GLADSTONE PARK CROWDED DAILY SURPRISES AT OLYMPIA Line Positions Show Many Changes. - Some Candidates Slip Out and Postpone Filing of Declarations. OLYMPIA, Wash., July 10. (Special.) i Beginning at 9 o'clock this morning, Sam. H. Nichols, Secretary of State, began re ceiving declarations of candidacy for Con gressional. Senatorial, Joint Judiciary. Joint Legislative and state offices, and there were many surprises. In all 57 declarations were filed during the day and about J22JO was collected in fees. The first surprise came when Secretary Nichols kept his office door locked until he had filed the declaration of himself for re-election and of his deputy, J. H. Schively, for Insurance Commissioner. This done, the line which formed several days ago. was admitted. Link Davis, of Tacoma, appeared first in line and filed the declaration of Ankeny for Senator. Second in line was an employe of Davis, who filed the nomination of Lee Johnson, of Sunnyside, for Congress. The third man employed by Davis was No. 9 and filed for Kldpath, of Spokane, for Gover nor. Atkinson, for Governor, came 12th. Joe W. Robinson, a local attorney, recent ly disbarred by the Supreme Court, filed for Governor as No. 26. This was unex pected, as it had been stated Robinson was a candidate for the Supreme Bench. Neither Cosgrove, McBrlde or Mead filed their declarations today. Dicker for Advantages. A peculiar feature was the changes in line. Davis, for Instance, did not have the positions he started out with.' In fact, although there were 25 In line last night, things switched around so that but 19 of these actually presented declara tions. Calvert, for Land Commissioner, whose son received the first tip on tho proposed line, pulled his line boy out, it Is said, only when he discovered that Ross was ahead of, him in line. It is self evident that from the time the line formed there has been considerable deals and tradings. None of the boys were hired directly by the candidates and it was Impossible with the frequent changes In personnel of the line to determine who each represented. Of course, today when the numbering of the declarations as filed made possible positive knowledge whom each line boy stood for there was a scampering for over on the part of those who sought to conceal that they had taken part in the scramble. It Is estimated that probably 10 or more who. originally had boys In the line got scared and sold out their positions, turned them over to friends or quietly Uet the boy drop out of the lne into the crowd of spectators. Jones Gets Xumber 49. At 9 o'clock the head of the line faced the door of Nichols' private office, the line extending down the main corridor. Grouped around were probably 100 specta tors and candidates. Three well-built men ffUarded the linA tn nmvant ontr KvAnla at the door and the representatives o( the candidates were admitted one at a time. As the line slowly worked its way In, late arrivals took places at the end. At 9:40 o'clock 42 declarations had been filed. Then Secretary Nichols opened the mail and filed the declarations that it con tained as the line had been disposed of. After this the declaration of Wesley L. Jones, for Senator, was filed by Ed Cow en, which brought the total number up to 49. Personally and by mall other dec larations were filed during the afternoon to make the total 57 and curiously enough last on the list was I. M. Howell, of Ta coma, Nichols- rival for the nomination for Secretary. But five Democrats filed declarations. The list In the order filed follows: Those Who Filed Declarations. Sam H. Nlrhol, Everett.

He was warmly received and the col lege hour was carried out by a band of students who mounted the platform and to the piano accompaniment of Miss Edna Caufleld, sang some of the varsity songs.

The Oregon Railroad Commission today an nounced Us Intention to conduct, on Its own initiative, a thorough Investiga tion of express and grain rates In this state. Details of the plan of investiga tion have not been made public, but It is probable that a number of public hearings -will be had, testimony will be taken and evidence collected re garding the reasonableness of charges now Imposed. The Commission will work upon this large task as Its time will permit. Sometime ago Rate Clerk Miller pro cured and tabulated statistics show ing comparative express rates In this and othfr states. The figures showed such widely varying rates that the Commission undoubtedly felt that there must be Inequality and Injustice some where. The Investigation Is designed to show whether rates now charged in this state are reasonable, and, if not, what rates should be established in their stead. The investigation Is one that will be of interest to the people of every community, and particularly to communities producing, articles that must be shipped by express. The investigation will affect only the rates on shipments entirely with in the state, for the Commission has no Jurisdiction over interstate com merce, t The Army Scripture Readers'.
