Tha bridge draw controversy took a peculiar turn yesterday when United State District Attorney McCourt and llajor J. F. Mclndoe. of tha United S:K?a) Engineer,. tooK directly opposite views aa to the authority of the War Department under the Federal statues to oppose the reasonable regulation of the local draws by the County Court. Briefly summarised, the dsy'a developments were aa follows: After a conference with members of the County Court yesterday morning;, at which the Federal statute and state laws Intended to regutat river traffic were carefully rone over. United States Dis trict Attorney McCourt declared that In his opinion the county officials will not be violating; the Federal law if they put Into effect the orders Issued Monday, rloelna the draw of the Morrison-street and Burn side-street bridges, during cer tain period in the mornings and eve rings. Attorney McCourt declared fur ther that rivermen will have to present a clear case against the county, and will have to do more than merely make affi davit that the law has) been violated, be fore ha will prosecute on any complaints. . Order to Be Carried Out. With the advice of the United States Attorney to back them. County Judge Cleeton and Commissioner H. W. Goddard elated poaltlvely that their orders cloalng the draws will be put Into effect this morning. They promised to be at the bridges. In person to see that the bridge tender are not Interfered with In per forming their duty. On the other hand. Major James F. Mclndoe. Government Engineer In charge of the local harbor, declared that the Federal law will be violated every time a bridge draw is not promptly opened after a vessel ha signaled, and that who ever la reaponalble will be subject to a fine of from $HM to MC0 and possible Im prisonment for each offense. Major Mc lndoe baaed hl aland on regulations Is sued by the War Department In 1S86, which he says cever the case. ' Delay Not I'nreasonable. General Manager J. P. O'Brien of the O. R. N. declined to-enforce the Coun ty Court's regulations on the Railroad bridge. aa he had been requested to do, owing to the possibility of arrest and fine. After the conference with the county officials. United states District Attor ney McCourt made the following state ment: "It Is clear that the County Court does not Intend to Instruct Its bridge tenders to disregard entirely the signal of any craft desiring to pass through the draws." he said, but merely to Instruct them to delay during certain portions of the day opening of the draws for a few minutes to accom modate tha larger traffic crossing the bridges. In such case the persons complaining of violations of Federal statute will be compelled .under the law to show that the delay In their case was unreasonable. Clear Violation Moat Be Shown. "If any complaints shall result from the action of the County Court, persons complaining will hava to show that the circumstances surrounding their respective esses constitute a violation of tha law. the same as required In other criminal cases. And each case will necessarily be required to rest largely upon Ita own facts and cir cumstances."

STATE OFFICIALS UPHELD President Taft Will Be Commended for His Appointment of Secre tary of Interior, and Work of Regulars Approved. BY F.. G. CAL.LVERT. TACOMA. Wash.. Aug. 2. (Staff Correspondent.) The five Justice of the Supreme Court whose terms expire next January will be nominated for re election by the Republican state con vention, which convenes here tomor row. This much of the programme of the day Is conceded by all sides to be set tled, and almost equally sure is the selection of United States Senator Samuel H. Piles for temporary chair man, and J. Will Lysons, of Seattle, as secretary, and Howard Cosgrove. son of the late Governor, assistant secre tary of both temporary and permanent organisations. Indorsements to Be Specific. The resolutions, as now forecasted, will Indorse National and State Admin istrations, contain a pronounced con demnation of Pinchotism and Eastern domination of the control of the West ern resources, carry a ringing Indorse ment of Secretary of State R. A. Bal linger and commend President Taft for his appointment, and indorse the record of those members of Congress who sup ported the Taft Administration meas ures. These measures are likely to be named specifically so that there can be no question raised in the campaign as to the Intent of the convention. Western Senator May Be Favored. Whether the convention will recom mend the selection of a Western Washington candidate for ' United States Senator to succeed Samuel H. Piles Is still a matter of question, al though there is a pronounced senti ment In favor of such a plank among a number of the delegations. The candidates for Justices of the Supreme Court will be Mark A. Ful lerton, of Whitman County: Max F. Gose, of Walla Walla: Frank H. Rud kin, of Yakima: Emmett K. Parker, of Pierce and George E. Morris, of King. The leaders of the party and prob ably a majority of the 887 delegates to the convention are now In the city, and the settlement of the Judiciary contest was made possible tonight by . the presence of a sufficient number to speak authoritatively. Pierce County, where opposition had arisen against Judge Emmett N. Par ker and settled on Judge W. O. Chap man, this evening gave way to the majority will of the delegates. Pierce County delegates in caucus were brought the news that a sufficient number of delegates t onominate had been secured, and led by King. Spo kane.

"REST" IS NOT PERMANENT Secretary, on Way West for Vaca tion, Puts Quietus on Story -" That He Has Been Told to . 'Retire From Cabinet. CHICAGO, Aug. 2. Secretary Ballin ger's conference In Minneapolis yester day with . Senator Crane was not mys terious, the' Secretary , is not going to re sign as a result, and the subject dis cussed is not one In which the Secretary is directly interested. He said so today after reading the dis patches from Beverly, Mass., which in dicated that Senator Crane''s mission to the West was to carry the hint that Mr. Ballinger would aid the party in the forthcoming elections by withdrawing at this time. There's no resignation on the card, I can tell you," waa Mr. Balllnger's reply to this. Continuing, he said: "I simply am on my way to the Coast for a little rest. Some of them want to make my "rest" permanent, but It will not be. so long as President Taft is satisfied.. I met Crane yesterday morn ing through no arrangement of mine and the matter we discussed politics, of course was nothing which Interested me directly at all. Mr.. Crane wished to consult me and came to- where I was, that's all. There Is nothing mysterious about It. I guess he is gone back Bast now. "All this vicious attack by unscrupulous men, bucked By newspapers with even fewer scruples, go on and off me like water off a duck's back. That never will Induce me to resign." CRANE'S MISSION NEAR END Meeting With Ballinger In St. Paul - May Obviate Seattle Trip. BEVERLY, Mass.. Aug. 2. No state ment was forthcoming from - official quarters here today regarding the meeting between Senator Wlnthrop Murray Crane and Secretary of the In terior Ballinger in Minneapolis yester day. When It was suggested to the White House officers that Crane may have felt called upon, in order to bring about party harmony, to request the Secretary of the Interior to resign, the only answer was that Senator Crane would be the proper person to ask about that. When Senator Crane came to see Presi dent Taft last Friday an attempt was made to keep his visit secret. It is known that Senator Crane was sent for to go on an important mission for the President to. Seattle. The meeting with Secretary Bal linger at Minneapolis suggests a modi fication of the original predictions and justifies the announcement which fol lowed the interview here that Senator Crane "might not go all the way to the Coast." Secretary Norton admitted today that there was more to Senator Crane's mission than had appeared in the newspapers. Xt was said that Mr. Crane's visit to the President was in stigated more by certain party leaders. (Concluded on Paga 3.) OF YOURS, lotus IS A CORKER." Attack Is Aimed Indirectly at Rail roads Which Have Contracts With Express Companies. CHICAGO, Aug. 2. (Special.) Com mercial organizations - throughout the country have decided to engage In a fin ish fight with the express companies with a view to securing greatly reduced rates. The first gun In the campaign was fired today when the Chicago Associa tion of Commerce and 123 other influ ential commercial organizations In all parts of the country filed a petition with the Interstate Commerce Commission asking that body to make an Investiga tion on Its own motion into the charges made by express companies and into the revenues they are enjoying. Indirectly the attack on the express companies hits at railroad revenues, for a portion of the complaint Is based upon contracts entered into between their lines. The movement against the express companies was started by the Chicago Association of Commerce and the New York Merchants' Association, the former interesting most of the powerful com mercial organizations In the West, and the latter . influencing those in the East to join the movement. It is said that sufficient data has been gathered to warrant the Commission in reducing express charges by fully 50 per cent. Attorneys J. W. Griggs and B. I Fairchild have been retained by the as sociations to assist the Commission in Its investigation. Among other things the Commission Is asked to examine closely into the origin and character of the , contracts between railroads and the express companies and to make a full disclosure of the names of the stockholders, especially of the railroads holding stock in express com panies. COTTON EATS UP FORTUNE Ex-Bank. Cashier Desired to Be King of Speculators. NEW YORK. Aug. 2. According to friends' of Erwin G. Wider, who Is charged with having taken $680,000 from the Russo-Chinese bank here, the former cashier many years ago; con ceived a scheme for becoming a "cotton king" by .shrewd market moves. ; It was In an attempt to carry out this plan a few months ego, they say, that he was overwhelmed. Wider was short of cotton, they declare, all the time that Patten and his associates were advanc ing the price. The men advising Wider induced him to keep on turning over securities by telling him that with just a little more money up, they would be able to break Patten's pool and he would be the greatest man in the street. The report that Wider secreted stolen securities, or the money he real ized on them, was emphatically denied by his counsel. "If he ever had $100,000," said his lawyer, "he would not have kept it long. AS a matter of fact, he received practically no benefit from the securi ties he took. Wall Street with its voracious maw, swallowed them all." TWO HOBOS SHOOT CAPTOR Man-Hunt Is . On In Mountains About Slsson. SISSON, ' Aug. 2. Chester Wells Mapes. a farmer living a mile below town in Big Canyon, is at death's door with a bullet wound In his side and a bullet In the base of his brain. Two hundred men are scouring the cut-over lands between here and Mott hunting for two bobos who shoe him on a trail at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Mapes has lived here IB years. He found a cabin near his home was being robbed by hobos. Taking his gun he started down the trail and captured the hobos and was marching them to Slsson to deliver them to the officers. Half way to town the hobos asked to rest. All sat down. The hobos watched their chance, grabbed the gun and shot Mapes once In the arm and once In the mouth and fled Into the brush. Neigh bors gave the alarm. Sheriff Ward came over from Yreka and Is directing the chase. BRYAN'S MAN WITHDRAWS Signs Indicate ex-Leader Will Sup port Present Governor. OMAHA. Neb., Aug. 2. W. R. Pat rick, of Omaha, today announced his withdrawal from the race for the Dem ocratic nomination for Governor. Pat rick Is an advocate of county option and has been supposed to have the backing of W. J. Bryan. Richard I Metcalfe, editor of Mr. Bryan's paper, today announced that he Is supporting Shallenberger for re nomlnatlon. This in connection with the withdrawal of Mr. Patrick Is be lieved by political leaders to indicate that Mr. Bryan Intends to come out in favor of the present Governor. ALASKANS MAKE PROTESTS Wickersham Orders Special Marshals Sworn to Insure Honest Election. JUNEAU, Alaska, Aug. 2. Attorney General Wickersham and Secretary of Commerce and Labor Nagel visited the Treadwell mine today and also received many citizens. A committee interested in the election of James Wickersham as Delegate to Congress represented to the Cabinet officers that the great corpora tions were preparing to mass cannery and railroad laborers and vote them lor Orr. The Attorney-General thereupon or dered the swearing in of the. deputy mar shals at all labor centers to Insure an honest election. The election will take place August ft. Nomination of Stubbs Is Conceded. GAINS MADE FOR CONGRESS Platform Makers Chosen From Among Opposition Ranks. MAJORITY IS NEAR 14,000 Refusal to Indorse President Taft, Tariff Law and Other Acts of Congress Indicated Dento- ""j crats Make Nominations. J TOPEKA, Kan., Aug. 2. At midnight tonight Indications pointed to a decided insurgent gain in Kansas. The nomin ation of Governor W. Ii Stubbs. Who linked his fort unes with those of the Insurgent candidates for Congress, is virtually assured. Running close to him is R. J. Hopgins, Insurgent can didate for Lieutenant-Governor. Candidates for three places on the Supreme Court Bench, three places on the State Board of Railroad Commis sioners, and for all other stte offices were nominated today. Eight candi dates were named by each party for Congress, and 125 candidates by each party for membership in the State House of Representatives. Insurgents Control Platform. The supporters of Governor ' Stubbs, whose . insurgency - admits of no doubt, estimate his majority in the state at 14.000. Such a result will carry with it the election from the insurgent faction of a majority of the Republican county chairmen of the 105 counties, who, with the state, Congressional and State Sena torial and legislative nominees, make up the ' party council to adopt a platform and elect a state central committee. It seems certain therefore that the Insurgents will control the Republican party council to be held August' 30 and that this body will refuse to indorse the Administration of President Taft and the Payne -Aid rich tariff law and other acts of the present Republican Congress. Mssages from Leavenworth say that Anthony, regular Republican candidate for Congress from the First district, and Wagstaff, would carry that county by 2000 majority. This insures the nomlna tion of Anthony by about 3000 majority over T. A. McNeal, Insurgent. Race Is Closed. Indications In the Second district are that the race is exceedingly close, but that Scott, regular candidate for Con gress, has a chance of winning over Alexander Mitchell, Insurgent. Scattering reports from the Third dis trict indicates the nomination of Repre sentative P. P. Campbell over his insur gent opponent, Arthur Cranston, by 3500 majority. Reports from the Fourth district show heavy Insurgent gains and It is consid ered certain that F. 8. Jackson, Insurgent, has defeated Representative J. M. Miller, regular candidate, by 3500. Jackson is the present Attorney-General of the state. The Fifth District Insurgent Congres sional Committee has telephoned from Salinas that R. R. Rees, insurgent, has defeated Representative W. A. Calder head, regular candidate, by 1800. Nothing definite has been heard from the Sixth district, which is in the Northwestern part of the state. In this district a three cornered fight may save Representative Reeder, the regular candidate. Insurgents Not Opposed. The Seventh and Eighth districts are represented by Representatives Madison and Murdock, insurgents, and they have no opposition in the Republican primary. It seems certain that the regular Re publicans have lost two and' possibly three Representatives. " Charles Session was nominated for Sec retary of State without opposition and John S. Dawson for Attorney-General without opposition. The principal names on the Demo cratic state ticket for the November general election, nominated today, fol low: For Governor, George H. Hodges; for Lieutenant-Governor, E. T. Ravens croft; Secretary of State, Ray L. Tay lor State Auditor, Jonathan S. Miller; for Attorney-General, L. F.; Morrison; for State Treasurer. B. M.
