The first meeting of the State Railway
Commission will bo held In Tacoma to
morrow. Instead ot In Olympla. This

Lawrence, the only member of the com
mission here, and Governor Mead. The
reason for the change In plan is that the

ernor has accepted an Invitation to crown
the Queen of the Tacoma Rose Carnival,
so In order that he may attend both func
tions, the commission will meet in Ta
coma. It Is considered likely that the secre
tary of the commission, which Is prac
tically the last appointment carrying any
considerable salary now left for the ad
ministration to flu. will not b elected
tomorrow. It Is understood that r th.
desire to place the position in the south
west, but the situation is complicated by
the hard pressure being brought to bear
in oenait oi j. vm x-sons. ot Seattle.

assistant secretary of the Republican State
Central Committee, was. here today in
Lysons' behalf, but It Is understood he
couia not get a sausiactory reply rroxa
the Governor. So far no names from the

than that of H. D. Crawford, of Aber-
rin. In LM!tinn tn T.nnnc fh Tnr4V

habeas corpus for Hugh O'Neill, of Se

him was based on this specific Instance.
He was arrested yesterday on the ground
that he had no certificate of authority
from the railway company to sell tickets.

Court for a writ of habeas corpus, con
tending that the new law Is In violation
of sections S and 12 of article 1 of tne
state constitution, and section 1 of the
14th amendment to the United States Con
stitution In the following particulars: It
deprives him of his business andproperty
wlthoui due process of law; denies him
equal protection of the laws; grants rail
way corporations special privileges and
Immunities, ana gives them the right to
create crimes, and declare who shall or
shall not be guilty thereof.
The Supreme Court, after consideration
of the petition, refused to assume Imme
diate Jurisdiction. The writ was Issued.
but was mode returnable In the Superior
Court of King County, where the cas.e
must be first argued and decided. Either
party will then have the right to appeal
to the Supreme Court jor final determina
lion of the points involved.

ammunition.
It was determined that Lobb must be
captured, dead or alive, and all the
ropms adjoining the one he occupied
were quickly filled with armed officers.
lively fusillade was begun through
the door, transom and walls of the
madman's stronghold, to which he re
sponded with remarkable rapidity. The
plaster was scattered from tho cell
ing walls and the police were soon
covered with the white flakes and
nearly blinded by the lime.
Officer Kasslne attempted to peer
through the transom, when he received
a charge, of shot which disfigured his face
and completely riddled his helmet. Then
Officer Hutchlns descended from the root
to the room window, while the other po
licemen made an attack In force on tho
door.
When Hutchlns saw the maniac's at
tention was diverted, ho gave a pre
arranged signal by firing hfa revolver.
Hearing tho report from an unexpected
quarter, the murderous lunatic rushed to
the window, which was open, and literally
blew oft the top of his own head, the
brains and fragments of the skull flying
through the air, to the horror of the
thousands of spectators who had assem
bled In the neighborhood, which Is near
the heart ot the city.
