NOMTNATIOX BY -SECOND
CHOICE"
The Washington primary law pro
vides that, wkm there are tour or
more candidates tor a state or Con
gressional office, the voter hall In
dicate on hl ballot hl "firsf and
-second" choice for uch office. In
case no candidate shall receive 40
per cent of the total first choice
votes, there shall be added to each
candidate's total all his second
choice votes, and the candidate re
ceiving the highest aggregate first
and seCDnd choice votes shall be
the nominee. No voter may cast
his ballot for the same candidate
as first and second choice. This
provision of the law does not aiply
to Judicial, county or local offices.
SEATTLE. Wash.. Sept. 9. (Special.)
Election returns, although late tonight
still Incomplete, indicate that Samuel G.
Cosgrove, of Pomeroy, a second choice
selection. will receive the nomination for
Governor of the Suite of Washington.
Cosgrove'a lead on second choice vote,
and. the split on first choice" votes be
tween Albert E. Mead and Henry Mc-F-rlde..
together .ffth. first choice vot-
dir1dd between live other candidates i
the fleM. have brought about a situation
peculiar I.-. 'Washington state po".tlcs.
The laixet returns from ali' parts of
the state Indicate that when the count
is completed Cosgrove may have a
plurality of all votes cast, leading both
McBrlde and Mead. Up to nearly mid
night the count showed McBrlde lead
ing Cosgrove, but belated returns from
remote country districts are adding to
Cosgrove's total. Mead is third in J.he
How dor-grove Won Fighu
Though Cosgrove's plurality. If he
lias one, will not be sufficient to nomi
nate him' as first choice, he is certain
to win he wasvoted for as second
choice by both McBrlde and Mead men.
About 30 per cent of the vote is still
to be counted.
Tonight the headquarters of Cosgrove
la flooded with congratulatory telegrams
and messages from all parts of the state.
Although the count J. still incomplete,
the victory is conceded to Cosgrove, and
Governor Mead hfm stiff was one of the
first to congratulate the Pomeroy man,
- Mead Will Take Stump.
At an early hour this morning indica
tions pointed to an extremely close con
test between McBrlde avnd Mead, but late
reports this afternoon dispelled what
ever hope the Mead men bad and the
Governor announced that he was prepared
to take the stump for Cosgrove and
would gladly do so.
Washington's new direct primary law
baa eliminated Senator Ankeny from the
race for Senator. Wesley L. Jones, by a
majority reaching wall into the thousands,
has been given the nomination and the
number of Republicans who arc ple-ltred
to vote always for the candidate of ti;'!r
choice receiving the highest popular vote,
precludes the possibility of the election
of Ankeny by the next Legislature.
Local Option Settled.
On the Governorship and the United
States Senatorshlp the great battle was
fought all over the state. All other
issues, save the question of local op
tion, were subservient to these con
tests. That the question of local op
tion is settled to a great extent is ap
parent from the returns at hand. It
is true that the Republican platform
Is committed to the local option idea,
but the fact that McBrlde was backed
by the liquor interests and received
such a heavy vote ss to place him sec
ond in the race on second choice-votes
and first in the race on first choice
votes, leaves the liquor men sanguine
that only a "reasonable" local option
law will be passed in the next legisla
ture. Reasons for Mead's Defeat.
Governor Mead's closest friends to
day admit that the issue of local op
tion and racetrack gambling is to
blame for his defeat. Even In his own
county he barely scratched through
and the vote against him in many
counties where campaign managers be
lieved him strong, fell off so surpris
ingly that no other conclusion can be
drawn.
King County was first and foremost
the battleground of the campaign. In
this county both Henry McBrlde and
Ankeny win by a heavy vote. That the
King County agreement to support the
wishes of Senator Piles carried the day
cannot be disputed In the face of the
returns. That an Insurgent movement

Going to Eugene, t
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Sept. 9. (Spe
cial.) Bill Main, one of the best prepara
tory school football players developed in
the schools of the Academic Athletlo
League, passed through the city today
on his way to the University of Oregon,
where he will commence his college ca
reer. Main graduated from Lick two years
ago with the reputation of being a star
halfback and tackle, having represented
the black and gold for four years. Since
that time he has been working in the
southern part of the state and recently
attempted to enter the University of Cali

of the Lick football team last season, will
follow Main to Oregon.

Angeles to Rabbit Drive.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., Sept. 9. (Spe
cial.) Jackrabblts are so thick in the
Antelope Valley that the ranchmen are
almost In despair. The animals are be
coming so fierce that they are actually
breaking down the fences around the
adjacent fields and eating the stuff down
to the roots. Not content with this,
they are swarming into the desert towns
and Invading the front yards of the
dwellers.
The citizens of Lancaster turned out
today and made a roundup. They put a
fence across the road between fences sur
rounding fields on either side and in a
short time drove in and killed with clubs
over 500 jackrabbits. So many rabbits
have been shot in the vicinity that the
stench is becoming unbearable and the
Inhabitants are working hard to bury
them in large pits. There are piles of
dead Jackrabbits four feet high.
The people of the valley are consider
ing the advisability of inviting Los An
geles to join In a general roundup. They
think several hundred men and boys, on
horseback, might be able to kill 40,000.

Remains in Air 57 Minutes 31
Seconds on First Trial.
DE LA GRANGE IS OUTDONE
Two Remarkable Triumphs Are
Achieved by American Inventor -at
Fort Meyer, Putting United
States in Lead In Aviation. v
WASHINGTON. Sept. 9. OrvUle
Wright, in three phenomenal flights at
Fort Meyer today, established new aero
plane records that not only assure the
success of the official trials before the
Army board, but Indicate that aerial
flight is now only a matter of develop
ment. War on land and sea will find in
the aeroplane, It is now conceded by
military men, a valuable means of recon
nolssance and possibly carnage.
Two flights of approximately one hour
each and another flight in which two
men were whirled through the air for
rnore than six minutes were the achieve
ments of the Wright brothers' aeroplane
today. That these flights, record-breaking
as they were, will be surpassed by
Orville Wright during his trials at Fort
Meyer is confidently predicted.
The first flight, made this morning, in
which the machine circled the drill
grounds at the fort 57 times in 57 min
utes SI seconds, was surpassed this
evening, when a flight of 62 minutes, and
15 seconds was made. He reached a
maximum height of 150 feet.
Takes Lahm For Company.
Not satisfied with breaking all distance
and time records for a heavier-than-alr
flying machine, Mr. Wright tp T.feii
ant Frank P. Lahm, the aer .' o; the
signal corps, for a spin arov-m the drill
grounds, making a new record for a two
man flight. All this happened so quickly
and unostentatiously that the spectators,
among whom were members of the cabi
net and high officers of the Army and
Navy, could hardly realize that history
had been made and that a new era in
tho progress of the civilized world was
begun.
The morning flight was witnessed by
only a handful of enthusiasts, but the
news spread so rapidly that fully 1000
people gathered to see the afternoon
event.
Rises Higher; Increases Speed.
At 5:16 the aeroplane rose grandly
Into space and sailed over the green
of the drill ground. Higher and higher
it rose, turned at a slight angle as
the avIa,tor brought it around at the
far side of the field, and raced along
at increasing speed. There was hardly
a quiver of the aeroplane in the .first
few rounds of the field. Round after
round the machine traveled on, cutting
short turns, shooting along the
stretches and presenting somewhat the
appearance of an automobile racing
about an imaginary course in the air.
The aviator paid little heed to any
thing but his levers until-the crowd
raised a cheer that told him of his new
achievements. Then Mr. Wright waved
his acknowledgments.
Before the flight was begun a watch

Federal Employes Who Have Evi

Is Determined to Act,
CHICAGO, Sept. 9. (Special.) Open
war between the Government legal force
and Secret Service officials and the Statoa
Attorney's office in Chicago was declared
today, when George W. Fitzgerald was ar
raigned before Judge Chetlain, charged
on a warrant sworn to by Private Detec
tive Herbert F. Young with robhing tne
Government of $173,000. stolen from the
subtreasury in the great mystery over a
year ago.
The United States Government today
made it known In the strongest possible
way that it will not assist the state au
thorities in the prosecution of Fitzgerald.
Orders were received from the Acting
Secretary of the Treasury directing of
ficers and employes of the Treasury De
partment to give no evidence or documents
gathered by the United States Secret Serv
ice men to the state unless specifically
Instructed to do so by United States Dis
trict Attorney Edwin W. Sims.
The effect may be a clash in authority
between the State and the Government,
if any Federal employe should be com
mitted hy the State Court for contci:ipt.
Even Assistant Treasurer William Bolcten
weck. who had Fitzgerald arrested with
out the knowledge of the Government,
may not testify, except under the limi
tations specified.
The fact became known that the Gov
ernment Secret Service officials deeply re
sent the action of the State's Attorney's
office in having arrested Fitzgerald on
the Initiative of Mr. Young, the Depart
ment having had men constantly at work
on the case since the robbery and being
in possession of far more important evi
dence than that obtained by Mr. Young.
Nothing daunted by the padlock rut on
the lips of the Government employes.
Assistant State's Attorney Barbour to
night issued subpenas for 15 witnesses
from the Subtreasury to appear in court
tomorrow. Ho will endeavor to compel
them to testify.
