Lieutenant-Governor Hay 14 tonight ho would continue the same policy he had followed aa Lieutenant-Governor; that he would make few. If any changes, and If any were made It would be for cause. PASO ROBLES. Cal.. March 28 (Special.) Samuel Q. Cosgrove, Gov ernor of the State of Washington, died, here suddenly at 3:80 o'clock this (Sunday) morning. Heart failure was the immediate cauae of the Governor's death. Al though "his condition had recently been reported as improving, the Gov ernor had really been growing worse, and two days ago he took to his room. Although conscious of his weakened condition, death was sudden and there was no opportunity for a last farewell between husband and wife. Broken by Strain of Campaign. Blight's disease had marked Gov. ernor Oosgrove for a victim over eight months ago. He broke down in health during the Washington primary cam paign, retiring to his home at Pomeroy, Wash., in September, and was brought to Paso Robies Hot Springs shortly after the election in November. Al though Governor Cosgrove improved slightly under the treatment here, the strain of the trip to Olympia to take the Inaugural oath was too great and an Immediate reaction set in. Wife Overcome by Grler. Mrs. Cosgrove. worn out from her months of constant attendance upon her feeble husband, was overcome by her grief, but late this afternoon had recovered her poise sufficiently to make the preliminary arrangements for starting home with the body. It has been decided that Mrs. Cosgrove, accompanied by Mr. and Mr. t i' Anderson, of Seattle, friends of the Cosgroves. will leave Paso Robies to morrow (Monday) morning at 8:10 on the northbound train for San Fran cisco. If that train Is on time the funeral party will he ahi . with the Portland Express leaving bibuu m i.av monaay afternoon. Funeral Train Here Tuesday. This will bring them into Portland late Tuesday night and a hurried trip will be made to Olympia, the capital of Washington. It is the desire of Mrs. Cosgrove to have services held at the Capitol and later the remains will be removed to the family home at Pomeroy. These arrangements, how ever, are subject to change, as the Governor's son has been telegraphed to look after affairs in Washington. For several months prior to his elec tion as Governor last November, the late Mr. Cosgrove was in poor health, chiefly due to the unaccustomed strain of campaigning. He kept up his work, however, until September, when he" was' forced to return to his home. Im mediately after his election he was re moved to the Paso Robies Hot Springs In the hope that he would recover his health. Baths Give Onlj Temporary Keller. Although in December there were re ports that the Governor-elect was dy ing, the mineral baths did relieve his condition to the extent that he felt it safe to return to Washington in Jan uary to be inaugurated Governor.

The time of the lawmakers will be taken up with other things, the. most important of which will be the waterway bills. The end of the deadlock Is not in sight, and it is predicted that the end will not come during the. present session of the Legislature. As the situation now stands, the storm center of activity for the next few days will be in Chicago. Before departing from Springfield, the "anti" leaders declared that the attempt to break the deadlock will be renewed this week, and that the fighting will be carried on with intensity.

Speaker Would End Struggle.
