SLAYDEN URGED TO
GIVE UP TO MEIGS
Tacoma Candidate for Speak
er Insists, However, He Is
Already Victor.
RUTH - IS CLAIMING CINCH
Declares He Is Without Opposition,
Except Desire of Governor Hay
to Have Man of Own Choice'
in President's Chair.
SEATTLE, Wash. .June 14. (Special.)
In sptte of the fact that J. w. Slayden
professes to have a clear majority of
two votes for the Speakership of the next
Legislature, it is known here tonight that
Mr. Slayden's particular friends have
urged him to withdraw from the contest
and leave the field open to L. O. Meigs,
of North Yakima. This conclusion has
been reached by reason of the fact that
it Is intended that the special session of
the Legislature shall be as short as pos
sible. However. Mr. Slayden is not in-clined-to
admit his defeat, and says: '
"Reorganization of the House at the
extra session will not take more than a
few minutes."
Slayden Is Confident.
Slayden arrived in ' the ci;y this
morning from Tacoma and is. a guest
of the Hotel Arlington. His mission,
he said, had no political significance,
his presence here today being explained
by the fact that he was- down for a
speech on the programme of exercises
at the unveiling of the statue of Wash
ington at the exposition.
"The objection has been raised that
reorganization will take too long."
continued Slayden. "In the first place,
I firmly believe it is absolutely incum
bent to reorganize. Governor Hay or
anybody else to the contrary notwith
standing. "I am confident I will be elected.
Enough members of the House have
promised me their votes to guarantee
that."
Rath Has Cinch, He Says.
Slayden during the past few days
has been working in the Interests of
his condidacy in Whatcom, Skagit and
Snohomish counties. His supporters
claim those counties, with the excep
tion of two or three votes.
Senator A. S. Euth, of Olympia, also
Is a guest of the Hotel Arlington. The
efforts of Governor Hay to prevail on
some members of the Senate to contest
his return to the presidency of that body
amuse him.
"I have what is technically known as
a cinch." said Senator Ruth this morn
ing. "So far the Governor seems to have
failed to Induce anybody to come out
against tne. For that matter, I don't
care whether I am returned to the chair
or not, and have consequently asked no
member to vote for me. Governor Hay,
should he follow out his programme and
get the Legislature to appropriate a large
sum to finance the continuance of the in
vestigating committee for . two years,
would like to be able to dictate the ap
pointment of the two Senators who win
be members of such a committee. That
explains why he thinks reorganization in
the. House to be a waste of time end in
the Senate a crying necessity."

OUTLAW IS CAPTURED
SURRENDERS AFTER BATTLE
WITH ARMED POSSE.
Self-Confessed Cattle Thief Breaks
Down When Confronted by
His Aged Father.
SPOKANE, Wash., June 14. Tom
Greenman, alleged cattle thief, who es
caped when his partner, Bascom Wallace,
was killed in the fight with Spokane
Deputy Sheriffs Friday night, surrendered
to the Sheriff, today. He had been in
hiding about 20 miles from Spokane, and
was found by his aged father, who
persuaded him to give himself up.
Greenman, it is stated, admits belong
ing to an organized gang of cattle
thieves operating for a long time past in
the country west of here. He says that
Dwlghf L. Pershall, one of the men now
under arrest, was "the. organizer of the
band. Many ranchers from Douglas
County are here today to identify stolen
cattle.
The voluntary prisoner was unhurt,
having gone unscathed through a re
volver fight. In which 18 shots were ex
changed. Food and drink were brought
to him daily by friends. When Green
man was arrested he and his aged father
broke down. The elder Greenman left his
ranch near Sprlngdale and learned where
his ' son was hiding and Tom Greenman
was persuaded to give himself up.
Deputies assert that "Cap" Madison, a
rancher down the river, and one Turfee,
Greenman's brother-in-law, have been
taking care of Greenman since he became
a fugitive. Turfee is charged with hav
ing deceived Deputy Sheriffs Saturday,
when they were searching for Greenman
by giving out the false information that
Greenman, shot in both shoulders and
suffering greatly from his wounds, called
at Turfee's cabin Friday night and had
his wounds dressed.
HERMIT SLAIN FOR GOLD
AGED CHINAMAN FOUND MUR
DERED IN CABIN.
Seen Alive Last Time When He Left
Rosebnrg After Exchanging
Gold Dust for Coin.
ROSEBURG. Or.. June 14. (Special.)
An aged Chinaman who has resided in
the vicinity of Riddle during the past SO
years, and who is a well-known character
throughout the entire county, was found
dead near bin chin ri.n.ti -
- """luj biuji a u C1UCK
this afternoon. An examination of the
body revealed the fact that he had been
juuiucreu. nis neaa and face being bat
tered almost beyond recognition.
The last spon rf th orrai . ,
' ' -1 ci t l was lasi
Friday, when he visited Riddle, exchang-
u M"j.ii.y ui goia oust ror an equiva
lent amount of money. It is presumed
that he was followed on his return by the
person or persons responsible for the
crime, being attacked as he started to
enter his cabin, which is situated at an
isolated spot about six miles from Riddle.
From all appearances the Chinaman
was struck a blow on the head with a
blunt Instrument, after which the mur
derer inflicted other injuries, either of
which would have resulted in death.
The officers entertain the belief that
the murder was committed for the pur
pose of robbery, the victim having been
known to have considerable cash con
cealed about his cabin. Local Chinatown
is wrought up over the murder.

FREIGHT RATE
Tariff Schedule to Be Inde

Figures.
MAKES FOR COMPETITION
President Earling Hopes There Will
Be No Kate War, but Says He
Will Be in Positoln to Bid
for Business.
SEATTLE, Wash.. June 14. (Special.)
For the first time in the history of any
Western railroad, the Chicago, Milwau
kee & Puget Sound Railway will publish
a complete set of tariffs Independently of
the Transcontinental Freight Association.
President A. T. Earling, of the Milwau
kee, who arrived on a special train to
night over the new line, said his line
would make its own rates without refer
ence to the freight association. The new
tariffs arrived today with Traffic Man
ager R. M. Calkins, and will be pub
lished in Seattle within a few days. The
rates have been filed with the Interstate
Commerce Commission and are already
in effect.
"I have just come over the Pacific
Coast extension." said President Earling
tonight, "and I am satisfied with the
road. It will speak for itself within a
fortnight. The Milwaukee has decided
not to go into the Transcontinental
Freight Association. We shall make our
own rates and publish our own tariffs.
We shall be in a position to make rates
promptly without reference to any asso
ciation or to any other line,"
Easier to Change Rates.
Asked if the position of the Milwaukee
meant a freight rate war with other
lines. President Earling said:
"I should hope not. It is not the pur
pose of the Milwaukee to dlstrub the sit
uation, but the occasion may arise when
we shall desire to change our rates, and
it may bo done more promptly by act
ing . independently. . We shall of course
observe the statutory requirements of 30
days' notice to the Interstate Commerce
Commission, but we shall be free to act
without a conference with other lines."
Roswell Miller, chairman of the board
of directors of the Milwaukee; Mrs. Ros
well Miller, R. M. Calkins, traffic man
ager; A. L. Fluelllng. of Spokane, who
has charge of the Milwaukee timber in
terests; H. B. Earling, general superin
tendent; George Earling. son of the
president, and H. R. Williams, president
of the Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget
Sound, were In President Earllngs party.
The special arrived at Black River Junc
tion at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Mrs.
Miller, Mr. Flueliing and George Earling
came to Seattle, while President Earling
President Williams, Superintendent h!
B. Earling and Mr. Miller went to Ta
coma to Inspect the work in that city.
The party arrived at the Hotel Wash
ington shortly after 9 o'clock tonight.
Action Means Competition.
That the Milwaukee will lie a ' strong
factor in ratemaking, not-only for trans-,
continental hauls, but for overseas traf
fic, railroad men believe. By acting in
dependently new rates can be made with
in 30 days, while the operation is much
slower where the Transcontinental
Freight Association must be consulted.
The Milwaukee is a new road and the
officials are not convinced that the freight
association could meet the needs f the
publlo and of fSe road. That the Mil
waukee Will make a Btrnn. KIJ t l
ness is understood in' railroad circles, and
IX. 1 possiDie to compete with
the Atlantic seaboard lines for freight
which goes to the Orient. While there'
will be no tearing up of existing sched
ules, the result will be competitive freight
rates for Seattle and for the Pacific
Northwest.
President Earling said last night that
he had no announcement to make con
cerning the passenger station for his rail
road. Temporarily the road wiu use the
Columbia & Puget Sound Btatlon.
"I cannot say when through passen
ger trains will be run." he BaiL.

Judge B. Tweedy was today elected
Mayor of Lewiston by a majority of S32
votes of a total of 1420 votes cast, his
opponent being- ex-United States Senator
Henry Heitfeld, who for the past four
years has been Mayor and was striving
for a third election. With the defeat of
Mayor Heitfeld went the entire admin
istration Council ticket by majorities
ranging from 113 to 246.'
The campaign has been one of tho bit
terest In the history of the city, the
administration being charged with ex
travagance, non-enforcement of the laws,
incompetency of appointed officers sod
general disregard of the taxpayers' inter
ests. The light against Mayor Hettfeld was
commenced two years ago when he was
before the people for a second term elec
tion, but the organization was not suf
ficient to defeat his perfect machine. A
year ago the taxpayers succeeded In
electing a council ticket, and for' sev
eral months have been organizing for the
success of the ticket at tho election
today. -
The independent ticket was backed by
the heaviest taxpayers in the city, and
Its candidates are pledged to a con
