PROGRAMME.
OLTMPIA, Wash., June 12.
(Special.) A call for a general cau
cus of the Republican members of
the House -was prepared by the
Slayden forces late tonight, pledg
ing all signers to support a con
tinuation of the legislative Investi
gation and the passage of a law
abolishing the ofHce of Insurance
t'ommlmssloner. and putting the
Insurance Department under control
of the Tax Commission.
Twelve supporters of Rosenhaupt
for President of the Senate cau
cused tonight and laid claim to SO
members. In the absence of Piper

treak with Ruth, making possible
a deadlock. If both sides stand pat.
OLYMPIA. Wash., June 22. (Staff Cor
respondent.) The Washington Legisla
ture will convene In special session at 3
P. M. tomorrow to receive the report of
the legislative investigation committee,
but tonight the matters or organization
and length of session are in the air.
The prospects are-for close -contests in
both houses on organization on the old
wet and dry lines, but that a settlement
will be reached tomorrow morning and
neither fight carried to the floor of the
legislature.
About 20 of the supporters of J. W.
Slayden, of Tacoma, who seeks the posi
tion of Speaker, held a conference tonight
and decided to call a caucus for 12:30 P.
M. tomorrow. U q. Meigs, of North
Yakima, Speaker of the House in the
last regular session, declares he will not
to into caucus.
Slayden Wants Old Committee.
The programme offered by Slayden is
the reappointment of the committee of
the regular session, with but few changes
and the adoption of a resolution restrict
ing business to matters germane to the
graft Investigation.
While the programme gives no indica
tion of a wet or dry alignment, Slayden's
following is composed almost exclusively
. of the liberal House members. Among
them is Frank H. Renlck, who organized
Meigs- campaign in the last session.
Renick's declaration regarding his
change of attitude is that it is simply a
matter of passing honors around, and
that Slayden. who was Meigs- opponent
last Winter, pro-ed a good loser and is
entitled to the honor this time. Renick is
one of the liberal members.
In the House indications point to pret
ty nearly an even break between Meigs
and Slayden, with what small odds there
re favoring Meigs. Meigs tonight claims
he has pledges from 66 of the 96 members
of the house, or more than sufficient to
elect.
Same Old Line-up In Senate.
In the Senate there is the same wet
and dry alignment, with a close contest
In sight between Harry Rosenhaupt. of
Spokane, and Ruth, the presiding officer
of the regular session.
Rosenhaupt men have prepared a cau
cus call for Republican Senators, but
have not yet attempted to get signatures,
and hav given up the plan until tomor
row, because of the failure of a number
of the members of the upper house to
arrive. There are only 26 of the 42 mem
bers of the Senate in Olympla tonight.
Among the absentees are three whose
position on reorganization is in doubt.
These are Blair of San Juan. Stewart of
Cowlitz and Davis of Kittitas.
The stand of P. L. Allen, chairman of
the investigating committee, also is in
doubt on Senate reorganization. Allen
worked with the Ruth faction through
out the regular session, but Ruth's op
position to further investigations and his
condemnation of the call for the special
session may cause a break. Allen, who
is In Olympla. refuses to say how he will
vote on presiding officer.
Xevr Legislation Wanted.
There are 56 of the !6 House members
in Olympla, making about two-thirds of
the total members here. Not one can be
found who does not, in words at least,
advocate a short session. The most com
mon remark is, "I am opposed to gen
eral legislation, but there is one matter
I would like to see taken up and disposed
of." And so it goes. Every member has
some measure in mind that he thinks is
of sufficient importance to be considered
in the special session, but who thinks
again that the session should be limited
to that one matter.
Strong pressure will be brought to bear

Used as Signal to Intimidate Wit

CHICAGO, June 22. The trial of Joseph
Bertucci on a charge of murder suddenly
halted in Judge Winde's court here today
when an Italian entered the courtroom
and waved a handkerchief at Bruno
Nardi, the star witness for the state, who
had just taken the stand to tell of the
murder.
The unknown Italian fled after giving
his signal of warning.
Nardi refused to answer any more ques
tion asked by the prosecutor, saying he
would be killed if he testified against
Bertucci. The same fear was expressed
by Nardi's wife, also a material witness,
and the prosecutor was forced to adjourn
the trial.
