SNOW KEEPS BUCK
OF STATE'S
Ex-Highway Commissioner of
Washington Admits He
Retained Funds. .
SAYS NONE TO GIVE IT TO
Although Requested Resignation
Takes Effect August 1, Not Cntll
Books Are Exported Does He
Mention Fund in Hand.
OLHinA, 'Wash.. Oct. 14. Opeclal.)
By hta own written admission Josepn M.
Snow. ex-Highway Commissioner, has in
his possession about 13000 belonging to
the state. Although his requested resig
nation of ths office took effect August 1,
It was not until Governor Hay had given
cut a statement that, the books were be
ing experted and that Snow had failed
to account for certain funds that the
ex-H!ghway Commissioner made any
reference to this retained coin.
Governor Hay. through Highway Com
missioner Bowlby, had called upon Snow
to report as to .the status of J10.000 paid
Snow for the state by the Milwaukee
road for the right to use- part of a state
road near Lake Keechelus. and Snow
paid no attention to the demand. The
State Bureau of Accountancy called upon
F:iow to submit his vouchers and corre
spondence respecting this .deal, papers
which Snow had taken from the highway
office when he left here.
Today State Auditor Clausen received a
letter written by Snow at Spokane, in
which the former official writes that he
is forwarding by express both Touchers
and the correspondence. In addition
Snow says he has this r.WO in his pos
session and to ready to turn It over to
sny person entitled to receive it.
That Snow had fajled to turn over any
actual coin to his successor was a disa
greeable surprise to the local friends of
the ex-Commissioner. Bowlby waa not
in Olympia August 1 to take over the
office nor waa It known that day when
he would arrive. Snow left on receiving
dvlce from the Attorney-General that his
resignation prevented him performing any
duties after August 1. whether Bowlby
was on hand to receive the office or not.
But weeks have passed and friends of
Snow are at a loss to explain why in the
Interim the ex-Commlssloner -absolutely
failed to make any report or to turn
over -this cash and why he thought It
advisable to carry away tha vouchers and
other correspondence, relating to the mat
ter. GRAVES TO BE ATTORNEY

SHUTOUT TACTICS BEGUN
Oakland A Tidewater Road Buys
Land Wanted by Another Line.
. MAR8HFTELD, Or.. Oct. 14. (Special.)
Considerable comment was created here
by a report that "W. W. Purdy. chief en
gineer and manager of the Oakland &
Tidewater Road, organized to build from
Oakland to Coos Bay, had bought or
- taken options on large tracts of land on
the south side of Coos River.

the land by Purdy will block the survey

Town Is Alarmed Because John G.
Wheelock la Myaterlonaly Gone.
HOQUIAM. "Wash.. Oct. 14. (Special.)
Some apprehension Is felt by friends over
the unexplained absence of John G.
Wheelock. a long-time resident of this
city, well advanced in years and possess
ing considerable property. Mr. Wheelock
Is single and Is a man of steady habits.
His apartments at the Hotel Pomona
have been unoccupied since Monday, and
business men about town do not remem
ber having seen him since that day.
Whether he Is a victim of foul play,
an accident or has merely left town tem
porarily without notifying his associates
(which is considered unlikely), cannot be
determined and the matter has been put
up to Chief Oliver for an investigation.

2000
afternoon and under the protection and
guidance of representatives of the senior
class, proceeded to elect officers and
perfect their class organization. Not a
sophomore appeared to mar the harmony
of the occasion. Everything was orderly
and peaceful. Never in the history of
the college has a freshman class broken
Into the sphere of college life and tradi
tions so peacefully and easily as the
class of 1913. This Utopian condition Is
due In part to the faculty decree pro
hibiting hazing, but mainly to the atti
tude of the upper classmen, who. con
trary to all precedents, have welcomed
the freshies with open arms and have
protected and aided them at every turn.
Tho officers elected this afternoon
were: Chester A. Mansfield, president;

NITIATIVE IS ATTACKED
LOCAL. OPTION LAW HELD IN
VALID FOR LACK OF TITLE.
Contention Made In Suit of State v,
Langworthy on Trial In Su

SALEM. Or.. Oct. 14.-(Speclal.)-More
than ordinary Interest Is being manifest
ed by attorneys In the outcome of the
case of the State vs. Langworthy. a
Tillamook County local-option contest,
which was argued this week before the
Supreme Court.
Both In their brief and oral arguments.

Initiative measures, did not certify the

requires, but Instead simply called the
act the local-option act and in accord
ance therewith it was placed on the bal
lot under the title, "For Local Option"
..wt "iraini 1-nml Ontion." The claim
is made that because the title of the act
did not appear on the ballot me jaw is
Invalid.
The point is thus set forth: "The in
itiative and referendum Is only an amend
ment to the constitution and Its other
provisions with respect to the enactment
of laws applies, even if by initiative peti
tion. Every act shall have a title, and
article 4, section 20 of the constitution
applies to initiative enactments the same
as legislative." Numerous authorities are
cited. . Longworthy Is represented by

ford. I. H. Van Winkle. John H. Mc
Nary. Assistant District Attorney, and
W. H. Coeper and H. T. Botts. of Tilla

measure waa ever properly submitted to
the voters there Is now none In force.

PENDLETON. Or., Oct. 14. (Special.)
Though the new grand Jury this morning
took up the Investigation of the Ryan

taken, the Indictment will probably be
read tomorrow forenoon.
