POINDEXTERRUSE
MOUSES' LEADERS
Possibility of His Getting Dem
ocratic Assistance Is
Opposed.
COTTERILL IS PROTESTING
Republicans Say That if Candidate
or Senator Is Indorsed Through
' Help of Other Side, Legisla
te tors Need Xot Vote tor Him.
SEATTLE, TVaeh.. July 22. (Special.)
The possibility that Miles Poindexter,
Insurgent candidate for Senator, will
receive Democratic support at the Sep-
tember primary has aroused the op
position of leaders of both parties. Re
publicans have gone so far as to say
that if the insurgent secures indorse
ment through Democratic votes, the
legislators will not feel bound to vote
lor him. A notable instance is thtr
attitude of Senator Arvid Rydstrom, of
Pierce, who has declared emphatically
that no insurgent could get his support,
no matter how the indorsement as a
Republican might be obtained.
Democrats are taking the same
ground. When George F. Cotterill, of
lieattle, filed as a Democrat for the
Senatorial indorsement, he issued an
Address to members of his party
throughout the state. Cotterill has
heretofore defined his politics as ad
herence to the principles of Jefferson
Ian Democracy and Lincoln Republi
canism. At the same time, he is unal
terably opposed to any member of the
Democratic party calling for a Re
publican ballot at the primary in order
to vote for Poindexter.
He Insists that unless Democrats
file for legislative nominations, and
Democrats call for Democratic ballots
end nominate them at the primary,
there can be no possibility of success
ful opposition to the Republicans. He
States the case thus:
Cotterill Makes Protest.
"We would have no names on the
official ballot in most of the legislative
districts, and no method of getting
names on the official ballot would then
toe practicable either for Democrats or
for Republicans who would desire
Folndexter's election. Regular Repub
lican nominees for the Legislature,
openly rejecting and repudiating Poln
3exter's nomination, would be elected
In November unopposed, and the elec
tion of a 'standpat.' reactionary, con
servative Republican Senator at
Olympla In January would thereby be
made certain. I do not propose to en
courage action which would risk the
almost certain loss of every opportun
ity to apply Democracy at the Novem
ber election in order to engage in a
"loaded-dice" Republican primary in
September."
Advocates of direct legislation have
een hurling darts at Governor M. E.
Hay. on account of expressions used by
him in a recent speech at Tacoma.
Christopher W. Horr, executive secre
tary of the Direct Legislation League
of the state, takes exception to the
iollowlng utterance of the Governor:
"There are those who now advocate
a return to the system that a race out-
rrew as it emerged from barbarism
they would have us, who are in the
midst of highly-organized civilization,
attempt to govern ourselves with a sys
tem that met the needs of a simple,
pastoral and barbaric age."
Mr. Horr cites the nomination of
Supreme Court Judges in convention as
o. betrayal of the people's interests, and
declares that direct legislation is the
most Important question before the
tate today. Paul Holbrook, candidate
for Representative in the Forty-Seventh
District, goes further, saying that
'once we fix the matter so that no
Legislature can 'deliver the goods' in
the way of special favors, then bribery
of legislators will cease."
Humphries Makes Denial.
Judge John E. Humphries corrobo
rates Senator John L. Wilson's denial
of a report that the two Senatorial
candidates had entered into a compact
whereby Humphries was to quit Sena
torial politics and try for the Supreme
Court. Judge Humphries declares that
at no time have he and Senator Wilson
lind any conversation, directly or In
directly, about the Senatorial race or
the Supreme Court Judgeship.
Senator S. H. Piles is now making a
tour of the northwestern counties in
the interest of the Burke Senatorial
campaign. 11 will visit Snohomish.
Kagi-t. Whatcom, and possiblv Jeffer
son. Counties. Jefferson has elected a
delegation to the Turoma convention to
be held August 3, which, it is said, will
recognize both the Wilson and Burke
factions without discrimination. The
county is likely to oppose Poindexter
on account of his trend toward Plnchot
conservation. Both Jefferson and the
adjoining county of Clallam have been
victims of forest reserves ever since
President Cleveland's order setting
aside the major portion of the terrltorv
as a National forest.

Found Dead in Woods.
SEATTLE POLICE ON HUNT
Authorities Undecided IVhether Mrs.
Hannah Reynolds Committed
Suicide or Was Slain
and Then Burned.
SEATTLE, July 24. The finding of the
badly burned body of Mrs. Hannah Rey
nolds in the midst of the smouldering
embers of a funeral pyre this morning
revealed one of the most horrible cases
of suicide or possibly murder that has
been brought to the attention of the King
County authorities.
The body of Mrs. Reynolds, who was
45 years old andi who liveji with her
two sons at 131 Sixteenth avenue, was
found In the woods near Ravenna Park
by a searching party that had been out
all night. The body was found lying face
down in the middle of the smoking rem
nants of what had been a huge bonfire.
All the clothing had been consumed, and
the body was charred almost beyond
recognition.
Coroner Doubts Suicide.
Although all the evidence points to the
theory of self-deatruction. Coroner J. C.
Snvder Wan not uniimlw eatin 3
late today placed the case in the hands
vi me ponce detective bureau and
asked that a thorough investigation be
made. He KAiri that thara -
points that were not satisfactorily clear
and hinted that the woman might have
been murdered and her body thrown on
me uuimre 10 aestroy evidence of the
crime.
The strongest point in favor of the
suicide theory is the fact that Mrs.
Reynolds has suffered from mental de
rangement at different times. Although
she had never become violent or ex
hibited a tendency to barm herself, it is
thought that i mlf-ht i , j.
.... . . . vj rt-JXt..lA
by a sudden fit of insanity and while in
this deranged, state of mind set about to
destroy herself In the horrible manner
Indicated by the finding of the body this
morning.
Search Lasts All Xlght.
Mrs. Reynolds left home early yester
day afternoon and although she was
still absent when her sons returned in the
evening, no thought was given to the
matter until darkness began to fall. Then
her sons became alarmed and a search
ing party was organized. The searchers
scoured the woods without success until
long after daylight this morning when
they came upon the charred remains of
the woman.
Her husband. . iB. Reyn-is, lives
with three other children c- a ranch near

President Xagel Gives
Praise to Payne Tariff.
VANCOUVER, B. C, July 24, (Special.)
On their way to Alaska, where ij; is
understood they are going at the request
of President Taft to investigate and
straighten political conditions In that ter
ritory. United States Attorney-General
Wickersham and Secretary of Commerce
and Labor Nngel arrived here this morn
ing from the East and took up quarters
at once on the steamer Albatross on
which they sail tomorrow morning.
Included in the party were Private Sec
retary to Mr. Nagel, H. A. Stevens; Dr.
W. E. Fischel and J. S. Lionberger, St.
Louis, and Charles Coolridge, Boston, the
last two being nephews of Mr. Nagel.
Although Secretary Nagel. speaking for
"Wickersham, who felt indisposed, would
not admit it and steered around the sub
ject, it is intimated that the Alaskan
political situation needs smoothing out at
once in order that the party leaders can
give their attention to fighting the grow
ing insurgency movement in many of the
states.
Republican Victory Foretold.
Nagel prophesied, however, a Republi
can victory at the Fall elections; praised
the Payne tariff bill as the country's
best revenue producer and -urged the
merchants of British Columbia and the
States to study the industrial conditions
in Latin-America in order that they
might profit from the opening of the
Panama Canal.
The Secretary also had a few words
of high praise to bestow upon the' grow
ing importance of Canada in the com
mercial world and upon Vancouver s pro
gress as a city.
Attorney-General Wickersham and
Secretary Nagel expect to be gone until
September. Their itinerary will include
all the principal points on the Alaska
Coast as far north as Kodlak Island.
At Skagway, Cordova, Valdez and
Seward brief excursions' inland will be
made, but none of them will consume
more than two days' time. Attorney
General Wickersham said that they
could not spare the time to make the
trip over the Valdez trail to Fairbanks.
Portland Will Be Visited.
Attorney-General Wickersham de
clined to be drawn into any sort of
discussion concerning the tour.
"Tou know Alaska is looming large
nowadays and we wish to be familiar
with the country and its resources,"
was all he would say.
Upon their return to the United
States they will stop at Seattle and
will be guests of Secretary of the In
terior Richard A. Ballinger. They will
visit Portland before returning to
Washington.

DRAW 260 FEET IN LENGTH
Albany Has Longest Wooden Span
In Whole World. -
ALBANY, Or., July 24. (Special.)
Work has begun on the construction of
X
a new draw span in the big Corvallis &
Eastern Railroad bridge spanning the
Willamette River at this city. A draw
260 feet long will be built, replacing one
of similar length and a new pivot pier
constructed beneath it. This pier will be
22 feet in diameter at the top and 34
feet in diameter at the bed of the river.
This 260-foot draw is the longest
wooden draw span in the world. Local
railroad men say there is no other draw
in existence so long as this one which is
not constructed of steel. For many years
the local bridge has held this record. The
next longest wooden draw span, which
was 240 feet in length, was on a wagon
bridge in California, which has recently
been replaced with steel, -so now the local
bridge has by far the longest swing
ing wooden span on earth.
It is said conditions in the river here
are such that as strong a draw can be
built of wood as of steel. The bridge
and the long trestle which adjoins it on
the north end are built entirely of wood
and the structure has stood in good con
dition for many years.
It will require about two months to
complete the new pivot pier and draw
span and the work will cost about 16.
000. The work Is under the direction of
John H. Stevens, of Albany, division en
gineer for the Corvallis & Eastern road.
CHAUTAUQUA IS ENDED
ATTENDANCE OX IiAST DAY AT
GLADSTONE BREAKS RECORD.
Dr. Fletcher Homan, President of
Willamette University, Dellv- .
ers Final Sermon.
CHAUTAUQUA GROUNDS. Gladstone
Park. July 24. (Special.) With an
other record Sunday attendance, the
17th annual session of the Willamette
pValley Chautauqua Assembly came to a
close tonight with a sermon by Dr.
Fletcher Homan, president of the
Willamette University. The feature of
this afternoon's programme was . a
sacred concert, under the direction of
Irving M. Glen, of the University of
Oregon, who has had charge of the
music during the session. The solos by
Mr. Glen were especially pleasing.
Dr. D. F. Fox, a noted Congregational
divine of Pasadena, CaL, preached this'
afternoon's sermon. He is one of the
finest historical lecturers ever heard on
the Chautauqua platform here. Devo
tional exercises and Sunday school,
under the direction of State Superin
tendent R. R. Steele, occupied the
morning hours in the auditorium.
The attractiveness of Gladstone Park
as a camping place was evidenced this
session as never before. Every tent
was secured prior to the opening of the
assembly and the resources of the
Chautauqua management were tr.xed to
the- utmost to provide accommodations
for the campers, who came here from
all parts of Oregon, one family coming
from far away Prlnevllle, in Crook:
County. The absolute restfulness
among the trees is peaceful, and the
accommodations provided by the X. W.
C. A. delicatessen and the stores on the
grounds made the life of the campers
truly ideal.
The 17th annual session has been
one of the most successful in the his
tory of the "Willamette Valley Chau
tauqua. The programmes have been
entertaining and instructive through
out and the Chautauqua officials are
gratified at the unusual attendance,
which insured the financial success of
the session.
APPLE IS APPETITE-WINNER
Schoolteacher Sinks Fortune to Slake
Fortune.
DAYTON. Wash., July 24. (Special.)
Appetites often destroy fortunes, but sel
dom make them. Yet, to an insatiate
liking for good, mellow, Juicy apples.
Professor J. L. Dumas, ex-president of
the Washington Horticultural Society,
who recently sold a Pomona, apple or
chard three miles west of Dayton for
J150.000 after he had profited himself
$125,000 from the sale of apples grown on
the tract, owes his success. Professor
Dumas admitted today that success
came through his appetite, when he said:
"While I was teaching school In the
Hawaiian Islands in the early 90's, I fre
fluently had a craving for apples such as
had often eaten in the JNorthwest be
fore I went to Honolulu. I often searched
through markets of the tropical city, but
the best apples I could find were always
diminutive, shrivelled, flavorless speci
mens. They sold for as high as five cents
apiece. This led me to think that surely
there was not enough apples grown to
supply the world's demand, and so I re
turned to Dayton and purchased 140
acres near Dayton for $3000, which repre
sented my earnings from 20 years of
school teaching. My appetite was really
my making."

Oronogo, Mo. "I was simply a ner
vous wreck. I could not walk across
the floor without
my heart flutterincr
and I could not even
receive a letter.
Every month I had
such a bearing down
sensation, as it the
lower narts would
fall out. Lydia E.
Pinkham's vegeta
ble Compound has
done my nerves a
great aeai or gooa
and has also relieved
the bearing down. I recommended it
to some friends and two of them have
been greatly benefited by it." Mrs.
Mat, McKnight, Oronogo, Mo.
Another Oratef ul Woman. '
St. Louis, Mo. "I was bothered
terribly with a female weakness and
tiad backache, bearing down pains and
pains in lower parts. I began taking
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound regularly and used the Sanative
Wash and now I have no more troubles
that way." Mrs. Al. Herzoo, 6722
Prescott Ave., St. Ijouis, Mo.
Because your case is a difficult one,
doctors having done you no good,
do not continue to suffer without
giving JLydia E. Pinkham's "Vegetable
Compound a trial. It surely has cured
many cases of female ills, such as in
flammation, ulceration, displacements,
fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic
pains, backache, that bearing-down
feeling, indigestion, dizziness, and ner
vous prostration. It cost3 but a trifle
to try it, and- the result is worth mil
lions to many suffering women.
