The helpless machine was towed Into Hermlaton and left. whl!e the oceupants all piled Into the other three. The lights on the Hendrlckson car re fused to work, and In coming down a steep grade near Echo the car suddenly leaped from the road down an embank ment, turning two complete somersaults, strewing mem. women and children along the sldehlll and landing upside down In an Irrigation ditch.

MILLIONS ACRES IN CASE CXI TED STATES A"D GREAT BRITAIX TO ARBITRATE. New Zealand Attorney-General on Way to London In Connection With Old Webster Claim. VAN"COr"VER. R. C, April S. Great Britain and the United states have a it reed to arbitrate the Webster claim. involving ownership of millions of acres In New Zealand. This was an nounced today by Dr. J. O. Flndlay. Attorney-General of New Zealand, who, with Sir Joseph Ward. Premier of the commonwealth, reached here today from the Antipodes, en route to Lon don. The personnel of the board has not yet been settled. If negotiations reach an early conclusion Mr. Flndlay wtll visit Washington on his way boms In July in connection with this historic case. Ths claimants are descendants of Captain J. Webster, an intrepid New Bedford. Mass.. whaler, who operated In the South Seas in ths early 30s, making his headquarters In New Zea land at a period before Great Britain established a governmeat la the islands. Ths claim has been pending before the American State Department for years. The claimants demand compensation for lands which it is maintained were given Captain Webster by various Maori chiefs. These lands after tha captain's death became vested tn the crown and were subsequently occupied by settlers and comprise some of the most fertile areas In New Zealand. Webster, dying In the United Statea. left a will bequeathing bis New Zea land rights to his heirs. The claim has been pressed by ths United States for many years and recently the Im perial government, with the consent of ths New Zealand government, agreed to arbitration. Tna claim will be opposed on ths ground that Great Britain by her early navigators had proclaimed soverelirnty over New Zealand long before a colo nial government was set np there and that in any event any agreement be tween Captain Webster, an American citizen, and Maori chleTs Is not bliVng on the British government- LIABILITIES OVER MILLION Referee at MarshfleJd Investigates Railway Bankruptcy Case.

The evidence Is being taken for both cases st ths same time These are separate from the bankruptcy case of the Coos Ray Rapid Transit Company, of which Major Kinney was also promoter, but the affairs of all three are somewhat confused.

According to ths evidence given here the liabilities against Kinney and the Relt Llns Com pany are more than f 1.000.000.

TACOMA RECALJi IP TODAY Mayor Fawcett Confident That He Will Keep Office. TACOMA. Wash.. April S. (Spedlal.) Ths eve of Tacoma's first recall elec tions finds Mayor Fawcett and ths two candidates against blm. W. W. Seymour snd A. IL Earth, a Socialist, each con ndent of victory at the polls tomor row. Indications tonight ars that ths weather will be good and that one of the largest votes sver polled at a local municipal election will be re corded. Everything points to the elec tlon of Seymour, Welfare League can dldate, by a comfortable majority. Seymour's campaign managers pre dict that he will get 12.S00 votes, that Fawoett will receive 6500 ana warm 200. Mayor Fawcett says he Is going to win by 6000 over Seymour snd Barth. The Socialist candidate managers pre dict that Barth will run slightly shead of Fawcstt and that Seymour will be third, with the vote close enough to compel a second election to decide be tween the two high men. All three candidates have personal workers seeking votes In every ward tonight. Seymour meetings were held In churches In tha West End and North End tonight. The Fawcett forces had a meeting at Fernhlll. tha 15th. precinct of the Third Ward be ing admittedly Fawcett's strongest precinct. Barth had a meeting at Val halla Temple. All four meetings were well attended. Women continued their activity in ths campaign today, although they held no meetings. Their time was devoted to personal work. Prominent women, who own automobiles, are planning to be out all day tomorrow and will do nate thslr cars and their efforts to In dues women voters to go to the polls. Of the 788S women registered among ;3,JS8 voters, campaign managers ex pect that over three-fourths of them will bs at ths polls tomorrow. North End women are almost without excep tion ardent Seymour supporters. In the South End Msyor Fswcett msy get some of the women's rotes snd a heavy vote among worklngmen, although la bor union leaders and tha Railroad Men's Political Club have declared against him. All day the Mayor's office has been thronged with visitors, the majority of them workers in the Mayor's "silent campaign." who were receiving their orders for tonight anl tomorrow. Ths Mayor says hs is confident he will not be recalled. Betting is free, mostly at even money, with more Seymour than Faw cett money In evidence. Some Seymour men are offering two and three to one. It is doubtful If the aggrearate bets will' reach 110.000. Most of it Is going In small amounts of ti to S10 at ths cigar stores. John Novak, an oyster man, posted S2i00 with Joe Dwyer. at the Donnelly, to bet at even money on Fawcett. The bet was snapped up quickly by s prominent lumberman.

The evil effects that follow many dis eases, particularly the grip and wasting diseases as typhoid fever, malaria, scar let fever, pneumonia and the measles, are caused by the had condition in which the blood is left. As a result, the fle?h continues to fall away, the sufferer grows nervous and irritable, and even slight exertion causes short ness of breath. ' These are dangerous symptoms and indicate that the sys tem is in a state, that invites a gen eral decline' or even consumption. " What is needed is a new supply oi rich, red blood to carry health and strength to every part of the body. Such a specific has been found and in hun dreds of cases it has been proved that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have accom plished this result. The cure of Mrs. J. 91. Symonds, of No. 210 South Twenty-arst street, St. Louis, Mo., shows the value of these pills as a tonic in cases where the blood has become thin or impure. She says: "About three years ago I was very ill from an attack of malaria. It left me in a very weak condition and the after-effects were as bad as the disease itself. I was generally run-down, had no strength and was very thin. I had but little appetite and nothing seemed to agree with me but everything I ate caused me distress. My heart was weak and at times I thought it was go ing to stop beating. I also had an at tack of rheumatism. The pains were sharp and were all over me. I was confined to bed for a month at one time. "I became discouraged with the treat ment I was receiving from the doctor and quit taking his medicine. Through a friend I learned of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and began using them right away. They were the first thing that helped and I improved until cured. I leel healthier today than in years and I owe my recovery to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills alone.'' Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or sent by mail, postpaid, on receipt of price, 60 rents per dox; six boxes for2.60, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y. Send today for a book of cures. a Mayor and two Commissioners. The Mayor will draw J1500 a year and the Commissioners $1000 splece, annual ly. At the present time Olympia has a Mayor and seven Councilmen who get no pay for their services. The Clerk and the Treasurer now receive $1500 a year and they would bs re placed by the elected Commissioners. Olympia will probably be the first city in the state to attempt to adopt the commission form of government as outlined by ths Legislature. DALLAS "PROGRESSrVES' WIX J. R.
