Wood Discusses Offer of S. A. Perkins to Yield Flacc on Delegation to Chairman Hart- son to Promote Good Will. SEATTLE, Wash., May 11. (Special.) Although members of the "Washing ton delegation to the Republican Na tional Convention have individual pref erences for President, no delegate will permit his personal choice to stand in way of harmonious action. There sincere desire upon the part of Week-End Special for Boys! the is ; rvery delegate to do the thing most likely to promote harmony with the T'rogressi ves and to advance the in terests of the Republican party and the Hate. This was made plain at the con ference of the delegation today in tate Chairman llartson's office and at the luncheon given by James A. AVood. secretary of the State Central Com mittee, at the Hotel Butler at noon in honor of State Chairman Hartson, one f the delegates at large. Tribute Paid Mr. Hartnan. "Mr. Wood spoke of the earnest de Fire of National Committeeman S. A. Perkins, publisher of the Tacoma ledger and News, to preserve good feeling in the convention by yielding his place on the delegation to State Chairman Hartson. It was Mr. Perkins' wish to set a precedent by which the bead of the party organization in this Hate should have a place in the Na tional council of the party. Mr. Perkins, in speaking of the work of the state committee, paid a tribute to Chairman .Hartson. He continued: "I believe that our delegation is the strongest ever sent from this state to a National convention. It will go abso lutely free of pledges and with deter mination to do the best thing for the party." Interext in Mr. Root Discussed. Mr. Perkins then called attention to the increased interest in the candidacy f Elihu Root and of his qualifications for the high office to which his friends would raise him "I agree with Mr. Perkins' estimate of Klihu Root," said Delegate bcott C. lione. editor of the Seattle P. I. "In my opinion, if he should be nominated he would be elected and would be one of cur greatest Presidents." Delegate B. A. Sims, of Port Town Fend, said he was glad of an oppor tunity to correct a prevalent impres sion that he had already pledged htm self to a particular candidate. Perwonal Desire Overruled. "When I was in "Washington last "Winter I was impressed with the can didacy of Senator Weeks," he said. "It eppeared to me then that his chances were good and I wrote a letter to pome f my friends. Since my return I have made no campaign for Senator Weeks. "No delegate or friend ever heard me try to bring somebody over to my be lief. I'm going to Chicago with one Idea, and that is to do the best thing for the party, and I wish to say now that I shall abide by the decision of the majority of the delegation. Those at luncheon were: Millard T. Hartson, K. A. Sims and Scott C. Bone, delegates-at-large; C. D. Bowles and E. C Hughes, delegates from the first dis trict; T. B. Sumner and Howard O. Tay lor. delegates from the second district; Alex Poison and N. J?. Coffman, dele- pates from the third district; A. D. Sloan, delegate from the fourth district: County Chairman W. T. I.aube.

Reconciliation In Desired. As a means of furthering the recon ciliation 01 tne moose and tne regulars there is a movement afoot to have both :o to t hicasro on the same train Politicians believed that two days on the train will bring both delegations to tne same choice when they reach nicago. McBride supporters in this connection claim an overwhelming sentiment of the .Moose for the nomination of ex-Gover nor Henry McBride as the Republican candidate for Governor. On the Republican side E. A. Sims, of Port Townsend, T. B. Sumner, of Ever it, ana j. r. juna, or Spokane, are said to have kindly feelings for Mc Pride. McBride supporters hope much irom the proposed joint trip to Chicasro. The Washington delegation re-elected fv A. Perkins, of Tacoma, Nationa committeeman on motion of Scott C. Pone, of Seattle, seconded by T. B. Sumner, of Kverett. The .question of transportation wa left to Delegate Sims.

TIRED LOOKING WOMEN Pome -women always -wear a 'worn, lirei look. It ia the. outward sign of nervousness, neurasthenia perhaps, with ita characteristic symptoms of worry, headaches and sleeplessness. Overwork, grief, undue excitement, the late hours and nervous strain of a ftrenuous social season, lack of out-of-door exercise, any or all of these may te responsible for the trouble but the most common cause at this season of the year is the grip. Whatever the cause, if you feel the need of more strength try the great non-alcoholic tonic; Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. As the nerves get their nourish ment from the blood the treatment must be directed toward building up the blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills act directly on the blood and with proper regulation of the diet have proved of the greatest benefit in many cases of neurasthenia. A tendency to anemia, or bloodlesaness, shown by most neu rasthenic patients, is also corrected by these tonic pills. Your own druggist sells Dr. Williams- Pink Pills or they will be sent by mail on receipt of price, f 0 renta per box ; six boxes $2.60.

Supreme Court Justice Hotchkiss heard argument today on an application by Richard Barry, the writer. lor an in junction restraining the Mutual Film Company from producing: a film calle "The Secret of the Submarine, which Barry wrote ami which was sold to the Mutual Company by Russell E. Smith, former scenario editor for th Equitable Motion Picture Corporation. Barry also asks J100.O00 damages. Barry alleges that he waa injured because the Mutual Company adver tised the film extensively without men ttoning his name in connection with it. although it was parallel to the Birth of a Nation" in Tnterest. Counsel for Smith, who is named as one of the defendants in the case, ad' mitted to the court that the scenarl was written by Barry, but said that Barry had authorised SmKh to sell it for $1000.

Committee Is Appointed to Investi gate Montavllla Sewer Records, but Knginecrs' Iteport Is Not Condemned. It is the hope of the Portland Labor Council to have appear before that body next Thursday night Senator Albert M. Cummins, Republican candi date for President. As Senator Cum mins is campaigning in the state and as he carries a card in the carpenters' nternational council last night in- tructed the secretary to issue Sena tor Cummins a special invitation. An effort- was made at the meeting of the council last night to urge upon the members of labor organizations hroughout the state the justice of writing in the name of Senator La Fol ette on the ballot at the coming prl maries, but the effort was unsuccess- ul. It was not the wish of the coun il to give indorsement to any Presi dential candidate. Both Mr. Cummins and Mr. IaFof fette received unofficial indorsement from the members of the council for their work in connection with labor legisla tion in the United States Senate. Will- am MacKenzie favored Mr. LaFollette for his effort in getting the seamen's bill through Congress, and he declared that the refusal of Mr. Cummins to in dorse Louis Brandeis as a member of the Supreme Court of the United States more than offset all his work in behalf of organized labor. A committee was appointed by act-ng-Chairman Rosen to investigate the records at the City Hall affecting the Montavilla sewer. It was the sense of the meeting that something should be done to protect "those men who had been discharged for testifying as to existing conditions." Resolutions were offered condemning the report of the board of engineers sent out by the city to make an investigation of the sewer, but the resolutions were not accepted by the council. It was the general opinion that to condemn the expert opinion of those engineers would be ridiculous. The committee named to make the investigations and report at the next meeting is composed of Wil liam MacKenzie, Pete Anderson and James Irving.

For years he took tickets at the door of the old Third-Street Theater, later being promoted to treasurer and ticket seller. He served in this capacity at Cordray's Washington-Street Theater, and when Cordray went to the Oaks Maurice Smith went to work for Sulli van & Consldine houses and later for the Orpheum. He remained at his post at the local Orpheum up to the closing of its season, early this month. He died yesterday morning at Nes beth Sanitarium, of diabetes. The body is at Holman's parlors. So far as is known, he leaves no relatives. Maurice B. Smith was his name, and early in his theatrical career he ex tended the initial B. into Barrymore for the distinguished actor. Maurice Barrymore. He was a Mason and an authority on Masonic law. Also he was a member of the Theatrical Mechanics Association. The funeral hour has been set for Mon day morning at 10:30 from Holman's undertaking parlors. FLYING BOAT WRECKED HKiK, RECORD - MAKIX: HYDRO. AEROPLANE FALLS INTO RIVER.
