Negotiations Looking; to Extension SUV HOSTAGES SEIZED Tntil War Reaction Passes Reported in Progress. ... J; V . ((Porfand) ) SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 25. (Spe cial.) With the repubficans likely to go into the next primary campaign with a flock of west side candidates for the gubernatorial nomination and the democrats not even speculating about the availability of anybody who lives in eastern Washington, poli ticians are calling attention to the fact that geographical lines cut Very little figure in the fight; for first place on me iicKeu In the coming gubernatorial fight it is predicted by those politicians who have business which carries them up and down the state that issues and the man will loom much larger than the question of which side of the Cas cades happens to afford an abiding place for a candidate. This is especially true in view of the fact that the politicians cannot blame WAR. OVER ADRIATIC SITUA TION APPEARS IMMINENT. Prompt Interference by Allies Is Deemed Necessary if Hostil ities Are to Be Averted. BELGRADE. Serbia, Nov. 25. Two prominent Jugo-Slavs have been ar rested and held as hostages by the Italian forces of occupation in Dal matian according to advices received from Sebenico, 30 miles southeast of Zara. The advices add that Sebanico is taking measures to guard against a descent of D'Annunzio's army. GENEVA. Monday. Nov. 24. Tele grams received by the Serbian bureau at Hprnp from Relcrra.de. Zara and their tickets under the direct Priraa5jL'SDalato convey the impression that system 'Thus far there has been no candi date suggested for gubernatorial nom ination who is not known throughout the state and whose public record is not pretty well understood. At the same time a very large percentage of the voters know . great deal about the prospective candidates but could not tell, off-hand, where they reside. Kant Side ot United. The campaigns of each probably will be directed from Seattle and Spokane, in any event, and this sort of organization would tend to over shadow the location of a candidate's voting precinct. Of. recent years eastern Washington has raised no sectional issue that has been strong enough to unite the peo ple of that section of the state. For that matter, the east side did not Unite even when the an ti-railroad ifsue overshadowed all other politi cal considerations. There would never have been any regulative railroad legislation had the issue depended upon the east side, for if one wants to go back to the McGraw administration, it was Mc Gra w himself who jammed through the Anderson freight-rate bill. In the first Rogers administration the fusion organization between demo crats, populists and silver republicans was hopelessly entangled, and in the second Rogers administration the anti-railroad fight was led by- Lieutenant-Governor Henry McBride as present, and Jater as acting gov ernor, and Harold Preston, a King county senator, with W. W. Tolman, a Spokane democratic senator, ranking third in the fight. Kalrchlld la Lucky. Finally, when a railroad commis sion was provided, the man who led the fight was Harry Fairchild. of Bellingham. That Fairchild made his fight when the railroads had grown weary of the eternal squabble was a bit of luck for him and in no wise detracts frpm the fact that the east ide finally got its legislation through western Washington leadership. Facetious politicians summarize the situation by declaring that when the east side enters into politics it spe cializes on the United States senators rather than governors. Of the nine men sent to the United States senate six were elected from eastern Wash ington. The only three from the west side were Watson C. Squire of King, Addison G. Foster of Pierce and Sam uel H. Piles of King, while the east side contributed John B. Allen of Walla Walla, John L. Wilson of Spo kane, George Turner of Spokane, Levi Ankeny of Walla Walla, W. L. Jones of Yakima and Miles Poindexter of Spokane. During two intervals both senators lived in eastern Washington. only prompt interference by.-the allies can prevent war over the Adriatic situation as the Jugo-Slavs are said to have lost patience and to be-ready to fight the Italians.. One newspaper accuses Italy of de siring to blockade Jugo-Slavia's , ex ports and imports and thus "strangle her." Another repeats recent reports that a reign of terror prevails in Zara, that everybody must wear a brassard inscribed "Italy or Death," or be badly treated, and that Slavs are afraid to leave their houses. PARtS, Monday, Nov. 24. The Jugo-siav bureau here says the Jugo slav government has asked its min isters at Paris, London and Wash ington to draw the attention of those governments to the dangerous situa tion arising1 from D'Annunzio raids. ROME, Monday, Nov. 24. Peter A. Jay, American charge d'affaires, had long interview with Premier Nittt today. Neither the premier nor the American embassy would make a statement relative to the subjects discussed, but it was indicated Mr. Jay received a favorable impression from the outline Premier Nitti gave of the. Italian situation. After his talk with Air. Jay, the premier had an hour's audience with King Victor Emmanuel. It seems that the only really pain ful thorn in the side of the govern ment is the Adriatic question and ef forts are being made to gain Ameri can support of proposals looking: to a settlement of this matter. WASHING'OX, Nov. 25. Interest payments on American loans to the allies may be deferred "until the war reaction passes," it was said today at the treasury. Negotiations to this end how are being conducted at the request of the allies, but officials ex plained that the latest advices from the treasury's representatives in Paris did not indicate an early conclusion, American loans to associates in the war aggregate 99.647,000.000 and the interest rate averages 5 per cent. All of the obligations are in the form of short term notes, but it has been pro posed by the allies that they be con verted into long-term paper, which would fall due on dates correspond ing to those on .which American liberty loans mature. Officials said the American govern ment was not seeking the new ar rangement. They explained, how ever, that they felt that "the pres ent chaotic condition in Europe might be bettered if the interest pay ments were funded. Tentative plans would defer these . payments from three to five years, which, it was said, "would allow European conditions to readjust themselves and place the foreign governments' reconstruction programmes well under way." . Albert Rathbone, assistant secre tary of the treasury, is representing the United States in the negotiations at Paris. .Treasury officials said the only instruction given him was that in reaching an agreement the "in terest of the whole world's financial structure' be given through consideration. LONDON, Nov. 25. A plan is under discussion by the British and Ameri can governments under which the payment of interest on advances by Great Britain and the United States to the allies in the course of the war and also on advances by the United States to Great Britain, would be postponed for three years, it was an nounced in the house of commons to day by Austen Chamberlain, chan cellor of the exchequer; ARSON CASE DISMISSED SUPREME COURT THROWS OUT A.
