Pierce County Takes First
Step for Convention.
SATURDAY IS TIME . SET
W GT U S
miing Democratic Committee Calls
r Executive Meeting Today.
XATLallng Precincts Difficult. '
SEATTLE. Wash.. April 5. (Spe
cial.) Instructions issued by- the re
publican county committee to. pre
cinct committeemen to select and give
publicity to the locations for their
caucuses on Saturday and a call for
a meeting of the executive committee
of the King county democratic com
mittee to be held at 4 o'clock Tues
day, were the eteps taken today, by
the two old party organizations to
emphasize the approach of the state
conventions.
The republican organization is endeavoring-
to obtain returns from
every precinct in the county by April
6 so publicity can be given to the
meeting places for Saturday's cau
cuses. Notices of these gatherings
will be posted in the precincts.
Tank la Difficult One.
The task of gathering the locations
from 272 city precincts is a difficult
one and may not be wholly success
ful, although ward captains have been
instructed to co-operate with the pre
cinct committeemen in arranging
publicity. In the city, the caucuses
will be held between 8 and 8:30 P. M.;
in the country between 2 and 4 P. M.
Delegates to attend the county con
vention on April 17 will be elected.
County Chairman Fullen in calling
his democratic organization together
tomorrow afternoon will urge that
the county convention be summoned
for either April 24 or May 1. He
will call attention to the fact that
King county is entitled to 268 dele
gates to attend the democratic state
convention in Spokane on May 17 and
will announce that the Northern Pa
cific will run a special train for the
King county democrats if 125 or
more delegates will agree to mike
the journey over the road.
Cars to Be Side-Tracked.
Cars will be side-tracked in Sdo-
'kane and the King county colony will
be enabled to live aboard its train
while in the convention city.
In addition to the delegates and
alternates sent to the republican na
tional convention in Chicago on June
8, it was said that scores of party
workers would go east to watch the
big show.
Many of the visitors of both parties
prefer to look on rather than attend
all the sessions of the convention and
the numerous caucuses that the dele
gations will hold, but there is a pretty
fight on for official positions.
Like the democrats, the republicans
have 14 delegates and a like number
of alternates from the state.
The republican state organization
. has opened permanent headquarters
in Spokane and Tacoma. A. W. Davis
of Spokane, vice-chairman of the re
publican state committee, is in gen
eral charge of east side work with
Frank A. Potter in charge of the Spo
kane headquarters.
The Tacoma headquarters are in
charge of A. L. Swindell, who has
offices in the National. Realty build
ing. The corps of party organizers,
which has been at work for several
weeks, will continue to work in the
Seattle headquarters of the state organization.

WARRENTON FAVORS LEVY
People Practically Unanimous for
Astoria as Xaval Base.
WARRENTON, Or., April E. (Spe
cial.) That the city of Warrenton is
practically unanimous in favor of the
Clatsop county court buying the
Tongue Point site and donating it to
the government for a naval base at
the port of Astoria became known
today when O. Clifford Barlow cir
culated a petition here calling on the
court to hold a special election on the
day of the May primaries for the peo
ple to vote authority to levy a special
tax, not to exceed $100,000. on all of
Clatsop county, which is the Port of
Astoria, to defray cost of the site.

the petition equaled 80 per cent of
the total vote east last general elec
tion. That the signers will have a
strong influence in securing a favor
able vote from the non-taxpayers
and the many new voters who have
recently moved here ' is a foregone
conclusion.
Story Printed in Portland Paper
Alleging Slight by British
Ruler Said to Be False.
Through the Japanese consulate
yesterday came a denial of certain
purported cable reports published in
a Portland newspaper and in eastern
papers concerning alleged statements
of King George of England about the
peace conference at Versailles. The
local consul has been Instructed by
his home government to "say that the
statements made in this connection
are entirely erroneous and to deny in
toto the truth of the same.
The story, which was printed in the
Portland Telegram, purported to be
inside gossip in Tokio's diplomatic
circles and stated that what the British
sovereign had said in confidence to
Marquis Saionji and Baron Makino,
two of Japan's peace delegates, had
resulted in the hasty dissolution of
the Japanese diet recently. The sub
ject of the conversation at Bucking
ham palace was said to have been
Woodrow Wilson and King George's
remarks were supposed to have been
far from complimentary to the presi
The article published stated: "To
them, it was said, he confided his pri
vate opinion that there was altogether
too much of a desire in the White
House to rule the world's roost and
quite too keen a desire to have Eu
rope remodeled along the li,nea of a
democratic marching club." It also
went on to say that the report,
whether true or otherwise, was print
ed in a recent issue of the Gaiko Iho.
an official publication issued by the
foreign office, and seemed pleasing
to many in Japan.
Hell Enlists in Army.
HOQU1AM. Wash., April 5. (Spe
cial.) When the army recruiting ser
geant here asked a husky applicant
for his name, his visitant said, O.
Hell." Then he hastened to explain.
He said his full name was Otto Hell
and he came from Bavaria. But the
name of "O. Hell" stuck to him ever
eince he left Ellis Island. He asked
that the nickname be removed if he
joined, as he wanted to be called
"Private Hell" or "Otto Hell," instead
of being known all the time as "O.
Hell. The recruiting sergeant was
sympathetic, but thought it couldn't
do done.

this is the second slide of the winter.
The county has a crew at the place
clearing the road.
As the west side highway between
Kelso and Castle Rock was closed a
short time ago by cutting of the Cow
litz river at the Hagle place, this
slide stops temporarily all travel be
tween Kelso and Castle Rock. North
of Castle Rock the condition of the
highway is also very bad. Travel
must go over the West side road, and
practically all machines must be
towed through one bad mud hole.

You'll Feel "Just Right
in a Beau Brummel Shirt
Often the difference between a satisfying day and the onewhen
nothing goes right is just a matter of comfort.
A misfit collar band, or a tight sleeve may seem a small matter. '
but there's no comfort with them, and that means a drag on thcj
day's work.

You can strip off your coat and go to work, knowing that in a Beau Brurnmel Shirt you
look right and will feci right.

holes, across the shoulders and chest and at the elbows. The neck is cut at the proper
slope (I), so that your collar never pokes you under the chin; cuffsare neatfitting and com
fortable (6) sleeves just the length you want. ,
And then, the correctly cut yoke (2) gives the tailored appearance you like, and the five
button center pleat (5) keeps the front always smooth and dressy.

find them in materials you like and in patterns that
suit your taste.
