COYLE LEADING FIELD
Summers Well Ahead of Brown for
Representative and State Su-
pcrlnlcndcnt Is Xamcd,
SEATTLE. Wash. Sept. IB. The
outstanding feature of the primary
.election Tuesday was the sweeping
Indorsement given by the republican
voters of the state to Wesley L.
Jones, United States senator.
Senator Jones led his nearest oppo
nent by practically a two-to-one vote
in Kin? county and his strength in
the ballot of the state proved even
greater.
He will have a clear majority over
all when the final count is completed.
In the contest for the republican
gubernatorial nomination, Governor
Louis V. Hart has Colonel Roland H.
Hartley in second place. Between
Colonel Hartley and the remaining
candidates for republican governor
ship nomination there Is a wide
margin.
Hart's Lead 5-S57.
Governor Hart's lead was 6857 votes
over Hartley when approximately 75
per cent of the precincts reported to
night. The tabulation showed the
incumbent received 53,731 votes and
Hartley 47.S64 in 1713 precincts out
of 2366 In the state.
Grossly misleading totals showing
Hartley 6000 In the lead opened the
way for much betting on what ap
peared to be a sure thing, with the
result that several thousands of
dolars were wagered on false Infor
mation and after the bets were down
then a later announcement was made
that errors had been discovered In
the earlier compilations and Hart was
leading Hartley.
Hartley was the favorite in King
county, running ahead of Hart by
more than 5000 votes, but the gover
nor developed greater strength
throughout the state and overcame
Hartley's advantage in this county.
Lamping; la Second.
George B. Lamping won second
place in King county, but In the state
at large he dropped back to third
place, lagging well behind the two
leaders. Gellatly and Coman are
Tunning reck and neck for fourth
place, while the vote for Stringer and
ilacEachern was negligible.
In the contest for the nomination
for lieutenant-governor Captain Will
lam J. Coyle of Seattle outdistanced
his four rivals. His home county
gave him a big lead over his nearest
competitor and he received a consist
ently heavy vote throughout the state.
He had a lead of 8797 over his near
est opponent for the republican nomi
nation for lieutenant-governor when
1447 precincts had been reported.
Xo Republican Content.
There was no contest In the repub
lican primaries for the nominations
for secretary of state or for state
Viand commissioner. There were three
republican aspirants for state treas
urer and Cliford L. Babcock of Port
Angeles won the nomination by a safe
margin over John R. Orton and John
L. Murray.
Babcock was 7196 ahead of Murray
and Orton was trailing Murray.
In the case of the other state offices
the Incumbents were easy victors. H.
O. Fishback, seeking rcnomination for
state Insurance commissioner, ran
ahead of his opponent. Fishback had
45.582 and Dwyer 36,268 from 1063 pre
cincts. Clnnnen W'ina Easily.
State Auditor C. W. Clausen easily
defeated George A- Bundy, Clausen re
ceiving 28.522 to 13,876 for Bundy In
614 precincts.
Likewise L. L. Thompson, state attorney-general,
was renominated with
plenty of votes to spare, getting 53,
S78 to 28,872 for Hunt inll23 pre
cincts. "
Mrs. Josephine Corliss Preston, State
Superintendent of Schools, also had
an easy race, winning over Mrs. Eli
zabeth Jones In 1092 precincts, 54.475
to 33.962.
There were contests in three of the
five congressional districts, but the
present representatives appear to
have won renomination in each case.
Miller Walks Away.
In the First district. John F. Miller,
Jlep., ran away from his opponents,
Frank Pierce and H. Alvin Moore.
John w. Summers. Rep., In 221 pre

Prisoner to Be Sentenced on Second
Degree Murder Charge by
Court Monday.
OREGON CITY. Sept. 15. (Special.)
"Guilty as charged in the indict
ment," was the verdict ''of the Jury
who heard the case of Russel Brakes,
charged with murder In the second
degree for killing Harry Dubinsky, a
Portland taxi driver. ;
The Jury was out one hour and 40
minutes and handed In their verdict
without recommendations.
Sentence will be passed Monday
morning, and it is probable that Tom
Garland, Brake's attorney, will ask
for ten days in which to decide on
further action.
The penalty for murder In the sec
ond degree in Oregon is life in the
penitentiary. "
The murder was committed Just a
few days before the new capital pun
ishment law for Oreion went into ef
fect and Brake and George Moore,
who Is now serving a life sentence,
probably would have .been tried for
first-degree murder,- the penalty of
which is capital punishment.
The case of Russel Brake, who was
tried on a charge of murdering Harry
Dubinsky, a Portland taxi 'driver,
went to the Jury at 2:41 Wednesday
afternoon, the third day of the trial.
Only one witness, F. A. Davis', house
detective of the Imperial hotel, was
called Wednesday. Davis testified
that it was the rule of the hotel to
order everyone except guests out at
1 o'clock, and that he was on duty the
night of the murder, but did not re
member seeing Brake. Davis ad
mitted that he was not In the lobby
all the time, and possibly had left
fora period of 20 minutes on different
missions. Garland argued that Satur
day night before Shriners week It
was not likely the lobby would be
practically deserted as Davis alleged.
District Attorney Evans of Portland
argued the case from 9:40 until 10:15
and at 10:30 Garland pleaded his case
until 11:30, when recess was taken.
He admitted that his alibi might be
weak on account of his client being
refused an attorney for several days,
but argued that the testimony given
during the trial was not sufficient to
convict.
District Attorney Hedges said that
the evidence brought out in the cast
should prove beyond a doubt that
Brake was guilty, and that he had
absolutely failed to prove an alibi.
PEACE TREATY RATIFIED
Jngo-Slavs Act on Signing Docu
ment With Bulgaria.
- BELGRADE, Sept. 15. The Jugo

slavia failed to sign, objecting to
several of the clauses, notably those
dealing with racial minorities. Agree
ment has been reached and both na
tions later signed the treaty.
MAN BY.THE NAME OF HARDING
FOUR YEARS.
Congressional Fight Bitter, but In
cumbent Leads in All Sec
tions of District. "
SPOKANE,' Wash.. Sept. 15. (Spe
cial.) In one of the most bitterly
contested primary fights since the
5th congressional district was cre
ated, J. Stanley Webster, Incumbent,
Is leading his opponent, Thomas
Corkery, by approximately 6000 votes
in the race for the republican nom
ination for , representative in con
gress, according to returns received
up to 7 o'clock tonight.
Webster carried every one of the
eight counties in the distrtct, the
totals at latest reports standing at
15,991 for the Spokane representative
to 11,103 for his opponent, and scat
tering returns from small outlying
districts, it is believed, will add to
this lead.
Particular Interest attached to the
race between Webster and Corkery,
in that the latter was supported by
the non-partisan league and many
labor organizations, especially the
railway brotherhoods, who were bit
terly . oppo3ed to Webster because of
his stand on the anti-strike clause
of the Esch-Cummins railway bilL
In Spokane, the stronghold' of or
ganized labor in the district, due to
the fact that the division shops and
terminals of five transcontinental
railway systems are located here.
Webster's majority will be approxi
mately 750, and in the agricultural
and fruit growing regions, where it
tm believed the non-partisans would
poll a heavy vote and where it was
openly stated that they Intended to
endeavor to steal the republican pri
maries, his lead- is virtually two to
one.

nel will receive M. Millerand and in
form him of his decision to deliver a
presidential message with his letter

GOOD FOOD LESSENS WOES
Miss Mahonry Advises Wives to
Eliminate Corner Delicatessen.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 15. If fewer
wives depended upon the "corner
delicatessen store" and "ready cooked
.tin can food" there would be fewer
broken homes in this country. Miss
Agnes V. Mahoney of the industrial
survey and research bureau of Wash
ington declared In an address today
before the National ' Conference of
Catholic charities.
"It is a well-known fact," Miss
Mahoney said, "that a better knowl
edge on the part of housekeepers of
the value and importance of cleanli
ness and order would go far in less
ening many, of the causes that are
responsible for broken homes. If
wives would take the trouble of pre
paring wholesome and appetizing
meals for their husbands there would
be a great many more happy homes."
