HEAVY EXPENSE IS BAR
Senator Poindexter of 'Washing
toil Making Unmistakable
Headway on Tour.
PUGET SOUND BUREAU. Seattle.
Aug. 17. If Mrs. Frances C. Axtell
of Bellingham should decide to
withdraw from the contest for the
republican senatorial nomination
there would toe no shock of surprise
to those who are impartially observing-
the drift of political senti
ment in this state. The intimation
of such a possibility comes from
many sources, some of them quite
close to Mrs. Axtell. Two courses
have been suggested, either that
Mrs. Axtell withdraw definitely in
favor of some other anti-Poindex-ter
candidate, or that plans for an
active campaign in her behalf be
abandoned, leaving iier name on the
ballot to be voted for by those who
will.
It is by no means certain that
either course will be. taken. Mrs.
Axtell may continue in the contest
and make as active a campaign as
may be possible under somewhat
adverse conditions. It is no secret
at any of the political headquarters,
least of all at the Axtell headquar
ters, that the signs thus far have
not been propitious.
Even the most vigorous critics of
Senator Newberry and of the
methods alleged to have been em
ployed to elect him realize that
some money is needed to make a
senatorial campaign. Money must
be spent if headquarters are to be
maintained, if campaign "litera
ture" is to be printed and put into
circulation, if the candidate and
supporting "workers" are to get
around the state and meet the vot
ers.
Campaigns Are Expensive.
It may be a sad commentary on
the American system of politics,
but anyone charged with responsi
bility, for the conduct of a direct
primary campaign of state-wide
dimensions regularly runs up
against the stubborn fact that it is
more or less expensive.
Mrs. Axtell and her supporters
planned a campaign chest to be
filled by dollar contributions. It
has never been positively stated
that they would not accept more
than a dollar, but it has been said
that they would not ask for more
than that from any one person. It
is now frankly admitted that the
dollars have not been flowing in,
either singly or in bunches, in suffi
cient volume to meet the reasonable
requirements of those in charge. It
is also admitted that the failure of
Mrs. Axtell's candidacy to arouse
any particular enthusiasm has been
discouraging to expectations of
support either by dollars or by
votes. ...

Ill valH Working Hard.
The campaign has not progressed
far enough to say that there is no
hope of revival of interest in Mrs.
Axtell's candidacy; but the days
are going swiftly by and nothing
( has yet happened that would fix
her in place as one of the leading
contenders for the nomination.
Senator Poindexter has been mak
ing unmistakable headway in the
course of his personal tour of the
state; so has Judge Austin E- Grif
fiths. ' Starting later than the
others. Colonel George B. Lamping
hasn't gone far enough to develop
full speed ahead; but his. past
record as a campaigner gives assur
ance that he is not standing still.
Mrs. Axtell, herself, is in eastern
Washington. Mrs. C. Arthur Var
ney of Yakima, her campaign man
ager, is also on the east side.
George Mastin, chairman of the
conference of progressive political
action, the coterie that brought
Mrs. Axtell into the contest, has
been around the state and is said
to be much disappointed in the out
look. Ben C. Marsh, who came
from the east to help defeat Senator
Poindexter, and William-M. Short
president of the State Federation of
Labor, who has Just challenged
Poindexter to public debatt on. the
issues of the campaign, are said
now to have grave doubts of Mrs.
Axtell's ability to make the grade.
A general conference of all those
most intimately concerned will
probably take place at the Axtell
headquarters on the return of Mrs.
Axtell from eastern Washington,
about the end of this week. Out of
that conference some announce
ment may be expected as to - the
further plans of the participants.
ORCHARDIST FOUND DEAD
Preparations for Hunt Are Fata
to Odell District Rancher.
HOOD RIVER, Or., Aug. 17.
(Special.) Preparations for a hunl
were fatal TiiesHav tn Tr it n
Hull, prominent orchardist of the
Odell district, whose body, with a
huge gunshot wound in his -breast,
was found that night in his garage.
Dr. Hull had been in ill health
lately, having suffered from faint
ing spells. Friends had recently
prevailed on him to join them Sun
day for a hunting trip, anticipating
that the outdoor recreation would
benefit his health.
The position of Dr. Hull's body,
according to Coroner Sifton. who
made an investigation, indicated
I hat he had been seized with a
fainting spell and had placed the
sun. muzzle up. in front of him to
steady himself.
Dr. Hull was 46 years old and a
natiye of Wisconsin, where he for
merly was a dentist. He-is survived
by his widow and two daughters,
Dorothy and Gladys Hull.

Joseph A. Tatro Charge? Con
spiracy to Prevent High Offi
cials From Being Caught.
(By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.)
CHICAGO. Aug. 17. Joseph A.
Tatro, special agent of the internal
revenue service in Chicago, an
nounced last night that he had been
summarily dismissed from the gov
ernment service on the ground that
he had made unwarranted and un
true charges that United States
Senator McKinley and his- secretary,
Chester Willoughby, were involved
in the fraudulent removal of 1800
cases of whisky, valued at 153,000,
from the Central cold storage ware
house last April.
Mr. Tatro denies tjiat he made
the charges and denies that he has
any charges to bring against the
senator and his secretary. He de
clares the whole thing is a con
spiracy in the federal building to
get him out of the way. He in
sinuates that -if he were permitted
to continue his investigations he
might actually obtain evidence that
would involve "some of the persons
I am charged with having named."
The story centers around a per
mit signed by Charles A. Gregory,
prohibition officer in charge of the
Illinois district, to remove 1800
cases of whisky, given to the Yon
dorf Drug & Chemical company, a
fictitious concern. It has all the
earmarks of a Diamond Dick scare
head, with mysterious agents bob
bing up, a gun play, stolen records
and secret conferences.
Things have been happening
swiftly to Mr. Tatro since he began
this dangerous investigation. On
August 3 he received a letter detail-
ng the charges against him and de
manding an explanation. On August
9 he was discharged from the in
ternal revenue service to take ef
fect last Tuesday. Today he thought
he was through, but when he told
his troubles to Hinton G. Clabaugh,
special investigator, in the federal
building. Mr. Clabaugh gave him a
new job on his payroll.
Mr. Clabaugh confirmed Tatro s
atement concerning his re-em
ployment.

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Aug. 17.
Secretary Weeks said yesterday
that more than 300 army off'eers
had been listed for. separation from
the service auring the last month,
through operations of the board of
general officers to carry out the in
junction of congress that the officer
corps be slasnect to a coia- oi ii,-
000 by January l. In addition, aur
ing the period the board has been in
session more than 100 officers have
been retired, resigned or otherwise
left the active list, representing the
reduction in personnel due to nat
ural causes.
Even with this reduction, actual
or prospective, during the first
month of the super-plucking board's
operations, however, there remains a
necessity of speeding up action if
the cut requested by congress is to
be made effective by December 15,
the date set by the war department
I for the board to complete its work
of elimination. In a letter to Chair
man Anthony of the house approp
riations military sub-committee,
General Pershing has pointed out
that the minimum number of of-

and Secretary Weeks declared that
if steps were to be taken to make
the law conform to Mr. Anthony's
estimate, 't should be done at once.
