Through an agreement reached fol
lowing conference between Harri
son Allen, representing the Pacific
States Telephone Telegraph Company,
and Attorney-dcneral Crawford and
State Treasurer Kay. that company
will pay Into the coffers of the state
approximately IllO.oou for gross earn

111 000 or IU.01'0. but stood pat to
collect the Interest, which is over twice
as much as the penalties. The State
Treasurer's office has not compiled the
exact figures.
This agreement Is a tacit admission
nn the nrt of the telephone company
that the gross earnings act, passed by

by the general tax code of lu7 or the
law creating a State Board of Tax

press will be called upon m ty o

other smaller companies will have to
come forward with a payment oi gro.s

It Is estimated that the decision In
the United States Supreme Court
against the telephone company will
further mean annual taxes from these
companies collectively over tlOO.000.

why President Taft thinks Colonel
Roosevelt should not be nominated."
said William Jennings Bryan In his ad
dress to an audience that packed
Dreamland Pavilion today.
Mr. Bryan was discussing the bitter
fight that Is being waged In the Re
publican party and had Just finished
saying, that the Democrats already have
Roosevelt's Indictment of Taft to use
against the President should he be re
nominated. Mr. Bryan spoke for more than two
hours and reiterated the statements
made In other cities that Iji Follette
Is the true progressive leader in the
Republican party and called on progres
sive Republlcana to turn to the Dem
ocrat party In tho coming campaign.
Bryaa Gaest ff Preaa Clnb.
Mr. Bryan spoke at the First Meth
odist Church tonight under the auspices
of the Young Men's Christian Associa
tion, and later was a guest at the Seat
tle Press Club.
Mr. Bryan made no reference during
the day to the municipal campaign,
which will close Monday night and in
which Georgo F. Cotterlll, single-laxer
and a prominent Democrat, is running
for Mayor on a non-partisan ticket
against Hiram C. Gill.
Mr. Bryan arrived by steamer from
Tacoma shortly before noon. Soon aft.
erward he attended a cafetaria lunch
eon given by the King County Demo
cratic Club. George F. Cotterlll. mu
nicipal ownership candidate for Mayor,
sat at Mr. Bryan's right and was
greeted almost as noisily as was Mr.
Bryan.
The latter made a brief address, urg
ing the Democrats to organize thor
oughly, for the events of the past few
days had made it evident that a warm
National campaign was at hand. A re
port had been widely circulated that
Mr. Bryan's visit to Seattle was for
the purpose of taking part In the cam
paign for Cotterlll, but this was not so.
Sugar Bill Is Approved.
Mr. Bryan expressed vigorously his
entire approval of the Income tax and
free sugar bills Indorsed by the House
Democratic caucus. He said:
"I am in favor of the Income-tax
bill and am very glad the Democrats
have Introduced it. Mr. Taft said In
190S, In opposing an Income-tax amend
ment, that an Income tax could be se
cured by statute whenever the people
wanted It. I am satisfied they want It
and am glad Congress has decided to
give It to them. It will prove one of
the most popular acts of this Demo
crats Congress.
"I am also In favor of the free-sugar
bill. Taking the tax off of sugar and
putting It on an. income reduces the
burden on consumption. .-A tax on
sugar taxes people, not In proportion
to wealth or Income, but In proportion
to the amount of sugar they consume.
All taxes on consumption overburden
the poor man and underburden the rich,
and a tax on sugar Is especially open
to this objection. A por man with a
large family probably consumes more
sugsr than a rich man with a small
family. So large a proportion of our
Federal revenues Is derived from taxes
on consumption that we ought to wel
come any step toward equalisation of
this burden."

I plans go through the Governors of the

and select sites for the respective state
buildings, thereby securing the ad
vantage of having them grouped so
that the greatest benefit can be gained
by the Northwest as a whole.
Governor Hawley, sponsor for the
movement, when Interviewed today,
gave his views as follows:
"I have received a telegram from
President Moore, of the exposition, in
forming me that on March 14 the man
agement of the Panama-Pacific Expo
sition would be ready to receive dele
gations from the various states ana
permit the selection of sites for the
states' exposition buildings. I had
hoped that this could be attended to
before, as it makes it somewhat dif
ficult for me to bo in San Francisco at
that time. Governor West of Oregon
Intends. I understand, pfomptly to
make the selection of a site for that
state. I have been in correspondence
with a number of Governors who have
a similar duty to perform and hope that
four or five of them with the commis
sions from their states would be there
at the same time. I had a telegram
from Governor Harmon yesterday In
which he states that he cannot be in
San Francisco before the latter part of
March. I had made particular engage
ments with Governor Harmon to be
one of a number of Governors who
would be on band as soon as the
grounds were open for the selection of
sites. I expect to hear from him and
from other Governors with whom I
have been In correspondence In the
course of the next week and ascertain
positively with reference to their views
on the matter.
I am anxious that a proper site be
selected for the Idaho building. We
should be liberal in our expenditure In
this matter, as it unquestionably will
be the greatest exposition the world
has ever seen, and will do a vast
amount of good for the Western States.
Idaho should be well tn the front, and
we can make st showing there by the
proper expenditure of money."
Governor Hawley has appointed the
members of the Idaho commission to
select the site for the Idaho building.
They are: C. L. Hettman. of Rath drum,
chairman of the Republican state cen
tral committee; John Nugent, of Boise,
chairman of the Democratic state cen
tral committee: Judge Edgar Bryan,
of Caldwell: Lieutenant-Governor Lew
is IL Sweetser. of Burley. and A. T. At
water. of Meridian. The plan to run a
special train to San Francisco contain
ing the Governors of the Northwestern
and some of the Western states, to
gether with the commissions selected
from those states, is meeting with ap
proval, and if ail of the Governors can
go at the same ttme, the special will
make the trip.

MEN THREATEN LYNCHING
Former Husband of Runaway
Spouse Quarrels With Rival at
Timber Camp and Receive
Four Bullets in Body.
RAYMOND, Wash., March 2. (Spe
cial.) As a sequel to the elopement 18
months ago of Therman Nestor with the
wife of Fred Bohmer, the two men
quarreled last night at a timber camp
on Mill Creek and Nestor shot Bohmer
four times e.ith a. 38-callber revolver.
Nestor was overpowered by the other
employes of the timber company and
given a severe beating by the infuriated
men, narrowly escaping lynching. Boh
mer, who Is an engineer, was brought
to the Raymond general hospital, where
his wounds were probed and the bullets
located. He may recover. Nestor was
taken to the County Jail at South Bend.
The shooting resulted from enmity
that had existed between the two log
gers since a year and a half ago, at
which time Nestor eloped with Boh
mer's wife, but was arrested at Che
halls. Bohmer, shortly afterward, se
cured a divorce from his wife, who Is
now living In California. Yesterday's
encounter was the first meeting of the
men since the elopement, Nestor Just
having returned to work.
The rivals had anticipated a meeting
and both were armed. A quarrel was
begun lust before the employes were
called to supper and before, any of them
could Interfere, Nestor whipped out a
revolver and at close range shot Boh
mer four times, one bullet penetrating
he lung, one lodging in an arm and
the other two entering the side and
lodging In the back. Nestor's action
was so rapid that Bohmer had no time
to use his pistol.

SEATTLE. Wash., March 2. (Spe

are accustomed," said Mr. Stevenson.
'They will find that they can hear
