OLYMPIA, Wash., July 12. (Special.)
A special session of the Washington
Legislature next year, possibly a. one
day session, to pass a law providing
for the direct election of Senators, ap
pears now to be probable as the result
of the failure of the regular session to
adopt the Oregon system, and the sub
sequent ratification of the amendment
to the Federal Constitution.
Governor. Ernest Lister, although
much opposed to a special session, has
been giving the subject considerable
attention, and he is considering the
one-day proposal seriously. He has in
his possession a petition signed by a
majority of the members of each
house, in which the legislators prom
ise, if called together, to do no work
other than the repealing of existing
statutes and the consideration of such
new matters as may be recommended
by the Governor.
That there is no need of extending
the session beyond one day is Gov
crnor Lister's opinion, and he believes
aso that the lawmakers should not be
called together before next Spring or
Summer.
Hope Rests With Congress.
The. Governor still hopes Congress
may possibly enact some legislation
which will obviate the necessity for
action by the states, although word
from Senator Wesley L. Jones is to the
effect that there is little likelihood of
this.
Under the Washington plan legislat
ors take the statutory pledge to vote
for the party choice, and, as it is ex
tremely likely that no party may have
a majority on Joint ballot in the next
Legislature, an unbreakable deadlock
might easily result unless action is
taken.
The Senatorial situation Is taking
the attention In this state. So far Re.
publicans seem to be Indorsing Senator
Jones, who already has announced his
candidacy for re-election. It Is quite
likely ex-Governor M. B. Hay will ac
tively support Jones, though, before
Hay's recent return from the East, it
was reported he might be a candidate
for Senator;
. Candidates Are Groomed.
The Progressives and Democrats are
booth grooming numerous prospective
candidates for the toga, both in East
ern and Western Washington, but it
Is coming to be the belief of the lead
ers in both parties that each should
rely on the geographical argument and
nominate a. Coast man, since at present
both Senators Jones and Poindexter are
from east of the Cascades.
In Democratic ranks. Mayor George
F. Cotterill, of Seattle, and James H.
Dege, of Tacoma. are being discussed,
and both probably will be candidates.
Among the Progressives, J. A Falconer,
of Everett, now Congressman-at-large,
and Will H. Parry, of Seattle, are
talked of, though it is not certain that
either will run. Ole Hanson, of Seattle,
Is said to have given up, for the pres
ent, his Senatorial ambition, and W. H.
Paulhamus, of Sumner, and ex-Governor
Henry McBrlde, regarded a year
ago, as probable candidates, are re
maining quiet.

Pitiful Incident Occurs Wom
an Estranged From Husband. "
ROSEBURG, Or., July 12. (Special.)
"My God, is that you, mother?" was
the exclamation uttered by Ray Dia
mond, the youthful Glendale bank rob
ber, as his mother, Mr- J. Diamond, of
Eureka, Cal., entered the county jail
here today. Mrs. Diamond came to
Roseburg unbeknown to her son, and
the surprise was complete.
Following exchange of greetings,
Mrs. Diamond embraced her son as
tears coursed down her cheeks. The
meeting of mother and son was pa
thetic and for the first time since his
incarceration in jail. Diamond evi
denced unmistakable signs of grief.
Following an Interview with her son,
Mrs. Diamond visited District Attorney
Brown and pleaded for her son's re
lease. "Ray is not a bad boy," said Mrs. Dia
mond between sobs, "I know he did not
mean to rob the bank. He must have
been crazy. Ray realized the serious
ness of the offense and surrendered,
and turned the money over to its own
ers. Surely you will not send him to
the penitentiary."
Although touched by the pathetic
pleadings of the grief-stricken woman,
the District Attorney informed her that
the punishment was a matter of law,
and was not in the discretion of the
Prosecuting Attorney.
Mrs. Diamond then visited Judge
Hamilton, where she continued her
pleadings. Like the District Attorney,
Judge Hamilton was unable to lend
the mother any encouragement
Mrs. Diamond refuses to believe her
son has committed a crime and main
tains that he is Innocent of Intentional
wrong-doing. In speaking of Mrs. Dia
mand's visit to his office. District At
torney Brown said it was one of the
most pitiful incidents he had observed
during his official career.
Mrs. Diamond is past mldle age, and
is heartbroken over her son's trouble.
Mrs, Diamond's husband, from whom
she is estranged, resides at Glendale.

To Check Increase In Permanently
Unemployed) Professor Wood
Urges Insurance Through Sys
tem of Dabor Exchanges.
SEATTLE. W.Mh Tnlo- It Tk. nr.
tlonal Conference of Charities and Cor-
aajournea lonlgnt, to meet in
Memphis next July. The subject of the
closing publlo session was "Standards
of Living and Labor." Rev. John A.
Ryan, of St. Paul, chairman, presented
the report of the committee.
The problem of those working people
who are unable to earn the legal min
imum wage was discussed by Profes
sor Wood, of Reed College, of Port
land. Or. He 'said:
"One result of the minimum wage
vvum ue to mane employers more se
lective. Hence some workers, the less
efficient, will remain unemployed, un
less other social expedients are found
to meet their needs."
Insurance la Urged.
To check the increase in the perma
nently unemployed. Professor Wood
urged Insurance against unemployment
inrougn a system of labor exchanges,
public employment bureaus, closer co
operation between such bureaus and
employers, and colonies or other means
for the legal employment of the per
manently unemployed, and finally the
adoption of a National minimum wage
law for alien workers, which probably
wouia cnecu etrectually Jhe stream of
cheap immigrant labor.
Dr. James H. Gilbert, of the depart
ment of economics of the University of
Oregon, spoka on "Working Men's Com
pensation Versus Insurance for Acci
dents." He Bald In part:
"Existing employers' liability laws
are recognized by all serious students
as altogether inadequate remedy for
Industrial accidents. Most European
countries have substituted the princi
ple of compensation in some form.
Foreign systems afford a definite seals
of compensation for all injuries ex
cept those due to wilful misconduct.
"In foreign countries two more or
less distinct systems of accident relief
are found. In England individual em
ployers are held responsible for pay
ing a specified scale of compensations
and are left free to choose the method
by which such obligations are met. In
Norway employers are compelled to In
sure their workmen against accident
through a state insurance bureau.
American reformers long have recog
nized the necessity of following the
European example, but two obstacles
have stood in the way of adopting some
Improved system of accident relief.
Compensation acts may place manufac
turers at a disadvantage with produc
ers in other states, which still cling to
employers' liability. Again compensation-acts
that are compulsory in form
are of doubtful constitutionality. There
is reason to believe that both obstacles
are only temporary and that compen
sation will in course of time be gener
ally adopted. .
Merita of System Balanced.
"The important question at the. out
set is the choice between simple com
pensation acts and some system of
state insurance lika that of Norway.
So far as efficacy in preventing acci
dent is concerned the merits of the two
systems are about evenly balanced with
a slight advantage in favor of state In
surance.
"A state insurance system affords
greater security to injured workmen
that their claims will be promptly and
fully paid, while under compensation
there is no guarantee save that sup
plied by the solvency of individual em
ployers. "State Insurance against accident,
when made exclusive is far more eco
nomical, since it saves the wastes in
volved in the competitive quest for
business by private companies. In
Norway and Germany expenses of man
agement have been reduced to 15 or 10
per cent, whereas In England the aver
age expense of private companies reach
100 per cent of the compensations
granted. Economic considerations fa
vor state insurance wnere the system
can be safeguarded from -political
abuses.
