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. BODY OF SNYDER IS FOUND Drowned Man or Lenta Drifts Nine Miles After Death.

YOUTH GIVEN SURPRISE Mrs. Diamond Refuses to Believe Offspring Has Committed Crime. 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.

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. News From Llnnton. LINNTON, Or., July 12. (Special.)
