EAST SIDE PLEADS CAUSE GEORGIA EXECUTIVE WHO RETIRED YESTERDAY AFTER CLOSING OFFICIAL CAREER IN STORM OVER FRANK CASE. Kepreseiilatlve Dill Urges Spokane cx-Slicrirf in View or Fact That Collector of Internal Reve nue Is 'West Side Man. OIIEGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash-Ing-tou. June 26. The Administration is ondeavoring to appoint a. Democratic Collector of Customs for the State of Washington by July 1, but finds itself much embarrassed by the multiplicity of candidates and conflict of indorsers, and it is not certain the contest can bo settled by the close of the fiscal year. Kepresentati vo Dill, of Spokane, the only Democrat in the "Washington dele gation, left for home today after mak ing a hard fight for Cieorge E. Stone, ex-Sheriff of Spokane County. Dill argued it was customary to grive the" Kast Side the Collector of Customs if the West Side had the Collector of In ternal Revenue, arid vice versa, and, a "West Side Democrat having been ap pointed Collector of Internal Revenue, he insists an East Side Democrat should get the customs job, which is the big firest plum remaining to be given out in Washington. Mr. Dill feels reasonably confident that Stone will be appointed. Mr. Todd Pleadn Own Cause. Hugh C. Todd, of Tacoma, ex-Democratic state chairman, has- been in Washington several days urging him self for this appointment, and person ally told Secretary McAdoo he was entitled to be considered. John Pattison, National committee man, has gone on record in favor of three different candidates. Two years ago he recommend. ", the appointment of Mr. Todd, but recently he wrote to Secretary McAdoo advocating the ap pointment of H. C. Burson, of Seattle, if a West Side man is to be named, and indorsintr Mr. Stone in case the Secretary decides to give the appoint ment tb the East Side. Dr. M. A. Matthews, of Seattle, also has been in Washington and has strongly urged the appointment of "Walter Ronald, of Seattle, who -was candidate for United States Marshal and lost. Another candidate is Martin Ma loney, of Colfax, who has strong back ing, including that of ex-Senator Tur ner, but who is under fire from the "drys" because he Tuns a saloon in connection with his hotel. He is be Heved to be out of the running. Jndpe Blaclc Kannlns Again. Judge W. W. Black, of Everett, the perpetual candidate, recently an nounced that he wanted to be collector of customs and filed his usual indorse ments. Hugh Wallace, of Tacoma, who heretofore has Jiad rnuch-to say about Federal patrona&e in Washington, "re turned this week from- Europe and. in dicated (he would keep hands off the customs xjollectorsliip fight. Mr. Wal lace has been playing the game with Judge Turner and his sympathies are with Maloney. Representative Dill, before leaving, told the President and Secretary Mc Adoo that Dr. Matthews was a Republi can until 1913 and should not be consulted.

MILITIA ON GUARD Retiring Governor of Georgia Still Protected. INAUGURAL IS DRAMATIC Sluton, lleferrins to I'Vank Case at Luncheon to Successor, Says Jew Was Turned Over to Mob by Governor 2 0'0O Years Ago. ATLANTA. Ga.. June 26. Artillery, cavalry and infantry of the state militia stood guard tonight at the home of John M. Slaton. who retired as Gov ernor of the state today, surrendering the office to Nat E. Harris. During the day 26 men were arrested by the militia near the Slaton home and were still held in the County jail to-nte-tat. Firearms and explosives, it Is alleged, were taken from them. To night, however, there was no indication of renewed demonstrations against the ex-Governor because of his action in commuting the sentence of Leo M. Frank. Conscience Declared True Measure. At a luncheon given today in honor of the new Governor, the retiring Gov ernor referred to the Frank case. "Honest people may - disagree with me, an honest man," he said, "but we realize that we must be measured by our consciences. Two thousand years ago another Governor washed his hands of a case and turned over a Jew to a mob. For 2000 years that Gover nor's name has been accursed. If today another Jew were lying in his grave because I had failed to do my duty, 1 would all through my life find his blood on my hands and would consider myself as assassin through cowardice." Hisses Heard at Inaugural. During the inaugural ceremonies at the Capitol there were several tense moments. When Governor Slaton ap proached the new Governor to deliver the state seal a few hisses were heard. The President of the State Senate warned the spectators that unless they maintained order the galleries would be cleared. Instantly there was a tumult of applause. Presenting the seal. Governor Slaton said: "Governor Harris, I know that during my term of office this great seal of state has not been dishonored." His words were greeted by another prolonged outburst of applause. Leaving the Capitol the crowd surged In on the ex-Governor and had to be held back by the militia. that have begun are expected to cause a rapid rise in the Yaaui River, which will prevent operations of the Indians to the Mayo River southward, where an American settlement is situated. Latest advices from La Paz were that that town and vicinity had declared in favor of Carranza. No fighting was re ported there. Guaymas has refused to receive or clear vessels for La Paz. DRY ACT PRINTED WRONG Error Would Invalidate Law, It Is Said, but Will Be Changed. EUGENE, Or., June 26. (Special.) According to the wording of the 1915 code recently distributed throughout the state, and in which a printer's error was discovered today by Deputy Sher iff Elkins, of Lane County, the pro hibition law would be unenforceable, it Is said. The code uses the words "not less than $500," when referring to the penalty, when it should say "not more than $500." This would leave the law without any maximum penalty and, it is said, a law not limiting the pen alty is unconstitutional. District Attorney J. M. Devers took the matter up today with Secretary of State Ben Olcott. who said the error had been made by the printer. Printed slips are being prepared, he said, to be inserted in the books at the proper places. CURRY TO HOLD INSTITUTE Superintendent Churchill Announces Programme for Teachers. SALEM, Or., June 26.
