LOUS, Sept. 9.-When Judge Douglas adjoruned court tonight seven of the 13 members of the alleged boodle combine of the house of delegates In dicted yesterday were stll'at large. The developments In the case followed each othr throughout the day with start ling rapidity. The moKt important was the find ing of some Indictments against It members of the combine. In addition to the charges of bribery and perjury in connection with, the suburban rail road deul, Die accused now rest under the additional Indictmncts charging bribery. These were found by the grand Jury after J. K. Murrell had testified today as to the city lighting scandal of 1900, in which euch member of the combine. Is said to have receiv ed 125,000 In payment for his services In securing the passage of the bill. Tho bonds were fixed at $15,000 for every Indictment, making a total of $45,000 necessary for the release of any one of the'accusied. '- . Early In the day ex-Delegate J. H. Bchncttler, John Helms.

THE TERRIBLE OATH. ine rouowing is the fearful oath sworn by the prisoners: "I do solemnly swear before the Al mighty God that in associating myself and In becoming a member of thi , combine I will vote and act with the j combine whenever and wherever I may ! be so ordered to do. i "And I further solemnly swear that I will not, at any place or time, re veal the fact that there is a combine, and that I will not communicate to any person, or persons, anything that may take place at any meeUng of this combine. "And I do solemnly agree that. In case I should reveal the fact that any person in this combine has received money, I hereby permit and authorize other members of this combine to take the forfeit of my life In such manner as they may deem proper; and that my. throat may be cut, my tongue torn out and my body cast-into the Mississippi River.

Delegates to the Republican state convention have spent tne day caucusing : over three congressional nominations and the In dlcations tonight are that Representa tives Cush man and Jones will be re- nominated, and W. E. Humphrey, of Seattle wilt be selected a the third candidate. Friends of Brownell, , of Everett, Ptckrell, of Colfax, Falknoor, of Olym- pla, and Bridges, of Aberdeen, bave been trying to effect a combination where by one of them would be chosen instead of Humphrey, but they fared to secure the necessary votes. The anti-railroad commission dele gates have been making a hard fight and It is almost certain that they will be able to prevent the insertion in the platform of the plank favoring ap pointive commission and possibly will have enough votes to defeat even the elective proposition. Governor Mc- Bride's, friends, however, claim to be confident tht the convention will en dorse his views In favor of appointive commission. ' Judge Hadley will undoubtedly be re nominated for Justice of the supreme court, and A. J. Falknoor, of Otym- pia, will probably be selected chair man of the convention. , KILLICK REPORTED DEAD.
