Edmonds, Wash., Mayor and
Council, Denounced as
Traitors. -
Everett, Wash., Jan. 12P With three
' Bociaiista, thjree Republicans and one
Democrat In the city council, all stand
ing' pat bo far, Everett people are spec
ulating on how It will end. The Social
ists have their resignations on file with
their party local, but so far have not
ieen released. However, Edmonds, a
city a few miles south, has furnished
evidence that Socialists will get over
the party traces. .
Edmonds has a strictly Socialist gov
ernment, all but one councilman and
every other member of the official party
. being of that party, They ran on the
Socialist platform and under the specific
pledge and restrictions which the party
imposes on all Its candidates, but at
the meeting of the council the mayor,
speaking for the Socialist members, an
nounced that the council would not take
its orders from the Socialists but from
all tho people, and that no public im
provements would be started except
such as the people voted to have. One
plank of the Socialist platform was a
promise to proceed with the construction
of a sewer by day labor that would em
ploy 60 men all winter.
The administration's backdown from
party principle Is bitterly denounced by
the Edmonds Review, organ of the par
ty, which calls It "an abject surrender
to the capitalistic Interests."
Edmonds Is a strongly Socialistic com
munity, and the party has been built
up there under favorable circumstances.
With five alleged traitors to the party
within two weeks after taking office,
the Socialists are speculating how long
the Everett councilmen will remain
faithful against pressure far stronger
than that exercised at Edmonds.

WASHINGTON
COUNTY
PASSES
(Speclil to The Journil.)
Turner, Or., Jan. 12. Mrs. Mary J.
Shaw, who died at Portland Saturday,
at the age of 81 years, and whose body
was laid away in Twin Oak cemetery on
the heights east of Turner, was born In
County Tynne, Ireland. When she was
13 years of age her family emigrated
to Canada. There she was married in
1848 to Angus Shaw. To them were
born 11 children, eight of whom sur
vive. In 1876 the family came to Ore
gon, settling upon a large tract of farm
lands in the Waldo Hills east of Salem.
There they for many years carried on
farming operations on a large and lucra
tive scale. Angus Shaw died in 1888,
and In 1900 the family Interests were
transferred to Reedville Prairie, In
Washington county, where Investment
was made In the Perkins farm, which
remained the home of Mjs. Shaw until
her death.
After a career of uncommon activity
and usefulness, Mrs. Shaw became a
great sufferer from rheumatism, which
eventually proved fatal. She was a
member of the Presbyterian church from
a very early age, and was always
warmly devoted to the church's Inter
ests. Her husband was for many, years
an elder of Pleasant Grove church,
whose historic edifice stands four miles
southeast of Turner.
Mrs. Shaw's surviving sons and
daughters are; John A. of Albany;
William A. and Mrs. Margaret R. Gra
ham, Mrs. Sarah J. Sims and Mrs. Ra
chel S. Clark of Portland; Mrs. Mary J.
Mcintosh of Walla Walla; George F. of
Spokane, and Daniel A. of Beaverton.
All are prominent in their respective
communities. One of her sons, Angus
Scott Shaw of Portland, died four years
ago.
An extraordinary coincidence is to be
noted in that tho same funeral rites
were performed for Mrs. Shaw and for
Mrs. Alice J. Cole, the bodies of both
arriving on the same train, destined for
the same cemetery at the same hour.
Both died in Portland on the same day
and both were members of the Presby
terian church. The Shaw and Cole fam- J
Hies were intimately associated socially !
and in business ways 20 years ago, but
neither family knew of the bereavement
of the other until the two funeral par- j
ties were proceeding to the church from
the railway station Tuesday. j
Pastor Harvey dwelt feelingly upon j
the virtues of the departed, and their
zeal In the work of the church. A large
number of friends was present. Beautl- j
ful and affecting music by the Presby- I
terian choir gave additional impres- I
siveness to an unusual ceremonial.
