Prohibition Question Causes
Leaders Serious Thought
and Much Worry
SENATORIAL TIMBER
EXCEEDS THE DEMAND
Wants Constitutional Conven
tion to Put Suffrage and
Other Laws in Shape
Seattle, Wash., July IS. Governor
Lister may be selected this afternoon
us permanent chairman of the demo
cratic state convention which convened
here this morning in the armory.
The governor is in the convention
lmll, is expected to make a speech, and
will probably be urged to accept the
chairmanship. There is a spirited con
test on for the place, and the sugges
tion that the governo;- act as chairman
is regarded as a happy one.
Among the candidates for the place
lire W. II. Dunphy, Walla Walla; Tom
M. Vance, Olympin; Maurice I.nng
horne, Tacoma, and William Goodyear,
I'ullman.
There is considerable anxiety among
the leaders on the likelihood of the
prohibition question being injected into
the convention.
Frank Beeves, of Wenatchee, a dele
gate, is worrying the leaders by his
determination to offer a motion to in
dorse the present initiative bill.
The "wet" and "dry" fight pre
cipitated a bolt in tho Snohomish coun
ty convention and the contest may be
tarried to the state gathering.
Three senatorial candidates are at
the convention, overlooking no bets.
They are Hugh C. Todd, state chair
man; George Turner of Spokane and
Judge V. W. Black of Everett.
There is little doubt that the prin
ciples outlined in the King county plat
form will be recommended with little
Change by the platform committee
when it makes its report late this aft
ernoon to the state convention, and will
meet with the approval of the dele
gates. Charles D. Fullen, Ben I..
Moore and H. D. Folsom, the committer
which drafted the county platform, re
drafted it yesterday at the instance of
the state committee.
The Platform as Drafted.
It gives its unqualified endorsement
to the measures nnd policies of the na
tional administration tariff bill, its
banking and currency law, its Mexican
and foreign policies, its "substitution
of justice, honor and right for mere
dollar diplomacy, its repeal of the ca
nal tolls exemption law and its policy
toward Alaska and its promise toward
Washington and'tke northwest.
Senator Wesley Jones and Congress
man V. E. Ilumphrey arc "condemn
ed" for "their narrow partisanship"
and their "vicious and unwarranted as
saults " upon an administration that
"lias done more for the northwest "than
has been done by the republican part:.
during its entire existence."
The republican platform adopted at
the Taenia convention is ridiculed as
"meaningless and reactionary."
Tho platform favors a federal child
labor law and a system of rural and
farm credits along lines proposed by
President Wilson.
Governor Lister and the state admin
istration are praised and upheld for
the "progressive tmd economic man
agement of state affairs."
The governor is declared to have
faithfully fulfilled his promise of econ
omy and efficiency and is congratu
lated for his system of financial re
ports from public institutions.
Want Constitutional Convention.
Among the prim iples and proposals
pledged in the legislative program are:
The calling of a constitutional conven
tion to' incorporate the fundamental
law of the state, the new and progress
ive principles of the governmental sys
tem; full.legal equality between men
and women; ratification of all division
al franchises by the people; approval
of all franchises by the public service

MARE ISLAND MAY
BID ON DREADNAUCHT
Pacific Coast Delegation Present Mat
ter to Secretary and With It Some
'Very Stron3 Arguments.
Washington, July 18. Prospects were
thought to be fairly good here today
that Mare Island would be given an op
portunity to bill on one of the new
dreadnaughts to be started in the
course of the comimr vear. !
Secretary of the Navy Daniels was
understood hardly to have realized the
extent of the sentiment in favor of a
Pacific Coast built battleship before
the call made on him Friday by the
congressional delegations from Cali
fornia, Oregon, Ctah, Nevada, Idaho
and Colorado with a request that Mare
island be considered.
The secretary's objection to the cost
of transporting materials to the coast
and installing machinery at Mare
Island was pretty well overcount !' the
suggestion that naval colliers could
transport the materials and that the
machinery will be needed for repair
work after the Panama canal has been
opened, lie did not seem fully con
vinced, however, that repairing ships
which will visit San Francisco for the
1015 fair would uot occupy the Mare
Island yard up to its capacity next
year. '
Still, a full investigation of the pro
position was promised and its sup
porters expressed confidence that they
would carry their point by working for
it unitedlv.
WHICH OF THEM
IS THE CRAZIER?
Elbert Ferra, an inmnto of the sjute
insaae asylum, mude an unsuccessful at
tempt yesterday to emulate Joseph
Knonles, who will attempt to prove
that he can live for a month as a prim
itive man in the southern part of Ore
gon. Ferra escaped from Cottage farm
and when captured by Dr. A. T. Stein
er, dentist of the institution, was di
vested uf his clothing and was roaming
about in the brush on a creek near tho
farm. Asked why he had taken off
his clothing, Ferra replied:
"It is too warm to be dressed, and
besides I want to aid that fellow
Knowles in proving that a man can
make his way in the woods as nature
intended."
The man was committed from Mult
nomah county. ,
SAY JOHN D. IS INDUSTRIAL
HEAD OF UNITED STATES
Washington, July IS. Charging that
the mine owners in their statement cov
ering the labor troubles in Colorado
had distorted evidence and misrepre
sented legal decisions, the striking coal
miners of that state submitted today
to the house committee on mines and
mining a brief in reply to that of their
employers, in which they asked for
"conseructive and remedial legislation
by the federal government."
In the miners' brief John D. Rocke
feller is referred to as the "industrial
head of the United States." The hope
was expressed that the dispute" might
be settled by arbitration and that the
federal troops, n6w in control of tho
Colorado mining regions, soon will be
withdrawn.

Vancouver, B. C, July 18. A state
of armed mutiny reigns on board the
Komagata Maru, the Japanese steam
ship,' with 3D2 rejected Hindu immi
grants on board in the Vancouver har
bor. Captain Yamamoto is a prisoner in
the hands of the infuriated East In
dians, who refuse to allow either the
local police or harbor authorities or
immigration Officials on board the ves
sel. The police will endeavor to board
the Komagata today and a battle is
feared as the result.
The Hindus are desperate and deter
mined that any attempt to force them
to do anything that they do not want
to do will be met with strong opposi
tion. .
They are preparing to resist the au
thorities, even at tho price of blood
shed. Each one of tho men is a trained
soldier, and there is a ajjrendid supply
of arms and ammunition on board the
Komagata to- mane a strong and desper

The Hindus jn Vancouver are in a
state of unrest and greatly agitated
over the events of the past few days.
They are daily gathering in large num

Komagata and its passengers.
Yesterday afternoon Captain Yama
moto commenced making preparations
for the return trip of his ship to the
Orient but ho had issued only a few
orders when he was rushed by a horde
of bare-footed Hindus who forced him
from the deck of his vessel to the hold

QUARTIER SENTENCED
TO PEN BUT PAROLED
Judge Kelly Sentence Hint 3 to 8 Years
but After a Scathing Lecture Paroles
Him During Good Behavior.
Albert Quartier was given a sentence
of from three to five years in the peni
tentiary this morning for acrjury, but
paroled by Judge Kelly upon the prom
ise of the young man to reform nnd to
be good in tho future. The crime for
which Quartier was convicted was in
connection with the famous chicken
stealing cases that came up in justice
court in April. Quartier gave infor
mation to Sheriff Ksch and District At
torney Itingo implicating two others
and then on tho. stand in justice court
he repudiated the statements and claim
ed that lie did not kuow the contents
of a paper which he signed'in the sher
iff's office.
Quartier was convicted early in the
week, but the jury recommended a pa
role in giving their verdict. Judge
I)'Ar('y. wl' appeared for tho defen
,ant, asked the mercy of the court,
and the district attorney stated
that
he had no objections.
The Language Scorched.
In passing sentence ami granting the
parole Judge Kelly delivered a scath
ing lecture to the young man, every
word of whih raised a blister and vis
ibly affected the prisoner. Judge Kel
ly stated that perjury was one of the
worst crimes in the category of crfai
inal offenses and that it had done more
to discredit the legal profession and
pollute the actions of courts tiian any
other crime. ,lle stated that he hesi
tated to turn a man loose after it was
proven that ho bad no regard for an
oath.
"The only way you may ever become
a man is to pursue a course of integ
rity and honor," tho judge said, and
Quartier promised to be honest and up
right in the future.
The judge imposed three conditions
in granting the parole, the first that
Quartier be law abiding, that he use
no profane or indecent language, and
that he report at least once a month fo
Judge D'Arcy and show that he had
kept his promises. On these conditions
tho parole was granted so that the
young, man might continue to aid ftis
mother, as it was shown that he was
her sole support and, that there were
younger children in the family who
would surfer from beingi deprived of
the assistance of Quartier.

Portland, Ore., July IS. Land in
cluded in old donation claims and high
ly developed orchards that never be
longed to the Oregon & California rail
road grant were filed upon by W. F.
Miuard, acting for people who had
paid him to locate, claims on tho grant

the government during the progress of
tho trial in tho federal court today of
E. J. Sellers and J. W. Logan of Ta
coma and Seattle, and W. F, Minard,
charged with fraudulent Use of the

In support of those allegations
United States Attorney Roamcs sub
mitted documents purporting to show
Minard 's affidavits bearing descrip
tions of tho lands, and deeds snowing
that tho Oregon & California company
either never owned the lands so do
scribed or had deeded them to others
years previous.
Some of the property in question had
been held for CO yoars and other par
cels had been de-ded by the comp.'vy
as far baclf a 18!2.7 In all 3D Minaril
affidavits and a similar number of
deeds bearing prior date were offered
as evidence, with an object of proving
that Miuard and his co-defendants had
mailo location filings without regard to
tho records or the statin of tho prop
erties. Testifying for the government today,
C. F. Impy, a clerk in tho Oregon &
California land department, testified

LEGAL QUESTION IS
RAISED BY MARRIAGE
Oirl Escaping from' Industrial School
Marries Question Is: Can She Be
Compelled to Remain at School?
It developed today that Catherine
D'Orsay, who with three other girls
escaped about two weeks ago from the
State Industrial School for Oirls, and
Henry Warner of Amity were married
July 13. The girl was captured in
Amity yesterday and returned to the
institution lust night against her pro
test and that of he husband. Nut
being certain as to the legal status of
the case, the stnto board of control to
day asked Attorney General Crawford
if Mrs. Warner could bo kept at the
institution sinco her marriage. She is
more than 18 years of age, but tho law
creating the Stnto Industrial School for
Girls provides that inmates may be re
tained there until they aro 25 years of
ago.
The attorney generul, in an off-hand
opinion, said that inasmuch as the wo
men was a fugitive from justice when
she was married sho probably had no
recourse under the law and would have
to remain nt tho institution until she
reached the ago of 23, or until Bhe was
paroled. He said, however, that it was
not the duty of the state to test the
law, and that the legal course for the
husoand was the suing out of a writ
of habeas corpus. Mrs. Kntherine
Hopkins, matron of tho Industrial
School for Girls, said she would fight
any nttempt to have the woman releas
ed until sho. was paroled nr had serv
ed until she was 25 years of age. Sho

"If They Are Needed"
Washington, July 18. Thnt General
Carrau.a's chief lieutenant will decide
how sweeping an amnesty to grant to
the Mexican federals was stated at the
coiiBtitutionaliiit junta here today.
Members of tho junta were quite op
en in snying that they regarded the
death of the federal leaders necessary
to prevent much dangerous plotting
against tho prospective constitutionalist
government and that the late Presidcat
Madero's overthrow and murder were
tho rosult of his failure to make a
clean swoep of his enemies.
It was consequently feared in ad
ministration circles that Carrauza's ad
visers would demand the execution of
most of the higher army officers. Strowr-"
pressure was being brought ou the con
stitutionalist leader from here, how
over, in favor of a general amnesty.
Want Their Money.
Representatives of the powers were
urging the United States to influence
Carranza to assume the debts incurred
during President Huerta 's regime.

From John STlliman, representing the
state department at General Carranza's
heftdcpiartors, came a message saying
communication with Ran Luis Potosi
was interrupted but that it was re
ported the constitutionalists had cap
tured the city.
Will Disarm Federals.
Juarez, Mexico, July 18. A rebel

to occupying Mexico City, was being

today. ,
Orders wore sent to General Obregon
to disarm all federals between Guadala

It was stated that the five thous
