Kuyken- dall, of Pomeroy, who voted and spoke against the Lamping soldiers’ relief bill in the last session of the legislature, will not be removed from the state public service commission.| This announcement was made by Gov. Louis F. Hart in a letter replying to the protest of Theodore Roosevelt Post No. 24, Veterans of Foreign Wars Gov, Hart, who until the death of the late Gov. Lister was lieutenant governor and president of the state senate, replied to the veterans that he “assumed full responsibility for | the appointment of Senator Kuyken dali,” and that he was prompted in making the appointment by “a close | observation of hi# work during two sesstons of the legislature.” Senator Kuykendall was a mem- ber, with the then Lieut. Gov. Hart, of the “organization” controlled by Senator P. H. Carlyon, of Thurs- ton county. He often served as floor leader in opposing progressive meas- ures, and joined forces with the or- ganization, making one of the key- mote speeches against the Lamping soldiers’ relief measure. ‘When the Lamping bill was before the state senate, Senator Kuyken- dal! declared it was a scheme fos- tered by Seattle men to have the leg OREGON GIRL 1S MURDERED Brutally Attacked and Shot by Unknown Man killed The girl's body was found late yea- terday fm a secluded spot near the home of her father, John Leuthold, a mill foreman.

Chicago went to bed Monday as sured the wage disagreement be- tween the roads and their men had been settled. Leaders of the unions had agreed to the compromise and asserted it would go thru. A mass meeting of car men sprang the surprise by voting loudly against the compromise and deciding to strike at 4 a. m., only a few hours after the meeting closed. Suggestions from the crowd in the meeting that the men walk out at 4 & m, were approved by acclama- tion. The action was concurred in at once by elevated workers. Cars Taken to Barns Almost immediately the strike be gan to become effective. Cars on long runs were jerked back. At 3 a. m. the first was taken from its run. At 4:15 the last one had been parked and the electrical transporta- tion aystem was asleep, By 4:15 a. m. every car on the Both elevated elevated, as well as surface lines, was in its barn or in its parking space. Not a car was operating on either line. Effects of the strike were appar. ent at once. Suburban trains awoke hours before their usual train. They were run into the city in long strings. Ancient coaches were pulled by huge freight engines Horsedrawn cabs and automobiles were filled to the running boards, + Taxicabs could command any rate their drivers wanted to charge. Bid- ders offered startling sums for transportation to the “loop.” ©¢ Ice wagons carried passengers. Some transferred from them to other wagons carrying them further to- ward their working places Telephone service was hard hit. Operators were slow getting to their switchboards. The lake did duty as a passenger carrier, Launches and even yachts carried men and women in the down- town sections. COUNCIL WON'T INVITE VALERA Takes Three Ballots to De- feat Resolution After taking three ballots, the clty council finally decided Mon- day afternoon not to invite Eamonn de Valera, the “presi- dent” of the “Irish republic,” now on the Pacific coast, to visit Seattle. Notwithstanding the council's ac tion, Valera will speak here, Edward J. Coen announced after the coun ciimanic vote. The exact date of the visitor's appearance will be decided Friday at a meeting of a local Irish society, responsible for the invita- tion to Valera. Previous to the council's adverse vote, a resolution signed by M. J. Costello, Dan McKillop and Edward J. Coen was read, protesting that the council resolution was not rep resentative, and wreing that the resolution be defeated. GARBAGE USED TO FILL LOTS Resident Charges Fumes Are Disgusting Editor The Star—We, the property owners of the westside of Queen Anne Hill, desire to protest against the following: At the curve of the boulevard where Kighth ave. and ‘West Fulton meet, there is an empty lot which we understood was to be filled. We were willing that this be done, but when the wagons came with the material to fill it, what was it—gradings? No; garbage from all over Queen Anne Hill. It was several days before we had real occasion to take up the matter. The garbage dump was set fire owing to hot ashes and the combustible ma- terial burning caused a very disagree- able odor. The fire department came and put out the fire, but the material under the one layer of soil continues to burn. At night, even now, the odor is so disagreeable that we must keep our windows closed if we do not wish to wake up with a headache land a touch of sore throat. ‘We appealed to the head of the garbage department, but got no satis- faction. We then determined to ob- tain the help of the health depart- ment. A petition was signed by about 40 of the property owners and it was forwarded to the health department. Their answer was that they would not interfere with it, as the low lots on Queen Anne Hill were béing filled with the same material, That was all the satisfaction we received and we do not know if they came and looked it up at all. What we cannot understand is how they can say it’s right to empty garbage in an empty lot, when one of the health ordi- |nances says that one may be fined |if they leave the lid off the garbage can, Is not a lot full of old combus. tible material as dangerous to the public health as that fn a garbage can? That is what we cannot under. stand. Is there not someone we can ap- peal to that can help us to do away with this obnoxious odor? Is not the protection of health on Queen Anne Hill as important as any place else? Cannot the boulevard be made a de- cent place to live on, and for Seattle autoists to drive on? We have no doubt as to the feeling of the people jas they pass, when they get a whiff | of the odor. We, the property owners, want re- lief, and we want it immediately. ONE OF THE VICTIMS.

The matter re ceived the desired prompt action. It was immediately referred to the Public safety and finance committees, Governor Hart Turns Down Veterans] —(United Press.) —Chicago was! caught today by a surprise strike of traction company em- | ployes, who housed their cars at 4 a, m. x and surface line employes rejected the compromise engi- neered by Governor F. C. Lowden in their wage controversy. Fifteen thousand men refused an offer of 20 cents The strike decision came late last night, {when street car men, in a riotous meeting, were carried along by radicals who demanded a 77 per cent raise. Unless special meetings are called, the proposition will appear before the public safety committee at the regular meeting of this committee Wednesday afternoon.
