With six counties reporting thetr quotas over-mubscribed, and nearly all the rest at jeast 50 per cent suc- ceasful, King county and Seatue the $150,000 they have been asked to assume as their state's task of saving the lives of 35,000 children, “If Seattle will rates the $90,000- odd that remains of ite quota,” Bur- nett declared, “there will be no need to fear about the success of the cam- palgn. to give the other $200,000. Every $10 donated means a life saved as the direct result, as every |penny goes to the actual purchase | of necessities, All incidental ex | penses are being cared for by private | subscription.

Because of a widespread confusion which he declared to exist about the relation of Herbert Hoover's child saving campaign with the Near East relief organization, Dr, Divine made the following explanation of the dif- ference between the two organiza- tions: “There is no connection between the European relief council of which Herbert Hoover is chairman and the Near Kast relief committee, There is no duplication of aid given by the two organizations, STAR FLOWERS GREET NEW OFFICIALS 6) — Court House All Decked Out as New Regime Starts Amid the aroma of rones, newly. elected officials of King county moved into their offices Monday. ‘erywhere flowers reigned, both where old faces yielded to new ones -|and where the old ones remained.

W.! 17th Session-of State Legislature Starts Business at Olympia BY ABE HURW ‘V7, OLYMPIA, Wash, Jan, 10-—The 17th legiviature of Washington con- vened at noon today and performed according to program. 1, HM. Gute of Seattle was elected speaker of the house and Howard PD. Taylor of Eagle Gorge was chosen president pro tem. of the nenate, Ileut. Gov. Coyle, presiding officer of the senate, will not take charge until after in- auguration ceremonies Wednesday. As usual, the first measure to be passed is the appropriation bill cov ering the expenses of the legislature, HASKELL-LEW CONTEST IS DUK * Vietor Zednick and Charles May- bury were clected secretaries of the senate and house, respectively, post ons they had held in past sessions. Among the first matters to be set- ted in the house is Mrs. Frances M Haskell's contest for the seat of Da- vid Lewls of the 36th district, In Tacoma. Lewin waa elected on the farmer-la- bor ticket. Mra. Haskell was the re- publican candidate, She had been a member of the last legislature. It in her contention that Lewis had moved into the district only a few days be- fore the election and that he moved out of it shortly after the ¢lection; that he in now a resident of the 35th) district. If her contention that he is no* a |bona fide resident of the district he represents is upheld, the seat will be declared vacant. Whether that would automatically place ber in Jgewts’ seat or would Impose the duty upon the governor to cali a spectal elec tion is @ mooted question upon which lawyers here disagree, LEGISLATURE 18 REPUBLICAN The contest wil come up before! ‘the privileges and elections commit. tee, of which Thomas F. Murphine The other members are: Anderson,’ Mansfield, Mess, Baldwin, Cory, Lucas, Kirk man, Long, Davis, Whitfield and Mann. With the exception of two labor party men and one democrat in the house, and one democrat in the sen- ate, the legislature is republican. When Lieut. Gov. William J. Coyle appeared before the senate caucus last week he was greeted with gen- erous applause, Coyle, who will be 33 years old in March, is the young est man to have attained this high position in thin state. He is Wash- ingtgn’s famour football player, and in war distinguished himself in over. seas service, receiving several cita tions for heroism in battle. The personne! of the 17th legis lature indicates a decided conserva- Uve leaning. It is expected that an attack will be made on the direct pri- mary and other popular measures. ‘The consolidation of the various commissions tn the state is urged by Gov, Hart, his plan following along the line of the Lowden pian in IIli- noia. This is expected to precipitate the most important discnesion in the legislature. Committes appointments, selected by Speaker Guie and Lieut, Gov. Coyle, tollowed the expected lines. ‘The all-important rules committee of the house consists of the speaker and Representatives Banker,. David, Lucas, Kirkman, Long, Murphine, Allen, Kelly, Reed, Spencer, Remann, Kyan (C, W.), Wolf and Houser, COMMITTEES AKK ANNOUNCED The senate rules committee con. wists Of the Heutenant governor and Senators Taylor, Hall, Carlyon, Cornwell, Metcalf, Sutton, Wells, Myers, Rockwell.
