MAX HOLDS UP GOVERNOR.
OLYMPIA. March 13.—All was
excitement today when a man giv
ing the name of Wagner rushed into
the office of Governor Lister and
drove Lister out at the point of a
revolver announcing that he would
hold the office for an hour. He did
so and declaring that it was time
to climb down the fire escape,
Wagner was arrested in doing so.
An examination of the man shows
that he is insane with a form of re
ligious mania. He is being held for
examination by the lunacy expert
and will be placed on trial.

BRIAND MAY BE FORCED
RE-ORGANIZE CABINET
PARIS, March 13.—While the
routine of the war proceeds, poli
tical circles are stirred up by the
possible crisis in the cabinet.
Briand may be compelled to re
organize his cabinet owing to the
unpopularity and severe criticism to
which some of his colleagues have
been subjected.
While the Cabinet was granted a
vote of confidence on Saturday in
the Chamber of Deputies, it was
by a relatively small majority and
the vote showed two hundred ':i
decided opposition to the Briand
government.
On this account it is freely fore
told that the Premier may decide
to drop off at least two members if
not more. Minister La Caze is
among those who are targets for
criticism. He is Minister of Ma
rine. Minister Thomas is alone
recognized as meeting the occasion
in every way. He was a socialist de
puty and is Minister of Munition
etc.
LONDON, March 13.—The Irish
question and the tariff question may
unhorse Lloyd George says the Lon
don Evening Star in a rather hostile
editorial. The influence of North
cliffe contends the Chronicle, more
friendly to Asquith, will be his un
doing. The Lloyd George govern
ment is just now unusually con
fident and the sessions of Parlia
ment during the past week re
vealed a comfortable working ma
jority.
There may be an earnest effort
made -to settle the Home Rule ques
tion in Ireland, Carson advises that
this be done himself.
SHOOTS TO KILL
TO GET EVEN
SAN DIEGO, March 12.—This cit.v
was the scene of an extraordinary
and perhaps fatal shooting incident
when William Clayton, Vice Presi
dent and General Manager of the
Spreckels traction interests in this
city and southern California was
shot and probably fatally wounded
by Lorenzo Bellemo who was at
once taken into custody.
Bellemo, is a cripple and when
taken to police headquarters no said
that he had lost his foot by being
run over by a Spreckels street ear.
LOCAL ITEMS.
The following labelled “Sunshine”
is from the versatile pen of C. W.
Lewis:
“There’s sompin kind o hertylike
about the atmosphere when the
winter time is over and the summei
sun is here. Of course we'll miss
the snowballs and the blizzard in
the breeze and the hummin of the
snow birds that hang around with
civic ease. But the air’s so appe
tizin and the sun shines thru the
haze tlio the city’s full of harshess
about city council ways. It’s a pic
ture that no painter has the eolorin
to mock when the sun shines on the
pumping plant and the experts take
a walk. The husky rusty whistle
sounds adown newspapes row, and
the graspin of the grafters makes
the city council glow. The clerk’s
office of the future’ll be lonesome
like but still, some ‘ill preach their
sermons to us to boost him up the
hill. The Council’s in a muddle
with the strong box almost dead
and the horses in the firehouse and
the prisoner on his bed- Oh it
sets my he&rt a clicking like the
ticking of a clock when the sun
shines on the pumping plant and
the council takes a walk.”
They liad refused to give him any
compensation. He was too poor to
sue and he had not been able to
make a living so he concluded that
I13 would make the street car people
act more carefully In the future,
even if he sacrifleced himself ta do
it.
