prominent bankers, died at his home
last night after a short illness. For
more than 25 years past he has been
identified with the banking interests
of the city. As president of the old
Seattle National Bank he made this
one of the strongest banks in the
city. A few years ago when this
bank and the First National Bank
merged into the present strong
Seattle National Bank, Mr. Andrews
was made the, president, that other
pioneer banker, Jacob Furth, taking
the chairmanship of the board of
directors. Mr. Andrews was consid
ered one of the safest and most con
servative bankers in the state. He
was also greatly admire,d by men
generally. He never dabbled in
politics but devoted himself strictly
to banking affairs. He was a mem
ber of the University Club and for
a time was its president. He was
an enthusiastic golfer and a chartetr
member of the Country Club. Last
December Mr. Andrews felt the need
of a rest and took a trip East,
spending the Christmas holidays with
his son Ted in New York, the young
man attending a nearby college. He
returned in February much improved
and invigorated. Mr. Andrews leaves
a widow and young daughter, Mary

est and excitement yesterday, al
though there was no disorder. The

a parade in which 150,000 partici

was to give a government for all the
people and not for a few.
ROME, Aug. 22.—Intense interest
is taken in the approaching election
of a new Pope. Cardinals through
out the world have been noitfied of
the impending election and they are
hastening to this city. After the
death of a Pope the obsequies last
nine days. In the meantime the
cardinal eamerlengo assumes charge
of the papal household. The con
clave is held in a large part of the
Vatican palace. Once the conclave
begins the door is not again opened
until the election is announced, ex
cept to admit a cardinal who is late
in arriving. At 8 o’clock on the
morning of the eleventh day the
cardinals assemble in the Pauline
chapel, which is within the enclo
sure, and assist at the mass of the
cardinal dean. After that they
assemble in the Sistine. chapel,
where the actual voting takes place.
The usual form is a secret ballot,
and in it the successful candidate
requires a twro-thirds vote, exclusive
of his own. There are two votes
taken each day, until election, in
the morning and evening. On the
Sunday following his election,
known as Holy Day, the "papal
coronation” takes place, from which
day the new Pope dates the years
of his pontificate.
NEW YORK, Aug. 24.—The ex
pected break between Colonel Roose

effect that he has no personal griev
ance against President Carranza, but

that his contemplated resistance by
force, of arms and the practical
starting of a new insurrection has
been abandoned.

JUNEAU, Aug. 21.—Word lias
been received here that Congress
yesterday passed a bill validating
the territorial revenue law. This i
tax and revenue law, which was j
passed by Alaska’s first legislature, i
provides that the taxes due under its
terms shall be paid into the terri
torial treasury, under such rules and
regulations as the territorial treas
urer may prescribe through the
clerks of the United States district
courts of the. several judicial divi
sions who act as collectors of federal
fees and licenses. The United States
circuit court of appeals decided that
these, and other federal officials
may not act in territorial capacities.
This decision in no way effects the
validity of the taxes assessed by the
territorial legislature; it effects only
the method of their collection. This
defeat, however, has now been cor
rected by the bill passed yesterday.
This morning W. G. Smith, terri
torial treasurer, gave out the follow,
ing statement^,
“Even though the act validating
the poll tax law has been passed by
Congress no attempt will be made
to collect it this year, owing to the
fact that the time fixed by law for
collecion of poll tax expires on the
first Monday in August of each
year.”
