SEATTLE PIONEER
DIES SUDDENLY
ON TRAIN
SEATTLE, May 19.—Harry J.
Collins, who died suddenly on a
Great Northern train yesterday
morning while going through the
tunnel under the city, was one of
the best known business men In
Seattle. In the tile and mantel
business he was a pioneer. The
entrances of many of the large
buildings, among them the Col
man and New York blocks, were
his work.
■ On several occasions Mr. Col
line'- has had trouble with his
heart, but never thought it ser
ious. He was feeling unusually
well last Sunday. and Monday.
BUDDIST POPE EXILED
THE DALAI LAMA
The dalal lam*, the deposed
ruler of Tibet, Is still rusticating
at Darjeellng, India, to which place
he fled when the Chinese troops
entered Lhasa, the sacred capital
of Tibet. v : s . ;
' Before the English invasion, 'In
1904, Tibet was the only unexplor
ed Inhabited '. spot on the globe,
and the dalal lama was held , In !
awe by both the Chinese and Ti
betans. He was regarded by them
as the living reincarnation of Bud
da, and Duddhlsts believed that he .
held all nations In awe by reason
of his spiritual i power. Although
Tibet was a dependency of China,
the dalal lama had full civil and
spiritual sway. ,

nese naval officers and that Jap
anese engineers resident in this
country had marked every tunnel,
culvert and bridge on the trans
continental railroads in the moun
tain pases for demolition. The
severance of communication with
the East, the speaker declared,
would offer opportunity to Japan
to pour an army of trained sol
diers through to the mountain
passes and so fortify them that no
force we could raise could force
their dislodg-ment. This startling
statement, the speaker challenged
the government to deny, as even
differing from reports made to
the government by military ex
perts who had been detailed to
study out the problems of a Jap
anese invasion of tlae Pacific
states. -
WlUle paying tribute to Uie
militia of the, several states
for the efficiency In military
art acquired, Representative
McLachlan characterised the
sending of partly trained citi
zen soldiers against trained
regulars as "murder," and
the fact that in our wars the
government had sent armies
of men to the field unhabit-
Hated to the duties of a sol
dier, the sneaker said, made I
"this nation in its military
operations the greatest
spendthrift of life in ancient
or modern times."
The statistics of the civil and
Spanish wars, showing the deaths
from disease in. camps owing to
the troops being untrained in car
ing for themselves in the field, '
was offered' by the speaker In sub
stantiation. The danger "of rely
ing on militia, unsupported by a
sufficient force of regulars, was
Bet forth by the speaker in quo
tations from every national mili
tary commander from Washington
to the present chief of staff.
"It was not Individual coward-
Ice but collective fear which ran
from Bull Run," said the speaker,
who then drew a picture of the
same troops, who as raw levies
had fled from that battlefield,
withstanding without flinching the
terrific assault of Pickett's Vir
ginians at Gettysburg, as a result
of two years' training. Demand
ing that a sufficient force of regu
lars be stationed on the coast to
deter an enemy from attempting
an invasion, the speaker declared
that It was known to every naval
officer that the battle fleet could
not operate without the screen of
armored cruisers stationed' on the
Pacific,' and that In case of war
these ships would at once be or
dered to the Atlantic to complete -
the fleet and to prevent their own
destruction, an dithat the -Pacific
would be a clear roadway for an
Invader.
The occupation- . of the coast
states, with a possibility that they
would be forever separated from
the Union, was stated by the
speaker as almost accepted facts .

THE TACOMA TIMES
Stung, We Didn't
Go Through Comet
(Continued From Page One.)
The comet's tail was distinctly
visible when the moon set at 3
o'clock this morning, Prof. Hale
, declared. It curved through a
, great arc in the sky. To this
curve he attributes the fallacy of
the general scientific prediction
that the earth would pass through
the tail ystrday.
A dawn today th tall extended
from a position near the star Al
pha in the constellation of Aries
over one corner of the square of
Pegasus to the Milky Way.
No attempt was made to com
pute its length.
Maybe Tail Is Lost.
WILLIAMS BAY, Wis., May 19.
Halley's comet may have lost
some of its tail, perhaps all, ac
cording to Director Frost, of
Yerkes observatory, today. The
director declared that the earth
did not pass through the tail of

Director Frost said that the tail
still Is in the eastern sky, where
it showed from 10:38 last night
until 3:20 this morning. He also
admitted the possibility that it
had not yet begun the recession
Journey on its orbit. *
More Dope About It.
Frost declared that the appear
ance of the tall In the east after
it had been supposed to have pass
ed to the west means one of three
possibilities: First, the curvature
of the tall has grown bo great,
possibly by reason of the -earth's
attraction, that while the bead 1
has passed, the tail has not Jr^
Second—The comet may have
ceased its tail-making capacity,
like Boreal's comet of 1903, and
gone west, leaving its tail behind.
Third—All calculations may be
wrong and the comet may not
have passed us yet.

lly Peter Power.
That the socialist party of
America and Its allied branches Is
very much alive to Its opportunity
la shown by the national confer
ence being held In Chicago, be
ginning May 15. Several hun
dred delegates, directly repre
senting over 50,000 dues
paying members, and indi
rectly over 400,000 voters, are
called together for the purpose of
perfecting their organization and
formulating plans to push their
principles into every nook and
corner In the land.
The socialist convention is
notable in several respects. In
the first place, this gathering de
velops the fact that xthe socialist
party Is organized upon altogeth
er different lines than the repub
lican, democratic or prohibition
parties. The socialists have a
working organization, with an en
rolled membership paying average
dues of 25 cents a month and spe
cial assessments once or twice a
year, not to mention voluntary
contributions that average as]
much or more than the monthly I
In apportioning the delegates
among the several states the dues
paying membership, and not the
votes at the polls, serve as a basis
:of computation. Tho railway
fares are paid to delegates from
the various states out of the na
tional treasury.- This system also
applies to the federated foreign
speaking branches, such as the
i organizations of Finns, Bohemi
ans, Scandinavian, Italian, Jew
' ish, Polish, Lettish, etc.
Another fact Is that women
have the same rights and privi
leges as men to be elected as dele
gates ' and have a voice and vote
on the convention floor. There
i are.at least a dozen members of
the gentler sex prominent in the
party's councils.
f Among them \is Mlla T. May-
Bard, a popular writer and speak
er of Denver, and Kate Richards
, 'O'Hara of Kansas City, who is
well known as an orator and or
ganizer. Harriet D'Orsey of
. Lynn; Mass., is a plain housewife,
but with some ideas of her own
■regarding the best way to fill a
, market basket. Marlon Craig
Went worth, also of the Bay state,
Is a noted reader, and Mrs. Esth
er Laukki of Smlthville, Minn.,
is a school,-teacher. Margaret
Prevey of Akron, 0., is an opti
cian, who occasionally makes a
trip through the country to lee- '
ture and organize and who is a
most eloquent speaker. Grace
V. Sliver, a delegate from Maine,
is a proofreader, and Ella Reeves
Bloor of Connecticut is an Insur
ance agent, while ' Caroline A.
Lowe, a Kansas delegate. Is an or
ganizer. Winnie B. Ilranstetter
of. Oklahoma Is a housewife, and
Mrs. I". D. Cary of Washington a
milliner.
There are very few lawyers
delegates to this socialist conven
tion, but many farmers, miners,
printers, carpenters and other
mechanics, with a sprinkling of
ministers and physicians. A no
table figure is Joe Cannon, not
the erstwhile czar at Washington,
but a stalwart miner hearing tho
same name, who halls from Ills

The all-absorbing, dominating
and paramount question facing
the socialists is to educate and or

throw the private ownership of
trusts and monopolies, and substi
