TUG LORNE SEIZED.
Charged With Trespassing in
American Waters
GOV. FERRY TO RETURN SHORTLY


PoHr Towxnxp, April lA-fspecial l-Thers
Is much rejoicing here among local tug owners
over the fact that the British tug Lorne was
seised this morning. The seizure was made at
the instance Of Collector Bradshaw by Deputy
Bickford At Port Angeles, where the tug Is now
held Tho iirss Of the week the tug Lorne toTed
American ship Oriental from Cape Flattery TO
Tacoma, through American waters. Az soon as
Collector Bradshaw heard OF II he issued orders
that abe be seized By the FIRST deputy who had
opportunity. The case Is governed by section
$40, Revised Statute. which reads: "Au steam
tug boats not Of the United States found en-
pioyed In towing documented vessels OF the
United States plying from one port or place to
another shall Be liable to penalty Of 50 cents
per ton on the measurement OF every vessel 10
lowed by them respectively, which sum may be
recovered by way Of libel or suit- This section
shall not sppiy to any case where the towing, in
whole or In part, lies within or upon foreign
waters"
Such of5enses q that committed by the Lorne
have been condon&d heretofore, until last win
ter the American tug Mogul was fined 500 BY
Canadian customs ofziceu for similar trespass,
and when her owners pleaded ignorance Of tho
law, and the fact that the same odense had been
committed by the Mogul before, the fne was
doubled. All the American tug owners on
Puget sound joined In . protest against %
stringent IN enforcement Of the law, but It was
IN vain This is why American tug men are so
jubilant Captain J. Il. stetson. part owner of
tke Mogul, says one of the principal charges
20 be made against the Lorne is the fact that she
violated both state and United States sanitary
regulations BY not submitting to examination
by the health oficers in accordance with the reg
ulations governing Ill vessels coming from
foreign ports. Captain stetson is also chairman
OF the board Of pilot commissioners for Puget
sound, and he says our international laws and
treaty regulations are badly in need of modiaca-
ton, - ct present other civilized nations have
more rights in Fuca straits than We have.

The Best Spring Medicine

The peculiar requirements
of a Spring Medicine are so
pre-eminently possessed by
Hoods Sarsaparilla that is
by far the best for thispurpose.
We know that by its
Peculiar Combination. Pro-
portion and Preparation it
possesses unequalled curative
powers, and by its results it
is constantly proving its posi-
tive merit.
Hoods Sarsaparilla expels
from the blood all the impuri-
ties which have accumulated
during the winter, and also
cures scrofula. salt rheum
and other severe forms of
blood disease, inherited or
acquired. By its tonic and
eliminative qualities it so
assists the stomach and di-
gestive organs that it cures
dyspepsia, biliousness. etc.
1t also gives such strength to
the whole system that it
efectually overcomes That
Tired Feeling.

self for the purpose of getting the insurance
money. The suit was defended on that theory,
and although Pencil was acquitted Of the crime
of arson in the criminal court, the circum-

Suspicious, and it was shown in the testimony
that Pencil offered to pay one Of the witnesses
$500 not to testify against him In the criminal
trial.
