paying the incidental expenses Of "toy
soldiers" He would vote against the bill.
Ciaypool vehcmently and Indignantly
repudiated this slur on the National Guard.
There were !, 100 young men in this state
men through whose veins flowed the best
blood in the state When emergencies
arose the militia were found equal to them.
Iheir answering devotion to duty at
seattle, Vancouver and Spokane Falls was
proof OF their efficiency.
Esheiman, the eloquent senator from
Yakima and Klickitat. believed that the
National Guard was Justly entitled to this
appropriation. He had never met q finer
body OF men than those composing the
militia Of this state.
smith of Whitman then arose and
frankly acknowledged that he was wrong
to term the militia ''toy soldiers and
apologized for it. He wanted all the boys
to know that he was their friend, and if q
Dill were introduced making an appropria-
ton to pay them for their services at Spo-
kane and Seattle he would gladly vote for
1t, but he was q friend Of the taxpayers,
and some day these taxpayers would want
to know II these sums turned over to the
militia did not go to pay for sleeping-car
berths, hundred-dollar desks, etc
On motion of Dyer the committee of the
whole arose and reported the bill back to
the Senate with the recommendation that
1t pass. 1t was then passed unanimously.

It may be done. Tide lands are divided

The principle Of this bill-shutting of
the prior right of purchase with the first
street-was persistently advocated last
year by Speaker Feighan and others from
Eastern Washington after it became evil

upon protecting the shore owner. The
proposition was defeated by decisive

THE FIRST VETO MESSAGE.
Disappearing Act Requiring Land-Own
Inc Incorporatious to File Papers.


OLYMPIA, Feb. 2i.-tSpecial. Acting
Governor Laughton this morning sub
mitted his first veto message, returning to
the House without his approval House
bill 9s, by Schrieker," AN act to require cor
porations owning lands in this state to file
q certified copy of articles of incorporation
with the county auditor" The governor
objects to the bill, first, because the title
applies to corporations now owning lands
in the state, and the body of the act refers
also to corporations hereafter acquiring
lands. The bill itself provides that no cor
poration shall own or dispose of any lands
In this state until it shall have filed, ETC.,
and in this respect the main objects OF the
bill are not expr essed in the title.
second objection is that the bill is con-
trary to wise policy, and might subject
corporations that have heretofore acquired
land in the state, To unnecessary hardship
in disposing of them. The third oblec-
ton is that any corporation failing to COM
ply with the provisions of the act, and
thereafter attempting to sell land, convey
no title whatever, and the penalty would
Tins fall upon the innocent purchaser, and
not the corporation. The veto was sus-
tanned, 81 ayes, nays.

NAPA, CAL, Feb. 24.-The contents Of
Mrs. Greenwood's stomach at the time of
her death have been analysed and proven to
contain both chloroform and arsenic in q
quantity sufficient to have killed her. It
was noticed when she was discovered that
no blood had come from the bullet hole IN
her head, and it is now evident that she
was dead at the time the men shot her.
Captain Greenwood was also given some of
the poison, but it nauseated him and he
threw it up, thus saving his life. News is
daily received of some new party who has
been arrested for the crime, but thus far
the right men have not been found.
