ADJUSTMENTS.


Young Mrs. Winthrop is making
very successful run at Cordray's. 1t af-
fOrds an object lesson in married life,
where love and harmony are shattered by
inconsiderate action on the part of both
husband aud wife, One follows the story
with wrapt attention throughout, not
because Of anything new that it reveals,
but because il appears so real and so like,
In many respects, the history of some whom
he has known. The final act is the
strongest in the play, and is excellently
treated by the Cordray company. The
reconciliation scene affords study of
pathetic acting which makes the heart of
every auditor beat in responsive sympathy.
Miss Isabel Morris and Francis Powers. in
the leading roles, are doing splendid work,
and their efforts are warmly appreciated
nightly.

Catholic Fathers and Nuns Testify
Against Laurentz and kleit.


Against Laurentz and kleit.
TACOMA, Feb. 4. - Especial -Auguste
Laurentz and Albert KIeit, charged with
scandalizing the Office of priest of the
Catholic church and obtaining money I'M
der false pretenses, were arraigned this aft
ernoon in Justice Sharps court. They
were represented by John Parker, and the
case was fought stubbornly in their be-
half. +. De Mers, a trustee of the Buckley
Catholic church, testified to the advent of
the impostors at his place. His doubts as
to their authority to perform the duties of
priests were first aroused by what he
termed an indecent story told by Laurentz.
who is 81 years Old. He said Laurentz
narrated how the Indians stripped him
stark naked and tied him to a tree. and
how female angel came down and loos-
ened the thongs. Later Mr.. De Mers' sus-
picions were stirred again when Laurentz
and kleit slept in one bed. He had been
taught that it was wrong for a priest 70

that there was no missionary work, such
as the impostors claimed 10 perform, " hich

Father Nightingale, a Tacoma priest,
who interviewed Laurentz at the jail, said
when he asked Laurentz for references
that he gave him the names of several
dead bishops and others high in authority
in the church. all of whom were dead
Among the papers found in Laurentz's
pockets was a double column list of names
OF potentates Of the Catholic church. One
column contained the names OF the dead
and the other of the living. Kleit told
Nightingale that he was Father Laurentz's
COOK.
At the evening session of the court Lau-
rentz gave his name as Martin Laurent

Order of Father of Jesus and Marie. and
claimed Nancy, France, as his birthplace.

America since 1850, he denied knowing
the name of the Catholic bishop Of Wash

THE PUYALLUP RESERVATION.
Senator Allen Presents a Petition for
Removal of Restrictions.

WASHINGTON Cry, Feb. 4.-ISpeciai. /
Senator Allen today presented petition
from the commissioners of Pierce county.
Washington, urging that immediate action
be taken for the unconditional removal of
the restrictions under which certain In
dian lands in the county are now placed
in order that improvements may he made
in that county. In presenting this petit
ton, Mr.. Allen said:
This is the county in which the city of Tacoma
Is situated. The petition sets forth that it Ia
county of 5000 people, of which Tacoma is the
principal city. II reeites that an empire OF
wealth is contained within the county, and then
proceeds TO state that Immediately adjoining
the city OF Tacoma, at the head Of Commence
ment bay, lies the Puysllup Indian reservation,
body OF land about four by six miles, embracing
from 1000 TO 2000o acres This reservation lies
between the city OF Tacoma and the Puyallup
valley towns, the agricultural lands, coal mines
and lumber lands of the county. 1t states that
in order to reach Tacoma ii is absolutely neces-
ssry that highways be made across the Indian
reservation, and the county has imposed upon
itself during the present year tax OF 5000 Tor
this purpose. The Indians themselves, who by
allotment have become citizens, are as anxious
for these roads any one, and yet this great
section of country is exempt from taxation and
is detrimental to the development OF the county
OF the petition 10 that the restrictions placed
upon the alienation of this land may be re-
moved in order that the city and county may
have legitimate development / move that the
petition be referred to the committee on Indian
affairs as public document
TACOMA, Feb. Especial. Personal
advices received here today state that the
commission appointed TO inquire into the
advisability of opening the Puyallup
Indian reservation had reported in favor
of the proposition. Many Tacomans have
bonded land in the reservation, with right
to purchase the same when the restric-
tions were removed by congress. The re-
strctions prohibit the Indians from SELL
ing their lands. The opening of the reser-
walton, it is believed, will result in the ex-
tension of the city southwark and around
the head of the bay.
Peter Stanup and Jerry Meeker, two of
the wealthiest and most intelligent of Puy-
allup young men, will call a meeting of
the indians of the reservation tomor-
row afternoon for the purpose of securing
signatures to petition to congress TO open
the reservation. There are about 400 land
owners on the reservation, all of whom, it
is said. will sign the petition to open the
reservation.
