OLYMPIA LAND OFFICE scoRcAEp
Assistant Attorney General iIaight on the
Tacoma Mineral Land Matter.


POI land, Nov. 2l.-Assistant Attor.
General Haight of Washington. Is
r"dited with severe structures concern
ing the recent decision of the land office
at Olympia. which awarded Mcbride
valuable school land in Tacoma, ON the
ground that ii was valuable as mineral
land
He reviews the testimony on both
sides and points out that the local land
office ignores the testimony on the part
of the state and also reverses we'll ac-
cepted rules of the construction of evil
dence in considering the testimony for
the state, If, indeed, they gave it any
consideration at all 1t appears that
the Olympia land Office took it for
granted that Mcbride could have no OBJ
ject in showing that gold in paying
quantities was to be found on the sec
ton in question.
Haight also severely and adversely
criticizes the action of Ex-Governor
Swineford. special government agent,
| and cites telegram sent by Governor
McGraw to Washington regarding
Swineford's action, in which he
speaks of Swinford appearing as at
torney for Mcbride; also of Swiuford's
having secured an order giving to both
parties to the action only three days
in which to begin arguments, when it is
manifest that the stenographer could
not possibly have transcribed the evil
| dence in that time
Haight quotes Governor McGraw as
| expressing the belief that ultimately
the non-mineral character of the land
will be proved and finally, after the
inevitable appeal of the case, it will
revert to the state for the use of the
| school fund.
| The state has forty days in which to
| appeal to the commissioners of the
| general land office, and after that gen
| tleman has decided, twenty days foi
appeal to the secretary of the interior.
The evidence, according to Haight
shows that the assays by the state Were
| certainly tempered with, but the local
land office did not choose to take this
| fact into consideration.
| Altogether it is a severe criticism OF
the United States register and receiver
at Olympia.

NEW STREET SWEEPERS.

Superintendent Smith OF Public Works
went to Boston Saturday to inspect new
street sweeping machine, made by the
Universal Street Sweeping Machine Com
pany, which Is supposed to pick up its
swcepings by means Of hopper al the
rear and lodge them, by bucket and end
less chain arrangement, in a
covered receptacle on the body of
of the wagon from whence they are
dumped into tip cart alongside. The
covered box holds double cart load OF
oirt and tho weight of the machine is so
much in excess OF the ordinary sweeper
that three horses are required TO draw it.
Mr.. Smith IL not satisfied that the new
machine is as yet in practicable
form for use on Providence streets
for several reasons. The expense OF run
ming one OF them is more than double
that attending the use of our light ma
chimes. The machinery is compl licsted
and the breaking of a single bolt would
incapacitate IL wholly, and il is
not adapted to the rough cobble-
stone psvements OF Providence.
However, the experiment is yet in its in-
fancy aud after Boston has given il good
trial II may be found advisable to intro
duce IL here, says Mr.. Smith.

BURNEDTODEATH
Mother and Three Children
Perished in the Fire.
Bodies Found in a PiIe-BeIieved to
be Maniac's Work.

ELIzABErH, N. j., Oct. 15.-Four msm-
bers of the Harrigan family were burned
to death in their barn this morning.
The barn and house on the Harrigan
farm on Grier avenue on the outskirts
OF this city had caught fire. Some neigh
bors turned in an alarm, but the build
ings were outside the fire districts, and
before the firemen could arrive
1t was too late to save the
family. search was made for the family
but mo trace OF them can be found.
One OF the neighbors said that Mr..
Harrigan had gone to Newark this morn
ing on business. The rest of the family
consisted of Mrs. Harrjgan and three
children. After the fire in the barn had
burned itself out, the bodies OF the mother
and three children were, found burned 10
a crisp. The dead are:
The mother, Mrs. Jennie Harrigan, aged
30 years, and her children, Walter six
years, Willie four years, and Isabelle IA
months.
Their bodies were all in a pile. The
general belief is that Mrs. Harrigan be-
came suddenly insane from brooding over
her poverty and set the barn on fire.

The CHEERFUL. MAN.

Next to good breakfast with real
coffee there is nothing like riding down
town on car full Of pretty school girls
to make person feel good natured, !" said
the ,Wey bosset street business man who
went into his Office this morning without
groaning, and opened his desk without
wishing that IL was Saturday night again.
And then he told the head book keeper
why. He had taken his regular car way
over on the East Side aud rode as far as
Turks Head standing up between two
rows OF red checked damsels on
their way TO summer street and il was
fun TO hear them talk, tell each other
about the events OF the past as hours
since the weekly separation en- Friday
afternoon, and express their fears and
hopes as to the result of
the first hours recitation. There
are the next June graduates who
have but one year more and can talk ''old"
and give the rest the benefit Of their ex-
perieuce, ,and sandwiched in with them on
the same car seat are this terms beginners
who don't say much and hold their
fresh and new looking Greek
grammars and Caesars commentaries
with the titles out, so that the rest Of nc
passengers will know that they are really
in the High School. It's all very bright
and cheerful, and then the business man
who knew what car 10 take plunged INTO

ON THE TRAIL.
Detectives Hunting for the
Bold Train Robbers:

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-The investiga-
tion OF the Aqua Greek express robbery
has reached a point where ell officials
are very reticent as to the measures
taken for the capture OF the robbers.
]. Q. A. Herring, head OF the Philadel-
phia division OF the Adams Express
Company, has been at the Office hero re-
ceiving reports that are coming in from
the detectives who have been following
is waiting.
Several Washington detectives followed
mp what they thought was q clue. They
went down the river and examined q
large sail boat moored above Mt. Vernon.
This boat has been used by gang
OF men who have been together more or
less in the vicinity and some of them it
is said were convicts. The apparent
leader was familiar with the country
where the robbery occurred and with the
railroad. The boat was found practically
abandoned, but there was nothing about
it that indicated that it had been used
during the recent robbery, ex-
e~PN thht bHOl gun WAS
slowed away in it. 1t is Inspector
Hoilenburger's theory that IL the boat was
used ii was merely TO connect it with an
other in the river which carried away the
train robbers.
Police authorities here do not take any
stock in the alleged theory that George
Carter, n crook with a well known police
record, has had anything to do with
the robbery, because he is SO well
known that trainmen and nearly any citi-
zen living along the road would have been
sure to recognize him. IL Is believed
that the train robbers, after the hold
up, mingled with the small craft in
Chesapeake Bay and then became prac-
tically lost to pursuit until the affair
quieted down.
The Washington detectives express con-
fidence that ult imately the men will be
caught.

CHEAP WH|SKEY.
Fair Quality From Sugar
Beet M0Iasses.


OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 15.-The Cdlumbia
Distilling Company, the strongest enemy
of the Whiskey Trust, has made public the
results OF an experiment yesterday by
which they produced very fair quality
Of spirits from sugar beet molasses.
The success of the distillation is moro
important from the fact that it will at
ford additional profit to the sugar manu.
facturers and chespcn the manufacture
Of wbiskey. The initiatory steps
in the manufacture of sugar spirits
was taken several days ago
when the first car of the molasses was Sc
cured and the contents drawn of into the
immense vat in which the alkali had been
gathered in the soil from which the beets
had grown, and neutralized.
Then the raw molasses is added to about
ten per cent. Of malt and yeast and =
quantity OF the chemical preparation
which is depended on to convert the salts.
1t is left In the watts for a short time until
the alkali Is transformed, when the pro-
cess OF fermentation begins and it il then
pumped into one OF the large fermenting
watts where 1t lies for not more than ~
hours until the process of fermentation Is
complete. The process was never before
tried in this country, though it has been
in Europe. The Trust claim it is no
cheaper than the other process aud il of
little account.
