THEY TANNED HIS SKIN
Cuticle of Tom BIanck Made Into
Pocket Books
Novel Proceeding Allowed by the Authorities
in Seattle Which Will Astonish
the World

TACOMA, Wash. May 1.-The cutice
OF Tom Blanck. the desperate who held
up the King county jailer at Seattle with
a wooden gun recently and turned half
dozen murdelers loose, has been tanned
and will be made into pocket books. The
people of Sumner, near where Blanck was
killed with rifle bullets when captured,
say it is an attempt to immortalize a
red handed murderer They accuse i.
physician Of that place of having charge
of the tanning of the human skin. They
say he presented enough of Blanck's hide
to M. Kelly OF Sumner to make pocket
book. 1t is denied by some that Blanck's
cuticle was removed. but it is admitted
by others that enough was tanned to
make three to half dozen pocket books.
AS soon as it was learned that pocket
books made from the murderer's skin
could be had, there was a decided de-.
mand for them, especially among police
officers who took part in the two great
man hunts, the latter of which resulted Z
in Blanck's capture.

THOSE NEW WARSHiPS
The Disagreement of the Board of Engineers
Regarding Designs


WASHINGTON, May 1.-For the first
time in it's history the board of naval bu-
reau chiefs have come to an absolute dis
agreement. and have been obliged to SO
report to Secretary Herbert, leaving him
to determine which side is right
The disagreement grows out of the de !
signs OF the six new gunboats for which
plans We're prepared by the construction
bureau. There are two reports on the
subject. one signed by four members of the
board. totally disaprpoving of the plans.
and one signed by two members, vigor-
ously upholding them. The four mem
bers objected that the boats proposed will
draw fourteen feet of water, and SO would
not meet the requirements of the act of
congress which describe them as light
draught gunboats. They also hold that the
fitting of the vessel with a complete full
sail power is mistake, as the experience
of the department with such vessels as
the Adams shows that no steamer fitted
with sails can beat against the wind, and
therefore the sails will be almost useless
in average condi itons.
On the other hand, the supporters of
the plans undertake to demonstrate that
the vessels would be efficient and very
much more economical than the boats
without sails, arguing that the criticism
is founded on vessels not given full sail
power and giving figures to support their
assertions.

has prevailed very widely here even in
some official quarters, although the policy
of the government has been to accept the
good faith of Great Britain's representa-
tions.
The withdrawal Of troops from Corinto
and the departure of the fleet not only
ends all question of British territorial ex-
pansion in Nicaragua but also puts at
rest the fears entertained that the control
of the canal route would be seriously
affected by the proximity of the British
forces.
The affair has cost Nicaragua more
than the original ST. 500 1t was neces-
sary to use 800 extra troops al cost of
$4,000 per day. The abandonment or Co.

in much loss. The disturbances to busi-

an appointment with one Clarke, who
corroborated Quinlan's statement. These

police and the district attorney are con-

did not put in nearly all of their case

Durrant, repeated the story OF seeing him
in the church, sick and faint, late on the
afternoon Blanche disappeared.
DR.. j. S. Barrett, who performed the
autopsy. stated that Blanche died OF
asphyxiation. He said it was impossible
for her TO have been in delicate condi-
ton. Seven of the strangler's finger nail
wounds were on one side of her neck and
five on the other.

large number of Indians who threatened
to make trouble if any of the purchasers
of the land attempt to take possession.
The Puyallup Indians are recognized by a
decision of the u nited States circuit court
as citizens and they exercise all the
rights as such. with the single exception
that land on their reservation is held in
trust for them by the government, the
Indians only being allowed to enter into
a lease OF the same for period not to ex-
ceed two years. Great dissatisfaction ex-
lists among them on this account and
when the sale of lands began today, a
squad of redskins announced publicly
that the whites had not better take any
land.
John Laclare, one of the chiefs, said:
The land belongs to us. The viii te
father gave it to the dians; these men
come out here to sell it when we do not
want them to. We want to be let alone.
We are good Indians. II we want to sell

the good faith of Great Britain in her
declaration that there was no purpose of
occupying territory. From the first the
British authorities have assured Ambas-
sador Bayard and the latter has so ad-
vised Secretary Gresham. that there was
no purpose of aggression or of securing a
foothold in Nicaragua. The only purpose,
Earl Kimberly has said. was to collect a
debt by such force as was necessary and
to depart.
