Seattle Waterways May Now Be Ez

Seattle Waterways May Now Be Ex-
cavated.
Olympia, April 22.-The supreme
case of Schlopp VS.. Commissioner of
Public Lands and the Seattle & Lake
Washington Water Company, thereby
permitting the company to proceed in
the excavation IF the waterway under
the law of 1898. In October last the
state, through the commissioner of pub
lie lands, contracted with Eugene Sem
pie for the excavation of waterway
from deep water in Elliott bay to Lake
Washington, the material excavated to
be used in filing the tide lands in front
of the city of Seattle. The contract
was let under the act of 1898, prodvi-
ing for the excavation of waterways by
private contract. In February second
contract was executed for the excava-
tion of waterways not mentioned in
the first. This action was brought to
restrain the defendants from perform
ing the work commenced, or from tres
passing on the tide lands, and to pre-
vent the commissioner of public lands
from issuing to the defendant company
certificates of Indebtedness for the work
performed, which under the law would
stand as liens against tide lands i'm
proved. The plaintiffs contentious
were that the contract was invalid, ow-
ing to the manner in which the cost of
bulkheading is apportioned, and that
the form of certificates does not con-
form with the law. All these objec-
tions the supreme court overrules, and
holds that discretionary power in car
rying out the law is vested with the
commissioner of public lands, and it is
presumed he will not abuse his power.

THE BIcYcLIsT's DEATH.

Little Doubt That Bicyclist Lenz Was
Murdered by Kurds in Armenia.
Pittsburg, April 23.-Relatives of
Frank Lenz, the Pittsburg cyclist who
was making trip around the world on
his wheel for Outing, are now con-
vinced he was murdered by the Kurds
in Armenia at the beginning of the
massacre there. T. P. Langhans, cou-
sin of the wheelman, has just received
letter confirming this belief. The
letter is written by an American mis-
sionary in Armenia, but his name can
not be given for fear the letter might
find it's way back to Armenia, and his
life would be endangered, because he
confirms the SPECIAL Armenian letter OF
the Associated Press of last Friday.
The missionary says the situation is
serious, and danger is imminent. He
says the Armenians intend to fight for
their liberty. Speaking of Lenz, the
missionary says he has reliable informa-
ton that he was killed last May at
Koordal, on the Alshgard plain, neal
the famous pass of Del Babaka. The
missionary talked with man who
says Lenz arrived at Karakalessen on
what the native said was two-wheeled
cart. Two days later the man saw the
dead body of the wheelman at Zedikan.
From the description given, there is
little doubt it was the body of Lenz
The missionary has sent for three
men who also saw the body, and expects
to be able to tell just how Lenz met his
death

IN VARIOUS MARKETS
The Slump in Crude Petrol.
cum Continues.
SPECULATION IN OIL DECLINING
The Late Transactions Demonstrate the
Fact That the Monopoly Will
Fix the Price of Crude Oil.

Pittsburg, April 23.-The Standard
Oil Company reduced the purchasing
price of credit balances at its agencies
to 1926 this morning. This-is 5 cents
less than it paid yesterday, and 35 cents
less than the price of Thursday. This
still further demonstrates the fact that
the monopoly will fix the price of crude
oil, and that those who trade in any of
the outstanding certificates are taking
quite risk if they think they can make
a price that the Standard will have to
follow. This reduction caused another
big slump in exchange prices. May
oil opened at So. 20, and gradually drop
ped to $1.97, the latter price being the
close. Not single trade was reported
on the local exchange. At Oil City the
trading was also very light, the market
declining to $1.97 on the few transac
tions made. The Standard bought all
credit balances offered at $2.25 today,
and some certificates Of oil on the Oil
City exchange as low as $1.98. This
also goes to show that some people do
not care about holding certificates at
present for higher prices, while the
Standard is reducing the purchasing
price. The stand taken by the Stand
ard in the last few days will surely stop
speculation in certificate oil. Hereto
fore producers would demand certif-
cate for each 1000 barrels run in the
pipe lines. The certificates were placed
in the hands of brokers on change, who
would sell them for better price than
offered at the Standard purchasing
agencies. Now the exchange prices are
so erratic that instead they are holding
certificates, hoping for better prices.
On change the producers will do bust
ness direct with the monopoly, at what
ever price it considers oil is worth.
This will kill off Speculation, for,
without these certificates, and the STAN
dard now owns the bulk of them,
there will be nothing to speculate with
that represents any unusual value.

THE ROW IN THE ELKS.
All Differences Expected to Be Adjus
ed at the Buffalo Meeting.

All Differences Expected to Be ADJUST
ed at the Buffalo Meeting.
Cleveland, April 23.-The officers of
the grand lodge of the order of Elks
said today:
Indications are that the friction
which has existed in the order of Elks
during the past year will be settled, all
differences adjusted and the order be
stronger than ever. In accordance
with resolutions adopted at the meeting
in Chicago March 18, at which both
factions were represented, more than
200 of the 800 lodges of the order have
indorsed the action taken, and decided
to send grand lodge members to the
meeting to be held in Buffalo May 80.
Grand Exalted Ruler William Friday,
of Brooklyn, issued the call for the spe-
cial meeting stating that the sentiment
in the organization is to meet as broth
ers all questions of personal interest.
There is assurance from leading men,
bers that the Buffalo meeting will re-
suit in complete harmony in the
ranks
The Hon. A. Foran, who was attor
ney for the Atlantic City faction in the
recent litigation, says there is no truth
in the report of the probable settlement
of the difficulty. He declared the ac-
tion of the Cleveland lodge in instruct
ing that member of the grand lodge
be sentto the Buffalo meeting was il
legal, and that it will be reconsidered
at the next meeting. He says the con-
tests between the factions will be waged
to the end, and he is confident the side
he represents will win.

IN A PRIVATE MADHousE.

VIE Robbed of Her Property and
Incarcerated With the Insane.
Butte, Mont, April 24.-An evening
paper prints startling story about a
former well-known woman, Mrs. Jer-
ONE B. Westgate, having been locked
up in private madhouse at San Diego,
CAL, on charges trumped up by her
husband. About ten years ago the
woman owned large real estate interests
in Butte, but her health failed, and her
husband persuaded her to dispose of her
property and go to California. Since
then her friends and sister living here
have heard little from her. Some weeks
ago the sister received an anonymous
letter informing her that Mrs. West
gate was incarcerated in private asy-
lum at San Diego. The former at once
went to her sisters rescue, and secured
her release, and has just returned to
Butte with her. Mrs. Westgate is a
physical wreck. She says that just
after they settled in San Diego she in
vested her money successfully, while
her husband became worthless. She
threatened to sue for divorce and then
he schemed to get possession of her
property. He destroyed their marriage
certificate and denied that she was his
wife. She claims that he dragged her
and had her confined in a private asy-
lum and kept her in a solitary cell for
weeks. Friends charged her husband
with her murder, and in this way her
whereabouts were discovered. Mrs
Westgate has secured copy of her
marriage certificate, and will return to
San Diego to secure the recovery of her
property.
