The third dance was called Fire" and
Yividly realistic effect was produced
by the lights cast about the dancer. who
seemed 10 fling flames from her that she
caught from the air. The dozen or more
yards of silk that La I4oie used as a
scarf produced the counterfeit of flame
that shot up about her from what seemed
10 be a sea of living fire and lost them
selves in the darkness above her head.
The last dance. the Lis du Nile" was
the most beautiful. The whltest dress
and the brightest lights were used, and
after a succession of changes OF coIors
the picture took on cast of radiant.

tirely obscured, threw the webby silk up
into the air until the picture was that of

ence of Greece continues. though most of

THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON
Mayor wood Is Missed From the
Board of Regents.

Seattle, April 12.-The election of Will
liam d. WOOD as mayor of Seattle robs
the University OF Washington OF one of
the best regents the institution has ever
had. For about cnree years he has been
one of the most enthusiastic, careful and
successful workers for the universitys
interests. AS chairman of the committee
on instruction and as d member of the
executive committee of the board he has
always been overwhelmed with work dur
ing the period of construction of new
buildings and the reorganization of the
faculty. The regents will miss him from
their meetings, and Governor McGraw
has a delicate duty to fill the vacancy
caused by the retirement of such a COM
petent officer.
The first oratorlcal contest of the year
takes place in Seattle on Wednesday,
April 10. The three judges are ex-Regent
and now Mayor William d. Wood and Re-
gent George Hyde Preston of Seattle,
and Regent 3. f. Houston of Tacoma
The contestants are as follows: r. NJ
Anderson, F. r. Bechdolt, A. j. Collins,
+. w. Smith, c. H. Steffen and Miss H
Wood.
The winner in this contest will repre-
sent the University of Washington in the
intercollegiate contest TO be held in Ia
coma May 10.
gold and silver medal are offered as
first and second prizes.
The university enjoyed a treat on Fri
day afternoon. Hon. Norman Buck
judge of the superior court of Spokane
county, and department commander of
the Grand Army Of the Republic, gave a
stirring, patriotic address to the students
and faculty assembled for the purpose.
Judge Buck was received most enthusiast
tically by the students
Arbor day will be observed at the Uni
Versity of Washington. A committee of
the faculty has been appointed consisting
OF Or. r. j. Hamilton, DIR. A. f. 15ech-
dolt, President NJ. w. Harrington, Henry
Fl. Hindshaw and Edmond S. Meany to
arrange the details for the exercises of
the day. 1t is proposed to plant a great
number OF trees on the new campus. as
we'll as to observe the day with an ap-
propriate program.
The suit of ]. S. Krape against the
University of Washington for $40 900 dam
ages is likely to determine a number of
points as to the legal status of the uni
versity as an organization. Mr.. Krape
was seriously injured while at work rails
ing a hagpole on the new campus Prob
ably the principal point in the issue will
he as to whether the university is a
corporation, as under the territorial laws,
or whether it is a regular state institu-
ton under the constitution and the new
laws
Attorney General Jones represents the
university, and the trial will probably
take place in the King county superior
court in a few days

Awful Death.

Newport, KY, April 10.--The trial OF
Scott Jackson, accused with AlonZo Wal
ling of the murder of Miss Pearl Bryan,
has begun at this place. and it is safe
to say this part of the country will be
stirred it has not been for years by
the story of a crime, the most cruelty
planned and most coldly and systematic
ally executed of any of the spectacular
crimes of recent years. The fate of Pearl
Bryan's killing, with it's incidents, sur
passes in horror the eXtravagances OF
Poe. The hideousness of this crime is ac-
centuated by the fact that all persons in
volved, are young men of liberal educa-
ton, considerable intellectual ability, and
some pretensions as to station and social
position. The unfortunate victim of these
monsters of blood outlines was young
woman of culture and refinement.
Pearl Bryan was killed on the night of
Friday, January 81. The following morn
ing the headess body of a young woman
was found in a field in the Kentucky
highlands, opposite Cincinnati, about a
mile south of Fort Thomas. The head
has not yet been found. There was no
clew but a check dress, corset and one
shoe The shoe was the sole clew of val

dealer Farmer A. B. Bryan, living near
Greencastle identified the shoe and dress
as the property of his daughter, Pearl

TURKEY DENIES THE STATEMENT
Missionaries VIII Not he Expelled If
They Behave Themselves.

Washington, April 12.-The Turkish le-
cation has received from the sublime
porte under yesterdays date the follow
ing cablegram:
1T has been falsely stated that the mis-
sionarles would be expelled, The imper-
ial government has not taken and does
not intend to take any general measure
of expulsion of missionaries and Catholic
priests. Those among them who attend
peacefully to their business are not and
will not be disturbed But surely, it can
not be the same for those who by their
attitude try to disturb the order and
tranquility of the country and place them
selves in open hostility to the laws and
regulations in force in the empire. The
imperial government, watchful of the
maintenance of public security has the
duty to send them away from its territory
and in so doing, it avails itself of a right
which in all justice nobody could con-
test"
