JOHNSON LOST HIS EYE.
Cutting ARRAY to He Argued Before
Supreme Court.

Attorney Edward Hawkins will go to
Olympia today to argue the appeal of Will
Young, colored, from the decision of the
superior court finding him guilty of at
tempting to murder Frank Johnson, also
colored.
The trouble between these two men oc-
Cured over white woman. Young ham
died his razor with great skill and sue
ceeded In cutting out one of Johnson's
eyes.
Young appealed to the supreme court,
claiming that Judge Jacobs erred in re-
fusing to instruct the jury that the de-
PENDANT might be found guilty of assault
with a deadly weapon under the informa-
ton filed. Attorney Hawkins says That
the jury was instructed that 1t might find
Young guilty Of the principal charge or
simple assault, or assault and battery, but
not assault with deadly weapon
Hawkins will argue to the supreme
court that the greater charge includes
the lesser, and that IL the assault with a
deadly weapon had not been excluded the
jury would probably have returned a YER
dict for this offense, instead of the great
er, as there were circumstances to be con-
sidered. THE jury" says Hawkins,
might have looked upon the case as one
more serious than assault and battery and
less serious than attempted murder, vet

to the mercy Of the elements.
Strong winds sent the pile-driver
flying up the water front where she at
length brought up against the British ship
Glendoon laying along the south side OF
Arlington dock. One Of the Glendoon'H
.life-boats was smashed and several small
steam and sail craft were ruthlessly brush

Meanwhile the Elm Branch's officers
were trying with might and main to get
the powerful steamship under control.
They succeeded In bringing her to an an
chorage standstill about 200 yards Off Yes

day. Sre will lay at anchor there until the
Moran dock is repaired and then resume
her position at the wharf for the compile

The big Alaskan liner Roanoke which has,
since the last severe storm, six weeks ago,
lain at anchor near the West Seattle shore
did not escape the fury of the elements.
She dragged her anchors fully half a mile,
moving out on line with Duwamish head.
Smaller steam vessels were violently beat
en- against the wharves to which they were
tied and the docks and warehouses got
such a shaking up as they have not had
in a twelve-month.
One water front authority declared yes

FRANK HAWKS Is ACCUSED
Well-knOwn Young Man Charged
with Larceny-Gr0vvs Out of
Dispute Over Property.

warrant was issued yesterday for the
arrest of Frank M. Hawks, a well-known
young man about town, on the charge of
is F. X. Masters. and from the story which
he tells, it would appear that the trouble
grows out of a dispute which he and
Hawks have been having over the pos
session of camera, guitar and dia-
mond ring
Masters claims that about October 1
Hawks came to him and tried to borrow
SIS. He says he did not have the money,
and he SO stated to Hawks. He claims
that Hawks then asked to borrow the
three articles from him. saying that F.
G. Johnson, an employe of the Seattle
the desired amount and take them as Sc
curity. Masters claims that Hawks re-
presented that he would have money
enough in thirty days to redeem the ar
ticles, and that with that understanding
he let him take the articles.
The thirty days passed, Masters says,
and after waiting some time, he asked
Hawks for the articles. He says Hawks
has promised many times to return them,
pay for them. Masters also claims that
Hawks has told conflicting stories as to
the disposition he made OF the articles.
He says he has learned that Johnson did
not loan Hawks any money on them.
Detective Cudihee has beeen working
on the case for several days, and yester-
day the matter was laid before the prose-
that a complaint was filed against Hawks
in Judge Cams court He was not ar
rested last night, but probably will be
today.

The recent purchase of 1000, 900 acres of
Washington timber lands from the North
ern Pacific by the Weyerhauser syndi-
cate was not, according to the direct In
formation of Eastern lumbermen, with
the view of holding the land for specu-
lativc purposes; but the primary object
was to find a location for the thirty or
more lumber mills owned by the syndi-
cate operating in the Mississippi valley.
where the timber Is becoming scarce.
That these mills will be moved one by
one to the new acquisitions on the Coast
as rapidly as the timber In sight at the
present locations is exhausted Is the gen.
erai belief Of all Mississippi valley lum-
bermen.
Among the most prominent in this trade
in the East are James McCrossen, OF
Wausau, Wis, and T. b. Curran e. Son,
Of Rhinelander, Wis, who arrived yester-
day and are at the Butler. They are
here for the purpose of securing timber
lands, on which they will locate timber
mills and engage in the manufacturing
business. Both. are large operators.
1--WE are forced out of the white pine
forests of Wisconsin on account of the
scarcity of timber" said Mr. McCrossen
yesterday. 1.-THE coming timber district
Of the world Is on the North Pacific
coast. and lumbermen all over the United
States are aware Of It. A few years
ago we bought timber LANDS IN this state
for speculation, but 1t is not so now. A
majority of the Eastern lumbermen who
have made recent purchases Of timber
land here did not buy for speculation. but
to have a place to move their mills when,
within year or so at longest, their
home supply Of timber will be exhausted.
There will be an enormous number Of
lumber mills come to the Coast within a
few years. The Weyerhauser purchase
hung fire SO long, Mr.. Weyerhauser told
me. because the Northern Pacific asked
that 1t be perpetually given the manu-
featured product to haul. Mr.. Weyer-
hauser would only make a contract CIV
ing 1t the product for forty years.
"A greater portion Of the Weyerhauser
purchase in this state will be used up by
their own mills, now operating in the
Mississippi valley. Twenty or more Of
their mills will be moved here within a
few years, as their visible home supply
gives out. There are many millmen in
the East who are looking to find timber
land on the Coast. Like ourselves, they
are winding up their business prepare
tory to coming out here. All who can
will locate plants.
For my own part. I am DESTROYS Of
securing tract on which to locate a
large mill. We have ample capital be-
hind us to get what we want, If it is In
the market"

ADJUSTMENTS.


Continued evidence of Frederick warde's
popularity, personally and professionally,
was manifested last evening by the audi
ence that filed the Seattle theater. The
play presented was Shakespeare's Romeo
and Juliet" production that will ever be
well received when rendered by competent
artists, such as appeared In last nights
performance. With the exception of the
first there were calls before the curtain
at the close of each act and of many Of
the scenes
The support. as whole, well upheld the
star casts and the play moved along
smoothly and to the well-pleased appre-
citation of the audience. Mr.. Warde is
perhaps, more effective in other of his
tragedy roles, but his rendition of Romeo
is a studied production and he faithfully
presented the varying emotions OF this
typical lover in his triumphant and de-
spairing moods. Breaking away from the
gloom that enveloped him in the opening
scene, where he was rallied SO merrily by
Mercutfo he entered into the esctatio
stage of his love for Juliet with the nat
ural abandon and exaggeration of Italian
youth.
From the tender balcony scene to the
tragic ending at the Capulet tomb, ne sus-
tanned his wel-won reputation as AN actor
of comprehension and power. 1t is need
less to recapitulate the play itself. for
every one Is familiar with 1t and the un-
doubted approval Of . well-dressed audi.

Commissions Abolished, and Wars
Considered at an End.
Apv,cEs CONE FROM THE EAST
Local Representatives Say There 10
No Longer Any Necessity for the
Portland Meeting-New England
Gut Rates to Seattle Are Taken
On-Settlers' Rates to Walking
tom VIII Remain Unchanged.

Telegraph advices received at local trans
continental railway offices yesterday an
nounce an agreement between all rail-
road lines of the United States to abolish
the practice of paying commissions to
agents or any other persons for passen-
ger business In this action, 1t is be-
lieved, and in fact it has been the pri-
mary cause for so doing, the main dis
turbing element in passenger rate wars
has been eradicated.
The effect in local railroad circles, 1t Is
said, will be to do away with the neces-
sity of the Portland meeting Of Western
representatives, which was to have been
held Immediately upon the return Of Cen
eral Passenger Agent Hurlburt, of the
Oregon Railroad & Navigation Company,
from the East There will now. 1t is said.
be no need of an agreement between local
lines to dispense with outside agents, as
the general agreement does this effectively
as far as their ability to manipulate rates
is concerned.
The new state of affairs, ii Is affirmed
by local railroad men, does away with any
dangers of a passenger rate war in Seat
tie from this time on. All lines in this
territory, as we'll as in all other territories
that have recently been disturbed, are put
on an equal basis for securing business,
and the tariff hereafter will be the only
price at which tickets to all points in the
East, South and North will be sold from
Seattle. The circulars verifying the local
advices will probably not reach here in
several days. The date set for the new or
der to become effective is February 1.
In this same connection wire advices
have been received stating that the special
rate of 1888 from New England to Seattle.
that has prevailed during the rate war in
the East has been withdrawn and In its
place new rate Of $3.50 put in. This
is evidence that with the abolition of COM
missions the Eastern war to the Coast
has been terminated. The present rate OF
$3.50 is. however, s13 less than the regular
tariff, which is accounted for by the fact
that in the settlement the Eastern lines
recognized the refusal of the Great North
ern to advance its tourist or settlers rate
of $25 from st. Paul to Washington, and
are now using that rate for basing pur-
poses. 1t Is also stated that the settlers
rate has been permanently settled, and
the Canadian Pacific. Northern Pacific and
Great Northern will hereafter sell from
st. Paul and intermediate points on their
lines at SIS as a minimum rate
Inc Great Northerns refusal to adopt
the rebate plan for the protection of local
rates on settlers tickets, has resulted in
the abolition of rebates on all lines OPP
Grating to the Coast. and fiat rates of local
tariff between stations where the rate is
less than $25, and the settlers rate where
the local fare exceeds that amount, will
hereafter be charged on all lines.

old grievances and present a claim to the

speaking of the matter yesterday he said:
The Blackfeet will lay claim to about
q. 100000 acres OF Montana land under the
treaty of 1855. They will attempt to show
that this amount was taken from them in
1874 without compensation.

BUNKO MAN FOUND GUILTY.
Prosecuting Attorneys once Wins
Its First Big Victory Before
Judge Benson.

Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Hart
was the recipient of many congratulations
yesterday upon the verdict of the jury in
Judge Benson's court finding Hiram Hill
ger guilty of stealing $61 from Thomas
Daley.
This is the first bunko man that the
incumbents of the prosecuting at
torney's office have succeeded in convict
ing, and in SO doing have established that
when one person obtains anothers money
by means of trick or device and carries
it away he is guilty of larceny. Daley lost
at a game of cards in which he had four
queens. Hilger four kings and another
man four tens.
Hart, land Daley had not the slightest
chance of winning. / contend that such
state OF affairs constitutes larceny"
Andrew Sampson and s. Kilbric, who are
still in jail on the same charge as Hilger,
will be tried soon.

ACTOR wARDE TO LECTURE.
VIII Address High School Pupils
This Morning.

Frederick Warde, the eminent Shake
spearean actor, who is playing at the Sc
attic theater, will address the pupils Of
the high school at o'clock this morning.
"Eloquence as Illustrated by Shake
speare" will be his theme
Mr.. Warde has been said to be even bet
ter as lecturer than when interpreting
the bard of Avon on the stage. He has
for years held the high regard of the pub
lie in both. and whenever he is In a city
long enough to have the time, strong eff
forts are always made to induce him to
analyze his illustrious mentor before edu-
Gators and Shakespearean students 1t is
therefore believed that when he appears
at the Central school assembly room this
morning he will be greeted by a large au-
dience.
