HAS NOT CHANGED PLANS.
Grand Trunk of Canada Still In
tends 10 Build to Coast.


Seattle, Feb. 26.-G. T. Bell. general
passenger agent of the Grand Trunk.
with headquarters at Montreal, is in
the city. When asked concerning the
report that the Grand Trunk had
abandonel it's project to build a line
through to the Pacific coast, with west
ern terminals at Port Simpson, he said:
81 left Montreal January II, and
just short time before then President
Hays of the Grand Trunk gave out a
statement that the line to the coast
would he built, providing the necessary
franchises were granted. l have never
heard anything that changes that state
ment and 1 suppose the road is to he
built there at an early date. According
to Mr.. Hayes it would take three years
to complet' the line, and within that
time expect our trains will be in OPP
Grafton to the Pacific in connection
with our Eastern lines.
$50 far as the story that the line will
not be built unless there is land grant
is concerned, do not think there is any
truth in it.
"The proposed line, as you know,
runs through rich farming country,
north of the Canadian Pacific. There
is much development work to be done
in that part of the Canadian Northwest
before it would be profitable expert
ence. He viewer, there are such oppor-
tunities as would make it worth while
in the end'

net earnings decrease of 50, 1877 ZAP,

the coal miners strike last summer.
The report continues:
"The reckless, irresponsible element
throughout the anthracite region in
auguarted reign of lawlessaess and
terror, accompanied with murder, as
sault and outrage on individuals, in to-
tai disregard of the rights of persons

Elittted against persons and property
during this strike in Pennsylvania been
perpetrated on citizens of this state or
any other of these United States resid-
ing in foreign country and likewise
engaged in lawful pursuits, and the
government of such country had not
taken immediate steps to stop the same
and make prompt, full and satisfactory
compensation for the injuries done and
the wrongs suffered, can anyone posi-
bly, doubt that the entire army and ma
Wy of the United States would have
been called into active service, if neces-

such reparation, even though war

CURES LEPROSY.
American Physician Apparently Hits
Right Plan.

Washington, Feb. 27.-According to
United States Consul McWade, at Can
ton, ii has remained for an American
physician, DR.. Adolph Razlag, to dis
cover a means of curing and extermi-
mating leprosy. In a report to the state
department, the consul says that won
derful success has attended the efforts
of the physician and his work has at
tracted the attention OF the highest
Manchu and Chinese officials.
= This work began in June, 1902, in
leper village six miles distant from
Canton. OF four cases treated, three
have been discharged completely cured
and the last is making practical re-
covery.
The physician urges strongly the
adoption of his methods for the treat
ment OF lepers in the Philippines and
in Hawaii. The main features of the
treatment, which is shown in detail in
the consul's report, appear to consist
of minute and prolonged sanitation,
and the use of highly antiseptic drugs.

MUCH AMENDED
ANTI-GAMBLING BILL PASSED BY
THE SENATE.
Attempt Made to Amend 1t So That
1t Would Not Be Acceptable to
the HOuse---Rafiie and Lotteries
Are Included in FelOniOus Gam
bling.

Olympia, Feb. 27.-The senate pass
ed Representative Lewis bill declaring
gambling to be felony, but first
amended the act in way calculated
to strike terror to the hearts of all who
are engaged in the operation of gam
bling resorts at the present time in vi
olation of the state law. The bill pass
ed by the senate brings rafiles and lot
te, les under the same head as faro and
roulette and attaches the same penalty
to the operators of these games of
chance as it does to the operator of the
wheel or dice.
That the senate was very much in
earnest over the passage of this mea-
sure is borne out by the vote on final
passage, 90 voting for the bill, nine
against, and four being absent or not
voting. OF these four three were out Of
town.
Three separate attempts were made
to postpone action on the bill, inclnd-
ing one motion to indefinitely post
pone, one to make it special order of
business for next Tuesday afternoon,
and motion by Hamilton to adjourn,
each of which was defeated on roll call.
The opponents of the bill were given
one more opportunity to muster their
forces by Van de Vanter, who gave no.
tice that at the proper time he will
move for reconsideration of the vote
by which the bill was passed. This
should be moved on Saturday, but the
senate will adjourn this Afternoon until
Monday, so that the lobbyists working
in the interests of the gamblers will
have ample time to consult with head.

up in the senate.

REVISE ROAD LAWS.
Professor Roberts Goes to Olym.
pia to Confer With Leg.
islators.

Seattle, Feb. 25.-PrOfessOr j. w
Roberts, occupying the chair ri civil
engineering in the Washington State
Agricultural College and School of Sci
ence, at Pullman, has gone to Olympia
for the purpose of comforting with the
members of the legislature in regard to
the revision of the state road laws.
Professor Roberts has been in Seattle
for several days exchanging views with
leaders in the good roads movement in
this part OF the state.
"The movement for better roads in
the state of Washington" he said be.
fore his departure, "has called together
representatives from almost all the good
roads associations in the state to con-
suit with the legislature.
1.-THE people are demanding better
roads, and it is time to begin system
of road building that shall be perma-
nent. 1t is not logical plea that be-
cause Massachusetts and New Jersey
were 200 years beginning their perma-
nent and acceptable system of stone
roads that this state, only fifty years
old, must wait four generations to in
augurate plan suitable to its needs.
''Many good roads conventions have
been held in the state the past year,
and in every case the plea was made to
begin the construction of model macad-
amized roads. At the request of the
comittee on roads and bridges delegates
from these conventions are to meet at
Olympia to confer upon the proposed
legislation.
zone of the principe changes advo-
Gated in the presenat law is the reduc-
ton of the number of road supervisors
and road districts in each county, out
side of incorporated cities and towns,
to four. Where the expenditure exceeds
$500 the work to be done must be let
by contract, after estimates are made,
upon plans and specifications prepared
by the county surveyor. No state aid
for road construction proper is to be
asked at this session of the legislature.
1t is proposed, however, that a state
BOARD commissioner shall prepare maps
and profiles and estimates of the cost of
roads to be built by state aid hereafter.
such aid amounting to one third of the
cost of the road.
"The purpose of the legislation is not
to increase the taxation for road pur-
poses, but to apply business methods
in the expenditures and to secure engi-
neerinS skill in the selection of loca.
tions, and in the construction and
maintenance of the roads.
'It needs no argument to show that
any measure tending to improve the
highways of this state will benefit both
the producer and consumer, and wheth..
er they shall be macadam or Gelford,
or gravel roads, every interest cries out
Give us better roads.
"It seems hardly credible that as
much money is expended annually in
this state upon roads as upon our
schools, yet the records show this to be
true. We are proud of our school sys-
tenn, but to the average road we do not
point with pride. The schools are
taught and managed by those who are
trained for their duties''

Property Right in News.

Boston, Feb. 2s.-The right of prop
erty in. news was decided by the full
bench of the supreme court yesterday.
The court finds that anyone gathering
news or information at some expense
and furnishing it to daily subscribers,
orally or under contract, by which
they agree to hold it in secret conf
dence and tor use in their business, has
a valuable right of property which a
court of equity will protect against
those seeking to obtain it from its own
er without right and to his damage.

Finding OF House Committee on Con

tractors Charges.
Olympia, Feb. 27.-The special COM
mittee appointed to investigate the
foundation for the charges against rep
resentative Lewis Levy, of King county,
reported that the testimony given by
the contract printers was insufficient
to sustain the charges as true within
any degree of probability. This report
was greeted by applause when read in
the house, and it was adopted unapi,
mously.
Indiscretion on the part of Levy is
the most serious finding the committee
makes against the King county repre-
sentative. The report shows the Onion
of the committee to be that the print
ing contractors misconstrued any re-
marks Levy may have made to them,
and that Levy did not attempt to solicit
a bride from the contractors.

CHICAGO COPS GET BUSY
Failure at ~. Louis of "rurf Investmenc
Comp snie- starts a. . Moye-
meat.

Chicago, Feb 1.-THE police yester-
investment concerns. Three squads
of detectives got instructions TO raid
every alleged fraudulent truf invest
ment concern that was operating in
Chicago. One of the offices visited
was that of IL. Brolaski a. Co, 1856
Dearborn street Brolaski was there
and was taken i'm charge by the OIL
GERS. In the Office at the time were
two women who said they had made
investments and that they had been
unable to get their money back when
they called for II.
Another office visited was Benedict
& Co. No one in this office had ever
seen Benedict. but it was said that he
was probably at the main offices in
South Bend Ind. At all the offices
here were people in greater or less
number who complained that they had
invested their money and got nothing
for 1t. Some were lin" as high as ST.
0O0. 1t is believed that the losses
through these concerns will reach an
aggregate of hundreds of thousands of
dollars.
The cause Of the police activity is
the failure at st. Louis of several OF
these companies with the consequent
loss. it is said. of more than $1,000, 600
by their stockholders most of whom
are poor persons The failures at st.
Louis are these: f.. j. Arnold e Co.,
John J. Regain X Co. International In
vestment company. Christy Syndicate
Investment company, United Turf In
vestment company. The number of
persons losing money by these failures
is about So 400.
