Ruler of Jolo, One of the PHILIPPINES,
Dies of Cholera,
BY a Treaty Which Was Signed in
August, 1899, He Was Allowed to
Continue His Reign and Was Re-
nunerated by the United States
Government.

Manila, Jan. 19.-The sultan of
JOlo died recently of cholera. His
mother went to Jolo as a slave. Her
case has been compared with the
rise in power of the dowager empress
of China. She once asked the Phil
ippines commission for position, in
order to enable her to protect her
son in the sultanate. By treaty
which. as one of the sequels of the
Philippine war signed in August,
1899, the sovereignty of the United
States over all this sultan's domain
was recognized, but he was allowed
to continue the sultan business at
the old stand, and he was put on the
federal salary list.

Columbia, S. c., Jan. 19.-After

editorial staff of the State and the
surgeons were present. A few mo-
ments after the end came it was
known all over Columbia. There was
no apparent anger, nc display of ex-
citement, but an unnatural quiet is
noticeable throughout the city. This
morning DR.. w. Gill Wylie, after con-
sulting with Drs. Guerry and Barren
and members of the family, decided
to try the experiment of an interave-
nous injection of formaldehyde At
9 o'clock the injection was made and
it was known that favorable results
in the arrest of perito1itis, if they

Great Falls Crook Is Spotted by Day
PatroIman,
WHO PENETRATEs HIS DISGUISE
And Lands West, the Tamale Man,
In JaiI-West Was a Chicken Thief
on Big Scale and Midnight
Marauder-His Partner SqueaIs on
Him

Ralph West, alias James Clark,
wanted in Great Falls on the charge
of burglary and being a general all
round crook, was arrested in this
city early Sunday morning. Officer
Madsen made the capture and made
his man prisoner while he was yet in
bed at his room in the Conrad house.
West had been in Kalispell and vicin-
ity or some time and had been work
ing at Schlagels mill, west of Kalis-
pell. where he passed under the name
of James Clark. While here he had
been in correspondence with a Great
Falls woman and this led to his ar
rest. His description had been given
to the officers here. as having sew
eral teeth out and finger off his
right hand. Since leaving Great
Falls, however, he had false teeth
placed in the vacancies in his Jaw,
greatly altering his appearance, and
as he always kept his right hand hid
den as much as possible, some diff
Guilty was experienced in reconciling
the description. He made no resist
ance when arrested, and claims to be
able to prove his innocence. Chief
Police Cook of Great Falls arrived
last night after West and will take
him to that city tonight.
The story of Vests alleged crimes
in Great Falls is as follows:
Early IN the morning of Sunday.
December %, bold attempt was
made by two burglars, supposed to
be West and "Wheezy" Connors, to
enter the store of P. Shannon, in the
Luther block. The burglars were
surprised and pursued by Chief Cook
and Connors was captured, but West
escaped, and it was learned that a
few hours later. he was in Havre and
left on train for the west. Ever
since then the officers of the north
west have been looking for him, and
when he appeared in Kalispell he
was taken into custody.
When Connors was first arrested,
he insisted that mistake had been
made and that he was not guilty of
any crime, but since he has been in
Jail for three weeks he has weakened
and divulged information that will
convict both him and West, not only
OF the attempted burglary of the
Shannon place, but also of the theft

some APPROPRIATION BILLS PASSED
But Nothing Else Has Been Done During the Two Weeks Of
the Session Worthy Of Comment--Supren1e Court
Commission Bill Passed the Senate

Helena, Jan. 19.-Their pay, at
least. is secure-the house today
passed its first bill. which appro
PIRATES the amount of $4,000 or as
much of it as is necessary for the
mileage and pay of members and en-
ployes. Tonight it passed It's second
bill. appropriating $4,000 for the in
cidental expenses of the legislative
assembly. These bills met with the
hearty support on the part of all fac
tions and parties, and were adopted
under suspension of rules. The
appropriation bills will doubtless
pass the senate tomorrow, and on
Wednesday the members and EN-
poyes will be getting first pay.
The senate killed one bill today
and passed five. The most important
of the bills passed was one providing
for supreme court commission of
three members. The members are
to be appointed to assist the supreme
court in its work. so that the bust
ness of the court. which is about two
years behind, may be expedited. The
supreme court will assign certain

cases to the commission for hearing
and will subsequently affirm their
judgment. The members of the COM
mission will be appointed by the su-
preme bench, and will probably be
two republicans and one democrat.
They will be appointed for four
years and each will draw a salary of
$4,000 year In addition there will
be clerk, drawing $2,4OO.
The house. in addition to passing
appropriation bills, killed five bills.
The most important of these. or at
least the one which was of most in
terest was introduced by OKeefe of
Deer Lodge, providing that attorneys
fees for collection by law be made a
part of the judgment. That was the
first of the bills of interest to come
before the Legislature, and it pro-
voked the first debate In the house.
The labor men We're strongly in favor
of the bill and it received other sup
port likewise. The Silver Bow dele
cation was divided on the PROPOSE
ton. the labor republicans voting for
the bill and the antitrust democrats
against it.

made to pass it, but Speaker White
ruled that the bill must be printed
to be legally passed. 1t was sent to
the printing committee with instruc-
