Island Lighthouses.

BY proclamation dated December 2S.
1903 President Roosevelt directed that
all public property of the former gov
ernment of Hawaii ceded heretofore
to the United States, and consisting
OF lighthouses and public lands used
In connection herewith, light vessels,
lighthouse tenders. beaCons. buoys, sea
marks and their appendages and sup
plies and materials of all kinds pro
vided therefor be taken for the use
of the United States and that the De
partment of Commerce and Labor,
through the light house board. be
charged with all administrative duties
relating to the Hawiian lighthouse cs-
tabishment
Secretary Cortelyou at once cableG
the Presidents proclamation to the
governor Of Hawaii and informed him
that the Federal government would
assume charge of the Hawaiian light
house establishment January l, 1904.
The territorial government was
without funds to continue the light
house service of the islands after Jan
uary l. and the interests of commerce
and navigation required that the Fed
eral government should provide for
their maintenance from and after that
date.
The President December oath also
directed that the Department of Com
merCe and Labor take charge of the
lighthouse and buoyage within the linn
its of the naval reservation at Guam
tanamo bay, Cuba.

VICTOR PEOPLE
CONFISCATE WATER

Victor Colo, Jan. Pacing a water
famine. officials of the city proceeded
to reservoir No. s of the Colorado
Springs water system. on this slope OF
Pixies peak. and confiscated between
5000 900 and 5000. 900 gallons that re-
mained in the lake, turning it through
the headgate into Beaver creek,
through which it flowed into the Victor
reservoir.
A detachment of soldiers under Ma
jor NaylOr accompanied the Victor
men to prevent Caretakers of the Col
orado Springs system interfering The
city officials assumed responsibility
and will defend any action that the city
of Colorado Springs may bring for
damages for appropriation of the avail
able supply.
Reports from Colorado Springs that
half a billion gallons was drained from
the reservoir is preposterous, since the
Victor reservoir holds only 100000
gallons. The water secured will supply
the city for thirty days The city's
Bison Park reservoir contains 200, 600,
900 but the water is unfit for human
consumption and is being held ior fire
emergency.

hement scream. fell to the floor in a

ments. and after an argument present
ed by the district attorney the case was
given to the jury. DR. Rice was turned

EVENTS IN WASHINGTON AND
TRANSACTIONS OF CONGRESS-
Would RcFeal Land Laws.

Senator Gibson of Montana, leader Of
The movement in Congress Tor the repeal
public land acts was before the public
land commission and urged repeal of
the desert land timber and stone and
homestead Communication acts.
He called attention to the immense
areas OF lands being absorbed under
these laws. large portion of which is
going into the hands of corporations
and spectators, he said
Referring to the argument being
made that repeal of the land laws
would prevent further accumulation OF
funds for government irrigation works,
he said he would be pleased to see ir-
rigation works stopped rather than see
bad land laws retained on the statute
books.
He said the irrigation fund contains
sl6.O00.0O0 and is revolving or perpet-
ual. as money expended must be re-
turned by the bcnefiCiaries under gov
ernment irrigation enterprises. Even
should the source OF further increase be
cut OFF by land law repeal, the amount
would be increased to a considerable
extent by sales of timber. and while
the fund might be crippled il would
not be prostratcd.
Senator Gibson said he approved the
Ouarles bill, which proposes repeal OF
all land laws excepting the homestead
Representative Mondell also appeared
before the committee and called atten-
tion to the fact that Canada, through
liberal land laws is attracting large
numbers of settlers from this country
across the line into British Columbia
More generous land laws are needed in
this country to check this drain upon
farming communities
The land board will hold no further
meetings until after the return of its
members upon the live stock conven-
tions at Portland. Oregon, January llth
to 10Th. and will make no recommenda-
tiUns to Congress until that time.

ROBBERY AND MURDER MARK
OPENING OF NEW YEAR IN DENVER

Denver. Jan. 2.-Just as the whistles
were ushering in the New Year three
unknown men. bent on robbery. drove
up to the grocery store conducted by
Thomas NJ. Youngblood at 1915 Ala
media avenue. Valverde. in the south
crn part OF the city, and when met by
refusal from him to throw up his
hands, they shot and killed his wife.
mOrtally wounded his son. who came
running to his assistance, and after fir
ing a shot at Mr.. YOungblOOd, which
missed, escaped in their buggy. The
police ambulance was called and the
young man taken to the county hos
pital. where 1t was said he might not
survive the night.
Thomas NJ. YounEblCod. siXty-two
years old, lives with his aged wife and
his son and the latter's family, in
rooms back OF the grocery. Robert
ioungblood, the son, had retired with
his wife and four children. The grand
parents were just preparing for bed
having sat up later than usual to see
the old year out.
A knock startled the occupants of the
house, and Thomas Youngblood went
to the door. Two men stood there.
One asked If he might use the tele-
DHolt 10 thlI lOT uOClOT, ne olu
man threw the door open and both men
entered. AS soon as they were well in
side. both drew revolvers and after
commanding the old man to throw up
his hands they told him to bring them
what money he had in the store.
Thomas Youngblood refused to throw
up his hands and grappled with the
murderer The grandmother at once
began to scream for help from her son
With the most cold blooded wantoness
one of the thugs shot her through the
head, the bullet taking effect in the
mouth and ranging up through the
brain. She died instantly.
Almost at the same instant the first
shot was fired Robert YOungblood came
through the door of his sleeping apart
ments in his night clothes. No sooner
had he appeared than he too was shot
through the head. Fearing that the
noise of the shots would arouse the
neighborhood and result in their cap
ture. the murderers took the last shot
AT the old man as he started to bend
over his wife. The shot missed
Chief of Police Armstrong and De
tective Captain ConEor with several
policemen and detectives at once left
for the scene of the double murder.
and mounted men were started out
to scour the viciAity in every direc-
tiOn.
In a short time two young men were

arrested. and later third. who proved
to be the perpetrators of the crime.
The prisoners are Newton Andrews.
twenty years old; Charles Peters. TWEEN
ty-fuor years old; and Frederick Ar
mold nineteen years old. Andrews
and Peters were arrested about !
O'Clock yesterday morning In front OF
the old Central theater building on
Market street between Twentieth and
Twenty first streets. by policemen Mer-
ritt and Bate, as they came out OF Sar-
tori's saloon. Both were intoxicated.
Andrews had just fired off his revolver.
The two officers did not know at the
time the arrests were made that they
were the hold-ups.
Arnold was arrested yesterday noon
at the house OF his wife, Pill Market
street. by Detectives Carr and Bell. He
is married to a half-sister of George
Youngblood. son of the murdered
woman.
Arnold weakened soon after his ar
rest and made a partial confession that
he, Andrews and Peters committed
the crime. Not until Arnold's two com
panions in crime were confronted with
Arnold's confession and submitted to a
severe sweating" by Chief Armstrong
did they finally break down and con-
fess, too.
Arnold and Andrews did the shoot
ing in the house that killed Mrs.
Youngblood and fatally wounded Rob
ert Youngblood. Each admits that he
fired one shot. but each at the same
same time AYERS that he shot toward
the ceiling and not at their victims.
II is expected that another Sweating"
will elicit from these two who was re-
sponsible for each shot. Arnold is ac-
cused of planning the attempted rob-
berry.
The three prisoners were spirited
away on the s p. m. Denver e. Rio
Grande train last night by order OF
Chief Armstrong. The prisoners were
in custody Of Under Sherirf Felix
O'Neill and Detectives John Mcneil
and Peter Carr.
Lynching was feared by Chief Arm
strong. Rumors of the organizing of a
mob at Nalverde. where the murder oc-
Cured. was carried to police head
quarters last evening. Chief Armstrong
decided to take no chances, and just
as soon as he had wrung a confession
from Andrews and Peters he sent the
trio to the Union depot in patrol
wagon. 1t was 80 o'clock when the
prisoners lett the central police sta
ton. heavily handcuffed and shackled,
and they were placed aboard the train
for Colorado Springs.
