GEORGE MILTON SAVAGE COM.
PANY HAS BEEN ORGANIZED
AT TACOMA.
Expected That New Company Will Be
On Hand When Bids Are Opened
for Walla WalIa Streets.

|. The highly interesting information
comes from Tacoma that the George
Milton Savage company has been or
ganized in that city for the purpose of
''bucking' the Barber Asphalt COM
pany, and when bids are received by
the council for the paving of certain
streets in WaIla Walla it is more than
likely that the Savage company will
be found a strong competitor of the
Barber people.
The Savage company was awarded
| the contract for paving North street
of Tacoma yesterday in competition
with other asphalt companies. The
contract price was $47,S2O. The Bar
Der company's bid was $1,000 higher
The Savage company mas entered into
contract with Tacoma and filed a
bond to maintain the street in repair
at cost Of 21a cents a square yard for
a period of ten years. A $4,000 as
phalt plant will be installed at Tacoma
Immediately by the Savage company
| Considerable interest it is said devel-
oped on the Tacoma contract owing to
the fact that this is the first of the
| street paving contracts that the Bar
Der company has failed to land since
establishing a plant at Tacoma
| A representative of the Savage COM
pany is expected to arrive in Walla
Wala shortly to consider the plans
and specifications adopted by the
council for the improvement of GER

differences devoted to education work

NANCE REQUIRING SIDE.
WALKS PUT ON GRADE.
Mayor Hunt Has Not Vet Affixed His
Signature to ordinanee-Study.
ing Matter Over.

AS intimated in the Evening States
man, in the event Mayor Hunt ap-
proves the ordinance passed by the
council Tuesday night, requiring all
sidewalks within the paved district to
be put on the grade of the street, sew
eral large property owners along Main
street, who will be compelled to lower
their walks at great expense if the or
dinance becomes a law, have signified
their intention of testing the valid
ity of the measure. Mayor Hunt has
not signed the ordinance as yet and
it is intimated that ne is going to
give the matter considerable study be-
fore he affixes his signature to the in
strument.
The temper of property owners who
will be affected by the ordinance is
anything but serene and a Lively legal
battle will be fought out in the courts
if measures are taken to force them to
place their sidewalks on the grade Of
the streets. Several of the largest
property owners have joined forces
and yesterday they called upon coun-
sci for advice. The point upon which
the property owners lay the greatest
stress is the fact that their sidewalks
were put to the grade given by the
city engineer at the time the walks
were laid. That they should be COM
peled at this late day to raise or lower
their walks to conform with some
other grade imposed by the city en-
gineer they declare is a rank injustice
and is matter we'll worth going into
the courts to settle.

LOOKS LIKE LIFE FOR KING.
Ex-Convict Being Tried Under Cum
uIative Sentence Law.

John King, one of the most notorious
criminals in the Northwest and who
has already served two terms in the
Walla Walla penitentiary, is on trial
at Seattle upon an information charg-
ing him with already having served
two sentences in prison. Conviction
upon the charge will mean that King
will spend the remainder of his life
in the penitentiary, under the habitual
criminal act.
King did his first term for burglary
committed in Whatcom county. His
second Imprisonment was upon con-
viction of a charge of burglary in King
county. He was convicted of stealing
a jar full of coin from the window of
Jules Redelsheimer. King and his
partner in crime, Tommy Wallace, did
a long term for this burglary. Peace
officers of both King and Wnatcom
counties will identify him.
King is regarded by the police not
only as the most dangerous man who
has made Seattle his headquarters, but
the gang of young criminals that he
has led for years has caused the po-
lice much trouble.

AUTOCRAT !NCLINES TO WAR.
Anti-Peace Party Said to Be Swinging
Feeble Monarch Their Way


CHICAGO, March 31.-Walter Well
man in a Washington special to the
Record Herald, says:
The monotous question of peace or
war seems to hang on a gambler s
throw. 1t is the belief of the Rus
slams that they have one chance in a
hundred, or one in a thousand, to beat
the throw and win the game.
The car and some of his advisers,
it is known through private dispatches
received here, swing between hope and
fear. They hesitate whether to stake
everything on single playa play in
which they might recoup at least a
part at least of their dreadful losses,
or in which a continuance of their i'll
luck would sweep everything from the
board, and leave them hopeless bank
rupt.
This is the dramatic situation that
exists at st. Petersburg at this mo-
ment. It shows how the weight of a
single hair swings the balance first
one way and then the other-towards
peace one hour, towards desperate
military measures the next 1t shows
how impossible it is for any one to
forecast, even for a day or an hour,
what the final decision of the car
is to be.
Peace, war, the lives of many thous-
ands of men, the fate of nations and of
policy, not upon the wisdom of the
strong and wise ment, but upon the
ever shifting mood of a single man of
mediocre ability, upon the will of a
man whose will is unstable as water,
who, like a gambler, approaches the
table uncertain and desperate, trusting
to chance to show him which number
to place his coins upon, that the tickle
goddess may be wooed and won-a
ruler who trusts not to policy or the
patriotism and efficacy of his states
men and soldiers, but to a freak of
fortune.
This is the interesting news that
comes to Washington through the
highest of official channels, and 1T ex-
plains much that has been confusing
and contradictory in the cable dis
ofobn
the last few weeks.

NEW YORK, March 31.-William B.
Masterson, known as Bat Masterson.
has been sworn in here as a deputy
United States marshal. He was rec
commended for the appointment by
President Roosevelt. Masterson said
he hoped to make a good record in his
new position. Incidentally, he express
ed the opinion that there is more car
rying of concealed weapons in New
York than in the west.
"Out where I came FROM" ne said,
"a man does not carry a gun unless
he wants to use it. Out there the game
is to leave your gun at home. Then,
when fellow draws bead on you,
you can throw up your hands and show
him you are unarmej. He won't shoot
if you do that. But here in New York
every little sneaking son of gun, who
has got the price of a pistol buys one
and carries it. You can't go into a
restaurant or cafe in this town, with
out seeing dozen cheap sports with
guns twisted in their pockets. Why,
they could not get them out in an
hour. and if, by hard work, they did
manage to yank one of these toys pis-

PRIEST is TARGET FOR BULLETS
Attempt Made to Assassinate Inde-
pendent Polish Pastor,

pendent Polish Pastor.
WINNIPEG, Man., March 31.-My
stery surrounds sensational at
tempt at murder which occurred
about o'clock Thursday morning in
the north end of the city and in which
Rev. w. Blozowisk, priest of an in
dependent Polish church and editor of
Polish paper called Prouda, had a
narrow escape from death at the hands
of an assassin.
AS the priest sat at table in the
tower room of his residence, two shots
were fired from the street, crashing
through the window a few inches from
his head. One of the bullets struck an
oil lamp, which exploded and set fire
to the room, the contents of which,
including SEVERAL valuable painting,
were destroyed.
J Blozowiski is overcome by nervous
shock and has taken refuge at the
home of one of the members of his
congregation. The police expect to
make arrests in connection with the
attempt on his life.
Since coming to Winnipeg BloZow
iski has been active in religious con-
troverses among the Poles, with the
result that he mas incurred the enmity
of some factions of the foreigners in
the North End.
AS editor of the Prouda he wrote
some scathing editorials in defense of
the Independent church, for which he
was arrested some time ago on a
charge of criminal libel at the instance
of Rev. Charles Gretchel, a Polish
priest of the Roman Catholic church.
The libel case is to be heard at the
assize now in session.
The police are at a loss for a motive
for the attempt on the priests life
and are also alarmed at the number of
serious crimes attempted or accom-
plished, among the foreigners of this
section of the city. In the winter two
murders were committed as the result
of what was believed to be religious
grievances, and in one of the cases
the murderers have not been appre-
hended, though numerous arrests on
suspicion were made

The court adjourned to meet again
on Tuesday afternoon when Kirkman

prosecution will be admitted by the
defense. Captain Kirkman will con-
tinue to act as his own attorney and
will introduce many witnesses. 1t Is
stated by his friends that he has
complete answer to all the charges
made against him.
That he is fully capable of looking
after his own interests in a, legal way
may be inferred from the fact that he
has frequently been detailed as in
structor in military law at various
points at which he has served.
Members of Captain Kirkman's

fifth infantry, have been refused pass
es to leave Fort Nibrara while the
