A REMARKARIiE INVESTMENT.
Seattle Man Onered Pront Of s1ss,oOo
on Options Costing $3.50.

Seattle, March Realty dealings
in Seattle have during the past year
or two furnished many examples Of
remarkable profits in remarkably
short periods of time. but nothing so
phenomenal as the luck of J. r. Nc
Laughlin in his Duwamish valley in
vestments has ever before come to
light. The story would seem hardly
credible were it not backed up by
facts and figures in more ways than
one. Briefly summing the deal up.
Mr.. Mclaughlin a little more than
two months ago invested $3.50 in some
options. Since then he has been
offered a profit of $3.50 to sell out
and has refused it. He is holding on
for a profit of $4,000.
The experience of Mr.. Mclaughlin,
a local real estate man. with John
Davis & Co., is indeed q golden dream
Of a wonderful west. and one that
comes to few men in this workaday
world. It almost passes belief, and
yet his offer that would net him St3s,-
600 is a. standing one.
During the latter part of November
Mr.. Mclaughlin went to Judge Roger
S. Greene, and by paying down $3.50
secured a ninety day option on $50
acres of land lying on the west side
of the Duwamish river. Just opposite
Georgetown. In his purchase contract
he agreed to pay at the expiration of
ninety days the sum of $500 per acre,
or q total of $3.50
Hardly had the deal been closed
when the railroad excitement in the
southern part of the city broke out,
and ron February Is Mr. Mclaughlin
was offered s. 200 per acre or q net
profit of $13s. 600 on his original iH-
yestment Of $3.50. This he refused.
Miss Mary Stairway, one Of the
syndicate of own ers of which Judge
Greene is the agent. has brought suit
against Mr.. Mclaughlin to have the
contract annulled, but as it was made
in the regular form. as the money was
paid over and receipted for. conserva-
tive real estate men and lawyers de-
clare Mr.. Mclaughlin has the best of
the legal aspect of the question.

QUTErUs FOR OUTLAW TEAM
Faculty of state University of Iowa
F'orbids Sunday Schedule.


Iowa CITY. la March Z. The execu-
tive officials of the State university of
Iowa have fntr mated that any attempt
on the part of tthe EdaWteve outlaws"
the semiprofes si0nal team which was
to have been COMPOSED of former uni
versity players. to play Sunday base
ball would be ollOwed by expulsion
from the unive rsity. As a result the
ulans for a spri ing schedule and an in
dependent team have gone a-gImmer-

have already hs cen arranged for have
been cancelled. The action of the uni
versity officials comes as surprise to
the student body.
Not only did the university object
to the men pla wing baseball on sun
day, but it sire ngly objected to their
playing under any management but
that of the UNI versity. The board Of
athletic control therefore proposed
that the outlaws should play under
the management of the university, all
of the surplus being earned by the
team to be the property of the uniVer-
sity. Inasmueh as the scneduIe al

The action of the professors in re

met with severe criticism here. They

 Sacramento, Cal, Nov. 30-At the re- quest of Attorney Henry, Governor Pardee has pardoned Steffins and WJ- man, the alleged ballot box suffers, in order that they may testify against Abraham Ruef and Mayor Schmitz Of San Francisco.
 Stefins and Wyman wer sentenced to five years Imprisonment for stuifing the ballot boxes at the local primaries held a short time before the last cleo tion of Mayor Schmitz. Through the result of this primary ee ton Abe Reuf secured control of the unty Re- publican convention. Charges were made that Steffins and Wyman, who were acting as election officials, had stuffed the ballot box in favor of cer- tain delegates.
 They were tried before Judge Lawlor and convicted. When Judwe Lawlor came up for reelection November 6, last, Ruef and his adherents made bitter fight against him and it was the nomination of two men as candi- dates for superior judge on both the Republican and the Democratic tickets in order to make Lawlor's defeat cor tain that brought the present discus- sions for graft to a focus.
