REFUSES TO RENEW LAND LEASES
Commissioner Ross Decides that Ger
tain Rentals for King County
Tracts Are Improbable.

Land Commissioner E. w. Ross has
refused to grant renewals to about a
dozen King county residents of state
lands located a few miles south of
Seattle These men have been occu-
plying the lands for five years under
very cheap rentals and made formal
applications for renewals for five-year
terms, according to a report that comes
from Olympia.
Commissioner Ross is advised that
the lands are timbered and carry from
100000 to 100000 feet Of merchantable
fir timber to the quarter section. AS in
the past some of the land has been
rented at 10 cents an acre Mr.. Ross
has decided that the best interests of
the state do not justify a lease.
eff the tenants destroy only one
of the big trees the loss to the state
will be more than a whole years rem
tall" said Mr. Ross today.
The state will retain possession of
the land and will sell the timber be-
fore granting any new leases or renew
ais of lease. The property lies in
sections "a and 81, in township "a
north, range east.

TACOMA AFTER SALOONS,
Ordinance Being Drafted Which Is
Most Drastic

TACOMA Wash, April 27-The po-
lice and license committee of the city
council is drafting an ordinance,
which, when passed, will mean a revO-
luton in saloons here. The ordinance
removes wineroOms and boxes from
saloons, prohibits the presence of
tanning of shrdlu shrdu shrdu shrdu
women in saloons; prohibits the paint
ing of windows or curtaining of the
fronts which will obstruct the view
into the interior from the sidewalk.
and lastly will raise the saloon IL
cense to $1,000 a year. 1t is expected
that this last item alone will cut out
a score or so of saloons, leaving only
those able to conduct a clean and re-
spectacle business.
The present lineup of the council is
such that the ordinance will be passed
at it's first reading. The situation is
alarming to the saloon interests of the
city, as the measure is the most dras-
tic ever aimed at them in Tacoma, and
will materially cut down their reve-
nues, as we'll as make a constant hard
ship in carrying on their business.

WASHINGTON, OREGON and IDAHO
DORA JENNINGS ON TRIAL FOR LIFE
Girl Accused of Numbering Father OBJ
iect of Interest at Grants
Pass Again.

GRANTS PASS, Or. Apil 27.-Since
last Monday the Josephine county court
has been busy with the second trial
of Dora Jennings for the murder of
her father, N. NJ. Jennings, at Granite
Hill mining camp last September. The
details of the crime, as brought out by
the testimony of the many witnesses
called, is practically the same at at the
first trial. as the same people have
been called to the stand. The girl is
again defended by Attorneys Colvig
and Durham, and the prosecutors are
District Attorney Evan Reames and
his brother Clarence Reames.
The defense is making its fight along
the same lines, contending that the
accused girl is completely and totally
! innocent of the crime; that some one
unknown to the Jennings family crept
| into the little cabin in the dead OF
night and shot the old man while he
lay sleeping; and that the shot was
not heard by either Dora or her sister,
Julia, who occupied a bed two feet
from that of the father; that 1t was
! not heard by the two boys who slept In
the room, or loft, just overhead, and
that none of the children knew that
the old man was murdered until they
found him dead with a bullet hole IN
his temple next morning.

HAD A GUARD OF Thirty NEGROES

LONDON, April 27.-Miss Mary
Hall, who has just arrived here, is
the only woman who has made the
complete journey from one end of
Africa to the other. She started at
Chindo, on the coast of Portuguese
East Africa in June of last year, and
reached Cairo about six weeks ago
She had previously journeyed from the
cape to Victoria falls During the
whole of this nine months journey,
she had a guard of only thirty ne
groes
For weeks at time she saw no
white men and had to subsist on pam.
rice, corn flour. pOrridge and cocoa.
She crossed districts where no white
woman and but two white men had
ever travelled. She was carried in
hammock by reliefs of four and for
several weeks Travelled up rivers in
rowboats, camping out on the banks
at night. Often on pitching camp she
heard lions and hippopotami all around
her and she made her guards build
fires all around her tent. Only once,
when near the borders of German
Southwest Africa. did she have any
trouble with the natives and that only
on account of the high-handed action
of two German soldiers who had been
detailed as her escort.
