LAND GRhFTERS HAVE INNING
House is Rushed by Wilson With
His Yukon Fair Bill
ONLY MEAD Can STOP DEAL NOW
VALUABLE LANDS OF STATE TO

BOLD SHARKS.
ONLY MEAD Can STOP DEAL NOW

OLYMPIA. Feb. 2. = The house
! late this afternoon passed the
million dollar Yukon fair bills and they
are now on their way to the governor
for signature. The action Of the lower
branch is due in the main to the per-
sonal influence of John L. Wilson.
Wilson was here with a powerful
lobby yesterday, and when at the con-
clusion of the conference of the COM
mission he learned what had been done,
and further that the members of the
, committee thought it best to see the
shores of Lakes Union and Washington
| that the state is to virtually give into
the hands of a syndicate of land grab
bers. He was wild and spent most of
last night and all of today whipping
his men into line
Yesterday from every section of the
sentatives were indignant that such a
| measure should have passed the sem
ate and the Seattle gang from Wilson
down was roundly denounced. These
excavations were accompanied by as
sertions as to what the house would do
to the bills. Sentiment favored in
specting the lands but Wilson was
busy all the while, and when the house
appropriations committee met this
afternoon the session was declared eX-
through
Thompson, of Spokane, is chairman
of the committee, but Speaker Fall
coner, who wanted the bills put through
! in the senate form and without change,
took it upon himself to debar the pub
! lie. When the measures finally got into
| the house FalcOner and Wilson hied
themselves to the lobby and chuckled
over the cigars that Wilson bought
Those who wished fair and open dis
cussion of the bills attempted to ad-
journ over until Monday, but this was
voted down as was also a motion to
recess until tomorrow morning.
| This brought out the strength of
those who favored the appropriation
and the opposition gave up the fight
right there and came into line on the
final voting. AS passed the bills diff
| fer only simply in detail, as passed by
the senate. The appropriation is the
same but the land commission rs cut
out and the tax commission and the
attorney general substituted as ap-
i praisers of the shore lands to be sold

A KIPLING FOR OUR NAVY
President Induces James B. Connolly to
 Enlist as Yeoman

James B. Connolly, the we'll known author of sea stories and notably of stories of Gloucester fishermen, left for Washington yesterday to join the Unit ed States navy as yeoman and will be employed as clerk. He will enlist for two years and will be drafted for duty on Wednesday to the battleship Ala bama, which is going on cruise for two months.
 He has taken this step at the sug- gestion of President Roosevelt. The president s great desire is to have an American writer do for our navy what Rudyard Kipling has done for the army of Great Britain. The idea originated some time ago in the course of a con versation between the president and MT. Connolly. Last August, while the author was guest of the president at Oyster bay, the plans were completed Mr. Roosevelt wanted the writer to start on cruise in September, but Mir. Connolly had considerable work that he wished to finish, 80 the date of his en- listment was postponed. It was in Oc- tober, 1902, that MT. Connolly first heard directly from President Roosevelt, when he received very complimentary letter commenting him for his original ity of style and his good sense in the selection of working material Shortly afterward MT. Connolly met the presi- dent, and has frequently been his guest in Washington and Oyster bay.
 Unusual privileges will be accorded MT. Connolly during his term of ser vice. His mission, of course, will be known to the admiral and commanders of the fleet, and the officers in general, and in a way he will have considerable freedom. He will also have private cabin.
 The Alabama $ first stop will be at Guantanamo. Then the ship will pro- ceed to the Caribbean sea. During his two years service it is intended that he shall visit many parts of the globe and shall be with various squadrons, and it is likely that one of his voyages will be in the Philippines.
 Mir. Connolly acted as the correspond ent of the New York Times in the yacht race across the Atlantic last May for the Kaiser's cup, which was won by the Atlantic. Connolly was guest on the smallest boat in the contest, the Fleur de Lys, and his cable account of its thrilling voyage was eagerly read. The best known of his sea tales are "Out of Gloucester" "The Seiners, " and "The Deep Sea s Foil. ''-Boston dispatch to the New York Times.
