Protecting State Rights
According to information reaching
here. the governor is backed by all the
State officials IN the view that TO ac-
cept the peace proposals made yester-
day by Assistant Attorney General
Sanford would be to surrender abso-
lutely the rights OF the State in the
premises.
Should the governor persist IN this
attitude it is believed that the Federal
Government would be obliged to take
steps 10 enforce the orders Of Judge
Pritchard. Notwithstanding the fact
that neither President Roosevelt nor
the Department OF Justice are in sym
7athy with the judges assumption Of
jurisdiction before the State courts have
had an opportunity to pass on the ques-
tions at issue

Lake City nearly to the Nevada state

California the track is laid into Oak

on the west side Of the Utah desert,
not far from the Nevada state line.
This singular deposit is Is miles long

a depth of more than six feet are still
in solid salt. The salt that has been
found is suitable for stock and can
be readily refined for table use.
Internationally this section was

TOWNSEND'S DEATH DRAMATIC.
Husband Of Woman Who Died Planned
Keen Revenge.

| NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-As a suspect
| in the mysterious murder case, result
ling from the shooting of DR.. Charles
Wilmot Townsend, prominent Staten
Island physician, the police are holding
a little weakened faced man, scarcely
over five feet high. He is John Bell,
| a trolley conductor who was arrested
after he had made an attempt to hide.
! Later his name was disclosed and
the Circumstantial case they have
| a gainst him was considered so strong
that the police have abandoned all
other calculations.
Townsend was killed between 8 and
1907. The man who committed the
homicide entered his bedroom, where
he lay beside his wife, ordered him to
get up and then shot him. On the
evening of Jan. 25, 1906, just a year
before the killing of the doctor, the
| prisoners wife, young girl with whom
| he had eloped two years before, was
taken ill. DR.. Townsend was called
and she was removed to hospital. The
doctor Immediately operated, and at
IA o'clock the following morning she
died.
Bell has been torn with sorrow and
anguish ever since her death, and it is
alleged that he has talked bitterly
against the surgeon.
If Bell killed Townsend, the police
claim the deed was planned in a man.
ner dramatic in the extreme year
after the deaf of his wife, almost to
the minute, the physician breathed his
last.
To strengthen their belief that they
have their man, the detectives have
produced a letter. discovered in the
house in which Bell was arrested. 1t
is addressed to his brother Howard.
In it the prisoner refers to his dead
wife and writes in a manner that
seems to indicate that he contemplated
suicide. The police look on Bells reck
less condition of mind as a circum-
stance.

SEATTLE, Wash, Feb. I'm the
morsue of the Bonney-WatsOn COM
pany lies the body of FaliaO Yguichen.
one of the Igorrotes brought from the
Philippines nearly two years ago under
the care of DR.. T. X. Hunt. The body
is being held until sent for by the
tribesmen of La Ponto- Bontoc. While
in this city Faliao Yguichen, who was
60 years of age, became very sick and
on May 9, 1905. breathed his last in
Providence hospital.
In the flesh Faliao was medicine
man but In spirit he brought fear and
trembling upon his living tribesmen.
On the night following his demise the
! Igorrotes. SO in number, were thrown
| into a frenzy of fear. Through half
caste interpreter, they told of how the
| spirit of Faliao had made midnight
visit. One of the white attendants
was forced to remain up all night with
them that he would dispel the baneful
| influence of Faliao's spirit.
Faliao's body was prepared for ship
ment to the Philippines but to this
day his tribesmen have not sent for it.
The Bonney- Watson company received
word some time ago from the tribe
through the United States treasury de-
partment that preparations were un-
der way for the removal Of the body
to resting place in the Philippine
| islands.
| The undertaking company is patient
ly waiting for orders to ship the body
| While here the IgorrOtes created
much wonderment because of their
fondness for dog cooked in any style.

FOR YUKON EXPOSITION.

OLYMPIA, Feb. 12.-Though a dis
tinct understanding was reached here
last week that the personnel of the
Alaska Yukon-Pacific exposition board
named to handle the state exhibit
should be satisfactory to the directorate
of the fair, it is evident that John
L. Wilson will choose the entire COM
mission unless the fair directorate
bears down pretty hard on Governor
Mead.
The executive has promised to con-
suit with the management of the ex-
position and at his suggestion the ex-
position officials agreed to allow Will
son to be party to these consulta-
tons. Since that time the exposition
managers have rested quietly on the
gubernatorial assurance, while Will
son has been busy mapping out the
program that he desires to be follow

ayers of the exposition before he
| took any steps. The exposition has
not asked anything of him and will
ask nothing of him except that the
board be friendly to the fair. 1t is
not even demanded that King county
men be given the places. But it is
certain to raise storm Of criticism if
| the exposition commission on behalf
of the state is to be used solely for
political purposes.
| Political Spells.
The handling of 100000, with all
it's attendant responsibilities and the
| assembling of state exhibit, the in
stalling of a number of special en-
ployes, the erection of a special build

bilities that the friends of the fair
have just discovered are to be treat

UNDER IT'S PROVISIONS NO ONE
BUT A DOCTOR AND DEALERS :,
CAN BUY DRUGS. =.

SEATTLE, Feb. ia bill will be
| introduced in the state Legislature
within a few days to regulate the sale
of drugs to persons other than regular
authorized sellers or to licensed physi-
clans. The bill has been prepared by
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Vande-
veer after consultation with Mayor
Moore, and it is planned to take the
place of the present laws which have
been shown to be entirely inadequate
since the unearthing of evidence lately
by the police regarding the sale OF
drugs in Seattle.
The bill is entitled An act to regu-
late the selling, bartering. trading,
loaning or giving to any person NOR
phine, opium, cocaine. choral. or any
drug or medicine containing the same,
providing for the violation Of the same
and declaring an emergency"
The provisions of the act are to the
effect that for a violation of section
one, providing for the sale OF the
drugs, a fine Of $1,000 may be imposed
or the guilty person sent to prison for
term of one year, or both fine ana
Imprisonment.
For a violation Of section two, pro-
viding that when drugs are sold on
physicians prescriptions the prescrip-
ton shall be kept on file, the bill pro-
vides for a fine Of 500 or one months
imprisonment, or both such fine ard
Imprisonment.
Mr.. VandeNeer will leave soon to pre-
sent the bill to the county's legislators
at Olympia and see that it is intro
duced and pushed through.
The city and county jails harbor
hundreds of hopeless drug fiends every
year and in addition to this it was
lately brought to light that boys Of
he City had been able to secure drugs
and had become users. 1t was also
brought out during the investigation
into the methods of the Hurry Messen-
ger company that boys were used as
distributors of drugs; that wholesale
lots were secured from druggists and
dispensed to users.
II was also learned that certain pat
ent medicines on sale at some of the
stores Of the city contain such an
! amount of drugs that the person US
ing them may become addicted to the
drug habit.

can be accepted as an Indication OF
the manner in which Mead proposed
to accept wisconsin in the future.
The Wilson machine lacks q GU
bernatorial candidate for the fight
of 1908 and in the interim Il needs
the governors Office. 1t is poll
tics to keep string on Mead by pro-
posing to renominate him and that is
what has been done. Mead at present
is carried as a part of the 1908 slate.
Wilson followers are jockeying with
Speaker Falconer. They started with
La proposal to name him for governor.
then ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS was sug-
gested and now it is suggested that
he would be available for congress-
man.
Humphrey Not Candidate.
Several weeks ago the suggestion
was thrown out that Congressman
Humphrey would not be a candidate
to succeed himself. No one took the
trouble to consult Humphreys prefer
ences. but from Wilson sources came
the tale that he probably would retire.
If Humphrey is to be thrust aside. fig
ure the Wilson slate makers, why not
FalcOner as his successor. That
would relieve Wilson men of their
embarrassment over S. G. Cosgrove's
Willingness to be candidate for gov
ernor. They could switch him into a
candidacy for lieutenant-governor.
Congressional districting is a part of
the Wilson program that is apt to be
put through because of the demand
from other sources that the state be
cut up. None of the congressman
want division and all of them have
protested. The bill in the house has
been hung up in committee ever since
it was introduced, but Speaker Fal-
coner has served notice upon Chair
man Megler that it must be reported
out. This means that Melger will have
to get the bill onto the floor Of the
house, for the speaker and George
Reid have never relaxed the grip in
which they hold the house.
Once the districting bill is passed
the combination between the three
congressman, it is figured, can be
broken, for each man will have to
fight in his own district Cushman
for some reason, is wanted out. Pos
sibly the moving cause in the desire
to see Cushman retire is that Ross
wants the job. Humphrey they want
out to substitute a member of the EN-
bryonic combine still in process OF
formation here. Jones. it is figured,
might be enticed away by senatorial
bait, but if he won't come he can be
| fought.
F'alconer's friends are by no means
certain that he would be willing to go
to congress. He has business interests
here that require his attention, and
while he is willing enough to accept
political advancement that will allow
him to stay in the state, he is not in
/ a mood to abandon altogether his
hold on his personal affairs.
