led TO extend his inquiry to Mellens grav-
ell pit. where he learned that some tools
had been stolen about the time the tool
house on the capitol grounds was entered.
Under an old scraper he found some Of
the missing tools. Thinking that the
thief would return for these, Carlson hid
i'm the sand pit on Thursday night. but
daylight came and no rogue appeared.
The policeman then made tour of the
secondhand stores. At Frank Hoagland' 5
place at 1O6 West South Temple street
he found some of the stolen property

JAPS' TROUBLES
NOT AT AN END
Two Islanders Ordered Re.
leased by British Columbia
Chief Justice.
APPEAL INSTANTLY TAKEN
EXCLUSION UP NORTH A Diff
CULT MATTER.

Vancouver, B. c., Feb. 21.-Chief
Justice Hunter today directed that the
two Japanese now lying in New West
minister Jail for violating the recently
passed Natal act Of the province,
should be Immediately discharged from
custody.
On a demand being made by Robert
Cassidy. X. c., representing the prov
ince. that a recognizance be demanded
from the prisoners pending the appeal,
which was instantly taken. his lord
ship refused to entertain the request
and stated. in comment on the matter
that the two japanese were peaceable
subjects OF Japan who had been il
legally detained. AS far as he could
see they evidently had good action
against SOMEBODY. The chief justice.
in pronouncings his opinion, expressly
stated that he did not intend to touch
upon the question as to whether the
provincial Natal act was ultra wires.
Not Sanctioned by Dominion.
In a reserved manner his lOrdship
stated that he would venture the opin-
ion that the provincial Natal act did
not appear to be in contravention of
the general immigration laws of the
Jdomtnton, as the British North Amer
Sica act allowed the provinces certain
rights of legislation regarding immi-
grafton. The real question before him
was, however, as TO whether the pro-
vincial Natal act contravened the
treaty with Japan. which. by parlia-
mentary authority, stood on a par
with all other statutes of the land.
The treaty act must be read in con-
nection with other dominion acts gov
erning immigration and under these
provisions there were still some classes
excluded. But the provincial act went
further and imposed a test not sane
TONED by dominion authorities. There
was, therefore, no doubt that the pro-
visional act must be held as inOpera-
tive as regarded the subjects of Japan
seeking to enter the province,
Notice of Appeal.
Immediately after the judgment was
given, Mr.. Cassidy, representing the
government of British Columbia, gave
notice of appeal and asked that the
case be viewed as an urgent one, and
the argument heard at the earliest pos
sible moment in order to expedite the
latter appeal to the privy council
The chief justice replied that if he
had the power he would give the in
slant right of appeal to the priVy
council, as IL was advisable that the
question be settled at an early date

arranged to hear the appeal at an early
date, and thence the matter could
promptly proceed to the tribunal of
final resort.
The two Japanese whose entrance
into Canada was the occasion of the
test of the Natal act, and who were
today ordered released from the Gus
tody of the provisional authorities by
Chief Justice Hunter, are by no means
al the end of their troubles if their
intention is to remain i'm Canada. They

a right to enter this country under the

WASHINGTON'S. FAMILY TREE.
Something About the Sturdy English
Ancestors From Whom He Sprang,

Today is the 10th anniversary of the
birth of George Washington, who was
the father of his country. and the idol
of every American citizen. young or
old. AS quite everyone knows. George
Washington was born on Feb. q. 1872.
at Washington parish. Westmoreland
county. Virginia. How he became the
general of the revolutionary forces and,
after successfully delivering the col
onies from the yoke of British rule.
how he became the first president of
the United States, and how his life's
history is so filled with intense interest
that few there are but know it by
heart: how he died in honor and was
buried at Mount Vernon, and how the
government is planning to acquire
Mount Vernon now-these things and
many more come to the mind when
Washington's birthday approaches.
While literature has dealt with the
history of Washington in both volume
and quality. there comes to light occa-
sionally rare additions to that which
already has been written. Knowing
that George Washington came OF a
grand old family of Englishmen, ii is
interesting to delve trifie deeper and
see Just who those grand old English
ancestors were.
In 11S3-before surnames were thought
ola Norman knight named William OF
Hetburn bought the manor of Wes-
syngton from the bishop of Durham in
England. He paid four pounds in good
cash for it, and also agreed to attend
the bishop with two greyhOunds on &C.
casions of state huntings, and to fur
nish a man-at-arms when the lord
L f-rl,4 han
William, hereafter known as Sir Will
liam of Wessyngton. was the first man
TO bear the name, and was the direct
ancestor of George Washington. The
name is pure Saxon, meaning the town
on the marshy meadow: and the viii
lage, now known as Washington. is in
the coal mining district about ten miles
from Durham. The Washingtons soon
spread all over the north of England.
where the name still is common, and
one branch of the family settled in the
county of Lancashire.
SolgraVe Kings Gift.
From Lancashire one Lawrence
Washington went up to London, TO
study law in Gray's inn. He made his
mark and, leaving London for North
ampton was so successful there that
he twice became mayor of that city.
This was in the days of King Henry
the Eighth-bluff King Hattie man
who could not make his marriage ideas
fit in with the ideas of the church, and
so duarreled with it, Church property
was confiscated on all hands and,
among other fertile spots, the Manor
of Solgrave fell into his clutches. 1t
was bestowed upon Lawrence Wash
ington, who thus became lord of the
Manor of Solgrave in Northampton
shire.
The manor house still stands. Law
renee Washington altered il TO suit his
own tastes. and in the carvings of
both stone and woodwork and the dec
orations of the windows, he wOve his
arms of Stars and Stripes.

Without a murmur young Sherman got
out and led the way TO the hospital
followed by his friends. DIR. Sidney
Clark was called and he performed the
necessary operation. assisted by DR.
Grissim. Both men say that they never
witnessed such a degree of grit in any
patient they had ever attended.
News of the accident was wired to the
young mans father. w. A. Sherman, al
Oakland, and he left at once for Tono-
