chaser. Land is booming in that part
of tina state and certainly has every
right to do SO.
T., Land values are advancing rapidly
and everything looks good In that vi
cinity. The rush of homeseekers Is so
great that there will be new boat put
on the river April l, which will carry
nothing but passengers and mail This
boat will make the up trip from Pasco

pany, was recently on the scene of tho
Operations and gave directions for the
putting on of a night shift so that
there will be water in the ditch by
April 10. That canal will irrigate $4,000

will cover 10000 more. The machinery
for the power plant has been landed
and will soon be installed.
Roads are being graded down the
hills from the Franklin county side and
the ferry is nearly completed. This will
put the town in a position to drain

who says:
your decision in the matter is cor
rect. Throwing is the same as bouncing
Tor rolling. and. Is dribbling when the
man takes more than two steps. Your
suggestion regarding the including OF
the word throwing in the rule is a
good one and have no doubt but that

This definitely decided the point and

all blame in the matter. He simply un-

YOUNG GIRL TURNS BANDIT.
With Young Sweetheart, She Partici
pates in Hoidups at Tacoma.

i TACOMA, Saturday, Feb. 24.-At-
T, tired in boys clothes and carrying a
/, large calibre revolver. pretty 17-year-
/ old Hazel Potter, daughter of a we'll
known Tacoma lumberman, living at
4S11 South Yakima avenue, has ac-
| icompanied Harold True, her 17-year-
old sweetheart and aided in some of
the most daring hold-ups ever perpe-
|trated in the northwest. With the cap
Iture of the girl, True and Fred Irons,
la 19-year-old youth who formed the
third member of the gang, Detectives
Smith, Ledyard and Brown have
cleared up all matters connected with
the series of daring holdups which for
flour weeks made Tacomans afraid to
go unarmed at night in the downtown
residence district.
4 True confesses to a score of attempt
ed hold-ups, nine of which he admits
a witness to most of these and admits
il that she actually participated in some
,of them. Nine men, who during the
past four weeks reported to the police
THAT they had been held up and robbed,
delivered their money and jewelry
with trembling hands to these fearless
iIjuvenile robbers True, while alone,
says he held up three men on First
avenue in Seattle three weeks ago and
compelled each to give him what
money he had.
i Worked in Seattle Also.
/ While the plain clothes men of the
Tacoma police worked ceaselessly
might and day, following every clue
which might lead to the capture of the
bandits whose operations marked a
lcarnival of crime seldom experienced
in this city, True, his sweetheart and
iyoung Irons operated coolly and with
iout fear. 1t was by the merest chance
that a detective overheard a CONVEX
Isation between the girl and boy at
local cafe which furnished a hint and
lresulted in the important arrests.
Queen of the Bandits as the To-
!cal police have nick-named her, Hazel
Potter is regarded as the most unique
feminine character who has ever come
Iunder the observation of the Tacoma
lpolice. Hazel is a pretty blonde with
la winning personality. AS a. student In
local public schools, where she ana.
tyoung True were companions, she
made a record for scholarship and she
has manifested notable histronic talent
iduring the several times she has APP
ipeared in minor parts in local theaters.

 To Be Enforced

Law Tor RFoseefton From Mad Canipes
 To Be Enforced.
 Muzzle your dogs is the advice given
 by Chief of Police W. H. Taylor, of
 the police department. to the citizeps
 Of Montgomery. Tn about two weeks
 there will appear upon the streets of
 the city vehicle bearing men and
 equipped with nets for the entangle-
 ment of all canines whose owners have not provided them with muzzies. An order has been Issued by the chief for
 the dog catching apparatus and as
 soon as 1t can be prepared 1t will be
 set in action patrolling the streets. It is the idea of Chief Taylor to enforce Section 2. of the city code, which provides for the protection of the people of the city from mad dogs. The City Council recently took up the matter and decided that as promptly as possible the law in that regard should be put in force.
 Following Is the section referred to-: It shall be unlawful for any owner of any dog to permit the same to be upon the streets of the city between the first day of June and the first day Of October in each year without being muzzled. It shall be the duty of the Chief of Police to have any dog found on any street in the city between the above named dates, without muzzle, placed in the city pound to be kept there for three days, but the owner of such dog may obtain the release of such dog by paying to the city the sum Of one dollar at any time within such three days; and If such dog is not so released 1t shall be killed after the expiration of such three days, un- der the direction of the Chief of Police.

Appears on Streets in Pajonnas,
 While Sane Friend Is In Jail

Grasping forcefully the arm of chis- holm as If he dreaded that he might make an attempt to escape. MeGillis entered the office of the county Jaii about 11:30 o'clock yesterday morn ing, accompanied by Mckenzie TO Jaiier Pettus, McGillis declared tnat Chisholm was violently Insane and ask ed that he be allowed to have him locked up for d few hours for safe keeping. MT, Pettus agreed to that and appearing greatly pleased. McGillis res Iinguished for the first time his grip on Chisholm and presented one ot the white prisoners with si as pay for keeping watch on Chisholm.
 McGillis described, not altogether satisfactorily the manner in which Chisholm had come under his protect i've care. He stated that Chisholm had jumped of train moving at the rate of thirty miles an hour. that he had witnessed the incident and that the railroad company had turned Chisholm over to him rather than have trouble with him. He referred. in explanation Of the action of the railroad company. to the fact that he was q sherin During the making of arrangements for his incarceration. ChIsholm save vent to terrifying screams, declaring that he was going to kill himself at the first opportunity. He was locked up In cell with the prisoner appoint- ed to watch him, and the latter de- cIared that while Chisholm behaved rationally, he exhibited decided pe- culiarities. The prisoner was evident ly of the opinion that Chisholm is crazy.
 To Jailer Pettus. Mckenzie, the on- ly member of the party whose sanity seemed to have escaped question by those with whom he came in contact. stated when McGillis was out of hearing, that he was judge from North Dakota and that, with Chisholm. he had evolved the plan of playing off the latter for insane that McGillls, told he was a sheriff, might be per- suaded in that role to accompany them to Tampa.
 It could not be learned for what reason Tampa was selected as the ob- jective point of the party.
 The deputies at the jail who were witnesses of the incident, are not sat- isfed with the solution of the affair that Mckenzie offered. They think the mysterious actions of the three men conceal very interesting adventure.

SCORES A VERDICT
ATTORNEYS GENERAL DISCUSS
 sTANDARD OIL FINE.
Al Second Meeting of the National Or- ganisation of Attorneys General President HadIey Refers to
 fhe IflaAola DeclaioM.

Denver. Aug. 20.--rhe second annual meeting of the National Organization of Attorneys General opened at the state capitol here today with repreBen- tatives from over half the states in the union present.
 Herbert R. Hadiey of Missouri presi- dent of the association, made the open ing address.
 The program as arranged includes addresses by several attorneys gener- al. who have been prominent in the light against corporations and dishon- est municipal and state officials.
 President Hadley in the course of his address referred indirectly to the twenty-nine million dollar Standard Oil fine.
 i'The judge" said he. "who cannot see the standard oil company of New Jersey In the Standard oil company of Indiana and who cannot see through both of these legal factions to the real owners and the real offenders, John D. Rockefeller. H, H. Rogers, John Archibold and others. Is either blind ed by prejudice or has an unfortunate disposition to obscure the merits of a controversy by strained and irrele- vent technicalities.
 ITO assert that men may. by the ob- jection of a puppet corporation escape the proper measure of punishment for their wrongdoing. is to give to the le- gal faction of the corporation greater rights. privileges and immunities than those which belong to natural per- sons.
 This case should serve as an ina- pressive argument as to the necessity of the national and state sovefnmsnts enacting a law to the effect that no Judgment in a criminal or civil case should be reversed unless the court could affirm upon the entire record that the judgment was for the wrong party and but for the error complain ed of. different judgment would have been recorded"
 Martin of Alabama Speaks.
 The New Question of States Rights" was the subject of a paper read by Thomas W. Martin. Assistant Attor- ney General of Alabama. at the after noon session.
 Mir. Martin discussed the rights of States in controversies with railroads and the decision of the United States Supreme Court handed down March 23. 1908. denying a writ of habeas cor- pus to Edward T. Young. Attorney General of Minnesota. who had been fined for violating a Federal court in- junction restraining him from enforce ing certain Minnesota rate lave.
 Mir. Martin contended that the su- preme Court want further in the de. cisior of the great constitutional ques- ton there involved than 1t had ever gone before and he believes that 1t would. in time, recede from this posi- tion. This opinion. he Said. might pre- vent the State from being represented in it's own courts by It's own chief law officer upon issues involving the con stitutional validity of the States enactments.
 This would give the Federal court Jurisdiction to enjon a States attorney from enforcing any State law.

 CTS The second stranger was In the county jail by his own motion The third of the trio, who admitted to be- ing a judicial officer in the North west ern state, smilingly claimed credit for a scheme out of which grew the queer conduct of his two companions. The story told by the men to clerks of the Exchange Hotel and to officers at the county jail is this:
 Himself insane, deluded by J. M Me. Kenzie a companion, into the belief that he is sheriff in charge of Ed ward Chisholm. represented to him as being wildly crazy. D. J. McGlllis Is being taken to Tampa. Florida with out resistance on his part
 The party is from some North pa- kota point, and the scheme was con- cocted by Messrs. Mckenzie and Chis- holm in order to send McGillis to Tam pa without trouble. Tn furtherance of the plan. Chisholm, really very sane, was locked up in the jail for six hours yesterday by McGillis, really very in- sane, while the latter was pirouetting around the lobby of the New Exchange
 Hotel In the unconventional garb of pajamas only The costume Is consid-
 cred most appropriate to the sun-sat-
 urated South.
 There in naturally some confusion In
 regard to the details of the McKanzie-
 Chisholm McGiliis affair. In fact
 Jailer Pettus and several of the depu- ties expressed widely variant opinions
 as to the real situation. One of the deputies believes that all three of the
 men are crazy, another that Chisholm
 is actually crazy and Jailer Pettus that McGiIlis alone of the trio is mentally unbalanced. The three men left Mont- gomery at six o'clock last night for Tampa, SO they stated.

 The suggestion has been mooted by some politicians that the other powers having claims against Venezuela will join with Holland in united action against that republic. This proposal, however. does not meet with favor here and no such suggestion from any power has officially reached The Hague.

Chamber of Deputies Adopts Annexa- ton Treaty After Lengthy Con- Terence Had Been Held
 With King Leopold.

Brussels. Aug. 2O.---After several months of bitter struggle, the Cham Der of Deputies today adopted the Congo annexation treaty by s3 votes 10 o1. and although today's action probably will insure the solution of the great Congo problem. there still remains open the important question of Belsium's financial responsibility.
 thls action on the part of the Cham Der had not been expected and at the last moment nearly caused the col lapse of the cabinet.
 During the first reading recently of tne colonial bill, which provides for the administration of the Congo rree state and which, with the treaty, was adopted today, Herr Woeste, leader Of the Right, secured the adoption of an amendment relieving Belgium of the responsibility of guaranteeing the payment of the interest on the Congo debt. but yesterday the Government made determined effort to secure rhe restoration of the stipulation. that Belgium would make advances to Con- go in case of necessity. The Govern ment was defeated in this. however, and 1t was generally believed that the ministers would be forced to resign.
 At the conclusion of a long meeting of King Leopold and his cabinet, 1t was announced that the ministry WNHAo hob ESeASns the LoNSFhtuont Lelu~ porarily accepting the Chambers ac- tion on the financial question. It was pointed out, howRYer, that a direct contradiction exists between the treaty and the colonial bill as voted, the treaty shouldering the financial re- sponsibility while the bill rejects 1t.
 It Is understood that the Govern ment will make an effort in the Senate to amend thegbill so as to reconcile fha nr0VfGinnG of fhA fEUn the important notifications of the original articles Of the bill are the abolition Of forced labor and the pro- hibition of members of the Belgian Parliament from exploiting Congo concessions.
