SKULL
TELLS CRIME

Evidence of murder was brought
to light at noon today in the un-
earthing of the skeleton of a
Chinaman by workmen excavating
for Curtis Bros. at the corner of
Fourth and Oak. The skull is
cracked four ways, evidently hav-
ing been done by blow from some
blunt instrument. The skeleton
otherwise is perfect That it is that
of a Chinaman is determined from
the fact that although all the hair
has disappeared the typical China
mans braid" which is attached
to the native "pigtail' to increase
its length so 1t may be wound
around the head, Is well preserved
anG braided evidently as done by
the Chinaman before receiving the
death blow. The remains of a de-
cayed wooden box surrounded the
bones.
The lot on which the skeleton
was dug up is owned by a man
named Mason, who is erecting a
livery stable there. So far as re-
membered, the lot has never been
occupied by a building.
1t Is presumed that the murder
was committed in one of the
Chinese houses that years ago
were located in the vicinity, and
the remains buried in the vacant
lot

One of the first and richest SEN

non is outraged at the application
to this convention, in "our" inter-
est of the gag rule which he saw
applied at previous convention and
which he himself developed to so
high a state of perfection in the
house of representatives. Well,
there is something to sheer at.
Too bad we cannot hear the con-
siderations which weigh in the de-
termination of nominees and plat
form of the republican party. May
be the convention will and should
cease to be deliberative, maybe in
the course of political evolution
the power to nominate president
will and should pass back from the

pie themselves. Certainly we have
decided in this case or have ap-
proved the president decision.

from the present system In the
near future. Such a change would
permit Federal union No. 1854,
for instance. to continue bidding on
big jobs. What work the union
has been able to take has resulted
in a heavy saving to the taxpayers.
The necessity OF carrying the ex-
pense of big work shuts .le union
and all other contractors not pos
sessed of an extensive bank ac-
count from competing in the inn
portant undertakings which thus
become the monopoly OF those who

GIVE SMALL CONTRACTORS
CHANCE TO BID

1t Is likely that move will be
made in the city council to adopt
the Seattle plan of making pay
ments on public work in order to
give the smaller contractors
chance to bid. AS 1t is now, con-
tractors are compelled % carry the
expense of the entire construction,
as nothing is paid by the city UNI
til the work is finished and ac-
cepted.
In Seattle and other cities on the
coast payments are made on the

amount of work completed when

from any liability before final pay

CHICAGO, June 15.-It is learn

or Cummins to Fairbanks for vice

events at Chicago lined up in such
way as to point to the nomination
Of Fairbanks, message was dis
patched from the White House say
ing that Dolliver or Cummins
would find more favor.
Sentiment behind the scenes to-

it. Well informed leaders believe

OFFICER KILLS
SAVAGE BRUTE

A vicious sheep dog that yester-
day bit several people was finally
located and executed this morning
on the corner of Front av. and
Wall ST., where, following an at
tack it made on Sam Glasgow Of
the Centennial mill, Sergeant Nc
Phee shot the animal. Consider
able excitement was caused yester-
day by the dog and numerous COM
plants were sent to police head
quarters. But efforts to locate the
canine were fruitless. 1t would go
along the street and nip everyone
1t could. 1t did not appear to be
mad. This morning when Mr..
Glasgow passed the animal first
nipped him on the heel, then sprans
up and bit him in the hand.
