OLE HANSON WINS
GREAT TRIUMPH
(Times Special Service.)

OLYMPIA, Jan. 27.-By the
unanimous vote of 93 to O, the
Ole Hanson anti-racetrack gamb-
ling bill passed the house this
morning. Hanson, father of the
bill, made a most impassioned
speech and for half an hour he
pleaded for the bills passage. He
pictured the ruin caused by gamb-
ling evil, the loss of manhood and
womanhood caused by the wild
and the final disgrace
which came to many following
embezzlements In order to "play
the ponies"
Before the final vote was cast
an amendment was made to post
pone action until February 4. This
was taken in view of the fact that
the prosecuting attorney of King
county intends to insert In his
code bill a measure against race
track gambling. The amendment
was lost by vote of 81 to Al.
In the senate this morning the
bin providing for another superior
Judge for King county was passed
after a bitter fight made every
step of the way, waged by Senator
Cotteri1 of King, a democrat.

DISPUTE
OVER
BILL no SETTLE SUIT WILL
BE PASSED BY CONGRESS
WITHOUT OPPOSITION.
BEDFORD May GET
$4,000 OUT Of IT

(By United Press Leased Wfre.)
WASHINGTON, D.. O., Jan. ~.
The dispute over the title of the
Tacoma tidelands, which have
been claimed by the Puyallup In
dams and the suits for which have
clouded their title and stopped
extensive improvements planned
on the Tacoma waterfront, will be
settled out Of court.
Bill Recommended.
The house committee on Indian
affairs has recommended favorably
a bill by Representative Cushman
OF Washington providing for the
settlement and the secretary OF
the interior and the officials of the
Indian office have given their
sanction to the agreement.
The bill, which has been re-
ferred to the committee Of the
whole house, will meet with no op-
position. 1t provides not only
that the dispute involved in court
at the present time shall be set
tied. but that other suits Of sim
liar kind can be settled out Of
court. Secretary Garfield goes
on record as promising not to
sanction any further suits that will
disquiet this condition.
Bedford May Get $3O,O0
Charles Bedford, the Indians
attorney, is to get 25 per cent. Of
the money not to exceed $4,000
as a fee. The lands are worth
$1,500,000. The sum agreed up
on as a settlement Is not known
here.
When Attorney Grosscup, who
also represents the Indians, was
here to effect a settlement, Sec
retary Garfield took the attitude
that the only way to settle the
title was by court action. 1t was
pointed out that an agreement
could be reached out of court and
a decree entered accordingly. Sec
retary Garfield stated that he had
no authority to enter into any
agreement, but would not oppose
a bill giving him such authority If
the parties to the suit would
agree. This was done>and the bill
was introduced.
May Settle Other Cases.
The bill provides that the Sec
rotary of the interior is authorized
to settle also any claims that the
Puyallup Indians have to other
tidelands. The money received
for the settlement is to go first
to pay the attorneys hired by the
Indians and the residue Is to be
deposited in the United States
treasury and disbursed as the pro-
ceeds of sales of Puyallup tribal
lands.
1t is understood here that the
bill will be forced to passage In
the present congress.

erasure from the
house record of the recent sensa-
tional verbal attack on President
Roosevelt by Representative Will
lett of New York on January 10,
Congressman Mann of Illinois, to-
day presented the report Of a spe-
cial committee to determine
course of action. The report said:
Freedom of speech in the
house should never be denied or
abridged, but freedom of speech
during debate does not mean a
license to indulge in personal
abuse and ridicule.
1.-The right cf members to crit
icize officials and the acts of the
president and other executives
should be unquestioned, but the
right to subject to proper rules
requiring decorum in debate.
"Your committee finds 1t i'm
possible to separate those por-
tions of the gentleman's remarks
which are open to objection from
those which may be preliminary,
and the only way to eliminate re-
marks that are improper is to
strike the entire speech from the
record"
Appended to the report was 9
letter from Willett, in which he
contended that he was within his
rights and followed custom and

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 81.
THAT the Japanese war scare
will introduce its face into the
halls of congress when the naval
appropriation bill comes up for
final passage in the senate is the
opinion of senators from the Pa
cific coast.
The recent strained diplomatic
relations between this country and
Japan arising out Of the introduce
ton of bills in the California leg
islature, designed to drive the
Japanese from that state, has call
ed forth general discussion Of
Pacific coast defenses and will
probably result in an increase in
the appropriation for coast fortiii-
cations and larger budget Tor

California congressman say to
their colleagues:
I'VE don't, want the Japanese.
There are $4,000 of them now
in our state and we want to drive
them out. Do you blame MS?
Would you want them in your
state?"
When their colleagues reply
that we are not prepared fer q
war with Japan, the Californians
ask:
Want Coast Defenses.
Whose fault is It? We have
been here for years with bills for
better coast defenses, a larger Pa
cific feet and facilities for caring
for the ships. Give these to us
and we will not be forced to yield

HOuse..AmbitiOn of

(Times Special Service.)

crimes Special Serv1ce.)
OLYMPIA, Jan. 27.-Samuel
G. Cosgrove is at last governor of
the state of Washington.
The sick old man, graphing
with death, but indomitably brave,
with his square jaw firmly set and
his eyes flashing, took the oath
of Office in the capitol building at
2 O'Clock this afternoon.
No brighter sun ever shone
from California skies than that
which greeted Governor Cosgrove
on his arrival in Olympia this
afternoon. For the first time in
months the clouds and mist van
ished and this morning broke as
cler as a midsummer day with
grateful warmth as il to welcome
and assure the returning execu-
tive.
When the train arrived bearing
Mr.. Cosgrove he was taken to the
house Of representatives in a
closed carriage and there the oath
of chief executive was administer
ed by Chief Justice Rudkin. The
ceremony was short and immedi-
tely afterward, bowling to the
wishes of his son, Howard, Gov.
Cosgrove was taken back to his
private car. Gov. Cosgrove will
undoubtedly attend the house
warming at the executive mansion
tomorrow night and leave for Paso
Robles Friday morning.
Pathetic Sight.
The Joy of Cosgrove's arrival in
Olympia was shaded and toned by
its pathetic side and those who
saw him and pondered over the
unique and tragic situation went
their way in sober meditation.
For twenty years Samuel G.
Cosgrove has sought the honor of
being governor of the state of
Washington. Through a genera
tion of political vicissitudes he
has bourne up and, as often as
the honored and coveted prize
eluded or was snatched from him,
just as often did he return to his
quest.
Ambition COnsummated.
And now with the ambition of
twenty years consummated, with
his personal and political enemies
overcome, with the office that he
longed for his, death stands close
beside him waiting only an un-
guarded moment. One slip. one
shift of the dice box of fate and
Governor Cosgrove may yet be
defeated, counted out by that
great judge Of election who cares
not for party or power.
Governor Cosgrove Is sick
man, but he is not a dying man.
He is in the clutches of one of
the deadliest diseases that man
has named, but he is clutching
back with will that knows no
breaking he is fighting back, and
will fight until brain and heart
can resist no longer.
Big Crowd.
A great gathering f1ocked to see
the car in which the governor ar
rived. The spectators paused in
groups and masses and looked
long and curiously at the drawn
curtains; speculated wisely and
loosely on his condition of health
and rejoiced man to man.
There was no flare of trumpets,
no rending of the heavens with
fervid oratory, no shouts or cheer
ing, but In the hearts of every
man, woman and child in Olympia
there was deep feeling of thank
fulness that was akin to a prayer.
The following occupied reserved
seats surrounding the governor
during the inauguration:
