WHALES TOOTH
THAT TELLS STORY.
Presented to the United States by
Fiji King Now at A.-Y.-P..E.


SEATTLE. Wash, July ga
relic that tells story of centuries of
savage royalty is a whales tooth,
which was the symbol of nobility in
the Fiji islands before it was pre-
sented to the United States govern
ment by the last king Of Fiji, who
was then endeavorlng to secure a
treaty with this country.
This curious article is on eA hibi-
ton in the state department display
in the government building of the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS exposition.
Before the white people discovered
the Fiji islands this whales tooth
was practically the god of the savage
race who inhabited these islands. 1t
was recorded in their legends as a
gift from their chief god, and no one
dared antagonize the possessor OF the
tooth because its owner was believed
TO be divine.
the relic was kept inclosed in the
royal palace and 1t meant death for
any of the people to look upon 1t.
The royal whales tooth came into
possession of the United States as a
gift from the Fiji king before the
British obtained control of the ISL
ands. The king was at that time in
trouble on account of internal dis
turbanees among his people and he
was endeayoring to obtain the aid Of
the United States.
1t was the most royal gift that the
king could give and he parted with
it only as a last resort. The United
States received the gift, but no treaty
was cemented between the countries.

CONGRESS MAY

Sutton Inquiry Is Accusing Deep
Interest Among Members

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 26.-
II was learned here today that infiu-
ence is being brought to bear upon
the senators of the western states TO
demand a congressional Investigation
into the affairs Of the marine corps
as a result of the inquiry which Is
now being made into the death OF
Lieutenant Sutton, OF Portland,
who. It is claimed, committed suicide.
but which theory his mother declines
to accept and is of the firm opinion
that her son was murdered.
Senators Chamberlain and Bourne,
both of the state of Oregon, are show
ing particular interest In the case,
as Sutton was a resident OF Portland
and so are his relatives, and are
watching 1t with the keenest kind OF
interest. Other members of congress
are also watching every development
OF the case, aud 1t may be that an
investigation will be made regardless
of what the verdict will be In the
case OF sutton.
A western senator who does not at
this time want his name disclosed. In
commenting upon the matter said;
Il believe congress will make an in
vestigation OF the marine corps In
the fan, and that 1t will do SO no
matter what the verdict may be OF the
board which is prosecuting the In
quiry into the case of Sutton. There
appears to be among the young Off
GERS of the marine corps spirit
which is utterly foreign to that which
should mark the men who have
charge Of our sea police"

KILLED HIS WIFE
THEN HIMSELF
Deliberately Waylaid Unsus-
peeting Victim and Hacked
Body to Pieces.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, July &c.
After killing his wife and then
hacking her body to pieces with a
tomahawk, Robert E. Tanning com
mitted suicide by blowing off the
whole top of his head with a revolt
yer. Tanning was one of the wealth
lest residents of West Port, and the
murder and suicide is one of the most
sensational that the state has ever
known and has come as a great shock
TO the friends and relatives of the
murderer and suicide. Tanning had
been indulging heavily lately in
. liquor and it is supposed that his
mind became unbalanced and that
this was what caused him to commit
the terrible crime.
Corpse Found by Roadside.
The crime was committed on a
Onely road, where Tanning lay in
wait for his wife, who had been Wis
ting with neighbor. She had
passed his place of concealment in
some bushes before he sprang upon
her, and after killing her and hack
ing her body with tomahawk until
( it was almost unacceptable, he cast
the mutilated corpse by the roadside
and returned to his home. Upon re-
turning home he wrote a sensational
letter and also "a confession, and then,
boarding his automobile, he rode to
the police station and delivered the
written confession to the police, and
while they were engaged in perusing
It he whipped from his pocket a re-
Volver and shot himself through the
head in such a manner that the ball
literally tore the whole top of his
head off.

Many Ruses Employed.

A variety of ruses have been en-
ployed to secure business for the
various notaries. When it became
evident that the notaries in the down.
town section were securing the most
of the business "spielers' were sent
down there, who made 1t their bust
ness to inform the public that there
were plenty of notaries up town. The
downtown notaries retaliated and
the Superintendent has directed that
this business must cease. Another
ruse employed was to have
"spieler" advising the public that the
lower part of the city was the slum
section and the public was advised to
beware of pickpockets and thieves.
This had the effect of driving many
people up town, and this practice has
also been called to halt by Judge
Witten. Still another method was
nsed to spread broacast the report
that certain tracts occupied by the
notaries we're outside the city limits
and that to register with them would
have the effect of invalidating the APP
nIications. and ban has been put by
the superintendent on this method.
In his letter to the notaries he states
that the employment of such methods
not only gives the city a bad name
among the visitors, but also that II
would not be tolerated by him ana
that the regulations will be strictly
enforced.
Indian Allotment Plan Incorrect.
The plats showing the allotment OF
tho Indian lands in the Occur d Aiene
Indian reservation have arrived al

them however, has shown that there
exists in them many errors and II
was found necessary TO send them
hack to the general land office Tor
correction. They will be sent the
last NJ this week and it viii probably
take three weeks before the eorree-
lions can be made and they may be
returned to the local land office and
placed on file.

INSANITY WILL BE
THE DEFENSE
OF Mrs. Kate Collins, Who Shot and
Killed Her Husband.

PORTLAND, Ore, July 26.-In-
sanity will be the defense interposed
in the case of Mrs. Kate Collins, who
shot and killed her husband, DR.. r.
A. NJ. Collins, at their home Saturday
morning. 1t will be the contention
of her counsel, Judge II. L. Willis.
that she has been mentally unsound
from time to time for the past twenty
years. and that she is now hopelessly
insane. He declared today that suit
would be brought for her commit
ment to the asylum for the insane at
Salem Thursday. He states that it
would be entirely useless to try her
now on the charge of murder and as
serts that IL she did kill her husband
that he can procure evidence to show
that it was not through revenge. Mrs
Collins is still at Mountain View san.
itarium, where she Is under guard OF
a special policeman to prevent her
from committing suicide. Yesterday
she wrapped a towel around her neck
and tried to commit suicide by
strangling herself. This Is the fourth
attempt she has made to take her life
since she was arrested.

.WITTEN TAKES
HAND IN FIGHT
Says Some of Methods of Notaries
Must Be Changed

Forty-four thousand and sixty-six
nave now registered for land in the
Occur d'Alene Indian reservation.
The total registered for the Spokane
is little less than 43,376 and for the
Flathead 3O,766. 1t had ben antici-
pated that Saturday would be a ban
ner day, but it was only an average
one and 1t is not anticipated now that
the registration for the remainder of
the time allowed will exceed 5000
day, and the average will probably
not be that great. Judge Witten
does not now believe that the regis
tration for the Occur d'Alene reser-
walton will reach 100000. Half of
the registration period has already
gone by and, in his Judgment, the re-
naming days will not witness any
heavier registration, and he ex.
pressed it as his opinion today that
the registration would be between
$4,000 and 100000. The majority
registering are eastern people,
though there is still a heavy percent
age of applicants from the western
states.

Notar.ies stiIl Fight.

While the fight between the notar-
les for business abated for a while,
1t seems that it was but lull in the
battle and Superintendent Witten has
directed a strong circular-letter to
each advising him that certain prac-
tees INDUCED in for the purpose of
securing business must be called to
a halt. Ever since the registration
commenced he has been burdened
constantly with one notary after the
other coming to him and making
complaint against the tactics pursued
by another in securing business, and
the result has been that the superin-
tendent has succeeded in doing little
else than listen to the complaints of
notaries and bringing about an ad-
justment between them. In his let
ter he advised them that verbal com
plants will no longer be considered
or investigated, but that they must
file all the complaints in writing and
then formal action will be taken upon
them.

ALDRICH AND
PAYNE DISAGREE
The Senator Attempts to Force
Action Placing Duty on
Hides.

WASHINGTON, d, O., July &C..
Bitter words between Senator Aid.

before the close OF an hours session
OF the tariff conference last night are

by Aldrich to compel vote on a mo-
ton to make hides dutiable al ~
per cent, half Of the existing rates.
The session was adjourned until 2:s0
o'clock this afternoon, with the hide
aud leather tariff unsettled.
From the variety OF reports con-
corning the incident. none OF which
can be definitely confirmed. Il appears
that the senate leader was enragea
because of MIR. Payne's frequent
statements that the country and the
president were In sympathy with the
action Of the house In putting hides
on the free list and that he did not
purpose to be governed by what
majority OF the conferees thought.
Ghyhe won't NonheML.
A formal motion fixing ia per
cent as the rate on hides was made
yesterday. At that time Mr. Payne
is reported to have said he could no.
consent to vote. lie declared the
sentiment of the country favored free
hides and referred to the presidents
expressions.
During theamorning session yester-
day the eonGereos discussed the par
ltamentary situation and last night
the motion was renewed.
Mr.. Payne, it Is said. explained his
position Rith increased emphasis. Mr..
Aldrlch Is reported TO have upbralded
Mr.. Payne for his "obstlnacy' and 10
have said that he was tired OF dicta-
toriai methods" to defeat the will OF
majority OF the conferees. Mr..
Payne was unrelsntIng.
When II was seen that nothing
could be accomplished. Mr.. Payne's
signature being necessary TO a report,
the conference adjourned.
The story OF the intense feeling
leaked out through tho condolences
given by conferees to other congress-
men.
The house conferees continued In
session last night. discussing the sit
uatlon. Another conference attended
by Senators Warren and Clark, OF
Wyoming, Sutherland. Borah and
Dick was held. Earlier IN the day
Senator smoot and Senator Carter
had met with their western asRoci-
ates. These senators decided that
they would insist upon the shoemen

at the conclusion Of the conference 10
