Plea for Beauty Spot

Everything was correct The COM
mittee smiled. The subcommittee
smirzed. The city's representatives be-
gan 10 talk about returning home. A
few days later Doctor Giannini, walk
ing aimlessly through the corridors,
thought he recognized familiar voice,
spouting familiar phrases before the
committee on public lands. Opening
the door he peeped IN and saw E J.
NcCutcheon. attorney for the Spring
Valley water company, IN the throes Of
an agonized plea against the "dismem-
berment Of a spot, magnificent in its
natural beauty, a veritable paradise,
gentlemen" etc.
NcCutcheOn on natural beauty sounded
ominous. Giannini took a seat. Nc
CutcheOn, after fervid picturing Of
blue skies and gorgeous colorings, de-
clared that the passage of the Hetch
Hetchy bin would harm Spring Valley,
that il would be held as a club over the
head Of a righteous corporation. Where
upon Giannini became very busy. He
discovered that the members Of the
committee on public lands. which prior
TO Spring Valleys inception into the
proceedings had not cared a continental
for blue skies and natures imprint,
Immediately developed acute cases of
the subject. McCutcheon gave them
Underwood Johnson, editor OF a fresh
air magazine. Johnson said he thought
Hetch Hetchy was the most sublime
place on the face Of the earth that it
contained more natural beauty than
Central park and the zoo rolled into
one. He was. however. fired forth in
ignominy when he admitted that he had
never seen the place.
Secures New Witness
McCutcheon frowned and haled be-
fore the committee one named Greg
ory. II took six quotations from
MiIton's Paradise Lost for Gregory
TO show his love for Hetch Hetchy.
He said that the paradise described by
Virgil and a recitation from
Milton was not to be compared to the
valley He was a trihe better in
formed than Johnson. inasmuch as he
had beeen within eight miles Of il.
but he admitted his inability to see
through a couple OF mountains and a
forest.
In the face of this testimony on nat
ural beauty the congressional COM
nittee came to the sad conclusion that
the bill gave the secretary of the in
terior undue power and that il allowed
him to interfere with state rights.
This sounded legal and coincided with
the opinions or former Senator
Spooner, the same man whose wonder
ful political machine an irate Wiscon-
sin populace broke to pieces a few
years ago. Since then Spooner has
become a lobbyist Of the naughty type.
and when the Hetch Hetchy matter
came up was intense in his desire TO
block the bill

tion, busted himself in other quarters.

committee gave its learned decision.
Also ne had the bin introduced In the
senate, but il was a forlorn hope.
Senator Newlands Of Nevada for
merly attorney for the Spring Valley
water company, was on the senate
committee on public lands and. as
was expected, became an enthusiastic
nature lover" Smoot Of Utah and
Fulton Of Oregon upheld him.

MURDER MYSTERY
PUZZLES SLEUTHS
Well Dressed Man Slain and
Body Found Half Covered
With Snow

WASHINGTON, March THE body
Of well dressed man. partly covered
with snow and with a ragged wound in
andria. Va, a short distance from
Washington. In the pockets of the
clothing were found a travellers check
for $500 issued by the Wells-Fargo
express company at Los Angeles, pay
able to Walter F. Schultz, card bear
ing the same name. but with an ad-
dress of 1914 Douglas street, Sioux City,
Iowa. and another card which bears
the name Of Mrs. Alma Hume Gillette.
The police regard the case as a cold
mystifying crimes ever committed in
this section. A motive is lacking, and
the identity of the man supposed to be
Schultz is by no means complete. The
cards and other papers found in the
clothes are believed to have been placed
there by the slayer.
The theory that the man had COM
mitted suicide is not credited because
Of the peculiar wound and the fact that
no weapon of any sort was found near
the body.
After working all day upon all sorts
of clews, the Alexandria police believe
the murdered man was an inaugura-
ton visitor who was lured away from
the city, murdered. and his body thrown
into a field, where it was found, about
400 yards from the Alexandria railroad
station.
The authorities believe they will es-
tablish the identity of the victim from
letter without envelope, evidently be-
longing to the victim. 1t was dated
Sioux City, Iowa, December 30" and
signed your sister, Ellen Dorothy"
The man was apparently 35 years old
and his appearance was that of pros
porous businessman.

MOTHER SAW DEAD
SON IN HER DREAMS
Mrs. Sutton Dramatically Tells of
Vision of Her Son Seen After He
Had Died at Annapolis.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Aug. 10.-De-
claring that her son appeared to her
in a vision after he was dead, Mrs.
Sutton, mother of the late Lieut..
James N. Sutton. today dramatically
told the story of the dream that led to
the present investigation. She had
been asked why she attacked certain
men in her letters to navy officials,
and she replied.
1.-The love between Jimmie and me
was the greatest that could possibly
exist between two people. If Jimmie
met with an accident, I felt it i'm
mediately.
1.-The night that those beasts were
laying their plans for Jimmie, an
awful fear came over me.
1.-THE next morning Mr.. Sutton told
me that Jimmie was supposed to have
killed himself.
"Oh, God, if Jimmie hadn't spoken
to me then l would have died
Then Jimmie came to me and said
Mother dear, don't believe it: I never
killed myself. Adams, killed me.
They beat me to death, and then
Adams shot to hide the crime.'"
The remarkable testimony came out
when Mrs. Sutton was under cross
examination by Attorney Birney. who
represents Lieut.. Adams, one of the
men who are before the inquiry in
the position of defendants.

HAASzE IS after
GENERAL EXHIBITS
Wants Every Rancher and Every
Rancher's Wife in the County to
Send Something for Display.

Grain, hay, fruits, in fact all the
samples of them, are wanted by Su-
perintendent e. j. Haasze for display
at the Yakima county building at the
fair at Seattle. This is the time when
these things are available and Mrl
Haasze knows that those produced in
produced anywhere else but are the
best kind of advertising. They are
the best kind of advertising because
the easterner who is at the exposition
seeking to become interested in some
section or other is looking for a coun-
try where he can do diversified farm
ing. He knows little or nothing about
fruit culture as it is carried on here.
He does know a great deal about stock
and about the various farm products
such as are mentioned above. He
knows when they are good and knows
what a country must be which pro-
duces them. This is the type of man
whom it is sought to interest. If after
locating here he desires to specialize
on fruit that is another consideration.
What Mr.. Haasze wants at the outset
is such a varied exhibit as will appeal
to all dissatisfied fasteners and lead
them to understand the all round
merit of the Yakima country.
Wants Women to Help.
Other things, however, are also
wanted by Mr.. Haasze. AS said he
wants samples of everything produced
in the country. He wants samples,
also, of the manufactured articles. He
wants the women of the county to
come to the front with canned fruit
and jellies. These, of course, will be
returned at the close of the fair
This, according to Mr. Haasze, and
he is right, is the time when Yakima
can make its best display. To do this,
however, there must be general CO.
operation. Everybody must take a
hand and send the best samples they
have. There is an express Office on
the ground and the packages, if adj
dressed to the Yakima county build
ing, A.-Y.-P. fair grounds, will reach
him. All that is needed at this end
is the interest and the delivery of the
packages at the express office.

BLIND BOY IS
MUSICAL WONDER
Granger Lad Has Ear of Surprising
Acutencss and Future Is Pre-
dIcted for Him.

George Bailey, the 13 year old son
of Charles F. Bailey of Granger, is
musical wonder with big future be-
fore him, according to Prof. F. X.
Nagler, who heard the little fellow
play a few days ago. His ear is keenly
alive to every graduation of sound and
his musical achievements the more re-
markable in that he is blind.
His playing is full of promise"
said Prof Nagler His touch is that
of a mature man instead of a young
boy. What is more wonderful than
his execution, however, is his ear. I
played various notes on the violin,
asking each time. What note is that
George" He answered F sharp, or B
fiat, as the case might be; correctly
every time. Then | thought to de-
ceive him and turned the violin be-
low piano pitch, but he recognized
the key with no difficulty at all. He
is born musician. He will do some
thing"
To Study Violin.
Mr.. Bailey is anxious to have his
son study the violin, but at present
Georges course of study at the school
for the blind in California which he
attends does not leave him time for
the necessary work with the violin. He
has had piano lessons for several
years, using the specially prepared
musical scores made for the blind. He
plays capitally by ear, though, and
renders strains from the fine operas
he has heard surprisingly well. Prof.
Nagler says that he remembers tho
air and fakes the harmony but that
his musical ear is naturally so fine
that his "made-up'' harmony is pretty
nearly correct.
