EACH SHIP TRYING
To ESTABLISH
RECORD
CAN MONS AT GIBRALTAR
BOOM FAREWELL SALUTE
TO VESSELS AS THEY EN-
TER NERVE-RACKING CON-
TEST FOR SPEED.

GIBRALTAR, Feb. 8.-With
the cannon of a dozen foreign
warships in the harbor booming a
farewell salute and the guns Of
the impregnable British fortress
in the rock joining in a laundering
chorus, the American battleship
feet sailed on the last leg of the
greatest fleet cruise I'm history and
began the most spectacular portion
of their journey around the world.
In Single Column.
The fighting ships weighed an
chor at 8 O'Clock in the morning
and with the customary precision
steamed from the harbor in single
column formation, squadron by
squadron, with an equally inter-
vening space between each ship.
When the straight of Gibraltar
has been passed, the single col
umn formation will be broken and
the vessels with homeward bound
pennants fiuttering, will enter a
nerve-racking race for the Allan
tic shores of the United States.
Each For Itself.
1t will be each ship for itself in
an effort to establish a new speed
record in the navy. The engines
have been thoroughly overhauled,
the bunkers crammeds with coal
and the "black gangs" keyed up
to high pitch Of enthusiasm for
the finish.
The feet will rendezvous In
Hampton Roads, where 1t will be
reviewed by President Roosevelt
who will crown his presidential
service with a floating pageant
The vessels will then disperse tc
the various navy yards on the At
lantic coast and will undergo
whatever repairs may be neces-
sary.
Reports on their condition will
be forwarded to the navy depart
ment, but from the various reports
sent to the department from time
to time there is little likelihood
that any of the ships will need
serious overhauling.

OLYMPIA, Feb. 6.-The more
the proposed new criminal code
is investigated the more wonder
full and fearful it becomes. The
prosecution attorneys have at
tempted to regulate the newspa-
per business in it's news, advertis-
ing and business departments, and
their restrictions run all the way
from the prohibition of so-called
medical advertising to giving a
false circulation statement.
The code eliminates from the
news columns all murders. Muir
der, If the code should become
law, would be known only by
hearsay and word of mouth, until
after the person had been tried,
and If convicted no word of the
execution may be uttered.
The law in this respect does not
confine its retribution to the own
er or publisher of the newspaper
but grabs the reporter who writes
the "story" and makes him guilty
of gross misdemeanor.
Nothing that notorious wom-
an does may be mentioned, wheth-
er the deed is good, bad or indif-
ferent. The bill states fatty that
none of her may be mentioned.
If she is mangled in an auto acci-
dent, or saves a half donzen per-
sons from being burned to death,
nothing may be printed about it..
There are other matters that
the reporter may not inquire into
under the penalties of the bill, all
of which is upheld by the prose
cutting attorneys as for the public
good.
One provision is the result of a
certain newspapers efforts to en-
rage the populace to mob violence
in the case of young man who
killed a prominent Seattle citizen.
There is specific provision for
penalizing any newspaper melting
to breach of the peace.

Revelation of an astonishing num-

steal the public domain is contain
ed in a special report sent to Sec

H. H. Schwartz, chief of field SER
Vice of the general land office.
The report was sent to congress
by Secretary Garfield to support
his request for an appropriation of
q million for the work of detecting

is the first complete compilation
Of the status of land fraud cases
that has been made.

Alaska, cases involving lands val
ued at the immense sum of ST.
.2S8,800 are now pending either
before federal courts or are in pro-
cess of Investigation before the de-
partmental courts.

is good reason to believe that
every acre of land which is in the
hands of private individuals and
corporations, can be recovered.
\ Although there are fewer cases
In Nevada than in any of the six
states and two territories men,
toned, the land involved is worth

Austin, Texas. March 3.-Twenty-
five members of the senate have prac-

Meachum in the introduction of the
bill. According to this action on the
part of the senators, it is needless to

Guilty in passing the upper branch of
the legislature. 1t is expected that
the bill will also pass the house with
out any serious opposition. This mat

and some opposition sprang up to
the measure, and rather than have
any dissension concerning it Mrs.
Reagan had the bill withdrawn. At
the last democratic convention, held
at San Antonio on August 13, 1908, a
resolution was adopted favoring the
proposition for, the state to purchase
these valuable papers. This resolu-
ton was as follows:

prophet to tell what the governor
would do with it. With one thrust
of his knee blade he would decapitate
the measure. Even at it's best, there
is considerable doubt whether the
