PARIS, Oct. 13.-Is the spirit of
the dead French aviator, Eugene
Lefebvre, who was killed few
weeks ago in a fall of his biplane,
to watch over and warn living
aviators of coming dangers?
VIM. T. Stead, the English writ
er, declares that communication
between the dead and the living
Is a simple thing. To prove this
he claims he has talked with many
departed beings.
One of these, he declares, was
Lefebvre, the gallant Frenchman
who met his death at Juvisy, near
Paris, in September. Stead, be-
fore the seance during which Le-
febvre is said to have talked, had
never heard of Lefebvre.
But what Stead actually heard
was Lefebyre's own story of how
the airship man saw himself killed
as his spirit, separated from his
body, scared above the earth like
his aircraft had done!
"Who is it that speaks?" asked
Stead.
81 have been dead for some
time" the answer came back from
the Great Beyond. II am Lefeb-
Ivre."
Several other questions fol-
lowed, answers to which further
identified the dead aviator. Stead
had been invited to go to Chalons
to see a friend, named Bolotoff
fly. So he asked:
do you know the Bolotoff aero

.LAUzON CASE
UP TONIGHT

The council will tonight settle
the case of City Electrician Lau-
ION. The administration has
been trying ever since it came In
to GUST Lauzon but the council
has never been in favor of remov-
ing him in view OF the valuable
work he had done in the last two
years in building up the light sys-
TEN.
All the city business has been
run more or less loosely however,
and Councilman Turnbull, assisted
by Chief Clerk Shelter in the
commissioners office, Statistician
Weatherby and other enemies OF
Lauzon in the city hall, have
gathered together some incidents
of carelessness on the part of the
official that they hope will in
duce the council tonight to bounce
him.

GIVE ALASKA SELF

BRYAN
(By United Press Leased Wire.

SEATTLE, Oct. 13.-"Alaska
should have the right of self-gov-
eminent, said William Jennings
Bryan at the close of his address
at the exposition yesterday, In
answer to President Taft's speech
here recently in which he opposed
home rule for Alaska.
Pioneers of this great North
west, men farsighted, resolute of
purpose, who braved the dangers
of the wilderness in Alaska have
asked that they be recognized as
capable of attending to their
own affairs. You cannot refuse
them without reflecting on the
principle of self-government."
Bryan also scored Taft's posi-,
ton on the new tariff. "In order
that the party may stand together
| he thinks it better to defend g
wrong than oppose it," said the
Commoner. He also opposed the
ship subsidy, and urged that in
stead of building battleships the
government build it's own mer
chants marine with the money.

I All the records, representing

the $4,000 in question, were re-

The money which 1t is alleged
was expended by Snow without
the knowledge of the state high

was derived from the sale by the
commissioner to the Milwaukee
railroad of a right of way through
the Snoqualmie pass.

They haven't much of Jail here,
but they want to keep what they
have. So Constable John Mueller
considered it his "bounden duty"
last week to turn loose Mike Xiii
ma, a prisoner. Klima amused
himself In bis cell, which occupies
part of the storebox-like Jail, by
pulling It to pieces.
While Mueller was playing pin
ochle nearby. Klima tore down
about half the jail. That half
looked like kindling wood.
Better good jail than a good
prisoner" said Mueller, and let
Klima out.

MAN CONVICTED OF INCITING
RIOTS IN BARCELONA is
EXECUTED.

LONDON, Oct. 13.-The Ex-
change company's Madrid CORE
spondent telegraphed today that
Professor Francisco Ferrer, who
was convicted of melting riots in
Barcelona recently, was shot this
morning at Fortress Montjuich.
The official verification of the
execution of Ferrer probably will
be the signal for further rioting
in Barcelona.
Last night the socialists in
Paris and London held mass meet
ings to express their sympathy
with the stand taken by Ferrer.
Some of the newspapers de-
clared the trial of Ferrer to be a
travesty on justice. Ferrer had
been imprisoned in Fortress Mont
juich since the recent outbreaks
in Barcelona.
PARIS, Oct. 13.-Dispatches
received here today from BARGE
Iona confirm the report that Pro-
fessor Ferrer was shot at Fort
ress Montjuich this morning.
