STILL TURNING THEM OUT.

Paw Paw has long enjoyed the reputa-
ton of being the banner baseball town in
the country. 1t has turned out many
CLASSY players who have made good 10
the big leagues and the best part of it is
that We continue to grind them out The
latest bit of news in Paw Paw base ball
history is that George Longwell, one Of
the stars in last years high school team,
will graduate into professional ball next
JASON He has already received an offer
from Manager Ryan or the New Orleans
team at salary of Sl75 per month to
start the season. 1t is understood also
that Bay City is bidding for him. George
will probably meet a representative OF
the New Orleans team in the near flu
ture and close the contract.

Coroner's Theory.

It is the coroner's theory that
Seeley came to his death by drown
ing in the bath tub. There Is no
mark of violence on his body. Not
an article of value in the house, SO
far as known, Is missing; appar-
emily nothing had been disturbed.
All the doors and windows were
fast.
These facts, the police believe.
discredit the theory Of a triple
murder for robbery by a fourth
party.
It is the theory of Coroner J. G.
Snyder and the police that SeeIey,
driven insane by worry. over I'm
ancial troubles, murdered his wife
and daughter and took his own
life. The instrument with which
the women were killed. however,
is missing.
Worried because Of the nom
appearance Of any member Of the
Seeley family during Friday and
Saturday, and unable to explain
their disappearance, Smelser and
Zibbell made their way into the

president-elect, arrived here today
In response to q summons to ap-
pear before the federal grand jury
and testify in the Investigation of
the charges made by the New

While the government is osten-

was rumored today that Mr.. Taft
and Douglas Robinson, brother
in-law of President Roosevelt,
who, the New York paper alleged,
benefited through the purchase,
are the real prosecutors.
If found guilty ON the charge
of libel the editor of the World

OLYMPIA, Jan. 18.--The pub
lie printer and the law which reg
ulates his compensation is one of
the problems confronting the Leg
islature, at least that portion of
the body which has an interest
In state economy.
The law Is very kind to the
state printer and despite the fact
that he has not to contend with
the worries of soliciting business
and collecting accounts, and fret
ting with bad debts it gets con-
siderably more than the ordinary
commercial print shop man.
This was one of the reasons
for the passage of the senate res
olution looking for the printing of
no duplicate bills. Ole Hanson
and his racetsack bill was a d.
verting incident, but the fact re-
mains that when two bills are In
troduced, one in the senate and
|one In the house, and both identi-
cal to the last comma with the ex-
|ception Of the name OF the spon-
|sor of the bill and the house OF
senate designation, the printer
gets his pay exactly as II he had
printed two bills

TRIP HOME POSTPONED

(By United Press Leased Wire. J
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 49,
Governor-elect Cosgrove's trip te
Olympia has been indefinitely
postponed. Word was received
from Paso Robles today by South
ern Pacific officials to cancel all
orders for the moving of the priv
ate car California, in which the
governor-elect will travel to
Washington.
At Paso Robles tonight It was
said the severe weather In the
North and the uncertainty with
which trains were being moved
had determined Mr.. Cosgrove to
postpone his trip.
Recent visitors to Paso Robles
state, however, that the governor
elect is not progressing as rapidly
toward recovery as formerly.
The recent bad weather is said
to have depressed Mr.. Cosgrove,
and his condition Is causing his
physicians some uneasiness.
The physicians are not at all
anxious for the governor to &c
north at the present time.
He, however, has set his mind
on the trip, and not to excite him
his advisers gave way to his
wishes. They are, however, using
every pretext to postpone the
journey.

CONSTRUCTION OF LINE FROM

TACOMA SWAMP IS COM
MENCED.
TUNNEL WORK IS NEXT

Construction work on the Union
Pacific line in Tacoma was COM
menced today.
Contractors Dibble & Haw-
thorne this morning with a large
force of men started operations on
the u. P. right-of-way between
the Center street tunnel portal
and the Sout hTacoma swamp.
The rails and ties for this line
arrived last week, as was publish
ed exclusively in the Times.
Everything has now been clear
ed up for the final letting of the
contract and the beginning of
work On the construction of the
tunnel.
City Makes Big Deal.
Saturday Commissioner McGre-
gor completed arrangements with
both the Union Pacific and North
ern Pacific for the carrying of the
dirt from the tunnel on the north
end and down to the big gulch for
the filling of the gulch at Pacific
avenue. The city has been nego-
tiating with the Union Pacific for
ten days on this an dit has held up
the contract until the city could
get authority fro mthe N. P. at
st. Paul. This authority came
Saturday and the deal was closed.
This makes it possible for the
Union Pacific to get busy at once.
BY the present plans the dirt
from the south end of the tunnel
will be carried to the South Taco
ma swamps. That in the north
end will be given to the city and
will be dumped under the Pacific
avenue bridge to fill the gulch.
If there is more than is needed
it will be used to fill up under the
Yakima avenue bridge.
AS soon as Dibble & Hawthorne
finish laying the track to the
South Tacoma swamp it is expect
ed Contractors Huson & Rydstrom
will get busy on the tunnel.

LIFE
IN BOX
CAR
FROZEN BODY OF UNKNOWN
MAN FOUND IN NORTHERN
PACIFIC YARDS-WAS WELL
DRESSED.


Crawling into a boxcar of a
Northern Pacific train at some way
station east of Tacoma, an un-
known man committed suicide by
swallowing the contents of a car
bolic acid phial. His body, froz-
en- solid and covered with a coat
ing of ice, was found this morn
ing when the car, which has stood
in the local yards since January
1, was pulled to the freight sheds
here for loading.
The man was about 45 years
old, was well dressed. and had
$40 sewed to the lining of his
vest, besides several dollars in his
clothing. A Seattle newspaper
and a check numbered A57 of the
Main Laundry, Seattle, were the
only effects on his clothing.
Autopsy Is Held.
An autopsy was held this after
noon at Buckley & Kings under
taking establishment, and the
marks of acid burning were found
in the mans stomach. His lips
were not burned, attesting to the
fact that he bolted the acid down
in one gulp.
Dead Three Weeks.
DR.. Kunz, who conducted the
autopsy, stated that he believed
the man had been dead three
weeks, and since the car arrived
in Tacoma, January 1, he is be-
lieved to have entered it in the
mountain district.
There are small chances of iden-
tification of the man, as his face
has been frozen beyond recogni-
tion. Coroner Shaver is working
on the Seattle clue and will make
an attempt to find something
definite about the man.

tracing those who succeeded in
escaping the officers.
Several days ago a prominent
and wealthy woman, whose name
is withheld, received a letter de-
manding that $4,000 in cash be
left at spot designated in the
communication.
She notified the authorities who
laid trap for the Black Hand
ers. The officers lay in ambush
and on the appearance of the
bandits opened fire.
On account of the suddenness
of the attack the Black, Hand gang
was unable to offer much resist

None of the men was seriously
