Somebody said that Love was all de-

HARB0R
 AT KATALLA

There can be no question about the building of a harbor at Katalla. It will cost money, but lt remains to be seen if the several interests which now have a risht-ot.way to the coal fields of the Boring lake country will go ahead with the work they have laid out. That is what will hold back the investment which the people l represent are willing to make" said Major George B. Burbank at the ss. voy hotel last evening.
 On December 10 Major Burbank left New York to visit Kstslla and make report regarding the feasibil- ity of making an artificial harbor on Controller bay. He returned from there. he says, firmly convinced that such a harbor can be constructed.- Seattle P.I.

 No other words passed his lips until he sat in the chair. Goodbye, war den," he called out to Warden Frost. He kissed the cross again as the at tendants bound the straps about his face
 The murder for which Hampartjoo- milan was killed created international interest Hampartjoomaian acted as the agent for the Inner Circle of an Armenian revolutionary society known as the Hunchachists- The society de- manded immense sums of money from Tavshanjian- The money, the society claimed, was to have been used in the revolutionary efforts to overthrow the rule of Turkey in Armenia The po- lice declared. the society was using the revolution as a cloak for a. gigan- tic bIackmail.
 Tarshanjian received the demands made upon him with contempt. He was a close friends of Abdul Hamid, whom the revolutionists were trying nothing to aid the plot. even if it cost him his life On July 22 1907. while standing in front of his place of business in Union Square, Rampant 5oomian appeared and began firing. The rug merchant fell dead.

 He said he had placed a bottle of whiskey in a dark closet, not know ing there was another bottle in the some recess and groping in the dark had taken the wrong bottle.

IS EVERY MEMBER OF CLUB SELLING LIQUOR ILLEGALLY

Club, Raded by Police---EffOrt Will Be Made to Ob tain Courts Decision on Right of Clubs to- Sell.

The trials of those men arrested in the raid upon the Imperial Club rooms at 15S Fairfield avenue, yes- terday were continued this morning by Deputy Judge Frank Wilder to Dec. 13. The purpose of the con tinuance is to give Attorney Henry Greenstein, who will prosecute the cases, and Attorney Frederic Bartlett, who appears for the defendants, plenty of time to prepare. This is test case, the object of which is to get the court to decide whether the club, and others like it, are merely subterfuges for the sale of liquor on Sunday If a. conviction is found in these cases it will mean that the horde of small clubs recently organ ized will probably disorganize, or at least will not dare to handle liquor Attorney Bartlett told the court this morning that when the case was call ed for trial the first argument would be over the complaint against the men charging them with being prin- cipals. He will claim that only the steward or president of the club can be held as a principal Attorney Greenstein will attempt to prove that all members of the club can be held as principals
 Those arrested were John J. Egan, said to be president, James E. Daley,

STUDENTS RIOT IN.
 PARIS LAW SCHOOL
Cannon Crackers Thrown and Police
 Called to QneIl the Fighting.
Special from United Press.,l

Paris, Dec 6.-Another riotous dem- onstration by the students of the Law School today in which Professor Weiss was roughly thrown out of the pulpit just as he was preparing to open the days work, will probably result in the indefinite closing of the school.
 The Catholic students threw can dents were arrayed against each other today and in the melee, two students. young Delpech, son of Senator Del pech and Ward, were seriously injur- ed and a dozen or more slightly hurt.
 The Catholic students threw can non crackers and were met by the Re publicaRs who cried .Assassins." The light was not quelled until the police were called. lr~
 After the rioters were driven from the building. they built a huge bonfire close to the college library and it was only by the hardest work of the fire men that the flames were prevented fro mreaching the library.
 In order to reach the college auditor ium, the students massed in front of the big oak doors which were locked and by a concerted rush, succeeded in smashing them
 The faculty fears that if the school is not closed the students will des- troy the valuable scientific collections in the museums and the costly appar- atus of the laboratory.
 The firecrackers used by the rioters are equal to small bombs.
