Says Hatteberg Was Friendly.
He points out that Hatteberg
was his most intimate friend; that
the testimony of the dead man re-
suited in his acquittal when he
was arrested some time ago on the
charge of stealing automobile
blankets, and that he had no mo-
tive for making away with his
friend.
The police say they have evil
dence in their possession that
will show that Gohl lured HATTIE
berg and John Hoffman, who has
been missing for several months,
to his lonely cabin on Indian creek,
and there, after shooting both
men, disposed of the bodies in the
bay.
The police are also trying to
connect Gohl with the disappear
ance of two score sailors, whom
they allege placed their earnings
in the hands of the prisoner for
safe keeping.
At the time of Hatteberg's dis
the police say that
Gohl told them that the sailor had
gone to Alaska to accept a job as
caretaker of a lighthouse.

IMPROVING

(By United Press Leased Wire. J
PARIS, Feb. 4.-The Seine con-
tinues its steady recession today,
and 1t was predicted by the flu
vial department that it would
reach its normal level within a
week.
Conditions throughout the dis
tricts stricken by the flood were
generally improved today, and
the work of ministering to the
homeless and hungry was greatly
facilitated.
The July column in the bastile

sealing the tombs under the mon

loosened by the action of the wa

the public barred until they can be

dent belief that there was a sig
lnificant discrepancy in the ages of
the four babies. His statement
was followed by an investigation
of the unusual case in which the
entire city felt more than a neigh
borly interest.
When this investigation had
reached a certain stage, Mrs. Will
son gave up and confessed that
NOT ONE OF THE INFANTS
WAS HER OWN.
Then came other revelations,
more and more startling.
The babies, il was admitted, had
been collected with the aid of a
nurse. One of them, at least, had
come from. maternity home.
The original plan, she declared,
had been for a quintet, but the
nurse couldn't find five babies
that would answer the qualifica-
lions.

the congratulatory letter and pho
tograph from former President
Roosevelt, likewise, were the chill
dren of other women.
OF the IL children supposed to
have been born to her, but two
were her own, and one of these
had died in infancy.
Mrs. Wilson then declared her
intention of fighting for the pos
session of the children. The mat
ter was brought to the attention
of Judge Curtis Wilbur of the
juvenile court of Los Angeles, and
the quiet investigation that fol-
lowed brought forth the startling
admission by the superintendent
of a Los Angeles maternity hospi-
tai that she had placed" 800 in
fants that had come into the world
unwelcomed within the last few
years.
Immediately Judge Wilbur or
dered the grand jury to investi-
gate the case of the bankruptcies,
and If possible learn to whom they
actually owed their existence.

the conviction in the King county
courts of James. Montgomery of
Seattle, who must pay the penalty
for using the label of the Allied

Montgomery printed some cards

In the Montgomery case the SUI

DELAY
POWER
PLAN
AGITATION AGAINST PRESENT
PLAN OF FINANCING PROF.
ECT Is MAKING CONTRACT
oRS DOUBTFUL.

Local bankers and the city
treasurer have for the last week
been agitating a change in the
plan of procedure with reference
to the awarding of the contract
for the boring of the Nisqually
power plant tunnel. The call for
bids was made on the basis of the
contractor taking power plant
bonds or warrants for his pay.
Now the bankers and city
treasurer are urging that the war
rants be sold first and the con-
tractor paid in cash.
AS a result of this agitation
contractors are getting doubtful,
and there may be no bids at all
February 81, when they are to
come in. and thus the project will
be further delayed.
The parties starting this agita-
ton say the city is likely to lose
money by the present plan. 9th
ers say it looks like scheme of
local financiers to possibly get a
hand In the pie on the sale of the
warrants.
Local bankers are always in
sisting that they do not want city
bonds of this nature. When the
city had $3.50. 900 of special wa
ter warrants to sell they would not
take them until w. w. Seymour
agreed to take them, and then they
suddenly manifested a desire to
take the entire issue. 1t was rep
resented that it was merely an ac-
commodation to the city, however.
Recently the city wanted to re-
tire some of these warrants. 1t
had money to pay $16,500 of
them. But only $1,000 were
due, and the banks would not give
up dollar of the warrants beyond
what were due at the time.
City officials are wondering now
whether this talk about the
change in the plans for the power
plant construction is a scheme of
financiers to get hold of the power
plant bonds at bargain.

More than 1000, 900 acres of Indian
reservation lands in Yakima and Kick
itat counties in south central Washing
ton, will be opened for homestead pur
poses next September or October, ac-
cording to advices received from Wash
ington. 1t is announced that all the
survey work on the reservation proper
is completed, also that the allotments
to the Indians and the appraisement of
the surplus lands have been made The
timber land will be sold under sealed
bids, the rest being drawn for under
the lottery plan, similar to the method
employed at the opening of the Flat
head, the Occur dAlene and Spokane
reservations in 1909. The Yakima
reservation comprises 1,0l5, 900 acres, of
which 100, will be opened subject to
the Reclamation Act The United
States government is constructing an
irrigation plant to water that much
land. This land may be taken up in
farm units, ranging from 40 to 100
acres, depending upon the productivity
of the soil. The cost of the water right
depends upon the expenditure on the
canal and is pro rated against each acre
watered. The entryman has ten years
in which to pay for the water right,
without interest on deferred payments
A small charge is made on each acre
watered to maintain the canal, which
is later turned over to the settlers.
There will be very little Indian lands
within the grasp of the white man and
brother in the near future.

Mr.. Foss Has Been Heard From.

Eugene N. Foss has been heard from.
Mr.. Foss is the gentleman who, having
battledored and shuttlecocked between
political parties, finally landed in the
House of Representatives as Demo
crat from Massachusetts district few
weeks ago. Mr.. Foss has made his
maiden speech. and he devoted it to the
ubiquitous tariff His plan for the
Democratic party is to raise cry for an
extra session of congress next spring to
revise the tariff, the battle cry to be
free wool and cheap clothing" Said
MIR. Foss:
To-day millions of our people are de-
priyed of comfort and health, and even
of life, by the so-called protective tar
iff on wool and woolens for the benefit
of the sheep ranchers and wooden
trusts"
Certainly we have heard pretty much
the came cry before. Wasn't it issuing
with strong lungs from Massachusetts,
Yes, yes, to be sure. Give us free
hides and cheap shoesl" That was the
way the cattle cry" ran. "Give us
free hides and cheap shoes. Today mil.
lions are deprived of comfort and health
by the protective tariff on hides" and
so on.
Well, what happened? The very tar.
iff bill which Mr.. Foss now assails
placed hides on the free list Surely
the "cheap shoes" followed Not bit
of it. Hides, leather, and-shoes are
higher than ever.
Something seems to be askew with
the theory of Mr. Foss. But that is not
singular. Theory frequently goes to
pieces when it runs up against plain
facts. Philadelphia Inquirer.

Under the caption, Fuller is on the
Job, the Ishpeming Record prints the
following: There seems to be gen.
eral impression all over the state that
Auditor General Fuller may be re elect
ed this fall without opposition, even
from democratic source. Such thing
is quite unusual. At the same time Mr..
Fuller's case deserves unusual attention.
1t is practically certain that he will be
named by the Republican party without
a contest. His record for competency
in office is the highest recommendation
that can be given him. 1t is common
talk about Lansing that the auditor
generals department has never been in
such high state of general efficiency
as 1t is at the present time and it has
never been managed as economically.
Mr.. Fuller is good business man and
he has carried his business training in
to the work for the state, with the re-
suit that he has looked after the bust
ness of his commonwealth with the
same care and attention and desire for
results at low cost that any good bust
ness man would employ in his own bus
mess affairs. 1t is a good thing for the
state of Michigan to have an auditor
general as capable as Mr.. Fuller and it
is better thing to realize that the peo-
pie of the state know that fact so we'll
that they are practically unanimous in
desiring to retain him in office"
