OUTLAW ToRNOW is KILLED
Deputy Empties Rifle. in Fight,
Then Goes for Help.

Aberdeen, Wash. = John Tornow,
murderer of six persons, and one OF the
most hunted criminals known in
Northwestern annals, was found dead
before his lonely shack in the Olympic
foothills, having met his Nemesis in
Giles Quimby, deputy sheriff of Che
halls county, who killed the outlaw af-
ter duel following the merciless
murder of Charles Lathrop and Louis
Blair, trappers, who were hunting
Tornow in hope of $4,000 reward which
had been hanging for the past year.
The three bodies were found in the
clearing around Tornow's cabin in the
forest by the posse which responded to
the alarm given by Quimby.
The finding of Tornow's body sub
stantiated the statement of Deputy
Sheriff Quimby that he had seen the
hermit outlaw fall as Quimby fired the
last shot in the magazine of his rifle.
Quimby, not seeing any sign of life
after Tornow fell back into the under
brush, feared the outlaw was resort
ing to a ruse to entice him from cover
and hurried back to camp to summon
help, leaving the bodies Of his COM
rades lying where they fell, Lathrop
and Blair having died before they had
a chance to fire shot.
Tornow's body was found not more
than eight feet from those of his latest
victims by Sheriff Schell Mathews and
posse, according to telephone COM
munication received by way of the
Simpson Logging company's camp No.
5.
Tornow had been shot by Quimby
once through the shoulder and once
through the head. The latter shot had
killed him instantly, it is believed.
Blair was shot through the neck and
Lathrop was shot twice in the head
and shoulder.

the Washington Boys and Girls Agri-
cultural and Industrial contest, : stated
Mrs. Josephine C. Preston, state
Superintendent of public instruction,
on her arrival here.
"For the benefit of those who do
not appreciate the value of this big
work, would direct attention to the
success Oregon has made in the same
line," Mrs. Preston continued. 81
hope our plans continue to be as sue
cessful as they have proved thus far.
81. L. Dumas, of Pullman, our state
organizer, has been holding commun-
ity meetings on the East Side. He
reports great interest on the part of
the public. School superintendent,
county commissioners, commercial
clubs and bankers are taking hold of
the work with will, and l am glad
to say organization work in the var
ious counties and supervisory districts
thus far approached is on a very salts
factory basis.
"For the last five weeks l have been
working on the contest in Western
Washington, where ! found everybody
enthusiastic. Before leaving Olympia
met the county school superintend-
ents from Pierce and Lewis counties,
and together we worked out plans of
action. All that is needed on the
West Side now is the presence of Mr..
Dumas"
Gordon C. Corbaley, of Spokane,

WILSON CONSIDERS PROTEST
Keeps in Close Touch With Jap
Question in California.

Washington, D. president VIII
son is keeping in close touch with the
situation both in Japan and Califomh
over the proposed alien land legisls
tion. He read with interest dispatch
es from Toxic describing popular feel
ing against the bills and studied the
text of the pending measures as well
as synopsis of similar laws in New
York and Texas.
The President told his callers Sat-
urday that the Federal government Of
necessity must refrain from interfer.
ence with California while in the pro-
cess of legislating and could not make
its attitude known to inquiring na-
lions until the bills were passed.
He added, however, that if any i'm
preston had been circulated in Japan
that the administration here had be-
come Indifferent to the developments
in California, such a view was unjus
titled and that judgment as to the
measures should be withheld until they
were finally framed and passed.

NO MONEY; NO FARM ADVISOR
Development League Hears There
Is No Federal Appropriation.

Davenport-Word has been received
bv the Lincoln County Development
league that the appropriation for farm
bureau work failed to materialize at
Washington, D. c., and consequently
the $1,000 annually counted upon for q
fund for an agricultural advisor for
Lincoln county will not be available
this year. Not entirely disheartened
by the news, leaders in the league,
among them Robert Cunning, HIM.
Hansen, N. Russell Hill and Almer
McCurtain, appeared before the board
of county commissioners and appealed
for an appropriation which, added to
the $1,000 raised by popular subscrip-
ton and the $1,000 expected from a
Chicago firm, will enable the employ
ment of an expert. Ex-senator G..
E. Myers talked for the proposition.
The commissioners came to no definite
conclusion and probably will not until
their May meeting, when it is thought
that the sentiment for or against the
move may be ascertained. If an ap-
preparation is made it will be for
about $1,000.

Seattle Opposes Land Bill.

Seattle The Seattle chamber of
commerce has sent the following tele-
gram to the chamber of commerce of
San Francisco and San Diego in ans
wer to requests for the opinion of the
local organization on the alien land
bill pending in the California legisla-
ture:
.'The chamber always insisted that
legislation relating to aliens should
apply to all nationalities alike. We
believe enactment by any coast state
of laws directly or indirectly discrim-
mating against any nationality will
greatly embarrass commercial rela-
tions with the people of countries af-
fected, with the resentment centering
against trade through states passing
such laws, but in effect impairing the
volume of business for the entire coun-
try and subjecting to severe strain all
international relations.

SECRETARY WARNS HAZERS
Imprisonment to Be Added to Dis
missal Penalty in Future.

Washington, D. C.-With the an
nouncement of his approval of the SEN
tence of the court which dismissed
James C.. Cook from the Naval Acad-
envy for hazing, Secretary Daniels
sent letter to every midshipman at
Annapolis warning each that hereafter
no leniency will be shown hazers, who,
in addition to being dismissed, will
receive the additional penalty of inn
prisonment as provided by law.
''The sentence of confinement would
be justified in Cooks case," said Sec
rotary Daniels, "but as have not had
an opportunity to issue a warning be-
fore, l have let the sentence stand at
dismissal. Your hazer is essentially a
bully and must necessarily have a
streak of innate cruelty. The United
States Navy has no place for youths of
this kind
The victim of Midshipman Cooks
hazing was Midshipman Newbold
Lodge, of Michigan, who was made to
stand on his head and do other stunts
by Cook.

ALIEN LAND BILL AMENDED
California House Passes Proposed
Measure in New Form.

Sacramento, Cal. - An antl-aiien
land ownership bill, designed primarily
to prevent japanese from acquiring
title to real property within the state,
but so worded as to prohibit any alien
from owning land more than one year
except on declaration Of his inten-
ton to become citizen was passed by
the lower house of the Legislature by a
vote Of 60 to Is. The measure was
drafted by a subcommittee Of the ju-
dietary committee as substitute for
other bills, all of which specifically
provided that "aliens ineligible to cit
izenship" should not hold lands.
The committee, however, proceeded
on the theory that such statute
might be held in violation of the
treaty rights Of Japanese subjects and
broadened the measure to include all
aliens who had not declared their in
tention to become citizens.
In order not to embarrass foreign
corporations of large interest in the
state, the committee did make the cor
poration clause Of the bill, section 8,
apply only to "aliens not eligible to
citizenship"

WHITE HOUSE MUCH PUZZLED
How to Appease Japanese Opinion
Is Question That Worries.

Washington, D. ~C.-Comparison of
the proposed alien land holding legis-
lation in California with similar stat
utes in force for years in the District
of Columbia and several states reveal
ed to the White House officials in
creased difficulty in handling the pro-
test entered by Japan.
1t was pointed out at the White
House that no foreign nation ever had
entered protest against these existing
laws. Incidentally word reached here
that while the bills in the senate and
house at Sacramento differed, event.
ually bill would be agreed on along
the lines of alien land laws in New
York state and the District of Column
bia.
The Federal government is not san
guine Of appeasing popular opinion in
Japan, though it does hope to satisfy
the Toxic government of its helpless
ness to effect changes that would re-
move entirely the Japanese objections.

ARIZONA HAS ALIEN STATUTE
Federal Officials Discover Law That
Never Has Been Enforced.

Phoenix, Ariz.-That Arizona has a
law-forgotten since its enactment a
year prohibiting persons not eli
gible to American citizenship from ac-
quiring title to real property in this
state, was brought to the attention of
Federal officials here Thursday.
The government authorities said
they would call the measure, enforce
ment of which never has been attempt
ed, to the attention of the State de-
partment. Under the provisions of
the law all aliens holding land at the
time of its enactment must surrender
title within five years.
Even when title is acquired by the
enforcement of liens or judgment, tt
tie must be surrendered in the same
period of time. The law, however,
does not apply to mining claims or to
lands considered necessary for the
operation of mines or reduction works.

section said:
Nothing short Of a miracle can
keep us from having a bumper crop of
all kinds of fruit this year. While /
do not look for so heavy crop as last
year, it will be of better size, and last
year we had really too much. Peaches
are in blossom now and cherries will
blossom in few days. Apricots will
yield big crop, and this is the first
year in my experience as fruit raiser
that the apricot buds have not been
nipped to some extent by the frost.
Conditions have been ideal and we will
have one of the best crops for many
