of reach Just as the beasts jaws
snapped together under his feet
and the body crashed against the
tree trun6.
When Anderson got his breath
he looked down and started to
count the snarling pack.
There were 27 of them.
An hour passed, and still they
were leaping and yelplng. An
other hour passed and their zeal
waned a little. They trotted
back and forth under the tree,
while Anderson clung and shiv-
cred.
Anderson grew numb from the
cold. Midnight came, and still
the wolves kept up their vigil.
The hours heightened into ages.
He started to pray for dawn,
because he did not want to die in
the dark. And then
Anderson felt a blow that
knocked him back to conscious
ness. He was on the ground and
it was daylight. And the wolves
were gone. He felt himself all
over, kneaded his numbed mus
cles and found that he could rise
and walk. Then he went and got
his discarded gun and made his
way home.

COVERT N Err
SIGNS BILL

SACRAMENTO, May 19.--
Johnson signed the anti-alien bill
today. The law prevents the own
ership of agricultural lands in
California by japanese and other
aliens ineligible to citizenship,
although it permits three-year
leaseholds, which will be renewed
by rotation. With his signature
California, despite threats of a
diplomatic breach with Japan and
most urgent protests from the ma
tional administration, has taken
the final step enacting the law to
prevent acquisition of agricultural
lands by Asiatics. In connection
with his approval of the measure
Johnson had little to say.
Bryan said in all probability
the administration reply to ia
pans protest would be forwarded
to Toxic later in the day. Bryan
said he had received no official
information about Johnson's sign
ing, and would await such word.

the unusual exhibit entered this
morning in the divorce trial of
Brautigan VS.. Brautigan.
The weapon had formed a bone
of contention between the Brauti-
gans with such increasing intens-
ity of feeling that it finally caused
a separation and plea for divorce.
According to husband and wife,
during recent years of their mar
ried life, the first one who
grabbed the gun gained his point
in the marital arguments.
The Brautigans have lived at
Gig Harbor for their entire mar
ried life-11 years.

ISHPEMING, Mich, May To-
The next time Arvid Anderson
goes hunting he's going to take
along few extra cartridges and
save them for wolves. But he
isn't going hunting again right
away. He says the experience he
has had will last him for a while.
Anderson had spent the day
hunting i'm the Silver Greek dis
trict, with rather poor luck.
When he started home i'm the
evening his ammunition was near
ly exhausted.
While still several miles from
home and nearing big swamp
he heard what seemed to be the
wind moaning in the trees. But,
as the sounds grew louder, he
recognized them as wolf cries.
Looking furtively over his
shoulder, in the gathering shad-
ows he saw a gaunt, gray shape
leap from the swamp and dart to-
ward him. Then another gray
form appeared, and another and
another.
Anderson started to run. He
ran as he had never run before.
To gain time he opened his
game bag as he ran and scattered
the contents on the ground.
From behind him came the yelps
and snarls of the hungry wolves
fighting over the food, then the
charms of mournfuI howls came
TO his ears again and the pack
was after him once more.
: The leader of the pack was not
a dozen yards behind him when
he reached tree. With wild
leap he grasped the lower
branches aud pulled himself out

Mayor Seymour is not in SYM
pathy with the present scheme for
investigation.
He believes If there has been
laxity in the police department 1t
was up to the chief to know 1t
and he Is inclined to think appar-
emily the chief did know it. lie
therefore does not look for results
from any investigation, grand
jury or otherwise, started by the
chief.
Commissioner Mills has inti-
mated that the mayor wants the
chief removed, or at least investi-
gated. Loomis has been more or
less discussed ever since he was
named for police chief by reason
of his sudden departure between
two days from his former home in
Minneapolis during the investi-
cation of the Shame of Minneap-
oils" at which time he was close
to DR.. Ames, the mayor.
Commissioner Freeland Will be
in Minneapolis next week and he
may look into the history of tine
chief.
Mills has now apparently de-
cided to go after the blind pigs
in the city and prevent another
such object lesson as was given
when the sheriff rounded up a lot
of them and exposed bad con.
dition.
License Inspector Flynn this
morning said he had never made
any investigation of the places
that held government licenses thai
did not have city licenses.
They simply were ignored and
allowed to run as they pleased ap
parently.

PREFERS TO LET BURGLAR

REVOLVER.

Unwilling to commit murder in
order to capture burglar whom
he had thwarted i'm the midst of
his midnight work, Deputy Sher-
if George e. Stone last night per-
mitted the thief to escape, send
ing a steel-tipped bullet whizzing
after him as he plunged down a
stairway.
The burglar was attempting to
enter rooms in the Crescent hotel,
18th and G streets, conducted by
the deputy sheriff. Stone was
awakened when a flash of light
shot over his transom from an
electric torch held by the marau-
der.
Selling his automatic revolver,
the deputy crept to the hall. An
instant later the thief crept to-
wards the head of the hotel stairs,
his body bent almost double.
"Hands up!" shouted the depu-
ty.
The thief continued to creep to-
ward the stairs. In the intense
darkness, Stone saw a metallic
flash from the burglars hand.
The officer hesitated to shoot,
realizing that shot in the dark
ness would undoubtedly prove IA
tai
Suddenly the burglar dashed
for the stairs, leaping down to the
G street entrance with a crash.
Stone fired one shot in the dark
ness to speed the thief on his way.
An investigation showed that
the burglar had picked lock on
the door of r. A. Bottoms room,
while the occupant slept, out that
nothing was missing.
I'm glad i let the man go, !"
said Stone today. II couldn't
shoot in the dark without Killing
him, and I'd whole lot rather
lose some of my property than
kill a man. l guess that shot
gave him enough fright TO put all
notions of burglary out of his
head for some time"

The money to be paid on the state

it is intended for There should re
suit from the one appropriation a sub

crete walks approaching the Capitol.
1t should be d better piece OF work
than that which has been done on
other state work It is a necessity and
one which the members Of the Legis~
lature approved, as they were shown
its necessity. The return to the state
must be high-class work and no drag
downs or graft in any connection with
the improvements that are contem-
plated. Carson in this line has been
well treated and she must reciprocate
by seeing that the state is given a dol
lars worth oof value for every dol

as sugge sted before. go even further,
attend to its civic needs and make a

A REVIEW Of
L|DDEL BILL

The Liddell general election bill.
which passed after a stormy session,
has several new features althoue III
the main it is but a re-clas hcatior
OF the old law. so that it may be cas-
e. to read and understand
The new features consist in the rule
that voters must disclose their poll
tics when they register for the prima-
ries. and then when they vote the
judge of election shall give them a
ballot of the party of the party to
which they belong according to the
book That will mean separate bal
lots but it will not necessarily mean
the disclosure Of the olitical faith OF
the voter TO the ublic in the same
manner as if he were required TO
walk in and ask for certain ballot.
Another provision requires inde
pendent candidates to announce them
selves before the primaries or else re-
frain from their independence after
wards. They must also pay the same
fee for filing an independent petition
as party petition.
