Chinese, who the police said had taught
her to smoke opium and use drugs,
had beer with her shortly before she
died.
Police of the tenderloin station said
the girl was one of the prettiest who
ever had yielded to the lure of the
district. Several ome who knew
her said she had Leen asked repeatedly
to Jose as an artists model. bnt had
refused to dc so, lest her relatives
learn the life she was leading.
"She had been in the tenderloin four
years." said Clayton Burton. a tender
loin resident summoned as a witness.
"She was well educated. but got into
bad company through a visit to q
cafe, and then went to the tender
loin. | was told she was led there by
a former prize-fghter. She came to
my house with a Chinese several
weeks ago, hut | refused to admit
them"

WASHINGTON
Reds Shake Hands With the
President-Prosperity
Outlook

Washington, Feb. 27.-Sioux Indians
from the Pine Ridge reservation of
South Dakota shook hands with Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary Bryan.
They were presented by Senator
Sterling.
In the delegation were High Pipe,
Brave Bird, Hollow Horn Bear, SON
of the late chief, who died here dur
ing the Inauguration of President
Wilson, Quick Bear, Henry Horse
Looking. Charles Tackett VIM. Tbun-
der Hawk and Standing Elk.
James j. Hill talked with Presi
dent Wilson about conditions and said
after wards that the outlook for pros
peiity was bright, and that things
we're moving.
Mr.. Hill was mentioned recently as
a probable selection for the federal
reserve board. but administration
officials said he was not being con
sidered in that connection.
Ii was learned at the White House
later that Mr.. Hill advocated a rigid
regulation by the government, not only
of railway securities but of industrial
securities. He favored also. ii was
said, an early termination of pending
or proposed government investigation
of railroads so as to eliminate uncer.
tainty in the railway world as early
as possible. JUST what opinion the
president expressed on these subjects
was not divulged.

A half dozen horse wner have suf-

horses having died FROM the wounds
given them, while many others are

the mischief evidently uses a shot gun,
and the animals are badly marked by
the shot if not killed.
Bonesteel-A fire originated in the
