COLLIER PLEADS GUILTY
Former Olympian Admits Land Fraud
To BE Sentenced July 3.

Surprising those who had been
watching the case, d. r. Collier Of
Oakville. brother of Attorney c. E.
Collier of this city and former resi-
dent of Olympia, pleaded guilty be-
fore Federal Judge Cushman in Taco
ma to the charge of using the mails
to defraud in an alleged illegal land
scheme, when his trial was about to
start Wednesday. He had entered q
plea of not guilty when arraigned
after his indictment by the federal
grand jury a couple of weeks ago.
Collier had two firms of attorneys,
Vance & Parr Of this city and Gordon
& Easterday of Tacoma, and both
sides had an array of witnesses in
court, when his counsel asked that he
be permitted to change his plea to
guilty. They urged that the court be
lenient and the district attorney sug-
gested the maximum fine Of $1,000
instead of a penitentiary sentence.
Judge Cushman will pass sentence
July 3 and in the meantime Collier
is free on $4,000 bond. Another
charge, in which his brother. the local
attorney. is indicted with him. is still
pending and will be heard in the Sep
tember term of the federal court.

II did more business on my present
trip to Olympia than on any of my
previous visits in the last four years"
was the way N. L. McLandress eX-
pressed himself when asked last Tues
day how he found business in the
city. McLandress represents Cragin
& Co. of Seattle, dealers in shop and
foundry supplies.
"It is not alone IN Olympia, but
everywhere for some months past"
Mr.. McLandress continued. "I have
found business growing where ma
chinery is wanted for manufacturing
or repairing work, and orders for ma
chinery from British Columbia are
coming into Washington in great vol
ume."
Mr.. McLandress expressed the opin-
ion that the improvement in business
conditions was due to an increasing
confidence in a return of prosperity
which was bringing out the boarded
money of which the public has been
hearing for some time past through
the public press.

Council RevOkes Unused Franchise
Court Action to Compel Paving.

Refusal of the Olympia Light &
Power company to pave between it's
street car tracks in the proposed new
paving district on East Fourth street,
from Eastside to Central street, and
to lower it's tracks to the new grade
on South Main street where paving
is now in progress, was met by the
city council this week by the passage
|of two ordinances, one amending the
|company's franchise to compel it to
pave between it's tracks on any i'm
proved street in the city, and the
other revoking it's unused franchise
on East Fourth from Central street
to the east city limits, and by in
structing the city attorney to start
court proceedings to compel the COM
pany to lower it's tracks on South
Main street and to pave between its
tracks in the proposed improvement
of East Fourth.
The new paving on East Fourth
was contingent upon the company
paving between it's tracks and for 18
inches on each side. Only one bid
was received by the council Wednes-
day night, the Independent Asphalt
Paving company offering to do the
work for $1.1O per yard. The i'm
provement will be held in allegiance
until the result of the city's action
against the company is determined.

The body was found about a mile
out of Gate on the trail to Bordeaux
Camp No. l, lying betw cen two logs
about 20 feet to the west of the trail,
in the brush. Friday and Saturday
searching parties from this city, Gate
and Bordeaux, had passed this point
several times, but the discovery was
not made until little dog belonging
to Robert Taylor of Tumwater shifted
at an object alongside the trail and
the party investigated. This search
ing party, headed by Deputy Sheriff
Judge Clarke, had left Tumwater at
1:45 Sunday morning and started
out on the trail from Gate at $40 a.

ALcIV OuuC
Weiss had left Olympia June on
a trip to the Bordeaux logging
camps, to f1t several suits for custo-
mers and to take other orders. He
had about $25 in cash with him.
From there he intended to go to
Shelton in connection with his tailor
ing business. When he left Olympia
he advised his family he would re-
turn in a day or two, but it was not
until Wednesday of last week, June
9, that they became alarmed and no.
titled the authorities, asking them,
however, not to disclose their appre-
hension. Late Thursday, however,
the news of his disappearance became
generally known and Friday Deputy
Sheriff Jack clifford, Harley Post,
Frank Rutledge, Robert Mcintosh
and Cyrus English made up one
searching party while Charles Tai
colt took out another.
They failed to discover any trace
of Weiss and 1t was not until Satur-
day that Lawrence Teasley. a young
man Of Gate, positively informed the
searchers he had seen Weiss get off
the train at that place June 8. Weiss
had bought ticket to Bordeaux
Junction and until Teasley came for
ward with this information 1t was
uncertain which route to Bordeaux
Weiss had taken. With this definite
clue to work on, steps were taken by
local authorities and friends Of Weiss
to organize a big searching party for
Sunday and this posse was just ready
to leave the city when the news that
the body had been found was re-
ceiyed, and they turned back.
Condition of the Body.
The body was Immediately brought
to Olympia and examination by un-
dertaker H. N. Sticklin disclosed that
death had been caused by a wound
from a 3S-calibre bullet which had
entered the head near the base of the
brain on the left side and come out
nm the right side of the nose. The
head was also badly bruised and the
derby hat he had worn was crushed.
Several clubs found near the BODY
are believed to have also been used
by the murderer when he hrst at
tackled his victim.
Previous to the discovery OF the
body the searchers had found a pair
of shoes along the trail and later in
yestigation showed they had been

Miss Sheldon Jared no better than
Miss Bjurstedt's other opponents and
was forced to bow to the Norwegian s
wonderful strength, both from back
court and at the net. Several times the
Montclair girl attempted to hold her
famous opponent off by going for the
barrier and trusting to her volleying
ability.
