AUSTRIAN WHO WOULD BE CITIZEN, READY
 FOR SECOND HEARING

A telegram was received today by J. w. Bell clerk of the district court. from Miko Ukropino of Ketchikan, an Austrian. wanting to know if the Ial ter could be admitted to citizenship.
 When Judge Robert w. Jennings was holding court in Ketchikan he examined the applicant. who on ex- animation, showed lack of knowl- edge of American history. The judge took his case under advisement and suggested that he attend the night school in Ketchikan and brush up" on American history. and that when the court convened the next time in ketch!kan,, he would be given an ether chance. Evidently from the telegram the applicant thinks he now understands American history and is in a hurry to become a citi. zen of the United States.

White Canmbals on Pacific Island May Face European Wars
 Death Instruments

NEW YORK, Feb 1S.-Mustard gas and machine guns are to be used by Captain Harry de Windt. an English explorer against the poisoned arrows of a tribe described as White Cannibals' on Tiburon Island, on the Pacific Coast, he an- nounced here today. Captain de Windt said he would leave New York in a few days to lead an expe- dition of six civilians and three score Mexican soldiers to the island. Tiburon is said to have rich depos- ts of pitchblende from which rad ium is made
 The island is about 40 miles from Guaymas, Mexico, which in turn, is only about AS hours by rail from Coronado Beach, Cal The inhabi- tants are said to be descendants of Dutch, Swedish and German pris- cners who escaped from Mexican prisons several centuries ago. Of sixteen persons known to have vis- tied the island in the past few years, in parties of two and three, only nine are said to have returned alive, the others falling victims to the flaXen-haired, blue-eyed, White Indians" as the Mexican peons call them.
 -Four miles from the Mexican coast" said Dr. de Windt, ',Tiburon is easily accessible. sYaqui Indians, who live on the mainland, call Ti- buron the Island of Death for the reason that any person who lands on it is shot by poisoned darts and then eaten by the Natives. The cannibals, in addition to bows and arrows, use an ancient blunderbuss They are supposed to number from 800 to 2,000 persons.
 Besides myself the expedition I will lead will consist of Macken- zie Grieve, the companion of Harry Hawker, when he fell during his attempted transatlantic flight; an expert radium mining engineer, an expert copper mining engineer; An ton Gibbon, nephew of President Carranza of Mexico. in whose name the concession permitting the ex- ploration of the island was issued; man servant and sixty Mexican soldiers, assigned to the party by the Mexican government l amag- inc the searchings on the island will consume about three or four months"

NEW CONFERENCE SPLIT? ?
Washington Bolts From Conference Ruling-Signed Up With Dart
 mouth for Turkey Day Game

SEATTLE, Feb. 19.-Uniyers.ty of Washington students are w9rtering if the Pacific Coast Conference will survive a storm that broke when Washington decided not to obey a new conference ruling that all gate receipts should be divided equally be- tween the opposing teams
 In the past the home schools have paid guaranteed amounts to the visit ing teams. Faculty members of the conference schools, meeting here re gently, passed the new "50-50" rule. as it is called. over the opposition Of Washington and other institutions located in or near large cities.
 Washington's graduate manager, Darwin Meisnest. announced al the meeting that his school would not obey the rule. for by following it. he said, the big institutions would lose money to the institutions in theI smaller cities.
 Arthur Priest. dean of men at the University of Washington. who at tended the meeting, objected to the rule on the ground that faculty mem bers attending the conference meet ing had no right to dictate in fin schools Schedules, eligibility rules end standard Of play alone can be decided by the faculty members. he claimed.
 As a result of the break. Washing ton will not meet it's old time rival Washington State College, at football here next Thanksgiving Day, al though the two teams are on the con ference schedule for the game Washington offered w. s. C. $f.000 to come here and play and promised to play on the W. s. c. gridiron in 1921 for only $1.500
 W. s. c. held to the "5O-50' rule, turned down Washington's offer, look ed across the Rockies for competit- ion and scheduled game against the University of Nebraska at Eincoln. for Thanksgiving Day
 Washington is now booked up with Dartmouth on Turkey Day next year.
 George Varnell Spokane newspaper man and official conference referee, has promised a solution of the prob lem, according to word received here Varnell contends that college should profit by fortunate geograph. ical location and take the major part of the receipts. If the visiting eleven is of sufficient calibre to swell the crowd above the average limits,,- then an even split should be made of the profits. This scheme, it is said, is used in the east S't
