Until Sept. li to Complete yrst - l-nree Miles of Line No Protest or Argument on Motion.. ( Without a single word of argument or protest, the city council In regu lar session last evening, extended the time of the franchise granted the Washington-Oregon company for a period of six months. It had been re ported during the day that a fight was to be made on the proposed ex tension and that there u almost a certainty that the time limit would not be extended. This rumor caused several to gather at the council cham. bers to witness the fun, but they had their trouble for their pains. The members of the council had had a caucus the day before and had come to a satisfactory agreement. As a result, there was merely the Intro duction of the resolution and the vot ing on It. As the matter now stands, the fran chise remains exactly as It was before with the exception that the company has been given until Sept 11, Instead of March 11. to complete Its first three miles of track. Two other measures of importance were acted on last evening. These were the passage of the ordinance prohibiting the erection of barns or tables within 40 feet of a dwelling and the one making it necessary to secure building permits before changes can be made to any building or before a new one can be erected within the city. The remainder of the session was consumed with the transaction of mere routine business. UNDERWOOD STANDARD TYPEWRITER hows the way to the best work at the lowest operating cost.

At the annual banquet of the Harvard club of Chicago held last night at the University club, It was of little use for learned and hon ored men, the speakers of the even ing, to say wise things In sober tones. It all was lost, or nearly all. In the Hood of college fellowship. Dr. Harvey W. Wllev. the United States department of agri culture did win attention, however. when he argued for co-education and ror the recognition of woman's rights. ?Vhat are we going to uo with the women anyway?" he asked. "They are now beating at the Kates of Har vard. They are the Trojan horse of the university and some day thev win scale her walls and enter. The wo men will not be denied. They some day will do the voting and why should they not? We have no time to ston and; argue against them. There is no argument. We had better quit now and let them have their rlehts. Har vard recognizes the fact that woman is a human being and deserving of an education on an eqality with man." ROCKEFELLER IS TURNING FARM INTO BIG AVIARY Mount Vernon, N. Y.

NO SOLUTION YET TO ECHO'S MYSTERY So far as can be ascertained from telephonic reports from Echi, there have been no new developments In the mystery occasioned by the dis covery of what is believed to be a hu man foot by the C. A. Chapman dog. It was reported to the sheriff's of fice last evening (hat the find was not a human foot at all and that it was not discovered under the building for merly occupied by the "bucket of blood" saloon. This report said that It was a bone which the dog had picked up under the floor of the meat market. This report, Is contradicted, how ever, by County Road Master Dave Lavender who was formerly city mar. shal of Weston. Mr. Lavender saw the grewsome find and he declared that it is a portion of a human foot, beyond all doubt. He says he has seen at least three different cases which were similar and that it is lm ponsible for. him to be mistaken In this. He says the relic found by the dog was that portion of the foot be low the Joint Just In front of the heel. Some of the sinews are yet attached and the great toe Is there In Its en tirety. There are also portions of some of the (Other toes, but most of these are' missing. In the opinion of Mr. Lavender the owner of the foot has been dead for at least two years and possibly longer. That being the case It Is doubtful If any clue to the identity of the, murdered man or the murderer will', ever be discovered. Marshal Boreman Is conducting the Investigation, but so far- the ground has been so badly frozen that it Is Im poslble for him to make any very great headway. A man will be sent down from the sheriffs office as soon as anything definite can be learned. - . PLACE IS NOT SETTLED. ' Rlcknrd Denies That Anv TWIi.Ha . .Agreement .for Jeff-Johnson Fight Is Miule. v v San Francisco' Feb. 24. Although he admitted that In all probability the Jeffries-Johnson fight would take place In this city, Tex Rlckard In a statement given to the press last night, denied that a definite aeren ment had been reached. . He declar ed that the reported conference with Supervisor Herget, at which such an agreement was said to have been entered, into was nothing more than a friendly talk between Herget and himself and said that Jack Gleason, his fellow promoter, was not present Rlckard said that owing to the pres. Sure of other business he had been unable to -meet Gleason in conference as yet but that they would get to gether tomorrow when he noped the matter would be settled beyond ques tion. The fact that Rlckard, Gleason and Sam Berger, Jeffries' manager, have agreed to go to Santa Crui, some 70 miles southof here, next Sunday to Inspect the quarters offered to Jef fries as a training camp, is taken to mean that Rlckard and Wereet reanh- ed an understanding during their stay which will bring the fight here.
