TWO LICENSES REVOKED
Council Adopts Report of Committee
as to Liquor-Dealers.
The City Council yesterday afternoon,
by adopting tho report of the liquor
license committee, revoked the liquor
license of Baker & Larson, proprietors of
a saloon at Thira and Taylor streets and
that of E. Johnson, who conducts a res
taurant at Seventh and Alder streets.
These are the only resorts in the list of
1 that were reported by the police as
being disorderly in various ways that lose
their license's. Transfers from one man
to another were granted In some cases in
order to save the day for the saloons.
Immediately ' after revoking these
licenses the Council granted S. Mazo
rovsky a license to conduct an auction
house at 22SH First street. Mazorovsky is
the man to whom Mayor Lane recently
referred in. a Council meeting as "a beat,
a cheat and a rascal," and asked that the
Council refuse a license. The Mayor
charged that the applicant had conducted
a "bad" place; that "fake" Jewelry and
shoddy goods were sold there, and that
no license should be granted.
"What is Mazorovsky going to sell,
now that the license before us does not
permit him to sell jewelry?" asked Coun
cilman Vaughni of Councilman Kellaher.
"He will sell boots and shoes," replied
Kellaher.
"And. I presume, he will also auction
groceries," remarked Councilman Baker,
poking fun at Mr. Kellaher. who is. a
grocer.
ESCAPES BY SAWING BARS

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 27. Elmer
Wellington, alias Harrison, being held
for passing bad cheeks,- escaped from
the city prison last night by sawing the
bars of his cell and crawling out of a
hole in which ventilators for the prison
were to be installed. It is the belief of
Chief of Police Blggy that Wellington's
wife slipped him the saw yesterday when
she called on him. A thorough search
of the town for the prisoner has failed
to locate him.

"GIRL CRAZY". SAYS DEAN
SEATTLE MEN STUDENTS SE
VERELY SCORED.
President and ' Faculty Menibers
Then Witness Bloody Boxing.
Match to Dispute Theory.
SEATTLE, Wash.. Feb. 27. (Special.)
Not only was precedent established, but
In its establishment precedent went a
long way toward refuting a part of the
strictures cast upon the men students of
the University of Washington last night.
It all happened at a classmen smoker
given by the Beta Theta Pi Fraternity,
at which President Thomas F. Kane.
Dean A. R. Priest, of the College of Lib
eral Arts, Dean John Condon, of the law
school, and other members of the faculty
were guests. , '
Dean Priest made the charges declaring
that the men students are girl crazy and
are rapidly degenerating into sissies. Af
ter he had finished two husky collegians
stripped to the belt and pummeled each
other for the edification of faculty and
fellow students. Rufus Lindsay and E.
Bowman were the boxers and the match
was fast from first to last.
The boxers mixed it In fine style. Both
drew blood, and although the'bout was
short, the match was interesting because
of the way the boys rushed things. The
referee declined to give a decision. Both
men showed considerable science, but
their willingness to mix it and their abil
ity to stand punishment was the feature.
The match ' was something new in the
way of entertainment, as It is the first
ever pulled off In a fraternity house at
the University, in the sight of a 'large
audience, including faculty members from
the president down. Before the boxing
match Dean Priest took occasion to score
the men students for their penchant fof
the society of co-eds. In part he said:
"This institution has gone girl crazy.
I am not opposed to co-education, but you
men must leave the girls alone more than
you do. Vou can't even go home to
lunch without having a girl with you
nowadays. It is impossible to cultivate
the most virile manhood If you have with
you all the time girl, girl, girl.
"Too much association with women to
the. exclusion of men makes sissies and
nothing else.
"In. the university there is a continual
shaking of the feet, in dancing. Forget
dancing a while and think of something
else."
JAPAN DENIES ANY TANIC
But Admits Depression in Silk Trade
and Stock Market.
TOKIO, Feb. 2S. Special cablegrams
from New Tork and London, published
in the Tokio newspapers, have created
astonishment in financial circles, because
It is evident that certain influences have
determined to misrepresent and exagger
ate existing conditions in Japan. These
special cablegrams say that the decline
of Japanese securities is due to a finan
cial panic.
The use. of the word "panic" as repre
senting the present situation is entirely
unwarranted. No "panic" exists in any
direction. Owing to the continued de
pression of the silk market, due largely
to the American financial situation and
the unsatisfactory cotton trade with
China, a number of firms in Osaka and
Kobe have failed during the last three
weeks. The total liabilities approximate
4,000.000 yen. Two or three minor banks
in the provinces have closed their doors.
The Stock Exchange has been extremely
dull for the past two months in Tokio.
Railway stocks have fallen heavily be
cause confidence has been shaken con
cerning plans for nationalization, which
may fall. It is believed that the present
depression will continue until after the
general election. A leading broker said
to the Associated Press today:
"Government securities were weak early
in the week. Since then they have be
come firmer. Owing to rumors of failures
and money stringency, prices in all shares
have been downward, but the- market
shows a firmer tendency."
A dispatch from Kobe says that it is
believed there that the depression has
reached its limit and that conditions are
improving.
PLANS SCHEME0F REFORM
Kolochin Would Put Mongolia in
Lead of China.
PEKIN, Feb. 27. Kolochin, a Mongol
ian, who nas been prominent in the ef
forts of his countrymen tor tne reorgan
ization of Mongolia, has asked the Chinese
government to aid him in establishing
in Mongolia a system of banks, railrads
and mines, a local constabulary and a
diplomatic bureau, a system of education
and an army.
The Chinese "government continues to
approve the schemes for progress that
involve the expenditure of vast sums of
money. In the absence of any financial
reform, however, the financial depart
ment will not take into consideration
plans for reorganization of the army and
navy.
CHIEF SHEETS ACQUITTED
Charge of Sharing Swindlers' Loot
Is Not Sustained.
SALT LAKE! CITY, Feb. 27. Xot guilty
of receiving a bribe , was tha-verdict ren
dered today by the jury before which the
late chief of police, George Sheets, .haa
been on trial. Two men convicted of taking-
$10,000 from a pair of tourists in a pre
tended raid on a prearranged poker
game testified that the police chief con
nived at their swindling operations and
shared in the loot. So warmly was the
charge pressed by Sheets' political oppo
nents that he resigned his position. He
was the first Chief of Police under the
American party. ,
Will let Hindus land.
VICTORIA, B. C. Feb. 27. With the ar
rival of the steamer Monteagle. detained
for two days In quarantine. It developed
that the 186 Hindus left there will not
be refused landing by the Dominion Im
migration officials, who consider that as
they have come by through ticket, al
though not by direct steamer, they have
not violated the Dominion regulations.
The landing of the Hindus, who will be
held In quarantine for 16 days more, will
be fought by the British Columbia gov
ernment, and a test case will be made to
see if the Natal act, ruled Inoperative
against Japanese, is good against other
immigrants.
Relief Ordinance Dead..
It now seems probable that the relief
measure, introduced by Councilman Rush
light, carrying an appropriation of 110,000
for the benefit of the deserving unem
ployed of the city, will never pass the
Council. It was voted down two weeks
ago, and yesterday afternoon It was or
dered referred to the commute on ac
counts and current expenses, which vir
tually "kills" It. Councilman Rushlight
brought up the measure again yesterday
and asked earnestly that it be passed,
but a motion to refer It to the accounts
and current expense committee prevailed.
