SAILORS KILLED
IN CAR ACCIDENT
Twt) Men of Atlantic Fleet
Meet Tragic Death at
Bellingham.
BOTH MEN WERE POPULAR
Pleasure of Fleet's Visit Marred by
Accident In Northern City Men
Fall From Fender of Swift
ly Moving Car.
BELLINGHAM, Wash.. May 22. A
serious accident, attendant upon the
visit of Rear-Admlral Pperry's fleet, oc
curred here this evening and resulted
in the death of J. J. Staub, a seaman
on ' the New Jersey, and the
fatal injury of F. Lullnskl, a third
class master-at-arms,- upon the same
vessel and the lightweight champion
of the Navy, who died at St. Luke's
Hospital at 9 o'clock tonight.
The accident occurred upon the Lake
Whatcom streetcar line. The line had
been heavily patronized, all day, carry
ing seamen and visitors to and from
a pleasure resort on the shore of the
lake, where free entertainment was
being provided the sailors. So great
was the crowd that passengers were
riding all over the car and on the
fenders. f
Crushed Beneath the 'Wheels.'
Among those riding upon the fender
were Staub, Lullnskl and two com
panions. Two on the outeide felt the
tender giving and leaped clear of the
track, but Staub and Lullnskl were
unable to escape and were dashed un
der the wheels. Staub was caught by
the front wheel, which tore his
stomach wide open and came near sev
ering the body in twain. He was dead
when picked up.
Lullnskl was still conscious when he
was dragged out from under the
wheels. He had in some manner
missed the front wheels, as the trucks
threw him between the rails. He was
hurried to St. Luke's Hospital upon a
special car. His head was badly battered"
and a deep gash was cut in the right
thigh.
Car Ran at High Speed.
The car was running at a good rate
of speed when the accident took placed,
but the motorman soon brought-his
cur under . control and had it stopped.
It was necessary to back the car up in
order to rescue Staub, who was dead.
Staub, who was 26 years old, had
only three months more to serve in the
Navy before his four-year enlistment
expired. He enlisted at Detroit, Mich.
He had been upon the New Jersey for
more than a year.
Lullnskl had been a sailor for about
25 months. He joined at Chicago,
where he had acquired some fame as
a fighter. Both were popular with
their fellow seamen and the accident
has caused universal mourning, the
bluejackets feeling much downcast
over the sad ending of their happy
stay in Bellingham. ,
Staub's body will be taken aboard the
New Jersey and transported to Bremer
ton, where it will be laid to rest in the
Narai. Cemetery, unless his parents re
cutest the remains sent home. As' soon
an possible, Lullnskl will be taken aboard
tne hospital ship Relief.
' Mirth Turns to Grief.
The car under which Staub was killed
- and Lullnskl hurt was coming In from
Lako Whatcom, loaded down with blue
Jackets, and was closely followed by an
other small car, also crowded. The pas
sengers - were laughing and cheering as
they waved to the pedestrians upon the
Bidewalk.
Suddenly the front car jolted and in a
moment the happy crowd was downcast,
and where there had been nothing but
mirth - a minute before sorrow reigned.
An Immense throng collected In a short
time.
This is the second accident that has
marred the voyage since the Atlantic
flest left Hampton Roads. The other
occurred at Los Angeles, -

CUTS DOWN RIGHT OF WAY
Washington Railway . Commission
Refuses to Concede Road Shall
Have 400-Foot Right or Way
Across the State.
OLTMPIA, Wash.. May 22. (Special.) .
One finding decided upon by the Railroad
Commission concerning only the Northern
Pacific will add millions of dollars to the
taxable property of the state if it is
followed by the State Board of Tax Com
missioners In assessing the road.
The Railroad Commission has Informed
the Northern Pacific that it will hold that
only 100 feet of the right, of way grant
for Its original line is utilized for rail
road purposes. - The original right of way
gcant to the railroad from the Govern
ment was a 400-foot -strip over all public
lands crossed by the railroad. The Great
Northern and other railroads, which have
no right of way grant from the Govern
ment,, have acquired as a rule not more
than a 100-foot right of way, and the
Northern Pacific in- building its branch
lines has been content with that wide a
strip.
Heretofore railroads have Been assessed
on their right of way at a fixed valua
tion per mile. The Northern Pacific on
its main line last year paid on a valua
tion of $14,520 per mile and the other rail
roads paid on the same valuation, yet the
Northern Pacific's right of way was four
times as wide as" that of the other rail
roads.
The" finding hits the Northern Pacific in
two ways. It will reduce the valuation of
the road to be fixed for rate making pur
poses which the railroad desires, to be
high, and yet adds to the taxable prop
erty of the road. The 300-foot excess will
likely hereafter be assessed similarly to
the farm or business property, adjoining.
In some places this 400-foot strip has
developed into exceedingly valuable busi
ness property. The Northern facinc
located its line through Spokane, for in
stance, when there- was no city there.
The Spokane Hotel is located on this
strip along with other business Blocks.
It has been the custom to assess the im
provements in Spokane on this strip but
allow the land Itself to be included in the
right of way valuation. The 300-foot strip
excluded from the right of way in that
city is found by the Railroad Commis
sion to be worth about J3.000.000.
A peculiarity of the right-of-way grant
to the Northern Pacific is that it cannot
sell any portion of It. "It puts us In
the position of simply having to hold the
land for tax assessment purposes," was
the objection made by Attorney B. S.
Grosscup of the Northern Pacific The
Railroad Commission, however, claims
that the land can be leased to the owners
of adjacent farms outside of the cities
and for business purposes within Incor
porated towns.
The 400-foot strip extends practically un
interrupted across -the state, Inasmuch
as the road when built was across Gov
ernment land almost wholly.

BULLETS HIT ONLY THIN AIR
Jealous Half-Breed Shoots Into an
Empty House.
PENDLETON, Or.. May 22. (Special.)
Another near-tragedy was enacted in this
city last Sunday night, according to infor

defensive. In the last five minutes of
the second bout, however. Roller took
the aggressive viciously. Beell broke
two bad holds, but could not get away

CURRY DRY, YET VERY WET
PECULIAR COXDITIOXS IX THE
SOCTHAVESTERX COCXTY..
Whisky Imported by the Demijohn
and Drunkenness Said to Be Not
Uncommon Among Indians.
WEDDBRBURN, Or.. May 22. (Special.)
Curry County has been in the hands of
the Prohibitionists for the past two
years, and demijohns have been the order
of the day and night. Whisky is being
shipped on almost every stage from both
north and south and is very easy to get.
Those desiring saloons have again pe
titioned for an election,, and notices are
now up calling for a resubmission of the
question at the election on June 1.
To be sure the friends of prohibition are
many, and it Is a question with all the
evidences against the ineffectiveness of
prohibitory laws as they exist If the
"wets'' can muster the strength to return
to the saloon. The prime mover in this
action, is Gold Beach, the county seat.
The law as It stanas aneuis uie wnuie
county, that Is, it is a county law, all pre
cincts having decided to eschew the sa
loon. There is little doubt that Gold Beach
precinct will -go wet. Wedderburn pre
cinct will go dry. It is expected that Port
Orford will also vote against the saloon.
It is a very peculiar situation. The
man who -'wants plenty of whisky and
finds It easy to get, votes prohibition.
The total abstainer votes for prohibition,
for the reason that if he is known to be
a prohi he sees little of the demijohn and
thinks the law prohibits, excepting oc
casionally when the boys get beyond con
trol at a dance. But the man who knows
and understands and wants the sale of
liquor properly controlled, he Is the one
who will vote for the licensed saloon.
In this country there is a great pro
portion of Indians and half-breeds and
these, to a person, are In favor of the
saloon. They are mostly financially un
able to purchase as much as a whole
demijohn at one tl:ne. and for that reason
want the fire water sold over the counter.
Little is being said pro or con concerning
this feature of the election except In a
quiet way. The precinct of Harbor will
have a saloon. This will, if predictions
are true, make two saloons for this
county.
