SPOKANE PIONEER DEAD JOHN J. BROW N K SUDDENLY KXriflES IN OFFICE. Millionaire Banker, Ilailroari Build er and Well-Know o Philnnthro- ill. Victim of Heart Trouble. flHjKAXK. Wash- March i. John Browne, one of the foundera of the City of Spokane, millionaire capitalist and banker, dropped dead In his office today from neuralgia of the heart. Ha came to Washington In 1178 and home steaded a large part of what now Is tha residence section of Spokane. He established a chain of banks throughout the Northwest and took a prominent part In the building; of rail roads throughout the state. He pro moted the first street railroad in Spo kane and for seven years waa owner of the Spokane Chronicle. He was prom inent In Democratic politics, but held no public office. He waa. however, a member of the Washington Constitu tional Convention. Mr. Browne cam to Spokane In 1171. when thla city waa a camping ajround for bands of Indiana He took up a homestead of 10 acres, which Is now In Browne's Addition, one of the best residence districts of tha city. Mr. Browne donated tracts of land to the schools here and for IS years waa a member of the school board. He formerly was a trustee of Cheney Nor- :, Tiff, i mal School, for a time a regent of the University of Washington and for years had been a recent of the Washington State College. He was an actlnve member of the convention that framed the state's con stitution as It stands today. Hn was one of the builders of the Auditorium Theater. In 190 ho pur chased the tipokane Chronicle and pub lished It seven years before disposing of the largest share of hla Interest. He entered h banking business and at the time of this death was the head of a chain ot thriving; banks In Washington and Idaho. Mr. Browne donated to the city one half of Coeur d'Alene Park, one of the most valuable parks In Spokane. Browne's Addition, where the pioneer made his home In the early days, was named after him. as was Browne street TOHNOW SEARCH WAITS MOVE AGAINST MAN IN WOODS DELAYED FOR REWAIIDS. Con t let Ion Tlinught Difficult From Iek of Evidence Tornoa'n FTlend C.UInj Him Aid. A BKKDKKN. Wash.. March IS. (Spe cial.) Awaiting word from tlovernor Hay. in reference to the request of the County Commissioners concerning an additional reward of $2000 for the cap ture of John Tornow. on behalf of the stale and because the present office force of Sheriff Payette Is disorgan ized, no Immediate attempt wlil be made to lead a posse against the "Devil of the Wynochee." the alleged slayer of John and Will Bauer and IVputieg A. V. Elmer and Colin MrKenxte. Again the situation confronting Sheriff Payette Is puxsllng. The re ward offered la IJOOO for Tomow. dead or alive, and $2000 for the arrest and conviction of the murderer of the Bauer boys and the two deputies. Should Tornow be taken It ts asserted It would he probably next to impos sible to prove Ills guilt. "Should John Tornow today appear before the Sheriff In his office In Montesano and say, 'I know I am being searched for: what do you wantr the chances are ten to one that the county would have a hard time convicting him. as there Is no positive evidence against hi in.'' said an official tonight. Despite this assertion, there seems to be but little doubt flint the uncle of the two murdered tioya is also the slayer of the deputies. The fact that two different guns were used In taking the life of MrKenzle la established by the fact that both a S0-30 rifle and a :0-:S bullet were found in his body during the autopsy. This leads manv to believe that two men were guilty of the crime, hut others believe that the murderer, after shooting McKensle the first time, used the gun of Klmer. to finish his horrible Job. It developed today that mall was received for John Tornow at Pacific Beach last Winter. There Is a trail leading from the Ox bow country through to Humptultpa and from there to the ocean beach, so that the trip from the headwaters of the Satsop or the Wynoochs to Pacific would not be a hardship forTornow. Tor now Is supposed to have one or more friends helping him and who have fur nished him with supplies and pro visions from time to time To Remove First Signs of Old Age "The Infallible! first sign of age la the sagging; cheek muscles." says Mme.

"The. sagging muscles Indi cate they have grown too weak to re main In place; they must be assisted, strengthened."

BRIEF SAYS FRAUD NOT UP 10 COURT Appellants Reply in University of Oregon Referendum Cases. JURISDICTION IS STUDIED Claim Made Th.it It I Not So Im portant lo Prevent l.w' Sub mission to Prevent It Be ing Kept From People. S.U.KM. Or. March 23. iSpeclal.) The reply brief of tlie appellants In the University of Oregon referendum eases, which was the cause for a short delay granted by the court on the re quest of C. K. S. Wood, was filed to day by attorneys for the appellant and enters to a considerable extent on the Jurisdictional side of the. cause, which Involves more than $500,000 worth of appropriations tor the university. "Rvery doubt should be resolved in favor of the referendum." says the brlnf. "To decide against the petition deprives the people of an opportunity to expressthcmaclves upon it. The essential thing is that, the voters should have a chance to pass upon the question, and they should not be de prived of It except upon absolutely compelling reasons. We think none exist. Court's Jurisdiction Considered. "In addition to the foregolns, we submit that this court is without juris diction to examine into this question of fraud, for the reason that it Is a legis lative matter and is a proceeding by the people themselves acting as a legisla ture, and all this court Is empowered to do under the law is to examine the legal sufficiency of the petition. Jf the petition be legally sufficient on its face, the court cannot go behind the petition and examine into precedent or extraneous matters. "The Secretary of State, in receiving the petition. Is acting as a part of the Initiative machinery. He Is a part of the legislative branch of the Govern ment, and his every function is that of a co-ordinate branch of the Gov ernment, not reviewable by the courts except as expressly given by law. And. as above stated, we think the law only provides for a review of the legal sufficiency of the petition as it ap pear) on its face. "The only cns. as we think, by which the law provides for a review of his discretion is to prevent his stopping a law at the outset ty refusing to file it. We think the whole purpose of the law Is answered when it provides Judicial process by which a petition may be put upon its passage, notwith atanding the refusal of the Secretary of State to (lie it. We think that the law must be Interpreted by this clearly apparent motive, but If the court con cludes that It was also Intended to permit a review of the Secretary's discretion In flng a petition or an examination of the antecedents of a petition, then the whole law must be construed together, and It must he first determined w ho has a right to, bring the proceeding striking a petition al ready tiled from the records. Plalatlfra Said Not to Gala. "It is clesr that to get a petition on the files any citizen ought to have the right to move. But a petition being accepted by the Secretary and filed, it by no means follows that any citizen on z lit to have the right to contest that discretion, for It Is not so important to prevent a law being submitted to the people ae It Is to prevent its being withheld from the people. Therefore, It would seem that only those having some special Interest and special knowledge ought to be allowed to Ini tiate proceedings to strike a petition from the files. These respondents show no such special and particular Interest. The only person of real Interest in this case Is the beneficiary of the law re ferred, that is, the university Itself.

Heated in the oven to restore its crispness it is delicious for luncheon, or for any meal, with butter, potted cheese or marmalades.

Time Limit Irated. "Every fraud and complaint against it must be well known long berore it is filed, but there is no hardship In construing the law to mean that a suit for an Injunction must be commenced within the same time as allowed by the act for a petition for mandamus. If not. then this court raut legislate in the matter, and declare within what time "any . citizen' is allowed to bring his suit. In other words, this court must legislate a statute of limitations. But we reiterate this court can at the most examine the 'legal sufficiency' of the petition. It it be legally sufficient on Its face, that is the end of the mat ter. "To our suggestion that only one pro ceeding was contemplated, in which proceeding the law would he ordered filed if found sufficient, and the Sec retary would be enjoined from filing, or. if in any way placed upon the files. It would be stricken from the files if found Insufficient, it was remarked by a member of the court that mandamus was really a legal remedy and injunc tion an equitable remedy, indicating, therefore, two processes. In the first place, mandamus always has been a special proceeding, although on the law of the courts, and we think this entire remedy bv mandamus or by Injunction was Intended to be a special statutory proceeding, created by the law to fit this particular case. "If the court has Jurisdiction to go behind the apparent sufficiency or in sufficiency of the petition, then both sides seem agreed, that where the cir culator himself haa been convinced of fraud In the performance of his quasi official duties, the burden of proof to sustain his petition ought to shift to the respondents, but that In accordance with the general rule, fraud ought not I Rem?. y wrv " ' "THE TOaAST COMPANY Nature's OWN Distillation A PURE WHISKEY Clarke's Pure Rye may not be the smoothest whiskey, buUt is truest and best whiskey on earth It gives tie best satisfaction, because it is all whiskey and has nothing in it but the grain flavors from the finest rye.
