In view of ttie success Attorney Gen eral Brown has had in recovering thou sands of acres of land which were fraudulently taken from the state by the activities of F. A. Hyde and his associates, there -was not tht least evi dence of opposition in .the committee to the granting of necessary funds to set tle for all time the question of whether other thonUBands of acres, running in value to millions of dollars, were ac quired from the state by means of for geries, dummy entrymen or other methods employed by those who scut tled the state of its valuable school lands.

Goldendalo, Wash., Feb. U. Tom-o-wah-teet, known to the whites as Turn water, an old Indian, honored and re spected by all of the early settlers in the Pleasant valley country on the breaks of Rock creek, in the upper Klickitat valley, succumbed Friday at his tepee on Rock creek, near the bridge where the Central Washington highway crosseB the stream, at the advanced age of 110 years, as near as the age of an Aborigine can be computed. Tumwater was buried in an Indian burying ground near his home by the Rock creek Indians with simple tribal rites and the funeral was attended by many of his friends among the old-time white settlers. Tumwater had a vivid and clear mem ory of the events that occurred when white people first invaded the territory of the Yakimas and Klickitats. He was present at the council of the Walla Walla plains in 1855 and was a warrior under Kamiakin- In the Yakima Indian war that followed. He also took part in the Blockhouse battle and massacre of white settlers at the Cascades in 1856, where Lieutenant Philip H. Sheri dan was in command of the troops sent from Fort Vancouver to defend the gar rison. After he Indian revolt was crushed Tumwater established a home in an Isolated place on the headwaters of the Rock Creek canyon, where he lived un til his death. His many friendly acts toward the white pioneers In the com munity have been repaid In later years, for since he became nearly blind about five years ago: his old time friends among the whites have kept, him and his aged squaw supplied with the neces saries of life. He was not a lazy Indian, however, and until about five years ago was active and able to maintain himself and squaw with the simple wants of a primitive siwash by doing odd Jobs on the farms of his white neighbors. He was a California Indian and remained in the Columbia, river basin .after com ing north with a pilgrimage of mem bers of his tribe, when a young buck. He had a smattering of an education obtained in the early day California In dian -missions and spoke Spanish fluent ly. His death ; was the result of - a paralytic stroke 'he suffered in August.

Argument Advanced That Cost of Transportation on Water Grade Is Less Than That Over Hills. PORTLAND has entered the Co lumbia river rate fight. The appeal of this city forj a lower rail rate via the water grade route than over the mountains to Puget sound was forwarded to the interstate commerce! commis sion at Washington, D. C, this morning. It is, specifically, the complaint of the commission of public docks, the Port of Portland, the Portland Chamber of Commerce and the Portland Traffic & Trans portation association. The complaint names as defendants Walker D. Hlnes. successor to W. G. McAdoo, director general of railroads ; the S., P. & S. Railway company, the' Northern Pacific, the Great Northern, the O-W. R. & N., the Oregon Short Line, the Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound, and the Camas Prairie railroads. Asks Rights for Shippers The attorneys are W. P. LaRoche for the dock commission. Wood, Montague & Matthiessen for the port, and Joseph N. Teal and William C. McCulloch for the Chamber of Commerce and the traf fic associations. The fundamental point of the com plaint is that Portland reached by wai ter grades at an average distance from the Inland Empire less than to Puget Sound : or to Astoria. is entitled' to a lower rate- because the ;Coet of raU transportation service to this city is less than - tiny tlitlfto?etlrresti port. . i In thLi. the Portland complaint i dif fers from that filed by the Inland Em pire Shippers' league, for the ' latter draws no line between the ports of the Columbia, but asks a lower rate in rec ognition of the water grade. Injustice Is Pointed Ost The rates from the Inland Empire to all tidewater points are now indentical. The complaint declares: "The results of the present mal-a2-justment of rates between (a) Port land and Puget Sound and Astoria on the one hand and (b) the Columbia river basin on the other are (1) that Portland and the Columbia river basin are deprived thereby of their natural advantages of location, which they have a right under the law to have reflected in their rates as compared with those in effect to, and from. Puget Sound and Astoria, but which' natural advantages of Portland and of the Columbia river basin under the existing parity of rates inure solely as benefits to the Spokane, Portland & Seattle railway and to the Oregon-Washington Rail road & Navigation Co, and (2) that Puget Sound and Astoria have their natural disadvantages of location equal ized with the advantages of Portland and the Columbia river basin by the preferential rates accorded to them by the defendants." Arguments Are Advanced The rate parity described, the com plaint in conclusion names the condition resultant as "inherently and relatively unjust and unreasonable in violation of section 10 of the federal control act of March 21. 1918. aforesaid, and of sec tion 1 of the act to regulate commerce, and unjustly discriminatory in violation of section 2 of the act to regulate com merce and unduly preferential to Puget Sound and Astoria shippers! and unduly prejudicial to Portland and Columbia river basin shippers in violation of sec tion 3 thereof." , An order ending the alleged discrimi nation and granting to Portland rates based on the cost dT transportation is asked. Say Bankers Fear To Give Testimony Against Controller Washington. Feb. 11. (I. N. S. John Skelton Williams, renominated by the president to be controller of the treasury, has so "terror ied" the bank ing world that few bankers dare ;to come to Washington to give testimony against him, Wade Cooper, president !of the United Savings bank of this city, told the senate' banking and currency committee today.

By Marshall Baaa;, Seattle, Feb. 11. "I've always been a. friend of working men. I always will be. If I had to shoot down strikers I wouldn't love the workers any. the. less. If they say during and after this strike that I am against them, I will""answer that I have been and amj their- 'best friend." . The light of super-fired idealism shines from the eyes of Mayor Ole Hanson of Seattle. In the strike that has just ended at Seattle he damned business foe its cowardice and labor for its rashness. He says the same .thing, he tells the same story to all who come. He speaks with a fiery diction strangely comming ling with Biblical quotation and perfer vld profanity. I saw his door open to a pair of roughly clad, avowed radical socialists, whose button spangled lapels left no need of further identifying, while a leading preacher and a powerful busi ness leader cooled their heels in an ante room under the perfunctorily patient eye of Conklin, the mayor's secretary. Frond, Himself, of His Courage On the wall of Ole Hanson's office hangs a huge poster, printed with let ters two inches high, blood-red. "The Lord is my Shepherd. I shall not want," it begins.

With 12,000 men out on what approximates a general strike. Butte , still had a police force and fire department today. - Mayor Maloney's threat to discharge all members of both departments at noon yesterday was . withdrawn follow ing a conference with Major A. M. Jones, commanding the troops stationed here. The mayor had announced he would discharge the employee because the city treasury had no money to pay them. I Streetcars are not running. The mines are practically closed down. On several occasions troops of - sol diers used the bayonet to break up gath erings. Troops Start for Butte Tacoma, Wastw Feb. '11. Four ma chine gun sergeants and eight other ex pert machine gunners to chars of one officer left Camp iewis last night for Butte. Mont., to do strike duty. They left a few hours after eight machine guns of the latest type, 18.000 rounds of ammunition and 100 grenades bad been expressed to Butte. Ail of the men were , personally equipped with .46 caliber pistol a They were sent to Butte on order of Major General John F. Mor rison, commanding genera! of the West ern, department, who has temporary headquarters - in Seattle.' The machine gunners j will supplement ; thev regular army troops now in Butte under Major A-'m: Jones. ' '7 " Eccentric it e is one .nan's estimate of the Puget Sound metropolis, who, hand, closer than the flowers sent him by Seattleltes who praise, the spectacu lar nerve with which' he has handled the strike, closer than the telegrams of ad miration and tribute that have come from New York and San Diego and everywhere else, almost, is the big Bible to which he turns so often. And either in half-opened drawer or capacious coat pocket are the two heavy, fully loaded automatics, which also have been his "rod and staff" in the strike crisis. Mayor Hanson is eccentric The la bor leaders of Seattle say he is crazy. He is spectacular. No one is prouder of his unquestioned courage than he is. No one takes more pleasure in his lightning like decisions than he. No one is better satisfied than he with the way he has handled the strike. But he is not all flaring flame and noise. He is shell and solid shot as well. He is honest. They Admit He's Hosest As the people's representative i ot only in the gravest ' labor trouble that ever scourged Seattle, but the most exten sive strike ever called in any city. Mayor Hanson has been for at least a week a national figure. Upon the personal power of the man depended much of the speed and the wisdom of the settle' ment. "His record is clean' said D. E. Skin ner of the great Skinner & Eddy Ship building corporation. "We have nothing on him," admitted labor leaders. "He's honest from the ground up," averred a newspaper editor known to many Portlanders, who waits for every man in public office to clear himself of the suspicion that he wouldn't be a poli tician if he wasn't crooked. The strike put Mayor Hanson in a weird position.

No further action having been taken by the general strike com mittee, Seattle's sympathetic strike was officially . off at 12 o'clock today in conformity with the resolution adopted by the strike conferees Monday. This ac tion did not affect the striking shipyard'workers. I Seattle! tooted its whistles and switched its civic bear intb "high" again as the five day sympathetic strike of workmen came to an official close. Tha majority of labor that had re mained out until then, went i back to its job. Business did its best to make up for lost time. There was an almost audible sigh of relief as wonted activities were re sumed. In announcing the Seattle general strike officially off at noon today, strike of ficials asserted that this was contingent on there being no trouble in getting the workmen back in their jobs. The streetcars, regarded by many unionists as well as the general public as the visible sign of difference inside the ranks of the sympathetic strikers here, were operating on schedule this morning in face, of the plea made Mon day afternoon by the general strike com mittee that all union men who jhad gone back to! work go out again until noon today. : I - Together with the union street '"ar men. resorted yesterday to have soted togo out again for a limited period. j work lth.(9h. jha number as lit dis pute. - ' :U - This gave ,tbe strike Situation Aoday the aspect ' of having resolved ' itself into a clash as to tactics and policy among the various elements of striKsrs.

Today the body of a good looking young man was found at Blast Seven teenth and D streets, a bullet hole through his head. Unless the telephone message is a clue there is no real clue to the murder mystery. A deferred classification card from an unknown Tacoma draft board, dated November 4, 1918, and addressed to Oscar Johnson at the Hotel Utah, was found in a pocket,. The body bore no marks except a bullet hole in the head. The man's coat bears the mark of a Portland dealer. Ten Billion Dollar Bond Issue, U.S. Plan Washington, Feb. 11. (U. P.)

The Seattle sympathetic strike resulted from the plot of revolutionists to. overthrow capital and em ployers that they might deliver the control and operation of all industry into the hands of the workers. The Seattle sympathetic strike was the outburst of Seattle labor's loyalty to the. cause of striking ship workers. The Seattle sympathetic' strike was a demonstration of the solidarity of labor and its ability at will to stop every wheel in the city. . , ; . The Seattle sympathetic strike was a move of reprisal against Charles F. Piez, president of the Emergency Fleet corporation, because of what organized labor considered his unwarranted in terference in the negotiations between Seattle shipbuilders and ship-workers.
