TH EW f PAG EDITION i Two Cc CENTS ,IN SE ATTLE tan Building company on the site of the proposed hotel be more valuable to the university than the hotel? If they would not be, the hotel» proposi- tion would seem all right, because the extension of the lease would apply ONLY to the hotel block and not to any other portions of the university tract. The statement issued by the regents is not in sufficient detail. Their mere conclusion is not enough to damn the hotel proposition, nor is the fact that Seattle wants a hotel sufficient to make the university accept an offer that 1s not of advantage to the state institu- tion. The public is entitled to more facts than have heretofore been made public. The Star is going to get the facts. It is going to study them, analyze them, and pass honest judgment on the case. The hotel proposition must be judged solely on a strict business basis, and neither sentiment for the hotel nor prejudice against the Metropolitan Building company must be allowed to enter. ROOSTER IS EXECUTED FOR FIGHTING BABY; NOODLES FOR DINNER COTTAGE GROVE, Ore, May 18.— Eighteen-monthoid Henry Sanders, son of Mr. and Mra Henry Sanders, of this city, will have his (ill of rooster meat and noodles for dinner today. Frederich Wilhelm dx the victim, Frederich Wilhelm, a large and impertant Ancona rooster, was the pride of the Sanders barn yard. Yesterday he exercised the bad fudgment of making a vicious attack on Baby Henry, The youngster was badly lacerated about the face and bedy, and was treated at a local hospital.

Douglas made the statement that in his opinion the probability that Mrs. Mahoney was murdered was strong that he considered worth while to employ divers in a last effort to find the body. SEEKS TO SHATTER POLICE THEORY Meanwhile, from the evidence he says the police have thus far dis- covered, Johnston compiled the fol lowing table of events: | “April 15 or 16—Police claim Ma- honey rented a rowboat on Lake | Union. “April 15 or 16—Police claim per- sons living on the lake shore saw Mahoney rowing on the lake with what appeared to be a trunk in the boat. | “April 17—Mrs. Kate Stewart, niece of Mrs, Mahoney, admits she saw her aunt alive. “April 18 or 21—Frank D. Wood, dentist in the Joshua Green build- jing, says positively he saw and jtalked with Mr, and Mrs, Mahoney jin his office. Mrs. Mahoney went jinto his operating room to have |some dental work attended to, leav- ing Mahoney sitting in the ante- room, While in the operating room Mrs, Mahoney showed Dr, Wood} her handbag's contents—about $25, 000 worth of jewels.” | If Johnston's table is correct, the |police theory that Mahoney dumped {a trunk containing his bride’s body April 15 or 16, of course, shattered.

I think, in due time, will turn up, just when or where, I have no idea. Perhaps the reason explained, but I think she'll turn jup. I'm certain there's nothing in Lake Union.” “They are hunting for a tan trunk, freshly painted," Johnston added. ‘There is such a trunk in Mrs. Mahoney's old apartment in| the Sofia, 409 Denny way, The police know that, tod. They've been there and had a look at it.” Mahoney has never been asked, so far as his attorney knows, John- ston said, whether he rented a boat, | tho he has been identified as a man who did at the canoe factory of Howard & Sons, The prisoner has, however, denied the whole Lake Union theory, His comment, when to his client that the police were been: “La them open drain the lake.” TOLD OF Ht FOR HONE Mrs. A.
