Whatcom EXPRESS. Dec. s.


II 10 rumorsd that Marshal Parker of Fair
haven, has vamoosed, taking with him over
$3.50 IN cash which he had collected in taxes
for the city and had not turned into the treas
ury. His absence since Thanksgiving day has
given rise to the rumor that he has decamped
with the money intending TO defraud the city,
but it does not seem probable that he would
steal so comparatively small amount when he
might as well have taken four times
that amount and made good his escape.
Before leaving Fairhaven Mr.. Parker
turned over to the city treasurer the sum of
s3l 600, which he had collected from the tax de-
hn4uents OF the city OF Fairhaven. The amount
OF his bonds $4,000 fully covers al deficiencies
and his sursties, Messrs. E. I. Cowgirl, D. r.
Huntoon and Pierce Evans, feel confident of his
return, although mis- mysterious disappearance
occasioned them CREST anxiety. Mrs Parker is
visiting friends at Aontesano and appears to
know nothing regarding the whereabouts OF her
trusnt pster de fsnilias. Before leaving Fair
haven Parker obtained leave of absence from
duty in the city for several days, saying be had
important business to attend to In other parts Of
the state.
The newspapers of Fairhaven were reticens
and sounded no alarm, and the citizens regarded
his departure as they would that OF any other
citizen, and rested at ease In state Of ignorant
tranquility. Many of those who knew Parker
best are loud in their protesta,ions of his limo.
cence, and contend that, owing to his unpopu.
iarity among the evil-doers, he has met with
foul play at the hands of premeditating tramp
murderers, but the majority concede their con.
viction of his intentional defalcation, though
his leave OF absence has not yet expired.

tinction and efficiency as city marshal since the

The Tacoma Bank Robbers,

TACOMA, Dec. 7.-lspecial. Fired n. Chandler,
accompiice OF Cashier and Bookkeeper Edward
Albertson in the Fidelity bank robbery, was ar
raiened today before Judge Allyn and pleaded
guilty, as charged, IN participating in the rob
berry. Chandler had already pleaded guilty be-
lore Judge Beverly, however, but as he is to be
sentenced, together with Albertson, by Judge
Allyn, he was required to plead before him.
Albertson and Chandler will be sentenced
within week or ten days. Both are deshing
up, the latter appearing careless and happy, but
the former is anxious to be sentenced, and
hopes to get work using his pen in prison. He
is also anxious about his wife, who. Ii Is said,
he fears will not return TO him again.
OF the $4,000 taken by Aibertson, about $1,000
OF watch was taken In currency at the time of
his departure, $3.50 fs still missing, and IL is be-
heved portion, at least, of that amount was
cached. although the prisoners offer no further
explanation than that all except what was

ease, involving the title 70 the Office OF governor
Of Nebraska, and citizenship on the part Of
Boyd, will como mp fer argument In the United
States supreme court tomorrow. The briefs OF
counsel have been filed
J. W. Gown, attorney for Boyd, In his brief,
maintains that his client became q citizen BY
virtue Of the admission Of Nebraska as a state,
be being an inhabitant of the territory of Ne
braska and member Of the constitutional con-
vention.
Henry d. Estahrook, also attorney for Boyd,
argued that Boyd became q citizen through re-
lsticn back 70 the time OF the declaration Of In.
ten'ion and 20 the granting in Is4o of The nat
uralization papers OF Boyd's father, and that
the complete transaction takes effect as OF the
day drawn In is&a This naturalization. he
held, was In the nature of 9 contract which, in
granting nnsl papers, constituted assistance on
the part OF the government. he also argued
that the conscTipticn act OF 1854, making all per-
sons who had declared their intention 70 be-
come citizens of the United States amensble TO
military duty, had the effect of comforting citi-
xenship upon Boyd and his father. The con-
fession OF the entire honesty OF Boyd In the be.
hei that be was citizen mis- reiterated oaths of
allegiance to the United States and the constity.
tion, and bis patriotic conduct through life are
noted IS circumstances iustifying the court in
invoking the doctrine OF relation.
The brief in behalf OF Thayer, prepared by
John F. Dillon, John l. Webster and Joseph II.
Blair, broadly states that they base the asser.
ton of want OF citizenship in Boyd on the
ground that an alien cannot grow into citisen-
ship by belief OF iaith and BY assuming TO act as
q citizen. They cite the case OF Dreyden and
swinburnc. West Virgins in which the court
held that proof Of naturalization is necessary
ana that the doctrine OF relation could not ap.
ply. Collective naturalization, they maintain.

Before the oath of ofics is administered to

which there are several in the history of the

am entirely satisfied that Mr.. Brice il entitled
TO be sworn in prina facie on his credentials,
which are regular in form. I simply give this
notice, however, so that mis- being sworn in may
not be considered any waiver or any misappre-
hension or misconstruction, ii the people or the
legislature of Ohio should assert and prove TO
the satisfaction OF the Senate that Brice ives
not, at the time OF his election, an inhabitant of
