DENNIS FOUND GUILTY.
Convicted OF Obtaining Money Under
False Pretenses.

Convicted OF Obtaining Money Under
False Pretenses.
Lon R. Dennis was found guilty yester.
dsy in Judge Humes' court of obtaining
money under false pretenses. The princi-
pal witness against him was John C. Will
son. with whom Dennis was on friendly
terms One night some weeks ago the
defendant drew two checks for S. each on
the Pacific National bank of Tacoma, and
had Wilson indorse them. Both were
cashed by L. Champaux, a wine merchant
on Washington street. one being presented
ty Dennis and the other by Wilson.
When the checks were presented for
payment it was learned that Dennis had
no account with the Pacific bank, and he
was arrested. His attorney moved for a
dismissal on the ground that as he merely
gave the check to Wilson, who did not
pay him directly so much money for it, he
was not guilty of the offense charged.
The court. however, denied the motion
and at the close of the testimony the case
was given to the jury. 1t was ont about
fifteen minutes before bringing in YER
dict of conviction.
Dennis is the son of wealthy parents in
North Carolina, but they refuse to recog-
nize him on account of his bad conduct.
About year ago he came to Seattle. and
for short time worked as a reporter on
the Press Times Afterward he went to
Portland and California, and later re-
turned to Seattle. He has been in trouble
in several places for his crooked trans
actions.

DAVID NJ. Calkins yesterday escaped pos
sible conviction on a charge of carrying
concealed weapons by having the case
against him dismissed on q technical
point of law. The complaint against him
wassworn out before justice of the peace
who had no jurisdiction except as COM
hitting magistrate, and Calkins was bound
over to the superior court. The prosecut-
Ing attorney neglected to file an informa-
ton and Judge Humes granted q motion
to dismiss by the defendants attorney on
the ground that there was no charge in
court against him. The judge also held
that there was further ground for dismis-
cal, because the complaint on which CAL
kins was arrested was insufficient and did
not give the justice jurisdiction.

MRS. RADLOFF FREE.

False Pretenses-The Lodouceur
Damage Case.

Mrs. Virginia Radloff will suffer no pun
,,hment at the hands of the law for her
connection with the famous Radloff case.
a. Prosecuting Attorney Miller will tods '
Ella in the superior court motions for the
dismissal of the cases in which she is
charged with arson and grave robbery.
Each motion is accom-. panied by state
ment from the prosecuting attorney Civ
ine his reasons for so doing. In the arson
case il is set out that the facts are exactly
similar to those in the case against Lud.
wig Kostrauch, in which Judge Humes
decided that there was no provision in the
state code for Furnishing man for burn
ing his own house so long as he wrongs no
one else. The court would undoubtedly
hold the same in the case against Mrs.
Rsdloff and there is no need for trial.
In the grave robbery case the statement
announces that the testimony in the trial
Of Kostrauch on the same charge brought
out everything that could be used against
Mrs. Radloff, and that the facts are not
suficient to warrant conviction.

LOOKING FOR A PRoDIGAL.
James Porter Wants to Find His Foster
Son, John Manuel Hitler.

James Porter Wants to Find His Foster
Son. John Manuel Hitler.
James Porter. wealthy old gentleman,
who lives on Vancouver island. is in the
city looking after John Manuel Hitler, his
adopted son, who, in company with an
other boy, ran away from home year
ago. The boy incurred the extreme dis
pleasure of his foster father, and fearful
of the consequences which would result
from meeting he ran away, and Mr..
Porter has never since heard from him.
Shortly after the boy ran away from
home Mrs. Porter, who was very old, died
and Mr.. Porter was left alone on his large
estate. Having no children to comfort
him and make the time pass pleasantly,
and having no true-hearted relatives, he
decided to hunt up his prodigal son. He
promises to forget and forgive everything
if the boy will consent to make his where
abouts known and return home with him.
For the next ten days Mr.. Porter will be
at the st. Charles hotel.

PURE FOOD IN CONGRESS.
Action Which Has Resulted in tho ON
cial Determination OF tho Best
Baking Powder.

ACTION W nlCn mas resulted In tho Om-
cial Determination Of tho Best
Baking Powder.
The act of congress authorizing the
examination of the baking powders has
resulted in most unprecedented compli-
ment to the Royal Baking Powder. The
tests were made in the government labora-
tory at Washington. and the official report
shows that the Royal is superior to all
others in leavening strength. being over 30
per cent. above the average. The report
also shows the purity of the Royal Powder
and the wholesomeness of its ingredients.
This is probably the highest compliment
of an official character ever paid to pro-
prietary article, though no more than the
great army of baking powder consumers
would expect in behalf of their old friend
and favorite.
The result of the official examination, as
thus determined, will, of course, make the
"Royal" the standard for government pur-
chases.

ITO catch a boa constructor is a diff

feet OF ground. The labyrinth is made
by joining together, end on end, pieces

the boa constructor. 1t is easy enough
to get in. He scents the prey; he is
very hungry; the pig is devoured, and

he grows tired and stretches himself on;

Cats Among the Egyptians.

The tutelar deity of cats was Diana
and according to Plutarch the cat was
not only sacred to the moon, but was an
emblem of it. Hence cats were treated
with peculiar consideration in the land
OF the Pharaohs, the death of one being
regarded as a great family misfortune.
Egyptian cat funerals were celebrated
with the greatest ponp and ceremony,
their late owners showing respect by
shaving off their eyebrows and wearing
sackcloth for nine days. In the time of
Moses it was a capital crime to kill a
cat, and we are told by Diodorus how a
Roman soldier who killed one was tried,
sentenced and finally put to death.-St.

WHY CHINESE NEVER SAVE LIFE.

They Regard 1t az Interfering with the
Intention Of the Creator.
Much has been written Of the peculi.
arities and eccentricities of the Chinese,
but it is not generally known that the
people of the Celestial empire will not
rescue n another from accidental
death.
At u fire in San Francisco several
years ago six Chinese were imprisoned
in a room by three half inch iron bars,
which could easily have been broken
away. There were two or three ladders
in the neighborhood which could have
been placed at the windows and the un-
fortunates easily rescued from q horri-
BILE death. There were hundreds of
their c%ountrymen looking on at their
frantic efforts to escape. Yet they Of
fered no assistance and gave no evidence
of sorrow.
A maj who has saved many lives, in
speaking with a Chinese once said they
were very ieartless and cited this San
francisco fire as an example, where
upon the Celestial exclaimed:

ture and consigned to prison for life.
The city has, however, far higher claims
to consideration-for its banks, business
and fine buildings, and still more as the
location of Carlton college.
Annexed to and IA part of this college
are the Goodsell observatory and Viii
liams hall, the latter the gift of DR..
Edward H. Williams, of Philadelphia,
and built III 1880. 1t was then supposed
that this would be ample for the scien-
tific school. but the number of students
has rapidly increased. as the present
tendency of education is toward science
rather than the classics. and an addition
to Williams hall is now agreed upon.
The growth of the college is shown by
the fact that, though there is room in
the chemical laboratory for but forty
students, at least 100 must be provided
for in 1922. The museum is also 50
crowded that Il much larger hall will BE-
required for the splendid collection Of

The addition to Williams hall will pro
vide for these. as well as for the deAIrt-
lnents of biology and physics.
