HIS PARENTS FOUND.
Rufus EmmOns Belongs in Lynn,
Mass,

ASuAuo 1munOn0 bGIOnK0 LINN.
MASS.
Rufus Emmons, a ten-year-old lad, ran
away from his home in Lynn, Mass, sew
eral months ago. and since that time had
undergone. an experience far from envia-
bic. For five weeks past the youngster has
been confined in the District workhouse as
yagrant. He will be sent to his home
this afternoon, and the climax thereby
reached In a case presenting features CT
more than. ordinary interest.
The first Washington knew of the pres
ence or the boy was during the evening of
october 10. when he was arrested near
Eckington, IN company with William Molin
and Frank Hart, professional tramps CT
'hoboes." At the station he gave his name
as Robinson Lewis, and wher arraIgaed in
the Police Court the following day The evil
dences OF responsibility, apparent in me
manner and behavior of the little fell
low, attracted the attention of Judge Kim
ball. who questioned him closely at some
length. The boy admitted that he had run
away from home. He told the court that
his parents resided on 35th street, New
York city.
At the direction Of Judge Kimball, Dep
uty Clerk N. c. Harper communicated with
Chief of Police Conlin and requested that
an effort he made to locate the parents of
the boy. In few days a reply arrived to
the effect that the parties could not be
found. The facts were set before the
boy, and he repeated his former oeclara-
tion, adding that the name of his father
was Charles Lewis, and that he resided
rear grocery establishment in a certain
portion Of 35th street. Again Chief of Po-
lice Conlin was requested to make search,
and once more came the reply that the
parties described did not reside in the
locality indicated.
Judge Kimbail accused the boy of falsi-
tying. and he finally broke down and con-
fessed his name to be Rufus Emmons, and
that he was son of Mr. and Mrs. Carey
X. Enmons. well-to-do persons of 49, Shep-
erd street, Lynn, Mass. The lad said that
his father and mother were continually
qIarreling, and that his home was decii-
edly unpleasant For those reasons he had
departed, and. he declared he would. if
returned to his home run away again ct
the first opportunity.
letter was sent to the mayor Of Lynn
who teiegraphed the reply:
Rusus Emmons belongs here"
Shortly thereafter Clerk HARPER WAS in
receipt OF stateme Mt from Rev. A. A. Will
hams or Lynn, setting forth that the EN-
mems home has always been peaceful and
pleasant, and that the allegations TO the
contrary made by Rufus were false 1t
was asked that the boy be detained in q
reformatory if possible. This was done un-

More About Golden Quail.

To tine Editor Of The Evening STAR
Will The Star do US the kindness to give
to the public our side Of the story? l no
tice by your comments, in your editorial
recently. and by numerous letters published
lately, that the public Is liable to be i'm
pressed with the idea that Mr.. r. A. Col
den escaped punishment by technicalty
of the law, and that Judge Miller favored
us by hts construction of the game stat
utes of this District Now. If Judge Miller
decided wrong in this particular case, the
learned judges of Oregon, Massachusetts.
Wisconsin. Minnesota and several other
states, that ruled precisely as he did in
similar cases, must be wrong also. The
quail in controversy were shipped to us
from Mcpherson, Kan, where they are
shipped out of the state. They were sent
to us on commission, and they were never
solicited. The shipper, learning of us as
reliable commission merchants, had for
warded the birds to us to have disposition
made of them. We went into court with
letters and data, prepared to prove these
facts. How Judge Miller could have ruled
otherwise would have been a mystery to
u.s. nor would we have abided by any other
decision than the one he made, until the
last tribunal should have passed upon it,
VIII some one please inform me why by
eating Kansas quail in the city of Wash
ington the game laws of the District are
affected? I also ask, has any wild deer or
grouse or prairie chicken been seen in this
ten-mile square for the last thirty years?
And still they are barred from our tables
at the very season of the year when they
are at their best by the game laws of this
District. There Is some talk Of revising
and making new game law. l hope when
they do that the promoters and makers of
1t will take into consideration that this ten
mile square of ours Is thickly settled, and
1t Is safe to say that not one barrel of game
exists in the whole District, and that the
people who come here should not be dis
franchised from eating game but should
enjoy the same privileges as other citizens
OF these United States, and be allowed to
eat here what people in Kansas are al
lowed to eat there. ! am something of a

HANNA AND SILVER MEN.
II He Was Nominated the Latter
MiGht Opp0se Confirmation.

Might Oppose Confirmation.
The question is being discussed among
silver men in Washington whether the sill
yer men in the Senate would confirm the
nomination of Mark Hanna as Secretary
of the Treasury. There has been no pub
lie senatorial announcement the sub
ject, but silver men in the city are certain,
they say. that fight en- Mr. Hanna would
be proposed in the caucus of silver men,
whether it went any further or not The
ostensible grounds for opposition would be
the section of the statute which IS quoted
against Mr.. HaEna's eligibility. This would
serve as the basis for q fight, but the
hatred OF Hanna would be the real fOunda-
ton. Other silver men think the nominal
ton might be allowed to go through in the
hope that Mr.. Hanna's administration
would be open to criticism, which would
benefit the silver cause.
