PINGREE IN CONTEMPT.
Ingham County Bar Wants Him
Called to Account.

Lansing. Mich, Dec. 24-On petition
Of members of the Ingham county bar,
Judge Wiest-of the Ingham county court
today ordered Governor Pingree to ap-
pear in court next Saturday and show
cause why he should not be punished
for cont znnpt.
The action is based on an intervievE
which was published in the Detr5It
Tribune December z, in which the gov
ernOr bitterly attacked Judge West and
Prosecutor Tuttle of Ingham county.
Attached to the petition for an order is
an AFFIDAVIT by the Tribune reporter,
who secured the interview which affirms
that it was given for publication and
that the following day the governor in
formed him that. the interview as print
ed was all right and commended it's fair

KEPT GUESSING.
British Public Experiences Confusion
in Regard to Treaty.

New York. Dec. PA dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
The announcement in dispatches from
Washington that the amended canal
treaty will be sent to London represses
the ardor of the press in discussing the
new questions raised by the senators.
There are no cues from the foreign
office, both Lord +LanSdOWne and Lord
Cranborne being inaccessible so far as
London leader writer's are concerned,
and under officials not being allowed to
say anything about diplomatic affairs.
The controversy will not be kept up by
the press at an unreasonable time when
the ministers are taking a holiday and
nobody knows what view they take of
the vague and academic quality of the
Davis amendment or the precise effects
of the interpolated clause superseding
the Clayton-BulWer treaty or of other
changes in the convention. Two in
ferences are safely drawn by men in
touch with the diplomatic circle. One is
that the British government Is better
pleased with the amendment Of the
treaty than it would have been with
the rejection of the convention outright
and the consequent reversion to the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty 1t can now
have the final privilege of examining
the amendments and of either revising
or rejecting them and is left in more
dignifed position than it would have oc-
cupied if the treaty had. been thrown
out altogether at Washington. The
other inference is that the retention of
the Suez rules in the convention will
enable the American ambassador here
to confer with the foreign offices and
possibly to effect some REIMBURSEMENT or
compromise. The prospect of success
may not be hopeful. but it is not out
side the range of possibilities Public
opinion here has been confused by the
contradictory lines taken by the Amer
lean correspondents of the London
press and whatever conclusion is
reached by the foreign Office will be ac-
cepted without dissent.

NOT AS PEACEMAKER.
United States Will Not Assist IN IN
tangling Chili's Troubles.

New York Dec 24-Peru and Bolivia
must look elsewhere than the United
States for help in resisting the claims of
Chill to the provinces of Tacna and africa,
says the Washington correspondent of the
Herald.
The Peruvian and Bolivian governments
recently requested the United States to
use it's good offices in bringing about a
peaceful and satisfactory solution OF the
dispute with Chill. Secretary Hay defin-
itely and fully declined to accede to the
request
This action will probably have an i'm
portant effect upon ChiIi's course with re-
spect to the invitation of the government
of Mexico to participate in the pan Amer

about accepting the invitation because of
her fear that the Peruvian and Bolivian

KINGSLAND IN TROUBLE
Topeka Man in Indiana Jail For
Serious O0Dense.

Frank H E,ingsland who is wanted
in Topeka for embezzling from Forbes
Bros, is in trouble in the east. accord
ing to a dispatch from LogansDort Ind.
under a date line OF December %,
which is as follows:
"A man giving the name Of Frank Fl.
Kingsland and his home at Topeka
kas., arrived in the city yesterday and
late last night was placed in Jail after
having spent the day examining money
in the cash drawers OF merchants and
saloon keepers. kingsland represented
himself as a revenue officer and showed
a bundle of papers which had seals on
and which he declared were authority
for looking for counterfeit coins.
Kingsland also visited the Office Of Dr.
Rubsam and appointed him medical ex-
aminer for new fraternal order, COLI
Letting the fee of SO therefore. Rub
sam had him arrested, and today the
United States authorities are taking
action against Kingsland for imperaon-
ating a revenue officer"
Kingsland was well known IN this city
and left here last June when a warrant
was sworn out for his arrest by Forbes
Bros. in the city court. KinRsland had
been selling flour for them and had coll
elected S36 which he failed TO turn over
When the warrant was issued he could
not be found although search was
made for him in the eastern part Of the
state and in Missouri.
Prior to working for Forbes Bros
Kingsland had been city license collect
or during the time that &. A. Fellows
was mayor. He was at one time city
sidewalk inspector and was also an in
surance solicitor.
About n year ago his wife. who lives
at 1416 Kansas avenue, secured d.
vorce from him on the grounds Of cruel
ty and nOn-support. She Is at present
working in the asylum.
Kingsland was known as a bright man
whose fault was his love ofstrong drink
The men who know him best say that
it is more than likely that his present
trouble is caused By drink.
The city authorities will make an ef-
fort to bring him here to answer the
charge of embezzlement in the city
court.

1t was impossible last night to get
to any Of the postofiice officials TO learn
how extensively the rifiing Of the sack

lice are now trying to figure out Is
whether or not the bag was stolen while
it was being loaded from the rear door
OF the postohice. or whether It was
taken while the wagon was on the way
to the depot. The latter appears to be
the more plausible solution OF the case.

A Growing Town.

OF all the growing towns in
Idaho county few can boast of
more substantial growth in the
past year than White Bird The
town has grown all of 200 per cent.
since our last visit there year ago,
and confirms all we have ever said
OF it, that it is one Of the best trad
ing points in the county. With
the extension Of the p. & l. n.
railroad down Salmon river and up
to this prairie, it will develope into
one OF the largest business centres
along the line Of the road. 1t has
a trade peculiarly it's own, con-
sisting of cattle raisers and miners,
together with a large scope oftribu-
tary agricultural country which is
settling up with great rapidity.
We only stayed to refresh the inner
man, but will be down there again
soon when the business interests
of the town will receive attention.
