PREFERRED SEA
TO FAMILY.
Rudolph Kraus Brings His
Children From Ohio and
reserts Them.
10 RESUME HIS SEAPARIEG LIFE
Two stspdaughters Tell Chief
Murphy a Sad Tale OF
Destitution.

A sad and cruel case of desertion Of a
family by a father, and one that almost
made Chief of Police Murphy lament that
New Jersey did not provide whipping
posts for men who ill-treat women they
swear to cherish and protect when they
marry them was reported at police head
quarters today
1t was the story of two girls, Matte
Brown, eighteen years old and her sister
Lola, sixteen years old. They first re-
ported to Police Captain Cody, of the
Gregory street station that their step
father Rudolph Kraus, had brought the
family from East Liverpool. Ohio, in
stalled them at No. 81 Sussex street, and
told them that he once followed the sea
and that he was going to resume his oc-
would never see him again. This he did
yesterday and disappeared leaving his
family without cent. The two girls told
heartrending story concerning their
stepfather's deceit and of the family's
consequent suffering.
Roundsman Higgins was detailed to in
vesuigate the story and reported that ev-
erytning he found out bore out the story
Of the two girls. The family
was without food and fuel to
keep them warm. A baby is a
recent addition to the family. Captain
Cody immediately dispatched money out
of his own pockets to relieve the immedi-
Ete wants of the deserted family but
steps were Immediately taken to let the
Poormaster take care of them and ar
rangements are being made to send them
back to Liverpool, Ohio, where they have
friends.
The police are inclined to doubt that
Kraus is sea-faring man, and think
that his story that he was again going to
sea is unFuthful. They're looking for
him.
The family is living in two rooms on
sthe top foor of No. 81 Sussex street.

HARNESS THE FALLS
Senator Clark and Associates VIII
Erect an Immense Power Plant
at Shoshone Falls.

Attorneys N. NJ. Ruick, of Boise
and j. E. Lane, OF this. place, at
torneys for Senator Clark and as
sociates, owners sof the lands sur
rounding Shoshone Falls filed with
the state engineer yesterday an APP
plication to divert 200O cubic feet
per second of the waters of Snake
river at that point to be used for
developing electric power.
According to the plans filed the
plant Is to>be located on the south
bank of the river, the site of the
power house being a short distance
below the falls and the water to be
conveyed thereto by tunnel 2100
feet in length, connecting with
deep water above the falls, there
by obviating the necessity for plac-
ing dams, f1ues or unsightly struc-
lures at the falls.
1t is proposed to generate $4,000
horse power, and the estimated
cost Of the work is 81, 100000.
The amount of capital behind
the project is stated in the applica-
ton for the permit to be is $5,OOO,-
O00 but this is a small fraction Of |
the wealth of the parties who have !
set this enterprise on foot, and |
which is available for this and |
such other enterprises as are GER
tain TO spring up in connection
with it and nee ssary to furnish
market for the immense power to
be developsd.-
The plans contemplate the trans
mission Of power to the longest dis
