CONFESSES SHE TRADED
IN POOR LITTLE WAITS
Olympia Woman Takes Babes From
Asylums and Distributes Them
Around Doorsteps.

TACOMA, Wash, Jan. S.-There has
been a perfect epidemic of abandoned ba-
bies in Olympia during the past eighteen
months or two years. Often the poor lit
tie waits have been left upon inhospitable
doorsteps, where they received but cold
welcomes from families who objected to
having their homes made asylums for
babes of whom nothing was known as TO
parentage The frequency with which
these tiny unfortunates were unloaded
upon unappreciative Olympia citizens be-
gan to increase to such an extent that Of
fetal investigation became necessary.
After some skillful Sherlock Holmes
work Mayor Lord and Chief of Police
Savidge of Olympia located the offending
person and called upon her. woman well
known in that city confessed to having
been the source of supply and admitted
that she had been in the habit of visiting
institutions in Seattle. Portland and Ia
coma and taking charge, probably for
consideration, of babies born under un-
fortunate circumstances. These little
ones were taken to Olympia and placed"
where she supposed they would be well
come, but she often showed very poor
Judgment in her selection, for the last
babe was left upon the doorstep of a
workingman already blessed with eight
children of his own. The woman was
warned that she must quit her practice.
for Olympia families generally are well
supplied with little ones and if there are
any who wish to adopt baby they wish
to have some voice in its selection.

Refreshments to Suit All Palates Will Be
Served at the inaugural Ball.

As to solids, there will be all manner Of
cakes and sandwiches and they will be
served at tables capable of seating 800 at
a time. The inaugural ball committee is
congratulating itself upon the fine diplo-.
macy by which it has given assurance of
"a most enjoyable time all around.
About a month ago the local Cooks and
Walters Union served notice on the ball
managers that they would insist upon
only union walters being employed and
that they would charge IS each for the
evenings work. AS the local union does
not admit colored members. the managers
were placed in the position OF departing
from the custom of other years or having
an unpleasant squabble. But an arrange
ment has been reached by which twenty
four white walters will attend to the ta
bles, while twelve colored men will dis
pense the punches.
Dancing will take place in both the Sen
ate and Assembly chambers, while in the
rotunda the band will discourse concert
music.
The Governors party, the Governors
staff, the State officers-elect and the mem
bers of the Legislature with their ladies
will form the first division of the grand
march. There will be no banquet as in
former years, but instead refreshments
will be served continuously from 10 p. m.
to the close of the ball in the corridors IN

building on the ground floor. The grand

be reinforced by other opponents of the
proposed irrigation act and a merry battle
is in prospect. Senator Caldwell of River
side is expected to lead the opposition in
the upper house Ii is understood that
every member of the Southern delegation
will oppose the bill. The plan is to defeat
it in committee. Smythe will deliver
speeches in opposition if permission is
granted him.
The Works bill was prepared by Judge
John d. Works of Los Angeles. 1t was
approved by the Water and Forest Asso-
citation at its session in the Palace Hotel,
San Francisco. a short time ago. Irriga-
tionists and farmers who believe they
would lose valuable holdings and suffer
annoyance and expense If the Works bill
were framed and adopted by the Legisla-
ture held a mass meeting at Riverside in
December and protested against it. AS
result Of that protest smythe and other
interested parties have come to the Capt.
tol to defeat it. In discussing the matter
to-day, Smythe said:
Southern California is a unit in opposition to
this bill. There very many interests in
Central and Northern California that will
stand with us in lighting this measure not
withstanGng that the various parts compos-
ing the opposition will probably be unable 70
agree upon any measure themselves. The

the ownership Of water by another, and this
result should be fought against with venge-

Insane.
Brother Of the Woman Is
Blamed for Her Sudden
Flight.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

DRESDEN, Jan. S-I have just had in
terviews with a number Of the highest
officials of the Saxon court including a
close relative and conhdant of the Crown
Prince, in order to obtain a faithful pict-
ure of the present attitude Of the Saxon
court toward Princess Louise. These in
terviews without exception contradict
some allegations attributed to Princess
Louise. NJ. Giron and Archduke Leopold
Ferdinand. Following is truthful ac-
count of the Saxon courts official version
Of the affair:
"Archduke Leopold Ferdinand Is almost
solely blamed for the action Of his sis
ter. While NJ. Giron was a willing tool,
who with cunning words and intrigues,
helped to persuade the Crown Princess 70

Crown Prince Is willing to bring about
a reconciliation to the extent that Prin-
cess Louise viii be permitted to return to
Saxony and occupy, under the care OF
the crown. some sheltered retreat where
she may occasionally meet her children.
But such a step Is impossible as long
as the King and the immediate members
of the royal family all express the con-
viction that the Princess shares the men
tai weaknesses which characterize other
members of the house of Tuscany

her private rooms were searched and
many volumes of forbidden novels were

LUKENs MAY BE REGENT.
Pardee Is Said to Favor Alamedan
as His Successor.


SACRAMENTO Jan. s.-That Senator
Lukens Of Alameda is the favored candi-
date Of Governor Pardee as the latters
successor TO the position Of regent of the
University Of California was common
talk in the Senate chamber to-day. Be
ing a graduate Of the institution and the
author Of several bills which are to be
presented with a view of relieving the
financial stringency Of the university, he
is deemed a logical candidate for the
honor.
The Gage appointments which failed to
receive confirmation during the closing
hours Of his administra ton will be
brought up in the first order Of business
next week. when the Senate settles down
to its regular work. and after Lieutenant
Governor Anderson has. formally appoint
ed the standing committees. That the list
will be considerably changed by the Com
rnittee on Executive Communications, into
whose hands 1T will pass, is a foregone
conclusion; but it is still matter of con-
lecture as to just what appointments will
not be reported back to the Senate. To-
dav John Mackenzie left for San Fran
cisco fully confident that he will not be
disturbed. as he claims enough votes in
the Senate to confirm his appointment.
w. E. Gerber, Fish Commissioner, and
Robert T. Devlin. Prison Director, both

sured that they need not worry over their
appointments. The consideration Of the
appointments will probably take place in
the Senate Tuesday forenoon
The question a to who will be appointed
by Governor Pardee to the rank of ma

Guard of the State. is agitating the mem

overcoat. 1t is true that the party who
took his garment left one in its place, yet
the substitute is not as dressy as his own
reverend gentleman does not accuse any
one of theft. but he would have a higher
opinion OF the man who made the change
if he rectified the error.
When the Senate opened this morning
the Rev. Mr.. Mel placed his overcoat on
the desk and ascended the rostrum to de-
liver the prayer. Other matters occupied
his attention, and when the upper house
adjourned he proceeded to the place
where he left his overcoat, and,
much to his chagrin, he found it gone and
another coat in its place. He took his loss
philosophically. 1t being cold, he tried
the substitute on and found it was built
for a stouter man. In the hope of learn
ing the identity of the man who had
switched coats with him. the chaplain eX-
plored the pockets. He soon discovered
that the coat belonged to a worldly man.
A deck of cards. silver flask and a briar-
wood pipe assured him of this fact 1t
being very cold the reverend gentleman of
necessity had to wear the overcoat but
he was undecided what TO do with the
articles he found. He feared the man
who took his coat might meet him unex-
pectedly and demand It, and If the con-
tents Of the pockets were gone he might
make accusations. The chaplain, per-
force, had to carry the things around and
he bushed every time his hand touched
the playing cards the liquor flask.
In order not to hurt the feelings of the
owner of the coat. the Rev. Mr.. Mel in
tends leaving it in the place where he
found it, in the hape that the owner. hav-
ing discovered his mistake, will return the
chaplain's coat and take his own with
the pipe and the cards and the flask.

TWO MEN ARE DROWNED
IN THE RUSSIAN RIVER
Lose Their Lives While Attempting
to Ford the Stream Below

SANTA ROSA. Jan. Son Thursday
evening last Santo Bottini and Gianini
Girolimo departed from Healdsburg after
dark to return to the ranch of the former.
located near the foot of Fitch mountain
They were compelled to ford the river,
and late in the evening their horse and
cart reach home minus the occupants.
The theory was advanced that the men
had met their deaths by drowning in the
treacherous Russian River. RumOrs then
began TO float around that Bottini had a
large sum of money on his person, and
the belief rapidly gained ground that the
men were victims of foul play. Late
Tuesday evening the seat of the cart in
which the men journeyed to Healdsburg
was found a short distance below the
county bridge at Healdsburg, and on
Thursday morning the hat of one of the
men was found near the same spot in a
clump of willow trees. This is taken as
indicating that the river still contains
the bodies of the two men.
