The Presidents Plans

Washington, Feb. 21.-It seems prob
able that President Roosevelt will be
in Washington during the heat of the
presidential campaign this year instead
of Oyster Bay. where 1t was supposed
he would remain for several months,
The president has made tentative ar
rangements for the summer and they
include a comparatively brief sojourn
at Oyster Bay.
1t is quite certain that the president
himself will not go to Oyster Bay this
year until after the convention. A few
days. perhaps after the convention, he
will go to his summer home. Assum-
ing that he will be the nominee of his
party for the presidency, 1t is expected
that he win return to Washington to
receive the formal notice of his nomin-
alton. 1t Is possible that he may pro-
long his sojourn at his summer home
until the middle of September, but not
longer than that. He then will return
to Washington and remain here during
the campaign.

the play Is drawn on the melodrama-

HEAVY RAINFALL IN
PARADISE THIS
MORNING
Both Approaches to Bridge
We're Carried Away by
the Flood
WAS ALMOST A MATERSPOUT
Martin Creek Bridges Carried
Away Heaviest Rain in the
Valley Since the Year 1899

Postmaster Case, of Paradise, tele-
phoned to the Silver State this morn
ing that the heaviest rainfall since
1889 visited that vicinity at o'clock
this morning. 1t amounted to almost
a waterspout, and furnished very
unusual spectacle for the citizens Of
the upper valley
Shortly after o'clock the water in
the little creek that flows through
Paradise was twelve feet deep. The
approaches on both sides of the bridge
were carried away, but so far as is
known this is the only damage done
in the town.
A report had just been brought in
to the effect that all the bridges on
Martin creek, most of them small,
however. had been washed away, and
the creek was bank full. AS it runs
through many cattle ranches in the
lower valley, it is feared that there
may be a considerable loss of stock by
drowning. In case this does not occur
the excess of rainfall will be welcomed
by ranchers in all paris of the valley.

of the affair is that the work train was

Young Man Attending Hoboken

Continues Missing.
FRIENDS JOIN IN SEARCH
Thought by Father Of Youth
That Recent Injury Has
Temporarily Deragned
S0n's Mind.


New York. Feb. Members Of the
freshman class of the Stevens Insti-
tute Of Technology, Hobohen, N. j., the
detectives Of that city and the father
of J. Wesley Mitchell, Jr, of Stratford,
Conn, student in the institute. are
searching the boarding houses for the
young man, who has not been heard or
since January Is.
Mitchell entered the freshman class
in September. He stayed in EIoboken
each week from Monday until Friday
and the balance of the time he spent
with his parents at Stratford. He was
of retiring disposition and never told
his rooming place to any Of the stu
dents, and by chance never mentioned
it to his parents, thus leaving no clew
or the searchers to work upon.
On Thursday, January IA, while leav-
ing the institute building, he fell, strik.
ing his head. In speaking of this to his
father on the following Sunday. he said
that he experienced buzzing sensa-
tion at the time in his head, which
physicians say may have been the
starting Of the formation of cIot Of
blood.
Monday, January is, young Mitchell
returned to New York. visited the
Church publishing Company then a
Photographic engraving establishment
on William street, and has not since
been seen. 1t is known that he visited
the last mentioned place, as some work
which he left to be executed was re-
turned to his home In Stratford.
j. Wesley Mitchell, Sr., is in Hohok-
en-, helping in the search. There are
over seven hundred furnished rooms in
that city. Mr.. Mitchell said Of his son
last night,
wesley does not smoke or drink and
is very studious. / could not AFFORD to
send him to college. so he worked for
the necessary money. He was always
talking Of Germany and had frequently
e
expressed his desire to go there after
