Woman Makes Statement
That Lad Who Bears Her
Name Is Not Her Own
RELATES STRANGE TALE
Witness Tells How Her Boy
Was Stolen and Child Re
sembling Him Substituted
Special Dispatch to The Call.

REDDING, Aug 10.-When placed
upon the witness stand in Red Bluff
yesterday to be examined in connection
with her application TO have 14-year-
old Burton Melone sent to a corrective
institution Mrs. NJ. B. MelOne. who has
always been considered the boys moth
er, made the startling statement that
she did not think the boy was her SON
Mrs. Melone lives at MantOn, just
over the line that divides Tehama and
Shasta counties. In 1891 a son was
born to Mr. and Mrs. Melone at Han
ford. The little fellow suffered from
spinal trouble from his birth and was
frail and weak. In the year 1894, when
the Midwinter Fair was in progress IN
San Francisco, Mr.. and Mrs. MelOne
and the little boy. then years old, vis-
tied the exposition.
One morning the parents and the
child were standing in front or store
near the Chronicle building, each be-
lieving the other had their son by the
hand. Presently they missed the little
fellow. He could not be found, and the
parents notified the police.
In the evening a strange woman ap-
peared at the MelOne lodgings. She had
with her little boy that bore every re-
semblance to Burton MelOne. He even
wore the clothing, shoes and hat that
Burton wore during the day. A few
minutes prior to this a strange man
appeared and said he knew where the
| boy was and would produce him for
certain amount of money
/ The man and woman both disap-
| peared, and on returning to their home
Mr.. and Mrs. Melone discovered for the
/ first time that the boy that had been
/ given them did not bear the physical
| defects Of their little one, and further
| investigation convinced them that they
/ had been given a strange boy.
/ The child that had been returned to
them is now rugged boy, but bad as
| sociates and disObedience have caused
| his parents and their neighbOrs great
| anxiety and sorrow. He ran away last
/ February and went to Portland, but
l was returned to his home in May. One
/ day last winter he pointed a gun at
Mrs. Melone and threatened to shoot
| her If she did not give him some money.
He said he did it for fun Where Bur-
/ ton Melone is no one knows

ATASCADERO, Aug. 10.-The camp
is now in full swing. Everything is
settled and moving like clockwork and
all in readiness to receive the State mi
litia, which will be coming into camp
during Saturday.
General Macarthur is loud in his
praise of the camp and the leading Of
ficers think it a fine field for the big
maneuvers.
The weather is absolutely perfect. 1t
is warm during the day, but cold at
night. Blankets are in demand.
General Macarthur again made an
other detour of the Henry ranch and
has now been practically over the
whole territory over which the maneu-
vers will take place.
About seventy miles of his trip was
made in the new automobile of the
Signal Corps Service and the balance
of about twenty miles he made on
horseback.
The Signal Corps auto has proved a
big success so far. Captain Carl Hart
mann, in charge of the corps here, says
that the machine will meet every re-
quirement. Its demonstration during

LITTLE DANGER OF SPLIT
In RANKS OF THE IRISH
Leader O'Brien Is Alone I'm His Ef-
forts to Conciliate the
Landlords.

DUBLIN, Aug. lot was clearly
demonstrated alta meeting of the ma
tional directory here to-day that all the
prophecies of a new split in the Irish
party are quite astray. No influential
body or opinion either inside or out
side the Irish party supports O'Brien.
He enjoys great deal of affectionate
loyalty among his constituents in Cork
and in the County Mayo, where he re-
sides, but the general sense of the
country is behind Redmond, Dillon,
Davitt, Blake, T. p. O'Connor and the
Irish party.
Out of the question of the price to
be paid for Irish land and the best
way to prevent the landlords from OBJ
tanning extravagant prices by taking
advantage of their tenants necessities,
the whole dispute arose. Notwith-
standing the illiberal attitude of the
landlords, O'Brien is still in favor of
Cancellation. He believes they are
asking too much because they are be-
ing offered too little.
No Irish leader takes this view ex-
cept O'Brien. His friends have pledged
themselves to abide by the decision of
the national directory and to support
Redmond and his lieutenants in their
policy of strenuous opposition to the
landlords and their extravagant de-
mands.

1t was witnessed by big crowd of
officers from the oak-covered hillside in
front of General MacArthur's tent. A
big crowd also came up from Paso
Robles hotels and Templeton in autos
and carriages.
The Fifteenth Infantry band will give
concert tonight at 8 o'clock in front
of General MacArthurs tent. There
will be concert here every night from
now on by either a band of the Thir-
teenth, Fifteenth or Twenty eighth in
fantries.
The Fifteenth Infantry went out into
the hills this morning for an exercise
and tramped fifteen miles before their
return at noon.
Mrs. Macarthur, accompanied by
Miss Elizabeth Henry, drove over from
the Henry home and spent the after
noon looking at the camp.
Asuncion, the nearest railroad sta
ton, has suddenly blossomed out into
a tented city.
The Southern Pacific has established
sleeping accommodations, eating houses
and an auto garage and livery stable
there, so that those wishing to visit
the camp can be taken care of in
camping fashion sort-of-way.
An automobile service will start to-
day between this camp and Asuncion.

SUPPOSED
MURDERER
INNOCENT
Special Dispatch to The Call.

Special Dispatch to The Call.
DIES MONIES, Iowa, Aug. 10.-After
three weeks of mystery that has agi-
tated the entire State it has been estab-
lished that Mrs. Aliene Butterfield Of
Greene County was not murdered by
her husband, as was supposed. She ran
away from home because she learned
that her husband preferred another
woman, one old enough to be his
mother.
Mrs. Butterfield would never have
been located but for the fact that she
read a newspaper account of an at
tempt to lynch her husband as her sup
posed murderer. When he reappeared
at Butterfield's farm after having de-
serted her three months ago and left
his wife to raise $50 acres of corn sin
gle-handed, the indignation of the
neighbors found expression In the or
ganization of a mob, and the Sheriff
was barely able to avert a tragedy.
Bloody clothes were found in a field
and it was taken as conclusive evidence
that a murder had been committed.
Mrs. Butterfield determined to save
her husband and wrote a letter to the
Sheriff assuring him that she was alive.
The Sheriff came to Des Moines to-day
and after a long search found the
woman.

HAYS NOTE MAY
END ORIENT War
Diplomats Anticipate Fall
of Port Arthur and Disas-
ter to KurOpatkin'S Army

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 10.-Dis-
counting the fall of Port Arthur and
the disastrous defeat of General Kuro
patkin at the hands of the combined
japanese armies, some diplomats are
already speculating upon the situation
in which the combatants would be left
and the question as to whether
it is possible that a way would
be opened for peace. The almost unan-
imOus opinion is that, with her present
record of victories combined with the
financial difficulties of continuing the
war indefinitely, Japan would welcome
peace, and the almost equal unanimous
verdict is that Russia would adopt a
contrary course. Even should every
Russian soldier be driven out of Man
churia the diplomats believe Russia
could not afford to yield, but would be
compelled to doggedly continue the
war, collect another army in Siberia
and take the offensive next year.
Several keen diplomats, however are
of the opinion that Japan, by clever
coup in the event of Kuropatkin being
routed, might perhaps force the powers
to intervene in a way that Russia
could not resist. One diplomat repre-
senting a European power at the court
of Emperor Nicholas said:
Secretary Hays note opening a way
for the guarantee for the administra-
tive entity of China, to which all Of the
powers subscribed in principle, may
after all become the means of bringing
about peace. If japan, pushing the
Russian military forces out of Manchu-
ria and obtaining undisputed posses
sion, should then formally relinquish
the province to China, it's real owner,
and call upon the powers under their
guarantee TO protect the entity of the
Celestial empire, I do not think the
powers could escape responsibility"

japanese vessels engaged and pursued
IT. The pursuit lasted two hours and a
half. The hospital ship Mongolia, car

Captain ROsrchavOski of the Russian
torpedo destroyer Riesitelini. which
emerged from Port Arthur with the
fleet and which arrived here early this
morning says that the vessels engines
broke down when she was midway be-
Sween Chefu and Port Arthur. He pro-
ceeded at a speed of twelve knots to
this port. He says he saw no Japanese
vessels.
The naval officer intimates that the
Narships expect TO join the Nladivo-
EtOk squadron, which, he said. had
been recruited by the purchase of ships
from the Argentine Republic.
Captain ROstchavoski said further
that the Russian torpedo boats, gun
boats and small craft generally re-
mained at Port Arthur. Some came
OUT 10 perform their usual duties in
the vicinity, but they did not follow
The big ships.
Captain ROstchaVOski said that the
recent firing heard at Chefu evidently
came from Port Arthur, where the
japanese continued TO attack daily
with scarcely less energy than they
manifested during the severe three
Gays lighting the latter part of July
The japanese line, he said, now ex-

question for discussion after the war.

COUNTY ATTORNEY Is SAFE.
Doesn't Have to Hunt for Evidence of
Liquor Law Violations

There are doubtless a considerable
number of county attorneys in Kansas
who will be relieved to hear that the
supreme court refuses to Gust Henry
o. Trinkle as county attorney of Linn
county because he does not prosecute
violators of the prohibitory law.
Trinkle was charged with refusing to
bring prosecutions even after he was
told about law violations, and in one
instance he was charged with dis
missing a case for a money considera-
ton. The court. decided that the evil
dence was not sufficient to warrant
Ousting him from office, however. 1t
holds that the issue of primary i'm
portance in a case of that kind is the
county attorneys good faith in his
official conduct.
In the syllabus of the opinion in the
Trinkle case is a paragraph which is
average layman, does not seem over
burdened with good judgment. 1t is
as follows:
"A county attorney is not obliged to
institute proceedings for the punish
ment of offenders against the prohibit
tory law upon his own knowledge; but
whenever notified by an officer or
other person of any violation of that
law, it is his duty forthwith diligently
upon him by law for the purpose of
disclosing. prosecuting and Furnishing
the offender
In other words if a county attorney
knows personally of the commission of
a crime he does not have to do any
thing about it. but the minute some
body comes and tells him about it or
