TRAILS SON-IN-LAW
FOR THE DETECTIVES
Colorado Man Would Pro-
tect Daughter From Ac-
cused Husband.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SEATTLE, July 31.-A. G. Lenardson,
until a few weeks ago postal clerk on the
Uinta electric railroad at Uinta, Colo,
was quietly arrested in Portland on Sat
urday night by postoffice inspectors. He
is charged with rif1ing mail sacks in
trusted to him on the electric line. taking
both money and checks. When he lett
Uinta he was accompanied by his bride
of four months. His father-in-law, M.
Stewart of Uinta, when he learned Of
Lenardsons crimes, took up the chase
with the inspectors, and it was through
Stewart that the young man was located.
Stewart is in Seattle tonight and tells
the story. having kept it a secret until
the present time.
After leaving Ulnta Lenardson and his
wife went to Salt Lake, where he cashed
some of the stolen checks, and this was
the first clew the postoffice authorities
had of the direction the couple had taken.
Stewart hastened to Salt Lake, where he
learned that his daughter and her hus-
band had gone to Portland and he hur-
ried after them, locating them at the
fair, where he turned Lenardson over to
the inspectors. Stewart says his daugh-
ter did not know OF the crimes her hus-
band committed and had no part in them

LARGE DEFICIT EXPECTED
IN POSTAL BUSINESS

According to an estimate based on re-
turns for the first three-quarters of the
current fiscal year there will be deficit
of ST., 100000 on the books of the postal
service on July 1. This is the biggest de-
felt in the history of the service, ap-
preached only in 1860 and in 1895, when it
was a little more than $4,000 900. The
big doficit this year is attributed to the
unusual expenditures for rural free de-
livery, amounting to more than $22, 10000
From 1885 to 1902 there was a steady de-
cline in the excess of expenditures over
receipts, eliminating in 1902, when the
deficit was less than S3000,000. In 1903
however, the deficit again began to in
crease, as the rural free delivery service
expanded and in 1904 it amounted to
nearly So, 900.
The amount of improbable matter car.
ried by the railroads upon which the
Government loses large amounts annual
ly is given as an additional drain on the
revenues of the postal service, which was
felt more this year than at any time
heretofore This is due to the change in
the manner of administering the star
route service. For years big contractors
controlled the star route business and
sublet the work. BY this system of con-
solidation they were enabled to perform
the service at minimum OF cost Under
the plan adopted few years ago the
Individual submitting bid for the trans
portation of mail on star route must
live on the route and do his own work,
and this has greatly increased the cost
of star routes, which were formerly con-
tracted for by big concerns.
City free delivery has also greatly in
creased in cost, as n Las been extended
to communities that have not heretofore
enjoyed it, and enlarged in those where
1t has long been established.
1t is estimated at the department that
the rural service for the next year will
involve an expenditure of at least $26. .00O,-
900, and If the postal business continues
as at present the next postal deficit will
be much larger than the one now con-
fronting the Postmaster General.-Wash-

FRESH TREATY

New Agreement Said to Have
Been Offered the United
States by the Chinese
PROVISIONS OUTLINED
Aims to Keep LabOrers of
Each Country From Other,
But MOdities Former Pact

SEATTLE, July 31.-The Post-Intel-
ligencer tomorrow will publish text
of the proposed new treaty on the i'm
migration question as set forth by the
Chinese Government. The draft is under
consideration by this Government, being
a substitution for the last treaty between
the two Governments regarding the ex-
clusion of Chinese labor from the United
States.
After the date of signing the treaty,
laborers of each country shall be ex-
cluded from the other, laborers being
miners, hawkers, washermen, fishers who
salt or dry fish for export or local trade
Americans or Chinese not laborers are
not within the restriction. The treaty is
not retroactive, provisions being made for
laborers to return to their native coun-
tries, certificates being furnished.
Chinese laborers for countries other
than America shall have the right to pass
through the United States subject to the
regulations of the nation.
American possessions being different
from America proper, Chinese laborers
may be admitted into the Hawaiian
Islands and Philippines as subjects of
other Eastern nations. Chinese sub
jects other than Iaborers shall be ad-
mitted into and permitted to reside in
this country provided that certificates
are furnished them.
All Chinese subjects who wish to en-
ter America having proper securities
shall not be detained or imprisoned.
When officials desire to inquire into the
rights granted to Chinese subjects in
reference to their admission, said SUBJ
jects shall be allowed to secure for
themselves representatives. The right
to appeal from the ruling of the off,
Gals is granted.
Where Chinese have no authority to
enter, officials have power to grant en-
trance or passage through the country.
Chinese in America shall be unmolested
as long as they are law-abiding and
none shall be arrested without a war
rant.
Chinese, excepting laborers, perma-
nent or transient, shall have the privi-
lege of bringing families to this coun-
try If they present proper certificates.
Chinese may not become citizens of
the United States. The United
States and China have a right to
register Americans and Chinese in
their respective countries. Disagre
ments in interpretations of the treaty
are to be referred to The Hague or
arbitrators elected with the sanction of
both countries.
The treaty is to be effective for ten
years A years notice is necessary to
abrogate

ART OF FLY-FISHING
PRACTICED IN ANTIQUITY
Greek Writer of the Third Century De-
scribes the Method
EuIIv

Probably few fishermen are aware
that fly fishing dates back to classic
times. A minute description of the
artificial fly as used by Macedonian
anglers is given by Aelian, a Greek
writer of the third century A. D., as
follows:
Between Berea and Thessalonica
there flows river, Astraeus by name,
and there in it fishes of a spotted color,
but by what name people of those parts
call them 1t is better to ask Macedon-
ians. At any rate these fish live upon
the native flies which fall into the river
and are like no flies of any other part;
one would neither call them wasplike
in appearance, nor would one reply TO
question that this creature Is formed
like what we call the humble bees,
nor yet like the honey bees themselves.
1t has really the proper fashion of each
of the above. In audacity it is like a
fly. in size it might be called humble
bee, in color it rivals the wasp and it
buzzes like the honey bees. All com
mon creatures of this sort are called
horse tails. These pitch upon the
stream to seek the food they affect, but
cannot help being seen by the fish
which swim Underneath.
so whenever one of them sees the fly
floating he comes softly. swimming un-
der the water, afraid of disturbing the
Then he comes near the shady side of
the fly, gapes and sucks him in, just
like a wolf snatching a sheep from the
fold or an eagle a goose from the
yard This done, he disappears beneath
the ripple. The fishermen understand
these maneuvers but they do not make
any use of these flies for bait for the
fish, for if the human hand lays hold
of them they lose their natural color,
their wings fray and they become un-
eatable to the fish. So for this reason
they make no use of them, disliking
them because their nature forbids their
capture.
so with angling craft they outwit
the fish, devising a sort of lure against
them. They lap a lock of reddish wool
round the hook, and to the wool two
cocks feathers which grow under the
wattles, and are brought TO the proper
color with wax. The rod is from SIX
to ten feet long. and the horse hair line
has the same length. They lower the
lure the fish is attracted by the color,
excited draws close, and, judging from
it's beautiful appearance that it will OBJ
tain a marvellous banquet. forthwith
opens it's mouth. but is caught by the
hook. and bitter. indeed. is the feast II
has inasmuch as it's Is captured.-

PLAN SAILORS, HOME.
Memorial to Bennington Dead to Take
New Form.

SAN DIEGO, July SL-The general
committee in charge Of the Bennington
memorial plan held a meeting this aft
ernoon and decided first TO change the
title OF the organized committee from

Is found in the fact that there is a
strong sentiment toward making the
memorial a Sailors Home instead OF a
monument.

SAN JOSE, July S1.-Rev. Richard A.
Gleason. who has been rector of st.
Joseph's Church of San Jose for the past
six years. was to-day appointed president
OF Santa Clara College to succeed Rev.
Robert E. Kenna; who has ably served
as president of the college for several
years. -
The announcement was made at the
college this afternoon and the news
spread rapidly. Father Kenna enjoys the
respect and esteem not only Of the
students, but of the community at large,
and Father Gleason is recognized as a
worthy successor to the man who has
done so much for the school.
1t is said that Father Kenna Will go
to st. Ignatius College in San Fran
cisco. He has served as president Of the
Santa Clara College for two terms and
was rector of St. Joseph's for three years.
For almost twelve years he controlled
the destinies Of the college at Santa
Clara, and during that time he impressed
his strong personality on the students to
a marked degree and was recognized as
a powerful factor in pulpit life. He was
president of St. Ignatius College for a
period of three years, which gives rise
to the surInise that he will return TO take
charge of that school.
1t was through the efforts of Father
Kenna that the handsome memorial
chapel was erected some years ago and
many other costly improvements made

COLLINS LOSES
ANOTHER POINT
Canadian Judge Decides for
Prosecution in Regard
to Some Disputed Papers
FIGHT WILL CONTINUE
Fugitive Announces That He
Will Attack the Evidence
Act of British America
WILL CONTINUE
Special Dispatch to tn. CALI

VICTORIA, B. c., July 31.-George D.
Collins Is finding that the British Celun-
bia courts are very difficult to manipu-
late. He lost some important ground In
Judge Lampman's court to-day, the
Judge upholding the arguments OF the
prosecuting counsel on material points.
The greater part of the time in to-days
proceedings in the famous extradition
case was taken up in the argument Of
objections previously raised by the ac-
cused regarding the adInissibility OF dep
ositions and papers brought from San
Francisco by Detective Gibson. AS to the
depositions, the position taken by Collins
was that they were not properly authen-
ticated and that, whereas it was stated
that they were originals, a certificate pre-
sented with them signed by j. j.. Greif
said they were copies.
Without any decision being given as to
the depositions the question of the ad-
instability of the documents relating to
the suit for maintenance brought by
Charlotte E. Collins against the accused
was taken up. Collins contended that
these documents were inmateriai and ir-
relevant. If the alleged oath made to
the affidavit was false, it was false when
made and that event was anterior to
these papers. Therefore everything sub
sequent was immaterial and irrelevant.
he contended. Attorney Higgins for the
prosecution contended that the papers
should be admitted and in this he was
upheld by Judge Lampman.
Collins then announced ne would attack
the Canada evidence act on the ground
that it was unconstitutional. The case
will be cotinued tomorrow morning.

at the college. The school itself each
year grew larger until 1t became neces-
sary TO cast about for larger and more
convenient quarters. With this aim in
view, Father Kenna has labored for
years to secure land and the necessary
funds to build new college and the
fruition of his labors was in sight when
he was transferred to another sphere of
action. Already large sums of money
have been pledged to him for the erection
Of a larger college near Mountain View.
The land has been purchased and the
president of the school was anxiously
looking forward to the completion of his
labors in this direction.
The departure of Rev. Father Kenna
will be regretted by thousands who knew
hfs kindly nature and great natural abili-
ties. He was a power for good in the
community and his influence was always
used in the best interests of the county
of Santa Clara. His learning command
ed respect, while his affability and cour-
teous demeanor endeared him to all. He
was the friend of every student enrolled
in the college, and his departure will be
regretted by thousands of graduates who
in their college days looked upon him as
a close friend and sure guide.
The natural regret over the loss of this
able educator is tempered, however. by
worthy to occupy the position and will
prove an able successor to Rev. Father
Kenna.
