MILLION DOLLAR BANK A MYTH.
Treasury Official Brands Alleged Insti-
tuition at Bridgeport a Fake.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.-The con-
controller of the currency has made
public the following statement:
my attention has been called to a
circular letter headed Manufacturers
and Merchants National Bank Of
Bridgeport, Conn.,, Capital 100000
which is being extensively circulated
over the signature of David S. Beach,
president pro tenn. offering notes for
rediscount for the purpose of estab-
fishing active correspondents through
out the United States and to secure in
return reciprocal relations wherever
possible.
NO bank with the title used has
been authorized at Bridgeport, Conn.,,
and the use of the title is deceptive
and a violation of law. In February,
1901. an application was received by
the controllers Office from David S.
Beach and others for authority to or
ganize the Manufacturers & Merchants
National bank of Bridgeport, Conn.,.
with a capital of $1,OOO,O0O, which title
was approved and reserved for the
parties for a period of sixty days.
In September, 1902, a request was
received for an extension of time,
within which to perfect the organiza-
ton, and it was stated that if not COM
pleted within that time, it would be
abandoned, since which date no cor
respondence in relation to the subject
has been received at the controllers
office and the proposed organization
has been considered as being aband-
oned and has been SO treated"
Mr.. Beach has been instructed by
the controller to discontinue the use of
the title indicated on his letterheads.

MOUNT VERNON FEELS FAXED.
Man Who Was to Build Wooden Mill
Walks Out Of Town.

MOUNT VERNON, Feb. S.-The
greatest faker that ever come to this
city was G. H. Miller, who prebpsed to
establish an immense wooden mill here
at cost Of $4,000.
This afternoon Miller was to have
deposited in local bank the sum of
$4,000 as earnest money, but he failed
to keep this obligation. Then he
claimed to have the cash in Seattle
bank The local committee requested
Miller to telegraph the bank, and if the
money was there to arrange to have it
held as security for the beginning of
the plant at once.
Miller then informed the committee
that he did not have the so cents to
pay for the message and the fee was
advanced by a local promoter. The
answer of the bank was that there was
no money to Miller's credit and that it
did not know the man. When asked
to explain the erstwhile promoter re-
fused to talk and he struck out north
on the railroad track in a few
minutes.
It is now learned that Miller played
the same game at Everett and other
cities. The general opinion is that the
man is demented. 1t is supposed that
he was connected with the wooden fill
plant at Oregon city some time ago.
However, he refused to divulge his
business connections with the Oregon
firm He knows the wooden business
thoroughly. The local promoters feel
sore on this affair." Miller gave cigars
to all applicants at their own ex-
pense.

rupt NobIeman's Creditors.

CLEVELAND, O.. Feb. S.-An
American court has decided that a
bankrupt Hungarian noble cannot COM
pei the American wife he married to
assume his debts. The referee in
bankruptcy in the case of Carlotta Hart
de Takacs. the daughter of a wealthy
Cleveland manufacturer, recommends
her discharge, and this recommends
ton, in accordance with the usual pro-
cedure, will be approved by the court.
This will end pathetic romance.
Miss Hart was one of the most
beautiful girls in Cleveland. Blinded
with the glamour of a title when she
was travelling in Europe, she was
wooed and won by the Baron de TAX
acs. whose full title is De Takacs de
Kis-Joka.
The HONEYMOON was brief. Instead
of living in an ancient castle, with
retinue of servants, the young baron
ess found herself the wife of man
heavily in debt Her father says she
was induced to sign notes for more
than 100000, which were discounted
and the proceeds used to pay debts
of the baron contracted before his
marriage

CLEVER BOX CAR WORKERS
THE WORST CRIMINALS RAIL
ROAD DETECTIVES HAVE
TO COPE WITH.
so Saws Detective Fitzgerald Of the
O. r. g. N. Who Was in WalIa
WaIIa Yesterday.

Take an expert boX-car worker ana
ne is the cleverest and most dangerous
criminal we have to deal with outside
of holi-up artists" said Detective F1tz-
gerald of the O. r. & n. secret SER
vice bureau who was in Walla Walla
yesterday looking after reported thefts
of coal from the company's bunkers.
Detective Fitzgerald sat in Judge
Huffmans court yesterday afternoon
and related some exciting experiences
he has had with box-car thieves. las
"A general thing the most expert box-car
workers are ex-railroad men. who at
some time in their lives have been en-
ployed in some capacity or another on
railroads They thoroughly understand
the workings of the road and through
long practice they are able to board
swift moving train, break the seal on
a car and dump what they want with
out one chance in thousand of being
caught while at work. There was
time when it was almost impossible to
ship a car of goods into Walla WaiIa
without having a good part of the stuff
stolen before it arrived at the depot
here.
1t took US some time to locate the
gang but when we did five of them
went to the Oregon penitentiary for
long terms. The expert goes well pre-
pared for his work even to carrying
leads and seals to seal up a car after he
is through with it.
The trick turned down at Wallula
the other night in which a car was
robbed of some tobacco and cigars,
was the work of common hOboes. The
expert goes after the valuable stuff and
will hardly ever take a chance on mer-
chandise of little value
Detective Fitzgerald is of the opin-
ion that authorities of the northwest
states will be compelled to cope with
some of the cleverest criminals in the
United States, who will head for the
coast the minute the Lewis and Clark
exposition opens. The eastern de-
tective bureaus are already sending out
descriptions of pickpockets, sneak
thieves and confidence men who are

MAKE THEM KEEP up STOCK
ANOTHER BILL INTRODUCED IN
THE LEGISLATURE BY STATE
SENATOR REED.
Designed to Make Owners OF Stock
Keep Their Animals Confined
in Fields.

1t appears that the members of the
legislature are determined to put a
stop to stock running at large in the
state of Washington. Last week a bill
was introduced empowering the county
commissioners of the counties of the
state to provide for the impounding of
animals found running at large in
counties where two-thirds of the land
was adapted for agriculture and which
was under fence Now Senator Reed
has introduced another bill on the
subject, but with different provisions.
The bill is as follows:
Section l. Whenever a majority of
the legal voters of any election precinct
of the counties of this state shall by
petition ask the board of county COM
missioners of such county to make an
order that all persons owning domestic
animals of any kind shall keep them
confined on the premises of the owner.
the said board of commissioners shall
make such order under their hands and
cause the same to be entered upon the
records Of their proceedings. And they
shall cause a certified copy thereof
to be published in some newspaper
published in the county for three weeks
before such order shall take effect, and
such order shall continue in force from
year to year until the same shall be
vacated or modified by such board.
Sec. 2. To determine the population
of any township. the vote cast at the
last previous general election shall be
taken as conclusive.
Sec 3. The owners of domestic ami
mails so required to be confined shall
be liable to any persons who shall suf-
fer damage from the depredations of
such animals without regard to the
condition of his or her fence and the
person so damaged shall have a lien
upon such stock for the amount of
damage done, and the cost of proceed
ings to recover the same.
Sec. 4. This act shall take effect
and be in force from and after ninety
days after it is approved by the gov
ernor.

STRIFE AND CONFUSION
ANOTHER ACTION IN THE LITTLE
.WALLA WALLA RIVER IR-
RIGATIoN COMPANY.
Seventeen Residents Along Canal File.
Complaint Against Company
and Collector.

The little Walla Walla Irrigation
district which has been the scene of
much strife and confusion is again in
the throes of discomfort according to
a complaint filed in Pendleton yester-
day, in which proceedings were begun
against the little Walla Walla Irriga-
ton company and William Forsythe,
other residents of the district. The
purpose of the action is to restrain the
defendants and successors from pro-
ceeding with further alleged and unjust
collection of taxes and also for enjoin-
ing the collector from selling the prop
erty of the plaintiffs.
The complaint alleges that between
the first Monday in March and the first
Monday in June in 1904 the assessor
made a pretended assessment of GER
tain lands in the district for the pur-
pose of creating funds for the operation
of canals and works but that the dis
trict has never constructed canals
and works of any kind and for that
reason the assessment was illegal and
void. The complaint also alleges that
the assessor made a pretended levy of
assessment upon the lands so assessed
for the purpose of defraying the ex-
penses of building up, improving and
operating the canals and works when
as a matter of fact the district had
never owned or operated any canal or
works. The plaintiffs also regard the
procedure as illega.
The complaint further states that
William Forsythe, as collector for the
district, proceeded to advertise for the
sale of the irrigated lands of pltintiffs
for the pretended purpose of securing
in the district taxes enormously as
sessed and levied. The plaintiffs al
lege that this action is illegal and void
and that such illegal assessment con-
stitutes a cloud upon the title of each
Of the plaintiffs on the lands.
The plaintiffs in the action are Jas.

Tale of Orange Blossom.

The wearing of orange blossoms at y
wedding is accounted for In various
ways. Among other stories Is the fol
lowing popular legend from Spain: An
African king presented Spanish king
with magnificent orange tree. whose
creamy. waxy blossoms and wonderful
fragrance excited the admiration of the
whole court. Many begged in vain for
n branch Of the plant and foreign
ambassador was tormented by the de-
sire to introduce so great curiosity
to his native land. He used every DOS.
sible means to accomplish his purpose,
but, all his efforts coming to naught,
he gave up in despair.
The fair daughter of the court gar.
dener was loved by young artisan,
but she lacked the dowry which the
family considered necessary to a bride.
One day. CHANGING to break Off a spra
of orange blossom. the gardener
thoughtlessly gave 1t to his daughter.
Seeing the coveted prize In the rirl's
hair the willy ambassador offered her
sum sufficient for the dowry. pro-
vided she gave him branch and said
nothing about 1t. Her marriage was
soon celebrated. and on her way to
the altar, in grateful remembrance of
the source Of all her happiness, she &C.
cretly broke Off another bit OF the
lucky tree to adorn her hair.
Whether the poor court gardener
lost his head in consequence Of his
daughters treachery the legend does
not relate, but many lands now know
the wonderful tree. and ever since that
wedding day orange blossom has been
considered a fitting adornment for a
bride.

Bald Heads and Disease.

There are advantages sccruing even
from bald heads. 1t Is pointed out BY
a writer In medical journal that bald
headed men never suffer from con-
sumption and that a tendency to bald
ness Is an assurance that the dreaded
scourge will pass over him whose
thatch grows thin.
At first glance 1t would seem absurd
to argue that a mans hair Is indica-
tive Of his immunity from disease, but
the writer who advances this novel
theory declares that in the FIVE years
during which he seriously added a rec
ord of his patients hair or lack Of Il
his case cards have failed to show q
single instance Of bald" being entered
upon the card of consumptlve.
He had under treatment more than
700 cases and he makes the further
statement that In a census of more
than 5000 tuberculosis cases he failed
to discover a single sufferer who was
bald.
He makes no effort to explain his
theory upon medical grounds. but SIM
ply offers the results Of his observe
tons for the benefit Of the profession
and has invited his brother physicians
to write him Of any case Of a bald
headed consumptivs coming under
their observation.
