SHE MADE LOVE
TO MEN OF LETTERS
A Former Las Vegas Reporter Made Mistake Of
Replying to One of Her Letters and She Came
to See Him.

Mrs. Howard f. Huntington" as
her name stands on the register of the
Palace hotel, at San Francisco, has
been identified by Louis j. Stellman,
q local newspaper and magazine writ
er, as an eccentric female who used to
lombard the literati of Southern Cali
fornia with anonymous and amatory
epistles to which she signed White
Rose THE Saucy Little Baggage"
and other pseudonyms.
NEARLY five years ago says Stell-
man, when | was doing a signed de-
partment for a Los Angeles paper,
is her real name-began writing queer
letters to me. She began by
sending me a Christmas gift of two
silk crocheted dollies of exquisite
\ workmanship. These came by mail in
a long envelope and attached to them
was a slip of paper saying: Merry
Christmas, from White Rose | didn't
pay much attention to this, but begin
ming with a New Year, a constant
stream of letters came from her. most
OF them in a morose vein. In one she
said: You have a hypnotic influence
over me, but please do not exercise 1t
any more, for, though the sensation Is
delightful, l do not think it is good for
me. You do not write to me, but
thank you for the morning thoughts
II wrote her briefly, telling her
these letters must cease. She wrote
one more very re%proachful n and
then stopped.
"A young friend of mine who also
wrote for the papers, made the mis-.
take of replying to her letters and

Crandall sent a representative after
him to make an offer of marriage, in
GLIDING certain settlements which
were to form part of the contract,
The ambassador returned unsuccess

tered by this rebuff, packed a few be
lodgings into a suitcase and went by
first train to plead her own cause,

friend had to threaten her with arrest
before she would leave him.

OF New Mexico. spent yesterday in
Tucson, visiting his friend, Attorney
Orfila,
Mr., i.arrazolo IL on 'iis return to Las
Vegas, from Solomonyille. where he
has been on important legal business
involving u damage suit against the
Arizona Copper company, limited,
IL will he remembered about two
years ago there was n very severe
flood at Clifton ,as a result Of which
a number Of lives were lost, One OF
these was a daughter Of u Spanish cit
lien named Francisco Norte. The
tnther Of the girl retained Mr., Larraao.
10 TO begin suit against the Arizona
Copper company, holding that they
we've responsible, inasmuch AZ by GER
tain work OF the company, the natural
course of the flow Of the water had
been diverted.
So when the floods came, "A large
destruction OF life and property was
caused, by the inability Of the water
TO flow through its natural channels.
Mr.. Larrazolo was a democratic a I.
didate four years ago for delegate to
congress, and made 4 very strong run
against Bernard s. Rodey.
Speaking on the question Of state.
hood, he says, that he believes 1t Is
to Ire the well defined and settled pol.
icy of the republican party. to force
Joint statehood legislation for Arizona
and New Mexico through the coming
session of congress. He believes that
the managers Of the scheme have their
plans SO we'll laid, that joint state
hood is almost a certainty.
In reply to a question how he stood
upon the question. Mr.. Larrazolo re
piled. that naturally he would be in
favor OF single statehood, II such was
obtainable, but rather than to remain
in territorial vassalage for an indefi.
mite period, he was in favor Of Arizona
and New Mexico being admitted as
one state"

but at least forty were injured, several
seemingly mortally. and the whole sys,
tenn was blocked for hours.
All that part of the city was in a
frenzy Of excitement. largely through re-
ports that men and women still living
were buried in the wreckage. and when
shortly before IL o'clock, Knapp's body
at last was taken from Il smashed car
Of the New Haven train, mob thou

station made demonstration it reQuir-
ed the reserves from two police stations
to suppress. One train was raked by the
other until most of its cars were shred
ded like carded wool. The other escaped
with slight damage to it's locomotive.
On the face of il, The disaster would not
have occurred II a signal said TO be set
for croSS-over had resulted in the
stoppage of the Central train.

Run Cost $50.

The going last night was rather cold
for the drivers OF the automobile which

The machine was ordered of Pennsyl-
vania avenue, and a general order has
been issued by Major Sylvester 10 al
the precincts to watch out for the ma
chine and to arrest the chauffeur IN
charge If there is any violation OF the
speed Law
So much time was lost yesterday after
the troubles of the night before that
the men were compelled to find another
route on which to continue the run II
was decided by Julian, who is in charge
OF the real work connected with the
view OF the fact that the police force of
the city was on the lookout for them,
would be to keep the minions Of the law
guessing, and not to take any particular
route, but follow their fieeting fancies,
fitting htther and thither and any
where except where the cops might De.
Last night the men selected the eoun-
try roads about the city and a great
part of the lost time was made uo. To-
day and tomorrow they will choose
at some time between 10 and II O'Clock
Julian SAYS they should finish
No trouble has been had with the en-
gine. in fact the drivers all said this
morning that the machine is runnin-
easier than II did at the start A boil
slipped in the run last evening but II
was easily fixed. and beyond this little
difficulty things have been going
smoothly for them except what incon-
veniences they have had with the DO
lice. The little affair of yesterday cost

Cold weather has stopped active sport
at the Brightwood driving track but
the enthusiasm of the members has not
been chilled.
Ambitious plans are afoot for Bright
woods dates in the Maryland and Vir-
ginia racing circuit next year The
horsemen who attended the races this
year We're so much pleased and were so
unanimous In expressing an intention to
return that 1t is prophesied Brightwood
Will next season furnish the greatest
harness racing ever seen In the District.
Secretary Hadield is in correspondence
with the leading owners who race In this
section and the answers have been most
encouraging.
One departure will be the Offering of
three stakes of 81. 900 each at the fall
meeting. which will place the Washing
ton track on the same level of attract
lVeneSs for big stables as the gentle
mems Driving Park. Electric Park. and
prospect Park in Baltimore. The Oner-
ing of these stakes is the most Dre-
tentious effort District horsemen have
made in many moons. but they were so
successful this year that they will not
admit that disappointment Is possible
A few additional stalls will be built
next spring and further improvements
made upon the granGstand.

WASHINGTON, Pa, Dec. 2o-The
fact that dogs have fieas last night
created one OF the biggest contests in

Alexander Reed jumped 10 his feet
with:

rurance of representatives Of the Ken
