DEED IN AUDITORS OFFICE
AT SEATTLE.
Railway to Extend North and South
From a Point Near The
DaIIes, Oregon.

A railroad extending south from
and north through the state of Wash
ington to some point in probability on
Puget sound is in contemplation, ac-
cording to a deed filed in the office of
the county auditor this morning is the
way the Seattle Press Times puts it..
The deed is for 100000 and the par
ties to it are the Washington Trust
company of Seattle, and the Great
Southern Railroad company.
In the provisions of the deed all the
properties and rights of the railway
are held in trust by the company, and
the company guarantees $5,OOO,OOO of
negotiable bonds. In return the rail-
way company gives the trust deed.
If the railroad company at any time
fails to pay the bonds when they fail
due the trust company is at liberty to
foreclose on the road. The bonds are
to be for 81 900 each ana will be issued
from time to time as required in the
building of the road. A condition is
made that not more than twenty bonds
can be issued for the building of one
mile of road.
The deed is signed by John Heinrich
as president and julius I. Meier as
secretary Of the railway company, and
by ]. w. elise and M. D. Barnes, rep
resenting the Washington Trust COM
pany. Both Heinrich and Meier are
Portland men.

FOUR WIVES SOUGHT PENSION.
Then Minneapolis, Mimi, Widow Wins
and Then Loses

MINNEAPOLIS, April 15.-Lying on
the desk of H. L. Roetne, special ex-
aminer of pensions, in a huge enve-
lope filled with papers, is a family
skeleton unearthed. These papers will
be filed in the archives of Washington
with similar documents. They bear
witness to the fact that danger lies
in the application for a pension if
there are any facts in the lives of the
applicants which they might wish to
conceal from the world. Armed with
the resources of the United States
government, the special examiners
rarely fail to probe every effort at a
fraud
In the case upon which Mr.. Roethe
has been working the woman who will
suffer is innocent of trying to obtain
money illegally. Mrs. A. G.. BARLEY,
formerly of Minneapolis, has been
drawing a pension since her husband
died in 1885, In filing her petition for
she stated she had no knowledge of mis-
having previously been married. There
| was no evidence to show that he had
and a pension was granted. Not long
afterwards papers were filed by
washerwoman in New Jersey who in
sisted that she was the legal widow of
A. G. Barley. She said that he de-
serted her in the middle years of the
| civil war. She had six children before
the desertion. Before the inquiry was
completed a third widow appear from
| Arkansas, and shortly afterwards an
| other one from New York.
! The idea that there must have been
| two men in the same regiment devel-
opened into the theory that there must
have been four. This was obviously
unlikely, and it was found that the
soldier had scattered his affections
among four wives, every one of them
ignorant of her rivals. AS the Jersey
woman seemed to have the prior claim
the pension went to her and it became
the painful duty of the special exam1-
ners to inform the other wives of the
impossibility of their obtaining help
from the government.

ALICE RIDES A RAcEHORsE
Presidents Daughter Now Owns
Thoroughbred

WASHINGTON, April 15.-Miss
Alice Roosevelt is now the owner of a
thoroughbred racehorse which she
uses for a saddle horse.
Miss Roosevelt has been a constant
attendant at the races at Bennings,
and, being a horsewoman of some re-
pute she naturally admired the horses
at the track. She declared she desired
to purchase one of the thoroughbreds
for a saddle horse, and has looked at
several that were for sale. Miss
Roosevelt is a good judge of horses,
and she was not suited until she was
shown Jessielyn, 4-year-oid mare by
Longford- Miss Jessie. The mare is a
rich bay and a beautiful animal, and
will make a graceful, perfect saddle
horse. The mare was formerly own
ed by James C. Cooley, who disposed
of the animal for $500. The horse
now occupies a box stall at the White
House Stables, and Miss Roosevelt
has already used her mount three or
four times.
Like her father, Miss Roosevelt does
not desire to ride within the city linn
it's, and wnen she feels the need of a
little exercise, she is driven in a car
raige to the suburbs, where her horse
awaits her. She rides across country
and returns to the White House in
her carriage.
Jessielyn has shown plenty of speed
in trials, but has never won a race.

solutely necessary to prevent serious
injury to the sport.
Complaints against dishonest COM
missioners have reached the ears of
-vacing officials. At an informal meet
ing of several gentlemen last week it
was decided to recommend the aboli-
zion of the system.
The experiment will be inaugurated
with the opening of the Aqueduct to-
day. No betting commissioners will
be permitted in the grandstand. Wom-

OH! WICKED, WICKED WOMEN.
New York Jockey Club Says They
Must Not Gamble on Races

NEW YORK, April 15.-Women bet
ting 81 on that horse carrying the
lucky Jockey are to be deprived of flu
ture opportunities for turf speculation.
The Jockey club at it's next meeting
will forbid betting commissioners at all
of the local race tracks to take their
wagers, and in future women desiring
to guess on the ponies will be COM
PEELED to do so through legitimate es-
corts.
The determination of the betting
commissioner will, it is expected, cause
a wave of protest to go up from tnous-
ands of women, who have depended
upon the official messengers furnished
by the racing associations. So much
scandal has been created during the
last year or two by the abuse OF the
system by women themselves and by
messengers that the leading racing
men in the east nave reached the con-
clusion that some radical action is alb

The fact that too frequently 1t tran.

interest themselves to cause a perfect

This work, after a lapse OF forty
years, is now under way by the John

the exact photograph made at Gen
eral Lees residence in Richmond a

picture has always been considered
