WIDOW OF PRESCOTT MINER LOSES SECOND SPOUSE.
(From Sundays Daily.)

Another tale of marital infclicity in which the residents of this section will take interest, as one of the principals formerly lived here. is brought into the limclight of publicity by story ap- bearing in the Los Angeles Examiner of Friday, which says:
 Dr. William Thompson, street fakir successful suitor of rich widow, alleged extortcr of money from his wife, alleged "kitern of checks, former inmate of the county jail, crstwhile .epen'ant husband, then nbsconding spouse, cs' corted by an officer of the law, will re- turn to Los Angeles this morning and will resume his residence at ihc county jail.
 The wife who hns $250,000, and who provided $3OO0 bail to end his former incarceration, this time will let the law take it's course. Wednesday night he sent his wife np the Angels Fight, caught passing ear and left the city, taking her valuable jewels with him. He was arrested at Bakersfield.
 The sheriff's deputies working on the case say they have information that Dr. Thompson has no less than five other wives in various parts of tho country. Mrs. Thompson told Presi dent David Evans of the Bank of Venice that she had letter giving positive evidence that her husband had married and deserted in Denver n wo man known as Mrs. Ella Thompson.
 After having him arrested on th' charge of extortion and then furnish ing s3O0O in bail to release him, sh' says that the trick by which he elude' her and tried to get away, removed al affection or consideration she had fo him.
 She wants him sent to the pcniten tiary.
 She is reluctant to believe the poly gamy charges.

Ambassador Wright.

General Luke Wright has started for
Japan, and maybe there will be revival of
the story, with fresh details added. of
the sale of the Philippines to that country.
Some of the tallest yarns originate, or are
embellished in the orient, and this yarn has
already received some attention. 1t caused
much uneasiness in the Philippines, but
probably not more than would have fol-
lowed a report connecting Germany. or
France or Great Britain with such trans
action. Which but shows that the Filipinos
prefer the flag of the United States to that
of any other country. Even those of the
people who cherish the hope OF flag of
their own realize how greatly they are in
debted to the stars and stripes. There need
be no worry there or elsewhere on this
score. The United States has no thought
of retiring at this time or any time soon,
by sale, or scuttle. or any other means

A Supreme Court Building.

If the Senate committees bill for taking
the western edge of the mail-avenue tri-
angle for group of department buildings
IS enacted and provision Is thus made for
housing the Department OF Justice In one
OF the structures there will remain for
early consideration the project of giving
the Supreme Court an appropriate housing
For long time the general expectation has
been that the land lying north OF East
Capitol street and corresponding to the LII
brary of Congress site would be devoted
10 such a purpose. From time to time the
matter has been preached and the PROPOSE
ton has been made to include In the ssruc-
ture the Department OF Justice, thus hous-
ing together the court and the executive
branch most closely associated with It.
There are urgent reasons for such a part
nership In tenancy. just as there Is some
reason for the establishment OF the De-
partment of Justice close to the White
House. 1t is for the administrative officials
and Congress TO determine whether the
public interests would be best conserved by
the one or the other empiacement-
But whatever Is done for the Department
of Justice. the Supreme Court should not be
longer neglected The present quarters as
signed to that great court are ridicuiously
small. The court room itself Is not of sum-
Gent size. and there is n preposterous lack
of room for Justices rooms. for eonsuta-
zion rooms, for the library and for the

Offices of the court officials. The whole ar
rangement at present suggests makeshiff
far beneath the dignity Of the court
There need be no fear of ability to I'LL
economically a building sufficiently large
to fit into the site corresponding to that on
which the library stands. Even II the De-
partment of Justice is not included, there
should be room in the structure Tor the
Court of Claims. possibly for the District
Court of Appeals, and for such judicial OF
semi judicial bodies as may occasionally
be organized by the government. for perma-
nent or temporary purposes. Given the
quarters. there will be no lack OF tenants
Those who own property lying within the
bounds of the site thus marked on In the
public mind as suitable. II not necessary,
for a public building, are entitled to some
assurance by the government of its pur-
pose In the premises. For years their ianos
have lain under blight. They have been
unable to market them and they have not
dared to improve them on proper scale
The moment the Library OF Congress was
assigned the site to the south of the divid-
ing street these lands on the northern side
were placed under the ban, for 1t has been
confidently expected that sooner or later
Congress would square out the Capitol
Park approach on the east This expecta-
ton has been heightened by the acquisition
of the two blocks on which are now arising
the House and Senate office buildings. The
plight of the owners of the properties left
between the completed and progressing I'M
provements has become more difficult 1t
is due to them that an early declaration be
r1ade by the houses, even though the con-
struction of the building is not Immediately

Millions for Relief.

The San Francisco relief fund swells
hourly as reports are received from cities
and organizations. The latest estimate Is
that fully $4,000 600 has been contributed
In money goods and services to date. max
ing the largest charity donation ever Of
fered by the people of this or any other
country In the same space of time. Indeed,
1t is probable that the relief wave will
mount In this case to the highest point ever
known In the history of the world.
There was never before disaster which
appealed so eloquently to the generous i'm.
pulses of the people. An entire city of 400.
600 people was within few hours reduced
to wreckage and ashes In an incredibly
brief period vast community was rendered
homeless. The entire business center was
destroyed. Miles OF residences were wiped
out OF existence. Rich and poor alike were
forced to flee for their lives 10 the parks.
The water supply failed and the food stores
were gone. Never was large a number
of American people reduced to so desperate
plight In the same length Of time.

people Of this country. impulsfve. prompt

We probably narrowly missed Father Ga
pom. The wonder is that somebody did not
think to bring him over and exploit him
while his reputation was high He, how
ever, went to Paris. and later to Monte
Carlo. where he ''bucked the tiger" When
charged with the act he replied naively that
he had won. His idea evidently was that as
he had not lost at play any of the good
money intrusted to him for the cause no
harm had been done. Now that his death Is
reported 1t is mentioned that he had a COM

he was a Russian in sympathy with the GUS
toms of the country.
Like master. like man. What are the Ga
