CASSINI CANINE
HAS BEEN STOLEN
Russian Countess MayNeVer
Recover WOlfhOund Civ
en- Her by Gar.

Countess Cassini. niece OF the former
Russian ambassador TO the United
States, may never again see one Of her
highly priced dogs. the aristocratic
Russian wolf hound that is said TO have
been a gift TO the young countess from
the Car. The dog was stolen last
Tuesday from in front Of the home Of
DIR. D. z. Buckingham. 1904 Fourteenth
street northwest Dr. Buckingham 5
little girl had the dog out front and a
colored man took IL from her forcibly-
and made good hts escape. DR.. Buck
ingham has advertised for the dog and
the local detective department is hot on
the trail Of the thief.
When Countess Cassini left Washing
ton some months ago she intrusted the
wolf hound to one Of her friends until
the household OF the Russian ambassa-
dor should be permanently installed in
Madrid. whren she intended sending for
her pet.
Last February the dog either strayed
away from the home OF the countess
friend or was stolen. However. several
boys had the dog near DIT. Bucking-
hams home and the doctor recogniz-
ing the coat-of-arms and the name of
Countess Cassini on the collar immedi-
ately took possession Of the dog, Civ
ing the boys SO for Il. He has taken
care of the canine from that time until
the animal was stolen Tuesday.
II is said that the wolf hound is val
ued at 1000.

STATEHOOD PLAN

President Roosevelt and Senator Bev-
eridge had a conference today about
Statehood legislation, and it has been
decided that Statehood for Oklahoma
and Indian Territory will go through
Congress at this session as a rider TO
the appropriation bill.
This plan has been developed by Sen
ator Beveridge solely because OF the
absolute failure of the House and Sen
ate conferees TO agree on the bill. II
IS believed that this plan viii force the
House 10 recede from Its hostile posi-
ton. The President has agreed
70 this poiicy simply because II seems
to be the only way. although he would
like very much 70 see New Mexico and
Arizona admitted also.

Statehood was at the front in both
Houses of Congress this morning. on
the Senate side the conferees met at
Senator Beveridge's committee room and
were in session for long time, although
they failed - report the bill out. as had
been expected 1t was understood at
the close Of the meeting that they were
practically in agreement and that a re-
port would surely be made tomorrow
On House side as soon as the session
opened John Sharp Williams. the minor
ity leader, proceeded 10 tighten the
screws on his hlibuster. On Saturday
he was presented petition by the Dem
