A peculiar trainload of people will
move across the state OF Washington
from Vancouver to Medical Lake with

1t will consist of three tourist sleep
ers and one baggage car, and the pas
sengers will be eighty-two inmates
of the state school for feeble minded

The school for Predetermined youth
will henceforth be a department of
the Eastern Washington hospital for
the insane. Dr. Anderson, superin-
tendent of the eastern hospital. will
also be superintendent of the school
for feeble minded youth.
The new building for feeble minded
youth at Medical Lake is about three
fourths of a mile from the eastern
insane hospital building, and the in
mates will have the advantage of med

new arrangement.

IS ASSURED OF ANOTHER FOUR YEARS

According to dispatch from Wash
ington, D. c.. B. d. Crocker is assured
of four years more as collector of in
ternal revenue for the district of
Washington. Senator Anl.eny has been
annoyed at the statements printed in
local papers to the effect that Croker
was to retire, and took the only
method possible, it is understood, to
have this talk quietel Under the COM
missions issued the terms of collectors
of customs are indefinite.
One way of beating the devil around
the stump, however, is to have the col
lector's bond renewed, and this is the
method Senator Ankeny followed. He
and Senator Piles called at the White
House Saturday and suggested to the
president that he should order Crock
er's bond renewed for another term,
and this suggestion was approved anG
orders issued accordingly.
Thsi disposes of all the important Of
fees in eastern Washington to which
appointments are allotted to Senator
Ankeny, except the receivership Of the
land office at Spokane. 1t is under
stood that the nomination for that
office will be sent to the senate next
week.

At the opening of the next school
year the blind will occupy the building
at Vancouver which will be vacated
by the feeble minded. The blind are
now in the same building as the deaf
and dumb. The two buildings are
about a mile apart. Professor Clark
will continue as superintendent of both
the blind and the deaf and dumb
schools.
The population of the various state
institutions has increased rapidly in
the last two years. j. H. Davis says
the increase has been from 25 to $50
to the institution. beyond the estimat-
ed population at the end of two years
for which the appropriations were
made. Nevertheless, he says the
board of control has been living within
the appropriations.
Chairman Kincaid says the counties
that considered for a time the working
of Walla Walla convicts on the pub
lie roads are not inclined to try it.
They hesitate to go to the expense
of providing quarters for the cOnvicts.
and then they figure that a convict
will do only from one-fourth to one
half as much work as a free man.
The Walla Walla cOnvicts are now
all employed, he says. Two kiln OF
brick are to be burned soon, and a
new cell house is to be built by the

Guarded With Revolver.

When he came to make his customs
pocket a beautifully jeweled revolver
and carefully put it with the other
contents of the precious jewel case.
1t was not until the French nobleman
put the revolver in the case that it
became known that he had guarded the
little box with a revolver during tie
voyage.
AS the couple walked about the
French liner pier, the little leather
bound case was clutched in the mar
quis' right hand. Both stood watch
over it when Athe customs officials
made an examination Of the contents
and the prying eyes of outsiders were
not permitted to look at the jewels by
the marquis, who shut the case and it's
contents from public view.
Diamonds to the value Of 100000
francs were brought over by NJ.
Drecier, a diamond importer. The col
lection composed the largest single i'm
portation of unset gems, except for TIN
ST Louis exposition, ever made in this
country. The entire lot was sent to
the public stores for appraisement.
Still Other Gems Spied.
Inspector O'Donnell, stimulated by
the large amount of treasure on the
ship, sleuthed about the pier until he
saw a cabin passenger, who later COVE
his name as M. Payen, meet a blonde
woman on the pier, and who opened
their trunks for the customs eNamina-
ton.
The fact that he did not wait for an
official to attend to him aroused the
suspicious of O'Donnell. He drew closer
and caught sight of Payen conveying
| a couple of little tissue paper pack
ages from his trunk to his pocket,
while he talked energetically with the
| woman.
When the inspector examined the
contents Of the packages he found one

MRS. CARTER'S CONTRACT.
Oscar Hammersteip Says the Actress
Made One.

Interest in the marital affairs Of Mrs. Carter
Payne yesterday centred chiefly in the rumOrs
touching her business relations with David Belasco
the manager. 1t said that Mrs. Carter-Payne
had played her last season under Mr.. Belasco and
that Miss Virginia Harmed would be engaged 10
ill her role in the emotional play which Mr.
Belasco has lately completed.
Oscar Hammersten made statement last night
which casts considerable doubt on the credibty
of this story. According to him. Mrs CarterIPayne
signed contract four years ago TO appear in no
New York theatre except the Belasco, at which her
triumphs in "Du Barry and "Adrea'' We're at
tained. This contract still has six years to rum
Mt Hammerstein's interest in the contract. which
is in the possession OF his counsel. is owing his
ownership Of the Belasco Theatre. He said last
night that four years ago. when he leased the the
atre to David Belasco for ten years. he regarded
Mrs. Carter the chief drawing card controlled
by Mr.. Belasco. As his lease was on a percentage
basis. he demanded contract providing for the ap-
pearance OF Mrs. Carter at the theatre during the
period OF Mr.. Beasco's tenancy. Mrs. Carter's ap-
pearance at the Academy OF Music last spring was
the result of a special agreement. Mr. Hammersteln
says
The rumors regarding a dispute between Mr.. Be
lasco and Mrs. Garter-Payne were very circumstan-
tial, and very generally credited until Mr..
Hammerstein's statement appeared. Il is known
that the actress quarreed last winter with Charles
Stevenson. her leading man. and It said yes
terday thas the of this quarrel was Mr.
Stevensons refusal to join her in leaving Mr.. Be
lasco. no confirmation Of this report could be
had.
Mr.. BeIasco spent the day In Asbury Park where
ne denied himself all callers az his cottage. on
the plea OF sickness. Mrs. Belasco would take no
message to him, and refused either 70 confirm or
deny the reported rupture.
Miss Virginia Harmed. who was said TO have been
chosen as Mrs. Carter-Payne's successor Is in Eu-
rope She under contract with the Shlberts. and
though no official statement could be obtained at
their offices yesterday, IT regarded as unlikely
that she would be released TO Mr. Belascos tn spite
of the friendly relations between these managers,
who are engaged in a mutual war on the theatrical
trust.
Mr. Payne, the new benedict Is under contract TO
Charles Frohman, one OF the leading menbers OF
the so-called theatrical trust. and this fact was
mentioned yesterday as having q poss.nle bearing
