LOVE CAUSES YOUTH TO
BECOME AN ENGllSHMAN
BY Associated Press

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 24-In the hope
of winning the girl of his choice, Her
bert M. Hamersly of 72 Riverside drive
has decided to renounce his United
States citizenship and become sub
iect of Great Britain. He will sail for
London next month with the avowed
purpose of pressing his suit for the
hand of Miss Zealand Haverman'
daughter of Jacob L. Haverman,
wealthy retired coal and coke operator
of Pittsburg, who now lives with his
wife in London.
Mr.. Hamersly is himself wealthy, he
says. His own appraisment of his
wealth is $s5O,0O0. But it has availed
him little in his wooing Of Miss Haver-
man.
There are many obstacles in Hamers-
ly's path. One is a rival for the hand
of the girl, a New York physician, who
is already in London. Another is par
entail objection of a very emphatic
nature. Mr.. Haverman has vowed
that his daughter shall remain single
always rather than marry Mr.. Hamers-
ly. The mother shares this sentiment
But the girl has held out ray OF
hope, and it is quite sufficient to lead
Mr.. Hamersly to bid farewell to the
shores of his native land and go tc
dwell in England.

CONSCIENCE MONEY IS
MAILED TO MILLIONAIRE
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
MARI.TETTE, Wis, May 24-Some-
body seems determined that Isaac
Stephenson, the millionaire lumberman,
shall receive certain sums of money
without knowing from whom they
come.
About a year ago Mr. Stephenson re-
ceived in an envelope bearing Memo
minee, Mich, date, the sum of $3.50,
with not the scratch of pen to indi-
cate the sender or the purpose to which
the money was to be devoted. Re-
Gently he received another letter, bear
ing the same postmark and apparently
addressed in the same handwriting. In
it was a crisp new $5 bill, and again
not line of writing. The handwriting
on the envelope seems to indicate that
the writer is a we'll. educated person.
Mr.. Stephenson says that he has not
the slightest knowledge Of the identity
of his mysterious correspondent, nor
for what reason the money is sent. 1t
is generally believed by those who
know of the incidents that the money is
being sent by some one whose con-
science is troubling him.

COUNT OF VOTES
CHANGES RESULT
SANTA CLARA SHERIFF MUST
GIVE UP OFFICE
Superior Judge Welsh Decides That
Arthur 3. Langford Is Legally
Elected--court's POSI-
tion Defined.
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN JOSE. May 24.-In a lengthy
opinion taking over an hour in its de-
livery Superior Judge Welsh decided
that Arthur B. Langford is the lega
sheriff of Santa Clara county
The official returns last November
gave the then sheriff, Frank III. Ross,
5906 votes and Langford 62l7 votes
Ross contested the election and the re-
count gave Ross COLO votes and Lang
ford only 1898. Ross gains were all in
sixteen precincts.
..As these unusual gains" says the
court, developed during the contest
independently of the rulings OF the
court, it was patent to every one that
there had been a miscount OF the votes
for sheriff by the election boards IN
these sixteen precincts or else the paI-
lots had been fraudulently changed
since the several boards had completed
their counts. And again, IL the boards
had miscounted they had done so either
by mistake or fraudulently."
Judge Welsh holds that there had
been no accidental or deliberate mis-
count by the election boards and con-
cludes that the ballots were tampered
with after the official count and
while in the vault of the court house.
The court concludes:
j. That the time ana pIdce ulu hoI
afford the opportunity to a tamperer
or tamperors in the hall of justice dur
ing the noon hours Wednesday. Thurs
day and Friday of the week of the
Campbell Free contest, to examine over
1000 ballots and change nearly 400 OF
them.
2. That the tampering was not done
in the upper vault nor in the clerks
office.
9. That all the facts and circum-
stances based on the truth of the evil
dence given in this case point to the
commission of the crime on the night of
Wednesday or Thursday or Friday of
the Campbell Free contest, or on all of
these three nights, and that the place
of the tampering was within the outer
room Of the lower vault where the tam
perer had good gaslight, tables, cleo
tion stamps and ink pads, the ballots
of the sixteen precincts, together with
the unusued ballots for substitution If
necessary, and withal the seclusion and
leisure to accomplish the act
"As to who the criminal or crtmi-
nails may be this court, in this civil
proceeding, does not know. 1t belongs
to another forum to investigate and as
certain that fact"

SCIENTISTS FORM
TRUST At CAPITAL
SMITHSONIAN IS NEW IDEA
CLEARING HOUSE
National Associations Will Deposit
Archives in institution for Future
Study and centraIize
Work

Special to The Herald.
WASHINGTON, May 24.-Although
the railroad trust, the beef combine
and the Standard Oil trust have been
and are under severe fire by the gov
ernment, new trust has been formed
at the national capital that will have
not only the hearty Endorsement, but
the active support of the administra-
ton. This is the science trust.
Secretary Charles ID. Walcott of the
Smithsonian institution has copied
modern methods of high finance, and
the institution hereafter will be the
clearing house for the diffusion of
scientific knowledge.
With one bold stroke Secretary Wal
colt has amalgamated the National
Academy Of Science and the American
Association for the Advancement OF
Science, and brought them into a close
working partnership with the Smith
sonian institution as their headquar-
ters.
Members of the National Academy of
Science, which held it's convention here
last week. were invited by Secretary
Walcott "to deposit their archives and
records in rooms supplied for the pur-
pose, in the Smithsonian institution,
where the secretary of the academy
can have access to them and attend to
such business as may be necessary in
connection with the affairs of the
academy The secretary of the Amer
lean Association for the Advancement
of Science was extended similar inVi-
tation. 1t has just been announced
| that Arnold Hague and DR.. l.. Q.
Howard, secretaries for the respective
societies, have sent in formal letters of
acceptance.
The gains that will accrue to science
through this consolidation of interests
will be of the greatest value In the
first place the consolidation will CEN
tralize the efforts of scientific men,
bring them closer together in their
chosen lines of work and lend to re-
search that stimulation that comes of
competition. In addition, by having a
fixed headquarters, savants and other
countries will be attracted, and the in
terchange of ideas will result in great
| good.
No better field could be found for the
establishment of this scientific trust.
The government departments offer un-
limited opportunities for investigation
at first hand, while the Army and Navy
Medical museum, the National museum,
the Carnegie institute, the Library of
Congress, the Botonical gardens, and
the various noted and extensive collec-
tions of scientific and medical books,
all will be at the command of the IN
yestigator. This field will be enlarged
within the near future, when the
George washington university attains
the goal it has in view. The uniVer-
| sitv is undertaking a campaign to IN
1 stall itself as the representative seat OF
learning of the United States.

CESSFUL ATTEMPTS IN MANI
TOBA-SOIL PRODUCES
STRIKING RESULTS.

The Winnipeg (Canada) Free Press
of few days since contains account
of the success that followed the eff
forts of William Knowles, an English
man who located near Winnipeg, Man
itoba- This is but one of many let
tiers giving experiences of settlers,
and should be encouraging to those
who are looking about for a new
home in which they may better their
conditions. The following is a copy
of the article referred to:
William Knowles. who cultivates
some twelve acres of land just below
Middlechurch ferry on east side of the
Red River has probably as fine a dis
play of horticultural products as any
in Manitoba The whole of his hold
ing is in high state of cultivation
and literally crowded with splendid
vegetable specimens, which have for
tunately escaped damage by hail, al
though heavy storms have more than
once occurred within few miles. The
potatoes are a wonderful crop, and he
expects to raise 1,500 bushels from
his patch of Az acres. half dozen
of tubers selected yesterday average
more than a pound each. Adjoining
the potatoes may be seen marvellous
collection of tomatoes. There are 500
plants, all growing under an enor-
nous weight of fruit. One single
stock picked yesterday contained
eighteen tomatoes and weighed four
pounds. This extraordinary example
of marvellous growth, together with
some of the potatoes were sent to the
Free Press office.
The proprietor was the first in
town with several specimens, includ-
ing green corn. The season has been
favorable for onions, and one square
patch of nearly an acre is looking re-
markedly healthy. In addition there
are good crops of cabbages, caulif1ow-
er, turnips, parsnips, carrots, pump
kins, marrows, cucumbers, celery, peas,
lettuce, rhubarb, etc. The floral de-
partment has not been neglected and
a charming display of all the well
known blooms were shown, including
specially choice lot of asters.
Mr.. Knowles, who gained most of
his gardening experience in England,
is loud in his praise of Manitoba soil
for vegetable raising, and is gratified
with the result of his first attempt at
extensive horticulture.

New Customs Regulations.

With a view to securing greater
courtesy and dignity in the admins
tration of the customs laws, the treas
ury department has issued a series of
instructions to inspectors, copies of
senger on incoming steamers from for
eign countries. For the purpose of
customs administration, passengers
are divided into non-residents of the
United States and residents. This
classification has no reference to citi-
zenship. Non-residents are of three
classes: actual residents of foreign
countries; persons who have been
abroad with fixed foreign abode for
one year or more, who elect to declare
as non-residents, and persons who
have been abroad for two years, with
or without a fixed place of foreign
abode. who elect to declare as non-resi-
dents. Residents include all others.
There is no limit to the value of arti-
cles which non-residents may bring in
free of duty, explains the Youths Com
panion, provided they are articles ac-
tually accompanying the passenger,
and necessary and appropriate for his
or her use for the purposes of the
journey and present comfort and con-
yeniehce, and not intended for other
persons or for sale. Residents may
bring in all wearing apparel and other
personal effects which they took
abroad with them, if not remodeled
abroad to the value of 800, if the arti-
cles are not for sale. Under the new
regulations passengers are not re-
quired to make oath to their declara-
lions The offer of bride or a 'tip''
to customs officer will continue to be
held as violation of the law
