Alexandria - Suddenly
Disappears

On charge of trying to buy automo.
o1les and parlor suites with bogus
checks, a dapper little Hebrew with a.
champagne taste who registered at the
Angelus Monday night under the name
of Jacob Loeb, Jr., of New York, and
represented himself as the son of the
New York banker of that name. is
wanted by the police.
Loomis brothers of the Angelus hotel
would be pleased to have a call from
Mr.. Loeb and an explanation as to why
he left without paying his hotel bill.
w. A. Cowan of the Rambler automo-
bile agency would also like an explana-
ton of a worthless check for $265O
drawn on bank in Dallax, Texas, and
rendered to him in payment for a tour
ing car. 1t is believed by the police
that there are other unfortunates who
have exchanged their coin for his
worthless paper and would be glad to
see him again.
Loeb arrived on one of the late trains
from the east Monday night and regis
tered at the Angelus with a party of
prominent eastern people whom he met
on the train.
He was boyish looking fellow, prob
ably 20 years of age, small and dark.
He seemed to have plenty of money and
wanted the best in rooms.
Starts Check Business
Tuesday morning he called at the
desk and asked the clerk to cash
check for $5G. The clerk hesitated
moment, struck by nervous tone in
the mans voice and his evident air of
bravado, and then told him he would
have to see Mr.. Loomis.
"Oh, don't bother at all, If there is
any hesitancy about it. L will go right
across the street to the bank. No,
please don't trouble" said the man Of
money.
A few minutes later he returned to
the hotel, pulled $50 in gold from his
pocket, showed it to the clerk, and
with a laugh said he got it all right
and $500 more besides.
The clerk explained that it was just a
rule of the house, and the man said
no more. The clerk became suspicious
of the man and reported the case to
c. c. Loomis. Later in the afternoon
Mr.. Loomis sent to both banks across
the street and learned that no checks
had been cashed there for Jacob Loeb.
In the meantime a man who gave his
name as NJ. j. Solomon of Marion, Ohio,
appeared at the Rambler agency on
South Broadway and began discussing
automobiles. He said that he had a
prospective purchaser and was going
to bring him around to look at touring
cars.
"Buys" an Automobile
He left and a short time later re-
turned with Jacob Loeb. Mr.. Loeb said
that he was a son of Jacob Loeb. the
New York banker, and wanted some-
thing good-the best in the house. in
fact
He was shown several cars, and
Charles Cowan, a brother of w. X
Cowan, was sent on test trip with
them in a new 1907 model Rambler

EXPOSITION BILL
GOES THROUGH
Senate Passes Measure introduced by
Mr.. Wolfe to Provide $3,o00,o00
for Worlds Fair to Be
Held In 1918
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
SACRAMENTO, Feb. 14.-The Pa
cific Coast exposition, an international
worlds fair to be held in San Fran
cisco in 1913, on the 400th anniversary
of the discovery of the Pacific ocean
by Balboa, was given an actual start
when the senate today unanimously
passed Senator Wolfe's bill making a
state appropriation of $3,000.000 for the
purpose
The money is to be paid in six an
nual payments of 100000 each and
only upon condition that like sum is
raised by the people of the state. 1t Is
also expected that congress will ap-
propriate $3,000,000.
People Favor Exposition
Senator Wolfe made a brief speech
in behalf of the appropriation, stating
that the people of the entire state are
in favor of the exposition and showed
what incalculable benefits California
would receive in the way of advertis-
ing immigration and development. He
declared that the exposition would be
instrumental in adding at least half
a million people to the population of
the state.
The measure tomorrow goes to the
committee on ways and means, which.
II is said, is not faVorably disposed
toward It, The sentiment in the legis-
lature, however, seems to be strongly
in favor of the exposition and Senator
Wolfe Is confident that the assembly
will pass the bill even should the COM
mittee report 1t unfavorably or with
out recommendation.

MIGRATION BILL

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14-While dis
cussing the immigration bill Mr..
Bacon pointed out what he regarded as
the grave danger of the proposition
announced by Mr.. Lodge, that the
only limitation to conference com
mittee was that of combining itself to
the genera, subject when each house
had passed different bills.
Mr. Bacon indicated that he should
later read to the senate the entire
lengthy conference reports which -
was not permitted to read elsewhere.
"There is," he declared, IAN attempt
to destroy the possibility of securing
any immigrants"
"Does the senator refer to the fur
ther restrictions against the importa-
ton of contract laborers?" asked Mr..
Lodge.
"We all know" answered Mr.. Bacon,
"what has brought this report to the
senate We know that a condition of
affairs which in no manner relates to
the injustices to which am referring

A Disabled Queen

THE great naturalist Huber amputated some of the
i antenna, with curious results The queen ran
about the combs, dropped her eggs anywhere and
became quite helpless The workers neglected their
labor, into corners and at length quilted the
hive to return. Thus it is evident that the
antenna the organs of communication, and as
further proof the sentinels may be patrolling
moonlight night with these sensitive feelers put
forth. And should some unhappy moth try to
steal into the habitation, a signal is given and
body of guards rush out to chastise the intruder.
DR.. Franklin once found ants feasting on
molasses. He shook them out and suspended the
pot by string from the ceiling 1t CHANGED that one
ant remained; and after eating its fill this found
its way up the string, crawled to the ceiling and
thence along the wall to its nest In less than half
an hour great company of ants sailed out of their
hole to the ceiling and crept along the string into the
pot. And this was done by others, until the sweet
stuff was all consumed. One file of insects ran up
the string from the moasses, while another passed
down to it. DR.. Franklin inferred, naturally
enough, that the first ant had communicated to it's
comrades the position of the pot, and directed
them to the only accessible road to it.
Confederation is furnished by Jesse, who says that
Nature has undoubtedly given to ants language
of communication by the contact of their antenna.
With these organs they render mutual assistance in
labor and danger, discover lost routes, and make
each other acquainted with their necessities The

exactly like Down, down. down."
The lower orders of animals especially insects,
communicate by signs. The organs employed are
the feelers, as in bees and ants, which, like other
creatures living in society, require medium of
communication. In a well peopled and thriving
hive each bee has its own work-some attend the
young, others make cells. Take away the queen
and in hour the workers appear greatly
agtated They give up their work, and traverse the
hive bewildered Meeting companion route,
they have been mutually to cross their antenne
and each communicates the national loss to its
neghbor by gentle tap with these organs. The

agtaed and the cells crossing and striking
others.
