Why Named Medical Lake.

Medical lake, so called on account
of the remedial virtues of it's waters,
is situated on the great Columbian
plateau in southern Washington, at
an altitude of 1900 feet above the
level of the Pacific. The composition
of it's waters is almost identical with
that of the Dead Sea, and, like it's
oriental counterpart, no plant has
yet been found growing on or near
its edges.

POLICE CAPTURE
MUCH WAN TED MAN
Big Negro Admits He Is in Demand In
Texas and Regrets That He
Was Not Armed When
Caught

Closely following the capture of James
McNulty by Detective Zeigler, Patroiman
Stevens and Detectives Rich and Roperts
have made captures of men wanted IN
other cities that have brought the COM
mendation of their fellow police officers.
The former captured highway ropDer
and the latter a man wanted for seduc-
ton.
Stevens had been shadowing a. negro
for several days whom he Thought was
bad man. Wednesday night he arrest
ed him on suspicion of being William
Mackie, man much wanted in Texas
on a highway robbery charge. AT the
station he gave the name of M. john
name was MaclSie. All day yesterday
kilograms were sent to Waco, Texas
asking for information about the man.
1t was found out that ne ne was Ds Td one OF 59e ne
told Detective Jones when being ques-
toned that If he had been armed when
the officers came after nlm ne WouIo
at his i'll luck in being caught empty
handed and said he never would be
again.
Wanted on Felony Charge
Mackie is big. strong man with very
hard face and voice, that makes one
feel he means it when he says he would
shoot any one trying to arrest him.
Detectives Rich and Roberts, brought
wanted in Georgia for some time on a
felony charge. The police here have been
shadowing him for several weeks and
have been waiting for advices from
Commerce., Ca, before arresting the
man. Rich and Roberts watched him
closely and knew just where to put
their hands on him when he was wanted.
A circular received at the detectives

SLASHED BY RAZOR
Cutting Affair in Grown Street Took Off White Mans
 Collar.

A cutting affray that threatened to be a repetition of the murder enacted rear Childs restaurant in Church street about two years ago, occurred last evening on Crown street just above Church. The victim last night is said to have been a constant com panion of the man who was shot to death on that occasion. Last nights trouble arose over the conversation on by young white man with two young colored women. They were standing talking together across from the rear of the First National bank building, when suddenly there was a scream, and when the foremost of the large crowd which quickly gathered arrived, they found that the young man had had very narrow escape from being beheaded.
 IA negro, believed to have been the husband of one of the women with whom his victim was conversing at the time, suddenly emerged upon the trio and drew sharp razor across his neck. The razor missed the flesh, how ever, and instead of fnjuring the man, cut off the collar of his coat and slit it down the back. The negro then took to his heels and at an early hour this morning had not been arrested, the police stating that they had not had any intelligence of the affair at headquarters. It is thought that the young white man was not injured at all by the assault.

IS RETIRED
Fireman Who Oft Petitioned at Last Obtains His Request
 of Fire Board.

At a special meeting held by the fire commissioners last evening the peti- ton of William Phelps, the ladderman with truck No. 2, who asked again at the meeting of the board on Tues day evening for retirement, was taken up.

 At the meeting last evening it was finally voted to accede to the petition and his name was placed on the re- tired list. He will be given pension at the rate of $450 per annum. Phelps has been with the department for over twenty-five years.
 The board also received a request that a new box be placed at the cor ner of Dixwell avenue and Bassett street

DI9ORCES GRANTED.
Three Yesterday at Ex- parte Session of the Su-
 perior Court.
ONE CASE DISMISSED
Plaintiff Did Not Live Long Enough to Give Court
 Jurisdiction.

Three was the sum total of divorces granted at the ex-parte session in the superior court before Judge Gager yes- terday afternoon. Five cases came up but in one the court found it did not have Jurisdiction and in the other Judge Gager took the papers and re- served his decision because he wished to look over exhibits rendered in the case before deciding.
 The first case up concerned Assyrlans It was the action of Nicholas c. Sade- ka against Annie Sadeka and was grought on the allegation of assertion. The couple were married June 3, 19OO and the plaintiff claimed that his wife deserted him on Dec, l. 1903. The decree was granted.
 Tn Elizabeth L., Lathrop against Ed win Lathrop, desertion being alleged, the only witness was the plaintiff her. self but she presented evidence in the form of written documents which the judge took, reserving decision until he had looked these over The couple were married in November, 1880, and the desertion dates from June "A, 1903. The husband, according to the evidence of the complainant was more than thir- ty years the senior of the. wife.
 The third came up was that of Fred erick w. Hathaway of Derby against Gertrude M. Hathaway of Springfield. Again desertion was the charge. They were married Oct 2S, 1902, and the de- sertion alleged dated from Dec. 2b, 1903. In the process of examination of the plaintiff it was brought out that he had i not resided in this state for three years iprior to bringing the suit and under the statute in this case the court could not hear the case. Judge Gager there fore dismissed the action without prejudice" because of lack of jurisdic- ton.
 The action brought by Dr. Fred Wal lace of this city against his wife, May Augur Wallace on statutory grounds, was next taken up They were married in 1908 The decree was granted.
 The last action of the session was that of Johanna Gussman against Will liam Gussman. the allegation again be- ing desertion. They were married April 23 1896, and the assertion alleged dates from Feb. 5, 1904 The decree was granted.

ASTOHOME MISSIONS Addresses Made at Recep- tion for Business Men at
 United Church Chapel. PROF. STEINER LOST Other Speakers Rev. Truman o. Douglass, D. D., of Iowa,
 and Willis Lougee.

A reception for the business men was held at the United church chapel last night, at which addresses were made for the Home Missionary society by Professor Edward A. Steiner of Iowa; Rev. Truman o. Douglass, D. D., of Iowa, and Willis Lougee, who was formerly engaged in active Y M. c. A. work and who is now associated with the home missions.
 Professor Steiner had some little trouble in getting to the meeting, not arriving until nearly 9 o'clock. He said that he had been unable to find the chapel, thinking that the meeting was to be held in either the United or the Center church. He had even gone so far, he said, as to climb over the fence into the little graveyard in the rear of Center church in an endeavor to get into the crypt
 In the chapel were assembled many of his old friends and his half hour address on home missions in which he compared the immigrants to Pilgrims and Puritans was very interesting.
 Mir. Lougee attacked the method used in divinity schools of the present day in giving courses in moslem juris-pru- dence and in the dead languages, ra- ther than in teaching modern languages with which the people coming to this country may bc reached for the good of Christianity.
 Rev Truman o. Douglass deplored the fact that the Congregationalists had been so broad minded as to tell their parishioners when they left New Eng land to connect with whatever church was beyond the Hudson river, rather than form churches of their own.
 Following the addresses refreshments were served by the ladies of the church The chairman of the evening was Rev | Watson L. Phillips of the Church of the | Redeemer.

DEAN ROGERS
 CANNOT SERVE Corporation Counselship is rendered Him but Char ter Provision Stands
 in Way.
RESIDE IN
 STATE TEN YEARS
Head of Yale Law School Has Been Here Less Than That
 Period and So is
 Not Eligible. \

The important appointment of a cor poSation counsel under the new ad- ministration still holds up the an- nouncement of the list of appointees under Mayor-elect Martin and new phase which has just developed in this regard has made the appointment to that office matter of utter specula- tion again The offer of appointment to the office has been made by Mr Martin himself to Dean Henry Wade Rogers of the Yale Law school, whom fhe regards as an ideal appointee for the place and letter from the mayor elect earnestly asking him to fill that important position under his admin istration was sent to MT. Rogers. Now to upset all this careful arrangement charter specification comes in and puts everything at sea again.
 This is the trouble The charter specifically requires in its list of the qualifications of the man who shall be corporation counsel of New Haven that he must have been resident of the city for five years at least and the  most important stumbling block in this case is that he must have been an att torney and counselor at law in this state for at least ten years. Inasmuch as Dean Rogers, who came to Yale af- ter being president of Northwestern university to become dean of the local law school, has not been in the state for ten years, he fails to fulflll the charter requirements and cannot re- ceive the appointment.
 Who can be substituted for him, is the cry now, And on this Martin and his advisers, it seems, have not yet been able to reach a conclusion.
 In consequence of the upset of this appointment the entire list which has been awaited so long has been and is still being held up.
 It Is stated on the best of authority that Mir. Avis name Is not considered in the appointment to the office of dl- rector of public works.

SOLVES THE TANGLE
Presentation of President Had ley and Professor Scho-
 field to the Emperor.

Washington, Nov. S.-Information has been received here from Berlin of the solution of the tangle over the presen- tation at the German court of Pro- lessor Hadley, president Of Yale, and Professor Scholeld of the Harvard un- iversity. The custom Of having the pre- sentations made by the ambassador of the countries to which the visitors be- longed could not be followed in this case as Professor Schoheld is a Can adian by birth, although he represents President Roosevelt in the exchange of lectures between American and Ger many. To get around these complica- tions, arrangements have been made for the presentation of both professors by the German minister of education, instead of by the American and British ambassadors to Berlin.
