YOUTH SWALLOWS
POISON AND DIES
BY Associated Press.

SAN DIEGO, May 27.-This morning
the dead body of Will Adams, the 18-
year-old son of John Adams, a well
known resident of Valley Center, was
found near the home of John Walsh, in
whose employment the lad had been for
the past three months.
From all the evidence at hand it ap-
pears that young Adams left the Walsh
home last evening about o'clock. He
went out to a near by barn and there
drank good sized dose of strychnine,
death probably resulting in a short
time.
What induced him to take the poison
is not known. He was known as boy
of good habits.

FORCONCRESSMEN
PROF. JAMES WOULD SEND
THEM TO SCHOOL
Well Known Illinois Educator Ad-
dresses Letter to WashlngtonIans
Outlining His Views Of Inn
portant Undertaking
Special Correspondence of The Herald

Special Correspondence of The Herald.
WASHINGTON, May 22.-"Send con-
gress to school," practically is the bur-
den of a remarkable letter written by
Prof. Edmund ]. James, president of the
University of Illinois, indorsing the eff
fort being made to establish national
university in Washington.
The letter was addressed to the trus-
tees of the George Washington univer-
sity, who are working to the end that
their institution may fill this niche,
thus carrying out the wishes of the
first president of the United States as
contained in his last will. Prof James
believes that the presence of univer-
sity here would work immense good in
the publication of national politics.
In addition, the Illinois educator sees
in such an institution of learning q
means for the upbuilding of a trained
and efficient consular service, thus rails
ing the prestige of the United States
abroad and insuring this country even
greater measure of the worlds trade.
The George Washington university
established a department of this kind in
June, 1898, which was formally opened
in November of that year. 1t is known
as the department of politics and diplo-
macy, and a number of its graduates
are already holding important positions
abroad under the government.
With reference to the effect of ma
tional university upon congress, Prof.
James says:
Another great advantage of such
school as this, located in the capital,
would be its powerful influence on con-
gress as a whole in the direction of
scientific treatment of all political and
economic questions. Such a school, with
a faculty consisting of able experts in
all the different lines of government
policy and administration, would in
evitably exert an immediate and helpful
influence upon the country and upon
the attitude of our congressman and our
government as a whole.
washington is the natural place for
such a center of scientific investigation.
There also, is the center from
which the most important influences
may be most Immediately exerted upon
politicians and statesmen alike and
raise the level of their thinking and
their action"

DeIinquents Finally Arrive

At the latter hour the delinquents
came into court with their attorneys as
sureties and gave bail.
1t may be stated by authority that
the grand jury has in mind the return
ing of at least one hundred more
counts against men who have been al
ready indicted.
The statement of the prosecution is
that in the several alleged briberies of
the supervisorial body by officials of
public service corporations every one
of the eighteen supervisors and the
mayor himself were corrupted. Thus
far the grand jury has returned counts
charging the bribery of only some of
the supervisors, and not of the mayor
at all.
The trial of Louis Glass and Theo-
dore v. Halsey has been set for June
H.. At that time more than twenty
five witnesses, including the eighteen
supervisors and Ruef, will be present
to testify for the state.

COLD STORAGE PLANT.
One is Needed for Benefit of Farmers
to Hold Apples.

Several years ago some agitation was
given to the question of building a cold
storage plant for the purpose OF hold
ing apples for a better market. The
matter was being furthered by one of
the leading farmers in the town, but
for lack of one thing or another the
mater died trying to be born.
eff we had Il cold storage plant in
this vicinity the farmers would be able
to hold their apples for late market
and get better prices, more than
enough to offset the expense of cold
storage" said a man the other day,
who knows about such things. Con-
tinuing: Here we are in the midst of
an apple producing territory, with
every new year seeing an increase in
the orchard of new trees. What would
a cold storage plant mean to the farm
er? I wish the Winthrop farmers
would discuss this question more"
How many barrels of apples are
raised within "a radius of six miles?"
was asked
ooh, 1 can't tell. because have new
er figured it out. but it is a good many
hundred barrels. l hope this matter
will be talked up and steps taken to

MISSING BOY FOUND
Deputy Sheriff Yeaton Asked to Find
Absent Boy for Mother.

"Will you find my boy for me?" The
above request was what greeted Depu-
ty Sheriff Yeaton's ears soon after re-
Ceiying his commission and qualifying.
He was at a social gathering and
during the evening a knock was heard
at the door. tThe caller was lady who
lives Just outside the village limits and
wanted the aid of the sheriff in lOcat
ing her boy who had been missing for
nearly a week, and was supposed to be
at a friends house in another part of
the town. on inquiry it was learned
that he had not been there. and the
mother was nearly distracted.
Sheriff Ye2ton promised to make in
quiries rs far as he could to locate her
missing child and the woman left, hop
ing that the new sheriff would bring
his detective qualifications into quick
play.
ON returning to his friends he told
them of the request of the lady and
after some joking by others as to his
ability to work out the case. one of his
companions Immediately spoke up and
said: q know where the boy is" All
eyes were turned on the speaker and
ears were opened, for the case appear
ed to be in q fair way to be settled
right then and there. without the depu-
ty even leaving the room.
It seems that the boy started one
morning from home and as a driver Of
one Of the cream teams was going his
rounds. he met the boy in Readfield.
The boy had a gun over his shoulder
and the man, knowing who the boy
was asked him where he was going.
The boy was little backward about
telling the man where he was bound
for hut finally gave out that he was
going to Rome to visit relatives.
Sheriff Ycaton, after hearing the
facts, telephoned to the boys mother
what he had learned and her anxiety
was over. as she at once said the boy
was apparently all right with people
she knew.
Thus ended the first case Of Mr.. Yea
ton in the capacity Of deputy sheriff.
