Commissioners about reckless driving oil
automobiles hv yv,iunrc

automobiles by minors.
LIE Roy Mark, secretary of the Wash
ington Automobile Club. recently wrote a
letter to Maj. Sylvester. superintendent
OF police. calling attention to the advis-
ability of increasing the age limit for op-
orators of automobiles. He said that
within the past month he has been nearly
run over on two different occasions by
youths driving cars, because of their in
ability to control the cars they were driv-
ing.
The present age limit is sixteen years
although this does not apply to persons
employed by recognized garages and au-
tomobile companies. Maj. Sylvester re-
ported to Commissioner West today that
he is informed that many of the leading
business men who are operators of auto
mobiles agree that the age limit should be
increased. Some think twenty years
should be the limit. while the majority
think eighteen years.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. April 30.-The body of
c. B. Warkenton. who was the leading
citizen of Newton. Kan. and known
throughout the country as 1.-The father
of hard wheat" arrived on board the
Koenig Albert Of the North German Lloyd

tally shot and killed by a prince in Tur-
KY April 1. while travelling with his
wife.
The body was in charge of the widow
and her son. Carl Warkenton. and it
was taken on the way to Newton, Kan,
for burial there in a costly mausoleum.
which Mr. Warkenton had built for him.
self only last year. when he was in
fuenced by a premonition that ne would
soon die.
Mr.. Warkenton, had a remarkable ca
reer: He was born in Crimea, Russia,
of German parents. and in 1872. when
the Russian agreement to protect the
Germans residing there had expired
with number of others he CGme to
this country. The emigrants brought
with them a quantity OF the hard wheat
which is grown in Russia.
They settled on some farming land in
Kansas and planted the Russian wheat.
The soil was favorable to 1t and the
wheat grew abundantly. 1t was sought
after throughout the entire country. and
Mr.. Warkenton. along with the other emf
grants who had settled near him. became
very we'll to do.
Last year he retired from active work
and planned a trip through Russia and
the east.
I may never come back" he told his
wife. $50 / will have my grave all pre-
pared
Built His Tomb q Year Ago.
He built. handsome mausoleum in the
cemetery near Newton. and last winter
he sailed with his wife for France. At
that time he was sixty years old.
In March last Mr.. Warkenton and his
wife took the train from Damascus to go
to Beirut. In the compartment next to
them was a Turkish prince. The prince
was going on hunting trip and carried
a new gun. the si:t of an American.
The prince was playing with the weapon
when IL was suddenly discharged. The
bullet went through the compartment
the abdomen.
He died shortly afterward. Mrs. War
kenton did everything In her power to
find out the name of the prince. but she
was unsuccessful. She telegraphed her
son, and ne met her at Constantinople.
She had considerable difficulty in getting
the proper passports for the removal of
the body. and appealed to the American
minister, Mr.. Leishman.
Leishman Acted Indi6erently.
The minister. according to the son. did
not give them much assistance
He had the nerve to ask my mother to
go to the embassy to get the passports"
said Mr.. Warkenton today. More than
that, he told her 1t would be impossible
for the prince who did the shooting to be
punished. and advised her to say nothing
more about it,.
At the pier today to meet the party was
". L. Berger. a lawyer Of Kansas City.
We are not through with Mr.. Leishman
yet. said Mr.. Berger. Complaint will
be lodged against him at Washington

CLAIM FLAGSTAFF
 MAN |s A F0RGER
JOHN sKAGGs ARRESTED AT TUG SON AND TAKEN TO BENSON TO ANSWER CHARGES ALSO WANTED AT WACO.

TUCSON, February l4.-Deputy Sheriff Tom Mills has returned from a trip to Benson, where he delivered John Skaggs of Flagstaff to the Benson of ficials. Skaggs is wanted there and also at Naco on charge of forgery. It is alleged that in both places he passed bogus checks.
 Skaggs was arrested here on de- scription furnished by the Cochise coun. ty officials. He came here from Co., chise county and was in Tucson for several days. During that time he met several acquaintances and according to reports he managed to borrow sums of money from several parties. At each place he tried to borrow money he stated that he was temporarily in fnan- cial embarrassment, but that he would be able to repay loan speedily as he was daily expecting large sum of money by telegraph
 Skaggs, according to officers, admitted forging checks in Benson after he had been placed under arrest here.
 He is said to have been at one time prominent catteman in the Beaver creek district in Coconino county. About a year ago, according to re. port, he engaged in a pistol duel with man in northern Arizona, which re- suited in the death of the other party. Skaggs was freed on the ground of self defense.

.11MORE'S WIFE NOW IN PHOENIX
,,,1. COUNTY MURDER RECALL ~n BY ARRIVAL OF WIFE or .,,r OF THE vICTIMs-sTILL OITrER TOWARD HUSBAND.

DuoENIX. February l4.-The arrival of Mrs. George Ditmore, wife of .o lrIs Dtmore alias Hunter, who was uS% "'5 ,t Superior on New Year s day A.i'I T bsr little son, recalls that tragic 'u~ ,n,rsper. They came from Adams %.r 2,s York. to this city and will take
 W" ,bpir residence in Phoenix. They .ip.ma,Iv sp lived in Cripple Creek and Iy ... well known to many people now r.;uo @ in Phoenix. It is understood

 T., ;s denied by those in touch with 4, ,,ss that her coming has any par .i,rI,r significance in connection with ,S, triaI of the alleged murders, Stew ~, and Fondren, either for the prose- ..,ion or defense. There is a note of S;ttsrpess suggested in her conversation .,c,,5ipc Ditmore, from whom she had ,,Sg been estranged, though an affection .,;s,sd between the little boy and his father.
 Tho int;mation that the woman s ..srnO toward her husband might lead :, her use as a witness for the de- .srse was deprecated. Mrs. Ditmore will ,l,.a her son in school here and her ,s,iienee may be permanent.

A MATRIMONIAL
 M|XUP IN TUCSON
ALLEGED THAT ACTOR RECENTLY wEDDED THERE IS A BIGAMIsT MEXICAN FULLFIGHTER FOL- LOWS BRIDE TO RECOVER HIS DIAMONDS.

TUCSON, February l4.-Behind the marriage of a man who gave his name as Don Dooze to Elizabeth Smith by Judge Scott in this city several days ago, there appears to lie a complicated matrimonial tangle.
 Dooze and his bride managed to have the nuptial knot tied only after much worry and excitement. They were fol lowed to this city by Antonio Con zales, noted toreador, who came here from San Diego and who had been ap- parently much smitten with the Smith woman 8 charms
 Gonzales on his arrival here appealed to the officers to restore to him about $500 worth of diamonds and deeds to real estate in San Diego which he had showered on the woman. The officers could, however, find no law warranting their seizure of the diamonds nor the deeds to the real estate.
 It developed further, according to the report Gonzales made to the officers, that in addition to the diamonds and the real estate he was touched for an additional $25 by the woman on a "hard luck' tale she recited.
 Dooze and his bride, after their mar riage here, are said to have gone to Douglas. Dooze is an actor.
 According to Los Angeles report, a man named John C. Dohs deserted his wife in Los Angeles and married in Tucson a woman whose name is Eliza beth Smith, and it states further that the Los Angeles police, as well as the federal authorities and Gonzales are now searching for the couple. The Los Angeles Mrs. Dohs, according to the report, declares that she will not prose- cute her husband if he is found, excus- ing him on the grounds of not being in his right mind while here.
