sUEs DEAD AlAN
Was Pension Agent and Left Short
are Of AAR.H2H.


WASHINGTON. d. c.. March A.
Uncle Sam Is the plaintiff and Will
lam T. Collins, deceased, the defend
ant in a suit brought today. Collins
was at one time pension agent for
the government In the District of Co
lumbia. and left behind him a short
age OF $4B,525.O6. The suit has
been pending for over 80 years.
The title of the suit is the United
States VS.. William T. Collins. The
present action Is to collect from the
executors OF two OF the eight of Col
Inns sureties the amount that an in
vestigation showed he was short.
Collins was pension agent for the
District of Columbia from 1859 to
1872, and left office under cloud.
Succeeding investigation showed he
was short $49.525.O6. He was
promptly sued by the government.
He left the Jurisdiction and evaded
throughout life service of papers by
deputy United States marshals.
The government instituted suits
against his sureties who had gone
on his bond of 100000, 900, but
never realized anything from six Of
them, and finally sued the surviving
two sureties, Robert Boyd and Will
lam III. Slater, both now deceased.
The. case went to trial A verdict
was in favor of Boyd and Slater, but
the trial judge granted a new trial.
At the second trial the jury returned
verdict again in favor of the two
sureties. When the case was taken
to the court of appeals, however, the
verdict was reversed.
The case for some years has APP
parently been forgotten, but will be
revived by the suit instituted today.
The suit names George w. Evans,
disbursing clerk of the interior de-
partment, as the executor of the es-
tate OF Robert Boyd, and George E.
w. Il. Slater, executor of the estate
of his father, William H. Slater, as
the parties in their capacity a ex-
ecutors who should make good the
shortage.

MADE NOISE LIKE THIRD TERM

Blue Pill-Taft Replies.
BOSTON. March A great au-
dience assembled at Symphony hall
last night and heard addresses by
Secretary Of War Taft, United States
Senator Elmer J. Burkett OF Nebras-
ka, Governor Guild and Lieutenant
Governor Draper. All the speakers
were guests of the Republican club
OF Massachusetts,, which held its an
nual dinner In the hall previous to
the speechmaking. The address of
Secretary Taft followed lines SINH
lar to the one which he delivered in
Kansas City several weeks ago.
Governor Guild took occasion to
deny that he had been a party to
any arrangement by which he would
receive the nomination for vice
president. He added that should he
be selected he would not refuse the
nomination.
Later Secretary Taft went to the
Hotel Somerset, where he made a
brief address before the members of
the Boston real estate exchange.
Simon Ford Rouses Taft.
A witty address by Simon Ford of
New York at the expense of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Secretary Taft
before the Boston real estate ex-
change and auction board at the Ho-
tel Somerset brought Mr.. Taft to his
feet in a prompt response to what he
termed an insinuation against Ibis
chief"
Mr., Ford's striking remark, which
called for the response, was:
II looked upon Theodore the First
as a sort of political blue pill. The
body polite doubtless was suffering
from many disorders. and elimina-
ton of which was necessary. Well
we have had our dose. all right. His
last message certainly made a noise

Hear Complaints.

Hear Complaints.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 4.-E.
H. Harriman's railroad methods will
again be subjected to a searching
inquiry when the California railroad
commission meets tomorrow to re-
sumo its hearing of the 1000 cases
of rebating charged against the
Southern Pacific railroad.
In the opinion of Commissioner
summerland of Los Angeles, the
hearing will occupy much time.
There will be much evidence"
he said, "and many witnesses, post
ponements and delays, and several
lawyers representing the different
parties. / think the investigation
may take months. But, knowing
that this investigation is to be made,
every individual in the state who has
any evidence to offer or any kick to
make should come forward or be
represented at this time. We simply
sit as a board of judgment. The
Traffic association and dissatisfied
shippers should present their
charges; the railroad should make
answer"
1--WE will contend that there has
been no discrimination against any
shipper" said Peter Dunno, attorney
for the road. "All the refunding
which has been done has been on ac-
count of competitive or local condi-
lions, and each shipper has enjoyed
the same privilege in the matter. We
have offered every facility to the
railroad commission in examining
our books and records, and we are
ready now to proceed with the hear
ing"

PROSsER, Wash, March A.
Mrs. Floyd West. who lives with her
husband on their ranch seven miles
from Prosser, in the direction OF
Rattlesnake. started out early last
evening to meet her husband on his
return from town. Not meeting him
as soon as she expected. he having
taken another and shorter route,
she undertook to find the way back
home by cutting across through the
sagebrush, but was unable to find
the road.
Darkness coming on, she lost her
way entirely. and wandered about in
the sagebrush alone all night.
Her husband, not finding her on
his return home, became very much
alarmed. and set out to find her by
tracking her footprints in the dust OF
the sagehrush. but found that impos-
sible, and came into town for the
bloodhounds recently brought into
Prosser by the county sheriff.
The dogs took up the trail and fol-
lowed IN its wanderings Of over Il
miles, and finally ended at the house
OF a ranohman near Grandyiew. ar
irving there just one hour after Mrs
West reached the place. at about {
o'clock this morning.

REPUBLICANS CARRY SEATTLE
Elect Mayor and Most Members OF
City Council.

SEATTLE. Wash, March 4.-The
city election here yesterday proved
to be the most overwhelming repub-
liean landslide in the history of the
municipality. With the possible ex-
ception OF the Eighth ward, where
Sparkman, democrat, is leading at
midnight by very narrow margin,
every member of the straight repub-
lican ticket is elected.
Early In the evening the returns
from all parts of the city we're SO
decislvely in favor Of the republican
ticket that Mayor Moore, the candi-
date of the city party, telephoned his
congratulations to the managers OF
John F. Miller, the republican candi-
date for mayor.
At midnight Miller was 1000 votes
ahead of Moore and was continually
gaining. Owing to the large number
of amendments to be counted returns
are slow.
The Moore people were astonished
at the overwhelming victory of Mil
Ter and IT is also true that the Miller
people had no idea CT winning by
such a wide margin.
The Importance of the election can
not be overestimated as the first gun
In the presidential campaign.
II felt" said Mr.. Miller, the may
or-elect, that 1t was important that
Seattle should go republican in the
campaign of presidential year. and
1t looks as IL many thousands OF
good republicans agreed with me.
The offices and successful candi-
dates are as follows:
Mayor, John F. Miller.
City comptroller, Harry Carroll.
Treasurer, Colonel w. F. Prosser.
Corporation counsel, Scott Cal
houn.
The day was ideal and the largest
vote in the history of the city was
polled The exact figures can not be
given at this hour, but 1t was large
per cent Of the total registration,
which was $1,000, as compared with
1889 two years ago.
Returns indicate the election Of
of the following councilmen. all but
Sparkman. who is a democrat, being
republicans:

Kootenai county is as follows:
The consideration of these ques-
