IS so TODAY

washington, D. c., oct. 27-Presi-
dent Theodore Roosevelt is exactly so
years old today.
He is the youngest man to enjoy the
perquiaites and honor which attach
to the highest office in the gift Of the
American people.
It was on Oct. 81, 1858. that Presi-
dent Roosevelt first saw the light Of
da yin New York City which his
Dutch ancestors had helped to found
His father, Theodore Roosevelt, was
banker, and distinguished as phil
anthropist An uncle, Robert Barn
well Roosevelt, was prominent as a
member Of congress, and as leader
in reform policies in New York; was
once minister to The Netherlands.
The latter was an enthusiastic sports
man. and thus the same proclIvities in
the President are easily accounted for.
One Of his maternal uncles served in
the Confederate navy and fired the
last shot from the ill-dated Alabama,
sunk with the guns or the Kearsarge
off ,Cherbourg- His mother was de-
scended from Archibald Bulloch, mem
Der Of the Continental congress, and
the first Republican governor Of Geor-
gia
The President was prepared for col
lege in private schools; graduated from
Harvard in 1880; travelled in Europe
and on his return to New York began
the study Of law, which be soon gave
up for politics. In 1881 he was first
elected to represent the Twenty-first
New York district IN the legislature
and served two terms.
In 1884 he was chairman of the New
York delegation 10 the Republican ma
tional convention, where he first adyo-
cated Edmouds as a presidential can

TRAIL OF GRAFT
ENDS IN PRISON
ALLEGED CLEVER SWINDLER
CAUGHT IN EAST
Search for Accused Has Been Con-
Quoted Throughout the Length
and Breadth of the
Land

William Davis, said to be one of the
cleverest swindlers in the country, Is
under arrest at Cincinnati, Ohio, on a
warrant sworn out in this city charg-
ing him with embezzlement.
The search for Davis has been con-
Quoted the length and breadth of the
continent and his capture in the Ohio
metropolis is particularly gratifying to
the Los Angeles Credit Mems associa-
ton, which conducted the pursuit.
Davis is one of the score of names
given by a Russian Few of polished
and plausible manner no arrived here
in January last accompanied by wo-
man whom he introduced as his wife,
a little girl whom he called his daugh-
ter, and four saratoga trunks of ex-
pensive clothing.
He stopped at the best hotels and
made himself acquainted with leading
jobbers in the grocery line. From here
he went to San Diego and San Bernar-
dino where he was known as Thatcher.
Finally he appeared in Santa Ana
and by making himself good fellow,
talking much of his wealth and maxi
ing display of his gorgeous clothes
and jewelry by which he secured the
Endorsement of number of the lead
ing citizens of that place.
With these Endorsements he secured
a favorable rating from the leading
mercantile agencies and when this was
secured he approached the grocery
jobbers again and announced he was
going to open a modern store in Santa
Ana.
He rented fine building there and
had expensive fixtures put in and also
q $4,000 stock of the choicest groceries
and stapleS-all on credit.
He opened up his grocery store with
- $4,000 rIro 1,Io ,a511otfop IN r,T.iooc ~ oil
goods, and by underselling all of the
Santa Ana grocers soon had the cream
of the town trade at his command.
All of his goods were bought on so
days time and in the three months
interval from the date of his invoices
to the time of the falling Cue of his
accounts with the local jobbers he
realized about $4500 cash and then one
morning the store failed to open.
Clerks and customers alike could find
no trace Of "Mr. Davis" and when
the creditors began to make inquiries
they were equally unsuccessful in
learning his whereabouts, for "Mr.
Davis" and his wife and child and the
four trunks-increased to six by this
time-had gone in the night.
The local jobbers turned their ac-
counts over to the Credit Mems asso-
citation and that organization hired the
Pinkerton detective agency to find him.
From Los Angeles he was traced to
Portland, then to Seattle and then to
Victoria and eastward on the Canadian
Pacific to Winnipeg and Toronto and
Montreal
All trace was lost of him for time,
but finally he was located in Cincin-
natl where he was pursuing the same
line of tactics with the intention of
opening grocery in Hamilton, one of
the prosperous suburban towns near
there.
Davis will be returned to this city as
soon as requisition papers can be Sc
cured and an officer will We sent after
him.

0MAHANS SEE RIOT SCENES
Bert Miner says All STRANGERS Enter
Ina City Are Searched for
Firearms.

b. c. Miner, bookkeeper in the. office Of
the city treasurer, and Mrs. Miner are
home from Bloomington, I'LL. where they
visited for a couple Of weeks at the home
of Mrs. Miners parents. At Bloomington
Mr.. Miner saw the two negroes who are
said to have melted the Springfield riot,
and a week ago Sunday he spent In Spring
field.
"The militia was still in control OF
Springfield when / was there, though the
riot had begun to die down. said Mir.
Miner. "As soon az | struck the town 1
was subjected to Il thorough search, as
were the other passengers. and no one
was allowed to enter II he had firearms in
his possession. All along the road we saw
negroes hurrying in every direction, with
what few belongings they could carry tied
in a sack and many of them munching a
loaf Of bread on their way. Many of these
negroes own property In Springfield, ! un-
derstsnd, but / suppose as soon as the ex-
citement outlets down they will return"
Mr.. Miner Is OF the opinion that the con-
ditiors in Springfield are worse than re-
ported. He says the people are worked
up to a fever stage and on the least provo
cation it is feared the trouble will break
out afregh.
