An attaehe of the Peruvian lega-
ton at Washington, who followed a
woman who, he says is his wife. and
who also is declared to be the niece
of Attorney General Bonaparte, to Los
Angeles is held in the city jail as the
result of a violent quarrel between
the couple in their rooms.
The man is Alexander Garland, who
was sent by the Peruvian government
to the United States for the purpose
of studying modern architecture, and
the woman is Mrs. L. Roberts, allaS
Mrs. Louise Scott, prominently con-
nected in Washington.
Two weeks ago the woman engaged
a room from Mrs. e. o. Brown, 4o2
East Twentieth street. The following
day Garland appeared and rented
room from Mrs. Brown, giving his
name as Alexander. The couple said
they were husband and wife, but pre-
ferred being known by different names.
Each paid room rent the first week.
but the second week Mrs. Scott pald
for both herself and husband, with the
exception of $4 which, 1t is said, she
told the landlady she would pay later.
According to the occupants of the
house the couple quarreled frequently,
and Friday afternoon they are said
to have created such a disturbance
that it was necessary to summon
policeman. Then the woman declared
she would have the man arrested ana
visited the prosecuting attorneys Of
fee to swear out complaint against
him, but was refused the complaint
because OF insufficient evidence.
Quarrel Renewed
1t is asserted they returned home,
renewed the quarrel and yesterday
morning, so the occupants of the house
,.r.1. sts1-y yfg-p q n
threatened to kill Garland. The police
were notified and Patrolmen Marden
and Smith of the University station
were detailed to investigate. They ar
rested the couple and took them to the
central station, where a charge OF dis
turbing the peace was lodged against
them.
Mrs. Scott is dashing brunette.
She is about 25 years of age, tall ana
stately. She gave her name as Mrs.
L. Roberts, deposited $50 bail and was
released. Alexander or Garland gave
his name as Alexander Roberts, and
when searched but 81 in money was
found on his person. The woman
seemed to be well supplied with funds
and had a number of bills Of large
denomination in her purse, but she
refused to bail the man out and he
was locked up in the tanks with the
common drunks, vagrants and petty
thieves.
u am acquainted with many con-
gressmen and people high in the gov
ernment service" Mrs. Roberts said,
"and / wish the matter to be kept
quiet, not only because of my eastern
friends, a number of whom live in New
York city as well as at Washington,
but because of my sister, Mrs. Booth,
who is critically i'll at the Angelus hos
pital, and We're she to learn of this
trouble the result might prove fatal
to her.
''Is Roberts your true manner" she
was asked.

right name, do you?" she countered.
She refused to say how long she has
been married, but declared that she
had never lived with her husband and
never intends to do so. She refused
to state whether her husband had fol-
lowed her to Los Angeles. but asserted
that her marriage was distressing
subject and preferred not to make any
statement along that line.
Dispute About Room Rent
Mrs. Scott declared there had been
a dispute about the room rent. She
said she did not pay her husbands
rent, but had paid her own up TO
Thursday, but the money had been
applied on her husbands bill and there
had been an argument about it, with
the result that she was arrested Tor
disturbing the peace.
Mrs. Brown said the question of
room rent had nothing to do with the
arrest of the couple.
"They have been fussing and quar-
reling ever since they secured the
rooms" said Mrs. Brown. They
would become enraged at each other
over the most trivial matter and then
come to me and ask me if 1 had heard
what the other said.
'"The man is a Peruvian and was
sent by his government to the United
States to take a course in architecture.
His uncle is high in the service of the
Peruvian government and the young
man told me that he expected to be
appointed secretary TO the Peruvian
legation.
1.-THE couple told me that they were
married, but gave no reason why they
desired to be called by different names.
This morning during one of their
quarrels the woman grabbed razor
and threatened to kill her husband
Don't touch me- she said, or l VIII
cut your throat I thought it time to
have a stop put to such conduct. and
telephoned for the police.
Says She Broke Glass
about o'clock this evening"" con-
tinued Mrs. Brown, "the woman APP
peared and announced that she had
come for her personal effects. 1 told
her she could have them when she
paid me what she owed. She declared
she had been sent by Senator Flint
who told her to get her belongings anu
that she proposed to get them without
paying a cent I refused to admit her
to the house and she struck the heavy
plate glass door with her parasol and
wrecked the door. After she realized
what damage she had done she hur-
ried away and 1 have not seen her
since.
The door was badly wrecked and
the valuable plate glass was shattered
in many pieces.
Mrs. Scott or Roberts intimated that
her relatives in the east are prominent
people and it has been intimated that
she is a niece of Attorney General
Bonaparte.
The complaint charging the couple
with disturbing the peace Will be Is
sued Monday when they will be ar
raigned in police court. 1t is likely
/ that another charge will be preferred
| against Mrs. Scott or Roberts for
breaking the door at 452 East Twen-
] tieth street.

Real Estate Taxes Due.

Parties owning real estate should
bear in mind that taxes should be
paid upon each description on or
before the 31st day of May.
Owing to the fact that Saturday
and Sunday, May 80 and 81, are
legal holidays the tax payer will be
obliged 10 make pamyent not later
than May 20.
Should payment not be made be-
fore this date, a penalty of ten per-
cent attaches on June l to all un-
paid taxes.
Those who wish to take advant-
age of the law, which gives the tax
payer the privilege of paying one
half of his real estate taxes before
June 1, the balance payable in Oc-
tober. In any event, one half
the taxes should be paid be-
fore it becomes delinquent, to avoid
the penalty.
We would suggest that parties
living within the city limits or near
the city pay their taxes as soon as
possible, thus giving the treasurer an
opportunity to take care of the farm
ers or other parties coming from a
distance.

Mlnnesotan Scores Railroads in Rate
Conference in Chicago.
Chicago, May 1s.-Delegate James
Manahan of st. Paul, at the railroad
rate conference, discussed the polit-
tcal aspect Of the situation. He said
that public opinion would have to be
educated to the fact that the inter
state commerce board is handicapped
to such an extent that justice cannot
be done to shippers.
"What right" he asked, "has the
representative railroad man to come
before this body and present figures
that are unfair. Railroads cannot
question their own reports. Until the
railroads can dispose of the figures
our chairman has read they cannot
object to this protest.
"This is political question. The
railroad men are master politicians.
They see to it that the legislators and
possibly even the judges are in sym
pathy with their ideas. If New York
commercial men believe the figures
which the. railroads have presented
here they should be protected from
confidence men while they are in the

While the editor here of was in St

matters of import, the young man
whom we are attempting to train in
the way he should 90 was assigned
to learn the particulars of a morning
gathering of several of Bemidji's
splendid lady teachers, and get what
there was to be had for publication.
Had the writer been here, we
should have personally filled the as
signment, knowing the dangers a
young man is liable to encounter
when it's leap year; but as aforesaid,
we were away, and the youth had
the time of his life, as witness the
following, which is his confession to
the senior hereof, upon our return to
town.
In connection with this the
Pioneer reporter had an experience
he will never forget. He was in
formed by one of the gentlemen
teachers, who had not been invited,
that the party would certainly be
over by $3.50 O'Clock.
The reporter ascended the steps of
the Cortney residence at $50 and
ran straighr into the arms of about
fifteen school "ma'ams" who had
finished their repast and were looking
for some fun.
Declaring that no men were
allowed, they siezed the valiant re-
porter and endeavored to put him
under the table. Only by desperate
ly hugging first one, then another,
of the pretty school ma a'am" could
our representative keep from suffer-
Ing so lgnOmlnOuS a disaster. At
last, with his arms clasped tightly
around three teachers (who, by the
way, seemed nothing loath at the
treatment, and held his hands there)
they succeeded in decorating his
face and collar with pink stripes
of water-color paint.
With perspiration streaming
down his face, the reporter finally
managed to secure the above infor-
nation about their party from the
mixed and jumbled accounts of the
chattering school "ma'am." He

RAPID ACTION TAKEN
Senate Passes Aldrich Bill as Sub.
stitute for House Measure.
NOW GOES TO CONFERENCE

Lower House Likely to Insist on Pro.
vision Of vreeland Bill Making Com.
mercaI Paper Basis for Emer
gency Circulation.
Washington, May L The senate
committee on finance met and voted
unanimously to amend the Vreeland
currency bill, passed by the house, by
striking out everything after the en-
acting clause and inserting the pro.
visions of the Aldrich b}H as passed
by the senate and it was Immediately
reported to the senate by Mr.. Aldrich.
The Aldrich bill was amended, how
ever, by the elimination of sections 8
and II, the former being the Johnston
reserve feature and the latter the La
Toilette provision prohibiting a ma.
tional bank from loaning money to a
corporation or investing money in
stock OF a corporation, the officers or
directors of which are officers or di.
rectors of the bank making the invest
ment or loan. Sections were added
providing for the appointment of a
commission of nine senators and nine
members of the house to be called the
national monetary commissions"
All of the Democrats of the commit
tee unequivocally endorsed the action
taken except Senator Bailey. He said
that the bill was not in the form he
would like to see passed, but that he
would support it for the reason that
he believed it to be preferable to the
bill passed by the house. He an
nounced that he would state his posi-
tion on the floor. 1t is generally be.
lieved that the senate will stand by
its committee and that the proposed
amendment of the house bill will be
adopted without much debate.
When the bill goes to conference
the conferees on the part of the house
will contend for the retention of that
portion of the Vreeland bill providing
for the use Of commercial paper as a
basis for additional circulation through
the medium Of clearing house associa-
t1ons. Some such provision may be
accepted by the senate conferees.
The bill was passed by vote of 47
to 20.
