He had come there from his family

A brother of Boyle says that he
never saw Boyle in the company of
a woman until he met Anna Nc

and how the McDermott woman

not know.
In the early part of 1908. they

MILTON UP
IN ARMS
TIRED OF HAVING MAIL
HAULED AROUND ALL DAY
IN RURAL DELIVERY CART.

Milton wants better mail SER
vice. Residents of the hustling
Iinterurban town are going after
Uncle Sam, Congressman Cushman
and the Puget Sound Electric Co.
and anybody or anything else
which can in any way be held re-
sponsible for present conditions.
1t takes as long for a letter
mailed in Tacoma to go to Milton
as it would to go to Spokane. Mail
for Milton is routed to Puyallup
and finally reaches its destination
after travelling half a day in a
rural delivery wagon.
Milton people declare that no
other town of 500 Inhabitants has
such poor mail service, when the
facilities are at hand to improve
1T. Attempts to have the mail car
ried on the tnterurban SO far have
failed. The railway people say the
government is to blame for being
SO niggardly on postal rates that
the company cannot afford to
handle the mail. The postoffice
officials say the railroad is hog
gish and has repeatedly turned
down a good thing.
Meanwhile Milton Is buckling
on its armor and getting ready for
a fight to finish.

SENATOR GR|LLEO
|. FOR ATTACK ON
HAMILTON
(By United Press Leased Wire.)

(By United Press Leased Wire
SAN FRANCISCO, May A.
Aroused by the attack upon Alex
ander Hamilton made by Senator
johnson of North Dakota, who is
trying to prevent the erection of
a Hamiltn statue in Washington,
Gertrude Anterior, the noted au-
thoress, poured out her wrath in
a verbal torrent today. Declar-
ing that johnson is really to in
significant to deserve notice." and
thst he was probably talking for
the benefit of his constituents, she
exclaimed:
81 don't believe he cares two
cents about the character of Alex
ander Hamilton. 1t is more than
likely he doesn't know anything
about Hamilton. He is the sort
of a dog who thinks this is a good
chance to have his yelp heard"
Whether or not Senator John
son knows anything about Alex
ander Hamilton 1t is certain that
Mrs. Atherton does. Her novel,
1.-The Conquerer, is concerned
with the dramatic events of his
career and her careful study of
his life has attained for her recog-
nitnon as an authority upon the
subject.

Blaming the tariff for the failure
of scheme for winning fortune
in the Orient, Miss Lua McCurdy,
an enterprising Seattle girl, is
here today on her way home from
Shanghai. Miss McCurdy declared
today that her defeat was only
Temporary and that she intended
to return to the Far East and
make another attempt in business.
Miss McCurdy intended to estab-
lish a moving picture film ex-
change at Shanghai.
Upon her arrival there she
learned that American films had
no chance in the market because
foreign manufacturers could sell
them so much cheaper. This, she
says, is due to the high tariff

paratus.

CITY TO SELL BONDS

Rankin Of the finance committee
of the council are both in favor of
issuing the bonds in series. BY
this plan the city would begin pay
ing the moff probably at the end
of five years and would pay so
many every year until they were
all redeemed. This would make
the cancelling of the bonds easy
and would be constantly reducing
the bonded debt, thereby saving
interest and keeping the city from
exceeding the debt limit.
If the serial bond can be ISSUED
this form will probably be adopted

And that was the last that poor
old man McDermott heard from
the little girl Nanny to whom he
used to bring candy when he came
home and who crawled up into his
lap and called him daddy"
The same week that Anna Nc
Dermott and a smooth, well-dress-
ed man of about 80, known as
Yorke, both disappeared from the
cafe life of Chicago, Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank A. Parker appeared in Kan
sas City.
Parker and his wife rented fur
nished rooms. Apparently they
were people who had some money,
for Parker was not employed. His
white hands showed that he had
never done manual work of any
kind.
Parker and Mrs. Parker fire.
Quented cafes and drinking places.
They had been living in Kansas
City about four months when Mr..
and Mrs. j. A. Gatewood adver-
tised a restaurant for sale at 918
East Twelfth ST., Kansas City. Par
ker, whom the Gatewoods identi-
fled positively this week as Frank
A. Minor, now a convict in the
Missouri state prison, and Anna
McDermott answered the "ad,"
and said they would buy the res
taurant. Parker told a story of
having 5000 on time deposit which
he was unable to draw from bank
without losing the interest.
Figures in Cafe Deal.
Gatewood asked him to produce
a property owner to indorse Par
ker's notes for the purchase of the
restaurant, and a man named Ben
son came forward. Benson's prop
erty was purely mythical, and Ben
son himself has fled from Kansas
City.
Parker, who was Yorke in Chi
cago, and who is now Minor in the
Missouri penitentiary, and Anna
McDermott took charge of the
restaurant and ran it for five days.
In that time 500 worth of stock
had been consumed by patrons of
the place and a stranger had
come along and paid $50 for a
half interest. Needless to say, he
lost the $3.50.
Patrolman Hoover took them
from their rooms at Twelfth and
Locust SITS. to the Kansas City
jail, where Anna McDermott was
a prisoner from May 2 to June IT,
1907. Her companion was in jail
somewhat longer, and it was al
most entirely due to Anna McDer-
motifs loyal efforts that Parker
again secured his freedom.
Prosecutor Lininger also re-
ceived from Detective Schauffler
a report of another transaction in
Kansas City in which Anna Nc
nermott, as Mrs. Parker, figured.
She advertised for a loan of
5000. A loan agent who appeared
found her, he says, draped in wild
ow's weeds and weeping bitterly.
He was SO impressed with her
story that he loaned her the money
security, and is one of the
victims left behind in Kansas City
by Parker and his crowd.
Kansas City was becoming en-
tirely too hot for Frank Parker
and Anna McDermott. They left
as quickly as he was released
from jail, and stopping a day or
two at joplin, Mo-. made their
way to st. Louis.
From st. Louis and East st.
Louis they operated until August
80, 1907, when Parker, under the
name of Frank A. Minor, was ar

rested Sept. 10, 1908, at Spring
field, ILL.,, on the same charge.
In both these instances she
escaped prosecution.
Twenty-Five years ago there was
born in a little brick house at 1872
Seminary av., Chicago, little girl
The family called her Anna. Her
father was William McDermott, a
member of the Chicago fire de-
partment, and her mother was
Mrs. Kate McDermott, who died
when this little girl was years
old.
Childhood Days in Chicago.
The little girl had two older sis
tiers, Mary and Kitty, and an old
er brother, who bore his fathers
name, William.
Firemen in Chicago are not paid
princely salaries, but William Nc
Dermott, by care and thrift, was
able to raise his family in COM
Portable circumstances and to edu-
cate all the children, including
the baby girl, Nanny, as they call
ed her, who was the pet of the
family.
There came a stepmother, who
tried to bring up the children as
If they were her own. When lit
tie Nan reached school age she
was started with her sisters, and
her photograph appears in a group
of school children taken at the
Headly public school of Chicago Ia
years ago.
When Anna McDermott finished
her schooling she took the place OF
her sister In the office of DR.. John
G.. Message, a physician at 14S
State ST., Chicago. KittyMcDer-
mott, the sister, had been DR.. Mes
sage's office girl. She was engaged
to be married, and her stepmother
decided that she must learn how
to cook. A little less than four
years ago she went home and
Anna took her place, receiving the
patients in the doctors office. She
filled this place for nine months.
Trained to BE Singer.
Anna was now between 10 and
10 years old. She suddenly be-
came possessed of the idea of be-
coming a singer. She persuaded
her father to send her to a convent
in Wisconsin that she might have
her contralto voice trained. She
remained in the convent only five
months; then returned to Chi
cago.
1t is at this point that Anna Nc
Dermott's life turns to one side
and runs down q long and steep
declivity.
Anna began to drink in grill
rooms and cafes and to keep fast
company. Her old father, worried
to distraction over the situation,
followed her one night to a meet
ing place downtown. The next day
there was an interview between
father and daughter.

continue to do as you are doing
and be my daughter"
The girls answer was to disap-
pear absolutely from Chicago with
in few days. No message came
for months. The family waiting
for news from their baby sister
heard only I'm a roundabout way
that she had eloped with q man
named Yorke.
