Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition grounds.
 Daughters of the Revolution, Daugh- ters of the Confederacy and Colonial Danes joined to make the ceremony memorable and at least one direct de- scendant of the southern general stood among the sponsors.
 Among those who stood as sponsors were Mrs. John Ewing Price, president of the Colonial Danes; Mrs. Elisha P. Ferry, Mrs. Eliza Ferry Leary, D. A. R.. Mrs. Eleanor Ingersoll Thorne, D.. A. R.; Mrs. Thomas Burke, Mrs. John F. Miller, wife of the mayor of Seattle; Mrs. Delafield lineal descendant of Robert P. Lee Mrs. G. A. c. Roches- ter N. D. C.; Mrs. Guy Lee Camden, de- scendant of Robert E. Lee, and Mrs. Mary Carr Moore.
 The massive tree, which is one of many in the forest which stand higher than Bunker Hill monument, was christened by Clora Triton Emery. Wa ter from the living springs of the park was sprinkled upon its roots and the christening phrase was;
 Great tree, in memory of a hero, ] christen thee Robert E. Lee"
 Words composed for the occasion by Mary Carr Moore and set to the air of Into the Woods tho Master Came, . were sung during the ceremony.
 The Robert F. Lee tree is the great est of four named for famous men. It stands a fellow to the giant fir named for Roosevelt and near 1t is another named for Paderewski. and anoth CT named for Adams.
 So close is the beautiful forest to the grounds of the Alaska Yukon Pa cific exposition that the directors of the big fair made the ceremony a semi official affair. A municipal com mittee from the city government was in attendance and a dozen of the most winsome girls of the younger social set of the city attended as maids of honor. All of these were chosen from families rooted in the southland and many good old names will be recognized in the list, among them the Howes. the Hanfords. the Burwells, the Whittel- seys and the Ronalds.

Der of refugees from Messina and the stricken section affected by the recent earthquake in Italy. Escaping from the dangers of land it seemed to them that they were again doomed from the sea and the wait before the Florida again came up to the Republic to offer assist ance is explained by the difficulty the of ficers had in quelling the panic aboard their own crippled ship.
 The Florida had her bow battered in She headed for New York, but had hard Iy gotten under way when she was com pelled to slow down and display signals of distress These signals were seen by the Baltic She relieved the distress of overcrowding and the Florida again start ed to race for New York.

 Vessels to the~Rescue.
 La Lorraine, nearing port, with her hun dreds of passengers, was the next to hear the cry of distress and without a moments hesitation her captain put her about and went speeding back to the aid of the vessel from which few hours be- fore he had received the message: All s well.p
 At Boston and at Woods Hole, Mass, the first message from the Republic was received by the wireless stations. and al- though the disabled vessel was 100 miles away the two stout revenue cutters put to sea to give what aid they could.
 In the midst of this activity every in- strnment in the wireless stations was at tuned to get the next flash from the decrs Of the disabled steamship. A flash now and again showed that she was still ahoat and then after three hours wait came tfe official message from Captain Sealby of The Republic that no lives had been lost and that the Republic would probably -enain aflost
 Shore Communication.
 After this message the communication with the shore was principally through the wireless of the Baltic and La Lor- raine, as the wireless of the Republic had grown so weak that her messages would not reach the shore The storage bat teries had become almost exhausted and the ships power that replenished them had been drowned out by the inpouring of the sea. There was still fear and sus- pense on all sides as to the ultimate fate of passengers and crew until the wireless reported that a steamer had come alonN- side and was taking off the passengers. Later it was learned that the officers and crew had stuck to the vessel. At this time the Lucania came into the wireless zone and caught the f1eeting mes- sages telling of the disaster. Although she had not heard the first call she quickly reported that she was on her way at full speed to render assistance to the republic The presence of the Italian steamer Florida, which sailed from Naples on January 10, bound for New York; with 1121 souls aboard, in such close proximity to the Republic, was for long time un- explained. It was considered one of the rare fortunes of the seas.

POLICE MAKE SEARCH FOR
MAN WHO KILLED LANDLORD
Husband Separated from Wife Shoots
Lodging House Proprietor Who
Denied Him Seeing Woman

FRESNO, Nov. 19.-Local officers are
still on an active hunt for Jim Ker-
foot, the man who last Tuesday night
shot and killed Hamlet r. Brown in
this city because the latter, who kept
lodging house, refused to allow ker-
foot to see his wife, from whom he had
been separated.
So far the only tangible clew which
has been received is given by DR.. w.
P. Miller of Fresno, who states that
while waiting for a train at Herndon,
about ten miles north of this city, he
saw a man in an extremely nervous
condition arrive at the one hotel there
and apply for a room. The physicians s
suspicious were aroused, but after re-
ferring to a description of the muir
derer it was found the suspect In no
way tailed with the main points con-
tanned in the description and he was
not molested
Since then, however, it has been as
certained the original description of the
murderer furnished the officers was
not a correct one, and the suspicion is
beginning to grow that there are per-
sons in Fresno who are interested in
having Kerfoot escape.
