Colonel j. L. Smith may not, as the
dispatches from Xenia, O., state, be
now drawing his salary as superintend
ent of the Xenia soldiers and sailors
orphans home, but he is having more
fun than any 63 year old hero of Chan
cellorsville and Gettysburg is enjoying
these days. In fact, the old soldier
does not need his salary, for he is trav-
cling around the country winning
money as a foot racer. He stands alone
in the Sc year class and does not hesi-
tate to give way for youth and win
anyway. At the Coliseum rink, in Baker
street, Thursday night Colonel Smith
on foot, travelled half mile before Les
ter Bierwirth, champion roller skater
could do mile on the wheels.
Back in Xenia, Colonel Smith had a
wife taking great pride in the fact
that her talented husband was making
better records than Picketts men
made down from Little Round Top
while with the veteran in San Fran
cisco was a handsome woman of 35
years whom the gallant veteran intro
duced as his wife. The couple stayed
at the Colonial hotel in this city and
the sturdiness of the presumed hus-
band and the beauty of the reputed
wife. coupled with the affection that
was mutually displayed, won much ia
vorable comment from other guests at
the place.
Xenia has yet to hear of this latest
trophy which the colonel has acquired
in his travels.
Word was received from Xenia last
evening that Colonel Smith had been
missing from the soldiers and sailors
orphans home, of which he was SUI
perintendent, for three weeks, and that
his wife intimated that he was in Cali
fornia The dispatch said that Gov
ernor Harmon sent a letter ordering
that Smiths salary be stopped. Finan-
cial Agent T. j. Collins of the home
said that Smiths term did not expire
until March l. The governor has or
dered an investigation.
Word from the Ohio town said that
the coloners ability to sprint won hin,
widespread notice there. Several
weeks al go he was publicly denounced
by the xenia ministerial association on
account of his participation in race

NEW WESTMINSTER. B. C., Feb. 9.
Amy Morris. who came here recently
from San Francisco with the intention
of marrying Lee Barker, a Chinese
merchant of Victoria, was deported to-
day by the police as an undesirable
citizen.
The celestial and his intended white
bride secured a license in Victoria and

Congress Can Remedy 1t

1t has been suggested that congress
can apply a remedy. The emoIument
Of the Office Of secretary of state was
increased during the time for which
Mr.. Knox was elected. During that
time also it can be restored to its
original sum.
It is not impossible that bill may
be put through both houses restoring
the compensation Of the secretary of
state to the $4,000 where it stood be-
fore the last increase. After March 4,
1911, when Mr. Knox's term for which
he was elected will have expired. con-
sress could then again increase the
compensation and make it the same as
that Of other cabinet officers.
The whole question opens up an in
teresting field of conjecture for the
constitutional lawyers of congress.
There is at least one precedent bear
ing upon situation similar to that
in which Senator Knox becomes the
central figure. During the, last term of
the late Senator Matt Ransom of North
Carolina, the salary Of the ambassador
10 Mexico was raised In the closing
dys of his term Senator Ransom re-
signed from the senate to accent the
appointment as ambassador to Mexico.
His appointment was sent in February

TOO AY,THFY SAY,
OF FRENCH ATTACHE
D'Abbans' Tenure at Consulate
Soon to Be Terminated
by His Recall

An era of calm, of rest without incl
dent, is about to dawn on the local
French colony and particularly about
the French consulate, for Consul Merou
has asked for the recall of Count Jouf-
troy d'Abbans, the attache of the con-
sulate who has got his name into the
papers more often than any other con-
sular official in the west. The local
French colony is about to rejoice over
the fall of the count, as If. he were a
fresh Bastile and the day of his recall
July H.
Never was count d'Abbans particular
ly en- rapport with his compatriots He
was the grand young man and he re-
ferred to his countrymen as '.blanchis-
seurs ct laveurs de vaisselle," a fine
Partisan way of calling them laundry
men and dish washers
That pleased the colony. No?
Then there were other details of the
young mans conduct. He stirred up
mess over in the Hotel ST. Mark in
Oakland by trying to sing a cafe chan
son when the Sons of the American
Revolution were having a banquet and
toasting the sword of Bunker Hill.
Amuses the Sailors
Then when the French warship
Catinat was in the harbor the count
went aboard and conducted himself in
a way that amazed the officers ana
amused the sailors it is said.
In his social life the count mingled
with the Fairmont and st. Francis hotel
folk and told risque stories, it is said,
or tried to tell them until the pastime
grew too risky. The final touch of
high life that this young due de
Marmalade," as his countrymen called
him. was to collide with the fist of AL
bert Faulkner. an automobile manager
because D'Abbans had invited Mrs.
Faulkner to tea.
Since the ST. Mark incident the local
French newspaper, LIE Franco Califor-
MEN, has received numberIess letters
from its subscribers asking why the
paper did not write up the glittering
life of the consular attache. The paper
responded that the youth wasn't worth
the effort.
But now the days of lie petit NOR
veu." as the French people here call
him, are numbered. Consul Merou has
sent word to Washington. which will be
conveyed to Paris and through Official
channels, that a counts title is not nee
essary to preserve the ec1at of the local
consulate
Consul Is Discreet
"of course, it makes me feel very sad.
indeed. when young man in my office
acts like that Consul Merou said yes
terday in discussing count dAbbans'
escapades. But naturally / can not
talk about it nor say what viii be done
in the matter. Ny position forbids
that"
But while the consul is discreet, it
is understood that 'Ie petit commits de
chancellerie.' as the French paper
called D'Abbans-the little clerk of the
consular office-is about to get a letter
from Paris inclosing passports, etc
When asked concerning his prospec-
tive removal count d'Abbans shrugged
his shoulders. What more could a
count do7

1t was stated yesterday by the attor-

in regard to flies:
