LURED SON AWAY
Young Louis Serazan Disappears
After introducing His
Sweetheart.

The parents of Louis Serazan. 1s years
old, of Al Rankin street, are disturbed
over his absence since March 6, when
he went home and introduced Sophia
Dankuski II years old, as his sweet
heart.
The parents incline to the belief that
Sophia and Louis are married.
They have no objection to this possi-
bility. Young Serazan has remark
ably sweet tenor voice.
Louis was born in Vienna. where his
voice attracted the attention of the
teachers, and at their suggestion the
parents gave Louis every chance to cul-
tivate it, until two years ago. when
they could no longer afford the money.
they decided to come to this country
and accumulate sufficient funds to send
Louis back to complete his studies.
The son went to work and was saving
his earnings, until a few months ago.
when he attended ball In the Hill Sec
ton and met Sophia.
Sophia's dancing charmed Louis to
such an extent that he never lost an
opportunity to take her to every dance
that he could.
Louis's parents believe that all of the
money he had saved is being spent on
honeymoon trip.

WASHINGTON, March 1s.--The long

course OF time, although 1t was al
lowed to lie over when the Senate met
in executive session today while other
nominations which were sent in today
We're promptly acted upon.
The selection of Mr.. Durant is gen.
erallv. accepted as the introduction of
President Taft's announced policy Of
appointing white men to Federal posi-
tions Of responsibility In the South.
Among the other nominations of the
day was that of r. 3. Creager, of
Texas, to be collector at the port of

while she was alighting from an open
trolley car
Her husband joined in the suit for
loss of her services.
Mrs. Wisher Is the mother OF three

result of her injuries:
Il was bruised about the body and
limbs; and now | am afraid to go out
alone. cant do my housework, as I
gct weak in the back and nervous and

1t was while helping an elderly

thrown from the running board of the
car, because the power was suddenly
applied.
Leonard Kalisch and Chauncey G.
Parker appeared for the Wishers, while
Howard MacSherry will put in a de-
fense of contributory negligence for the

q conference held today between Joe
McGinnity and Frank Bowerman. man
ager of the Boston Nationals, McCin-

and has a good chance of landing him.
Bowerman and the "Iron Man" are old

man he caught SO successfully while a

Ball WIS one of the stars of the East
ern League and would undoubtedly be a
valuable acquisition. Cocash, the bril-
1iant player purchased by the New York
Giants from the pennant- winning
Springfield, ILL.,, team, may arrive at
the Tiger cage, instead OF going to the
American Association, as now planned.
Charley Carr. OF Indianapolis, has
been hotfoot after Cocash, and believes
that he has him landed, but II is un-
derstood that a deal is to be made
which will bring Cocash into the Tiger
fold.
Cy Seymour will not be sold by the
Giants or released by McGraw. St
Louis is after him. but It Is likely he
will ultimately be forgiven by McGraw
and play centre field.
