Special Correspondence to The Press
CHICAGO, Jan. 12.-To win the
prettiest girl he ever saw, Roswell
Boulton Peck, a hot blooded young
Texan, made a flying cross CONT
nent trip hand in hand with Daniel
Cupid. His lady love is a dainty
singer who appears as Mabel Fay
on the program, but whose real
name is Ethel Hamlin. She is the
daughter of a New York lawyer.
Lochinvar Peck, who came out
of the southwest. is the 10 year
old son of Zacharias N. Peck, a
ranch owner and oil king of Travis
county, near Abercombie, Texas.
His father gave him a plentiful
roll and started him on a trans
continental and European trip to
acquire world knowledge.
The young man got as far as
Gotham when the vision of Miss
Hamlin dawned upon him in a
downtown playhouse. Dreams of
Europe vanished before the allur-
ing reality. r..
Automobile rides, champagne
suppers, midwinter' flowers and gay
life from New York to st. Louis
and st. Louis to Chicago, in one
entranced whirl, marked the career
of young Peck.
Not much Of the roll was left
when the oil king finally drew in
the boys tether in Chicago.
Accompanied by two detectives
the elder Peck burst into the
youths presence at the stage door
of the Auditorium theater and took
him into custody.
Roswell Boulton baked like a
Texas mustang at first, but Father
Peck was broncho buster in the
early days and soon had the young
man responding to the check rein
He wasn't such an awful bad
dad. though. He gave the young
people few moments to talk it
over alone and during the honeyed
interval before parting, Miss Ham
lin is said to have agreed to wait
a couple of years.
The young woman made a favor
able impression on the oil king.
She assured him that to her Ros-
well is only a dear. good boy, and
nothing more "

BIG MINING SUIT
DECIDED

Four lines of record in the pro-
ceedings of Judge Remnants court
convey the information that the
court had passed judgment on the
most important civil action tried
in Spokane county for months. In
adjudging that 100000 shares of
stock in the International Coal &
Coke Co., worth between $4,000
and 100000, is the property of
Daniel Shultz, Judge KEENAN, yes
terday evening terminated for the
time being an action that has been
on trial in his court for over a
week.
The disputed stock has been in
the possession of the clerk of Spo-
kane county for two or three years,
having been turned over to the
court by Mr.. Miner of Montreal
owner of the controlling interest
in the International.
Paul A. Paulson of Spokane and
Shultz contended for the stock
Paulson was the original locator of
the mine and took in Shultz to help
finance the enterprise In it's earli-
est stage. Shultz was then a rail-
way conductor and reputed to have
considerable money. Afterward it
became necessary to interest
others in the mine, and through
o. G.. Labaree of Spokane a man
named Plunnerfelt of Victoria, who
represented Miner, was interested
in the proposition. For this intro
duction Labaree received 175,000
shares.
Paulson claimed that Shultz had
not borne his share of the burdens,
and in the deal with Miner it was
secretly agreed that after every
thing was cleaned up and the prop
erty put in good shape. Miner
would turn back 100000 shares of
the stock to Paulson. In the mean
time Miner let the knowledge of
the 100000 share agreement be-
come public. and Shultz promptly
put in claim for his one-half of
it. regardless Of the fact that he
had given Paulson a receipt show
ing that he had received in full all
the interest in the mine that was
due him.
Rather than become involved in
complicated lawsuit. Miner turn
ed the 100000 shares in dispute to
the court of Spokane county, and
by agreement Of the parties Paul
son was permitted to take posses
sion Of one-half the stock as his
undisputed property, leaving the
other 100000 shares held up as a
prize to be battled for through the
courts. In the first encounter
Shultz has won, but the case will
be promptly appealed to the SUI
preme court, and the battle prom
ises to rage for some years to
come.
Paulson already is owner Of $780,
900 shares of the stock, which
brings him an income of $21 900
per annum.
Daniel Shultz, the other party to
the suit. still holds about $4,000
shares of his original allotment in
the mine. which brings him an in
come of nearly $4,000 per year.
The attorneys in the case were
Post, Avery &c Higgins. Happy &
Hindman and J. NJ Geraghty for
Paulson, and for Shultz appeared

Q.-Are the farm houses in your
neighborhood as good as they

Q.-Do the farmers in your

reasonably should expect?
Al don't see how the govern

: WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. H.
a Missouri farmer has written to
the Country Life commission, sug-
gesting, among other things, that
the scarcity Of foreign help is due
to a lack Of babies on farms. In
answer to the question, els the sup
ply of farm labor in your neigh
borhood satisfactory" J. G. Specs
of Newark, Lewis county, Missouri,
writes: Il
"No." "Why?" Because the
people have gone out of the baby
business" Responding to the ques-
tion, What suggestions have you
to maker" he says. Give pension
to every mother who gives birth to
seven living sons on American soil
] in the United States, even If some
are woods colts"
The answers and suggestions
sent in by Mr.. Specs are often hu-
morously sensible. Attached to the
front page of the schedule Mr..
Specs sends to the commission a
Ehalftone picture from the National
Geographic Magazine, showing a
German peasant and his family
who have come to this country to
See II it is easier to make a living
here than in the fatherland. The
picture shows the young German
and his wife and flight of steps
consisting of eight children. Over
1t he has written: II wish I
knowed where that Dutchman is.
I'd send for him to rent my farm"
Other questions and answers are
rs follows:

ing hired labor on the farms in
your neighborhood satisfactory to
the hired man?

and every darned one of them
thinks they ought to be king.
fQ.-Do the farmers In your
heighborhood get the returns they
