WOMEN DOING
GOOD WORK

Mrs. C. s. Bowie, as chairman
of the protective work for women
and girls In Tacoma, Is laying
broad plans and reports a most
enthusiastic and efficient co-opera-
ton by her committee, which is
large and representative.
Mrs.. Clarence Lucas and Mrs.
F. G. Walker have undertaken TO
inform themselves of the kind of
plays presented In the theaters,
reporting adversely as they deem
1t necessary. Mrs. G. l.. Hoska,
assisted by a number of helpers,
will seek to make the parks safe
places for recreation for girls and
young women.
1t Is planned to have trained
worker wearing the badge of the
association at each train and boat
landing to advise and help those
who need 1t.
Thus far $40 has been sub
scribed for this special fund, but a
far larger amount is needed to do
efficiently the work the committee
have in mind.

a cross-examination.
For more than two years Mr..
Calhoun's subsidized newspapers
have been bitterly assailing every
person connected with the prose
cution and have been charging all
sorts of things against them. With
these baseless charges. the prose-
cution threw down the bars. Ru-
dolph Spreckels, James d. Phalan
and Charles w. Cobb were put up
on the witness stand and the de-
Tense was invited to make its
chares good by REORGANIZATION
ad libitum. The cross-examina-
ton took place and all the charges
disappeared like snow before the
midday sun.
After seeing the opportunity
for two years to make known HIS
story, Mr.. Calhoun is afraid to
talk.

SAN FRANCISCO, June IA
That the people of San Francisco
are face to face with a situation
more grave than that which con-
fronted them ddring the Schmit7
administration, is the declaration
of Francis ]. Heney, who, in be-
half of the city, has prosecuted
Patrick Calhoun, president of the
United Railroads for the alleged
bribery of a member of the super
visorial board.
Heney sees in Calhoun's failure
himself to take the witness stand
in the trial that is drawing to a
close, and In the determination of
tho Calhoun defense not to call
witnesses, an admission of guilt
He says:
"The failure of Mr.. Calhoun TO
put a single witness upon the
tsand or to take the stand himself
In the present trial, In view of the
evidence which has been produced
Is open to no other construction
than the one that he is guilty and
does not dare submit himself to

AMERICAN CROOKS Make EASY
LIvINGS IN THE LONDON FOG

Happy hunting ground for
crooks-that is what they call the
sgloomy-gray old city of London,
England.
Lots of our American crooks
have settled down in the worlds
greatest city.
There's good easy living there
all the year around, and without
much danger of being caught.
Our own Eddie Guerin, who es-
capped from DEVILS Island, Blond
Nell, his partner, and a lot of
American crooks whose names
and faces are familiar to half the
big city detectives in this country,
have adopted London as their
home.
The suspicion law is one reason
for the safety with which the
crooks operate in London. The
fogs help too, of course. But no
one in England can be held on
suspicion. He must be caught
with the goods on. or In the very
act or he goes free.
There aren I the big stakes
there. Scotland Yard gets most of
the big crooks. But II a man is
content to take small comfortable
money--as in pocketpicking,
green goods game, con games,
small thefts and the like--they'll
be all right.
. Two men In London know every
crook In the city. Ono Is big,
fat. unsmiling Chinaman who sells
opium and cocaine to them. The
other is the chief of Scotland Yard.
This chief Is strange man. He
knows almost as SOON as new
crook reaches his city. He sends
him IA note. asking him to call. He
receives the visitor politely asks

that 1t was very feasible one. SO

failure seemed almost impossible.

pearance went. might even have
been the original of that faded
photograph, many years old,
which was included in the collec-
ton. Miles Quaintance, the I'M
Gle who had been minded to make
his nephew a multi-miliionaire on
such curious terms, was safely
buried, and, in any case, had
never set eyes on him. Neither
had the girl who now remained
chief actor in the situation, nor
yet the San Francisco lawyers
with whom Seager had already
been in correspondence, and who
had accepted his plausibly proven
statement that he was Stephen
lQuaintance. They had therefore
sent him whatever information he
asked, and only baked at his
application for. funds to enable
him to comply with Miles Quaint
ance's stipulation. That did not
lie within their province, they
said, and Mr.. Stephen Quaint
ance must make his own way
to the address in Paris with
which they had supplied him, and
where the girl might be found.

that the marriage required had

Dirck Arendsen's brain was
lhusy seeking for some weak point
ION which to pounce, but without
finding any. Even had the real
stephen Quaintance been living,
1T would have been very hard for
him to disprove 1t. There was a
1coxetous CLEAN in Dirck Arend-
sents eyes.

Seager called back. He had not

rang up the steamship office to

Good Thing for Belding.

For some time some of the people of
Saranac and vicinity have felt the need
of public rest room where any one
might feel at home TO wait rest or read !;
nd1considering this stock company
has been formed 10 meet this need. Dr.
Gesler's new building on Bridge street
has been rented for this purpose. The
front part of the room will be made
suitable and pleasant as possible for the
entertainment of all. In order TO meet
the expense of the room, lunches will
be served in the rear of the room; ice
cream, candies, etc, will be sold. They
will be ready TO serve the public the
last of this week. Everybody will be
welcomed.
There will be one or two vacant
buildings after the first of May in Beld-
ing. Why not have rest room or
two here for the convenience of those
who come here TO do their trading?

TROUT FISHING DAYS
Now is the Time When Anglers Turn

the banks of many stream,
He Is casting lcaSting casting, i'll his waking
or his dream
Yes! trout fishing days are here again.
The legislators have let down the bars
for few months and all over the state
there is an increased demand for reels,
lines. flies, hooks and bait, as the vari-
Gus disciples of the late lamented Ike
Walton get ready for their annual pill
grimage for the speckled beauty or the
rainbow trout.
The Pere Marquette, that great caterer
for sportsmen traffic, is out with fine
spring announcement telling you just
how to reach the spot where the trout
are as large as the stories told by the
''disciples" after one of their sortees in
quest of the artful dodger. In these
pamphlets which they have issued are
some decidedly fine pictures of "The
Count" w. Z. Hetherington in his
fishing regimentals; |. l.. Hubbell
lodged i'm tree. and Herb Page doing
fishing stunt, besides other views of
those who, like Belongs fishermen go
annually in search of the queen of the
brook.
The pamphlet is very complete in all
its descriptions of the haunts of the
speckled beauties, but il fails Ia state
whether or not the company will furn-
ish snowplows To enable the fishermen
TO reach the streams SO wildly described
therein. Just how many of the Beld-
ing bunch will cast aside the cares of
life for a season and make the trip this
year we are unable to learn but among
the number who will wade the brooks

very seldom go together but the ele-

mysterious manner and when il was
showing the hardest the air was filled
with flashes of lightning and the roar
of the thunder
The storm continued all night and
this morning there was five inches of
snow on the ground. Telephone and
electric light wires were down in all
parts of the city. Lights and power
were crippled and disorder reigned
supreme. To add 10 the general dis
comfort rain began falling AT an early
hour and great damage by flood is ex-
pected.

right but last nights storm capped the
climax. Just how many months more
