RICH YOUNG BARON
IS SORRY He HASN'T
WON A BRIDE HERE

NEW YORK. Sept. 23.-Baron
Hams Won Bleichreder, young,
handsome and oldest son of Baron
Won Bleichreder, the wealthiest
banker in Germany, and personal
financial adviser of Kaiser Wilhelm
sailed on the Mauretania Wednes-
day, heart whole and unengaged.
He has spent eight months in this
country.
The baron, who is 81 years old,
graduate of Berlin and Heidel-
berg and an officer in the German
colonial army of German South
West Africa, held a position with
kissel, Kinnicutt & Co, the big in
ternational banking house at No. 81
Wall street. There he became
thoroughly conversant with the OPP
erations of Wall street.
He also travelled throughout the
country and Mexico in special
trains as the guest of prominent in
terestS. who desired to obtain the
millions of his house in their enter
prises.
1T was my misfortune that | did
not meet that fair American who
could have made me her willing
victim" said the baron.

independence. BY that | do not

rather that independence that

breeding and mans ultimate dis

MYSTERY
FINALLY
CLEARED

The mystery of the disappear
ance of Captain H. II. Dennison,
the prominent lumberman of Sand
point, Idaho, who has been missing
from his home for three weeks,
and who was last seen two weeks
ago in Spokane by a friend, at
which time his hair appeared gray,
as if from worry, was cleared up
last night by his appearance in
front of the Parsons hotel on First
avenue. Z. H. Chaplin, a fellow
townsman, found him standing as
il in trance. He was unable to
give an account of his wanderings
and he will be placed in a sani-
tarium for treatment. Worry is
given as the reason for his disap-
pearance, and the police believe
that since coming to Spokane he
has been changing from one room
ing house to another, thus eluding
his friends and the police, who
have been searching for him con-
tinually.

TRAP LAID AND

VANCOUVER, b. c., Sept. "a
J. W. Bowel, son of Sir MacKen-
zie Bowel, and controller of Chin
csc immigration at this port, was
today suspended by the minister of
trade and commerce, Sir Richard
Cartwright, for alleged irregulari-

The explanation given for the

interpreter Yipp On, without first
consulting the department.
A trap was laid for Yipp and a
number of Chinese were found
aboard an incoming steamer, pro-
