PRESIDENT GIVES APPROVAL
FOR BUILDING BILL,

WASHINGTON, March Alt seems
probable. after all that there will be a
small public building bill enacted by
Congress at the present session not
withstanding the reluctance of the con-
gressional leaders to expend any money
for this purpose. Representative Bar
tholdt, of Missouri. chairman of the
House committee on public buildings
and grounds. explained to the President
TO-DAY that there were certain urgent
necessities in the way of public con-
struction. and as a result of the con-
ference Mr.. Bartholdt stated that the
President had consented to give his
approval to a general bill that should
authorize the construction of buildings
in various sections of the country, the
total cost on which would not exceed
ten or twelve( million doliars.

BANKER LOSES $4,000

NEW YORK, March 4.-Those experts
in wireless wire-tapping, who make a
speciality of bankers with a leaning for
long chances, plucked another plump
one. it became known today, when they
got hold of a man who the police say
IS a banker from Huntington, w. Va
The name of the victim is withheld.
but detectives are investigating the
complaint of a visitor who says he lost
&c. 900.
The stage setting seems to have been
executed with unusual refinement Of
detail. All the appearance of a real
poolroom-wires, the blackboard, the
crowd of excited horses, players and
the hot tip-were there. By a COIN
cidence the banker bet on a horse.

told HI lost. and the whole outfit had

RUSSIA REJECTS PLAN FOR
NEW CHINESE RAILROAD.

PEKIN. March 4-The Russian gov
eminent in a formal note submitted TO
the Chinese foreign board rejects in
toto China's proposal for the con
struetion of the Aigun and Chinchow
railroad.
The Russian note includes the counter
proposal of Russia for the extension
of the Kalgan railroad by foreign capt.
tai to Baikal. Russia building the ST.
berian section. This counter proposal
as we'll as Russia's rejection of the
Aigun-Chinchow plan is based upon
a promise which the Russian govern
ment alleges hat China gave in 1888
that she would not construct any rail-
ways north of Pekin without first con-
sulting the Russian government.
China is not cognizant of this al
legged promise, and feels Obliged to de-
lay its reply to st. Petersburg until
the agreement asserted is proved or
dis proved to have been made.

AS the street understands it some
who had early knowledge of Mr..
Rockefeller's retirement from the steel
board are much out of pocket as a
result of their knowledge. The few
who had early information of the
change agreed that the public an
nouncement of it would be a bear
card. They acted accordingly and then
Steel went up.
Comptroller Prendergast continues to

SURVEYORS REACH
HERE TONIGHT
Copp and Party Finish Pre-
liminary Work to Wenat-
chez From the Summit

F. H. Copp. engineer, and his par
ty of surveyors, will arrive in We
natchee tonight, thus completing the
preliminary survey from the summit
on this side for the state road No. Z.
Tomorrow they will return to
point four miles the other side OF
the summit to continue their work
on into Ellensburg, where it is ex-
pected to arrive by Christmas.
The work has been hurried in or
der to have a working basis for
making estimates of cost to the
forthcoming session of the legisla-
ture. To obtain the necessary ap-
preparation, detailed information and
full specifications must be on han
for ready reference when a commit
tee is making up its report regard
ing this proposed road. To this end
the county commissioners contribut-
ed $1,000 as Chelan cOunty's share
OF the cost of the survey. Thus it
is hoped to hasten the building the
road by two years.

MURDERER UNDER
$50 BOND
Old Timer Tells of Early
Shooting Case in This
Valley.

1.-The law is administered in Che
Ian county little different than in
the old days said the old timer this
morning, in commenting on the con-
viction of Mrs. Totten. and Mrs.
Beebe for the shooting of Jim SUIT
ton. II remember in the old days
of Wenatchee that shooting WASH t
such a serious crime. I remember
we'll when Black Pat the gambler,
was shot through the head by Kid,
Wilson a short distance up the We
natchee river. This was about 20
years ago and was the result of the
gambler getting away with quite a
wad of money from Kid Wilson.
What do you suppose the law
officials did to Wilson," asked the
old timer. He was arrested in due
form, was brought before the justice.
who is now living in the Methow up
above Twisp, placed under a $25
bond which he furnished, and turned
loose. One dark night the young
fellow quietly slipped away and that
was the last ever seen of him in
these parts.
THE case was called at the next
term of court, which was held al
Ellensburg, then the county seat OF
what is now known as Kittitas and
| Chelan counties. The clerk read the
docket in which it was mentioned
that Kid Wilson was under a $25
bond. You meant to say $4,000
bond, said Judge Graves to the clerk
didn't your No, it was simply a
$25 bond Well, no wonder the
prisoner is not here to answer the
charge Dismiss the case, Mr.. Clerk.
Il guess Wenatchee valley is set
thing up" said the old timer, 'and
| it is not SO easy TO shoot man and
get off scot free as it was in the old
days, when l first came here. Maybe
| it is all for the. better, but at the
same time those were good old days
and we metereds out punishment tC
horsethieves probably as we'll as ii

people look on things different than
they did in those days, and this is
evidenced by the verdict against the
