SEATTLE POLICE FIND
SWINDLERS' HANGOUT

Seattle, July 10.-Ragged pieces of
lead gilded to resemble gold nuggets,
two rolls of confederate and counter
felt bills, sealed Northern Express
company envelope filled with coun-
terfeit bills and marked $2S00, five
checks for $1,000 on Seattle banks,
each endorsed and ready for use, and
other appliances used by swindlers
were found by the police today when
they arrested Chas. Carter and w. ].
Byron in a room in an apartment
house on Union street.
Late this afternoon the police re-
ceived a report that two men in an
upper room in the apartment house
were fighting desperately. Upon
breaking open the door the police
found Carter on the floor bleeding
from a deep cut over the left eye,
with Byron on top choking him re-
morselessly. The men are believed to
have quarreled over the division OF
spoils.
A letter bearing a Tacoma post
mark and signed Your blackeyed
devil" was found in the room. The
writer made a piteous plea for money,
in which she said send it, Charlie,
even If it is tainted"

London.-Queen Alexandras ner-

death is worrying King George. She
IS irritable to a degree and most
touchy on the subject of her status
in the land.
Contrary to all precedent, she has
continued to live at Buckingham Pal

banner reserved for the monarch
alone. When demonstrated with, she
retorted that she intended to fly the
flag till one was provided of a special
design for her use, AS to Bucking-
ham Palace, she is greatly attached
tc the place, and also to Sandringham
but she has no regrets about Windsor
Castle, which she never liked any
more than King Edward.
She has been very angry also about

days ago in an illustrated paper and

FREEMAsONs ARE ACTIVE.
Young Turks Are Taking Up Secre
Work for PrOpagandist Purposes.

London.-A correspondent recent
ly in Egypt writes:
THE Constantinople correspondent
of the Times recently referred to GER
tain phases of the spread among the
Young Turks Of Freemasonry of a
political type. During the last few
months the local press of Cairo and
Alexandria has published several all
lusions to the goings and comings of
Turkish and Egyptian Freemasons.
AS is well known in Alexandria the
Turkish Committee of Union and
Progress has allied itself with politi-
cal Freemasonry. which it apparently
uses for propagandist purposes, with
the object of obtaining support in the
neighboring Moslem countries and
perhaps in certain European states.
at would seem that some months
after the deposition of Abdul Hamid
an Ottoman grand orient was formed
affiliated more especially 10 the
Grand Orient of Egypt, believed to be
idential with the Turkish minister of
control of the lodges recently founded
in Turkey and Syria.
"An effort was made to bring local
Egyptian lodges unser the control of
the Ottoman Grand Orient, which.
under some curious inspiration, nomi-
mated as one of its delegates in Egypt
for that purpose no less a person than
Mahomed Bey Ferid the chief of the
Egyptian Nationalists. Many local
members of the craft were naturally
mucb perturbed nv such an aDDOint-
ment, the political nature of which
was evident Dissensions broke out,
and it is said that the Grand Orient of
Turkey has endeavored to undo the
appointment of Mahomed Ferid by
founding another Ottoman Grand
Orient in Egypt as SISTER lodge" tc
| the Grand Orient of Turkey.

nected with certain political if no

comment Attempts have even beer
made to bring it into communion
