Paris.-The probability that the

In the world, will always be preserved
as an artistic promenade and q chill
dren's paradise has been strengthened
by action just taken by the municipal
council Of Paris. The council not
only refused to grant permit for the
construction of Philharmonic palace
on the site OF the now defunct sum
mer circus, but voted to investigate
concessions previously granted. look

side Of the Avenue des Champs
Elysees, has only recently been
opened. If this proves as popular as is
expected other such tunnels will be
constructed under other busy tsreets,
notably the grand bouleVards.
The parkway known as the Champs
Elysees, or Elysian Fields, was laid
out near the end of the seventeenth
century. It was called the Grand
Cours at frst and was given its pres
ent name in the time of Louis XVI
The avenue itself is more than a mile
long and is lined from the Place de Ia
Concords to the Arc de Triomphe,
with pine, lime and chestnut trees.
The promenade is the favorite after
noon drive Of the fashionable world
of Paris and it is there that the
badaud, or French cockney, is seen
to perfection. On one side is a park,
T50 yards long and 40 wide, which is

William Henry, Champion Life Saver
Who Is Coming 70 America.


Who Is Coming 20 America.
Malta, Egypt, the West Indies and
South America: and now he is OF to
the schools, colleges and cities of the
North American continent in search
Of converts and recruits.
AS a swimmer Mr.. Henry is famous
not only throughout the United Hing-
dom but also all over the continent Of
Europe. He was long-distance cham
pion of England in 1899, salt water
champion in 1899, and won the life
saving competition at the Olympic
games in Paris in 1900. Besides these
he has taken part In numerous inter
national competitions, winning prizes
in Austria, Belgium, France, Finland,
Germany, Holland, Italy and Sweden,
until to-day he is the possessor Of
more than 60G trophies won in swim
ming and Ife-saEing contests.
Every school in England which has
q swimming club attached to it teaches
life-saying as part OF the curriculum
Examinations are held by the society
and certificates granted, and the great
progress made may be judged from
the increase in the number Of certif-
Gates awarded since these practical ex.
Aminations were instituted.
MY object in going to America, I"
said Mr.. Henry Just before leaving
London, ''is to try and stimulate the
heads of schools and colleges there to
take up life saving and have it taught,
lust as they teach the children to
read. The Importance Of knowledge
of the best method 70 reseuscitate an
apparently drowned person ought to
be clear to everybody.
People get drowned In America
iust az they do in England: but hun
dreds Of Lives would be saved II would

there are hundreds Of ahortiVs Efforts
at rescue every year. Frequently what
would have been single tragedy is

IMMIGRATION LAWS PREVENT
RICH scoTcHMAN, COMING TO
AMERICA TO SEEK HEALTHFuL
CLIMATE STOPPED AT ELLIS
ISLAND BECAUSE HE Is suF-
FERING WITH TUBERCULOSIS.

New York, April IL. The working Of
the United tSates immigration law
which refuses an alien the benefit OF
either the skin Of our physicians or
the advantages OF Dur climate if he is
suffering from certain diseases is strik-
ingly illustrated in the case Of George
q. Romanes, a wealthy Scotchman and
the SON OF an Oxford professor, who
is detained at Ellis Island with his wife
and two children and their two nurses.
Romanes is said to be suffering from
tuberculosis. He told the inspectors
that he was going to Colorado Springs
TO see what effect the altitude and
sunshine there would have on his all
meint. He had no intention of perma-
nently remaining here, he said, but his
English physician had advised him that
there was little doubt that he might
be permanently cured by a years So
tourn In Colorado. The law, however,
prohibits the landing OF aliens with
tuberculosis and the immigration Of
ficers told their distinguished visitor
that he could not remain. His brother
Frank. who lis a resident of Kansas,
was in New York to meet him and has
appealed the case to Washington.

tions.

schedule completely should get help
from others, If possible, in filling it
up.
The president has issued proc
lamation, calling on ali citizens to
cooperate with the census and as
surfing them that 1t has nothing to
do with taxation, army or jury
service, compulsory school attend
ance, regulation of immigration, or
enforcement OF any law. and that
no one can be injured by answering
the inquiries.
tt'is Of the utmost Importance

from the former chef forester to ad-
dress the National Conservation con-

time and place yet to be fixed

Isell of Dickinson, N. D., loses his sever

at the decision. Thousands gathered
outside and when the verdict was an
Inounced IT was greeted with Kisses and
cat calls, Dan. Russell and Senator
Simpson were calm under their terrible
disappointment.
The big ranchman stood UP at the

carried on their shoulders into the
street and there cheerec Ey the big
gathering,
Judge Scores Russell
Tn scathing words Judge I,swton
branded as an imposter the DicEin-
son, N. D., the claimant to half the
estate of Daniel Russell, and dismissed
the three petitions alleged to have
been brought by Daniel Blake Russell,
after record breaking trial of 1874
days.
Il have Just begun to fight" was the
answer of State Senator L. A. Simp-
son, N. ID. claimant to half the
the Dickinson man when asked if an
appeal would be taken TO a higher
court. The reading OF Judge Iawtop's.
decision occupied an hour and a half.
The decision was greeted with muir
murs of dissent which caused the Off
GERS TO clear the court room. The Judge
said:
After all these months OF evidence
/ conclude that this vast conspiracy
which was alleged 10 haye been ar
ranged, and which embraced the steal
ing of postofice stamps, the forging OF
letters, the subordinatfon Of perjury.
and other similar crimes. TO be with
out foundation and 1t vanislhes into air.
1T had its origin I'm the romantic
imagination of the counsel for the pe-
titioner and has no foundation in fact
or allegation. Professional detectives
have collected evidence which must be |
regarded as true. The photographs. |
which are said to be that of James
Of Massena, N. Y. must also
be regarded as genuine.
Neither the respondents (Messrs F. /
G. Almy and VIM. G. RusselD nor their
counsel have been anything except hon
est in their defense of the Russell es- 7
tate against an imposter, and dishon-
est claimant. And finally / flnd that
1one of these petitions now before this
court were brought by Daniel Blake
Russell, but by one who attempted TO
mpersonate him and defraud the Rus
sell estate. the petitions are therefor
dismissed.
Senator Simpson will have sixty
lays to file petition for an appeal
which II allowed, will bring the case
before the supreme court and trial be-
ore a jury probably next fall. In the
meantime IL is expected that the
claimant from Fresno, Calf will file
lis petition in probate court and II is
POSSIBLE that 1t may reach hearing at
ne end of six months.
