NO GOLDEN-HA|RED BOY
WAS SON OF MRS. YOUNG
,'aS Once Troubled by Illness
of Some Child, Believed
to Be Brother.

Mrs Alexander Young. who was shot
by Charles W. Rigdon in Chicago, has
carefully covered up all track of any
''golden-haired little boy" she may have
left in Washington.
In fact, persons who knew Mrs
Young. and who were employed by
her, declared today that she never had
little boy, with or without golden
hair, in Washington. They say they
would have been sure to have heard
her speak of him, if she had ever had
son.
At one time before she left Wash
ington. year ago last spring, Mrs.
Young was anxious because of the ILL
ness of little boy, and went every
day to see him, 1t was said at the
house on Corcoran street in which she
lived This little boy is supposed to
have been her brother, who was about
twelve years old at the time
1t was learned today that when Mrs.
Young left the house 1912 Corcoran
street after the window-smashing cpl
sode, in which Rigdon. played the prin-
cipal part, she went to the Grafton Hotel
and made that her headquarters for sew
eral weeks: in fact, until she finally left
Washington for good.
Il predicted before Mrs. loung left
Washington that Mr.. Rigdon would shoot
her some day. said man who was en-
ployed both by Mr.. Rigdon and by Mrs.
Young while they were here Mr.. Rig
don used to become enraged at the sights
which Mrs Young would put upon him.
He was very jealous of her. too
Mrs. Young had two younger sisters.
described as pretty girls. They both at
tended the Visitation convent on Connec-
ticut avenue and lived there, during the
school year, but later went to live on r
street near 18th street These younger
sisters were about sixteen and nineteen
years of age.

KINGSTON. Jamaica. July 22.-The

Home in Wild Country.

while it was known that the solenodon
was to be found in Santo Domingo said
Mrs. Adams, 1.-THE only specimen obtained
in the fifty years was that caught by A.
Hyatt Verrill, the naturalist, many. years
ago. The animal died before Mr.. Verrill
was liable to photograph 1t. but he
sketched 1t later. When we were touring
Santo Domingo we resolved to invade the
haupts of the ancestor of the rodent
family, and after fifteen days of hard
riding through the widest country in the
world we succeeded in obtaining five ex-
cellent specimens.
The specimens are apparently in the
best of health. They are fed nightly on
eggs, chopped birds, cabbage and vegeta-
bles. The solenOdon is genus of rare
insectivorous mammals, and those OBJ
tanned by Mr. and Mrs. Adams are nearly
two feet long. The snout is four inches
long and moves about much like the
trunk of an elephant. The animal has
small eyes, large ears, hard fur and scaly
tail. When at home il bides in hollow
trees, emerging only at night.

STRANGE BEAST COMING
TO WASH|NGTON'S zoo
SoIenodon Captured in San
Domingo Is Ancestor of the
Rat Family.

If any one in Washington has lost a
solenodon he can assuage his grief within
the next few days by going out to the
Zoo and seeing one alive. 1t will not be
the one he lost, but it will be one Of the
few in captivity anywhere in the world
and it ought to bring back pleasant MEM
cries to the bereaved owner.
The new animal is to be shipped from
New York some time today. 1t is the
gift of Mr.. and Mrs. Franklin Adams of
the Bureau of American Republics, who
have just brought back five specimens
from the mountains of Santo Domingo.
They are so rare that the officials of the
Zoo do not know exactly what they live
on, but they can have anything they
want from peanuts to ice cream, even
If there has to be an urgent deficiency

The little beast is closer approach in
general appearance to some of the ex-
to any present day mammals 1t is a
member of the hedgehog family and q
first cousin to shrew.
Paris Has Cousin.
So far as is known, there is none of
the Santo DOMINICAN variety in captivity
anywhere. There is none even In the
Regents Park Zoo in London, and the
nearest approach to it is a closely allied
animal from Madagascar in the Jardin
des Plantes in Paris
The out-Of-date mammal is about the
size of rabbit, has a long nose like
little ant eater and heavy claws on the
front. feet for digging. Those that have
been brought back by Mr.. Adams have
been fed on hard-boiled eggs and similar
delicacies. But If it wants ants or grubs
the biological survey will be called into
consultation and it will be seen whether
the particular brand Of insects 1t affects
cannot be raised in this latitude.

Some CouaciImen and City
Officials Favor RediStricting.
TO 0BVIATE SECTI0NALISM
Promoters OF Plan Believe Change
1 Would Stop "Line-ups" of East End
and Central Section Against Each
Other.

With the coming into Office or the
new city council, talk of the revision
of the ward lines Of the city, when
was first started more than a year ago
has been revived and il is proDaDle
that this matter will take dehhite
shape before the council in OCTOBER
or November.
Almost ever since the ward lines
were changed so as to divide the cl'S
into four wards instead OF seven
wards the representatives from the
Second and Third wards on the eas'
side of the Chesapeake & Ohio ran
way ward and the solans from the
First and Fourth wards have been
lined up against each other on many
propcsitions and the result has been
the delay in the passage OF many I'M
pOrtant measures.
Sectionalism Prevails.
With the wards arranged as they
are. the city is split into half WIN
the railway yard as the boundary iihe-
In every council the fesing Of sec
tionalism has prevailed and the FITS
and Fourth wards and the Second ana
Third wards have almost continually
been at large heads.
The plan now being discussed oy
some of the councilmen and city ON
Gals in a division OF the city into TWO
wards with <ahe dividing line running
east and west. This would obviate
all sectionalism and portions OF Ess'
End and the central part OF the CITY
would be included in each ward.
Reduce Number of CounclImeh.
Another argument advanced by the
supporters OF this plan is the posi-
biIjtv Of the reduction of the number
Of council from twenty-four TO Tour
teen. 1t is proposed to have four
members CT the lower branch from
each of the two wards. making eight
members in the common council, ana
three members of the board Of alder
men making six members in The up
per branch.
with the number Of councilmen re-
d,ced il would be much easier to get

claimed. business could be transacted
