Won Votes With Dead Bodies.

The bodies of two men who died
OF alcoholism were placed on eXhibi-
tion in the windows of the under
taking establishment of the deputy
coroner at Auburn, 90 miles South
OF Seattle, in in an effort to win
votes for the "drys" in the local
option election held here Tuesday,
Dut without apparent effect for the
GOWN voted wet" Both factions
were making a hard fight and the
prohibitionists appeared to be in the
lead until late in the afternoon.
Then the tide began to turn In a
frantic effort the anti-saloon leaders
appealed to Deputy Coroner Con-
nell, an ardent prohibitionist, for
aid.
He hurried to his establishment
where the bodies of the two men
lay. Bolstering them in an upright
position in their coffins he placed
lem in the front windows. Above
head of each sign bearing the
)rds: He died of drink" was

ti-saloon men directed their at
ton to the exhibition.
There was no desecration OF the

Why Towns StaSnatp.

When a town stagnates it is us
lily because its citizens have no
bile spirit. Content with things
they are and unaffected by the
Ngress that goes on around them
hey see their own community Vege-
ate, while others nearby, fortunate
n their type of citizens, go ahead
rom one year TO another. Thus il
S that Dftimes towns with many
|atural advantages are out-distanc-
ID in population and wealth by
laces for which nature has done
bat little.

from whence he came. is mystery.
He was first seen i'm the Hebron
section, between here and E.w

and dGnces practically all the time.
He does not know what his name is.
put claims Georgia as his home He
says that while in Georgia he was
in the penitentiary part of the
time and in the asylum part of the
time.
Good Enough for Teddy.
One of his favorite songs is the
'Old Time Religion" and he makes
up the verses as he goes, using the
names of all the Presidents of the
United States down to Theodore
Roosevelt, saying: 1T is good for
Theodore Roosevelt" etc.
The man has terrorized every
body around the Jail, and there has
been but little sleep among the
large number of men confined in the
Jail.
When he was found by the officer
he was bare-footed and carried a
large sack in addition to pair of
brogan shoes. The sack contained
u little of everything, from raw po-

AUSTRIAN CONSUL
GETS BOUNCE FOR
ROOSEVELT SHEER
Compatriot, Who Admires the
Strenuous One, Is Evidently
Cause Of the Downfall.

New York, May 24-Alexander
Nuber o Pereked. who for several
years has been consal In New York
for Austro- Hungary, Is no longer here.
He departed about a week ago on q
vacation. 1t is said that the vacation
will be permanent.
Herr o Pereked, according to GER
tain Intimate friends of his, may thank
for his dispossessment of the New
York job a tongue hat was balanced
In the middle and wagged from either
end. In plain words, Won Pereked
talked too much. and his talk CHANGED
to touch upon a certain distinguished
citizen of the United States.
The citizen reflected upon was ex-
President Theodore Roosevelt, of New
York. Oyster Bay. Africa, and the
world at large.
Words Quickly Bore Fruit.
In amazingly quick time tho refec-
ton upon Mr.. Roosevelt was wired to
the Austro-Hungarian ambassador at
Washington and to the representatives
Of Emperor Francis Joseph at Vienna,
and behold Consul DR.. Won Maroilo-
yitz is holding down the ustro-Hun-
gary post in New York.
From the Hotel Plaza came the ex-
PLANTATION of the diplomatic affair.
At the Plaza is residing the Imperial
Count Guido R~eichsgrafr Won Auers-
perg. young blond, strenuous. and an
I LIN VI Master w ltilclf1- INK
Roosevelt.
"a couple of weeks ago I came over
here" said the count in his suite. "Ac-
cording to our custom I visit, when I
come, consul. Herr Won Pereked. I
talk with him of things in general-of
matters the world er-amon their
of your distinguished Colonel Roose-
welt.
My cousin. Count Carl Won Ausperg,
chances to have been one Of the milf
tary officers delegated as a guard OF
honor for Colonel Roosevelt in my ma
tive land.
"A BIatherskite; a Faker!"
Without knowing of that, the consul,
Herr Won Pereked, said to me: That
Colonel Roosevelt! Bah! He is a faker
"a blatherskite-an advertisement CT
himself!'"
Jus what happened after this al
consul deponent (meaning Count Won
Auersperg) will not say. But certainly
something happened. Washington
heard about the affair and so did vi
emma. So, incidentally. did the New
! York consul.
our Won Auersperg, who took up
for Roosevelt. is an ardent admirer of
his. He also is a firm believer in the
democratic form of government and is
here, as a matter of fact, to size up the
American style of running things.
When he goes back to his native land
he is going to run for the Austrian
congress n he thinks he will be
elected.
Il cannot make g speech of this deli
| cate diplomatic matter" said Count
Won Auersperg. of Mr.. Roosevelt what
shall say? He is a great man. And
America is a wonderful country. But
as to consuls and diplomacy-nein!"

MANY AMERICANS Sail
TO EUROPEAN SHORES
Summer Exodus to the Old
World From New York
Starts Today.

New York. May 24.-The tide of
wealth n fashion toward Europe
reached it's spring flood today when a
fleet Of seven ocean liners carried 1856
persons bound for the pleasure cities
n resorts Of Great Britain and the
continent.
A representative passenger list today
Is that Of the steamer Kaiserin August
Victoria, carrying among others Mr..
n Mrs. c.. Oliver Iselin, Mr.. and Mrs.
Perry Belmont, several members of the
Schwartzschild family. Mr.. and Mrs. C.
d. Campbell-Johnson, Of San Francisco,
and numerous other we'll known peo-
pie.
The Celtic, for Liverpool, took num-
erous notables, prominent among whom
was William Jennings Bryan, who goes
to attend a missionary conference to
be held in Edinburgh, Scotland. On
the Lapland, for Antwerp, were Senator
and Mrs. Elihu Root. Senator Root
is on official business.
Before sailing Mr.. Bryan expressed
the belief that the next congress would
be democratic. and that upon its record
would depend whether or not the dem
ocrats would elect the president In
1912. He had kind words to say for
Mayor Gaynor, of New York, and ex-
Governor Joseph w. Folk, of Missouri.

New York, May 24.-Bradstreet's

New York, May 24.-Bradstreet's
Saturday said:
Trade reports, except in the north
west and on the north Pacific coast,
are Of little gain in activity and. in
deed. in some lines, such as textile
manufacturing. quiet or further cur
tailment is still the subject of discus
sion. 1t is probable, however. that the
evidence of crop and weather improve
ments came too late in the week to be
adequately reflected in the present
weeks reports. In the larger industrial
centers, particularly in the east, i'm
provement is not as yet manifest,
whereas the quieter tone of many lines
or the evidence of further curtailment
of operations point to other causes
than backward weather having been
operative in holding back demand.
There Is still evidence hat anticipa-
lions as to spring trade We're keyed too
high. Summed up, trade as well in
speculation seems to be in a waiting
stage.
Business failures In the United States
for the week ending with May 10 were
225. against 216 last week, 219 in the
like week of 1909, 2g4 in 1908, 165 in
1907 and ITO in 1906.
Business failures in Canada for the
week number 10, which compares with
"a for last week and 25 In the cores
ponding week of last year.
r. G. Dunn g. Co.'s Weekly Review
of Trade today says:
The trade movement, taking the
country as a whole. continues large.
That there is in all the markets, and
particularly Is this the ease in the se-
curity market, much disappointment
that the extravagant expectations at
the beginning Of the year are not be-
Ing fulfilled is beyond question. and
this feeling results In a very conser-
vatlve attitude on the part of both
traders n consumers. There is a
feeling among some that conditions in
separable from the period of world
wide political and economic trans
actions may be forcing some important
readjustnents, and the disposition is

DIGGERs OF PANAMA
ARE HAVING TROUBLE
Unprecedented Rainfall il
Isthmian Region Is Retard-
ing the Work.

Washington, May 24-The canal
diggers or the isthmus are having
trouble. principally owing to the un-
precedented rainfall which has loosen
ed the soil and interfered with engi-
sneering operations. AT one place about
"a mile north of Empire, an old canal
dug by the French, broke through the
banks into the new cut, flooding seven
steam shovels n raising the water SIS
feet above sea level. 1t became neces-
sary to construct a giant nufne of tim
Der to divert the water of the old canal
before operations could be resumed.
In another case what are known as
the toes of the west section of Gatun
dam have been sliding in and washed
away the trestles, and notwithstanding
ing the greatest efforts on the part of
the engineers. 10000 to $4,000 cubic
yards of material disappeared almost
instantaneously into the great hole
tina had peen washed under the cor
ners of the dam. Power pile drivers
were set to work at once and the gap
was closed within a week SO that there
has been no serious Interruption in the
work.
Great progress is being made in the
construction of the mammoth locks at
'Gatun, according to the Canal Record,
and 1871 per cent of the concrete has
been placed.

LOSES OLD TAIL
AND NEW ONE Is COMING

Chicago, May 24.-The theory that
Ha!ley's comet has lost its old tail,
which is still floating in space in the
eastern sky, and is now generating a
Daniel j. McHugh. professor Of astron-
omy at De Paul university, today. The
old tail was forced ava from the
comet by the force of nusua cleo
trical repulsion caused by the sun
spots. which We're so prominent
Wednesday, he thinks.
1T is my opinion said Professor
McIiugh, that the comet lost its tail
some time Wednesday night. There are
records of it's having done the same
thing in 1885. and it is also believed
that it's tail was lost in March Of this
year. l believe that there is not the
slightest chance of the earth's coming

BASEBALL WRITER IS
KILLED IN ACCIDENT
Chicago Newspaper Man Thrown
From Auto and Succumbs
to Injuries.

Chicago, May 24.-George A. McDon-
aid. a local baseball writer, died today
as the result Of injuries sustained in
an automobile accident last night. Mr..
Mcdonald was riding in the car owned
by Johnny Evers. the second base
man of the Chicago Nationals, When 1t

from the first the physicians enter
tanned little hope Of his recovery.
In the car besides Mcdonald and
Evers were Joseph Evers. a brother of
the baseball player and a negro mech
anician. Mcdonald attempted to
jump ~ he saw the collision coming.
He fell under the car and wedged in
so tightly under the fender that 1t re-
quired the efforts of three men to ex-
tricate him.
Mr.. Mcdonald was 81 years old. mar
ried and had a son five years old. He
was graduated from Northwestern

WEARING
FINE RAlMENT In
ENGLISH CAPITAL
Honors Accorded sovereigns
Are Likewise Extended to
U. S. Ambassador.

London, May M.-Four British SOL
diers, scarlet-coated, topped with bear
skin busbys, guarded Theodore Roose-
welt in Dorchester House day and night
before Ambassador Reid's residence
until King Edward rested with his
fathers. These honorary guards were
sent because Colonel Roosevelt was
special ambassador to the royal obse-
|quies.
Before the guards arrived, and so be-
ing in no danger of challenge, Seth
Bullock went to Dorchester House in
response to Colonel Roosevelt's invita-
ton to luncheon. The South Dakota
marshal's other intimate friends might
not have recognized him, so resplen-
dent was he in a shiny silk hat, morn
ing coat, boiled" shirt, carefully
creased trousers and patent leather
shoes.
Meets Tit,eG persons.
He met at luncheon Dick" Cunning
hame, the African hunter, who person
Tally conducted Colonel Roosevelt's ex-
petition through the jungle; Lord Gro
mer. who became famous as the British
agent IN Egypt the Marquis of Lans
ldowne, and other guests. All We're de-
lighted by Seth Bull ck's tales Of the
wild west, in which Colonel Roosevelt
was not the least prominent figure.
It was revealed during the luncheon
THAT Colonel Roosevelt had ~disobeyed
his PHYSICIANS order to keep indoors
and as quiet as possible. Colonel
Roosevelt had taken Seth Bullock and
Cunnjnghane, of whom each vows the
Dther is a good fellow, to the shop of
Rowland Ward, a taXidermist, who is
mounting some of the faunal speci-
mems shot in Africa. The c~ompaniona-
Bile trio went also to a gunsmith's,
where, while inspecting firearms. they
recouunted their adventures afield.
Writer'S Impression of Hunter.
Colonel Roosevelt's demeanor
strangely impresses those who do not
know him. For example, an English
newspaper man who watched Colonel
Roosevelt yesterday, wrote:
Mr.. Roosevelt's gait is a tumble OF
short, sharp steps, his feet are slight
ly of the spread-eagle kind; his hands
are either on his hips or resting stiffly
by his side. Mr.. Roosevelt's style of
conversation is a %staccato splutter of
short sentences

started on his cross-channel flight last
July, n rose gradually to an altitude
Of 1000 feet. at which height he was
travelling when he was lost to view
in a light haze. The torpedo boat de-
stroyer Escopette followed in the wake
