WHERE Is THIS BOY?

Confiding the information that
trouble has entered the family, A. j.
Tice, a we'll known insurance man
Of Elliston, Va. has written to
Chief of Police Sullivan in the hope
of learning something regarding the
whereabouts of his son, who. he
says has been roaming from place
to place for the last three years.
The missing boy, whose name is
F.. w. Tice, was in Spokane a few
months ago. and was working at
that time for the Inland Fuel COM
pany. He lived at the Havana hO-

Expressmen of the city are fight
ing mad. They claim that the Hill
railroads have made a deal with
she Pacific Transfer company to
give it the bulk of the baggage
business and that the police de-
partment of Spokane is being used
as tool by the railroads to see that
this monopoly of the business is
continued.
Hence, the eXpreSSmen, who pay
as much license for each of their
wagons as the vehicles of the Pa
cific Transfer company, are justly
indignant at this peryersiOn of the
police department for the benefit
of the big corporations.
Recently one poor expressman
has been arrested three times and
fined in the police court because he
dared to earn an honest dollar for
his family, in violation of the COM
pact entered into by the police, the
railroads and the transfer COM
pany.
The man paid the fine, but says
that he will still continue to strive
to get share of the business. even
if he has to risk his liberty as an
American citizen to do SO.

large city, when the corporations

SO far as eliciting any reply. how
ever, these remarks might as well
have been addressed to the sphinx.
The former president had a CHEEKY
word of greeting for all the callers,
but nothing even family resembling
reference to politics passed his
lips.
After the reception at the Shep-
pard hotel, Roosevelt visited the
Ashar university. He was attend

From the university he hurried to

The luncheon at the palace was
an unusual honor. 1t is the first
time that the khedive has ever Civ
en- a luncheon to private citizen.
Ambassador Straus was also a
guest.
Tonight Consul Iddings will give
a dinner in honor of Roosevelt and
some of the most prominent people
in the far east will be guests.
Roosevelt is evidently better in
formed on political subjects than
might be supposed. He has care
fully guarded against being trapped
into any statement that might be
construed as a political expression.
Although the correspondents have
led up to the subject of politics in
hidden and unusual ways, The

talks he has had with Ambassador
Straus he has gained intimate
knowledge of American affairs, and
is already in very close touch with

TURNS POOR
BOM DOWN

PARIS, March 26-Boni de Cas-
tellane, divorced husband of Anna
Gould, former Princess de Sagan
and now Duchess de Talleyrand,
recently offered to marry Baroness
Vaughn, widow of the late King
Leopold of Belgium, according to
unquestioned authority today. Boni
was flatly rejected.
Friends of Count Doni believe
that the volatile de Castellane
sought to replenish a somewhat
flattened purse by an alliance with
Leopold's widow.
Boni is up for reelection to the
| chamber of deputies this year,
and it is reported that he has moth
ing with which to make a fight for
the place. His only asset is his
title, and according to society's
statistics the matrimonial market
at the present time is extremely
dull.
BOni was awarded tidy sum re-
Gently by the courts under a con-
tract entered into by Anna Gould
before her marriage to him, where
by Miss Gould promised to pay her
prospective husband a stated mar
riage portion yearly. The sum,
however, taken in consideration
with Boni's menage, is -paltry.

DON'T OPEN TELEGRAM
ADDRESSED TO AN
OTHER
(By United Press Leased Wire)

OLYMPIA. March 26.-The state
law allowing treble damages where
person opens telegram adj
dressed to another was sustained
by the state supreme court late
yesterday in the suit of c. H.
Deighton against Arie Hoover.
Deighton owned 120 acres of
timber land in Oregon, which a
friend was trying to sell for him in
Minnesota. The friend wired that
he had received an offer of $4,000
for the land.
The telegram was delivered to
Hoover, who was Deighton's en-
ployer. and Hoover, instead of de-
livering the dispatch, traded Deigh-
ton land in Yakima county in eX-
change for the timber land. When
Deighton heard of the delivery of
the telegram, he brought suit. .
The jury found the difference in
value between the Yakima land
and the Oregon timber to be $1400.

ARCHBISHOP

Another step toward securing the
right of way for the Boulevard Park
Railway company's line from some
unknown point in Spokane out the
Northwest boulevard to it's inter
section with III" street was taken
today, when a petition was filed
asking that portions of lots 2, 3,
4 and ), in section 2, township 20,
be condemned for it's use.
1t is asked that jury be APP
pointed to fix the price on the
property to be paid by the railway
company for it's right of way. The
Rev. William II. O'Conncll, Roman
Catholic archbishop of the arch
diocese of Boston, trustee under
the will of John f. Noonan, de-
ceased. is one of the parties inter
ested in this property.

100000 in the parade are mere mil
liOnaires or nearmilliOnaires or
folks of ambitious pretensions, and
certainly they wear fine raiment,
and their women, on or off the
stage, have beauty-and style.
These glad people parade to
show their sparks or see the spark
ling others.
The late Mrs. Astor, leader OF
the 400" for many years, once
decreed that the real aristOcracy'
must not show in the Easter pa
rade, as it was getting common
and therefore vulgar. But, never
theless, few of the great sweets or
grand danes of the avenue can re-
sist the joy of being gaped at by
the throng for a little while of a
pleasant Easter afternoon.
The parade ground is the richest
street in the world. 1t is inhabited
by Americans who have made CO.
lossal fortunes, largely from the
natural resources of the country
and have taken homes at the seat
of aristocracy and financial power.
1t is recorded that there are 35
families with homes in the Fifth
avenue district who measure their
wealth at $100,000,000 or there
abouts, and that there are several
hundred families possessing from
$1O,OOO,OOO to $50,O00,000 Among
the former are old John d., who
never parades; Thos. F. Ryan OF
high finance fame; the Vanderbilt
boys, the Goulds, Sloanes, Bel
flonts, Astofs, Oelrichs, Brokaws,
Goelets, Plants, Stems, Sages, Har-
rimans, Rogers, Twomblys, Clarks,
Iselins, Morgans, Gerrys, Mackays
| Whitneys, Mills, Wormsers, Andy
| Carnegies, Wilson's, Tricks, Whit
neys, Fishs, Leeds, Phipps, ct al
Those possessing around $40,
100000 are, in hackneyed phrase
too numerous to mention.
The parade covers about two
miles of the avenue, and passes
scores of mansions which cost from
100000 to $7,0O0,O00. The land OF
the block between SiXty-eighth
street and Sixty-ninth street sold
for $12,000,000, and there is only
room for six or seven mansions in
the space.
If ore has a taste for rich knicll
knacks or is interested in the
American social problem, the
Easter parade is an interesting
spectacle. The women are more
gorgeously dressed, travelled ones
say, than any to be seen in any
other city of the world. If King
Morgan and all his dukes came out
in their true colors, gold and purple
and ermine, King Eddie's levee
would look somber compared with
a Fifth avenue Easter parade.

BLUEFIELD, Nicaragua (by

The American gunboat Paducah re-
turned today from Greytown, from
which it had been sent to investi-
gate the reported seizure of two
American vessels by insurgents. 1t

A report of the affair has been sent
to Washington by the commander
of the Paducah. 1t is declared here
the blame will be placed on the
Madriz government.
The Paducah, it is believed, will
resist any attempt to attack Blue

protection to American citizens IN
case of an attack by land.
