PAP LEWIS. OLDEST
POLICEMAN, DYING
ON HIS NATAL DAY.
Friend of Presidents, Eighty
five Today, Not Expected
to Live Until Night.

On this his eighty-ffth birthday,
Policeman William F. Lewis, known TO
every president since Lincoln as Pap"
Lewis. and the oldest member OF the
Metropolitan Police Department. is not
expected to live until evening. ,.
Stricken with paralysis several days
ago. the veteran White House guard.
who constantly has watched over the
Executive Mansion for so many years,
has been daily sinking. This morning
1t was stated at his home, 1901 New
Jersey avenue northwest, that all hope
for his living through the day had been
abandoned, .t.E 30.
Policeman Lewis lapsed into uncon-
sciousness last night, and today he has
been unable to recognize any members
Of his family. or understand anything
spoken to him.
Beginning his duties at the White
House when Lincoln was President,
Pap" Lewis has had a remarkable
career as a policeman; Intimately &C
Presidential family since that time, as
we'll as the thousands OF men and
women connected with the Executive
Mansion in an official capacity during
the blue uniform of the Metropolitan
Police Department with as extensive
acquaintance.
Before losing consciousness yesterday.
Lewis was the first to recall that his
eighty-fifth birthday was to occur to-
day. I'm afraid that I will not be
able to celebrate 1t as l have celebrat-
ed natal days in the past" he said. al
am growing weak. Maybe I'll last
through that day. but l doubt it,
For the last few years. Lewis's du-
ties at the White House have been as
light as they could be made. He has
had charge of the mail in the Executive
Offices.

LETTER WRITER
STILL MYSTERY
TO THE POLICE
Detectives Redouble Efforts
to Locate Unidenti-
fed Man.

Renewed efforts were made by the
police today to get some clue to tie
Identity of the anonymous writer ac-
cused Of sending insulting letters to
married women. A three weeks searcn
for the man has availed nothing. and
the police are convinced he knows they
are on his trail
The police still refuse to give out the
names Of the women, who have received
these letters. They will not be made
public unless the writer Is arrested.
and the case taken to court.
From the letters. the police are Of
opinion that the man has lived in Wash
ington for years. He knows the names
Of friends of the women to whom he
has written. In all of the letters, h,
has asked the women to make appoint
=. n+s to meet him, saying that in view
Of the fact that they have mutual
friends there would be no harm in 1t.
Some of the letters. 1t is said. con-
tain veiled threats to. expose something
detrimental to the women, who fail to
make appointments. The man has
concealed his identity by signing fcti-
tious names, instructing the women TO
write him care general delivery"
There are several letters waiting fer
him at the general delivery window cf
the city postoffice. and the police say
that II he had not been tipped of,
he would have called for them.
The police say that unless there
should be unexpected developments,
they have little hupe of arresting tie
man, although they will not drop the
case until every possible clue has beer
run down. The stationery on which he
wrote to the women Is plain white,
Euch as can be bought at a hundred
different places. and, therefore, there Is
no way Of obtaining a clue from the
envelopes or paper. All the letters
were mailed at ;he city postoffice,
making 1t impossible to determine the
part Of the city in which the man lives
from that source.

counties is apparent in this Sec

has been raised from 25 cents,
formerly charged by the Inde-

by the Bell company, to 50cents.
This is paying for the consolida-

subscribers are also charged toll
when talking to Payette. No

bined with correct knowledge of
the effects of over-indulgence in al
coholic stimulauts, is the only thing
that will produce a race OF tenn
perate people. If the mothers and
fathers of Idaho. instead of trying
to save their boy by legislation, will
devote their time and the talents
Nature has given them to training
that boy in the paths of rectitude
and right living, there will be no
need for sumptuary laws to guide
him to the Pearly Gates.
Alcoholic beverages always have
been, and always will be used. We
believe it better to have them dis
pensed by a responsible citizen than
by a bootlegger. Throw all the re-
striction you wish around their sale;
but make 1t possible for them to be
purchased iegitimately, and boot
logging will cease, and runkenness
be diminished. You can protect
your boy to some extent from the
saloon keeper; you can't protect
him from the bootlegger, But hi:
only sure protection must come
from the character you build il
him.
