MONGOLIA'S
FAKE CASTRO

8. r. Call. The probably misplaced
energy OF a Honolulu reporter was
responsible for an international com.
edy OF errors on board the liner Mon.
golia, which arrived here yesterday
from the far east On the register Of
q Honolulu hotel the newsgatherer
saw the name Baron Julius de Cas-
tro" The name Castro reminded him
Of Venezuela, and when the visitor
declined TO be interviewed the reporter
concluded that the Julius" was worn
as a disguise and that the guest, who
had arrived from Australia on the
liner Moana, was really Cipriano Cas-.
tro, the former president of Vene-
zuela, who lost his job and country a
couple Of years ago.
It was a redhot story for Honolulu,
and when the reporters paper ap-
peared next morning a picture Of the
former dictator of Venezuela covered
part Of the front page. The picture
was accompanied by an article which
| carried the suggestion that the "mys.
FERROUS" visitor was Cipriano himself
Now, the baron no more resembles
Cipriano than the Mongolia looks like
a Chinese Junk. He was amused at the
story, but a little indignant, for the
reason, he explained yesterday, that he
was a "de" Castro, and in Italy it was
well known that the de" Castpos
moved in very much better society
than the Castros without the de"
By a strange chance, however, there
was on board the Mongolia a Portu.
guese banker from Macao, who looked
enough like Cipriano Castro to sit for
the ex-dictator's picture. The bankers
name is Jose Benevides.
The Honolulu paper with the Castro
picture came on board just before the
Mongolia sailed. Within a few minutes
Benevides was being pointed out as
the eX-president of Venezuela As
Beneyides English was as Indifferent
as the Portuguese Of his follow pas
sengers, he was unable to put them
right. The constant rubbering annoy
ed him, and through a fellow country
man, Judge Jose M. Vidal of Macao,
he explained to as many as would lis
ten that he was not Castro.
When the liner arrived here yester-
day Benevides was in a state of ner-
Uous irritation that lent color to the
report that he was Cipriano. 1t was
learned that at Hongkong he had
given his birthplace as England, at
Honolulu he told the immigration PEG.
pie that he was born in Turkey and on
the Mongolia's manifest he is describ.
ed as a native of Portugal. Henri Gil.
son, French consul at Shanghai, who
was a passenger on the Mongolia, cor.
roborated the bankers declaration
that his name was Benevides, but adj
vised the banker to have his chin
whiskers removed if he wished to avoid
/ trouble in the United States.

A new association has been incor-
porated under the laws of Idaho as a
fair and racing association. They
have purchased from Mrs. Barrett,
her 6O-acre tract one mile east of the

secured enough adjacent property to
give them room for one Of the finest
mile tracks 10 the west. They will
erect grandstand with a seating
capacity OF 8, 900; rows of stables will
be built with accommodation for
500 horses, club house. paddocks,
judges stand and many other smaller
buildings, which will entail an ex-
penditure Of many thousands of
dollars. 1t will require heavy force
of men and teams TO complete the

Much interest is taken in Spokane
in the announcement that the main
exchange of the girless telephone will
open there April 10th.
It will start off with 5000 tele.
phones in use. The intricate mechan.
ism by which subscribers automatical.
ly connect their phones to their
neighbors' will be thrown open to
public gaze. During the afternoon
and evening, thousands will visit the
exchange.
More than million dollars has
been invested 10 the plant. It has
81, 250 miles Of wire, 100 miles OF
cable, 1876 miles of pole line and SO
miles of conduit.
The plant has wire capacity for
$4,000 telephones so that the future
growth Of the business will require no
reconstruction OF the plant.
Girless telephones are said to be
maintained successfully IN 100 large
cities in the United States and have
long since passed the experimental
stage.

Arbor Day.

Under Idaho's law, Arbor Day
is appointed by the county SUI
perintendent of schools. In some
counties the dates have already
been fixed. That for Nez Perce
usually comes some time in April.
The custom is one of both utility
and sentimental significance, and
should be honored by general OBJ
servance.
Originated in Nebraska ihirty-
eight years ago, the day is now
observed in forty-four states and
has even spread to Canada, Eng
land, Italy, Australia, Sweden,
Spain, South Africa and New
Zealand. BY general cooperation
of public authorities and private
citizens the day can be made the
occasion Of great public benefit.
Not only tree planting, but park
and street improvement in various
ways should be aided by the pro-
per observance Of Arbor Day.

Wedding Fees In New York.

Large wedding fees are rare even in
New York. Fees of $50 and 500 are
considered large. The $1,000 fee when
1t makes It's appearance usually goes
to the rector of a wealthy cOngrega-
ton who enjoys salary Of $4,000 or
$4,000 a year. Larger fees are some
times given. The man Of wealth, ac-
tuated by high regard for his pastor
and friend, occasionally gives his
check for $1,000 or $1,000 under the
guise of wedding fee. He wishes to
help the minister and knows the money
would not be accepted under any other
circumstances. Such gifts, it is need
less to say, are extremely rare New
York has few clergymen whose mar
riage fees average 1920 year. The
pastor Of large Presbyterian church
on Broadway has estimated that his
fees amount annually to $1,000. These
are topnotch figures.-Christian Her

FORMING MONEY TRUST
Wall Street Sees Big Combine

DRIVE OUT SMALL BANKS

Wall street is buzzlnP with the re-
port that the Morgan Rockefeller and

to force all the small banks and trust
companies in the country out OF bust.
ness. Their purchase of the Bank OF
Commerce, the Equitable Trust and
other companie; is taken as the first
blow in the campaign.
The ostensible purpose OF the com
bination's move, Wall street believes,
will be to prevent scandals Ia the
banking world, but the real purpose,
1t Is said, is the formation of money
trust to dominate the country and to
gobble up the proposed central bank.
Financiers say that only prompt &C.
tion BY the government can prevent
the scheme going through.

Notwithstanding denials. fnanciers
assert there is no doubt that the huge

The probable reason given for the

to curb the money trust.

Major George Owen Squier of the
signal corps, United States army, who
recently invented device for multi
plcx telephony, has solved the prob
lem of simultaneously transmitting
two or more messages over the same
wire. A notable feature of the inven-
tion is that 1t has been made and pat
cnted for the benefit of the public.
The essence Of the new invention is
the utilization of the earth itself in
lieu Of one of the wires that hitherto
have been considered necessary to
complete circuit for telephony. This
principle was applied to telegraphy
some years ago, revolutionizing that
service. At that time, thirty years
ago, Thomas A. Edison predicted that
the principle would some day be ap-
piled to telephony. Now it has come,
and the prophecy has been fulfilled.
Explaining his invention, Major
Squier said: "It means that the time
will soon come when telephony will
cost little more than nothing. We
shall use one single wire as a guide
line for wireless messages. That sin
gle wire holds the messages from 60
ing off into the atmosphere
Major Squier is a native Of Michi-
gan and Is forty-five years old. He
entered West Point in 1883 and was
graduated four years later. He is
assistant chief signal officer Of the
United States army.

What Decision Means.
A Occur d'Alene dispatch SAYS;

A Occur dAlene dispatch says:
The decision Of the supreme court
at Lewiston that the Washington
Water Power company possesses the
right to condemn land for power
purposes indicates an early settle
ment of the go cases pending in the
district court against the company
for flooding lands along the st. Joe
river, the Occur d'Alene river and
around the lake.
Attorneys say the decision means
that the company can, by condem--
nation proceedings, acquire the land
necessary to raise the lake, not only
10 feet above mean level 2128 feet,
but to any height found practicable
for reservoir purposes.
This decision is taken to mean the
restoration Of the company's franchise
or permit TO food some 624O acres
along the st. Joe river from Chatco-
let to st. Maries, for which the
company paid $l.25 per acre TO the
Indians.
1t means that the company can
dredge the bar from the mouth Of the
river. doubling the capacity OF the
lake as reservoir without condemn
ing and purchasing more land than
has thus far been flooded.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION
Washington Water Power Co.
Wins Suit.
MAY OVERFLOW LANDS
To Store Water For Electric
Power Purposes.

A sweeping victory was recorded Ia
favor Of the Washington WaterPower
company Of Spokane at Lewiston,
March 20, when the Idaho supreme
court handed down a decision 10 the
appeal of the company against Charles
Waters and others from the Judgment
OF the lower court In Kootenai coun-
W which awarded damages to the
defendants for the overflow OF lands
IN Kootenai county. and reversing
the Judgment OF the lower court.
The case is one phase OF the sue
cesslon OF suits involving the right OF
the power company to condemn lands
for establishing reservoirs for power
purposes where lands of settlers in
the st. Joe and Occur d'Alene river
valleys are flooded, that has attracted
the attention Of the federal aud state
courts for the past couple OF years.
The court holds that In compliance

or the right.of-way for the construc-
tion Of canals, bitches, fumes, etc,

John d. Gray Of Wallace and c.. L
Heitman Of Rathdrum represented
the Water Power company and A. G
Kerns of Wallace the defendants.
The decision is regarded as the
most important ever rendered relative
to use OF waters OF a state by public
utilities corporations and private
concerns for manufacturing purposes
