and teh lure of the spot light.
Miss Vaughan is an actress, and in
private life, Mrs. Lytell.
Recently a New York actress
said a love marriage between an
actor and actress iE q farce, a
French comedy, a burlesque on the

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. I.
All negotiations for the leasing
by the United States of the Gala
pages islands from Eucador have
been declared off, at least for
the present. They were begun by
Ecuador and favorably considered
by our state department, but the
interest of the Ecuadorean presi-
dent decreased rapidly when an
anti-American mob outside his
palace filed vigorous objection.
Then he announced that 'in def
erence to public sentiment" he
would not proceed with the deal.
Thereupon Uncle Sam said that so
far as he was concerned the plan
was abandoned.
The idea, as advanced by Ecua-
dor, was that the United States
should lease the Galapagos for
500 years for $15,0O0,0O0, as
naval base for Pacific operations
and particularly for the defense
of the Panama canal.
The islands contain many
kinds of snakes and lizards, two

confined to these islands. The
most remarkable animals are the
giant tortoises, by far the largest
in the world, the shell averaging
So inches in length. They have
extremely long necks and small
heads, and large numbers were
taken away and distributed
among ZOOS in various parts of
the world. These are not as
plentiful as they used to be, for
about 100 years ago the Ecuado-
reans' turned loose boatloads of
hungry pigs on the islands, and
they killed thousands of them.
One of these turtles with history
is at Tring PARK, England. It
measures Sc inches by 40 inches
over the curve of the shell. It
was taken from one of the islands
In 1913 to Rotuma, thence to Sgd
ney in 1880, and later to England.
The birds are large and beau
tiful, and some of the species are
not known anywhere else, each
island having its own kind. A
sandpiper is not known any

however, your employee (Mounts)
had made mistake and had
charged a large sum to the dis
trict which should have been
charged to the general fund. Up
on his attention being called to
this he endeavored to partially rec
tify it by charging this 80 odd dol
lars which should have been
charged to the district to the Mol

of the general fund. When this
was Gone the item should, lof

the district payroll for the month
of August, but as a matter of fact
it appears that this was not done

Here is sample answer of Su-
pervisor Mounts to the charges
against him, illustrating his pecu-
liar methods of business, which
ne says are "all right and done
with full knowledge and approval
of the commissioners:
As alleged in paragraph XII
(of the charges against him)
your employee (meaning himsef)
received sos for his services for
81 days work as supervisor.
There also appears upon the pay
roll the sum of $S0S odd dollars
paid to him for work of his teams
upon the Moller-Mahan and Tut
Peacher roads; as a matter of
fact, this team work was not done
upon said roads, but said sum was
in truth the amount which your
employee (Mounts) received to
compensate him for the odd jobs
referred to. and which was all in
cluded as extra team work dur
ing the month of August. (He
admitted before that this extra
team work was not team work at
all, but that he had Jumped a lot
of small jobs which he says he
had paid for with his own money
and sought to get even with the
county by charging team work,
when, in fact, he had no extra
team.)
Just n Mistake
These odd Jobs were done for
the benefit of the whole district
in general and entered upon the
district payroll as set forth in
paragraph III. At prior time,
