Inspector Hughes Irritate6 by
Denial of Kidnapping from
Fathers of Two Boys Who
Are Now Missing

The rule OF the Black Hand is becoming
more powerful among the Italians in New
York. the police admitted yesterday at
Headquarters The present outbreak or
kidnappings and bomb throwing. II was
said. has furnished a further proof Of the
powerlessness Of the police to prevent eX-
tortion among the Italians because of the
refusal of the aggrieved persons them
selves to help the police in their work.
Inspector Hughes was particularly net
tied Yesterday when his men reported 10
him that Nincenzo ISABELLA. who had told
the police that his -year-old son was
kidnapped on July 81. declared his boy
was not kidnapped and that he did not
want the assistance Of the police. ON
ton Of this came the declaration Of Leon
ardo Quartrano that he did not believe
his boy has been stolen, but he was sim
rIv missing" and the absolute denial
that he ever received any threatening let
tiers or demands for money, directly or in
directly.

Dan Hacketts shoe shop is moving

This is fact and history. But q few

that building the shop was moved
across Yakima avenue to the oppo-

a year was at rest until someone de-

COl0MS1 TRAVEL IS
UNUSUALLY HEAVY
Trains From the East Are Garry
ing Extra Sleepers and Are
Filled With Travellers

Northern Pacific trains through
North Yakima are carving scores Of
fasteners to the west side of the
state. The colonist rates are now
effective and the trains are carrying
extra sleepers and running behind
time as a consequence. Some Of the
travellers left the train at North Yak
ina but practically all went through
to the sound. having purchased tick
cts good for that distance and hav-
ing the intention of seeing the sound
cities before definitely locating. A
number of those who went beyond
this city expressed their intention OF
returning. 1t is the belief of railroad
people that the westward movement
of population for the next few weeks
will eclipse anything previously seen
and this seems altogether reasonable
as the growth of this country alone
has added immensely to the drawing
power.
Summer tourist rates from the east.
following the spring colonist rates
now in effect and for Pacific coast
points, will be effective June ! to
September 80. with a return limit to
October 81 and good for stopovers at
all important points, and allowing
returns by variable routes. The rate
from st. Paul will be $4,000; st.
Louis. $1,000. Rates from further
east will be the same as those or last
year and it is expected that large
number of people will take advan-
tage of them.

CONGRESSMAN CLARK
Says HE'S AVAILABLE
Says Democrats Might Go Farther
and Fare Worse for
Candidate

CHICAGO, March 14.-Congressmau
the house of representatives, amended
the saying GO west, young man" to
go south, young man." Clark headed
off the newspapermen who sought to
ask questions pertaining to other mat
tiers and insisted they should first
learn something" about the South
Land.
After discoursing on the advantages
of the south, Clark was induced TO
admit that he would make a good
presidential candidate" He said:
well, the democratic party might go
farther and fare worse and l think
it will"
He was willing to discuss all sub
jects except woman suffrage and the
Lorimer case. OF the former, he said
he knew when to let well enough
alone. He prophesied victory for the
reciprocity measure and said of the
tariff, 1--WE can get by Taft with few
schedules we could never get past with
whole bills"
Clark intimated that if the republi-
cans in the next house did not like
the committee appointments they
could go hang for all the good 1t
would do them. Only he said it this
way: '"Those who don't like the ap-
pointments can take advantage of the
great American privilege of cussing.
Clark lectured tonight at a local
church. He insisted on calling it a
lecture" saying: "A speech is where
you talk for nothing, you get paid
for a lecture"

SHADE TREES
As IMPROVEMENTS
Plan to Include in the Regular
Estimates for Sidewalks
and Curling

City Engineer Doolittle learned from
the city attorney yesterday that 1t Is
possible for property owners, in or
dering improvements, to include in
them shade trees to be placed along
the curbing. At the meeting Monday
evening of the Boulevard Addition I'm
provement club, the city engineer took
up with them the matter of securing
walks and curbing. He was asked t"
prepare figures to present at the next
meeting of the city council and then
the matter of shade trees, was dis
cussed
Mr.. Doolittle was not aware that
such improvements could be contract
ed and paid for as were sidewalks
and paving. 1t is probable that this
improvement will be included in the
resolution of intention to be pre-
sented to the council. The people of
the Boulevard addition feel that this
will be a great help in improving the
city and Mr.. Doolittle believes that

ULTIMATUM SENT
BY RUSSIANS TELLS
CHINA THEIR DECREE

PEKIN, March 14.-Russian Min
lister M. Korotovetz, delivered Rus
sia's ultimatum to the Chinese foreign
board this afternoon. 1t caused much
surprise among officials who seemed
not to realize the gravity of the
crisis. Korostovetz last week Tor a
second time requested permission on
behalf Of his government to establish
quarantine stations along the Amur
and elsewhere on the frontier.
China viewed this as an infringe
ment on her integrity and the Rus
sian minister notified them that his
reply would be given today. in the
meantime. Korostovetz was requested
to obtain further explanation from
St. Petersburg, whereupon the Rus
sian government evidently decided
there was no further use in parleying.
