PARK SWAN DISAPPEARS.
Believed to Be Somewhere Along
River Below City.

One of the big white swans that have
for several years added attractiveness
to Rock Creek Park is now supposed
to be somewhere in the river stretches
between Washington and Alexandria,
and the police of both cities are maxi
ing every effort to locate the bird.
1t is believed the swan went down
Rock creek during the high water re-
sulting from the recent heavy rains.
It can easily be distinguished from the
wild swans that occasionally appear
in the Potomac, as the wild swans
have black beaks, while the beak or
the missing bird is yellow.
Hunters, fishermen and persons nv-
ing along the river are requested by
the police to report IL the swan 10
seen, and the request is also made that
hunters who may see a swan refrain
from shooting until they are certain
the bird is a wild one and not the
swan that has wandered away from
Rock Creek Park

DEMONSTRATION MADE
OF REAL LIFE "TRILBY'
Fanciful Tale of Transformation
Fully Justified, in Opinion of
Medical Scientists.

PHILADELPHIA. May 15.-Medical
scientists in session here at the con-
vention of the American Laryngological
Society heard a most wonderful dem
onstration which fully justified Du
Maurier's fanciful tale Of the trans
formation OF "Trilby's" unmusical
voice into that of an accomplished
singer.
The psychical illustration was given
by DR.. Frank E. Miller of New York,
who reported an interesting case in
which the patient was girl who had
been in the habit Of meeting singers
In the physicians Office, where she
was employed, and had expressed a
desire to go upon the operate stage.
Under Hypnotic influence.
Realizing that her voice was one of
mediocrity, she asked to be hypnotized
and allowed to sing to the accompa-
niment of the photograph. DR.. Miller
accommodatingly made the experiment
and the effect was true to the story of
Du Maurier.
Voices of well known soprano and
tenor singers were reproduced on the
monograph at yesterdays demonstra-
ton. and to each the young girl sang
with perfect ease. While In the hyp-
motto state she was taken about the
spacious amphitheater Of the College
OF Physicians and Surgeons and intro
duced to the assembled physicians and
scientists who were in attendance.

LIGHT VOTE IS SURPRISING
Clark Leads Wilson by Probably
10000.
COLONEL GETS EVERY COUNTY
Resentment Among Mare Island
Employees Is Said to Have Hurt
Taft in Vallejo.

SAN FRANCISCO. May 15-Returns
today from yesterdays state presidential
preference primary are useful only to
determine the exact pluralities rolled up
by Theodore Roosevelt and Champ Clark
over their respective opponents for the
republican and democratic presidential
nominations. Roosevelts plurality is
estimated at between 10000 and $4,000
over Taft and La Toilette; Champ Clark
leads Woodrow Wilson by probably
10000.
Throughout the state the vote was
compa ratively light. This Is regarded as
surprising in view Of the strenuous cam
paign waged for the republican prefer
ence, and the keen interest that every
where was manifest by the crowds drawn
by campaign orators.
Colonel Gets Every County.
Roosevelt probably carried every
county. Even San Francisco. where a
determined effort was made by the Taft
managers to make a good showing for
| their candidate, favored the colonel by
plurality OF 3,437. Roosevelt carried Los
Angeles by more than to /.
Senator La Toilette found consolation
only in San Diego. which returned him
his only plurality in any division OF the
state. The Industrial Workers of the
World troubles there are said to have
made sentiment for him in that section,
| the theory being that the citizens re-
scented an investigation ordered by Gov.
johnson, a Roosevelt supporter.
Clark's Victory Sweeping.
Champ Clark's victory over Woodrow
Wilson was sufficiently sweeping to 1usti-
fly the prediction claims Of his cam
paign managers. He also probably car
ried every county. and when tho count
is complete 1t is expected that he will
lead Wilson by nearly to 1. No or
ganized effort was made in behalf OF any
other democratic candidate, and the con-
test between Clark and Wilson was tame
beside the campaigns waged by the re-
publicans.
Resentment Of Navy Yard Men.
A feature Of the election was the vote
of Vallejo. For the first time in the ais
tory of general elections there govern
ment employees at the Mare Island navy
yard were not given time of to vote. and
it is declared that resentment resulting
from the government order to that effect
Influenced the vote. which stood: Roose-
Welt. 572; La Toilette, 400; Taft, 26!
Taft's best showing was made In the
northern California counties, notably in
the San Joaquin valley. where anti-Japa-
nese sentiment Is strong and where the
fight made against the Japanese attitude
of the former President found reflection
in the vote cast against him In many OF
the precincts
The twenty-six delegates won by Roose-
Welt and Clark yesterday are pledged to
give their respective candidates their sup
port.

L. A. combiss and Harry Allen of
 GreeneviIIe Fined S in City Court.


 In the city court Monday morning John Besing, who gave much resistance on Saturday night to Officer Royston on upper Mckinley avenue, was fined S5 and costs. amounting to $12.62, George l., Herriek, who attempted to geat meal the same night at a Franklin square restaurant without paying for it, was sentenced the actual costs of the case, SS66, and released.
 For exceeding the speed limit on their motorcycles on Aug. 13, L. A. Combies and Harry Allen were ar rested In Greeneville on Saturday morning and brought into police court before Judge Brown. The young men pleaded guilty. Daniel Coburn, weight master for A. D. Lathrop's coal yard, told how he had seen the two try to make Seventh street hill on their ma chimes by starting from North Main street and crossing Central avenue at full speed, Allen said he believed he was making 40 miles an hour crossing Central avenue and Combies thought he was going over the limit. The fact that the young men had not had their machines but five weeks and three months respectively accounted for the fact that their names were not in the state directory and that there was a delay in prosecution owing to the time it took to get their names from the state secretary's office at Hart ford. Judge Brown urged the necessi- ty of familiarity with the law and he nolled the cases on the payment of $5 each.
 James Topulos was fined s and costs, amounting to $9.7S, for engaging in a fight with Louis Grooss at the United States Finishing company on Aug, 27 and thereby committing a breach of the peace.
