FIND $40 IN KENNEWiCk
JAIL, IS THEIR STORY
Charles Stewart Has Unique Defense
When Charged With Stealing
Cash from Friend

Charles Stewart was arrested
Wednesday night for taking $40
from the pocket of Jack Donovan.
This, however, is not the remark
able part of the story. Neither is
the fact that Charles admitted TAX
ing the 500. The really interesting
feature is Charles story of Why he
took the 500.
On last Saturday night, according
to Charles, he and Jack were in the
Jail at Kennewick as sleepers. When
they went to bed they found four
$40 bills concealed in the Jail, which
they took away the next morning.
Charles contended that half of the
$40 should be his and he took the
500 out of Donovan's pocket to
square his account.
Donovan admitted that ne was
awake when Stewart distracted the
500, but said that he demonstrated
orally with Mr.. Stewart, which he
constituted an able defense. Stewart
was taken to the prosecuting at
torney, who declined to prosecute,
as the case would not be more than
one of petit Ia ceny. The case was
given hearing in police court yes
terday afternoon and Stewart was
released by the judge with a warn.

officials of Luxor that he would like to
drive around through the ruins of the
Karnek temples and up the avenue of
sphinxes. He thought that was a
petty little formality and that he
could go right ahead. He was mis-
taken. Along came word that the
keeper of the temples must forbid him
from driving about the scenes. Mr..
Morgan's secretary protested that the
former was very Ill and could not walk
any distance Use an invalid chair"
was the suggestion made to the secre-
tary. That left Mr. Morgan in a guam
dairy. He realized that If he were seen
navigating round Luxor in an invalid
chair the report would be flashed all
over the world that he was in his
death sickness. This would have made
wild panic. Just what the financier
said is not reported. but he didn't use
the invalid chair.

~REAT excitement prevailed in
4 Yachting circles and the Amer

Iy interested when the recent
challenge by Sir Thomas Upton for
torrth chance to contest for the Amer

work. Yacht club courteously rejected
,b;s challenge, naming objections to
tho conditions stipulated by the Irish
haronet. a wave of disappointment was
felt.
Rut it was quickly learned that pos
sibilities of another great international
yacht race after the ten years lapse
uere far from gone. An unidentified
vacbtsman of England. it was gos-
s;ned. would surely challenge for
contest against the victorious Ameri
can club.
The rumor also had it that Sir Thorn

challenge by this unnamed yachtsman
when he himself startled America with
his offer to race 1t was his purpose,
an the rumor said. to head off the other
yachtsman.
This rumor is at variance with
statement by Sir Thomas when he is
sued his challenge. Il think that now
is the time for another contest" he
said. ut has been ten years since the

of the sport both in America and

SIR THOMAS Upton AND THE SHAM
ROCK III.
eording to the deed of gift governing
the cup races, the yachts may be of
any length between sixty-fve feet and
ninety feet on the water line. Sir
Thomas sent similar challenge in
lSO7 through the Royal Irish Yacht
ciuD, naming yacht Of eighty feet In
length
Sir Thomas has always objected
enormously to the rule requiring that
the challenging yacht traverse the
ocean under its own sail. He contend
gu tnat such a voyage was hazarding
the lives Of the sailors because of the
Irallness Of the racing vessel and was
seriously harmful to the yacht. He
eontended that the great sea waves
invariably knocked the racing lines of
the vessel out of true.
Speaking Of the dangers of the trip.
he said:

An interesting report has come out
OF the romantic region Of Luxor,

j. Pierpont Morgan in that town. Mr..

When he reached Luxor the various

lot of newspapers were fguratively

ensue incidentally with the expected
death Of Morgan. This alarm after
much wirelessing and telegraphing
with Egypt and Rome was at last
quieted. and Mr.. Morgan's party were
permitted to get out of the news zone.
