DISHWASHER
Won WoelIWarth Leaves Trail
of Unpaid Bills and Unhap-
py Creditors

Baron G. Won Woellwarth, recently
a social lion in the vicinity of Homo
lulu, IL missing and his loss is
mourned by number of acquaint-
ances made by the glib-tongued Wis
itor, who maintain they are finan-
cially put out over the unexpected
and Sunannounced departure Of the
baron, who, until a few days ago had
announced his intention of establish
ing riding school in this city that
would make kindred institutions on
the coast resemble pigstys. Not only
are members OF the social elect
peeved over the exodus of Won Woell-
warth and the thoughtless manner in
which he forgot 20 straighten out his
financial obligations, but others, in
the more plebeian walks of life and on
lower rounds OF the social ladder, are
mourning his departure, including a
lowly German policeman who confess
es to having been touched for $3.50 by
the titled parsonage.
The police department armed with
two warrants, is maintaining sharp
lookout for Won Woellwarth, but to
date has been unsuccessful in uncov-
ering his hiding place, provided he
has not made his escape already,
through his experience as a seagoing
flunky before he adopted the more
aristocratic and remunerative profes-
sion of ''baroning.'
No Deposit Was Made.
Baron" Won Woellwarth escaped
pressure from some creditors on the
strength of an impression, probably
sown abroad by himself, that he had
made a deposit of $4,000 with the
Henry Waterhouse Trust Co., Ltd,
upon the option for the purchase of, a
site for his riding academy. 1t hap
pens that he had not paid 5 cents on
that account
The baron came in here looking for
a site for his riding academy" said
President R. W. Shingle of the COM
pany mentioned, this morning. He
was referred to Mr. Steere, head of
the real estate department, who Of
fered him the old McCully homestead
at Pawaa-an ideal site for the pur-
pose. He was to pay $4,000 for the
of which $4,000 was to be
paid on July %, time being allowed

MARKET HELD BACK
BY POLITICS
MOST ISSUES ENJOY SLOW AD-
VANCE, BUT NEW DEALS ARE
AWAITING THE FUTURE.

New York, March 3.-~Operations on
the long side of the stock market were
conducted confidently today, For the
present ut least, there is 4 reaction
from the extreme pessi4nism OF The
last few weeks.
Supply of stocks was limited and
bear traders We're unable to discover
a weak spot of any Importance in the
list. No attempt was made to force
UP prices with a rush, but the SLOW,
creeping advance went on virtually
without interruption until many of the
leading stocks had gained two or
three points. The coppers, Pacific and
Steel were in especial demand. There
was some profit-taking toward the
close, which scaled down prices.
1t was assumed that national poll
tics would hold first place this week
in the talk Of the street. Political
considerations have played such a
large part in the decline of the last
few weeks that traders We're inclined
to await definite indications of the
attitude of the new administration be-
fore entering IN extended new COM
mitments.
An important factor in the days ad-
vance was London buying.
Amalgamated was in good demand
from abroad and there was consider
able buying of steel, Canadian Pacific
and Fries.
The advance in the copper stocks
was a sequence to the rise in the
metal markets. London reported a
considerably higher range of prices
and in the domestic market there was
a stronger tone.
The worldwide demand for money
and the poor showing of the banks
last week were reflected in the strong
tone of the money market.
Call funds opened at Az per cent.
The bond market was firm. Total
sales, par value, 81 900.
United States bonds were unchanged
on call.

NEW MEXICO SENATOR SAYS
BORDER PATROL ABUSED
AMERICAN CITIZENS.

Washington, March 3.-lAh attack
on the policy pursued hy the United
States in %patrolling the Mexican Dor
der during the Mexican revolutions
was made in the senate today by
Senator Fail of New Mexico, a mem
ler Of the special investigating COM
n1ittee that has conducted a recent in
N~cstigation into border conditions.
Senator Fall declared that the COM
mlttee in ADMINISTRATION along the
border from San Diego, Cal, to New
Orleans, had come in contact fire.
q~uently with cases where the armed
forces of the United states had been
used to arrest American citizens on
American soil.
The American troops have been
used to Cypress American citizens in
their own country" Senator FAN said,
instead of being used to protect them
when they were being robbed and
murdered on this side of the border
line. Americans have been thrown
into prison and deprived of life and
liberty.
This is not a single instance, but
a condition that has been general
along the border for over a year"
Senator Fail reviewed, in some de-
tail. the testimony taken by the spe-
eial committee, of WHICH Senator
smith of Michigan was chairman. lie
said that scores of witnesses resi-
dent in Mexico testified to the fact
that they had been attacked simply
because of their American citizenship.
The United states, he said, had eX-
tended no protection to these people
We would be much more luStltleo
in sending troops into Mexico than we
were in sending marines into Mica
ragua," he declared.

! buildings, executive and sundry civil
bills.
In a general political love-feast to-
night the republicans of the house pre-
| scented a watch to Representative
James r. Mann of Illinois, the minor
ity leader, and the democrats pre-
sented a silver fruit dish to Charles
r. Crisp, parliamentary clerk, who en-
ters the next house as a member from
Georgia. A recess of Is minute vas
taken by the house to allow time for
the presentation.
The senate adopted the conference
report on the postoffice bill by n vote
of AZ to II, without making any change
in the railroad mail DAY or the blue
tag provision. AS the measure has
been approved by the house, it was
prepared at once for submission to the
president. The senate then took up
the public buildings bill in another
effort to pass that measure as it came
from the conference committee.
The galleries of the senate and
house were filled with spectators at
midnight.
The house passed the Wilson sea-
mems bill tonight as amended by the
senate. The bill now goes to the presi-
dent for his signature. The measure
provides strict regulations for the
hours of labor of sailors, and food and
compensation on vessels, and includes
a provision that officers must be able
to make members of a crew under
stand orders.
The bill is the result of agitation
that followed the Titanic disaster.
Another effort to secure an agree
mcnt by the house to the senate
amendment to the navy appropriation
bill providing for two battlcships and
thus break the deadlock in conference
on the measure failed shortly after
midnight. The house confcrceS re-
ported a disagreement and Representa-
tive Foss of Illinois moved that the
house agree to the tWo-battleship
proposition. Majority Leader Under
wood led the debate against the two
hattleship amendment. On oil call
the house voted to insist upon it's one-
battleship provision, 16S to 14i. The
house requested a further conference.
All attempts OF enact the workmen's
compensation bill We're abandoned in
the senate. Senator Sutherland. in
charge of the bill, assured Senator
Hoke Smith, opposed to the measure,
that he considered it futile to press
the bill and would lot do SO.
