About this remarkable record
is woven the story of the Sings
by changeling baby case, which
involves the history of two years
investigation into the charges
that the child rf a Geyserville
high school girl was substituted
for the heir to the million-dollar
estate of the late Rev. Chas.
Slingsby of Yorkshire, England.
Here is the story:
Lieut.. Chas. Henry Slingsby of
the British navy, elder son of
Rev. Chas. Slingsby, was
estranged from his family for
marrying an American girl.
According to British law, the
estate of father goes to the old
est son, and in case of the sons
death, the estate becomes the
property of the second son, pro-
Hdfng the first son is not the ia
Their of a boy, in which case the
estate goes to this child, cutting
off the brothers completely.
In 1910 Lieut.. Chas. Slingsby
fell heir to his fathers estates.

CITY POWER
PLANT is A
WINNER

The municipal power plant is
already beginning to fatten up
the exchequer Of the light de
partment.
The report for December has
just been made up and 1t shows
the light and water department
came out with a net profit over
operating expenses of $46,999.26,
The light bills amounted to
$53,796.45 and the operating
cost was s26,101.72, leaving q
profit of $27,694.73.
In the month the city paid
$10,571 to Stone-Webster for
power but it used $23,75O worth
of juice from the Nisqually plant.
The bill for power was because
all the service was not cut over
yet. Hereafter the profit will
be larger.
This $23,750 worth of Mis-
qually juice cost the city just
$1,045 for operating expenses at
the power plant.
The water plant also made a
good profit. The bills amounted
to $23,350.15 and the expenses
were $14 ,051.62, leaving a profit
of 9,29S.53.

BOISE, Ida, Jan. 23:-Before
a joint session of the Idaho legis-
lature, who, by party vote, unani-
mously returned him to the
United States senate, Senator
Borah today has declared for the
recall of Secretary of the Interior
Fisher. In a speech before the
legislators, Borah said: 1--WE hear
a great deal these days about
the recall of the judiciary, the
initiative and referendum, but IL
there Is one place the recall 10
needed, it is on the secretary OF
the interior of this country. The
people should take from the
hands of this man the usurping
power he is exercising against
the settlers of the west. I say
this at this time, in this manner,
to serve notice of how l feel on
this matter"

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-In-

gressional investigation into the
garment workers strike in New
York, is expected today by Victor
l.. Berger, socialist congressman

The investigation that has been
in progress for the last two years
has been instituted by members
of the Slingsby family in Eng
land for the purpose of proving,
if possible, that the alleged son
of Mrs. Lieut.. Slingsby was
adopted and a changeling and
not entitled to share in the
Slingsby wealth.
The Investigators maintain
that the baby is the son of Lillian
Anderson of Geyesville, Cal, and
was obtained by a newspaper ad-
vertisement which was answered
by DR.. w. w. Frazier of Weaver
vile, Cal, who altered the birth
certificate of the child so it would
read as being that of Mrs. Sings
by.
Lieut.. Slingsby and his wife
maintain that all this commotion
is conspiracy for the purpose of
discrediting their baby so the
Slingsbys in England can get pos
session of the property to which
this son is justly entitled.
