Man to Realization Of What He
Made Away With.

AaEEL
One night last week papa got home
late. There had been so many things
to attend to at the office-and after
that a customer from out OF town had
arrived, and-well, papa got home
awfully late. He hated to disturb the
family, SO he camped in the dining
room. And in the morning, being thirs-
ty, he arose, drank water, and retired
under the table again.
Then came his little son, the earliest
to arise. Little son viewed the situa-
ton in the dining room, then lifted up
his voice and wept.
Whats the matter??" groaned papa.

water In that glass aquarium you gave
me for Christmas"

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 8.
-(By United Press. )-Fearing
complications which might prove
serious the administration today
is discussing the propriety of hav-
ing Special Emissary to the Pres
ident John Lind remain on the
battleship New Hampshire in
Vera Cruz until further notice.
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan received communication
today from Charge d'Affairs
O'Shaughnessy in Mexico City
saying that Lind would be unwel-
come in Mexico City unless Huer-
ia was recognized as president.
The president and Bryan discuss
ed the situation but no action was
taken and no action will be taken
until Lind reaches Vera Cruz.
The administration insists that
Huerta's attitude toward Lind is
a bluff.
But IL Lind is molested the gov
ernment will face a situation
identical with the blowing up of
the battleship Maine in Havana
harbor and any indignity offered
to Lind will virtually amount to
an act of war which will necessi-
tate an armed reprisal. Lind is
scheduled to arrive in Vera Cruz
tonight.

Earl Taylor, the Portland youth
acknowledged by the police to be
the cleverest diamond swindler IN
the Northwest, will have to stand
trial in the criminal court because
of the admission by his mother,
Mrs. Leftridge, that he is almost
20 years Of age. He had claimed
to be 10, and was in the care of
Public Morals Officer Jurisch be-
cause of his supposed youthful
ness.
1t has also been learned by the
police that H. L. Taylor of Port
land is not the young mans faith
er but is his uncle. His father
died when he was mere youth
and Taylor was practically a par
ent to him.
The young man is more or less
a paradox. One minute he will
make a statement, then turn
about and contradict it. He read

rectly charged with them, but not

diamonds from three stores in
Seattle, but denies having robbed
elsewhere, outside of Tacoma.

Taylor is believed to be holding
something back. for he has inti-
mated that If it were made worth
his while he would tell the true
facts of all his crimes. Still, his
statements are so unreliable, it is
hard to tell when he is telling the
truth.
Taylor looks young and is
small in stature. 1t is hard to
understand how, the police say.

ance, the jewelers. allowed him to
handle valuable stones. He rs
said to have told them that he
was going to get married and
wanted ring.
Jeweler s. A. Andrews, one of
the local merchants who was rob-
bed by the ''lkid diamond thief"
will probably be the first COM
plainant to file an official charge
against Taylor. Arrangements
were made today by the police
with Deputy Prosecutor Askren
for a speedy arraignment of the
young mulatto. The boy is at
present held in a cell of the iu-
lvenile ward at police headquar-
ters.
