Alder Worlds Oldest Dive.

For the purpose of making dyes the
common alder appears to have been
unnoticed by the pioneers of this coun-
TT. who made use of so many barks
and roots. However, 1t was well-known
to the Indians, who used it to good eff
feet. 1t dyes a reddish color, and down
to few years ago was employed by ma
tives of the northwestern Pacific coast
in coloring their fish nets. Alder dye,
used for the same purpose, is said to
be the oldest recorded dye In the world.
It is mentioned in the Kalevala of Fin
land, supposed to date nearly 5000
years ago.

Boise, Idaho.-There are two out
standing developments as the result
of the anti-alien or japanese lobby in
vestigation opened by the senate of
the Idaho legislature on February 81.
The first is that E. NJ Booth, the at
torney who conducted the lobby.
never filed a formal protest with the
state department against the passage
of the anti-alien act, nor did the jap
anese embassy. The second is that
the Japanese government has evil
denced interest in another bill pend
ing before the legislature seeking to
prevent marriage between Mongo-
lians and American girls. 1t was adj
mitted this measure seeks principally
to bar marriage between Japanese
and Americans. The Toxic consul at
Portland, Ore, wired the secretary of
state for the full text of the bill, which
was forwarded. Formal protest
against passage of the measure may
be lodged with the state department
at Washington.
In opening the anti-alien investiga-
ton the senate placed four witnesses
on the stand-Booth, the attorney in.
volved, Senator ]. w. Shields, Mini.
doka county; C. W. Craig, Blackfoot;
Hugh Rankin, Ashton, and Ned Has
brouch, Boise.
On the witness stand Wednesday
Booth admitted that he had been ac-
tive AGAINST tho hill on behalf of the
japanese and because he thought to
pass the measure in face of an inter
ma ional crisis would be un-American
and only bring on greater trouble. He
said the matter of the large fee had
only been mentioned in levity and de-
MED he had ever meant to leave the
impression such a fee would be paid.
He also informed the senate that no
formal protest against the bill he'd
ever been filed by the Japanese gov
eminent with the state department

Famous Burglar Supported at

Preyed Upon.
FEARED IN HIS DAY
Detectives Who Have Guarded Banks
in the East Fifty Years Always
Regarded Noble as Man
Without Equal.

New York.-Dan Noble, famous in
ternational burglar, who once had
S5OO,OOO as his share of a gigantic
robbery, has just died here at the age
of eighty-two years, a pauper, sup
ported by the society he preyed on,
and has been buried by relatives who
are respected members of the COM
munity.
In his day he was feared by bank
ers and watched by detectives. Since
his release from Auburn, December
10, 1899, he had been good" He
went to that prison in 1897 to finish
sentence imposed on him March 3,
1871. In January, 1873, he escaped
from Auburn and during the succeed
ing years led the police of two CONT
nents a most perplexing chase, except
ing when in prison in England and
France.
Detectives who in the last fifty years
have been guarding banks always re-
garded Dan Noble as man without
an equal. He never participated in
small games"
First Big Robbery.
One of his first big robberies was
of the Royal Insurance company in
Wall street in 1866. Negotiable bonds
and other property of the value of ST.
100000 were stolen. Frank Knapp
and Jimmie Griffin, two well-known
characters of that day, were his con-
federates, and all escaped to Canada.
Being arrested there Noble was in
dignant and demanded they be re-
leased on bail. In this way $4,000
went away from them.
The three stuck together, and each
was supposed to have at that time
100000 in cash, obtained by dispos-
ing of the proceeds of the robbery.
They went to EImira, where Noble
tried to become an honest real estate

PRICES REMAIN UNCHANGED

Managers OF local 'tive and ten

10 to Is cents for certain articles be
cause Of. the high cost of merchan

no intimation from Headquarters OF
any proposed increase in prices, and
two Of the store managers expressed
the belief that no such increases
would be forthcoming in the near
future.

manager Of the McCrory stores. "If
