Eight -Year-Old Belgian
Arrives as Stowaway
Youngest of War Orphans to
Reach Here Is Adopted by
Army Nurse

A Belgian boy, eight years old, the
youngest Of some ten or twelve stowa-
ways to come here from the little
kingdom of King Albert, arrived yes
terday from Bordeaux on the Spanish
liner Alfonso XIII. Like most of the
other waits who have drifted to these
shores, his father was killed In action
and his mother died from the hard
ships imposed by the German occupa-
ton Of Belgium.
His name is Harry Valentine, and he
wore an improvised uniform Of the
A. E. F. He was born in Antwerp, and
wandered about that city with little to
eat or wear until the Americans came
along. Then he attached himself to
the 106th Supply Train and followed it
to Bordeaux.
1t was no secret tnac the homeless
little fellow intended to hide aboard
the Alfonso, and a husky but good
natured guard at every gangplank saw
to it that he remained ashore. A few
hours before the vessel sailed the child
was invited to the rear end Of the pier
and there hoisted aboard by rope
He was found soon after the vessel
sailed for New York and recorded as a
stowaway, but he Jared we'll and a good
word was spoken for him when he fell
into the hands Of the immigration off,
cials on arrival yesterday.
Miss Lillian Foster, an army nurse,
Of Rochester, N. Y, offered to adopt
him and it is likely that no will be re-
leased to-day from Ellis Island in her
custody.
The Alfonso XIII brought home 1918
officers and men.

Former Sheriff of N. Y.
Robbed in Daylight
Crowd Watches Gang Relieve
Crifenhagen of Everything
Save Badge and Papers

Ten or twelve gang members, who
had no respect whatever for a mans
former greatness, fell upon Max s.
Grifenhagen, former Sheriff of New
York County, at Thirty-second Street
and Tenth Avenue yesterday afternoon
and took everything that he had ex-
cept some papers and his badge.
The robbery was performed in day
light, before an interested crowd that
looked on from the opposite sidewalk
but made no effort to interfere. When
the police finally appeared the former
Sheriff uttered bitter words concern
ing the enforcement of the law. De-
tectives hastened forth and brought in
half dozen young men who looked
as though they might cherish a long
ing for robbery Of former sheriffs, but
Mr. Grifenhagen said that none Of
them was member of the gang.
Mr.. Grifenhagen was walking along
Tenth Avenue, going uptown. when the
gang attacked him from behind the
high fence which guards the 'Pennsyl
vania Railroad cut. Two pinioned hi:
arms behind his back. Two other:
went through his pockets, and hal:
, dozen more stood around to beat of
possible interference. There wasn'
any.
The bandits got wallet containing
$16 and some change, but Mr.. Grifen
hagen by considerable contortionis
ability saved papers in his left-hant
coat pocket as we'll as the badge tina
was presented him by admirers whel
he, was Sheriff.

Dismissal Denied Beddall

Justice Donnelly yesterday denied a
motion by counsel for Edward X. Bed
dali, president of E. K. Beddall & Co.,
insurance brokers, for dismissal Of
the suit for separation brought by
Mrs. Anna M. Beddnll. The request
was made on the ground that the suit
brought by the wife last December has
not been moved for trial by Mrs. Bed
dali.
Mrs. Beddall opposed the motion,
saying her suit has not been prosecuted
because "Mr. Beddall has spent several
months in Reno, cndeavoring to per-
suade the courts there that he was a
resident of the State of Nevada" so
that he could sue for divorce. Mrs.
Beddall said her husband went to Reno
after starting for California. where
he went on the plea Of i'll health. Not
suspecting his intention, Mrs. Beddall
said, she accompanied him to the rail-
road station when he departed.

Fake Collectors Appear in
Catholic Church Campaign

Complaint has been made to the
police that impostors representing
themselves as collectors for the Catho-
lie drive. for the rebuilding of churches
in the devastated area of France have
made their appearance. The Rev. John
J. Wynn, pastor of st. Francis Xavier
Church, in West Fifteenth Street,
called at Police Headquarters yester-
day and asked aid in detecting the
swindlers. He called attention to the
fact that no person has been authorized
to collect money. Contributions have
been pledged and will be collected next

Conferrees of Senate and
House Adopt Plan to End
Federal Control Last Day
of Month Law Is Signed
Rates Continue 4 Months
Ratification by Both Bodies
and Signature of Presi-
dent Expected Promptly

WASHINGTON, June 24.-Agreement
was reached late to-day by Senate and
House conferrees on legislation to re-
peal government control of telegraph,
telephone and other wire systems. The
conferrees adopted the House plan Of
terminating government control at
midnight on the last day of the calen-
dar month in which the law is ap-
proved.
Toll and local exchange telephone
rates would be continued for four
months unless sooner changed by state
commissions, under the conference
agreements compromise between the
ninety days rate extension clause OF
the Senate bill and the six months con-
tinuance proposed by the House.
The practical effect Of the legisla-
ton, the conferrees stated, will be that
all Of the wires will be returned to
private control and operation at mid
night July 81, as it is expected con-
fdently that the law will be signed by
the President early in July.
The Senate conferrees yielded on the
Senate plan of returning the wire lines
! forthwith" They stated that enact
ment of the legislation this month was
practically impossible and the House
plan was accepted to avoid confusion
in accounting should the wires be
turned back in the middle Of a month.
Action on the conference report will
be had first in the House. Prompt
ratification of the conference agree
ment is anticipated in both bodies of
Congress, the time for ending govern
ment control and the telephone rate
extension questions being the only
subjects in dispute.

LONDON, June 24.-The labor world

urges immediate naturalization OF roy

members of the commission would go
further, they will be satisfied with the

owners say the report was reached as
a result of threat by the triple al

if the mines were not nationalized.

BARBECUE PLANS
FOR SUNDAY ARE
ASSUMING SHAPE

Arrangements for rhe excursion
and barbecue to be held under the
auspices of the Nenana Comm: ercial
club on Sunday were practically
completed at a special meeting of
the organization last night, and
there ls reason to believe the out
ing will be enjoyed by a very large
number The barbecue will be the
first ever held in Interior Alaska
and the excursion will afford Ne
nanaites their first opportunity TO
ride to the end of steel since the
bridge at Nenana Crossing was
washed out early last spring.
The plan. as agreed upon last
night, is to leave town on a special
excursion train at ten o'clock Sat-
urday night, arriving at the end of
steel, or Whereabouts. sufficiently ear
ly to permit those of the ladies who
desire to leave the train. to spend
a considerable part of the night at
the Singleton roadhouse. There will
be hunks in the cars, for all, how
ever. The excursionists will break
fast at the Ignite roadhouse and
spend the day in any manner that
pleases them-fshing, hunting, Wis
iting the Burns mine and other
points Of interest in that locality,
or watching the railroad builders at
their work.
The barbecue will be held early in
the afternoon, in the midst of sur
roundings ideal for picnicking. Then
there will be another feed before
the eXcursionists start home
The whole charge for the outing,
including the barbecue and other
meals at Ignite, and the ride gu:
and back, will be 81 for grown-ups.
The children will be the special
guests of Mr. Singleton, who has
announced that he will feed all the
youngsters free.
In o-ier that it may be known
definitely in advance how many
will make the trip, lists have been
placed around town for signatures,
each signer being expected to de-
post 81, for which an excursion
ticket will be issued.
A committee consisting of Billy
Coutts and Jesse Brown was ap-
pointed last night to have entire
charge of the excursion, while the
pdI USSuS anu ll!t serving Ol LIE
other meals at Ignite will be looked
after by Jack Singleton. Mr.. Sin
gleton attended the meeting Of the
club last night, by invitation, and
assured the members that he would
be able to accommodate any num-
Der that might go on the excursion.
An invitation has been sent to
Fairbanks. inviting the people of the
upper town to come down for the
outing, and it is believed a consid-
cradle number will avail themselves
of the opportunity to see the Ignite
country and enjoy real old-fash-
Toned barbecue.

CAPITAL NEEDED
PORTLAND CANAL
TO INSURE CAMP

That Hyder holds the key to the
Portland canal silver, gold, lead and
copper properties is the opinion ex-
pressed by Juneau mining experts
returning from an inspection tour of
the district. THE Canadian govern
ment does not want to build road
from Canadian mining territory to
an American seaport town nor the
American government build a road
from an American seaport town to
a Canadian mining camp" is the
way George T. Jackson sizes up the
situation.
However, Mr.. Jackson says, the
Premier Mining company, controlled
by Nell and other Spokane mining
men, is spending 100000 in building
q sled road from the Premier prop
erty Il miles inland from Hyder to
get 1000 tons Of high-grade ore to
tidewater during the winter months.
This ore will run from 500 to ST.
600 ton and is silver sulphides
taken from the Premier property.
The Premier is really the first
property to develop in the Hyder
district, but is in Canadian terri
tory. Last winter this company
shipped $50 tons of ore at value
of $3.50 ton in silver and gold.
with little zinc and lead. The ore
is native silver sulphides.
The property has a 600-foot tun-
mel driven on the hanging wall,
where a high-grade streak five feet
wide will average from 500 to ST.
900 a ton. There are also numer-
Gus fractures running into the vein
which carry high-grade ore. This
formation has been crosscut for
about IS feet, which shows five feet
of high-grade and 80 feet of milling
ore. The property is Il miles from
tidewater at an elevation of 1000
feet.
Salmon river enters Portland can
al at Hyder and for eleven miles the
grade is practically level. The grade
then is sharp and the country high
ly mineralized. the ore bodies being
first encountered Il miles up the
river, running nearly north and
south. Four miles due north of the
Premier group are the Big Mis-
scuri" and THE Joker" These two
properties are side by side and on
both considerable work has been
done, and a diamond drill is now
working on the Big Missouri"
showing high-grade silver sulphides.
This formation also shows in nu-
merous open cuts on both proper
ties. However, there has been no
work done underground to encoun-
ter the ledge.
Quite a number of claims have
been located in a uortherly direction
on Salmon river, but no great
amount of development work has
been done Senator Roman has an
option on a group of claims IL
miles north of the Big Missouri"
where he has started development
work.
About three miles north of the
"Big Missouri" the "49 Group has
q showing of high-grade silver ore
in open cuts.
