MIR. AND MRS. C. Z. BOLLES
HOME FROM VACATION TRIP

Mr.. and Mrs. Charles e. Bolles, re-
turned home Friday evening from g
fifteen-day auto vacation trip to Spo-
kane, Wallace, Wenatchee and Walla
Walla. They went over the Sunset
highway and report fine trip and
good roads. They returned by way
of Blewett pass, where they enjoyed
the beautiful scenery. While the roads
are not good in many places, in time
this will be one of the splendid high
ways of the northwest
While in some sections of the coun-
try such as the Big Bend section and
others, the crops are far below nor
NAL, said Mr.. Bolles to representa-
tive Of the Star-Mirror Monday, in
other places crops are normal and
even better at others.
Around the Wal1a Walla region
wheat crops on the whole are average.
On some flats around there crops
have even exceeded the normal yield
despite the opposite tendency almost
everywhere else
The Yakima and Wenatchee valley
fruit crops are nearing harvest and
there is promise of bumper yields
which will mean a prosperous year
for the growers of that section pro-
vided the rail strikes do not interfere
with shipments to market.

exhibition stunts, principally at night
1t is described as being shaped like a
porpoise, 100 feet long, and rushing
through the water with the speed Of
an express train. Occasionally 1t
would leap out Of and forward over

Julia B. Perry. superintendent of
the Kansas state industrial school
for women, says that humane treat
tenn of reforming not Furnishing, is a
huge success.
There are no bars or locks on most
Of the rooms and quarters Of the wom-
en- prisoners of the institution-it
makes them forget prison and try to
make good this system works, Su-
perintendent Perry declares.
Six years ago the state of Kansas
started near Lansing an industrial
farm for it's women criminals and in
that brief period 1000 women and girl
prisoners have received Its fostering
care
Owing to the crowded condition at
the Kansas state prison and lacking
space and room to properly house the
criminal insane, the only reasonable
solution to the intricate problem was
to place the II women prisoners in Z
rambling old farm house one mile dis
tant from the prison proper This
was done In 1915.
At first it was thought necessary to
place high barbed wire fence around
the farm with only large farm gate
that was locked and bolted. The SUI
perintendent of these women was not
used to being locked up with stone
walls, prison bars and padlocks and
had them removed.
Prison life soon wore away and
amid the shade of the leafy trees and
lowing of cattle the women tried to
make good.
Superintendent Perry declares that
there are bigger and better plans a
foot to aid the work. The popula-
ton today at the farm Is 40 inmates,
twelve matrons, one physician, two
nurses one record clerk, one chief
clerk, one steward and two chaplains
lone Catholic and one Protestant
Vocational training work Is so mapped
that every occupant of the home is
kept busy.

New York.-The loss of time due t.
strikes in the present year will I'm
doubtedly exceed that of last year, ac
cording to figures compiled by the Ma
tional Industrial Conference Board, IL
East Thirty-ninth street. The boarG
estimates that at present 1,250.00t
workers are idle because of strikes
in various Industries, entailing a direct
loss of approximately 100000 man
hours of work each day.
There were 2,267 strikes and lock-
outs in the United States in 1921, says
the board report, or less than any of
the five preceding years. The number
Of strikes brought to the attention of
the bureau of labor statistics in 1916
was 3,7S9; in 1917, 4,450; in 1918,
1858; in 1919, 3,577, and in 1920 1854.
The number of persons involved in
| ,5S7 of the strikes and 90 of the lock-
outs reported in 1921 was 1.0S5,653.
The total duration of 1,409 of the
strikes and 70 of the lockouts last
year was 60,165 days. The average
duration of the strikes in 1921 was go
days. Estimating the average wage
Of the workers in these strikes and
lockouts at 81 a day, the total loss of
wages alone due to this number of
labor disputes in 1921 would be about

\. !. COLD MINE
CAUSES ARREST
Of PROMOTERS
Five Alleged to Have Reaped
Nearly a Million From
GulIible Public.
BY EARL &. REEVES,
International News Service.

NEW YORK, May 11.-Three new
arrests are expected to be made to.
day. according to announcement
from the office Of Assistant District
Attorney O'Neill in the Yonkers gold
mine fraud case, which, II is esti.
mated resulted in the "investment"
Of nearly million dollars by gullible
readers of some OF the most amazing
prospeCtuses ever written.
Five men are now in custody.
The unfolding of the case today
had presented the world with new
data Of a startling nature supporting
the Barnum diCtum that one Is born
every minute.
An array of seductive literature in
the hands Of officials printed in
English and Russian. recounts the
wandering of Vastly Chernaik over
the world in search OF gold, and his
final discovery in the enVirons OF
New York OF a field containing no
less than eleven billions OF dollars
worth OF gold and silver. The forma-
ton Of the Iridio Platinum Gold Com.
pany, Inc, is then recounted.
Iridio publishes also reports Of
assayers showing precious metal
value, per ton OF rock, Of $322.l0.
Spare no time" was q keynote Of
the sales argument. Alaska Is max
ing hundred millionaires every yeaG
while our claims, in the opinion OF
experts are much richer"
The prospectus even warns pros
pective investors against wild cat"
schemes which are losing investors
millions yearly.
Investigators declare the equip.
ment of the mine" at Nepara Park,
Yonkers, consisted OF a single rock
crusher and the precious metal was
a small amount with which specimen
rock had been "salted," II is alleged.
Vastly Padishuk, a stock salesman
for the scheme, was the last of the
five taken into custody. He sur.
rendered last night and was locked
in the Tombs today when he could
not furnish hail.

Jealousy of French Girl Is
Blamed by Chauffeur for
Their Plight.

"If they separate me from my
Victorine l would rather die. She
is my girl and l expect to marry
her."
This was the declaration today
of Francis Emile Krebs, forty-one-
year old international lover" /"
now being held in the District
Jail in default of 1000 bond for
alleged violation of the white
slave act, his sweetheart beins in
the house of detention under
$1,000 bond.
Krebs Married, Is Claim.
Krebs, who, it is alleged, is a mar
ried man, having a wife in France,
brought Miss Yictorine LeClert.
twenty eight years old. from Paris,
and, 1t is charged, has been living
with her at 1903 Oregon avenue
northwest, since last December.
The international triangle came to
light about a week ago, after Krebs
and Miss LeClert had quarreled,
Krebs walked voluntarily into the
office of the immigration bureau, De.
partment of Labor, and told them
that Miss LeClert was worrying him
to death"
Krebs alleges in a statement made
to officials, which he freely discussed
with a Times reporter. that he WAS
living with Miss LeClert, although he
had not obtained a divorce from his
wife in France, who has been separ'
ated from him for sixteen years. and
who. he says, is now suing for n
divorce.
81 went to the immigration Of
ficials and thought that 1 could get
them to scare Miss LeClert into
staying in her own room in my
house" Krebs said.
Girl Was Jealous, He Says.
"I told her that we could not live
together, but she was jealous OF me
and would not listen. She would get
frightened at the least noise al
night and would come into my room
no matter what | said TO her"
For this reason, Krebs, who is a
chauffeur. says he voluntarily went
to the Department of Labor and
sought their aid in breaking up the
love affair. Krebs is vehement in
his treatment of the Department OF
Labor, who, he says, double
crossed" him. and is equally as en-
phatic in his love for the Frencn girl
he brought to America and expected
to marry.
On, the face of Krebs' story, he
was told that the department had no
jurisdiction over such matters.
But you see" explained krets
this woman came over from Paris,
and I think II you would call her up
on the phone and threaten to deport
