AND RIVER
There was a good deal of amuse-
mtnt in the office of the Columbia
River Bar Pilots Association, yester
day afternoon, where somebody (pre-
sumably, George Nelson), had started
a discussion as to the Apostolic per
sonnel; the attempts of the "old sea
dogs" present to recapitulate the 12.
nd the attendant disputes, claims and
denials bandied about, constituted one
of the funniest arguments heard there
Jn a long while. When all hands bad
gotten the subject well man-handled,
- . -it i j r:i.i . mi th list, the
ana mu nau u i s'-
fun was given impetus by potting the
question to visitors, including some
reporters, none of whom were better
posted. The laugh was on everybody,
except Nelson, and he had a printed
or written list in his clothes, from
which, with great unction, he. under
took to set the crowd right; but
everybody realized that without such
a guide he would have been as help
less as the last man in the class.

NF.W YORK. April ft A young
man who said he was Hamilton E.
Crampton, 23 years old, a clerk, but
who. the police say, is Carl N. Day.
alias Richard N. Stevens, once an in
mate of the Elmire, N. reforma
tory, is held by the police today after
having been arrested in West Sfith
Street last night at the home of a
young woman. Several and various
charges of larceny were responsible
for his arrest. "Beauty" a $ot) bull pup j
was taken into custody along with the
young man. The youth went to a
cell; the pup was tied to a desk at
headquarters.
It is alleged by the police that Day
wrote many letters from Chicago to
New York merchants, giving 137
Michigan Avenue as his address and
saying that he was agent for a pub
lishing firm and was about to visit
New York to purchase $1500 worth of
books. I When he arrived here it is
said, he deposited a check on a Chic
ago bank for $497 and then launched
on a series of mysterious operation.
He acquired offices in two different
buildings and scattered checks broad
cast Each of the checks in turn wis
turned down by the Plaza Bank with
the endorsement, "Drawn against an
uncollected account."
Adding further complications to his
enterprise, the young man took rooms
at several hotels simultaneously, reg
istering under a different name at
each.
Now comes the bull pup that was
indirectly responsible for his downfall-
On April 5, when having his
boots blacked at a stand, he took a
fancy to the bootblack's dog and
bought the animal. Hut instead of
taking the dog away with him, he got
a boy to deliver "Beauty ta the
young woman at whose house he was
arrested. When the boot-black
couldn't get the check cashed he no
tified the police and through the boy
who had delivered the dog detectives
traced Day. The man was placed un
der arrest. He said, "It was lucky
for you that you didn't wait a week
longer. I would have been on the
high seas with my bride.
Instead, he will appear in court
some time today.

AMERICANS UNHAPPY
Chicago Professor Gives a Few Rea
sons For This.
CHICAGO, April. 8- "We modern
Americans are the most unhappy peo
ple that have ever lived on the face of
the earth. Why?
"1 Because we are the most pros
perous people.
"2 Because we are the freest peo
ple. ".V-Because we are the most highly
educated."
So says Professor Albion W. Small
of the University' of Chicago in a
communication to the Chicago Wo
man's Club.
"Freedom and education," continues
the professor, "make for unhappiness.
They bring serious responsibilities.
They make the individual see and feel
the actual inequality of men, They
flood society with problems that tax
the mind and sear the heart.
"But let us not despair. The talent
for misery is the fountain of progress.
It is only when men can picture to
themselves what they lack and what
they want and can work up enough
genuine dissatisfaction to get them
selves into action that they accomp
lish anything worth while.'

FEARFUL LAPSE
NEW HAVEN', April 8.-HCharU:s
Austen Osten, the man who has
mystified and puzzled the physicians
here by his lapse of memory and loss
of identity, will be taken to New York
today in order that he may see the
streets and scenes with which he is
supposed to have been familiar. In
this way it is hoped that the mist
may be cleared from his brain. While
hypnotized Osten lias talked incoher
ently of his former home in New
York, but otherwise he remembers
nothing. When not hypnotized his
mind is blank but enough as been
learned through the experiments ,
made on him to indicate that he came
from New York.
