The worda "dwelling house" and

one or more persons regularly sleep.

mon meaning of the word, but may be
for example, a room In a factory, store
or office building, a loft over a sta
ble, a canal boat, a tent, or a wig
wam. The term also Includes a ho
tel, boarding or lodging house, a
tenement or apartment house, an In

Los Angeles. "Trusts arc respon
sible for tho great rise in prices in
all directions, and undoubtedly for
tho cost of foods. The spirit of this
commercial age has been combine,
and this combine has run riot."
Thus Andrew Carnegie with one
thrust went to the heart of the high
cost of living. He did not weep over
the spectacle. He faced It as a fact
and hoped that the remedy for it
would bo forthcoming.
, Carnegie reached Los Angeles Fri
day afternoon. With him was his
wife and their daughter, Margaret.
Tho party was escorted by Carnegie's
old friend, Charles L. Taylor of Pitts
burg. "Roosevelt Is a genius. He is the
greatest man. In a political way, In
the world," continued the Bteel man.
He is a wonderful statesman. He Is
a straightforward, true man who Is
not capablo of doing an underhand
trick.
"Yes, I think Mr. Taft is carrying
out the Roosevelt policies. He s
working them out In his Individual
way."
Mr. Carnegie sidestepped any ref
erence to a "return from Elba." but
said: "I am going to meet Mr. Roose
velt In London, May 15. I had a tele
gram from him Just before I left New
York.
"Yes, trusts have done their part
In tho raise of prices," continued Mr.
Carnegie, "but so ha everyone else
In the selling business. True, the
trusts started It. But the little fel
lows, that Is, the retailers, have come
In strong. Every fellow wants his
rakeoff.
"Combine is in the air. Everyone
during the past 10 years lias caught
the spirit and has gone mad with It.
That has brought tho country to the
pinnacle of high prices.
"But I am confident things will be
right. I believe the court of com
merce proposed by President Taft will
prove a solution of the high price
tangle. Combines have good points,
but they must be regulated. A court
of commerce Is a necessity and It will
be made a fact."
New York. Because he; was the
one of a large class of public school
boys who was not promoted, little
Kummle Thompson, 15 years old,
hanged himself to the head of his
bed at his home In Brooklyn,
The Instrument of death he select
ed was the strap with which he had
carried his school books during the
term.
After school closed the boy, with
his head low and his eyes on the
ground, dragged himself to his home
at Wlnthrop street and Old Clove
road.
"She didn't promote me," he said
bitterly to his mother. "I was the
only kid left back."
"How do you ever expect to be an
engineer, like your papa, If you don't
pass in your school examinations?"
the mother asked.
She says she tried to he gentle with
him and only hoped to encourage him
to better efforts next term. The boy
said something about being afraid to
meet his father, who Is the engineer
in charge of the county buildings in
Flatbush, and whom the lad Idolized.
Mrs. Thompson paid little- attention
when he said he'd go upstairs to try
to sleep.
At 5 o'clock the mother sent his
younger sister Ida to call him. She
got no answer, and could not open
the door. An elder brother broke It
open. They found the youngster
dangling from the head of the bed,
to the post of which he had tied his
book strap.

BOISE WILL REALIZE HEli
DREAMS OF MANY YEARS
Payette, Idaho. The people of this
valley look forward to a very prosper
ous year on account of the new rail
road which will be built during 1910
and 1911 by the Central'Idaho Rail
road company. This line branches
off from the Oregon Short Line at
Owlnsa. This new line will run
through fertile valleys and will be
used for the through trains of the
Oregon Short Line, realizing the per
ennial dream of Boise, putting It on
the main line. It will conect with
the Short Line again at Payette. With
Payette a Junction point for two
main lines, considerable business will
naturally come to the yards here.
Payette haB hopes of being made a
division statlen. This new line will
have a maximum grade of 1 per cent
as against the maximum grade of
2.4 per cent on the present Short Line.
This means that a great per cent of
the freight business will be haulde
on the new line.
Payette will have dally telegraph
service during tho frost danger peri
od this spring, as most of the fruit
growers have Installed smudge pots
and with this new sorvlce there should
be a good crop of apples and other
fruit this year.
Pasadena, Cal. Hundreds of let
ters begging for financial assistance
have been pouring Into Pasadena ad
dressed to Mrs, Russell Sage, widow
of the late New York financier, who
arrived here a few days ago for
"rest." A great package has been
added to a pile which Major Slocum,
her nephew, estimates at 500 In num
ber. Most of the epistles have not
been opened. Thus far only two of
them have been given to Mrs. Sage to
peruse. The remainder probably will
not be read for some time. Speak
ing of the flood of letters asking for
aid. Major Slocum said:
"Mrs. Sage Is not In any sense In
public life. Th!s continuous string of
letters asking for money Is annoying
her. She will not pretend to give them
heed."
Mrs. Sage and her party are at the
Raymond cottage. She expects to re
main here two months before return
ing to the east.
North Yakima. A letter has been
r celved here from United States Sen
ator Ben Tillman, addressed to F. H.
McOrnnahan of Ellensburg stating
that lie had noticed that McGrana
hnn was on the point of employing
some one to secure for him filings of
a timber clnim In land now In litga
tlon with the United States govern
ment. Senator Tillman says it has come
to his knowledge that a firm of swin
dlers is operating in Portland, Ore.,
along the line with ramifications all
over the country and he asks for any
letters or. documents from the firm
with which McGranah.m Is dealing In
order that he may Investigate. Such
filings, he says, will give no priority

ulation at the Mare Island navy yard
regarding the findings of the board of
Inquiry presided over by Captain Un

Its Investigation of the cause of the
leaking of the boilers on the cruiser
New Orleans. Tho findings have

AUSTRIAN ARMY OFFICER
VICTIM OF SECRET COURT
Vienna. - Lieutenant Hoffrichter.
the young officer who is accused of
being the author of the Austrian army
poison plot, has already learned how
severe an Inquisition can be. 'So un
mltlgatedly severe has it been in the
lieutenant's case that he is in a criti
cally nervous condition In his cell.
The method of the secret court is cal
culated to break the spirit of almost
any accused individual whether he be
Innocent or guilty, and drugs are at
this time being administered to Hof
frighter in order to avoid a total col
lapse. The court's idea seems to have been
to force a confession from the prison
er, although this has not been accom
plished thus far. There Is no Jury In
such cases, and the prisoner is al
lowed no attorney, to aid him In the
defense.
Frau Holfrichter has asked that she
may be allowed to give evidence In
her husband's behalf, but has been
told that she must wait "until more
Important witnesses have been
heard."

Athens. Greece needs money, and
it is possible the great American fi
nancier, J. P. Morgan, will be asked
to float a loan of 160,000,000 drach
mas $30,000,000.
For political reasons Intimately
connected with a desire to remain on
good terms with Turkey, Great Brit
ain and Germany seem anxious to
place every obstacle In the way of the
loan. Therefore the Greeks turn to
America.
France, it Is understood would un
dertake to finance the loan but makes
very onerous terms concerning the
manner In which the money Is to be
expended. The Interest will be guar
anteed by the revenue of the rail
roads constructed out of the product
of the loan, the revenue derived from
the surtaxes on tobacco and alcohol.
thethe new revenue of sugar monop
oly, and the surplus of the revenue
attril-uted to the service of the pub
lic debt. The loan Is specially des
tined for railroad construction and
Other public works and to the pay
ments of the budget deficits from
IS78 to 1909.
The government is also authorized
to raise a further loan of 60.000,000
drachmas at the rate of 5,000,00
drachmas per annum for the redemp
tion of the national bank notes and to)
assure the necessary gold reserve.
