Matthews, T7-year-old pioneer publisher who returned hers after a 35-year absence and was ziven temporary quarters in the city jall when he was found wandering on Seattle’s streets, today found himself denled a home. He wanted to live wiih his two daughters and their families in Wrangell, Alaska, but this, accord- | ing to Lieut. C. G. Carr, head of the police protective division, could not be arranged. Quarters for him were sought in the King County Home, but technicalities barred the way because he had not lived ia the county for years. A place in the Whatcom County old people’s home was requasted and authorities there took the case under advisement. Lieutenant Carr believed Mr. Matthews is entitled to sanctuary there because he had lived in Blaine, Whatcom County, 20 years, leaving there only five years ago. Today the question of finding a home for the aged man was to be laid before Superior Judge Everett Smith for an attempted settlement. Lieutenant Carr said he found a son-in-law of Mr. Matthews, Fred Hanford of Wrangell, an oil com= pany official,” here on a busines§ trip, and was advised by Hanford to place Mr. Matthews in a home. Found Wednesday night at the corner of First Avenue and Yesler Way, Mr. Matthews said he had lived with two daughters in Wram- gell and came here last month with He did not recall how he and Hanford became separated, but lamented because his son-in- law made no effort to find him.
