IMPRESSIONS OF GOVERNOR'S WIFE But charming as the governor is, you keep wanting to see Mra. Governor and learn for yoursif what sort of woman this is who may next spring be The First Lady of the Land. You wander back to the house, and in she comes—with a smile and handshake that make you feel in- stantly at home and as tho every. body was “just folks” together—no fues or pose. My first impression of Mra. Cox was that ghe was just a girl healthy and breezy and ‘outof-| doorsy. I could alfnost have called her Margaretta, and asked how dad was, and the boys, and how she made out that swiniming mateh. My Lory + Booed on second impression wonderful hair she that gorgeous, glowing dark And my third impression, gained at the table and later in tif nursery with 7-month-old Anne, was that for all her “girlness,” the governor's wife has a very definite dignity 6f ber own-—the dignity of the compe- tent housewife and hostess and the lovely dignity of motherhood.

When we entered the nursery, Anne was lying on her back in the erib, clad in one very brief garment, trying earnestly and solemnly to in #ert her foot in her mouth. On sight of her mother she let go her foot and broke into the widest grin a baby ever managed, and held} up her arms to be taken, I wish to mention right here that Anno’s meals are of the back-to-nature variety, and no patent foods need apply! After this slight interval, Anne's mother said, “Now let's go down- stairs and talk. Only I am a hor- rible person to interview. I just| don't know things. I was nearly frightened to death the other day whén the reporters called. When they ask me my views on political questions; what AM I to say? I'm just stupid, I suppose.” “You're young,” I suggested, laughing at the “Just stupid” idea, since Mrs, Cox is no more ,stupid than a pearl is stupid for not being a diamond.

Sleuths Seek Million- aire Slacker Fugitive on Following the report that he Was seen on a train entering Se- attle, Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, Motorious draft evader, is being Tip From Judge | | the Northwest was brought to Seat- tle by Judge W. B. Douglas of St Paul, former attorney general of Min nesota, who declares that Bergdoll was on the train with him and got off in Seattle. “Altho I had never seen Bergdoll, I recognized him at once from the photographs and descriptions T had seen,” Judge Douglas told a Star re porter. “The only points in which he dif. fered were that he was smooth shaven and affected glasses, The glaxses were palpably a fraud, how ever, for he never failed to remove them when he wanted to observe something at a distance. Bergdoll has two scars on the right side of his face, back near the ear. This man sat always on the right side of the coach, next to the window, and was careful to screen the right side of his | face from observation, I have not the| slightest doubt but that he was Berg. dol,” BOARDED TRAIN AT SPOKANE Judge Douglas ts of the opinion that the suspect boarded the train at | Spokane early Sunday morning. He lappeared to be very nervous, and talked incessantly to a companion. His accent was markedly German | These facts tally with the official de- | scriptions of Bergdoll.

Evans, knew one of the operatives of the department of justice. The agent was summoned and accompanied Judge Douglas to Chief McAuley Tuesday The theory advanced that Berg doll has been traveling across the country slowly, changing trains at night, and that he intends to slip over the border into Canada at some point in Washington, Bergdoll was a fugitive from jus- tice from August 3, 1917, when he was sentenced to five years’ impris onment for evasion of the draft, to January 7, 1920, when he was appre hended and began serving his sen- tence. On May 21 he made a sen- sational escape from military guards in Philadelphia, leaping into a wait ing auto and eluding capture. Since then his trail has apparently led east and south, and his presence in the Northwest was entirely unsuspected unti} Judge Douglas reported his sus- | picions, Judge Douglas left for a visit to his ranch at Ferndale Tuesday night. | ACCENT GERMAN, SCARS ON FACE Bergdoll is officially descrited as follows: |7 inches; 175 pounds; heavy, stocky build; dark brown hair; brown. eyes; |sometimes wearing a small mus- |tache; teeth bad, and complexion sal- jlow.
