Rain—pitiless, steady rain—poured down on the world when Richard Ferrier strode across the gangway from the deck of the great liner, and set foot on English so for the first time in 12 gears. He stood for an instant, looking round him at the scene of excite- ment and disorder; porters clamor- ing for luggage; officials with smart. ly braided cap@ shouting orders in stentorian voices, women laughing and weeping and clinging about the necks of the dear ones who had just returned to them from the other side of the broad Atlantic, telegraph boys dashing about, shouting names and delivering messages. Richard Fer- rier, standing a little apart, looked on and felt himself @ stranger in a nge land. rae. five years it had been the dream of his life to come home—for two he had longed for England as @ starving man longs for food, und jat upward of 5,000.

An assortment of guns, razors, knives and ammunition taken from the negroes was confiscated. Charges yet, now he was actually here, wef felt himself a thousand times more lonesome than he had done out in the backwoods of Canada, Nobody was glad that he had como home-—there was nobody to meet and welcome him. One or two people glanced curiously at him as he stood there in the pouring rain, a giant: figure, with the huge collar of his coat upstanding, and his soft felt hat pulled weil down over his-eyes; but they only glanced and hurried on, intent on their own business, A porter hurried up to him— “Luggage, sir?” No, I've only got a bag.” Ferrier picked up the huge hold- ali from the wet flagstones at his feet, and walked away slowly thru the crowd. ‘Once or twice he glanced round, almost as if he expected someone, but it was absurd, he told himeelf, to have expected for a moment that TELEPH ONE IS ATTACKED BY 4 MEN; PUTS THEM TO ROUT Seized roughly by four large men, who attempted to force her into their automobile as she was leav- ing the Garfield telephone exchange, 1600 Fourth ave.

BONE ALASKA'S CHIEF WASHINGTON, June 1.—Seott C. Bone, director of publicity of the re- publican national committee, former. ly of Seattle, Wash., was named gov- ernor of Alaska by President Har- ding today, Bone was called to Washington last Saturday to confer with Secre- tary of thd Interior Fall. During the last campaign Bone handled the publicity for the republican party. His home is now In New York. Prier to coming to Seattle, Bone was connected with the Washington Post for 17 years, and from 1906 to 1911 he was editor of the Wash- ington Herald, He was editor of the Post-Intelligencer from 1912 to 19 He was chairman of the ka bureau of the Seattle Cham- ber of Commerce for two years. While President Harding is under stood to have favored an Alaskan for the governorship, factional dif. ficulties prevented agreement on the man. National Committeeman McBride indorsed George C. Haze- lett and Delegate Dan Sutherland indorsed Former Delegate James Wickersham. Hastings would come, altho good old Micky had been #0 sure. “He's one of the best,” Micky had maid heartily. “He'll give you @ thundering good time. Shouldn't be surprised if he turns up to meet the boat, You'll like him, and he's got a jolly pretty sister. I wrote him last mall, so he must have got the letter.” They had been Micky’s last’ words when the two men said goodby, and unconsciously Richard Ferrier had counted on their coming true. On the voyage across he had thought a good deal about Micky's friend Hast- ings, who was such a thundering good sort. He had thought about the pretty sister, too, for there were few women up in the back is, and those he had met were poor for the most part, and hard-working. He had almost forgotten what pret- ty frocks and dainty ways were like. The rain came down faster, a keen optic as evidence that Miss Sei- pel's fist, tho small, is decidedly dangerous. “1 had jast come out of the ex- change,” she said at her home, 718 Queen Anne ave, Wednesday, “when they grabbed me. 1 didn't seream, or say a word. I just jabbed the first one right in the face as hard as 1 could hit, Then 1 ran. “I ran to the corner. There were a man and a woman on the corter. We started back toward the four men, and when they saw us coming they jumped into their car and drove off.” Miss Seipel described the men as well dressed, good looking and around 28 or 29 years of age. “I've only Been working there nights for three days,” she said, “put the chief operator tells me the same men have been there night after night for two weeks. Sometimes they would climb up and peek in at the windows, “The police, I believe, were noti- fied once, but I guess the men were so big the police were afraid, or something.

Madison park residents were keen- ly interested Wednesday in the mys- terious digging operations of an ec- centric old man known in the neigh- borhood only as “Old Frank,” who claims he is seeking buried treasure in the woods five blocks north of 32nd ave, N, and E.

He had not remembered that the English cli- mate was 80 full of vagaries. He hailed a taxi from a side rank and told the cabman to drive to the Lime Street hotel.

An attentive commissionaire met him at the door of the great hotel, a smartly-liveried “buttons” seized upon his hold-all and staggered away with it.

According to these three, “Old Frank” says he “met up” with four men traveling in a covered wagon 40 years ago. They had stopped at about the piace where he is now digging. They appeared to him to have been gambling and drinking heavily. One of them alighted from the wagon and said te another, “Come on ¢cown here, Newt, and sign these papers.” “Newt” did so. The papers were carefully wrapped up in a led together with several bundles of currency and sacks of money, and inclosed in strips of bark and other covering. Then the whole large bundle, containing money and papers was buried there. WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD 1S AROUSED fi “Old Frank” ts said to have re- lated that he buried at the same time his toy violin.

A Star reporter found “Old Frank” at noon up to his waist in a hole three feet wide and several feet long and still shoveling.

I am ready to answer the charge today. I am ready to answer any charge against Mohaney today.” Patterson reminded the court that it would be necessary to bring wit- nesses from St. Paul and also called attention to Muahoney’s statement that he expected to meet his wife in New York June 1. “If she is heard from it will make some difference in the testimony, I suggest June 14.” Then Johnston spoke of murder. It was the first time that that aspect of the case was mentioned. “That shows,” he said, “the insin- cerity of the prosecution. They talk of investigating a murder theory and they talk at the same time of hearing from Mrs. Mahoney.” “Don't misunderstand me,” coun tered Patterson. “I don't expect to hear from Mrs, Mahoney and I haven't the slightest idea that any- body else will.” Johnston declared he would have raised the $10,000 bail for his client on the forgery charge but that he discovered the prosecuting attorney was ready to bring another charge against his client and fix high bail. “I'll be furnishing bail until Christmas if I try to keep up with their ridiculous charges,” he said. “Mahoney isn't afraid of these charges. Not a bit of it. All he does fear is that the widespread publicity given to these mere con- jectures about him will result in the revocation of his parole from the penitentiary.” ‘The court considered awhile and then announced abruptly: “The preliminary hearing on the forgery charge will be held June AND THOMAS IS STILL WAITING More than a year and a half ago the state public service commission held a hearing on the inadequate plant facilities of the Seattle Light- ing company.

His attention was called to the man's operations, it is said, by the fact that the boat was without lights and was rowed out onto the lake “dark,” in viola tion of harbor department rules. After careful reading of several law volumes on “Corpus Deliciti,” Prosecutor Douglas, gave his opinion Wednesday that the state cannot plausibly charge Mahoney with mur der unless the body of Mrs, Mahoney is found. Douglas’ assertion clears up one or two heretofore unexplained points in the mystery, The police have no evidence to show that Mrs, Mahoney's body was destroyed. NONE SAW HIM DISPOSE OF BODY And they have found no person’ who saw Mahoney or any other per- son actually putting the body inte the lake or otherwise disposing of it, Douglas’ perusal of his law library brought out the fact that if the body had been sunk in the deep sea be yond recovery, the filing of a mum der charge would be possible. “But,” he pointed out, “if tt could not be recovered from so shallow @ body of water as Lake Union, wo would have to bring witnesses who saw the body, and identified it as Mrs, Mahoney's, being dropped into the lake by the defendant in the case.” This, he intimated, the state is not, Prepared to do, and the search of the lake bottom must continuo until the body is found. Otherwise the state will be unable, with present evidence, to prove Mra, Mahoney dead. BREMERTON. — Rear Admiral John A.
