Chief WilliaM PecideMen
"Be Exammetl by' Depart-
ment of Justice
The police were searching for T.
P. Osten and A. van Den Enden, self-
styled world's tourists, ; Tuesday after
noon at 3:30 o'clock, Chief of Police
Nathan J. Williams having decided to
hold them for an investigation by De
partment of Justice Officials. The
chiefs action was taken after the men
had Stalked with the mayor and bad
called twice at headquirters to see
Siim, but failed in each instance ,as he
happened to be out Instructions giv
en the police by the chief was to
bring the men to the station regard:
less of what passports or credentials
they might have. He had previously
Communicated with District Attorney
J. O. Carr's office and he agreed to
have one of his men look them over.
Mesrs. Osten and Van Enden say
"World's greatest Tourists," say thai
they Tegan their travels under the
auspftjes of the Alexandria Athletic
Club; Of Brussells, Belgium, March
23, 191,4. They are under contract to
tour the jwhole world during a period
of 15 years. They have been under
way fori trea years and 10 months
and therefore , have something more
than 11 years yer to go. They have
visited 37 countries and North Caro
lina is the 25th State in the Union in
which they have set foot.
These gentlemen make their living
selling postcards and pamphlets giv
ing , short account of their "iexperi
ences. They also deliver lectures eiv-
ng an account of their travels; The
red, white and blue sash which they
wear Is the flag of the Netherlands,
which they claim is the oldest flag in
tne world.
Since beginning their travels, they
have toured the following, territory:
Belgium; Russia, Serbia. Manchuria,
Japan, China, Straits Settlements, Bur-
mah; India, Clelon, Australia, New
Zealand and the United States. They
expect to tour every ..State in this
country.
Not the least Interesting of their
experiences is the fact tha tthey have
been held up by government officials
in this country 29 times since the
entry of the United States into the
world war. In each instance they
were held for investigation as supos
ed German suspects. They state that
they have had no trouble satisfying
the officials concerning their Identity,
when they presented their creden
tials. .The travelers were busy Tues
day obtaining signatures from the
Mayor, the Chief of Police and- the
Postmaster. They expect to leave in
a day or so to continue their world
tour.
Former Noted Lawyer and
Statesman Was Born Feb
ruary 6, 1818
New York, Jan. 29. Plans are under
discussion for a suitable observance
next month of the centenary of Wil
liam H. Evarts, the famous statesman
and lawyer, who was born February
6, 1918. The celebration will likely
take the form of a public meeting to
be held under the auspices of the
New York Bar Association, of which
Mr. Evarts was for many years a fore
most leader.
William H. Evarts played an impor
tant part in the history of his coun
try. He won distinction as Jurist, as
an orator and as a statesman. In
many important crises he, helped to
shape the policy of the nation, and
when he sought retirement, bowed un
der the burden of years, his counsel.?
were still eagerly sought by leadeis
in every field of activity. His career
at the bar was an almost unbroken
series of splendid triumphs, -and caus
ed him to be twice selected for cabi
net offices. He served as attorney
general undo President Johnson and
as secretary of state in the Hayes ad
ministration. He represented New
Yorfc in the United States senate in
1885 and remained a potent actor In
public life until 1894,
