Show RACE FOR SON'S LIFE Father Rushes to Pacific Coast to See His Dying Boy. " . James R. Starwell. a leather merchant of Kansas City, passed through the city Tuesday on the Rio Grande bound for the Presidio, where his only son, Lieut. Starwell, is very ill. ' With Mr. Starwell it is probably a race with death as the boy is dangerously danger-ously ill and the father is in doubt as to whether he will reach the Presidio in time to see him alive. Lieut. Starwell has a slow form of the fever which is causing hundreds of fa- . talities In the Philippine islands. He arrived ar-rived at the Presidio only ten days ago ' and has steadily grown worse. He is one of the most popular of th younger officers in the army. |
