"Have yon got any more like it?' x 141-1 r for Bn Selling. "Yes, here 1 one more." and Adler handed out a similar envelope addressed to Ben f?llin. "Who is at the bottom of thia are yon one of them?" a Rain demanded Mr. SMiel. "T am afraid of them. I want pro tection from them myself. They chose me to do this and T have to do it." "Well, the man that wrote this letter is a scoundrel." When he srlanred at Adler to see the fTct on him that individual was smiling easily. ".Would yoii like for me to deliver this letter for yoti to Mr. SllinR. who is a friend of mine?" Mr. Sichel asked. "Why, yn. if you do not mind," said tff e.

"Theae people they make- 'me do this," he told Ilyneman. "They fol lowed mo from New York to Denver and from Denver to I.o8 Ang-clra and from there to San Francisco and then to Portland. I waa picked for the work and r must do It. If not. It la hard to aay what would happen to me. I would like protection. 1 do not care If Mr. Slrhel tell the police." "Have the fellow arrested at once," waa Mr. Selling's advice when he was located by Mr. Sichel at the Moyer f'lothlna- store. The two then weht to the District Attorney's office, where the facts were explained to Deputy Tilatrict Attorney rlaney, who called In Captains Moore and Baty, of the police department. The arrest of Adler waa at once aarreed upon and a complaint was drawn up chararlna: him with at tempting: to extort money. As It was feared that the fellow, being desperate enonarh to embark In .such an under taking. mf;ht be equipped with a dyna mite bomb, strategy was decided on. Returning to the Third-street store, Mr. Sichel and Mr. SollInK found Adler' still seated In conversation with Mr. Hyneinan. When asked if he would aro to the police fetation and talk the mat ter over he consented at once. Walk ing between them he went to ,the sta tion. r.lthouKh looking; back cnrloualy severnl times at the officers, who kept close behind. At the station he ad mitted freely having written and de livered the letter to Mr. Sichel and aaid he h.-d Intended taking the other letier to Mr. Selling. The second letter was the same as the first. Paprs Add to MjMery. Little was found In the man's porketa to add to the solution of the case, his papers rather adding to tne mystery. A card of Identification revealed that he had worked as a reporter for a Socialist paper at Rrnnn.' Austria. The paper was the "Volkesfreund.'" meaning "friend of the people." paper of the Socialist Arbi ter party of Austria. His passports were is-ued at Bnmn and authorized him to travel over Europe for one year from June 1. 1902. The passports were renewed Auaust 8, 1!X3, for another year, and a notation was appended in Herman, directing him to report to the Austrian .Consul at Constantinople upon his arrival at that place. . The nnal page of the passport showed that he sailed from fienoa for New York. January 15, 19CM. As to his whereabouts thereafter he said he went to South America, where he re mained until 1S", when he returned to the United States hy way of Mexico and Panama, landing at Kl Paso. From Kl Paso he said he went to New York, where he was selected to raise funds for the cause of Nihilists who have hoen exiled to Siberia. His work has born watched since then.

To displace Senator Fulton by an untried man would be such an injury. The State and City need all his talent, all his capacity, all his influence with his brother Senators and ht has abundantly shown that he has all three to secure for the Columbia River the Gov ernment appropriations that are absolutely needed to give the same' deep-water facilities to ocean -going ships that are now afforded by Puget Sound. When that is done, the shorter haul will of itself establish Portland's future. A new Senator, however able, would take his place at the foot of all committees, would have to MAKE friends instead of finding them there to greet him ; would be without in fluence, and for two years ( under the unwritten law of the Senate) without power of speech, whereas Senator Fulton already holds important positions on leading committees, and has shown his ability to speak and to care for the interests of the State and City. He has the esteem of his associates in the Senate and the confidence of the community in which he has lived. The Secret Service force of the United States has apparently been en gaged for years in a microscopical investigation of his past without making a single dis- ' closure that any fair - minded man would deem worthy of the slightest consideration. He authorizes the statement that he believes in the popular election of Senators, as he be lieves in the people's rule in all things wherein they express themselves, and, while he doesn't believe that it is his part, himself a candidate, to dictate to candidates for the Legislature what statements they shall sign or what pledges they shall give, he binds himself to ob serve the people's will, and, if defeated at the polls, not to carry the contest further.- Denver, thence to Los Angelea and Sn Francisco, and arrived In Portland five weeks ago. He. has been working aa a wolte.r In th Pup restaurant sine his arrival here, he said, being reluctant to take up the work assigned him. After writing the letter to Mr. Sichel he said he carried it about In hla pocket five days trying to get up courage to deliver It. Trace Conrse of Adter. The fact that Adler was working in a restaurant Indicated he was not in good circumstances, while ttvree pawrr tickets in hla pockets would nwm to In dicate he waa in financial straits, unless put there as a ruse hy instruction of con federates. The fact that he has been traveling extensively and that he wore clothes of an expensive make and cut. show he must have been well supplied with funds In the past. While In San Frawisco he says he worked a steward In a hotel and did similar work In Den ver, although previous to that time he was unable to tell where he had done anv useful ' work-, 'Have you ever been tn an asylum?" was one of the questions asked him by the police, during the eour of examina tion aa to his past history. "Do you think I am crazy?' he asked, laughingly. "I am not and never have been." He is of email stature, has sharp blue eye's, a heakieii nose and a cast of countenance, which would not have to be made up to fit him for the role of Anarchist of a comic opera. He speaks with the pronounced Austrian accent. Last night he admitted the charges against him with the same freedom as at the time of his arreat. "I took the letter to Mr. Sichel." he said. "I had to do it. They selected me In New York for this, and when you are selected, you have to do it." Resents Term of Anarchist. Adler resented the term Anarchist when It was applied to him. "I am not an Anarchist." he said sharply. "I do not like that name. You people In America do not under -f ff. J important ! 4 L-Leef stand. Here the Anarchist, the Social ist and the Nlhlltat are all alike. You do not know any difference. We do not like the Anarchists." Aa to the precise nature of the or ganization of which ha said he was the agent, he refused to say anything. "The letter tells all that I can say," he said. "But I will aay this, that T am glad to be her In your Jail. I feel safe. I hope they will deport me from thl country. I would like to escape And get back to Austria, where they cannot get me for what I have done. I could change my name and go to work some place where I would not be bothered." Gain Nothing by Queries. At o'rlock tonight another pro tracted questioning process was taken up by th police, but nothing was gained. Adler seemed to enjoy It, smil ing frequently at the questions put to him. "I'm glad I'm In jail." he told the of ficers repeatedly. "But do not like the kind of jail you have. It Is not f'.t f6r a dog." He refused to anawer any question as to the location of his room, and up to last night his lodgings could not b located. When his abode or rendezvous Is located. It is hoped to find papers that will aid In alftlng the case out. Although much worried over the In cident last night. Mr. Sichel waa In clined to take a quiet view of the let ter, accepting the theory that Adler was alone In his attempt to extort money and that the story of a Nihilist plot was concocted by Adler In the hope of being deported.
