SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 10. (Spe cial.) The morbidly curious crowd which has hung- intently on every word in tho trial of Maury I. Diggs. the ex- State Architect, charged Jointly with K. Drpw rnmfnptti. son of United States Commissioner-General of Immi gration, with violation of the Mann white slave law, will have to wait another day before it can return to the feast. Tomorrow is law and motion day in the United States District Court. and the affairs of Diggs will not be on view there until 10 o'clock Tuesday morning. Aside from the oft-told general story of the lives of Diggs and Camlnettl and Marsha Warrington and Lola Norris, the feature most strongly brought out by the witnesses who have testified thus far is that Digg? was the leader in the affair trom start to finish. Bills Paid by Disss. It was Diggs, according to Assistant Attorney-General Sullivan, who reiter ated to tho girls the threats, of arrest and exposure which finally induced them to run away. It was Diggs, ac cording to the conductor on the train, who produced the transportation and ' engaged the drawing-room. It was always Diggs, according to the other witnesses, who engaged rooms at the hotel in Reno, paid bills, hired the house and attended to business in gen eral. Caminetti seems to have appeared as a business manager only once, when he arranged with the grocer to supply provisions. At the opening of the trial. Attorney Marshall B. Woodworth, for the de fense, said that Diggs had 30 witnesses in attendance. It is understood that nearly a dozen of these had been brought from Sacramento to testify against the character of Marsha War rington, before the time when she went on the trip to Reno. Now that Judge Van Fleet has ruled that the previous character of the girls is absolutely im material to the case, it ispresumed that many of these - witnesses will be dispensed with.

Schneider, 22 years old, said to be a singer in cheap theaters. The name of Schneider is believed to be fictitious and the police refuse to reveal his real identity, although it is admitted that he is a friend of Clyde Stratton, the noto rious safe blower, who escaped from tne penitentiary three times and re cently was convicted of the murder of a cashier, while robbing a bank in a small Illinois town. Kaith Accuses Schneider. In the office of First Deputy Herman F. Schuettler today. Faith 'accused Schneider of having killed the aged diamond broker. .He sat facing Schnei der, while he told his story, and as he made the direct accusations, Schneider, jumped to his feet and made an effort to attack his accuser. He was seized by several detectives and forced back into his chair before any harm was done. - Schneider later denied that there was any truth n Faith's story, saying he would be able to prove that he was not in the city at the time Logue was killed. It is. said the evidence now in the hands of First Deputy Schuettler will be presented to the grand jury at an early date in an effort to have Schneider indicted. Assistant States Attorney Frank Johnston and Kdward Fleming, secretary to States Attorney Honine, were in Schuettfler's office and heard the story told by Faith. Johnston said he believed through the arrest of these men, the mystery surrounding the murder of Logue would be cleared. Stolen Jfewelry Recovered. Schuettler says he has in his posses sion a pair of earrings valued at about $30, which Faith claims were taken, with other jewels, from the safe in Logue's office after the murder. Faith, according to Schuettler, insists that Schneider gave him the diamonds two days after the murder, and says that at the same time he described to him the manner in which he committed the crime for the purpose of robbery. Schuettler also says he has a clew to the whereabouts of other articles stolen from the safe, and that detectives are now in a city near Chicago making an effort to recover them. Faith and Schneider have been under arrest since Thursday. It is said that a woman jilted by Faith told detectives she knew something about the murder. He was subsequently arrested. Schuettler is shielding the woman in the case. He denied that a woman was implicated in any way, but for three hours today a young woman carrying a baby in her arms was in consultation with Schuettler in his pri vate office. Another young woman also was taken to Schuettler's office during the afternoon.

Suffragist Gown, In "Which Builder Has Solved Problem of Af rixing Pocket Without Spoiling ' Figure, to Bo Popular. CHICAGO, Aug. 10. (Special.) The policewoman's garb and the suffragist's dress are the latest in fashion's crea tions. 1 Slashed skirts? Surely, and patch pockets, too! They're mighty mannish, but the designers echo the old, old rea son they're sensible. The "lady coppers' must have the slashed skirt and with considerable slash. Else how- can they pursue and arrest the flirtatious male or the clever girl crook whose slashed drapery is a necessity giving her freedom of limbs for rapid "get-aways." There's the rub. How can a woman who must censure the morals of others wear such a risque gown? Polirenouisn Hal Doubts. "I'm not quite sure about that slash," said Mrs. Mary Boyd, one of the woman policemen of Shakespeare Avenue feta tion. "It seems necessary, but will the public stand for it?" Mrs. Boyd knows all about slashed skirts and scanty garbs, for one of her duties has been censoring the costumes of bathers at the Fourteenth street bathing beach. Mrs. Boyd and probably all the "lady coppers" are going to view the uniform the designers have recommended for them at the animial style show of Chi cago dressmakers which opens Tues day. The uniform is made of blue serge with a brown or butf-colored athletic vest. The skirt has a large pocket and the coat has two of them. They are large enough to hold an old-style "t." or they will completely-conceal a m d ern automatic pistol of larger caliber. Sklrtaleevea Made Possible. With this costume the "lady co,.per" may pull off her.-coat and loaf around in the station .squadroom in her shirt sleeves and vest just lik3 a regular male policeman. The suffragist dress is similar, except for the helmet hat, the revolver pocket and the.shinins star. It was not be lieved possible to build a pocket on a skirt without spoiling the symmetry- of the figure, but the designers believe they have overcome this drawback and they predict much popularity for the suffragist g-own. HINDUSGQiNGTO CANADA FLAX TO LAXD 10 0,000 MOVES GOVERNMENT TO ACT. Scheme Declared Little Short ot Aim to Make Peons , of Immigrants. VANCOUVER, B. C. Aug. 10. (Spe cial.) That a well-developed scheme has matured to bring upwards of 100,- 000 Hindu men and women to Canada by the direct line of steamers, which it has been rumored is to . be started between India and British Columbia, is the report that has been received from confidential agents of tne t-ana-dian Government immigration depart ment. ' The question was officially talen up yesterday in Ottawa, where the gov ernment has decided that, though they are British subjects, they cannot be al lowed to land. It is alleged that -so carefully have the pt-.ns been made that every newcomer will be provided with the 25 imposed by the govern ment on every prospective immigrant. They are coming, according to 'the plans, on a. contract system that is lit tie short of peonage. If gentler means fail, tho government will insist on an education and language test, such as is applied in South Africa, which will keep out nine-tenths of them. ROAD BOND ISSUE IS URGED Coos County May Go in Debt $5 0O, 000 for Better Highways. COQUILLE, Or.. Aug. 10. (Special.) At a meeting here, a committee of the Coos County Good Roads Associa tion decided to recommend a special election to bond the county for $500,- 000 to build permanent highways. It was decided roads should be srraded to a width of 16 feet, but hard surfaced, at first, only nine feet. It 4s estimated that it will cost about 10, r 000 per mile to do this. .

HUNDREDS DYING IN TRAPS Plants Are Not Equipped With Cold Storage and More Than 1,000, 0 00 of Catch Will Be Wasted, According to Estimates. SEWARD, Alaska, Aug. 10. (Spe cial.) The long-delayed run of salmon, that for a month threatened to make a complete failure of the fishing in dustry in the Cooks Inlet country, has arrived, and every cannery in this sec tion is running to capacity and refus ing fish. Fish-trap men at Seldovia, Kenai, Kaselof and other points were despondent, and virtually had given up hopes of getting any fisn at all this season when the run started. The canneries were doing nothing, as they had no fish with which to work. Single traps have caught as many as 120,000 Alaska reds in three days, and at Kenai many of the traps are so choken with fish that the salmon are dying in the. traps before they can be taken out and transported to the canneries. It is estimated more than 1,000,000 fish will be caught that cannot be han dled by the canneries, owing to the rush. Mild curing plants are working to the Jimit of thecapacity, and still the fish come. It will be almost Impossible for any of the canneries to get their full pack, because, while they are plenty .of fish at this time, the canneries themselves are unable to handle all of them, and, under the United States laws govern ing fishing and fish canning, a salmon must be canned within 24 hours after it is taken from the trap. None of the canneries are equipped with cold-storage plants and, consequentlly, thou sands of fish wll be wasted. .Cooks Inlet reds, now running, are considered the best of the salmon, and will average better than seven pounds.
