Police Eluded by Nurse, With
Stagg Baby.
EXTRADITION IS FOUGHT
Governor Hart Signs Papers for
Return of Betty Bralnerd
From Xew York.
TACOMA, Wash.. Oct. 14. (Special.)
Influence brougnt to bear by James
Beale Cohen, millionaire Virginia mer
chant, may have allowed 21-months-old
Bobby Stagg, and his nurse, Eda
Nicholson, to slip from the police.
While the Shriners, Elks and Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen all over the
United States were assisting in the
hunt for the Tacoma baby stolen by
his father on the night of September
14 last, the chief of police at Rich
mond refused to answer numerous
telegrams sent by the Tacoma detec
tive bureau.
Cohen is the son-in-law of Sigmund
Saxe, wealthy New Yorker, at whose
home Betty Bralnerd was a gue'et
when she was arrested and charged
with complicity in the kidnaping of
Bobby Stagg from his mother's home.
Extradition Paper Slarned.
Governor Hart .signed extradition
papers for Miss Brainerd today and
tonight a Tacoma officer started east
to bring her back if she has not ob
tained her freedom through the ef
forts of William Travers Jerome, ex
New York district attorney, who is
her attorney. All the legal craft he
learned in fighting for the extradition
of Harry K. Thaw will be used in
attempting to block the extradition of
the former Seattle society girl who is
alleged to have helped young Stagg
to kidnap his child.
The' Now York police advised the
Taccraa department today that every
effort would be made by Jerome to
obtain Miss Bralnerd's release when
she appears for a hearing tomorrow
In the city court presided over by
Magistrate Schwab. She has been
notified by Tacoma officers through
her lawyers that no immunity would
be granted. She was warned once
more to tell where Stagg is hiding and
where his child has been secreted.
Chief of Police Smith said that Miss
Frainerd would be rearrested if she
Was released by Magistrate Schwab
tomorrow. Governor Hart's office
likewise notified Governor Smith of
New York as to the legal status of the
case.
Clews Are Reported.
The police reported several clews
that Miss Nicholson had dropped
down into Virginia and was to have
been met by Cohen or one of his fam
ily. A warrant has been sworn out
against MLss Nicholson in Seattle and
bail fixed at $4000 on the charge.
She went from Seattle to Vancouver,
B. C, under an assumed name and
then took the Canadian Pacific for
the east. She was accompanied as
far as Vancouver by Miss Brainerd,
who returned to Seattle and later
went back to Vancouver. There she
received a !pass over the Canadian
Pacific from Max Enos, publicity
agent of the road. She was listed as
"Miss Preston, writer." x
Cohen, said advices from Richmond,
Va was angry because he had been
dragged into the case and refused to
tell anything concerning the case.
Because of his prominence Tacoma
police fear that detectives did not
give much attention to the case and
allowed Mies Nicholson to get away.
Mrs. Edith Cunningham Stagg, the
mother of the missing baby, awaits
anxiously some word concerning her
. child. With her is her mother, Mrs.
Ada Cunningham, who offered a $1000
reward for the return of the youn.g
nter. The home of Stagg's mother in
Lexington, Ky Is being watched to
see If the boy haj been taken there.

REPUBLICANS SCORE 2 TO 1
VICTORY IN ISLANDS.
TOW TORK Oct. 14. In preparing
the Chinese consortium agreement for
final signature, it was stated today
that the delegates, representing the
foremost banking Interests of the
United States, Great Britain, France
and Japan, have inserted a new clause
defining the attitude of the consor

The clause follows:
"The said national groups are of
the opinion that the Interests of the
Chinese people can in existing cir
cumstances best be served by the co
operative action of the various bank
itii? groups representing the invest
ment Interests of their respective
countries in procuring for the Chinese
government the capital necessary for
a programme of economic reconstruc
tion and improved communications.
With these objects in view the re
upective national groups are prepared
to participate on equal terms in such
undertakings as may be calculated to
assist China in the establishment of
her great public utilities and to these
ends to welcome the co-operation of
Chinese capital."
This statement was issued in re
Fponse to questions and criticisms
here and in China. Its sponsors as
sertcd there has been an "erroneous
Idea deliberately fostered on the part
oi certain interests Inimical to co
operative effort in China that the ob
Joct of the consortium was to foist
some particular scheme of develop
ments upon China and to Impose loans
upoii her, thus obtaining some special
position of advantage and domina
tion."

cial.) Result of the primary vote

None of House Designated U. S.
Depository, Says Counsel.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 14. Arguments
were heard air at n today by the su
preme court in proceedings to test
the constitutionality of the federal
farm loan bank act.
Briefs supporting the act were sub
mitted by the government and the
Kansas City Title & Trust com
pany through Charles E. Hughes and
George W. Wlckersham.
Mr. Hughes argued that congress
had authority "to create corporations
to facilitate the government in the
exercise of any proper function" and
that congress also had power to in
vest public moneys.
Counsel for Charles W. Smith, a
stockholder In the Kansas City bank
whose funds he sought to prevent
being Invested in farm loan bonds.
argued that the farm loan banks were
not banks In the true sense and that
not one of them had ever been des
ignated as a government depository.

cial.) Campaign for the creation in
Tacoma of St. Luke's cathedral to be
the seat of the diocese of Olympia in

the installation of Rev. Sidney T.
James as dean next Sunday.

cathedral, the first 'church division
below that of cathedral and is now
enabled to ask the higher rank" by

build a cathedral.

churches of the city, having been es
tablished 34 years ago. It has ranked
as a pro-cathedral for several years.
SCOUT SEEKS TEACHERS
Instructors Needed for Youth of
Clearwater School.
HOQUIAM, Wash., Oct. 11. (Spe
cial.) If baseball teams send out
scouts to get players, why isn't it
proper for a school board to send out
scouts to get teachers, saye George
Northrup of Clearwater, who is one
of a half dozen residents of the
school district of Clearwater, that
has been in Hoquiam and Aberdeen
the last few days scouting for a
teacher, "one who can pjay the piano
preferred," to instruct in the grades.
The school consists of 25 children,
from first to the eighth grade. One
teacher is on the job. but the board
wants to relieve her of some of the
work.
DAIRY LEAGUE IS LAUDED
FIGHT DECLARED TO INVOLVE
ALL CO-OPERATIVE PLANS.
U. S. Chief of Bureau of Markets
at Corvallis Declares Validity
of Contracts Is Safe.
The fight of the Oregon dairymen's
co-operative league against the milk
distributors of Portland is the fight
of every co-operative organization in
the .state of Oregon, according to
Hector MacPherson, chief of the bu
reau of markets of the Ijnited States
department of agriculture stationed
at the Oregon Agricultural college,
in a letter received yesterday by
Alma D. Katz, president of the league.
According to Mr. MacPherson the
recent deci-sion given by Circuit Judge
McCourt against the league does not
affect the validity of contracts exist
ing between dairymen and the league,
nor should this decision cause any
dairyman to hesitate to join the
league.
"Dairymen of Oregon should re
double their efforts to strengthen this
organization on account of the deci
sion," wrote Mr. McPheraon. "In the
course of his argument, 'Judge Mc
Court directs some criticism at the
league and its contract, but In render
ing his decision he made It very clear
that while refusing the temporary
injunction his decision does not in
volve the legality of the contract.
"This fight of the dairymen is the
fight of every co-operatlve organiza
tion in the state. It is, of course, un
fair that they should be called upon
to bear so much of the burden of
establishing the principles of derrc
racy in business. The time may come
when other co-operative organiza
tions and all real friends of co-operation
will have to come to their as
sistance. In the meantime it is up
to the dairymen to strengthen their
organization until it shall have be
come so strong- that no attempt to
overthrow it can seriously affect Its
prosperity.
"In fact I believe that on the whole
this fight is doing the co-operative
movement in Oregon much more good
than harm. It has aroused the in
terest of thoughtful people In every
walk of life throughout the state.
Never before since I came to Oregon
have I heard so many prominent busi
ness men express an interest In the
co-operative movement and offer
their assistance in promoting it. I
believe that this interest on the part
of our -prominent business men arises
from a conviction that autocracy in
business has had its day and that
most sensible solution for our pres
ent industrial, social and political
unrest lies in the co-operative movement''
TWO HOMES ARE ROBBED

ported to Have Obtained $400.
