Is Accidentally Dis
covered SEATTLT, Wash., March 1. D. A.
Hatfield, a prisoner in the county jail
is charged in a telegram sent by Dis:
trict Attorney Irwin, of Kings Coun
ty, Cal., with having forged deeds to
16,000 acres of California oil lands
and with having made a sale of the
land and obtained the deposit of the
cash against the deeds in a California
' bank.
Mr. Irwin telegraphed to the Seattle
prosecutor asking him to hold Hat
field on three charges of forgery.
Hatfield is in jail here under sen
tence of two to ten years in the peni
tentiary for an attempted jail break
and is to be tried here ' on another
charge of forgery.
Hatfiled was convicted once on the
forgery charge pending here, but was
granted a new trial by the Supreme
Court, so Mr. Irwin will have to wait
until the Seattle authorities are
through with the prisoner before Cali
fornia can have him.
That Hatfield not only forged the
deeds in jail, but disposed of the prop
erty to buyers from his temporary
real estate office behind the bars is
also the charge of J. A. Crane, of
Oakland, Cal., who came to Seattle
in the interests of his mother, Mrs.
Sarah R. Crane, 1G0 acres of whose
land is said to have been sold by Hat
field under a forged deed.
The sales were stopped after the
deeds and money were in the bank
awaiting delivery through the acci
dental discovery that one of the deeds
was forged.
The time to read the Morning En

HWARA AIDE
PAYS $4,000 FINE
LOS ANGELES, March 1. Bert H.
Franklin, who pleaded guilty to cor
ruptly influencing Juror Robert F.
Bain in the McNamara trial, today
was fined $4000 by Superior Judge
Cabaniss, sitting for Judge Willis, in
the superior court here.
The amount of Franklin's fine was
exactly the sum taken from him at
the time of his arrest, while talking in
the street with Prospective Juror Geo.
N. Lockwood.
Assistant District Attorney Ford,
who has charge of this money, will
turn It over to Franklin, who will pay
his fine.
The probable effect of the Franklin
plea and fine on the case of Clarence
Darrow, who must stand trial under
a bribery charge was discussed free
ly by Darrow sympathizers and others
following today's procedure in court.
It was the general opinion that the
Darrow defense will make much of
the train of incidents in the Franklin
case in the contention that the entire
Franklin affair was a "plant."
LA FOLLETTE SAYS
HE'S STILL IN RACE
. MADISON, Wis., March 1. Flat an
nouncement that he still is a candidate
for the Republican presidential nomi
nation and emphatic denial of charges
that broken health has impaired his
availability as a candidate are made
Tiere today by the Wisconsin Senator
in a signed editorial in LaFollette's
Weekly. The article says:
"I take this- means of answering
many inquiries and misrepresentations
The statement that my health is brok
en is false. A brief rest will put me
back, as of old, on the firing line.
"I shall continue as a candidate for
all the principles which I have de
fined, and for a definite program of
legislation which will break the hold
of privilege on the industrial life of
the people and free from the burden
Imposed by fictitious capitalization. In
20 years of fighting for the progress
ive cause I have never halted or turn
ed aside to find an easy way. I have
steadfastly refused to make combina
tions in any way involving the issues
1n uncertainty. I want the aupport of
such delegates only as are willing to
win or lose, if need be, on the basis."

WORKERS ARE EXPECTED TO ACCEPT
Feeling General That Other Mills Will
Fall in Line And Make Similar
Concessions to Their
Operatives 1
LAWRENCE, Mass., March 1. The
end of the great textile strike involv
ing 20,000 operatives which began on
January 12, is thought to be in sight.
Many oi the mills have posted notices
of an' advance in warges of at least
five per cent, beginning Monday. The
advance will affect nearly 30,000 op
eratives in Lawrence and places near
by. While the Industrial Workers of the
World, whose 12,000 or more members
are idle, have not agreed to resume
work UDder the increase as posed, it
is thought many of the strikers will
return to their machines next week.
The members of the Industrial Work
ers are largely unskilled. The skilled
employes that are organized are mem
bers of unions, most of which are al
lied with the American Federation of
Labor.
The five per cent granted is based
on the 54-hour law, or, in other words,
the increase will be added to the
amount paid for 50 hours a week.
The strike was nominally due to a
reduction in wages made under a two
hours' cut in time, but the struggle
later developed a demand for 15 per
cent advance in wages the abolition of
the premium system and double pay
for overtime.
The posting of notices today in the
Arlington Cotton and Worsted Mills,
which employs 5500 hands, announcing
a wage increase of at least 5 per .cent,
to take effect Monday, was regarded
as an important step toward the
speedy settlement of the strike.
The American Woolen Company, at
Boston, today notified its agents in
all of its 33 mills in New England and
New York state, to advance wages
five per cent. The order affects about
30,000 operatives.
The notices which were posted in
all the mills of the company shortly
before noon read:
"In all mills, of this company a new
schedule of wages will be put into ef
fect March 4, 1912, involving increases
in the rates now paid by the hour and
the piece. The wages will be readjust
ted according to classes and occupa
tions, but in every case the increase
will amount to at least five per cent."
The feeling was general in Law
rence that many of the mills here
would make similar concession to the
operatives. The Arlington mills are
not connected with the American
Woolen company. A scarcity of strik
ers doing picket duty was apparent
during the hours preceding the time
for beginning work, here appeared to
be a slight increase in the number of
people entering the various mills.
A party of children who have work
ed in the mills and who had been re
quested toppear before a congres
sional committee in Washington to
morrow, left this city at 7:11 a. m. to
day. The delegation included only 13
minors, four of whom were girls.
Among the children, all of whom
have been employed in the mills, was
Carmella Peeli, 15 years old, who
about a year ago, while at work, lost
a part of her scalp, when her hair
caught in the machinery. v

INCOME TAX BILL IS
APPROVEDJY CAUCUS
WASHINGTON, March 1 In report
ing a free sugar bill to the Democratic
caucus of the House, today. Chairman
Underwood of the Ways and Means
committe, also submitted a bill which
in effect would provide an income tax
in the United States. It was proposed
that present corporation tax be ex
tended to include "individuals and co
partnerships doing business of $5000
a year or over."
Mr. Underwood said this practically
would accomplish the purposes of an
income tax and at the same time com
ply with the Supreme Court decisiou
against the constitutionality of an in

E STRIKE CAUSES
EOF FUEL
LONDON, March 1. Notification to
employes today by large industrial
firms and railroads that they may be
forced to suspend operations because
of a shortage of fuel, threatens to
cause the laying off of 4,000,000 men
unless the miners' strike in the British
coal collieries is speedily adjusted.
With the home office estimating that
1,049,407 miners are out, this would
bring the number of idle persons up
to the tremendous figure of 5,000,000.
" The situation in London already is
acute, it being calculated that the
present fuel supply will be exhausted
within two weeks. With only passen
ger vessels leaving Liverpool and the
limited supply of coal being husband
ed, the authorities realize that they
may have to cope with a food famine.
Government officials today again
conferred with representatives of the
mineowners and the men in an effort
to effect some sort of a compromise.
The strikers are standing pat, assert
ing that they will return to the col
lieries cnly when assured of the mini
mum wage scale. ,
The owners contend that this de
mand is unfair, but announce their wil
ligness to grant the wage scale in spe
cial instances. They refuse to listen
to the proposition as a general thing.
All 'hope of an immediate settle
ment of the strike ended, however,
when the conference of operators and
miners adjourned until Tuesday next.
Both sides stood firm. -
Premier Asquith is pessimistic over
the outlook, but is using every effort
to induce the operators to yield. Every
effort in this direction so far, howev
er, has failed, as the mineowners ap
parently are just as determined in
their stand as the strikers.
The government- today ordered
troops to be in readiness for strike
service. Up to the present, however,
no disorders have been reported, the
labor leaders declaring that the men
intend to win their strike in an order
ly and peaceable way.

without the aid or consent of any oth

and so convincing were the debaters
the judges were unable to return a
unanimous verdict, the decision being
two to one. Professors A. O. Freel,

Oak Grove was awarded the decis
ion by a vote of two to one in a con

the arguments.

longing to Mrs. Baker. The family
moved into the house about three
weeks ago, and the loss is keenly felt

Mr. Baker had left a short time be
fore to come to this city on business,
and his wife had gone to a well to
get water, when she heard an explo
sion and saw flames in the kitchen.
Fearing that an accident had befallen
her son Roy, who was asleep in his
room when she left the house, she
fainted. The son was awakened by
the explosion and rushing outside,
found his mother prostrate on the
ground. After resuscitating her both
turned their attention to saving some
of the household goods, but as the
flames had made such headway it was
impossible to gain entrance into sev
eral of the rooms, and only articles
near the door were saved. Mr. Baker
will begin the erection of another
home immediately. The house destroy
