S INTO VWGOUVEH
Fifteen Hundred :&re Coming
From Honolulu --Within
Next Month. .
THREE HUNDRED AT ONCE
All Are Armed nd No Steps Taken
to Disarm Them Lodging-House
Keepers Have a Hard Time
to Find Accommodations.
VANCOUVER, B. C Jan. J. (Special.)
Th unexplained arrival of 300 Japanese
in Vancouver today and the prospect of
an Influx of another 1200 within the next
month from Honolulu are the features of
the Oriental situation in Vancouver. "Why
the 300 Japs came to Vancouver today Is
a mystery. All morning: they poured into
town from the coast logging camps, and
some even from the American aids of the
boundary line. The boarding-house keep
ers of Japtown had a busy time housing
them. Tonight there is the usual crop of
rumors that they came In view of possi
ble trouble, and officers of the Asiatic
Exclusion League are much perturbed
over the event.
Today it was announced that at least
1000 Japanese would come from Hawaii
during the next three weeks. One steam
er, already chartered, will leave Honolulu
with 150 aboard for Vancouver the first
of next week. Two other charters are
now being arranged to carry the others.
Then, too, all the accomodations on
steamers of the Canadian-Australian line
have been secured six montus ahead on
behalf of the Japanese of Honolulu.
There is room In the steerage for only 60
by each steamer.
Of course, technically, the paternal Jap
anese government cannot do anything to
prevent the coming of these Japanese to
British Columbia, for the Japs are free
will agents, once they have turned In
their passports at the islands, and there
is really nothing to prevent them inflict
ing their presence on this outpost of
Great Britain, the ally of Japan.
So far no action has been taken by the
police or other authorities towardB the
disarming of the Japanese. It is estimat
ed that there are hundreds of serviceable
firearms in the Japanese section and the
Japanese are represented as just itching
to use them.
WIDE DIVERGENCE IN VALUES
Different Figures Given by Stafci
and by Rail-way Experts.
OLTMPIA, Wash., Jan. 3. (Special.)
- The Railroad Commission hearing to
' day was given up entirely to. the tak
ing of evidence of witnesses for the
O. R. & N. as to the value of that
road's property in this state. Assist
ant auditor Watkins concluded his evi
dence begun yesterday as to the origi
nal cost of the line, checking by items
. and comparing them with the figures
, submitted by State Expert Gillette.
J. W. Morrow, tax agent for the O. R.
' & N.. was the next witness. His evi
i dence chiefly was regarding terminal
I property at Walla Walla and Spokane.
J In his opinion, the property at Walla
Walla is worth $286,000, while the state
, experts valued it at but 134,000.
The property of the road at Spokane
was valued by Mr. Morrow at about
six times what the commission experts
turned in. Mr. Morrow testified that
the Jenkins tract, bought at Spokane
a year ago, for about $100,000, was to
day worth about 1900,000.
The Commission expects to conclude
the hearing tomorrow so far as the
O. It. ft N. is concerned and to take up
the Hill lines. Attorneys and many
witnesses for the latter road have been
here several days waiting to take up
the work.
FINDS WALSWORTH IS GUILTY
Coroner's Jury in Mankins Killing
Affair Returns Verdict.
JACKSONVILLE, Or.. Jan. 3. (Special.)
After two days' Investigation the Coro
ner's Jury impaneled to inquire into the
cause of the death of James W. Man
kins found that the dead man came to his
death by a gunshot wound Inflicted by a
bullet fired from a rifle in the hands of
Charles H. Walsworth, and that thlB shot
was fired by Walsworth with criminal in
tent. The case seems to be very compli
cated, owing to the number of witnesses
and the genera confusion. In all, 12 wit-
' nesses were queried, and 48 closely type
written pages of testimony were taken.
The Jury recommended that Henry Man
kins and Norvell Walsworth be held as
witnesses pending the trial of Charles
Walsworth.
The inquest brought out but very little
' additional Information. According to wit
nesses, Walsworth had threatened to kill
half the population In the neighborhood
where he resided, and was looked upon ss
a very undesirable citisen. Norvell Wals
worth. the young man who was shot in
the face, is not as seriously injured as
was at first supposed. and will soon re
cover. The .senior Walsworth is in a
very serious condition, and grave doubts
are felt as to whether or not he will live
to come to trial.
FIND BODY OF MURDERED MAN
, Thought to Be James Smith, Father
. t - of Oakland Sister.
( SEATTLE, Wash.. Jan. J. (Special.)
. With his arms securely . tied and around
J his neck a buckskin thong which looked
. as though the other end had been around
a rock, the body of a man supposed to
be James Smith, father of Sister M. Lut
garde, of St. Joseph's deaf mute home,
M3 Telegraph avenue, Oakland, Cal., was
found washed upon the beach a few miles
'from here this morning. The boys who
found the body, which had been In the
water several days, notified a boatman,
who brought the body to Ballard, from
whence it was brought to the morgue in
this city.
The corpse is that of a man about 60
years old. of medium height and weight.

which was on the body was found a letter
addressed to "Dear Father" and signed
with the name of the Sister mentioned.
The coat was marked "James Smith."
No report of any crime has been received
which is cleared up by finding the body,
but every appearance indicates that the
man was murdered.

EARTH SHAKES IN ARCTIC
SEVERE SHOCK SUNDAY ON
CAPE PRINCE OF WALES. ,
Disturbance Recorded In Maryland
and Also by Instruments on Isle

SEATTLE, Jan. 3. A special tele
gram to the Times says:
Reports just reaching Nome are to
the effect that a severe earthquake
visited Cape Prince of Wales Sunday,
lasting two minutes. The whole sec
tion shook and ImmenJk quantities of
rock were loosened from the nearby
cliffs. The natives and white people
were frightened by the severity of the
quake.
Cape Prince of Wales to northwest
of Nome, at the entrance of the Behr
ing Straits. The Alaskan Coast has
been visited by many seismic convul
sions in the past year, but that coming
at the close of the year is regarded as
the most severe. Because of the diffi
culty of communicating with the local
ity of the quake, details are slow in
arriving. '
The coast and geodetic survey in
struments at Cheltenham', Md., regis
tered a heavy earthquake last Sunday
about midnight, which Is said to have,
lasted two hours, according to the press
reports. The maximum displacement
was 64 milimeters. The expert in
charge of the station were at a loss to
locate the disturbance. The earth
quake reported from Cape Prince of
Wales, no doubt, is the convulsion re
corded. At the same time, the selsmological
Instruments at Shlde Hill Observatory,
on the Isle of Wight, gave evidence of
something unusual stirring within the
bowels of the earth somewhere.
Professor John Milne, well known
earthquake authority, said at the time
that It was one of the greatest dis
turbances he had ever observed, re
calling the upheaval that played havoc
at Kingston, Jamaica.

Shock Too Much for Aged Father-in-.
Law, Who Falls in Faint. .
ABERDEEN. Wash., Jan. 3. (Special.)
The death of Samuel H. Smith, Sr.,
aged 70, a pioneer of this section; was a
rather tragic one. Mr. Smith's daughter-in-law,

to see her. On being notified of her death,
Mr. Smith faintsd and fell to the floor.
He arose, took a few steps and fell dead.
Mr. Smith was born in England, Feb
ruary 7, 1S38. When 16 years old he came
to this country with his foster parents,
landing at New Orleans. He crossed the
plains seven times before the advent of
the railroad, and same to the Coast from

Gives Policeman Hard Fight.
SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 3. (Special.)
Several miles from the home which they
had left in a spirit of adventure, two
girls, one 10 and the other 14 years old,
were found sleeping in the scanty straw
which covered the floor of a boxcar at
West Seattle last night. Guarding them
was a pet dog, which gave the policeman
who arrested the girls the light of his
life.
The policeman attempted to climb into
the car and the dog flew at him, tearing
his coat sleeves and drawing blood froml
his hands. -The officer brought his club
into use and when the girls saw their pet
was being beaten they called him off. The
girls were taken to police headquarters
this morning after having spent the night
in the home of the patrolman, where they
told a sad tale of being abandoned by
their parents. While they were repeating
the tale at headquarters this morning
Mrs. F. P. Andrews came into report the
disappearance of her daughters, and she
&t once recognized the girls as her own.
The girls then admitted that they had
concocted the tale told the policeman,
and said they had given wrong names so
that they would not be brought home,
but might get a chance, to continue on
their runaway journey.

HOQUIAM, Wash., Jan. . (Special.)
City CounciC tonight took up the matter
of Marshal ifcKenney's resignation, on
a petition signed by Kl residents. The
signatures, like the throng at the Council
meeting, -were1 those for the larger part
of other that representative citizens.
Comparatively ew business men signed
the petition.
Many "have conl5a,unded .the cause of res
ignation with the A vet that there has been
a well defined movement among saloon
men to have the Marshal and City Attor
ney removed in ordv that the city may
be thrown open. Thi true facts in the
Kcase have been suppre;sed by the partus

The belief that the sign.a of the peti

a motion prevailed to refe the matter
to the Polios Committee, supjVemented by
a statement by the Mayor Ahat If the

MARSHAL M'KENNEY EXPLAINS
Relations With Mrs. Regan Absvwe
Criticism Except Once.
ABERDEEN, Wash., Jan. 3. (Spe
cial.) Ex-Chief of Police McKenneyi
of Hoqulam, will be reinstated in the-.
office from which be was removed a
week ago if the action of the Council
at Hoquiam tonight be a criterion, and
of this there is hardly any doubt.
Mayor Mclntyre is McKenney's friend
and the Mayor was given the alterna
tive of reappointing the Marshal or
leaving the matter as it is for a week's
time. The Mayor says that if those
who had signed the petition for Mc
Kenney's reappointment are of the
same mind by the next meeting he
will reappoint.
State Senator Poison, who was
among the great crowd which com
pletely packed- the council chamber
and overflowed Into the halls tonight,
indorsed McKenney as one of the best
officers who had ever filled the posi
tion. Postmaster Phllbrlck voiced this
sentiment, 'as well as other prominent
citizens.
. Ex-Chief McKenney, in a statement
after the session, told in detail his rela
tions with the Regans, whom he said
had been long time friends of his,
their friendship being severed only aft
er Regan had asked for a let-up of
the Marshal's policy In regard to root
ing out gambling and other forms of
vice- which Regan Is alleged to have
upheld and carried on.
McKenney and Mrs. Regan.
During the years that McKenney had
served as a sub-officer, he said that
the Regans had quarreled frequently
and that he bad been called in repeat
edly by one or the other of them to
settle their difficulties. At one time
he saved Mrs. Regan from drowning
and another from serious injury. For
all of these favors, McKenney says that
the Regans were deeply' grateful, and
only when he declared his intention of
dealing with Regan as to gambling
devices in his place of business did
the rupture come, and the allegations
which culminated in written charges
to the City Council and his subsequent
resignation made.
"In the special session of the Council,"
said McKenney, "at which I resigned,
and which was called by the Mayor at
my suggestion, I admitted I had been
indiscreet in dealing with Mrs. Regan,
but I solemnly deny that, her charges
covering many offenses are true in any
respect. Only once would my dealings
with Mrs. Regan be a subject of criti
cism, and then there were absolutely ex
tenuating circumstances. So false were,
the general accusations that no man
could have held his temper at the meet
ing where Regan accused me of long and
continued misdemeanors with his wife,
and I would do the same thing over
again should he again make the sweeping
declarations Which he did." ..
Stands TJp for Mrs. Todd.
Speaking of the Todd case, the former
Marshal declared that he was free to say
absolutely without bias or prejudice that
in his opinion, Mrs. Todd was never -a
party to the murder of her husband. Had
he ever received the slightest evidence
leading him to think she was in any way
connected witn the crime be .would have
caused her arrest.
- "Mrs. Todd" said McKenney, "is a
evoman who has been around the lumber
camps all her life with her husband in
one capacity or another, and through
that: sort of experience became a good
fellow with that class of men. Steele
was abnormal and accepted ber atten
tions like a lover. Todd was a drunkard.
and bis relations with Mrs. Todd were
not pleasant. As she admitted, the at
tentions of Steele became a matter of
criticism, but when the reform of Todd
came and Steele was given to understand
lie must not play a part any longer.
which she -fully explained in her pub
lished statement, then Steele conceived
the plot to anurder. For months, I fol-.
lowed Mrs. Todd and tried to get her
into all sorts of traps, but I finally be
came convinced, as I honestly feel so
now, that she is guiltless of any connec
tion with the killing of her husband."
REGAN DENOUNCES M'KENNEY
Declares Mayor aiclntyre Shielded

"I wish emphatically to deny the ac

of which McKenney's resignation waa
demanded, he tells an untruth
"The facts axe that some time before
McKenney was formally charged with
conduct unbecoming an officer, Mrs.
Regan, in the presence of Mayor Mc
lntyre, Judge C. W. Hodgdon and my
self, voluntarily made a statement In
which she accused McKenney ofhav
ing had undue intimacy with her on
a number of occasions. But this did
not satisfy Mayor Mclntyre, who de
manded that the charges be reduced to
writing. This Mrs. Regan agreed to
do, but when the time came for her to
make the written confession her
physical condition was such that she
could not do so, and at her request I
wrote the statement out at her dicta
tion, she afterward signing it. But this
did not suffice, for the Mayor afterward
sent for Mrs. Regan, who went to
his office and reiterated her first state
ment, t
"The demand for McKenney's resig
nation was then taken up by the
Council before which both of the
signed statements of Mrs. Regan were
read and when McKenney was asked
what he had to say he replied by say
ing that while he had some honor left
he had been unable to resist the ad
vances made by the woman. He then
sought to. place all of the blame on
Mrs. Regan, and knowing the- facts, I
called him a liar. McKenney then as
saulted me, tearing part of my clothes
from my back and striking me, from
the effects of which I was treated for
several days at the Hoquiam hos
pital. "This man McKenney invaded my
-home and destroyed it, and now that
he has been called to account, he has
undertaken, cowardly, to place all of
th blame on the woman. As a matter
ol fact, McKenney has for some time
been groomed as a candidate for Sher
iff at the next election and the reason
his political associates are standing by
him at this time is because should he
be deposed in disgrace as City Marshal,
the schemes of his political supporters
would receive a severe setback.
"Prom the beginning of this trouble
X have sought to prevent any undue
publicity of the disgraceful affair and
t would not submit this statement at
tra's time but for the fact that I want
a aquare deal. McKenney, after ruin
ing' my home, Is now seeking to pro

shlft&ig all of the blame on the wom
