of the most handsome and complete in
the Northwest.

"T am afraid of them. I want pro

"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.

"Theae people they make- 'me do
this," he told Ilyneman. "They fol

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.

to the police fetation and talk the mat

FAC SIIILIK OF LETTER PRETEXTED BV ADOLPH ADLER
The State of Oregon stands on the threshold of its complete development, the City of Port
land on the eve of- becoming the metropolis of the Northwest, if not of the Pacific Coast, pro
vided they receive at this time no injury in the house of their friends.
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

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.
