SUSPECT WILL NOT TALK Said to Have Been Seen With Mrs. Donohue on "ight of Her Death Mud From Grave on His Clothing. OAKLAND. Aug. SI. One link after another is being: added by the Oakland police authorities to the chain of cir cumstantial evidence which they have gathered against Oustav Arkell, charged with the murder of Mrs. Alice Lucretia Donahue, wife of Daniel Don ahue, a motorman. Late this afternoon Mrs. Emma Vera, of No. 1282 Sixty-first street, in Elm hurst, a friend of both the accused and the murdered woman, positively identified a pair of mud-stained trous ers found in Arkell's room as the ones he wore on the night the crime is alleged to have been committed. June II. In addition she identified the spade found concealed under the factory with Mrs. Donahue's clothing, as belonging to the prisoner. . ... But perhaps the most tangible clue in the case was given by Mrs. Kliza beth Smith, mother to the boy Frank Walsh, who. together with his dog. first discovered the woman's clothing and then a day later dug up the body. Tangible Clew Found. Mrs. Smith saw a man and a woman at 8:30 o'clock on the night of the mn-Hr iiirkfnflr in the shadow of the furniture factory where the body was j found. She and her husband were re turning from a drive. Their barn is within 100 feet of the factory. She first heard voices and then in one of the windows saw the reflection of a man and a woman. Mrs. Smith told the police today that she had remained silent until now about the Incident because her husband wanted to avoid any further notoriety in the case, enough having been giypn through the part his stop-son Frank Walsh had taken. Today, however, the woman consulted with her priest and upon his advice disregarded her husband's wishes and made known the facts. The detectives attach great import ance to this disclosure, for there has been great difficulty In tracing the whereabouts of either Arkell or the murdered woman on that night. Arkell Resists "Sweating." So far as Arkell is concerned, he has steadfastly refused, even after 24 hours of solitary confinement and continued "sweating;" to make any declaration excepting that of innocence. He is sullen and declines to answer even the smallest query as to his past, or as to any of his movements on the day and night of the supposed murder. The police have established, beyond any doubt, that he was frequently seen in clandestine meetings with the dead woman; that he owned the spade found with her garments near her grave; that he bothered her so much with his at tentions' that she frequently complained of it. In addition, a search of his rooms dis closed that a pair of trousers and a light overcoat, both of which he con stantly wore, were stained with mud a mud different from any excepting such- as was found in the vicinity of the factory where the clothing was found, and where the body was found burled. Had Woman's Locket. Another link is found in his posses sion of a gold locket belonging to the dead woman, which he exhibited after her disappearance, and which he told friends he had picked up. Another feature which the police lay great stress upon is the way Arkell constantly agitated the community with goesip to- the effect that Mrs. Donahue had eloped; and not later than a weeK ago his story of having seen her in San Francisco-. Most of the efforts of the police today were spent in hunting up the past of the prisoner. In addition to the fact of his arrest three years ago in San Francisco under the name of Gustave Ostdahl. .upon the charge of trying to poison his second wife by putting ar senic in her coffee, they learned that his. first wife was drowned and his last one secured a divorce, and that he had figured in the East In a sensational police case, details of which have not yet been learned. Wrote Threatening Letter. The police also have In their posses sion a "black-hand" letter written to Joseph Mondine, of 1218 Sixty-second street, who was a neighbor of the Don ahues and Arkell. The letter reads: "If you don't bring that lumber back you stole from me I will see to It that you are lynched. If you don't bring back my stolen tools, I will blow you and your home high Into the air with dynamite. And be quick ' about it. That's my name." . Mondine. who 1 is employed in a slaughter-house became greatly excited over th? matter and placed the letter in the hands of the police last week for In vestigation. It was during the search of Arkell's house since his arrest that some of his handwriting attracted one of the detectives. A cursory examination was followed by placing the different- samples of handwriting and the threatening letter with an expert. . Arkell Lost Tools. In connection with this matter the police have learned that Arkell. who Is a car penter, 'divt lose some tools and some lumber and that he -had threatened the thief. If ho found him, with dire venge ance. In Arkell's home, a shack in the rear of the home he owned and rented to others, and which Is close to the Dono hues. the police found a Winchester rifle with its magazine full, two loaded revolvers and a smaller rifle. The man, according to all who knew him. never hunted and never told of his possession of the firearms. The Oakland authorities were consider ably excited today over the efforts of a mart alleging himself to be a former law yer friend of Arkell, to ee the prisoner. He was denied admission to the man this morning. Several hours later Mrs. Eliza beth Laumelster, wife of John J. Laumeister, an ex-Sheriff of San Fran cisco obtained & warrant In one of the courts of that city for the arrest of Arkell on a charge of burglarizing her home on September 17. 19"6. stealing some valuable papers and Jewelry. Pollre Fear Plot. The woman said' she recognized his pic ture in a newspaper and alleges she Identified him In the city prison. The latter Is denied by the- Oakland authori ties who have taken the question up with the, San Franctaeo people with a view of stopping any scheme to get the prisoner out of the custody of the Oakland police for the present. The authorities In this case are con fronting; a feature which is a novel jne. Unless there is a confession from some one, or the chemists find poison in the viscera, there Is a difficult task before thorn to prove how Mrs. Donohue came to her death. The body was so far decomposed that any attempt to show a strangulation was barred. There was no damage to the skull nor are any of the bones broken. GOVERNOR OPPOSES BILL Georgia Legislature's Efforts for . Prison Reform May Fall. ATLANTA. Ga.. Aug. a. Georgia's efforts to co -rect the convict lease system through legislation at a special session of the House and Senate of the state may not amount to anything: Indica tions were todav that the measure known as the Holder bill, which has already passed the House, does not meet with the approval of Governor Hoke Smith, and that he will not sign it under any circumstances. There is no limit to tha time of the extra session and there were reports about the capitol today that It would be prolonged beyond October. Early in October the regular election In Georgia will be held and with this election the terms of the present members of the general assembly will expire. The extraordinary session of the new legislature would be embarrassing, as one of Its first duties would be to canvaaa the vote for Governor and declare Joseph M. Brown Governor of the state In suc cession to Hoke Smith. A minority report from the Judiciary commutes today recommended that the prison commission be abolished.

Aug. 31. (Special.) For the second time within the year Medford citizens today at the polls turned down the proposition to grant a street failway franchise by a vote of 99 to 216. But little electioneering was done and the .conflicting election slogans were: "Grant a 50-year franchise and have one mile of road in operation within a year" and "A city franchise will cut out im mediate chances for an interurban line." Rapidly increasing population and the volume of business within a radius of 20 miles from Medford indicate that the day will soon come when a line must encircle the valley, and the amount of business In Medford alone will Justify the building of such a line, but for the time being at least the large majority saw fit to vote according to today's showing. BANKERS ARE ARRESTED Benson and Petty Accused of Swind ling England's Poor. LONDON. Aug. 31. Harry Benson, othe rwise known - as Eebro, and George Petty, directors of the International Securities Corporation, limited, and Falthams Bank, which were recently placed in the hands of a receiver, were arrested today charged with attempting to obtain money on fraudulent pretenses. When the prisoners were arraigned the prosecuting attorney said that 1S.00O poor people had been destituted by the Inter national Securities Corporation and over 5000 others by the bank, both of which concerns were declared by the High Court of Justice as fraudulent promo tions. Benson, the police say, was con victed some years' ago in America. AMERICAN SEALER TAKEN Is Member of Crew of Japanese Schooner Seized by Cutter. VICTORIA. B. C, Aug. 31.

CANNOT REMAIN UP IN AIR British Army Officer Meets Disaster in . Columbus Race Chicago Makes Landing After 64 Mile Voyage. BUFFALO. N. T.. Aug. 31 The bal loon Queen Louise, which started with two other balloons from Columbus, O., Saturday afternoon with Lieutenant J. J. Bennett, of the British Army bal loon corps as pilot, accompanied by Tom L. Semple. was picked up in Lake Erie yesterday off Pigeon Island. Ow ing to a defective valve, the pilot was unable to keep the balloon in the air. After throwing out all of their ballast they sighted the steamer Mohegan and signalled that they were in danger. The captain of the ship accompanied them for nearly ten miles, when see ing that It was impossible to keep the balloon In the air any longer, they cut the bag. The two passengers, with the balloon, were taken aboard the Mohe gan and brought to this port, arriving here this afternoon none the worse for their mishap. Lieutenant Bennett In speaking of the trip, said that all went well until they struck the lake when about three miles above it. "When I attempted to make a land ing. I discovered that the gas valve was tuck and would not open," said Lieutenant Bennett. "About 2 A. M. Sunday we were over Lake Erie and not more than 200 feet above the sur face. Our gas had become chilled, but we managed to keep afloat. When the sun began to rise, it expanded our gas and caused us to ascend. We got up to an altitude, so far as I could esti mate, of about 20.000 feet. We lay down in the basket and fell asleep. I woke with a start, feeling a rush of cold air over me. . "The air again condensed the gas and the balloon was dropping. We dropped possibly 10,000 feet within four minutes, going down at a terrific speed. When we reached warmer cur rents, the balloon balanced again and we sighted the steamer Mohegan. We signalled the steamer and Captain Cun ningham agreed to stand by. On sig nal from the balloon, the captain low ered boats and rescued us from the rigging of the balloon, to which we were clinging, I having pulled the rip ping cord and permitted the gas to es cape and the balloon to drop into the water." CHICAGO MAKES LANDING Battles With Counter-Currents In Flight of 64 Miles. PIQUA ,0.. Aug. 31. The Chicago, the biggest balloon to leave Columbus in the Aero Club race came down three miles and a half northeast of Fletcher, about 64 miles from Columbus.' at 10:16 this morning. . Counter-currents of air kept the balloon fluctuating back and forth. At one time the balloon at an altitude of 4000 feet was within three miles of Plqua, and 68 miles from Columbus. C. A. Coey, the owner and pilot, and Captain G. L. Bumbaugh, were Jubilant over the. success of the flight. The drop of 4000 feet was made In less than a minute. WRIGHT POSTPONES FLIGHT Accident to Rudder Results In Dam age to Aeroplane. LEMANS, France, Aug. 31.-AVllhur Wright, the American aeroplanist, re sumed his flight today. A slight acci dent, however, resulted In the ascensions being temporarily abandoned. While tak ing the machine out of its shed Wright's assistant damaged the steel band of the rudder, but nevertheless Mr. Wright de cided to make a flight. Upon being launched the machine did not act prop erly, the airship moving obliquely In stead of horizontally, and after maneuv ering for 56 seconds Wright stopped the motor. On account of the erratic rudder the aeroplane landed violently after the motor power had been shut oft and sev eral rods were damaged. Mr. Wright was not injured and immediately started to repair the damage caused by the shock. It was rumored here that Mr. Wright will surely try to fly from Calais to Dover, and perhaps to London. Mr. Wright, however, told the Associ ated Press today that there was no truth in the reports. He said: "It is no more Impossible to make a flight of 30 kilometers over the sea than over land, but In the present state of Im perfection and insecurity of aeroplanes a sea flight would be a dangerous ex periment." NEW BALLOON ANCHOR TESTED Water Drag Will Save Aeronaut's Blown Out to Sea. NEW YORK, Aug. 31. isaval officers and aeronautic enthusiasts yesterday wit nessed the successful trial of a new bal loon, water anchor in the North River. Leo Stevens is the Inventor, and it is so constructed that it may be dropped into the water and will hold the balloon as long as desired. By pulling a cord the bottom is opened and the anchor is easily lifted. The test was made with a 20-horsepower motorboat. The anchor was dropped from the stern and held the boat stationary. When the bottom was opeired the boat shot ahead at full speed., Those who wit nessed the trial said it was very satisfac tory. It is the purpose of the anchor to save the lives of aeronauts who are blown out to sea. In case the balloon was being driven out to sea. the anchor could be dropped and signals made for help. If no ships appeared, the anchor: could be re leased and the balioon would go on again without sacrificing very much ballnst or gas. SAILS TO BREAK RECORDS Balloon Ville de Dieppe Aims at Dis tance and Duration. COLUMBUS. O-. Aug. 31. Captain Au gust E. Mueller, pilot, sailed tonight in the balloon Ville de Dieppe in an attempt to break the records for distance and dura tion In balloon flights. Captain Mueller took with him as passengers Perry Greg ory, aged 16. and Gerald Gregory, aged 18. sons of Charles E. Gregory, of Chi cago, owner of the balloon. , The Ville de Dieppe has a capacity of 7S.0C0 cubic feet of gas and it is fully in flated. Tne balloon carried 1330 pounds of ballast, nearly a hundred pounds more than the Chicago, said to be the largest balloon in the world, when the latter sailed In the Chicago 'race July 4. Pro visions and water for 10 days were car ried. The Ville de Dieppe was cut loose at 8:30 P. M., and sailed away to the north in a brisk breeze", which. If maintained, will carry It over the lakes by morning. Timely Gossip of the Diamond IT is seldom that Captain Casey loses i his head like he did in the disastrous ninth Inning of the first game Sunday. With the ball In his hand, he deliberately allowed La Longe to run to within 20 feet of the home plate before he could make up his mind that the Oaklander meant to score, and then 'twas too late. . Lewis, Oakland's new left fielder, looks like a promising youngster. Two of his catches Sunday of Johnson's long hits were beauties. Los Angeles today, and perhaps better luck. Portland Is the only team that has been able to win a majority of games from the leaders, and we hope for better exhibitions than with Oakland. This year it is the National instead of the American League which is having a close race for the pennant. Chicago, Pittsburg and New York are fighting it out for honors, with New York the favorite on account of having a long series at home to finish the season. There's no telling, though, and any of the teams might land on top. Detroit, In the Amer ican League, has a good lead over St. Louis and probably will take premier honors In that league, but there's a long road to travel yet, and St. Louis is com ing strong. Patrick will probably do better next time he pitches. He has more speed than any pitcher on the circuit and it is a pleasure to watch him. . . . Charles Street, catcher of the Washing ton team, recently caught a ball dropped from the top of Washington monument. 550 feet high. It is the first time anyone has been able to accom plish this feat, although many fam ous baseball players have tried it. It was figured out that when the ball struck the catcher's glove It would be going at the rate of 135. feet per second. Charles Street in 1907 caught on the San Francisco club of the Pacific Coast League. Wagner 1s leading the National League with .333, with Donlin second at .323. Sheepshead Bay Results.

The most sensational pugilistic exposure since that of Tommy Burns and "Philadelphia Jack O'Brien" in Los Angeles, was made today, when Robert Oliver, matchmaker and physical direc tor of the Aberdeen Athletic Associa tion, called off the Walter Stanton Mike Mclsaacs fight. scheduled for next Friday night. Oliver's reason for taking this action is that Stanton had required a "frame up" whereby the Californian was to lose and make a "cleanup" in the betting. Oliver says that Saturday he received a special delivery letter from Stanton stating that the Californian had some money and that he thought there was a possibility of "cleanlngup" coin here by losing the fight to Mclsaacs. This missive so angered Oliver that he im mediately wired to San Francisco to cancel the transportation sent Stanton. Should the Californian come here, a warm reception will await him from Oliver and the directors of the Aber deen Athletic Association.

With Maskette's victory In the fu turity, the filly took rank among the great winners of the stable, with three races and a total of $35,600 won in her brief career, through which she has been unbeaten.
