STRENGTHEN CASE
AGAINST ARKELL
Oakland PoHce Discover Many
Suspicious Circumstances
in Probing Murder.
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.

REJECTS STREET RAILWAY
Citizens of Medford Again Defeat
Proposal to Grant Franchise.
MEDFORD. Or.. 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

LONDON. Aug. 31. Harry Benson,

When the prisoners were arraigned the
prosecuting attorney said that 1S.00O poor
people had been destituted by the Inter

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.

DROPS lil LAKE ERIE
Balloon Queen Louise Rescued
by Steamer.
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.

PLANNED TO SELL FIGHT
California Boxer Intended to Lose
Bout to Make "Clean-up."
ABERDEEN. Wash.. Aug. 31. (Spe
cial.) 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.

Markette's Victory In - Futurity
Places Filly In Ranks of Great
Winners Other Heavy
, Profit-Takers.
NEW YORK. Aug." 31. James R.
Keene's racing stable passed the 1300,000
mark in its earnings for the season of
1908 last Saturday at the Sheepshead Bay
track when the single Item of the fu
turity made the biggest addition of the
year to the stable's earnings. The stable
which last year made a new world's rec
ord for winnings, with a total of $400,000,
Is well In the lead of the winning list
of the present year, and In spite of the
altered conditions of racing under the
new law, has every prospect of closely
approaching the remarkable record of
1907. 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. Maskette's record ranks in
brilliance with that of the champion,
Colin, winner of three races and $50,000
this season, and of 15 races and $182,000
in his two seasons of racing, while the
stable still has a third horse that prac
tically is unbeaten in Celt, whic.h was
second to his stable-mate, Colin, in the
Flatbush stake last season, and won all
his other races, one at 2-year-old and
two at 3-year-old, with $29,000 to his
credit. The other most notable winners
of the stable this season are Ballot, with
$29,500, and Helmet, with $18,200. In the
big stable 19 horses have each won one
or more races and a total of $220,683.
