ONCE TERROR OF MISSOURI
Burglar 1Vho Murdered Anblle and
Committed Suicide Tells ot Long
and Varied Career of
Crime in West.
L09 ANGELES. Cal.. Sept. 11 Carl
Southerland. the youthful self-slain mur
derer of Captain of Police Walter H.
Aublle. left letters which. If the contents
be true, prove him to have been a most
remarkable criminal. One of these let
ters, containing many thousand words,
written In a fine hand, was at first be
lieved to be fiction, but several feature
of the confession have since been verified.
Southerland said he was born at La
mar, Mo., and early became a member
of a gang which terrorized that locality.
He first aided two criminals, who were
wanted for robbing -a depot at Oswego,
Kan., and shooting a Deputy Sheriff, in
escaping In a canoe on the Neosho Biver,
and later Joined them and others in Dom
ing up an Iron Mountain train at Mal
vern. Ark.
Near Ponca, Okla., he was captured by
a vigilance committee, but escaped by
knocking down his guard with a club ana
later holding up one of the vigilantes and
robbing him of hta gun, purse and horse.
Members of his gang killed several men
. at different times in this vicinity. He
aided in a Jallbreak at Lamar and later
helped hold up a Choctow train, near
Memphis. He was finally arrested at
Okmulgee In the Creek Nation and
taken to Lamar by Sheriff Harlow, where
he was sentenced to the Teform.. school
for 1" months at BooneiIle, Mo.
A telegram received in Los Angeles this
afternoon from the superintendent of the
reform school at Boonville. Mo., says that
Southerland was an Inmate of the re
formatory during the years 1SS2-3. Several
former Missouri residents in this city
have confirmed parts of Southerland's
history.
He Joined the Army as a musician and
deserted in Monterey. Cal. After work
ing as a waiter in the California Club In
Los Angeles he went to Canada, where
he and others held up a train at Mission
Junction and another at Yakima, Wash.
Afterward he held up and robbed a street
car in South San Francisco and after an
unsuccessful attempt on a Kentucky
street car in San Francisco, fled to Los
Angeles.
Southerland confessed to a number of
local crimes. He gave names of the mem
bers of the gang with which he was as
sociated and accounted for the violent
deaths of several of them.
Southerland married in this city and
his wife has been working as a waitress
at Long Beach. She knew nothing of the
criminal record of her husband. He gave
aliases of Joseph Palmer, Jack Ames and
Carl Sherwood.

WASHINGTON, Sept- 11. Govern
ment officials here say that in the
whole northern half of the United
States, from Coast to Coast, it Is likely
that the year will go down as one of
the worst, for forest fires, in the last
quarter century. ThLs year's actual
losses from forest fires in all parts of
the country will be up high in the mil
lions. The officials say the fires have
started a wide-spread movement in
many states to check them by adopting
rational systems of fire protection.
The total coat of the forest fires on
the carefully patrolled National forest
reserves for the season, exclusive of
the salaries of forestry officers, will
not be more than 30.000.

Ifl GOOFS ACT
Jury Acquits Man Who Shot
Dreyfus at Obsequies
of Zola.
THOUGH HE BOASTS OF ACT
Enemies of Dreyfus Try Vainly to
Reopen Controversy Gregorl De
clares Ceremony at Pan
theon Crowning Infamy.
PARIS. Sept. 11. With the acquittal
tonight by a Jury in the assize court of
Louis A. Gregori. who fired upon Major
Dreyfus during the ceremonies last June
incident to the placing of the body of
Emile Zola In the Pantheon, the Dreyfus
affair, whicb. has divided France Into two
camps for the last 12 years, may be said
to have been buried beyond all possibility
of resurrection. The government, it was
evident from the remarks of the advocate-general
in the summing up, did not
want a severe sentence, which would
make a martyr of M. Gregorl, but merely
a correctional sentence, which would al
low the matter to die out. It was gen
erally anticipated that the court would
condemn Gregori to six months' Imprison
ment, and his complete acquittal partook
of the nature of an anti-climax.
Shouts and Cheers in Court.
Those present in the courtroom gave
vent to their feelings according to their
political views and the court resounded,
with mingled hoots and cheers. The pres
ident of the court, however, soon quelled
the disturbance by ordering the court
cleared. An attempt was made to start
a manifestation outside the building, but
this was also frustrated by the police.
The presiding Judge continued today, as
yesterday, to rule out all attempts to re
open the old Dreyfus issue, and there was
considerable turbulence In the courtroom
as witness after witness was suppressed.
These Included M. Berteaux. former Min
ister of War, and Colonel 6u Paty de
Clam. Henri Roche fort took the stand
for the defense.
Da Paty de Clam Silenced.
Colonel du Paty de Clam's rambling
statement, in which he claimed the men
now In power were in league' to prevent
the disclosure of the truth of the Dreyfus
affair, was interrupted by the judge, who
compelled nim to leave the stand on the
ground that his testimony was entirely
irrelevant. Gregori asked M. Rochefort
to disclose the deposition made before the
Court of Cassation, but the judge refused
to put the question. M. Rochefort left
the stand with an appeal to the Jury to
acquit Gregorl.
M. Bourbonne, another witness for Gre
gorl, when he was announced by the
Judge, made this explanation:
'I wished only to speak of the Munster
memoirs, which the German government
seized and never published."
Gregori thereupon shouted to the jury:-
""Now draw your own conclusions."
After the various witnesses had finished
giving their testimony, and as neither
Premier Clemenceau, War Minister Pic
quart, nor any other member of the gov
ernment appeared, M. Gregorl began his
address to the jury- He said:
Gregori's Passionate Speech.
"I appear before you because, at my
own risk and peril, I made a personal
pr&test against the Impudence of the
Dreyfusards in glorifying the author of
'Le Debacle at the Pantheon and
against the humiliation Inflicted upon the
army by being obliged to defile before the
man who twice has been convicted by a
court-martial."
"For me," the prisoner said, "the de
cree of the Court of Cassation was a ju
dicial error; the nomination of General
Picquart to be Minister of war was a
most violent blow to the morale of the
army. The Legion of Honor was dis
honored by the nomination of Dreyfus,
and the ceremony at the Pantheon came
as a crowning Infamy."
The Advocate-General. In summing up
the case for the state, charged that Greg
ori's act was a vulgar attempt at as
sassination. ALLOWS HONOR TO TOLSTOI

LEAVE IT TO BANKS
Taft Favors Voluntary Guar
anty of Deposits.
NOT ENFORCED BY NATION
Approves Plank in Kansas Platform,
1 but Still Opposes Democratic
Scheme of Guaranty En
forced by Cnited States.
TOPEKA. Kas., Sept. 11. W. II. Taft,
the Republican Presidential candidate.
In a letter to Walter R. Stubbs, Re
publican candidate for Governor of
Kansas, points out that the Kansas
platform's reference to bank deposit
insurance avoids the objections urged
against the Democratic National plat
form. Mr. Taft's letter follows:
"Middle Bass Island, Sept. 4. t
agree with you that the action of the
Republicans of Kansas as to an enabl
ing act by which banks in Kansas
may voluntarily guarantee each other's
denoslts. Is very different from the
proposition in the Democratic platform
enforcing a tax against all banks, by
which they are In effect to guarantee
the recklessness and dishonesty ot
every other bank. Under the system
proposed, for Instance, In the state of
Connecticut Mr. Hill has shown that
In the course of four years the banks
and depositors of Connecticut would
pay out $400,000 and receive nothing
back and that $400,000 would go to
help the depositors in Wall Street
banks, which through the manipula
tion of stock gamblers would use all
the deposits of the people In promot
ing wildcat speculation. .
"I do not have the statistics, but I
have no doubt the same thing, perhaps
In a less marked degree, would be true
In Kansas. Of course, you could nut
expect me to express an opinion on
a state measure of this sort, because
state legislation is not involved In the
National issues, but' you are certainly
at liberty to say what I sincerely be
lieve, that the proposition in the Kan
sas platform avoids altogether the
objection, which I urge in my speech
of acceptance, to the Democratic prop
osition for a National enforced In
surance of deposits In all banks. The
Kansas proposition comes within the
saving clause which I expressly In
serted to show that the objection I had
to make was not applicable to such
a system.
