Anti-Saloon Leader, R. W.
" Raymond, Resigns.
WIFE SUES FOR DIVORCE
Two Kalr C'o-RespondeuU Accused
of Alienating Jlu.-band's Affec
tions Leaves Pulpit When
Given 'otice of Action.
SHATTLJS. Wash.. Dec. 7. (Special.)
Royal V. Raymond, head of the anti
Saloon Lc-ague of tlie Mate of Wash
ington, lias resigned. Following & con
troversy in Belltnpham in which he as
serted publicly that he had been ottered
$j for the League to espouse a wond
be Sheriff's candidacy, comes a report
that he has 'been sued by his wife in
-Massachusetts for divorce, who names
two fair co-respondents in his former
tfn-k nnd alleges they alienated his
fectlons.
Raymond's resiKnation came as a sur
prise in Seattle. He was scheduled to
preach in North Yakima tonight, but he
declined to do so after receiving word
that his wife had commenced action for
divorce.
In a statement made at North Yakima
tonight he said that until he knew more
about the case he would be inclined to
consider it campaign material, manufac
tured by the limior interests. He said
"I am absolutely ignorant of any such
action. I am sure no such action was
contemplated when I visited Mrs. Ray
niond at the home of her parents In
.Massachusetts about the first of October,
nor has there been anything in our sub
sequent correspondence so to indicate,
I am quite sure no one alienated my
jiffections. nor has Mrs. Raymond once
intimated that anyone had done so. Mrs.
Raymond does not wish to come West,
though she hud expected to do so, and
siit her trunk on shortly after I came
Because, however, of her unwillingness
to come to Seattle, coupled with the
breaking of my voice under the pres
sure at which I have used It. I tendered
my resignation to the league some two
weeks ago. It has been accepted by me
headquarters committee and my suc
cessor elected, Mr. Boyd V. Doty, tne
present attorney for the League.
Mr. Ravmond preached in the Congre-
Rational Church, at North Yakima, this
morning and was to have preacnea in
the Presbyterian Church tonight. Having
leerned. however, of the divorce action
prior to the night service, he withdrew,
explaining to the committee his reason
and saying that perhaps under the cir
cumstances the congregation would like
it better if he refrained from appearing
publicly at this time.
Just re-elected to the Supreme
Bench, trusted by the people, voted for
by probably every man In this house,
chosen under the non-partisan law, who
has seen fit to resign under Are and amid
the most suspicious circumstances," is
the characterization made at the First
Methodist Church here last night by the
Rev. C. O. Kimball, of Judge MUo A.
Ront.
Of M. J. Gordon. ex-Spokane counsel
of the Great Northern Railroad, who is
believed to be implicated in the irreg
ularities In which Judge Root has been
involved. Dr. Kimball said:
"If the gossip be true, the chief 'suf
ferer is one of the railroads, the pecula
tions of whose attorney are said to have
cost it 80.000. This attorney seems for
years to have been under suspicion lo
cally because of his .high-rolling life."
Fashionable poker, fast horses and fast
women figure in the drama. This at
torney wrote a decision for the Supreme
Court to hand down as a precedent. It
Is said to be "good law,' but people are
wondering how many others of the crucial
decisions of the court are worded by the
attorney on one side or the other. Judge
Root s resignation nas oeen accepiea am
his successor appointed so that the Leg
islature can not even Investigate him,
much less impeach him.

Man Guilty of Trying to "Fix" Ruef
Jury Takes Wife.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 7. That E. A
S. Blake, the contractor convicted of at
tempting to Influence John M. Kelly, a
venireman in the trial of Abraham Ruef,
to vote for Ruefs acquittal if chosen on
the jury was allowed to leave the County
Jail last Friday to go to San Raf-ael to
marry Mrs. Pearl Bennett, was con
firmed today by Under Sheriff Peter J
Hagcerty.
Haggcrty stated that It was upon the
request and authorization of District At
torney W. H. Langdon that the man was
permitted to cross the bay and go to the
county seat of Marin County where, it
Is said, he obtained a license and was
married by a Justice of the Peace to
Mrs. Bennett, to whom he had referred
in his confession as his wife.
Blake has not yet been sentenced, and
last Friday was the prosecution's Etar
witness against Frank J. Murphy, one
of the attorneys for Abraham Ruef, who
also was indicted by the grand jury In
connection with the attempted bribery of
Kelly. Blake testified that Murphy
offered him J10. if he would not tell
about the alleged transaction.
BRITISH GIVE PROTECTION
American Gunboats Leave During
Insurrection in China.
PKKIX. Dec. 7. Reports have been
received here that the Americans in
the Yangtse Kiank territory are indlg
naut on account of the withdrawal of
the American gunboats, which went to
Manila with the Pacific fleet for target
practice, leaving no protection for
Americans during the recent Insurrec
tion at Nanking. Because of this the
American Consul-General at Hankow
William Martin, was compelled to ask
the British representative to look after
American interests at Nanking.
Detailed reports of the revolutionary
conditions which prevailed show that
had the rebels succeeded in taking
Nanking, an Insurrection would have
broken out in at least three or four
places which would have put the Amer
ican residents in great danger.

Needs of Workinguien.
PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 7. Meetings
for worklngmen, students and young nun
of the various social organizations of tho
churches were held liere Sunday under
the direction of the Federal Council of
the Churches of Christ in Amerk-a.
More than 2000 union men attended the
workincmen's meeting, which was pre
sided over by Dennis Hayes, fifth vice-
president of the American Federation ol
Labor.
Mr. Haves, in discussing "The Church
and Home Industry." said the meeting
marked an epoch in the history of the
church and organized labor. The resolu
tion on labor adopted by the Federal
council, the speaker said, was such as
to make him almost conclude It emanated
from some labor committee. Had labor
ing men been told a yaar ago that such
a resolution had been adopted by a corn
mittee of ministers, the speaker said
he doubted whether they would have be
lieved it. He declared the church was
waking up to the needs of the laboring
men. who in turn should show their ap
nreciatlon by heeding -the church Influ
ence in their organizations. He added
that the majority of trade unionists
were church members.
Rev. Charles S. Stelzle. superintendent
of the department of the church and
labor, of the Presbyterian Church, said
the first movement for world reform was
toward religious democracy, the- next
toward political democracy and the pres
ent movement toward Industrial democ
racy. "Some day," he said, "war will cease,
but it will not be because of peace con
ferences, but when organized workmen
declare they will no longer shoot down
their fellowworkers in order to satisfy
the avarice of their rulers.
MINING MAN LOSES LOCKET
Diamond Is Stolen From Frank
Hard, of Eugene.:
The police are Investigating a d'amond
robbery reported to them Sunday by
Frank Hard, a mining man, from Eugene,
who said he had lost a diamond locket
valued at $125 between a local bath
house and the Imperial Hotel, where Mr.
Hard is quartered. Mr. Hard said he had
gone to a Turkish bath late Saturday
night.
After having received a rub at this es
tablishment he dressed and proceeded to
the hotel, where he retired. It is be
lieved that his locket was stolen between
the bath-house and the hotel, or that
he dropped It from his watch chain. . It
was about 2 A. M. when Mr. Hard
reached the hotel, and after sleeping until
yesterday he awoke to discover his loss.
As his door was looked from the in
side no one could have gained access to
his room. The hotel employes saw no
suspicious persons about the place and
the hotel proprietor believes that the
missing diamond was lost or stolen either
at the bath-house or while Mr. Hard was
en route to the hotel.

leon, but No Treasure.
NEW YORK, Dec. 7. The Harvard
treasure-seekers, as they have come to
be known, returned empty-handed last
night from Jamaica on the steamer Ad
miral Dewey. After the first chartered
vessel,, the old-timo. racer Mayflower, was
abandoned, the men set out again on
their mission, which was to recover the
gold sunken in a Spanish galleon off
the coast of Jamaica.

Harvard ('03; 11. L. Corbett C03). Buck
Harrison (04 and Roger Darby ('05).
They said they had located several

Previously Francis E. Hinckley, Chicago

Anti-Semitic Paper of Paris Con
tlnnes to Cry That Faure Was
Victim of Political
Assassination.
PARIS. Dec. 7. That Mine. Steinhell,
who Is accused of the murder of her
husband, Adolph Steinhell, Is on the
verge of physical and mental collapse
as the result of the strain which the
case has put upon her, is the statement
of her friends. Already, they declare.
Mme. Steinhell Is seriously 111, and It Is
even predicted by some that she cannot
recover.
The Libre Parole, an anti-Semitic Jour
nal, is still ' keeping up the cry that
President Felix Faure, who died In this
city in 1S3, was the victim of a poli
tical murder because he intended to re
fuse the request for a retrial of the Drey
fus case. It claims now that Adolphe
Steinhell, who was found dead In his
residence In Paris last May, was mur
dered with the connivance of his wife
and the political police. The object of
the crime was to obtain possession of
certain letters written by M. Faure,
which; the paper alleges, compromise
men now active in public life.
Continuing, the Libre Parole says that
Steinhell was fully conversant with his
wife's manner of life, and that he had
possession of papers for which he de
manded fJOO,000. This sum was by those
implicated considered exorbitant, and
consequently an arrangement was per
fected with Mme. Steinhell to burgalarlze
the house, she to take advantage of the
occasion to rid herself of her husband.
The paper gives the name of the detec
tlve who, it alleges, directed, the opera
tion, and it declares that the name of the
actual assassin has been disclosed by
Mariette Wolff, who was a. cook In the
service of Mme. Steinhell. No documents
however, were found, as Steinhell had
confided them to the keeping of a friend.
The whole house was ransacked only to
find that the papers had been removed to
Switzerland.
GARCIAS HAVE HUGE
AUTHORITIES TIIINK BECAUSE
OF THIS THEY WERE KILLED.
Posses Believe Family Knew of
Martine Murder and Was Slain
to Let Slayers Escape.
TRINIDAD, Colo.. Dec. 7. Another
theory of the murder of the four mem
bers of the Garcia family, who were
killed with an ax. In their home on a
ranch near Troy, 90 miles from here, and
in connection with which crimes posses
are searching for Francisco Martinez,
alias Jesus Barela, was given by the
authorities here yesterday.
It was stated that Martinez was sus
pected of murdering Rovaldo Marline, a
Wealthy sheep-raiser, whose dead body
was found lying beside the road ieading
to his ranch last August. Efforts to
fasten the crime upon Martinez was un
successful, however. The theory is that
the Garcias might have become pos
sessed of evidence pointing to Martinez
as guilty of the Martine murder and they
were slain because of this supposed
knowledge.
The disappearance of the 17-year-old
daughter Is still a mystery. Many be
lieve that she was abducted by Martinez
because of his Infatuation for her, and
Is being held a prisoner. Another view
is that the girl escaped from the house
during the murderous assault and fled.
A blizzard has been raging today in the.
territory adjacent to the scene of the
crime and but little hope Is entertained
that the girl can survive If she is wander-
ng alone or hiding somewhere on the
prairie.
No word came from the posses yester
day and none Is expected soon, as the
country over which they are searching is
thinly settled and there Is no quick
means of communication. The posse Is
headed by Under Sheriff Kreger, a noted
man-hunter, who will serve subpenas for
witnesses to attend the Coroner's hear
ing to be held at Trinchera on Wednes
day.
BARELY ESCAPES DEATH
WOMAN OP TENDERLOIN SHOT
AT BY VICTIM.
Vampire Takes Earnings of Japan
ese for Months, Then Casts
Him Aside.
By the merest chance, murder was
verted Sunday night In a shooting affray
in a house at 86 North Seventh street,
conducted by George Harding, a negro, in
which Joe Zakoji, a Japanese, 35 years of
age, shot at and tried to kill, Anita
Hastings, 23 years old. The girl is of
Spanish descent, and the revengeful
apanese assertea sne bad bled him for
II his money and then cast him aside.
Zakoji placed the weapon against the
woman's head when her back was turned
nd to the fact that she moved her
head the short distance of an Inch or
wo just at the time her discarded lover
pulled the trigger, she no doubt owes
her life. As It was the explosion of the
,-eapon in close proximity to her face
caused frightful powder burns about the
face and in one of her eyes.
The attempt of Zakoji to kill the wo
man was witnessed by Harding. He
rushed to the woman's assistance, and
felling the little brown man with a ter
rific blow on the side of his head, grap
pled with him for the possession of the
loaded revolver which the Japanese was
finally forced to relinquish. Harding then
held him until the police arrived on the
scene and took the would-be murderer
Into custody.
The shooting was deliberately planned
by the Japanese as he admitted to the
police. He came to call on the woman
and after having been In the house a
few minutes rose to go and shook hands
with the woman as he said good-bye to
her. Then as she turned to walk back
into the center of the room, he drew
his weapon and fired without warning.
The woman said that she felt a breath
of air fan her cheek and turned her
head to see what It was. It was then
he shot.
Both the house where the affair hap
pened and the woman, are of question
able reputation, the police say. They
arrested the woman under the charge of
vagrancy in order to be sure of her
presence as a witness in the case.
On the way to the police station, the
Japanese told his story of bad treat
ment from the woman In the case. He
Is a cook by occupation and showed
where he had been working in Tacoma
and Seattle. In his possession were re
ceipts of large sums of money sent the
woman by telegraph and messages from
her to him asking for money. He said
he had sent her all the money he had
earned for more than a year past. When,
however, she found that he bad no
more money to give her, she would have
nothing further to do with him.
