HARD FIGHT TO BE MADE Man Has Many Supporters and Girls Alleged to Be Held Captive by Him In Alps Send Endearing and Comforting Messages. TACOMA. "Wash.. March 10. (Special.) If Joshua Klein is convicted of assault with intent to murder Miss Dora Culber son, it- will be after a vigorously con tested legal battle. This was made evident- today in Judge Easterday's court. Debonnaire and with his usual nonchalant attltn4- Klein watclwd the proceedings. Carefully groomed and apparently devoid of SPrvwwiiess -lio reclined comfortably In tiis chair and only once did he glance ovef the room, which was filled with men. women and children. The crowd was so great that the doors had to he locked. A large number of persons friendly to Klein came over from Seattle, anions them being F. "W. Peabody and several women of wealth and prominence. Miss Dora Culberson was the first witness and was under cross-examination when court adjourned. The defense professes to have evidence of a sensational nature which it is said will only be introduced as- a 'last resort Bnd the whole startling story of how Miss Dora Sauvageot and "Miss Roto Karasek rnme to fall under the alleged influence of Klein will be told. . Taconm Girls Ied Away. Joshua -JKIein, -'Messiah, " according to his owi, statements, alleged abductor of Aybrricn." and leader of a mysterious sect numbering mostly Impressionable women .from nil parts of the world, with head quarters in l:e mountains in the vicinity of Amden. Switzerland, is1 on trial in the Superior Court here today on the charge of assault with intent to commit murder upon Miss Dora Culberson, aunt of one of the Tacoma young women said to have fallen under the influence of the man. Since the arrest of Klein upon the complaint of Miss Culberson, who is a niece of Senator Charles A. Culberson, and her sister, Mrs. Nellie C. Sauvageot, of Tacoma, the remarkable story of Klein's relations with two Tacoma girls has come to light. Miss Dora Sauvageot and Miss Rose Karasek, talented music students, went from here to Vienna to study under Leschetiszky. There they made the acquaintance of Klein, who, exercising his aiieged hypnotic Influence, it Is said, persuaded them to accom pany him to Switzerland and to take up their abode in his "cottage" at that place, which has been described as a beautiful chalet tucked away in the mountains. WilL Xot JLeave Klein. Frequent efforts have been made to win the young women away from the apparently sinister influence of the man, without effect. Mrs. Sauvageot, even Journeyed to Switzerland and, re gaining her daughter, only to lose her in New York, where they had been fol lowed by Klein. Miss Sauvageot went hack to Austria, but Klein followed to Tacoma. for the purpose. It Is charged, of securing more victims. Here, ac cording to Mrs. Sauvageot and her sis ter, he persisted In visiting them and threatening them until, on the morning of January 2D, when he became particu larly violent a patrolman was sum moned and the man placed In the County Jail, where he has since re mained. Frank Karasek. brother of Rose, le turned a few days ago from Europe, after persuading his sister of the error of her course and bringing her back to New -.York to complete her studies. Miss Sauvageot remains In Europe and has continued to write comforting let ters to Klein, in jail at Tacoma, ad dressing him In the most fervent terms of endearment and abjuring him to keep, up good heart In the midst of his "persecution." Klein has letters also from Miss Karasek and from others of his woman followers, all breathing their faith in the man as divine and frequent ly using more personal terms of ad miration and longing for the presence of the alleged "messiah." "- Klein Poses as "Divine." ; Klein himself -wishes to pose before flrerpubllc as a man" of the purest motives-and, an Instructor in the "science of right living." His proof of his "divinity," as far as made public here, consists mainly of far-fetched plays upon German,. English and Latin words and citation of scriptural passages dis torted according to the "true light." Various observers have characterized him as a man of sensuous disposition, of a-scheming and crafty nature, and not. .above the average in intelligence, but aggressive and dominant by nature the type of man to whom sensitive women frequently fall victims. Klein has a wife and two sons in St. Louis, who state, that they at times live in poverty on their own resources, and that at other times the husband and. father sends them a sum upon which they live on the fat of the land for.a time.

Ful ton's appointment as Federal Judge is denied by those who have Senator Ful ton's Interests in charge. In their view of the situation, no petitions are neces sary. George G.

STEALING BECAME MANIA Ex-FVreman Makes Clean Breast of Pilfering, Implicating Iligher Vps and Reveals Manner of Disposing of Goods. PEXDLETOX, Or., March 10. (Special.) That many men employed In the local freight warehouse of the O. R. & X. were guilty of stealing what shoes, shirts, clothes and other articles of wearing ap- parel they needed was the startling state ment made on the witness-stand this afternoon by Charles Dickens, former warehouse foreman. He was testifying in the preliminary hearing of Frank J. Ely. transcontinental freight Inspector, and William Edwards, truckman in the warehouse. Other than these two men, he named transcontinen tal Freight Inspector Bartlett. who left here more than a year ago, and whose present whereabouts Is unknown. Making a clean breast of the matter with no effort to shield himself, Dickens unfolded a story of wholesale thievery covering a period of two years. His state ments are hacked up by the records of complaints turned In and by two dray loads of plunder which have been re covered. The complete value of the goods stolen will probably never be known, but It will mount into the thousands. All Sorts of Tilings Taken. Almost every conceivable article of freight was stolen at some time or other the list ranging from dainty doilies to sideboard and bedding. Nothing was too samll or too large, and express wagons were employed in some Instances to cart the things away. Othere things, like shirts and sofa pillow tops, were placed inside vests and carried homo In that manner. A horse and buggy, the property of Dickens, was used to haul away most of the stuff. From the story of Dickens, the desire to steal must have become a mania with him and his accomplices, for they stole so much stuff they did not know what to do with it. He says they shipped a large part of the plunder to Tacoma, but neglected to say on the witness-stand what was done with It after it reached that city. Twelve suits of clothes were among the things included in one ship ment. While shoes and other wearing ap parel seemed to Jie the most popular with the alleged thieves, bottled beer and whisky were also taken. Liquor Shipped Away. Dickens' testimony with regard to the liquor was not clear, but they apparently peddled a great deal of It out here, while m other instances It was shipped else where. Though declaring that other employes of the company in the freight warehouse had been guilty of stealing things and that they had taken at least 30 suits of clothes In addition to the ones he and the two defendants had taken he refused to name any of these men and was not pressed to do so. Edwards and Ely were both specifically connected with numerous offenses. Late this afternoon the hearing was continued until Friday morning, so that a witness could be summoned from Con don. TOD fiCH MOTHER-IN-LAW CHICAGO RArLRO.VD DETECTIVE SUES FOR $10,000. Accuses Wife's Parent of Breaking Up His Home and Searches Two Countries for Child. SPOKANE. Wash.. March 10. (Spe cial.) Charged with alienating the af fections of her daughter from her son-in-law. Mrs. William Immel was made defendant today in a $10,000 damage ac tion brought by A. C. Jones, a railroad detective of Chicago. Jones alleges that he and his wife lived happily in Chica-, go until her parents came to live with them. According to his complaint, they caused dissension and persuaded his wife to leave him. Jones returned to his home In Chicago one night last Fall and found his wife gone and most of the furniture re moved. He could find no trace of her for some time after her disappearance. Finally he got word that she was lti Mexico, and there he went in search, traveling through that country, Cali fornia. Oregon, finally to Seattle and then to Spokane, .where she was locat ed with her child residing with her parents. Jones encountered his mother-in-law on the street January 2 with the child and snatched it from her after an ex citing scene. He attempted to get Into Idaho with th oUM, bat h ppre- Dizziness A Danger Signal Forerunnere of More Serious Condi tions of the Alimentary Tract. Invariably flatulence and dizziness indicate the beginning of serious troubles, stomach and intestine troubles usually follow, which sooner or later develop symptoms of an. alarming na ture. Catarrh of the stomach, gastrl tles, constipation, piles, liver troubles and a . general break-down of the health usually follow these symptoms when left to run their full course. When the stomach is not performing its proper duty the rest of the system is sure to suffer. As It is a well-known fact that the stomach feeds the rest of the body and organs, therefore many other diseases may arise, either directly or indirectly, from disorder of the stomach. Whenever there is the slightest In dications of flatulence or dizziness no ticed it should be cared for at once, that It may not develop more danger ous symptoms. Charcoal is an excel lent remedy for the stomach, relieving flatulence by absorbing the poisonous gases that accumulate In the stomach, and aiding digestion and assimilation; it has a specific action upon this organ, and a very rapid and positive action on the system In general. Charcoal has been used for several thousand years, both as a stomach reg ulator and an antidote for poisons taken In the stomach. The success of charcoal Is unquestionable. The only remaining question Is to get charcoal in the most convenient and palatable form. The F. A. Stuart Co. manufac ture a charcoal lozenge composed of young willow wood charcoal and pure honey, making this valuable product convenient, palatable and perfectly harmless. A sample will be sent upon request, or Stuart's Charcoal Tablets can be had at any drug store. Price 25c per box. The F.

Soon'after this Jones was taken sick, and since then has been in the hospital. He asserts that his wife's parents spirited her and the child away again last week. DIVISIONAL POINTS CHOSEN MILWAUKEE ROAD AXXOCXCES ITS TERMIXAL-S. Othello, Cle-Elum and Maiden Are to Be Centers of Traffic, AYi'th Work Already Begun. SEATTLE. Wash., March 10. (Spe cial.) Othello. Cle-Elum and Maiden will be the three divisional ' points In Washington on the Milwaukee road. The official announcement was made yesterday. The first division out of Seattle. Cle-Elum. Is already an im portant town, owing to the junction of the branch line of the Northern Pacific with the Roslyn coal mines. Othello is at present a small town north of Pasco, in a district that was classed similar to the Yakima district at one time, semi-arid. Maiden Is at the foot of the hills on the west side of the Rocky Mountains, the center of a well-timbered and rich farming district. At each of these three towns the Milwaukee road Is doing much work In preparing for the care of trains and motive equipment. Maiden will have the largest roundhouse, ultimately car ing for 60 engines, although the pres ent building will provide for but 10. At Othello a 10-stall roundhouse" for the present, with a capactiy for 40 later on. Is being erected, and a similar build ing is being put up at Cle-Elum. Mai den and Cle-Elum will have immense Ice-houses, which will supply all the needs of refrigerator and passenger coaches for the Milwaukee line for all time to come. That it is looking out for the future Is evident at all three places, for pro vision is being made for many miles of sidings. No less than five miles of sidetracks will be put in at each place Immediately, and there is room enough at each point to increase this to 20 miles when th traffic demands It. RIPARIAN RIGHTS ON TRIAL QUESTION" MUST BE SETTLED O.VCE AVI FOH ALL. 6-uIt Is Brought hy Charles Altschul Against Ioschues Irrigation & Power Company. SALSM, Or.. March 10. Speclal.) The suits in the Federal Court raising the question' of riparian rights on the Des chutes River are regarded by Attorney General Crawford as the most important water right suits that have ever been brought In this state. They directly raise the question of the extent of riparian rights as known to the common law prior to the desert land act of 1!77. and it ap pears that In deciding these suits the court must declare once and for all the real extent and limit of riparian rights. The Oregon Supreme Court has already decided that since the act of 1877 the acquisition of riparian lands carried with it no right to the use of water other than for domestic purposes. The courts have never decided the extent of riparian rights acquired prior to that time. The suits that have been brought deny the right of the Deschutes Irrigation & Power Company to take any water whataver out of Deschutes River. One of these suits was brought by Charles Alt schul. who o-wns riparian land and claims the right to have the water flowing in Its channel, though he does not allege that he has ever used It. He says in his com plaint that he "purchased said land with a vlw to the utilization of said falls in the generation of power whenever the settlement of the country should render the use of power practicable and prottt able." It Is thus shown that the use Is entirely prospective, so that the case presents squarely the Issue whether a riparian owner who has not used the water has a right to have the water flow in Its channel until he wants to use It. If this suit should be won by the- plain tiff, Altschul. the Deschutes Irrigation & Power Company would bo defeated In its efforts a reclamation. While Attorney-General Crawford feels confident of winning the case for water approprl ators who are putting the water to bene ficial uro as against riparian owners who are not using it, he realizes that the question is one yet to be determined by the courts, and that if it should be de cided In favor of the contentions of tho ripariin owners the effect would be very serious to reclamation enterprises.

THE PNEUMONIA SEASON MORE DEATHS FROM PNEU MONIA THAN FROM TU BERCULOSIS. Pneumonia an Infections Disease It Can Be Prevented A Remarkable Record. F"rom the Pes Moines Register and LeadeT.J "Why has this season of tho year becoma known as the pneumonia season? AVhy dur ing ths closing week of the old rear were, thers more deaths in Chicago and Kew York from pneumonia than tuberculosis? Why are pneumonia and related bronchial trou bles beginning to take the place of tube rr ty losis as the dread scourge of city life? Simply and solely because we are devoting too much ingenuity and energy to dodging the fresh and invigorating winter air that every twelve months refrigerates our latitude. It is believed now that pneumonia is an infectious disease, and that in the cities where the death rate is growing so rapidly it is communicated in the heated and crowded can.

The old time red thai burned the cheek of childhood does not visil mature face on an average of once in tin twelve months, not even the red of a chiliy and pinched nose.
