IfJ
M. B. Jacobs Sues Pinkertons
After Trouble With
Bondsman.
FORFEITER AFTER CLIENT
Two Detectives Charged With Re
fusing to Allow Son of Oregon
City Business Man to See
Ills Counsel.
" PHILADELPHIA, Sept 8. (Special.)
Serious charges against operatives of the
: Ptnkerton Detective Agency are mads by
R, Brooks Jacobs, a former Fhlladelphian,
1 now a resident of Portland. Or, who was
: arrested two weeks ago In Los Angeles
' and brought to this city.
Jaoobs claims that he was placed under
' arrest on a worthless old ball piece and
when taken Into custody was denied the
privilege of communicating with his
l counsel or notifying his friends. He says
' that he was practically kidnaped, p"laced
on a train and rushed across the conti
nent. Upon his arrival here a warrant
charging conspiracy to defraud was
served on him by the private detectives
and Imprisonment stared him In the faoe
when Attorney Murdock Kendrlck came
to his assistance.
This story was developed before Judge
Staples In the Court of Quarter Ses
sions yesterday, when Mr. Kendrlck en
deavored to secure the release of his
client on a writ of habeas corpus. Mr.
Kendrlck unfolded a unique state of af
fairs In which Jacobs appears to be In
volved. In the latter part of 1904, Jacobs was
arrested on a charge of embessllng 110,
000 from the Co-operative Supply Com
pany of this city. He wss committed for
trial and his bail was fixed at 83500.
; which was furnished by a professional
' bondsman named Simon Arbasokls. For
this service Jacobs paid Simon $350.
Forfeits BalL
Bhortly after being released. Jacobs
left the city and took P his residence In
Portland. When his case was called for
trial he failed to appear and the Dis
trict Attorney's office brought proceed
ings to forfeit the bail. Judgment against
Simon was secured and attachment was
issued for his house and a bench war
rant was Issued for Jacobs, bat It was
never served. The bondsman, however,
secured a ball piece and placed It m the
hands of the Pinkertons. In the mean
time Jacobs was preparing to settle with
i the private prosecutor. Through Mi
Kendrlck he negotiated with the Co-oper-i
atlve Supply Company and they agreed
1 to settle. About six months ago Jaoobs
! turned orver 12000. whereupon the prose
cutor withdrew the charge and the in
dictment waa submitted before. Judge
Staples for a verdict of not guilty.
Bondsman Angry- '
These proceedings evidently did not
please the bondsman. Having learned
that Jacobs was doing business in Los
Angeles, he advised the Pinkertons. and
i two detectives with the old piece which
; Attorney Kendrlck claims was worthless
apprehended Jacobs and. It is charged,
bluffed him Into submitting to arrest.
Jacoha said he pleaded with the offl
' cers to give him a chance to consult
his friends or a lawyer, but they re
i fused to let him do so, and hustled him
i out of the city on the first East-bound
: train. The bondsman had also secured a
warrant charging Jacobs with conspir
acy to defraud him of the amount of
ball given and upon this warrant Jacobs
was hauled Into court.
According to Mr. Kendrlck. when his
client settled with the prlvste prosecutors
the latter adjusted the forfeited ball mat
ter with someone and all proceedings
against Jacobs were to have been
dropped.
Mr. Kendrlck also argued that the ar
rest of Jacobs- was Illegal and therefore
he should be given his freedom. Judge
Staples reserved decision. Jacobs, It Is
said, will enter suit for damages against
the Plnkerton Agency.

GRAYS HARBOR STRIKE NOT
YET COMPLETE.
Expected AU Shingle Manufacturing
Will Cease Saturday Night AU
Chehalls County Involved1.
ABERDEEN, Wash., Sept. 8. (Spe
cial.) Unless that which is entirely un
foreseen at the present occurs and the
plans, as tacitly understood by owners
tonight, miscarry, there will not be a
shingle mill in operation In Chehalls
County when next Monday morning ar
rives. No public announcement or official
statement of this fact has been made,
the manufacturers forming a ring and
each pointing to "the other fellow" when
pinned by a straight question, but the
undented Inferenoe today was that the
only reason any mills were running In the
county was because two mills on the
Harbor were still In operation for the
purpose, so the owners state, of laying
in a stock. These two mills, which are
In Hoqulam. will close. It is stated, next
Saturday resulting In a complete shut
down on Grays Harbor and putting it
up for final action to the owners through
out the remainder of the county. That
they will stand by their agreement made
some nights ago at Elma to co-operate
with local manufacturers is considered a
certainty here, although there are those
among the shingle weavers who scoff at
the report and declare that their strike
for a raise In wages will yet be success
ful NO ACTION TAKEN AT ELMA
All Mills Are Operating: and Shin
gles Are Inspected.
ELMA, "Wash., Sept " s. (Special.)
Every shingle . mill in. the vicinity of
Elma Is running this morning, and so
far no action has been taken either by
mill owners or employes to precipitate a
strike. Elma has one of the strongest
local shingle weavers' unions in the
state and its members will be guided by
the action taken by its executive com
mittee. The shingle mill owners here
have joined the Chehalls Shingle Grading
Association and their shingles are in
spected and bear - the purple brand.
Should a strike be Inaugurated everyone
realizes It will be a leng-drawn-out and
a costly one, and for that reason all hope
for a settlement. .
PUTNAM LIBEL CASE ENDS
Case Against Medford Editor Is
Dismissed by Prosecutor.
MEDFORD. Or.. Sept. 8. (Special.)
Upon motion of District Attorney B. F.
Mulkey. Judge H. K. Hanna Wednesday
dismissed the case of the State vs. George
Putnam, editor of the Medford Tribune,
who was charged with criminal libel. The
Supreme Court ordered a new trial on
appeal, but owing to the lapse of time
between the return of the Indictment and
the probability of securing a conviction,
the District Attorney offered a motion
to dismiss. Putnam's case aroused much
interest throughout .the state two years
ago on account of his sensational arrest
on ths Indictment for libel returned by
a Jackson County Jury Christmas eve
a year ago. He was pulled from his berth
in a Pullman at Roseburg while on his
way to Portland to spend the holidays,
dented the privilege of communicating
with his friends either by telephone or
telegraph, refused all courtesies and
thrown Into a cell in the Douglas County
Jail and confined until the afternoon of
the next day. He was released upon
his friends hearing of his condition.
Putnam waa tried and convicted of
libel a week later and fined 8160. From
the Judgment and sentence he appealed,
claiming that the court erred at the trial
In receiving and refusing certain Instructions.
