Prisoner, Who Is Wanted in Spokane for Theft of Carload of Beer, rbr Fonr Days Outwits Deputy Sheriffs in Ixxs Angeles. LOS ANGELES, Cal., March 4. (Spe cial.) On of the most sensational ex tradition fights in Los Angeles legal an nals culminated today when peaoes offi cers from Washington dodged Federal procesa servers with their prisoner, A. J. Goldberg, a wealthy Montana brewer, and ' placed him aboard a tramp schooner at 'Son Pedro en route for Vancouver whence he win be taken to- Spokane to face a charge of stealing a carload of beer. The successful removal of Goldberg to day from the jurisdiction of the Cali fornia courts was the second within three days. Last Monday night the prisoner's attorneys blocked an attempt to take him north on the Owl train by serving a Su perior Court writ of habeas corpus which has been fought out in the courts here since and finally dismissed. The kid naping today followed upon the heels of this dismissal. Oflcers Charter Launch. HIb final extradition from, this1 state wb the second attempt to kidnap him from the City Jail. It was brought about hy a hasty exit from the side entrance into an automobile, and a thrilling drive to Long Beach. In that town a streetcar was brought into service and at the har tor of Long Beach a launch was char tered which carried the prisoner to San tedro where he was placed aboard a tramp schooner ready to sail. The schooner does not couch at a port before It reaches Vancouver. Goldberg's attorney, C. Randall Sparks mnd T. F. Ogier, Special Deputy Sheriff, are held to answer for contempt of court for taking him away from Special Officer C B. Long, at Burbak without properly fulfilling the law. Cries for Help Are In Vain. United States Deputy Marshal Bert ' Franklin pursued Officer Long and Goldborgr today. After a three hous' search word was received from Long I Beach that Goldberg had passed through that city. He was on a street car and was crying for help. He shouted that he was being extradited -e.ga.lnst his will and to notify officers of the United States District Court. He was successful in this plea, as the mes sage reached the proper authorities but too late. CARUSO FEARS BLACK HAND Rioted Tenor Keceives Demand for $15,000 on Pain of Death. NEW YORK, March 4. Enrico Caruso, the' tenor, has received two "Black Hand" letters, demanding $15,000 or hia life. There is some disposition among his friends to regard the letters as a Joke, but Caruso is convinced that hls days' are numbered, and he will not ven ture out of his room without a body guard. The first letter Instructed Caruso to put the money in hlg pocket, stroll along Broadway and give it to the first man who asked him for a letter. Carusoook the walk, with two detectives behind him. Evidently the writer followed hie move ments, for today came e Becond letter, laying: "When you went out yesterday jou had two policemen with you. Do not try to fool us again. We mean busi ness." Instructions followed to leave the money in a bag at a certain spot in Brooklyn and concluded, with threats to "get" Caruso on the street or on the stage. EX-MAYOR'S BROTHER OUT Kev. E. J.

Harper, brother of the recalled Mayor, and for three years City Forester, was today "recalled" by Mayor Alexander. .

The blockade on the Salt Lake division of the Southern Pacific, It is expected, will not be repaired inside of five days. O. R. & X. Situation Improves.

Rumors of Amount Given Wife Vary From $50,000 Annual Alimony to Settlement $10,000,000 Out rightShe May Remarry. NEW YORK, March 4. Beneath the signature that made final today the in terlocutory decree of divorce previously granted Mrs. Ava Willing Astor from Colonel John Jactob Astor. Justtce MiHs at White Plains wrote this afternoon: "The- Clerk of Duchess County is hereby ordered not to seal the above final Judgment." Popular Belief Verified. The decre, however, as filed tonight at Poughkeepsie, the county seat, makes little known that had not been forejudged in popular estimate. There appears the bald statement that the marriage Is dissolved by reason of the statutory offense on the part of the defendant, but no money settle ment is mentioned, the name of the co-respondent is not given and none of the testimony taken by the referee is available nothing1 b- ' the decree Itself. The plaintiff may remarry, but not the defendant. Custody of William Vin cent Astor. the son. is given to the father, with the provision that the mother may see him when she wl&'hes, and custody of the daughter, Ava Alice Muriel, is awarded the mother, with provision that the father may see her at all reasonable times. The understanding is that a settle ment of all money matters was arrived at before the decree was signed, and it is probable that the exact amount' allowed Mrs. Astor will never be known. Lump Sum, Not Probable. It has not been the policy of the Astor estate to allow money to go out of the family. Therefore, it seems, likely that no- lump sum has been set tied on her, but it is probable she will enjoy a stipulated income during life, or as lonar as she remains single. Colonel Astor is one of the .richest men in the United States and the Astor estate is one of the largest holders of realty In the world. It has been reported on one hand that Mrs. Astor will receive J10.000.000 outright, and on the other that she will get the comparatively modest allowance of $50,000 a year. The unusual interval between the granting of the interlocutory decree and the filing of application for a final Judgment led to the report that there was haggling over the exact sum to be awarded, and there Is ground for be lief that the $50,000 a year is nearer the truth than J10.000.000. POPE EVADES CAPTURE SITUATION AMONG INDIANS AT TAHOLA SERIOUS. Continued Absence of Federal Of ficers In Mountains Leads to Fear of Bloodshed. HOQUIAM. Wash, March 4. (Spe cial.) With scores of Indians armed and prepared for an inter-raclal feud as well as a three-sided conflict with Federal' and4 state officers, no definite word has come out from Tahola, the little Indian hamlet where Fred Pope shot and killed Adam Hawk and Hoh William, Monday. United States Dep uty Marshal J. F. Statter has secured the aid of two other deputies, and is still at the scene of the crimes, despite the fact that Statter expected to re turn to Hoqulam Wednesday night. Staffer's absence lends strength to the opinion that the conditions among the Indians are more serious than first thought. Rumors are rife that Pope will never be taken alive and that be means to sell his life b.b dearly as pos sible. The Indian is hiding in the woods and food and clothing are being supplied by friends and relatives. Never before have the Indians been so worked up over any affair. The night the crimes were committed men went about armed, ready to kill per sonal enemies on scores of long stand ing, and to kill any officer who would be foolhardy enough to attempt to ar rest Pope. Even the women are said to have been filled with the thirst for blood, and of Mrs. Hawk, wife of one of the slain men. It Is said that she carried a revolver while searching for Pope, with the purpose of killing the murderer to avenge her husband's death. Mrs. Hawk is a direct descendant of Chief Chenamus, of the Chehalis tribe of Indians. Chief Chenamus was the white man's friend in the early days. He was killed by an Englishman at Westport. His slayer was captured by the Indians and killed In a horrible manner, the natives choking him to death by pouring burning sand down his throat. UNION MEN LEAVE- WORK (Concluded From First Page.) reported, have decided to strike. This will cripple nine woolen mills. It Is reported that 10.000 tailors and cloakmakers, 6000 bricklayers unafilllated with the Central Labor Union. 40,000 members of the Building Trades Coun cil (75 per cent of that class), 300 mem bers of the International Gold Beaters' Union and 400 of 500 cabinet-makers are among those who will obey the order for a general strike. Walters Union Joins. Word was also received at headquarters that 800 waiters would cease work. The waiters' union Is strong here, its members being employed In all the leading hotels and restaurants. These employes are doing all in their power' to secure com petent substitutes. If the reports received at strike head quarters are correct, the city authorities have greatly underestimated the propor tions of the strike. It was stated by Director of Public Safety Clay late this afternoon that he had ascertained by a careful canvass that not more than 30, 000 union workers would respond to the general order, but this estimate falls 60 room.

Counsel for the carmen, speaking for Organizer Pratt and the Amalgamated Association, declared that the offer of the company was not acceptable. CHICAGO. March . (Special.)
