Hjiis!
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.

LOS ANGELES, Cal., March 4. (Spe
cial.) Rev. E. J. Harper, brother of the
recalled Mayor, and for three years City
Forester, was today "recalled" by Mayor
Alexander. . His resignation was handed
In without warning and so quickly ac
cepted that no doubt remains that it had
been demanded. v
"It is not necessary for me to state why
I am resigning." was the closing sen
tence. The Mayor declined to state the rea
son and even intimated that ht would
not do bo if called into court, though
there was no hint of such a contingency.
Rev. Mr. Harper refused to talk on the
subject, but Mrs. Harper said he had
long contemplated the action.

69 TRAINS ARE HANDLED
(Concluded From First Page.)
toured., trains that arrived yesterday
from the south did not include delayed
trains which will arrive today. No.
16, which is due in Portland at 7:30
this morning, according to dispatches
is in three sections, two of which are
detoured trains. No. 14, due at 11
A. M-, is in five sections, four of which
are detoured trains.
So far as the westbound trains are con
cerned, the congestion on the O. R. & N.
is somewhat relieved by the arrival of
the laid out trains yesterday. After to
day the burden will not be so heavy on
the Shasta Route or east bound on the
O. R. & N. 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.
The Southern Pacific time card calls
for four through trains each way daily
over the Salt Lake division, but It is
understood that these trains will be con
solidated during the tie-up and after the
congestion Is relieved, only two trains
each way will be detoured via Portland.
It is announced from O. R. & N. head
quarters the road now expects the main
line on the Washington division will be
opened by Sunday. The line between
Spokane and Colfax, it was thought,
would be clear last night and the line to
Winona by today. The Wallace and
Burke branches have not been disturbed
by the floods.
Trains on the Northern Pacific and
Oregon & Washington arrived from
Puget Sound practically on schedule yes
terday. The North Bank Is having no
trouble and the Northern Pacific Is open
through the Cascades, according to re
ports here, and uses the North Bank
only between Spokane and Pasco. Of
ficial announcement was received at the
Great Northern offices that the line east
of Spokane is absolutely clear and that
that road is getting into Seattle over the
Northern Pacific from Pasco. The Can
adian Pacific is having no trouble In
getting the Soo-pokane-Portland serv
ice through on time.
Holiday Mail Rush Exceeded.
The arrival of the fast mall over the
Oregon Short Line revived memories of
Christmas days in the Portland Post
office. An accumulation cf letters and
first-class material was gathered along
the route in the flood district for de
livery at Portland, more than 600 pouches
being piled in the assorting room.
All the available employes were de
tailed to assist in sorting the mail. It
will be out of the office not later than
noon today.
At the central station the transfer room

was bulging with pouches and sacks des
tined for the Bast. Much of It came from
California and Washington and would
ordinarily have been routed to the East
by way of San Francisco and Spokane.
For three days Portland has been the
only general division ,. point which has
kept mail in transit .to and from the East,
and the railway mail clerks report that
much larger quantities of matter have
been handled than during the holiday
rush.
SOUTHERN PACIFIC MENDS LINE

Through Portland Still Needed.
OGDEN, Utah. March 4. At least 340
miles of the Southern Pacific Railroad

Nev., tonight.
Seventy-eight passengers who have
been held at Wells, Nev., since the
first day of the flood have started east
ward over the repaired track and are
expected here early tomorrow morning.
The local train to Carlin tomorrow
will carry a large number of carpen
ters and concrete workers, and local
officials promise tonight that through
traffic over the direct line will be re
stored within five days. A report that
a shortage of passenger coaches would
cause delay was officially denied to
night. The Oregon Short Line, officials say,
will have no trouble in operating de
toured trains. The first trainload of
through passengers from San Fran
cisco will reach Ogden about noon to
morrow, traveling via Portland, Or.
Union Pacific trains continue to ar
rive on time, and many California
homeseekers. together with' through

line.
NEVADA BREAKS SOON MENDED
Annual Weighing of Mails by Gov

SAN FRANCISCO, March 4. That
trains will be running over the Nevada
breaks within three or four days was the
substance of a written report submitted
by 'Assistant General Manager W. R.
Scott, of the Southern Pacific, late this
afternoon to A. H. Stephens, superin
tendent of the Railway Mall Service for
the eighth division.
The mails are being rushed through as

superior officers at Vancouver Barracks
and dared not return after having be
come an involuntary deserter, J. L.
Horseman, 23 years old. is now In the
City Jail on a charge of desertion
from the United States Army.
, Horseman was arrested and held as
a witness in Portland on February 20
in a case against Alice Jessie. He was
detained until after his leave of ab
sence had expired. Judge .Bennett,
however, gave him a letter to the of
ficers at Vancouver, which would, have
cleared him. This, Horseman says, he
lost, and he dared not go back to his
Army post. . Learning that the young
man had not returned. Detectives
Hellyer and Maloney arrested him last
night.
ROUNDS TALKS FOR OREGON
Eugene Man Wins Competition for
Trl-State Debate Place.
UNIVERSITY" OF OREGON, Eugene,
March 4. (Special.) Harold J. Rounds, of
Portland, tonight won the right to rep
resent Oregon in the Interstate oratorical
contest between representatives of the
State Universities of Oregon, Washington
and Montana to be held here next May.
Rounds won over four competitors in a
tryout in Vlllard hall,the subject of his
oration being "The Spirit of Patriotism."
Rounds, who is a senior, is also Ore
gon's orator for the Intercollegiate con
test at Salem next Friday between rep
resentatives from seven Oregon college
institutions.
Maurice Maeterlinck, whose literary craft
la a marvel of the present day. and who has
Just produced in London the successful
drama, "Bluebird." Is a delightful talker to
one or two friends. When faced by half a
dozen or more he beoomes as phy aa a school
girl and cannot be driven Into speech.
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

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.

The offer of the street railway com

in the service of the company during

one eye and could see very little with
the other. Five doctors said she would
be totally blind. She could not stand

bottles she could stand the light and
now she can do the finest needle work."
