LOS A.VGELKS. Oa!.. April 1. Louis
Gullbert. gd KS, a rancher, of Ellens
burg. Wa?h.. appealed to the police of
los Angeles today for assistance in re
covering JlO.ono which he declared lie had
loin yesterday on a fake wire-tapping
scheme in a poolroom in San Francisco.
Not until Gullbert readied this olty, in
flight to eMoapo aires, as he supposed,
did he learn that he had been bunkoed.
Gullbert arrived in San FT an Cisco on
April 4, according to hi story, with some,
cash and a. bank book showing the de
posit of J10.000 In an Ellensburg bank
the proceeds- of the sale of his ranch,
which he had just consummated. He
made the acquaintance of two men. "who
cava their names as Lane and McOulre.
The latter took l)lm to a place on Mar
ket street, which" he describes' as a pool
room. Friends Make Easy Wlnningft.
There they made several wagers on the
Emeryville races on different days. Lane
and Maguire drawing down 11500 as the
winnings on a single bet. Gullbert was
Informed that his companions had won
so persistently because they had "tajped"
the wlr"3 to Emeryville and learned the
result of races In advance of the pool
rooms. He was let in on what was to bo
the final big clean-up.
The) Ellensburg man drew upon his
home bank for too entire $10,000. while
Una and-Magulre pretended in the mean
time to place that sum for him in a sin
gle wager. Soon after he was told that
tie had won J1S.O0O. but that before draw
ing his winnings be would have to de
posit the amount of the' original bet.
Coin Given T-"p to Get Wager.
Gullbert surrendered the 110.000 to bis
companions. The latter engaged in a
quarrel over the division of their own
winnings, and while this dispute was at
its height the place ma raided by sup
posed detectives. Gullbert and the two
confidence men escaped by a aide door
and the rancher was hurried to the ferry,
where he was supplied with a ticket to
Los Angeles on last night's Owl train. It
was hurriedly arranged that be, lane
and Magulre should meet In Tucson. Aria.
and divide their profits.
The rancher became uneasy on the way
down and confided in the train conductor.
The latter advised him to return to 3an
Pmnclsoo at once and inform the police.
He was given the game advice at the
local station and returned north tonight.
Tn the meantime the San Francisco po
lice were notified of the- affair by wire.

FAIRBANKS MEN" SAY THEY
CLIMBED M'KIXLEY.
Mountaineers Departing December
1 5 Say Summit Was Beached
April 3 Cook Contradicted.
FAIRBANKS. Alaska. April IS.
That the Fairbanks expedition to Mount
McKlnley. the tallest peak in North
America, reached the summit on April
S. after a climb of one month from the
base, is reported here today. No traces of
Dr. Frederick A. Cook's alleged ascent
were found by the mountaineers who
assert they made the climb. .
Thomas Lloyd, leader of the expedition,
arrived here last night. His companions
were Daniel Patterson, W. R. Taylor and
Charles MoConlgle. all of whom, he says,
reaohed the top of the great mountain.
The expedition, which left Fairbanks
December 15. while the controversy over
Dr. Cook's disputed ascent was still rag
ing, was financed by Ous Peterson and
William McFhee, of this city. The plan
was to go Into camp on the mountain as
high as possible, and, probably about the
middle of May. make a dash for the sum
mit. Tho obstacles encountered were not
so great as had been predicted. They
report that four camps were established
during the ascent, and a trail was blazed
all the way to the crest. Up to 13,000 feet
the olimblng did not present unusual dif
ficulties, say the explore. For the next
4000 feet, they recount, the way led over
a steep ioo field which at first seemed to
forbid further progress, but through
which, upon exploration. It was found
possible to locate a path. Tho final dash
to the top was made from the 16,000-foot
camp, the mountaineers say.
Mount HcKlnley terminates in twin
peaks of equal height, one somewhat
rounded -end covered with mow, the oth
er composed of bare and wind-swept rock.
On the rock peak the Fairbanks climb
ers say they placed an American flag
in a monument of stones.
The expedition, which was provided
with Dr. Cook.'s maps and book, endeav
ored to follow his- alleged route, but ut
terly failed to verify any part of his story
of an ascent.
Dr. Cook said he ascended Mount Mc
Klnlajr and reached the summit on Sep
tember 16. 1906. He said he left at the
top of the mountain proofs that be had
been thare.
Mount McKlnley Is the assumed cul
minating point of the North American
Continent and In the Alaskan range,
latitude 63 degrees 4 minutes north,
longitude 151 west. Its height is given
as 30,484 feet. It Is extensively glaci
ated, and has always been regarded as
most difficult of ascent.

VTASHIKOTOJT, Aprfl 12. One effect
of the postponement of a decision by
the Supreme Court in tho Standard Oil
and Tobacco Trust cases will be to de
fer action by the Department of Jus
tice agralnst those combinations or
trusts believed to be operating in viola
tion of the Sherman anti-trust law.
This holds good where the vital points
of attack on such corporations are sim
ilar to those in the suits awaiting- set
tlement. In the broad area of the' law not
covered by the Standard Oil and the
Tobacco Trust cases, there is consid
erable room for operation and where
there Is sufficient evidence of the ex
istence of combinations In restraint
of trade and an agreement to fix
prices, prosecutions will continue. This
attitude of the government was msde
plain in Administration circles today.

WILEY BARS HOOD RIVER
ROW IS O.V IX HIGH SCHOOL
DEBATING LEAGtE
Principal or Xewberg School Insists
Hood Klver Must Meet Tillamook
or Drop Out of Leagtie.
HOOD RTVER, Or.. April 12. (Spe
cial.) On a ruling made by W. W.
Wiley, director of the Columbia River
district of the State Debating League,
it is argued by school authorities here
that Wiley is attempting to force Hood
River out of the league.
The ruling In question was made over
the telephone tonight to E. E. Coad. su
perintendent of the Hood River schools,
consisting of an ultimatum that Hood
River must debate with Tillamook next
Friday or be ruled out ot the league.
This, it Is stated, is being done to favor
the Newberg school, of which Mr. Wiley
has charge.
"Newberg." says Mr. Coad, "has held
but one debate this year, having defeat
ed Woodburn. Hood River was paired
with Astoria and The Dalles first. As
toria withdrew and Hood River defeated
The Dalles. Hood River was then paired
with Tillamook and Park Place. Mr.
Wiley holding his own school, Newberg,
out.
"Tillamook was barred from this de
bate upon a protest from Parkplace for
having used the wrong question in the
first debate. Hood River defeated Park
Place. Then Mr. Wiley paired Hood
River with Tillamook, still holding New
berg out.
"This looked to Hood River like rank
discrimination by Mr. Wiley in favor of
his own school. Tillamook is one hun
dred miles nearer Newberg than Hood
River. . The constitution of the debating
league says that the director must co
operate with the High School principals
in pairing schools upon the basis of con
venience and expense.
"Hood River would not have objected
to a triangular arrangement with Tilla
mook and Newberg. Now. since Hood
River refuses to meet this unjust condi
tion Imposed by Mr. Wiley, he says that
Hood River High School is to be barred
from the league."
