NELSON AND FAMILY. LAW COVERS 'ME' SEATTLE HOLO-UP Aftermath of Society's Diver sion May Not Be Pleasant.. NOT MEANT FOR PAPERS Leaders in "Robbery" of Coaching Party Very Sorry Tbat Police Were. Put to So Much Incon- venience Through Episode. SEATTLE. Wash., June 9. (Special.) George W. Vanderveer, Prosecuting Attorney, notified Chief of Police Wap penstein this afternoon that the sta tutes' of the state thoroughly cover the "holdup" of the Harry Whitney Treat coach, filled with society women, yes terday, and that his office proceed againt the culprits if Wappenstein saw fit to file Informations. - "1 greatly regret the whole unfor tunate occurrence., I am sorry it got into the newspapers and very much regret the inconvenience and embar rassment caused the police," said Mr. Treat today. "Before we started from the Hotel Washington, Joshua Green, whose wife was giving the coaching party, told me that I needn't be surprised if some thing queer happened along the road that there might be some fun. "It was Mrs. Green's party, as I have said, and she occupied the box seat. Husband or Hostess "Robber." "When the masked men appeared, I whipped up and tried to drive by the hold-up party. A large man, who was, I have been told, no less a personage than Mr. Green himself, grabbed the leader on the far side and hung on. ."The horse dragged him probably 50 yards and the man's weight on the rein drew the leaders into the ditch. To save an accident, I stopped the coach." "This affair was not intended to- get into the newspapers that's the worst feature of the case," said Joshua Green this morning. "You see, these little personal mat ters ought not to be printed. I regret that the police were called that was an oversight. We did not figure on that. As for the women on the coach, they are all my wife's friends and mine, and I believe if they were asked to vote today they would say they wouldn't have missed the experience for any thing. Much Criticism" Heard. "Yes, we had guns, all right, and they were big and ugly-looking, but they were old-fashioned and not in service. There was no such thing as a cartridge in the crowd. "Of course there is no Joke In hav ing a bunch of detectives ride several miles at top speed on the report of a hold-up that was no hold-up, after alL That part of it is bad." The fifth of the bold "bandits," whose name was not learned yesterday, is Henry Dickinson, whose wife was in the coaching- party. Comments of various kinds were heard all over the city last night and tonight regarding the affair on the Golf and Country Club road. There was criticism 'in plenty, and particularly be cause the police were notified of a highway robbery in which jewels worth $7000 or JSOOO had been taken at the point of a battery of guns which turned out to be a hoax. It is reported, too, that the nerves of some of the women on the coach were so badly shattered that one or two of them fainted after the excitement was over.

House Provision Exempting Labor Unions Prom' Anti-Trust Law Prosecutions Killed. WASHIXQTON, June 9.-Actlon of the Senate committee on appropriations in striking out of the civic sundry appro priation bill the House provision direct ing that no part of the money, for enforc ing the anti-trust law shall be1 utilized In the prosecution of combinations . looking to the increase of -wages, the- shortening of hours and the betterment of the condi tions of labor was sustained by the Sen ate today after an animated debate. The vote was 34 to 16. Stone and Mclnery voted affirmatively with the Republicans and Burkett, Dol liver, Jones, Page and Warner in the negative. Bacon and Owen criticised the commit tee's action. Both contended that the anti-trust law was not intended to apply to such combinations. If there were acts of violence, they said, they could be pun ished under the criminal laws. Defending the committee's action. Hale called attentidh to the practice of boy cotting and said that the committee had thought it best to strike out the pro vision, to afford an opportunity to the committee to consider the subject. Heyburn also indorsed the committee's action, saying he did not see the wisdom of having a criminal statute without pro viding for its enforcement. The gather ings of wage-earners were not always peaceable and he added that he had seen many acts of violence grow out of such meetings. He intimated that the purpose of the House provision was to influence vdtes. Gore contended that the House provision ws not intended to protect violence and said, that the effort to' prosecute labor ing men for movements in their interest was a relic of the dark ages.
