Without Competition.
LOS ANGELES. CaL. April II. (Spe
cial.) The arrest of F. W. Frankhouser
In Portland last night may precipitate
1 startling disclosure In the Gamewell
Fire Alarm scandal. Frankhouser was
arrested on a charge of falsification of
public records. The special charge is
that be altered dates on requisitions and
demands Issued for the purchase ' of
I Gamewell Fire Alarm apparatus sev
1 eral years ago.
I Under tha last administration an In
I vestlgation was begun and startling facts
j are aald to have been uncovered. Frank
! houser's connection with certain Irregu
larities was discovered early when It
waa planned to prosecute him, he Is
said to have made a statement telling
everything and seriously Implicating oth
er city officials. Frankhouser's resigna

graph bureau was forced about a year
ago. He agreed to remain in the city
and to assist in the prosecution of oth

The demands and requisitions Frank
houser Is said to have altered were for
apparatus to have been used In equip

charter provides that nq purchases call
ing for more than J600 may. be made
without advertising. The . Gamewell

Police Believe Black Hand Per
petrate Deed to Avenge Refusal
of Another Merchant to Pay
Amomt Demanded.
OAKLAND. Cal., April a. (Special.)
With a detonation that aroused the en
tire neighborhood, a bomb was exploded
upon the front porch of the Reno Jodg-Ing-house
at 5s8 Fifth street shortly
after 2 o'clock this morning. Thirty
lodgers were sound asleep at the time
of the explosion, but owing to the man
ner in which the bomb was placed no
one was Injured, the force of the explo
sion expending outwardly.
It Is the theory of A. Satuer. pro
prietor of the Reno House, that the
bomb was not intended for his place
at all, but for a French bakery at 811
Clay street, running back, to Fifth
street.' which is conducted by J. Caa
sou and M. Michael. In this connec
tion a peculiarly sinister aspect Is
given the case by the circumstance
that Cassou recently received two let
ters signed "Black Hand" and threat
ening that If he did not pay 2000 his
place of business would be blown up
and he with It.
Police Make Inquiry.
The first letter to Cassou was dated
March 28 and the police have been
quietly conducting an investigation
into the circumstances of Its sending
since. ' The second letter was dated
April 11. A high barbed wire fence
surrounds the bakery and it Is the
general theory that the bomb. If
thrown, at the bakery, struck the wire
and bounded back. landing on the
porch of the Reno house,' where It ex
ploded.
The letter to Cassou is as follows:
"March 28. Mr. Cassou: You are
obliged to bring i000. between Sixth
and Seventh and Jefferson streets, Oak
land. In this place Is an empty lot ana
right-hand corner is a pile or stones.
Remove the atone and place the money
there and replace the stone. 11 you
don't bring the money by Friday night
your place -of business "will be blown
up and you will go up with It. If you
take later, than Friday mgnt your son,
Felice, will be taken away from you,
and then you will be obliged to pay
toOOO. If you put the cops wise; dam
sight worse for you. . Black Hand.
The son Felice is 8 yeare) old. A sec
ond letter was received April 11, de
manding that be placed In Golden
Gate Park, and making the same
threats. It Is also said that the proprle
tors of the bakery have been having
trouble, owing to the fact that their
establishment Is nonunion, and It is
eald that several attempts have been
made to burn the place.
Newspaper Hides Bomb.
In connection with tha Black Hand
theory, a significant fact Is that the
bomb was wrapped In an Italian news
paper, as several fragments of an
Italian paper. were found scattered on
the porch and .front yard after the
nollce commenced making their inves
titrations. The windows In the front
of the building were shattered and a
portion of the front of the building
wrecked, but otherwise no serious
damage was done, although the shock
rocked the neighborhood like an earth
auake.
It Is believed that the ignorance or
the person placing the dynamite was
responsible for the Infernal machine
not creating greater havoc, and pos
sibly loss of life. All that remains
of what was evidently a dynamite ar
rangement is a piece of ordinary
miner's fuse, which Is In the posses
sion of the police. The police ex
amined the lodgers of the house." but
no one waa able to supply a motive
for the deed. All claim to be without
enemies who would have any desire to
adopt such tactics by way of revenge.

OREGON ORATORS LOSE
WASHINGTON' LAW SCHOOL
TEAM WINS DEBATE.
Victors, on Negative Side of Labor

.Use of Federal Reports.
The University of Washington Law
School was victorious in the annual de
bate with the University of Oregon

New Zealand."
Leo Baisden and Lloyd Black repre
sented Washington. E. H. Whitney and
Ben F. Wagner composed the Univer
sity of Oregon team. The Washington
men upheld the megative side of the
question. Their argument consisted al
most wholly of quotations from reports
In the United States Labor Bulletin,

was probably the star orator.

and Elmer E. Coovert, of Portland.-The
members of the two teams and Judges
attended a banquet given for them at

Point Made- That Washington High

OLYMPIA, Wash.. April 21. (Spe

General will be called upon to decide
whether W. J. Roberts, of Medford,
Or., who was offered the position of
State Highway Commissioner of Wash
ington, by Governor Hay and who has
signified his willingness to accept, is
eligible for the place, there having
been raised a doubt as to whether he
Is a resident of Oregon or Washing
ton. Mr. Roberts was a member of the
faculty of the State College for some
time, but has resided in Medford for a
number of years. There is a constitu
tional provision that all state officials
must be residents of Washington, and
Roberts' right to qualify hinges on that
question. This cannot be decided un-
