ASSAILANT IS CAPTURED Slajer Tells Authorities That He Heard That Former Employer Had Cast Reflection Upon His Character. ' Obsessed with the belief that Isaac Bloom, a commission man, and his former employer, had spread reports Injuring his reputation, James Ham mond, 66 years old, a commission house employe, shot and fatally injured Bloom about 5 o'clock P. M. yesterday In a commission house at 95 Front street. After a chase of seven blocks through a crowded part of the city, Hammond surrendered at Third and Ash streets to T. J. Baty, special officer of the Multnomah Hotel, and R. E. Miller, bus attendant at the same place. Bloom was taken to St. Vincent's Hospital, dying at 10:30 P. M. Hammond says he heard slurs upon his character, which he traced to Bloom, by whom he was discharged recently. On Monday he bought a revolver, with which, he says, he planned to crip ple Bloom. He said he bought the weapon in a second-hand store on Third street. In which, he said, contrary, to law, the gun was exposed for sale. Entering the office of the Southern Oregon Produce & Commission Com pany at 95 Front street, he called to Bloom, who had come In with G. Plass, of the Company; W. F. Hartell, of 967 Lombard street, and Henry Larson, of ISheridan, Or. Bloom, who had gone to the mezzanine floor, where the of fices are, refused to come down, ask. lng Hammond to come up to him on the stairs. Hammond replied, say the eyewit nesses: "Tou come down here. I am not go ing to hurt" you." When Bloom descend ed, Hammond spoke to him for a mo ment concerning the reports. To Bloom's reply that be had nothing to do with their circulation, he drew a 22-callber revolver and shot Bloom In the head. The bullet passed through the band in his hat end lodged In his skull over the left eye. Closely followed by the three eye witnesses, Hammond ran out of the commission house to Third and Ankeny Streets, where he saw Miller. Mistak ing Miller for a policeman, he gave himself up. He was turned over to the police. Under the questionings of Deputy IHstrlct Attorney Murphy. Hammond confessed a large part of the Incidents of the shooting. He said the gun "went off before I got ready." Deputy District Attorneys Collier and Magulre talked with Bloom at the hos pital. He told of hia disagreements with Hammond and of the shooting. . Bloom lived at 620 Third street, where his wife and two children also live. Hammond Is an ex-soldier, having at one time attained the rank of Sergeant In the jNlneteenth Infantry.

There will be no Investigation by a Senatorial committee or any other into the relation between the social evil and the eco nomic question of low wages for women during the life of this Legislature. So much has been decided upon by Senate leaders and tomorrow morning the Gates committee, appointed today to carry out the provisions of the Beban resolution, will report back to the Sen ate that it is "physically impossible to investigate within the terms of this res olution." At the same time the suggestion will be made that a concurrent resolution providing for a Joint committee from Senate and Assembly be Introduced. This joint committee would be a hold over body and would not begin Its work until the close of the present session, whe.n the pending legislation relating to white slavery and the minimum wage will have been acted upon. JOINT IXQCIRV PROPOSED Michigan May 'Stretch Point," Gov- ernor Ferris Says. LANSING. Mich., March 12. In a for ma I statement today announcing his of ficial indorsement of a proposal for a joint Investigation of white-slave traf fic by the States of Illinois and Michi gan. Qovernor Ferris urged that the Michigan Investigation extend teyond so-called ' white-slave evils to other economic evils. A resolution has already been intro duced in the Legislature for a vice probe, but there are certain restrictions in Michigan laws which prevent the ap pointment of committees or commis sions to serve beyond the term of the Legislature itself. "Some way will be found to overcome this difficulty, even if we have to stretch a point," said the Governor. . rXQXIRY PEVDHrV; SAYS FOSS Massachusetts About to Direct In vestigation of "While Slavery."

"I have no doubt this commission will co-operate as fully as possible with your commissioners in a joint ef fort to eradicate this form of vice." $9 HELD AS RIGHT MINIMUM Milwaukee Committee Advises Wom en Earning Less to Keep Away.

MILITANTS BEING SUED MERCHANTS SEEK TO RECOVER DAMAGES FROM LEADERS. Government Action to Recover Costs From Editor of 'Votes for Women' Brings Up New Question. LONDON, March 12. The government has served a writ on Frederick Pethick Lawrence, joint editor with his wife of Votes for Women, for the recovery of 608 pounds ($3040), the unpaid balance of the costs 4n the conspiracy trail at Old Bailey last May. The sum of 306 pounds was recovered by the sale of Lawrence's furniture and belongings last October. The. suffragettes believe the govern ment has taken this action now In view of similar orders to pay the costs of prosecution being made against other suffrage offenders. A large number of trading firms In the west end of London are beginning joint actions In the civil courts to test the liability of Mrs. Pankhurst and her daughters and Mr. and Mrs. Pethick Lawrence for mili tancy. The charges In the actions are conspiracy to induce window breaking and heavy damages are claimed. It is probable that three months will elapse before the cases come up for trial. Two suffragette meetings, one at Edenbrldge, Kent, and the other at Radlett, Herefordshire, were broken up tonight by opponents of the cause. At Edenbrldge the wall behind the plat form was bespattered by a fusillade of eggs. . The platform was stormed and the police were called out to restore order. At Radlett shouting, singing and ringing of bells drowned out the speeches. POLICE LIKE VULTURES "GRAFT" NOT ABATED WHEN ROSENTHAL WAS KILLED. Whitman Finds New Witness, Who Declares He Was Assessed Out of Business by Officials. NEW YORK, March 12. Members of the police "system" assessed Herman Michels, once known as "King of the Gamblers" In Harlem, to the point where he had to give up his poolrooms, ! Michels told District Attorney Whit man today. Michels then went before the grand jury to add his story to the evidence that is being used as a basis for indictments of police officials and others. After the murder of Herman Rosen thal, the gambler, the police became "vulturous," Michels told the prose cutor, contradicting the popular Im pression that grafting was less prac ticed after that crime. Michels de clared he paid first $50 monthly and then $150. He described how three po lice officials, inspectors, at various times In the district where he operated, called at his establishments, watched the gambling going on and allowed him to operate unmolested as long as he paid tribute to the collectors. "They all have taken my money," Michels said, "and I do not Intend to go to jail for perjury just to shield them." Mr. Whitman said he has obtained figures showing that $250,000 annually was paid the police in Harlem alone by Keepers of gambling and disorderly re sorts for Immunity from Interference. 'SMUGGLER QUEEN' DIES WOMAN SCCCUMBS AT AGE OF 26 IN LOS ANGELES. Alleged Leader in Trade of Bringing Chinese Into United States Feared by Government. LOS ANGELES". March 12. Mrs. Ethel Hall, the so-called "queen of the smug glers." who passed a year in the coun ty Jail before pleading guilty and pay ing a fine of $10, died in a hospital here today. Mrs. Hall's arrest created a great deal of excitement when Government officials declared that she was the lead ing spirit of a band of smugglers who were active in bringing contraband Chinese coolies Into the United States from Mexico. Immigration officers had many a thrilling adventure before the band was broken up. Several alleged members of the band were imprisoned in the county Jail and others in the Federal penitentiaries. Mrs. Hall, who was only 16 years old, was credited by immigration authori ties with having been the "brightest smuggler who ever operated on the Pacific Coast of the United States." Even after her release from Jail, she appeared to have some great interest in Mexico, as she paid a visit to Ensenada, Lower California, but was ordered de ported by the Mexican authorities. Two indictments pending aprainst her at the time of her death will be for mally dismissed by the Government. j OFFICER SWORE AT HER, SAYS PARADER Madame' Mountford, Evangel ist, Accuses Washington Police Captain.

Alleged Language Told. She said that Captain Mulhall, in re fusing to allow her to cross the police lines with a suffrage banner, handled her roughly and exclaimed: "Tou damned women had your day yester day." Charges against Captain Mulhall in connection with the Incident are being investigated by the police department. About a dozen business men who were organized into a committee of public order for the Inaugural period and who endeavored to aid the police in subduing the disorder during the suffrage parade, declared that the po lice had done all that was humanly possible to handle the crowd, but that the gathering was too large to be con trolled. Captain Henry Schneider, who was In charge of the police detail at the point on Pennsylvania avenue where the crowd was densest and where the cavalry was finally sent, declared that his officers worked faithfully In their efforts to clear the street. Men Told to Work Faithfully. "Had you any reason to think," asked Senator Jones, "that Major Syl vester or anyone else at headquarters would overlook any neglect of duty in connection with this parade or that they wanted the parade interfered with?" "No," answered the captain emphati cally. He declared that Major Sylvester had been emphatic and explicit In his In structions to his subordinates and that while the men of the department looked upon the parade in a "light manner," they had been admonished to 'work faithfully. He had never heard Major Sylvester speak disparagingly of the parade or the women In charge of it, he said. The committee adjourned until Fri day, when other police officials will testify.
