He told me that he waa an o nicer In th Oer mart army and at present working In Ihe secret service of th CSerman em plre. and worked her under Kranx llopp. th Imperial CSerman Consul. He hen told me that my nationality aivd personality had been Inquired Into by detectives on behalf of lh English au thoritlea and Canada, and said. There for. I know you could do something for ua In Canada.' l told him I would hav no objec lion, but that he muat first nam hla price. II said It would be worth 1100 I went lo the German ronsulats and met Frana llopp. Ihe Imperial Oftnun 'onul. and on answering different questions being asked me by Mr. llopp. the Caerman Consul. I became very pro- Herman in the etpre.alon of my senti ments. Later Yon Briny-ken ram to me again and asked me if I wouB do something for bim In t anada. tllarfc oa Hallway I'laaaed. "Von Brincken told n that they wer willing to rend m up to (anada blow up on of lh railroad brldg on th ( acad.ara Facinc Kallroad. or on of th tunnels, or anything at alt. b said. I asked him what waa In II and be aald be woaild talk It over with lb Herman Consul, llopp. Afterward I wrote a letter to Wal ler C. Orchard, one of the assistant of tba general freight manager of the "anadian Pacific Hallway la Vancouver. It. C. giving substantially th facts hereinbefore stated I received a tele gram from Mr. Orchard. In reply. In tn following tenor: "Com Immediately to Vancouver: your traveling; eapensea III be paid. "la Ihe meantime I had accepted Von Brincken' proposition to go to Can ada and bo offered ma li to defray my evpaneea. On different occasion Von Brincken showed m maps and In formation about Canada and pointed out to m where h wanted tb art to i don. ea. Hallway Cheew. "II was to ba between Itvltok and Vancouver on th Canadian Fa ct fio Railway, and I was to get tJOO la ca.a of a successful blowing; np of a military train or bridge or tunnel. There ar many tunnel and bridge there, aad military train pas every Ihre or four days. In. May I went lo Vancouver. I tele phoned Immediately to Orchard. I spent tb most of that day at Mr. Or chard's bom. Next morning he took up lo th offlr of th Intelligence officials and I met Mr. Tweeds! Unere, "On Monday night Mr. Tweedal and I went o Victoria. R. C to sea th commanding dlatrlrt officer. Mr. Ogll vle. where th statement mad by me waa read and th following sen em was agreed upon: With the asalatanc of lh officials of th Canadian Taclfle Hallway Company, n statement waa to appear In th paper ef th fact that a tunnel wa raved In In on ef in curve of th tietktrka. "The headline was. Trouble on th Railroad.' Tb story ran: 'A report wa received thla morning that on of lh tunnels In th ttelklrka had caved In and railway traffic had been con siderably delayed. Th cause of It la unknown to th railway officials, but th official ar Investigating.' Leaawa of Telearraaa Veiled. "So when this appeared In th papers I wrote a postcard to Von Brincken. of which th contents were about aa follows: On front page of Vancouver papers of such a date tl think that It waa the 10th of May), newa appear .of a flood In Japan: our system may be In trou ble, so wire her.- "The Intention was to get Von Brincken to send on an answer. Th meaning of this postcard waa to show hlro thai on th am pag also was this report of a tave-ln In the tunnel. I sent this postcard to Jess Miller. "Von Brincken alway signed his let ters 'Jack and they were mostly Tor. warded by C. C. Crowley, a former de-' tecttve for th outhern Pacific Rail way Conipany, but h la now and at the time waa employed a a secret agent by th German Consul In fan Francisco. As I understand It. Crowley had or ders to send theso telegrams from Oak land and as a matter of fact I re reived one telegram from Oakland. When I rame back to J-nn Franclaco I saw Von Brincken and h told me that h had answered by telegram my post card as follows: "'Would Ilk to send some 'flower to your wife but do not know her ad drrae.' II meant that he wanted the adi'ess of my wife to rend there a let ter which would have been forwarded to me and he then and there handed me i:oo In L'nlted (States greenbacks and told me to come up to the office of the German consulate and get the balance aa he wanted Mr. Bopp. the German Consul, to take some responsibility In this matter himself. Talk With Bap Related. When I rame up lo the office of the German Consulate I was let Into the private office of Mr. Bopp, Ihe German Consul, where mere present Mr. von Shark, the German Vice-Consul: the aid Von Ilrlncken and Mr. Franz Bopp. the German Consul himself. They asked me lo tell my story, showing me a niap of British Columbia. . 1 made ob jections lo doing that in the presence of three people and Mr. Bopp. the Ger man Consul. Indignantly rose up and said all three were sworn In and that I could really without any fear tell what I had done for the Consul and th Fatherland. I then told him what 1 bad done In Canada. "Not satisfied with my story tber wanted further proof. I had already riven f.ncm in lour copies vi in" uii- ferent ancouver papers. which I brought with me. as I am slightly ac quainted with the Dutch Vlce-Cpnsul. Mr. Van lloegen. In Vancouver. B. C. I wrote a letter to lilm asking him to Inquire of the general superintendent of lh Canadian Pacific Railway why a car of freight which I expected from the Fast had not arrived yet and to wire m at my expense. "In Ihe meantime I wired Mr. Orchard to send me the following telegram: "Superintendent refused Informa tion. Found out. however, that freight haa been delayed 11 days on account of accident. V. It.' Additional Faeeaae raid. "Armed with the message. I went lo aee the German Consul. It muat be here talad tbat Mr. Bopp. the German Consul, wrote himself to Mr. Van Roc- gen. I only furnished the address. With Ihe telegram I went to see the German Consul. Mr. Bopp, who ordered the Vice-Consul. Mr. on bchark. to pay me the additional expense of S-100 traveling expenses, which made liOO. "Mr. Bopp. the German Consul, or dered Mr. Von b-chack to get the money from the safe and It was paid to me In greenbacks In the presence of Mr. Von Ba-hack. the Vice-consul of Germany, i Mr. Bopp, the German Consul, and Mr. Von Brincken. I agreed that I would be satnflei with UTiO for my service In blowing up he tunnel. Instead of Ihe 13000 which waa first agreed upon." Von Koolliergen says that after some drlar Von Brincken paid 11300, retain ing; 121 for himself. LUMBER TARIFF HIGHER APV1MK IX PRICK DECLARED AB aoRBF.D IX COST OF MOVI.VG. aearelly of Bet toss la Krporled Menace la Trade aad Caaal Carrlera Kallrely l-arklag. HOQflAM. Wash.. Pec 14 (Special.) Lumber freight rates from lloqulam nd Grays Harbor to California points hare advanced 12 per 1U0O feet In the last two months, the latest advance of SO centa going Into effect yesterday. The rate la now ti to San Francisco and Ii 60 to San Pedro. Two things have been responsible for the sudden advance In freights the acute shortage of shipping and the Im provement In the lumber trade, which has caused a more Insistent demand for tonnage. Lumbermen are now getting; an advance of about tl per 1000 feet In prices, but It Is being eaten up by the advance In freights. Since the opening of the European war more than 60 per cent of the ship ping on the Pacific Coast has gone Into other trade, according to figures pre pared by shipping men. At the be ginning of the war there was total lumber-carrying capacity, mostly steam schooners and tramp steamers, on the Paclflo Coast of bJ.ooo.000 feet. There Is now on this Coast a total of only 40.000.000 feet rapacity. The remainder ba gone to other commerce or In other seas, much of It to tee Atlantic Coast. Tber i practically no shipping for lumbar through th Panama Canal available. An evidence of bow keenly thla shortage is being felt here Is the fart that where Grays Harbor formerly shipped aa average of about 40.000,000 feet of lumber by water monthly, the average Is now about zo.ooo.OPO. In November 33.000. 000 feet were shipped by water, and thla waa the heaviest month this year. MRS.

(Spe cial ) Mrs. Margaret M. Ross. leading figure In the North River nlgbtrlder trouble, baa swung Into a new line of action, and now appears witn a com plaint, to be filed wlta the bupreme Court, asking Ibat two Grays Harbor and five Paciflo County prominent at lorneys be disbarred. She accuses them of being In conspiracy with an "oath bound" band of outlaws and of acquit tins; men they knew to be criminals and of prosecuting and Imprisoning; those whom they knew- to be innocent. The attorneys charged are George D. Abel, of Hoqulam; W. 1L Abel, of Mon isms no, both of whom defended the nlgbtrlder; John T. and Martin Welsh. prominent South Bend attorneys; H. W. B. Itewen. ex-prosecutor of Pacific County; John L O'Phelan. present prosecutor, and Judge Wright, of Pa cific County. Mrs. Ross In her complaint asks that soma attorney not connected with the Attorney-General's office be appointed to conduct the investigation of charges against the seven attorneys named. She aaks such action, she say, "because E. V. Allen went directly from th office of Mr. Hswen to the Attorney-General's office, and baa filled tbat office so full of prejudice agalnat your petitioner that she fears a partial Investigation would be the result." All seven attorneys ar charged with aiding and abetting; an oath-bound gang of outlaw, with subornation of perjury through which her sons were confined In the Pacific County Jali; with betraying clients and with charg ing accused persons with crimes who wer known to them to be Innocent. upmanot$e & (Sot c'MercKand.so ofcMttrit Only" ,WVs . i aw-. v i I,' m . -n 'ii J.i-, i 'il r r i Why Not a Novelty Store Open Tonight 6 to 9 o'clock Dressing Sacque? $5.50 Dressing Sacque $2.95 Pretty Japanese styles of flowered silk in pink, rose and lavender, finished wide silk bands. $6.50 Embroidered Kimonos $4.95 Hand-embroidered Japanese kimonos navy and red.
