SANTA BARBARA, Cal., Sept. 28.
Fremont Older, managing editor of the
San Francisco Bulletin, who has been
active in. aiding. the prosecution of the
bribery-graft cases In San Francisco,
"was taken off a south-bound Southern
Pacific train at 8:30 o'clock this morn
ing by a force of 20 Ueputy Sheriffs,
who served a warrant for his arrest to
appear in the Superior Court before
Judge S. ' E. Crow at 1 o'clock t.is
morning in habeas corpus proceedings
to rescue him from the hands of a
'Constable from Los Angeles, who. It
Is alleged, virtually kidnaped hiin In
Ban Francisco. "
Word was received here early tUis
morning of the" .reported kidnaping of
Mr. Older and of his enforced trip to
Los Angeles in the custody of a
Deputy Sheriff. . Mr. Cobb, Francis J.
Heney's associate, telephoned to Rich
ards & Carrier, local attorneys, and
asked them to Institute habeas .corpus
proceedings to take Mr. Older from his
captors on the train. Judge S. E. Crow,
of the Superior Court. was roused
from bed at 2 A. M. and all necessary
' papers were" prepared empowering the
Sheriff to capture Mr. Older by force.
If need be.
Deputies Had Him Hidden.
All available Deputy Sheriffs and
police were on hand and boarded the
train promptly as soon as It came to
a standstill. The first search failed to
reveal Mr. Older or his captors, but on
going through the rear Pullman car a
second time they saw and recognize
him. . A copy of the warrant in the
habeas corpus proceedings was then
served on Mr. Older and shown to
Deputy Constable Ben Cohn of L03
Angeles, who had him in charge. Mr.
Older and the Santa Barbara officers
left the train without resistance. . Por
ter Ashe and Luther Brown, attorneys,
were on the train and accompanied the
deputies. Escorted by several- deputies,
Mr. Older was conducted to a waiting
automobile and; rushed to the Courtr
house to await a hearing.
' Excuse for Kidnaping. '
The legal'Jground upon which he was
taken by the .Los- Angeles officers was a
warrant for- his arrest issued by' J. W.
Summerfleld of a justice court In Los
Angeles and sworn to by a brother of
Luther Brown. It charges Mr. Older
and R. Corrothers of the San Fran
cisco Bulletin with criminal libel In con
nection with the alleged attempted kid
naping of Ex-Supervisor Lonergan which
was frustrated- by Detective Burns. Last
"Wednesday issue of the Bulletin con
tained an account of certain actions of
Luther Brown In connection with this
event ln which it is alleged that he had
been In company with - a disreputable
woman. The warrant was Issued in Los
Angeles because Mr. Brown's home Is
there. In telling- of his arrest and spir
iting away Mr. Older said:
Older's Story of Capture.
"I was in the office of Francis J. Heney
yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock wait
ing for Rudolph Spreckels, when a tele
phone message came for me. I answered
It and asked who it was, receiving the
reply that it was a Mr. Stapleton and
that he was at the Savoy hotel. I asked
what he wanted and he replied that he
wished to sue me on personal business.
I hesitated and he repeated that It was
very Important and personal business
which he could not discuss over the tele
phone. . I suspected that it was a trap
arul told Mr. Cobb so. He said of course
It was a trap, but I determined to see
Just what It was and told them to leave
word for Rudolph Spreckels when he
came In that. If I was not back soon,
they would know what was doing.
After leaving Mr. Heney's office I no
ticed that two automobiles were fol
lowing me on Van Ness avenue. They
dashed to the curb and four men
Jumped out of one of them? A war
rant was thrust Into my race and I
was told that It was from Los Ange'es.
"I protested that I wanted to see my
attorney about It, but they would not
let me. The four men had surrounded
me and hustled me Into the automobile.
In it were two deputy sheriffs and two
others, one of whom I think was a
Calhoun detective. In the other car
were Messra. Ashe and Brown."
Rushed Out of City.
Mr. Older said that the men promlsad
to take him before Judge Carroll Cook,
who had- countersigned the warrant,
but instead of doing so, pushed him
U the .rate of 30 miles an hour to Red
wood City, where they got on a. train
with him.
"When they seized me on the side
walk," said Mr. Older, "they marched
.one to make sure that I had no weapons.
In the automobile ihe man next to me
thrust something which I supposed to
be a revolver against my side and to'd
me he would shoot If I made any dis
turbance." Vlnally the captive was permitted to
dictate a message to Rudolph Spreck
els. He was .unaware of the habeas
corpus proceedings until Santa Barbara
was reached. In concluding his state
ment, Mr. Older sain:
"This whole thing is a diabolical
theme of Patrick Calhoun's. They
are a desperate band and will not hesi
tate at anything."
Older Returns Under Ball.
The proceedings before Superior
Judge S. E. Crow lasted an hour and a
half, in which time, the whole story of
the kidnaping- came out. It endfd by
Mr. Older's being allowed bail in the
sum of 12000 named In the warrant to
guarantee his appearance In the Jus
tice Court at Los Angeles at sucn time
as the court there should designate.
The ball bond was signed by -H. P.
Lincoln, cashier of the First National
Bank, and Paul Fox, a local capitalist.
Luther Brown, who swore to the com
plaint of criminal libel against Mr.
, Older, ,told . his story of the circum
stances. , "Say for me," he said, "that this Is
entirely a personal matter. Neither
Calhoun nor -any other man has insti
gated me to undertake these proceed
ings.", He denied the reports that had been
. published about him. Porter. Ashe, who
testified, during the-proceedings, prac
v ti.lly admitted the kidnaping of Mr.
tOlder.

THE superior quality and exclusiveness of the fabrics carried by this establishment
have been the subject of universal comment by the men of Portland. Those visit
ing this store'for the first time invariably express unbounded astonishment at the
really extraordinary stock we display. From every producing country in the woolen line
from all the world is found a representative showing. Not a few patterns of a kind, but
hundreds and hundreds of each of the popular weaves Homespuns, Cheviots, Cassimeres,
Tveeds and Worsteds twice as many as most tailors carry, indeed, so many choice pieces
that an unsatisfactory selection becomes an absolute impossibility.
But this is not all; the splendid character of these fabrics adds much in the making
in style, individuality, in the artistic tone of the garments. Columbia Tailoring is not an
every-day proposition; its1 equal is found in very few other cities in the United States.
