Los Angeles Man Confesses
Killing Aged Veteran.
CRIME SEEN BY WOMEN
f
Salter, of Tacoma, Kobbed of Gold,
Knocked Downstairs, Neck Bro
ken sod Body Picked Vp
by Garbage Man.
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 2. (Special-)
F5ca.usa Mra. Willis' Krnstein, or Ein
stein, feared prosecution on the charga
ot compoundlnsr a felony she told the
police the hiding place of her husband,
lie was arrested today after a sensa
tional hnnt and as a result a startling
mystery seems atout to te cieareu up.
Ernstein Is accused of having mnr
I dered William Salter, a wealthy Civil
'.War veteran, aged 74 years, who
came here from Tacoma and was
to and dyinlf in a allv August
. 14, with -is nem oronrn. i no
' Coroner's Jury arter a ions dui per
Ifunotory examination found that Salter
bad been trampiea y m.
through the alley at night. Mrs. Ern
stein and the landlady of a rooming
fcouse to which Ernstein is alleged to
bave taken the veteran for the purpose
of robbery, are said by the police to
have seen the nrime committed. A vir
tual confession has been obtained from
them. The landlady gave her secret to
a prixefighter a few days ago. and he
told the police, who had long since
dropped the matter.
Women's Story of Crime.
According to the women's version.
Ernstein and the old man talked so
loudly in a room that they were at
tracted and saw Ernstein take a purse
r gold from Salter. Ernstein then
knocked the veteran down and crushed
Saltr"s chejt with his knees, according
to the women. As Salter staggered up
st the top of a rear stairway. Ernstein
ts said to have hit him again, knocking
htm backwards. The fall Is supposed
to have broken his neck. The dying
man was carried into the alley half a
block from First and Spring streets,
where a garbage collector picked him
up.
Ernstein Admits Murder.
Ernstein is held in the City -all. It is
said he tells of being intoxicated on the
night of Salter's death and of meeting
him In a saloon and enticing him to his
borne for the purpose of robbing him.
When 8ltr resisted and made his es
I cape he says he followed and,- overtaking
, hua. dragged htm into the alleyway and
struck him on the forehead with a club.
Ernstein is 25 years of age.
SALTER FAMILY SURPRISED
Knew Xotliiug of Murder Charge.
Salter Owned Much Property.
TACOMA. Wash., Oct. I. (Special.) In
formation from Los Angeles that Willis
Ernsteiu has been arrested for the mur
der of William Salter, the former Ta
coman, comes as a surprise to friends of
Salter here. Dennis Foley, a brother-in-law,
is sick in bed and could not be
reached, but inquiry at the Tourist Hotel,
of which he is proprietor, throws no light
on the arrest. It was positively stated by
those close to Mr. Foley that no word
of the arrest had been received here.
Mr. Salter, a veteran of the Civil War,
formerly resided here and owned consid
erable property. For several years he had
spent the Winters in California, and it
was while on one of these visits he was
killed. Detectives from here went to Los
Angeles, but the case did not bear the
earmarks of murder. The body was
picked up in the gutter, and the verdict
of the Coroner's jury was that he had
come to his death by being stepped upon
by a horse
SCIENTISTS DROP LEADER
SIRS. AUGUSTA E. STETSON DIS
MISSED FROM CHURCH.
Womnn Talked of as Mrs. Eddy's
Successor Ict Out for Teach
ing Erroneous Doctrines.
BOSTON, Oct. I. Alfred Farlow,
chairman of the committee on publi
cation of the First Church of Christ.
Scientist, confirmed today a report that
Mrs. Augusta H. Stetson, of New York,
had been dismissed from the body of
Christian Scientists.
Mr. Farlow declined to comment on
the case, but In reply to a question as
to the effect of the action of the mem
bers of the church, said:
"It Is to be hoped they will receive
it in a Christian manner and treat It
accordingly."
Mrs. Stetson was one of the most in
fluential members of the church and
had been referred to as a possible suc
cessor to Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy as
head of the organisation. It Is alleged
that Mrs. Stetson had been teaching
erroneous doctrines.
Woman' Parse 6natched.
While walking almost In front of her
home after leaving a W car at Nine
teenth and Flanders streets, Mrs. James
L. Wickersham. of ISO North Eighteenth
street, had her handbag snatched by a
yonth about !0 years old, who ran
down Flanders street toward tho city.
Mrs. Wickersham screamed and gave
chase, but was outdistanced. The purse
contained $30 in money and small
articles of Jewelry. - -

of a master with consistent faithful
ness. Subdues Fears of SUakeup.
The New York conferences have de
veloped the fact that the Harriman
policies are to be carried out to the
letter if It lies within the triumvirate
to carry them out. Even now Mr.
Kruttschnitt is making a tour of the
Western lines with a view to quieting
any fears that may be entertained of
a "shakeup" or a revolution. Rumors
of radical changes, or new presidents,
of going back to the individual form of
operation, have been rife, as a matter
of course. Mr. Kruttschnitt is assur
ing the men in his department that so
fur as he can make them, affairs are
to move along In the same old way,
without change of policy or of methods.
E. O. McCormick, assistant traffic
director. Is also making a complete
tour of the Western lines and Is giving
the same assurance officially to the
men who are in the traffic department.
Such trips are necessary to restore the
full confidence of the staff and to allay
all fears and all unrest.
Carry Out Improvement Plans.
..That the Harriman policy with all its
aggressiveness is to be continued is evi
denced by the fact that official announce
ment has been made of the fact that all
the vast Improvement plans which Har
riman had planned at the timo of his
death are to be carried out to the letter.
These improvements in their aggregate
call for an expenditure of fully tlOO.OOO,
000. and are to be undertaken with the
view to intrenching more securely the
Harriman lines in their present strong
holds and with a view to reaching out for
new territory.
There is to be no cessation of effort to
acquire new fields for future tonnage.
The extensions of the Union and South
ern Paclfio systems which have been de
termined upon will necessitate the con
struction of fully 1000 nines of railroads.
Of this mileage approximately 600 Is In

From Centralia, Wash., between Port

t racked for accommodation of traffic of
the Harriman lines, a branch is being
run to Grays Harbor, a distance of 68
miles. This will ultimately run north
ward 100 miles to Puget Sound through
one of the finest sections of forest in the
world.
Extensions under way on the Southern

173 miles are being added to the Oregon

sion here at 12 o'clock today after adopt
ing a resolution calling upon the National
Government to legislate against perpetual
franchises for water power or water
rights in Western states, and urging that
similar state legislation be passed with
out waiting for Congressional action.
The apex law, under which the ds
coverer of a mineral lode or vein can fol
low It outside the lines of his claim was
another subject of discussion, and Its
repeal, with the substitution of a law
making the side lines of a claim its limits
when continued downward vertically, was
urged.
Wlldcate mining schemes were placed
under the ban by the congress, which
urged state and National legislation to
prevent the operators of such schemes
from diverting money of Investors that
