If the allegatlona made by the com
plainant and corroborated by Miss M. L.
Crawford, a manicurist in the Raleigh
building, and a well known buainesa
man whose name the autherlttes refuse
to divulge, are proven, Philbrook la
likely to go to the penitentiary. The
prisoner stoutly maintains his Innocence
and claims that he la being made the
victim of a blackmailing scheme.
According to the story told to the
police and which Captain Bruin atatee
upon investigation provea to be true,
Philbrook called at the rooms of Miss
Crawford last Monday night and waa in
troduced bv her to Miss Nebethau, who
formerly was office assistant to a phy-.
aiclan in the building. After a few
minutes' conversation Philbrook Is said
to have Inquired of the Crawford woman
If ahe kept any champagne for sale.
Recelvlns- an answer In the negative he
Leiaked where some wine could be secured
and upon Miss Crawford s instructions
repaired to a saloon below to get two
bottles of liquor and aome cigars on her
account.
Upon returning It Is claimed that he
gave her a check for $20 in payment for
tne reiresnmenis ana some manicuring
which she had done for him and De
tective Vaughn. After his hostess had
Indorsed the check Philbrook Is alleged
to have secured possession of the paper
and then announced that as he waa an
officer he would have to arrest her
for selling liquor withlut a license and
the other woman for Immoral conduct.
Philbrook backed up his bluff, so it
is claimed, by exhibiting a star in
scribed with the name of the Vaughn
Detective agency and No. 6. It Is al
leged that Philbrook demanded that
both women accompany him to- the sta
tion. Finally he Is accused of having
told Miss Crawford If she would give
him $100 he could "square" the case.
As the.. woman did not have the
requisite amount of cash demanded it
la claimed that Philbrook was willing
w wiiiyiuiuiBQ uu i uiuiiiuiiu ring.
After - much argument Phllhrnntr
agreed to give the women until Wednes
day to raise the blackmail monev. Miss
Crawford the following day notified At
torney iarpiey or tne matter and he
in turn told umer untsmacher the tnrv
captain Brum took personal charge of
the case and waited for several hours
weanesaay nignt in tne rooms for Phil
brook, but he failed to pat in an appear
ance. It la alleged that on Thursdav
he notified Miss Crawford to have the
money ready by Friday night or she
woma nav io go to jaji.
He rerused, however, to come after
the amount, demanding that she send
It to him. AS there did not ennner tn
be any likelihood of catching the fellow
in in i ot taxing ine coin, captain
Bruin and Detective Jones decided to
serve the warrant, which had been se
cured yesterday, and accordingly took
i-nuuroo into custoay about 11 o Clock,
Calls 14 Conspiracy.
When seen in the, city prison this
morning Philbrook declared that the
rewiora woman ana Jaiss Nebethau
were blackmailers and hla arrest was
the result of a conspiracy. T have not
been in Mr.. Vaughn's employ, although
doing; some, stenographic work for him
some time ago," he said. 'I am lh the
reai esiain ousiness ror myself and

Arbltratlony has been, turned down
by the boilermakers' union In its fight
for removal of Foreman Carter of the
Los Angeles shops of the Southern Pa
ciflo company. A member of the Fort
land committee said today:
"There is nothing to arbitrate. We
are making a fight against discrimina
tion, abusive language and mistreatment
oy tne roreman, ana so long aa ne is
there the trouble cannot be settled. All
we ask Is his removal, and the substi
tution of fair treatment of all the men,
and the reinstatement of the men who
were unjustly discharged by Carter,"
The boilermakers say there Is no
question of wages involved, and that
Carter is the sole issue. A similar dif
ference arose between tha Portland
boilermakers and the local shop manage
ment or tne aoutnern i-acirio some years
ago, and was settled by the bringing of
a foreman from southern California,
who has alnce presided over the Port
land boiler shops with entire satisfac
tion to the men. The Portland striking
contingent say It was with consider
able regret that they quit work In sym-

most . of them own homes in Portland
and consider themselves permanent clt
lsens. They declare they have struck
purely on principle, and In remembrance
of the similar trouble which they were
up against in the Portland shops. .
The Southern Pacific company has, it
Is, reported, offered to refer the Los
Angeles trouble .to arbitrators, but the
men are afraid that arbitration would
not result in the removal of Carter and
the reinstatement of their men. They
say they would., rather deal : directly
with H. J. Small, general superintendent
of motive power of the Southern Paciflo
lines. : ' Mr. Small has a reputation
among the men of being an exoention.
