MURDER
PRISONER TAKEN A
RID NOT
VERY SURE
Professes to Believe That
Mistake 31 ay Have Been
Made and Wrong1 Man
Taken Into Custody
More Sleuths Added.
By C. S. Hogue.
Baker City, Or., Oct. 5. One of
the men suspected of having as
sassinated Harvey Brown vas ar
rested at Union, Oregon, last night
and brought to the Baker county
Jail here this morning by Sheriff Ed
Rand.
The prisoner refuses to give his
name, but answers (he description
of one of the dynamiters who killed
the ex-sheriff. The authorities
profess ignorance of their man's
identity, but it is reported that he
is a well known "gentleman" from
Cripple Creek.
Nearly six feet in height, with
light red hair and a sandy red
mustache, dressed in dirty blue
jeans, overalls and a black coat, the
prisoner is a hard-looking character.
He swings his arms when he walks
and wears an air of bravado which
strengthens the conviction that he
Is a hardened criminal.
Sheriff Rand professes to believe
they have captured the wrong man
and that their prisoner will be lib
erated within a few hours. It is
learned, however, that detectives are
working on the theory that the gang
of assassins have started to separate
and are making their escape from
this city one by one, to divert sus
picion. One of the most astute officers
connected with the case stated this
morning that he did not believe the
principals In the assassination were
here today, although they might
have left and doubtless did leave
spies to take care of their Inter
ests. The prisoner was trailed from
this city and was making his escape
when caught.
Sheriff "Shad" Hodgin of Ada county,
Idaho, and his deputy. George Porter,
formerly chief of police of Baker City,
are the iMtest additions to the band of
sleuth who are Keeking: to solve the
mvstery of Harvey Brown's death. The
Jdaho criminal-catchers have Just ar
rived in the city, their coming being
simultaneous with the capture of the
suspect.
None of the officials will admit that
he knows the man who is arrested.
For days spies have been watching the
house of Mrs. Chaa. Klnnison, wlddw
of Chas. Klnnison. who waa president
of the local union at Independence, Col
orado at the time of the dynamite hor-
hor there. Klnnison died at Tonopah,
Nevada,
ago. J, ant mi
ght
sleuths near the Klnnison home allege
they saw a man about the place who
was acting mysteriously.
Two different camps are being main
tained by the assassins of Harvey
Brown. Detectives who have suspects
under surveillance discovered this fact
late last night. While a portion of the
force were on pieicei auiy near me
depot they learned how messages were
being exchanged
between the two
ca m ns.
First a suspicious-looking man
slouched Into the station platform. He
slunk up to the depot mall box, and;
after hastily glancing around to see
whether he was observed, left a note
on top of the box. Then, as though
fearing detection, he turned and hur
ried ranidly away, lust as a woman

It will be impossible to tell when the

Efforts to Brag Craft

(Sp-li1 l)lptct to The Joarnsl.l
Tillamook. Ore.. Oct. 5 The ti
masted gchoner Antelope went ashore
here yesterday and will probably be a
total loss, although her lumber cargo
might be saved In part. The craft was
outward bound in tow of the tug Chaa.
R. Vosburg, when she was caught in
some tremendous breakers and tossed
upon the beach. All hands were saved.
The Antelope returned from Portland
few days ago after having discharged
cargo of lumber there and was going
orth again with a second cargo when
disaster overtook her. It was stormy
when the tow started for the sea and
pon reaching the bar It was discovered
too risky to try to stand out for open
water. in turning about to run ror
shelter the schooner got beyond control
of the tug and plied up on the beach.
At first it was believed that she could
be pulled off but all efforts have proved
unavailing so far and it Is feared that
she will remain a wreck for good this
time.
The Antelope was built In lienlcla,
Cal., in 1887 but belongs to Astoria,
Ore. She registered 117 tons net and
was capable of carrying 300,000 feet of
lumber In which trade she has been
engaged almost constantly. She has
been aground and ashore several times
before but not in as dangerous position
as this before. Exposed to the sea the
waves will likely pound her to pieces
soon.
The tug Vosburg is owned by the
Wheeler Lumber Company at whose
mill the Antelope had secured her cargo.

Washington, Oct. b. Secretary Straua
of the Department of Commerce and La
bor and Frank P. Sargent, commissioner
of Immigration, have determined to ellm-
nate the "white slave" traffic from the
'nlted States If possible. On his recent
trip through the northwestern and Pa
clflc coast states, Secretary Straus' at
tentlon waa directed to the increasing
mportatlon of women for Immoral pur
poses. The Japanese and Corean Ex
clusion league Informed him that hun
dreds of Japanes women were being
brought to America surreptitiously and
held In practical slavery and sold by
neir importers.
Investigation Ordered.
Secretary Straus ordered a rigid in-
estlgatlon and It was discovered that
the "white slave" traffic was far more
widespread than had been suspected. In
volving the importation Into America,
not only of Japanese women, but of
women from France, Austria and Italy.
It !s proposed to have careful Inauirv
nstltuted in all of the large cities par-
ilarly. and a round-up of all Immoral
women will be made. Those who have
not been In the country three years and
are found to have been brought here II-
egally, will be arrested and subseauent-
ly deported.
Srldeno Will B Secured.
Before they are returned to their na
tive lands, however, they will be re
quired to furnish evidence against those
who Drought them hern, and prosecu
tions will be begun against those respon
sible for the traffic. It Is proposed to
make examples of such men and women
by sending them to prison.

FILES MOTION TO
MODIFY SENTENCE
Attorneys for Franklin P.
Mays Ask Abrogation of
Imprisonment Clause.
Franklin P. Mays, sentenced to pay
a fine of $10,000 and serve four months
n the Multnomah county Jail by the
federal court on May 3 last, hns filed
a motion for a modification of the sen
tence and asks that the imprisonment
clause of the sentence be abrogated.
The motion will be heard by Judge Hunt
November 1, or at such time as he may
direct, such an order having been made
by Judge Wolverton this morning.
The motion was filed in the United
States district court this morning by
William D. Fenton and V. Lair Hill on
behalf of Mr. Mays, and was accom
panied bv nn affidavit made by Dr. W.
T. Williamson testifying to the phys-i
leal condition of the defendant. An af
fidavit was also filed by Mrs. Mays set
ting out the condition of her husband,
both mentally and physically.
It Is alleged by both Mrs. Mays and
by Dr. Williamson that Mr. Mays la in
very poor - health both mentally and
physiclally. According to the affidavits
Fie is unable to bear any continued men
tal strain or physical burden without
confusion of ideas and bodily distress.
It is given as the sworn opinion of
both the wife and of the physician that
a term of Imprisonment would be of
Rieat danger to the defendant, and
might in all probability result In his
death. According to Dr. Williamson
such imprisonment would at least great
ly retard the recovery ot Mr. Mays.
United States Attorney Bristol op
posed the consideration of the motion
and contended that It would Interfere
with the appeal which may be filed
within a short time. The defendant was
given until November 1 In which to per
fect an appeal, but so far has taken no
steps In that direction, and H Is the
opinion of Mr. Bristn: that the consid
eration of the motion to modify would
delay this appeal, nnd therefore put off
stilt more Indefinitely the satisfaction
of the sentence.
Judge Wolverton In considering the
motion ordered that It be set for con
sideration November 1. as that would
allow the arguments to be heard by
Judge Hunt, who presided at the trial,
and is therefore familiar with the con
ditions of the case.
