Shanghai, Feb. 27. White Wolf, the Chlnei bandit, and hla followers were operating boldly within 100 miles of Nankin today, which meant that they were unpleasantly close to' the foreign settlement in Shanghai Itself. There was no longer any question that the White Wolf's activities had reached revolutionary proportions. Ac cording to the police of (he Interna tional settlement here, rebel agents in Shanghai were cooperating with him, supplying him with funds and smug gling anna to his men. The settlement authorities have fought hard to prevent, their conces slons from becoming the center for a revolutionary propaganda but the agents. of the movement were said to have established themselves as small shopkeepers generally and to have cov ered their tracks so skillfully that the foreign officials have been completely tarried. Important Men Involved. The Imperial government at Peking recently supplied the settlement's municipal council with a list of the more .important men charged with corrfpllclty in the campaign and at its head were the names of such well known personages as ex-President Sun V,t Sen and Genera Huang Hsitfg Cben, General Chen Hi-Mel and Gen eral IIo-IIai-Mlng. White Wolf professes. In fact' to hold a commission from General Huang as tutuh, or governor, of Honan prov Ince. It was here that he first took the field, but with the Increase In the number of his followers and backed by the revolutionists, he branched out on a larger scale and Is now terroriz ing the richer and more populous prov ince of Anhwel, Just north of here. A conHlderable number of foreigners mostly niisHlonarles, but with a few traders among them, live in Anhwel province, and serioun fear were felt for their safety. Indeed, Father Rich A Krenii Lutnniic missionary,, was killed recently at the sacking by the White Wolves of the town of Liuan t!how, though whetlipr he was mur dered or fell accidentally was not known. Shanghai Itself Is Lawless. In Shanghai itself outlawry has been rampant for some time. Ordinarily the foreign police hove the settlement situation well in hand, hut of late highway robberies, burglaries and as sassinations have been alarmingly fre quent. The murder victims have generally been Chinese, hut a short time ago Mrs. Richard Neumann, wife of a rich German business mnn, was killed in her own home during the absence of her husband, who Was 111 at the set tlement hospital. jind horribly man gled with a cleaver,, supposedly in th hands of a Chinese. After she had been killed the house was looted o valuables estimated ' as worth $10,0.00 Kickshaw Bandits Abound. One criminal organization, the heads of which the police have been unable to locate, has kept large numbers of rickshaws in the streets at night, pick ing up customers, whom the rickshaw coolies take to remote places, where outlaw gangs rob and frequently as sault them. Many sailors, on shore leave, have been victimised In this way. Rumors were current that the revo lutionists were planning a series of asassinatlons of government officials, ' and bomb throwers were said to be actually on the lookout for opportuni ties to remove a number of such indi viduals already. It was considered cer tain that President Kuan must be on this list.

Friends of Otto Raen residing In Portland are doing everything they can to assist the Skamania county officials to get clews which might lead to the discovery of the murderer, who. the evidence shows, first killed 'Raen on the ranch he was running six miles from Prindle and then burned the body in a barn Tuesday night. Raen was well known In Portland, where he worked as a tailor for more than a decade in the employ of Her bert Greenland. The murder was discovered Wednes day when the .body, charred beyond recognition, was found resting on the tops of several crude oil cans. The head, arms and legs were gone. : They had either been Incinerated or cut off me trunK Dei ore tne Darn in wnicn the body had been placed was fired. Every Indication points to a brutal murder and the officers are of the opinion that the murderer was well ac qualnted with Raen's habits and knew the surrounding country well. The fact that Raen's trunk and cloth lng were found outside, it Is said. Indi cates that the murderer hoped to hide his crime by leaving evidence that would lead people to believe that Raen had attempted to save his goods and then accidentally fell victim to the flames. This necessitated firing of the ranch house and the barn and chicken house and an incubator shed, all of which were destroyed. The crude oil cans were carried by the murderer from either the cellar or the Incubator shed. Raen resided In Portland until about two years ago, when he went to work on the ranch, which is owned by J. U. Steman of this city. He was 03 years of age, single, and a man who was not apt to enter Into a quarrel. There Is no aoDarent motive for the crime, al though the robbery theory is Deing given some consideration.

Norman, a cutter employed by Mr. Greenland and a friend of Raen's of 20 years' standing. "The vidence shows that Mr. Raen was murdered some time ' Tuesday night before bedtime, in, his house." said Mr. Norman. "Afterward the body apparently was dragged into the barn and placed on the crudie oil cans which had been carried from one of the other buildings where they were stored. Then the house, barn and Incu bator buildings were fired.

RABIES SPREADS IN BAKER CO. ANIMALS Baker, Or., Feb. 27. County stock inspector. Dr. F. T. Notz, will make an effort to have the state livestock sani tary board declare a quarantine on dogs in Baker county in view of the fact that the hydrophobia situation is assuming a serious aspect in some of the rural communities. In the city, the muzzle ordinance has successfully prevented spread of the disease, but in several sections of the county the conditions are getting worse. This is largely due to failure to burn or bury f-art-nsses of animals affected with rabies and killed. Coyotes are believed to be responsible for spreading the disease, which is effecting all kinds of domestic animais. Two children were bitten by a dog at Huntington yesterday. Investiga tion shows the animal was lnrectea with rabies. The children will brought to the local hospital, where the Pas teur treatment will be administered.
