WHITE VOLPS BAND
OF CHINESE BANDITS
DRAWS NEAR NANKIN
Lawlessness on Increase in
Shanghai; Rickshaw Rob
bers Get Foreign Victims,
(United Pre Icaned Wire.)
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. The police were of the opln-

HUNTING MURDER CLUES
Finding of Charred Body of
Otto Raen Indicative of
Crime.
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.

being J. A. 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. I person
ally believe that robbery was the motive."

was killed.
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.
