San Francisco, July 14. Detectives today are searching every corner of the city for Peter Claudlnnes, a Greek aged 21, who Is implicated In the dy namltlng of the houses of James Gal lagher, the chief witness of the graft prosecution, by a remarkable confes sion made by his brother John, who says he himself actually exploded the charges of dynamite. His confession was made Saturday night, but was guarded in the hope of catching Peter, who John accuses of making the deal with the othe people to kill Gallagher for money, He says he was to receive 95000 as his share of the blood money, but he did not get It and that is the reason he confessed. He went over the ground with Dis trict Attorney Langdon In Oakland, pointed to the caches where they had hidden the dynamite before the ex plosion. "We used 30 pounds of dynamite for this Job," said the Greek, pointing to the wrecked vestibule of the Gal lagher home. He then went to the scene of the other explosion on Perkins and Bel mont streets, where three empty houses belonging to Gallagher, were blown up. "We used SO pounds of dynamite here," he said. He declared that after falling to kill Gallagher they decided to destroy his property. He said they bought their dynamite In Arizona and that he got 110 dally for watching the house in Oakland. The prisoner was trapped through a letter written by him to his brother In Chlnco, Cal., threatening to expose the plot unless the money was for warded. WOULD-BE Sl'ICIDK SPANKED.

T Reservation Lands Once More Cause Squabble in Courts of County, FILING OF SLIT BE- VEAUS CONTUOVEBSY Secretary of Interior James A. Gar field, Commissioner of Indian Af fair h I'runcis E. IjCiipp, Indian Agent McFutrldge, President Pen rose of Whitman College, George and Boy Perringer and Marlon F. Jack Are l'rincipul-t In interesting Story Alleged Tlwt Perrlngcrg Try to Hold Too Much Lund. Can George Perringer rent more than 640 acres of reservation land when the government forbids others from doing so? Has the government the right to direct that' Roy Perringer may har vest a wheat crop on Indian land that has been leased to Marion Jack? These are questions that are rais ed In a suit that was filed here late yesterday afternoon In which the title is Marion Jack versus A. E. McFat ridge, U. S. Indian agent, and Roy V. Perringer. In the complaint, which was filed by Attorneys Raley, Rich ards & Raley, the court was asked to issue an order restraining the Per rlngers ;rom harvesting the crop in volved a id the Injunction was grant ed. a On th : face of it the suit Just brought Iocs not seem of great Im portance for It pertains merely to a crop oiri acres or iana ana ji is valued at but $2500. But back of the complaint lies another story that Is one of intense Interest to parties having business on the reservation. This interest is heightened by the fact that some big characters, among them the honorable secretary of the in terior, figure In the story. McFatridge Was Upheld. It is needless to recall that the government places 640 acres as the limit of Indian land that may be leased by one party for most people found it out long ago. But seemingly the government's policy is only now being effectively made known to George Perringer. According to reports that have beei. current here for many weeks, Major McFatridge, agent on the reservation. has striven hard to enforce the gov ernment's ruling against all without fear or favor. But In the past he Is said to have found his plans blocked and not until Commissioner Leupp and Secretary Garfield personally vis ited the reservation did he "win out" completely. In the case filed yesterday Marion Jack Fets forth that he had legally eased 160 acres of land on the res ervation, paying $3 per acre therefor last fall. But despite the fact that he held a lease he asserts that the gov ernment, through Agent McFatridge; but recently notified him that Roy V. Perringer might go upon the land for the purpose of harvesting the growing crop thereon. President Penrose Participated. This seeming Inconsistency on the part of the government is explained as follows: Major McFatridge regu larly approved the lease to Marlon Jack who had offered a greater price for the land than had Perringer. But In an effort to override the agent rerringer is said to have enlisted the support of President Penrose of Whit man college, who was a classmate of Secretary Garfield. According to re ports President Penrose Importuned the secretary and doubtless with the best of motives, to direct that the land be given to Roy V. Perringer, who was a student at Whitman. 'While full particulars are lacking, it Is apparent that the Influence of his former classmate had effect with the popular secretary, for the order favoring Perringer was forthcoming. Garfield Ijeamcd Something. But the visit of Secretary Garfield Is said to have altered that gentle man's mind concerning affairs and he is said to have suggested that Perringer and Jack settle their dif ferences by compromise. The "Show Down" Is Here. Yesterday afternoon the parties In the case were busy with their "com promise" when word was received by Jack that a Perringer combine had entered the field Involved to cut the crop. Apparently a coup d'etat had been planned. But the other side was ready for the emergency. Within a half hour after the startling news was received here N. C. Richards filed the suit and Judge Bean granted the restraining order asked for. Shortly after 6 o'clock a man from the sheriffs of fice proceeded to the seat of war and served the order upon the men run ning the combine. So the "show down" Is at hand and It will be up to the courts to say who has the right to the crop 1 that I.s now ready for harvest on the land Involved. But this is but an Incidental mat ter, 'so the supporters of Major Mc Fatridge say. According to them the important point is that the agent has been upheld by both Messrs. Leupp and Garfield and that henceforth he will be "In charge" at the agency and that all men will look alike to Uncle Sam. Boy Peiingers Side of the Story. This afternoon Roy Perlnger, the young man involved In the ownership of the leases In question, stated his side of the reservation matter, as fol lows: "One of the alleged questions in volved In the law suit Just started, as stated by the opposition, is 'can Geo. Peringer rent more than 640 acres of land upon the reservation?' "Such a question has nothing'what ever to do with this suit. The only question Is, 'Has the secretary of the Interior authority to modify a lease made between Indian lessors and their lessees?' "The secretary, after carefully con sidering the whole case In conjunc-; tion with his first assistant, Mr. Pierce, an able lawyer from Salt Lake city, decided that I was entitled to some equitable consideration and af- .

SOFT DRINK PARLORS IKE ENEMIES "If the soft drink houses of this city where near beer and other of the alleged temperance' drinks are sold, will forbid children and especially half-grown boys, from patronizing their places and refuse to sell these drinks to he boys, they will make a hit with the people of Umatilla coun ty and will perhaps prolong the life of the soft drink parlor indefinitely," said a prominent member of the. law enforcement league to the East Ore gonlan this morning.
