OF ASSAULT
BY SOLDIER
Colored Infantryman Breaks Down
and Admits That He Attacked
White Woman at Fort Lawfon
Serious Disorders Threatened Fol
lowing Refusal to Order Removal
SEATTLE, Wash., Juno 8. -Nathaniel
DIcdser, private In the Twenty-fifth
(colored) Infantry, after re
peatedly denying his guilt, finally
broke down u;der cross-examination
today and county officials allege con
fessed his attack on Mrs. J. W. Red
ding at her home near Fort Lawton
last Saturday night.
"I was drunk and reckless I yuess,"
was his only excuse. He said that,
with another soldier, had decided to
desert. With a corporal they went to
a saloon about a mile from the fort,
where Bledser drank four 'cans of
beer. They went from there to a
chicken ranch owned by a negro nam
ed Mason and thcro gave the corporal
tho "slip."
On their way to a street car they
passed the Redding home and saw
Mrs. Redding. The attack followed,
according to the alleged confession.
They afterwards boarded a street car
and spent tho remainder of the eve
ning in the tenderloin district, return
ing to tho fort about 11 o'clock.
Bledser'3 alleged confession was
made to Captain of Detectives Ten
nant In the presence of other police
officers and newspaper men.
Serious disorder Is threatened In
tho vicinity ot tho fort following the
refusal of President Taft to order the
removal of the Twenty-fifth from Fort
Lawton.
It Is probable that tho police force
In tho district will bo increased In an
ticipation of trouble, although It Is
admitted that policing tho district
will not prove much of a preventa
tive, owing to the fact that the coun
try Is heavily wooded and poorly
ilshted.

MILLIONS
BY PANIC
Fortunes Made on Wall Street as Um
Result of Market Manipulation
Accompanying Government's Raw
With Railroads Over Advanced
Rates Professionals Suffer.
NEW YORK, Juno 8. Somtchuiff
over a hundred million in "papet
profits" is declared to havo beea
made on Wall street as a result ol
the market manipulations accom
panying tho government's row with
tho railroads over advanced rates.
Tho Wall street brokers and profes
sional traders, it is declared, suf
fered the losses, the manipulation
having come from outside sources.
A week ago stocks, and especially
railroads, slumped suddenly. A semi
panic followed a mysterious Wash
ington "tip" which caused heavy sell
ing of railroad stocks just before the
ITannibnl injunction suit was Tiled.
Before the brokers realized just what
was happening, stocks had tumbled.
Monday another mysterious tip went
round, declaring thnt President Taft
and the representatives of the west
ern railroads had failed to reach, an
agreement. Railroads were again
sold iff and outsiders bought then
at regular bargain-counter prices.
Tuesday the market steadied, rail
roads went up at a jump and pro
fessional traders bought back stocks
they had thrown over on the slump.
The prices at which they were re
bought ranged from 3 to 8 points'
higher than the price at which they
sold.
It is declared that the traders wha
manipulated the market on the
Washington tip nnd sold with the
slump u week ago, rebought oil the
second slump Monday, catching the
professional traders both ways.
