TOM JONES FACES SERIOUS CHARGES Tom James was arrested this morning by Officer White on suspicion of being the principal in the robbery of the house of Mrs. HuntMuigh at 113 South Thirteenth street this morning about 9 o'clock and also of an attempt to com mit rape on the person of an 8-year-old girl of Mr. and Mrs. Martin. About 9 o'clock this morning the nouse or Mrs. Kambaugh was entered and $5 in gold and $1 in silver taken from a box in which she kept her pa pers, receipts, etc. John Denny, who works at the cannery, and who boards with Mrs. Rumbaugh, had a suitcase broken open and $22.07 taken. There was $3.05 in the suitcase, which was overlooked. Mrs. Rumbaugh told Officer White that she stepped out of the house and went to the confectionery located in the O. K. rooming house and that when she returned the robbery had been com mitted. On account of the fact that Tom James had been requested to leave the boarding house, where he had been staying for about three weeks, because of his attempt to commit the crime against the Martin girl, Mrs. Rumbaugh is of the belief that he robbed the house out of a spirit of revenge. She told the officer that when faced with fhe accusation of tho attempt against the girl, James threatened to put a bullet through some of them. James' mother lives at 470 South Fourteenth street. When Officer White met James on State street this morning he tapped him on the bhoulder and told him he was under arrest. "All right," James re plied, and accompanied the officer for several blocks.

Seattle, Wash., July 9. Death will claim Lieutenant Porte and companion as new victims of aviation on their at tempted flight across the Atlantic in the hydro-aeroplane America, predicts Jack Irwin, stationed in Seattle as su perintendent of the northern division of the Marconi wireless. Irwin was wireless operator with Walter Wellman 'a ill-fated expedition on tho airship America which was wrecked by hurricane 1008 miles at sea on the start of a trans-Atlantic flight. "I don't believe there' is a gns en gine mado that will stand the strain of such a long flight," snid Irwin. "Lieutenant Porte's engines will have to run under a tremendous load for about 25 continuous hours. The hope of such a flight is in tho engine. "Some day when a moro reliable en gine is made tho trans-Atlantic trip will be possible. Lieutenant Porto is taking greater chances with his life than we did aboard the old America. The Atlantic is very fickle. If he should have to land on rough wnter I would not envy him his predicament. However, my good wishes nnd admira tion will go with him."

" - - - - V The president fels, it was added, that "big business" has accepted his anti-trust scheme without putting ob stacles in its way and as a result ho is considering certain changes in tho pending bills, which without altering them fundamentally, will eliminate some of tho hardships incidental to their enforcement after they have been enacted. TROUBLE CERTAIN TO COME IN STOCKTON Stockton, Cal., July 9. Although the employes in many of the various in dustries of Stockton have been told that henceforth the open shop would prevail, men are out only in the planing mills, one lumber yard and two barber shops. The union men say tho declaration for open shop is not suf ficient to force them out, but that they will go out when the employers com pel them to do so by enfieavoring to piaee non-union men alongside thnm. The situation remains tense aud de velopments are hourly expeetod. J. Truo Woods, vice-president of tho State Building Trades Council, made the following statement this morning. "A great many neonlo cxnected that all our men would be thrown on the streets yesterday by tho declaration of the employers that henceforth their ; business would bo conducted on the; open shop basis. Our men will remain! at work until the employers by some acti violate the rules of unionism. Theyj may do this by attempting to place j non-union men at work with our men, by attempting to force us to handle un-! stamped material or by breaking our rules in some other way. Oi r men will not warn out simply because ail cm-i p oyer says he is running an open shop. It is not our policy to create industrial warfare. This thing is up to tho M. M.I and E. ami if our men go out it will be a lockout not a walkout." I Two barber shops have declared for' tho open shop the Syndicate, In the' Hotel Stockton, and J.'.M. Hart's shop,! in the basement of tho San Joaquin Valley Hunk building. " Ijist night a number of the master barbers ami tho journeymen met joint-i lv and the master barbers decided toi continue union shops," said II. II. ! Grow, secretary of the barbers' union,; today. "The barbers are not seeking trouble. They want no radicalism. The journeymen want the bosses to make a living anil the bosses feel the same way! about the men. If the same spirit j which exists between the bosses and; the journeymen iu the barber trade ex-j isted in other lines there would "c no trouble.'' L. S. Calkins, secretary of the M.
