The Tfllieams Charge That the Anti
wallace Telegram Was Coneocted
IN John Collins' Once.

TACOMA, June l5.-TSpecial.l-It now
transpires that the Griggs-Coslins tele-
gram denouncing Hugh c. Wallace was
concocted at Seattle. The Tiliicums
have information TO the effect that it
was fixed up in Mr.. Collins private office.
After the conference at which plan OF
action was agreed upon, it is said Leroy
Palmer showed the telegram 10 Carroll on
the tram en- route to Tacoma, Honest
Tom" Carroll saying it expressed his
sentiments. CAROLS explanation of how
he took 81 coo of the Griggs-Collins faction
declared he did not approve of the dis
patch denouncing Wallace. is announced
as follows:
took the money - . lawyers fee from his
clients When I got to Washington City l
what my clients desired and In the intsrest of
harmony declared that the dispatch attacking
Wallace was forgery.
Leroy Planners signature has been COM
pared by Michael Dowd with his signature
on the dispatch, to which it is claimed
Dowd's and Dorsey's names were
forged. They are pronounced SINH
lar. In that dispatch Palmer's name
was signed LEROY A. Palmer" and
Dowd's name was spelled with ~" in
stead of 'w." Few persons knew that
Palmer had q middle letter except Palmer.
and, his relatives say, the Tiilicums.
In Washington City it is said that
Finch and Carroll tried to get Wallace to
bury the Ratchet and fixed up q state.
Wallace would have nothing to do with
them, it is said, and informed them that
he had no candidates to push
except those put forward by the state
organization. And that's what he told
Cleveland, it is said, when the Griggs-
Collins dispatch was flashed at him.
That took the wind out Of the sails Of the
opposition.

VICTORIA, Is. c., June 15-Rev. A. r.
Reams will appear in the supreme court
tomorrow, but there is likely to be q
further adjournment. Those who know
state, it is claimed, that the prosecution
has no evidence that would warrant
the surrender Of Reams to Sheriff War
field, of MERGED, Cal. Reams is charged
with abduction, and the abducted girl
states that she is nearly IS years old.
Canadian law places the age Of consent at
16 years. and it is contended that the
Canadian law must apply to the case.
Lucy Rucker is still at the Refugee home,
and Sheriff Warfield and Chief Sheppard
saw her yesterday. No one is allowed to
see her without permission of the chief of
police. Mr.. Yates. the lawyer for Reams,
wanted to see her yesterday. but the ma
tron told him to apply to Chief Sheppard.
Yates went to Chief Justice Bigbee. who
said he could see her 40 often as he
pleased.
A rumor is circulated that Miss Rucker
will so home and give up Reams. Keams'
boy had been carrying letters backward
and forward between his father and Miss
Rucker. and the frequency of the boys
visits attracted attention. with the re-
suit that he has been refused ad-
mittance to the Refugee home.
