HARVARD MEN FLEECED.
q. A. r. Also Worked by Pair Of
Clever Rogues.

1t is learned that money obtained
here by an adventures from gener-
Gus Harvard men has been applied
towards the defense of her husband
on charges of swindling other Har-
ward victims in Chicago. The name
of the man is Edward Robins Howe,
Harvard '64, and by his classmates,
nearly every one of whom has suf-
fered by him, he was familiarly
known as "Ned" Howe. There were
two men by the name of Howe in
the class, but Ned is the one who
has gained the notoriety, and who is
languishing in the Cook county Jail
in Chicago.
1t was at Los Angeles in 1884
that Howe met the woman that the
police of this city are now after, and
married her. His "misfortunes" have
dated since that time. The woman's
right name was Martha E. Stiles,
and she was born in New England
in 1848. After the war was over
she begun her swindling career
beginning with Grand Army posts
She told a romantic and thrilling

ONE BULLET DID THE DEED.

An Associated Press dispatch of
Saturday last from Ardmore, Indian
Ty. says: By the death of Bill Dal-
ton at the hand Of Deputy United
States Marshal Hart today it is be-
lieved the long hunted train robber
has been laid low. The identifca-
ton is complete. His widow is here
under arrest and an Associated Press
correspondent has sent two tele-
grams. The first went to Q. H.
Blivens, l, ,4O7 Van Ness avenue, San
Francisco, and read:
My husband, Bill Dalton is dead.
| Come at once. 1 want his remains sent
home.
The other was addressed to Mrs.
A. L. Dalton, Fisher, and reads:
Bill Dalton dead here. Come at once
| if you wish to see him. Signed,
JENNIE DALTON.
The story of how he was trailed is
as follows: Yesterday afternoon a
desperate character named Wallace,
accompanied by two woman, came to
Ardmore, and, after purchasing 5000
worth of goods, the man went to the
express office and called for a pack
age, which was given to him. He
was arrested on suspicion. The
package was broken into and found
to contain several gallons of whisky.
From these parties it was learned
the whisky was intend for the old
people living near Elk, and from
incautious remarks from the women,
the officers concluded it belonged to
the Daltons and the Long View rob-
bers, who are known to be in til G
neighborhood of Elk.
The man was locked up and a
posse Of United States deputy mar
shals started for the robbers rem.

The Way the Courts Make Full
Pledged Citizens from
Raw Material.
BUT THE LAW SAYS THEY MAY
Judge Speer Calls Their Admis-
sion Next Thing to Crimi-
nal Proceeding.

Judge Speer held an all-nations'
session yesterday, says the Butte
Miner, and admitted to citizenship
12O men not born under the shadow
of the starry banner. They were
there from almost every cline save
China, and although not more than
half of them could speak United
States and fewer still could affix their
signatures to the citizenship docu-
ments, all swore alike to support the
constitution of the United States a.
gainst all corners, and particularly
against the land of their nativity /;
and their witness swore that the ap-
plicants would, Judging by their
past records, be good citizens of the
great republic.
In not all cases, however, were the
applicants successful. Five or six
were rejected and left the courtroom
wearing detected expression on
their countenances. Judge Speer
has a very we'll defined idea of the
elements necessary to make good
American citizen, and on several oc-
caslons gave vent to pent up, indig-
nation at the presumption of some of
the applicants.
"Do you mean to say upon oath,
said he to witness, in reference to
an applicant who could neither read,
write nor speak the English Ian
guage, ''that this man knows what
he is doing when he swears he will
support the constitution of the Uni
ted States? Do you think he knows
what the constitution of this great
republic is?"
ayes, SIR" replied the witness,
who had performed the same office
for a score of Italians.
"Well, administer the oath, Mr.
Clerk" said the judge, with coun,
tenance that betokened disgust
"Swear him in, but | call this almost
next to criminal procedure" The
applicant was sworn, made his little
cross in lieu of his signature and
made way for the next.
The next would-be citizen knew
just two words in the English Ian
guage-"You BETA" After the ad
ministration of the oath Judge Speel
asked:
$50 you want to become citizer
of this country"
"You bet-ta."
"And you promise to support the
constitution of the United States un.
der all circumstances"
"You bet-ta."

"You bet-ta."
} And the applicant was wed to the

The next applicant wore very
anxious expression. He was eagel
to become possessed Of the franchise
but after few questions it wa:
learned that he had not been in Am
erica the required length of time anc
was very much disgusted on being
told that he was not eligible to cit

BEHRING SEA CLAIMS.
Gresham's Award to Great BrftaI
Said to be Excessively LARGE.

Oresham'S Award to Great Britain
Said TO be Excessively Large.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-Secretary of
State Gresham's communication to Con-
gress relative TO paying $425, 900 for Beh-
ring Sea seizure purposes is. occasioninp
much discussion among those who have
oeen giving attention to the subject. Rep
resentatlve Hit of Illinois, who intro
duced the resolution calling for the in
formation, is not yet satisfied that the
Onteu e states should pay the lump sum
OF S4-0,OUO Tor the seizures, as he says the
positive evidence already adduced shows
the same TO be excessively large
Mf dltt points out that the amount
toots up S439O00, which is little more than
the amount OF the proposed compromise,
Ot TINS S459,O0 Mr.. Hit says $357 ,OGO is
tor probable earnings" estimated catch
etc. That is, the ships claim Iarce dam
ages for what they might have earned
hau they not been seized, so that their
claim IS Tor prospective or remote dam
ages, and only portion for damages
actually sustained.
Mr.. Hit says this theory OF prospective
damages was expressly repudiated before
the famous awards commission. 1t was
then held that the United States could
not recover tor what number OF Aneri-
can snIpS have done since they have been
selZed. The commission saws this prece-
dent and others settles the principles of
international law, and that the remote
damages cannot be collected. 1t is also
shown that Of the eighteen ships claim
ing damages ten were American. Some
OF these were flying the British fac
merely for the sake of avoiding detec-
ton.
MIR. Hit urges that it is not for Great
Britain to collect damages to American
ships.
The claims of these American ships are
included in the settlement OF the SIS 600,
aithough MI HIT says the United States
should deal with its own shius i'm its own
way, and not through Great Britain as an
Intermediary. After deducting the S357.-
700 damages for probable earnings" and
1urther deducting the claims OF the ten
American ships, Mr.. Hit holds that there
is very little left of the original claim
and that $40, 900 is far in excess OF what
II ought To be.

PORT TOWNSEND, Dec. 23.-The bark
Southern Chief, from Tacoma for Ade-
laide, Australia, succumbed to the fury
of last Wednesdays storm. She went to
pieces and was abandoned fiftytwo miles
southwest of Cape Flattery. Her Captain,
W. Plumb, formerly of the late James
Cheston, and her crew of fifteen persons
all told were taken off the sinking vessel
Friday morning by the barkentine Ska
git and brought TO this port.
An unknown ship previously passed
the Southern Chief and refused to heed
her signals of distress. Only one sea-
man was injured, having his leg jammed
by lumber. The Chief ran into the gale
early Thursday morning, which, together
with cross seas, opened up seams in the
vessel and she quickly became water
logged. Over $4,000 feet of lumber was
jettisoned when her stern quarters were
carried away. A heavy sea was sweep
ing her decks fore and aft when the Ska
git came along and rescued the crew.
The vessel was valued at 1900, and her
cargo cost 900 and is fully insured.
The revenue cutter Grant, which was
ordered to go out in search for overdue
vessels, sailed tonight. She will prob
ably be gone two weeks.
The barkentine Skagit, which arrived
to-day, twenty days from San Pedro, re-
ports making a big semi-circle on the
voyage to Cape Flattery, and did not en-
counter any unusually stormy weather,
and neither did she sight any vessels in
distress, which would seem to dispel the
idea that the missing vessels had got out
to the westward, and were heading in to-
ward shore.

Ia
and Then Skips Ont.
SEATTLE, Dec. 23.-An alleged EN- bez-
Zler from one OF the oldest banks in
Bloomington, Ill, has been run down by
an Allan Pinkerton agency detective
here, but the latter suddenly disappeared
after he became friendly with the alleged
EN- mbeZzler, without even giving the lat
ter's name. The detective gave his name
on arriving in this city two weeks ago as
j. NJ. Brooks, but told certain people that
his name was William Bell. he was
very anxious to have it understood that
he was not working for the Pinkerton
brothers detective agency.
According TO his story, one of the oldest
and most trusted employees of a Bloom
jngton, H., bank. which is branch Of a
Chicago institution, asked for vacation
and went TO 1ankton, 5. D., then asked
for an extension of time and came to the
coast. His books were exported. and it
was found he was S37, 600 short. The case
was put in the hand of the Allan Pinker-
ton agency, and Brooks started out to
run his man down. He trailed him to
Kansas City, Ogden, Butte, Portland, Or,
and hnally 10 Seattle, where he was liv
ing under the name OF Walker.
Brooks after arriving here claimed to
locate his man and get confession from
him that he had Sl7,0 sewed in the lin
ing OF his coat. He said he did not want
TO return, but would settle if the bank
would give $4,000 that was owed to him.
EXtraditlOn papers were made out, but
the matter was kept from the police be-
cause of the danger of their arresting the
man and spelling the chance of recov-
cry of the money. Suddenly the detec-
tive became friendly with the alleged en-
bezzler and commenced avoiding the
attorney. Then he became involved with
a fair siren named Lillian and alter a trip
into the woods. osrensibly for deer
hunt, he took a train for San Francisco,
aud the next day Lillian left for that city
by steamer. SO far as can be learned
nothing has been done to settle the affair
with the bank. Brooks never let anyone
see the alleged embezzler, so it is not
known who and where he is.

TERRITORY OF ALASKA.
Congress VIII Endeavor to Proyf,
New Laws for It's Governmaut

Congress VIII Endeavor to Provide
New Laws for Its Government
WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-It is under
stood that Congress will later in the
present session make an effort to provide
code of laws for the government of
Alaska, which is 10 be submitted as the
result of inspection made of the Alaskan
country last summer by Assistant Secre-
tary Hamlin and Mr.. Joseph, inspector
of salmon fisheries. These gentlemen
gave special attention to the seal fisher
les and will of course dwell upon this
feature especially in their report, but
they will also commend changes in the
and the mainland as well, covering all
the subjects connected with the govern
ment of the Territory.
Inc oregon laws are at present in force
In Alaska and have been ever since The
organization OF the Territory. They are
in many instances lily adapted to the
local conditions prevailing in Alaska,
and even where they are fairly satisfied
the means of administering them are so
inefficient as to have caused very serious
complaint In the past on the part of the
persons affected. Hence, besides recon-
mending laws for the government of the
seal catch and others looking TO the pre-
vention of the destruction of the
salmon interests, Messrs. Hamlin and
Murray will in all probability rec
ommend timber laws, new land, mining,
customs and school laws. There will also
probably be recommendation that three
or four judicial districts be created to
take the place of the present system,
which is comprised in one district. The
report embodying their recommends
tions Is now in course of preparation,
and will be submitted to Congress as
early in the session after the holidays as
possible, in the hope that there may be
time left for Congressional action. 1t is
believed that the report will take strong
grounds for fixing the next years sealing
catch at lower limit than that of last
year.
