THE MURDER OF NARAMORE
E. Ford Believes the Cummings
Boys Did It
THEIR EXPLANATION WEAK
A Peculiar Way to Hold Up and Rob
Men
Fragile Points in the Statements Of the
Cummings Brothers---They Are Be-
Iieved to Be Alone In the Crime

f. Ford, the son-in-law of 7. G. Nara
more, returned from Riverside early yes
terday morning, where he had been IN
vestigatng the murder of Mr.. Naramore
last Saturday night. From an interview
with Mr.. Ford yesterday it will be seen
that the story of the Cummings. the al
legd murderers. is decidedly tishy.
Mr.. Ford visited the cabin where the
tragedy was enacted, but made no close
inspection of the place. He did not see
any OF the prisoners either.
Mr. Ford asserts that the general opin-
ion in Riverside is that the Cum-, ings
boys are alone concerned in the murder,
and that while the evidence thus far is
only circumstantal. they will probably
be held TO answer in the superior court.
He says that botn of the Cummings are
OF adventurous, reckless character. and
not the sort that would have been likely
to give up so promptly as John Cum
mngs says he did. Caesar Cummings
and the Mexican say they went to River
side the early part of the evening and did
not return until IL O'Clock that Eight.
They found Naramore and Cummings
bound snd gagged, lying on the floor.
John Cummings. the younger brother,
anu tHc CldlIuS lHu1 Ac wv
deceased were sitting in the cabin when
the door was thrown open and two
masked men ordered them to hold up
their hands. One Qf the robbers, he
asserts, pointed brace of revolyers at
them, while the other was armed with a
club. Cummings said he did as asked,
but that Naramore showed fight. The
man with the club grappled with the lat
ter, while the other walked up to Cum
mings, pulled his hands down. and tied
them. paying no attention in the III can
while to whether or not his partner was
getting the better of Naramore.
.Just what the first man did with his
pistols while he was securing Cummings
the latter does not state. 1t is decidedly
unlikely. however that he would lay
them aside in order to tie Cummings
while the outcome of the fight between
his partner and Naramore was uncer-
tain.
Mr. Ford is positive that il the Cum
mings had no connection with the MUIR
der he would not quietly have submitted
and allowed Naramore to have been
murdered. Cummings Is many is not
afraid to face gun and has repeatedly
engaged in fights with !, big odds against
him, and that his nerve should have left
him Saturday night is very strange.
In regard to his being tied there are no
marks to show this to have been true.
Naramore was bound before he died,
and III all probability murdered as he lay
helpless. 1t is not by any means certain
that Naramore was killed while Caesar

IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION
Important Meeting Held at Bouttier Hall
Yesterday Evening
Selection Of Committeemen-The Regarding of
Bellevue Avenue Considered North
Main Street to Be Strengthened

The regular weekly meeting of the
Northwest Improveme Association was
held at Bouttier hall yesterday evening.
After the routine Of roll call, payment
of assessments and reading of minutes,
announcements were made of the men,
bers of the different committees as fol-
lows: Committee on streets. j. Mills
Davies chairman; X. S. SERVER, W. A.
Stratton. }. A. Craig and NJ. NJ. Giles
pie committee on .trest railways. J. A.
Craig, chairman, J. Mills Davies, J. &.
Harvey. and b. W. Bartels.
Then came the reports OF committees.
W. A. Slaughter reporting the action taken
in constructing new schoolhouses, and
urging that the matter be pushed as rap
idlv as possible.
Thomas Kelly made report for the
com mmittee on parks and boulevards in
which he stated that the council was
perfecting plans for the erection of Il
boathouse and public baths at Echo park,
and would soon take steps toward con-
demping road on the west side of the
lake for distance of 800 feet, which will
virtually be an extension of Lakeshore
avenue.
The chairman of the committee on
streets presented drawing, furnished by
Councilman Snyder, showing the projec-
ton of buildings on North Main street
opposite the plaza, into the street. The
two buildings thus extending into the
street are the Catholic church and a brick
building now used as q saloon. The lat
ter projects nine feet into the sidewalk
and the former distance of three feet
and half. The property is owned by In
dividuals and will therefore have TO be
purchased by the city before the street
can be Strengthened. The following gen
temen were appointed to confer with the
owners of the property in question in
order that an intelligent basis might be
formed for future action in the matter OF
Strengthening the street at that point.
discussion upon the question of re-
grading Bellevue avenue brought out
many pointed remarks regarding the de-
lays experienced in getting business
through the city hall, owing to tht H.
adequate number of clerks in .he super
intendenG of street office. A motion was
carried to the effect that Councilman
Snyder be requested to push the Bellevue
avenue project, and if necessary take
some steps toward increasing the clerical
force in the street superintendent's office.
Thomas Kelly was appointed to prose-
cute regarding OF Bellevue avenue and,
according TO suggestion made by him
self, to arrange through the council to
have permission granted to the grading
contractors whereby they might avail
themselves Of surplus dirt and gravel on
the North Hill street cut for the purpose
of filling in on Bellevue avenue.
J. A. Craig spoke briefly on the work
of the association. and the meeting ad
lourned until next Tuesday evening.

the government for the purpose of sup

position leader, declared that brlgandage
no longer existed in Bulgaria, and Pre-
mier Stilotf asked for this money for the
purpose of establishing system of po-

the supporters of the government strong

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Less than 20
senators were In their seats today when
Vice President Stevenson called the SEN
ate to order. Mr.. Lodge (republican) of
Massachusetts addressed the senate upon
the resolution Of inquiry as to why the
United States warships have been with
drawn from Honolulu. Mr.. Lodge said
''At the beginning of the session resolu-
tion was introduced asking for the reports
and correspondence of Admiral Walker
in regard to Hawaii. Admiral Walkers
papers were, as l had antici pated, most
valuable on these points. They showed
that to disinterested observer, actuated
by no motive but the interest of the
United States. it was perfectly clear our
true policy was the annexation of these
islands, They confirmed in this way the
view expressed by the senate IN resolu-
tion last summer, and which I belive are
the views held by substantially all Amer
leans except those concerned in the
present administration. All this was
valuable information, but Admiral Walk
er's last letter brought out strongly a
highly important point, which had thus
far not been appreciated. 1t was known
to the United States through the press
that all of our warship5 had been with
drawn from Hawaii, and although several
were lying idle at Mare Island none had
been sent back to Honolulu. The letter
of a dmlral " WaIker discloses in astrlkine
way the danger and impolicy of this
course and also proves that our govern
ment has been warned in regard to it by
an officer entitled to speak of such point
with the authority of an expert. Ad
miral Walker says, with frankness, that
if the British men-of-war as we'll as
our own had been Withdrawn it might
have been good thing; certainlyit woulc
have done no harm to stability in the
island" He then referred to the manner
in which England reached out to increase
her possessions and asserted that Brit
ish ship encouraged the Hawaiian royal
lists, while the absence of an American
vessel gave encouragement to counter
revolution. He also referred to the fac
that japan had warship at Hawaii.

mine at Olyphant, near here, last night
were Frank Bennie, the engineer at the
foot of the air shaft; Patrick Brennan,

At $50 Engineer Bennie found the

flames. 1t was impossible to extinguish
them, as he saw at "a glance. The engi-
neer warned the thirteen miners. The
men FASTENED toward the air shaft
Dense volumes of smoke told them
their effort would be unavailng.
They turned backward toward the
furthermost workings of the mine, where
there was every possibility of the air
remaining pure for some time, and when
all had come together again they devised
a plan TO barricade the gangway by
erecting board wall and banking it up
with COB and culm, plenty of which was
at hand in that part of the workings.
They quickly had the material in place
and their work proved substantial,
The fire was discovered at 1920 o'clock
