He Is Accused of Embedding Funds
Placed in His Control by
Mrs. Loyez.

PORTLAND, o., Jan. 9TH. F. Tyson,
the French Consul here, was this after
noon visited in his Office by Mrs Louise
Loyez of San Francisco, who, after short
parley, struck him in the face with her
umbrella, effectually draping his eye.
Mrs. Loyez formerly lived here, and
before taking up her residence at the bay
left some property in the custody of Con-
sui Tyson, to be disposed of for cash.
After writing him several times for re-
mittance of the proceeds of its sale and
receiving no answer she came up here
herself yesterday.
Consul Tyson informed tho excitable
woman that he had turned over the money
she claimed to certain bondsmen of hers
in civil suit. At this she became in
furlated and assaulted him.
The Consul caused her arrest for assault
and battery and she informed against him
for larceny by embezzlement. When an
officer read the warrant to the Consul he
Indignantly gave up himself, saying:
"Do you know that 1 am representa-
tive of France and that my person is IN

lean court?"
~ don't care what you represent" re-
piled Constable William Connor. you
are in America now and amenable to the
country's laws. You are an old man, and
l don't want to drag you through the
streets like a criminal. If you'll promise
to appear in court within a half hour I'll
parole you"
Consul Tyson, realizing that he had
taken an untenable position, made ana
kept the exacted promise. His examine

Occurring at Intervals.
CARSON, New, Jan. 27.-There was con-
siderable of shakeup in this city to-day

IN everybody's cupboard, made the win
dows shake and got several lazy people
out of bed. The next was about II O'Clock
aud was also quite sharp. At l o'clock
came the heaviest of all, and it shook every
building in the city. The Capitol building
was particularly well shaken, and inside
OF minute there was rush to the base
ment OF the building to see the record of
the seismograph. 1t had been DETECTED
about an eighth of an inch by each shock
and had also recorded small shocks all
through the day.
The Signal Service records showed very
unsettled barometer. Rapid changes oc-
Cured and their suddenness was unequaled
by anything recorded since last July.
These shocks were all graded as No. 8,
Rosi force scale. There were two others
during the day that graded l and respect
lively. L he first was north and south, the
second east and west and the last three
southwest and northeast. They were
principally vertical.
The jar at o'clock made a large crack
in the side of the Government building
and shook some of the plaster from the
ceiling OF the county building.

been here three weeks and Iectured several
times under the auspices of the local
society.
DR.. Wilder had an appointment for Sun
day evening at the usual time and place,
but she was informed by one of the
trustees that she could no longer speak in
the hall. She was indignant and de-
manded the reason for the peremptory
notice. The trustee answered that they
were not satisfied with her credentials.
The lady pronounces it conspiracy to
ruin her business here.
The action of the trustees has gone the
rounds of the membership, and many
of the members announce their determi-
nation to stand by DR.. Wilder.
A split in the society is almost inevitable
over the matter. DIR. Wilder spoke on the
street in front of the hall and defied the
conspirators 20 close her mouth or drive
her out of town.

SAN JOSE, CAL. Dec. 27.-Judge Lori
gan this morning denied motion for q
new trial of the proceedings instituted by
Louis Mahlke and Alfred Jones to have
their aunt, Hermina Knapp, declared in
competent.
At the death of Christian Freyschlag, a
brother, a couple of years ago Mrs. Knapp
came into the possession of about $50, 600
worth of property. Mrs. Knapp, who is
nearly so years of age, at once decided the
property to John Harold Freyschlag, a
nephew, reserving only $1,000 for herself
and the promise of home the rest of her
life. This dispieased her relatives, and
Jones and Mahlke began proceedings to
have her declared incompetent and a
guardian appointed to look after her in
terests.
At the trial of the case Judge Loriean
decided that Mrs. Knapp was sane and
perfectly capable to look after herself.

her daughter in this city. Until year ago

naming for several days at a time and
during that time he contributed small
amount of money for the support OF her

Briggs has not visited his wife and child
and has failed to provide for them.
