HANDSOME YOUNG MAN
OF SEVERAL ALIASES.
Clever Work by Detective Meredith
strips the Mask From Ed
ward Blum.

Detective ". l.. Meredith, OF this city,
recently completed a clever stroke Of work
by virtue OF which Charles Black, alias
Charles Bleck alias Edward Blum was
sent TO Whatcom county TO answer for his
misdeeds in that locality.
Early in the fall neat and rather attrac-
tive young man, apparently not more than
Is or IL years old. was run in by Detective
Barbee for a burglary on Pike street
There were some eXtenua;ing circumstais-
ces- II appeared that the room entered
was closed. but the door not locked The
prisoners youth was in his favor, and he
gave the name of Edward Blum. and
claimed he was from San Francisco. The
Judge dealt ieniently with him, virtually
turning him loose on probation.
IL was not long TIL Blum was heard OF
again. This time he broke into an estab-
lshment on Western avenue and stole sew
eral articles of value. including violin
For this offense he was sentenced 10 the
county Jail. Meanwhile a letter had been
received at police headquarters from What
com asking the police in Seattle TO look out
for one Charles Black. who was wanted in
Whatcom for breaking into a house and
stealing gun worth SIS and watch worth
s45. The case WAS turned over 10 Meredith
10 work up. Suddenly, while he was study
ing the personal description OF Black il
flashed on his mind that Black ana Blum
must be one and the same man. According
ly he wrote TO Whatcom, inciosing a photo
graph OF Blum. His suspicion proved TO
be well founded. and the weil-dressed youth
OF innocent appearance and many ALIASES
was taken in charge by a Whatcom county
deputy last Tuesday. when his term in the
King county tail expired.

To obtain relief against a justice court

by doubtful methods before Justice of the
Peace Harry Carson. Of Duwamish pre-
cinct. Ainswor,h & Dunn, wholesale fish
dealers. yesterday obtained from Judge
Benson a writ OF certiorari, requiring the
Justice 10 certify to the supreme court for

the writ, the firm was made garnishee de-
PENDANT in the case of ii. A. Henry VS..
Henry Winelow, Winslow having been EN-
ployed by the firm at one time. Mr.. AIMS
worth alleges that on the day set for the
hearing Winslow made default, bat that
he himself on behalf OF his firm. made APP
pearance and denied owing anything 20
Winssow. and claimed the discharge OF the
garn.shment- The justice, Mr.. Ainsworth
says. took the case under advisement, and
three or four days later telephoned an
nouncing that he had rendered judgment
against the firm for the amount claimed
To be due from Winsiow
Thereupon. Mr.. Ainsworth says, he In
structed his attorneys, Strudwick & Pet

A few weeks later Mr.. Ainsworth goes
on TO say. M. NJ Madigan, the lawyer who
had appeared for the plaintiff In the suit
moved TO dismiss the appeal on the ground
that 1t was from a Judgment by default

motion was filed on the ground that the
decree was not final but merely interlocu-

Dunn nor their attorneys were given any
notice, either by the justice or by the op-
posing lawyer. until long after the twenty
days allowed for an appeal had elapsed
Mr.. Ainsworth charges that his firm and
his attorneys were led TO believe that the
first Judgment entered was a final 1udg-
ment by the actions Of the justice and by
the words and actions OF Attorney MaGi-

VICTIMS OF FRANKLIN
DISASTER WERE WARNED.
TsxS ~ supreme Court Opinion Re.
yeFstng Damage Judg ments
Against d. 4. Co.

The full text OF the opinion rendered
three days ago by the supreme court. in
the damage suits OF Mary Hughes CT al.
and Ella Hay ct al. vs.. the Oregon I'm
proyement Company, was received in this
City yesterday by General Counsel s. IL.
! Pies, of the company. As stated at the
time the opinion was rendered. the suits
resulted from the Franklin mime disaster
when thirty-seven miners were asphyxlat-
ed by the shutting down OF the fan which
sent air to the lower levels. In both cases
the Judgment OF the superior court grant
This practically settles the matter and
IL Is probable no further attempts will be
made by surviving relatives of the dead
miners 10 secure damages. Had the judg
ments been sustained In the supreme court
suit would undoubtedly have been at once
entered against the Oregon Improvement
or Pacific Coast Company by the many
other parties Interested In the success Of
these test cases. The result would have
been judgments against the Oregon Inn
{e8,00.
In the opinion Just handed down the
court holds the Oregon Improvement Conn
pany was not guilty OF any negligence, as
when the ire broke out the miners work
ing below ground were at once notified and
were ordered TO leave the mine at least "A
half hour before any OF them were injured:
that they could have reached place of
safety inside of fifteen minutes and that
fifteen men did so escape. some of whom
had been further In the mine than those
lost
The negligence on the part OF the min
ers In not needing promptly the warning
10 leave the mine. Is held by the court
10 prohibit recovery or damages TIE
shutting down of the fan by the men at
the ian house was not. according To the
opinion OF the court an act of negligence.
but an error OF Judgment TOR which the
company was not liable. The men were
compelled 20 act as they thought best in
an emergency and did what they could un-
der the circumstances.
