WILL NOT BELIEVE GUILT
UTAH BANDITS RECORDS SHOW
a BAD STREAK.
Abe on Parole From Folsom Prison,
Where He Was Serving a Term
of Ten Years for
Burglary.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,


90S Broadway May Z.
Mrs. Majors Wagner, the mother of the
two men believed to have been the high
waymen recently operating in Utah, will
not believe her sons to be the guilty pair
unless she hears that Abe has confessed.
The two boys have been missing from
home for several weeks and Abe. who is
out of Folsom on parole, should nave re
ported to the police authorities on April
!. but failed to do so. His career as one
Of the boy burglars" four years ago is
well known, when. in company with Bert
Wimore, they raided a score of stores In
this city before being captured.
AS soon as Mrs. Wagner was told of the
suspicion that the murdered bandit was
one of her sons and the bandit charged
with murder was the other she went into
Mysteries and was under medical attend
ance for hours. She persisted in declaring
that her boys were not murderers and
that she would never believe they had
committed crime unless she had proof of
1t by letter from the son that IS said to
be now in a Utah Jail charged with muir
der.
For the past four years both Abe and
Archie Majors have been in the public
eye, while for a score of years the family
has figured in the annals Of crime. The
boys father was hanged many years ago
for being implicated in murder near Los
GatOs This tragedy seemed 10 follow the
family and although making every effort
TO forget the past and to carve out a new
career. Mrs. Wagner has been followed
by the cruelest of fates.
After the death of Majors his widow
came to this city and later married Nag-
ner. He was a solicitor and after two
children were born he treated his wife
shamefully. She obtained divorce and,
although awarded alImOny, she could
never collect it and had to work hard for
the support of her four children. Archie
and Abe did not show any inclination to
lead industrious lives after they became
youths and Mrs. Wagner has always
other boy burglar for causing Abe TO
break away from his home ties.
Archie was always a rover, but not in
VOlVed in crime About two years ago he
married a Salvation Army lass named
Lena Stone and it was by her photograph,
found on his dead body, that the identiti-
cation was made For a time after his
latterly drifted off into evil paths. He
lived for time in Seattle with his wife.
After serving two years at Folsom out
of a sentence of ten Abe was paroled He
came to Oakland and showed great af-
feCtiOn for his mother. He obtained
work, but i'll luck seemed to follow him
and he expressed the opinion that when
once a boy had been 10 Folsom it was
impossible for him to work himself up and
to merit public confidence. He reported
regularly to the local police until
April l, and on that date he could not be
found. His mother had been led to be-
lieve that her boy had enlisted and gone
TO Manila.
Frequently Mrs. Wagner has stated that
she would end her unhappy career and it
is not improbable that the shock she Sus
tanned to-day may end fatally.

BROKE HIS FATHERS NOSE.
Sequel of Capitalist Armstrong; Suit
Against His Wife to Recover
Real Estate

OAKLAND, May THE injuries sus-
tanned by Thomas c. Armstrong. the aged
Haywards capitalist. a few days ago at
the hands of his son, Samuel P. Arm
strong. turn out to be worse than at
first expected The fathers nose is frac-
tured. The trouble is one of the sequels of
the suit recently brought by Thomas C.
Armstrong against his wife for the re-
coVery of valuable real estate which the
husband decided away at a moment when
he believed death was very near. In
Armstrong; s complaint he alleges num-
erous acts of cruelty on the part of his
children. Regarding the attack of a few
days ago the elder Armstrong said to-
day:
when l went into my house a few days
ago to get something to eat | dropped
into the dining room and put book into
a drawer. Then | went to a closet to get
some papers out of my valise when my
son, Sammy, seeing me, ordered me out Of
the house, at the same time calling me a
vile name rejecting upon my birth, tell
ing me / didn't own anything in the place
and then striking me upon the nose with
his Navy Armstrong gun, fracturing my
nose. l would have had him arrested
but l do not want the disgrace, and the
language he used to me was the first he
had spoken to me since March A. when
filed the suit against my wife to recover
property the deeds to which she wrong
fully had recorded"
The suit in question when 1t comes to
trial will prove decidedly sensational
one. The Armstrong; are one of the
wealthiest families at HaywardS where
the husband and father is engaged in the
real estate business.

THE SAMOAN SNARL
Admiral Kautz Cables That "the
Situation Is Improving"
THE OFFICIALS IN CONFERENCE.

Dr. Rafael, Ex-PrcSident or Apia, I'm
an Interview at New York, Denounc-
ed Consul Osborne as Incompetent
and Justice Chambers as Fool.
Washington March 3l.-Thc serious
condition of affairs in Samoa engaged
the attention of officials throughout yes
tcrday, and there were conferences at
the White House between the president
and Secretary Hay, and at the state de
uartmout between the secretary and the
British ambassador and Baron Spcck
Won Stcrubcrg first secretary OF the
German embassy. But ont of it ull not
word of additional information was
contributed from any official source.
The only authoritative statement came
from the navy department giving
brief dispatch from Admiral Kautz.
This dispatch read: situation is i'm
proving since telegram Of 18th via Sid
ney, New South Wales" This threw
no light on the latest outbreak. and ow-
ing to a tangle OF dates it served only
to further involve the official mystery.

THE EFFECT IN BERLIN.
The ombardment OF Samoa Has Not
Aroused the Germans.

The Bonn bardment of Samoa Has Not
Aroused the Germans.
Berlin March 31.-The German gov
erinment was taken wholly by surprise
with the news from Samoa. The inn
perial chancellor, Prince Hohenlohe, is
spending his birthday, which occurs to.
day, at Baden Baden and the minister
of foreign affairs, Baron Won Buelow,
is enjoying a fortnight's vacation in
Holstein. But a well informed individ.
ual says the government here is skeptical
as to Admiral Kautz's instructions. He
adds that the instructions for a bonn
bardment We're based on the British
and American claims that Mataafa was
contravening the Samoan act But, the
correspondents informant points out, the
contrayention was not specified, and the
government presumes that if the act was
really infringed Herr Rose, the German
consul, would also have protested, as his
government had instructed him to strict
ly conform to the act.
The assertion that Herr Rose protest
ed against the deposition of the pro-
visional government is doubted, as 1t is
claimed Herr Rose was instructed not
to identify himself with Mataafa more
closely than the representatives Of the
other powers.
There is considerable curiosity in this
city as to the effect the outbreak will
have upon the attitude of the United
States and Great Britain, but the view
remains that the final settlement will
be in no way changed by the outbreak oC
hostlities. The semi-official Post says
that Germany will remain neutral.

GEN. BROOKE DISCUSTED
May Send the Three Million Dol
lars Back to Washington.
THE ASSEMBLY HAS ARMY ROLLS

But Refuse to Give Them Up Until the
Assembly Is Recognized" by Our
Omclnls-GeneraI Gomez calls Them
UngrRteful.
Havana March 3t.-Govcnor Gen
eral Brooke has almost made up his mind
to send the S3,OOOOOO bacl, TO the United
States If the Cuban military assembly
does not give mp the army rolls. "You
may as well do so and not trAe much
longer" said Secretary Alger, when dis
cussing the matter two days ago in CON
ference with General Brooke and Gen
eral Gomez. The latter said that such
a course would serve the assembly right
Any way. the impression is spreading
that the governor general may return the
money to Washington. and it is stirring
up fresh feeling against the assembly.
General Ernst called upon the Cuban
General Rafael Portuondo. chairman OF
the executive committee Of the assembly
three days ago and asked for the rolls.
do you come from General Brooke. -
asked portuondo. ."Yes," replied Cen
eral Ernst. "Omcially or unoficially?'
~ come unofHcially," answered the Amer
lean officer. Then | cannot give them
up retorted Portuondo. II can only d.
so on official recognition"
A file OF the United States troops
would probably be sent to take the rolls
If the military administration knew ex-
actly where they were, but there is a
feeling that a mistake might be made
and the administration be placed in the
light of over anxiety and possibly be
laughed at.
In the course OF a conversation with
an old friend from San Domingo yes
terday General Gomez said: "I am
ready TO go home l am tired of this
iangle with the assembly. l have learn
ed something about this people which
did not know before. They are an un-
grateful people They do not appreciate
what the United States government Ia
doing FOR them-a service in which
am assisting. These assembly commits
sioners have run off again to the United
States to beg for money, while l, who
have a wife in San Domingo have not
money enough to bring her here. But
there l have house and might be sure
Of enough to live on. I am old and tired,
and l feel like going back"
