EASY
Money Made by
Smith,
Resulted In His Ar
rest.
Mr.. J. D. Chandler In Role OF
Sherlock Holmes.

Lewis w. Smith, alias Zimmerman,
of Toledo, representing himself as
general agent for the international
Publishing CO., with authority to ap-
point other agents, was arrested Sat
urday afternoon charged with obtain
ing money under false pretensc.
Smith had an "ad' in local papers
offering to pay $12 and expenses to
agents. when applicants called on
him at the Arlington hotel, he pro-
duced n contract made by himself in
which the agent to-be was to pay $500
for 1,0Oo-mile railroad pass book.
This money was to be refunded after
a certain period. The failure to pro-
duce the pass book Is what is said to
have caused Smith to come to grief.
Mr. John w. DaiTah, a clerk of M.
O'Neil g. Co., answered the "ad' Fri
day. merely to see WHAT 1t was. He
was shown the contract and suspect
ing all was not right. he left the hotel
and said he would call again. He call
ed again Saturday afternoon, but was
accompanied by Mr.. j. ID. Chandler.
In the meantime Mr.. Darrah had tel
egraphed to the International Pub
fishing Co., and they wired back that
they knew no such u party as Ilm-
norman. When Mr.. Darrah showed
Smith the telegram he was dumb
founded.
There must be some mistake" said
Smith. "You wait here till | go tele-
graph" he added, taking his hat and
overcoat off the rack, and starting
toward the door.
Hold on minute, young fellow"
said Mr.. Chandler at the same time
taking n hold of Smiths arm. Come
along with me to the Police station"
What authority have you got to
stop meT' Smith demanded
'1'll show YOU"
Between Mr.. Darrah and Mr. Chand-
Ter, Smith started for the Police sta
ton. At the corner of Market and
Howard SITS, they met officer Camp
bell who took charge of the prisoner
At the Police station, Smith, who is
n years old, told the officials the
complete story of his life. He said
he was the only support of widowed
mother, in Michigan, that he had a
sister In an insane asylum, and
brother in the Reform School. He
said he had an injured spine caused
by a house falling on him, and that
he received damages for this. This
money he said he used in paying his
expenses at college. He was obliged
to leave, he continued, because of
young woman, Since then he had
been at various occupations. He was
at one time, he stated, reporter, and
he finally accepted position with
the International Publishing Go.
When searched, number of pa
pers aud $40 were found OH his per-
son. Mr.. q A, Nahcr, who deposited
$500 with Smith for mileage book,
which he did not receive, had n war
rant made out for Smiths arrest.
Smith will have hearing Tuesday
before Mayor Doyle.
The police found n torn letter in
Smiths pocket In which there were
of various people being
ileeced in Indiana, and the expression
that Akron would be an "ensy" place

SOCIALISTS CONVENTION.



Despite the gale and accompanying
sleet and hall. the Socialist county
convention last evening at the court
house was we'll attended. When Chair
man Gerdes called the meeting to cr-
der there were about 60 present. and
there was considerable enthusiasm
shown. Lewis J. Anderson was chosen
secretary,
There was but little discussion on
the matter Of platform. as all were in
harmony as to the principles of the
party. Secretary Anderson read the
platform and II was Immediately
adopted.
The convention then named a COM
mittee whose duty II is to recommend
ticket for all county officers to be
put into the field. II was the unan-
lmous opinion OF those present to
name a ticket and push the campaign
as hard as possible. not with the ex-
pectation OF election, but 10 educate
the people to the principles OF the par
ty. The naming OF the candidates was
left TO the committee. but the conyen-
ton recommended the following:
Sheriff. c. r. WEIGH; treasurer, Thcs.
Bush Judge. c. S. Dow: clerk. b. D.
Sloop. These will doubtless be the
candidates and the remainder sup
piled by the committee.
II was voted to adjourn until the
evening of April II. j. D. Stevens, who
has been lecturing throughout Clatsop
county and stirring up enthusiasm
among the members. was present and
gave the convention some good advice
in regard to the future campaign.
The platform adopted by the conven-
ticn was practically the same es they
have formerly adopted and discussed.
They favor holding public officials to
strict account for violating their duty;
oppose any county official receiving a
salary exceeding $500 a year and in
sist that all fees shall be paid into the
county They demand thorough road
building system. and favor the aboli-
lie work, and dema I'd that such work
tion OF the contract system on all pub
shall be performed by the county at
day labor at full union wages, but in
no case less than 50 a day; that eight
hours shall constitute a days work,
and all materials shall be purchased
from persons who employ union labor.
They demand that school facilities
shall be made adqeuate for every
child OF school age In this county in
Guiding free books and, when neces-
sary, clothing and meals, and that all
children be registered and required by
law to attend school. They demand
such legislation as will protect and
perpetuate the fishing industry on the
Columbia, They favor the re-enact-
ment OF the Chinese exclusion act and
also the exclusion Of the japanese.
They also demand the initiative and
referendum and the imperative man
cate. They favor municipal ownership
of public utilities, equal suffrage re-
gardlsss of sex.
