Detective Follows ,.,n Twice Across
the Continent.
Boston, Jan. 3.-Edward Harvey, a
famous pickpocket, is due to arrive
here early Tuesday morning with To-
cal inspectors, who have twice
crossed the continent after him. Suf-
folk county has spent nearly $2,Goo
to catch him in the last year. al
though he got only $25 on his last
job. The fact that he robbed Police
Captain Phil Warren of Brighton
partly explains the strenuousness Of
the chase. He did the trI"S by crowd
ing Warren in a narrow passage on
a palace car bound for Chicago.
Warren caught him and his pal, but
the officer was in street clothing and
no one would help him until the pal
escaped. Harvey was put under $15,-
600 bail, but defaulted. Mrs. Annie
Martin of South Boston, who went
on his bail. went hysterical to throw
off the scent.
After fifteen months he was located
ut Colorado Springs, but got off just
before the Boston inspectors arrived.
Later, in Tacoma, he wriggled out
by a state law. He was found after
ward as gem cutter" following
Rlngling's circus down the Pacific
coast. He was held at Los Angeles.
Although only "a years of age he has

THEATER BURNED.
Three Hundred Guests of an Adoin-
ing Hotel Rush to the Street
in Night Garments.

New York, Jan. 3.-Fire was dis
covered early this morning in the TN
gine room of Keith's Union Square
theater The flames were first seen
by the engineer of the Morton house,
which adjoins the theater, and he
gave the alarm.
There were 800 guests in the notc',
who were hurriedly notified, and tncy
made their escape to the street clad
in their night garments. The halls
and corridors of the hotel were liIle'i
with smoke, and the guests from the
upper floors were compelled to grope
their way to the street. So far dc
known, they ali got out in safety.
Keiths theater is a siX-story build
ing and the Morton house is i've
stories, and both are practically in
the same building.
At 2:45 a. IN. the flames were rGf.d-
ly spreading throughout the entne
Jheater, but had not eaten their way
into the hotel. They spread to the
eastward, destroying quickly two
small stores, and the prospects are
the fire will spread still further in
that direction.
II was learned that the fire started
in the storage room adjoining the
engine room of the theater. Within
20 minutes after it's discovery it mad
spread upstairs, eating it's way " the
stores adjoining on the east. The
Morton house is on the west.
The clothing store of Benson & Co.
was soon destroyed. as was the cigar
store of Manuel Diaz.
The rapidity with which the flames
spread through the theater was be-
cause of a quantity of oils, paints and
a huge mass of scenery which were
in the storage rooms. The fumes and
gases from this infiammable stuff
hampered the firemen in their work,
as they were repeatedly driven from
the basement to the street.
At 2:45 a. m. Chief Croker an
nounced that he had hopes of con-
fining the fire TO the basement =;
the theater. and of also preventing
its spread fudrtber to the eastward
of the two stores.

HIGGINS BROTHERS RELEASED.
Justice Refused to Hold Them for
Assault.

Missoula, Jan. 2.-The decision of
Justice William Houtchens in the
preliminary examinations of Frank
and Arthur Higgins, charged with as
sault in the second degree, was an
nounced today, to the effect that the
court did not consider that there ex-
listed sufficient cause to hold the de-
PENDANTS to the district court. The
court stated that he did, however,
consider that there was sufficient
proof to convict on the charge of
third degree assault, and ordered
County Attorney Hall to prepare and
file complaint thus charging.
Inasmuch as defendants had made
no denial of committing the assaults
as charged, the decision of the court
came as a surprise. w. F. Sanders,
who appeared for the prosecution
took occasion to deliver a few re-
marks after the decision was ren.
dered, in which he stated the court S
action was rebuke to justice that
would stand as menace and dis
grace to Montana and Missoula's fair
name for many Jears. On top OF the
surprise caused by the courts action
a second was sprung by the county
attorney. When ordered by the JUS
tice to file new complaint he stated
that by telephone communication
from Attorney General Donovan he
had been ordered to appear in no
more proceedings that might be
brought against the defendants over
the present case.
The right of the attorney general
to instruct or interfere in the present
or like circumstances is denied by
the attorneys of Missoula generally
Tonight :he members of the bar are
proceedings. While they admit that
no line of action to continue the pros
ecution has been determined on, they
state that the matter is hot to be
dropped but that every resource If
law will be brought to bear to secure
further action. It is known that lib
eral funds have been supplied by
eastern friends to permit of such
course.
Lieutenant Governor Higgins, aft
er the courts decision, expressed
qualification and stated that the ac-
tion of the court was the only cor
rect one to uphold justice.

Under Arrest at Knoxville Looking
for Easy Place to Stand Trial.
Knoxville, Tenn, Jan. 8. The
United States marshal and attorney
at this place decided they would
await the coming of the January term
of the criminal court before taking
any further action in the Logan mat,
ter. At that term it will be left to
the judgment of Criminal Judge
Sneed whether his court has superior
claim over the United States court
and whether the warrants sworn out
by disintersted parties on which Lo-
gan is now held from the Knoxville
justice court are valid over the claim
of the federal authorities.
The police are still looking for the
three men who were seen in COM
pany with Logan's attorneys two or
three days ago and who are sup
posed to be Logan's pals. They have
suddenly disappeared and it is prob
able that they will not be appre-
hended.
About the only new phase of the
situation is a remark credited to
Reuben l.. Gates, city attorney for
Knoxville, and counsel for Logan,
which credits him with saying that
Tennessees governor Benton Nc
MILAN would not honor requisition
for Logan if such an instrument were
served on him. Gates stands close
to the governor.

Mystery of James r. Hays
Death,


Salt Lake, Jan. with the find
ing of a 38-caliber revolver not far
from the scene of the crime, the po-
lice of this city have in their posses
sion what is believed to be the last
element necessary to clear up the
mystery of James r. Hays death on
the night of December 16.
The weapon was found buried in
the mud near the corner of Thir-
teenth street south and State street.
1t has been traced to the secondhand
store, where it was bought a short
time before the killing, according to
the police, by a man answering the
description of Peter Mortensen, the
contractor, who is being held on the
charge of committing the crime.
Mortensen, however continues to
affirm his innocence and positively
denies all knowledge of the affair.
Hay had been missing for two
days before his body was discov-
cred buried ~, t"ooch ~ a suburb
of this city, and it was reported that
be had absconded with $3.S00 in
gold, which was alleged to have
been maid to him as security for the
Pacific Lumber company by Peter
Mortensen, contractor.
Telegrams were sent to the po-
lice of every city, asking them to
watch for Hay. The finding of the

from participating in any manner in
the affairs of the Boston & Montana.
The decision on all noints was against
Maginnis. The effect of Judge
Knowles decision is to declare that
the Amalgamated company is a legal
organization and has a right to own
stock in the Montana mining COM
panles, and that tnere is no law and
public policy against it.

Receives No Salary.
LYNCHBURG, VA, December 4.-(Spe-
cial)-The proceedings of the afternoon
session Of the State Horticultural Soci-
ETY. Wednesday were considerably en-
livened by lengthy and somewhat heat
ed discussion resulting from questions
that We're raised by Mr.. w. w. Otey, Of
Pulaski. and Mr.. Samuel B. Woods AL
hemarle. those gentlemen contending that
the State Entomologist had failed to do
his duty, in that he had not followed up
and enforced treatment of private prem
ises. In reply to this Professor Atwood
commended that unless money was pro-
vided, either by the State or counties,
no adequate efforts could be made. The
fact came out in the discussion that the
State Entomolugist has never been paid
any salary for the duties performed In
relation to this work, and that the crop
pest commission had even been obliged
to borrow $1,000 to carry on the necessary
public work during the past year, as
through a techncality part of the regu-
lar appropriation had been withheld. Pro-
lessor Atwood had previously stated that
the scale insect had steadily spread in
the orchards and gardens of the State,
and that there has never been sufficient
money available to pay the expense OF
following the work and enforcing the
trea trlent of cases OH private premises.
Thus, while the nursery inspection had
been fully enforced and the restrictions
placed on shipping infested stock into the
State carried into effect, the spread of the
trouble from inspection already estab-
lished was progressing in a sure and dam
gerous manner.
