LOOKS BAD FOR GATES
Detectives Find Conclusive Evidence
In Trunk In Bandits Room.

REDDING Cal, May 14.-According
to Detective William Ahern, who has
been at work on the Copley train rob-
berry case since an hour after the COM
mission of the crime the trunk found
in the room of Bruce Van Drake Geo
Gates at Dunsmuir, which Gates was
anxious in his letters to Mrs. White

dence that not only clearly establish
ed George Gates connection with the
Copley case, but held evidence that
just as clearly showed that George
Gates was leader of the gang which
held up several street cars in Portland
and terrorized Seattle last summer.
The evidence found in the trunk
showing Gates connection with the
northern streetcar holdups is a pair
of shoes. They are patent feathers,
with peculiar scallops where the up
pers and bodies of the shoes meet At
the time of the Portland and Seattle

trip to Seattle and a midnight journey
into the forest.
Several little facts that have leaked
out make it positive that the Pinkerton
force of trained men is being directed
along fixed lines on certain clues
which have been picked up during the
hunt. 1t can be stated on the best of
authority that these clues indicate that
the child was kidnapped.

Gotham Letter

NEW YORK. May 1.-THE political
friends of Judge Parker, who a few
weeks ago were extremely hopeful ana
enthusiastic. are no longer 50. Not
that they think less of their candl-
date for the presidency; but condl-
,ions have arisen right here, in Judge
Parker's own state, which threaten
TO complicate the political situation to
such an extent that Judge Parker
success becomes more than doubtful.
The whole trouble may be traced back
to the Jealous strife for the political
control of New York city and the
whole state Of New York, which Is
being Waged between Murphy, the
leader of Tammany and Hill, the
leader of the state democracy. Those
among Judge Parker's friends, who

shut their eyes Intentionally to the
signs on the political horizon, are be
ginning to doubt that their candidate
will be able to carry the state unless
something is done soon to reconcile the

Philadelphia will, after all, have no
opportunity to crow over New YORK.
When the war department decided
against permitting an extension of the
dock piers farther out into the North
river. the large steamship companies
threatened. to move their docks TO
Philadelphia, where they would have
no trouble about securing all the room
they need for their large steamships.
The city of Brotherly Love was Jubl-
liant over the prospect of capturing
such a big prize and quietly INDUCED
in a merry chuckle. But, it is not to
be. The steamship companies are not
going to move their docks to Phlladel-
phia, but shall remain here. To make
it possible to provide sufficiently long
dock slips, the city intends to spend
about twenty million dollars for the
purpose of purchasing a strip of about
seyenty-five feet from the present
dock line and lengthen the docks on
the land side. 1t will be a gigantic
undertaking and an expensive one, but
New York cannot afford to lose it's
prestige as the terminal port of the
large transatlantic steamships.

There is probably no city in the

gangs of hoodlmms, which exert Veri-

in certain districts, that the principal
Of one of the high schools, located in
one of those hoodlum districts, has
openly declared. that he would arm his
pupils and advise them to kill their
aggressors, should they be attacked.
The police department is paying lit
tie or no attention to those gangs
of youthful thugs and thieves and in
the few cases, in which some of the
leaders of the hoodlums We're arrested,
nothing came of it, as the Juvenile
court showed the most ridiculous leni-
ency toward the young criminals. Pub
lie opinion is quite astir over this
matter and it is expected that strong
demands Will be made for greater ac-
tivity of the police and greater severi-
ty in dealing with the offenders by the
