OMNIBUS BILL
HOUSE COMMITTEE BUSILY EN-
GAGGED IN PREPARATION OF
BLANKET MEASURE.
Will Recommend Appropriations Of Be-
tween Twelve and Fifteen Million
Dollars-Defeated Democratic Can
didate Secures Injunction-Grand
Jury's Report.

Washington. ID. c., Dec. 3.-The
house committee on public buildings
is now busily engaged, in anticipation
OF the reopening Of congress Monday,
IA preparing III omnibus public build
ing bill. carrying appropriations of be-
tween ~s12,000,0O0 and $3.50 900.
The committee has decided it is i'm
practicable for ever a subcommittee
to visit the west, especially Denver, to
see the urgent necessity of a new
public building, and it seems likely
that the claims of the western city for
a new p%ostoffice and public building
will not be acted upon.

Tale of Official Wrangles
STORY LOOKS CREDIBLE
Legislature May Get Written
Account of Trouble From
Mineralogist and Others

Lewis E. Aubury, State Mineralogist
of California, is back from ST. Louis.
He has left the California mineral ex-
hibit at the exposition in charge of
George Madeira and will not return to
ST. Louis until December, when it will
be necessary TO pack specimens to be
returned to the State Mining Bureau in
this city and to be forwarded to the
Lewis and Clarke Exposition at Port
land.
The law providing for the appoint
ment of commissioners from California
to ST Louis also made the State Min
eralogist the head of the mineral show
at the fair, but it put him under the
direction OF the California commission
ers. Out of this situation has grown
a great amount of friction at ST. Louis.
Indeed, it began before the exhibits in
any of the departments were shipped
from California to the East.
Remarks that were decidedly gin
gerry have been reported as made by
the California commissioners. The
State Mineralogist is also reported TO
have expressed his mind very freely
about the commissioners. Some echoes
of the conflict of authority have been
heard in the mining counties of this
State. Certain. newspapers have pub
nShed stories tnat added fuel 20 the
flames. Aubury's friends at this end
of the line have hinted that such pub
lications were inspired by his enemies.
The State Mineralogist declined yes
terday TO say anything about the trou-
bleS at st. Louis. He admitted that all
had not been smooth sailing. He said
that the California mineral show had
attracted the attention of hundreds OF
thousands and. being more varied than
any other at the exposition. had well
maintained the reputation of California
for mineral wealth.
After time the California commits
sioners and the State Mineralogist will
be compelled to report to the State
Legislature. The initiated believe that
both reports will contain much more
than the regulation quantity of spice
and that matters at st. Louis and, else-
where will be handled without gloves.

COVERS. CAPTOR WITH
PISTOL AND ESCAPES
Z. i. Tomilson. Young Railroad Clerk.
adopts Daring Method to Gain
His Freedom


E. L. Tomilson, a stenogra pher in
the office of Division Superintendent
Wilder of the Southern Pacific Com
pany at Third and Townsend streets,
has fallen from grace and is now
being sought by the police 1t is the
custom of General Manager Agler to
forward all transportation intended
for employees to the office of the di-
vision superintendent, by whom the
men are employed. Saturday a pack
age of passes were sent to Wilder's s
Office and were received by Tomilson,
who, it seems, removed several of
them from the sealed envelope. The
company keeps a close check on all
free transportation, and under its
system it was discovered in less than
two hours that Tomilson had COM
mitted theft.
When he was taxed with the Of
fense Tomilson hurriedly left the Of
flee. Later he was overhauled by
Officer NJ. Hennessey, who, in com
pany with Railroad Detective Levin,
took his young prisoner to the New
Western Hotel for safe keeping over
night. Being assigned room, Hen
nessey and Tomilson proceeded to re-
tire, while Levin went to the hotel
Office to read. He had been seated
there but short time when he was
startled by the information given him
by a bellboy that Tomilson had es-
capped. Hurrying upstairs to the room
in which Tonilson had been left
with Hennessey, Levin found the rail
road officer reclining in a chair with
his limbs tightly bound and a gag in
his mouth.
Hennessey was released and he then
told the story of Tomilson's escape.
While in the act of removing his
clothes Hennessey had taken a pistol
out of his pocket and placed it on a
table. When the officers back was
turned Tomilson grabbed the pistol
and, covering his captor. forced him
into the chair. to which he was quick
ly bound and later was gagged to
prevent his making an outery while
Tomilson was escaping from the ho-
tel. Hennessey finally managed to at
tract the attention of bellboy, who
summoned levin. Tomilson is now
being hunted for By the city detective
force. q
