ALLEGED BIGAMlST NOW
IN BRITISH C0LUMB IA
George D. Collins Of san Francisco and
Second Wife Passed Through
Dunsmulr
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 1.-THE
police believe that George d. Collins,
the alleged blgamist. and his second
wife are now in British Columbia. In
formation has been received that the
couple passed Dunsmuir on their way
north.
An attachment was levied today on
Collins library and other effects. The
attachment was made in an effort to
recover money due private detective
who had been shadowing people for
Collins.
The grand jury today issued a sub
poena for "Bogie" O'Donnell to appear
and testify before It, Fearing that pos
slbly O'Donnell had sought to escape
the grand jury sent four officers to
help bring him in. A continued search
brought no results and finally 1t was
discontinued. When found he will be
severely questioned as to the identity
of the man who ordered the automo-
biles by which Collins and his party
were able to leave San Francisco with
out attracting public attention.
The police are also hunting for Mrs,
McCurdy, who left the city Saturday
without leaving any clew to her move
ments. A warrant for her arrest has
been issued and her description tele-
graphed to every large city in the
United States.
BY the extradition treaty made be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain, which binds the Dominion OF
Canada, bigamy is not a crime for
which refugee in British in British
territory must be returned by that gov
ernment. 1t is possible for the govern
or province, provided he is anxious
to do so, to send a person back when he
is wanted for an offense not on the ex-
traditable list. This seldom occurs,
however, for the governors are loath
to take action for fear of making q
mistake.

MOSCOW OFFICIAL IS VICTIM
OF ASSASSIN
KILLED IN AUDIENCE ROOM
Count shuvalof Falls Pierced by
Four Bullets Fired at Close
Range by Man Dressed
as a Peasant
Rv Aaancinted Press.

BY Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG. July 1.-THE as
sasslnation of Prefect Of Police Count
shuvaloff Of Moscow today is consid-
cred to be a purely political crime, as
the count was not over 40 years of age
and was regarded as being one of the
best type of Russian officials. He came
from one of the most famous families
in Russia. The count was a son OF
Count Peter Shuvaloff.
The statesman, who represented Rus
sia at the Berlin conference, was for
merly colonel on the Guard regiment
known as the st. Petersburg and was
one of Emperor Nicholas personal
friends. AS prefect of odessa, when he
succeeded Gen. Zelenoi, who was ex-
tremely severe, Count shuvaloff won
the esteem of all by his firm but lenient
course, making himself particularly
popular with the students. The i'm
preston exists here that the count was
killed for preserving order
The zemstvoists will not be allowed
to meet at Moscow July 10, although
this act is simply in execution of the
orders of the governor general, issued
previous to the assassination of tbs
prefect.
The assa ssin waited in the anteroom
of the prefecture until the other petit
TONERS had been received, and then
o...x.i.. +1a o,,diapoa roono he ad-
vanced toward Count Shuvaloff, firing
five shots at close range.
Assassin Was Recently Arrested
The assassin was dressed as a peas
ant, but has not been identified. He
was recently arrested as political sus-
pect, but escaped from the police sta
tion before his examination.
Count Shuvaloff owes his death to his
custom of freely granting audiences and
receiving petitions from all classes.
One bullet wounded the count in thf
pericardium, another pierced his abdo'
men, a third struck him in the arm,
fourth in the shoulder. while the as
sassin's fifth bullet struck the leg of al
official who was standing near. Ac
cording to the physicians the bullets
were poisoned. The victim supposed!
lost consciousness, as he never spoke
A great crowd gathered in front O
the house of Count Shuvaloff and mad'
a demonstration to show its indignation
and sorrow at the assassination of th'
prefect, who was very popular.
