PORTLAND, Jan. 23.-Land fraud
Investigations are being carried on so
persistently by Prosecuting Attorney
Heney that every means is being used

Federal grand jury.
Phelps was chosen for his position
as he was believed to be unapproach-

from view and was not found again
till this morning, when the bailiff of
the court went to his room and found
him lying on the bed In a stupor, with
all his clothes on. Indications were
that he had just come, or had been
carried home.
The officials believe that men un-
Ger suspicion OF land fraud have hired
secret agents to drug Phelps. and learn
the future actions of the jury. Just
what Phelps divulged is as yet not
known, as he has not yet sufficiently
recovered to tell where he was during

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 2S-Fighting
between the cattle men and sheep men
is the hourly dread of Antelope VAL
ley. Many sheep men are bringing
: their fiocks from Inyo and other coun-
ties north for pasture. The cattle men
are armed and keeping grim lookout
and bloody clash Is expected. Thou
sands of sheep are known to be on the
way to the grassy slopes between Lam
caster and Palmdale, which the south
ern stockmen claim. They say they
will shoot down all the wool and NUT
ton men who try to intrude. The lat
ter declare they will have the grass.
Yesterday morning word came that
large band of sheep was in the valley
near Palmdale. A large company of
cattle men, armed with rifles, rode out
at dawn to drive them out by force.
Luckily the Basques had been warned
and turned back and violence was
averted.
The cattle men object to the sheep
men sharing the pasture with them for
several reasons. One is the ancient
superstition that cattle will not Craze
on land that sheep have been over. The
sheep men think that in this vast land
scape there should be room enough
for all.

CHICAGO JAIL.
HOLDS YATES
Man Wanted for Dorchester
Hotel Robbery Arrested
by Police of Windy City

AdviceS received here last night
from Chicago announce that Andrew
Yates, who is wanted by the San Fran
cisco police for the robbery of $4,000
worth of diamonds from Mr.. and Mrs.
several months ago, is now held there
Oh suspicion of being a pickpocket.
According to the telegram, Yates.
who was arrested in Chicago under the
name of Jack Williams, has confessed
that he is the man who robbed the
Gundlefingers and is a member OF a
wealthy California family. He said
his grandmother had frequently OBJ
tanned his release from Jail on his
promise to mend his ways.
In support of his own story Yates
told the Chicago police that pawntick-
cts for part of the plunder stolen
by him in this city could be found in
the old Inter Ocean Hotel at Chicago.
Although the police of the latter city
claim that they have received from
San Francisco telegraphie confirmation
of Yatess' story. the detectives here last
night professed to have no information
regarding Yates arrest.
While the Chicago police are .holding
Yates on several charges they have
signif1ed their willingness to turn him
over to the San Francisco authorities
should the latter want him. Yester-
days Geographic story from Pasadena
of the arrest of a bellboy on suspicion
OF having robbed the guests of hotel
there of $4,000 worth of jewelry caused
some of the local detectives to suspect
that possibly the Pasadena boy was
Yates. Last nights dispatch from Chi
cago, however, dispelled this theory.
The Chicago prisoner will probably be
sent for by Chief Whitman.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M, Jan. 3D.
A death, shrouded by much mystery

woman. 25 or 30 years old. and papers
show her name to be Mary Mckee Of
! 2251 San Jose avenue, Alameda, Cal.

porter say that when she entered the
coach she was heavily yelled. After
retiring the first night she did not
leave her berth again until taken out q

any one except the trainmen and only
spoke to them when 1t was absolutely
necessary.
About two hours before the train
reached here porter heard a moan
ing sound from her berth and asked
If she wanted anything. She answered
that she did not. An hour later, fear
ing that the woman needed something,
the porter called at the berth and
found the woman in q sitting posture
and dead.
Although no poison could be found,
the theory of suicide is advanced be-
cause several pieces of paper were
found bearing the scribbled addresses
and her name, marked in care of Mrs.
o. b. Chase Of Alameda Mrs. Chase
is supposed to be a sister.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The Senate
investigation into the protest against
Senator Reed Smoot will be concluded
this week. The cross-examination of
the respondent terminated earlier than
expected. 1t was announced just be-
fore adjournment of the Committee on
Privileges and Elections that only a.
few more witnesses would be put on
the stand. Except for some docu-

may be concluded tomorrow. Chair
man Burrows remarked that it was
necessary to get through with the ar
guments also this week, as Tayler,
counsel for the protestants, will as
sumo his duties as Federal Judge In
Ohio next Tuesday.
The cross examination of Senator
Smoot resulted in his absolute refusal
to testify in regard to the endowment
ceremonies. He also asserted that it
was not his business to call to account

because Smith had admitted to the
committee that he was living in viola

Senator Burrows referred to Senator
Smoot's expression of surprise at the
testimony of President Smith as to the
number of children he had had since
the manifesto and asked If he had said
anything to President Smith since his
testimony in regard to the matter. The
witness replied that he had not. He
said the apostles had not taken up the
matter.
John M. Whitaker gave unimportant
testimony and declined to answer about
the endowment ceremonies.
