KNOWS NAUGHT Of
GIRL CHASTITY.

OAKLAND, Oct. 24.-It was neces-
sary for Deputy Sheriff Edward Swee-
ney to draw weapon and threaten
three times to shoot Allie Schmidt
wanted as a witness in the imp
son case before he placed the
young Alamedan under. arrest in
San Francisco last evening And
after all the trouble in finding Schmidt
fly against the character of Isabelle
Davis, the young telephone girl and
music teacher who accuses State Sena-
tor M. w. Simpson of Alameda of being
the father of her infant.
I know nothing about Miss Davis
chastity" said Schmidt to Deputy Sher-
if Sweeney, after he had been ar
rested. Il can testify to nothing that
will benefit either the prosecution or
the defense. and it looks as if / were
being prosecuted"
Further than that Schmidt would
make no statement. Senator Simpson,
in an affidavit. declared last Monday
that Schmidt had been overheard to
say that he had been intimate with
Miss Davis before she met Senator
Simpson. He offered to prove this by
Attorney A. F. ST. Sure of Alameda and
A. j. Peterson, who are alleged to have
overheard the remark. On that show
ing Judge T. ]. Lennon of Marin Coun-
ty, who is presiding at the trial, con-
tinued the case until yesterday, when
he issued bench warrant for
Schmidt's appearance in court tomor-
row.
When Schmidt saw Sweeney coming
at the Harbor Lumber Company's office
at First and Brannan streets. San
Francisco, where he is employed. he
started to run down First street
Sweeney says he drew his revolver to
frighten the fugitive and started in
pursuit. Three times Sweeney threat-
ened to shoot if the recalcitrant wit
ness would not stop and at the third
command Schmidt turned, saw the wea-
pom and came to a standstill
81 don't know anything about the
CASE he said to Sweeney. but he was
dociIe and made no further resistance
He was taken to the Alameda County
Jail and released on $1,000 bonds, fur
nished by William Zingg and Frank
Hally of Alameda.

Chicago. Aug. 11.-"Pay your fare
or walk,'' is the alternative now being
given by the Chicago, Burlington s
Quincy railroad to all Of those who in
past years have received free trans
portation. The Burlington officials have
put into immediate practice the new
rate bill. . ., !;
The Burlington is the first western
road to cut off all free and reduced rate
transportation. Whether the other lines
will follow the lead is a question.
"Our attorneys hold that it is a
more serious offense for us to give free
or reduced transportation between now
and Jan. l, 1907, than it will be after
that date, ~ said an official of the Bur
lington in discussing the new order.
"From now until Jan. l., procedure
against US would be under the general
provision against discriminating. and
the maximum penalty is fixed at $4,000
fine for" each offense. After that date
another,*clause Of the new law governs;
and the, penalty is $4,000 fine both fo1
the railroad and for the: person who
