NV Assoclated Press.

By Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO Aug. 21.-Passen-
ger Traffic Manager Fee of the South
ern Pacific company announces that IN
view of the great demand in California
for labor to care for the crops and other
work that is offering, that company
has decided to put into effect low rates
from all points east, effective Monday,
the 9th inst. These rates will be ole
way rates.
From Chicago the fare will be $33;
from st. Louis $31; from Omaha and
Kansas City $25; from New Orleans
S31: from points in Indian territory
Kansas and Nebraska $25; from New
York $50, and corresponding rates from
other points.
They will remain in effect until the
end of October.
The rates will apply to points all
over California, Nevada, Arizona, New
Mexico and Oregon.
The employers of labor will not have
a clear field in securing the services Of
people coming west.
More colonization projects, with LAND
under irrigation, have become active
since the San Francisco fire than dur
ing any previous summer in the his
tory of California and these are all
reaching out vigorously for settlers.
Government reclamation work near
Truckee, Nevada, at Klamath in Ore
gon, and about Yuma, Arizona, is al
tracing much interest from colonists
The Southern Pacific company also
announces that it will at once establish
tourist excursions in through cars
from all important points west of Chi
cago to California, running them daily
for the benefit of people taking advan-
tage of the low rates.

ter to the people of Kansas In answer
70 communications approving or critl-
I1,no his conduct of the Santa Fe af-
fairs. - =
He saws the road Is worth all 1t Is
capitalized for, and as to taxation the
company will not murmur as long as
its property is assessed in the same
proportion Of it's real value as Is the
property of private citizens.
''It is the almost universal custom
in every part of the country, ne says,
''tb transport free of charge, national
state and county officials, as courtesy,
and 1 have never thought that 1t gave
the railroads any claim on the con-
science of the officials nor have L known
Of any case where a legislator mas
voted or been expected to vote against

''There will be no objection on the
part of the company to cease ISSUING nins

this to be DONE"
AS to the railroad in politics Presi-
dent Ripley says:
eve have the same interests in good
government as any other citizen and
the same right to display that interest.
"As the largest corporation in the
state and the largest taxpayer, we
have vital interest in sane and con-
servative legislation, and when, as has
too often been the case, there is danger
that the state will be swept off its feet
by appeal to passion and prejudice made
by the designing demagogues for their
own personal ends, it becomes duty
to oppose those men by fair and legal
means, and in such cases only Will the
Santa Fe be found in politics"

BRIDE SAYS HUSBAND
HAS DESERTED HER

The local police are looking for Otto
Water, who is said to have deserted
his bride of less than a week at San
Diego. When he left he is said to have
taken with him S52S belonging to his
wife.
Water came to Pasadena recently
from Oak Park, a suburb of Chicago,
and secured work at the home of j.
Blynn. There he met Miss Lizzie
Hyatt, the family cook. Their court
ship was speedy and a wedding fol-
lowed a few days later. Then Water
and his newly made wife went to San
Diego, where the woman had lived.
Three days later the man disappeared
and with him, the woman says, went
his wifes savings. He is thought to
have come to Los Angeles and the po-
lice have a good description of him.

DENIES
CHIEFS CHARGE
AUBLE DECLARES HE CAN'T
GET COMPLAINTS
Merry War of Words Continues to
Amuse Public-Beebe Intimates
That Some One Is Ro-
manclng

Chief of Police Auble yesterday, for
the third time Within a week, in an
interview, attacked the prosecuting at
torneys for not issuing complaints at
his solicitation or that of his men.
Mr.. Auble said that it was impossi-
BILE to do anything with crooks who are
passing worthless Georgia state bank
bills because he cannot secure COM
plants after he has caused the men
to be arrested. Regarding the case the
chief said yesterday:
Il do not know what we are coming
to. A gang of yeggmen are reported
on the road to Los Angeles. They are
passing the bogus money en- route.
What we will do with them 1 do not
know.
THE sheriff of San Bernardino coun-
ty telephoned me the other day, saying
that he had several men locked up who
had passed bad money in Los Ange-
les He seemed surprised when I told
him that 1 could not do anything with
them. 1t is strange to me why these
crooks can be prosecuted in every
other county in the state except Los
Angeles"
Prosecuting Attorney George Beebe
declares that there is no other reason
asked for except in cases where the
evidence is not sufficient. In defense Of
his office he said yesterday:
Beebe Makes Denial
IT have always attempted to do my
duty as 1 see it and as the law pre-
scribes it. 1t does not make any diff
ference to me what anyone says,
shall continue to do my work as
have done it heretofore. We have never
denied any complaint where there was
sufficient evidence to warrant it being
issued
Although Chief Auble declares that
he has never been able to get a COM
plaint against a man passing bogus
money, Mr.. Beebe says Daniel McMa-
hon is now serving a six months SEN
tence for that very offense, having
been sentenced March 8, 1906. McMa-
hon was arrested February 2S by De-
tective Talamantes. The complaint
was issued by Prosecuting Attorney
Beebe, who also conducted the prose-
cution.
Within the past year. the attorneys
say, there have been two other con-
victions for similar offenses. The prose-
cutting attorneys declare they are will
ing to issue complaints against the
passers of bogus money if the police
department will present the cases in
proper form to them.
Although Chief Auble says that he
cannot get the complaints the attor-
neys say that he has not asked for a
single complaint since Mcmahon was
convicted.

Lawrence Monday night because the

HOLY ROLLER IS
UNDER ARREST
YOUNG MAN BELIEVED TO BE
DEMENTED
Edwin Wegellus viii Probably Be
Tried by Insanity Board-Pitl-
ful Story Of Persecution
Is Developed

On a warrant sworn out yesterday
before Judge Conrey in department 5
of the superior court, Edwin Wegelius,
member Of the Church of the Holy
Rollers, will probably be arrested on an
insanity charge and arraigned before
Judge Gibbs today.
Wegelius is already in custody, hav-
ing been arrested by police officers sew
eral days ago, so that his arrest on the
insanity warrant will simply be a tech
nical one. The mans case, however. is
said to be most peculiar.
Wegelius is a Finlander and a mem
Der of a prominent family in his far
away land of the north. The young
man was sent to college by his parents
and graduated with high honors, but
unfortunately Joined / society of stu
dents, and the guardians of the great
white czar paid him a visit.
In fear of Siberia and torture Wege-
Illus left home suddenly and managed to
evade the guards and steal aboard an
outbound ship. For three years he was
compelled to do the work of sailor to
pay for his passage to America, and
finally he was permitted to leave the
ship, and secured entrance to this coun-
try through Ellis island.
Then the young mans troubles, how
ever. had just begun. The terrible pri-
vations of the sea voyage affected his
mind so that he became delirious. He
was carefully attended at an asylum
and finally recovered. His constant
complaint was tl.at the captain of the
vessel was about to beat him with a
marlin spike.
Confesses to Murder
Some months ago Wegelius arrived in
Los Angeles and promptly allied him
self to a band of Holly Rollers. He
worked himself up to such a fever of
excitement in atten ing their meetings
Mat for while he had to be watched
by his brothers of the church, but
finally he quieted down and sought out
there spent his days and nights reading
the Bible.
Several days ago Mayor M. M. Sweet
of Washburn received a queer note from
Wegelius. In the note the Roller stated
that he had suddenly been tlessed with
religion and that he must confess to a
crime. He told of two crimes wherein
he had beaten to death a young man
of 18 years and an elderly man. He
said he had used a marlin spike to do
the killing and that he had not realized
the gravity of tie crime until he re-
ceived religion rom the Rollers. A
fact that Wegelius had once lived at
Washburn. but no such crimes as de-
scribed by him could be traced.
Mayor Sweet then wrote to police
headquarters in Los Angeles and stated
that a religious fanatic was bothering
him about an legged crime that had
never been committed.
Wegelius was traced to a lodging
house on East First street. He refused
to open the doors for the officers and
they were compelled to force an en-
trance. They found him kneeling or
the floor and praying. On table be-
fore him he had miniature represen-
tation of a marlin skike.
Time after time he prayed to the
spike and begged forgiveness for his
imaginary crimes.
The man will be >-raigned in the
superior court this morning and will
probably be examined this afternoon
on the insanity charge.
