Roiestvensly. whose trial on the

FOR STEALING
JEWELS FROM THE DEAD

LOS ANGELES. Sept. 21.-Detec-
tive w. w. Freeman has arrested En-
ma Howard, alias Emma Stokes, for
a theft of diamonds valued at more
than $4,000 from Henry Briggs, of
Pasadena. The robbery took place
August Goth, but no intimatiOn has
been given out before this that the
gems were missing.
Behind the story of the theft Of the
diamonds is a strange tale so weird
that it is almost past belief. The jew
els We're stolen from the body of the
late Mrs. Briggs, at Santa Monica.
Mrs. Briggs had been in failing health.
and finally her husband decided to
take her to Santa Monica in the hope
that the sea air would save her life.
After an illness of weeks, however,
she died suddenly.
Her husband was not in a condition
at the time of her death to pay much
attention to worldly matters, and Mrs.
Howard, with whom the Briggs were
living and in whose Santa Monica
boarding house Mrs. Briggs died, took
the jewels from the person of the dead
woman. She evidently had doubts as
to their value but when a Santa Mon
lea jeweler told her they were worth
over $4,000 she at once schemed to
make away with them.
She had the jewels in her possess
sion but a short time when she dis
sopeared, taking the stones with her.

Railway Commission May Announce
L Next Week.
APPLIES TO ALL ROADS IN the STATE
CUT is PROFESSIONALLY 20 PER
CENT ALL DOWN The
LINE.

OLYMPIA, Wash. Sept. 21.-From
private sources was reliably learned
the new maximum distance tariff is
to be announced within the next week
by the Washington railway commits
sion and to apply to all railroads
within the borders of this state.
The o. r. & n. lines in Oregon will
be virtually obliged to adopt the same
schedule also. The figures follow:
First class-Five miles or under. ten
cents per hundred pounds; for each
five miles thereafter up to 20. four
cents additional; for each five miles
thereafter to 90, three cents addition
al; for each thereafter to 500, two
cents additional: for each five miles
thereafter to 400 one cent additional;
after 400 miles. two cents additional
for each ten miles.
Second class-Eighty-f percent Of
first class rate.
Third class-Seventy per cent of
first class rate.
Fourth class-Sixty per cent.
Fifth class-F'ifty per cent of first
class rate.
Glass A merchandise-Fifty percent
of first class rate. Glass B-Forty-
five percent Glass C-Thirty per-
cent. Glass D-Twenty- percent.
Glass E-Thirty per cent.
On the first four classes, the rate
applies on less than carload lots; on
the rest it applies to car shipments.
The tariff is under western classifi-
cation rules.
Thus the tariff on first class COM
modities for 100 miles amounts to so
cents. as compared with the old tariff
of IS cents, making Is per cent cut.
The cut is about proportional all
down the line, 20 percent. however.
being the minimum reduction made.
The entire tariff represents maxi
mum. In other words. Washington
railways will be permitted to charge
no more, while they may reduce the
schedule as much as they desire.
