ACCUSE STANTZ
OF BLACKMAIL
0HI0ANS MAKE ALLEGATIONS
AGAINST BONIFACE
Shooting at Pomona Leads Eastern
Officials to Revive Charges Against
Man and Wife for Alleged Con-
nection With Badger Game

Special to The Herald.
CANTON, Ohio, Feb. 1S.-After three
months unsuc cessful search the police
of this city learned the location OF
Homer Stantz when the news came
from Pomona, Cal, that he had been
shot by his wife.
Stantz-if he is the same man-is
wanted here on a charge of blackmail
and had been fugitive from Justice
for three months.
The police show by their records that
about the first of November William
Scott, living near Massillon, reported
to them that he had been beaten out
of $17O0 by one Stantz and his wife
by means of the old badger game.
Scott says that Mrs. Stantz persuaded
him to leave his own wife and daugh-
ter and go with her by an alleged
arrangement between Stantz and his
wife.
Stantz made the discovery that Scott
and Mrs. Stantz had been together at
a New Philadelphia hotel. He de-
manded a cash settlement of $500 and
Scott compromised by paying him $1700
The Stainless then disappeared.
The police took up the case on SCOTS
complaint, made the charge of black
mail against Stantz and for three
months have been trying to locate him.
Mrs. Scott has since secured a di-
vorce OH account of the escapade in
which her husband figured.

The Standard Woodenware Co.,

Firebugs are thought by the police
to be responsible.
The fire broke out in the rear or the
STANDARD Woodenware company's store
at 230-234 South Los Angeles street this
morning about 1880, and for time IL
was feared that the whole building and

$4,000, of which $4,000 is covered by in

The entire contents of the main build

to be insured for $S5,000
The fire started in the new two
story addition in the rear Of the main
building and for time was confined
to that structure.
Six engines were on the scene within
few moments and as many lines of
hose carried streams of water onto
the buring stock of an inflammable
character, every possible effort was put
forth to keep the fire confined in the
rear building.
The fire. was discovered by officer
Block. He was passing the Los An
geles street neighborhood when a glare
caught his eye.
A moment later, with loud deton-
alton, the glass broke out and he felt
burst of flame that warned him that
a quick action was necessary. He ran
to the nearest fire alarm box
That the fire did not gain quicker

new company, which is to be formed to

The mines of Clark have proved enor-

be only had at very high price.

GOVERNOR REFUSES TO TALK

That Detectives Movements

BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
PORTLAND, Ore, Feb. 1S.-A spe-
cial dispatch to the Oregonian from
Boise, Idaho, says:
Governor Goodlng positively refuses
to give out any information respecting
the arrest of Charles H. Meyer ana
Charles b. Haywood of Denver. The
officer who went from here to make
the arrest was Deputy Warden j. c..
Mills, jr., of the state penitentiary.
When he left is not even stated For
weeks the Officers have been absolutely
non-committal on the entire subject.
They have intimated from time to
time that they might have something
after awhile, but they have taken the
ground that any intimation of what
they were working on might prejudice
the interests of the Judge, and all has
been successfully guarded.
Judge MCFARLAND, the PinISerton
manager at Denver, was here until
about a week ago, and then dsap-
peared. Others known to be working
on the case have been absent from
Boise for weeks. Capt Swain returned
to Boise from Spokane a few days
ago and then disappeared"

CHINA CONDITIONS
MORE REASSUR|NG
MISSIONARIES CABLE THEIR
HOME BOARDS
Situation Is PreearIous but Men on
Ground Know How to Dis
Germ Danger and Give
Warning
~ Associated Presa.

Nv Associated ETeBS
NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-In view of the
many disturbing reports appearing in
the public press concerning the condi-
lions in China and the possibility of
further outbreaks such as those at
I,ienchoM and Shanghai, and the conse-
quent anxiety of relatives and friends
OF missionaries in China, the secre-
tary of the missionary society of the
Methodist Episcopal church sent cable
grams Of inquiry to Bishop Bashford
at Shanghai and also to representatives
of the several missions Of that church
at Tien Tsin, North China; NanglSing,
Central China: Chung King, West
China, and Foo Chow, for the Foo
Chow and Hinghua missions
These cablegrams were sent on
Thursday, February Is and 16. That to
Bishop Bashford covered all the Meth
odist missions in China. He recently
returned from an official visit to the
West China mission, coming down the
river through the Central China mis-
sion, whose chief stations are on the
Yang Use. In the late fall he spent
some weeks in the Foo Chow and
Hanghua missions in the south, where
there has been the most agitation
among the Chinese people
Reassuring Gables
The bishops cablegram, dated Feb
ruary 16, is reassuring. 1t is as fol-
lows:
"All are safe in China. No danger
apparent.
"BASHFORD."
The responses from the mission
treasurers in North, Central, Western
and Southern China, dated February
IT, are of like tenor to that from the
bishop.
Tien Tsin-"No disturbances. Safe"
Nangking-"No trouble anywhere"
Foo Chow-"Foo Chow and Hinghua
quiet"
Chung King-"All quiet"
Not letter received recently at the
missionary office from any Meth odist
missionary in China speaks of any
trouble or excitement among the
Chinese people or expresses an appre-
hension of an outbreak.
The secretary of the missionary So
ciety added to the foregoing statement
the following:
In Tranquil State
"As China is in a tranquil state and
the leaven of western ideas is working
the mass, some of the ferment is to
be expected, but any general uprising,
such as the Boxer uprising is not very
probable.
"The veteran missionary, DR.. Arthur
Smith, author of China in Convulsion,'
expects some trouble and sporadic out
breaks, but does not believe that the
awful tragedy of 1900 can be repeated.
"The government of China knows
that the vengeance of the foreign ma
tions would fall with terrific force not
only upon the dynasty but upon the
empire itself if the terrible scenes of
1900 were re-enacted.
1.-THE situation is delicate and calls
for prudence on the part of the mis-
sionaries and precautionary measures
by the societies. The missionaries are
on the ground, many of them are men
and women of large experience and
know how to discern signs of coming
danger. 1t is safe to rely on their
judgment
Bishop Bashford is in Shanghai
keeping careful watch over the safety
of our missionaries. He will be quick
to see signs of danger and give warn
ing"

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb 1S.-D.
M. Parry, president of the National
Association of Manufacturers, said to-
day that the board of directors of the
organization had adopted a resolution
on the Chinese exclusion subject as
prepared by a special committee of the
membership.
This resolution states that it is
deemed ineXpedient. under present con-

treaty with China as to immigration
and calls upon congress to adopt such
legislation as shall correct present evils
and restore friendly relations with
China
"Organized labor" said Mr.. Parry
"has much to answer for in the pres

mot only has the boycott enforced
by that country almost destroyed our
