DECLARE MALICE
PROMPTED ARREST
BY Associated Press.


SAN DIEGO, Aug. flat the request
of the government depositions are be-
ing taken locally in the case of Imml-
grafton Inspector w. H. Hutchins, who
was arrested below the line and sub
iected to imprisonment from which he
was released as soon as the court
looked into the case.
The immigration department claims
that his arrest was part of conspiracy
on the part of Mexican rurale, a
Mexican Judge and saloonkeeper do
ing business below the line and who are
also suspected Of being in the Chinese
smuggling business.
They wanted to get the inspector out
of the way, and so the rurale arrested
him and the district Judge sent him to
Bnsenada. Meanwhile the conspirators
tried to run six Chinese across the line
but failed. The Washington authori-
ties took the matter UP with the gov
ernment of Mexico and the order for the
depositions is the result.

of a special officer in the employ of
the Kinney company, with Miss Mum
son, who is her cousin, and Miss
Elizabeth Peltret had been bathing and
were splashing in the canal when Miss

three who could not swim, stepped
beyond her depth and disappeared
from sight.

NEW YORK DEMOCRATS
WANT NONE OF HEARST
By Associated Press.

NEW YORK. Aug 27.-The Evening
Post today announces that a number
of independent Democrats have signed
and issued another circular calling a
conference at Albany September 5, at
which every county in the state will
be represented.
The circular announces that ad-
dresses will be made to this conference
by District Attorney w. T. Jerome
and that others have been invited to
speak. including Major j. N. Adam Of
Buffalo, Edward M. Shepard of Brook
lyn and D. Cady Herrick.
The Post says 1t is evident that from
the wording of the call the independent
Democrats who have issued it are
against Hearst and that their attitude
toward Jerome is Indicated by the fact
that he will adddess them.
The circular says also that there
is danger that the party will fall a
prey 'either to selfish corporate in
fiuences, to some unpripcipled dema-
gogue without fixed political principles,
or to some clique of unscrupulous
politicians without any political princi-
pies whatever"

Mrs. Fred Cook Shot
and Killed Near
Sherman
Passengers on Electric
Witness Awful
Tragedy
Slayer Believed to Be Divorced Hus-
band of Victim, Who Was For-
nerIy Assistant to Matron
at Detention Home

Mrs. Jennie Cook, who has been until
home, was shot and almost instantly
killed last night on a Santa Monica
car, city bound, by her companion, be-
lieved by the police to be her divorced
husband, Fred D. Cook, a plasterer.
After firing one shot into the head
of the unfortunate woman the murderer
grappled with one of the passengers
who attempted to bar his retreat and
also fired at him, the shot going wild.
The murderer then rushed by the
startled conductor and leaped from the
rear platform into the darkness while
the car was going at a high rate of
speed.
The motorman stopped his car as
soon as possible after hearing the
shooting and, together with the con-
ductor and the coura geous passenger
who had attempted to arrest the man.
they went back along the track to see
if by chance the man had fallen and
so injured himself as to be unable to
escape.
Finding no signs of the murderer the
conductor telephoned the news O. the
tragedy into the city from the nearest
telephone box and then ordered the car
to be speeded to the terminus of the
Los Angeles-Pacifc Railway company
in West Fourth street.
Brings Grewsonae Freight
Upon the arrival of the car with its
ghastly freight, detectives from the
central station viewed the body and
made arrangements to have it taken TO
Bresee Bros, to await Identification.
A morbid crowd awaited the arrival
of car No. 239, on which the tragedy
occurred, and many tried to force their
way upon the platforms to stare into
the darkened Interior where the figure
of a woman was dimly seen hudded
against one o. the seats on the left
side of the coach, her blood slowly
trickling against the cushion and stain
ing the floor.
Two unidentified passengers who sat
on the front end back of the motor
man, slipped away without being ques-
toned.
L. P. Bishop, living at the Los An
geles hotel in Seventh street, told the
story of the tragedy in a graphic man
ner. He said:
II was sitting in about the middle of
the car and noticed in a general way
the couple sitting slightly in front of
me. They were talking together in
an undertone and gave no sign of
quarreling.
II finally saw them change their seat
from the right to the left and still
thought nothing of it.

ATTORNEYS
Frank Hoffman, Also Jointly Accused
of Husbands Murder, May Have
Opportunity of Another
Trial
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY, Aug. Ex-Governor
Folk at Jefferson City today granted
a respite until october 26 to Mrs. Agnes
Myers, now in Jail at Liberty, awaiting
execution for the murder of her hus-
band
A similar respite was granted to
Frank Hoffman.
Both were previously sentenced to be
hanged on September 8. Governor
Folk granted the respite so that the
womans attorneys might have time in
which to perfect their appeal to the
supreme court of the United States.
No effort was made on behalf of Hott-
man. the latter being content in the
belief that he would share whatever
clemency was shown the woman.
Counsel for Mrs. Myers applied to
Judge Burgess of the state supreme
court for review and final determina-
fion, Judge Burgess stated that be-
cause of the absence from the city of
Judge Grant 1t would not Nbe pos
sible to act on the application to Gov
ernor Folk for a respite, that they
might apply to the federal court for an
order to transfer the case there for
review. The governor, in the course
of the morning, had received dozens
of kilograms from various parts of the
state asking him to grant a respite,
and when the case was formally pre-
sented to him by the attorneys he
readily assented, giving Hoffman SINH
lar consideration.
Mrs. Agnes Myers and Frank Hott-
man murdered Clarence Myers, the wo-
mans husband, on May IL, 1904, that
they might marry.

. TEN INDICTMENTS
TOTAL OF 6428 COUNTS ARE
FOUND
First and Second Federal Grand

dence of a Startling
Nature
By Associated Press.

by ASSOCldLeu fItSS'
CHICAGO, Aug. 27.-The first and
second federal grand juries today re-
turned ten indictments against the
Standard Oil company before Judge
Bethea in the United States circuit
court. The indictments, which con-
tain 6428 counts, are all in connection
with the granting of rebates.
No railroad was mentioned in the in
dictments returned today.
Each of the 6428 counts in the ten in
dictments covers an alleged offense and
is based on a tank car shipment of pc
troleum products from the ref1neries at
Whiting, Ind.
According to statement issued aft
er the indictments had been returned
from the office of the United States
district attorney these shipments were
carried by the following roads:
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy; Chi
cago & Eastern Illinois, Evansville &
Terre Haute, Illinois Central and Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern.
According to this statement the Bur-
lington and Alton roads had published
lawful rates of 18 cents per 100 pounds
to East st. Louis from Whiting and
1914 cents to st. Louis, but carried OF
for the Standard Oil company on a
secret unpublished rate at 6 and IN
cents to those points respectively"
The statement then continues:
Other Concessions
ION shipments to points in the south
beyond Grand Junction, the Standard
Oil company should have paid the diff
ferent lawful rates for the different
points of destination, but was given
concessions which averaged about q
per cent of the published rate.
1.-THE same is true of shipments han
died by the Chicago e. Eastern Illinois
and Evansville & Terre Haute to
Evansville, Ind, and points beyond.
THE concessions given to the Stand
ard OIL company by the Lake Shore
& Michigan Southern road were in the
shape of cancellations of storage
charges at Chicago of five cents per ton
per day on all oil delayed in delivery.
"Other oil shippers were compelled to
pay the storage charges.
THE charges against the Illinois Gen.
trail ana the southern roads are the
made to points beyond Grand juno
tion."
1t was stated by the district attor-
neys office that the penalty for each
offense alleged in the indictments is a
fine CT not less than $1,000 nor more
than $4,000. 1t is believed by the gov
eminent attorneys that the lawyers for
the Standard Oil company will enter
the appearance of the corporation In
court as soon as they have examined
the indictments.
There Is no authority at present al
lowing the arrest of the officers of a
corporation against which indictments
have been found.
