ACCUSE STANTZ
OF BLACKMAIL
OHl0ANS MAKE ALLEGATIONS
AGAINST B0NIFACE
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 unsuccessful 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 a 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 $1700 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 cash settlement of $2500 and
Scott compromised by paying him S170Q
The Stantzes then disappeared.
The police took up the case on SCOTS
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.

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 Gooding positively refuses
to give out any information respecting
the arrest of Charles II. Meyer and
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
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 disap-
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.

BIG FIRE
IMPERILS
BLOCKS
Los Angeles Street Firms
Suffer Heavy Loss
From Flames

Fire at 2 o'clock this morning threat.
ened big area In the Los Angeles
who Iesae district.
II started on the east side Of Los
Angeles street between Second and
Third.
The Standard Woodenware Co.,
6rownsteIn, Newmark G. Louis and the
HawIey-klng Carriage company were
the first firms to suffer.
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 a time 1t
was feared that the whole building and
contents would be consumed.
AS near as could be learned at 2:30
o'clock the damage will not exceed
$4,000, Of which $4,000 is covered by in
surance.
The entire contents of the main build
ing, together with the structure, is said
to be insured for $4,000.
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
a 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 a quicker
headway seems strange, because most
of the nearby engines companies were
busily engaged at the Raphael fire at
Fifth and Main streets.
AS many Of the companies as could
be spared were detached from the earl
ier fire and were sent posthaste to the
Los Angeles street blaze.
The early arrivals seeing the danger
that threatened at once called for help
and all the available companies were
sent into the new fire zone.
Because of the other fire and the
Sunday night crowds, the throng of
bystanders was greater than usual and
every moment as the glare lit up the
skies, more spectators began gather
ing.
The police department suspected that
some firebugs were at work and all
patrolmen who could be reached were
brought in from the outlying districts
to make a dragnet of suspects and all
characters who cannot explain their

BARRY BLAMEs UNloNISTS
This Country Must Rectify Abuses
Declares Manufacturer
Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. 1S.-D.
NJ. 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-
ditions to attempt to enter into a
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
ent deplorable condition of our rela-
tions with China.
mot only has the boycott enforced
by that country almost destroyed our
trade, but there is even talk of war as
the outcome of the situation.
"Organized labor is solely responsible
for the destruction of this trade and
will be solely responsible for any re-
course to arms to quell disturbances
that may grow out of present condi-
tions.
Yield to Agtators
"Our government, yielding to labor
obligations with China in the past, but
has also for years, through it's immi-
grafton department given an admins
tration of the exclusion laws that is a
disgrace to a civilized nation.
"The facts being developed as to
the indignities heaped upon the Chinese
travellers, officers and merchants visit
ing this country. and the outrages per-
petrated from time to time on Chinese
subjects by government officials are
simply amazing. Also 1t must not be
forgotten that the labor unions on the
Pacific coast have actively maintained
a boycott not only against Chinese labor
being employed. but also against all
goods made by Chinese :
rs II a matter of wonder then that
the Chinese should now In turn resort
TO the boycott.
I'm the present situation there is only
one honorable course for this country
to pursue and that is to rectify present
abuses and make them impossible in
the future We cannot complain
against 'heathen' practices as long as

MISSIONARIES CABLE THEIR
HOME BOARDS
Situation Is Preearlous but Men on
Ground Know How to Dis
cern Danger and Give
Warning
Rv Associated Press.

nv Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Feb. 1S.-Tn view of the
many disturbing reports appearing II
the public press concerning the condi-
tions in China and the possibility OF
further outbreaks such as those al
IienchoN and Shanghai, and the conse-
uuent 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 Tsn, North China; Nangking
Central China; Chung King, West
China, and Foo Chow, for the Foe
Chow and Hinghua missions.
These cablegrams were sent or
Thursday February Is and 16. That tc
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 Cables
The bishops cablegram, dated Feb.
ruary 16, is reassuring. 1t is as fol
lows:
"All are safe in China. No danger
"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 Iinghue
quiet"
Chung King-"All quiet"
Not a letter received recently at the
missionary office from any Methodis
missionary in China speaks of any
trouble or excitement among tht
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 tranquil state an6
the leaven of western ideas is working
the mass, some of the ferment is tC
be expected but any general uprising
such as the Boxer uprising, is not very
probable.
1.-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 MOI
only upon the dynasty, but upon the
empire itself if the terrible scenes o1
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 mer
and women of large experience and
know how to DISCERN signs of coming
danger. 1t is safe to rely on theil
judgment.
"Bshop 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"

out of six starts had been third once.
Now, Kinsman had been second twice
and third twice Where did he belong
Was he too bad for the good division
or was he too good for the bad
division?
Gentlemen, we state the facts to you.
The condition of the track was ordered
changed. The only horses that have
lot had their weights raised in handi-
caps after winning are Rubric, Alencon,
Fireball. The horses most favored by
the special conditions of the races are
Fireball, Alencon, Silver Sue, Wee
Lass and Theo Case. The treatment
of owners who met some of your di-
rectors on January 10 has been differ
ent since that date.
We feel that we voice the sentiment
of the majority of owners in stating
that should the meeting close with the
present feeling among horsemen toward
the management, that neither the ma
jority of the eastern owners por the
better class of western stables would
return another year and that your
track would lose the confidence Of
horsemen and public in general.
Gentlemen, we appeal to you for the
protection of your own property, for
the safety of racing at Ascot and for
justice to ourselves"
The statement is signed by C. T.
Boots, j. j. McCafferty and Henry
Mcdaniel.
The Match Race
F. B. Van Meter, owner of Hand
zarra, was asked regarding the charge
that Brooks had given the order to flood
the track and harrow it on the night
before the match race between Bear
catcher, Handzarra and Cruzados and
he said:
II was informed after the races on
the day before the match race that
Brooks had issued an order to the as
sistant to Superintendent Glass to flood
the track and harrow it and keep the
roller off of it.
Knowing that Handzarra could not
run in heavy going and that her chances
of winning would be absolutely ruined
If the order was carried out, 1 ap'
pealed to George Rose to have the
order countermanded.
Rose and Judge Hamilton took 4
fup Immediately afterward, I under
stand, and the order was revoked ant
the track, which was lightning fast the
night before the race, was practically
in the same condition next day Thai
is all the information 1 can give you
on the subject"
The news of the order having been
issued caused great indignation among
the horsemen at Ascot, but was not
given out to the public. This formed
the basis of the first ill-feeling between
the horsemen and the manager of the
race course.
The second act of Brooks which
famed the flame of wrath against him
was the posting Of a notice in the pad
dock a few weeks ago to the effect
that horsemen and trainers should
cease criticising the assignment of
weights in handicaps and stakes. The
notice is as follows:
