SPENT MONEY FREELY
Bell Boy At Hotel Lacey Approp'
rates $I22.3o

Ed Lomack, aged eighteen years, a
colored boy employed as night bell
hop at the Hotel Lacey, had the time
of his life yesterday on $l22.30, which
he is accused of appropriating from
the safe in the Office of the hotel, the
money belonging to one of the guests
who had left it in the iron box for
safe keeping. Early yesterday morn.

jewelry store where he purchased
gold watch, chain and charm, amount

Clothiers, where he purchased a if
teen dollar suit and an overcoat.
When w. L. Beattie examined the
safe yesterday morning he discovered
that the money was gone. Lomack
seemed to be flushed with money and
suspicion fell on him. He was shad-
owed and after it seemed certain he
had the stolen money Mr.. Beattie tel.
ephoned for the officers. Officer Ed
Henley started out on the chase and
arrested Lomack about one O'Clock
this morning at the hotel. Eighty
eight dollars of the stolen money was
found on him. He was taken to jail
where he spent the night When
arraigned before Justice Bacon this
morning upon the charge of grand lar
ceny he admitted stealing the money.
On default of bonds he was sent to
jail to await the action of the grand
jury.
The boy had no trouble in securing
the money. Manager Beattie, who
took up his duties at the hotel few
days ago. did not know the combina-
ton of the safe and instead of lock-
ing it he pushed the door to-.

FAILS TO LAND PASSENGERS
Asiatic Immigrant Ship Arrives at
Vancouver

Ottpwa,y Ont, Sept. 13.-Advices
from Vancouyer,st scene OF the re-
cent race riots, state that the mayor
of Vancouver has warned the captain
of the steamer Monteagle, which has
on board ia Japanese, 149 Chinese
and e41 Hindus destined for this port,
that he would be unable to guarantee
a safe landing here because the un-
ionists have expressed their deter
mination to resist the immigration OF
any more Asiatic laborers.
The steamship authorities feared to
assume the risk and the vessel was
turned back to Victoria, where nearly
all of the Japanese We're landed. Re-
turning to Vancouver the dock was
roped off for two blocks and heavily
guarded by company employees and
police and an attempt was made to
land the Hindus. An immense crowd
had gathered and the officials were
afraid to let the Hindus face the
crowd alone They were returned to
the ship.
The white labor unions have served
thirty days notice on employers OF
Orientals to replace foreigners with
white labor A refusal is to be met
with strikes and boycotts.

New York, Sept. 13.-The Amalga-
mated Copper company is about to
shut down its mines In and about
Butte, Mont, for an Indefinite period.
From an interest closely identified
with the company 1t, was learned that
the suspension pf operations is due
to overproduction and lack of demand
for copper and to some extent also to
the difficulties of obtaining adequate
supplies Of fuel at Butte.
According to the authority for the
announcement there Is now a surplus
supply of 250,000,000 pounds of refined
copper in the United States The pro-
duction of refined copper in Septem-
ber, he said, would be 6,000,0 900 pounds
less than in August. The present
price as quoted in the market is about
l6 cents a pound for electrolytic, but
according to the authority referred to
it is doubtful If 15 cents a pound
could be obtained for any consider
able quantity.
The Amalgamated Copper company

stock market, the stock selling down
to a loss of almost 4 points before

break of 81 a share to the lowest
price ON record. This was accom-
panied by rumors that the company

that therefore a receivership will be
necessary
There are 100000 shares of Phila-

Ing on which $3.50 share has been
paid. Another assessment of $3.50 is

Of the Tribesmen Killed.

Casa Blanca, Sept 13.--The allied
Franco-Spanish army has made sud
den and successful move on Taddert,
where the Moors We're massed In
force. The camp Of the latter was
destroyed by bombardment and the
enemy was put to fight, leaving many
dead on the field The French lost
one man killed and six men wounded.
The attack was carefully planned
and was based largely on the obser-
vations of the Moors' position from
the military balloon. The allied army,
which was divided into two columns,
left the camp at 6 O'Clock in the morn
ing, leaving several companies of in
fantry to defend the base at Casa
Blanca The march was skilfully
carried out under the cover of fog
until half way to Taddert, when the
fog lifted and disclosed several large
bands of the enemy. The allies then
charged at the point of the bayonet
and although the Moors resisted with
their old time courage they were
finally compelled to retreat in the
face OF a superior force and both OF
the columns Of allied troops advanced
on Taddert
After the bombardment OF that place
by the French artillery as well as by
the guns of the French cruiser Gloire,
which fired seventy-five shells, the al
lied infantry advanced on the Moorish
camp. where the enemy was making
a last desperate stand A short en-.
gaeement followed and the Moors fed
In wild disorder, pursued for several
miles by the irregular Algeyisn caW
airy In the French services The Moor.
ish camp was completely destroyed.
The exact loss of the Moors is not
known, as they carried away many OF
their dead The ellied army returned
to Cass Blanca.
When the Moors saw tlssir cansR In
flames they set FIRE to aft the farms
and woods they could reach and soon
the country surrounding Taddert was
covered with smoke and flames
General Drude, who has recovered
from his attack of fever, personally
conducted the military operations.
