San Francisco, July 14.-Detectives
today are searching every corner OF
the city for Peter Claudianes, Greek
aged 81. who is implicated in the dy-
namitlng of the houses OF James Gal
lagher, the chief witness Of the graft
prosecution, by remarkable confess
sion made by his brother John. who
says he himself actually exploded the
charges OF dynamite.
His confession was made Saturday
night, but was guarded in the hope
OF catching Peter, who John accuses
OF making the deal with the Other
people to kill Gallagher for money.
He says he was to receive $4,000 as
his share OF the blood money. but he
did not get It and that is the reason
he confessed.
He went over the ground with Dis
trict Attorney Langdon in Oakland,
pointed to the caches where they had
hidden the dynamite before the ex-
plosion.
I'VE used 80 pounds OF dynamite
for this job" said the Greek, pointing
TO the wrecked vestibule OF the CAL
lagher home.
He then went to the scene OF the
other explosion on Perkins and Bel
mont streets, where three empty
houses belonging to Gallagher, we're
blown up.
I'VE used 80 pounds OF dynamite
here" he said.
He declared that after failing to
kill Gallagher they decided 10 destroy
his property. He said they bought
their dynamite in Arizona and that
ne got $40 daily for watching the
house in Oakland.
The prisoner was trapped through
a letter written by him to his brother
in Chinco Cal, threatening to expose
the plot unless the money was for
warded.

but that the flood was caused by wa
ter from severe rain storm rushing
down Donaldson canyon into Willow
creek, where freshets from two or
three small canyons united and rails
ed Willow creek sufficiently to flood
the power plant.
According to the Times there was
no damage to residences and no wa
ter entered parlors, running carpets
and furniture as reported.
The people Of the Morrow county
capital were naturally alarmed when
the threatening clouds gatherd over
the hills adjacent to the city late in
the evening and practically all OF the
city was on the lookout for the minia-
ture flood when II came.

PONIEROY GOES DRY.

A dispatch to the Walla Walla
Union from PomerOy Wash, this
morning was TO the effect that the
held i'm that city yesterday by SS
votes. This election was one of the
most stubbornly fought by both sides
ever experienced in that state and
much interest throughout that section
of the inland empire was aroused by
the bitterness of the campaign. There
are five saloons in Pomeroy. but just
when they would go out of business
could not be learned last night.

that is now ready for harvest on the
land involved.
But this Is but an incidental mat
ter, so the supporters Of Major Nc
Partridge say. According to them the
important point is that the agent has
been upheld by both Messrs. Leupp
and Garfield and that henceforth he
will be "in charge" at the agency
and that all men will look alike to
Uncle Sam.
Roy Peringers Side of the Story.
This afternoon Roy Peringer, the
young man involved in the ownership
of the leases in question, stated his
side of the reservation matter, as fol-
lows:
"One Of the alleged questions in
volved in the law suit just started, as
stated by the opposition, is can Geo.
Peringer rent more than $40 acres of
land upon the reservation?
such a question has nothing what
ever to do with this suit. The only
question is, Has the secretary of the
interior authority to modify a lease
made between Indian lessons and their
lessees?'
"The secretary, after carefully con-
sidering the whole case in conjunc-
ton with his first assistant, Mr..
Pierce, an able lawyer from Salt Lake
city, decided that l was entitled to
some equitable consideration and af-
ter a conference between the secre-
tary, Mr.. Pierce and the second as
sistant secretary, Mr.. Wilson, it was
decided to modify the approval of the
three leases covering the crops grow
ing upon the lands which 1 had
sowed.
Two of the leases had already been
approved but the other had not and
has not yet been approved, according
to Superintendent McFatridge.
THAT the secretary has the author
ity to modify a lease which has not
been approved is a settled fact. He
clearly stated this fact to me in an
interview which 1 had with him on
Saturday evening after the reception.
That he may not have the authority
to modify an approved lease, is the
only question which is at issue in this
suit.
"The leases were disapproved up

"If the soft drink houses of this
city where near beer and other of the
alleged temperance drinks are sold,
will forbid children and especially
half-grown boys, from patronizing
their places and refuse to sell these
drinks to the boys, they will make a
