POLICE ARREST SUSPECT
Alfred George. u Waiter. Believed to
BE Implicated i'm Alexander
ShoOting-Other Arrests.

Alfred George. alias Fred George.
until recently employed at the Pacific
Grill as a waiter, was arrested by Of
ticers Millican and Kenyon Thurs
day afternoon, upon suspicion of hay
ing held up and shot George Alexan-
der. upon the night of November IS,
at the corner of West Yakima avenue
and Eighth avenue. George is held
in the county Jail. James Walker,
alleged to be an accomplice of George,
is also in custody
Georges infatuation for young
girl living in this city led to his un-
doing. 4 letter which the police be-
lieve to have been written by George
to a young lady friend in this city
furnished the clue which led to his
arrest. Suspicion pointed to George
from the first and he has been under
police surveillance since the commits
sion OF the crime In the letter,
which is in the possession of the pc.
lice. George stated. evidently refer
ring to the shooting of Alexander, so
the police assert. that they tried
hard to get him but he showed fight
and they had to shoot" The letter
was lost by George before he had an
opportunity to mail it. 1t was pick
ed up on the Northern Pacific depot
platform by conductor, who turn
ed the letter oyer to officer Kenyon
of the police department BY the
| means OF decoy letters damaging ad-
| missions were gained and the arrest
OF George followed.
George was closeted with Prose
cutting Wende Thursday aft0sAoon
and put through rigid sweating
He is friend OF George Rothrock
land Ray Todhunter. the Pendleton
Ore, youths serving a sentence in the
county Jail for stealing turkeys upon
Thanksgiving eve. He visited Tod
hunter and Rothrock in the county
Jail. Walker is said to have been
employed at the Yakima hotel. The
| manager of that place refused to af-
firm or deny the report The theory
is advanced that in the incarceration
of the quartet the police have the
members of a gang which engaged in
series of holdups in this city.
George is about 23 years of age
and has been in this city over a
month. He formerly lived at Baker
City, Ore. For the past two weeks
he has been employed as waiter
in the Pacific Grill. He spent most
of his time around the hotel when
not working. 1t is believed that he
has criminal record. His father
recently visited him in this city and
endeavored to persuade him to re-
turn home. Friends OF Georges say
that he has led "a wandering exist
ence for the past eight years. not be-
ing home in that time. He was dis
charged by Manager Fred Rosen-
stock of the Pacific Grill on suspicion
of being connected with the theft of
$40 from the cash register last Mon
day afternoon.
The arrest of George by the police
department is the result of clever
piece of detective work. 1t is beliey-
ed that the evidence now in the pos
session of the police will be sufficient
to convict. Little is known of Walk
er's past. He is an alleged compan-
ion and accomplice OF George. Other
arrests and developments are expect
ed in the case.

ENGLISH FRUIT.
William Crossiey, One OF Worlds
Larses: Exporters, Makes Visit
to Yakima.

Opening new market for Yakima
fruit William Crossley. of the Bis
fruit exporting firm of d. Crussley
& Sons of New York Liverpool and
Glasgow, is visiting for few days
in North Yakima and vicinity aAd
arranging for shipments OF peaches
pears and apples OF the crop OF 1919
through his firm. as we'll as securing
three carloads of the 1908 fruit.
The visit of the exporter to the
Yakima valley opens a practically
new market for Yakima apples in
Scotland and in Erg end, ana ;lso
brings new market for peaches and
pears grown in this section.
The house will be represented IN
the valley by regularly employed
agent. VINO will arrange carload s.li,'-
ments of the finest Yakima fruit
part of which will be sold in eastern
cities and part of which will go across
the waters. Ii is not anticipated that
peaches can be handled to the Brit
fish Isles, but there IS Il certainty thay
pears and apples will find their wa
to English and Scottish tables.
William Crossle. IS the exporter
that secured the Wenatchee prize car
OF apples from the national apple
show. and while at the Yakima ho.e,
Friday evening made some comments
about the scoring that was made be-
tween the first prize car and that ex-
hibited by II. NJ. Gilbert. which took
second prize. He said that he con
sidered the pack by the Yakima
ranched an excellent one. but that he
felt that the Wenatchee exhibit de-
served the prize it was awarded,
though by very narrow margin
When asked as to the varieties
of apples his firm desired to handle,
he said that the Yellow Newtown
was the English favorite. that it suit
ed the palate of the English people
and would always be the apple for
the British market. For New York
and other eastern markets, the apple
man says high colored red apples are
wanted, especially Winesaps. Suitzen-
bergs and Jonathans.
That Winesaps and Ionathans
grow to perfection in the Yakima
valley and especially in the Zillah
section is the statement made by the
fruit man.. Spitzenberg and YelloW
Newtown varieties, he says. reached
their highest point in Hood River,
while Wenatchee is also section for
the growing of those two varieties.
What the people of the Yakima
valley need is a uniform pack of APP
PIES" said Mr.. Crossley. and they
must have it to secure the best prices
for their fruit.
You have no uniform pack now.
Open a box. and there are four-tier
apples and iive-tier apples in the
same box II spells the shipment.
You can't get good prices on such
shipments.
THE Yakima valley should follow
the example of Hood River in this
regard. They put out perfect pack,
aud when they say they send out fan
cy apples. they are the best. There
should be two classes of fruit for
shipment. fancy and choice. and only
those two. The rest should not be
sent out to spoil the market for your
products.
II expect to be present at the meet
ing of the fruit growers tomorrow
and understand they propose to do

ing charge for projectiles that has
been discovered anywhere in the
world.
After three years experiment and
exhaustive tests, the ordnance experts
have evolved Explosive D." which, it
is claimed, is proof from. explosion
when the %projectile leaves the gun,
and which remains uneXploded until
the projectile pierces the armor or OBJ.
ject at which it is directed. 1t then

Japan had her "shimosi" during the
Russo-Japanese war, but it proved a
failure in that the material was not
able to Withstand the shock given to
the projectile when it left the gun, or
when it struck the object aimed at.
AS far as is known, the United States
is ahead of the world as regards this
discovery, and, having conceived the
misunderstanding substance which
practically all nations have been en-
deavoring to find for years, the ord
Inc officials are naturally anxious

State Game LAW Defective.

Rolla-According to a ruling of
Judge L. M. Woodside of the Nine
teenth Judicial circuit, made at
Waynesville, the game law enacted by
the last legislature is almost worth
less. The judge sustained a motion
filed by Watson & Holmes of Rolla to
quash an information filed charging G.
V. Randolph of Phelps county with
hunting without a license in Pulaski
county. In effect the court holds that
the game and fish law provides no
penalty for hunting without a license,
and therefore as there is no penalty
there could be no punishment in case
of a conviction. Section 81 declares it
to be a violation of law for a citizen
of the state not having a license to
hunt outside of his county, but no
where is any penalty prescribed.

20 HURT IN WRECK
BURLINGTON ,HAIN JUMPS THE
TRACK AT kEARNEV, MO.
SLOW TIME AvERTs CATASTROPHE
Local Out of Kansas City Sent Over
an Embankment by a
Broken Rail.

Kansas City, Mo.-The Burling-
ton passenger train which left
Kansas City at 1880 Saturday morn
ing for Chicago was derailed at KeaF-
ney, Mo, 25 miles north of here, and
went over a 15-foot embankment.
Twenty persons were injured.
The Seriously Injured.
The seriously injured are;
]. d. Guyton, Kansas Citg, horse
and mule buyer; head cut nj other
wise injured.
R. +. Wilcox, Kansas City, horse
buyer; hip broken, hurt internally
- Chappell, young divinity student
at Liberty, Mo.
Travelling salesman, name unknown
unconscious.
None of the other injured was Sc
riously hurt.
The wrecked train was made up of
baggage car, smoker and two coaches.
1t is an accommodation train that
stops at every station between Kansas
City nd Chicago, and was not due in
Chicago till Sunday morning. The
accident was caused by spreading
rails.
Slow Time Averts Catastrophe.
Che train was not running fast and
this fact probably prevented more Sc,
rious results. All but the smoker
turned over and went half way down
the embankment.
Physicians were sent to the scene
from Brookfeld and Kearney. The
injured were cared for promptly and
placed in the smoker until they could
be taken to Kearney. They were
picked up by a later train and most of
them continued on their journey.
