MRS. WILLIAMS
 STATEMENT.
Says No One but RObber
 Shot Roberts.
RETURNS TO HER HOME.

Woman Who Was With Wealthy Bal
 tinnorean When He Was Wounded Is
 Now at Her Country Residence Near
 Monumental City - Police of Balti-
 plicstine Deford RidicuIed by His
 Relative, Colonel Swann, Head of
 City's Guardians.
 Williams, who was with Charles B. Roberts, Jr., of this city when he was shot on the boardwalk at Atlantic City, N. J., is at her country residence in Long Green valley. Baltimore coun- ty. She made the following statement:
 Ut is utterly ridiculous to say that any one but a robber shot Mir. Roberts, and I am surprised that the police are continuing to follow up the case on any other theory. The man who shot Mfr Roberts could not have been any thing else but one wanting money. He was a starving man. I had the oppor- tunity to see him we'll and the clothes he wore, and his whole appearance proved that he was. He was poor, wretched. ignorant man. who wanted money and supposed that if he held us up Mfr Roberts would give it to him. I am sure he would have demanded it of any one else if we had not happened along first"
 The Baltimore police have about ceased work on the case having ac- complished all they were asked to do, to learn the whereabouts of Williams last Wednesday and Thursday. to the expressed satisfaction of Detective Wilson of the Atlantic City force. who has been here for several days. Police Marshal Farnan is incensed because of dispatch quoting Chief Woodruff of Atlantic City as saying that the Balti- more officers have not given proper assistance in the case.
 Deford Story RidicuIed.
 Colonel Sherlock Swann, head of the police department of this city, who has been out of town. said:
 ''I regard the intimation of the Allan tic City police that Thomas Deford has something to do with the shooting of Mir. Roberts as ridiculous"
 Colonel Swann married a sister of Mrs Williams and Mir. Deford. Con tinuing, he said:
 He was my constant companion for almost q week up to last Tuesday, when he left Narragansett, where we were stopping with our families, to go to Chicago to attend q convention of leather manufacturers.
 T know he attended the convention and was not at Atlantic City at any time during the week"
 Roberts Not Threatened.
 Asked as to threats said to have been made to Roberts by Thomas De- ford. Colonel Swann replied:
 That is ridiculous. There is abso- lutely nothing in it
 Expressing his belief in the highway man theory. Colonel Swann pleaded innocence of the details of the case as a reason why he could not account for the alleged highwayman refusing Mrs. Williams offered chatelaine bag and his having failed to attempt to take anything from Roberts. In conclusion Colonel Swann said that the Baltimore police department will run down any clew that develops in Baltimore to the last ditch and that if the Atlantic City police want anything all they need do is ask and it will be done

of Eastside Bank.

Portland. Dec. I5.-Chief Gritzmacher
suspects a Salt Lake man of completely
in the holdup and robbery at Eastside
bank. He refuses to disclose the identity
of the suspect, but it is known he has
requested not only the Salt Lake and Og-
den police but the postal authorities as
well, to make every effort to capture him.
However, since the postoffice incident at
Ogden by which he lost a portion OF his
plumber il is believed he has escaped
1t has also developed, according to one
of the chiefs most confidential advisers.
that the suspected man mailed the Salt
Lake papers in which the bills were en-
closed from Portland to Ogden instead OF
from Salt Lake. The fact that he was
here and left Portland on the day follow
ing the> holdup has been established. as
has also the fact that he has a criminal
record in Utah ~ 1~
He has been traced as far as Salt Lake
and from thence 10 Ogden, where he
would have been captured but for the
delay of the postoffice clerk in notify
ing the detectives. Price of Ogden is en-
titled to 10 per cent of the money he
found, according to the offer OF President

IDAHO WAR upon
THE RAILROADS
Governor ELECT Brady Will Rec
ommend Passage of Pub
lie Utilities Law.
Especial to The Herald)

Boise. Ida, Dec 15.-Governor-elect
Brady has practically decided TO recon-
mend to the next legislature the passage
of a public utilities law, instead of d
straight railway commission law Today
he received a committee of Boise business
men and Governor Gooding. Attorney A.
A. Frazer first presented the matter be-
fore the new executive, stating that the
Commercial club and the South Idaho
league had endorsed a railroad commits
sion He declared that although his per-
sonal preference was for a public utilities
commission, he enthusiastically upheld
the resolution adopted by both of these
organizations.
he said, -'but more particularly of the
service, and in doing we voice the
sentiments of the wholesale dealers of the
state
Gooding's Remarks.
The remarks of Governor Gooding were
more sensational in their nature. He de-
cIared that the ordinary citizen was I'M
able to obtain satisfaction from the rail-
roads at the present time. because OF the
influence which the railroads exerted in
every community over those who should
be expected to protect them.
There is a larger side to this question,
he said land that is the betterment OF
social conditions. A great deal OF discon-
tent is prevalent. The humblesr citizen is
entitled to a hearing, but the prominent
lawyers and physicians are fed with
passes, which works TO deprive him OF
this right.
s-Out of 9O,OOO.OO0 people in this nation,
all but a million and a half are safe
guarded by a railroad commission But
four states have no such board. and three
of them are monopolized by Hartman
roads, of which the Oregon Short Line Is
one.
