The police have statements of persons who say they heard Whit

A sister of George Dickinson says that Whimore gave George a
diamond bracelet that his wife had worn and that The gift was made with

OAKLAND, April 26.-Hearst's Ex-

That the Examiner went far out of
its way to strike blow at Oakland
was manifest; that Hearst, now in full
cry with the other yelping hounds in
the Calhoun boughten press kennels,
should have permitted SO fragrant and
indecent an attack to go through was
not surprising in view of his attitude
toward every concern of public interest
which might be benefited by policy Of
constructive journalism.
Men prominent in affairs in this city
commented freely upon the viciousness
of the attack, particularly at this time.
when Oakland is preparing to take a
large part in the welcome to the feet.

TOWN, KILLING 80
Mountain Fairly Slides Over
Canadian Hamlet, Roaring
Down Deadly Path

BUCKINGHAM, Quebec, April 26.-
Half the little French hamlet of Notre
Dame de Salette, Is miles from here
on the Lievre river disappeared today
under a sliding mountain. and at least
30 Of its small population are known to
have perished. The hamlet has no tele-
phone or telegraph. nor is it on rail-
road. Meager bits of news of the dis
aster come in by messenger from the
physicians and other rescuers who were
hurried there when the first calls for
aid came early this morning.
Latest reports from De SaIette make
the number Of known dead 80. of which
II bodies have been recovered. In all
20 houses were engulfed in the slide.
The river Lievre winds at the foot
Of the hamlet. and a mountain towers
behind. Spring rains for days have
been melting snow and ice on the
mountainside and streams have been
coursing down TO the river.
At o'clock this morning, just as the
little hamlet began to stir for early
mass, part Of the mountain started to
slide toward the river. 1t tore a path
Of death and destruction for its way.
and those who were not killed when
their homes were engulfed were left
buried under the mass of rock and
earth. Camille LapOinte's house stood
first in the path of the avalanche He
and his family OF II are known to have
perished.
Eight others whose names have not
been obtained are known to be missing.
and the rescuers are attempting to find
definitely how many more are missing

swept away, and she. with her two

De Salette, like many hamlets of it's
kind, rambles into gardens and little
fields on the mountainside SO about
half of 1t was not in the path of the
slide. The sliding mass rushed with a
roar and spread fanlike over part of
the place and dumped itself in the
swollen stream at its foot Cut off
from the outside world. messengers
were dispatched to Houpere. the nearest
hamlet. Those who arrived first esti-
mated that at least a dozen houses were
crushed in the path of the landslide.
Buckingham was appealed to, but the
flight Of the messengers across the
spring roads was slow. Those first on
the scene found De Salette in a panic.
with the uninjured ones packing their
belongings for flight.
The first messengers to Buckin CHAM
ordered 25 collins to be sent to De
Salette, and all the physicians of the
town were hurried across country with
rescue parties.

This former arrest of Wilhelms was

CAPTAIN OF Detectives Petersen said !:
This man was not arrested to keep
his mouth shut He was arrested on
suspicion OF having something to do
with the blowing up OF Gallagher's
house.
Tt Is untrue that there is any other
motive in the arrest of Wilhelms than
q desire to run down the criminals who
placed the dynamite Wilhelms answers

detectives retained by those interests
which oppose the police endeavors TO

Of Nineteenth avenue, have transferred
