ANOTHER GOOD MAN
HAS GONE WRONG

SAN PEDRO, April 6.-Tax Collec.
tor Thomas Nelson of San Pedro was
arrested here today charged with be-
ing a defaulter There had been ii
suspicion that all was not right with
his books, and several days ago ex-
perts began an examination, Nelson
assisting, and a warrans was issued.
When taken into custody, Nelson
admitted, according to Patrolmen
Imam and Carpenter, that he is short,
and that the Santa Anita races,
where he bet and lost, were his I'M
doing. His accounts are In such
tangle that he himself does not know
the amount of the shortage indicated
by maze of alleged false entries in
the tax books. He declares he will
do everything possible to help the
authorities clear up the situation. 1t
is believed the shortage is heavy.
Nelson has borne an irreproachable
reputation, and was one of the most
popular men in San Pedro. His arrest
was a shock to that community.

AS SAID FATHER ADAM.
Millers Lay Blame for Bleached
Flour on the Women.

Washington-"The women want IT,"
said the millers and flour manufacturers
who have come TO Washington TO an
swer DIR. H. w. Wiley of pure food fame
and his charges that bleaehed flour is
mot pure food" The manufacturers
put the blame for it on the daughters of
Eve when DIR. Wiley asked them why
they had to bleach their flour.
MIR, Kaufman of st. Louis, represent
ing the Millers' Club, argued that for
eign countries have not hampered their
millers by pure food laws, and claimed
that purity is assured by bleaching flour
because none but the best flour will
bleach.
William Erskine Of Indiana, a witness,
said he had lost $4,000 by not bleaching
flour and was forced into it. His reason
was that people wanted it, the women
wanted it and he could sell no other kind.

ROCKEFELLER AS A WITNESS
Narrates Beginning of the Standard
Oil With 81, 900 Capital.

New York.-Relating his story with
the air of a country gentleman of kindly
mien, engaging host of friends with in
cidents of days long past, John ID. Rookie
teller, president of the Standard Oil
Company, though for nearly ten years
retired from the active cares Of the com
pany's direction, for over two hours
Wednesday reviewed the history of the
early oil trade and the development of
the first companies that later grew into
the present so-ealled oil trust. Mr.. Rookie
Teller appeared at complete ease, and
when John G. Milburn, of counsel of the
Standard Company, propounded his first
question, the witness spoke out in full
tones as if he desired the most distant
spectator in the chamber to hear. Then,
In a manner that indicated a pleasure at
what he was about to tell, Mr.. Rookie
Teller spoke of his start in the oil busi-
ness and how, under adverse conditions,
that business grew to the proportion OF
the Standard Oil Company of Ohio, with
its capital of 100000, which began
business in 1862 with capital of $4,000.

REBELS CROWD INTO PeMN
Outbreak Gravely Feared-Anti-For-

Pekin--Tsi An, although dead.
through her last executive act. the ssIics
declaring Pu Nj theheir to the throne
and making Prince Chun regent during
his minority, continues menace to the
peace of China. The native Chinese are
disinclined to accept the perpetuation Of
the Manchu rule, and many revolution
airy leaders are reported to have arrived
in the capital in the last few days.
Yuan Shi Kai is looked upon as the
natural leader of the Chinese element,
and will, through his position in the
grand council, undoubtedly have a pow
erful influence in shaping the course Of
affairs under the new regime. 1t is
taeitly understood that he has the silent
support of the United States, Great
Britain and several Of the other powers.
The lower classes in Pekin and many
other chief cities are bitter against for
eigners and Western innovations. An
outbreak on their part against a new
government suspected OF occidentalizing
tendencies is the foremost danger that
the government must meet

Switch Left Open to Wreck Rookie
feller's Private Car.

Utica, n. VA freight wreck that
occurred Monday midnight ON the New
York and Ottawa raLroad at Derrick,
In the Adirondacks, was undoubtedly the
result of deliberate attempt TO derail
a passenger train, TO which the private
car of William Rockefeller, the STANDARD
Oil multi-millionaire, was attached.
A serious wreck resulted, the loeomo-

MUST RECAST CRIMINAL LAWS
Thorough, Honest and Rational
Statutes Are Necessary.

Pittsburg.-That the American crimi.
nal law has very serious defects. and
that if the American people wish to rule
they must thoroughly, nationally and
honestly recast the criminal law" was
asserted by Acknowledgement Charles j.
Bonaparte in his address as president of
the National Municipal League, before
the annual meeting Of the body in this
city Wednesday. His subject was "The
Criminal Law as a Means To Enforce
the Peoples VIII"
He declared that the gravest and least
excusable deficiency in our criminal law
is found in its endless delays, and added
that il the people shall demand prompt
and unquestioning obedience to the peo-
pies laws, and shall give to this demand
an ample sanction in swift, sure and
grievous retribution for all rebellious to
those laws, the peoples rule will be real.
Why need there be forestate Of
eternity" he asked, between arrest and
Indictment, another between indictment
and trial and yet another between trial
and actual punishment, :"
This he answered by declaring that
IL is partly because the benehs pro-
fessional opinion among the bar tolerate
all kinds Of dlatory, frivolous and often
proceedings on the part of the
counsel intended to cheat
justice Of her plain due"
