WILL PROVE ASSERTIONS.
Ambury To Prove His Repeated AS.
sertions Concerning Frauds.

SAN FRACISCO, May 23.-After
a delay of over four years Lewis E.
Aubury, state mineralogist of Cali
fornia, thinks he has an opportunity to
prove to the Washington authorities
the extent and character of the land
frauds in this state.
A telegram received from Mr., Au-
bury sets forth President Roosevelt
has arranged for him to have an ex-
tended conference in Washington to-
day with Secretary Of the Interior
Jas. B. Garfield; G. Otis Smith, di-
rector of the U. S. Government Sur
veys; Fred w. Bennett, assistant COM
missioner of the general land Office
and Clifford Pinchot, chief of the for
estry bureau.
Aubury went east couple Of weeks
ago. He took lot of documentary
proofs with him and his friends are
confident he will be able to prove his
repeated assertions concerning Cali
fornia land frauds and how agents
sent from Washington have made in
accurate reports of their investiga,
tions.
Aubury contends that over three
million acres of land have been false
ly entered upon in the state and that
these lands are worth in excess of
$100,0O0000 Aubury has stated that
more mineral land in the state has
been subject to illegal entry by man

ever believed,

The HOIme Tragedy Not Yet
Cleared
POLICE HAVE TWO THEORIES
One Theory is That he Came to His
Death by Stroke of Apoplexy and
His Body Robbed Later by Alley
Loafers.

CHICAGO, May 23.-The death of
Robert c. P. Holmes, purchasing
agent for the Commonwealth Edison
Company, was not cleared yesterday,
but the investigation narrowed down
to two evenly balanced theories.
One of these theories generally held
is that Holmes, after a display Of
money and jewelry in several bar
rooms, was followed by clever, high
class "jack rollers" into the alley off
Adams street, leading to the rear en-
trance of O'Connor's Buffet, in the
Republic building. There he was as
saulted and robbed. The blow, as a
result OF his weak physical condition,
killed him.
The other theory is that Holmes
Games to his death as a result of a
stroke of apoplexy and fall, and
that his body was robbed later by
alley loafers.
The main thing on which the po-
lice are depending to start them on a
real clue towards Holmes murder
ers, is the jewelry that was taken
from his body, Descriptions of the
missing articles are being printed in
circulars which will be sent all over
the country.
1t is known that several men of
this type were attracted to the Ma
tional Electric Convention, on the
entertainment committee Of which
Holmes was the chairman.
They knew these delegates would
be we'll supplied with spending
money and that their chance would
come, They were able by reason of
their dress to 60 about the hotels.

"Were there other girls with the
fieet?"
"Not on the Hopkins" she said
"But there may have been on some OF
the other ships"
When asked where she hid she
said:

an emphatic toss of her head.
"But the officers, didn't they dis

I was right out on deck the same as
the boys, but OF course, wore one
of their suits and had my hair up
under the hat. I'd be there yet il it
was not for that general inspection at
Santa Cruz"
Up to the time of boarding the
Truxton, Olga was employed in a
Broadway department store in Los
Angeles. When asked ii she contem-
plated going back there, she said:
why, of course not. I'm going to
be married on Monday | became
engaged to one OF the boys on the
way up the coast. Jack is going to
get u hours off on Monday and he is
coming straight here so we can get
married. He's got eight months more
to serve and then he will come back
here to San Francisco"
The officers Of the Truxton and OF
the Hopkins are conducting an inves-
tigation of the affair but what if any
thing they have discovered is NOT
known.

expected to reach upwards OF l7,00O.
Directly after the financial furry
In October there was heavy rush
among the foreigners to leave the
country. During November and early
December European vessels left with
steerage compartments crowded to
overhowing, and leaving behind hum
dreds for whom there was no room.
For full month the outrush reached
A total of $4,000 and $4,000 weekly,
then fell off somewhat until in
January, February and March the
weekly averages were 10000 and lS,-
000--even then being three and four
hundred per cent greater than year
ago. With April there was still an
other increase and the May average
has grown to $4,000 weekly without
any signs of decreasing.
Statistics that since October that
between 475,000 and 100000 laborers

by the steamship companies is for
