YOUNG MILLIONAIRE
HIRES SPECIAL AND
ASTONISHES FRIEND |
GATES GETS TO SAN DIEGO
AHEAD OF DUPUY
Companion Leaves Two and one-Half
Hours in Advance, but Son of
Steel Magnate Arrives
First
Especial to The Herald

SAN DIEGO. April Just to sur
prise his friend, Walter Dupuy son of
the noted Chicago grain operator,
Charles Gates, son of John w. Gates,
the steel millionaire, chartered a special
train in Los Angeles early yesterday
morning and established what will
stand for some time as a record run
between Los Angeles and San Diego,
making the trip in three hours and
twenty minutes.
The record run was made partly with
the idea of Gates meeting Dupuy, and
also to mystify his friend by arriving
at San Diego ahead of him, as Dupuy
had left Los Angeles on t'.e regular
owl train two hours and a half before
Gates made up his mind to attempt to
overtake him.
Gates and Dupuy had been visiting
in Los Angeles and met in the buffet
of the Alexandria hotel Thursday night,
when Dupuy stated he was going to
take a trip to Conorado Beach, inviting
Gates to go with him.
Young Gates was anxious to make
the trip, but had urgent business to
which he was obliged to attend, and as
Dupuy had made arrangements to leave
on the 11:55 p. m. train from Los Ange-
les, the two parted, with Gates express
ing disappointment that he could not
make the journey.
The idea then occurred to Gates to
be at San Diego before Dunuy arrived,
If possible; and he made up his mind
to accomplish the feat, as quickly as
young millionaires generally do when
they have any stunt to pull off, and the
money with which to put the plan
through.
Gates hustled, and at o'clock a. m.
had finished his business, and at once
made arrangements for a special train,
consisting of two cars and an engine,
and at 2:30 o'clock was whizzing over
the rails for San Diego, with the fixed
idea of passing the owl.
With a clear track ahead, the special
passed the owl at Oceanside, and Gates
had accomplished his purpose.
When the train on which Dupuy was
arrived at San Diego at o'clock yes
terday morning, young Gates was
standing on the depot platform and un-
concernedly greeted the astonished
Dupuy.

ROBBER RE-ENACTS
CRIME AT MONROvIA

work. but no idea of theft has entered
my mind. l suppose my reputation is

Know Sixth Man
1t was learned yesterday that Ed
ward Hatfield, formerly employed as a
purser on a Hamburg American line
steamship running between New York
and Southampton, was the sixth man
implicated in the robbery, his part be-
ing played after the crime was COM
mitted, being a sharer in the proceeds
Hatfield Is said to be in Oakland, and
officers of that city are searching for
him.
Hatfield came to Los Angeles in No
vember, last year. and became ac-
quainted with Sundin and Beatty, and
renewed an acquaintance with Mar
tin, whom he had known in the east.
'I do not know what part Hatfield
played in the robbery" said Martin
before leaving the court room. THAT
must be told by the others, for | was
in Ventura when he joined himself
with the others. Neither do I know
what share of the proceeds he re-
ceived."
Four Suspects Silent
Sundin, Beatty, Yohn and McAllister
would not discuss the affair yesterday.
The little justice court was crowded
almost to suffocation during the pro-
ceedings, and as the four men were
handcuffed and led back to the county
jail large number of persons fol-
lowed. 'slR
McAllister accompanied the officers
to the sheriff's Office, but was not
placed in Jail. He was ordered, how
ever, to report every morning until the
trial begins or the cases are disposed
of, and will be an important witness
for the prosecution.
McAllister admits he received part Of
the stolen money and protected the Sc
crets of the robbers. The money given
to him was deposited in a bank at
Long Beach, and this fact, 1t is be-
lieved, first led to his being suspected.

crate Celebration of Roads

NORFOLK, Va, April 2.-The open
ing of the Virginian railway. extending
from Sewells Point, Norfolk, to Deep
water. w. Va, on the Kanawha river,
a distance of 446 miles, took place to-

AMBASSADOR BRYCE AND
WIFE TO VISIT YOSEMITE
British Diplomat Is Expected to Re-
turn to Washington Next
Monday

MERGED, Cal. April 2.--Ambassador
James Bryce and Mrs. Bryce passed
through here today in the private car
of President e. p. Ripley of the Santa
Fe, en- route to Yosemite valley.
The party will reach Yosemite to-
morrow noon. The British ambassa-
COR and his wife expect to leave here
Monday for Washington.
Mr.. Bryce visited Yosemite valley
twenty-six years ago, when he made
the trip in a stage coach and COM
mented today upon the more comfort
able journey he is now taking by
rail.
Ambassador Bryce and James j. Hill
have been invited by the directors of
the Alaska Yukon-Pacific exposition to
make the opening addresses June l.
AS the Dominion of Canada is partici-
pating in the exposition and part of
the name of the fair was taken from
Yukon territory, the directors of the
exposition believed it fitting that the
British ambassador should be invited
to deliver an address.
In inviting James J. Hill the directors
desired to have the man who has been
prominently identified with the devel-
opment of the resources of the north
west.

and maximum rates will be 20 per cent.
1t is planned that for nine months or
year the minimum rate shall apply
to all countries without distinction or
discrimination.
At the end of this period, the maxi
mum rates will go into effect auto
matically against all countries which,
in the opinion of the executive, are not
giving the United States their most
favored nation clauses. If, in the gen.
eral inquiry that will be made during
the probationary PERIOD" the presi-
dent finds that certain nations are dis
eliminating against the United States,
he will merely refrain from issuing a
proclamation regarding these countries,
and the maximum henceforth will ap-
ply to them.
This plan gives to the executive
complete power of inquiry and decision.
The supreme court of the United
States, in a case involving the consti-
tutionality of the Mckinley tariff act,
decided that congress, by similar
methods of administration, was in no
wise delegating its authority to the
executive.
Another matter discussed at the con-
ference had to do with what plan
should be adopted in the bill to pre-
vent differentiation. The president
believes that gross frauds have been
practiced on the government In the
past under existing methods, and con-
sidered it of supreme Importance that
a fixed standard of valuation should
be prescribed.
President Taft seems more satisfied
just now than at any other time as to
the tariff outlook, especially in the SEN
ate, where grave disasters have been
predicted.
Praises w. J. Bryan
Praising w. J. Bryan for having
published Democratic campaign con-
tributions prior to the recent presiden-
tial election, Mr.. Heflin of Alabama,
the first speaker at the night session,
contended that the Payne bill was
framed to satisfy the trusts, which he
said, furnished the campaign funds OF
the Republican party.
Mr.. Currier of New Hampshire said
there was little increase in the price
of paper over that of ten years ago,
while the cost of production was
higher.
Advocating free lumber, Mr.. Davis
of Minnesota contended that Industrial
conditions existing today are different
than when the Dingley law was en-
acted. He declared the importations
of lumber under the proposed reduc-
ton would be only slightly increased.
while the price to the consumer would
be lessened.
Discussing the glove, hosiery and
leather schedule, Mr.. Clinton Of In
diana charged that the Payne bill inn
poses high duties in favor of some
eastern manufacturing interests that
do not need it, and gives to those in
terests an undue advantage In trade.
1T will not vote for a BILL" he said,
"that will increase the living expenses
of the laboring man and the salaried
man by taxing coffee. tea, spices and
that retains the many prohibitive du-
ties now in force under the present
law"
Mr.. Hughes of New Jersey urged
for the protection of American lumber,
which he said Republican tariffs have
Disseminated against.

DENIES HIS GUILT;
DIES ON GALLONS
lie Beau Goes to ScaffoId After Seri-
Gus Collapse and Declares
Innocence

HELENA, Mont, April "A special
from Kalispell says that Frederick LIE
Beau, convicted of the murder OF h.
Yoakum, was hanged today.
Just prior to the execution LIE Beau
became very Ill and almost broke
down. He regained his nerve, however,
and walked to the scaffold. He made
statement just before the trap fell
to the effect that he was innocent.
LIE Beau was hanged for the murder
of Riley and William Yoakum at For
tune, fifty miles north, last June. The
murder was one of the most brutal
in the history of this section. Joseph
Hobbins, an accomplice of lie Beau, is
serving a life sentence in the prison.
The LeBeau hanging was probably
attended by more sensational incidents
than any other execution in the history
of Montana. Just before LeBeau
mounted the scaffold he removed his
shoes, making a facetious remark to
the crowd.
Then, with the rope around his neck,
he made a speech, as follows:
Gentlemen, you may nave seen iots
of hangings, but you never saw one
like this"
Addressing state Senator Thomas D
Long, who had acted as his attorney
he asked:
"Mr. Long. will you shake hands with
me from the top?"
Mr. Long mounted the scaffold and
complied with the condemned mans
wishes.
The cap was then pulled down and
LeBeau dropped seven feet, the crowd
hearing the snap of the mans neck:
LeBeau went into a frenzy during
reading of the death warrant, protest
ing against the word murderer" de-
claring he was no murderer, and i'm
ploring the sheriff to desist reading.
He raced around his CELL knocked the
paper from the sheriff's hands, was
seized with nausea, and was only qui-
eted by the efforts of his counsel, Mr..
Long.
LeBeau was buried in a lot, his body
inclosed in a wickerwork coffin for
which the condemned man paid from
collections made during his incarcera-

Chicago. June 19.-If Jeffries and
Johnson ever get together the bout
will not take place In Australia, and
NAV not take place in America. The
offers made recently for the match
are so flatterlng that George Lytle,
manager of Johnson, thinks he can
not do better than at the National
Sporting club of London.
johnson will never box In Austral-
la again." he said yesterday, "and al
though Hugh Mcintosh has tnat offer
of $500 still standing. | don't think
he can pull off another big bout there.
The political angles of the game crop
up in the way Of opposition so strong
that | think ne up against 1T. The
National Sporting club has a small
arena, but the prices are large. The
offer from there looks best to me.
Mcintosh talked of holding bout in
France, but the game seems to be too
much of monopoly over there for
them to let foreigner cut in"
Joe Jeanette will never get another
chance to meet Jack Johnson. Even
if Jeanette follows Jack to this city
when johnson arrives July 1, as Joe
has been asserting he will do. no
match will result, Lytle made this
statement following Jeannette's asser-
tions in New York that he is entitled
to a chance at the title.
johnson has boxed Joe six times"
ne said, "and there can be no ques-
ton that Jeanette hasn't chance
with him. What would be the good
of having another bout with him? John
son gets here soon, but he is going
out to Cedar Lake to train for mis-
bouts with AL Kaufman and Ketchel.
Then If Jeffrles Will not meet him he
will go abroad"
