THIEVES CAUGHT
BY MERCHANT

Thomas Mccormack, of the firm
of Mccormack Brothers, Fifteenth
and Pacific, made a neat catch
at $3.50 this morning when he
found Thomas Shipley and James
Casey in the act of carrying off
several sweaters from a pile in
front of the store. Casey had al
ready stuffed an expensive sweat
er-vest inside his coat and was
reaching for another when Mr..
Mccormack caught him.
A half dozen sweaters were taxi
en- from the pile yesterday after
noon and 1t is suspected that Ship
ley and Casey took them.
After the auto-patrol had taken
the men to the station Shipley con-
fessed that Casey had sold a
sweater yesterday, but said that he
did not know where his friend had
obtained the merchandise. They
will be tried In the police court
late this afternoon.

MONEY
LETTERS TO PROSECUTING
ATTORNEY TELL HOW MAN
ANSWERING HIS DESCRIP-
TION OPERATED IN SEVER
AL OTHER CITIES.
Many WOMEN DuPED

That self-styled divine SYM
pathizer," closely resembling
Joshua Klein, has been operating
for money in several parts of the
country was evinced today by let
ters received by Prosecuting At
torney J. l.. McMurray from wom-
en- who claim to have been duped
by the man.
One letter from a Mrs. w. F
Osborn in Eugene, Oregon, is to
the effect that a man answering
Klein's description and having a
similar flow of "divine" talk, op-
Grated there a few months ago
and suddenly departed after OBJ
tanning a considerable quantity Of
money from his believers.
Mrs. Osborn gave 5000 to tn
man, who called himself at tn
time DR.. ]. Radran. She says tha
the man operated in San Diego
Budwin Pogachesky, a divine heal
er and teacher.
Another letter from a woman
living at present in Seattle, tells
of operations of man resembling
Klein in Bellingham two years
ago. She says that she was only
one of a number of women who
were mystified by his flow of talk
and that he succeeded in getting
money from all of them. At that
time, the letter states, the myster.
ious man had his wife and two
children with him, but, the writer
says, did not support them at all,
claiming that his wife did not live
in his psychic sphere"
After time, according to the
letter, he left his wife to the
mercy of friends, and left for New
York.

BLOWS UP
Ho M e

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
OAKLAND, Feb. 5.-The home
of Superintendent Hartman of the
American-Hawaiia Sugar COM
pany's refinery at Crockett, was
blown up by dynamite shortly
after 3 o'clock this morning.
A Slavonian who was recently
employed in the refinery commit
ted the crime. A desperate run
ming battle between teh dynamiter
and posse under Sheriff Veale
of Contra Costa county followed
the outrage Many shots were
fired and 1t is believed the fugitive
was wounded.
The explosion wrecked the ell
tire front of the Hartman home
but did not seriously injure any of
the occupants.
Hartman is a well known local
capitalist. Recently the sugar re-
finery was involved in labor trou-
BILE and Hartman incurred the en-
nifty of a number of the Slavon-
ians employed.
Three suspects were captured.
1t Is believed that all were con.
cerned in the outrage.

"I'll be blowed!" said Tacoma
last night about 9 o'clock.
1t was a sure thing and no mis-
take for what the weather man
calls the "eye of the storm" was
on the city.
Clouds were scurrying about
down low, humping into telegraph
poles and running against the sky
scrapers at great rate. They
swept by pedestrians on the
street and were shifted by the
populace.
Then the eye of the storm ar
rived. This is round clear CEN
ter that the weatherman says
storms have and it is supposed to
be so the storm can see what it
is doing and can hunt up all the
shaky trees, find all the loose
signs and locate ali the windows
that are not able to put up a
strong resistance.
After all these were properly
located the main body of the
storm came along and had fun.
In a few minutes the wind hit up
the pace from six miles an hour to
SO. 1t blew away everything loose
and then went round the corner
and howled with delight over It,
Everybody in town heard it howl

RELEASED

oliver Hopper, the 15-year-old
high school boy who was accused
of holding up and robbing several
prominent Tacoma women, was
ordered released after a brief
hearing before Judge Easterday of
the juvenile court this morning.
The boy will be forced to re-
port to a probation officer every
week until the court finds him re-
sponsible to act independently.
The mandate of the court came
as surprise to the prosecuting at
torneys, who had prepared a
straight line of evidence against
the lad, and Attorney J. L. NC
Murray made a strong plea that
young Hopper be tried before the
bars of justice by an unprejudiced
Jury.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 5.-Today
for the second time during this
session of the legislature, Cover
nor Gillett sent special message
to the senate and assembly asking
that no anti-Japanese legislation
be enacted.
President Roosevelt's telegram,
branding the Grove l.. Johnson
anti-Japenese school bill as "the
most offensive" of all the anti
alien measures pending before the
legislature which the governor re-
ceived yesterday, was directly re-
sponsible for today's message.
Governor Gillett worked late
last night preparing his COM
munication an dthis morning it
was ready for the legislature.
The message was in part as fol-
lows:
"To the Senate and Assembly:
Gentlemen:-Believing that there
should be a further and most
careful consideration of assembly
bill No. IA, which provides that
boards of school trustees shall
have the power to establish sep
arate schools for children of jap
anese and that thereafter they
shall not be admitted into any
other public school, and further
believing that the enactment of
the provisions of said bill will, at
this time, affect the interests of
the entire nation, and perhaps SER
iously, / must respectfully request
you to reconsider the vote by
which said bill was passed and
take the matter up for further
and most careful consideration.
within a few hours after the
passage of said bill the president
of the United States, alarmed at
the possible consequences of the
enactment of such a law, sent to
me a telegram in the following
language: This is the most Of
fensive bill of all, and in my judg-
ment is clearly unconstitutional
and we should have to test it in
the courts. Can 1t not be stop
ped In the legislature or by veto?'
"a telegraph so forcible as this
coming from the president of the
United States is entitled to full
consideration and demands that
no hasty nor ill-considered action
be taken by this. state which may
involve the wholoxountry."
Introduces Bill Anyway.
Directly after Governor Gillett's
special message was read to the
senate Senator Anthony Caminet-
tt showed his utter indifference to
executive appeals by introducing
Grove L. Johnson's anti-Japanese
school children segregation bill,
which was passed In the lower
house yesterday.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. 5.-
After placing his veto on the ma
tional census bill President ROose{
welt today sent a message to conf
gress giving his reasons for refus4
ing to sanction the measure In ito
present form.
The presidents message read
81 herewith return without my
approval bill of the house Of rep1
resentatives, No. 16954, entitled
AN Act to Provide for the Thir-
teenth Subsequent Decennial Gem
sus,' and / do this with extreme
reluctance, because l fully realize
the Importance OF supplying the
director of the census as early
as possible with force necessary
to carry on the work.
Accuracy Essential.
"But 1t is of high consequences
to the country that the work "a
the census shall be conducted with
entire accuracy. This Is importsi
ant from the standpoint of busi~|
ness industry as well as from q
scientific standpoint.
at is therefore my Judgment
that it is essential that the resule|
shall not be open to suspicion OF
bias on political or personaI
grounds and that 1t should not be-
open to the suspicion that 1t 10
a waste of the peoples money OF
a fraud.
"Section z of the act provides iu|
effect that the appointment be un-
der the 'spoils SYSTEM for this isl
the real meaning of the provfsio1
which relates to non-competitiv6
examinations. A proviso is added
that employees shall be selected
without regard to political afdliar
tions.
"There is only one way to guar<
antee that these shall be selected
without regard to politics and on
their merits and that Is by chOos-
ing them after competitive exam~
nations from lists of engibles
provided by the civil service COM
mission"
As to Political Pressure.
President Roosevelt quoted DE-
rector North that those who pass
non-competitive examinations haxo
more than an equal chance Of ap-
pointment with political pressure
the determining factor. He adj
ded:
ITO provide that clerks and
other employees be appointed after
non-competitive examinations and
yet to provide that they shall be
selected without regard to party
affiliations merely means that the
appointments will be treated 40
perquisites by both parties, in-
stead of perquisites for politicians
of one party. / do not believe in
the doctrine that to the victor be-
longs the spoils, but l think even
less of the doctrine that the spoiin
be divided without fight by pro-
fessional politicians of both sides
i his would result in permitting
the bill in it's present shape to be-
come a law.
Too Extravagant.
"Both of the last censuses wer4
taken under provisions Of the laW.
excluding competition and everN
man competent to speak with 40
curacy has stated that the result
was to produce extravaganza ana
decentralization"
