H Lambert in an automobile, A. S
Golden, assistant district attorney and
Detective Leroy Armstrong, both OF
Schenectady, N. Y, and Detective Fish
of San Diego, are speeding northward
to escape the jurisdiction of the San
Diego courts. The Schenectady Off

cured an automobile in which they
placed Lambert, who is accused of
embezzling $500 and fled.
The automobir is headed northward
and it is the intention of Golden and
the detective to go as far as Orange

first eastbound train that overtakes
them. Lambert's attorney, it was be-
lieved, was preparing to seek a writ
of injunction from the local courts

tady officials. is not only an embez-
zler but a bigamist as well. They
deny that Lizzie Hartzhorn, of Sche-
nectady, from whom Lambert is said
to have stolen $780, is his sister.

SEND MESSAGES
Conflict Between Dew and Pro-
vinCiaI Authorities Is Ex-
peCted in Case
NEITHER HAS YET TALKED
Inspector Arranging to Take His
Prisoners Quietly from
the Dominion
NEITHER HAS YET TALKED
ASSOCIATED Press)

QUEBEC, Aug. 5.-ConHict between
Inspector Dew of Scotland Yard and
the Quebec provincial authorities may
follow the action of the latter today
in disseminating the privilege the in
spector has heretofore enjoyed-that
of supervising pers, nally the delivery
of cable messages to DR.. H. H. Grip
pen and Ethel Leneve. The local au-
thorities took this action today in the
absence from the city of Inspector
Dew.
1t was learned by Premier Gouin
that two messages, one addressed to
Crippen and the other to the girl, were
held at the jail, not to be delivered
until the inspector could first censor
them. orders Immediately were issued
to Governor NORM of the jail to de-
liver the messages to the prisoners at
once.
There seems to be a disposition on
the part of the local authorities to re-
sent the prerogatives the Scotland
Yard men have assumed.
The message delivered to the prin-
oners tonight were supposed to be from
friends in London. That these friends
continue their interest was shown to-
day by the receipt at the local tele-
graph office Of instructions from Lon
don to accept from the prisoners all
messages, to be paid for by the re-
ceivers in England.

CARTER AND LA Toilette
FIRST TO HEAR CHARGES

DENVER, Aug. 5.-Discussing Sena-
tor Cores charges in connection with
the Indian land cases, Senator Charles
j. Hughes, jr., of Colorado last night
declared he had never before attached
any considerable Importance to the
charges, and he had never before heard
the name of Vice President Sherman
spoken of with reference to them.
Senator Hughes is a member of the
senate committee on Indian affairs and
was the one to move the appointment
of the committee to investigate the
charges of bribery made by Senator
Gore.
Gore told the story to- Senators
Carter and LaFollette before he made
the open charges" said Senator
Hughes. HE did not mention the name
of the man who approached him, but
said it was one who had befriended him
early in his life. Gore said he felt
much Inundated that the man who
helped him should be the one to make
this bribe offer"

did everything possible to make life
unbearable for the Kendalls. Tommy
Kendall maintained that he would
stand by his rights. Only a few weeks
ago he paid us visit and told us
that the family was being spied upon
by Japanese in the employ of Mrs.
Starbuck. Mrs. Kendall was always
in mortal fear of the Jap. Mrs. Ken
dali on the occasion of a visit to me
told of threats which Mrs. Starbuck
had made against the life of her son

HARDsHIPs OF EXPLORERS

The arctic explorer smilingly met the
first delegation of Eskimos.
"Howdy" he said, as he opened a
stout canvas sack. Permit me to
show my friendliness by offering you a
choice assortment of mixed gumdrops,"
To his surprise the delegation scowled
darkly
"Glumdlop no good" said the igloo
chairman. TOO much glumdlop. Make
blubber man siclee. All time glum-
dlop. Bah! Why no chocolate cleans?
We likee chocolate cleans. No likee
glumdlop."
And the unhappy explorer realized
with a sickening sensation that he must
return home for a supply of the coveted
luxury.

SHERMAN REASSERTS HIS
INNOCENCE OF CHARGES
Denies HI Had Conference with
Hamon Anent Contracts

BIG MOOSE, N. Y, Aug. 5.-Vice
President Sherman today branded as
untruthful any statement purporting
to connect him with a personal interest
in the McMurray Indian land contracts.
Sitting before a blazing log at Camp
Crag, on Big Moose lake, where he is
passing the summer with his family,
Mr. Sherman read carefully the testi-
mony of United States Senator Gore
before the special congressional inyes-
tigating committee at Muskogee yes
terday.
"I never heard my name mentioned in
connection with the contracts which
were the subject of Senator Cores tes-
timony yesterday" he said. ct never
had any interest of any kind more
than the interest have had for years
in the welfare of Indians and which 1
shall ever have in any Indian contract
no personal interest, I mean.
1.-The story so far as my name is
concerned is without any foundation
whatever. If any person has said |
had any interest in this or any other
Indian contract he has stated what was
not true"
Mr.. Sherman said he remembers hav-
ing met Mr. Hamon four years ago
during the campaign, when Hamon
called on him at Washington with a
delegation from Oklahoma on politi-
cal mission.
SHERMAN FORGETS TAMON
"I haven't seen him since" continued
the vice president. "In fact, L don't
believe [ would know him if he were to
appear this morning. | never had any
conference with him in regard to the
McMurray contracts and have no per-
sonal interest in them in any way"
Mr.. sherman said he had heard moth
ing of the alleged attempt to bribe Sem
ator Gore until the latters declaration
on the floor of the senate, and no names
were mentioned at that time.
81 have endeavored always to show
Senator Gore every consideration in the
senate, as he is blind" he said land /
think the manly thing for him to have
done, If my name was mentioned in
connection with the McMurray con-
tracts, would have been to have in
formed me-"
Senator Cores sensational declara-
tion to the senate just before adjourn
ment that an attempt had been made
to bribe him was recalled by Mr.. Sher-
man, as was the vice presidents ap-
pointment of committee to inYesti-
gate the charges.
The mountain air has greatly bene-
fited both the vice president and Mrs.
sherman, and the latter has about re-
covered from her recent illness.

camp until Sunday, when he will re-

TNIONISTS WEAKEN.
Marquis of Lansdo1cne admits
Need of Reform.
lBy The Associated Press. ]

London. Jan. 5.-Two phases of the cleo
tion struggle now claim attention-first. the
disorderly Interruptions to which many
Conservative meetings and almost all of
those addressed by peers are subjected, so
that it is practically impossible for any
ITnionist peer to secure fair hearing; and.
second, the realization by the peers them
selves and the Unionist press of the neces-
sity of the House OF Lords advocating its
own reform the only means of meeting
the storm of protest which the peers ac-
tfon in connection with the budget aroused
in the country.
Lord Lansdowne at Liverpool tonight ad-
mitted that the present House was too un-
wieldy for an effective second chamber. He
believed in the preponderating power OF the
House of Commons. and suggested a House
OF Lords within the upper house and that
this reform ought TO he the work not of
one, but Of both political parties, working
together
He objected TO the elective principle
the ground that an elective chamber would
claim what even the present House OF
Lords did not claim-namely, coordinate
power with the popular house. He sup
ported the plan of the Rosebery committee
Of two years ago, of which he was a mem
Der, and which recommended that the inner
house be composed partly of peers whose
antecedents and qualifications justified
their inclusion, partly of peers elected by
the peers themselves and partly of life
peers appointed by the Crown on the rec
ommendation of the government of the day.
Alfred Austin, the poet laureate, issued
letter tonight in which, claiming scrupu-
lous absence Of party spirit he points out
that the present House of Lords includes
two hundred members who served the
country in the army and navy. hundred
of them the battlefield. to say nothing
Of those who had perished in the shock of
war. One hundred and seventy had been
members of the House of Commons, and he
declares that il is impossible to call such

CITY'S ICY MANTLE
Continued from first page.

1t was over an hour after the perform
ance before the last members Of the
audience got away, many being COM
pelled to plod through the middle of the
street to the surface cars or elevated
station.
Taxicabs. the only vehicles besides the
subway trains which seemed able to get
along without danger of accident. were
reaping a harvest in fares. In Broad
way and the avenues they had the road
ways to themselves. the cars and horses
being stalled on the tracks. and they
kept those pedestrians lodging whom
they aided by breaking the ice coating
with their chains.
And now. what is coming next out of
the grab bag of elements? The official
weather prediction says rain and warmer
to-day and tomorrow rain or snow and
colder. That Western storm. the fore
casters say, moved northward from the
middle Mississippi Valley. and its CEN
tire last night was north of Lake Supe-
rior. Apparently this particular blizzard
is going to pass Father Knickerhocker
by, but the weather man swears another
disturbance is forming over the lower
Mississippi Valley which will move
northeastward with increasing intensity.
The rise In temperature yesterday was
as phenomenal as its fall the day before.
AT 1 a. m. the thermometer registered 8
degrees above zero, the lowest tempera-
ture of the cold wave, and at 9 p. m. it
recorded 30 degrees, rise of % degrees
in twenty hours
