COLLEG|ANS OFFER
WILEY SYMPATHY
Former Princeton Students Visit
Society Burglar at Jail and
Tender Encouragement
READS CLASSIC LITERATURE
Prisoner, Repenting His Recent
Action, Intimates He Will
Ask for Probation
READS CLASSIC LITERATURE

Discouraged and repentant. Raymond
M Wiley, the society burglar" who
was caught in the house of James M.
Yankie, 654 South Bonnie Brae street,
Friday night, passed an uncomfortable
period yesterday, the only encourage
ment offered being from number of
former students of Princeton univer-
sity who visited the city Jail and vol
unteered financial assistance.
This offer was refused, the former
colegian stating his relatives would
look after his defense. But he was
greatly cheered by the kindness of his
friends
This morning Wiley will appear in
police court for his preliminary hearing
and will doubtless ask for a continu-
ance of his trial until the return of his
attorney, Frank Pratt, who will leave
Los Angeles tonight for the east for a
consultation with Wiley's father.
Young Wiley paced his cell continu-
ally during the day, and yesterday aft
ernoon requested the attendance of
police surgeon, owing to his highly
nervous condition. After receiving
medical treatment he asked for reading
matter, which was readily supplied by
former students of Princeton university
who read of the predicament of their
fellow collegian.
The young prisoner, on the advice Of
counsel, does not talk as readily as on
the night of his arrest, and despite the
fact he denies ever attending or gradu-
ating from an eastern college it is
thought his statements are made on the
advice of counsel.
Wiley appears sincerely sorry for his
rash act in robbing the Yankie house
and asserts it was his first criminal Of
fense. He attributes his downfall to
his inability to overcome his desire for
strong drink and the fascination of the
"wanderlust life"
The youthful prisoner speaks several
languages, and yesterday his only re-
quest was that he be given some classic
books to read. His friends at once
brought copies of Homers "Iliad'
Piutarch's Lives" Greek Orations''
and number of books of a similar
type.
That he will plead guilty and ask for
probation was the substance of Wiley's
remarks last night. His father and
other relatives have wired Attorney
Pratt to spare no expense to obtain the
release of the prisoner, and if this is
accomplished he will be taken to his
home in New York and given another
start in the straight and narrow path.

SEEK TO QUASH CHARGE,
SAYS O|XON'S ACCUSER
Rooming House Keeper Claims
Friend of Charged Official
Offered immunity

That w. b. Gage, proprietor of the
Hampshire apartment house, S14 South
Broadway, had. been approached and
offered political immunity and protec-
tion If he would withdraw his charges
against Police Captain Charles e. Dix
on was the statement made at police
headquarters last night and verified by
Mr.. Gage.
The news created no small sensation,
and as the charges preferred against
Captain Dixon are said to be sched-
uled for an airing before the police
commission tonight, the alleged at
tempt to silence Gage is regarded as OF
special significance.
In his charges to the commission
Gage states Dixon used language and
conduct unbecoming a police official
in connection with the arrest of a wom-
an boarder at the Hampshire house,
when Gage appeared in the captains s
office to intercede in her behalf. That
an ugly name was applied to Gage by
Captain Dixon is the specific charge.
In speaking of the matter last night,
Gage implicated j. F. Anderson, a
prominent real estate dealer, stating he
was the person who appealed to Gage
to withdraw the charges and Offering
inducements.
Last Friday night Mr.. Anderson
came to my house." said Gage, land
asked me to withdraw the charges L
mad preferred against Captain Dixon,
or at least not appear against him. He
told me Dixon was in a position to do
me much harm, and tried to show me
why it would be wise to be friendly
with Dixon. Political immunity was
offered. but as 1 regarded the matter
my personal honor was at stake and
refused to make any concessions.
"While Mr.. Anderson may have acted
in a friendly spirit, I could not enter
tain his proposition, and do not want
to go on record as saying he was sent
to me by Captain Dixon

union declare that although they have
not been successful in their demand
for an eight-hour day and minimum

will be the more easily won because
of the effort that has been put forth

the various crafts connected with
the metal trades council were busy
trying to bring men into the strike.
Personal solicitation was made to
many men who are still at work.
The Union Labor temple was the CEN
ter of activity, but non-union men
were seen at their homes and every
effort was made to induce them to
abandon their tools.
About $50 iron workers met yester-
day morning to more strongly organ
ize themselves. 1t was said that 100
new applications for membership We're
accepted at the meeting.
