Seattle, Portland, Aberdeen,
Tacoma and Boise Are
Accused.

Wash'ngton-Stsggered by TIE
enormous growth shown by the re-
turns of the new census for a number
OF western cities, Director Duland, OF
OF the Census Bureau, ordered an in.
vesttgation, the result of which an.
'peared in the announcement that
gross frauds had been perpetrated.
Mr.. Durand also gave out letter
from President Taft, directing thar
persons implicated in the alleged
frauds be prosecuted.
Cities specifically mentioned as be.
ing affected by the frauds are Taco
ma Seattle and Aberdeen, Wash:
Portland. Ore. Minneapolis, Mimi:
Boise. Idaho, and Fort Smith, Ark. It
is said that there are many other
cities involved.
Corrected returns and reports on al
legged padding in Portland have not
yet been received. Recount and re-
adjustment has been completed at Sc
attic and Boise. and announcement
OF those two cities will be made soon
with full statement of the fraud
Taeoma's Padding Big.
The result of second enumeration
OF Tacoma, Wash. shows popula.
ton Of S2,972, AN increase of 45,25S, or
l2O per cent over the population of
1900. The first figures turned in for
Tacoma We're 116,24S. In other words
the actual population was padded to
the extent od 1896. which would have
meant a further addition OF 40 per
cent.
Director Durand says that the sus-
picions with regard to the census OF
Tacoma, were aroused, when on care
ful examination of the schedules in
Washington, it was found that there
was an absurdly large number OF
families reporting great numbers Of
"roomers" and dodgers"

STANLEY kETCHEl
MYSTERIOUsLY SHOT

Springfield. Mo.-Stanley Ketchel.
champion middleweight pugilist of the
world, died as the result OF a wound
by bullet fired from a rifle in the
hands OF Walter A. Hurtz, a laborer
on the ranch OF r. p. Dickerson, mil.
lionaare ranchman and sportsman.
near Conway, Mo.
Hurtz was later captured at the
home OF Thomas Haggard, one mile
from Niangua. Mo-. and was taken to
the Webster County jail at Marsh
field. where he is being guarded.
After being placed in his cell the
prisoner made a confession in which
he declared he shot Ketchel in self
defense. He said he ordered the
prizefghter to throw up his hands and
fired when Ketchel refused 10 obey.
Conscious until near the end, Ket III
el refused to make any statement re-
garding the shooting.
The part played by the woman in
the case, Fannie Hurtz, who claims
Ketchel's murderer as her husband,
is not clear. From statements made
by officers at Conway, it is believed
she is suspected Of Turing Ketchel to
a chair which she mad placed in such
a position that the occupant could
not perceicye anyone who left the
front door Of the house. 1t was while
sitting in this chair that the cham
pion was shot.

AUTHORIZATION
SPEECH BY SMITH

Dan Morgan Smith spoke In the
opera house, Thursday night. on
Prohibition is Wrong, Morally" to
an audience of perhaps 250 people,
including many who differ from the
speaker on that issue but who gave
him respectful hearing. The
speaker was introduced by A. c. Mil
Ter, manager Of the opera house.
Captain Smith Is a Georgian by
birth but is now a resident of Chi
cago where he Is a prominent law
yer. He is employed by the Great
er Oregon Home Rule association
OF Portland. He says he never drank
liquor. but occasionally takes a
glass OF beer. He Is certainly a
forceful, eloquent and effective orator
His main argument was that pro-
hibition is failure in correcting
or lessening the evils OF the abuse >
OF intoxicants. The dive flourishes
more under prohibition than under
regulation. He fayors drastic regu-
lation. making 1t obligatory on Off
GERS, under penalty of impeachment,
to forfeit the licenses OF second Of
friends.
Captain Smith spoke in Wallowa
Friday night.

DYNAMITE FOUND
IN SAN FRANCISCO
500 Pounds of Explosive Dis
covered in Vacant Bay
City House.

San Francisco.-The discovery OF
500 pounds OF dynamite hidden in an
-nntenanted house near the bay in
South San Francisco threw the de-
tectives, working on the Los Angeles
Times explosion case, into new spasms
OF excitement and cast an inky dark.
ness over clews hitherto considered
of promise.
The dynamite was contained in ten
boxes of 80 pounds each, addressed
to J. B. Bryson, and is supposed to
be the same lot purchased by three
men from the Giant Powder Works.
September 20.
Upon examination. the boxes were
found to hold approximately 80 sticks
each of seven-eights dynamite of so
per cent gelatin. The order placed
by Bryson at the Giant works called
for this type of explosive.
Captain Byan, of the detective de
partment, found that the dynamite
was OF the type which was placed
near the residence of F. ]. Zeehande-
laar, secretary of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association, in Los
Angeles, the day after the Times ex-
plosion.
The box that was open held dyna-
mite manufactured by the Hercules
Powder Company, which is situated in
Contra Costa County near the giant
works. This Hercules powder was
OF 40 per cent gelatin and opens up
a new clew for investigation.

jackson. Miss, July a-In a battle
this afternoon between Deputy Sheriff
Cauley and a party OF negroes near Ell
lott. about forty miles from here, FIVE
negroes we're killed and two mortaiy
wounded.
The deputy sheriff had warrants for the
arrest of two negroes for minor Of
fenses and went 10 the negro settlement
near Elliott to make the arrests. The
negroes defied. Other negroes gathered.
and soon the officer was threatened by a
mob. Cauley tried 10 retreat. when the
negroes began to advance on him. throw
ing stones and swearing they would kill
him.
Cauiey drew lis pistol and told the ne
groes he would shoot il they sid not halt
The blacks continued to advance and the
deputy opened are His aim was deadly
and every shot brought down a man.
When the deputy finished firing there
were five dead negroes on the ground and
two mortally wounded. The others had
fed. Cauley used two pistols. and he
thinks that some OF those who fed were
wounded.
Cauley FASTENED to Elliott with news of
the tragedy. and, forming a posse. re-
turned to the scene. Only the dead and
dying were found, the living negroes hav-
ing fled from their homes.
