SEEK To IMPOSE THREE
PENALTIES FOR ONE ACT
Federal Authorities Urge the Su-
preme Court to Segregate
Larceny and Burglary

WASHINGTON Nov. 19.-Having
sent Frank Wayne to the penitentiary
for three years for the alleged bur
glary of the Sellwood postoftice in
Portland, Ore, the department of JUS
tice probably will appeal tomorrow TO
the supreme court of the United
States to keep him there for alleged
larceny growing out of the same trans
action.
The government wants Wayne i'm
prisoned two years more for the al
legged larceny of postage stamps at
the time it is alleged he broke into the
office, and an additional year for the
alleged larceny of SO from the office.
The government claims an important
principle of law is involved.
After Wayne had served the sentence
of three years on the count of bur
glary he obtained his release on habeas
Corpus proceedings on the ground that
burglary and larceny constituted but
one offense.
The government is preparing to ask
the supreme court to review this find
ing.

BELIEVES VESSEL
BORE DYNAMITERS
Engineer of Steamship Acapulco
Writes of Three Mysterious
Passengers for Peru
REMARKS EXCITE SUSPICION
Trio Took Passage at San Fran
cisco Four Days After
Tragic Explosion
REMARKS EXCITE SUSPICION

A letter received yesterday from
Panama says that on the arrival there
of the steamship Acapulco three men
left the vessel and purchased passage
for Peru before the ships officers re-
ceived word that men supposed to be
the Times dynamiters were suspected
of being aboard. The men were trav-
cling together and were plentifully
supplied with money. They boarded
the vessel at San Francisco.
The letter giving this information
was written by John V. B. Perry, CHIEF
engineer of the Acapulco, on Novem-
Der 2. He says no attempt was made
by officials at any of the Mexican ports
at which the ship stopped to search
the boat nor were any questions asked
concerning the passengers. The men
he refers to were steerage passengers
and answer to a degree the description
of the dynamite suspects. They were
overheard, Perry writes, to remark
that lit would be safer to go to Peru
than to cross the Isthmus of Panama
to Colon" Perry says the news that
the trio might have participated i'll the
plot to blow I'D the Times was hrst
received by the ships screw after the
men had left the vessel.
1.-The action of these men," writes
Perry, (which might be deemed sus-
picious, was that they apparently mad
no plans laid as to what they were to
do after they arrived in Central Amer
lea. They represented themselves as
interested in mining ventures Ihey
were plentifuIIy supplied with money
and made no effort to conceal 1t. Re
marks they made in regard to it be-
ing safer in going to Peru We're over
heard. One of the men had suggested
making their way to Colon across the
isthmus. We afterwards learned they
| purchased tickets to Peru
when we touched at Mexico no one
approached US in regard to this affair
| and we were in absolute ignorance or
it until our arrival at Panama port
The Acapulco left San Francisco for
Panama four days after the explosion
in the Times building, and figured IN
the press as being the probable bearer
of the dynamite suspects:

BALLINGER DENIES CHARGES
"GIFFORD PINCHOT,
"AMOS PINCHOT,

Secretary Ballinger issued a state
ment last night, in which he declared
"Wholly unfounded charges have been
spread broadcast involving the atti-
tude of the department officers toward
these cases." and in view of these con-
ditions he deemed it Of the highest
importance that all of these cases be
transferred from the jurisdiction of
the general land office directly to the
court of appeals of the District of
Columbia for consideration and adjust
ment."
He indicated he would recommend
congressional authorization of this
transfer in his annual message.
Nh. Ballinger added that for several
months at his own instance the cases
had been placed under the special di-
rection of the president with a view
that no action be taken without his
special sanction

Manager of Michigan Central In
veStigateS Accident

DETROIT, Nov 49, - Richard III.
THommedieu, general manager of the
Michigan Central railroad, returned
tonight from Kalamazoo, where he in
vestigated last nights accident.
"The train was running about twen-
tv-five miles an hour" said Mr.. PHom-
medieu, (which probably would exceed
the ordinance limit The fact that the
express train was delayed five hours
in getting out Of New York, however,
was not responsible for its speed in
running through Kalamazoo. In such
localities as that where the accident
occurred the engineer would have been
running his train at that speed had he
been on time.
"Freight cars standing near the
crossing made it absolutely Impossible
for him to see the street car until he
was almost on top of it, and then he
stopped his train within its own
length"

FORMER FORESTER
FLAYS BALL|NCER
Clifford Pinchot Informs President
of Danger to Valuable
Alaska Property
Continued from Page one)

these Alaskan coal lands must depend
directly upon the president himself.
In your letter to me of January T.
1910 you said with reference to the
Cunningham claims:
Every patent as an executive act
is completely within the jurisdiction OF
the president to direct the withhold
ing of it in order that he may examine
the evidence as to the validity of the
claim.
1--WE are advised by counsel retained
for the purpose of representing on the
Cunningham record that the testimony
of the claimants themselves shows
abundantly and conclusively that the
claims are fraudulent, and that they
We're made in violation of the statute
designed to prevent monopoly.
Among the recent indictments found
against claimants for coal lands in
Alaska there are none relating to
claims in the Cunningham group.
1.-The record is voluminous. The case
against the claimants consists of a
mass of documentary evidence corrobo-
rated by facts elected from the claim
ants themselves.
THE record indicates that the force
of certain important lines of evidence
was not grasped by the attorneys for
the government. We believe a brief
giving due consideration to such evil
dence would be of material assistance
in reaching a judicial determination on
all the points involved in the case.
"Relying upon the welcome assur-
ance contained in your letter of Janu-
airy Z, and realizing how mindful and
arduous are the tasks which press upon
the time and attention of the president,
we respectfully request that in case the
interior department reaches a decision
in favor of patenting the claims you

sideraton a brief before making a de-
cision as to whether you will permit
your signature to be affixed to the
patents.
