FACE TRIAL AGAIN
GOVERNOR BENSON GRANTS
PAPERS FOR EXTRADITTON
Woman in Cell Here Breaks Down
on Receipt of News-An Her Hopes
Shattered-WilI Be Taken to Van
couver Tomorrow.

After successfully resisting for ten
days the attempts of the Washington
authorities to take her to Vancouver
for trial. Mrs. Maud Myrtle Johnson,
or Mrs. Maud Baney or Mrs. Helen
Hazleton, has finally been vanquished
and will be taken to the Washington
city for trial, The matter was ar
gued before Governor Benson last
Wednesday and the longer his deci-
sion was held up the more cheerful
she became until she was in a partic-
ularly joyful frame of mind this
morning when the message was re-
ceived
AS it was read to her the woman
broke down completely and wept
bitterly The message received was
from Sheriff D. W. Sappington of
Vancouver and stated that the gov
ernor had granted the extradition pa
pers and that the sheriff would ar
rive in Pendleton this evening. He
and his prisoner and the baby, which
the woman claims as her own but
which has been called an incubator
baby. will leave on the morning To-
cal for the west,
1t is alleged that Mrs. Baney. using
the name of Helen Hazleton. swim
died the Northern Pacific Railroad
company out of n considerable sum
of money by means of a fake damage
suit which was brought in Clarke
county n few years ago. The tactics
she used at that time were similar to
those employed by her In swindling
about a dozen other roads in different
years.
If she escapes conviction in Van
couver she will be taken to California
where she is wanted in two different
cities on similar charges.

Seattle, Wash, Jan. THAT mas
querading as a Monkey Man" has
gradually changed her husband into
brute is the charge made by his
wife against Harry L. Blitz, who be-
came a landmark of the exposition
grounds last summer through his an
tics. The judge after listening to the
evidence today granted a divorce and
decree for alimony. Blitz Is said
to be in Portland earning $10e q
month in front of one of the cheap
theaters as business getter.
Mrs. Blitz told the court her hus-
band had been in the monkey" bus
mess many years and that he had
grown more brutal in his attitude
with the passage of time. "I came
to regard him more as a brute than
as a husband and lost my love for
him through his cruelty TO me-" She
said Blitz put in eight hours a day
in front of one of the pay streak
shows, bedecked in barbarous appar-
ell, blackened face. armlets, leglets
and ear rings and with a most fe-
rociously inane expression. -

Yipsilanti, Mich., Jan. 7.-One man
is dead, and another fatally injured,
as the result of a battle with two
yeggmen who attempted to break in
to the railroad station here early to-
day after causing a reign of terror
among storekeepers in that vicinity.
The dead man is Henry Erner, bag
gagemaster and the fatally wounded
Morgan Emmett, telegraph operator.
A pistol battle followed night of
terror in which the yeggmen held up
a score of persons and broke into sew
eral stores near the station. They
met no resistance until they stormed
the station and made an attempt to
force their way into the office. Erner
and Emmett met them with drawn re-
volvers and a desperate struggle fol-
lowed in which many shots were fir
ed as the men grappled on the sta
ton platform. Before reinforce
ments arrived Erner was killed by a
bullet from the pistol of one of the
highwaymen. who escaped, and En-
NETT was mortally wounded by the
other. but pluckily held on to the
man until a policeman came up and
arrested the bandit.

PORTLAND GENTLEMAN BURGLAR
FORMERLY PENDLETON RESIDENT

George Haigh, gentleman" burg
lar. who has confessed to having
committed II burglaries in Portland.
is a well-known former resident OF
Pendleton. His mother Is highly re-
spected resident of this city. while his
father is now supposed to be in Brit
ish Columbia.
This is not the first trouble that
Haigh has been mixed up in, how
ever, for eight or nine years ago he
sode. Soon after that time he left
Pendleton and did not return to make
this city his home until last fall. For
Il time he was connected with the
Grand theater and later he went to
Portland. where he was employed as
n prune packer.
According to reports from that city,
he lost his position as prune
packer and took room at Fifteenth
and Franklin streets. frim which
place he committed his depredations,
which were of sensational nature.
During all this time his young wife,
who is his second, has been residing
in Pendleton.
Upon reading of her husbands diff
ficulties in the newspapers, she inn
mediateiy left for Portland in com
pany with couple of friends, ac-
cord'ng to the Portland Journal
Withheld News from Wife.
'The husband had not told of his

trouble, hoping To get it settled with
out her knowledge. He is 80 years
old; his wife is younger. When the
woman arrived at the station. she
was on the verge of a nervous break
down. The couple first met in the
squadroom. The young wife collaps-
ed and was taken into the private Of
flee Of Chief Cox.
1T was for his wife. Halgh claims
that he stole 1t was his plan to dis
pose of the $1,000 worth of plunder
and return to her when caught All
his efforts to comfort the woman
were futile. but she declared she
would remain true and steadfast
through the difficulty. The husband
and wife talked with each other many
minutes. she will remain in the city
to visit him each day"
Haigh's first wife was a daughter
Of M. ana Mrs John Heathman. She
secured divorce and was later mar
ried to Tex Langiver The prisoners
father is in British Columbia, but his
mother is Mrs William McGregory Of
West Pendleton he being son by her
first marriage
Hagh was caught while attempting
to enter room in the Gladstone
apartment house. The search of his
room revealed the plunder of eleven
hurglaries, to which he has since
made a full confession. He is held
on a charge OF burglary and will go
before the grand jury.

IOWA SUFFERS FROM COLD
AND FUEL FAMINE

Des Moines. iowa, Jan. Threat
ened with fuel famine, Iowa is to-
day practically without protection
from the bitter cold that prevails
throughout the state. Governor Car
roll and the state railroad commits
sioners today issued an order to all
railroads forbidding them to appro-
PIRATE any coal in transit for their
own use. Officials of practically
every railroad operating within the
state have announced they would
comply with the orders.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1910-01-07

the source, nature and progress OF
claims made for portions of the pub
lie lands.
"The rumor," he said, that the
CLAWS report to the president was
prepared in or by the forest service
Is incorrect. At Claws request /
sent Shaw, as it was proper l should
to Chicago to assist CLAWS in arrang-
ing his material for submission to the
president"
After saying that these officials
had acted on information concerning
the danger of the loss of the Alaska
coal lands, Mr.. Pinchot continued:
Action through the usual Official
channels and finally even an appeal
to the president, had resulted (be-
cause Of what l believe to have been
a mistaken impression of the facts),
in eliminating from the government
service in the person of CLAWS. the
most vigorous defender of the peo-
pies interest. Furthermore, the re-
fusal Of the secretary of the interior
to assume responsibility in the cases
had left their conduct wholly in the
hands of subordinates, each of whom
was apparently committed in favor Of
patentng these claims"
Thinks Violation Justified.
Price and Shaw, he said, deliber-
