ARREST SIX IN
SMUGGLING HUNT
SHIPPING CHINESE AND OPIUM
THE CHARGE
MEMBER OF ALLEGED "RING'- is
TAKEN IN SOUTHWEST
Six Men Held in Custody by Federal
Authorities, Who Say They
Have Backbone of
Conspiracy

immigration officials in Los Angeles
received word yesterday that another
arrest in the southwest had been mace
in connection with the breaking up by
the federal authorities of the alleged
Chinese and opium smuggling ring,
four alleged members of which are be-
ing held in the county jail. In the at
tempt to connect the latest suspect
with the "band," two of the twelve
Chinese recently ordered deported by
order of the United States district
court will be held in Los Angeles.
For years a secret clique of men,
aided by Mexicans across the border,
are said by the federal authorities to
have conducted extensive smuggling
operations in Chinese and opium that
extended from the Orient to the Chi
natowns of eastern cities. Headquar-
ters of the ring are said to have been
established at Ell Paso, with branches
in Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Although deputies have followed clue
after clue and have been at work for
months in an effort to learn the lden-
tity of the men, it was not until the
discovery of fourteen Chinese huddled
in a starving condition in box car in
Los Angeles, that sufficient evidence
was gathered upon which to make ar
rests.
InOmaS MOnleZ, MeA4CdH, was a

Los Angeles on Santa Fe train
Shortly after "Chick" Wallace, said
to be his partner, was arrested and
lodged in Jail at Williams, Ariz, and
John oliver, said to be another mem
ber of the smuggling ring, was taken
into custody at Tucson. T. J. Muir
ply and M. l.. Harris, arrested and
confined in the county Jail, awaiting
action of the federal grand jury on a
charge of having opium in their pos
session. are believed by the federal au-
thorities to be the leaders of the ring.
The federal authorities say that
within few days there will be sensa-
tional disclosures.

MOTHER-IN-LAW OF

Repudiates Creditors of Anita Stew
arts Royal Husband, Claiming
Their Numerous Demands
Are Quite Exorbtant

VIENNA, March 5.-High society
here is having an object lesson in the
way an American woman of spirit can
turn a deaf ear to the dictates of
good form when she thinks there is a
scheme to impose on her Mrs. James
Henry Smith furnishes the introduc-
ton by refusing to redeem the effects
Of the Duke of Wien (who recently
married her daughter, Anita Stewart)
from creditors, whose demands she
deems usurious The critical have in
timated that the affair is scandalous.
but that opinion doesn't bulge Mrs.
Smith.
Much sarcastic comment is afloat
concerning the skill with which young
Prince Miguel of Braganza, now wear
ing the title of Duke of Wien, con-
trived to hold at bay his creditors un-
til he married a young woman with
millions. Mrs. Smith evidently has
her own views on the subject. Her
present attitude shows that she re-
CARDS the creditors as vultures intent
on preying on her daughters fortune.
Nobody can persuade her to submit
to it. She was not moved even by
avoWedlyfriendsly comment that it was
bad form not to staVe off seizure of
the effects, with implied disposal at
an execution sale. She heeds quite as
the claims are not usurious. Her offer
remains unchanged TO pay the cred
itors half their claims, and she de-
clares positively that in that offer she
has spoken the last word as to settle
ment.
1t is notorious that Archduchess
Maria Theresa, BraganZa's aunt, beg
CARED herself to keep the Braganzas,
father and son, out of the bankruptcy
court She went to the extent of part
ing with the famous jewels, and thus
shut herself out of active participation
in the functions of the Austrian court.
The archduchess reckoned on a mil
lionaire marriage to put the nephew
straight. Now she sees her sacrifices
for him were fruitless. At her in
stance, it is reported, Archduke Fran
els Ferdinand, her stepson and heir to
the throne, has served notice on Wien
that he must not return to Austria
until all his debts are honestly dis
charged. Discipline may go so far as
to force him into involuntary bank
ruptcy.
Lampooners and verse-makers are
dealing with the case in the news
papers, not sparing any Of the persons
involved. Scandalous stories have ap-
peared about Wien.
He is at Cannes, where he plays polo
daily with the duke of NiVa. His
spendthrift father is in Ceylon.

WITHDRAW PARTY FARES
TO END RATE DISPUTE
Fears of Western Railroads Are Al
layed by Settlement of
Differences

CHICAGO, March 5.-Fears of the
western railroads that the controversy
over second class party fares from Chi
cago to st. Paul and Minneapolis
would spread to the proportions Of a
rate war, affecting the principal cities
of the west, were allayed by the an
nouncement that a settlement had been
agreed on.
The low rates made by the 500 line
and met by the Chicago Great Western
and the Illinois Central will be with
drawn after having been in effect for
thirty days from the date of the tariffs
filed with the commission, which is
March o.
This means the abolition of second
class party fares in the territory west
of Chicago which long have been a
matter of dispute.

The advancement which apple culture
received by the recent convention Of the
Vermont Horticultural society in Brat
tleboro is told by The Reformer Of Brat.
tleboro in the following:-
"A splendid showing of the Vermont
State Horticultural society in Brattle-
boro this week illustrates pointedly the
scope of this organizations opportunity
to benefit the state by preaching and ex-
employing the gospel of fruit growing
at home. That Windham county is fast
coming to realize what may be accom-
plished along this line is indicated by
the excellent display made by orchardists
in this section. There is no reason why
Vermont apples cannot be made as
famous in the great market of the East
as the fruit that is shipped across the
continent from Oregon aud other western
states, and the medium through which
this fame should come about is the soci-
ETY. whose members have been in session
here this week. Here's health to the
Green Mountain apple; may it live long
aud prosper
Vermont can do much toward iHcreas-
ing its income by cnltivating the apple
along scientific lines, and The Windham
county growers are not the only ones
who are approaching that fact. Apple
growing promises to be one of the chief
features Of agriculture during the next
few years.
