EALSE STORIES
1 ARECIRCULATED
Rogers Says Attempts Are
Made to Cause Trouble
With Chief Seymour

That there was a faction in San
Francisco endeavoring to create trou-
bic between himself and Chief of Po-
lice Seymour was the opinion of Earl
Rogers, attorney in charge of the in
vestigation of the dynamiting of the
building Of the Los Angeles Times, ex-
pressed in an emphatic statement yes
terday.
1T is evident" he said, from the
persistency with which false stories
are being circulated that there is a
class of persons here who are doing
everything in their power to bring
about trouble between myself and Chief
Seymour. The purpose of such en-
deavors can be none other than to in
terfere with the work of the investiga-
tion. 1 fully understand that nothing
would satisfy this faction more than to
see trouble between the men working
on the case, but they might as well
understand that there is not going to
be any.
NO TROUBLE WITH CHIEF
II do not know who are behind all
these stories. know, however, that
there seems to be a persistent and
systematic endeavor to create false i'm
pressions in the public mind and to
start dissension and strife between us
who are doing the work of running
down the criminals. The reason for
this is best known TO those who are
responsible for the stories.
II wish now to emphatically deny
any and all stories of trouble between
myself and Chief Seymour. There has
been none and there is neither any
probability nor reason for there being
any. We are both doing our respective
duties, and all our discussions regard
ing the case have not only been friendly.
but in the method of procedure we
hold the same views.
The report from Los Angeles to
the effect that had telegraphed there
saying I was meeting with opposition
from Chief Seymour is absolutely false.
I never sent any such telegram and l
have never said any such thing. Like
the stories which have been circulated
In San Francisco it is part of the gen
era1 scheme to create dissension."
Chief Seymour was equally emphatic
in his statements corroborating Rogers.
LABOR LEADERS TO TESTIFY
There has not been the least trou-
ble,' he said. Il have said this sew
eral times and wish it to be dis
tinctly understood
The fact that Olaf Tveitmoe, secre-
tary treasurer of the building trades
council, ands Anton Johannsen, San
Francisco organizer of the Los Angeles
strike, would be made to appear as
witnesses before the grand jury of Los
Angeles has been established, Rogers

Scope of Alliance

The scope of the new alliance was
thus summarized last night on behalf
of the Western Pacific:
1.-THE Western Pacific railway has
consummated arrangements for the
open interchange of passenger business,
both one way and round trip tickets,
withthe Santa Fe route at San Fran
cisco and Stockton. 1t has also ar
ranged an interchange with the Pa
cific Coast Steamship company via Los
Angeles to points on and via the Santa
Fe route coast lines.
This arrangement will enable the
Western Pacific to become a factor in
the sale of interchangeable tickets
from all eastern points to the Pacific
coast.
Before this deal was entered into
with the Santa Fe it was not possible
for the Western Pacific to enjoy any
business to and from and Pacific coast
points except those local to its own
line"

Can Compete With S. P.

The combination will enable the
Western Pacific to offer passenger
routes competitive with those of the
Southern Pacific. They will be able
to bring tourists here over the north
ern line and ticket them home by the
southern route, or vice versa. This
has been the policy of the Southern
Pacific.
The inclusion of the sea trip as part
of the routing system is regarded as
an interesting departure in railroading.
1t is taken as an evidence of the
Western Pacifc's determination to get
a big share of the California business.
The new traffic agreement opens up
entirely new competitive possibilities
in California railroading. IT will af-
ford, for instance, a new direct connec-
tion between the Sacramento and San
Joaquin valleys. Heretofore the South
ern Pacific alone has been in position
to carry passengers from Sacramento
to Fresno, for example. Under the new
arfang cement. the Western Pacific could
deliver the Sacramento passengers to
the Santa Fe at Stockton for travel
into Fresno.

and neither side is overlooking oppor-
tunlties to strengthen it's case. Interest
Is added to the case by the fact that G..

supposed the defense Will offer testi-
mony to the effect that when the gov
witness, whose name is lgna-
thus Carrier, made the affidavit which
forms the basis for the action against
the four Mobridge men, I've did so in an
honest effort to correct testimony
which he had previously given in he
indian liquor case, and that he did this
without undue solicitation and with
out consideration, monetary or other
wise. The trial of the cas- promises
to continue over several days.
Leroy Millay. a resident of Douglas
county, was arraigned before Judge
Garland entered 81 plea of guilty
to an indictment charging him with

contains three counts, the first based
upon an obscene latter which he mailed

NUCLEUS OF WALSH
FORTUNE WAS LAID
IN The BLACK Hills
Part OF 1t Dug From the Ground
and Part Secured Through
Mine Sales.

Deadwood, S. D., April 15.-It was
here in the Black Hills, within ten
miles Of this city, that the late Thomas
+. Walsh, the mining multi-million-
aire laid the foundation for his great
fortune.
In the summer of 1875, prior to the
time when the government had ac-
CURED from the Sioux Indians the title
to he Black Hills, Walsh came over
land from Cheyenne. Wyo. Enroute
the wagon train, which he accompan-
led, had numerous skirmishes with
Indians and just before reaching Gus
ter City, Walsh's team was stolen,
which left him to max the balance of
the journey on foot. Reaching Custer
City he is said to have had but SIS, which
he spent for flour and bacon, the
former being 25 and the latter rs cents
per pound.
Walsh a Carpenter.
Walsh was q carpenter and at the
time there vas a brisk demand for
men of this trade, wages being $40
per day. Borrowing a saw and a
until he had saved $3.50. About this
time gold was discovered in Dead
wood gulch and a stampede set in,
Walsh being one of the first to reach
the new diggings. He located in the
Two Bit district, stalking out a claim.
During the work hours OF the day., ne
~prospected for gold and mornings and
evenings, labored on the construction
of a cabin, built of logs and covered
with pine boughs.
In a few weeks the claim in the Two
Bit district was paying $40 per day
and a month later it yielded 500 per
day in nuggets and coarse gold. With
the money saved, he bought the
Anchor claim, adjoining the Two Bit
and tho two wpra worked tnppthnr In
two years Walsh cleaned up $50, 200
and sold out for $4,000 more. Taking
this money, he went to Colorado,
where he invested in mining property
that inside of five years made him a
millionaire.
The old cabin hat housed Walsh
when he was a poor miner is standing
and the kit of carpenter tools with
which he worked, were sent to him In
Colorado a few months ago.

Berlin, April 1S.-When the Reichstag

ment submitted a measure providing
for the taxation of the unearned incre-
ment of land. Through this legislation
the government simply will take for
imperial uses six per cent of the taxes
derived by the municipalities from I'M

will yield ST, 800, 900 as the municipalities
are now collecting about $125, 000, 900,
from the unearned Increment annually.
For the present the government will

ing increases in the values of stocks.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, April 18.-The law
today offered no relief to Michael Kin
sci, Of Exeter, near here, whose wife
burned up his wooden leg on Saturday
night to prevent him going to saloons
and getting drunk. Today he had her
arrested and brought before Alderman

mitted burning the leg.

to the saloons every Saturday night
and get drunk, SO in a fit of anger I
took his leg and burned 1t. 1t was as
clared.

and dismissed the case.
