JEALOUS WOMAN
BETRAYs CYCLIST
lifted Sweetheart Reveals to the
Police Hiding Place of
Jake De Roster

Smarting under the humiliation of
another girl having taken her place in
the affections of Jake De Roster, the
motorcycle speed king, charged with
the abduction of pretty 16-year-old
Pearl Clark, beautiful young woman,
stylishly attired, called at police head
quarters early yesterday morning and
revealed the hiding place of her former
sweetheart.
De Roster was taken into custody a
few minutes later in the Edgemere
rooming house on South Main street
where he had remained in hiding sew
eral days, supplied with food by his
friends.
Detectives Parker and Mack. who
made the arrest, say they came on
De Roster just after he had been
served with a sumptuous meal by his
friends.
In his cell at the city Jail De Roster
declared he had no knowledge of the
Clark girls minority and that he took
pity on a story she told him of abuse
and i'll treatment at home. IF she
desires it, or is willing, L will marry
the girl" he said. "She told me she
was 10 years old. Her looks bore out
her statement. 1 met her some months
ago on the street. We were frequently
in each others company. l intended
to marry her, anyway. This miXup has
seriously affected my career. The
statement that l intended fleeing from
the state with her is ridiculous, as
had signed up for many months OF
racing here"
The young woman who revealed DE
Rosters hiding place conveyed her IN
formation in a neatly written note
which she left at the desk sergeant''
window for the detectives. Before they
read it's contents she had disappeared
The note read:
"De Roster is hiding in the Edgemere
rooming house, conducted by French
man who is a personal friend of his
Don't take any CUFF from the French
man. Just walk in and find him. He is
in a room near the end of the hall, and
his friends of the track are bringing
him food. If you don't get him quicl
they will have shipped him out of the
state"
The news that De Roster had been
captured brought satisfaction into the
Clark home at 2716 South Grand ave-
nue.. "This man will pay the penalty
for his act" said the father yesterday
"I am glad they have him. The
charges he makes that Pearl received
i'll treatment at honse are without the
slightest foundation. 1 am convinced
he would have taken her out of the
state if we had not secured her by a
ruse.'
Shortly after he made this statement
Clark says, he was visited by George
Iralncr, De Rosters manager, who
Clark says, offered him $4,000 to droI
proceedings against the rider. This sc
incenssd Clark that he assailed Kra-
mer and drove him from the place

"A an unusual interest in the now

it is expected that the coming week
will see many sensations in the de-

returns its verdict it is predicted that
the case of DR.. Hyde will take its rank
as among the most famous murder
trials in the United States. Prosecutor
Virgil Conklin has asked for the death
penalty against the physician. Not
since the first suspicion was cast on
DR.. Hyde has he looked as pleasant
and as composed as he did in the court
room. Mrs Hyde occupies a seat by
his side. Almost Immediately behind
and not six feet from her sit her
mother, Mrs. Logan 0. Swope. and her

.HEGIRA IN CHICAGO
WILL, BE EXPENSIVE
Moving Day, Coming on Sunday,
viii Cost Migrators Addi-
tionaI Union Prices
Especial to The Horaid)

CHICAGO, April 17-Chicago's great
annual hegira, when $4,000 families pull
up stakes and migrate to some other
fiat. will be a costly process this year.
Landlords and moving van companies
have so arranged leases that people
can move only on May /. This year
the date falls Sunday. and as
all moving van people employ union
labor this means double price for
everything. This means that every
one of 5000 families who will move
on that day will be forced to pay Sc
an hour for services of van. In addi-
ton there will be double price for
helpers. -.
The moving fever, peculiar to Chi
cago. is sort of a tragic joke. People
move from one fiat into another no
whit better. pay an average of $40 for
moving, live off mantels and sleep in
bathtubs for a week, see their house
hold goods wrecked and probably ind
themselves in a worse community than
that which they left. Yet they move
every year.

Nevertheless, it is said, "the report
on the whole is complimentary to the
company. The examiners find the
company has complied, in the main,
with the insurance laws as amended
by the Armstrong committee"
The examiners believe the eXpendi-
ture of the policyholders' money for
questionable purposes has been def
initely ended.
"The examiners state" says the re-
port, proper restraints have been
placed by the company upon the sup
ply department, where expenditures for
legislative and other improper pur-
poses were concealed by the previous
management, and the system in opera
ton at present will prevent the re-

creased correspondingly

Robert Dudgeon, commissioner Of

Bureau of Seattle, yesterday after
noon filed with the Oregon Railroad
Commission a tariff which becomes
effective as to Oregon state business
on August l, 10. 1t supplements
the tariff heretofore filed with the
commission, and puts into effect the
Uniform Code of Demurrage Rules
which were recommended for adop-

Railway Commissioners, and by the
American Railway Association after
long and careful investigation,
with one exception that the demur-
rage on Oregon business state busi-
ness will be So per car per day in
stead of 81 per day.
Section 26 of the railroad commits

rage, and while heretofore it has
not been collected by the commits

consent to the exaction of any other
sum for demurrage than that pro-

Father Point, Quebec, July as
Chief Constable McCarty and In

spector Dew, of Scotland Yard, in ar
resting DR.. H. H. Crippen, the
American dentist, whom the police
charge with numbering his wife in

their power to secure the arrest Of
Crippen and his companion, in case
they are aboard the Montrose, when
the vessel docks.
Scotland Yard today cabled minute
descriptions of the couple, which, 1t
is believed, will make 1t impossible
for Crippen and the woman to escape

Inpector Dew is to arrive here on

SENATOR FRYE SAYS WILL
NOT RETIRE FROM POLITICS

Boston, Mass, July 2S.-Senator
William P. Frye, of Maine, has no
intention of following the example
of his colleague, Eugene Hale, and
retiring from public life. Frye's
secretary, William Sands, vouches
for the statement that Frye will re-
main in the senate.
"The senator says he will resign
only when he dies" said Sands.
The retirement Of Senator Hale
came as a surprise to the Maine poll
ticians. Hale is one of the oldest
senators, is point of service, and his
determination to drop out at the end
of his present term, followed short
ly the announcement that Senator
Aldrich would not be a candidate for
reelection.
Senator Frye is a power in New
England politics, and the report that
he would retire was widely discussed
here. 1t was given some credence
because of Hales action.

to a letter received today by "Mexi-

three. 1t is known that Pinchot
plans to fish with former Governor
George Pardee and Prof. Charles
F. Holder of Pasadena. The identl-

The demurrage on state shipments

of being unloaded promptly and put

TACOMA CITY

Line AT OUTS
COUNCIL INSISTS INTERURBAN
SHALL TAKE OUT FRANCHISE
AND ADOPT FIVE-CENT FARE,
AND RAILWAY WILL STOP
TRAINS UPON OUTSKIRTS OF
CITY.

Tacoma Wash, July 28.-The
Seattle-Tacoma interurban trains
may be stopped at the Tacoma city
limits, 1S blocks from the present
depot, if the city council stands pat
on its resolution passed yesterday.
The interurban company has no fran
chise in the city of Tacoma, but
comes in on tracks of an allied COM
pany. The council, in an effort TO
bring the local street car company
to terms on the scent fare issue,
passed a resolution giving the inter-
urban concern ten days in which TO
apply for a franchise.
Manager Bean, of the local COM
pany, and also of the interurban, is
aware that no franchise would be
granted unless he agrees to concede
scent fare, so he will refuse to
apply for the grant, announcing that
the interurban trains will be stopped
at the city limits, if the council en-
forces its resolution.
