Blamed for Keeping Silent

Get His Records.
I'LL DEGREE WAS GIVEN

Copenhagen, Jan. S.-Popular anger
has been excited here by an apparent
ly authenticated statement that one of
the university professors was aware,
before DR. Cook was honored here for
his alleged discovery of the north pole,
that Cook had been detected in swind-
ling in money matters in Greenland in
1894.
The professor is said to have kept
the matter secret so as not to prevent
the university from comforting de
gree on Cook
The university's committee still is
investigating Cooks original note
books. It is stated they have been
found to contain suspicious recent cor
rections.
Peary Afraidf
The question is discussed whether
the committee will investigate Com
mander Peary's papers. Professor Sa-
lomOnsen says the question has no
practical interest, as Peary is not like
ly to submit his papers to the commit
tee, fearing the result. Professor
Stroemgren, on the contrary, expects
the papers to be submitted to the com
mittee. He personally is anxious to in
vestigate them.

His wife was not in court. illness de-
tanning her at the German hospital in
San Francisco.
Rheinstron's relatives and friends
attribute his misfortunes to his actress
wife. 1t was while she was playing in
New York that the youn gman first
met her. After that. Cincinnati had
no charms for him. He made frequent
trips to the great metropolis. He wor-
SHIPPED before her scintfliating slippers.
He abandoned his business He was
caught in the maelstrom and borne
down with the eddying torrent. His
family sent him to an Ohio sanatorium.
Finally Edna herself tore him from his
surroundings. took him to kentucky
and there they weer married.
From the south Rheinstrom. and his
wife came to California. There were
family to regain him. His varied career
has now reached a climax with his
commitment to the state asylum.

business has its limits and the youn z
man was told to give up either his
beer or his Edna. He gave up the
beer.
In an endeavor to regain him Mrs.
Rheinstrom had her son placed in a
private sanatorium. Miss Lotus went
to court and got him out Then she
went with him to Kentucky and became

I IRIS. LAWN MAY
vi GET IMMUNITY
Rogers Says Promise Made to
Woman Has Brought
Out Much Evidence
Especial Dispatch to The Call

l.
/ LOS ANGELES. Oct. 24-Attorney
Earl Rogers. representative of the
Merchants and Manufacturers associa-
tion in the inquiry into the Times ex-
plosion. will present evidence before
the grand jury tomorrow which, he
says. will involve prominent labor lead
ers of the state. He asserted that Mrs.
Belle LAWN Of San Francisco, now
under arrest in Los Angeles, had made
important disclosures. He added that
she had been promised immunity for
her testimony. TvE
IL was announced by Rogers that the
theory previously entertained that an
archists were responsible for the crime
had been abandoned. That certain
other lines of inquiry had been given
up was revealed by the release Of Nor
ris Fitzgerald. the Hanford suspect.
According to Rogers he will be able
through the testimony of the LAWN
woman to trace the connection between
Bryce, ''Smithy" and others with men
prominent In labor circles. He also
volunteered the prediction that it would
be shown that money intended for
strike funds had been employed against
the Times.
Mrs LAWN, says Rogers, has told all
she knows regarding the lives. actions.
associations and companions of
"Smithy," and it is out of this that
Rogers hopes to weave a fabric of evil
dence that will result in indictments OF
the men he believes melted the crime,
as we'll as those who actually perpe-
trated the dynamiting outrage.
Since the trip of Mrs. LAWN to the
Times ruins and to the hotels where the
suspects are supposed to have regis
tered, she has been kept in the county
jail. No more third degree methods
have been used to induce her to talk,
for it is believed that she has told all
she knows.

T w. w. MEMBER
l. UNDER ARREST
Robert O'Brie n Asked to Tell
What He Knows About
Fitzgerald
Especial Dispaich TO The Call

FRESNO, Oct. 24.-Robert O'Brien, a
member of the T. W. W. who was ar
rested few days ago in this city in
connection with trouble the police have
been having with this organization, has
been taken to Hanford by Marshal
Fredericks that ii may. be ascertained
what he knows about Maurice Fitzger-
ald,f who was so mysteriously rushed
from a Hanford hospital to Los An
geles, where he is now being held as a
Times suspect.
When Fitzgerald was taken to the
Hanford hospital he had suffered from
fall from a train passing through
Hanford. He was found lying on the
tracks. A day or so after he arrived
in the hospital Charles O'Brien and f.
H. Little, two I. w. w. men, went from
Fresno to Hanford to see him. Both
men said that their sole purpose in go-
ing was to see whether or not he was
an ]. w. W. member who was beating
his way to Fresno. Itwas later learned
that he was a member Of the federation
of miners
Suspicion was attracted to O'Brien
when Fitzgerald. in his delirium, began
to talk about the Times dynamiting
The fact that O'Brien and Little had
been so solicitous for him, when they
learned he WAS injured, coupled WIKI
his statements while delirious, caused
the officers to believe that O'Brier
light know more than he had ad-
mitted.
O'Brien was subjected to severe ex-
animation by Sheriff Chittenden of this
county and Marshal Fredericks, and
later taken to Hanford that Fredericks
might question him further. The off,
GERS have no direct evidence by which
he can be connected with the dynamit-
ing.
Through a paroled prisoner from the
county Jail the sherir learned today
that E. H. Little made the statement
about 10 days before the dynamitine
of the Times building that there is q
dirty sheet down in Los Angeles we
are going to get" Little is still in the
Fresno jail and will in lall probability
be held here for some time. He had
no direct connection with the crime as
far as can be learned now"
