 IT. l.. Knight, husband of the wom- an, was arrested at the same time she was taken but he was ordered TO- leased by the court as there was noth- ing to indicate he was connected with the alleged robbery of rhe Chicago physician.
 For more than two weeks the po- lice department has been working un- der instructions from Chicago officers to locate a nurse" here. who was sup- posed to have a double handful of diamonds The woman came here from El Paso, and later was joined by her husband, who came in from Canada

KING and PREMIER CLASH?
AsoulTH DlsREeARDs RULERS
INVITATION TO VISIT HIM.
His Action Is Almost Unprecedented
and Amounts to An Affront
to Edward.

London, Feb. ,1.-Politicians are dis
cussing eagerly the evidence that q
clash has taken place between King
Edward and Premier Asquith.
1t develops that on last Tuesday the
king invited Premier and Mrs. AsQuith
to pay a week's-end visit to him at
Windsor castle, presumably to discuss
the political situation Such invita-
tions are usually considered in the
nature of commands, to disobey which
would amount to an affront to the
king. as.v%
On last Saturday Asquith left for
Cannes, France, for a brief vacation
AS Asquith's action is almost unpre
cedented. it is believed that he and
the king clashed over the policy to
be pursued in the forthcoming parlia
ment. 1t is Uncomfortable that he
would refuse to discuss the situation
with the king unless something had
occurred to make his acceptance OF
the premiership impossible.

made his strike with this particular
man. Approaching the jury box. he
addressed himself to this one jury
man and said:

happened. The plaintiff was in com

CLAWS introduces Letters to Bear
Out Charges.
SAYS BENNETT CROOKED
Witness Declares Representatives Nc
Lachlan and kinkaid Were In
tereSted in Alaskan Claims
One Figured on Reslsnfng.

Washington, Jan. 31.-More start
ling disclosures and accusations against
Secretary of the Interior BallingeI
were made by Louis r. CLAWS, ousted
land department official, in closing his
testimony before the Ballinger-Pinchot
congressional investigating committee
The witness will be recalled for
cross examination on behalf of the
long list of persons against whom he
has made chargs.
Discloses Animus.
Claws closing testimony developed
the animus which long has existed be
tween the land Office and the forestry
bureau and the resentment the LAND
officials felt when CLAWS called In
the forestry" as they termed it.
The witness also declared that Rep
resentative McLachlan of California
and Representative Kinkaid Of Ne
braska were interested in Alaskan
claims and that Mr. Ballinger, aftel
being commissioner of the land office
had acted as attorney for Mr.. Kin
kaid.
BaIilnser HaIts Inquiry.
CLAWS asserted that Mr.. Ballingel
had suggested to him not to pursue al
investigation against Congressman Nc
Lachlah, saying there had been "tOt
much of that sort of thing in the
past" r.' .
When, toward the close OF his testi
mony, CLAWS was asked the direc
question if he thought Secretary Bal
linger and Commissioner Of the Lane
Office Dennet were in league to d.
wrong in the Alaskan cases he, re
piled: -
We'll, ! thought the cases would
be better protected with them out o.
the way"
CLAWS attack seemed to center
more upon Commissioner bennett. HI,
said he became convinced in the sum
mer Of 1909 that bennett was crook
ed" and took steps to obtain carbon
copies of letters bennett was writing
back to Washington. Several of thes,
letters were introduced in evidence.
Once Figured on Resignins.
The witness gave further details o
his work in connection with the frsut
cases, and said he once had though
of resigning from the service in orde
to give out the facts to the press, bu
was advised not to do that, as it woult
make too much of a scandal at the
beginning of President Taft's admin
istration. ....s
CLAWS gave more details as to how
he came into possession of the Gun
ningham journal, which he, declared
contained proof that fraud was con
templated in this group of coal lane
