SAN FRANCISCO, March AT the
close of the investigation of the So
called fish combine today Senator Ed
ward l. Wolfe, chairman of the legis-
lative committee, announced that the
investigators were satisfied that COM
bination in restraint of trade exists
and that sufficient evidence has been
gathered to justify the attorney gen.
eral of the state or the district at
torney of San Francisco in proceeding
against the members of the alleged
trust under the antitrust laws of CAL
ifornia.
A number of retail fish dealers
called as witnesses agreed in confirm
ing the statement previously made by
others in the state that they were
forced to stop patronizing an in
dependent concern by a refusal of the
wholesalers in the alleged trust to
supply them if they did not do so. One
dealer, A. Faraone, testified to having
been fined $50 for selling fish one-half
a cent lower than the price fixed by the
combine.

PRISONERS WITH MAN

Nothing Heard of Alleged Counterfeit
ers Since They Left for Los
Angeles About Two
Weeks Ago

SAN FERNANDO, March THE
two alleged counterfeiters arrested in
San Bernardino on February 20, to-
gether with officer Vechey of Los An
geles, who took charge of the prls-
oners and started for that city with
them. have disappeared, according to
a letter received today by Sherln
Ralphs from Chief Hazen of the Unit
ed States secret service at Los An
geles.
Hazen read Of the arrest of the two
men in the newspapers, but Is unable
to locate either the prisoners or the
officer in Los Angeles. Vechey has
not been identified by Hazen as a Los
Angeles officer
The two men were supposed to have
been traced here by the officer, who
after their arrest handcuffed them and
started presumably for Los Angeles.
Only a bogus half dollar was found on
the men here and the local police re-
fused TO hold them on that evidence,
and they were turned over to the
officer.
Hazen asks the assistance of the
local authorities in sitting the matter
to the bottom.

FIND 81 BODIES
IN IDAHO SLIDE
WORKMEN CONTINUE TO DIG
IN BIG AVALANCHE
Great Northern Railroads List of the
Known Dead Totals 81, but
Many More Victims Are
Buried In Snow
Associated Pressl

WELLINGTON, Wash, March T.
Fifty-four bodies had been taken from
the avalanche ruins this afternoon,
leaving about sixty-five still in the
gulch. All but three of the bodies re-
covered are identified. 1t is thought
that the smoking car of the passenger
train, which had been turned into a
bunk house for about thirty foreign
laborers has been located, and that its
load of dead will be taken out tomor-
row.
The railroad company expects to
bring a train into wellington tomor-
row and to send it to Spokane at
once with the sick people now in the
bunk house hospital, and the bodies
brought out since the morgue was
cleared by shipments to Everett and
Seattle.
There seems no reason to doubt that
every body will be recovered this week.
All the dead are well preserVd in the
snow, which in some cases is packed SO
tightly about them that 1t has made
a mold, as if alabaster, preserving a
cast of the features and clothing OF
the victims.
The clear, cool weather has banisned
fear of further landslides.
Excavations in the gorge avalanche
were continued all day by 200 men IN
the service Of the Great Northern rail-
road. 1t is expected that they will find
only a few more bodies. Exploration
will be begun on a thorough scale when
the railroad track from the east side OF
the Cascades is opened tomorrow.
The track on the west side of the
mountains will not be opened until
Friday. For three days, therefore, the
dead will b taken to Spokane.
OF the fifty-two bodies taken from
the ruins, only six remain here and
some of these are not identified. The
Great Northern's new revised list Of
dead and injured contains the names
of eighty-seven passengers, trainmen
and postal employees. The number OF
foreign laborers is not known posi-
lively and there is no record OF thelr
names There may have been thirty
They were asleep in the smaking car,
which has not yet been found.
The bodies of John Fox and Charles
8 Tadu. mail clerks, both of Spo-
kane, were found today.
