SECRECY Is SHOWN
WALNUT CREEK CLEW
PROVES FALSE ALARM

OAKLAND. April 19.-Hermann
Whitaker, the novelist and DIR. Crap
vile E. Shuey of East Fourteenth
street and Thirteenth avenue are the
two men who startled Walnut Creek
and way stations last night by their
resemblance to train robbers and
brought out posses of armed officers
and citizens.
Trains automobiles and horses were
pressed into requisition yesterday aft
ernoon TO capture them, after warning
of their presence had been given by
J. +. Freftas, a store keeper of Wal
nut Creek. The pair was followed but
not caught. The country around Wal
nut Creek was secured by many men,
but they were not found. Last night,
while the hunt for them was still go
ing on Zealously, Whitaker and Shuey
arrived in Oakland >and went to bed
at their respective homes, all unsus-
picious that they had been taken for
bandits and that they would have been
arrested on sight if they had been
seen by the Contra Costa posses.
SOUNDED FALSE ALARM
Whitaker and Shuey were walking
back from Mount Diablo. where they
went Friday. They had not shaved
since they started. One of them is tall,
while the other is not. At any rate
freitaS thOught they looked ike the
train robbers who are being so anX-
iously sought. They stopped at his
store yesterday afternoon TO buy few
crackers and some chewing tobacco
Freitas did not betray his suspicious.
Controlling himself he sold them what
they wanted and bided his time until
they had departed.
GENERAL POLICE CALL
Then he rushed to his telephone and
sounded the alarm. Sheriff Veale of
Contra Costa county. Sheriff Barnet of
Alameda, the police department of Oak
land and all the constables in the vi
cinity Of Walnut creek were told TO
come on the run and capture the two
desperadoes. There was a stampede for
Walnut creek. Officers arriving there
questioned the store keeper, got what
Information he had and whirleJ off
after the pair.
Whitaker and Shuey walked along
the road for a while and then decided
TO cut across country. They left the
road and took to the hills, striking
straight for Oakland. In this way the
posses missed them

COUSIN Of king
A DAY -LABORER
Grandson of Count de COlmar
of France Found Working
in Oil Fields
Mothers Frantic Search Re-
suits in Locating Youth
Busy at New Job
Especial Dispatch TO The Call

BAKERSFIELD, April 19.-All un-
conscious of a frantic search being
made for him by his mother, Robert de
Colmar, the Is year old grandson of
count de Colmar of France, and sec
ond cousin to the king of SaXony, has
been toiling side by side with day
laborers since last Thursday on the
west side oil fields at Moron
Lured by love of commercial enter
prise and development and seeing vi
slons of great future in the oil
fields, the young nobleman joyfully ac-
cepted an opportunity suddenly pre-
sented to him last Thursday to find
work which would bring him shoulder
to shoulder with his fellow men. 1t
was only after fearful persuasion on
the part of his mother and in obedience
to her earnest wishes that he reluctant
ly gave up his new found position this
morning, following a dramatic meeting
with his mother, who had gone to
Moron in search of him.
SEPARATED BY ACCIDENT
The love between mother and son
is OF the deepest nature, and it was due
to a chain of misunderstanding and ac-
cident that Nine de Colmar had re-
manned in ignorance of the lads where
abouts. For more than month Nine.
de Colmar and her son have been liv-
ing in an elaborat tely furnished suite at
the new Southern hotel in this city,
and have been constant companions.
Last week the young nobleman went

BODY WASHES ASHoRE-Long Beach, April
19.-The body of man about 45 years OF age
was washed ashore here today. Foul play is
suspected because of wounds on the head
Seeminly the man was a mechanic.
The San Francisco call., 1910-04-20

to Moron, about 80 miles from here, to
be gone only few days. He was ex-
pected to return Thursday and it was
leagned that he had left the Pioneer
hotel, where he had been stopping in
Moron. but beyond that no trace of
his whereabo could be discovered.
Deeply distressed by his absence and
fearing that he had met with foul play,
the countess appealed to Father treund
and to the Sheriff for assistance and
then set out in person for the oil
fields.
Ten minutes after her arrival in
Moron this morning the countess and
her son were clasped in each others
arms The mothers first question had
elected the information that her miss
ing offspring was in town and had just
passed down the main street. Hurry
ing to the postofice, she found him just
in the act of mailing a registered let
ter to her at Bakersfield. The fact that
he was attired in overalls and jumper,
greasy and begrimed with oil. did not
prevent the warmth of an embrace in
which all the enthusiasm of the French
nature was uppermOSt.

who leases the ranch, was also sum-
moned to the train. He saw the two
men in the cabin on several occasions.
When these two men boarded the car
of superintendent Whitney it was
pulled out Immediately for Oakland,
running special and having the right
of way. All Information regarding the
object of the trip was refused until
the party returned here late tonight
when it was announced that Ludde and
Knight had been taken to Oakland to
look at two suspects held by the bay
police who were arrested in San Fran
cisco.
On their return here Ludde and
Knight both expressed the opinion that
the men in the Oakland jail were not
the persons who occupied the Frazier
cabin and were suspected of robbing
the mail.
Sheriff Veale also announced on the
return of the expedition from the bay
city that the men had failed TO iden-
tify the prisoners as the tall and short
suspects although there were many
circumstances which warranted fur
ther detailed investigation of the rec
ords of the men being held by the po-
lice.
SECRECY Is SHOWN
1t is believed here tonight that the
authorities are in possession of evil
dence which points TO the guilt of the
Oakland suspects, but that they do
not want to give it out until after En-
gineer George Marsh and Fireman
Benjamin Blakeley have had an oppor-
tunity to see the men being held.
Supporting this belief is the evident
reluctance of Sheriff Veale to discuss
the matter
The San Francisco call., 1910-04-20
TOOk JOB AS LABoRER


Young De Colmar's explanation was
quickly made. Just after leaving his
hotel last Thursday he had been offered
a laborer's job on the Union lease near
town and had accepted it without a
minutes hesitation. He had written
his mother at once and again on Sun
day. but in some manner both letters
had gone astray. Worried at his fail
ure to hear from her, he had gone to
mail the registered letter when the
dramatic meeting occurred.
The countess accompanied her son
back to his place Of employment,
where, at her request, he resigned. He
did so sorrowfully, for he insisted that
he was interested in the work and
wished to remain. The superintendent
declared that he had proved to be an
excellent workman, and De Colmar
showed wonderful Improvement from
the week that he had been in the air
and sunshine. He said that If he could
gain his mothers consent he would go
back to the oil fields in a few days and
remain there the rest of the summer.
