WHY NOT COLLECT THIS $500, 600 FROM TR &P.

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
PORTLAND, May 25.-With
Eric e. Erickson, an undertaken,
admitting that he was the author
of the fake telegram sent from Los
Angeles and purporting to be from
Mrs. Hannah Smith, Swedish
widow, who dropped from sight
here May s, the events leading up
to her disappearance seem fur
ther from solution than ever, to-
day.
Soon after the police began a
search for Mrs. Smith, Erickson
came forward with the informa-
ton that she had withdrawn sew
eral hundreds of dollars which
he had been keeping for her. He
said the last time he saw her, the
evening of May 8, she was in the
company of two strange women.
Three days ago telegram was
received by Mrs. Anna Harper, a
niece of Mrs. Smith, signed Han
nah Smith," and dated from Los
Angeles. The message asked Mrs.
Harper to send all of Mrs. Smith s
household goods to Los Angeles,
and concluded with the statement: /:
Am all right"
The Portland detectives learned
that Erickson had written to a
friend at Los Angeles. In the
letter Erickson asked his friend
to send the telegram to Mrs. Har-
per as a practical joke"
When questioned last night by
Prosecuting Attorney Cameron,
who is investigating the matter,
Erickson said that he had caused
the message to be sent with the
view to allaying the fears of Mrs.
Harper and friends of the miss
ing woman. He said he was actu-
ated by feeling of pity for the
friends and relatives.
In a statement to newspaper
men, he said: 81 know made

ing at Atlantic City, where Miss
Jane Adams lost her life while
in the company of William Sey-
Ter, charged with her murder, was
set up in the court room here to-

Seyler's attorneys contended
that Miss Adams stumbled over

alleges that Seyler struck the girl
causing her to fall to her death.

1t has become an open secret
here that the insurgents are plan
ming to make Cannon one of the
issues in the coming campaign.
1t will not be a new experience
for the speaker, as he has been
the issue in former campaigns.
but there will be some new angles
that are making the republican
house regulars decidedly uncom-
Portable.
Expect Roosevelt's Support.
The fact that the insurgents ex-
pect Rooseevlt's support is one of
the new factors and from the re-
ports of Roosevelt's promise to
the insurgents, as told exclusively
by the United Press yesterday,
it seems pretty certain politicians
here declare, that the insurgents
are figuring with considerable cer-
tainty.
Fear Crash Too Soon.
The only trouble ahead for the
insurgents is that the Cannon
part of the issue may be exploded
before the campaign begins.
Conservative members of the
progressive faction are determin-
ed not to unseat Cannon during
the present session, intending to
save him for the campaign. Radi-
cal members of the same group,
however, are anxious for the over
throw of the speaker without de-
lay and it is the fear that they
will succeed that causes the great
est uneasiness in the insurgent
camp.
Democrats Would Rally to Aid.

If the move to oust the speaker
were started is certain and it is
believed that any attempt to de.
pose Uncle Joe would be success.
full.
Meanwhile the Organization
members of the house are feeling
decidedly uncomfortable. AS one
member expressed it, they are
sitting on a powder mine and
they don't know exactly when an
explosion may occur"
The regulars realize that the
explosion is apt to come at almost
any time and that taunting the
insurgents is pretty good way to
bring it about.
Nevertheless many of the or
ganization men insert stinging
references to the insurgents in
their speeches.
No Insurgents at Caucus Tonight.
The fireworks may begin, an
other house leader predicts, when
the postal savings bank bill comes
up. The regulars undoubtedly
will endeavor to force through
the measure to be adopted at to-
nights caucus and it Is equally
certain the insurgents will fight
it. /.
Tonight's caucus, which was
expected to include all the repub-
licans in the house, to consider
the postal savings bank bill, gives
evidence today that it will turn
out to be only regular republi-
can caucus. The insurgents who
were invited to attend and at
first considered accepting the In
vitation, will not be present. A
few days ago some OF the insur-
gents announced that they would
not go to the caucus. Today Il
is declared that none of the pro-
gressives will be ON hand.
To Frame Bill in Caucus.
The purpose of the caucus. it Is
learned today, is TO consider the
postal savings bill and come to a
definite agreement on the pro-
visions that will be supported by
the regulars.
