GIGANTIC merger
FEARS AUTHORITIES
Western MiIImen Meet With
Reversal From Attorney
General Wickersham

SEATTLE, Nov. 27.-The proposed
gigantic merger of 60 tidewater saw
mills in Oregon and Washington has
met with a serious reverse in the re-
fusal Of Attorney General Wickersham
to pass upon the articles Of incorpora-
tion of the Pacific Coast Lumber COM
pany, according to advices received
here. The articles, drawn in the Office
of former United states Senator Samuel
H. Piles, were taken to Washington by
Piles. who asked Wiekersham to ex-
anime them and give an opinion
whether they conformed to the provi-
sions of the sherman antitrust law.
Piles said in Washington today:
THE attorney general took the posi-
tion that he was not authorized by law
to pass on articles of Incorporation.
He declined to give us an opinion. He
feared that if he did take action 1t
might not only embarrass the present.
but future administrations. as the plan
might not work out as anticipated
Henry ]. Pierce of Spokane. the orig
inator OF the merger plan, and Piles
went to New York today to consult the
capitalists who had agreed. to finance
the deal. There is said to be a serious
question whether the merger can be
accomplished in the absence of assur-
ance from federal authorities that IL
will be legal. The promoters promised
western miilmen that there would be
no interference by federal authorities.
and it was understood here that similar
assurances were given eastern finan-
ciers interested in the scheme.

victim of Pollos Prandegos, the
fugitive murderer from Greece,
died in ST. Luke's hospital yesterday
afternoon from the effects of bullet
wounds received Sunday at the ferry
building, George Condos, the cousin
who pointed out the slayer to Police
man Charles Castor and was fired

to death

gos, who was standing on the step
above when Condos pitched out INTO
the dark, jumped from the moving
train and took refuge in his home in
South City.
Blanaes was arrested there by Con-
stable Henry w. Kneese an hour
afterward, while posses of officers,
hastily organized were beginning
search for him that would have ex-
tended up and down and across the

Although Blanaes denied throwing
Condos from the train, the circum-
stances pointed strongly toward him,
and he was taken to the San Mateo
county Jail in Redwood City IL al

and Deputy Sheriff Gregory. He will
be charged with murder tomorrow
night after the coroner's inquest is held
to determine the manner of Condos

Condos was dead when found by the
side OF the track. The only witnesses
the authorities have been able to find
are Theodore Catshliz and William

Policeman Sights Launch

Policeman Joe Dosh of the Monterey
force was on the water front and no.
ticed the boat that was coming toward
shore with no lights burning. Dosh
knew that several federal immigration
inspectors were in Monterey expecting
the arrival of the contraband party. He
telephoned to Chief of Police Gus Eng
lund
Englund rushed to the shore and the
two men saw a small boat put off with
one man in it. They met the boat. 1t
contained Engineer Scott. Scott, when
captured. told the whole story of the
furtive trip of the small boat. He was
glad to be in the company of white
men again, so glad that he would have
incriminated himself in any detail that
would have cleared him of the unwhole-
some but profitable cargo with which
he had been associated.
When it was known that the boat
was a smuggling craft the Monterey
police put out to it and there captured
Captain James Wright and "a Chinese.
1T is believed that eight or nine Chi
nese got ashore in a dory before the
police reached the launch. It also is
feared that large quantity of opium
was snuggled ashore by the first land
ing party.
The capture of the low craft and its
Illicit passenger list was made in Mon
