ATTORNEY FREDERICKS ASKS

Sacramento, Jan. 1S. - Another
vague reward, supposed to have been
clfered for the arrest and conviction
Of the dynamiters of the Times build
ing In Los Angeles, went glimmering
today when State Controller A. B.
Nyo turned down the demand of John
D. Fredericks, district attorney of
Los Angeles county, for $4,000, pre-
sulned to have been hung up by the
state.
Nye refused to come through with
the money, first, because no reward
was ever offered by the state, and
second, bcause the contingency
fund.-" from which it was proposed to
take $4,000, contained about $50.
Fredericks, in making the demand,
stated that he was also collecting for
William j. Burns, the detective.
The claim was based upon action
taken by the state assembly October
5, 1910. This body, by an over
whelming vote, authorized the offer
of a $4,000 reward, and proposed to
take 1t out of the contingent funds
OF the senate and assembly. The
senate, however, stepped on the plan.
The assembly then agreed to hang
up q reward on it's own account, and
this Freward was to come out of its
contingent fund.

The CHINESE

FALSE PRETENSE
UNITED PRESS LEASED w1Rn.l

Fresno, Cal, Jan. 1S.-That 100000
Chinese are now in this country under
false pretenses of being merchants is
the charge made by A. f. Yoell, secre-
tary of the Asiatic Exclusion League,
in report to the State Building
Trades Council here. Yoell asserted
that 5000 Cinnamon had arrived within
the past year; and that Chinese immi-
grafton was rapidly increasing. He re-
ported that except for Japanese wo-
men, who come as "picture brides"
but are really here as common labor
ers, the Japanese have quit coming.
For protection of the white labor
of the country Yoell recommended the
passage by congress of the Baker bill.
He approved the adoption also of a
memorial to congress and asked that
steps be taken to deal with European
immigration problems before the Pan
anna canal shall be opened.

New York, Jan. 18.-Hero of mys-
terious case of changing identity, Cap
tain Bartin Cruikshank, of Potsdam,
New York, soldier, athlete and educa-
tor is today sought by the New York
police in a case of unique type.
Vanishing after crushing his canoe,
so that he would be believed to be
dead, Captain Cruikshank wandered
through the mountains and ultimately
returned to New York as Gerald
Douglass Under that name he court
ed Catherine Roberts, of Centre Nor
iches, Long Island, and plans, were
laid for their marriage. A former as
sociate came upon the scene and rec
ognized Gerald Douglass" as the sup
posedly dead Cruikshank.
Saturday Cruikshank again van
ished, ostensibly going to Nuguabo,
Porto Rica Miss Roberts accompan-
led him to the pier, and says she saw
him set sail. Then she returned to her
home to discover that Douglass is
Cruikshank. Friends told the girl that
he did not really sail, but took anoth-
er route.
Cruikshank is married and has two
children. In July of 1910, he canoed
up the st. Lawrence river. His
wrecked canoe was recovered He was
not seen again until located here.
l.. b. CHM, an attorney, saw Cruik-
shank after his identity had been pos
itively established. He said that
Cruikshank lost all his money trying
to establish a military school, and
then disappeared.
Catherine Roberts said today: 81
knew Mr.. Cruikshank as Douglass, and
had no reason to suspect otherwise.
He suggested marriage to me, and |
agreed. We were to have been mar
ried when his business became more
profitable. The knowledge that he is
a married man and has two children
has prostrated me. But | am glad
that discovered his duplicity in
time"
Upon returning from the mountains
Cruikshank, under the name of Doug
lass" went to work in Cleveland, O.
He returned to New York, and here he
was recognized by Adjutant-General
Verbeck.
After Cruikshank's disappearance

Indianapolis, Ind Jan. 18.-Pro-
hibited by its constitution from favor
ing any specific political party, the
United Mine Workers of America, in
convention here, adopted today a sub
stitute resolution for. the measure pro-
posed yesterday, which endorsed So
cialism, and demanded that organized
labor enter politics. The substituted
resolution is not marked by any strong
recommendation but merely advocated
independent political action.
The bill introduced by Congressman
Victor L. Berger, of Wisconsin, which
provides a pension for the aged and
infirm was endorsed by the conven-
tion, and that portion of the measure
which provides that no court shall be
invested with power to annul the bill,

The substitute resolution also al
alleged that political and judicial pow

and declared that the time may come

With the assurance of Carl Grey,
president of the Hin lines of Oregon,
Electric will, within the next six
weeks, construct new depot in the
city, much speculation is being in
dulged in as to its location, and that
speculation seems to be in favor of the
Max Buren, block on Court and High
streets. The assurance that new de-
pot would be built was given to Mayor
Lachmund in letter several days
ago.
Whether the depot, when built, will
be a permanent structure is another
question concerning which there is
much speculation. Representatives of
the Oregon Electric, it is known, eX-
amined three sites for the depot-the
one on which the Salem hotel is locat-
ed, the one where the Hubbard build
ing is located and the Buren block.
The latter, for several reasons, seemed
to impress the representatives as the
most suitable.
May BE Temporary.
In view of the fact that the Oregon
Electric has made such hard fight
for it's franchise on Front street, and,
that, with it's extension to Albany and
Eugene, that the requirement of that
franchise will give the company a
straight run through the city, there is
an opinion advanced by some that if a
depot is built on High street it will be
but a temporary structure. The com
pany may build it, it is asserted, but
it is more likely, it is stated, that it
will be built by other parties and
leased by the company. Then when
the extension to Albany and Eugene is
completed it is stated, the company
will probably abandon it, and build a
permanent depot on some property on
its Front street line. In support of
this theory the fact is pointed out that
considerable time would be lost by the
company having to run its cars to
High street for its passengers.
Tenants on the Buren, property-a
few of them, have already been noti-
fled to vacate, and this strengthens
the theory that this site is the site
which the company for, the present,
has selected for its depot.
