MILLIONAIRE B|XBY
IS Being SOUGHT
BY OFFICERS /:

Los Angeles, April 23.-George Fl.
Bixby, millionaire of Long Beach,
Cal, wanted as a witness in the case
of Mrs Josie Rosenberg, alleged pro-
curers for wealthy southern Califor-
MIA men, was sought tonight by
county detectives, who were in
structed to arrest him on a bench
warrant
The search for Bixby was instituted
when he failed to appear in the court
of Justice Reeve, where Mrs Rosen-
berg's preliminary examination was
begun but continued pending the out
come of grand jury inquiry.
When Bixby failed to appear, JUS
tice Reeve issued a bench warrant
ordering him to appear to show
cause why he should not be adjudged
guilty of contempt of court for fail
ure to obey the subpoena.
After the Rosenberg case was con-
tinued, the grand jury began an in
vestigation of white slavery allega-
tions which followed the arrest of
Mrs. Rosenberg
Mrs. Rosenberg and an elderly
woman, said to have been known as
bS VI SSl tdiil
lighthouses of the city; several girls,
alleged frequenters of the sJonquil,
Mrs Rosenberg's resort; several
panderers and two or three men ar
rested in raids upon alleged illegal
resorts were among the witnesses
summoned by the county prosecutors.
The grand jury probe into allega-
tions that certain millionaire known
as THE Black PEARL had contributed
to the dependency of minor females
was expected to be far-reaching, al
though such an offense known tech
nically as a high-grade misdemeanor
| was punishable only by a sentence OF
a year in the county Jail as the
maximum penalty.

JACK Johnson n FINED !!
FOR HIDING JEWELRY

Chicago, April 23-Jac'1 Johnson.
negro pugilist, was fined $1,000 today
by Judge Carpenter In the. United
States district court after charges of
smuggling u $4,000 necklace had been
dropped and the heavyweight cham
pion had pleaded nolle. contendre to
charges of having concealed from fed
eral officials the fact that he had the
jeWelry in his possession. The neck
lace was declared forfeited to the
government and probably will be sold
at auction.
The action winds up the lesser OF
two cases which federal authorities
have against Johnson. He Is still to
come to trial on an indictment charg-
ing violation of the Mann law.
The necklace was brought into this
country when the pugilist and his
white wife. who afterward committed
suicide, returned from an European
tour.

FIVE BUTTE MINERS KILLED
In THE FALL OF TWO CAGES

Butte, April 23.-(Special.) )-Five
men were killed in an accident today
at the Leonard mine. an AmalgamateG
Copper property, when Engineer VIII
liam Peters lost control of one of the
big hoisting engines, which flew to
pieces causing one cage on which
were four men, to drop 1900 feet, and
another cage on which wsre eight
miners to drop 500 feet. Nine men
sustained injuries, none of which it
is believed will result fatally.
r. G. Ruddy, who made frantic
rush to catch the cage just before it
departed, missed it, but flying piece
of the engine struck him, cutting off
a leg. Nick TregloWn, a miner, who
concluded he would not go to work
and refrained from boarding, the cage,

FALL OF ScUTAR1 CAUSES RE-
JOGGING AT THE CAPITALS OF
THE FOUR NATIONS.
AUSTRIA IS D|SPLEASED
Francis Joseph's Country Wants to
Coerce Montenearins into Giving
Up tho Fortress. but Other Nations
Probably Will Not Stand for Any
Measure Of That Kind.

London. April 24.--The news of the
fall of Scutari to the Montenegrins
has been received with extraordinary
tails of the allies. especially in Bel
grade. The Bulgarian premier has
sent effusive congratulations to the
Montenegrin premier.
The first effect or the fall of the
fortress has been the extension of the
international naval blockade to Dt,-
razo. but what will be the next step
of the powers in facing the new sit
uaaion 1t is difficult to foretcn Ac-
cording to the view prevailing at st.
Petersburg, the coercion of Monte
negro would not be an easy matter.
Austria Hungary has already made
definite proposals to the powers with
a view to compelling Montenegro to
evacuate Scutari but 1t is not cer-
tain that such proposals will be well
coined.
Austria Is Aroused.
IThe Vienna correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph asserts that the
Austrian government repeatedly but
vainly has tried to induce the powers
to consent to the landing of forces
from the international fleet to put
pressure upon King Nicholas. lie
adds that Austrian patience now Is
exhausted and that Austria Insists
either thai the powers compel Monte
negro to evacuate Alhnni..n tcrrit sry
including Scutari, or that Austria be
given IL mandate to do so. Austria
believes that an expeditionary force
OF 10000 can achieve this task With
cut bloodshed and unless the powers
conc speedily to a decision, she will
act alone.
The press of the whole of Europe
recognizes that the situation is ex-
tremcly serious. Tho ambassadorial
conference met In London yesterday
and discussed the peace, negotiations
and the fall Of Scutari 1t Is under
today was reached.
The British prime minister, Mr.
Asquith, addressing the representative
of the foreign newspapers at II dinner
last night, made a hopeful speech
which may be regarded as reflectinp
the view of the ambassadorial con-
ference which he attended earlier IN
the day.
Abiding to the Balkan situation ant
the fall of Scutari, the prime minister
said that points of difficulty Nigh
emerge, but he thought that withou
excess of optimism they might heliev,
that sooner, rather than later, th
goal so long and laboriously sough
would be achieved

Remarkable Accident.
The accident in many respects was
one of the most remarkable in the
history of the Butte camp. The first
cage, which fell 1900 feet, descended
so fast that it bulged the sides Of the
shaft outward, toward the other COM
partment, tending to choke that shaft
and retard the fail Of the second cage.
The immense wire cable, flapping like
a tail to a kite, flipped over into the
second compartment and tangling
with the falling cage in that compart-
ment also tended to check it's fall af-
fording the dogs a chance slightly
to retard the fall.
The first cage fell from the surface
and every man aboard was killed and
crushed to an unrecognizable mass.
The second cage started at the 1,400-
foot level an instant after the first
cage had flashed by, leaving a streak
of friction fire.
The accident occurred at the shaft

WAR SCARE REVIVED
BY J. HAM LEWIS
OF ILLINOIS

Springfield, H., April 23.-The
United States Is in prospect of war
with Japan" 1t has Il disturbances
with England over the Panama canal
treaty, Mexico and Central America
to the views Of the United States
Senator James Hamilton Lewis. as
expressed by him tonight in an ad-
dress before the Illinois Legislature on
the occasion of the Tooth anniversary
of the birth of stephen A. Douglas.
Senator Lewis declared that Mexico.
Central and South America were
making combinations and alliances
against the United States out of re-
venge." and he added:
'All of these are biding their time
to aid Japan or any oriental or Euro
pean enemy in an assault upon us and
in the destruction OF the Panama
canal"
He said it was the result of "our
late course of unnecessary meddling
at the direction of the stock specula- =
tors into the private and financial
affairs of foregn lands"
Referring to Senator Douglas Mr.
| Lewis said:
| Home Rule.
| Senator Douglas had as his po-
| litical theme the establishment oi
| home rule or self government of the
| United States.
| I'VE need more of home rule-statt
| regulation of state institutions and
| business organizations conducted
within the state which profit from the
citizens-and less of government al
a distance and by presidential discre.
| ton, congressional intrusion and fed
eral court invasion. This will dc
| much to bring democracy to republic.

Washington, April 23.-After' an
hours conference at the White House
tonight, President Wilson directed
Secretary of State Bryan to proceed
at once to Sacramento to cooperate
with Governor johnson and the mem
bers of the California legislature in
framing a law regarding the owner
ship of land by aliens that would not
conflict with the treaty obligations Of
the United States, particularly with
Japan. Mr.. Bryan will leave here
at 6:45 p. m tomorrow and arrive in
Sacramento at 4:35 p. m. next Mon
day.
Il am going in the hope that we
may be able to find the. best solution
of the difficulty said Secretary
Bryan, tonight. II feel sure that
they in California will enter upon the
work with the same spirit of coop
Grafton as the president and I do
Earlier in the day the president
had telegraphed Governor Johnson
and the presiding officers Of the two
branches of the California legislature
explaining that it was difficult to
handle the situation by telegraph, and
asked if it would be agreeable to have
the secretary of state confer in person
with the California authorities. Both
houses and the governor promptly re-
piled that the proposal was agreeable
to them. The resolutions adopted by
the senate and house were identical
and that of the latter as received at
the White House, read:
Perfectly Agreeable.
"While this assembly respectfully
maintains the right of the Legislature
of California to legislate on the sub
jects of land ownership, it will be en-
tirely agreeable to this assembly to
have the secretary of state of the
United States visit Sacramento for
the purpose INDICATED in the presl-
dents telegram"
Governor Johnson's message to the
president was as follows:
Il shall be pleased at all times to
consult with the secretary of state
and it will be entirely agreeable to me
to have the secretary visit Sacra-
mento as suggested in your telegram
Mr.. Bryan also received a personal
message inviting him to be the guest
of the Governor and Mrs. johnson,
which he accepted tonight He will

Mr. Moore who assumed his new
duties today, was present in a con-
ference between Mr.. Bryan and Vis-
count Chinda, the Japanese ambassa-
dor. The. latter learned officially of
the efforts of the president and the
national administration to prevent
any determinations against the Japa-
nese through the alien land 1egisla-
tion and expressed himself as pleased
with the attitude of the United States
government.

men are granted an increase in pay
estimated at from 10 to II IL per

This provision affects several rail-
roads. The firemen were also re-
lieved of the duty of cleaning en-
gincs.

ia amount of wages paid the fire
