CLAIMS THAT PET
BULLDOG KILLED WOMAN

San Diego, CAL, Nov. ia
death as mysterious, as horrible and
as brutal as THE Murders in the Rue
Morgue' occurred in a ramshackle
cottage here late last night or early
today.
Mrs. Sina Strong, aged 60, was the
victim. Thomas T. Creed, her broth
er, says that Mig" 14-months-old
bulldog, killed the woman. Creed
himself is in the city Jail The dog
is tied in the Jail yard Across his
nose is a tell-tale cut. 1t is the
only evidence-except Creed's story.
Mrs. Strong was killed by score
of knife wounds on the face, neck,
arms, and chest. Whether she was
hacked at with a small blunt pen
knife, or whether she was lacerated
by the fangs of her pet dog is un-
known. A small bloodstained knife
was found in the room where the
body lay. 1t was about five feet from
Mrs. Strongs body
In his cell at the city Jail, shaking
from the effects of the tragedy, Greed
declared his innocence, but said he
realized that all suspicion will fall
on him
THE dog did it; the dog did it,
he screamed several times in sheer
nervousness today when Captain of
Detectives Myers and two detectives
were examining him. Il know l am
up against it. You can do whatever
you want with me, but l did not kill
her"
1t was Greed himself who called
the police, He walked into the sta
tion at o'clock today and told Ser
geant Forbes that a dog had killed
Mrs Strong and that she was lying
in room at his house.
Forbes sent policemen to the house
with Creed They found the woman
lying face downward on the floor of
the room in which Greed slept. Her
face was in a pool of blood that was
unclotted. Her body was rigid. as if
she had been dead several hours.
The bulldog was locked in an adioin
ing room The police thought the
situation warranted the arrest of
Creed and brought him to the sta
tion.

APPLE WAS KING OF
FRUITS LAST TUESDAY

Portland, Nov 1S.-All over the
union, the apple today is exalted as
the king of fruits" For this is
Apple Day." proclaimed othclally by
Governor Oswald West, and boosted
by the Oregon Development League
and chambers of commerce and COM
mercial clubs throughout the land.
Almost every hotel in the state and
all the larger hostelries of Washing
ton and California have fallen in line
with the idea originating in Portland.
Besides, reports have been received
from hotels in far distant states that
they will serve apples In every form,
In frltters, as sauces for meats, as
jellles, in pies, dumplings, as cider in
soups, and even the homely apple
Jack, solace of many a weary farm
hand, is to be dignlfied into an ap-
petlzing cocktail
Portland's celebration took on a
quiet but general form. The North
ern Pacific sent forth a great motor
truck fitted up like a dining car
from which colored walters tossed
thousands of apples to the populace.
Several civic clubs held special apple
luncheons at which the apple was
served and lauded in song and story.
Every train that left Portland with
a dining car attached carried with
1t dozens of boxes of apples which
were served to diners in almost every
conceivable way.
The Apple Day" idea originated
with the idea of stimulating the pop
ularlty of the fruit all over the ma
tion incidentally widening the mark
ct of the Pacific Northwest.

EXPEDITION TO NORTH
Is THOUGHT LOST
(By Fred l.. Boalt.)

Seattle, Nov. 1S.--A dispatch from
the Canadian exploration expedition
at Collision Point, Alaska, expresses
the fear that the schooner Kartuk
has been lost on the northern coast
OF Alaska, and that all on board, in
cluding Vilhjalmar Stefansson the
head of the expedition, and Captain
Bartlett, who was Peary's skipper
when he reached the north pole, were
lost.
The members of the scientific party
at Collision Point have scant inform
alton | believe their fears are un-
founded. 1t is only known that the
Kartuk, sighted off Flaxman Island
August IA, has not been seen since
and that the whalers encountered
heavy weather in the Arctic ocean in
October.
Stefansson told me at Victoria the
day before the Kartuk sailed that he
would make straight for Herschel Is
land, where there is good anchorage.
He had time enough to get there. His
anxiety to reach Herschel Island was
due to a challenge hurled at him NY
Jason Allen, king of the Arctic Cir
cle,' who lives at Point Barrow, and
who had told me shortly before that
Stefansson lied If he said he had
found any blonde Eskimos in his
(Allens) country. This angered the
Norwegian explorer. He left the IA
scientists of his party at Collision
Point, and with Captain Bartlett,
Mate l.. A. Allen and the crew of
seven men, proceeded.
Stefansson claimed Jason Allen
had never explored the unpopulated
area 500 miles wide which lies east
of Point Barrow, and he said it was
still farther east that he had encoun-
tered the blonde Eslimos. He had
it figured out that there must be a
lost continent in the middle of the
Arctic ocean Curiously enough, he
was right, and the Russians found it
while he was on his way north. He
probably has not heard of this yet
why" he asked, do not the tides
flow in from the Atlantic straight
west across the Arctic? They do not.
They cling to the Siberian shore,
turn, meeting the North American
shore at a right angle, and flow back
east. What defects the tides? What
but continent could defect them ?"

ANOTHER MAIL CAR
ROBBERY ~ CALIFORNIA

San Francisco, Nov 1S.-Postof-
flee and railroad officials were nearly
frantic today at last nights robbery
OF the mail car ON the Shore Line
Limited the Southern Pacifics fast
train between San Jose and San
Francisco.
The robbery was along practically
the same lines as that of mail car
between Burlingame and San Francis
co less than a month ago and that
so bold crime should be committed
twice in so short a period, with prac-
tically no clew to the criminals iden-
tity was a subject of deep mortifica-
tion as we'll as anxiety to those re-
sponsible for the safety of the trains.
A posse under Postoffice Inspector
James O'Connell was securing the
southern section of the city, where
the robber dropped from last night
train. The railroad detectives were
also busy and the authorities all the
way to San Jose were on the look
out for CLOVIS, but none of them had
much definite information.
The man entered the mail car at
San Jose through a door which the
fireman of the engine had left ajar
on leaving it few minutes previous
ly He was masked and held pistol
in his hand:
Lie down" he commanded Clerks
Cotton, Busse and Gray Taken by
surprise and covered by the outlaws

to obey The robber compelled them
to tie their legs and then looted the
mail sacks. working for about an
hour He dropped off as the train
slowed down on entering San Fran
cisco's outskirts.

man who robbed the mail car at Bur-

A. F. L. DOES NOT
WANT INSTALLED LABOR

Seattle, Nov. 1S.-Efforts to or
ganize unskilled laborers under the
A. f. of L. will fail, according to the
insurgents, because the federation
put itself on record today as refusing
to give aid to unions until a year
after organization.
The action came up on a resolu-
ton by Delegate Bennett of Okla
homa to change the constitution of
the federation, allowing payment to
newly organized unions of benefits
In case they were locked out for or
ganizing. Bennett explained that he
was an organizer and that the form
ing of a new union in Oklahoma
meant the turning of the members
out of work by employers, hence or
ganization was at standstill.
The committee on law favors CIV
ing discretionary power to the exc
cutive council to pay benefits, but
was opposed by President Gompers
in person, who claimed that to pay
such benefits would bankrupt the
federation's defense fund.
Gompers, after entering into an
argument with Conan Kelly, while
in the chair, called James Duncan
to WELD the gavel while he attack
ed the measure.
Gompers said: "If we have to stop
in our work to meet the frivolous
charges of that sort, we will never
get anywhere. Every time the I.W.W.
has started something we have been
called upon to pay the fiddler"
Delegate Campbell of Texas called
attention to the fact that no effort
had been made to organize the work.
ers at Paterson or Lawrence until
the /. w. w. took hand.
On a vote the recommendation to
change the constitution was lost by
a vote of 67 to 113.
Immediately after the result was
announced, Delegate Emil Arnold
moved the original resolution to
change the constitution as worded
be adopted, and a hot debate fol-
lowed.
The resolution of George L. Berry,
now before the convention here Of
the American Federation of Labor,
to establish a labor party and seek
afiilation with the socialists, received
a setback today. The socialist dele
gates announced, after holding a
caucus, that they would fight It. They
are against beclouding their issues
by the establishment of another party
and say that their policy prevents
them from afTlliating with other or
ganizations.
