Youth Loses in Game of Love
Seeks Revenge Through Occult
Last Chapter Ends in Tacoma

Herm Singh and BellO Kahn
played together as children i'm a
far-away village of Hindustan.
They attended school together,
grew to young manhood as firm
chums, and finally fell in love
with the same girl.
Both youths pursued the
quest of love with vigor, and both
were met with a warm friendship
that tended to develop into a
ripper acquaintance.
One night, less than a year ago,
Herm Singh and the maiden dis
appeared from the Hindu village.
All search by the townspeople
failed to reveal their hiding place.
Like so many of his country
men, BellO Kahn, maddened with
jealousy and vowing revenge,
turned to the occult as last
means of finding his false friend
and the girl who had betrayed
him. He gazed into the depths
of a crystal ball, and there, re-
vealed with startling vividness, he
saw Singh and the girl, i'm the
midst of bitter quarrel. Singh
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1913-05-20

struck the girl while Kahn gazed
into the shining globe.
The desperate youth packed up
his belongings and began his
quest. Three months ago he ar
rived in Tacoma and found Singh
and the girl happily esconsed in a
little shanty on the tideflats.
Kahn's every attempt to renew his
attentions to the girl proved
futile.
Maddened with jealousy, Kahn
tried every ruSe. He took into
his confidence another Hindu,
who had named himself George
Andrews. And George, with the
craftiness of his country, set
about to make use of his newly
gained knowledge.
George visited Singh and ar
ranged that the victorious lover
leave Tacoma for few days.
Then he went to Kahn and said
that for $3.50 he would put Singh
out of the way.
But the story leaked out, and
now Kahn wants redress. George
has told his story, and Kahn de-
mands that Singh must go to Jail

BOSTON CITY, May 20. - A
staggering blow was dealt to the
defense of Wood when Dennis
Collins, co-defendant with Wood
and Attreaux, testified for the
prosecution. District Attorney
Pelletier. opened the court session
with a declaration that he stood
ready to prove that Wood paid
John Breen to plant dynamite In
Lawrence Judge Crosby ruled
that the testimony Collins might
offer must be Independently cor
roborated. Collins described the
meeting he and Breen had with
two men in a Boston saloon dur
ing which one man gave Breen a
bundle.
Collins said that Breen had in
structed him to divide the dyna-
mite sticks into six bundles, COW
ering them with newspaper.
"Breen asked me-" said Collins.
eff | knew Wood. i told him
didn't. He answered, Well, never
mind, it's a good Joke anyhow"
Attorney Hurlburt, represent
ing Wood, refused to cross-exam-
Inc Collins, declaring there to be
nothing in his testimony connect
ing Wood with the affair.
Attorney Coakley, representing
Atteaux- severely crnss-examined
Collins, but the latter stuck to his
story.
Collins denied he was promised
immunity, but admitted that his
attorney advised him to tell the
truth, and that the district attor-
ney probably would help him.
Police Inspector Rooney testi-
fled that he had been clipped"
by Breen in January, 1912, that
dynamite was planted. Rooney
said he located 1t and arrested
several persons.
Collins described in detail the
movement at Lawrence, how he
planted dynamite in places indi-
Gated by Breen, adding '.Breen In
quired where Joseph Ettor was
speaking and endeavored to plant
dynamite there but found the
hall closed. The first ] knew
what Breen had done was when
saw in the papers that dynamite
had been found in Lawrence"

Collins, that Wood and his mil
lions were back of him.

So 1t is all off.
The ministers, Reverends MUIR
doch Mcleod, T. w. Lane, w. A..
Moore and II. c. Wheeler, recom-
mended that Chief Loomis be suS-
pended go days, that secret
committee of five capable business
men he named to conduct secret
hearing and that their report be
accepted as basis for action before
the grand jury If the evidence
they gather warrants.
Mills refused point blank. He
wanted an open hearing, he said.
Or he was willing to have a grand
jury called direct, but as for sus-
pending Chief Loomis, there was
nothing doing.
The "open" investigation want
ed by Mills, 1t was pointed out by
the ministers, could get nowhere
1t would have no power to call
witnesses. The witnesses who
claim to have some evidence to
the point refused to go before
such a committee in the open and
subject themselves to the ham
mering of the Mills-Loomis re-
gime. They did agree to give
what facts they had to a secret
committee.
There would be no chance for
grandstand play in this commit
tee. Not even Commissioner
Mills would know who were on
the committee. The department
would not even know who the
witnesses were. And in the end
il there was no damaging evi-
dence the whole thing would be
quietly dropped.
Mills turned down the propo-
sition cold. He discharged his
committee of ministers and the
deal is all off.
I'VE made what we thought
was a fair and honorable propo-
sition," said Rev. 7. w. Lane. at
is closed incident"
Mills said it was a proposition
inspired by his political enemies
That the committee had con-
ferred with II, G.. Rowland and
Others and the proposition framed
up against him.

PREDICT DEATH
OF ALIEN BILL

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 20.
1t was predicted by administra-
ton leaders today that the Jap
anese bill would be settled or
taken to the courts before it be-
comes effective in California in
August. The cabinet discussed
the question that brought the
crisis by Gov. Johnson signing the
bill.
Wilson and his advisers are
confident that the dispute will
never go to arbitration. Advisers
say that the arbitration commit
tee could only decide whether
the California bill violates the
treaty with Japan and could die
tate no settlement.

as a blackmailer.
Such is the unusual story pour
ed into the ears of Deputy Prose-
cutor William d. Askren today
through an Interpreter. At least
that is as much of the fantastic
tale as the deputy could under
stand.
Kahn and Andrews, with many
gestures, repeated the occult de-
tails.
Singh had been arrested . short
time ago, following an alleged
battle between him and Kahn, in
which the latter was cut upon the
finger. At that time, because of
the lack of an interpreter, the
prosecutor could do nothing, and
Singh was released after an incar-
ceration Of two weeks.
Prosecutor Askren says that he
can do nothing with the present
case, because of lack of witnesses
and the utter improbability of the
entire tale. The two Hindus re-
mained at the courthouse all
morning, begging for prosecution
of Singh.
