BECLOUDS
HISTORY OF WARD
Secret Code Found Indicates
He Belonged to Several
Coast Bandit Gangs

San Francisco, May 29.-While fu-
neral services were conducted today for
Police Sergeant Moriarty, killed by
Phillip Ward, Russian anarchist, fresh
mystery beelouded the case of the lat
ter, who was slain battling police. His
body still lies in the police morgue,
despite the fact that mysterious man,
claiming to act for an equally mystic
Miss Fitzgerald" =" has called up a
private undertaking establishment sew
eral times directing that the corpse be
transferred there.
The police for a time believed that
this "Miss Fitzgerald" might be the
same woman as Mrs. Anna Stone, who
came from Los Angeles with her little
girl to join Ward here shortly before
his death. Investigation convinced them
however, that this elew was false, and
that Mrs. Stone returned secretly to
Los Angeles after Ward was killed.
Detectives have found a number of
letters in Russian, Hebrew and other
languages which contain code words
convincing them that Ward was impli-
Gated in the operations of bandit gangs
in many Pacific coast cities, that he
was member Of the Nelson-Juber bank
robbing organization, and connected
with eounterfeiting ring in Los An
geles.
Local Russian anarchists are strong
in their denunciations OF the police for
killing Ward, and a collection has been
taken up to pay his funeral expenses.

BOatmen on Sacramento
May Go on Strike Soon

San Francisco, May 29.-Six hundred
river boatmen win strike June 1, de-
manding $5 a month increase, according
to every Indication today The Bay and
River Boatmen's union met with 325
members present and amid cheers voted
with single yoeiferous shout Of
"aye" to ask more wages. A commit
tee was named to treat with the en-
ployers, with power to act if the re-
quest is refused.
Captain A. E, Anderson of the Steam
boat Owners association, said that it
would be impossible to meet the de-
mand, as the state railroad commission
recently regulated the river traffic
boats and established maximum rates
for them to charge. Asked if he would
employ strikebreakers, he said that was
not decided yet.
A strike of the dimensions of the one
threatened will seriously hinder traffic
on the Sacramento river.

STATE FAIR. TICKET
CASES NOW CLOSED
Indictments Against Rex
turner and CleVe Sinlpkins
Are Dismissed

The indictments against beth Rex A.
Turner and Cleve Simpkins. CHARGED
with apprOpriating state funds to their
own use, were dismissed by Judge
Percy R, Kelly in Department number
l Of the circuit court today upon mo.
tion Of District Attorney +. R. Ringo.
The district attorney stated in his mo.
tion that one of the witnesses for the
state had removed from Oregon and
that most of the others were helpers at
the state fair last year and had re-
turned to their homes in other counties
and that it would cost large sum to
get them here for another trial. In
consideration of the fact that it would
cost less to dismiss the case than TO
try it again motion for dismissal on
the grounds of insufficient evidence
was made.
The motion also stated that when it
was decided to try Turner first, the
move was made because the evidence
against him was stronger than against
Simpkins. When the jury failed to con-
Wet Turner the chances of convicting
Simpkins became even less and for this
reason the state concluded that no new
evidence could be introduced at this
time.
The indictments against both of the
defendants were dismissed and their
sureties exOnorated. Simpkins, who is
senior at the University of Oregon,
will now be enabled to graduate which
he could not have done with an indiet-
ment hanging over him.
After the case was dismissed Attor-
ney Jas. G. Heltzel, who was employed
as special counsel in the case, said:
"Owing to the interest the public has
taken in this case we were reluctant to
move for a dismissal, but since the last
trial the district attorney and l have
given the matter very careful thought
and have Ganvassed the situation fully
and finally concluded after talking
with all the jurors who were on the
other case, and other people who heard
the evidence at the other trial, that the
possibility Of conviction was out Of
the question. The last trial cost the
county several hundred dollars and we
did not feel Justified in incurring a
similar expense again without at least
an equal show for q conviction"

TO HAVE FULL REPORT
OF BOTH CONVENTIONS
Capital Journal VIII Receive
Full Special Service Of
United Press During Both

New York, Nlqly 29.-In covering
the national conventions next month
at Chicago and st. Louis, the United
Press will pursue the same course it
has followed throughout the great war
in Europe and in covering other extra
ordinary news events. The United
Press theory is that its own staff cor
respondents are best equipped to meet
the demands of convention reporting.
At both the Chicago and st. Louis
conventions, the United Press will dc
pend largely upon specially chosen
staff of its best men for convention
service. These will be under the gen
eral charge of Roy W. Howard, pres
ident of the United Press, assisted by
Fred s. Ferguson, acting news manager
They will include Perry Arnold, Lowell
Mellett, George Martin, Karl A. Bickel,
Carl d. GrOat, j. P. Yoder, N. c. Parse,
A. j. Eldred, Robert j. Bender and II.
L. Renniek.
Special wires will be run direct to
the United Press reservation next to
the speakers platform in The Chicago
and st. LOUIS convention halls. In
both cities special work room will
be fitted up under the speakers ros.
trum.
William F. Lynch, superintendent of
telegraph of the United Press, will he
in general charge of the wire arrange
ments. 1t is probable that the actual
sending from the convention hall will
be done by Roscoe johnson, chief OPP
orator Of the Chicago division, rated
as one Of the star key men of the eoun.

The United Press headquarters at

PetrOgrad, May 29-Russia win fight
20 years if necessary until Germany is
forced to accept allied terms of peace,
Michael Rodzianko, president of the
duma, told the United Press in an ex-
elusive interview today. He seoffed at
the danger of revolution in tho ezaE's
empire.
''There is no peace party in Russia," "
said ROdzianko. "That is a German lie.
The duma is solid in its demand that
Russia continue to fight until Germany
puts her cannon in pile and accepts
the allies conditions,
''The emperor, the duma and the
peasants are united in this. Tell this
to the people Of America as emphatieal-
ly as you can. I"
Rodzianko has Just arrived from his
home in the provinces for the purpose
Of reopening the duma today.
"YOu need not accept my word ex-
clusively," he said. ''You are vel
come to the floor of the duma whore
you can talk to anyone. All viii tell
what l have told you. Russian peas
ants know the meaning Of German
hegmOny. They are for war. We will
fight 20 years if necessary to abolish
this menace. We will force the kaiser
to accept our terms. Peace on any
other basis would be unthinkable.
Russia would refuse to accept even
if the allies woodland the allies
would not. Peace propagandas now in
circulation are unfriendly to tho al
lies. "
Rodzianko was asked if the duma
would attempt reforms.
"Ths is no time for such legisha-
tion, " he replied. owe will devote the
session first to war measures-reviGt-
ualing the army, etc; second to econ
omie problems growing out Of the war
and third to the Strengthening of local
governing bodies.
FI cannot say how long it win re-
main in session, but we are not afraid
of its dissolution. The duma is working
pretty well with the government. 1t
will finish its program early, however,
as the duma is composed of agrarians
who must adjourn before harvest,
which comes shortly"
Asked the reason for the duma 3 re-
cess, Rodzianko replied;
"Its members are mostly farmers.
They can do more good raising crops
for the army and the nation than by
simply meeting"
He declared Russia was not only will
ing but prepared to carry the war 90 a.
end.
"Russia is ready to support her share
of the burden much better than at the
start" he said. "The army has almost
doubled the spirit it possessed early in
the war. It is better equipped and bet
ter supplied with munitions. 1t is bet
ter fed than a year ago. The fortunes
Of war vary, but whatever happens,
Russia will fight until Germany is beat
en-. There is no daunger of internal
revolution. You can tell the Americans
that"
