PROCEEDINGS AT TACOMA SIFTED Absence of Records Hampers Work of Committee in the Hanford Case District Attorney Is Questioned Regarding I. W. W. Feeling on Coast SEATTLE. Wash.. June 28.? The house judiciary subcommittee investi- gating the impeachment charges against Tnitrd States District Judge Cornelius 11. Hanford spent the entire day seek- ing light on the proceedings before Judge Hanford at Taeoma last May, when Leonard Olsson waa deprived of his citizenship because he was not at- tached to the principles of the constitu- tion. Absence of a record of the testi- mony in the Olsson trial hampered tha work of the committee and much time "was consumed examining witneases re- garding the testimony upon which Judge Hanford based his decree dis- franchising Olsson. It was brought out that to enable Olsson's attorney to prepare a record upon which to base an apeal to the cir- cuit court of appeals. Judge Hanford had offered to prepare a digest of the proceedings- before him. L'nited States District Attorney McLaren, who waa on the stand before the committee, said that Judge Hanford had asked the at- I torneys for the government and the de- j fendant to assist him in preparing a record. This caused McCoy to remark that he had never heard of records for appeal being prepared in such a manner, PROCEEDINGS RECOfJXTED McLaren gave the committee his ac- count of the proceedings in Taeoma, asserting- positively that Olsson had testified that he was not attached to the constitution. He said the qualify- ing word "devotedly" was not used in asking the question of Olsson, but that Olsson testified that it had been used when he was admitted to citizen- ship. The committee and McLaren agreed that upon the insertion or omission of the word 'devotedly" depended the question of the justice of the court's action in revoking Olsson's citizenship, although McLaren added that Olsson's evasive answers to questions put by the 4u>urt indicated that he was not sincere in his attachment to the prin- ciples (if American government. Mel>aren said that, the points of law involved in the Olssen case were ar- gued on a demurrer before Judge Geor.ee 11. Donworth a year before the final hearing, and that Judge Donworth overruled the demurrer and said the >-as<*> depended upon the finding of facts SS to whether 43'sson was qualified for citizenship. Judge Donworth retired from the federal bench before the Ols- son case -was decided by Judge Han- ford. No record of Judge Donworths ruling was made. McLaren said. 1. AY. AY. FEELING KELT OCT McCoy was greatly interested in tbe socialist and Industrial Workers of the World agitation on the Pacific coast, and questioned at some length concerning the feeling here. McLaren said that he knew of no bitter feeling aeainat the socialists but said there was against tlie Industrial Workers of the World. PERJURER IS ADMITTED TO PROBATION PERIOD Was Member of Gang Who!

STARS AGAIN IN ROLE OF PEACE MAKER Couple Swayed b}' Eloquence Decide to Forgive Heeding tlie. advice of Judfre Thomas F. Graham. Lena and Michael Sabella yesterday decided to forget their past domestic differences and thereby added another notch to Judge Graham's rec- ord as tlie great reconciler. The Sabel- las ordered their attorneys to dismiss the suits for divorce pending against each other, to abandon the quarrel over community property and left the court- room to repair the ravages the divorce courts have made on their home at 1945 Mason street. Mrs. Sabella was persuaded by the court to give her barber husband an- other marital lease of life. She had charged him with many heinous con- jugal" breaches, ranging from cuss- words to kicks and blows. He had threatened to kill her at one time, ac- cording to her complaint, yet so elo- quent was the peace making oratory of the court that she agreed to forget Pr:st rn'ishaps. The couple married in Oakland January 14, 1906. They have one child. The of Emma by John 4'haberiack. a cabinet maker, prevented Judge Graham front* reconcilrhg the couple. The husband could not be found, po the court gave Mrs. Chaberl- .? _ the decree on the ground of de- sertion. JEWEL THIEVES BELIEVED FOUND Police Suspect Trio Under Ar- rest in South oi Taking De Sabla Gems The local police department and a Pinkerton detective hope to connect, the theft of the Eugene de Sabla jewels, w-ilued at $50,000. stolen from the Pal- ;.<o hotel during the mardi gras ball l_st February, with (Charles _Uese, Paul Sobie and Margaret Ward Manners, who have confessed to stealing $10,000 worth of jewelry from hotel guests in San Diego, and who are in jail in that city. Detectives B. Riehl and' William Proll of the central station and Detective Swanson of the Pinkerton agency are in communication with Chief of Police Wilson of .an Diego. The local officers expect that a confession will be ob- tained. The method of the Manners woman and her confederates in robbing hotels leaves every reason to believe that they were responsible for the loss of the De Sabla jewels, from the Palace, ac- cording to the detectives. They learned yesterday that Riese, Sobie and Mar- garet Manners were in this city at the time the robbery took place. This trio of thieves, after cleaning up thousands of dollars in San Diego, were captured, and confessed. Riese and the woman were arrested in this city by Policeman D. H. Brashfield. Sobie was taken in custody at San Die^o. It was the custom In their operations to have Sobie get a position in a fash- ionable hotel as bellboy. Riese and his companion would register at the hotel as man and wife. They would learn who had jewels, get tlie number of the rooms and tip Sobie off. He would make the steal generally, but occasion- ally his two associates would commit the burglary. The detectives are endeavoring to find out if the trio registered at the Palace during the mardi gras celebration. They were unable to determine this yester- day. They did. however, discover that the trio registered at two other hotels during that week in this city.

Wara, a plumbing con- tractor, permission to finish the ".rough- ing in" job on the Caligari building on the ground that the job was unfair at the time he took the contract, but a similar request from ("lalre Lieb, an electrical contractor, to finish work on the same building was refused on the ground that a,t the time he took the contract he was fully aware that the job was on the unfair list. On recommendation of Business Agent Nelson the council removed the name of W. Miller from the unfair list, as he has agrfeed to walk along the straight path of unionism. * * * Charles Hughes has been elected a delegate from the Plumbers' union, lo- cal No. 422, vice Joseph McAuliffe, to represent that organization in the -Building Trades council.

Clarke. The rate is favored by the wholesale and mail or- ; der houses of Chicago and St. Louis, 1 and is being opposed by the retail merchants of the west. I'or some time past the Chicago and tSL Louis Merchants' associations have been trying to incoi-porate the western class into the rule. If the rule is applied to western shippers the Chicago and St. Douis jobbers, manu- facturing and mail order houses will be unrestrained in the matter of mix- ing their carload shipments. It Is as- sorted that this would work a great injustice against the retailers and other business houses on the Pacific coast. The fight on rule 10 first came up in IS9T. Although it has changed some in that time it is really a phase of the same controversy that was then raised between Chicago and St. Louis, hut is not extended to the western states. Attorney Seth Mann, representing the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce. introduced a resolution opposing/the adoption of rule 10. The proposition is not being advocated by the railroads, but by the business interests of the middle west. \ An adjournment was taken yester- day at noon until July 6, when the commissioner will open court in Port- land, Ore.

work of the committee and much time"was consumed examining witneases re-garding the testimony upon whichJudge Hanford based his decree dis-franchising Olsson.

It was brought out that to enableOlsson's attorney to prepare a recordupon which to base an apeal to the cir-cuit court of appeals. Judge Hanfordhad offered to prepare a digest of theproceedings- before him. L'nited StatesDistrict Attorney McLaren, who waa onthe stand before the committee, saidthat Judge Hanford had asked the at- Itorneys for the government and the de- jfendant to assist him in preparing arecord.

This caused McCoy to remark that hehad never heard of records for appealbeing prepared in such a manner,

PROCEEDINGS RECOfJXTEDMcLaren gave the committee his ac-

count of the proceedings in Taeoma,asserting- positively that Olsson hadtestified that he was not attached tothe constitution. He said the qualify-ing word "devotedly" was not usedin asking the question of Olsson, butthat Olsson testified that it had beenused when he was admitted to citizen-ship.

The committee and McLaren agreed

that upon the insertion or omission ofthe word 'devotedly" depended thequestion of the justice of the court'saction in revoking Olsson's citizenship,although McLaren added that Olsson'sevasive answers to questions put bythe 4u>urt indicated that he was notsincere in his attachment to the prin-ciples (if American government.

Mel>aren said that, the points of lawinvolved in the Olssen case were ar-gued on a demurrer before Judge

Geor.ee 11. Donworth a year before thefinal hearing, and that Judge Donworthoverruled the demurrer and said the>-as<*> depended upon the finding of factsSS to whether 43'sson was qualified forcitizenship. Judge Donworth retiredfrom the federal bench before the Ols-son case -was decided by Judge Han-ford. No record of Judge Donworthsruling was made. McLaren said.

1. AY. AY. FEELING KELT OCT

McCoy was greatly interested in tbesocialist and Industrial Workers of theWorld agitation on the Pacific coast,

and questioned at some lengthconcerning the feeling here. McLarensaid that he knew of no bitter feelingaeainat the socialists but said therewas against tlie Industrial Workers ofthe World.

The local police department and aPinkerton detective hope to connect, thetheft of the Eugene de Sabla jewels,

w-ilued at $50,000. stolen from the Pal-;.<o hotel during the mardi gras balll_st February, with (Charles _Uese, PaulSobie and Margaret Ward Manners,

This trio of thieves, after cleaningup thousands of dollars in San Diego,were captured, and confessed. Rieseand the woman were arrested in thiscity by Policeman D. H. Brashfield.Sobie was taken in custody at SanDie^o.

It was the custom In their operationsto have Sobie get a position in a fash-ionable hotel as bellboy. Riese and hiscompanion would register at the hotelas man and wife. They would learnwho had jewels, get tlie number of therooms and tip Sobie off. He wouldmake the steal generally, but occasion-ally his two associates would committhe burglary.

The detectives are endeavoring to findout if the trio registered at the Palaceduring the mardi gras celebration. They

were unable to determine this yester-day. They did. however, discover thatthe trio registered at two other hotelsduring that week in this city.

MERCHANTS OPPOSERATE EXTENSIONS

Retail Merchants lake StancAgainst Rule "Ten" at Com-

mission Hearing

Whether or not rule 10 in interstatecommerce shipments, which allows themixing in one car goods of afl kindsand provides that the carload rateshall be the rate applying to the com-modity in the mixture carrying thehighest rate, shall be extended to Cali-fornia and Pacific coast statea"~t*'asheard yesterday before Interstate Com-missioner EL E. Clarke. The rate is

favored by the wholesale and mail or-; der houses of Chicago and St. Louis,1and is being opposed by the retailmerchants of the west.

I'or some time past the Chicago andtSL Louis Merchants' associationshave been trying to incoi-porate thewestern class into the rule. If therule is applied to western shippers theChicago and St. Douis jobbers, manu-facturing and mail order houses willbe unrestrained in the matter of mix-ing their carload shipments. It Is as-sorted that this would work a greatinjustice against the retailers and otherbusiness houses on the Pacific coast.

The fight on rule 10 first came up inIS9T. Although it has changed somein that time it is really a phase ofthe same controversy that was thenraised between Chicago and St. Louis,hut is not extended to the westernstates.

Attorney Seth Mann, representing theSan Francisco Chamber of Commerce.introduced a resolution opposing/theadoption of rule 10. The propositionis not being advocated by the railroads,but by the business interests of themiddle west. \

An adjournment was taken yester-day at noon until July 6, when thecommissioner will open court in Port-land, Ore.

State Railroad (Commissioner HarryS. Loveland stated, to Commissioner<"larke that the adoption of the rulewould result in great injury to the Pa-cific coast. He said that it would makeSan Francisco a suburb of Chicago.
