Absence of Records HampersWork of Committee in the

Hanford Case

District Attorney Is QuestionedRegarding I. W. W. Feeling

on Coast

SEATTLE. Wash.. June 28.? Thehouse judiciary subcommittee investi-gating the impeachment charges against

Tnitrd States District Judge Cornelius11. Hanford spent the entire day seek-ing light on the proceedings beforeJudge Hanford at Taeoma last May,when Leonard Olsson waa deprived ofhis 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 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.

JEWEL THIEVESBELIEVED FOUND

Police Suspect Trio Under Ar-rest in South oi Taking

De Sabla Gems

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,

who have confessed to stealing $10,000worth of jewelry from hotel guests inSan Diego, and who are in jail in thatcity.

Detectives B. Riehl and' William Prollof the central station and DetectiveSwanson of the Pinkerton agency arein communication with Chief of PoliceWilson of .an Diego. The local officersexpect that a confession will be ob-tained.

The method of the Manners womanand her confederates in robbing hotelsleaves every reason to believe that they

were responsible for the loss of theDe Sabla jewels, from the Palace, ac-cording to the detectives. They learnedyesterday that Riese, Sobie and Mar-garet Manners were in this city at thetime the robbery took place.

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.
