SERIES EFFORTS MADE TO
SAVE AND CLEAR OXMAN
i SAN FRANCISCO, May 20.—
After a series of efforts upon the
part of the prosecuting attorney
Fickert and associates, and the
Grand Jury which originally indict
ed Billingc, Mooney et al, to white
wash Oxman. the Court of Appeals
resolutely refused to release Oxman
upon a writ of Habeas Corpus and
he must stand trial.
In the meantime the execution ot
NOTICE OF FORFEITURE.
To O. C. Foster, E. J. Maynard, Chas
Clark and Chas R. Ewing, your
heirs, executors, assigns or person
al representatives.
You and each of you are hereby
notified that the undersigned has ex
pended in labor and improvements
the sum of one hundred dollars
for year 1916 on Washington claim,
a placer mining claim situated at the
head of Peluck and recorded and
more fully described in the records
of Cape Nome Mining and Record
ing District, in the Second Division
of the Territory of Alaska.
The above amount has been ex
pended under the provisions of the
law concerning Annual Labor upon
Mining Claims, being the amount
required to hold said claim.
And you and each of you are
further notified that if within ninety
days after the last publication of
this notice you fail to contribute
your proportion of said expenditure,
your interest in said claim will be
come the property of the under
signed your co-owner under section
2324 Revised Statutes of the United
States.

the Mooney sentence is automatical
ly postponed under the California
law, pending the hearing of an
appeal which was taken *6y the de
fense.
The trial of Mrs. Rena Mooaey
starts tomorrow (Monday, May 21)
and the man Oxman will be a wit
ness also against her.
The determined effort to rail
road these prisoners is disgusting
the entire city, and while at first
there was considerable indifference
upon the part of the laborites, but
now all organizations are coming
strongly forward.
The present status of the case
as far as Billings and Mooney are
concerned is that all are held up
pending the trial of Osman in the
Superior Court for perjury and sub
ornation of perjury.
It was confidently believed that
when the Grand Jury of which
John D. Spreckels is foreman, at
the instance of Fickert whitewashed
Oxman, the man would have been
absolved by the Court of Appeals,
but that body turned down the ap
plication quite abruptly and insisted
that Oiman stand trial. For that
reason the trial of Mrs. Mooney 1s
likely to be all the more sensational,
for the defense will have strong
testimony in rebuttal of the entire
Oxman story, and will put him
through his personal history leading
up to his presence in San Francisco.
In addition the defense will en
deavor to secure the testimony
which the prosecution has always
refused to call, to the effect that a
man has seen handling the suit case
long before the parade was ar
ranged.

WILL NOT PROSECUTE THE
RESPONSIBLE VIGILANTES
SEATTLE, May 20.—Following
the complete collapse of the Eve
rett conspiracy charges, the officials
refused to try the vigilantes upon
a like charge or prosecute them in
any way whatever.
They are apparently immune.
All that now remains of the fa
mous litigation is the civil suits
that are brought by workers for
damages against the Snohomish
county officials for injuries received
at their hands on November 5.
SANDPOINT, Idaho, May 20.—
All river drivers in Washington,
Idaho and Montana are now being
paid five dollars a day for eight
hours. Where the logging compa
nies pay less they can get no one,
and they have lost an enormous
lot of logs in the spring freshets.
The scabs whom they have employed
are doing more harm than good.
SEATTLE, May 20.—For the first
time in its history, the workers on
all street work in this city are lined
up industrially. The men after a
short strike won their demands
for three dollars for eight hours
work as a minimum wage, while
the most are paying three dollars
and a half and more. The contrac
tors hire men from the union hall
instead of from employment bur
reaus as heretofore.
The growth of the industrialist
movement here is quite remarkable.
Six months ago in Seattle they had
one secretary, now there are six sec
retaries and three assistants, five
speakers and organizers are in the
field. Ten new unions were orga
nized in Washington in the pas:
month, and yesterday they voted
to pay $250 a month rent for a new
and larger hall.

DIVINE SARAH WILL BE
SOONJOUT OF HOSPITAL
NEW YORK, May 20.—Only her
tremendous vitality and really re
markable operation enabled Sarah
Bernhardt, whose life doctors here
had despaired of. to pull through
her latest operation.
The operation was successful, but
on account of her frame being
sapped by suffering and the shock, |
the doctors saw without surprise '
that she appeared to be sinking. !
Heroic efforts were made regard
less of cost to save the life of Ma
dame Bernhardt, and it is now an
nounced that she will soon be able
to leave the hospital.
SENATOR LANE, OREGON,
DYING IN FRISCO HOSPITAL
SAN FRANCISCO, May 20.—It
is announced that Senator Lane ot
Oregon is now lying at the point
of death in a local hospital.
Senator Harry Lane's term of of
fice as United States senator ex
pires in 1919. He was one of the
twelve Senators who supported the
amendment to the bill authorizing
the President * to arm American
merchant ships going Into the war
zone. This amendment forbade any
arming of ships which carried mu
nitions or contraband or war into
the port of any belligerent nation.
Very severe criticism was directed
" at these twelve men, which was far
; more hot headed and artificial, than
» deserved, but Lane took it very
I
seriously and especially felt the cri
ticism in his home state
Asylum For Harry K Thaw
PHILADELPHIA, May 20.—
Harry K. Thaw saw the door of the
state asylum close upon him, having
been dispatched there upon court
order following his being declared
insane. Thaw’s insanity saves him
from extradition to New York state
where a far more serious charge
awaited him. It is doubtful if he
will find his present quarters much
more agreeable than were those
from which he escaped in Mateawan
New York. Thaw’s famrfy this time
endorses his being confined in the
asylum.
