DILLARD, the former negro clerk of the United States Internal Reve- nue office, who is accused of having forged Chinese cer- tificates, has been captured at Van- couver, B. C. The dispatch announcing his arrest was received late last Thurs- day right by United States Marshal Shine and was not made public until yesterday morning. The dispatch was dated at Seattle and signed by Deputy United Stat. Marshal Stringer. It announced Dillard’s arrest at Vancouver and the fact that he had waived extradition. The war- rant and copy of the indictment were mailed yesterday morning to Deputy Stringer ‘and it is expected that Diilard will be here in a few days. > MAINTAINS INNOCENCE. Dillard, when interviewed in Vancou- ver's prison, said that if any forgeries were committed they were done outside his office and thaj he is blameless in the matter. He declares that he left this city because of cccurrences which had nothing to do with his official position, that he has never tried to avoid arrest and that he is perfectly willing to come back and face anyth there is against him. Dillard will leave Vancouver this morning for this city in charge of a Deputy Marshal of King County, Wash- ington, who authorized his arrest. This was Dillard’s third trip to Van- couver. He says that from this city he went to St. Louis and Chicago and from there soon fournd his way to Montreal, traveling under the name of Dillard ali the time. Under that name he obtained employment as porter on Canadian Pacific Railroad tra ard made three western One time he went to Seattle and information given by sSan Francisco ople he met there Dillard attributes his st. Dillard says he knows nothing f any fraudulent practices in his office and maintains he is absoiutely innocent harge. s his theory is that exact copies d forms re made outside the e, as was done on some previous oc- nd that the entire certificates filled in by outside parties and the forgery of the name of the Collector was appended to complete the work. Dil- lard declares that no certificates exist in ndwriting which are not over the gnature of the Collector and to believe that the Collector of those in his (Dil- are forgeries. no recoilection of hav- y to send the book of duplicates to Paso and is at a loss to explain the hiding of the Book in the storeroom.

Owing to the mass of red tape that en- velops the United States detective ser- vice, it is a wonder that Dillard was cap- tured at all. The United States Marshal = no fund upon which to draw for ex- in pursuing and detecting offenders against the Government and his function in criminal proceedings to serve war- rants and take prisone: in charge after they have been arrested by some one else. Special Internal Revenue Agent Burt Thomas is similarly handicapped and the secret service department is not allowed unless by s 1 orders to do any crimi- nal r de of preventing counter- feiting and apprehending counterfeiters. The eredit of Dillard’s arrest is due to George W. Hazen, special agent in charge of the United States Secret Service Burzau at this port. On August 7, the day on swvhich The Call published the 'fact that Dillard had been indicted by the Federal Grand Jury, Mr. RUNAWAY WirE PO3ES A WIDOW After Disappearing She Goes to Oregon and Again Marries, The spectacle of one man testifying against Ris wife to enable another to get a divorce from her was presented yester- day in Judge Hunt's court. The woman in the case is Annie F. King. sued for divorce for desertion by August F. King, to whom she was married at Stockton in September, 1899, and the prin- cipal witness was Austin A. Pratt, who King at Pcrtland a few months after Mrs. King ran away from her first husband. King, in testifying as to how such a state of affairs came to exist, said that ife left him less than a year after were married and went to San Jose and refused to return to him. After a few months’ time spent in the Garden City she disappeared and he heard no more of her until he brought his suit for divorce, appeared the King at Portland, she having represented herself to him as being a sin- gle woman. He volunteered to appear as a witness. He did so and tgld Judge Hunt that he met Mrs. King 3t San Jose, where she was posing as a widow. They kept com- puny there for a few months, he said, and then he went to Portland, to which place he was followed by the woman. He believed her tale that King had been dead for several years and a few days after her arrival made her his wife. They lived together as such for several months, when Pratt learned that King was alive. Pratt left her, coming to_this city to tell King of his adventures. Mutual congrat- ulations followed the signing of the de- cree of divorce by Judge Hunt and the two husbands of Mrs. King left the courtroom togethe | YOUNG GIEL DISAPPEARS FROM HER PARENTS’ HOME Bertha Kleine Writes Strange Note to Her Mother to Account for Her Absence. Mrs. L. Kleine of 22 Lapidge street called- at police headquarters yesterday efternoon and reported the disappearance of her daughter Bertha, 16 years of age. She said the girl had left home last Mon- day and since then all trace of her had been lost. “My daughter,” said Mrs. Kleine, “had been in the habit of calling upon friends and stopping with them overnight oeca- sionally, but I have visited every one of them and they have not seen her. I re- ved a letter from her yesterday in rhich she wrote that she had been be- yed by a prominent lawyer in this ; that she had made him marry her and that they were living together. She not give me her address and I am picious that all is not right. I have mined the register at the marriage icense office and find no trace of any such license having been issued. I am afraid something has to her and she may be dead.” The missing girl is a tall brunette ana well developed. Her mother admits that she is very handsome and was fond of admiration. In a photograph which Mrs. Kleine gave the police the girl is attired in the costume of the Mystic Shriners.

A ‘short time | after this alleged cruel, treatment, al- leges Mrs. and roughly rubbed soap all over her face and neck, telling her, she alleges, when she remonstrated, to “go back from where she came from.” Mrs. Fry asks for a decree of divorce and permission to resume her name, Martha Lee. Alice M. Carmichael filed a suit for di- vorce against Duncan Carmichael, United States quarantine officer of this yort, yesterday. She charges him with deserting her. This is the second action Mrs. Carmichael has brought against her husband, the first being a suit for main- tenance, in which‘she alleged ‘that Car- michael beat her cruelly on-several oc- casions. She asked for an allowance of | $175 a month, claiming that amount was necessary to enable her to live in a man- ner befitting her station in life. The suit is still pending. The Carmichaels were married at Honolulu in July, 1898. Suits for divorce were filed by Rosia Dalton against Morris Dalton for deser- tion, Helen Torres against Theodore Tor- res for failure to provide and Jerome L. Dolan against Olympia C. Dolan for cruelty. Divorces were granted yesterday to Ger- trude E. Garlick from Mark J. Garlick for desertion, David J. Stott from Edna Stott for desertion, Luz G.

He immediately informed United States shal Shine, who wired to the States Marshal at Seattle to catch Dil- lard when he appeared at the express of- fice to get the pin. Agent Hazen also notified Secret Service Agent B. W. Bell at Seattle to be on the lookout for the fugitive. HOW HE WAS TREED. No details of the capture had been re- ceived by either Marshal Shine nor Agent Hazen yesterday beyond the fact that Dil- lard did not call at the express office for the pin, but sent another person with his written order for it. This messenger was followed to Vancouver, B. ( the presence of Dillard. was learned that the fugitive left Seattle on the day that the pin was redeemed in San Francisco and that he had been *‘tipped”’ by wire from this city of his danger. cculiar circumstance in relation to the aiamond pin is that it is in the shape of a horseshoe for luck with thirteen dia- monds in it for bad luck. However, there is no doubt that the combination would have proved a mascot had it not been pawned. It is valued at $100. The indictment was taken off the secret file vesterday. It charges Dillard with forging the name of John C. Lynch, In- ternal Revenue Collector, fourteen times and with forging fourteen duplicate Chi- nese registration certificates, making twenty-eight counts in all. The officials here believe that Dillard will plead guilty, as two of the Chinese Witnesses against him are in custody at El Paso, but there is another opinion that he may force the Government to prove that it was he who committed the for- gerles. TRIES T0 DRAW LOADED PIaTOL Eugene N. Deuprey At- tempts to Assault Ri- val Attorney. Lively Scene at Trial of Inspector River by Commission ‘While the trial of Market Inspector Jo- seph River on charges preferred by S. Aftergut was in progress before the Civil Service Commission yesterday Eugene N. Deuprey, attorney for Aftergut, attempt- ed to draw a loaded pistol on George A. Connolly, attorney for River. Before Deu- prey could carry out his intention he was restrained by Aftergut, who took the pistol away and turned it over to Policeman Conlan, who was in attendance at the trial. The trouble commenced while Peter Hammond was on the stand for the de- fense and had testified that he had driven three cows condemned by River from Mu- setti’s ranch to Solomon’s ranch. the prosecution to the effect that there were four cows, two belonging to Mu- setti and two to Solomon; but that those belonging to the last named had not been destroyed by River. River claimed that he had made a mistake on condemning Solomon’s cow, as it afterward proved to be in good condition. When Hammond had completed his evidence Deuprey de- sired to know how much he had been paid for it. Connolly took exception to the remark, saying that he had simply told Hammond to tell the truth. Deuprey had been bribed to give evidence favora- ble to River, when Connolly again took exception to Deuprey’s remarks. “T consider Mr. Deuprey’s remarks en- | tirely_uncalled for and ungentlemanly,” said Connolly. “I'll show you,” said Deuprey, jumping excitedly from his chair. He made a movement to his left inside coat pocket, but before he could pull the pistol his client, Aftergut, who sat next to him, threw his arms around Deuprey and se- cured the weapon. Deuprey continued his threats to harm Connolly and then with- drew from the case as Aftergut's attor- ney ard left the room. Just before the trial began Aftergut informed Commis- sioners Ohnimus and Murdock that Deu- prey had informed him that he would hurt Connolly and had shown him the pistol concealed in his pocket.

OIL MEN MAKE READY T FIGHT Meeting Called to Take Measures to Defeat Scrippers. Millions of dollars in land values in the oil fields of California are involved in a fight between the petroleum miners of the State and the scrippers, which bids fair tu be formally opened in this city next Monday afternoon. A meeting of the Cal- ifornia Petroleum Miners’ Assoclation, which includes in its directory prominent California oil operators, has been called and resolutions will be submitted for con- sideration in opposition to a bill which of Representatives. This bill is pending before the Judiciary Committee of the Senate. It provides for Secretary of the Interior and the Com- missioner of the General Land Office. The scrippers are formidable and there is danger to the oil petroleum miners, so say competent observers. The fact that @ bill has passed the House that, if en- acted into law, can tie up titles to ofl | lands indefinitely, is sufficient to show | that the scrippers have a chance to win their battle unless the petroleum miners make the best showing possible. Just be- fore Congress took its recess the Califor- nia Petroleum Miners’ Association, the California Miners’ Association and sev- | tral commercial bodies in this State taok | united action to have the bill held over. ; In this they were successful. | But the bill is just as live an issue now as it was then and the danger to the in- terests of the petroleum miners is no less troleum Miners’ Association is preparing for a long pull and a strong pull to have the matter presented in its true light. Resolutions may be adopted next Monday. Frobably Senator Perkins will be present to inform the association concerning the pending bill. A general discussion is cer- tain to take place and some immediate action is expected. The Bakersfleld Californian says that therc is much -excitement in the Sunset fleld owing to the presence of five corps or rallroad surveyors who are workin; there. Two of these, so says the Califor- nian, are employed for the Midland Pa- cific line, otherwise known as the Me- Donald lne; two are for the Bakersfleld- Ventura_electric road; the fifth party is supposed to be composed of freelances: concerning whom nothing definite 18 known locally. —_— —_— Third-Street Widening.

The Board of Works yesterday award- ed contracts to the City Street Improve- ment Company to repave Beale street, between Market and Mission, for $8360 40, and to repave North Point street, between Leavenworth and Hyde, for $2034 9.
