ROSSLAND EVENING RECORD, SEPTEMBER 30, 1899.

NO INDUCEMENTA.

Neither, Special Rates nor a Special ‘pfain cane Sechiéa.

At‘the meeting. ‘of ‘the’ commtittee ‘appointed by the Board of Trade to arrange for ‘Rogsland’s excursion to Spokane, held last evening in the new court room, the secretary, Mr. H. W.'C. Jackson, ‘read a telegram from the general agent of the Great Northern, in which he states that he has written to Mt. Ruff, the local ‘agent, explaining that it will be'im- possible to give Rossland a special train, owing to scercity of equip- ment onthe Great Northern and Northern Pacific, because of the volunteers returning from the Phil- ippines. He also says it is impos- sible to grant any further reduced rates than have been granted, as this would not be fair to other or- ganizations located on the com- panies’ lines. The Great Northern thinks the rate of $7.75 very reason- able.

The Rossland Board of Trade had hoped to secure a rate of about $6 for, the International day excursion, and to secure a special train, leav- ing Rossland about'7 a.m. With this inducement, the committee felt confident that they could make up a large list of passengers, and many would have attended on Interna- tional day, even ata little incon- venience, in order to swell the number. As it is, with no induce- ment whatever, those who visit the fair will do so when it best suits their arrangements. The whole matter has been left with the com- mittee and it may be that some member will be instructed to pro- ceed to Spokane and arrange. the matter.

He said tha reason Mr. Beamish was 'pursuing him so violently was’ be- cause he had refused to support him for chief of the fire department.

To Mr. MacNeill: Beamish had been informed by the witness that he did not consider him a competent man for chief of the fire department.

Barr and Bell. He knew the regu- lations pertaining to the police force and had tried ‘to carry them out. He had never had Mitchell under arrest tor selling whisky to Indians. As far as the charge against. Mitch- ell of keeping company with a cer- tain woman in the ‘*Row” was con- cerned, he had sent him to that house on several occasions ‘to information about the various houses in the ‘*Row” and on Lincoln street. No report had been made of immor- al character about any member otf the force. He remembered the case referred to in the evidence of Webb, and was positive that the man had been brought before the magistrate and that Webb had been repri- manded by the magistrate for ar- resting the man for vagrancy. The system of collecting fines was then gone into and the methods ex- plainied.g§ Mitchell was specially de- tailed to find out the new women in town,

The only time he had ever said anything to the commissioners about Mitchell was when Mah Hong had spoken to kim about the $45. The only time he was ‘jolly’ was at the time the Elks were here. So far as the obstruction referred to by Ald. Hooson was concerned he had personally told Mr. Watson to re-

done later. He had recommended Mitchell for appointment on the force because he had been recom- mended by Mayor Scott and two aldermen. :

charges made against Mitchell in Calgary, he was chief of police thereat thattime. Mitchell was hon- orably acquitted of the charge, and warrants are still out for the men whom he (the chief) had always sis- pected of the crime. He had never known Mitchell under any other name than Mitchell. So far as Mitchell’s work as a detective was concerned, it had been of the most valuable kind. He could get infor- mation better than any man in town, The only complaint that had been made to him prior to the in- vestigation had been by Robert Barr, who had been mad ‘because two men, who were afterwards arrested and fined, were not ‘allowed to play any percentage games ‘in Barr’s place.

He had heard of police, receiv- ing money for privileges but ‘not in Rossland. The only outside pro- tection that had been asked for, had been by W. H. Bell, who wanted to run a wheel in his place. At that time the two were friends bit later became at outs on of this

had asked for two month’s leave of absence to look after some claims he had and had been told it was impossible to grant it. Mitchell then said he would quit. He had made no report on the “Scotty” Urquhart case. There had been an_ understanding that certain games should go on and these games were poker and such. Each successive mayor had instruc- ted him to let things run as they had been running before. So far as the alleged assault on Mah Hong, he had taken him by the collar be-. cause he made two differenc state-. ments, On that occasion he had. lost his temper. He was pressedto say why he‘had not taken Bell and others by the collar as well as the Chi When Mitchell had been asked to ‘allow Morrison and Leahy to play in Barr's place, Barr. and Mitchell were on the most friendly terms.

Mr. MacNeill objected to this state- ment but the chief reiterated it and stated he had received two apolo- gies from Mr. Bell, the second of ‘which he had accepted. ‘As'to the complaints made by ‘‘Scotty” about the jail, Magistrate Jordan had in- vestigated it and found it un- founded.

The charges alleged in the infor- mation were then read over and the witness catéegorically denied them all until it'came to Dr. Reddick’s ‘charges. 'He'said that ‘the ‘doctor had been called in, in June, to at- tend a. msn, thus contradicting the

About 11 o'clock last night an alarm of fire called the fire depart-

the corner of Spokane street and First avenue, kept b Mrs. Moore.

A‘ pan of grease had’ een upset and caught fire, but the blaze was ex-

tinguished before the department arrived. The damage will not ex- ceed $25. i

At 11:45 this morning an alarm was turned in from Chinatown and both teams turned out. The « fire was ina Chinese “hop” joint and started from the stove. The chem- ical was called into requisition with Frank French as engineer, and the flames were extinguished in a few minutes. The loss will not exceed $25 and, of course, there was no in- surance. Inside the building were complete opium smoking outfits,

in the same first-class manner as the Clarendon here. Mr. A. J. Fay is the manager and is ably assisted by Mr. Jack Hardy.

Inland Revenue Returns. The returns of the inland revenue office here tor the month of Septem- ber show that there was collected on account of spirits, $1,915.20; malt liquors, $756.67; cigars, $60; leaf tobacco, $12.70, making a total of $2,744.57- %

The matter of extradition will be fought bitterly, and if the decision is against the defendant it will prob- ably be appealed to a justice of -the supreme court before the papers are certified to Ottawa. In the mean- time Mr. Hinckley, or Morris, is at the Kootenay in charge of ex-officer A. J. McMillan, and will probably remain there until the final decision in his case is made.

‘Was Always Cautious About Having His Phe- tograph Taken—Some of the Details of the Barly History of the Oase.

Charles A. Hinckley, alias Char- les S. Morris, who is accused of having stolen $97,000 from the West Side bank of New York, is occupying comfortable quarters in the Hotel Kootenay, and is care- fully guarded by ex-Police Officer A.J. McMillan. In the meantime messages are coming from all parts of the United States asking for his portrait. -The. officials of the bank who are here say that they were never able to secure a portrait of the accused, as when all ofher offi- cials of the bank were photographed in a group Hinckley declined to be included, and no photograph of him is extant so far as known, though every effort has been made since the robbery to obtain one.

‘The extradition proceedings are going on apace and as soon as Judge Forin arrives will be taken up. According to the statement of one of the friends of the accused the proceedings will be opposed on the ground that under the old treaties theft and embezzlement were not extraditable offences and that the act under which the extradition is +6 Be ‘asked for was-not passed” un="~ til 1890, while the alleged crime was committed in 1884.

One of the features of the case is the fact that the bank did its clear- ing through the one that John C. Eno robbed of $3,000,000 and that when Eno skipped the West Side bank had to do its clearing direct. Before, however, the West Side bank was allowed to become a member of the association the man- ager of the cléaring house insisted on going through the books and it was just at this time that Hinckley left New York. He did not follow the same route as that tdken by Eno and others and locate in Mon- treal, but first wentto Rat Portage, Man., and ‘afterwards' to Toronto.
