ORLOFF AND WIFE
FACE INDICTMENT
Grand Jury Acts in Cases of
Clairvoyants Charged With
Swindling
Two Others Involved and Pros
ecution Is Now ' Taken .From
the Police Courts
Oscar Orloff. clairvoyant, his wife
Mary and two others were indicted by
the grand jury yesterday on a charge
of grand larceny. Orloff was arrested
yesterday afternoon by Detective Steve
Bunner and was at once released on
$1.r.00 cash bail.
Orloff' and his wife were arrested
eoine weeks ago on a charge of grand
larceny on complaint of Mrs. Frances
Fliaw of Oakland, who alleged that
they got $150 from her in Oakland in
December last by telling her that the
spirit of lier dead father had spoken
through a trumpet and had told her to
allow the' Orloffs to invest her money
for her In Nevada mining stock, but
ehe had never seen the stock or the
money. At the preliminary hearing
before Judge Conlan the evidence
showed that Mrs. Orloflf was the only
"ope with whom Mrs. Shaw had any
dealings and the case against Orloff
was disjiiisstd. A new complaint was
_*worn to in Judge Deasy's court for
: tJ:e arrest, of Mrs. Orloff and that case
"yriil come up this morning.
•-'^Another woman, Mrs. Rose Alves, of
iElmhurst. also had Mrs. Orloff arrested
for swindling her out of 5100 by the
t->ame means -and that case is also pend
ing in Judge Deasy's- court.
The indictments are based upon
these cases as the district attorney
desired to take them out of the police
court.
. OrlorT, while posing as Oscar Arnold,
was arrested in Los Angeles In April,
TSrt(9, and brought to this city by De
tective Steve* Bunner on a warrant
charging him with grand larceny on
romplaint of the wife of T. Paterson
Koss, the well known architect. Sh»
' : httd been attending the seances for
\u25a0months Jn Arnold's room and she al
leged that he got from her coin, jew
elry and adornments of the value oi
S6,«'<K>. Arnold fled with his wife and
;yent east, but returned to Los Angeles,
where tie was arrested.
At the time Mrs. Ross claimed that
Kamara Chadura. a Hindu priest, was
the chief conspirator in fleecing her
out of her coin and effects, but he fled
from the city and eluded capture. A
woman was also one of the conspirators
and she was supposed to be Arnold's
wife. Mrjs. Ross refused to prosecute
the case and it was dismissed.
RUSSIA FORCING JEWS
BACK INTO THE PALE
Oppressive Measures Resorted
to by Czar's Officials
ST. PETERSBURG. June 3. —In
furtherance of its purpose to drive back
into the pale — the district formed by
the Polish provinces and the Ukraine —
all Jews who can not establish a legal
right of residence outside its confines,
the Russian government Is now pur
suing a close inquiry regarding those
engaged in the drug business or who
claim to be so engaged.
The drug store proprietors chiefly
ere Jews, and their employes as well
as salesmen for drug houses traveling
;in, the- interior are now called on not
only to exhibit pharmaceutic certifi
cates, but to satisfy tht/ authorities
that they are actively occupied with
the business for which they are li
censed.
Tlie "owners of drug stores are being
required to reduce their staffs of clerks
juitl apprentices in every instance
"here the authorities consider that
th« number employed is out of p.ro
jiortion to the business done. -
In response to representation made
by him, M. Friedman, Jewish member
•:f the duma. was informed today that
Emperor Nicholas has authorized the
Caucasian, authorities to make certain
concessions to Jews residing temporar
ily in the Caucasus.
The health resorts of the Caucasus
are frequented .much by persons de
siring the benefits of .the baths to be
had there. The law, however,' forbids
the residence of Jews in the district.
INCREASED COST OF
LIVING KAISER'S PLEA
Wilhelm Explains Why He
, Needs Raise in Salary
BKRLIX. June 3. — A semiofficial dec
laration was issued today explaining
the- causes of the financial stress under
which the emperor finds himself and
the requirement for an increase in the
civil list" of "the king of Prussia as
agreed upon by the leaders of the
Prussian diet yesterday. It has been
decided- to introduce a bill to bring
his majesty's . allowance up to about
$5. 0^0,000.
The public is reminded that the
Prussian crown surrendered to the
Mate in 1820 properties yielding at
that time nearly - 12.000.000 annually
and the value of which has been
greatly augmented since.
Th* increased cost of living renders
the present allowance inadequate, the
statement says. Each year his sup
port ot the court theaters alone costs
the emperor $700,000. and in recent
years he has increased the salaries of
the middle and lower employes of
the imperial household by a total of
