SUBSCRIPTION---§5.00 PER ANNUM Uit SIGE OF GRAFTERS Powerful Fiaancial Interests in San Francisco Fight. HENEY ISSUES STATEMENT Prosecuting Attorney Says the Critical Stage Is at Hand and Calls Upon Citizens to Give Their Fullest As- sistance in Work Still to Be Done. San Francisco, June .—In a state- ment just Issued Assistant Distriet At- torney Francls J. Heney, head of the graft prosecution, outlines the policy of the men who have made possible the indictment of nearly a score of San Francisco’s wealthy capitalists, denounces as malicious falsehoods the charges which have been made that the prosecutors are influenced by po- litical motives and openly charges that some of the most powerful financial Interests of the country have been brought into the battle on the side of the alleged bribe givers. Heney de- clares that the greatest crisis-in the graft exposure is now at hand and that the greatest crisis In the history of San Francisco goes side by side with it. He charges that President Patrick Calhoun of the United Rail- roads has sought the aid of the wealthiest bankers and merchants of the city to free him from the clutches of the prosecution and prevent his having to pay the penalty for his al- leged crimes. A meeting was held a short time ago, he says, at which Cal- houn called together a number of the heads of the largest San Francisco banks and sought their aid through a thinly veiled request for backing In the carrying on of the car strike. The powerful influences which he set at work to Injure the prosecution, Heney says, have been hampering the prosecution to a certain extent, as they have raised a sentiment of doubt as to the real motives behind the in- vestigation and he calls upon the oiti- zens of San Francisco to give thelr fullest assistance to the work that is still to be done. ROYAL SCANDAL IN- SPAIN Suit Involving Reputation of Late King Alfonso. Madrid, June *.—The supreme court has declared itself competent to try the suit of the heirs of Elena Sanz, the singer, against the heirs of King Alfenso XIL Elena Sanz was a beautiful Bohe- mian opera singer with whom Alfonso XIL, father of the present king of Spain, became enamored- She bore the king two sons, the oldest of whom she named Alfonso. The singer was banished from Spain after the death of Alfonso XIL and died poor and friendless in Paris in 1899,-though the king is said to have fully provided for her in his will, leaving her an ample annuity, which was to revert after her death to her children, who were minors, to be pald to them until they became of age. The terms of the will, however, ap- pear not to have been carried out and the eldest son of Mme. Sanz secured the services of Senor Mongues, a well known Republican, lawyer and mem- ber of the chamber of deputies, and is said to be determined to have his claim legally established at any cost. The case was taken before the civil courts, whose competency was ques- tioned, and eventually was referred to the supreme court. The question of the competency of the latter tribunal was then brought forward, with the result that it has declared itself com- petent to try the case. PRESIDENT IN MICHIGAN. Speaks at Saml-Cen!emflal of State Agricultural College. Lansing, Mich, June *.—President Roosevelt, whose address on the cam- pus of the Michigan Agricultural col- lege was the climax of the semi-cen- tennial celebration of the founding of that famous institution, arrived in Lansing at 10 a. m. over the Lake Shore railrogd in his special car. He made a number of short addresses during the morning from his car plat- form at small towns. Speclal excur- sion traing had been bringing in thou- sands of people since daylight and when Lhe president’s train arrived the number of strangers in the city was estimated at 50,000. Twelve com- panies of the Michigan national guard had been brought into the eity to escort and guard the president, to- gether with a troop of cavalry from South Haven, Mich., and two divisions [0f the Michigan naval reserve.

Chicago, June 1L—The executtve committee of. the American Meat Packers' association, whose member- ship embraces 275 large and small packers in twenty-nine states, met here and unanimously adopted a reso- jution asking all inspected slaughter- ing establishments to bay cows and other “she cattle” subject to post- mortem inspection by the United States government. The request was made that immediate effect be given L the resolution. Secretary George L. MecCarthy of the association said: “The diseased cows to which we ob- Ject come from dirty, filthy farms and it naturally follows that the dairy herds from which most of them come are diseased. The danger to the pub- lic by consuming milk and other dairy products from tubercular cows and cows suffering from other diseases would be appalling if it were gener- ally known. The farmers who are responsible for this condition of af- fairs have no incentive to keep their farms clean and their herds free from disease so long as they are paid full value for diseased animals sent to market for slaughter, but when cattle are bought subject to inspection after death every farmer whd has been criminally negligent will immediately clean up his place and take measures to keep disease out of his herd.” Dies at His Wife's Grave. ‘Waukesha, Wis.,, June 7.—Dr. J. K. Jamison of Chicago committed suicide by shooting at the grave of his wife at the Catholic cemetery in the town of Genesee. Dr. Jamison and Miss Ethkel Gibson of this city were married about two yvears and a half ago and went to Chicago fo reside. They were most devoted to each other and Mrs. Jamison’s death on Feb. 2 last was a great shock to her husband. FOUR PERISH IN FLAMES Several Others Badly Burned at Long Branch, N. J. Long Branch, N. J, June ’.—The two. daughters of Walter A. Schiffer of New York, secretary of the Unii- ed Cigar Maunufacturers’ company, Marion, aged ten, and Ruth, aged four- teen, and two servants; Mary Dilter and Tilly Monthon, were burned to death in a fire which destroyed the handsome residence of Jacob Roths- child, which Mr. Schiffer had rented. In attempting to rescue her children Mrs. Schiffer was so severely burned as to be in a critical condition and Mr. Schiffer suffered severe burns in fighting the fire. Two guests of Mr. and Mrs. Schif- fer, B. Citroen and M. Breicer, were also seriously Dburned. In jumping from a window John Irvine, the butler, suffered a fracture of his left arm and his back was injured. Mrs. Holt, the governess, suffered several severe burns while trying to secure the chil- dren in her care, and Kate McMurray and Josephine Hottman, servants, were Injured by jumping from the windows, Mr. and Mrs. Schiffer and their two guests had not retired when the fire was dlscovered in the kitchen about midnight. While Mr. Schiffer and his guests remained down stairs to fight the fire Mrs. Schiffer ran up stairs to spread the alarm and to see that her children reached safety. On reaching the door of the room occupied by tite children Mrs. Schiffer "was overcome by smoke and fell. Mrs. Holt, thé governess, found her there and dragged her to a window. Before she revived .the house be- came fllled with suffocating smoke and in the confusion which followed no one of the family was able to reach the room occupied by the children. Mrs. Schiffer fled from the house with her clothing on fire and was rolled on the damp grass of the lawn to extin- guish the blaze. BRIEF BITS OF NEWS.

LOSS OF THE LEOPARD A True Tale of the Sea by the Captain of Peary’s Roosevelt. FIGHT FOR LIFE IN THE ICE. Sealer’s Crew After an Awful Night on the Black Ocean Scales Three Hun- dred Feet of Frozen Cliff to Safety. Helped by an Old Wreck. This is a true story of the loss of the sealer Leopard on ihe deadly southeast eoast of Newfoundland, as told by Cap- tain Robert A. Bartlett of the Peary aretie ship Roosevelt, who is now in New York city to superintend the fit- ting out of that stanch vessel for an- other attempt to reach the north pole. On March 6 last the sealer Leopard, Captain Bartlett commanding, was in St. John’s harbor, having taken on sealing supplies, coal, provisions and camping outfits. She carrled tremen- dous weight for a craft of her size. In addition she had 105 seal clubbers, for A SINISTER SWELL LIFTED HER HIGH. once on the sealing grounds, which in the gulf lie between latitude 42-48 north, work on the thin ice must be done quickly, and pelts must be gath- ered by many hands. At 1 o'clack the sealer was headed out of the harbor for the open sea. It was a beautiful day, but the waters were jammed with ice. It was a fight from the start, three miles of steady bucking, erunching, grinding, full stop; then a rush full speed ahead, a crash; another ship's length gained. It was 8 o'clock when the Leopard steamed into open water. As she rounded the cape the heavens, which all afternoon had been of clearest blue and after sunset studded with stars, suddenly became black. The wind be- gan to moan from the southeast, and inside of fifteen minutes half a gale, accompanied by blinding snow, was assalling the coast bitterly. Captain Bartlett’s problem was this: He had to take his boat down the coast until Cape Race had been cleared, when he could head northwest, taking his vessel past Cape Breton ard St. Plerre Miquelon, finally entering the gulf. He held the Leopard about elev- en miles offshore. He would have given a great deal had he dared to take his vessel still farther out to sea, be- cause the wind, which had bgen hold- ing from the southeast, had hauled dead east and was thus blowing direct- Iy on shore and with full hurricane force by this time—9 o’clock. Outside the slob ice through which the ship was sailing the gale was lashing the ocean into fury. Hour after hour passed. It was the blackest night Captain Bartlett ever knew. Fifty fathoms ahead there was nothing to see—nothing but a black vold against which the bullet rush of snow produced the vaguest impres- sion of movement. Outside the line of slob ice the terrific séas could be heard battling among themselves in elemental riot. Even the welghted waters through which the Leopard plowed her way rose out of the dark in many a long swell, lifting the vessel toward heavens~that could not be seen, drop- ping her into depths from which there seemed no escape. But up and out of them steamed the Leopard, trembling and going on and on into the gloom. Midnight came and passed. Captain Bartlett had long known that the ves- sel was making in all the time on that dreaded tangent line, but now the fact began to thrill through the ship like a clammy breeze. The master was not really worried, because he thought that the leeward drift would not set at naught the headway down the coast. But he wanted to hear the sound of that Cape Race bell. So did every one, The sealers huddled in whispering | groups on the deck, looking inquiringly at an officer or a sailor as he hurried past, but venturics no questions. ‘Where was that bell? It was time that the notes began to drift to them through the secondary lapses into si- lence which sometimes characterize ‘high winds. Captain Bartlett and his mate, William Wilecox, were on the bridge, and every minute that passed told these two experienced navigators as it told no other man on the vessel that a tragedy which is old as mankind is old was setting its grim scenes for another act. “All’s well!” came the voice from the lookout on tne topgallant forecastle head. - “All's well!” echoed the man on the upper topsail yard. But there was a dubious ring to these assurances. The. wind increased in fury. The snow flew in veritable clouds, From the bridge but a few| feet of water could be seen over the bow. One o’clock. The Leopard steam- ed on. Every one felt as a man must feel who walks blindfolded over an acre strewn with pitfalls. Aside from the occasional call of the lookouts there was. absolute silence. Captain Bartlett looked at his watch, One-thirty o'clock. And they before he could replace the timeplece 1t came—a loua, rendlng, grinding crash and then a lifting and quivering which told the master that the swell had lifted the vessel clear of the hidden reef. “All hands on deck! Loose the top- salll” These two commands hurtled from the bridge in rgpid succession, while as the chief officer headed the craft dead for shore the signal full speed ahead sounded down In the en- glne room. The sealer bounded for- ward ten yards. Then a crash and then another. A sinister swell lifted her high.and then let her down. "An- other one lifted her and dropped her on the stony fangs below. Still anoth-. er swell ralsed the vessel, and this time she fell back on her starboard beam. 7 There was little“excitement, accord- ing to Captain Bartlett. The men just clung to whatever was handy and waited for orders. The launching of boats in that pastelike ice which smothered the waters was out of the question, and so the captain ordered the sealers to take their pokers and “prizes” and spear planks and make a bridge. But a bridge to where? The darkness was suffocating, so to speak. The men seemed shut in a narrow vac- uum. There came a pause in the wind, a sudden lift in the storm, and Captain Bartlett amidships saw through the gloom the outlines of a wreck, grim and ghostlike, dead ahead, not fifty yards away He looked again and then recognized the wreck of the steamship Vera, which 7e up her life under TOWARD HIS VESSEL HE TURNED A LAST LOOK.

We have no secrets! We 'pnhulh £be formulas ofall our prepars Black Head cliff two years before, - So Black Head cliff it was. He knew it to be a sheer promonto- ry, rising 300 feet above the surf, which lashed its base. But sheer as that cliff was he knew that every man {on the Leopard had to make the base of it without delay. The bridge there- fore was pushed forward until, with a shout of joy, it was discovered that astern of the Vera, between the hull and the cliff, had formed hard, level ice. From the bridge to this ice the men of the sealer made their way. Here - they paused, hardly knowing what to do. The cliff towered over them, and ahead were the ice clogged surf and the reefs. They looked at the Leopard. She had gone clear over on her starboard side, with her foreyards resting on a shoal. The rocks worried the starboard side out of her, and the cargo tumbled and splashed into the waters and was swallowed. One of the men discovered a num- ber of ropes depending from the top of the cliff to the base. A beneficent government had placed them there in view of just such an accident. Haul- Ing themselves by their hands, digging their feet in any protuberance they could find, man after man worked up a sheer height of 120 feet, whence the remaining 180 feet of ascent were more sloping. A slipping of the fingers on the rope, the slightest weakness or giddiness, meant instant death, but the chance had to be taken. And they took it in the darkness, with the hurricane all about, and succeeded to a man. As Captain Bartlett, the last man from the ship and the last man from the bottom of the cliff, selzed the hand ropes he turned toward his vessel a last look. As he did so a swell eaught her and, with cargo out, tossed her high. She landed on her beam and struggled to right herself, like 2 wounded animal trylng to rise. Another swell tossed her, and down she went again on the grinding rocks. When she rose again she was a frayed, spineless, shapeless jhulk. Down she crashed on the black crags, and the waves ran In, bearing bits of matchwood—the dark shape of _| the Leopard had disappeared. Ten minutes later a thin line of dark figures were wending their way across the hills to Broad Cera In Mitigation. Judge—Prisoner, have you anything ito sy to the court before sentence is pronounced?

It is conceivable that the officers.of Wellington’s day thought him a terri- ble old bully. He actually forbade ambrellas In battle! He expected them not only to expose and sacrifice their lives at the word of command, but ac- tually to risk the tarnishing of their beautiful uniforms in the rain which fell during a battle near Bayonne. He saw the Grenadlers sheltering under a forest of umbrellas and sent off Lord Hill with this message: “Lord Welling- ‘ton does not approve of the use of um- brellas during the enemy’s firing and will not allow the ‘Gentlemen’s Sons’ to make themselves ridiculous in the eyes of the army.” After the battle Colonel Tynling was reprimanded by the duke for permitting the offense. Sald the great man, “The guards in uniform may, when on duty at St James', carry umbrellas if they please, but in the fleld it is not only ridiculous but unmilitary.” Let it not be forgot- ten, however, that the delinquents, dandies though they were, proved themselves among the bravest when fighting- was going on.—St. James’ Ga- zette. What a Hatpin Revealed. A certain large millinery establish- ment makes a specialty of women’s trimmed hats at $5 and $10. It is cut- ting largely into the trade of the small- er high priced dealers. A short time ago a woman of fashion went into the establishment mentioned and tried on several hats, but found none to suit her. Before going out she missed a valuable hatpin. A careful search falled to bring it to light, and its dis- appearance remained a mystery. A few days later the customer, still look- ing for a suitable hat, visited one of the expensive millinery shops in the city. Among the hats shown to her, none of which was priced lower than $35, was one that closely resembled one of the hats she had tried on in the ten dollar store. She took it up to_ex- amine it more closely. As she felt the trimming she noticed that the end of a hatpin was concealed beneath a bunch of artificial lowers. Drawing it out, she discovered it to be her missing hatpin.—New York Tribune. ‘What the Noise Did.
