L o e e e e U e e S WOMAN HOBS GEORGE HOBNAGE Attorney Is Despoiled by Chance Acquaintance Met on the Street. —_—— Special Dispatch to The Call NEW YORK, Jan. 15.—George Hornage, a well-known real estate man of Stockton, Cal., complained to the police that on last Thursday he was robbed of a draft for $35,000 and $600 In cash. Hornage and H, V. J. Swain, an atter- ney of Stockton, are friends of Howard Buckley, who recently in a will case ob- talned judgment for property at Port Chester, N. Y., valued at about $50,000. The property has been tied up, however, and Buckley received no revenue. So his attorney, ex-Congressman Marion de Vries, and Messrs. Hornage and Swaln have from time to time advanced him sums of money to meet his current living expenses, and {o_secure the three friends Buckley ‘assigned his Port Chester prop- erty to Hornage and Swain. Of late money in rents has been coming in. Hornage and Swain arrived in New York about a week ago to consult with De Vries. Hornage is stopping at the Normandie Hotel. On last Thursday, just as he stepped outside the hotel door, he made the acquaintance of a woman on the street, who said her name was Carey. The police have ascer- talned she gave her correct name. Horn- age accompanied her to her apartments in West Thirty-eighth street, not far from the Herald buliding. He soon left her to o to a theater, when he missed his pock- etbook. He hurried back to her room and met the woman coming out. He asked her if she had seen his money.

The secretary told of the year's work and the committee on seamanship and naviga- tion had a fing at report making. Then the special meeting of the board of trustees was called and this is the modi- cum of work it performed: E. Scott was elected secretary, treas- urer and librarian; standing committees were appointed for the year and a resolu- tipn avproving the bill now before the Legislature for the appointment of Water and Forest Commissioners to confer with the representatives of the Federal Gov- ernment for the purpose of making sur- veys and investigation of the water re- sources of our State was passed. B e e e e e e A O 0 S S S “no,” and suggested he search the flat while she went on an errand. She hur- ried away and escaped. Mr. Hornage did not find his money and went back to the hotel and told the clerk of his adventure. The clerk adyised him to report the matter to the police of the Seventh station, which he did. John C. Ellis, whose name has frequent- 1y been mentioned with questionable re- sorts and who was run out of the tender- loin by Captain Price, owns the flat house where the woman lived. He refused to give any Information concerning her to The Call correspondent. She did not re- turn to the house after robbing Hornage. Hornage left the Normandie Saturday without telling where he was going. Howard Buckley's claim agalnst M. H. Hegderson is for the estate of his father, Charles F. Buckley, who was colonel of engineers in the Union army during the civil war. After the war he went to Cen- tral America, where he dled of fever. At that time his wife and son Howard lived in Stockton. Howard Buckley is still a resident of Stockton, although at present engaged temporarily in the oll well busi- ness in Southern California. Recently in Stockton young Buckley's wife sued him for divorce and has asked for a share of the estate. The police say payment of the draft has been stopped. SAY THEY WOULD NOT » PERMIT THE FIGHT Twenty-Seven Governors Replying to a Query, Declare in Opposition to Jeffries. CINCINNATI, Jan. 15.—An evening paper has replies from {wenty-seven Goy- ernors in regard to prizefights and only one, the Governor of Nevada. states that he would allow the Jeffries-Ruhlin fight in his State if {t cannot be pulled off in Cincinnati on February 15.

AOCKHILL WiLL " [OME Homg Special Commissioner Is Ordered to Return From Peking, CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, Jan. 15—W. W. Rockhill, special commissioner of the United States ‘to China, has been recalled from Peking. Though from all that can be learned Mr. Conger was disinclined to adopt the sensible suggestions Mr. Rock- hill has made, he whl lose by Mr. Rock- hill's withdrawal an able counselor. Mr. Rockhill is acknowledged to be an author- ity on Chinese affalrs, and was sent to the Celestial kingdom last summer to take the place of Mr. Conger had he been slain, While in China he has been the eyes and ears of Secretary Hay, keeping him ad- vised about occurrences upon which Mr. Conger was apt to make prejudiced re- ports. Mr. Rockhill's withdrawal is due to the desire of the administration to have him in Washington, and he will be able to gle;ce at the disposal of the President and retary Hay many facts of importance and interest. He will leave Peking for the United States as soon as navigation opens. i connection with Mr. Rockhill's recall, the suj tlon has been made that Mr. Conger ordered home In his stead and Mr. Rockhill be left to conduct the Chi- nege negotiations to a final conclusion. As muth as the authorities would probably like to order Mr. Conger to return to the nited States, it is apparent that the pressure of missionary influence and Con- gressional friends of the Minister will cause his retention at his post. FEW ANENDMENTS TORNVERBILL No Appropriations Made for Reclamation of Arid Lands. . = | Western Members of the House Fight Hard to Gain Their Point, but Meet With Limited Support. e | WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.—The House spent another day on the river and har- bor bill without completing it. Twenty- | six pages were disposed of to-day. The friends of the bill successtully resisted all | attempts to load down the bill with new | projects, and only one or two unimportant | amendments were adopted. The Western members labored unsuccessfully to secure | an entering wedge for their pet scheme for the reclamation of the arid lands, but | received very limited support. | The Senate resolution to appropriate | $7000 to enable the secretary of the Senate to pay the expenses of the inauguration of the President and Vice President March 4 was called up and precipitated a | lively discussion because it did not recog- | nize the House as a participating factor in the inauguration ceremonies. 'The res- clution was recommitted, with instruc- | tions to report back a resolution provid- ing for inaugural ceremonies unaer the | auspices of a joint committee of tne Sen- | ate and House. | The House then resumed consideration of the river and harbor appropriation bill. | King of Utah criticized his Democratic | colleagues for supporting immense river | and hartor bills because they happened to | contain what he termed “‘pork” in which | they were interested. He charged that not the Democratic party, 1g far from their old moorin; in championing appropriations for strictiy local purposes. Mondell of Wyoming offered an amend- ment to appropriate $0.000 for construet- ing reservoirs in Wyoming for the pur- pose of holding back the flood waters of | the Missouri River. carried The amendment also for $165,000 to This amendment the entering wedge of the advo- frrigation of the arid lands in an authorization cates of t the West. | Burton promptly raised the point that | the amendment was not germane.

Hopkins of Illinols, who was in the chair, ruled that the amendment was in order. The amendment was lost—37 to 8. | Other amendments of a similar character met a like fate. | An amendment by Bartholdt to instruct | the Mississippi River Commission to make 2n inquiry into the feastbility of the es- tablishment of a system of reservoirs in the St. Francis Basin, with a view of cut- | ting down the height of the flood water at the junction of the Ohio and Missi sippi rivers, was adopted. Mondell then offered an amendment to appropriate $50,000 for preliminary exam- fnation of reservolr sites in each of the arid and semi-arid States. The amend- ment was lost without division. | Without completing the bill the House at 5:06 p. m. adjourned. over the whole GENERAL ALBAN DRIVES REBEL FORCES BACK Federal Troops Defeat the Insur- gents, Inflicting Heavy Losses.

Stewart of Nevada ared his oppe tion to the resolution on the ground that it was “‘an untruthful recital of conditions in_the Philippines. The resolution was referred to the Com- mittee on the Phillppines. Teller said he would expect a repe from the committee and if one were no made he would know how to get it Consideration of the army reorganiza- tion bill was resume ormally. Teller then offered his ameadment to the section of the bill authorizing the President to retire an army officer under suspension by sentence of a court-martial. He a luded to a statement made a few da Hawley about the possibility on account of the jealousy of the European pdwers. “Is not the Senator perfectly awar inquired Hawley, with evident warmt “that I repudiated that statement?" “I do not care whether you did or not, retorted Teller. “T know you do not,”” observed Hawley “I have got it here and I will read it.” said the Colorado Senator. “The Senator spoke of something in the air, and he re- ferred > purchase of the Danish isi- lands. news rs_of the country took it up and used it.
