REPRODUCE BALLOTS FOR USE IN A VOTING CONTEST Attempt Will Be Made to Prosecute Printer on Charge of Forgery. Mont., June 14 The question from a newspaper in a voting will probably be decided in a case at just zrisen here. The Butte Inter-Mountain has been carrying on a voting contest, the winners to get free trips to the Buffalo Exposition. To-day D. K. Walton, an employe of the People's Publishing Company, was arrested, charged with forging coupons and selling them. He was released on bail. The man- agers of the publishing company do not deny making the plates and printing the but say there is no forgery in re- ng such a thing from a news- paper. Thousands of the bogus coupons have been voted, and the Inter-Mountain people propose to find out if the reproduc- tion scheme is a forgery or not. i CSTER SHIRPERS AL Continued from Page One.

He de- cided to communicate with Captain | Seymour, and an arrangement was made | the detectives to meet Gordon at | r and Turk streets, as he had tele- ned to Ames that Crosby was confined to bed and could not call at the office. B 1 was quickly placed under arrest and Crosby and Barton were found at 11 Taylor street. Crosby had his eyes paint- | €d black and his head bandaged. Gibson made him wash his face and the apparent discoloration of his eyes disappeured. | There was nothing the matter with him. The police are searching for the fourth man, who called at Ames’ office Thursday and who telephoned to Captain Seymour yesterday afternoon. { When the men were searched there were found, besides the Ward Consolidated cer- tificate, a certificate fer 5000 shares in the Czar Gold Mining Company of Denver. 10,000 shares in the Doctor Gold Mining and Milling Company of Colorado Springs end 20,000 shares in the Rockford Gold Mining and Milling Company of Cripple Creek. How the certificates came into the possessi of the three men will be a matter for Captain Seymour to discover if possible. e certificate of the Ward Consolidated Company is said to be gen- uine, but the stock is worthless and not in the market. Nothing is known of the men here. In connection with their mining deals they evidently solicited subscriptions for the “New Werner Edition of the Encyclope- dia Britannica.” as orders and other pa- pers were found in their room at 11 Tay- e ‘i fbut afier Gork sewis claims that after Gordon called at his office he missed a certificate for 30,9%0 shares of ofl stock, but as it was not indorsed it was worthless and he did not care to bother about it.

RIVER OF IGE IMPERILS MINER Prospectors 'in a Wild . Raft Ride on the Yukon. Floes in the Turbulent Stream Speed Them to Dawson. gt Special Dispatch to The Call. VICTORIA, B. C., June 14—News was brought by the' steamer Danube, which arrived here to-day, of the wild ride of two miners on an ice jam in the Yukon. These two miners, L. V. Stanley and Tone Udegard, were the first men to reach Dawson from the outside this year after the ice broke, but their honor was won | only after a trying experience. They were. twelve days aboard a frail raft, tossed and did not know but every minute would be their last. The men left Indian River for Dawson on May 13, and arrived at the Yukon cap- ital or May 25. They had gone from Daw- son to Indian River over the ice on a duck-shooting expedition, and meeting no success had decided to return to Dawson. The ice had broken, and notwithstanding that the river was full of ice they decided to make the voyage on a raft. A number of logs were bound together and on this raft they placed thelr outiit and two dogs and started for Dawson. For several miles they made good prog- ress, for the river was more or less free from ice, but it required constant care to elude the floes. It was not until they were two days out that the peril began. Without warning the ice jam broke be- hind them and ewept along from Ogilvie by the swift current. The thickly running ice soon overtook them. Cakes floated on | all sides of their frail raft and they :‘V:re‘ oy worked incessantly in an effort to extgi- | cate their raft from its peruous posiu&i | but all their labors were unavailing, and there was nothing for it but to allow the raft to be swept along.

Those who know the inside working of | the Donnely scheme say that it is a poor day’s work that does not result in three to five hundred dollars being received from the sale of tickets. The spoils are divided each evening. The women start out in the morning to sell tickets and set- tle with Donnely in the evening. The women are paid their salaries or percent- ages and Donnely “banks’ the balance of | cash in his capaclous pockets.

One of the persons who answered Don- nely’s advertisement for help was a Mrs. Carr, wife of a clegk in a liquor house. Mrs. Carr was set tb work selling tickets, but when she found out that all was not as represented she turned back a number | of donations and the purchase price of tickets to those from whom she had re- ceived them. When she told Donnely of this he was furious and declared Mrs. Carr had kept the money. He invoked the aid of the police, but the officers found that Mrs. Carr was a respectable, honest woman. Some of the young women who have been hired by Donnely in the past two weeks have been asked by him to travel | with him to other cities. One or two have consented to do so, while others are | in_doubt. | Mrs. Gregory, who learned, the charity bunko game from Donnely, recently approached the Society for the Pre-| vention . of Cruelty to Children and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. In each case her offer to give a benefit. concert was | refused. To Secretary -Holbrook of the Society of Prevention of Cruelty to Ani- mals, a letter was sent from the Grand Hotel, signed “Miss C. C. Graham.” The writer was requested by Mr. Holbrook to | call upon him, whereupon Mrs. Gregory called and claimed that her sister, *Miss Graham,” had_ written the letter. . Mrs. Gregory and “Miss Graham” are one and the same person and her deception was easily discovered by The Call. Donnely_and his band still hold forth in the “Emma Spreckels buflding, in room 612, 1f the concerts for which Don- | nely and his assoclates have sold tickets | do not take place, and the purchasers of | tickets do not receive their money back, the Donnely schemers will be guilty of | rank fraud. Admits He Was Roasted. Donnely has admitted in the past few deys that he was scored by the press in Los Angeles. He informed Mrs. Pet- tee that he had a copy of the paper that had denounced him, but refused to allow her to see it. The following dispatch throws some light on the subject: 1LOS ANGELES, June 14.—A man giving | his name as Wellington W. Danohy, ac- companied by a_woman who gave her nrame as Helen Barnes, deffauded char- itable institutions in Los Angeles of about 31000 during the month of March. ~The pair came to Los Angeles from the East early in March and spent about a month | here, They stopped at one of the best ho- tels in the city and spent money freely. The woman claimed to be a sister-in-law of Danohy. Their plan wae to create the impression_that they were philanthropists desyous of aiding worthy charitable con- cerus. Dr, Seymour, president of the local Humane Soclety, was induced to sign a contract for a musical performance, which was to be given under the direction of Danohy and Miss Barnes. They were given the right to solicit subscriptions for the benefit of the soclety for a certain percentage and were also accorded the privilege of selling tickets. The enter- tainment was given, but Danohy and his partner had been exposed and left for 4 The man and woman pocketed 'the moneys they obtained through the ‘sale of tickets and left for San Diego, where they worked the same game. They had made arrangements to work the same scheme with two other charitable organizations here and left town nearly $1000 better. off than they were when they landed here. | “The Tenth Legion THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, MGR. OTTAVIO CAGIANO DE AVEZEDO TO BE MAJORDOMO OF THE VATICAN the Pope’s Household Will Be the Successor of Cardinal Della Volpe in the Most Important Service of the Pontifical Family Present Chamberlain in Position in the K% GR. OTTAVIO CAGIANO DE AVEZEDO, the present Cham- berlain in the Pope’'s house- hold, will be the successor of Cardinal Della Volpe in the post of majordomo—the most important of the positions in the service of the pon- tifical family. Before 1870 the majordomo of the Pove was also the Prefect of the Apostolica Palaces, and thus united in himself all ad- ministrative and judiciary power over the household. The events of September 20 caused many changes in this jurisdiction, and modifications were carried out which restricted the powers of the majordomo. Of all the rights once exercised by that functionary he now retains only that of always accompanying the Pope, and suc- ceeds eventually to the governorship of the conclave. He is the .chief of the singers of the papal chapel, and has the direction of religious ceremonies. Appointed Marshal of New Mexico. WASHINGTON, June 14.—The President tosday appointed ‘Creighton M.

Dr. Smithers advocated 'bringing our thoughts into captivity from sin to Christ —that the heart should be captured for Christ.

To add to the terrors of the panic-stricken guests the electric light plant of the hotel failed a few minutes after the alarm was given, ané those o3 left to grope their way out of the dark- ness of the great wooden structure. Though there were many narrow es- capes, so far as known not a single life was lost. The register and books of thel hotel were burned, but during the day the management accounted for 263 guests wh, were In the hozel. and was confident tha there were no others. The loss on the building is $250,000, with an insurance of $110,000. Most of: the guests lost all of their clothing and many of them lost diamonds and jewelry. The aggregate of these losses it is believed is fully $50,000. In the hotel safe, which lies under the smoldering ruins, there is $10,- 000 which had been deposited by guests for safe keeping. Many of the guests have hurried to their homes, and those remaining have found shelter at French Lick. The conflagration had its origin in the kitchen, which was on the ground floor of the hotel, immediately under two rows of sleeping rooms, all of which were oc- cupled.

Fowler against Dr. George ‘W. Seifert, which involves the transfer of 150 shares of the defunct Union Savings Bank, was decided by Judge Rhodes to- day in favor of Siefért. An important side issue is the fact that the owner of the stock will be compelled to pay some $3000 in assessments into the bank for the bene- fit of the depositors. Seifert had been made the defendant in a damage suit by J. P. Burke for alleged malpractice, and after this was settled he decided to go to Europe for a visit. Fow- ler claims that before the European visit, while the bank was apparently in a pros- perous condition, Seifert turned the stock over to him, so he could attend to it while his friend was away. ‘When Seifert returned from Europe the bank had failed, and he refused to take the stock. Fowler then charged Seifert with knowing the shaky condition of the bank and transferring the stock to him for the purpose of avoiding the assess- ments that were sure to follow. Judge Rhodes held that the transfer was a pre- sumptively bana-fide transaction. el Sk AFTER THE ELECTION School Contest in Cotati Is Fraught ‘With Much Excitement and Promises Sensations.

VANCOUVER, B. C., June 14—A gen- eral strike has been ordered of all the trackmen (which includes the bridge buliders) organizations of the Canadian | Pacific Rallway. The cause of the strike | is the refusal of the company to recug-| nize the organizations of the trackmen and treat with them as they do with the ;nher brotherhoods of the rallway serv- ce. The order mailed to all points in East- ern Canada by William Wilson, president of- the trackmen, calls upon them to de- liver their keys to the nearest ‘station agent before June 17, and quit all work for the company. Over men will go out in Eastern Ganada, while in the North- west there will be another thousand join them in sympathy with the action in the East, and British Columbia will probably swell the number by five hundred more. On Wednesday the final decision of the grievance committee, as it is called, was g]tesented to President Shaughnessy and ice President D. McNicoll of the Cana- dian Pacific. The chief contention of the | men is that their unions should be recog- nized, and over Eastern Canada they ask | an increase of wages, the same as has | been granted in British Columbia. The | conference continued on Thursday morn- | ing, but in the afternoon a letter w.ich was sent by the committee to the presi- dent caused a suspension of the meeting. | President Shaughnessy replied that the | company had no answer to make. Later in the evening the order was issued for the strike and to-day is being eirculated. A dispatch from Montreal this evening says that another conference is being | Held, but what is being done is not re- lated. How far the strike will extend is a question about which grave concern is | felt. The trackmen are well organized | and have a good deal of funds, and their | members say that the other organizations of the road will certainly see them | through. The trackmen Include section | gangs and, especially in the West, the | ridge construction crews are large. !

Slips From the Drydock and Capsizes With Many Men Aboard. i i © NEW YORK, June 4.—While ted States transport Ingalls was > bal= ance drydock at the Erie Ba South Brooklyn, this afternoon, where she was abcut to undergo extensive rey p-o- suddenly slipped from the blocks - sized. One man is known to h en killed and many injured. There were -about 240 carpenters chinists and other laborers at work vessel and dock at the time. It posed that the vessel was thrown an even keel by ballast improper or by the shifting of the blocks on she rested, causing her to list to star- boaré and driving the ~ sheering beams through the rotten walls of the old float- ng drydock in which she was cradied. Besides the mechanics and other workmen who crowded the vessel and dock, prepar- ing her for a voyage to Manila, about thirty Itallan laborers are supposed to have heen in the hold of the ship, em- ployed in shifting pigiron ballast. Whils the workmen were trying to escape the dock itself, overbalanced by the weight of the ship, turned on its side and sank in fifty feet of water. A number of the men were borne down into the water and jammed under and beneath. the wreckage which rose to the surface. How many were caught could not be Ilearned to- night. Martin Anderson, a painter, was caught under the descending side of the ship and killed outright. Others were dragged out of the water badly injured or half drowned and hurried to the _hospitals. Added to the horrors of to-night was the uncertainty of the fate of the men in the vessel's hold. Some managed to get to the deck and leaped into the water as the vessel was sinking, but it is feared that the majority were drowned. The vessel went into the dock at 11:30 this morning and about $80,000 was to have been expended on her repairs. The dock in which she was placed was a very old one, having been constructed over fifty years ago. An attempt was made to close the gate at the time of the acct- dent, but was unsuccesstul. No one could he found to-night who could give any estimate of the amount of damage the disaster had entailed. A vivid description of the accident was given by Second Officer Grady of the | Quebec line steamship Media, lying in the drydock to the west of the Ingalls. He saw the collapse from the deck of his own vessel. “I was on the starboard side of our ship,” he said, “when I'heard a chorus of shouts from the drydock in which the Ingalls was lying, and I ran across. The trans- port had a heavy list to starboard and was rapidly increasing it. The big string- ers which extended from the side of the dock to the side of the vessel were buck- ling, and suddenly one of them broke and shot up into the air. ““Then one after another the props along her side.snapped, and she rose at the bow and settled astern a trifle as she came down on her side. The props which did not break were driven through the sides of the dock. ! “Men were climbing all over the ship and the air was full of groans, cries and screams. As the ship turned the gates of the drydeck flew open and the water came in with a rush. I could see the men climbing up the sloping deck of’ the trans- rt and trying to make the pert rails. Many of them jumped from the deck and into the water. The men who were work- ing on the staging on the port side were raised up bv the vessel as she went over. Just before the end I saw some men rusa up the companion way to the deck, } “The water rushed into the dock ‘aja seemed to right the ship for a second, and then the dock went over this and sank with a roar of water. As it went down with the vessel inside. many men jumped into the water. The slip was soon ams rose wounded by being jammed between float- ing timbers.” Leaves Nearly Half a Million.
