FIRE IN GONTROL OF GOAL MINES Flames Yet Unchecked in the Cumberland Oollieries. Bodies of Three Men Lie Un- buried in One of the Drifts. —_— Epectal Dispetch to The Call. TACOMA, Aug. 28—The fire which is burning in the Cumberland coal mines on the west coast of Vancouver Island proves to be & worse calamity than has been sup- posed heretofore. Mining experts esti- mate it will be at least two years before the fire ean be fully extinguished and the mine cleaned out and again placed in complete working order. The conflagration broke out several weeks ago in the underground workings to the right of the main shaft, and is be- lieved to have been started by a small as explosion in some unused drifts. John ichol and two Chinese were in_that por- tion of the mine at the time. Nichol was an electriclan and had gone there to superintend the taking up of some copper ires that were no longer needed in that art of the mine. No trace of the three as since been found. They perished by either the explosion or the fire that followed. When first noticed by workmen below, the fire was consuming the oily shales and assuming proportions that threatened mine. The miners ed out and arrangements were made to flood the entire workings. For several days past 3000 gallons of water have been poured into the burning mine every min- ute. Even at this rate it will take nearly & month to fill the mine and extinguish the fire. Immense pumps must then be placed in operation and the water slowly pumped out. DETAIL FOR THE COURT TO TRY CAPTAIN BRUCE Officers of the Second Infantry Will Weigh Evidence Against the Accused. FRESNO, Aug. 28.—The date of the courtmartial of Captain Willlam Bruce of Stockton, formerly of Company B, N. G. C,, has been set for October 1, in Stock- ton. Bruce, it will be remembered, was found short in his company's accounts and was placed under military arrest. Bruce was formerly City Assessor in Stockton. The order for the courtmartial was issued to-day by General Muller of the Third Brigade, and the detail for the court consists of officers of the Second Infantry, in order that the court may be absolutely impartial. The personnel of the court is as follows: Colonel H. I. Sey- mour, Major Marion Pirkey, Major W. W. Greer. Major P. F. Simonds, Captain Joseph A. Blair, quartermaster; Captain Lon Bond, Company A; Captain George H. Voss, Company D, all of the Second Infantry, and Major W. D.

IMPOSES HEAVY FINE UPON POLICEMAN KNIGHT Judge Cabaniss Fixes the Penalty for Battery Upon James Maddi- son at $40. ‘When the case of Policeman O. H. Knight, convicted of battery upon James Maddison, a striking marine fireman, was called in Judge Cabaniss’ court yesterday morning the Judge sald he would deny the motion of the defendant for a new trial. He said he had carefully read the decision quoted by Attorney Joseph Coffey and he could not see that it had any application | to the present case. He then proceeded | to pass sentence upon the defendant. He | said: The court in this matter, as in all others, is desirous of imposing a punishment which, in view of all the circumstances and conditions surrounding the transaction, will, according t> the court’s view, meet the demands of justice, and I have therefore given it careful considera- tion—considered it in every possible light—and feel in a measure that there some circum- stances which ought to be taken into considera- tion on each side. The contention put forth here that an offi- cer is vested with what has been termed by his counsel “‘judicial power” or “‘discretion”— ““judicial discretion,” I cannot indorse. T think that « police officer is essentially a and as such is vested by the law with ministerial powers and with min- isterial powers only. The very theory on which our- government rests (and it runs throughout all the various subdivisions of the Federal Government) Is that this government —whether you consider it federally, with ref- erence to State government or with reference to local government—is a government of co- ordinate powers—the executive, legislative and the judicial—and that applies, as I have al- ready intimated, just as much to the subdi- vision of a locdl government or a municipal government, commonly 50 termed, as to any other. Now, while I have said this much, it is but fair also to say that though a police officer is never vested with judicial authority there are times when he must exercise a dis- cretion, a discretion which must be exercised in order to enable him to determine just what course of action is to be taken by him in any emergency arising in the line of his min- isterial or executive duties, and as I inti- mated when this matter was first decided it is but right in every case to consider all the sur- roundings, particularly where the case is that of the exercise of undue power by an afficer, police, Sheriff or any other. Now I have care- fully considered it in that light, and on.the other hand 1 cannot but think that the line of demarkation which defines the dutles of a police officer in & situation such as was pre- sented at the wharf is quite clearly defined, and having found that line overstepped I must accordingly exercise my judgment. 1 want to say, too, because it wi larly drawn to my attention yes Mr. Foote in hie argument, that I cannot agree with him altogether, at least in the view that the punishment to imposed upon this de- fendant is to be fixed not alone with reference to his own act but also with reference to transactions or acts following it, or_sald to have followed it—acts whereof "I have no knowledge either judicially or otherwise—that is, no knowledge in a legal sense. Mr. Foote ry frankly announced yesterday that it had been his intention at the time of the imposi- tion of sentence herein to suggest that. the court deal very leniently with this defendant, that he was deterred from pursuing that course and led to pursue the very contrary course, namely, that of urging upon the court the pecessily and the importance of inflicting a very severe punishment, by reason of facts, or alleged facts, subsequéntly transpiring. My attention was drawn by him to the fact, as stated, that the purpose of punishment. is two fold: First, to inflict punishment upon articu- g < ells fes" d Children’s Hose 5c a pailr: B ee ™ Limen " Skirts, S5c; Men's Fine Dress Ebt: worth $1, for 40c, at 105 Fifth street. & 4 PRINTING.

ICES-JUDD CO., < b 4 First Street, San Francisco an offender and mext to take into view the likelihood of thereby deterring other persons from offending. That is true, but to apply the rule suggested yesterday by Mr. Foote, namely, to hold a man found gullty for committing an offense at one time responsible for something said or done, or alleged to have said or done, subsequently by another person would savor, it semes to me, In’ spirit and essence at least, if not otherwise, of an ex post facto proceeding. It would seem to make 4.oomis, from Alcatraz Landing, carrying ant situated as this défendant is, to some ex- | tent at least, suffer vicariously. Now I have stated perhaps too much at length and somewhat at large, as best I could, the thoughts that have moved me in this ma ter with reference to the sentence, and the sen- tence is that the defendant pay a fine of $40, and in default of payment of said fine that said defendant be imprisoned in the County Jail of the city and county of San Francisco, State of California, until the said fine is paid, not exceeding twenty days, the same being at the rate of one day for each §2 of sald fine re- maining unpaid. Attorney Coffey at once gave notice of appeal and the Judge then addressed him- self to Attorney Lermen, one of the special prosecutors. He said that it was | the custom of special prosecutors to be- come lukewarm in cases when appealed, as they left the work to the District At- torney’s office. “In" this instance,” sald the Judge, “owing to the fact that the District At- torney’s office is not famillar witn the material facts in the case, not having been actively engaged in its prosecution, I would suggest, Mr. Lermen, that you and Mr. Foote see to the preparing of the statement on appeal.” Mr. Lermen as- sured him that he would do s As Attorney Coffey leaving the courtroom with Knight, ex-United States District Attorney H.

You should never have been convicted. You are a martyr.” —— MANY SHIPS ARRIVE WITH HEAVY CARGOES Work Is Brisk on Water Front, Par- ticularly at the Oceanic Steam- ship Company Dock. The fleet of vessels in the harbor was greatly increased yesterday by the arriv- al of a number of ships from various parts of the world. The vessels were all heavily loaded. There were also a number of ves- sels that cleared, bound for European, island and coast ports. The vessels that arrived were: Steamer 6200 barrels of oil; Pomona from Eureka, with passengers and general merchan- dise; French bark Marechal de Turenne, from Hamburg, with 15,000 casks of ce- ment; American bark S. G. Wilder, from Honoluiu, with §776 bags of sugar; steam- er Olympic, from Grays Harbor, with 914,- 000 feet of lumber; German ship Melpo- mene, in ballast, from Callao; schooner Transit, from Eureka, with 550,000 feet of lumber; schooner W. H. Marston, from Honolulu, with 3796 bags of sugar; barge Santa Paula, with oil from Ventura; Brit- ish bark Isabel Browne, in _ballast from Caldera; American bark 'W. B. Flint, with sugar, from Kahului, and the steamer Sa- moa, with bark, from Browns Landing. The ships that cleared were: The Co- rona for San Pedro, Noyo for Eureka, Washtenaw for Tacoma, Gaelic for Hong- kong, Czarina for Seattle, Emilia Clampa for Queenstown, and the Cymbeline for Bt. Vincent, Considerable work was done on vessels at the various wharves along the front. At the dock of the Oceanic Steamship Company greater activity was displayed than at any part of the water front. The steamer Zealandia is being loaded there for a voyage to Honolulu and the freight is arriving so rapidly that dozens of teams are held outside the entrance to the dock awaliting a chance to unload. At the Howard-street dock the Palena and the Leelanaw are loading. Though a large number of men are employed on these two vessels, but iittle is being ac- complished toward getting them ready for sea. 4 Work was commenced on the Marion Chilcott and the British General yester- day for the first time since the commence- ment of the strike. Only a few men are at work on these vessels and the task of unloading them will not be accomplished for some time. The captains of the Brit- ish General and the John Cook requested the Harbor Commissioners yesterday to remit dock charges on their vessels during the continuance of the strike. The request was denied. At Beale-street whort the John Cook is receiving salmon from the Santa Clara. Coal is being taken from the Titania at Rosenfeld's bunkers and also from the Pleiades. Yesterday was the first day in some time that no men were sent to Port Costa. A number of the ships there are loaded and will be towed down in a day or two. The Imogene and the Accaran, having had full cargoes put aboard, will be brought_down to-day. The Progreso completed discharging yesterday afternoon. She will flrobably s?fl fu‘r ‘Tacoma to-day for another loaa of coal. COMMITTEE ARRANGES FOR THE LABOR PARADE Every Union in the County Will Be Represented in Grand Demon- stration.

Frank Waugh and Michael Tandy, strikers, who were arrested for disturb- ing the peace in front of the teamsters’ headquarters, appeared before Judge Ca- baniss vesterday and the cases were dis- missed. Daniel Goodwin and Fred Griffin, strikers, also appeared before the Judge on a charge of battery upon John Huston, a colored non-union stevedore, at Post and_Kearny streets. The case against Grifin was dismissed and Goodwin's case was continued till to-dlndv. The cases of James Masse and George @qallagher, striking marine firemen, who were charged with disturbing the peace on Monday, August 19, were dismissed by Judge Conlan yesterday. When the cases were called Clarence Gray, attorney for the defendants, offered to” produce fur- ther testimony, but the Judge said it was noL necessary,- since the' policemen who had made the arrests practically ad- mitted that there was no disturbance, as the men were only skylarking, although at first it was supposed there was a row. It Is for striking Masse on that occasion with a club that Captain Wittman will have to answer before Judge Cabaniss this morning. Walter Reed, a colored stevedore, who was arrested 'for discharging firearms Within the city limits Tuesday, appeared before Judge Fritz yesterday. He claim- ed that four strikers attacked him while ! he was going from the transport dock to a drug store and he fired the revolver in the air to intimidate them. As no one was present to prosecute, the Judge dis- missed the case. NON-UNION MACHINIST DISAPPEARS FROM HOME Police Think R. H. Forest Is Being Detained Somewhere by the Strikers, Information was received at the Morgue last night of the disappearance on Satur- day last of R. H. Forest, a non-union machinist living at 1137 Vallejo street. Mrs. Forest reported that her husband was employed at the Risdon Iron Works since the strike began, and that recently he received several anonymous letters, threatening him with serious injury if he did not desert his post. Forest ignored the threats, and on the evening stated he left his home for a walk and has not been seen since. The matter Las been referred to the police for investigation. The belief in Eollce circles is that Forest was captured y strikers and that he is being detained somewhere under lock and key. e COMMITTEES NAMED FOR LABOR Dg EXERCISES Arrangements for the mammoth parade of the labor organizations which will laks place Labor day are being rapidly com- pleted.

San Jose Physicians Commit Him to the Asylum at Agnews. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Aug. 28.—Is Bertle Wolsey Roberts the degenerate son of an aristo~ cratic family—the cousin of Lord Roberts, as he claims? is the question that is puz- zling the Sheriff’s office and the physi- cians who to-day committed him to the Agnews Insane Asylum. Nearly three weeks ago Roberts was taken into cus- tody for his queer behavior and it was be- lieved that when he had outlived the re- sults of recent debauchery he would be all right. He did not improve and it was to-day decided that he would fare better at_the asylum. Roberts is a typical Englishman, about six feet three inches in height and of rather slender build. He is about 30 years of age, and, were it not for the rather foolish’ appearance his face at times as- sumes, wouid be characterized as an ex- ceedingly handsome man. His beard, which has grown during his confinement, is brown, while his hair is of flaxen color. His features are patriclan and his hands and feet are small and well shaped. Alto- gether he is, apart from his clothing, the most _aristocratic looking tramp ever picked up on the Santa Clara County road. “Roberts claims to be a nephew of Lord Rcberts and says that his sister is Mrs. Daisy Talbot, wife of Major Talbot, who was stationed at Malta, in .he Mediter- rean.

Is Successful in the Face of Vexa- tious Obstacles. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Aug. 28.—Golden Gate Commandery is in high glee to- night. In the face of most vexatious ob- stacles and against the finest drill corrs of the United States it carred off the thi. i prize and received the trophy, a magnifl- cent center piece valued at $1300. The scenes at the drill and the award of the prizes were spirited and brilliant in spite of the heat that wilted marchers and spectators alike. California Commandery is also sharing in the joy, having won the fifth prize, a_punch bowl, awarded to the best mounted commandery. The drill contests were heid on Churchill Downs, on the Louisville Jockey Club track. No better parade ground could have been selected. The various com- manderies participating were supported by scores of home friends, while the gen- eral crowd numbered many thousands. Golden Gate was the last infantry corps to drill, having been preceded by the crack | St. Bernard Commandery of Chicago. Col- | orado Commandery of Denver, which cap- tured first prize, performed its evolutions with marvelous precision. The indications pointed_to victory on the part of the St, Bernards, but their commander omitied three orders, which took off thirty points. Golden Gate was hampered by heavy capes and chapeaux, the rule having been made that all corps should drill in full uniform. As Golden Gate had never be- fore drilled in capes and chapeaux its suc- cess is all the more gratifying. The headquarters of Colorado, Golden Gate and California commanderies, all at the Galt House, were thronged until long after midnight. 2 The most. striking spectacle of the day's drill, in_the eyes of the crowd, was'the mounted drill of California Commandery. With _glittering accouterments and lances the plumed knights swept down on coal-black Kentucky chargers and quite captured the fancy of the spectators. The prize, while fifth in the order announced, is really a flrslt %r'lze. :;s there was no ting mounted corps. °Fhis evening at the Horse Show Pavilion AWESOME GHOST RULES OVER HER Portuguese Girl Victim of a Remarkable Frenzy. Believes She Is Possessed by the Spirit of a Dead Murderer. g smm_mmunwmcm. SACRAMENTO, Aug. 28.—The down- river community of Freeport, the scene of the annual Holy Ghost festivals and the seat of a deeply religious sentiment by Portuguese, is greatly exercised over the case of a girl named Maria Careia. Up to three weeks ago Maria, who is 17 years old, was apparently In perfect health. Thereafter and up to the present she has undergone periods of a remarkabla frenzy, during which her language, utter- ed in strange tones, has borne out the idea that she was possessed of the spirit of a murderer, who was himself slain in Portugal twenty years ago by the brother of his victim and whose spirit, like that of Hamlet's father, was “‘doomed to walk the earth” for a certain period. The girl, while in this state, avers that the spirit’: time will be up in a few months, when it will leave her in peace again. She emerges smiling from these grewsome spells and is happy and rational, with no recollee- tion of her strange ordeal. The attacks have been quite numerous during the past three weeks, and the re- cital which she gives each time does not vary in any essential. Her relatives ars utterly at a loss to account for her re- markable behavior, and even the medical diagnosis of hysteria will not satisfy the Pcrtuguese community that the supernat- ural does not figure in her casé. In the Bee to-night Joseph Rodgers, for forty years a land-owner in the vicinity, declares his belief that the girl has been temporarily possessed by the spirit of the de\‘l?,o and other well-known citizens give equally free expression to their amaze- ment and the opinion that other than nat- ural causes must have influenced her con- dition. The family of the girl is of ex- cellent standing and the girl herself has been a devout churchgoer. CAPITALIST SUES FOR HEAVY DAMAGES Strife Between J. D. Tate and F. W. Fratt of Sacramento Breaks Out Anew. SACRAMENTO, Aug. 28.—The war which has raged between J. D. Tate and F. W. Fratt, both equally elderly citizens of Sacramento and both such extensive property owners that it would be some trouble to count their possessions, has been given a new impetus by a complaint filed by Tate to-day. It charges Fratt with defamation of character, and asks the court to award the plaintiff $20.070 damages. A tgw weeks ago Fratt had Tate ar- rested for having, as alleged, maliciously torn down a fence forming the division line between two lots which they own up- town. The case was fought with vigor on both sides, but the jury acquitted Tate of the charge. The glad hand of reconcili- ation was not passed, however, and Tato determined that it was up to him to make a move. This he has done in the case filed to-day, in which he particularizes that in assalling his reputation by having him arrested without due cause Fratt has made himself liable to the extent of $20,- 000. Besides this, Tate would like to have the court decree that Fratt should pay $70 to cover the cost of Tate’s appearance as a defendant in the lower court. Drowned Near Teller City. SEATTLE, Aug. 28.—Two men, stran- gers at Teller City, whose names were Twohy and Tobin, according to the Nome News of August 17, were drowned at a spit near Teller on August 10. The bodies of the men were found five miles west of Bering, the search having been inspired by the finding of an upturned boat. Both men were buried in Teller by the author- ities. @ it e e @ the prizes were awarded. Each of the cnmvpeung commanderies lined up and as the prizes were announced the victors marched forward and received the tropny at the hands of thirty of the fairest young women in Kentucky, who acted as spon- The enthusiasm was unbounded, but there was an added heartiness in _the cheers given to the Californians of both commanderies. California is unquestion- ably the most popular State in the Union judging by the comments heard in Loulsville. _The impression here is gener- al that Californians are all million- aires and their sumptuous entertain- ments and continuous receptions seem to confirm this idea. Baskets of fruit dis- tributed by California Commandery are seen by the hundred in every crowd and the gilded headquarters of Golden Gate is the Mecca of all' Knights Templar now in Louisville. To-morrow Golden Gate will keep open house from noon until 8. Thousands of cards have been requested by other com- manderies. The scene will be a brilliant one. On the following evening an enter- tainment is to be given under the auspices of California Commandery for the benefit of the Masonic Widows” and Orphans’ Home On Friday night and Saturday the California visitors will scatter, most of them intending to visit points further East before returning to the coast.
