NOVEMBER 2, 1901, LARGE BLAZE 1SAY MINISTER IN SANTA FE REPAIR SHOPS Fire at Point Richmond Causes Heavy Loss to Railroad. Two Men Badly Injured by Being Struck by Fall- ing Timbers. Flames Break Out in the Paint Room and for a Time Threaten to Destroy the Entire Yards. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Nov. 1. Fire at Point Richmond to-night de- stroyed the Santa Fe Railroad’s repair shops and considerable valuable machin- ery. For a time the flames threatened the roundhouse, immense oil tanks, store- house and other large structures at the railroad yards. The loss to the company will reach $125,000. During the progress of the fire two men were badly injured. Wil- liam Fitzgerald was severely burned about the arms and face and Frank Bai- ley was struck on the head by falling tim- bers. The loss is a serious one to the company, for nearly all of the valuable machinery of the repair shops has been made worthless, and several weeks must elapse before the company can replace it. Shortly after 6 o'clock this evening flames broke out in the paint room, at the rear of the shops adjoining the temper- ing furnace. Before an alarm was sound- ed the end of the big wooden structure was enveloped in flames, and the heavy black clouds of smoke pouring from the burning building indicated that the fire had a good hold upon the frame building and its highly inflammable contents. Toot- ing whistles summoned the workmen and yard employes to the scene. Scores of men aided the local Fire Department and the yard engines in the desperate fight that rv;ms made to prevent the spread of the re. Locomotives Saved After Hard Fight. ‘The building was a temporary structure, 60 by 120 feet, and was used to shelter the extensive repair and mechanical depart- ment until permanent brick bnildings could be erected. As the fire spread at- tention was turned to the roundhousc, only twenty-five feet away, where a dozen big ~locomotives were standing. These were run out as rapidly as possible and by desperate efforts were saved from the encroaching flames. The terrific heat retarded the fire-fighters, and the dozens of streams pumped from tanks by the switch and yard engines were unavailing to save any portion of the big repair shop. All that could be done was to pre- vent the fire from spreading to the other buildings, and particularly to the great oil tank, only a few hundred feet away, which_contained thousands of gallons of oil. Fortunately the evening was calm and the absence of high wind was a ma- terial factor in the fight to prevent the burning of.the immense oil storage tank. For an hour the danger was so great that none believed the yards would be saved. The adjacent shops and other buildings were saved, however, and the fire spent itself upon the repair shops and small lean-tos connected with them. It was during the hardest moments of the battle that Balley received his injuries. He had been working with a erew- close. to the burning shops when there was a sudden crash and down came a mass of half-burned timbers. He was struck by part of the wall and knocked senseless. His companions quickly dragged his away and he was placed under physi clans' care. Fitzgerald fell through a window while fire-fighting and was also struck by falling timbers. Repair Department Destroyed. All that was saved of the repair depart- ment was a boiler shed and a boiler. The origin of the fire is unknown. It is sup- pesed that benzine in the paint room be- came ignited by spontaneous combustion after the mechanics had left the place for the night. Although the furnace in the tempering department was close by it had not been in service for several days. Thai was not the source of trouble, so the rail- road men believe, Whether any of the machinery will be serviceable again cannot be ascertained until the metal cools and the debris from the burned building is hauled away. The railroad people are fearful that every- thing in the building will be a total loss, and will have to be sold for old junk. The machinery alone was valued at more than This loss, with that to the build- ing'and material 'on hand, will make the total close to $125,000.

Change in Diplomats a Probable Result of Carelessness. LISBON, Nov. 1.—Senor Hota Machadoe has been appointed Portuguese Minister at Washington. WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.—Shortly after the death of President McKinley the Vis- ccunt de Santo-Thyrso, Portuguese Min- ister to the United States, was summoned 0 Lisbon. According to M. Louis Agusto de Maura Pinto d’Azendo Taveria, at present Charge d’Affaires of Portugal in this city, the Viscount was not made aware of the purposes of his summons to the Portuguese capital. M. Taveria said to-day that further than this he knows nothing in regard to the report that the Viscount’s removal to Portugal had to do with a premature announcement of the death of President McKinley. ‘When asked whether an error of this sort from a diplomatic representative would be regarded as sufficient ground for his recall, M. Taveria says that it all de- pended on the temper of the Government in question. The State Department expressed incre- dulity and surprise when told of the ap- pointment of a new Minister from Portu- gal, and especially of the allegation that the change was made because of a pre- mature announcement of President Mc- Kinley's death by Banto-Thyrso. This was the first news that had reached here that such a change had been made. The officials were cuite sure that so far as the United States Government was con- cerned, it had not been embarrassed by any act of the former Minister, for the records of condolences received at the de- partment disclose the fact that Portugal conformed closely to the rules observed by the other nations of the world. BANK BURGLAR RICE CONVICTED OF MURDER Survivor of a Desperate Battle With Officers Involved in a Con- spiracy. MONTREAL, Nov. 1.—Frederic Rice was convicted here to-day on the charge of murdering Willlam Boyd. Rice is the only survivor of the notorious trio of Aurora bank burglars. The murder oc- curred on July 4 last. Boyd and another Constable were escorting the three pris- oners to the jail when some one threw two loaded revolvers into their carriage. In the desperate fight for liberty which followed, Constable Boyd was shot through the head. Counsel for the prisoner was grantedsa reserve case, because the jury found that he did not actually do the shooting. They held that he was guilty of murder, how- ever, on the ground that there was a conspiracy between himself and the two other prisoners, Jones and Rutledge. The other robbers are dead. Jones was killed in the fight in which Officer Boyd was killed, and Rutledge committed suicide. —_— NEGRO AND HIS PISTOL CAUSES TRIPLE TRAGEDY Louisiana Plantation the Scene of 2 Shooting, Ended by a Suicide.

Youths Garbed as Imps of Darkness Dedicate the Class Plug. ———e Special Dispatch to The Call. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Nov. 1L— The class of 1903 to-night dedicated its class emblem, the junior plug, with flery and vividly infernal ceremonies. The scene was laid in the lower regions and the third-year men, rigged out with black tights and hoods, horns and tails, made very realistic devils as they surged through the flames. The “plug ugly,” in accordance with the custom instituted by the class of 1902, was held on the gridiron, and the bleachers were packed with collegians and visitors ness the awful and imposing spectacle. The Plutonian fires were produced by a gencrous use of kerosene on piles of red- Wwood and old barrels, and the effect of the light on the black, queerly costumed figures was weird in the extreme. The lighting of the fires discovered Satan and some of the lesser devils lamenting over their fall from the king- dom of “Soph” to the kingdom of hell. Soon a large crowd of devils appeared, showing evidence, by their charred and disheveled appearance, of the fall into the lake of fire. They brought tidings of a land of bliss, far different from their pres- ent realm, in which annoyance by fresh- men, faculty committees and other griev- ances are unknown. “The devil of a long time ago” spoke up and sald that he knew the way to the land, but that first a sacrifice must be made. The spirits of the nether world chose the dog Cerberus for the victim, and after considerable hard work (with the bulldog actually used) he was led to the fire and offered up as a sacrafice. In preparing the dog for the ceremony (a stuffed duplicate of the bulldog being used) a scroll and junior plug were brought forth from his interior. The scroll contained the names of several well known students said to be on th ¢‘black list” of Chairman Green of the faculty committee on student affairs, the local hits worked in being exceedingly clever. After the discovery of the plug, Satan sent out the assembled Imps to precure similar ones for themselves, teliing them that only on presentation of such an emblem would they be allowed to enter the promised land. They all rushed forth and returned earrying their plugs. The juniors ended their ceremony by marching off the fleld, all joining in one of the numerous catchy songs. The cast of characters was as follows: Shameless, Swindling Satan....J. W. Cameron Black, Beilowing Beelzebub. W. Mad, Murderous -Moloch. Devil-of-a-Coward. Cerberus.

B Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Nov. L By the explosion of a quantity of flour at his bakery in San Leandro to-day M. R. Gotschang, the proprietor of the estab- lishment, was badly injured about the face, hands and shoulders. The furnace was wrecked by the explosion. Getschang is unable to account for the accident. The explosion occurred while Gotschang was heating the oven. To quicken the fire he used a.quantity of flour in addition to wood and coal. The flour was the re- mainder of a quantity that he had con- demned and some of it had been acc dentally dampened by water. He shoveled it into the furnace upon the wood and then stood in front of the furnace door. Suddenly there was a terrific explosion. Gotschang was hurled across the floor of the bakehouse. He did not lose conscious- ness, but soon realized that he was severely hurt. His shirt was torn into shreds and his face and the whole upper portion of his body was bleeding. In a few moments 3 crowd gathered, attracted by the explosion. When Gotschang made his appearance he was taken in charge by his friends and hurried to his home, where Dr. Tormey was summoned to at- tend him. Gotschang told the physiclan and others that he had put flour into the furnace, but could not understand why it should have caused an explosion.
