Several hundred in- RUMOR REVIVES BAIL PROJECT Oregon Short Line May Be Extended to San Francisco. Special Dispatch to The Call. REDDING, Nov. ‘The railroad building in Northern California, present | and prospective, has led to the revival of the plan to build that section of road which will close a gap and give Califor- nia another connecting road with the | BEast. The scheme accomplishes what the Oregon Midland, proposed but not built, would have done. The Burlington was | behind the Midland proposition, and it is | believed Eastern railroad interests are fostering the new plan that is being dis- | cussed. The great increase in lumber and cat- tle traffic is causing branches from the main line to push on in several direc- tions. One of the latest projects is for the extension of the branch from Mon- tague to Yreka, in the western portion of Siskiyou County. Thomas B. Walker, the lumber king, is expected to build a long branch through the eastern Siskiyou tim- | ber land. Simultaneously comes the report of prospective work that will have more than local importance, in that it will sup- ply a link for a transcontinental system. It is probable that one of the several Sis- kiyou County branches being extended to- ward the Oregon boundary in developing Northern California and Southern Oregon will form part of a trunk line down the coast to Eureka, to join the old Donahue road and reach San Francisco Bay at Ti- buron, while northward a connection will be made in Eastern Oregon with the Ore- gon Short Line to Utah. A natural and easy route for crossing | Siskiyou County from Shasta Valley | would be an extension of the Yreka Rail- road to Scott Vailey, then over Salmon Mountain to Salmon River, or down Scott River to the Klamath, as may be deemed upon survey to be the most practical way to cross the level coast valleys direct to Eureka, to which point the CaMfornia Northwestern or Donahue road is now | gradually extending. . A railroad from Eastern Oregon through Siskiyou County to Eureka on the coast | would make connections for a short and direct route to all Eastern Oregon, Wash- lumbia. Tt would form another’ route to | Portland and Seattle and connect with all | the continental roads of the north toward | the Atlantic. “ Archbishops Conclude the Session. | WASHINGTON, Nov. 22—The annual meeting of the Archbishops of the United States, which has been in session at the Catholic University for several days, ad- journed to-day.

Haddon, the English. ethnologist, and Mr. ‘Walter Damrosch, the composer, spoke before the students of the University of California this morniug at the bi-weekly meeting held in Harmon gymnasium. An unusually large crowd was in attendance, as mauy visitors tocok advantage of the meeting to hear and see the two promi- nent men. President Wheeler presided and introduced the speakers. In presenting Mr. Damrosch, President ‘Wheeler sald: “We ought to have more music here; we ought to have a depart- ment of music in the university.” Mr. Damrosch prefaced his remarks by giving a humorous description of the knowledge California held of the nvera%e New Yorker, who believes this State fo be a place “‘where the haughty Spanish don lives in proud seclusion, his daughter occasionally flirting with an American cowboy, who is a Harvard graduate.” Mr. Damrosch spoke particularly of mu- sic, saying: “In this country. uifortunately, mucic has been relegated to women alone. Tue old feeling that musi: is effeminate has not been overcome, bvt I hope the time will come when it wlll be studied by every man as a daily necessity. Every man should studx some instrument—not only the banjo. s the advance guard of civilization its ‘plunk plunk’ is cheerfui, but there are nobler instruments in the reach of all. To get perfect rest we should have a change of occupation, and there is nothing so restful to the lawyer, the doctor or the merchant after office hours as to commune with this great art of music. “You have here a great school of learn- ing, the foundation cf that happiness which knowledge brings. I hope the dayv is not far distant when California wiil have a chair of music properly endowed and this university become a center of musical study. Why not have the great musiclans come here as well as else- ‘where?”’ Dr. ‘Haddon also gave an interesting description of student life at Cambridge, England. @ iviviveiviileiiieleiiideiiiieeh @ DEATH'S LT MAY INGREASE TELLURIDE, Colo., Nov. 22.—The work of recovering the bodies of the victims of the disaster in the Smuggler-Union mine progressed slowly until at 11 o’clock to-day, sixty hours after the breaking out of the fire at the mouth of the Bullion tunnel, the last body was brought to the surface. It was that of John Nevala and was found in one of the stopes of the seventh level. The death list now numbers twenty- five, the brave engineer who sacrificed himself in an effort'to rescue his com- rades having died this afternoon. He never regained consciousness after being taken from the mine, and was only kept alive so long by the most arduous work of the physicians in attendance. The re- vised list of dead is as follows: August Kaauter, Finlander, family living at Telluride; Charles Macki, wifa living in_Telluride; Thorwald Torkelson, wife in Norway; William Merriweath-r, wife and family at North Fork; John Nevala, wife and family in Telluride; Alik Fillman, wife living in Telluride; Iva Sundstrom, wife and family in Silver Plume; Battisto Oberto, Antone Ausel, John Rassori, Eloi Bersago, Joseph Ber- sago, Emil Dahl, James Nelson, John Ahle, Matt Stark, ~Aiexander Barkley, John Peterson, William Jones, William Graham, Frank Zadra, Mark Zadra, Gus Sundborg, Allen Hendrickson, Hugh J. O’'Nefll. ¥xcept those indicated all were single men so far as is known. All in the mine at the time of the fire are now accountcd for, and at noon th. search for bodies was practically abandoned. There is yet a possibility that others may be found in stopes not yet reacked, but this is not thought probable, for the day shift did rot have time to reach any distant stopes before the alarm of fire was given. The exploration of the ninth level was completed to-day, but no bodies were found. The workings are not yet suffi- clently free from gas to make it entirely safe to explore all parts of them. The responsibility for the disaster has not yet been fixed and no one at Tellu- ride ‘is being blamed. The Coroner has held an inquest over the bodies at the Morgue and several of them have been sent to relatives in various parts of the State. The citizens to-day completed ar- rangements to bury the others with hon- ors to-morrow afternoon. All places of business will close at the request of the Mayor. The services will be held in the theater and all the ministers of the city will take P" . It is said that the company will close its mine for about thirty days, during which time the workings which were damaged to the extent of more than $50,000 will be repaired and will then re- open with a force of between 700 and 1000 men. Y affairs and who will have an active part in the evening’s success are Miss Annie ‘Wenig, Miss Florence Lyster, Miss Lizzie Lyster and Miss Modena Hardin. As a token of esteem and regard for her efforts as the moving spirit in the parlor's organization, Mrs. Julla W. Downey has been selected as the floor directress and leader of the ball. It was mainly through her energy that the Verona Parlor was formed last summer. Not only were the reqr isite thirty charter members secured, DISPUTE GOES T0 ARBITRATORS Trouble Among Great Fair People to Be Adjusted. ST. LOUIS, Nov. 22.—A final effort was made to-day to adjust the dispute be- tween the World's Fair National Commis- sion and the Louisiana Purchase BExposi- tion Company as to which body should have authority over foreign exhibitors, but without result, and the matter will now" go to arbitrators under the act of Congress providing for the commission. The board of arbitration will consist of two members of the National Commission and a like number from the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company. Should they fail to come to an agreement a fifth nrhi’trnwr will be appointed by the Secre- tary of the Treasury. - Rules and regulations adopted by the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Compavuy for the government of exhibitors had been presented to the National Commission for ratification. The National Commissivn made some amendments which the local company refused to accede to and thus the matter stands. At the meeting of the National Commission a statement was authorized. It is in part as follows: The matter in dispute between the Exposition Company and the National Commission grows out of a difference of opinion as to the gon- struction of the act of Congress under which this commission was appointed and section 4 of the act. Section 4 provides for a board of arbitration, to whom-all matters of difference arising between the commission and company, concerning the administration, management or general supervision of the exposition, including all matters of difference arising out of the power given by the act to the company or to the Natlonal Commission to modify or approve any act of the other of the two bodies, shal] be referred for determination. The decision of this board shall be final in all matters present- ed to it for consideration and determination, 50 the act provides. The commission, under claim of authority drawn from the provisions of the act generally and eepecially from the eection quoted, made a modification of the rules reading as follows: “'Should disagreement arise from the Expo- sitior Company and the representative of any government, state, territory or district, such representative shall have the privilege under such rules of procedure as the National Com- mission may from time to time promulgate of referring the matter in disagreement between such representatives and the company to the Natlonal Corimission for considergtion and ad- Jjustment with the company.’” To this modification the company excepted. The commission insisted upon the modificatipn and hence the subject in disagreement goes to arbitration under the act. Ex-Senator John M. Thurston of Ne- braska and ex-Congressman John M. Al- len of Mississippl have been appointed members of the board of arbitration on behalf of the National Commission. The names of the local members have rot vet been made public. Demand Coin of Kerr. FRESNO, Nov. 22—A formal demand was made of County Recorder James M. Kerr by the Board of Supervisors this afternoon for $1000, the remainder of the shortage of $1300 shown by the Record- er's books. Attorney Welch, acting for Kerr, said to the board that he had the $1000 in his possession, but requested an extension of time to enable him to in- vestigate the law relating to the reten- tion of miners' fees by County Clerks be- fore complying with the board's demand. He was granted an extension until to- morrow morning. b Money Needed for a Legation. WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.—There is mno danger that the United States Legation at Peking will be evicted by the Koreans.

INDIANG NEED BETTER HOMES Commiss‘ioner JonesSug- gests Solution of a Problem. ——— WASHINGTON, Nov. 2—A policy which, it is contended, will settle the en- tire Indian question within a generation, is announced by Commissioner of Indian Affairs Willlam Jones in his annual re- port, made public to-day. His plan is to glve the Indian an opportunity for self- support, the same protection of his per- son and property as is given others, throw, him on his own resources and to enforce on him the realization of the dignity of labor and the importance of building and maintaining a home for himself. Jones says that at the outset the Indian must have aid and instruction, and necessaries doubtless will have to be furnished him until his labor becomes productive. Until the Indian has become a part of the com- munity in which he lives, day schools, the Commissioner says, should be established at convenient places, where “the Indian may learn enough for ordinary business transactions. The key to the whole situation, the Commissioner suggests, is the home. The larger and more powerful tribes, he adds, are located in an arid region, on unpro- ductive reservations, often in a rigorous climate, where there is no chance to make even a living. In these cases some- thing should be done quickly toward placing such Indians in a position where they can support themselves. Commissioner Jones says the cutting off of rations from all Indians except those who are incapacitated from earning sup- port, has had very gratifying results, and if folowed up, will ultimately lead to the abolition of the reservation and the ab- sorption of the Indian into our body poli- tic. He makes the statement that the present Indian educational system, taken as a whole, is not calgulated to produce the results that were anticipated so hope- fully, and may be added to the obstacles to independence and self-support, under which class Jones had placed in- discriminate issue of rations, pe- riodical distribution of large sums of money and the general leasing of allotments. In the last thirty-three years, the report says, over $240,000.000 has been spent on an Indian population not exceeding 180,000. Notwithstanding this the Indian is still on his reservation, being fed; money is still being paid him, he is still dependent on the Government for existence, and he is “little, if any, nearer the goal of independence than he was thirty years ago, and if the present policy is continued he could get little if any nearer in thirty years to come.” Well-Known Business Man Dies. OAKLAND, Nov. 22.—Seth Clisby, a well-known warehouseman, doing busi- ness in San Francisco, died this morning at his late residence, 1045 Fourteenth street. He will be buried at 2 o’clock Sun- day afterncon from the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Charles F. Allardt, 1117 Linden street. Deceased came to Oakland over thirty years ago and was highly respected in the community. He was a native of Nan- tucket, Mass., and 63 years of age. He leaves a wife, a son, S. W.

Club Dues and Clothes Are All Furnished by His Second Wife. —_— Oakland Office San Francisco Call, % 1118 Broadway, Nov. 22. Upon the plea that he is absolutely pen- niless, O. A. Bernard, a San Franecisco clcbman and society devotee, was purged to-day of contempt for failing to pay $2% quarterly to Lily M. Bernard, his former wife, for the support of their minor child. Judge Ellsworth, before whom the matter was heard, was forced to issue an order vacating the citation after listening to the defendant’s story of impecuniosity, though expressing his regret that circumstances willed not otherwise. It is fourteen years since the Bernards were divorced by the Alameda County courts. Mrs. Bernard secured a decree on her showing of desertion by the defend- ant. Two months after the divorce was granted the child, who IS the instigation of the present controversy, was born. Later the mother secured an order of the court directing that Bernard be com- pelled to pay her 325 every three months for the support of the chiid. Bernard paild the installments of ali- mony regularly for twelve years, until April, 1839, when he suddenly refused to remit any more money and has since falled to comply with the order of the court. Mrs. Bernard sued for a citation in May last, when the payments had lapsed so that the total amount owing was $250, asking that Bernard be com- pelled to appear in court and give rea- Sons for his delinquencies, the Jocument having been made returnable to-day. Bernard Files Affidavit. In answer to the citation Bernard filed an affidavit previous to the taking of testi- mony to-day, in which he says that he had paid the alimony stipend for twelve years out of his separate property up to June, 1897, since which time the property has become exhausted and he is rendered un- able to _comply with the order of the court. In a previous affidavit Bernard said that his child, having attained the age of 14 years and is hence able to earn a Living, he is entitled to a portion of his earnings, but that he expressly waives them in favor of his former wife. ‘When the case was called this morning Bernard was not in the courtroom. Judge Ellsworth inquired for him, and Attorney McPike informed the court that it was tnrecessary for him to appear. Attorney Ames, for the plaintiff, however, differed from Attorney McPike's contentions, and after a little skirmishing Bernard was vshered into the courtroom from the H- brary, where he had been in waiting. Replying to questions from Attorney McPike, Bernarc sald trat he was abse- lutely penniless—that only collateral he had in the world was the ferry ticket that would carry him Lack to San Fran cisco, 1urnished by his second wife. “Where did you get the money to buy the ferry ticket with?" asked Attorney Ames, for Mrs. Bernard. “My wife gave me th: money.” “Does your wife give vou money to buy - things with?" “Yes; all I get I receive from her.” “Have you ary occupaiion?” Manages Wife’s Affairs. “I manage my wife's affairs and she pays all my expenses.” “Pays your dues in Club?” . *“Yes." “Haven't you a watch?” “No, I haven't any watch or jewelry of any kind.” “Who pays for your ineals and carfara when you are managing your wife’'s af- fairs?"’ “My wife.” “Buys your clothing™" “Yes; all of it.” “Why don’t you pay for the support of your_ child?" “Well, I got tired of doing that; I sup- ported it _for twelve years and don’t see why I should keep on doing so. I haven't seen the chill but once or twice since it was born. When I used to call to see him Mrs. Bernard’'s people used to discourage and treat me so coldly that I didn’t go to see him an¥l more. If he has any_ love for his father he should call on him. He's no more to me now than any child I see on the street, and 1 wouldn’t recognize him if I saw him.”™ As all of Bernard’s unswers tended to show that he is without means of his own, Judge Ellsworth admitted when ths matter was submitted that he could do n(thlng but dismiss the citation, and he so ordered. the Bohemian Licensed to Marry.
