MAY B VCTIM | FAILS TO PROBE OF BAY DISASTER | MURDER MYSTERY Miss Josephine Smith Is Missing From San Rafael. Friends Fear That She Per- ished in the Ferry-boat Collision. Special Dispatch to- The Call. SAN RAFAEL, Dec. 18.—The name of another victim may be added to the list of those who met death in the collision of the ferry-boats San Rafael and Sausa- lito. Miss Josephine Smith of this cily has been missing since the collision. All of her effects are at her home here and no word has come from her. Miss Smith has resided here a year. She was a Seventh Day Adventist and had been treating a number of persons here for rheumatism. About four days before the accident she went to San Francisco for a visit of a few days. No one here knows whom she intended vis- iting. Robert Jones, with whose family she lived in this city, believes that Miss Smith was lost on the San Rafael. This view is shared by Mrs. Mary Lewis, with whom Miss Smith previously boarded. Mrs. Lewis, who was a patient of the missing woman, says that Miss Smith intended returning on the night of the collision. Mrs. Lewis can account for her disappearance on no oth ground than that she perished in the“accident. She says that the lapse of more than two during which time 'no word has been received, confirms the fears aroused soon after the accident. fofeloofofeofoofeefofefetefefeieiofoink @ WAR IN UNION LABOR PARTY, Continued From Page One. in San Jose.

It seems hardly possible for the Labor party to get in without making alliance with one faction or the other, but Parry, guided by Mayor-elect Schmitz, may find an opening. Chapter of Inside History.

Then the propo- sition was renewed to the Mayor-elect | that they would be satisfied with three appointments—one_for the Fire Commi: sion, one for the Board of Public Works and one for the Election Commission. They went so far as to name the men whose appointment they desired. Meanwhile the defeated candidates were ppealing for recognition. They were in- | sisting that they carried the banner of the party in the battle and went to de- feat with honor. and decided that they would be satisfied to them—one Fire Commissioner, one Election Commis- | sioner, one Police Commissioner and one member_of the Board of Public Works. When the four were agreed upon every defeated candidate whose choice was not embraced in_the list selected began an agitation on his own account for patron- age. #he Mayor-elect having only elght com- missioners to appoint the appeal was em- barrassing. As one of the eight must be an artist and another a physician he had practically only six remaining.

Failed to Secure Warrants. The Buckley members of the commit- tee whose overthrow at Tuesday night's meeting rankles deep are doing their ut- most to regain their lost prestige. Tim- othy Ryan and J. warmest_supporters, called upon their at- torney, T. Carl Spelling, yvesterday morn- ing, and after a long conference the party proceeded to the office of the warrant and bond clerk at the Hall of Justice and de- manded two warrants—one for the arrest of C. Aubertine, secretary of the commit- | tee, for the unlawful .conversion to his own use of property belonging to the committee and for the mutilation thereof, and the other to enable the officers to search Aubertine’s premises for the books and documents in his possession. Bond Clerk Peery considered the mat- ter and decided not to take action unti after mature reflection. He announce his belief that the complainants were not | entitled to the warrants in question, and Ryan and Lane were informed that the matter would be given careful considera- tion. No warrant was issued during the day, and the chances are excellent that none will be issued unless more valid rea- | f sons for that step are gned. Unable to secure what they wanted from Peery, the committeemen visited the office of District Attorney Byington and asked that he take some steps in the premises. action, claiming that he lacked jurisdic. tion. 'He hinted that the minority com- mittee had little legal standing thus far, and that if it had a complaint the proper body to adjust the same was the execu- tive committee itself. ‘Will File Suit in Court. During the day a meeting’ of the dis- satisfied members of the executive com- mittee was held in Attorney Spelling’s office, and it was decided to take the mat- ter into court to-day. The precise nature of .ae proceedings to be had was not di- vulged, but the impression prevails that a writ of injunction will be applied for in order that the regularity of the act of the Parry faction in seceding from the main body might be determined. With regard to the filing «of the complaint to- day Attorney Spelling said: There can be no question that the action taken at the meeting Tuesday evening by the Parry faction Is illegal, and that the books and papers of the committee are improperly in the hands of Aubertine.

HARPER & BROTHERS Mey Yo« Nevada County’s Grand Jury Returns No Indictments. Is Not Quite Certain That Joseph Griffiths Died a Violent Death. Special Dispatch to The Cail. GRASS VALLEY, Dec. 18.—Nevada County’s Grand Jury has been unable to fathom the Griffiths murder mystery; in fact, if a portion of its report is permitted to stand alone the jury is not even pre- pared to say that murder was committed. After more than a week spent in investi- gation the Grand Jury ended its labors to-day without having brought in a true bill against any one in connection with the crime. Griffitns’ body was found at the bottom of an abandoned mine shaft months after he had disappeared from his home in this city. The shalt was a few teet back of tne house of Churles Allen, and the dis- covery of the body was due to informa- tion given for a monetary consideration by a relative of Allen. About the time oI the nnding of the remains Auen’s wife disappeared. She was captured a few days ago in San Jose, and said in inter- views in that city that her husband and Grifnths had been rivals for the love of another woman and that she had feared trouble between the two men. Saenft Getchell, while in San Jose to bring Mrs. Allen back to this city, declared that the two sons of Allen had given testimony strongly implicating their father. If there was not sufficient evidence upon which to base an indictment upon a murder charge, it was believed that the | Grand Jury would at least cause several persons to answer for perjury and for withholding testimony at the time of the Grifiiths inquest. This the investigating body has not done, and it has passed up to the Governor of the State the task of unraveling the mystery. { Despite the fact that Griffiths’ body was found hidden under a pile of refuse at the bottom of a mine shaft, and that during the autopsy a bullet was found n the body, the jury’s report contains this remarkable paragraph: We are unable to find a true bill, for the reason that it is impossible to determine as a fact that a crime has been committed. Further along in the report this contra- dictory statement is made: Nevertheless, under the suspiclous circum- stances surrounding the disappearance of Grif- fiths and the finding gf the body, we, the Nevada County offer appropriate rewards for the arrest and conviction of the murderers of sald Griffiths. The meeting in question was duly called by the proper officers and the legal officers were in | attendance when the meeting was called to | order. For a malority to leave the hall with | the records, go to another place and hold an , independent meeting at hich the books are mutilated, is clearly a violation of the rights of the other members of the committee who such a radical proceeding. These rights will be maintained at any cost. We contend that the law is on our side, and for that reason we will take the matter into court a3 speedily as possible. 1 was not in sym- pathy with the movement to secure a warrant for Aubertine’s arrest for unlawful conversion | of property and the failure of Ryan and Lane to secure a warrant did not surprise me. There is another way for the dissenting members of the committee to secure their rights and it will be adopted to-day. Mayor-Elect Is Satisfied. Mayor-elect Schmitz expresses himself as being well pleased with the coup d'etat of Tuesday evening, and with the remain- ing members of the committee he laughs at the efforts of the Buckley faction to regain their alleged rights. In speaking of the affair last night he said: I heard several davs ago that Buckley in- tended to capture the committee and make the Union Labor party a tail to his awakened po- litical rations. 1 went to the meeting | Tuesday evening with cne purpose in my mind, namely, to reconcile the warring factions, if that e possible. Chairman Delaney’s rul- ings convinced me that there was no hope of bringing about the desired reconcillation, and when he declded a certain motion carried when in fact seventeen voted against it to seven in fevor I decided to take a hand in the proceed- | ings. 1 then requested all who favored fair | play and harmony to follow me and we ad- journed to another hall across the street and Teorganized the committee. That's the story in_a nutshell 1 h e no fear of the results of the suit to be filed by the dissatisfled minority, or rather, the Buckley contingent in the committee. When the seventeen left the hall there was no ‘quorum with which to transact business. The contention that our act was illegal can- not in my judgment be sustained in court. It will be hard to overcome the principle th: the majority rules at all times in all assem: blies. Had the Buckley contingent a quorum lsft after the majority adjourned to another place the legal aspect of the situation might be different. As it Is we are on the right side, and that being the case the future of the Union Labor party is assured. The refusal of the Mayor-elect to pledge himself to appoint certain members of the Buckley wing to fat offices on- the various commissions is primarily respon- sible for the troubles in the committee. Delaney, the deposed chairman, has been making a strong fight for a place on the Board of Fire Commissioners, but Mayor- elect Schmitz refused to make any prom- ises to that end, and this accounts for Delaney’s attitude toward the Parry con- tingent. It is said seventeen applications ix offices have been filed with the -elect, most of these belng by mem- s of the executive committee of ths Jnion Labor party. Schmitz has posi- tively announced that he will favor all parties in making appointments, and that 1o party will be in a position to say that it owns him absolutely when it comes to filling the vacancles on the municipal oards after he assumes the dischar; his official functions. e District Club Indorses Parry. At a speclal meeting of the Twenty- eighth District Union Labor Club held last night at the Packers’ and Porters’ headquarters, 142% First street, the fol- lowing resolutions were adopted: Whereas, There belng some misunderstand- ing between some of the members of the County Committee, which we regret and de- plore; and whereas, J. S. Parry and the com- mittee of which he is chairman, having worked faithfully and honestly for the success of the Tnion Labor party, and as we desire harmony in the party, we hope all of the members of the committee will return to the origihal com- mittee and peace be restored; and be it Resolved, That we, the members of the Twenty-eighth District Union Labor Club, do indorse and recognize J. §. Parry as the chair- man of the County Committee of the Union Labor party, and as such we will recetve his instructions; and further be it Resolved, ' That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the County Committee and to the prest The best selling book in the United States, > Illustrated, | trial problems. COURT DISPUTES WITH ATTORNEY Repartee Enlivens the - Proceedings in Alturas. Lawyer Raker Meekly Dodges Contempt Proceedings by Apologizing. Special Dispatch to The Call. ALTURAS, Dec. 18.—Proceedings in the trial of James . Brown, the alleged Look8ut lyncher, lacked their usual vim and dash to-day, for only once did the court find it necessary to discipline an attorney for the defense. During the ex- amination of & witness this forenoon, Raker, for the defense, made one of his characteristic orations to the jury, detail- ing something that had not appeared in the evidence. Judge Harrington said that the attorney’s.word could not be taken, as he was not under oath. “My word is as good as yours any day,” was the retort of counsel. Raker was cited to show cause at 1::!)| o'clock why he should not be punished for contempt. After he and the court had argued the point at length, he apologized, The Judge did likewise, and the contempt | ruling was dismissed. District Attorney Bonner has now aligned himself squarely upon the side of the accused men, if his attitude before the Grand Jury may be taken as a crite- rion. Assistant Attorney General Post, representing the State, is endeavoring to | have the Grand Jury indict other sus- pected lynchers who have been impii- cated by testimony given by witnesses for the prosecution. In this he is op- posed by Bonner, who has urged the Grand Jury to return no more indict- ments. Bonner gives as an excuse for his course the belief that it would be impos- | sible to bring about the conviction of the | accused men. i To-day’s proceedings in the trial of Brown were limited to the cross-examina- tion of Robert Courtwright by the de- fense. Courtwright is the witness who saw Justice of the Peace Myers and others testing rope in a Lookout store on the day of the lynching. The entire dav was spent in an endeavor to entangle the witness, enlivened now and then by at- tacks upon his character by attorneys for | the defense. ‘Wrongfully Accused of Theft. SACRAMENTO, Dec. 18.—A spiritual- | istic medium styling himself as Sir Peter | Gordon, but who was known here several | years ago as Dr. Waite, when he was giv- | ing hypnotic exhibitions, was arrested a week ago on a charge of stealing $300 from Mrs. Belle Christie, an aged woman who sought his advice. The preliminary exam- ination of Gordon was to have taken place | in the city Justice’s court this morning. | When the case was called Mrs. Christie | took the witness stand and tearfully ex- | plained that she had found the money un- der a bed, where it had fallen. Gordon was discharged. He had been unable to give bail and spent a week in jail. © ittt il @ INDUSTRIAL DEPARTMENT FORMED Continued From Page One. at the conclusion of the executive session: “This committee shall be known as the Industrial Departmept of the National Civic Federation. he scope and province of this depart- ment shall be to do what may seem best to promote industrial peace; 'to be help- ful in establishing rightful relations be- tween employers and workers; by its good offices endeavor to obviate and prevent | strikes and lockouts; to aid in renewing | industrial relations where a rupture has occurred: | “That at all times representatives of | employers and workers, organized or | unorganized, should confer for the adjust- | ment of differences or disputes before an 2cute stage is reached, and thus avoid or | minimize the number of strikes or lock- outs. | “That mutual agreements as to condi- tions. urder which labor shall be per- formed should be encouraged, and that | when agreements are made the terms should be faithfully adhered to, both In letter and in spirit, by both parties. “This department, either as a whole or a sub-committee by it appointed, shall, when reauired, act as a forum to adjust | and decide upon questions at issue be- tween workers and their employers, pro- | vided in its opinion - the subject Is | one of sufficient importance.

There were no cabin passengers and | only three in the steerage. These latter were L. H, Whitehouse, William Hunins and G. S. Kean. Besides these there were forty-four Chinese in the steerage when the vessel left port, but nearly all of them left the vessel at the first Mexican port. The chances are that many of them are now back in San Francisco. The general impression in shipping cir- cles is that the San Blas was wrecked Tuesday night during a heavy fog. Cap- tain Cattarinich is known as one of the most careful navigators on the coast and the loss of his ship will probably be found to be an unavoidable accident. The San Blas was built by John Roach & Co., at Chester, Penn., in 1882. She was 2075 tons gross burden and 149 tons net. Her length was 283 feet, her beam 37 feet and her depth of hold 21 feet. She had no double bottom, so the cl ces of salving her are very slim. She will probably make a dot on the coast line showing where the Pagific Mail lost another vessel. ADVERTISEMENTS.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.—Late this afternoon, Admiral Schley, through his counsel, filed with the Secretary of the Navy his bill of exceptions to the majority findings of the court of inquiry and also a letter asking to be allowed to be heard in connection with the objections to be filed by attorneys for Admiral Sampson to the individual opinion of Admiral Dewey. This action was taken after Ray- nor, Teague and Captain Parker of coun- sel had held a consultation throughout the day with their client. Secretary Long almost immediately after the receipt of the communication called Judge Advocate Lemly and the solicitor for the department, Hanna, into conference. At its conclusion the Secre- tary said he had no statement to make re- garding any action that he might take in the premises. however, indicated to Teague, through the judge advocate, that he would not hear an oral argument by Raynor-regarding Admiral Sampson’s pro- test, but that he would receive a written statement. It was expected that counsel for Admiral Sampson would file their ob- jections to the findings of Admiral Dewey in the case to-day, but it is now stated that such objections may not be offered before Friday. Objects to Approval. Schley’s bill of exceptions declares that the applicant ‘“‘objects to the approval of the findings of the court upon the ground that the opinion rendered and the report of facts made by the majority of the court are in conflict with the overwhelming weight of evidence and that the majority of the court, in their said opinion, have ignored the testimony of the applicant and of the whole of the applicant’s witnesses and all portions of the evidence given by witnesses for the Government which was favorable to the applicant and have thus deprived him of rights guaranteed to him by the laws of the land and the constitu- tion of the United States.” ‘Upon the grounds set forth the ap- plicant “respectfully prays that approval of the opinion of the majority of said court of inquiry be withheld and that said opinion be disapproved and that he may be afforded the opportunity to have the testimony on record of himself and his witnesses properly considered and passed upon and that the proceedings be remitted to the court for that purpose and that he be given such other and further relief as he is entitled to in the premises.” The letter asking rmission to argue against the protest of Admiral Sampson's attorneys follows: 1. In regard to the reported of Rear Admiral W. T. Sampson, U. ., by his counsel, to file, with your consent, a protest against vour approval of that portion of the dissenting opinion of Admiral George Dewey, U. 8. N., to the majority of the finding of a court of inquiry recently held and before which 1 was the applicant, wherein the question of commandership of the American naval forces during the battle of Santlago is decided in favor of Commodore W.

Very respectfully, . 8. SCHLEY, Rear Admiral, U. S, N.. retired. ISIDOR RAYNOR, JAMES PARKER, Counsel for the applicant before said court of inquiry. Deprived of Legal Rights. Commenting on to-day’s action Raynor said: The objections that we have filed rest upon the ground that Admiral Schley has been de- prived of his rights as guaranteed to him by the law of, the land and the constitution of his land. We claim that the whole of the test] mony in favor of the admiral, including his own and the testimony of all of his witnesses, bas been rejected by the majority of the court and not even considered or passed upon. Such a method of procedure would not be permitted to stand for a moment before any tribunal gov- erned by any principle of common law or com- mon justice. The ad was on the stand for about four days and not a word that he ut- tered and not a solemn assertion that he made under the sanction of his oath has been ad- verted to by the majority of the court. Such a method of disposing of a case is unparalleled in the annals of civil or of criminal law. The greatest malefactor in the land under the con- stitution is entitled to have his evidence con- sidered and upon. We shall, therefore, 4vail oursiives of o¥iny femgs that we heve to impeach this appalling verdict. Flees With Employers’ Funds. PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. 18—It was learned here “this morning that Lee B.
