T | MANAGUA, Nicaragua, July 2—Dr. | Russell Wilson of Milan, Ohio, captured near Bluefields with a member of a fili- Lustering expedition led by General Juan Pablo Reyes, will be gried by court- martial, the sentence for his immediate execution having been revoked. He is still confined at Bluefields. President Zelaya says that Dr. Wilson is seriously compromised with the revolutionists. It is not known whether interference of the State Department at Washington will save Dr. Wilson from the usually evitable death sentence when a filibuster is tried by court-martial, especially as Dr. Wilson has been recognized as having assisted in 1 in the revolution in the province of Nicaragua. CHINESE MISSION PROTECTS GIRL WANTED FOR LARCENY A warrant was issued yesterday for the arrest of a Chincse girl named Gnan Lam on the charge of stealing $600 and a quan- tty of valuable jewelry from Chang Buck Sun, a wholesale liquor dealer on Jackson street near Stockton. The com- ing witness is in a dying condition, d had to be brought to the Hall of Jus- tice by two attendants in order to swear to the complaint. In addition to the war- rant case it is alleged that the woman has en $1500 of Chang’s money through se- uring his deposit with a savings and loan association. Judge H. C. Dibble and Arthur Mack have been retained to prose- cute the case. The warrant was given to Detective Ed Gibson, and he ascertained that the girl was being harbored at the Presbyterian Chinese Mission on Sacramento street. (He was denied the privilege of seeing er, and has small hopes of securing her rrest unless the Police Department or- ers him to search the place. He has learned that it is the purpose of the mis- sion people to put the girl on board the steamer Nippon Maru, which will sail for China to-day, and once on board it will be impossible’to secure her. —_———— ORDERS COOK TO GIVE UP CASH REGISTER George Zunah, a cook at the Dewey restaurant, 1649 Devisadero street, was alarmed by a customer early yesterday morning, who after gladdening his heart with doughnuts and coffee produced a revolver with ominous threats in case a demand for the emptying in his favor of the till was not instantly complied with George took fright at the sight of the weapon and willingly handed the con- The fellow wore a military cap bearing the number “18” and the words *“Light Battery.” George gave the police infor- mation of the occurrence and yesterday inquiries were instituted at the Presidio.

Stevenson deny that their daughter Letitia is engaged to Captain Richmond P. Hobson, citizens of loomington comment upon the repeated visits of the captain here as a guest of the Steversons, and insist that a wed- ding may be looked for in due season. It is said that within six months Captain Hobson has paid fully a dozen visits to | Bloomington ‘and the number of calls— |in some instances the length of visits— | lend strength to the belief In his engage- | ment to Miss Stevenson. An incident which occurred yesterday lends Interest to the gossip. Captain Hob- |son and Miss Stevenson were strolling | through the residence district of the clty when they noticed a party of children rourning the plight of a young robin 1 which had fallen from its nest In a maple | tree. Captain Hobson called for a small | basket and, placing the bird therein, swung the basket over his arm and then clambered up the tree with the ease and dexterity of a veteran sallor and replaced the bird in its nest, im MURDERED MAN’S BODY- | FOUND IN COTTONWOOD REDDING, July 23.—Murder has been | committed within the limits of the town | of Cottonwood and there is no clew to the assassin. Walter M. Sullivan, a native of Maine and recently from New Orleans, was found lying beside the railroad track, with his head crushed and his pockets ri- fled. At the end of the Coroner's inquest the verdict was that Sullivan met with foul play at the hands of persons un- known. The body was brought to this city and will be buried to-morrow. In one pocket was found a notebook bearing his name and age, and also instructions that in case of his death word should be sent to Miss Minnie Mills, Lake Charles, Lou- isiana. The request was complied with. - GOVERNMENT VESSELS WIN IN NAVAL FIGHT COLON, July 23.—The Government ves- sels are reported victorious in another naval battle with the insurgents, which occurred near Panama yesterday.

On account of the early hour—7 o'clock— many of the unionists did not arrive in time to take part In the parade, but they swelled the audience at the Taber- nacle to a prodigious size. President Gom- | pers, accompanied by members of his staff | and prominent union leaders of San Fran- | elsco, arrived on an early train and was met by the committee of arrangements selected by the unions of this side of the bay. The march through the streets was immediately begun, a band leading the way. Hundreds of union men who had gathered at the meeting place fell into line and formed the parade. There was no particular organization—only a pro- miscuous falling in wherever space per- mitted. Every trades union in the county was represented, including the carpenters, plumbers, millmen, electricians, plasterers, tailors, retail clerks, teamsters, butchers, printers, waiters and bricklaye AT THE TABERNACLE. ‘The forum at the Tabernacle was taken up with representatives of commercial- ism. The trades of Alameda County were represented as were the leading organi- zations for promotion of the ecity, includ- ing members from the Merchants’ Ex- change and the Board cf Trade. The meeting was opened by P. B. Preble, chairman of the committee on ar- rangements, who introduced C. K. Smith, president of the Alameda County Federa- tion of Labor, as chairman of the meet- ing. Mr. Smith spoke briefly, referring to the fact that Alameda County contains 3500 unionists. He declared that the unions _stand not for industrial war, but for industrial peace. It was the trades unions the world over that stood for peace and good government and cleanliness in all affairs, he said. They stood for a firm brotherhood and sisterhood among men and women. Thomas J. Klidd, vice president of the American Federation of Labor, sald that the spirit of unionism was abroad in the land, declaring that unions would grow and continue to grow until they succeeded in elevating men and women to a higher soclal and intellectual standing. He con- tiued: They say the union breeds dissension, and why not? Why should there be such conditions | under the stars and stripes as exist now in the coal reglons of Pennsylvania? The union has Ehortened the hours of labor and raised the | Standard of wages. It has shortened hours to keep pace with Invention. It makes room for the labor displaced by the improvements in ma- chinery. The stronger the union the better labor's condition. Not only in America, but | all over the gworld labor is organizing. Perhaps | you have noticed of late that unions are becom- ing known as international institutions. That is an evidence that the scope of the union s In- creasing all the time. CHEERS FOR GOMPERS. When Chairman Smith Introduced Mr. Gompers as “the grand old man of labor unionism, the champion of the working- man, the bulwark that stands between the foiler and the trust,” the last named was greeted by prolonged cheering and handclapping. In the midst of it all Mr. Gompers smiled and bowed his acknowl- edgments and when at last the applause died away he proceeded with his address. His remarks were often interrupted by | applause and his stories {llustrating his argument _were greéeted with hearty | 1aughter. Mr. Gompers said: 1 was very much impressed with the very feeling introductory remarks by the chairman. He has painted me in much brighter colors than 1 deserve. All these heroes grow much smaller as we get near to them. In former times so few people did_their duty that those who did were considered heroes. But these days the man who would do his duty must belong to the trade union, providing he is a workingman; | otherwise he is not worthy of our respect. The eloquent speakers who preceded me spoke of the necessity of agitation. I wish to empha- size that by a metaphorical fllustration, The pond that is left alone becomes stagnant, con- taining the elements of decay.

We who have been identified with the labor movements have, as unionism has become strong, been dignlified by not being termed mere agitators, but ‘professional” agitators, As all professions are honorable, we will soon be ask- ing for chairs in our universities and diplomas showing our capabilities. Our trade unionism does not deal with fanci- ful conditions, but with cold, solid facts. It secures better wages for the workingman. The trade union movement applies itself to the workingman’s conditions, especially relative to his industrial, social and moral life. You can- not_improve the condition of the workingman Without improving the standing of the nation among other nations. A former speaker drew your attention to & few men of the cloth who bade you look toward heaven for your reward and happiness. There are men aside from those who are frocked, who, With equal plety, direct your attention away from the rights of the working people. In times political there are always prophets to lead you.

Do you wonder that the workingman protests against throwing open the gates of this beau- tiful Pacific Coast to hordes of Chinese, who may come here with the hope of Chinaizing America? The hope of the American working- man to a great degree is centered in the trades unions of the Pacific Coast. On them devolves the duty of keeping the gates of the Pacific shut to the hordes of Orientals, who come hers to nibble at the American laboring man's wages, to undermine his guarantees of fair treatment, to eat Into the vitals of the home, It depends upon the workingmen to keep the teeming millions of China within the walls. This is the duty of the people of the Pacific Coast to their nation. Let me address you for a few moments on the conditions of the anthracite miners of Pennsylvania. Three years ago, you remem- ber, the miners at Latimer were shot down like game; 1o, not like game, for they simply ran, ran, ran. They were shot in thelr backs, A éry ot horror went up from all over the United States that those poor, benighted, un. guided miners should be shot. You would not believe it, but in three short years those unguided miners have become or anized, 160,000 strong, and are now putting up a sullen, silent struggle against the corporate Wealth of the anthracite regions. They are manifesting the courage and the determination of those that wish to be free. Tt is a silent Struggie. Courage must be fed upon breqd You who loudly cried for the freedom of Cuba, should offer up & prayer for the freedom of the anthracite miners.

WHOLESALE IMPORTATION OF JAPANESE GIRLS The preliminary examination of T. Yamanakl is being held before United States Court Commissioner Heacock on the charge of importing Japanese women to this State for immoral purposes. Hanu Terada, wife of Hiroji Terada, is the principal witness for the Government. She testifled yesterday that her husband came to this city from Japan with her and placed her in a house on Brooklyn alley managed by Yamanaki. She over- heard Yamanaki giving her husband in- structions to go to Japan and bring out several girls to be placed in the same house. e said to Hiroji that there were many mothers in Japan who would be very glad for a small money considera- tion to send their daughters to California. After Hiroji had been gone for some time Yamanaki complained to Hanu Terada that her husband was squandering the money given him and was not sending out any girls in accordance with his con- tract, and that if he was net heard from very soon Yamanaki would go to Japan and have him imprisoned for three years. ‘When Hiroji returned to this city, Yama- naki procured his arrest by the police on a charge of embezzlement. Matsu Takagi, another inmate of the same house, gave testimony -as to the disreputable character of the place and Yamanaki's connection with it. First Assistant United States Attorney Banning appears for the Government and omas D. Riordan for the defense. The case will be resumed to-day. DALTON JURY 15 COMPLETED Twelve Unbiased Citi zens Are Sworn to Try Assessor. Talesmen Are Questioned at Length Concerning the Corporations. e AR Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, July 23. The task of securing a jury to try As- sessor Dalton on the charge of being ac- cessory to the conspiracy to obtain $1573 from the county of Alameda upon an or- der for books that the alleged conspir- ators never delivered was finished this afternoon in Judge Ellsworth’s court. Instead of going on with the trial Judge Ellsworth aamonished the jurymen to keep away from all contact with extran- cous influences and to reserve their judg- ment until the final reckoning. He then continued the case until to-morrow morn- ing. ’Lg‘he same line of questioning that was adopted for the examination of talesmen Tuesday was pursued to-day. Every tales- man was asked if he had any affillations with the Contra Costa Water Compauy or the telephone company; if he had formed any opinion as to the guilt or innocence of Dalton from his reading of the accounts in the papers; hie politics with regard to Dalton’s candidacies the past, these sort of questions being asked by the defense. The questions vl the prosecution were corfined principaliy to the acquaintance of the talesman witd the counsel on the other side At the close of the case yesterday the defense made an effort to have adopted a new plan for selecting the jury—that of exercising the peremptory challenge only when the jury box was filled with twelve men, as was done in the Adams murder case. District Attorney Allen objected, however, and this morning Judge Ells- worth sustained him, after saying that he could see no good cause for disturbing the regular procedure, by which the tales- men are excused if found undesirable after examination. UNBIASED TALESMEN. W. 8. Fake, who was partly examined yesterday, was the first talesman this morning. * “Have you an acquaintance with Mr. Dalton?” ‘was one of the questions asked by District Attorney Allen. 3 “Only about election time,” was the sig- nificant reply. John McConaghy, another talesman, was asked by the defense if he had any relations with the water company, (o which he replied that he had not. “Have you any relatives or friends in the employ of the Contra Costa Water Company ?"” “None at all.” “Have you read in the papers the affi- davits made by Stedman and Oakes rel- ative to undelivered books for which the county paid $15752" “No, sir.” Henry Dusterberry was asked by At- torney Foote if he had formed any opin- jon of the case from what he read in the papers. “Well,” he sald, “it’s like two Dutchmen said the other nlghIAynu can’t believe what you see in the papers.” “Do you know any of the lawyers for the defense?” “Never had a lawyer in my life and I haven't any use for them. They are worse than the newspapers.” J. C. Fossing had such a high opinion of the Assessor that he told the prosecu- tion that he thought the Assessor could do no wrong. He was challenged and excused for bias. A remarkable talesman turned up in C. H. Burr of Berkeley. He knew noth- ing about the case, had not read of it in the papers, knew none of the lawyers, had no relatives in the water company or telephone company, never criticized Dal- ton’s administration of the Assessor’s of- fice, was always satisfled with his assess- ments and altogether his mind was so in- nocent of the alleged crime that he was readily accepted as a juryman. Gottlleb Zeh was asked If he ever had any dealings with Dalton, to which he re- lied that once he asked for a reduction In his assessment. HE VOTED FOR DALTON. “What did Mr. Dalton do?” inquired At- torney Fitzgerald for the defense. “He said nothing. He just laughed like a butcher boy.” D. E. Bortree said his interest in the water company was merely that of rate- ayer. p“\\'ould the fact that Mr. Dalton had settled a civil liability growing out of the same transaction in connection with which he is charged with a crime here prejudice you against him?” asked Fitz- Edward H. Clawiter volunteered to At- torney Fitzgerald that he had voted for Dalton for Assessor, but not for Con- gress. “Would the fact that you had espoused the cause of another candidate for Con- ress influence you In any way against r. Dalton?” was asked by Fitzgerald. “No, I think not.” Altogether twenty-eight talesmen were examined before the required twelve wers accepted. There were three challenges for bias by each side; six were excused by the defense and four by the prosecution. The jury is composed of the following named: Colby Collins, H. C. Gregory, J. R. Ayer, T. E. Maguire, John McConaghy, E. A, Moody, M. Y. Stewart, C. D. Hayes, C. H. Burr, D. E. Bortree, Edward H. Clawiter and Joseph Davis.

Valuable Animals Are Led to Place of Safety as the Flames Rage. —— Considerable excitement was caused at an eariy hour this morning by a fire which broke out in a small one-story bar fixture store next to the Stetson-Renner Drayage Company's big stables on Fifth street, near Bryant. When the fire began the flames shot up to a surprising height, illuminating the whole district. For a time it was feared that the stable, which contained 100 valuable draft horses, would be destroyed and some of the ani- mals burned or suffocated in their stalls. When it was seen that the fire was next | the big stables, two alarms were imme- diately turned in, but before the firemen reached the scene, a quantity of gasoline, stored in the rear of the burning sho; exploded. It caused the flames to burn most flercely. Officers W. G. Brown and Goodwin, who reached the fire first, de- veted their time to getting the horses out of ihe threatened stables. With the as- sistance of the stablemen they got all but a few of the animals to a place of safety, but in doing so they experienced consider- able difficuity, as the horses were fright- ened by the fire and struggled to remain in_their stalls. Five fire engines were soon at the scens and the flames were brought under con- trol before they could catch the stable: It was due to the effective work of the firemen that a conflagration was avertel, as the building that was burned was sur- rounded on all sides by wooden struet- | ures, and there are several lumber yards in_the neighborhood. The second floor of the Stetson-Renner stables is filled with hay and had the fire ever reached it it would have been im- possible to have saved the structure. The bar fixture shop was completely destroyed. It was estimated that the loss will amount to about $5000. Willlam Leane’'s plumbing store, which was next to the shop that was burned, was slightly damaged. The origin of the fire is not known.
