Wa- ters, city agent of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, is no longer seen by his friends here. They say he has had considerable domestic trouble lately, that his matrimonial life has not been of the smoothest, and that on this account he has left the city. “Alec,” as he is familiarly called by-his it is supposed that he took the steamer Nippon Maru on the following day for the Orient. The officers of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company are going over his accounts and at the pres- ent time do not care to state whether he is short.” Until a_few months ago Waters was in charge of the passenger office of the Pa- cific Coast Steamship Company. Last March C. D. Dunann was sent out from Chicago and was appointed passenger agent of the corporation. Since that time ‘Waters has had te report to Dunann. “Alec” Waters was one of the most pop- ular transportation men on Market street. He has hosts of friends, who deeply re- | gret his sudden departure from the city. | His associates scout the idea that he is short in his accounts and claim that he will return to the city as soon as domestic | troubles have blown over. Waters resided at the Van Nuys Hotel at 1001 Bush street until the 15th of this month. He paid his bill on that date and left no address where his malil should be forwarded to.

X, NIORGAN- COMES WITHOUT NEWS Magnate Returns From Europe But Main- tains S lence. i NEW YORK, Aug. -20.—Prominent among the long list of passengers who arrived to-day on the steamship Oceanic from Liverpool were: J. Pierpont Morgan, | Bishop Henry C. Potter of New York, i Clement A. Griscom of Philadelphia, pres- | 1dent of the Navigation Company; P. A. | B. Widener of Philadelphia and Mrs. Pat- | | rick Campbell, the English actress. Mor- gan declined to be interviewed, saying he had nothing to give out for publication. Bishop Potter said he had a delightful trip abroad, but was glad to get home. “I am surprised and sadly disappointed to find the coal strike still unsettled,” he continued. “It's certainly too bad that it has net been settled long since. I sup- posed it was all over and the news of its continuation which greets me here is the one dark spot on a most joyous home- coming. The anthracite coal operators have all along maintained a false posi- tion. They take the stand that they will not deal with the organizations, but insist on dealing with the men as individuals. “Now, this is all wrong. Any body of men whose interests are common have the right to organize into an association for mutual protection and are entitled to recognition as an organization in maltiers which affect their individual and com- bined interests.” Clement A. Griscom said: “I do not know when the steamshi combine will be incorporated. When went away everything was ready for its incorporation, so I expect it will take place very soon.” “‘Has the Cunard line entered into the | combination?” was asked. “No. No ome but the newspapers ever considered the Cunard line.” J. Ogden Armour of Chicago, who was also a passenger on the Oceanic, said in response to inquiries that he knew noth- ing about a $230,000,000 beef trust being organized. “I have been away on a purely pleasure trl{l." he said, “and I know absolutely nothing of the situation.” Asked if he had not heard that a con- solidation of the important beef-packing interests was under consideration, Armour said that he had heard of it, but did not { know what amount of capltal stock was proposed. LOVE AFFAIR MAY BE BACK OF THE TRAGEDY SACRAMENTO, Aug. 20.—Miss Alice Curtis, the handsome yqung daughter of ex-Supervisor Willlam Curtis, who shot herself yesterday afternoon, the bullet piercing her left lung, remains in a criti- cal condition. It is still impossible to foretell the outcome. She is conscious, and it is said she has given no explanation of her attempt to take her life. It appears to be the belief of many ac- quumancis of the young woman that a love episode had entered into her life, and that she grew despondent when her fath- er, to whom she Is greatly devoted and whose business affairs she manages, opposed the proposed match. It is said that Miss Curtis formed the acquaintance of a young man living at Oak Grove and that a warm attachment followed. This her father did not favor owing to the fact that the young man gave no promise of ability to support a wife. T e o —— J. Kelly of this city and Second Vice President Whalen.

FAGTIONS STIR PRESIDENT'S [RE Roosevelt Displeased by Political Strife in Texas. OYSTER BAY, N. Y, Aug. 20.—Presi- dent Roosevelt to-day in no uncertain terms expressed his disapproval of fae- tional differences in the Republican party. C. A. Lyon, chairman of the Republican State Committee of Texas, called upon him and presented his side of the con- troversy which has arisen among the Re- publicans of Texas. The President stated to him with the utmost emphasis that no man had any authority to speak for the President -as regards Texas matters; that the President was taking no side, for or against any man or any faction among the Texas Republicans; that as a matter of fact the President was exceedingly impatient with those Republicans who went Into factional divisions and that in any such States as Texas or Virginia or in any other State in which the Repub- lican party is in a minority, but had a chance to do something, the President felt the credit would fall to those Republican leaders who were able {0 make good show. ings at the polls, especially for Congress- sional candidates, and not to those who spent their time plotting how they could get delegates or receive offices. He told yon that he could explain this to all Texas Republicans of every faction. Lyon was the President's guest at luncheon, among the other guests being George E. Roberts, Director of the Mint, Before leaving for New York Roberts stated that his call was of a social nature. He said that he had discussed Iowa poli- tics with the President and had informed him that the action of Iowans on the tariff was_pot of a revolutionary char- acter. The Republicans of the State, he said, believed that cerlain changes in the tariff were necessary and that it would be better to make the movement now ‘th‘an ltm walit until later and be forced nto it.

Great Northern’s President Speaks of Oriental / Trade. ST. PAUL, Aug. 20.-—The trust question was in evidénce agaln to-day in the dis- ¢éussions before the Trans-Mississippi Con- gress and a number of resolutions bear- ing upon its various phases were intro- duced and referred to the committee on resolutions. ‘'olonel Moses C. Wetmore of St. Louls introduced a series of anti-trust resolu- tions, which declared that trusts are a menace to a republican form of govern- ment and to the hopes and ambitions of youth, and urged the President to enforce existing laws against illegal combinations. 1If those laws are insufficient the President 1s asked to eall upon Congress to supply the deficiency. On the other hand, Thurber of New York introduced a resolution asking Con- gress to suspend judgment until it can be learned whether or not trusts are an evil. Thurber’s declaration in his speeci of yesterday that after months of care- ful inquiry' and examination he was able to assert that the so-called beef trust was a figment of the imagination called forth a resolution to-day from William H.. Eustis of Minneapolis, asking that this part of Thurber's address be ex- punged from the records of the congress. The motion caused a lively debate and was made a special order for to-morrow's session. A number of notable addresses were made to-day, that of President J. J. Hill of the Great Northern Rallroad. upon “‘Oriental Trade” being of special interest. Speaking of the proposed isthmian ship canal, Hill declared he would not lay a straw in the way of its construction at an expense of some flve hundred millions, but in his opinion thirty-five to forty mil- lors spent in deepening the channel of the Mississippi River between New Or- leans and St. Louis would give-far better results in the end. As to money spent on the improvement of the upper waters of that same river, he thought it would be much better invested in irrigating the arid regions of the Great West. In discussing the trade which the rall- roads and steamship lines would be best able to carry to the Orient, he argued that those which broufiht the most speedy returns would be t! vestment, insisting that chief attention should be paid to the farm products throughout the entire Western country and that it would prove to be poor policy to depend on the development of slower manufdcturing enterprises or on the less sure mining wealth of the West. The rail- rcads wanted. products which would make a haul for them both ways, thereby making possible lower rates on what was hauled. The committee on permanent organiza- tion made its report this afternoon and the congress adopted it without opposi- tion. The new officers are: President, John H. Kirby, Houston, Tex.; vice presi- dents at large, Colonel B. F. Montgom- ery, Cripple Creek, Colo.; L. Bradford Prince, Santa Fe, N. M.; John Riplinger, %en.ttle, and N. C.

CHICAGO, Aug. 20.—After an investiga- tion by thel Chicago police extending over a fortnight and & t&vo days® Coroner’s in- quest the authoritfes are still in doubt whether the body of the murdered woman found in the fleld at Seventy-fourth and State streets was really that of Minnie Mitchell. Three men stand accused of complicity In her death and that of Mrs. Anne Barth- olin and are held in heavy bonds to the Grand Jury. Yet Patrolman Watson, who found the body, could not tell its sex because of its advanced stage of decom- position. ‘While the important testimony of a wigmaker who identified the switch of false hair as one she had made for Min- nie Mitchell came to help the theory of the police that the body was that of Miss | Mitchell, Dr. Joseph Springer, the Cor- oner's physician, steadfastly maintained that it was not her body and gave the| Coroner the following statement: THE MYSTERIOUS BODY. On August 8 I held a post-mortem examina- tion upen the body of an unknown woman (un- identified). On inspection 1 found the body n a bad state of decomposition. I found the scalp, shoulders and arms totally destroyed by absorption. I found the abdomen contract- ed, the skin dried and the tissues of the pelvis destroyed by absorption. I found z bullet hole | a fourth of an inch in diameter in the center | of the back of the head, in the center of the ocelpital bone. On opening the skull I found that the brain was totally destroyed and the skull. empty. I found a small flattened buliet lying at the base, the vertebrae of the back portruding and the tissues destroyed. In my | opinion the said unknown woman came to her death from a bullet wound in the head. Dr. Springer declared it was his opinion that death must have oecurred from nine to twelve weeks preceding the finding of the body in order to allow the disintegra- tion of the body, as it was found. Ho, declared that quicklime had not been | used. Even the Coroner’s jury when it rendered a verdict to-day recommending that Oscar Thompson, Edward Counsel- man and John Claffy be held to explain the death, stated only that the body was | supposed to be that of Minnie Mitchell. | Articles of clothing found near the dead body, however, were Identifled by the Mitchell family and a week ago the body was buried as Minnie Mitchell by rela- | | tives of the girl, who has been missing | since July 20, and who was last seen in the company of her sweetheart, William | J. Bartholin. Two witnesses, Lisutenant Healey and W. M. Allen, testified that | Counselman, the intimate friend of Barth- olin, had told them ‘the fugitive wanted | money with which te pay for a surgical operation on the Mitchell girl at a North Side hospital. POLICE IN QUANDARY. With this conflicting testimony to hin- der them the police are almost stalled in their search for William Bartholin, whom the Coroner's jury recommended to be | apprehended. The verdict of the Coro- | ner’s jury practically leaves any further | investigation as to the supposed death of | Minnie Mitchell to the September Grand | Jury. State's Attorney Dineen will re- turn to the city soon and will take up the charges against Thompson, Claffy and Counselman. 3 More tangible results are expected from the postponed inquest in the case of Mrs. Anne Bartholin, which will be resumed to-morrow. For this murder Oscar Thompson is held as principal and Coun- | selman and Claffy as accessories, al- though William Bartholin is being sought on the suspicion of matricide, as weil as for the murder of his flancee.

Corporal Michael Shanahan, who has been doing police duty for the last eigh- | teen years, s in trouble. Captain | Jokn Spiilane has filed ‘charges against | him of drunkenness, which would have | been heard last right, but the Police Com- mission did not meet because some of the | members are on their vacation. | Captain Spillane's charges are to the | effect that Shanahan was detailed for reg- ular duty in the first section of the south- | ern district, bounded by First, Market, | Fifth and Irwin streets, from p. m. August 12 to 7 a. m. August 13. He was supposed to report in from the patrol boxes every hour. He rang in at 2:10 a. m. from the corner of ‘Stevenson and Fourth | streets,, and an hour later -he rang the box at Grant avenue and Market street. | % This was entirely off his beat and the occurrence attracted _the attention of | Lieutenant Conboy, whe-waited for Shan- ahan to ring agaih. From that time on . there were no calls from Shanahan, and in the morning, before going off watch, the lieutenant made an investigation. He says he found Shanahan in bed at 13 | Whitney street in a badly intoxicated condition. Sergeant Mahoney was with Conboy at the time, and they are both positive as to Shanahan's. condition. He admitted to them that he had been drink- ing, and told them that his reason for not reporting off at 7 o'clock in the morning was that he was too drunk to show him- self. Shanahan has -a rather unenviable record in the department. He has been once disrated and twice fined for drunk- enness. About a month ago he made ap- plication to the Police Commissioners to have his record expunged since 1393, but the request was denied because the Com- missioners felt they could not go behind the testimony that was produced against him at that time. He can get no stand- ing from the Civil Service Board because of his record, and even should he pass a perfect examination entitling him such a derating he stands no chance promotion. \ SEATTLE, Aug. 20.—The bedy of James ‘McNeile, a miner, was found floating in the bay off the foot of Wall street to-day. Ther Portland Clergyman En- dures Awful Hard- ships. Wanders for Twenty-seven Hours During a Heavy Snowfall. 3 E3 Special Dispatch to The Call. PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. 20.—Twenty= seven hours of hardship on Mount Hood was - suffered by the Rev. W. A M. Bjeck, rector of St.. Matthew's Episco- ral Church, who returned to tell of his adventure to-day. Lost on the mountain in a blinding snowstorm, suffering from the bitter cold, overtaken by night, the clergyman had an experience that would test the steel of any mountaineer. Mr. Breck has been taking a holiday at Government Camp, and on Saturday morning he went with a party, up to the snow line. From that time till Sunday afternoon he was alone. Sald he to- ight “'We left the camp about 9 on the morn- ing of Saturday. The remainder of the pnnK rode, but I walked. When we reached the snow line it was not very clear and the women complained a great deal of the numbness of their hands and teet. 1t was quite out of the question for the horses to carry them any fur- ther, so they turned back. I was equipped for good, hard climbing and had nothing with me but my alpenstock. While I had nct the faintest intention of going any further than Crater Rock. I thought I would keep on, in spite of the rest. I went from one point to another. 1 had a great desire to see above the fog. I Lad heard what a beautiful sight it was and it was a great pleasure to find myself finally away above the sea of fog rolling below me in the valley. “Almost without warning a fine snow commenced to fall. A fierce wind blew the sharp particles, cutting my hands and face. Before I could make any headway back my tracks had been entirely ob- literated and I was lost. “Knowing that whatever I did I must not get toa far away from the right road, 1 tried to mount a sharp ascending ridge much Jike a hog’s back. I struggled along this until I found that its course up the mountain was practically interminable. Then I determined to retrace my steps to my former. position. To walk along this ridge I had to go with one foot on either side of the crest. In some way I dislodged some rocks and my alpenstock was torn from my grasp and whirled hundreds of feet down into the canyon below. From that on I had to make out as best I could unaided. “With the greatest difficulty I managed to get down into the canyon, where a stream was flowing under the snow. Fur- ther down the stream emerged from the drift and I followed it on. When night came I was in the timber. I could not see an inch ahead of my nose; it was ing; I had not even a match; I had noth- ing to eat; I had no wraps. It was bitter cold and I was afraid to sleep for fear of dying of exposure. I went under a big tree, leaned against the trunk and spent the night there. I did not walk around. I just stood there and waitad for the morn- ing. Time and again I nodded off, to awaken with a start. “In the dawn I went to the banks of what I suppose was one branch of the Zigzag and there I rested awhile. I was very stiff indeed, so much so that I could herdly drag one leg after another. In the full light I followed this stream down. On.my way I found berries and with these 1 kept up my strength. It wags noon when I reached the road about a mile and a half Irom the toll gate. I made my way to this and stayed there till ‘Monday morning."” Mr. Breck came in last eveming on lhis wheel from the camp. He was very much exhausted by his experience. The last day’s ride was fifty-eight miles- and this. with his exposure and struggles of his night on the bleak mountain, had very much exhausted his strength. FOR EDSON TO A FINISH.
