ARMY AND NAVY ~ AGAIN AT PEACE |Game of War Is Ended | With the Spectacular [ Bombardment. | ON BOARD U. 8 S ALABAMA,| BLOCK ISLAND, R. L, Sept. 6.—No man | in Rear Admiral Higginson's fleet knows | to-day which has won the maneuvers of | the past week, the navy or the army, but | S0 important are the lessons learned and | luable the experiences of the days of | war” that the question of victory is comparatively of minor import. & The incident of last night, when five of | | the ships ran into the eastern passage of | Narragansett Bay, by Forts Adams and Wetherill, without accident of any kind, is regarded as a highly successful bit of dangerous navigation. While by the run by the forts would have been as | foolhardy as it was brilliant and spec- | tacular, the result must be judged by the | relation of the night movement to the maneuvers of the afternoon, when Ad- miral Higginson's ships executed plans | more nearly like the strategy of war thaa | anything during the week. These plans included | naval stations by the Brooklyn and Olym- pia at Narragansett Pier and by the Montgomery, Mayflower and Scorpion at Prices Neck, of the forts by | harbor of Ochre Point, with a similar per- formance by the Kearsarge and Alabama e Brenton Keef lightship.

Strife for the Control of Two Bright Little Girls, Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Sept. 6.—Frank Myers, a tlacksmith from Castroville, was arrest- eA here this evening on the arrival of the 9:20 o'clock train for kidnaping his two iittle daughters at Monterey to-day. The warrant was sworn to by his wife and telegraphed to San Jose, Myers’ wife left him a few months ago and, tzking the children, went to Mon- terey to live with her brother, Joseph Pomber. It is charged that she failed to take good care of the children, who are bright little girls of 3 and 4 years, and ber brothef notified the father. Recently Myers sold out his shop in Castroville and to-day he went to Salinas and took his children. They were with him when he was arrested. Myers had ‘arranged with a sister, Miss Lottie Smith of Salinas, to ge to San Francisco and care for the children. In his possession when arrest- ed was found a postal card addressed to Ler, telling her he had the children and asking her to go to San Francisco. Myers said this evening that he was going to Oklohoma to adjust some busi- ness and would leave the children in San Francisco. He intended to return to Cal- ifornia shortly and again engage in the blacksmithing business. Officers from Monterey will arrive fm‘! Myers to-morrow. Myers declares he will | fight in the courts to keep possession of | the children, Cattle-Thief Dickey Free. SAN DIEGO, Sept. 6.— Word comes from Ensenada that Dickey, the man whom Sheriff White of Fresno succeeded in having arrested at that place, has been released. Dickey had been arrested in Fresno County for cattle stealing, and, upon being bailed out, jumped his bond and fled to Lower California, in company with his wife and child. Sherff White went after him with extradition papers and Dickey's arrest followed. Sheriff White then found that there was nothing in the treaty with Mexico which would permit the extradition of a bond jumper, | £0 he returned, after supplying the neces- sary money to get Mrs. Dickey back to Fresno County. In the meantime Dickey instituted habeas corpus proceedings and was freed. St gl o San Jose Belle Will Wed.

V. Quarles of Wisconsin, who is the guest in Los Angeles of Senator Bard, declared to-day that one of the first acts of the Senate when Congress reas- sembled would be the ratification of a reciprocity treaty with Cuba along the lines desired by President Roosevelt. He said: “There is not the slightest doubt that Cuba will be given the benefit of the treaty which the new republic tried hard to obtain at the last session of Congress. The world knows what the President's wishes ‘are and what his stand has been all the time and the ratification of the treaty will be accomplished soon after it is presented to the Senate. It is probable that some important changes will be made in the document, but just what those changes will be I do not know, ex- cept in a general way. The action of the Senute will be prompt, however, for I un- derstand there has been a decided break in the opposition ranks and that a number of Senators who previously opposed the measure will now support it.” Senator Quarles is the senior member of the Senate Committee on Indian Af- fairs. His present trip through the coun- try is largely for the purpose of person- ally looking into the condition and needs of the Indians. Asked as to the probable solution of the Indian question he sald: “I have visited many of the reserva- tions in the Middle West, and believe that the advancement of this policy’ al- ready shows that it is practical. To make the Indians independent of government aid will require much time and the transi- tion necessarily will be gradual. Also, it will be necessary to introduce it among the different tribes along different lines, since no two tribes are alike. As an in- stance of the difference, the manner of introducing independence to the Sioux and the Chippewas may be cited. The Stoux take to the cattle range; hence the Government encourages them in the rais. ing of cattle. They are given cattle and when they have twenty head or more, Government rations are cut off. Their independence has advanced that much and gradually the aid grows less, “With the Chippewas, the way is differ- ent. They are inclined to timbering and the Government encourages them along that line. “It will take years to put the policy in- to effect and thus rid the nation of the troublesome Indian question, but it cer- tainly will be accomplished and along the lines now being followed. That vexed question has needed solution ever since the Indians became dependent upon the Government and as time went on the tribes became more helpless. They real- ized that the Goverment would look after them and hence would make no effort at self help.” Organized Gang Haunts Interior California Cities, Maintains a “Fence” Where Stolen Wheels Are Dis- posed Of, Special Dispatch to The Call SAN JOSE, Sept. 6.—The wholesale stealing of bicycles of late has convinced the police that a gang of bicycle thieves is operating in San Jose, with a ‘“fence” in one of the neighboring towns. Hardly a day passes but one or two wheels are stolen and few of these are ever recov- ered. They evidently are shipped out of the city and sold. Reports from Stockton lead the officers to believe the same thieves are operating in that city. Frequent losses of bicycles occur there. Chief McGurk of the Slough City is in communication with San Jose nearly every day In regard to stolen wheels and San Jose always has some lost wheels to report back. It is estimated that during the month of August more than 100 bicycles were stolen in San Jose. This is an especially good field for the thieves. Nearly all of the employes of the big canneries ride to and from their work on bicycles and much of the stealing is done from these places. E Cloudburst and Tornado. EL PASO, Tex., Sept. 6.—A cloudburst ficre this afternoon delayed street car traffic absolutely for half an hour. Water ran in the streets a foot deep in many places. The flercest hallstorm ever known on the border accompanied the rain. Hall was piled two inches in depth in many places so rapidly did it fall. The rain and hail was accompanied by a sand storm, the velocity of the wind being forty-elght miles an hour. OTTUMWA, Iowa, Sept. 6.—A tornado struck the towns of Albla and Hiteman last night. In the latter place it Is re- ported that several houses were blown away. Machinists’ Strike Near an End. LIVINGSTON, Mont., Sept. 6.—Twelve of the striking machinists of the railroad shops of the Northern Pacific at this place returned to work to-day and indi- cations point to the early settlement of the strike. The men who have returned declared they are acting under the orders of the Grand Lodge of Machinists. The local men, however, are holding out for the recognition of the organization and assert that the Grand Lodge'’s instructions are that the striking machinists must re- turn in a body. Vice President Wilson of the Grand Lodge is now in St. Paul en- deavoring to adjust the grievances. Three Drowned in a TLake. KALAMAZOO, Mich., Sept. 6.—In a gale on Gull Lake, a rowboat containing A. C. Miller of Battle Creek and Herman Buer and Henry Buer of Yorkville, Mich., was capsized and all three were drowned. FRESNO, Sept. 6.—Policeman Akers, who on Sunday morning was accidentally wounded in the left forearm by a bullet fired during a fracas among Japanese, is in a dangerous con- 1 gition from blood poisoning. JLEKING GOVER Scandals Stirred Up by Interstate Commerce Commission. Four Railroad Officials In- dicted for Rate Man- ipulation. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Sept. 6.—It is officially stated that the four rallroad officials indicted by the Federal Grand Jury for manipulation of rates by means of rebates are W. R. Burk and W. H. Bennett, general freight agent of the To- ledo, Ann Arbor and North Michigan Railroad, and F. H. Whitcomb, president, and Burton Johnson, general freight agent of the Wisconsin Central. The two roads connect at Manitowoc by car ferry. No attempt has been made to cause their arrest nor is it certain that any will be made for the present. CHICAGO, Sept. 6.—J. F. Marchand, special attorney for the Interstate Com- merce Commission, stated to-night that capjases have been issued for the arrest of the indicted men and will be served. The act under which the bills were voted fixes penalties of a fine not exceeding $50,000 or imprisonment in the penitentiary for a term not exceeding two years or both. It is understood that the docu- ments charged the officials with unlawful manipulation of rates on flour and feed to eastern destinations. Evidence is said to have been adduced to show that secret rates were given to certain big millers and that domestic flour was handled on the export rate. The bills also are said to contain a clause charging false billing as a means where- by traffic was procured for the two rail- roads involved. There were summoned as witnesses be- fore the Grand Jury thirty prominent rail- road officials and millers of the North- west, but only three witnesses were heard. These are said to have been a Lake Shore Railway agent from Amherst, Ohio, a flour and feed dealer at the same place and Auditor Smith of the Inter- state Commerce Commission. he dis- missal of a large number of {fhportant witnesses leads to the belief that a special Grand Jury will be summoned to take up the matter of cut rates and pref- erences given to shippers with a view of punishing not only all the railroad offi- cials involved but also those who ac- cepted preferences. It is understood that the agent of the Interstate Commerce Commission secured a great deal more evidence than he ex- pected, inculpating many prominent men in the Northwest, and that the four pend- ing bills are but the beginning of the prosecutions. Reports are current that other railréads will be involved. The case is the first in the history of the commis- sion where the attention of that body was directed to infractions of the law by rail- road men. Agents of the various rail- roads interested are said to have made a quiet investigation which resulted in evi- dence being placed before the Interstate Commerce Commission. New Reclamation District.
