SEATTLE, Sept. 29.—“We, the under- signed, miners and laborers of the Chig- nik Coal Company, do hereby affirm that we truly believe that we have been hoaxed, deceived and swindled and that we must provide for ourselves as best we can, and we therefore propose to take possession of the property of the com- pany and use as much of it as is neces- sary to take us out of this place, for we know that if we remain here until winter we must starve.” This statement was drawn up and signed at Chignik, Alaska, a desolate, wind-exposed place at the end of the Aleutan peminsula, 265 miles from Kodiak, on July 30 of this year. It was signed by Thomas W. Stevens, E. S. Sheridan, W. A. Pollman, Charles Nolen, R. 8.

The men who made this positive state- ment left Seattle on May 26 on the seven- ty-ton schooner Louisa S, under contract with A. E. Dickerman, secretary of the company, to work at its coal mine for $4 a day. In addition to these wages they were to get dividends on their stock, for each man had put $0 into the treasury, for which he got stock valued at $200. Under these terms thirty men sailed in. charge of W. O. Pollman, the company’s foreman.

PARDEE SCORES | MAN AND WOMAN | THIRTY MILLIONS BEYFUSS PLAYS HIT WITH LABOR Talks to Men in the San Berna.'rdino Carshops. Three Towns Give Nominee Wildly Enthusiastic Receptions. Special Dispatch to The Calls SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 29.—Until to-day report had it that this was to be a quiet campaign in San Bernardino County, but rumor has about-faced since Dr. Pardee and Duncan McKinlay reached town this afternoon. In two meetings here during the day they stirred things politically until enthusiasm has burst out in a fierce flame, and there is a whoop and hurrah not only for the head of the ticket, but which will reach all the way down the list to the hum- blest nominee. The effect has been as- tonishing even to politiclans, and the meeting at the opera-house to-night, which closed an arduous day's work, was attended by an audience that packed that building to the limit and cheered from start to finish of the speeches. Pardee took a swing around the county to-day, beginning with Pomona, where he had passed the night, and everywhere he met with rousing receptions. PARDEE IN POMONA. When it was announced last week that the only chance Pomona would have to hear the Republican candidate for Gov- ernor speak this campaign would come during a forenoon, many persoms here believed the meeting would be a failure. This is the busiest season of the year |in these fruit-growing regions and resl- dents do not like to give time from work hours to political meetings. But Dr. Pardee is a remarkable ‘‘drawer,” and the newspaper reports of the strong cam- paign he is making in Southern Califor- nia brought out a large assemblage of Pomonans. Dr. Pardee and his party reached the Hotel Palomares in Pomona last even- ing. There was an informal welcome of the nominee for Governor by two-score of the prominent men of Pomona, while a number of ladies paid their respects to Mrs. Pardee. This morning citizens from all parts of Pomona Valley began assembling early at the Hotel Palomares, and when the speaking began the great wide piazzas and the lawn all about were crowded by standing men and women, who had laid aside their duties to hear California’s next Governor. John Wasson, the vete- ran editor of the Pomona Times and an original Pardee advocate, was chairman of the open-air meeting. Standing on an elevation of the hotel piazza, Dr. Pardee addressed his audience. He spoke partic- ularly of the importance of this cam- paign in preserving the era of prosperity into which the McKinley administration had led America. He denied that this was merely a campaign of candidates for public office and declared that it meant either the keeping of this nation in the front rank of the world powers or al- lowing it to retrograde. Pardee was frequently cheered. Duncan E. McKinlay was introduced and for an hour spoke on what Republi- canism had done for California and what it would still do for California if it were given the chance. At 10:30 o'clock Dr.; Pardee and his party took the cars for Redlands. A | Breat crowd of Pomona men gave ringing | cheers as the nominee waved his hat in farewell. VISITS THE CAR SHOPS. Dr. Pardee and McKinlay arrived here from Pomona at 11 o’clock this morning, and, after an early luncheon, were driven to the Santa Fe shops, where it had been arranged that at 12:30 o’clock the nomince for Governor should talk to the shopmen The men had eaten luncheon hurriedly and before the half hour arrived they were drifting into the new foundry, com- ing in groups of fives and tens from all over the shops and yards until 50 of them were gathered, in addition to a number of residents from down town. Dr. Pardee soon mounted a pile of ties in one corner of the building and was intro- duced by W. J. Phillips, foreman of the machine shops. Pardee at once went straight to the center of what he had to say by des claring himself not only in sympathy with organized labor, but emphatically in favor of it, believing it an absolute necessity that labor should organize in self-defense and to obtaln its rights. Dr. had already been around and personally shook hands with many of the men, and the talk he gave them was of the heart- to-heart sort, but its influence was ten- fold multiplled by his answer to an In- quiry yelled out from among the crowd. THAT PICKHANDLE ‘CANARD. “How about that pickhandle story?” was the question, and Pardee replied: I am glad you spoke of that. I am mighty glad you spoke of that thing. If there is one thing more than another that a good American should hate, it s to lie; if there is one thing more than ‘another that a good American should rejoice in, it is to knock a lie silly. In '04, ‘as you know, there were bitter hard times. ‘As I'sald before, I was Mayor of Oak- land at that time. We were working upon | our streets from 300 to 400 of our own citi- zens, our own flesh and blood. All of a sud- den Mayor Ellert of San Francisco sent over to us 650 Coxey Armyites. They came to Oakiand and I met them at the ferry and asked them, “‘What are you going to do?'’ They said they were going to Washington. asked: ‘‘How long are you going to stay in Oakland?’ They replied: “Over night.” I sald, ‘‘Very well. come over here,” and I took them to the Miils Tabernacle, & large build- ing, and gave them supper and I lodged them over night and gave them breakfast the next morning. If you will pardon me for saying it, it _cost me more than $100 to do it. The_next morning I sald, ‘“‘Are you ready to go?" They sald, “No, we are not ready; we want to stay another day.” So then the citizens, the Chief of Police and others got up a subscription and paid for their supper that night and their lodging that night and their breakfast the next morning. Then I went and said; ''Are you goirg to-day?’ And they re- plied: “We don't want to walk.”” ‘““What do you want?’ I asked, and they answered: ““We want & train of cars’'’ I communicated with A, D. Wilder, whc was superintendent of the Southern Pacific, and he said it would cost $900 to send these men from Oakland to Sacramento In a train of passenger ca “We can’t pay that,” I said. *“What will yoy charge for a_train of frelght cars?’ He said $200, and we got up a subscription and sent them off from Oakland on a good, clean train of freight cars, NO FORCE WAS USED. The night they left they went and looked at the cars and then came back and in thelr peculiar way they sald they would be d—-a if they would ride in freight cars from Oak- land to Sacramento, I replied: ‘‘You have got to leave town. We have from 800 to 600 people of our own to take care of and you have got to leave.” The leaders said to me: “If you make a show of force so that we can get our men out of the Tabernacle and get them on the train of cars, we will go." So we called out the Fire Department, and, according to the agreement with the leaders of the Coxey army, called thems, out and .sur- rounded them with'sixty men (ahd there were something like 600 of the Coxeyites) and they marched to the train. There were Do pick- handles, no engines playing a hose. Some of the poor fellows. were dirty ragged and ought to have had a bath, but théy did not get it. But there were no pickhandles, no fire hose, no blows struck and not a drop of blood shed, and I am xlad here to nail a lle before you—as infamous a lle as was ever told about any American citizen. This s the statement of facts with regard to the Coxey army, Do you want more Coxey armies? Do you want a return to those times that made it not only possible but necessary to haye Coxe armies? You don't look as it you did and Pardee | ATTACK HUNTERS Open Fire on Two San Joseans on Mount Hamilton. Many Volleys Are Exchanged ‘Without Injury to the Combatants. e S Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Sept. 9.—Two professional men of this city, Attorney I. L. Koppel and Dr. 8. L. Walton, were forced into an unexpected combat with an unknown man and woman while hunting deer in the Mount Hamilton range yesterday. As they were climbing a trail near the ranch of John Geary a bullet whizzed over their heads and a puff of smoke In a chaparral bush a short distance away showed whence the shot came. At first it was be- lieved to be an accident, but another bul- let striking at their feet showed they were being used as a target. Koppel and Wal- ton jumped behind some brush. The un- known man kept on shooting, however, and when he showed himself his fire was returned. For fifteen or twenty minutes this battle went on. A woman presently made her appearance and evidently brought the man some ammunition. She also was armed and.fired several shots. Between twenty-five« and thirty shots were exchanged, but no one was wounded. Not knowing who the persons were or their reason for the attack and fearing they might hit . the woman the San Joseans withdrew. The only way to ac- count for the shooting at the hunters was that they were hunting on ‘‘no trespass- ing” ground and some farmer took this method of expelling them from his place. Forest Fires Near Cazadero. DUNCANS MILLS, Sept. 20.—Forest fires are burning between Duncans Mills and Cazadero and pressing over the sev- eral ranges beyond. There has been some damage to the redwood tract along Austin Creek and quantities of posts and ties have been burned. The fire started yes- terday afternoon and scores of men are fighting it. @ il @ don’t believe you do. But if you do, vote the Democratic ticket and you will get it just as sure as you are standing in this building listening to me. Remember '94 and '95 and '96 and be careful. ~As we say in most of our lodges, ‘‘Black balls reject and white balls elect.’’ Be careful how you ballot and cast white balls for the Republican ticket. When any fellow talks about pickhandles and ac- cuses the Mayor of Oakland in '93 and '94 and 95 (and I was the fellow) of using pick- handles you tell him—and if you are afraid of getting into a fight you just tell him that 1 told you to tell him—that he is a liar, and it he wants any fight to come to Alameda County and be will get it. (Great and continued ap- plause.) SPEECH MAKES A HIT. Pardee’s talk went straight to the mark and it was with a tremendous cheer from the shop men that the nominee dismount- ed from the temporary stand. Frank Matteson of Santa Cruz, candidate for member of the State Board of Equaliza- tion, was introduced. He stopped only long enough to say “How do” to the men, and to add that while he was glad he had been nominated, he genuinely regretted that both himself and A. G. Kendall of this county could not have won in the convention at Sacramento. The next half hour was spent in going through the vast shops maintained here by the Santa Fe, the party being piloted by General Foreman Werst, and at 1:40 o’clock Dr. Pardee and Messrs. McKinlay and Matteson were taken in éharge by the Redlands committee and boarded a train for the town across the valley. REDLAND’S WARM WELCOME. Dr. Pardee and his party arrived in Redlands at 2:30 o'clock. An immense crowd was present to greet the nominee. Members of the County Central Commit. tee had arranged for a splendid recep- tion. A band- was present and after the party was comfortably riages the parade proceeded to the speak- ers’ stand, Dr. Pardee being cheered all along the line, A brief address by Chair- man S. C. Haver of the Republican League Club of Redlands, which is 700 strong, opened the programme and cheer after cheer greeted the closing remarks of the one-armed veteran when he in- | troduced Pardee. ‘When Pardee arose to acknowledge the generous reception accorded him, several minutes elapsed before he could begin his speech. Everybody ‘“‘whooped it up” to give vent to their surplus enthusiasm. Only a short speech was made by Par- dee, as his entire time in Redlands was | limited to two hours. Cheer after cheer went up as he proceeded and he was given a tremendous ovation at the con- clusion of his talk. McKinlay then took the stand and his brilliant oratory was listened to atten- tively. After a warm hand-shake all around, the party was taken for a drive, and, on returning, departed on the 4:40 o’clock train for Riverside. THRONGS POUR INTO TOWN. Returning from Redlands at 5:15 o'clock, Dr. Pardee went to his hotel to rest up for the evening meeting. All the valley seemed to pour into town to-night. Elec- tric cars from Colton came in with trail- ers and the steam line landed hundreds of persons, so that when the magnificent audience was called to order in the opera- house Dr. Pardee could but feel that San Bernardino had given him a splendid re- ception, which meant not only present good will but a splendid majority in No- vember. A. G. Kendall, chalrman of the Republican County - Central Committee, called the meeting to order and introduc- ed Judge F. W. Gregg as chairman. Judge Gregg was chairman of the committee on resolutions in the State convention. He spoke briefly in introducing Dr. Pardee, promising for him and the State ticket a majority of from 800 to 1000 in this county. Dr. Pardee's reception amounted to an ovation, and he feelingly expressed his appreciation in the opening of his re- was refreshing that he was the nominee of the Republican party for Governor in his native State; that he was here to let the people see what manner of man he in him somewhere the foundation on which could be built a respectable Gov=- discussing the labor question briefly and expressing his faith in unions and their purposes, he launched into the main is- sues of the campaign. Sald he: 1 have been asked a number of times durk this campaign what I consider to be the prin- cipal issue in this campaign—the most im- portant issue—and 1 have always and very readily and very emphatically answered that it is the continuance of the prosperity and the progress of the people of this State and na- tion. There is no other thing that should en- gross the attention of our people to such an extent as that one question. This led him into a discussion of the prosperous conditions of the present day as contrasted with those of 1894-9, and he strongly urged .that the only way that California can record its verdict in favor of the policy of prosperity would be by electing the Republican ticket, State and Congressional, Dr. Pardee was followed by Frank Mat- teson, and he by Duncan McKinlay, whose masterly oration held the audience for nearly an hour.

After ' 10 BE PELEKSE Treasurer Shaw Gives Additional Aid to the Banks, Permits Them to Use the Re- serve Fund Against Gov- ernment Deposits. NEW YORK, Sept. 20.—Secretary of the Treasury Shaw, who was in New York to- night, has issued a statement in which he /| says that the banks hereafter will not be required to carry a reserve against Gov- ernment deposits secured by Government bonds. This will make available to-mor- row more than $30,000,000. Secretary Shaw declined to discuss the financial situation further than to say that the Treasury Department would co- operate as far as possible with the banks in their effort to supply the necessary credit to do the unprecedented amount of business that is taxing rallroads and steamship lines, as well as banks, to the utmost. % Shaw saic he had never seen any good reason why banks holding a Government deposit secured by Government bonds should be required to carry a reserve against it. First, it is a deposit not likely to be called in in a time of stringency, and, second, if called the collateral will always sell for cash In excess of the de- posit. He<has, since he took charge of the Treasury, contemplated relieving the banks of this burden. The Comptroller of the Currency agrees with the Secretary, and, therefore, it is announced that hereafter banks will not be required to carry a reserve against Government deposits secured by Govern- ment bonds. RELEASES RESERVE FUND. The Treasury has on deposit with vari- ous banks scattered throughout the coun- try, from Maine to California and from Minnesota to New Orleans, in round num- bers one hundred and thirty millions, against which the banks have heretofore been compelled to hold more than thirty millions of gold or its equivalent. This decision will release that much reserve and thirty millions additional credit. The Secretary said he would continue to make deposits of internal revenue and miscellaneous receipts (all available for that purpose), practically a half million per day, as long as the situation required, and if the banks were unable to retain Government bonds to secure the same he would accept the same general class of securities, municipal bonds, etc., as are made available by the laws of the several States for savings banks. By this it is not intendead to loan in excess of 65 per cent of the par value, and nothing will be ac- cepted that has not been panic-tried and proven salable for cash on call. He sald he should, of course, determine each case by itself. He further saild he would ac- cept security of the class described above ‘for a portion of the deposit held by each bank now holding a Government deposit and release enouBl 2 per cent consols to cover any increased currency that the bank may desire to issue. He has recog- nized the possibility of present conditions, and therefore, as early as last July, com- menced printing currency preparatory to the needs of the banks to handle the in- creased business of the fall trade, and has on hand, ready to be delivered, an aggre- gate of about $25,000,000. This can be sent out at the probable rate of five millions a day if the banks desire to substitute the other security above designated for the release of the consols. This step was con- templated when, some months ago, he asked the banks holding Government de- posits to order additional currency print- ed. The BSecretary’'s additional relief, therefore, may be summed up as follows: INCREASED CIRCULATION. First—The release of practically thirty millions of reserve, which will permit the banks to increase their volume of busi- ness one hundred and thirty millions. Second—The substitution of other secu- rities for consols now held by the Govern- ment, on condition that the same shall be used as a basis for Increased circulation, which, if accepted by the banks, will im- mediately increase the volume twenty or twenty-five millions and will add thereto if needed. Third—The continuation of deposits to the limit allowed by law, accepting, if necessary, security other than Govern- ment bonds. Secretary Shaw will remain in New York to-morrow and expects to visit the financial district. VIENNA, Sept. 20.—The Allegemeine Zeitung to-day says it hears that the United States has applied to some of the largest financial institutions in Vienna to borrow a portion of their gold reserve, which owing to operations connected with ! the change of the monarchy’s monetary system to the gold standard, is very large. The cellars of the Austro-Hungarian Bank are said to contain American gold eagles amounting to from $10,000,000 to $15,000,000. The American bankers offer to repay the loans they ask with interest- bearing bills of exchange. This paper says the opinions of financiers are divided. | With regard to the advisability of acced- | ing to these requests from the TUnited States, it is asserted In some quarters that the profits of the transmission would not be adequate to the risk involved | should the amount borrowed prove insuf- | ficient to ease the New York money mar- ket and that unforeseen complications would ensue. | The case of the Barings is cited as a | warning, but in the meantime negotia- tions to effect the loans aré progressing.

BREAT TENNIS Wins Lowell High School Championship With- out Losing a Set. Eva Varney Is Victor in Ladies’ Handicap Singles at the Park. Two tennis tournaments were played on the local courts yesterday. On the park courts the ladies’ handicap singles was won by Miss Eva Varney, who downed the park champion, Miss Bertha Gardner, in the finals. On the California Club courts Alec Beyfuss carried off the hon- ors by winning the first championship of Lowell High School. In the latter event there were thirty entries and no defaults. Beyfuss, who was by far the smallest player in the tournament, disposed of his opponents without the loss of a set. The winner played a remarkably clever game for one so small. Arthur Jones, the next strongest player, was put out by Beyfuss in the finals. This match brought out the best tennis of the day. Beyfuss was much steadier than his opponent and was surer of his strokes. Twenty-five ladies entered the tourna- ment on the park courts. Miss Gardner and Miss Varney, playing from scratch, drew in opposite halves and as the handi- capper was not very liberal they met in the finals. Miss Gardner won the park championship a month ago, but many considered Miss Varney a stronger player. This fact was proved conciusively yester- day, for Miss Varney completely out- classed her opponent, who was able to get but one game in two sets.

BOSTON, Sept. 20.—John Fisher, head of the stock brokerage firm of J. M. Fisher & Co., pleaded guilty to-night to nine in- dictments charging him with defrauding customers by means of the United States mails. The case had entered upon the second week of its trial to-day and dur- ing its progress many witnesses had sworn to depositing money with him, for which they had never received the slight- est return. To-day’s testimony was cor- roborative of what had been given before. Fisher evidently realizing that a strong case had been made out against him changed his plea from “not guilty” to “guilty.” Fisher was then placed on the stand aud made a confession of fraud. He told without reservation how he and the for- mer driver of a laundry wagon, without a penny of capital, posed as bankers and brokers, and took from their dupes $285,- 00¢ in little more than a year. Before the | confession was concluded the examination was continued until to-morrow morning. Broken Rail Causes Wreck.
