TROOPS ENGAGE N MINIC WhA Spectacular Attack on Wagon Train at Fort Riley. Cavalrymen Charge and the Field Guns Roar in the Battle. FORT RILEY, Kans., Oct. 1—As & spectacle the military maneuvers of to- day would be difficult to equal; as an ob- Ject lesson to the officers of the National Guard, for which purpose it was carried out, it was full of instruction and sug- gestion upon points of actual war service which they could have obtained in no other way. The weather conditions were perfect, the men and horses refreshed by thelr day of rest after the heavy storm of Monday and the marching and attack and defense were full of snap and dash. Shorn of all military parlance, the maneuver was comprised in the effort to march an urgently needed wagon train through the enemy’s country. The de- fense of the wagon train was in charge of the Blues, under command of Colonel James M. J. Sanno of the Eighteenth In- fantry, and the attacking force, which endeavored to cut off and, cripple the train, was under the direction of Captain T. R. Rivers of the Fourth Cavalry, At the end of the maneuvers it was esti- mated that Captain Rivers had crippled about 85 to 40 per cent of the wagons, but he had suffered a heavy loss in ac- complishing that much of his task. He had in his command eight companies of cavalry, and, besides the usual losses in- cident to long range rifie and artillery fire, three of his eight companies were wiped off the map of the maneuvers by attempting to charge a strong line of in- fantry in position. The orders covering the day’s work gave the following as the general situation: PROGRAMME OF BATTLE. A Blue army, operating southwest from Salina, Kans., with headquarters at that point, receives its supplies from Topeka as a base. The rallroads are assumed to be broken up and supply by wagon train is rendered necessary. One of the trains conducting supplies from Topeka to the army has encamped at Ogden. A Brown raiding force has circled around the front of the Blue army and has appeared in the AMUSEMENTS. A NEW AND NOVEL SHOW.

The wagon train was divided into two divisions. The troops under Captain Rutherford rode out before the advance guard of the column, which was made up of thd First Battalion of the Sixth Infantry. To protect the flanks of the first division of the train two companies of the Sixth Infantry were thrown out on each side. The rear of the first division was guarded by one bat- talion of the Sixth Infantry, the Seventh Battery and one battalion of the Twenty- second Infantry. The latter regiment formed the rear guard of the column and provided the flankers for the second divi- sion. The wagon train was under the im- mediate command of Captain G. W. Mar- tin of the Eighteenth Infantry. Captain Rivers’ force consisted of Troops C, D, E. F. G and H of the Fourth Cavalry; the First Squadron of the Eighth Cavalry and one platoon of the Sixth Battery. It was assumed that there were 180 wagons in the train and that it was two miles in length. In real- ity there were eighty-six wagons in the line. The advance of the Blues began promptly at 9 o’clock and for nearly an hour pressed forward without any more interruption than was afforded by the na- tural features of the country. OPENING OF CONFLICT. At 10 o’clock a few scattering shots were heard in advance, telling that the skir- mishers of the Browns had collided with Rutherford’'s patrol. At 10:25 a squadron of the Brown cavalry appeared upon a crest 1500 yards from the leading wagons of the first division. Word was sent back and the Seventh Battery came dashing forward to get them. The officers in com- mand of the Browns dashed the men be- hind a slight eminence and sent them, one at a time, their horses on the dead rum, across 500 feet of open ground to the shel- ter of a high rise in the ground. The artillerymen lashed their horses to their utmost speed, the guns went whirling into position with a speed that excited wonder, but one minute befgre the artillery was ready for action the last Brown cavalry- man had dashed into safety and the dis- appointed artillerymen were forced to re- sume their march. This occurred on the left flank of the wagon traln advance and the battery passed over to the right, as the enemy ” WHEN YOU GET A GOOD THING - STICK TO IT.

This move, simple enough in itself, was the cause of the loss to the wagon train. The Seventh Battery had moved down a slight decline, when suddenly from a ridge 2000 yards away came a flash and a puff of white powder smoke. It was the platoon of the Sixth Battery in action for the Browns. They had an unobstructed shot at the train and fired with great rapidity. The Seventh Battery wheeled rapidly to protect the wagons, but was for a time unable to secure a good position. A num- ber of wagons were between them and the guns of the Browns, which steadily hammered away at the long line of wagons. Had the guns.been loaded, the destruction of wagons and animals must been very heavy. Disaster had come to the Browns also and nearly one-half of their command was out of the game. It was the Sec- ond Squadron of the Fourth Cavalry that had come to grief. Secing but a small force in front of them, they pressed in rapidly and forced the men of the Sixth Infantry to halt upon a low ridge to await the reinforcements.

SEALS MENNGE SILWON CATGH SEERS FREEDOM “Coyotes of the Deep,” Says Chief Deputy Vogelsang. GAIMNN'S WIFE A e Says Husband Treats Her in an Inhuman Manner. Believes in Thinning Out the Herds to Protect Fishermen. ks Sl “I favor the reduction of the seal herds because our experience and investigations have shown that they are the coyotes of the sea. They.are a menace to the fish industry of our coast, and who shall say that man is not better entitled to the fish than are the sea lions?” These are the words of Charles A. Vo- gelsang, chief deputy of the State Board ot Fish Commissioners, given to a Call reporter yesterday afternoon. Mr. Vo- gelsang, who is an authority on matters pertaining to the fish industry of Call- fornia, takes issue -with United States Fish Commissioner Bowers, who declared himself in a Call interview on Tuesday as opposed to the slaughter of sea llons, Mr, Vogelsang was emphatic in his oppo- sition to a wholesale slaughter of the lons., Indeed, he thought it would be a great ‘mistake to set about killing the animals indiscriminately. Nevertheless, he regarded it as a mtter of necessity to thin out the herds in order to protect the fish industry of the coast. He said: . Takis Dr. Jordan as an authority in the mlt(ex\n—‘md who will question this eminent gentleman’'s judgment, born of long years of cxperience and observation?—I believe the re- duction of the seal herds by two-thirds wouid make no appreciable decrease in the number of seals on the Seal Rocks. This commission has always borne in mind the fact that the sea lions are an attractive feature of our city and its environments. The rocks are visited by thousands of people annually, who journey—- some of them, at least—for the sole purpose of seeing the animals disport themselves onthese I know of no other place in the worid ook in the public where 8o many sea llons are view. NO LUST FOR KILLING. The State Fish Commission has never been actuated by a lust for killing sea lions. On the contrary, we have tried to protect the imals, so far as s consistent with the preserva- tion and propagation of the salmon industry. We have not indulged in a general seal slaugh- ter In two years, and even now there is no de- sire to ‘‘exterminate the seals,”’ as been charged. But we are charged with a duty, and the people of the State look to us to see that we do our duty. This duty is disagree- able to us, just as it would be to any one not of a bloodthirsty nature, but when it has been shown that these animals are a menace to one of the State’s industries, it .becomes our duty to remedy matters, so far as it lies in our power. California is spending thousands of dollars annually in the propagation of salmon, and the people are entitled to a return for their money. us from fishermen and canneries, and we have ‘Deen literally bombarded with petitions and requests to kill the sea lions on the ground that they are making rapld inroads on the salmon. The big fish dealers and the cannery owne: have even offered to contribute toward the ex- pense of thinning out the seals. Here Mr. Vogelsang turned to the last annual report of the State Fish Commis- sion and read the following extract from the president’s letter to the Governor;' The situation has become simply intolerable, It will not do tarsay that these animals have flourished from time immemorial. ~They are the coyotes of the deep, and are entitled to the same protection on this coast as is accorded to the wolves, the panthers and the wildcats of the great West and East. They are entitled to this protection, and none other. Mr. Vogelsang continued: ARE DELICATE FEEDERS. The greatest eufferer by the sea lion pest is the humble fisherman, who, in many instances, invests his all in a net, only to have it torn and rent and the fish which may have been caught in it devoured. As a general thing the sea lion I8 a very choice animal, in the matter of its food. _Instead of devouring the fish whole, it takes a bite from the belly, and, tossing the fish into the air, goes in quest of more. You can always tell when a herd of sea lions is following a school of salmon by the great flocks of sea gulls which follow in their wake, picking up the fish carcasses. In conclusion Mr. Vogelsang directed the reporter’s attention to page 33 of the State Fish Commission’s report, in which he had marked the following opinion of Dr. Charles H. Gilbert of Stanford: My knowledge of the fish-eating propensities of the California sea lion dates from 1880, when I assisted Dr. Jordan to take the census of the fisherles of the Pacific Coast. I had then a fairly extensive experience upon the fishing grounds in company with fishermen, and I be- came convinced, from my own observation and from conversations with these men, that the sea lion is enormously destructive of fish and fishing gear. I have seen these animals patrolling the gill nets. I have seen them eat- ing fish, and I have seen the holes in the nets, said to be caused by their tearing out the cap- tured fish. I am in favor of the reduction in the size .of the herds of the sea lions on the California coast, believing that such reduction will materially increase the fish supply in these waters. That such a reduction is feasible can hardly be doubted. It may in the long run be most advantageously secured through the re- duction of the pups and breeding females on their hauling grounds. MEMBERS OF THE COURT ARE SEVERELY SCORED General Hughes Criticizes Officers ‘Who Imposed $30 Penalty for Sleeping on Post. General Hughes yesterday issued a caustic criticism of the Presidio court- martial which recently sentenced W. R. Laughlin -of the Thirteenth Infantry to pay a fine of $30 for sleeping on his post. The offender will go free, and the court is dissolved. General Hughes’ order is in part as follows: The foregoing proceedings are not approved. The record was sent to these headquarters and returned to the court for correction. The court attempted to cure the error by a change in the original procecdings, which ‘was eradicating one error by the commmission of another. The court was further advised in returning the procecdings that a reconsideration of the sen- tence scemed advisable) but the court adhered to its original sentence of a fine of $10 a month for three months. The prisoner was found guilty of sleeping while important responsibili- ties were confided to him as a sentinel. The department commander believes that it s to the best interests of the service that the pris- oner should go unpunished for this grave of- fense rather than that he, as department com- mander, should become an abettor in lowering the high standard of ‘efficlency that must be required of sentinels if military organizations are to be maintained on that footing of excel- lence that guarantees success. —_—— The Kodak Machine.

The preliminary examination of Eugene Connelly, second assistant engineer of the American steamship Tremont, on a charge of beating and wounding Ventura Garay on the high seas, was begun yesterday afternoon before United States Court Commissioner Heacock. Garay appeared in court with a broken lower jaw and a blackened eye. The prosecution was con- ducted by First Assistant United States Attorney Banning and the defense was represented by Nathan Frank. Garay, through H. L. Bradford, Span- ish interpreter, testified that on Septem- ber 17, while the vessel was on her way from New York to this city, Connelly visited the fireroom, and, after com- plaining that Garay was not doing his work properly, knocked him down and beat him, breaking his jaw. The tes- timony was corroborated by Jose Solari and Innocencio Suarez, Spanish firemen. Connelly swore that on the morning of the trouble he went into the engine- room and found the fires so low in the furnaces in charge of Garay that the boiler was unable ‘“to make steam.” Con- nelly ordered Garay to take the “slice bar” and fix the fire. Garay became sulky and refused to obey the order, and when Connelly took hold of the bar Garay struck him on the forehead. Before the witness could defend himself Garay struck him again and jammed him up against the bulkhead. Then Connelly started in to defend himself and with assistance of Stephen E. Farrell, a coal- passer, dragged Garay to the chief en- gineer’s room, the Spaniard struggling and fighting all the way. The examination will he resumed Fri- day. —————————— Fire Chief Will Inspect Theaters. The draft of an ordinance for the better protection of theaters against fire was terday by Commissioner Hecht.

Two cases of gas asphyxiation were reported to the Morgue yesterday, both decedents being Japanese. The first was George Komoto, a student, 23 years old, who was assisting in housework In the residence of F. T. Kuranaga, merchant and labor agent for the Southern Pacific Company, at 1617 Fulton street. Komoto was employed last Friday. At 8 o'clock yesterday morning Mrs. Kuranaga no- ticed the odor of {lluminating gas pro- ceeding from Komoto’'s room. An inves- tigation followed and Komoto was found dead in bed, with the gas key partly turned on. The key of the gas bracket was léose, and it is believed that Komoto, not being famillar with gas fixtures, handled the key carelessly and turned the gas on again without being aware of it. The second decedent was G. Nagano, a laborer, who was found dead in bed in a lodging-house at 43 Sixth street. He died in the ambulance on the way to the Central Emergency Hospital. The key of the gas bracket was turned fully on and it is thought that Nagano “blew out the gas.” He was a recent arrival from Sac- ramenio. —_—— Elks’ Day at the Santa Rosa Street Fair.

CORONER INVESTIGATES THE DEATH OF PHELPS Jury Renders a Verdict Which Neither Exonerates Nor Blames Clarence Parker. Coroner Leland held several inquests yesterday, the most important of which were the cases of Carlos A. Phelps, who died September 25 as the result of a frac- tured jaw, and John Egan, a longshore- man, who was struck on the head by a coal bucket at Mission-street pler No. 2 on the same day. In the Phelps case the cause of death was given as fracture of the lower jaw. The verdict proceeds to say, “We are un- able to determine the relation of the blow received by tke deceased at the hands of one Clarence Parker to his (Phelps’) death.” In the case of John Egan the jury de- cided that death was “The result of an accident, and we desire to censure the employers of the deceased for extreme carelessness and disregard of human life in using unsafe appliances, and especially in continuing the use of such after the accident.” e —— Notice to Passengers.
