Salazar Protests and Accuses America of Breaking Faith R Naval Commander Answers That He Is Simply Obeying His In- structions From Wash- ington. PANAMA, Oct. 5.—After the conference last week by General Salazar, Gov- Colombian forces on the istimus and Commander McLean of the United States cruiser Cincinnati, no further difliculties were feared, for it was believed that Ger al Salazar was satisfied that the land- of American marines on the isthmus ad for its only object the maintenance f free railroad transit between Panama and Colon. The arrival at Colon of Rear Admiral Casey on the battleship Wiscon- however, has quite changed the #it- von. It now appears that the instruc- brought by Rear Admiral Casey, the transportation of armed armed military employes of the ent or of war material of any e Panama Railroad, unless by permission, may result in serious ations. At a conference with Admiral Casey vesterday on board thé Wiscensin, Gen- Jazar said that the United Staes, according to the convention of 1846, had contracted two inseparable obligations, namely: To guarantee positively and ef- ficaciously free transit across the isth- mus, and to guarantee in the same man- ner the rights of soyereignty and proper- ty which Colombia possesses over the isthmian territory. if the Colombian Government were not allowed to ort its troops and material by over the isthmus, rail not would the United States not fulfill second obligation, but it attacked Col- ombia’s rights of sovereignty and ed all principles of morality and jus- that he, as the representative of hation and Government, could not pt such an interpretation of the con- and against which he must ener- lly protest. vernor Salazar said that an inter- pretation of the convention of 1846, which did not permit Colombia to transport its troops and war materials over the isth- nian railroad, constructed on its own ter- while allowing other nations, and 1 those openly aiding the revolution, war material over this rail- r the protection of must necessarily be entirely er- roneous. To General Salazar Admiral Casey an- swered that he was complying with in- jons received. He also said that he consult with Washington and see It is what could be done in the matter. the general impression.in Colombian cir- | cles here that Admiral Casey has misin- terpreted his instructions. It is consid- ered fortunate that General Salazar has acted prudently in this matter, and that cordial personal relations exist between him and Admiral Casey, as the facts may toward preventing the very seri- ations which are now believed be immin It is believed by Colom- here unless the Washington that authorities send instructions to their rep- | resentatives on the isthmus which do not ve the appearance of attacking the sov- ere:gn rights of Colombian be sn adverse FIGHTING AT SANTA MARTA.

ANSWER IT HONESTLY Are the Statements of San Francisco Citizsens Not More Reliable Than These of Utter Strangers? This is a vital question. It is fraught with interest to San Fran- isco, It permits of only one answer. It cannot be evaded or ignored. A Ban Francisco citizen speaks here. Speaks for the welfare of San Fran- cisco. A citizen's statement is reliable. An utter stranger’s doubtful. Home proof is the best proof. Andrew Dahl, longshoreman, of 20 Fed- eral street, says: “When a man has had bzckache for four or five years, some of the attacks being so pronounced, particu- 12 when he caught cold, that it was a dificult matter to perform a day’s work with any degree of ease, that man knows what backache is.

They Are Accused of Selling Their Votes on the City Lighting Bill S8T. LOUIS, Oct. 5—The June Grand Jury, which has been in session continu- ously since it was called into being, has made its final report and has been dis- charged. No written or verbal communi- cation accompanied the report. Of the five indictments handed in, four related to criminal cases other than brl- bery. The other indictment contains | three counts in which sixteen members of | the Municipal Assembly combine are | jointly charged with bribery. The men accused are John A.

A. Stassforth of Los Angeles, Who Was Recently Divorced, Is to Wed Again. RACINE, Wis, Oct. 5.—The engage- | ment of Dr. Robert Kitto of this city to Mrs. O. A. Stassforth of Los Angeles, Cal., has been announced. Dr. Kitto is a widower and Mrs. Stassforth was re- cently divorced from her husband at Los | Angeles on the ground of cruel and inhu- | man treatment. Stassforth is reputed to | be worth $100,000, and it is said that Mrs. | Stassforth received $50,000. | Kitto had been her attending physician | before marriage and after. When the divorce was obtained her nervous system | was completely shattered and she has- | tened to Racine and was soon under the care of Dr. Kitto. A mutual attachment | sprang up and ripened into love, and now the announcement of an engagement is | heard. The ceremony was to have been | performed October 15, but owing to the | serfous sickness of Mrs. Stassforth a postponement mag be necessary. Dr. Kitto will dispose¥of his business and expects to live in Los Angeles in the pa- | latial home of Mrs. Stassforth. | When quite a young man the doctor | married. It was not a happy union and | separation followed. At New Orleans he was taken sick. His divorced wife was notified and started for the side of the doctor.

His friends say he will be, | and they base their confidence upon the | action of the board of trustees In reject- ing Dr. Dawson’s bond and granting Law- | lor’s plea for an official inquiry. The dis- tinet partiality shown oy three members | of the board—Messrs. Leland, Lyons and Gould—toward Dr. Lawlor at the meeting in Eldridge Saturday, and the decision of a majority of the board to sit throughout | the current week and hear the superin- tendent’s defense of the accusations against him, strengthen the belief of his | Supporters. > i In affording the superintendent an op- jwortunity to answer accusations, which { have never come to the notice of the | board in any cfiicial manner, the board of trustees veered a long way from their course. There are not now and, as a mat- ter of fact, there never, have been, any charges of cruelty, mismanagement, neg- lect or anything else agamst Dr. Lawlor laid before the board 6f truste None of the many accusations hurled at him has ever lodged before the trustees. WITNESSES FOR DEFENSE. This being true, it is asked, what is ‘lhere to investigate? Surely, the board | has nothing in official form before it, and | when Dr. Lawlor begins his defense to- | morrow it will first be necessary for him- self or his attorney tv bulld' a man of | straw, in order that he may be permitted | to knock it down. He will have an array of witnesses on hand, most of them em- ployes of the institution, to testify in his behalf. It is by no means certain that witnesses will be brought to controvert the statements of Lawlor's men, although | Colonel Harrington, 6ue of the members of the board, asserted confidently that he would bring evidence to substantiate the | accusations against the superintendent. If | this should be done it is likely the inves- tigation will continue throughout the week. ‘When the board convenes on Tuesday at the institution Dr. Dawson, the super- intendent elected to succeed Dr. Lawlor, will present his bond, which the board on Saturday required to be signed by a sur- | ety company. One of the three members | favorable to Lawlor will move that the acceptance of the bond be deferred until the Lawlor investigation is concluded. A spirited controversy is expected when this motion is made. Colonel Harrington, {a bitter anti-Lawlor man, will insist | upon the immediate approval of the bond. | Rev. Dr. Bane, another anti-Lawlor | member, will take a similar stand. Presi- { dent Gould will probably act as spokes- ! man for the other members and appeal | for a postponement. All this, however, | will be a mere matter of form, because the Lawlor men are certain of carrylng their point. If the matter is brought to | a vote the question of immediate accept- | ance will be defeated by a vote of 3 to 2, on the same alignment which rejected the bond on last Saturday. PROGRAMME: ARRANGED. | | After this the programme is to permit | the Investigation to proceed without de- i | | | | { lay. Every facility will be afforded Law- lor for defense. He has fortified himself with a shrewd attorney, who is now at the Home familiarizing himself with the details of the case that are expected to develop at the investigation.

Bane Says Shocking State of Exists at Home---“Institution Crowded With Insane People Who HE Rev. A. C. Bane had this to say yesterday regarding the pres- ent condition of affairs at the Glen Ellen Home for Feeble Minded Children: It is high time that some business-like methods were interjected into the conduct of the State Home for Feeble-Minded Children. A shocking state of affalrs exists at this home. The institution founded, as I understand it, for the care and training of feeble-minded children, has become the asylum for male and female adults who do not properly belong there. Some of them should be in the insane institutions, while others would be at home in the reformatory. The institution is crowdéd far in excess of its capacity, and no effort has been made to relfeve the congestion. For instance, 1 am informed by a reliable person that of the 570 inmates there are 130 men in the institution who have to be shav- ed weekly. Do children require shaving? If this be a home for fecble-minded children why are adults there? I am told, moregver, that there arc persons mearly 60 years ?Bse har- bored there at State expense. hy this? There are on file now at the institution more than 300 applications for admission to the home, which cannot be granted because the In- stituticn is_overcrowded and this overcrowd- S Affai Do Not Belong There” is filled up with people who do not properly belong there under the law. Another thing, there is no school at this | home, because, as I understand, there are no | funds with which to pay the teachers. School | was discontinued in May last, at which time there were 200 pupils, all capable of being taught, all anxious for learning. They are | now idle, because there is no school. Some of the women who acted as teachers are now do- ing kitchen work, others are waltresses, work- ing for $30 ver month. The achoolroom has been turned into a dormitory Bndglen though an appropriation were made for the teachers, there would be no place to barbor the pupils. This is indeed a deplorable condition of things. It is a shame, a diszrace and a blot upon the falr fame of the State. Surely, the State of Californa is not so poor that it can- | not take care of its weak-minded children. I know: of no other State in the Unfon where be permitted to exist. The | officers of the home inform me that they have made appeals, time and again, for more funds, but the Legislature has repeatedly de- nied them relief. I shall do what little lies in my power to right this wrong, but the great burden of responsibility rests with the Legis- lature. I trust we will elect enough broad- minded, liberal-spirited men to the Legislature | this fail to vote a little more of the people's money to the maintenance of a respectable institution for the feeble-minded. | such things would ing is palpably due to the fact that the asylum - Colonel Harrington produce any wit- nesses an attempt will be made by Law- lor's attorney to tear their testimony into shreds. Lawlor's friends claim he will be able to completely vindicate himself. If this be done, the plan is for Lawlor's counsel to take the floor at the conclu- sion of the investigation, and, summing up the testimony, make a passionate ap- peal for the retention of the superintend- ent on the ground that his administration ERENCE PLANS MEANS OF Continued From Page 1, Column 3. the President. When those who were to participate arrived at the White House |in a drizzling rain they found Surgeon General Rixey of the navy and Dr. Lung, {the President’s physician, aiready. there | making the morning call on the distin- | guished patfent. This caused a delay of a few minutes. When the two physicians left it was reported that the President's condition was progressing satisfactorily and that there were no untoward develop- | ments. Expressing his views at the outset of | the conference, the President talked earn- | estly and with deep feeling. His voice at | times could be heard down stairs. Sev- eral times during the conference Secre- tary Cortelyou was summoned into the | rocom and directed to prepare certain mat- | ters for the consideration of the Presi- dent and of his advisers. This was taken to indicate that some action of one na- ture or another was about to be consum- mated. X ‘When the conference adjourned, a few minutes before 1 o’clock, all those who had joined in it declined to talk. Every member of the Cabinet and Colonel ‘Wright was pledged by the President to absolute secrecy as to what had occurred within the conference room. The utmost efforts were made to guard against publicity. Even the Presidential summons to the conference had been made in a very quiet and carefully guard- ed way. Not since the Spanish war has there been such reticence shown at a con- ference of this character as was observed to-day. APPEAL TO THE MINERS. In this state of absolute reticence on the part of the parties to the conference it is almost impossible to do more than draw the most general of conclusions as to the nature of the proceedings, based upon what preceded the meeting. The known facts are that the President has reached the conclusion that he has noth- ing to expect save refusal from a further appeal to the coal operators, and there- fore has decided to look for relief from the situation to the miners’ side. He feels that he hardly can expect the miners to make the sacrifice of all of their conten- tions without holding out at least a prom- ise of some return, and the question be- fore him is as to his ability to do this. He can pledge himself to appeal to Con- gress to examine into the justice of the miners’ complaints and remedy them as far as lies in the power of the legislative branch, backed by the earnest good will of the executive. Also he can suggest to Governor Stone of Pennsylvania that he cause the Pennsylvania Legislature like- wise to make an inquiry, perhaps hasten- ing the usual methods by calling an ex- tra session. But these pledges would be given only on condition that the men go at once into the mines and get out with all speed the coal for which the people are suffering. To adopt this course means the con- tinuance of the policy of éxerting moral suasion to end the strike. It is certain that thus far the President has not found a single one of his advisers who could suggest any departure from this policy; no one could find a method sanctioned by law or the constitution which promised relief and involved the use of duress against either the operators or the min- ers. TWO PROPOSALS DRAWN UP. So It is believed that to-day's confer- ence was called by the President with the purpose of putting into exact shape the details of a plan conserved in its rough outlines even before the departure of President. Mitchell last Friday. The three hours spent in consultation to-day were none too long to put into form the two propositions, one to the miners’ organiza- tion and the other to Governor Stone. The fact that Secretary Cortelyou was called on to prepare one or more statements it the direction of the President is taken as an indication that messages were sent out at the end of the conference to-day and that the reticence of all parties is ex- plainabie, perhaps, by their desire to avoid the discourtesy of publishing the nature of these before they are received by the persons to whom they are ad- dressed, as well as by a wish to escape the complication of the negotiations by Leated public discussion at this stage. That the parties to the conference feel that they have accomplished something was made evident by the expressed be- lef of one of the conferees that the min- ers soon would be again at work. One object of the conference was to consider some of the propositions that have been made to the President~for set- tling the strike. These come from every section of the country, and a large pro- portion from men of standing and repu- tation. At the same time it is sald that the suggestions often are absurd and im- practicable. Others offering a possible solution have received attention. Two constantly recurring propositions for Federal interference, one that United States troops be sent into Pennsylvania for the protection of the men the oper- ators employ, and the other that the mines be seized by the General Govern- ment, are rejected, no matter by whom offered. The first conference developed the fact that no Federal interference by force was possible, and to that conclusion the President holds firmly. Some of the impracticable propositions made are of- fers to lease coal mines in other sections of the country to the Government so that it may supply coal to the people. ey s SUMMARY OF SITUATION. WILKESBARRE, Pa., Oct. 5.—The be- ginning of the twenty-second week of the strike shows no material change in the situation. The operators told President Roosevelt on Friday that 17,000 men were at work and that 15 per cent of the nor- mal production was being -mined. Presi- dent Mitchell to-day denied that such a number of men were mining coal. He said the operators were including in the 17,000 all the engineers, firemen and pump runners (of whom there are about 9000), fire bosses, clerks and other employes. He also denied that 15 per cent of the normal production was being sent to market, and said if the statement was true “the oper- ators owe it to the public to sell coal at rices ‘While the superintendents hereabout o there being no reasons for his dismissal he should be permitted to withdraw his resignation and remain at the head of the institution. Just how this programme will work remains to be seen. Every indication; however, points to the belief that the three men—Messrs. Lyons, Leland and | Gould—who stood by Lawlor in the first skirmish on Saturday, will stick to him to the end, and that their votes will be ENDING THE STRIKE L will not talk of future plans there is an impression among citizens generally that a strong effort will be made this week by the coal companies to resume operations. The officials of these companies have all along maintained that men are ready to return to work but feared personal vio- lextce. Mitchell says he has no apprehension of the strikers breaking away. He declares the companies are keeping a constant pressure on the workers to return, but without success. At Drifton, he said, the coal company officials had made a can- vass of that community and found only one boy, the son of a non-union man, who was willing to return. Mitchell sald he received this report from there to-day. A telegram was received at strike head- quarters to-day, announcing that the| strike of the employes of the Kanawha | and Hocking Valley Coal Company, in- volving between 5000 and 6000 men, in | ‘West Virginla had ended satisfactorily to both sides. The men will receive their pay monthly, will be granted a nine-hour day, will be paid at the rate of 2000 pounds 1o the ton, will have the right to employ thelr own check weighmen and will not be compelled to deal at company stores. The Washington conference between President Roosevelt, the coal operalors and representatives of the anthracite coal workers having been without resuit, the strike leaders are now engaged in tightening their 'lines and preparing to combat any movement by the operators to break their ranks. sy L AL PROFFER OF COAL LANDS. NEW YOREK, Oct. 5.—Another offer of coal lands has been \made to President Roosevelt to relleve a possible coal fam- ine. Mrs. Johanna C. Samuels, formerly of Nashville, Tenn., and Washington, D. C., but who has been in New York for several months, has written to the Presi- dent offering him a tract of mining land in Kentucky, to be mined by the Govern- ment without compensation to the donor during the continuance of the strike. Mrs. Samuels said'to a reporter to-day: “I am making the offer simply because the property is idle. It is of no expense to me at the present time, and I would be at no loss if a quantity of coal were mined. I do not ask one cent from the Government or any favors. I will leave the arrangements of all details entirely to ! the President and let him do as he sees fit.” B RELIEF IS IN SIGHT. CINCINNATI, Oct. 5.—It is expected that the coal famine will be relieved here during the coming week by the present rise in the Ohio River, which will bring an abundance of fuel from Pennsylvania, ‘West Virginia_and Ohio. Coal fleets in the Kanawha River and at Pittsburg are ready to move as soon as the stage of the river is such as to them to points on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. Navi- gation was partly resumed to-day. The large packets of the Big Sandy Company WAR VETERANS D OF THE GLEN ELLEN HOME| AT WASHINETON Grand Army Encamp- ment Begins at the Capital To-Day.

On Thursday, Friday and Saturday will occur the meetings of the National En- campment and the various auxiliary bodies and also reunions and receptions. A fitting preliminary to the gatherings of the veterans at Camp Roosevelt dur- ing ercampment week was the holding of religious services this afternoon and to-night in Grant tent. The rain inter- fered with the attendance, yet many vet- erans were present. To-night the exercises were under the direction of the Young Men’'s Christian Association. This morning, Commander- in-Chief Torrance and members of his staff attended religious services at the New York-avenue Presbyterian Church. They occupied the President Lincoln pew. This afternoon they were the guests of Mrs. John A. Logan at a dinner. President Roosevelt will not reMew the parade of the G. A.

The official statement Issued last night that he would have to exercise extreme care indicated that it would be impossible for him to review the veterans, and the direct statement that he will not do so | was made on official authority to-day. His physicians have forbidden him against overtaxing his strength as he has done in the past. ——— MAYOR GIVES FREE FUEL. BOUND BROOK, N. I, Oct. 5.—Mayor Drake of Lincoln, N. J., who is also presi- dent of a real estate company, to-day of- fered free of charge fo the residents of Lincoln three acres of standing hardwood ! timber owned by the com:any and situ- ated on the outskirts of the village. The only condition is that the timber must be cut down, cut into cordwood lengths and stacked. Then it will be distributed to the townspeople. The offer was at once accepted, almost every family providing at least one worker, and by afternoon the cutting of the trees was begun. There are 300 inhab- itants in the village, and it is figured that there is enough wood in the tract to do them for the winter should it become necessary to keep up its consumption. The same company owns five acres of woodland In the Thirteenth Ward of Trenton and another tract near Plain- field. Drake announced that the timber on these tracts would be given to ,the poor of the cities mentioned. g P S e ) SHOOTS TOWARD SOLDIERS. SCRANTON, Pa., Oct. 5.—Just before daybreak this morning a squad of Thir- teenth Regiment men stationed near the Grassy Island colllery came across an Itallan striker named Giuseppe Papriello prowling about the outpost with a shot- gun. He fired in the direction in which the soldiers were approaching, afterward alleging he was shooting at a bird. Colonel Watres had received informa- tion that Papriello was receiving arms and ammunition, and this evening a de- tachment of two companies was sent to his house. The soldiers found there 1200 rounds of shells for shotguns. No arms were found. Papriello was turned over to Sheriff Schadt. Twice during last night sentries about the Thirteenth camp were stoned, and early in the evening a train bearing troops from Oliphant to Birdseye encoun- tered a pile of r and a fellel tree across the tracks. ey Declares for Arbitration. PITTSBURG, Oct. 5.—The Avenue The- ater was crowded this afterncon by an audience composed mostly of organized workmen who had assembled to listen to President John Mitchell and Secretary ‘Wilson of the Miners’ Union present the anthracite strikers’ cause. Mitchell was unable to be present, but Secretary Wil- son made a rousing address. Several other speeches were mada by local resi- dents, and the sentiment that predom- inated was “arbitration.” Strong resolu- tions were adopted condemning the stub- born stand taken by the operators and their treatment of President Roosevelt's voluntary effort to bring the strike to n..‘ peaceful conclusioh. ——— Twenty-Eight Cars Wrecked. GENEVA, Oct. 5.—A meeting of the striking employes of thé street car lines led to serious rioting. Twenty-eight cars were wrecked, and the police had diffi- culty in restoring order.

JCKS FEARS HE 15 SOUGHT BY ASSAGSINS Millionaire of Monterey County Causes an Arrest. Dispossessed Landholder, He Says, Attempted to Kill Him. | —_— Sensational Story Told About an Ad- venture on a Dark Street of the Town and Screams That Brought Assistance. pEEL LS L SALINAS, Oct. 5.—David Jacks, the pioneer who owns something like 90,000 acres of land in Monterey County, and whose famous suits to obtain possession of Monterey city’s outside land long ago \'made him prominent throughout the | county, claims to be in danger of assas- | sination by a dispossessed land holder, and last night he had the person arrested, Jacks declares that last Friday the ac- i cused man: a well-known rancher of | Monterey named K. M. Hennekin, who, | under a recent decision of Judge Dorn, is about to be thrown out of his house | and land in Canyada Segunda on which | he resided since 188, engaged him In | conversation and asked him to take a ride in a bugsy. ‘While in an unfrequented portion of’ ! the city of Monterey, Hennekin, Jacks says, drew a pistol from one pocket and a deed from the other and said: “If you don't sign this deed I will kiil you. You are a perjurer and I'll kill you. The county is not large enough to hold both of us.” Jacks, who is over 0 years old, be- came frightened and screamed for help. The scream was heard by Captain T. G. Lambert, who hastened to the scene. He found Hennekin laboring under great ex- citement and Jacks almost senseless from fright. Lambert tock Jacks with him and made Hennekin promise not to molest him. Jacks swears that Hennekin drew a pis- | tol, but Lambert states that when he ar- rived he saw no pistol in Hennekin's hand and found none on his person. The case will come up Monday for hearing in Salinas. ADVERTISEMENTS. BACK Excursion October 7 and 8. CHICAGO AND BACK . .. $72.50 ST. LOUIS AND BACK... 67.50 ST.
