2 THE SAI; FRANCISCO C«LL, SATURDAY OCTOBER 25, 1302 JURY GONVIGTS A FANIOUS SGOUT Tom Horn Found Guilty of Murdering a Boy. Accused Man's Retraction of Confession Has No Effect. CHEYENNE, Wyo., Oct. 24.—Tom Horn, the famous scout and stock detective, was this evening found ‘guilty of murder the first degree. The trial of Horn for the murder of Willie Nickell, 18 years old, .son of Kels | Nickell, on July 18, 101, at his father's | ranch in the Iron Mountain country, was un October 1. The arguments were | shed and the case given to the jury at | 1:% o'clock to-day. The verdict was reached before § o'clock this evenigg. The claim of the prosecution was that i Horn, in thé pay of certain large cattle | owners, killed the Nickell boy in an ef- | fort to frighten his father and cause him to leave the country.

Ethel and Arncld Grazer appeared in specialties and made quite a hit. Be- lasco and Thall contributed four of the | | cleverest members of their Central The- ater stock company. They appeared a charming little playlet, entitled “Loved and Lost.” The cast was as follows: Captain Palliser, who loved, Thomas Keirns; Mrs. Bellringer, who has lost, Georgie Cooper; Mr. Parsons, who Is a lawyer, Henry Schumer, and Parkinson. who is necessary to the plot, Florence Chapman. The playlet developed the fact that both Keirns and Miss Cooper, are particularly adapted for a successful ca- reer on the vaudeville stage. As the programme was ynusually long some of the numbers were dispensed with. The Callfornia and Columbia theaters ccntributed several numbers that would have certainly proved interesting had they not been cut out owing to a lack of time. .The music was furnished by Ros- rer's orchestra.. THANKS THE AUDIENCE. At “the conclusion of the performance the Rev. Father Philip O'Ryan, spirftual director of the League of the Cross, ap- peared on the stage and in a neat little speech thanked every one who had con- tributed to the success of the entertain- ment.

The members of the “Cabi- net,” that mysterious organization headed ny James H. O'Brien, and in which are | errolled some of the best-known politi- | clans in-California, occupied two of the boxes. Alfred J. Fritz, candidate for Su. perior Judge on the Democratic ticket, ind a few of his friends sat in a box, Zor which Judge Fritz paid the sum of §200 just to help the building fund of the league along. Livingstorn Jenks, also a candidate for Superior Judge, pald a ome sum for another box, which nd his friends occupied. Altogether it was a great day at the Orpheum; the building fimd of the league was increased sumething like $3500 and those who at- tended the benefit saw one of the best performances ever given in this city.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24—The annual report to the Secretary of the Navy of Rear Admiral George Melville, chief of the Bgreau of Steam Engineering, is of | unusual interest this year. Melville says | with the greatest frankness that the per. sonnel act has proved to be a failure as it Is aaministered and he declares that one- half of the officers of the navy have yet to be -cenvinced of the benefits of amalga- mation. To use his-own words in refer- ring to the personnel act: “It was rather a revolutfon than a pro- | gression in naval development when Con- | gress enacted a law whereby every naval | officer of the line had, in future, to be- | come a fighting engineer.” European exverts declared that either their own navies were not properly or-| ganized or that the United States had | made a mistake from which it would not Tecover for at Jeast twenty years. Still, were administered with a desire to make | it a success it would give the most effi- clent navy in the world. To that end he wants an engineering laboratory at An- napolis like that at Charlottenburg, Ger- many, for experimentation and the edu- cation fn engineering of young line offi- cers. He also asks the establishment of a post graduate course in engineering at the Academy; the detail of a junior line offi- | cer as understudy to engineer, officers on shore duty, such junior officers to be placed in charge of the machinery of tor- { pedo boats and auxiliary craft; that pro- motion be denied line officers who do not take their turn at engineering work: that graduates of the technical colleges be per- mitted a chance to compete for naval commissions; that 100 additional warrant officers . he appointed; that naval train- ing be had at every naval station; that the pay of the boilermen be increased, and finally that the name of the Bureau of Stecam Engineering be'changed that of Engineering and that it be given charg of all machinery on shipboard except thal pertaining to the guns. PETROLEUM ON SHIPS. The proposed use of petroleum as a sub- “Stitute for coal on shipboard is treated at length and in such detail as thoroughly to meet the imnumerable demands that have come to the Navy Department for the special information .obtained by the engineering board, composed of Lieuten- ant, Commanders Edwards, Parks and Bailey. For months this-board has been working with a big 2000-horsepower boiler on the water front in this city testing a | multitude of oil-burning devices and thei greatest manufacturing concerns in the | United States and even abroad have been seeking to learn the results of the board's work. Following is an extract from the report on this subject: The more this question is dovestigated the more intricate seems the probMm of success- fully installing an ofl fuel appliance on board a battleship. It ought to be successtully used on the torpdo boats, as well as upon auxiliary naval vessels that steam between regular pOPts. For the army transport service it might prove very desirable, since a supply of oll could be maintained, at. the several call ports, In regard to the installation on the large- powered battleships ‘and armpred crujgers there are three distinct . feat considered, viz.: the mechanical, commercial and structural. Regarded from two of these view, points, it seems as if it would be some time’ before ‘‘couling ship'" cemses to be an evolution upon the war .vessel. Whlle both the navel and mercantile vessels traverse the ocean, there 18 a wide difference in their con- struction, as well as in the nature of the duty performed, and this must be taken Into ac- count in designing the motive plant. The first line of. inquiry by the board was the engineering, or mechanical feature, in- volving the possibility of successfully burning ofl for steam purposes, and it is said that this probiem is nearing solution. It has been found necessary to atomize the-oil (it cannot be com- pletely gasified) instead of using it without pressure. The air blast should be heated by some simple device. If this be done properly, | which . must be tent asscoal, very esséptial for naval uses. COST OF THE OIL. Treating -of the commercial aspects of the question, the report makes the fol- lowing important statements: It may be regarded as a certainty that; ox- cept where unusual conditions prevail, the cost of ol for marine purposes will generally be greater than that of coal. The cost may be | less for vessels departing from the Gulf and California seaports, but the rule will hold slse- where. While the question of cost skould be of secondary Importance In naval matters, it must be taken into consideration. It is the expense of transnortation that will always pre- vent oil from being a cheap combustible. While it may be put on the tank steamers very cheaply at ports like Point Sabine, its com- mercial value will be determined by the cost of delivery at commercial and maritime centers, It is then shown that it must be more expensive and difficult to store ofl than coal and that the fumes are dangerous in places like the small bunkers and double- bottom spaces aboard ship, where, being heavy, they cannot easily be blown away. But, in spite. of these and other objec- tions, the report says: The bureau has no hesitation, however, in declaring that in view of the results alréady secured by the liquid fuel board, an installa- tion should be effected without delay on at least 8 third of the torpedo boats and. destroyers. The junior officers of the service are very much interested in the matter, and if several 0ats are provided entirely with oll fuel appli- arces, a spirited and keen but friendly rivairy Will' be created which will resuit i a ma- terial increase in the etficlency of the torpedo boat flotilla, ~ Such an installation would also permit a competition to be established between the hoats using coal and those using ofl and this would be another incentive to cause sys- tematic and careful study of the subject upon the part of all connected with the torpedo fleet. By way of encouraging the advocates of ofl further, the report points out that the structural disadvantages that may prove so serious in the case of the navy would not be encountered in shore plants, which also could easily maintain reserve supplies of the liquid fuel. Finally, sum- ming up the results of the important shore experiments made tn Washington, the report concludes the treatment of this subject as follows: CONCLUSIONS OF BOARD. A—That ofl can be burned in a very uni- form manher. B——Thn:?:hq evaporative officlency of nedrly every kind of oil per pound of combustible is probably the same. While the crude oil may be rich in hydrocarbons it also con‘ains sul- phur o that, after refining, the distilled ofl has probably’ the same calorific valus as the crude produet, C—That a marine steam generator can be forced to even as high a degree with oll as with coal, I D—That up to the present time no fil effects have been shown upon the boller. E—That the firemen are disposed to favor ofl and therefore no impediment will bs met in_this respect. F—That the air requisite should be heated if possible before entering the turnace. Such activn.undoubtealy assis.s the gasification of the oil yroduct. G—That the ail should be heated so that it could be atomized more readily. H—That when using steam higher pressures are undoubtedly more advantageous than low- er_pressure for atomizing the oil. t under ‘heavy forced draught condi- Hons, and particularly when steam is used, the board has not yet found it possible to pre. vent smoke from issuing from the stack, al- though all connected with the tests made spe- clal efforts to secure complete combustion. Par. Heularly for naval purposes is it desirable that the smoke nuisance be eradicated in or- der that the presence of warships might not be detected from this cause, J—That the consumption of liquid fuel can- Dot probably be forced to as great an extent With steam as the atomizing agent as when compressed air is used for this purpose, This is probebly dus to the fact.that,the air used for combustion Admiral.

REDDING, Oct. 24.—Samuel Etter, who, with Joseph Billingsly, léft Redding last week for an oil prospecting tour through southern Modoc County, came near losing his life last Friday. He is now lying in a miner’s gabin on-a braneh of Pit River, near Adin, suffering from imnjuries he re- ceived in an 800-foot tumble from a moun- tain grade. Etter and Billingsly “outfitted”” in this city. Their ‘outfit consisted of two riding horses, two pack burros and supplies to | last all winter. As they were crawling up a narrow grade on the mountainside overlooking the fork of Pit River the earth gave way and -Etter, horse, burro and outfit slid down the mountainside. His horse was caught in a brush heap nearly half-way down, but Etter, his | burro and the supplies rolled clear to the bottom, bumping against many a big rock and boulder during the descent. Billingsly started to the rescue. On ac- count of the sheer descent of the moun- tain he was compelled to,go around four miles to get where his partner lay bleed | ing on the bed of the creek below. He ex- | pected to find Etter dead. When he regched the-spot where the outfit landed he found supplies scattered in all direc- | tions. Etter was badly injured and the burro was dead. Billingsly succeeded in getting Etter back on the grade and then spent an hour rescuing the horse. The injured man was made as comfort- able as possible in a miner's cabin and Billingsly rode to the“raliroad and took | the train to Sacramento, where Etter's folks reside. He returned to Redding te- Aay and started on horseback for his partner’s bedside. He took another load of supplies and as soon as Etter recovers | they will continue their journey. | SAN FRANCISCANS BACK FROM THE NOME DISTRICT Steamship St. Paul Lands at Seattle With Miners and Their Treasure.
