Ander- son, a well-dressed young man who is wanted in San Francisco on four charges of forgery, passed bogus checks on four Los Angeles grocers within an hour to- night while Detectives Taylor of San Fran- cisco and Auble of this, city were looking for him. Returning to his hotel, Ander- son was arrested by Detective Ritch, and while on the way to jail made a break for liberty. He dashed down Broadway through a crowd, closely followed by the officers, who, as soon as they reached a clear place, began shooting at him. Five shots were fired and one passed through the fugitive's leg, idar the ankle. Despite his wound he continued to run, but after covering several blocks his strength failed and he fell to the side- walk, unable to rise. He was then hand- cuffed and taken to jail. Taylor arrived here this afternoon and gave the detectives a description of the man he wanted and three officers were sént out to find him. They learned that Anderson was staying at Hotel Nadeau and left word with the hotel clerk to notify police headquarters if he came in. The officers then began searching for him on the streets. About that time W. T. Edwards, a grocer, reported that a young man had passed a bogus check on him. Investigation showed that a man was going south on Spring street passing checks at every grocery which would honor his paper. He invariably presented a check for 320, ordered a bill of goods and received the balance in cash, order- ing the goods delivered to a house on Pico street. Something in his manner caused Edwards to become suspicious and He called up two other grocers and soor learned that they, too, had been victimized. The detectives were unable to find the man, for they did not then know thatshe was the one for whom the other officers were searching. While tiiey were warn- ing the grocers, the forger returned to his hotel and Ritch was summoned to arrest him. The shooting followed. In the City Jaii the prisoner was identi- fied as the man who had swindled the grocers. Inasmuch as he was arrested on the warrant brought heré by Taylor, the prisoner will be sent to San Francisco for trial. If he escape conviction there he will be returned to Los Angeles and pros- ecuted. CALIFORNIANS IN NEW YORK. NEW YORK, Nov. 15.—The following Californians have arrived: San Francisco —W. Thomas, P.

BISBEE, Ariz., Nov. 15.—Samuel Pop- povich, a miner, met a tragic death at 9 o'clock this morning by beihg caught in belting and crushed by massive drive wheels. He was employed as an oller at the smelters, and while at that work his clothes were caught by a bolt of one of the large drive wheels, which hurled him to the top of the building with great force, rendering him unconscious. His body fell back on the belting and was crushed between the belt and wheel. When Poppovich was first caught he cried for assistance, and the workmen in the room rushed to the spot just in time to see him crushed by the cruel wheels, l;w’hue they had no power to assist or save m. LTS T EARTHQUAKE AT GUAM MAKES CRACKS IN EARTH Naval Governor Schroeder Asks for Money for the Relief of Sufferers. WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.—Commander Seaton Schroeder, Naval Governor of Guam, has reported to the department an earthquake that occurred there on Sep- tember 22. He says the shock, which lasted for two minutes and a half, was one of the most severe on record. It was accompanied by an appearance of cracks in the earth, from which water spouted and sulphurous gases belched. Inasmuch as the catastrophe occutred in the daytime there were few casualties. The principal shock was followed by fif- teén minor ones. Commander Schroeder requests $10,000 for relief work among the natives. Mascagni Resumes His Melody.

Few People Know How Useful It1s in Preserving Health and Beauty. Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is the safest and most efficient dmn} fectant and purifiér in nature, but few realize its value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing pur- pose. Charcoal is a remedy that the mor. take of it the better: it is not a 3r\‘i¢y:‘: all, but simply absorbs the gases and im- purities always present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system. g : Charcoal sweetens the breath after emoking, drinking or after eating onions a.rsih ntherlod&)m'us lw;egeltables. i arcoal effectually clears and impro the complexion, it whitens the l!efl"l’, a:?l. further, acts as a natural and eminently salfte c%thm‘;llc.th P absorbs e urious ses collect in the stomach and bofieu; i‘t' l:’i‘c!]f infects the mouth and throat from the P AssEoists. sall ch rug3 sell charcoal in 6ne or another, but probably the best c‘}?:-‘z coal and the most for the money is in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges.

Geizeea Special Dispatch to The Call. PASADENA, Nov. 15. — The oldest woman in Southern California, and, per- haps in the State, died yesterday at San Gabriel. Her relatives give her age as 17 years, but many of the old residents say that she was at least 120 years old. She was Senora Catalina Flores, a native ot Oregon, of Spanish descent. She had lived in California more than ninety years, having come here with a French- man who served in the war of 1812 and dled about fifty year$ ago. The woman had seven children, all of whom have been dead many years. She had three great-grandchildren living, who are well | g in life. They have a number of ren and at the funeral this after- ncon there were in attendance many of the fifth generation. Mrs. Flores was born four years before Gecrge Washington's death. She came here at the time of the great earthquake that destroyed the first San Gabriel Mis- glon, which was replaced by the present one. At that time the mission was lhel largdst inhabited place in all California, | its vast fields abounding in sheep, cattle and horses, all under the charge of the Franciscan padres. She was known as the “mother’” of the community and saw men and women grow to old age and die | and then their children's children follow. Up to within two months of her death she went constantly to the mission ser- vices, taking active part in them and in other good works. She was a great seamstress and mended the church linen | up to a few months ago. Her drawn work has been noted throughout the southern part of the State for more than halt a century. When her death grew near she took to her bed. She was not | sreatly emaciated, though she showed | age by the deep lines of her face. She| had not had the three warnings—lame- . ness, deafness and blindness. Her death | wus very peaceful and due simply to old | age. At the funeral to-day the entire popula- | tlon of the village turned out to honor her | memory. PROSPECTOR FINDS RARE MANUSCRIPT IN A CAN Uncovers the “L;E” of Some Man ‘Who Had Explored the Rogue River Country. REDDING, Nov. 15.—A rare manuseript of fifty pages was found on Thursday on Mcunt Redtop, about fifteen miles west of Grants Pass, Or. It was picked up by a prospector named Hatcher and he val- ues his find at such a high figure that he will not part with it. Hatcher was digging with a pick near a spring and hearing a peculiar metallic sound supposed he had reached bedrock. His pick encountered some hard stance that Hatcher at first belleved was a large boulder. Lifting it from earth, however, he found it to be a seal- ed powder can. With considerable diffi- culty he removed the lid and Hatcher found in the can a scroll of closely writ- ten manuseript. It proved to be an old one, dated 188S. It was unfinished and written with a | lead pencil. It was entitled “My Travels | in America,” written by L. F. Grey. The writer tells of having visited a little harbor known as Crescent City and Leen shown abcut the Rogue River by an | Indian chief. Why the manuscript was buried is a mystery that perhaps may ! never be solved. Grey may have been a | prospector, as was Hatcher. He may | have perished in the snow or died of starvation and been devoured by wild animals. G E b ROME, Nov. 15.—A Coadjutor Bishop of Pittsburg will not be appointed to-day, as ex- pected.

CALL BU TEIGLER HONORS Y0UNG EXPLORER Anthony Fialia Will Lead Next Polar Expedition. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Név. 15.—Anthony Fialia has been selected as leader of the next Zeigler ‘polar expedition. His appoint- ment will not be formally announced un- til details have been arranged. Fialia is the youngest man ever chosen to lead a polar expedition. Of athletic build, he is a war veteran and a son of veterans, and his friends are sure he is possessed of the confidence that laads to success. He accompanied Baldwin on his .expedition. During the many months he was in the north his abilities won him high commendation and on the return of Baldwin Zeigler’'s attention was centered on the young man because of the praise given to him by Arctic explorers. Zeigler and Fialia are now planning the details of the new expedition, which will start in the spring. The arrangements are still very incomplete, but it is known that many members of the Baldwin party will go with Fialia. He will proceed north to the upper end of Franz Josef Land and thence a dash will be made for the ole. It is this last effort that will decide the success of the expedition. The distance from the upper end of Franz Josef Land to the pole is calculated to be near- ly 600 miles. So far as possible all ar- rangements concerning the new expedi- ‘tion will be carefully and scientifically prepared beforehand. Zeligler has high hopes of its success. ALASKAN MAIL BOAT MAY HAVE GONE DOWN Steamer Newport Fifteen Days Over- due at Junead When the City R of Seattle Sailed. VANCOUVER, B. C., Nov. 15.—The steamer City of Seattle, arriving this evening from Skagway, brought alarm- ing news concerning the steamer New- port, the American mail boat plying be- tween Juneau and Dutch Harbor. When the Seattle was at Juneau on Wednesday the Newport was then fifteen days over- due and had not arrived at Valdez on her return trip. The Postmaster at Ju- neau was arranging on Wednesday to send the Bonita in search of her. Heavy southeast gales have prevalled all along the Alaskan coast, as far out as the Aleutian Islands, and it is feared that the steamer has gone ashore. It is too early for her to have been caught in the ice and, with an ordinary breakdown in machinery, she probably would have turned up days ago. ‘The Seattle brought 172 passengers from Skagway. e B 5 R CHICAGO, Nov. 15.—Chief O'Neill to-da; ordered the suspension of Patrolman Patric J.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 15.—Los Angeles is being flooded with short-weight gold coin and there is reason to believe that a gang of criminals is systematically working this fraud. The coins are not treated with acid or reduced in weight by the slow" method of shaking a num- ber of them in a bag, but the edges are pared down, seemingly with a machine. After the operators have taken off all the gold they dare the milling is replaced in a crude manmer with a file. So numerous have become these “doe- tored” coins, and so many have been the merchants who have been induced to ac- cept them, that it is now difficult to pass a gold coin in many places without its first being closely scrutinized. The opera- tions of the gang are confined to $10 and $20 gold pleces,”and it is estimated that they have “doctored” several hundred of these coins, taking a dollar or more in gold from each.
