Special Dispatch to The Call CALL BUREAU, 1466 G STREET, Ni W., WASHINGTON, Nov. 2lL.—Katherine |‘A:" Tingley. made @nether defense of her Universal Brotherhood in a thousand- word dispatch to-day sent' from San Di- ego, Cal, to the Treasury Department. In this dispatch she says she had read in the Herald that the Gerry Soclety in New York -had made application for a rehearing of the case, either in New York or Washington, and if this was to | be granted she desired to offer testimony in rebuttal. The telegram goes on to say that she can prove that the charges made { against her school are without founda- tion and that -the institution is perfectly able to properly care for the Cuban:chil- i dren, who are now held in New" York pending the.final Gecision of the Treas- ury Depariment. Secretary Shaw received a dispatch from Sargent, Commissioner General of Immigration, to-day, stating that he would probably conclude his investiga- tions to-night and leave Point Loma some time to-morrow. He will telegraph his report to the department, and this with all other testimony in the case will be forwarded to New York, where the re- hearing of the case, it has now been de- cided, will be held. On this reopening, should the board still remain -of the same .opinion, that the children should be deported, the case will come up to the Treasury Department on appeal for final decision. Mrs. Tingley's telegram received to-day, a letter of Dr. Van Pelt, superintendent of the school, || and all of the affidavits for and against the institution, will be forwarded as soon | as Commissioner Sargent’s report is re- ceived.

PILOT-BOAT SAILS THE SEAS WITH NOT A MAN ABOARD HER Stafich ‘Little America, Aban doned After a Collision With the Gracie S, Holds Her Course Like the *‘Flying Dutchman’’ and Gives e HE pilot boat America, with-a | gaping hole in her port quarter and her mainsail trailing behind her, safled ninéty miles out to sea during the heaviest of the | gale Wednesday night and Thursday | mozning, without a soul aboard her. She ! | held her head like a phantom ship, a{ veritable “Flying Dutchman,” sailing {past the rocks and shoals of the| | South Farallones as if she were manned | by souls of all the pilots. Staggered of- |ten by the weight of heavy seas, she | never failed to shake herself clear and beat on as if nothing human could turn her aslde. For thirteen hours the Gracie 8 with | two sets of pilots and two crews aboard gave chase to the ‘‘wild” pilot-boat, which had been stove in below the water line in collision and hastily de- serted . by her crew in the be- lief that she was going to the bottom. A | better fate was in store for the stanch | little craft and the pilots had the chase of their lives and some risky work at the end of it in order to recapture the aban- doned boat. 3 The Gracie S and the America got in collision Wednesday. night about half past 9 o'clock. Both were standing off shore near the lightship, waiting for in- coming vessels needing pilots. The gale grew harder, but everything was snug Bach was sailing | close reefed, the America on the star- beard tack and the Gracie S on the port tack. Suddenly Albert Ross, the Ameri- ca’s_boatkeeper, who was at the wheel, | shotlted a warning to Captain Alex Swan- | con, in command, that the Gracie S was | | getting dangerously near. Before Cap- tain Swanson could reach the deck the Gracie 8 had struck, her bowsprit tearing through the America’s mainsail and bringing down a mass of wreckage, while her bow cut into the other vessel's port | quarter. Confusion followed and the America | filled rapidly until the water reathed the cabin floors. It was the gemeral belief | that she was going down and the crew | ond her pilots, Captain Swanson and | Captain Jordan, clambered aboard the iracie S. Al Ross, the.boatkeeper, took time to go below for $400 in gold.which he | had received the last trip to port, a leg- | acy from Russia. Captain Swanson went | below to see the extent’ of the damage, | and was the last map off the battered {pilot-boat. - Ross cut the wreckage loose {and the boats separated, but the expected | rlunge of the America into the depths | of”. the ocean’ did ‘not occur. Stranger I'stifl, she did not leave her course, and so {'well did she sail without a hand on ; wheel that before the pilots had compre- | hended the situation ,the saflorless craft hag left: them almost out of sight. WILD RACE BEGINS. Then the chase began. Captain C. B. Johnéon took the ‘wheel. Captain Ers- kine was in command. All eyes were fas- tened on the lights of the America. When she was abandoned the pilot-boat had reefed foresail and jib standing, and in the gale she was making a good seven knots an hour. With such a wind the Gracie S could not safely be sailed with much more canvas, and only after a long chase was the America passed. Captain Johneon then held his vessel on the same cocrse and the America followed, never faltering a moment. Captain Swanson wanted to try to board the runaway while it was yet dark, but the other pilots persuaded him not to make the perilous, attempt. At § o'clock the America was threading her way past the dangers of the South Far- allones, where many a pilot would have 1efused to take her. Every minute the old sea dogs an the Graci® S expected to sce her come to grief. There was an un- canny element about it all that took hold of the fmaginations of the bluff sailors, for the America rode the waves proudly, her lights burning steadily and her course held as truly as if the best sailor of them all had been at the wheel, and they kpew that the little vessel was making the fight alone. % = “‘By the gods, Newt,” Captain Johnson {roared to Jordan, “Bill Nelll's sailing her, - the Pilots an Eighty-Mile Chase Before Her Re'capture — L 3 | | i | \ e AT S r—— - = —_— T ST 5 < \\ < SRR THE TWO PILOT BOATS THAT WERE IN COLLISION NEAR THE FAR- ALLONES WEDNESDAY NIGHT, ONE BEING TEMPORARILY ABAN- DONED BY HER CREW, AND THE VESSELS' MASTERS. No one else would take her through such a place!” “‘Sure,” Al Ross shouted té them, ‘“‘can’t you see Bill standin’ there in the cock- pit?” / Bill Neill, the veteran pilot, has been dead some years, and it fitted the mood of the men on the Gracle S to imagine his spirit form, lanky and wearing the familiar short stovepipe hat, standing at the wheel and holding the Aperica to her course. ““Well, if it's Bill,” Newt Jordan replied, “why the don't he luff a bit and give us a chance to board?”’ Jordan had scrambled off the America in such haste that he left his diamonds in his cabin. In the early hours of the morning the runaway boat seemed once to be settling deeper in the water. ‘“‘She’s going down now,” Jordan said. “I've got $500 worth of diamonds in those cléthes of mine, and I'll take $10 for them.” DIAMONDS FOR A SONG. “I'll take 'em at that price,” Johnsqn roared, and the bargain was made. Swar- son offered to bet $100 that the America would be sailing yet at sunrise, and she was. Daylight partly explained the mys- tery. The tralling mainsail was acting as a rudder and with the steady blow was keeping her straight on her south- west-by-west-half-west course. The pilots did not know till later that the sail had also dragged into the V-shaped cut in the America’s side, stopping the inrush of ‘Wwater most effectually. At 7:30 o'clock Captain Swanson and Al Ross put off in a small boat, and as the America came hammering past.them, her lights still burning, Ross caught at her rail with a boathook. The hook straight- ened out and the pilot-boat salled .away from them. The Gracic S picked them up and again chased the runaway, passed her and once more the attempt was made. This time the Bpooky craft evaded the boatmen entirely. i The pilots and the sailors breakfasted, and at 11 o'clock a slight lull gave them a better opportunity. Swanson and Ross again made the mpt and got a boat- hook fast in the trailing wreckage.. As they hauled away and approached the pilot-boat her boom swung around and struck the yawl, almost capsizing it. Then Ross got within reach of the boom, sprang on it, crawled along to the deck, rushed to the cockpit and grasped the wheel, and once more the America was in contrel of human hands. . Ross' feat was most perilous, and the pilots say few men could have accomplished it. The America was patched up and the beats sailed back in company.

REMARKABLE SUCCESS Of a New Catarrh Cure. A large and constantly increasing ma- Jority of the American people are catarrh suffegers. This is not entirely the result of our changeable climate, but because modern investigation has clearly proven that many diseases, known by other names, are really catarrh. Formerly the name catarrh was applied almost exclu- sively to the common nasal catarrh, but the throat, st6mach, liver, bladder, kid- neys and intestines are subject to ca- tarrhal diseases as well as the nasal pas- sages. In fact, wherever there is mucous mem- brane there Is & feeding ground for ca- tarrh, 3 The usual remedies, inhalers, sprays, douches or powders, have been practically failures, as far as anything more than temporary relief was concerned, because they simply dry up the mucous secre- tions, without having the remotest effect upon the blood and liver, which are the real sources of catarrhal diseases. It has been known for some years that the radical cure of catarrh could never come from local applications, but from an internal remedy, “acting on the.blood and expelling the catarrhal poison from the system. A new internal preparation, which has been on the market only a short time, has met with remarkable success as a genu- ine, radical cure for catarrh, It may be found in any drug atore, sold under the pame of Stuart’s Catarrh Tab- lets, large and pleasant tasting lozenges, composed principally of antiseptic ingre: dients, Bloodroot, Red Gum and similar catarrh specifics. Dr. Ainslee, in speaking of the new ca- tarrh cure, says: “I have tried the new catarrh remedy, Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets, upon thirty or forty patients with re. markable satisfactory results. They clear the head and throat more effectually and lastingly than any douche or inhaler that I have ever seen, and although they are what is called a patent medicine and sold by druggists, I do, not hesitate to recom- mend them, as I know them to be free from cocaine and oplates, and that even a little child may use them with entire safety.” ¥ s Any sufferer from nasal catarrh, throat or bronchial trouble, catarrh of the stom- ach, liver or biadder will find Stuart’s Ca- tarrh Tablets remarkably effective, pleas- ant and convenient, and your druggist will tell you they are absolutely free from any injurious drug. \ i ADVERTISEMENTS. .

SEEKS LEGATION AFTER SHOOTING Son of the Minister at Guatemala City Kills a Man. . WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.—The State De- partment has been informed that Godfrey Hunter Jr., son of the United States Min- ister at Guatemala City, to-day shot and | killed Willilam Fitzgerald of Grand Rap- | ids, Mich, Hunter has faken refuge in the legation and an Jnteresting question | has arisen as to his exémption from ar- rest. £ Important details are lacking in the re- port of the affair which has come to the State Department, and the officials are in doubt as to what should be done. They have no notion of surrendering without protest an Americarn citizen to the local courts of Guatemala unless satisfled that the man is a proper subject for punish- ment. Even then it is not at all certain that the department itself has”the right to walve any legal exemption that the man might have. International law lays down the precept that an Embassador or Minister may not of his own accord sur- render any such exemption in his own case. A closer inspection of the original ad- vices reveals the fact that the only name by which the man was known was Fitz- gerald. He was shot four times. An- | other important fact developed was that | young Hunter was accompanied at the time of the shooting by the secretary of | the legation. This official is set down In | the register as being James G. Bailey of | Kentucky, who went to his post in*June, | 1901 The cablegram also, rather by sug-| gestlon than by direct statement, gave | ground for an inference that the killing was provoked. Not much is known here of the person- ality of Godfrey Hunter Jr.,, and it is| impossible to learn definitely whether or | not he was actually connected officially with the Uaited States legation at Guate- mala City at the time of the shooting. That he had been a clerk or typewriter ih the legation is established, but in some quarters it is said that this connection had been terminated for some time. This ! may be a very important point in set- tling the question of exemption of young Hunter from arrest, for a legation at- tache or employe enjoys in a large part the exemption conferred by international law on an Embassador or Minister. An- other point that may operate in Hunter's favor is his kinship to the Minister. It is expected here that the shooting affray may mean the rellef of Dr. Hun- ter from his post as Minister. The doc- tor has been steadily embroiled with members of the American colony almost since he assumed office in 1897, and late- ly, owing to his connection with a Gov- | ernment rajlway and other matters not | supposed to be proper for a Minister to | meddle with, the pressure became so acute that the department was obliged to relieve him from office. It may be that Fitzgerald was connected in some way with the charges against the Min- ister. GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Nov. 2L.—Wil- liam Fjtzgerald was born here and was about 27 years of age. Seven or eight years ago he went to Guatemala, where he held several different Government po- | sitions. He is said by his relatives here to have been private secretary to the | President of Guatemala for some time past. The last time he was In Grand Rapids was two years ago. At one time Fitzgerald was a parlor car conductor on the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad.

ROME, Nov. 2l.—At a reception of 500 Pledmontese pllgrims to-day, the Pope jocularly referred to the unfounded ru- mors yesterday of his indisposition, say- ing: “My time has not yet come. We have many things to accomplish before my death.” A number of Americans were recélved in special audience by the Pope in the Sis- tine Chapel, including Mr. and Mrs, Harry Black of Chicago, J. W. Shaw and Miss H. Buckley of San Francisco and Mrs, James Maxfleld and daughter of Los An- geles, Cal. The Pontiff spoke cordially to each and gave them individually his hand.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2l.—Replying to questions of counsel for the State of Minnesota in the hearing of the case of that State against the Northern Securi- ties Company, D. Willils James, a di- rector of the company, teulfly that he owned 35000 shares of Great Northern stock, 6000 shares of Northern Pacific ccmmon and 1200 shares of Northern Pa- cific preferred before the organization of the Northern Securities Company. After the panic of May 9, 1901, he bought 5009 more Northern Pacific shares from J. P. Morgan & Co. James said that he and some of his friends decided it would be wise to pool their interests in Great Northern, and in reply to a further ques- tfon he said: “The raid of May 9 showed it was pos- sible that a like attack might be made on Great Northern.” “And you decided to unite your inter- ésts with Kennedy, Hill, Morgan and oth- , ers?” asked M. D. Munn, counsel for | Minnesota. “We thought it best for the interests of all concerned that the control should re- main where it was. Hill's management had been most successful.” Tbe witness said he and his frieflds diG not own a controlling interest in the Northern Pacific, as well as the Great Ncrthern, unless the interests held by J. P. Morgan & Co. in the Northern Pacific were included, and then only in case the | preferred stock was retired. The witness said he turned in his stock because he , deemed it best and wisest. “You walked right up to the threshold of this new company and surrendered $35,000,000 of stock for stock in the new company without any understanding among yourselves?” asked Munn. “I thought it for the best.” “And all your friends did as you did?" “I can speak only for myself.” Munn announced that he would present no further testimony until Ingersoll, the examiner, sits in St. Paul for the next hearing. Ingersoll announced that the further hearing In the Federal suit against the Northern Securities Company had been postponed by consent until No- vember 25.
