Mason is a phy- sical wreck and unable to speak, eat or leave his couch. The main witness for the State was Detective Gray of Richmond Hill, L. L, | whose right name is W. J. Garrison. He | was on the stand six hours and told the | story of the plots and counter-plots in | detail. Gray said he was sent to Dallas by the company to unearth the frauds, and began his task by engaging in the himself at the | lumber business, posing as a rich man, | | and ‘finally becoming acquainted with | Richardson, the company's agent. He afterward gained Richardson’s confidence and met Mason, or Mannering. Richard- son insured Gray’s invalid nephew, Evans of St. Louis, a fictitioys person, for $10,000, substituting a healthy man for the examination. The policy was col- lected and the money divided. After this the three men formed a con- spiracy to cover the entire Southwest | and Chihuahua, Mexico, in their opera- tiéns. They came to El Paso to begin and insured Gray under the name of Marshal D.: Sanguinett for $100,000, with | | Mason as David Sanguinett, his nephew, as beneficiary.

Gray feared that he was about to be made a victim and murdered They urged him to go to Chihuahua with them to carry out other similar schemes. He declined to enter Mexico, fearing murder, but con- sented to go to Denver. All were ar- rested. Atorney D.

He said; “I don’t want to say what they have done, but I have no doubt that we will win our case.” Lioyd inter- ed the following: “The commission- ers know something now which they did not know before. They know the terms of the proposed settlement. They know the coal road presidents proposed the set- tiement and then backed out.” i “INDEPENDENTS” ARE AROUSED Some Coal Operators Not Pleased With Action of Railways. NEW YORK, No -A number of in- dependent anthracite coal operators were in session here to-day and according to trustworthy reports President Baer of the Jersey Central and Reading was in conference with them. H. L. Fleming, wko is an official of the Anthraeite Oper- ators’ Association, speaking for the dele- gation, said that the independents were not here to ask for better terms from the coal roads, but that they did want to know why the coal road presidents had not given them a chance to present their side to the Arbitration Commission. “The independents,” Fleming added, “have stood shoulder to shoulder with the coal road operators and their treat- ment of us at this time is incomprehensi- ble. We desire to appear before the com-~ mission and will show our books if neces- sary.” Heavy Damages by the Flood. DALLAS, Tex., Nov. 25.—The flood sit- uation in Texas is generally improved.to- day.

As it was two of the patrolmen were ightly injured and it was only by a Stroke of luck that the entire crew was not badly hurt. In going to the fire the patrol was sent down Eighth street. When nearing' Mission the horses were given their heads and the gong on the wagon was rung constantly along the route. At the crossing car No. 1023, in charge of Motorman A. W. McCurrie, came tear- ing down from Ninth street at a high rate of speed.

I deemed the invitation from Dr. Jordan as a mest graceful act and one which I shall not forget when far away from this land. I was deeply moved by the exquisite beauty of the surroundings, and when completed the university must surely be one of the handsomest of educational institutions. “Now that my visit to the city of San Francisco is drawing to a close I would beg to express my gratification and. ap- preciation of the kindly treatment I have received at the hands of the press and the public here. I have enjoyed every moment of my visit. And in this connec- tion I may add that with the exception of one more day in New York I have re- mained longer in San Francisco than in any other city in the United States. I have had a most delightful time here, and I wish that it had been convenient to have extended my visit in this very beautiful city. However, it may be my good fortune to return one day and re- new the friendships I have made in San Francisco and other cities of this great country.” MAYOR SCHAITZ BAGK FROM EAST Brings Definite News of the President's Coming. LIt Tarries in Los Angeles to Aid Nominees cn Labor Ticket. Special Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, Nov. 2%.—Mayor Eu- gene E. Schmitz of San Francisco ar- rived in Los Angeles this morning from New Orleans and will remain until Satur- day or Sunday, devoting his entire time to the effort to win support for the Union Labor candidates for municipal offices in the election which will be held next Mon- day. He was met at the railway station by representatives of the various labor unions and a band and accompanied to his rooms in thé Hollenbeck Hotel. This afternoon he was driven about the city aud to-night he visited a number of the unions, special meetings having been ar- ranged for his reception. Mayor Schmitz professes to believe that George L. Mec- Gahan, Union Labor nominee, will be elected Mayor of Los Angeles, and that conditions here are similar to those which prevailed in San Francisco during the campaign which ended in his own elec- tion. Accompanied by committees of the Council of Labor, Mayor Schmitz will daily visit the factories and other places where large numbers of workingmen are employed and will personally solicit their support of the Union Labor ticket. Perhaps the most important informa- tion which Mayor Schmitz brings home with him is the positive statement that President Roosevelt intends to visit Cali- fornia next spring. He was the guest of the President at a dinner in Washington, and he says that he was assured that the President would start on his trip to the Pacific Coast either late in next March or early in April. He also confirmed the report that the labor union members throughout the country propase to organize a party of their own and place complete National and Congressional tickets in the fleld two years hence. He will be a candidate to succeed himself as Mayor of San Fran- cisco, and intimates that the suggestion that he become a candidate for second place on a national labor ticket, with possibly Hearst at the head of the ticket, is us yet premature. On Thursday evening Mayor Schmitz will address a labor mass-meeting in the interest of the Union Labor party.

Then he handed him this letter: SAN FRANCISCO, — Captain George L. Norton— Dear -Sir: On my arrival at this port I re- ceived Information from New York that [ was reported as being dead, and having been burled at cea from the United States transoort Dix.
