T igiva Friends of Coombs Expect That He Will Begin a Contest, —_—— ® Epectal Dispatch to The Call. TO, Dec. 4 more in- s taken in the November election than manifested in the out- come of the present disclosures with ref- erence to the number of illegal balots counted for the various Democratic can- didates. : The claim is openly made that after th scnsational developments in Judge Shield: court yesterday there can be no question that a recount will show that George C. Pardee carried Sacramento County and that Frank L. Coombs is entitled to his SACRAME) tense Interest seat as the Congressman from the Sec-, ond District. The story told exclusively in The Call this morning brought a flood of inquiries from politicians in various parts of the State and the palpable seriousness of the situation is admittad in private conversa- tion by .:e leading Democrats of the county. The approaching contest for the tax collectorship of this county brought by A. A. Merkley, Republicgn, against Charles Trainor, Democrat, has risén to a matter of State importance, and every step of the contest will be watched by | personal representatives of the'State po- litical organizations. The greatest consternation has reigned in the Democratic camp since it was dis- covered in the Anderson vs. March con- test for a minor cffice that in the nine precincts canvassed. out of the seventy- eight in the county, the Democrats netted a loss of 176 ballot stamp opposite & ‘‘no nomination” line and thus came under the Supreme Court definition of ballots rendered illegal be- cause of distinguishing marks. COOMBS IS NOTIFIED. Telegrams have been sent on to Wash- ington apprising Congressman Coombs of the remarkable situaticn and his friends | are awaiting Instructiofs from him. Since Bell carried the county by 182 votes and the district by 335, it is plainly ap- parent that the throwing out of demo- cratic ballots at the rate of twenty in each of the seventy-eight precincts in. the county would place Sacramento County |each one. ‘,\\’yman presented to the President gbout back in the Republican column and make certain the election of Coombs. The Bee, which was Bell's chief 5np»1 porter, to-night prints a message from him stating that he does not believe Con- gress would be bound, in the event of a | contest, by the Supreme Court decision; | that he thinks the Republicans would | consider it poor politics to attempt to un- | seat him and that besides he has recei ed_his certificate of election. Bell ad thét in the event of a contest on the “No nomination” proposition he would gain fifty votes in Yolo, and that conditions would favor him in Lake, Glenn, Colusa | and Mendocino counties. Yet Bell re- ceived almost as many votes in Sacra- mento County as is Lake, Glenn, Colusa and Mendocino counties put together, and | | for this reason the throwing out of a | heavy percentage of his vote in this coun- | ty becomes a matter of serious import- nce. An indication of the local feeling may | be found in the fact that while W. F. Gormley, Democrat, defeated George C. | McMullen, Republican, for Coroner, by | 703 votes, McMullen felt warranted in | making this public statement this a:ter-‘l | { noon: “I will say that if in the Merkley vs. Trainor contest enough votes are thrown | out on account of beigg stamped in the | ‘No nomination’ sectidl, 1 shall certainly | file a contest. Iam told that right across. | the street from my place of business one at least twenty votes stamped | No nomination' counted.” | There is no doubt that a recount wil restore Sacramento to the Republican column, giving a majority for Pardee, as | well as nearly all the Republican county | candidates. Already talk is heatd of what | the procedure will be in the event of a | contest by Coombs. It seems to be the | belief that Congress would appoint a | ~ommission to take the evidence and then would determine therefrom which can- didate should be given the seat. POSSIBILITY OF CONTEST. WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.—Representative | Coombs, when asked to-night whether he | intended to contest the eiection of Bell | 1o the 'seatein the Fifty-eighth Congress, | said: . ' | “I would mot contest on a technicality, even though I were assured of winning. 1 have not yet been adviced of any cthe; grounds of contest and have given the| matter no consideration. My only thought | since coming here this winter has been to do what service I could for California curing the short period of this session. | 1 have been advised thus far of no other | than technical grounds on which I could | meke a contest and that sort of con-| test I would not resort to for a seat in ! Congress. As for other developments in | the official count which would furnish a | basis for a contest I can say nothing, as | I am in ignorance of any such at the P present time.” | WOODLAND, Dec. 4.—Congressman- | elect Bell's Yolo County friends have but | little fear of a recount as a result of the | developments in Bacramento County.. A | recount in Yolo County would no doubt ' result In the throwing out of at least| fifty Republican ballots for the same rea. son. Again, in Yuba County there was | a “no nomination” blank in the Republi- | can column of the ticket. A recount there | would most likely reduce Coombs’ vote in | that county very materially and would | probably offset any gains he might make ; by a recount in Sacramento. In Butte | County each of the political columns had | a “no nomination” blank in it, but as Coombs had over 300 majority a recount would probably result in a larger loss 10 Coombs than to Bell. SUSPECTED BANK ROBBERS ARE CAUGHT ON A RANCH Montana Authorities Believe They | Have the Men Who Made the Haul at Bridger. BUTTE, Mont., Dec. 4—A special to the Miner from Biliings, Mont., says that news was received there to-night that Sheriff Potter of Carbon County to-day captured three men belleved to be the | robbers who held up the bark at Brid- ger Monday and escaped with $3748. The report says that the robbers were over- taken at Fishtail Creek near the Wyom- ing State line. They were in the cabin of Pat Murphy, a rancher, who was also placed under arrest. The suspects were iaken to Red Lodge to-night and placed in jail.

CASE ASSUMES - GRMER ASPECT Condition of Ex-Speaker Reed Is Pronounced Critical. Attending Physicians Fear Uraemic Troubles More Tflan Appendicitis, WASHINGTON, Dec. {—At 11:30 p. m. the condition of ex-Speaker Thomas B. Reed, who has been ill here since Tues- day evening, was reported to be critical. A few minutes before that time Dr. Gardi- ner, one of the attending physiclans, randed the following bulletin to the Tress: At 10 p. m. Mr. Reed’s condition 1s_as fol- | lows: = 7Temperature, 100 8-5; pulse, §S; res- piration, 34. Mr, Reed ‘suffered from some degree of uraemic coma during the afternocn, but his mind is again clear this evening. 'His - appendicial symptoms are raoidly suo- siding and appendicitis is not an important factor in his present condition. - W. C. GOOD: MDY F.' A| GARDINER, M. D. T. L McDONALD, M. D. Dr. Gardiner made two visits to his pa- tient during the evening, leaving the first time at half past 8 o'clock. Later he and Drs. Goodnow and McDonald came and remained at the hotel for nearly two hours, some of the time with Mr. Reed and the remainder {n consultation over his case. Dr. Goodnow, whose name ap- pears to the bulletin to-night in addition to the other physicians, is a Philadel- phian, and was called into the case as “expert consultant.”” He expected to ieave for, home again on the midnight train. Dr. Gardiner was not disposed to talk about the case to-night nor to add an¥thing to the bulletin, saying that it contained an exact statement of Mr. Reed’s condition. He did say, however, that Mr. Reed's condition was critical, but it was better than at 5.0'clock this afternoon. In some resnects Mr. Reed, he added, was better than last night, and in some respects worse. He was better co far as the appendicitic symptoms were ceneerned, but the uraemic features gave the case a graver aspect. After Jssuing the bulletin the doctor seid -he was going home for the night and would leave his assistant, Dr. Bishop, who would remain with Mr. Reed during the night. . Gift Sale Articles.

MILITIA SYSTEM T0 BE IMPROVED Senate Committee Will, Report Favorably on House Bill, Measure . Provides for Reor-: ganization of National Guards, CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, Dec. 4—On the strength of Secretary Root’s opinion ¢hat the militia reorganization bill passed by the House at the last session was better than no legislation dt all, thé Senate Com- mittee on Military Affairs ‘voted to-day unanimously to report it without amend- ment. There seems to be no opposition to it and it will undoubtedly become a law. Secretary Root thinks that, while not perfect, the House bill had better be passed at once, as it will be a long step toward the necessary reorganization of the militia system. The bill‘provides that the militia shall consist of able-bodied citizens of the States and Territorifes and the District of Columbia, and shall be known as National Guards, or such other designation as various laws may provide. There shall also be the National Volun- teer reserve, and the remainder of.the State military organization shall be known as the reserve militia. Officers of the Government are exempted from mili- tia duty. The rules and regulations shall be those of the regular army. “In time of war or threatened invasion it shall be lawful for the President to call such mili- tia forthl for a period not exceeding nine months and he may in his discretion ap- portion them acéording to population. Pay shall commence the day of the appear- ance at the company rendezvous. Provi- sion is also made for the Secretary of War to issue on requisition of Governors the necessary arms. Altogether there are twenty-seven sections of the bill and it goes into detall as to the exact standing of all State militia organizations. Rock Crushes Quarry Workman. WILLOWS, Dec. 4—An accident occur- red at the sandstone quarry near Sites, Colusa County, vesterday, and the victim, an Austrian whose name is not known, was so badly crushed that he will prob- ably die. ‘While work was in progress a large rock on- the hillside became loos- ened and rolled down upon the quarry workman. His nose was broken, collar ‘bone crushed, right arm and hand man- gled and three ribs were injured. MINERS SWING . ABOVE TORRENT Shasta County Men Nar- rowly Escape From Death. Wire Cable Cage Stops When Crossing a Raging‘ s River. Special Dispatch to The Call REDDING, Dec. 4.—Tom Haskins and John Cleone, miners employed at the old Calumet mine, across the Sacramento River, eight miles north of Redding, had a thrilling experience to-day. Haskins and Cleone had boarded the cage on the wire cable across the river, the only way of getting to the other side. The man at the mine end of the cable turned the machinery that operated the cage loose and the trip across was be- gun. When the cage reached the middie of the stream the pulley on the cable snapped and the cage was stopped In midair, thirty feet over the raging waters of the river. A steady rain was falling and the min- ers, swinging over the flood below, were in danger each minute of overbalancing the cage and being flung headlong into the water. The cage is got provided with sides or ends, it belng a square board with chains attached to the four corners and coupled together at the cable. James Thompson, the man at the cable windla€s, proved the hero of the hour. He realized the miners’ perilous position and crawled out over the cable, risking his own life, and attached a hook to the cage. He then crawled back to the further shore, drawing the cage, with its living feight, with him. Had it not been for Thompson the miners would undoubt- edly have perished. Friends of Trees Will Meet.

S0IL REVEAL LEDGE OF METAL Remarkable Find Said to Have Been Made in Shasta. Gold, Copper and Silver in an Immense Section of Ore. — Special Dispatch to The Call. REDDING, Dec. 4—One of the richest discoveries of preclous metal ore ever made in Shasta County was reported in Redding this afterncon. The ore is de- clared to be in the mines of the Clear Creek Gold Mining Company on Clear Creek, about ten miles west of this city. This “property is situated about four miles from the Mount Shasta gold mine and Is owned by a syndicate of Boston capitalists. The mine has been developed under the management of B. F. Rogers. A 2000 foot tunmel has been cut and at the end of this tunmel the exceedingly rich strike is reported to have been made. M. Russell, an old miner, who claims to have discovered the mother lode in Shasta Cougty, and %he owns a group of claims adjoining the Clear Creek property, came to Redding this forencon and brought the news of the strike. He says the miners have encountered an immense body of almost solid metal, composed of gold, copper and silver. Much excitement resulted at the mine, and if the find holds out it will go on rec- ord as the biggest discovery ever made in the county and make another big divie dend payer for Shasta County.
