CRUM TO GET FFIGIAL POST President Plans to Out- wit a Protesting Senate. —_— Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STR W., WASHINGTON, March dent Roosevelt has closed the “door of hope” to the white citizens of Charleston Dr. Willlam D. Crum, the colored physician, Collector at Charlestori as soon as the special ses- sion of the Senate adjourns. Notwith- standing one adverse report on the nomi- nation of Dr. Crum by the Senate Com- mittee on Commerce several weeks ago, and an opportunity for a second adverse report last Thursday, of which the oppo- | sition refused to take advantage, the ap- pointment of Crum is assured. There is not the slightest possibility of a vote being reached on his nomination during the present special session. The disposition of the canal and Cuban trea- ties and a few other routine matters will cccupy all of the time of the Senate. Several feeble efforts have been made to carry out the President's desire to force a roll call on the nomination of Dr. Crum. As a matter of fact, the Repub- lican leaders of the Senate have no heart in the fight the President is making on behalf of Dr. Crum. On the other hand, the Democrats are determined to prevent any partisan vote. Immediately on the adjournment of the Senate Crum’s nomination will be made as a recess appointment. Thus Crum will become Collector of the Port and hold his commission probably until there is change of administration in Washington. San Francisco Team Wins.

LOS ANGELES, March 15.—At 4 late hour last night an old man named C, W, Eaton, an inmate of the Soldiers’ Home, either threw himself or accidentally fell in front of a Sapta Monica electric car at Western avenue and Sixteenth street and was ground to pieces. The body was mu- .| tilated to such an extent that identifica- tion was only made possible by a scrap of paper found in the clothing bearing the name “C. W. Eaton.” CREW'S HERDISM Dolphin’s Bluejackets Save Many Lives at Havana. HAVANA, March 15.—While Secretary of the Navy Moody and his party were making a visit on shore this afternoon a squall of tremendous violence swept over the harbor. It became as dark as night | and the wind and the downpour were ter- rific. Commander Stoney of the Dolphin, real- harbor, called for volunteer rescuers. The entire crew of the Dolphin responded. Boats were instantly manned and sent out. The launch returned with four half- drowned Cubans, and the captain’s gig with another, who was lifted aboard ap- parently lifeless, but was later resusci- tated. The courage and heroic action on the part of the Americans were especlally commended, as the British ships did aot rise to the emergency, although one of the capsized boats was much nearer to the Arfadne than to the Dolphin. Secretary Moody to-morrow will sum- mon the Dolphin’s crew and commend them for their presence of mind. Up #o to-night it is known that five men, all Cubans, were drowned by the capsizing of boats during the squall. - The arrival of the British squadron, consisting of the warships Ariadne, In- defatigable, Retribution, Tribune, Fan- tone and Columbine, this morning ‘from Kingston, Jamalea, gave the harbor a naval aspect. The morning was occupied with exchanges of salutes and calls. The Dolphin saluted Vice Admiral Douglas with fifteen guns. Vice Admiral Douglas and the com manders the British warships proceed. ed to the Dolphin and pajd their respects to Mr. Mpody. The Secretary returned the visit at once. Thirteen guns were fired by the Dolphin in honor of a call on Mr. Moody by Gen- eral Rodriguez, the commander of the Cu- ban army. ‘Weights for Harlem Handicap.

D. Kimball as his wife, Miss Jennie Barber, a comely young woman of Spokane, has found that she was inveigled into a mock marriage with the man, who has since been impris- oned on a charge of obtaining money by fal pretenses. Kimball is in jail at Fitzville and will appear at the next term of court. His erstwhile supposed bride has returned to Spokane, and says she Is at a loss to understand why- Kimball wished to wrong her. The couple were supposedly married at Spokane shortly before midnight on Jan- uary 23. Miss Barber wanted the cere- mony performed by a minister, but Kim- ball said that a prosecuting attorney who was a personal friend of his would serve. The man purporting to be the prosecutor performed an alleged ceremony. No wit- nesses were at the wedding, and imme- diately after the couple went to Ritzville. They had been there but a few days when Kimball got mixed up in an alleged shady transaction over a mortgage and landed in jail. The young woman was devoted to him and was allowed to visit her sup- posed husband until the authorities be- came suspicious. Letters to Spokane brought out the facts. The girl was then sent back to Spokane. Kimball has lived here for some time. He secured a position with a loan and building society in January and went to Rathdrum, Idaho, where he opened an of- fice. The day after his arrival he attend- | d a frayer meeting and on the following Sunday he preached a sermon from a church pulpit. His interest in church af- fairs drew him considerable business, un- MEXICO MAY MAKE WORK FOR DIPLOMATS | Los Angeles Killing and Alleged Ill- Treatment of Peons Promise Difficulty. LOS ANGELES, March 15.—Diplomats of Mexico and the United States soon may be called upon to use their offices in adjusting questions of intefnational im- portance that have arisen in Los Angeles and that have been taken before the Mex- ican Government for consideration. One of these questions is the killing of Fran- cisco Lopez, a Mexican subject, by Po- liceman Sherman Baker; the other, the alleged injustice suffered by several hun- dred Mexican peons, who are employed in railroad construction in this city and throughout Southern California. G. N._ Andrade, Mexican Consul at Los Angeles, is,now at the City of Mexico, and while his errand is said to be of a private nature, he will lay before his Government the questions that now are the chief interest of his countrymen in the United States. One thing that Gen- eral Andrade will advocate is the plac- ing of funds at his disposal to be used in assisting Mexican subjects, who become involved in difficulty, either through ignorance of the laws of this country or through mistaken arrest or accusation of crime. good grip on a revolver, held up the train | crew of an electric car on the Central- avenue line at the city limits at an early Hour this morning and robbed Cond:ctor | Phelps of $5.
