Morgan Dresser's use of these names caused Guthrie to protest that all such testimony was irrelevant Dresser announced that he protseted against the terms of the taking over ol the shipbuilding interests of the Trust Company of the Republic by the Sheldon syndicate because he believed the terms to be unfair. Dresser said that he saw the name of J. P.

He sald that he had several talks with Mr. Pam | during the month of December, 1802, about the of the Pam ed that the net earnings of the shipbuilding cor- poraticn for the first three months were about $1,100,000, about half of which came from the Bethlehem property. . The wit- mess said that when he told Pam that he (Dresser) must make an assignment Pam 101d him he must resign at once from the shipbutiding board. Pam, he said, seemed to be running the whole company. The witness said that he did not know that when the constituent companies of the shipbuilding combination had been taken over all of them were heavily laden with debt, but had been told so later on. He did not know that they were in debt when the prospectus was issued. The un- derwriters took up the bonds for which they had subscribed, paying %0 for them and getting bonus in stock. There had been no other assessment. The bonds had been offered to the public at 97. TRIO OF DUMMY DIRECTORS. When the Bethichem property was bought he knew that it was subject to two mortgages of about $8500,000. Schwab, sccording to the witness, said that the Bethlehem plant had earned $1,400,000 which had not been taken from the busi. ness. Dresser was succeeded on the stand by George P. Dailey, assistant treasurer of the Corporation Trust Company of New Jersey and one of the resident directors in New Jersey of the shipbuilding com- bination. He testified that his company made a practice of furnishing resident directors for corporations organized in New Jersey, and that he and two of his fellow clerks, Newman and Seward, had been made directors of the shipbuilding company. He did not know who had usked him to act as a director, but un- derstood that the arrangement was made by Alexander and Green with the New York branch of his company. He sald @ single share of stock had been bought for him in order that he might qualify, but he did not know who had paid for it or how it had been paid for. After much fencing he said he did not have a personal bank account at the time he acquired the qualifying share.

Harris of Harris, Gates & Co. made the follow- | ing statement late this afternoon with reference to Dresser's visit to him yes- terday: | ar. Dresser wished it distinctly understood that he did not want to plead with Mr. Schwab. He said he believel that an amicable discus- sion of the question might induce Mr. Schwab to ‘‘release his grip”’ and that the United States Shipbuilding Company could then be habilitated. 1 repeated Mr. Dresser’s state- to Mr. Schwab, who sald he must de- 0 meet Mr. Dresser. Harris asked to be excused from giving Schwab’s reason for declining to see Dresser. He added: Mr. Dresser made it perfectly plain to me that the idea of seeing Mr. Schwab and talk- ing things over was all his own and that he had taken the step without consulting any- L e ) HO3T DESCENDS UPON NEW YORK CHICAGO, Oct. 14.—“The restoring host” from Zion City began its movement | upon New York City to-day. At intervals of one-half hour trainloads of the follow- ers of John Alexander Dowie left the north shore city, eight trains in all, bear- ing 3000 “crusaders.” At the blowing of the fire whistle every inhabitant of the city was ready to kneel and pray for 4 safe journey, and over | 7000 men, women and children gathered at the railway station to listen to the final instructions of their leader. The cars are decorated only with a Zion banner at the rear of each train. The trains proceeded over various lines, passing around Chi- cago. Among the crusaders are representa- tives of nearly all Caucasian races, while there is a sprinkling of Asiatics among the guards. The Orient is represented by several Japanese and Syrians. Two Pull- man coaches were attached to the rear of each special for the accommodation of the more well-to-do of Zion's hosts. Dowie with his wife and heads of depart- ments are travelipg in comfort in special cars, to leave last. Dowie’'s plans contemplate the arrival in New York of all the trains at the same time. Upon leaving-the trains the cru- saders will spread themselves over the city in search of the quarters which were assigned to them several weeks ago. Once established, the work of proselyting will begin in preparation for next Sunday’s meeting iz Madison Square Garden. NEW YORK, Oct. 14—Madison Square Garden is being prepared for the use of John Alexander Dowie and his adherents, who are expected to arrive Friday to un- dertake a reformation. Workmen to-day began to build at the east end of the gar- den a platform with seating capacity suf- ficient for Zion's 500 officers and choir of 600. In front of the platform will be a b:zpllsmu Ppool ten by fifteen feet in diam- eter. ABERDEEN, 8. D, Oct. 44.—L.

Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Oct. 14.—Wilhelmina M. Chapman to-day was granted an inter- locutory decree of divorce from Daniel E. Chapman in Judge Leib's department of the Superior Court. The parties are con- nected with the +rell-knpwn Murphy fam- fly and are prominent in San Jose so- ciety. The grounds on which the divorce was granted are desertion and neglect. Mr. and Mrs. Chapman were married about five years ago in San Francisco. The two young people are second cousins, and, as thete was opposition to their mar- riage, they quietly went to the bay city and were married. . Mrs. Chapman was formerly Miss Mur- phy and is a daughter of the late James T. Murphy and a niece of the Hon. B. D. Murphy. Years ago when her mother separated from her father she went with ber mother. Murphy objected strongly to the marriage of his daughter and threatened to cut her off in his will. In fact, when he died it was found that he had created a trust of her share, so that she only receives an income. Chapman i8 the son of Charles Chap- man, a well-known resident of this city, and is very popular among the young men about town. ‘When Mr. and Mrs. Chapman married they had just reached their majority. Even some of their closest friends have not been aware of any trouble between the couple, although there has been a rumor on the streets for some lttle time that Chapman was spending most of his time away from home. Every effort has been made by friends of the couvle to keep the divorce qul%"”"‘ the use of the mails Although it was filed September 5, no re ord was made of it in the County Clerk’ office and the clerks were given instruc- tions not to make any note of the suit. The divorce was granted October 5 and it was only on the granting of the inter- locutory decree to-day that the matter became public. There is no community property or chil- dren resulting from the union and an absolute divorce without alimony was asked. Mrs. Chapman has considerable property, which is being held in trust for her and which was inherited from her father's estate. Bhe is now with her mother, Mrs. Wilhelmina Murphy, Ban Francisco. g ——— MARIN COUNTY BELLE WEDS AN OAKLAND MAN Miss Genevieve Roberts Becomes the Bride of Arthur Baker at Mill \ Valley.

Hidden Stenographer Takes Notes While Miller Is Questioned. Cincinnati Trial Reveals Hawkshaw Methods Pursued by Post- master Payne’s Fourth Assistant. R CINCINNATI, Oct. 14—Standing room was in demand in the United States Dis- trict Court room on the second day of the trial of Miller and Johns for conspiracy to extort a bribe in connection with the recently exposed postal frauds. The monotony of the trial was broken when Ji T. Watson testified that he was the private secretary to Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow and told of the letters that passed between John J. Ryan and the department. Finally As- sistant District Attorney Darby asked him to describe what took place in the office of Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow on May 14, when General Robb and Chief Inspector Cochran had an interview with Miller. Watson told about Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bris- tow concealing him behind his desk in one corner of the office, while General Robb and Chief Inspector Cochran were in the room. Then Bristow retired and Miller was sent into the room and ques- tioned. Watson, seated on a bundle of old newspapers in the corner, took full steno- graphic notes on his knee. MILLER MAKES AD*IIBSIONS. Watson proceeded to read to the court from those original mnotes. The first question propounded to Miller was by General Robb, when he said: Mr. Cochran and I have an unpleasant duty and it must be perfornicd now. Before any- thing is done you had better talk the matter over. ‘You are a lawyer and it is unnecessary to téll you that ibterfuge will be useless and that we will have We will leave that aside. The examiners have been at work in the West on the Ryan matter. We have their reports, and their statements have been corroborated.” It looks mighty bad for you and ‘we want you to explain. When Robb and Cochran showed Miller the reports and coples of letters and tele- grams indicating that he had sent the ruling of the department to Attorney Johns on December 10 and wired him that the same had been sent, Miller admitted that he had written a letter to Johns; that he had not taken coples of his let- ters and telegrams to Johns or filed those that he had received from him and that he considered them as personal and not official. GIVES DIFFERENT ANSWERS. Charles R. Robb, the successor of Gen- eral Tyner as Assistant Attorney General for the Postoffice, testified to a. second interview at which the same persons were present, excepthat hiy secretary, Tullls, took the place wn%? ae stenographer in an unconcealed positfon. The second interview awas In General Robb's office. The same ground was gone over and the answers of Miller differed from those he had previously given. John J. Ryan, the turfman, gave in de- tall a conversaton between Johns and himself in a room at Terre Haute, during which, the witness claimed, he made a contract with Johns for $4600 for a fa- vorable ruling from Miller concerning the use of the malils for his turf information bureau buslness. Ryan testified that all his future transactions were with Johns as the middleman up to last December, when Johns came to Cincinnati and they met in a room at the Gibson House, where Ryan gave Johns $1100 in cash and $3000 in two checks. Ryan told of subse- quent transactions in which, he says, Johns wanted more funds, until the wit- ness finally made a statement of the whole matter to the postoffice inspectors and made no further efforts to get bets on the races through the mails. Ll ] BALLET DENIED ISE OF MALS Special Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, Oct. 14. — Postmaster General Payne to-day issued an order to the hite Swan Mines Company, limited, of San Francisco and Baker City, Or.; the Pacific Securities and Trust Com- pany of San Francisco and Letson Balliet of the latter place, at one time variously known as the “Mining King,” the “Cecil Rhodes of America”” and the “Prince of Promoters.” The White Swan mine was discovered in 1881, and for three years was operated at a profit. After that it did not pay ex- penges. It was sold to Des Moines, Ia., capitalists and incorporated under the name of the White Swan Mines Company, limited, and was operated until 1897. It was again closed down and 400,000 shares of the company's stock were placed in a Des Moines bank, and W. W. Woodward of that place was given the option of selling the shares so as to net 10 cents each. He advertised cxtensively and sold stock under promise of wonderful future dividends.

Declares She Is Not a Siren That Lures Lovers to Death. —— s Special Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, Oct. 14—“Dot” Thurman will fight for a share in the estate of Abraham H. Kohn, who died recently in San Francisco. On what she bases her claim she refuses to state, contenting herself with the assertion that she has abundant documents to prove that she is entitled to a generous portion of the estate of the late millionaire and clubman. She as- serts that she has numerous papers show- ing that they were known as “Mr. and Mrs. Kohn.” His relatives, on the other hand, are determined that she shall not prove any claims of being the widow of Kohn. Former Judge George A. Trude was re- tained to-day to watch the interests of | the girl of many adventures and love en- tanglements. “Dot” Thurman stayed alone in her apartments in the Potomac flats while the last rites over the body of Kohn were being observed in Mount Maariv Céme- tery. Only the closest relatives were in the funeral party. “It was because he did not want to be separated from me that Mr. Kohn took the trip to California,” declared “Dot” Thurman to-day. “I am sick from the experience. It seems that evil fortune has pursued my friends. a siren that lured them to death. ed by Mr. Kohn until the last. When I could do nothing more I started back to Chicago. All the accusations against me are faise, “Dunton I knew only five weeks and did not know his name until after he was arrested,” she continued, referring to her past lovers. ‘“Forbes I never knew and Stoner, who committed suicide in the East, lost his money before I knew him.” L e e o o e e s el ] BETIRES FROM THE DREETORKTE Vice President Colgate Resigns From North Shore Road. R. R. Colgate, the millionaire paint man of New York, is no longer connected with the North Shore road in an official ca- pacity. At a meeting of the directors of the company held last Friday at the main -offices on Market street President John Martin submitted a letter from Col- gate, in which the latter resigned from the directorate and as vice president of the corporation. The board then elected R. M. Hotaling to the vacancy and desig- nated the mew official to act for President | Martin during his absence in New York, | for which city Martin will start in a few | days. Mr. Colgate’s resignation is attributed to the fact that he is a resident of the East and cannot devote the attention necessary to the dutles of vice president. He was one of the important factors in the finan- clering of the road after its. purchase from the Stetson company, and for a time he exhibited a great personal interest in the welfare of the company. It is under- stood, however, that he retains his stock in the North Shore and will be represent- ed here by President Martin. The directors at the same meeting levied an assessment of $5 upon the capital stock of the company. A similar assessment was levied two months ago, which makes in all $300,000, this amount being required to meet the expenses attending the trans- formation of the lines between Sausalito and San Rafael and Mill Valley from gteam ‘to electric power and for improve- ments at the southern terminus. At the time the work was voted on the stock- holders agreed to pay an assessment of $10, but this was finally divided Into two assessments. Manager Rank of the North Shore road announced yesterday that the company will be operating electric trains between Sausalito and San Rafael and Mill Valley under a new schedule on Saturday. There will be sixteen trains running both ways, including new evening trains to Mill Val- ley and to San Rafael, leaving this side at 10:20 p. m. For the convenience of busi- ness men there will be four trains each morning from San Rafael and Mill Val- ley, those from San Rafael leaving there at 5:25, 6:35, 7:40 and 8:35. The time sched- ule for the departure of the morning trains from Mill Valley will be 5:45, 6:55, 7:25 and 8:55. The time of departure of the trains in the evening from this side of the bay will be 5:15, 6:15, 7:00, 8:45 and 10:20. e More Trains Taken- Off. The Southern Pacific Company is still pursuing the plan of retrenchment that was inaugurated under the direction of General Marager Kruttschnitt. Yesterday 1t was announced that, beginning on Sun- day, the passenger train leaving here at 4:30 p. m. for Los Gatos will hereafter leave at 4:45 p. m. and that the train leaving Third and Townsend streets at 6 p. m. will be discontinued, thus consoli- dating two trains and saving to the com- pany the expense of one train crew, fuel and the cost of repairs. The local train for Palo Alto, which leaves Third and Townsend streets at 8 p. m., will also be discontinued after Saturday. What is known as No. 10, a through train leav- ing here for New Orleans at 7 p. m., will hereafter depart at 6 p. m. 3 i MAY INCREASE CAPITAL STOCK OF THE RAILROAD Directors of Huntington - Hellman System to Hold Important Meet- ing at Los Angeles. LOS ANGELES, Oct. 14.—The proposi- tion to increase the capital stock of the Pacific Electric Railroad Company (the ‘Huntington-Hellman - system) from $10,- 000,000 to $20,000,000, wili be taken up to- morrow at a meeting of the directors. At a meeting held to-night no quorum was present and an adjournment was taken without action. It has been stated that H, E. Huntington is opposed to this ine but Huntington Las not verified the rt. A confidential representative of the Huntington-Hellman system this afternoon stated that it is altogether probable the proposed increase will be voted.

Desperado Binds and Gags Victim Before Using Anesthetic and She Is Nearly Suffocated ‘When Discovered. g i LOS ANGELES, Oct. 14.—Mauled, bound, gagged, kicked, chloroformed and then robbed by a desperado was the treat- | ment suffered this afternoon by Mrs. Max Basch, a handsome young Jewess, living | on the outskirts of the city. The crime ‘was committed at 2 o'clock, but was not discovered until this evening, when her husband returned home and found her lying wounded and unconscious. For five hours she lay senseless from the effects of chloroform. Her face .was pressed down on a heap of matting, her hands | \ralelared bound behind her back with a handker- chief drawn so taut that it almost stopged | the circulation and her mouth was stuffed with wads of paper. The unfortunate woman was bruised and blackened by kicks on the breast and side as she lay helpless. She was on the point of suf- focating when found and could not have lived another half hour. She has rallied, however, and will recover. The criminal who gperated while an ac- complice stood guard - evidently sought money only, as $8 was taken, while dia- monds worth 3300 were not touched. The robber and his companion called at the house, 734 Vernon avenue, ostensibly to buy apples advertised for sale. After bargaining on the front porch, he sudden- | ly shoved the startled-woman into the hall, entered himself, shut the door and | locked it. Then he demanded money. Mrs. Basch pleaded that she had littie money, but offered her jewels, extending her hands with rings set with diamonds. With an oath the desperado threw her | She told him she had but 38 and | back. that it was in a dresser drawer. Cursing her as a liar the thug poised himself and swung a terrific blow to the side of Mrs. Basch’s head, knocking her down. She screamed and he kicked her again and agaln. Then he leaped upon her pros- trate form, placed his knees upon her chest and silenced her cries by forcing wads of newspaper into her throat. “I'll teach you to show a man where the money is,” he oftenm repeated between his curses. Then he ransacked the house and took the little money he found. After securing the money the robber committted his final indignities, by chlo- roforming and mauling his victim. Mrs, Basch was conscious but could do nothing when the wretch produced the bottle containing the chloroform and held it to her nose until she sank into a stupor. Her assailant had a long, scraggy mus- tache, reddish colored hair and there was a very noticeable black skin blotch on his upper lip where his mustache parted. Mrs, Basch believes him to be about five feet elght Inches tall, very broad shoul- dered and robust, with big strong hands. He wore a black stiff hat and on one fin- ger wore a cheap silver horseshoe ring. | The man who stood guard was of dark |, | { SICK HEADAGHE | Positively cured by these Little Pills, Indigestion and Too Hearty Eating.

The ceremonial session held in Golden Gate Asylum, on Sutter street, was attended by more than 600 red-fezzed nobles of the shrine, who assembled to witness the very interesting, striking and impressive degree conferred on 115 eli- gibles, who were anxious to have the privilege of wearing the crescent and scimetar as a lapel button. It was ths largest class that has ever received the degree In Islam Temple. Previous to the work by which is explained the mysteries of the order, there were received 197 ap- plications for membership, and these were all elected. Each of these, as well as those who were initlated, paid a fee of $50 each, making a total collected in initiation fees from the Initlated and ap- plicants—an aggregate of 304—of $15,200. ‘The reason for this influx into the ranks of the Shriners is the fact that from to- day on the fee will be $100. The ceremonies were superintended by Potentate Colonel C. H. Murphy and were under the management of E. J. Benedict, assisted by Nobles E. B. Hindes, John Hammersmith, James A, Snook, Willlam V. Bryan, James A. Gleaves and C. E. Landis. Each of the searchers after Arabic truths received his money’'s worth, and twenty-five specially selected recelved a little more, much to the satisfaction of the others, who were Merely onlookers and permitted to enjoy the fun. After the session had been declared closed there was an adjournment to the banquet halls, 650 being accommodated in the lower one and 150 in the upper. An excellent menu was disposed of, after which Potentate Murphy, acting as toast- master, called on a number of the nobles to respond to toasts. The first he called on was Noble Henry J. Crocker, the Re- publican candidate for Mayor, who, as soon as his name was announced, was ap- plauded for nearly five minutes, and when introduced as the next Mayor of San Francisco the applause was redoubled and the orchestra played “Hail to the Chief" and “He's a Jolly Good Fellow.” Mr. Crocker said he had come to the shrine meeting to have fun and not to make a political speech. “If you want to hear politics,” he said, “attend meetings on the outside.”” The other speakers were Samuel M. Shortridge, Duncan McKinlay, Judge F. H. Short of Fresno, Orrin Staples Hender- son, grand master of the Grand Lodge, ¥. and A. M., and by way of entertain- ment there were songs and storles by Billy Hynes and Chinese songs by Louls Steiger. the Mystic | Freight office, 10 Market street €. D.
