CHICAGO, Nov. 22.—An Indianapolis special to the Chronicle says: ‘It was the jealousy of a woman who d vied in vain for the center of the tal scandal, and, in vindica- tion of his part in it, Major Rathbone is now preferring charges against” Gen- Wood with the Senate Committee on Military Affairs.” This astounding declaration was ic by a former Cuban postoffice offi- 10 is now a resident of Indian- nd who, it is likely, will be| alled as a witness before the Senate ommittee.

Marvelous Triumphs of Dr. Marmorek’s Discovery. Daughter of French Marquis Another Whom He Re- stored to Health. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Nov. 22.—Dr. Alexander Marmorek, whose discovery of a serum | which he claims has cured tuberculosis has just been announced in Paris, de- | clares through a friend in this city that he bases his claim in part upon a long | series of experiments, « ne of which was | the cure of no less a person than Prince Henry of Pless, scion of the princely | house of Germany. Among other cures claimed for Dr. Marmorek is that of a | Carmelite nun, in attending whom he | | man who | became, perhaps, the only ever penetrated into the forbidden pre- cincts of the convent of Our Lady of Carmel. The data of Dr. Marmorek's | experiments and tkeir results are given on the autherity of Dr, Richard Gott-| heil, professor of Semitic languages at | the Columbia University, a closé friend of Dr. Marmorek. “Dr. Marmorek,” said Professor Gott- heil, to-day, “is barely 38 years of age. He was born in Austria and studied medicine in Vienna, where he received his degree. After several years as one of the leading surgeons in the Austrian capital he became interested in the fleld of asepsis and entered the clinic of Pasteur. Almost at the beginning of this course he astounded the heads | antidote for puerperal fever, which ap- peared in therapeutic treatises as the| ‘Mafmorek cure.’ In 1894 he was made chefide laboratoire of Pasteur Insti- tute., “At the height of the Dreyfus affair, the daughter of a Marquis, one of the most famous in the French ncbilityy was taken ill and was sinking rapidiy. A crisis came In the girl's condition and Pasteur Institute was called upon to send Dr. Marmorek immediately. He went, injected his new serum and the patient recovered. “In 1898 Dr. Marmorek began work in secret upon his investigation of tuber- culosis bacilli. For four years he made almost incessant experiments. Two years ago he became satisfied that he was in possession of the secret which had so long lain hidden from scientists. “Dr. Marmorek was called to treat Prince Henry of Pless, who was ill with His conditdon was considered hopeless after the court phy- | siclans had exhausted all their skill. | Dr. Marmorek went to the bedside of of treatments with his serum. Prince Henry recovered entirely and is in good health to-day.” [ e e i Bl scene she immediately instituted & con- test to wrest the social laurels from Mrs. Rathbone. Her position as wife of the Military Governor of the island gave her a prominence and advantage that Mrs. Rathbone did .not enjoy; yet, despite all this, she falled to dislodge Mrs. Rathbone from her eminent soclal pedestal. From a pseudo friendly passage at arms the contest between the two as- pirants for social leadership grew to dangerous proportions. The mutual dislike of the wives of the two officials came to the surface and forced issues between the husbands. GOVERNOR WOOD'S THREAT. Six months before the postal investi- gation was even thought of Wood re- marked in the presence of the Indian- apolis man heretofore quoted: “They (Neeley ,and Rathbone) have come down here to make money, and I shall see that they don’t do it.” This plainly showed the spirit of Wood. As far as Rathbone was con- cerned he was an inferior officer and, of course, had to bow to the inevitable. This is not to say that Rathbone is en- tirely innocent of the charges made against him by Wood, or that Wood's actions are to be censured. The inves- tigation now in progress will decide that. The nature of sbnsational evidence to be produced by Rathbone against Wood was last night made known by former Havana officials, who it is prob- able will be called upon to testify be- fore the Senate committee which s in- vestigating the charges. This evidence, it is claimed, will show that Rathbone bas every reason for vindication of the court” charges against him and that - - [ | | t'\‘ \ | | | | | | | | i . i | | | | | : | | i | b \E \ | | | | 1 | | i & ‘ S | | { | N 5 | | | | u | e —_—_ | Special Dispatch to The Call.

Only the most heroic measures WHOSE CREW ARE IN A MISSING BOAT. HE | Prunedale, disappeared from his home | on the part of graft-ridden people can L 4 - under circumstances which strongly pointed toward foul play. Several neighbors, among ‘them Rob- ert Filmore, claimed to have seen him just before his disappearance and Fil- more later satd, when closely ques- tioned, that he had seen a telegram from Cartier stating that he was sick at Los ‘Angeles in"a hospital. This re- port was soon proven false. Filmore also reported having stated that Car- tier had been robbed, murdered and that the body was buried. Several ar- rests were made, but nothing proven. Filmore left home soon after and his wife followed. Since then their where- abouts bhas not been known. Ten months ago hunters found blankets be- longing to Cartier hidden 200 yards. from his house, but a thorough search failed to reveal the body. This morning J. Berges, a leader in the French colony of Salinas, received startling news over the telephone fre | San Juan. ' Constable Zanetti asked if he knew Alexander Cartier, and where the man was supposed.to be. Berges gave information of the missing man and Zanetti reported that a young man named Patrick, while hunting quail on the top of the grade of San Juan Hill, in a place known as Robbers Roost and Devils Hole, ten miles from here, came upon a skeleton dresséd in a man's clothing among the dense chaparral. A search brought to light a card with the name, ‘‘Alexander Cartier, Salin- «as”; a memorandum book with the same name and names of several peo- ple of Salinds; a receipt for money paid by Alexander Cartler to Borges & Garriserre of Salinas and other papers, tending to show that the remains are those of the missing French rancher. No gun nor money were found on or 17ear the remains. This news at once revived the belief among the members of the French col- ony that Cartier had been murdered fdr his money. Sheriff Nesbitt of this county was notified and will leave in the morning for San Juan, having sent a request to the Sheriff and Coroner of San Benito County, as Ribbers Roost ‘Wood is to be held accountable ' for many acts which, to say the least, de- mand investigation. is a half mile over the line, to let the remains rest where found till he and -others arrive. » £ stay the hand of the plunderers. The plot to loot the city treasury of this vast sum is concealed in a $25,000,000 loan bill that is to be railroaded through the Council, and if necessary passed over the veto of Mayor Weaver. The political machine that dominates the entire municipal government has hatched it for the sole purpose of mak- ing the’ greatest raid it has ever had the effromtery to undertake, It is generally known that if the loan bill goes through it will mean that at the very leagt one-fifth of the $25,000,000 will fall into the pockets of a gang of “grafters.” Indeed, there are many well-informed men in the city who be- lieve that the corrupt machine will never stop at a theft of $5,000,000, but will pocket mo less than double this amount. So cunningly has the loan bill been framed by the machine’s henchmen that in every provision is a loophole for “graft.” Ineidentally it conceals a trap which is intended to ensnare Mayor Weaver. The leaders of the city ‘ organization are using this bill to force him to show his attitude toward the machine. The bill provides for an appropriation | of $8,000,000 for a continuation of the work on filteration plans, and in this item lies the chief raid on the city treasury. Of this $8,000,000 the machine is scheming to get at least $2,000,000 for its henchmen. There is provision for an outlay of $5,000,000 for the improvement of streets and small parks. Here the “grafters” expect to get about $1,500,000. The blll provides for the expenditure of $1,000,000 on the widening of the Delaware River channel, and here again the machine is plotting to make $200,000 or $300,000. . Out of a provision of $2,500,000 for new schools ‘the “grafters” are plotting to get at least $500,000. Thomas L. Hicks, former Postmaster | | i of Philagelphia, belleves it is a modest estimate to place the figures of the ex- pected loot at $5,000,000. He bases this ate on facts and figures gathered in ths of work. Schooner Scotia Saves Five Sailors Adrift in'an Open Boat. With eighteeri souls aboard: the French bark Francois Cop- pee was wrecked last Friday night off Point Reyes. A small boat containing five of the seamen was picked up Saturday by the schooner Scotia, from San Francisco, and put ashore at Bourne's Landing. or, as it is also known, Bowen’s Landing, on the southern Mendocino County shore. The remainder of the crew is missing. News of the disaster reached this city early last evening. De- tails were difficult to obtain owing. to the lack of telegraphic and telephonic communication with Bourne’s Landing and conflicting reports of the number of men saved and missing and of the way in which the bark was lost were wafted along the local water front. The Merchants’ Exchange exhausted its resources in an endeavor to get authentic particulars of the wreck, but with small success. The Francois Coppee was bound from Newcastle, N. S. W., to this port with coal consigned to Balfour, Guthrie & Co., and was seventy-nine days out when she encountered her fate in the dense fog that has enveloped the northern coast for longer than a week. At the Point Reyes lighthouse the people knew nothing of the wreck until they were informed of it last evening by ‘The Call, nor had the calamity been heard of at any of the coast towns to which inquiry was wired. The nearest telephone station to Bourne's Landing is at Gualala, on the Sonoma-Mendocino line, and the operator there had received no intelligence of the wreck until he was advised of it from this city. Three yvears ago the Franceis Coppee was launched at Nantes, France. She is a fair type of the immense fleet of iron sailing Continued on Page 3, Columns 2 and 3. ~a
