The Commission- | ers inspected two theaters and will continue their work to-morrow morn- ing. Assistant Chiefs Dougherty, Shaughn- essy, Wells and Conlon of the Fire De- partment made an inspection of the theaters yesterday and found that the | Faws were fully complied with in refer- ence to fire appliances and the proper | insulation of electric wires. The various theaters in the city are equipped with the auxillarywire alarm system and there is no possible chance for the slightest delay in turning in an alarm in the event of fire. The man- agers of the theaters will not make | any public statement until the Board | of Public Works files its report with Mayor Schmitz. The report of the | Board of Public Works will deal with the construction of the theaters and the modes of exit supplied for the au- | diences of the places of amusement. | R SR | BERLIN THEATER IN DANGER. Fire Is Started by Defective Wire, | but Is Quickly Extinguished. BERLIN, Jan. 2.—A fire caused by a short circuited electric wire started last night in the cloakroom of the | new Royal Theater during a perform- ance of “A Midsummer Night's Dream.” A fireman stationed at the | theater discovered the flames and put them out without the audience being alarmed. The historic Royal Opera-house is the only theater in the city not re- | garded as safe. The Chicago disaster probably will. hasten its reconstruc- tion, which has long been considered. President of Police von Bories, Fire Chief Giersberg and several other ex- perts went over the opera-house to- day, examining the electric lighting, the stage arrangements and the work- ing condition of the asbestos curtain, with the object of reporting to Em- peror Willlam the present condition of the opera-house and what changes are essential to place it in the highest state of safety. N PANIC IN NEW YORK THEATER. Police Use Clubs to Check Rush of Audience for the Exits. NEW YORK, Jan. 2.—An immense holiday audience which packed the | Thalia Theater on the Bowery at to- xduy'n matinee performance all but re- peated the scenes of wild panie in the Chicago Iroquois Theater when a | shrill cry of “Fire” rang through the house. Only the chance circumstances that several policemen were standing in the lobby at the moment and met the emergency with strong measures checked the wild, unreasoning frenzy of the audience in its desire to escape from the building by the main en- | trance. Clubs and fists met the rush the moment it began, the- police and the employes of the theater breasting the crowd and literally lifting the leaders from their feet and forcing them into seats. The attack of the police from the front was as sudden as had been the false fire alarm and served in a mo- ment to quiet the crowd and avert what could not have failed to have been a murderous stampede.

GLASGOW, Jan. 2.—A large num- ber of Clyde marine engineers re- ceived cable orders from the Japanese Government to-day to proceed im- mediately to Japan. These engineers were engaged by the Japanese Gov- ernment six months ago, on the un- derstanding that they would be called upon if active service were probable.

A brilliant reception and banquet were given to-day aboard the battleship Osstiabyra by Admiral Wireniss, in command of the squadron, who toast- ed the alliance between France and Russia. General Pinchon, the French resident general in Tunis, responded, expressing on behalf of the French | people in Tunis unalterable affection for Russla and the Russians. JOKERS STOP A PAST TRAIN Supposed Bandits in Washing- ion Prove to Be Intoxicated Dancers and May Go to Jail gl TACOMA, Jan. 2.—Northern Pacific train No. 4, running from Portland to Tacoma, was signaled this morning one mile west of Rainier, in Thurston County, about thirty.miles from Taco- ma, by three men, who were thought by the train men to be robbers. Investiga- tion proved that they were young men of the neighborhood returning from a dance. They were, it is said, partially intoxicated, and signaled the train as a practical joke. The train was runhing at rapid speed and rounding & curve, and the engineer did not bring it to a stop until he had run 300 yards past the place where the men were standing. Several of the train men ran back, and as they neared the supposed robbers the latter mounted their horses and rode away. Sheriff Denholm of Pierce County and Sheriff McCarthy of Thurston County | investigated the case to-day and found | that the young men had admitted at Rainjer that they stopped the train as Superintendent Albee of the He will not permit of any trifling with the | trains, particularly those carrying the United States mails. The young men were not in the neighborhood when the officers arrived and have not yet been found. CIVES HER SO 10 WIFE' CARE Special Dispatch to The Call. PARIS, Jan. 2.—Mrs. Fred Sharon has discontinued all legal proceedings against her son, John C. Breckinridge, whose custody she wished to wrest from his young wife, striving at the same time to have him declared insane and a custodian appointed. Joseph D. Redding, a lawyer of San Francisco, has crossed the ocean several times to effect this arrangement, and to-day Henry Peartree of the law firm of Coudert Brothers, has all the necessary papers, including a letter to Dr. Ar- naud from Mrs. Sharon, requesting him | to follow Mrs. Breckinridge's wishes in | regard to the future care of the latter’s husband. Breckinridge is said to be much bet- ter mentally and to have recovered from the injury to his spine, caused by jumping out of a window while under the surveillance of doctors. Mrs. Sharon has recelved her daugh- ter-in-law and the grandson born last September has been christened John C. ‘Breckinridge: Young Breckinridge inherits a for- tune from his grandmother and his father. He will be taken back to Cali- fornia as soon as his health admits, Redding says Mrs, Sharon has acted very generously in the premises, —_———— Attempts Suicide in a Cell.

RUMOR EXCITES THE ISTHMIANS Report of the Sinking of Co-| lombian Warship by Ameri- can Gunboat Not Confirmed et e i Special Cablegram to The Call and New York Herald. Copyright, 1903, by the New York Herald Publishing Company. PANAMA, Jan. 2.—Intense excite- ment prevailed in the streets of Pan- ama this morning because of the re- port that the Colombian warship Gen- eral Pinzon had been sunk by an American gunboat off the coast of San Blas. The only details given were that the Pinzon was in Panama waters when | she was hailed by the American vessel. | The Pinzon, it {s said, fired the first shot, and was then quickly blown to pieces. The first rumors did not men- tion the name of the American war- ship, but later stories supplie: the name of the Castine, alleging thht the latter was on her way back to Colon, | carrying the survivors of the General Pinzon, A thorough investigation failed to re- veal an authent'c origin for the strange gossip. Naval officers, who were the last to hear the report, gave it no cre- dence. It was assumed that the ru- mor followed in the natural sequence | the news of the taking from San Blas | by the Pinzon of the Indian chief In- anaquina. The Castine was sent to investigate the Inanaquina affair for the navy. | Reports from Darien announce that Colombian soldiers are desplaying great energy in building trochas and roads. The Panamans are confident that some move will be made soon. The dry season has now begun, making it easier to march through the mountains. Some persons express thé belief that the Co- lombians will enter Panama territory and attempt to obtain a strong position in the hills, which they will entrench, in order to prove to treaty opponents in the United States that Colombia has not relinquished her claim to and actu- ally holds some ground in Panama. COLON, Jan. 2.—The reported sinking of the Colombian gunboat General Pin- zon by an American warship is still un« confirmed and is discredited here. The auxiliary cruiser Mayflower, with Admyral Coghlan on board, which left | Colon yesterday morning, returned here | late yesterday evening from Puerto Ca- ‘bello, where the cruiser Atlantic is pa- trolling. The gunboats Bancroft and Castine were last reported off the San Blas coast. It is believed probable that they have ‘gone to Cartagena to demand the release of the Indian chief Inanaquina, who is reported to have been captured by Celombians, The cruiser Olympia is coaling at Chiriqui. The supply steamship Cul- goa arrived here yesterday. WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.—All the sup- ply departments of the army have made arrangements for the transporta- tion of troops and supplies from New York to San Francisco and thence to the isthmus of Panama in case such a | movement is determined upon. Plans | also have been considered for the con- | struction of a large storehouse and temporary barracks on Panama terri- | tory, and it is estimated that $500,000 | may be required for such construction. | CIRL AFFECTS BOT'S RAINENT LOS ANGELES, Jan. 2.—Pretty Jes- sle Barclay, just 16 years of age, the daughter of respectable parents, but who, despite all that money can sup- ply in the way of home comforts, has repeatedly run away from home, was | found by the police to-night in a cheap rooming-house, where for ten days she had been living as a boy. She was at- tired in boy’s clothing and had all the appearanees of being a member of the sterner sex. It was only through a trivial illness that her sex was revealed to the landlady, who informed the po- | lice. The girl left home two weeks ago and since then had first secured a job as driver of a dirt wagon for a grading contractor, and although she was in company with scores of men none of them suspected her sex. That work was too hard for her and she secured employment as elevator “boy” in the Los Angeles Trust building. There she saw daily persons whom she had known for years, but none of them recognized her. Meantime the police had been looking everywhere for her and finally came to the con- clusionsthat she had left the city. After her arrest to-night she stated that she had been asked by a police- man whether she knew Bessie Bar- clay. She declares that she will not live at home and will not wear dresses. On this subject the girl's mind seems to be turned. Several weeks ago she ran away from home and was found on a steamer at San Pedro, where she had secured a position as cabin boy. Her identity was discovered only by the accidental knocking off of her cap, which let her hair fall over her shoul- ders. The captain delayed sailing un- til an officer could be sent from Los Angeles to bring her to her home. She is more than ordinarily handsome. —_———— Telephone Collector Missing. James F.
