GEORGE RUMBLE BEFORE A JURY Being Tried for Working an Alleged Mining Fraud Upon Eastern Investors DIVIDENDS ON PAPER RGN s Twenty Per Cent Per Annum Offered to His Purported Vietims for Their Money George W. Rumble, a mining specu- lator, was placed on trial before a jury yesterday in the United States District | Court on a charge of having made use | of the United States postoffice for the | purpose of defrauding his correspond- | ents by means of worthiess mining schemes d by false representations. The tes ony of one of the alleged victims, John Bull Jr. of Eimira, New York, was taken and the court ad- journed until 11 a. m. to-day. The indictment accuses Rumble of having corresponded through the post- office with Frank Terry, Dix W. Smith and John Bull Jr., representing to them that he was the owner, secretary and general manager of the Sunset Mining Company, capitalized at $10,000,000, the stock being divided into shares gt $1 each. There were alleged to be twelve gold mines under his control, namely, the Old Glory, the Amo Mine, the Amo Hydraulic Mine and others in Butte, Shasta and Siskiyou counties, and that the BSunset .Mining Company stock wes paying dividends at the rate of 2 per cent month and had been pay ing at that rate for the last nine years. Rumbie represented also that some of | the ore assaved from $500 to $800 a ton, | that from the Old Glory in one year had been taken §72,812 and that a sur- plus of $25531 had been found after paying the 2 per cent dividends and all expenses The trial is being closely watched by James O’Connell, Postomfice Inspector, who has spent several monthe in secur- ing evidence against the defendant.

Ross and concurred in by his associates, Morrow, Gilbert | passage of the resolution authorlzinx!vlsors yesterday. and Hawley, the responsibility for the | loss of life in the wreck of the steam- ship.City of Rio de Janeiro was placed upon the shoulders of the Pacific Mail | Steamship Company. The decision of de Haven that the liability of the com- pany should be limited to $24,977 93 was | reversed. His decision also that Clara | Barwick was not entitled to any dam- ages for the death of her husband, the ship’s butcher, on the ground that he was a fellow servant, was also reversed and the lower court was instructed to give her whatever damages the testi- mony already taken or to be taken might show her to be entitled to. Judge de Haven's action in denying the claim of Ruth Miller, as executrix of the estate of Sarah Wakefield, was sustained. CREW NOT COMPETENT. The decision of the court of appeals | is based upon the proposition that all | of the Chinese crew of the Rlo could | not speak or understand English and | that the crew, therefore, was inade- | quate for the exigency that arose. Hence the company was held respon- | sible for the loss of life that followed upon the incapacity of the crew to launch the life boats properly. | In the District Court the successful | claimants recovered damages to the amount of $35,125, which was to be paid | pro rata with $24,977 83, the sum to | which the court had limited the liabil- ity. The Rio, while attempting, on Febru- ary 22, 1901, to enter the harbor of San Francisco in a dense fog at half past 5 o'clock in the morning, struck upon a | sunken rock or reef outside the /Golden Gate and sank within twenty minutes, drowning about 200 persons, moslly‘ | Hayes | were granted amateur permits for May | Chinese. The following extracts are from Judge Ross’ decision: AMPLE TIME FOR BOATS. | The evidence s that under such conditions five minutes was ample time for the lowering of the boats. It further shows that there was no among the passengers or crew, that the passengers behaved well, and that the cap- | tain immediately upon the ship's striking the rocks sounded t arm and called the crew 1o the boate. of the boats was com- manded by @ white officer and manned by a part of the Chinese crew. Yet but three of the eleven boats were lowered into the water, one | the aft-quarter boat No. 10, ' was | ; Otficer Coghlan and the ship's car- | Jowered | penter, and but three of the hundred and odd passengers that the ship carried were taken into any boat. There must, in the very nature | of things, have been some paramount, control- ling_cauee for all this. And that cause, we | very easily to be seen. It was not | merely for the reason that the men depended | upon to man the boats were Chinese, To the contrary the evidence is that the Chinese make excellent sallors. MUST UNDERSTAND ENGLISH. But how about Chinese sailors or sailors of any other cl or race who cannot understand the orders that become necessary | in the course of their duties because of a lacky of knowledge of the language in which they have to be given? That's the question we | have to consider and determine here. | The decision quotes an opinion by | Judge Hawley in re Meyer, 74 Fed. | Rep., 885, in which the law is laid down that it is the duty of the own-| officers and crew adequate in num- { the protest will be withdrawn. i referred to the Street Committee. i Chief Dougherty, the Fire Commission vesterday entered a protest with the Board of Supervisors against the final | the Santa Fe Railway System to close‘i Eighteenth street from Minnesota to | Towa street for one year.

The roadway of Scott street, between | McAllister street and Golden Gate ave- | nue, was fully accepted. The board drew a demand in favor of the Sime estate for $10,250 for lands | purchased by the city in the condemna- tion proceedings for the acquirement of St. Mary’s Square. The contract for publishing the law and motion calendar and the journal of proceedings of the Board of Super- visors was awarded to the Recorder Company for $275 a month. H George Ryan was granted a permit | to blast for grading purposes on Army street near York and his bond was fixed at $25,000. The San Francisco Construction Company was granted a permit to ex- | plode blasts in order to break the bowlders in the sewer trench in Duboce | avenue, between Church and Market | streets, its bond being fixed at $3000. Maurice Reardon was before the Finance Committee to explain why he | charged 90 cents each for putting steel ends on picks belonging to the city, whereas the price charged for the picks in open market was only 65 cents each. Evidence was adduced that the ! former price for the work was $1 a | pick and that they could be purchased | cheaper because they were manufac- tured in large lots. The committee de- ! cided to hear further evidence next ‘Wednesday morning before passing | Reardon’s demard for $192 50. _ SR R M TR S AUGUST CHAMOT OWNS GOLD SEAL OF CHINESE PRINCE Relic Is of Modern Origin and Is Not Subject to Government Seizure. August Chamot of 711 Pine street, the American citizen who was made a mandarin of China in 1902 at the so- i | | i | 1 !ers of a steamer carrying goods and |licitation of Li Hung Chang, is the| ex-convict, was | passengers to provide the vessel with | owner of the famous gold seal offered to the Selby Smelting and Lead Com- | ber and competent for their duty with | pany for refinihg and which was said intended route; for ordinary duties of an uneventful voyvage, but for any exigency that is| likely to happen, such as in the case of | the Rio. | After quoting several other author- | ities on this peint the decision goes| on to say: The case shows that the City of Rio de! Janeiro left the port of Honolulu on the voyage under consideration with a crew of | eighty-four Chinamen, officered by white men. | The officers could not eveak the language of two of the latter—the | boatswain and chief fireman—could under- stand that of the efficers. Consequently : orders of the officers had to be communicat: either through the boatswain or chief fireman, | or by signs and signals. So far as appears ihat seemed to have worked well enough on the voyage in question until the ship came to griet and there mrose the necessity for quick DRILL NEGLECTED. In that emergency the crew was wholly incfficient and incompetent, as the sad resuits pro The boats were in separate places on the ship: the sailors could not understand the language in Wwhich the orders of the officers in command of the respective boats had to bs given; it was too dark for them to see signs (if signs could have been intelligently given) and only one of the two Chinese who spoke English appears to have known anything about the lowering of boats, and there had been no drill of the crew in the manner of lowering them. Under such circumstances it fs not surprising that but three of the boats were lowered, one of which was successtully launched by the efforts of Officer Coghlan and the ship’s carpenter, another of which was swamped by ome of the Chinese crew letting fter fall down Wwith & Tun and the third hich lowered so slowly that it was swemped as the ship went down. We have Do hesitation in holding that the ship was insufficiently manned, for the reason that the sallors were unable ‘to understand and exe- cute the orders made imperative by the ex- nd resulted so0 disastrou: well as to property, 1t results from what has been said that the court below also erred in denving Ap- pellant Clarg Barwick's claim, made on her own behalf and that of her minor children, for aamages for the death of her husband, on the that he was a fellow servant of the master snd pilot ef the ship. The action of the court in respect to the claim of Ruth Miller, executrix of the estate of Sarah Wakefleld, deceased, was, in our epinion, correct. “The judgment is reversed and the cause re- manded. with directions to the court below to enter judgment against the petitioner dens- ng its application for a limitation of llability in favor of the respective claimants for the full amount of damages it has heretofore awarded them, with interest and costs, in favor of the claimant, Clara Barwici such amount of damages the court shall find from the evidence already taken or that may be taken she is entitled to by reason of of her husband, and by reason of | the loss of his pe: effects, and against the claim of Ruth Miller as executrix of tne estate of Sarah Wakefleld, deceased. ———— Chinese Accused of Murder.

Prince Li Ching Wong is stil | in the land of the living and was one of the members of the royal family that took sides against the reigning dynasty at the time of the Boxer out- { break. Had that movement succeeded the seal would have been official ana worth more than its bullion weight of | $5000, but as the ideals of the Prince and his party were not reached, the seal, which had been intended for fu- ture use, had no value except the com- mercial significance of its purity of gold. It was placed on the market after the downfall of the Roxers and soid | to- a French priest, who later sold it to August Chamot, who brought it to San Francisco. Though much more valuable, from a commercial view- point, than any of the jade seals |seized by the Government after the, Peking bout, it is not subject to seiz- ure, as it was simply private property sold for its weight in gold. It now occupies a place among the curios owned by August Chamot. ————— Mrs. Botkin Granted Delay. At the request of Attorney George A. Knight sentence of life imprison- ment upon Mrs. Cordelia Botkin for the rhurder of Mrs. Elizabeth Dunning was postponed by Judge Cook yester- day for two weeks.

If we may accept Andrew Lang as a conservative reviewer | of more than twenty years' labor, we shall reach this conclusion that there is something in the constitution of man which science has not yet explained. ! Dr. W. J. Tull gave some instances | which would strengthen the founda- | tion upon which the Rev. Mr. McEl- hinney raised his theory. In doing so | Dr. Tull mentioned a Miss Helene Smith, a clerk in a store In Geneva, Bwitzerland, a girl with no affiliation | with psychic research or Investigators, that had amazed those that had learn- ed of her powers. MISS SMITH'S CLAIMS. Miss Smith, said Dr. Tull, claims in- timate communication with Leopold, a citizen of Mars, who, she holds, was of Paris. Dr. Mesmer later gave to the world his method of mesmerism. Miss Smith claims that Leopéld had learned hypnotism from Althotus, the last of the Greeks that taught it, and asserts that she is in communication with Leopold. Dr. Tull disowned belief in spiritual- ism. The Rev. James Woodworth, Rev. F. { L. Nash, Rey. Mr. Sitton and Rev. F. A. Doane joined in the interesting dis- cussion.
