Horner, .ice-president of the Z. L. Parmalee Co. and widely known in this and other business communities, was drowned to-day at Manhattan beach near Redondo while bathing in the surf. He lost his life only after a heroic effort had been made to save him by W. Anderson, one of his em- ployes, Anderson remalning with the drowning n.an until only the absolute necessity of saving his own life caused him to release his hold. Horner and Andersop, torether with a large party of the Employes of the company, went to the beach for a day's outing and seven members of the party went into the surf. Horner was a strong swimmer and he swam out be- vond the shore waves and called Anderson to him. Before Anderson reached him Horner began calling for help. Anderson immediately respond- ed and a desperate battle - with {he waves began. Horner weighed about 200 pounds and he seei.ed utterly un- | able to help himself, but with Ander- =on’s assistance he floated on his back for fully fifteen minutes while the latter strove heroically to get out of the rough breakers with his burden. Two others broke into the boat house nearby and pulled out an old boat, but the craft was leaky and the struggling pair of human beings in the water could not be reached. All efforts to save the men with ropes failed. The two were pounded in the breakers and frequently separated, but not until Horner turned over face forward and gave up the fight did Anderson desert bis charge and attempt to save him- self. ‘Thoroughly exhausted with his long battle with the waves, Anderson had a hard fight to reach the shore, but he finally accomplished it with the as- sistance of his friends. Horner's body floated on the water and came in near enough to be secured by other bathers. Horner leayes a family.

Special Disgatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, HOTEL BARTON, “\WASHINGTON, . June 5.—In the con- troversy between the President and Senators and other party leaders who oppose the selection of Sacretary Cor- telyou for chairman of the Republican National Committee, Mr. Roosevelt has won his point and those who crulcmed‘ the choice stand ready to yield without further contention, according to Inti- mates of the administration. It is at least quite certain that the President has not-changed his mind and will not. This little affair at one time looked ominous, but when the President, after summing up all criticisms and sugges- tions and analyzing their reasons, an- nounced that he still stood by Cortel- you, the leaders saw that further ob- Jection was useless. Had former Governor Murray Crane of Massachusetts been willing to ac- ¢ept, the question would have been solved without any difficulty whatever. But wheh the names of Senators Pen-| rose and Gallinger, Governor Murphy of New Jersey and J. W. Blythe were presented it was found there could he no agreement even among the leaders themselves. Then it was that the Pres- ident decided upon Cortelyou. An interesting story reached Wash- ington by way of Towa last night to the effect that J. Pierpont Morgan and J. J. Hill had demanded J. W. Blythe for national chairman as the price of their friendship to Mr. Roosevelt dur- ing the campaign. This was very quick- ly “nailed” to-day by a member of the administration, who, more than an: one else, except the President himself, has been concerned in the naming of the campaign manager. He said the report was absolutely absurd. —_— {FRANCIS FOR SECOND PLACE. | | | SR 4 World's Fair President May Be Park- | ir | seems little hope of reviving before er's Running Mate.

NEW YORK, June 5 — Light has been shed upon the mystery which surrounded the death of ‘“Ceasar” Young: Developments were rapid to- day and, though it has not been de- termined just how he died, reasons multiply for believing he did not take his ewn life. “Nan” Randolph Patterson, who was held without bail pending an investi- gation and who will have an examina- | tion to-morrow, spent Sunday in the Tombs.

It was thought a few days ago that Hermann's land office record would cut down his majority to a low fig- .ure, but later returns indicate a plur- ality: of 3000 votes. Congressman J. N. Willlamson, in the Second District, will have a plural- ity of 10,000 or more. He has not taken an active part in the campaign, his duties at Washington detaining him after the close of the session. The only other State officer to be chosen at this time is Justice of the Supreme Court. Frank A. Moore, Republican, will have an easy victory over Judge Thomas O'Day, Democrat. Two questions are proposed by an initiative petition, viz: A local option law and a direct primaries election law. The Liquor Men's Associafion has made a hard fight on the local option law. It is generally conceded that the country vote will be sufficient to over- come the city's expected majority agalinst the measure. The direct pri- maries law will be carried.

These letters are not of-a threatening nature, though in them *“Nan™ Patterson announced that she could mot permit Young to leave her. TURFMAN'S LAST TRYST. No other man knew so much of the manner of Young’s life as did his brother-in-law, Willlam Luse. Young told Luse he had at last come to real- ize that he had made a great mistake in becoming entangled with the ac- tress. It was upon the advice of Luse that Young consented to take a long trip through Europe. Luse advised Young to make the woman understand he was in earnest in his intention to leave her. Late Friday afternoon Young learn that “Nan"” Patterson had spent the - ternoon at Gravesend, attempting to see him there. A telephone message was received from the woman. She told Young she must see him, and it is said on good authority that she then sajd that if Young did not come to her she would take her life. Young told Luse of this threat, and, though neither man believed. the woman would put it into execution, it was decided that Young should see her, Luse being near by to prevent any sensational demonstration. Thereupon it was agreed that ‘“Nan” Patterson should meet Young and Luse in a restaurant at One Hundred and Sixteenth street and Eighth avenue at 10 o’clock Friday night. Young and Luse rode down to the restaurant. ‘““Nan™ was there by ap- LONDON, June 65.—The whole of the $160,0600,000.

CHEFTU, June 6, 10:30 a. m.—But two les separated the Japanese and Rus- sian armies on Liaotung peninsula on June 2, actording to Chinese who have arrived here from Dalny. - The Japanese army, reinforced by the men that landed at Dalny, oecupied Twingching and Senchimpo, southwest of Dainy. It then proceeded along the east coast toward Port Arthur. On one side of the army are high mountains and on the other side is the sea, from | which the Japanese gunboats are sup- | porting the flank of the army. On June 2 the Japanese forces were within seven miles of the outer forts of Port Arthur and only two miles from the Russian army, which is ready to protest their further advance. The Chinese believed that there would be a big battle at this point. It is also stated by the Chinese that the Japanese have moved their base to Dalny. from Talienwan. The larger Japanese ships are anchored outsids and the smaller ones inside the harbor. Troops are being landed, they say, from small vessels, apparently coming from Pitzwo or the Elliott islands. The Chinese further reported that a number of Chinese have been shot while attempting to get through the Russian lines.

The Japanese naval authorities engaged in clearing out the mines in the vicinity of Talienwan Bay are employing Jap- anese shell divers from Kushiu Prov- ince for the purpose. These divers volunteered for this work and are won- derfully expert. It is said that with their diving paraphernalia they can re- main under water for a half day at a time. Hundreds of Japanese fisher- men are volunteering to assist in clear- ing away the Russian mines, and it is probable that some of them will be used for this work. RS ‘War News Continued on Page 3,
