PR TS NEW YORK, June 21.—Evidence of startling nature, which doubtless ve a most important bearing on the ultimate result of the Coroner’s in- quiry into the General Slocum dlsaster, was forthcoming at the inquest to-day. Perhaps the most unexpected inci- dent was the continued refusal to answer questions of Henry Lund- berg, a United States steamboat inspector, who was supposed to have inspected the life preservers and the hull of the Slocum. His refusal was based on the ground that an an- swer might tend to incriminate him and he acted on the advice of his coun- sel. The Coroner committed Lundberg to the House of Detention, but later ac- cepted, $500 bail for his appearance at the hearing to-morrow, which was sat- | isfactory to the Assistant District At- terney. Second Pilot Weaver of the Slocum testified that he had purchased the fire hose for that boat and Garvan intro- duced evidence to show that the price paid was 40 cents a foot, less 60 per cent, o~ 16 cents per foot net. “Don’t you know that you can't buy good fire hose for less than a dollar or a dollar and a half a foot?” “I don’t know anything about the price of hose,” responded Weaver. Weaver also declared that there had been no fire drill en the Slocum this year. Daniel O'Neill, who, according to his sworn statement, had never worked on a boat until he was hired on the Slo- cum a short time ago, admitted that he had jumped into a rowboat filled with people from the Slocum, capsizing it. Asked if he saved any one, he said there were others doing that and he was not an expert swimmer. He swam shore himself, however. O'Neill de- clared he never saw a fire drill on the boat. Referring to the efforts to throw wa- ter on the fire when it was first discov- ered, O'Neill told of the bursting of | the hose. He ran and got the rubber | washing hose, but the coupling would not fit the sandpipe. This was some of the sensational testimony brought out. By the use of dynamite and heavy guns fired by men from the Second Battery scores of bodies were brought up from the bottom around the shores & 4 INVESTIGATING ATTEMPT TO BURN SAN QUENTIN Prison Officials Are Probing Into the Plot and Leaders Will Be Punished. SAN RAFAEL, June 21.—The prison officials have been quietly in- vestigating the recent attempts to | burn the San Quentin penitentiary. The ringleaders of the plot have been fer- reted out and will be punished. Rich- ard Jessup has already spent a term in the straitjacket and others will be penalized as they deserve. All the prisoners suspected stoutly] assert their innocence, but the eviflence of the plot is conclusive. The desperate men had taken into their confidence several trusties, by whose aid it was expected pistols would be smuggled inside the walls. During the confusion following the outbreak of fire the guards were to be overpowered and a seizure made of the arsenal. It was a bold scheme, but ifwould have been attempted had not the plans miscarried. The prison officials will continue their investiga- tions until all the guilty convicts are rounded up. ‘Woman Appointed to School Board.

Tke two men met in front of Alcorn's e shortly before 4 o'clock to- ard a moment later Alcorn lay dead near by. According to Brooks' story, Alcorn attacked him with a large knifc and monkey-wrench and he shot him in seif-defense. while. on the other hand. Alcorn's relatives, although none cof them saw the shooting affray, state that evidently Brooks simply pulled out his gun and commenced shooting when he saw Alcorn. Ernest Lee was the only cye-witness to the shooting, and it has been im- possible to find him to secure his ac- count of the killing. The only evidence at hand is circumstant This seems to be slightly in favor Brooks, as the knife and wrench were found in the road where the shooting took place. The officers also found a wh which | is said to belong to Brooks, lying near the plow with which Alcorn was work- ing just before Brooks came along the | road. | The death of Alcorn is the culmin tien.of a feud in which family aifairs are chief feature. The men were | raised together, and were alwa | friends until a2 year or more ago. when | Brooks’ wife left him and took up her residence with Mr. and Mrs. Alcorn, | the Jatter having been a chuia of hers for many years. This caused trouble, | and later a divorce suit was filed by Mrs. Brooks, but a decree was denied her. No charge has yet been placed against Brooks, and he refuses to maks | any statemen* other than that he shot in self-defense. e — UNHAPPY GIRL VAINLY | TRIES TO DROWN HERSELF to The Call | Daughter of Colusa Farmer, Tired of Wanderings in Male Attire, Seeks Death in Waves.
