NEW YORK, Oct. 31.—In the midst of the severest break in the present bull market, Wall street was flooded to-day with gossip of how certain men had made fortunes on the rise. Chief among these was Charles M. Schwab, formerly president of the Steel Trust. His winnings for last year were report- ed to be at least $5,000,000 and circum- stances corroborate the statement. Schwab’s campaign began in coffee, in which he cleaned up more than $3,- 000,000. It is ending in Steel preferred. According to report, Herman Sielken, the big coffee merchant, had Schwab bull campaign last winter. Sielken as a bear had drowned the bulls, urder the leadership of the late Leonard Lewisohn, in an ocean of coffee and had broken the price from 12 cents to When the market wavered at the bot- tom Sielken turned, and, with Schwab as a market companion, bought mil- lions of pounds.

He took part in other speculations un- til he was certain the tide had turned in stocks, and especially in Steel. When Steel preferred was at 50 he was almost the only insider to buy openly, and there is apparent proof that he turned his profits made in coffee into Steel pre- ferred at bottom prices. ——e—————— Progress of Cotton Harvest.

SHOOTS FATHER 0 SAVE MOTHER Drink Crazed Man Threat- ens Life of Wife and Son and Is Wounded by Youth Epecial Dispatch to The Call TACOMA, Oct. 31.—In defense of his mother Emil J. Carlson, chief night operator of the Western Union Tele- graph Company, this afternoon shot his father, John B. Carlson, at their home. Carson senior had repeatedly threatened to kill his wife and sor, accompanying his threats with a dis- play of firearms. These threats were usually made after he had bcen drink- ing. He returned last week from Olalla in an ugly mood. When young Carlson returned this afternoon he again threatened to kill both him and his mother. Mr3. Carl- gon and her son hurried upstairs and lccked themselves in a room, the gon telling his father he would shoot him if he tried to enter. The threat had no effect, for the drink crazed man threw his entire weight against the door, breaking it open. The boy then fired two shots, one of which took effect in his father’s stom- ach and inflicted what is believed to be a fata]l wound. He was removed to St. Joseph’'s Hospital.

Oxnard's sugar factory su- perintendent and Senatorial campaign manager, was up a tree and in a crit- fcal position for an hour to-day- Drif- fil happened to enter the cattle yards where thousandgof long-horned Texas bulls are fed beet pulp and a vicious brute charged him. Driffil saw the bellowing fury too late to retreat from the corral the way he had come, so was forced to run for life, though bulky and out of practice. The major is brave, having served long in the State militia and attended many banquets, but all that did not help him out on this occasion. After a wild dash, with the menacing horns not ten feet behing, Driffil reached the opposite side of the corral, oniy to be confronted with a hbarbed wire fence. 1t was too high to leap and he did not dare try to vre’ through. Luckily there®is one bluegum tree in the corral and for this the major made, turning at right angles just as the bull from Texas with a mighty lunge, engeavored ti: send him lnlo eternity.

The major gained his goal, embraced the trunk and frantically clawed his way to the nearest bough. As his feet swung con- vulsively in the empty air the bull jumped after him, one tip of the vicious horns clipping the major's heel. For nearly an hour Drifil was up a tree, all the time in an agony of ap- prehension lest the limb break. He was missed from the factory, found and rescued by vaqueros. He describes the experience as a hot time—hotter than the Bard-Oxnard primaries. e Baldwin's i *lHIP FLIES AGAINST WIND ‘Califormia Arrow” Astounds a St. Lows Exposition Throng.

Spectal Dispatch to The Call. ST. LOUIS, Oct. 3L—With his eld- est son, Gussie, lying prostrate on the ground and an infuriated wild buck deer standing over him ready to paw him to death, Adolphus Busch, the malti-millionaire brewer, fearlessly at- tacked the big deer, and, using a heavy rifle as a club, with a powerful blow stunned the enraged animal temporar- ily. This gave "Augustus Busch time to extricate himself from the perilons tiop, sctae anothar rifq and dis- patch the animal. , Gussie Busch placed himself in a dangerous position while going to the rescue of his young friend, Master Frank Parriso, 15 years old, whom the | buck had first attacked. The deer charged upon the boy, lowered his shaggy head and lifted him on his long and spreading antlers and had started to run through the woods with him. The terrific fight took place on the farm form. rly owned by General U. S. Grant near Old Orchard, in St. Louis County, yesterday afternoon. Adolphus Busch and his son, “Gussie” Busch, | had invited a party of thirty or more { friends down to the farm.

RENO, Oct. 31..—Six horses pulling two wagons heavily loaded with freight walked through the streets of Cherry Creek, a small mining camp in White Pine County, Nevada, one day last week, and as they were accustomed to do stopped before the only livery stable in the camp. The driver, Charles Wag- ner, was sitting on the seat as usual, but when he did not get down and did not yell out as was his custom the stablemen climbed upon the wagon. They were horrified to find that he was dead. Life had been extinct for several hours, the aged teamster having died alone on the desert while he was trav- eling along the road he had so often gone over before. ‘Wagner was sixty years of age and had been engaged in teaming in Ne- vada since 1868. He hauled freight into Virginia City when the Comstock was booming, and since that time has been freighting into Toano, Roche, Fly and other small mining camps. He was a well-educated man and came from a gcod family in Pennsylvania. When a young man he was disappointed in a love affair and came to the West, where he spent his life alone on the plains. ————————— Activity of Chinese Bandits, HARBIN, Oct. 31.—The activity of Chinese bandits is increasing all along the railroad and the region is swarm- ing with Japanese spies in Russian, Cblnele and European disguises, who are offering large rewards for the Chinese engaged in supplying the Russian commissary, hoping thus to eflvplm thc Russian. luvw depart» fifty wild deer collected from various States in the Union. FINDS FORTONE IN A WOODPILE Carpenter Recovers Can of Amalgam Worth $10,000 That WasStolen From Mine SAN BERNARDINO, Oct. 31.—A can containing amalgam valued at $10,000 recently stolen from the Cyrus Noble mine, in the Searchlight district, was found in a woodpile near the mine to- day. The can was accidentally found by a carpenter who was making some repairs, and he, amazed at its weight, took it to an assayer, who soon found out what it was. The name of the thief is known, but the company refuses to divulge it. It has been discovered that soon after the disappearance of the amal- gam the thief gave a small piece of the composition to one of the laborers at the mine, disappearing shortly after- ward. After the finding of the can a guard was placed over the woodplle, but up to to-night the fellow had not appeared to take away his plunder. The authorities are looking for him and express the be- lief that he will soon be apprehended and that they wjll have no trouble making out a case against him. —_———— Damage to Trawlers’ Fleet. LONDON, Oct. 31.—Four commis- sioners, representing the Board of Trade and owners, who were sent on ! October 25 at the suggestion of the Foreign Office to ascertain the dam- age done to the North Sea trawlers by the Russian second Pacific squadron, have just returned and presented a verbal report. Trawlers and fishing gear were destroyed or damaged, they say, and fragments of a four-inch shell which burst on the deck of the trawler Thrush and many other evi- dences of the ‘“deadly and wanton at- tack” were found, while the working efficiency of the whole fleet is serious- Iy diminhlul in consequence of the | crews being unnerved and unable to | work with their accustomed energy. Arrow from the aeronautic course at the Exposition grounds at 3:37 o'clock this afternoon and returned after a re- markable flight at 4:05 o'clock. On the return trip the airship sailed slowly over the exact spot from which it had arisen twenty-eight minutes previously and glided about 100 feet farther west, where it settled gracefully to the ground. : The descent of the Arrow was the signal for a demonstration, the equal of which has not been seen since the wheels of the World's Fair started last April, in response to the pressure on a key by President Roosevelt. Dozens of eager hands were outstretched to grasp the frame of the airship, and the flying machine, with its daring navigator, was carried around the concourse upon the shoulders of the shouting men. Hats were thrown into the air, and when Knabenshue called for three cheers for his home town they were given with a will and another round followed for Knabenshue and Baldwin. SUCCESS FOLLOWS FAILURE. The successful flight came as a cli- max to a day full of discouragement. Baldwin and Knabenshue had worked for tw -siX hours without sleep in order to prepare for the flight, and the first essay at an ascent, with Baldwin himself in command of the airship, had ended disastrously, the Arrow falling suddenly to the ground and breaking o6 of the blades of the propeller. After a hady ceamination Raldwin announced that the damage could be repaired at once, and said that Kna- benshue would attempt another flight in a half-hour. The crowd, which was being momentarily augmerted, cheered the announcement and patiently await- ed while the repairs were being made. At the time fixed by Baldwin the air- ship was again brought from the aero- drome and hastily groomed for - the flight. At a signal from Knabenshue it was cast loose and the motor started. The Arrow arose slightly and easily, its prow directed toward the west. When at a height of about twenty-five feet Knabenshue turned the rudder and the aerial craft, answering to its helm, pointed south and continued its flight without interruption. Knabenshue at that time was not high enough to clear the aeronautic fence, and as he rapidly approached it the crowd held its breath, fearing that the craft would be dashed against (ae barricade and the aeronaut badly, in- jured or perhaps killed. CLEARS THE BARRICADE. Waving his cap to assure those who were following his every move, Kna- benshue moved toward the rear of the airship. The Arrow pointed its prow upward, and, answering the pull of the propeller, soared lightly above the fence and rapidly gained an altitude of about 1000 feet. 'i . LOUIS, Oct. 31.—After circling in every direction at a height of 2000 i feet above the Cascades, in sight of thousands of cheering, enthusiastic spec- ' tators on the World’s Fair grounds, A. Roy Knabenshue of Toledo, in com- mand of the airship California Arrow, to-day returned to the place from which he had started. The airship covered three and a half miles of the round trip under its own power and demonstrates the claims of the inventor, Captain Thomas S.

After proceed- ing one-half to three-quarters of & mile westward Knabenshue turned the air- ship about and again passed over the concourse, at the same time increasing his altitude until he was about 2500 feet above the earth. Sailing first ta the northwest and then to the southeast, occasionally making complete turms, Knabenshue continued in a generally easterly direc- tion until over the Cascades, the cen- ter of the World’s Fair grounds, and about a mile and a half in a direct line from the .point of starting At about that time the barely per- ceptible breeze that had been blowing from the northwest increased to about eight miles an hour and veered to the north. In order to return to the start- ing point it was necessary for Ko~ben- shue to breast this breeze. SPEEDS AGAINST THE BREEZE. He attempted several times to turn to the left and then, suddenly, swung the rudder sharply in the other direc- tion and the Arrow came into the wind, staggered a moment and then, gaining power, came toward the concourse at a speed that caused the spectators t« cheer and to throw their hats into the air. The demonstration was observed by Knabenshue, who leaned far out and waved an empty ballast bag. Without deviation the California Arrow continued on in the teeth of the breeze, gaining speed and rushing toward the concours: n an imposing anner When ~within a few hundred wards of the concourse Knabenshue moved forward; the Arrow responded imme- diately to the downward shift and sailed toward the ground without a diminishment of speed. Knabenshue entered the concourse from the east from a height of about two hundred feet, and, slowing the speed of hig motor, directed the airship directly over the wooden trestles that had supported the Arrow before the flight started. His momentum was too great to admit of stopping exactly in the place from which he had made the ascent, but the airship settled to the ground within one hundred feet. WILL TRY EOR THE PRIZE. Captain Baldwin was extremely op- timistic regarding the future of his airship. He said: “Now I will not be content to leave before I have had several trials for that $100,000 prize. The conditions are rather severe, but I think that the Arrow can make the required distance within the time lmit. ““As a result of to-day’s flight I have unquestionably qualified for a trial. Knabenshue went up with instructions not to go far from the aeronautic con- course and then bring the ship to the ground after a trial of a half hour. He came within two minutes of obey- ing my instructions to the letter.” COMPELS PUPIL T0 SMOKE SCORE ~ OF CIGARETTES School Superintendent Now Faces Criminal Prosecution.
