LOUIS, Jan. 18.—Circuit Attorney Sager says he has a witness who will tell all about the alliance between mem- bers of the police and criminals. Bhe is Effie Goldstein. During the World's Falr she had a flat at 2106 Market street, in the heart of the “Bad Lands,” where po- licemen and thieves met to divide the proceeds of thefts. Three policemen also saw Mr. Sager to- day and told of the secrst orders they | had received from superior officers not to molest certain panel workers. The po- licemen will be taken before the Grand Jury on Monday. It is said they may be only the forerunners of dozens of police- men who will volunteer to tell what they know of the protection of criminals by the policemen. Effie Goldstein has substantiated her story by giving names and dates. She will appear before the Grand Jury on Monday and repeat the story. ————ee ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE FORMER KOREAN OFFICIAL Y1 Chi Yeng Stabbed Eleven Times by = Man Sald to Be His " Interpreter.

SRR Learns of Rich Strike i in the Anaconda Copper Mine. H. H. Rogers Fails in Attempt to Entice Mrs. Daly Into Selling Stock. Special Dispatch to The Call, NEW YORK. Jan. 13.—In explanation of the recent sensational rise in the stock of the Anaconda Copper Mining Com- pany, from 189 to 29 in the space of ten days,” and of how John W. Gates “‘wal- loped” the Standard Oil crowd, a story is | told in Wall street which, if true, as It is said to be, would form another inter- esting chapter in “frenzied finance” and further illustrate the methods of the “system.” Several weeks ago the Amalagamated Copper Company received secret informa- tion of a big strike of rich ore at the 160)-foot level of the Colusa mine, and a | still richer vein, running as high as 30 per cent copper in spots, in the Anaconda mine. For years the impression had been publicly given out that the Anaconda, which is one of the greatest silver pro- ducing mines in the world, was not show- ing great profit because of the low price of silver and was not mining copper very profitably, the ore being of an inferior grade. MRS. DALY REFUSES TO SELL. The price of silver has been steadily ad- vancing until recently it sold at 65 7-§ cents for commercial bars, Silver mining has again become " profitable: and the strike of the rich copper vein made the Anaconda an even more valuable prop- erty than when- it established the great fortune of Marcus Daly, With their secret safely concealed, the Standard Oil interests approached Mrs. | Marcus Daly recently and offered to buy her stock, which represents the greater share of the minority stock. They ex- | pressed a willingness to take her entire holdings. Mrs. Daly was not anxious to sell. She said she had always re- ceived a good income frgm her holding and that she had great faith in her Ana- conda mine. Mr. Daly to his dying day had believed that its riches had never vet been unfolded “Mrs. Daly, your stock is selling at 189,” the representative of H. H. Rogers is re- ported to have said. “Mr. Rogers will give you 300 for your stock.” The offer was tempting. Mrs. Daly said she would consider it. She was all the time ignorant of the big strike. The Standard Oil crowd was silent on the sub- Ject. While Mrs. Daly was considering the offer, the news of it came to John W. Gates. The latter suspected something unusual had occurred to make the stock valuable so suddenly. He, therefore, dis- patched a confidential man to Butte, Mont., to investigate. GATES MAKES A FEW WAGERS. The agent discovered the truth and wired to Gates, who is sald to have forth- with offered Mrs. Daly 350 for her stock and at once began to buy all the avail- able stock in the market At the same time he made several $10,000 bets that Anaconda would cross 300 before the end of the year. Anagonda bégan to jump until at 11:30 o’clock on December 81 it touch 298. Gates had all but won his bets. The Standard Ofl erowd heard of Gates' bets and his offer to Mrs. Daly. Just before the closing hour they sent in a flood of selling orders and broke Anaconda to 282. A great struggle followed. Gates ral- lied the stock to 289, but he lost all of his bets. But Gates has had his revenge. The truth about the Anaconda strike has been made known to all the world, the Rogers crowd has been outwitted and Mrs. Daly still has her stock. KANSANS IN EVENING DRESS SURPRISE HIM Rich Baltimorean the Only Improperly Garbed Man at a Dinner. — Spectal Digpatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.—Representa- tive Campbell of Kansas introduced a rallroad rate bill that so pleased a Bal- timore manufacturer, named Patterson, that he gave a dinner last night to | Campbell, his wife nngv some other Kansans in the New illard Hotel. The Kansas men there were in full evening dress and the Kansas women in fine evening gowns. Patterson ap- peared in a rusty black frock coat, a turn-down collar and a made-up tie. He carried a black slouch hat. When he met his guests he ws appalled. “Why,” he said, “I am astonished. T have been reading what Willlam Allen White has written about Kansas and the way people out there dress and never gave a thought to costume. T thought these were the kind of clothes Kansans always wear.” 5 —_———————— © Moranles Flees to Porto Rico.

A ¥ POLICEMAN PREVENTS ) TRACEDY - as He Tries to Kill Wife, Fred McCready Wroth at Unfaithfulness of His Spouse. Woman'’s Paramour Escapes as Officer and Friend Sub- due the Husband. BOCE A OAKLAND, Jan. 13—To prevent the killing of two persons Policeman Harry N. McCready had a desperate battle early Friday morning with his brother Fred L. MecCready at 1065 Tenth ave, where Fred McCready had encouhtered a strange man in the house with Mrs. McCready. The startling disclosure was the result of an accidental meeting of the patrolman with his sister-in-law on an electric car Thurs. day night. The policeman saw the woman with a stranger on the car riding toward East Oakland. OfMcer McCready's suspicions were uroused and he sent for his broth- er, who for years has been a tender'at Webster-street drawbridge. It appears thut the bridge tender and his wife had been at the theater to- gether during the evening and that he left her to go to his post of duty at the bridge. Later Mrs. McCready had met the stranger with whom she was seen by Patrolman McCready. As soon as Harty McCready had sum- moned his brother.the twa men, .with A. L. Hoo her-in-law, went to- gether to Bast 4, Fred McCready broke Into the house, followed by _his brother. The husband’s suspicions wers quiekly verified. In the home was a man and the conditions were such as to mad- den the husbgnd. He drew a pistol but just as he was about to shoot his wife and her companion the brother and Hook grappled with him and dragged him into another room. The three battled together, but Fred McCready was overpowered, hand- cuffed and dragged into another room. During the struggle the _stranger jumped through a bedroom window and escaped. He has not heen identified. The policeman and Hook kept the mad- dened husband away from his wife and calmed him so that he agreed not to harm her. Mrs. McCready made a confession of wrong-doing to her husband in the pres- ence of McCready and Hook. Fred Mc- Cready left the house and went to his brother’s home.. At the residence was Fred MeCready's daughter, May, five years old, who went in the morning to the home of Mrs/ McCready's mother, Mrs. P. Campbell, at 2329 Carlton street, Berkeley. Fred McCready will not talk concerning the trouble. His brother denied to-night that any shooting had been done, saying: “I took a pistol from Fred before we got to the house. I do not know where he got the weapon he aimed over my shoulder at his wife and her compan- fon when we discovered them In the room. As soon as I saw the pistol I grappled with Fred and Hook also grabbed him. “I grasped his:wrist and turned the muzzle of the pistol upward, but Fred 4id not shoot, as the gun was caught too quickly. We handcuffed him to. make sure he would do no physical injury to his wife. We have her confession from her and my brother will sue for a di- vorce at once.” Fred McCready enjoys an excellent reputation in the community. Hes is heartbroken over the occurrence. ————— STEAMSHIP CHEROKEE _ STILL FAST ASHORE Passengers and Crew Com- pletely Cut Off From ‘Outside World. ATLANTIC CITY, N.J, Jan. 13.—The sixty persons who comprise the passen- gers and crew of the big Clyde Hne steam- ship Cherokee, which went ashore early yesterday in Brigantine shoals, are com- pletely cut off from the outside world to-night. Not since 4 o'clock this after- noon has there been a signal from the vessel. At that hour the captain signaled that all were well and that the vessel was lying easy, with her nose stuck deep in the sand. Eariler in the day a signal had been re- ceived from the stranded steamship, ask- ing that lighters be sent out as soon as possible. Word was dispatched to the Delaware Breakwater for the lighters and they are expected to reach the Cherokee early to-morrow morning. Rumors were in circulation here to-day that the crew of the Brigantine Life Sav- ing Station had been lost while returning to the shore from the Cherokee. Com- munication with the Cherokee dispelled the fears of the friends of the life savers, when it was learned that the men were safe on board the stranded vessel. 01d captains who are familiar with the coast say theré is no danger jof the Chero- kee going to pleces.

TAUCHT BY WOMEN 1S 34D FOR BOYS Thus Asserts Official || Who Would Oust Fair Educators. JERSBY CITY, N. J, Jan 13.—Ac- cording to the opinion of Joel Stevens, chairman of the Ninth Ward Improve- ment Assoclation, women are not fit persons to teach boys, because the boys whom they teach turn out to be bullies and are too effeminate. Now an effort 18 being made to remove all of the women teachers and substitute men. In speaking of the matter to-day Stevens sald: “Women teachers make boys effemin- ate. When they come out of the class- room the first boy they meet in the street ‘soaks’ them on the head, and they are afrald to hit back. I have watched public school children in the strect and I find that they are not hardy children, such as we had when men taught us. “The public school boy and the public school girl are on a par, as far as cour- age is concerned. They are always seeking too hit some one smaller than themselves. I think this physical cow- ardice is brought about by being taught by women. In the near future our boys will jump on chairs when a mouse en- ters the room. “Men should teach the children. One man is worth ten women in the school- room.” —————— RUSSIA SUPPORTS FRANCE IN MOROCCAN DISPUTE De Witte Does Not Believe That Ger- many Will Go to Extreme 4 Measures. ST.
