Survivor Says Men Who Landed First | Deserted Those on Ship. SEATTLE, Jan. 28.—Recrimination is the latest feature of the Valencia horror. Almost every one concerned, the dead and the living, has been criticised. “Why didn’'t the steamships save us?"’ | cry those who were saved. “Why were the boats not properly manned cry those who were washe ashore. “Why didn’t you come back to us when you got to land?’ cry those who clung weary hours to the rigging. “W wasn’t there a modern lifeboat cry some. “Why wasn't help sent sooner?” say others. “Why didn’t you save the women and children?” is asked. “Was everybody a coward?” ‘“Where was your boasted discipline?”’ Frank F, Bunker of California, the newly appointed Superintendent of Schools here, who was one of the sur- an open letter charges the Pacific Coast Steamship Company with having plugs ir the lifeboats which did not fit, life pre- servers filled with reeds and general neg- lect of life-saving apparatus. In reply to this C. Allison of St. Paul, one of the raft survivors, says: Why did everybody run away from us? Mr. Bunkers' statement was read to me to. night. His questions werc good questions. I myself would like to hear them answ But 1 would Jike to ask several of him and the other men who got safely to land within reach of us. Why did you run away? Why dldn't you come back to help us?

HIS LIFE ON S Loss of San Bfas PROUD CAPTAIN CATTARINICH RUNS JICOE' AEEF and Failure to Get Another Command Lead to Self Destruction. - L —— FAMOUS MASTER OF T}‘iE ILL-FATED SHIP SAN BLAS. HE WAS DISRATED FOUR YEARS AGO AND YESTERDAY COMMITTED SUICIDE RATHER THAN WORK IN A MINOR POSITION ON THE MEADE. 4 — — Pride, the pride of an old and honored house of Austria, the pride of a ship's master who strode the deck of the ill- fated San Blas when she met her doom on the rocky Salvador ccast five yeais| ago, caused Captain Joseph F. Cattari-| nich to end his life early yesterday morn- ing at his room at 441 Geary street. He committed the act with cool delib- | eration—stuffed the keyhole of the door, locked tight the windows, then turned on full the gas jet. He loft no note to friend or relative. He had fought the battle with prige and had been conquered. It is now four years since Captain Cat- tarinich ruled the destiny of an ocean | liner. His last command was the San Blas, and he left her on the Salvador reefs, a pitiful wreck. No passengers were lost and the cargo was saved. But the ship was gone. People on board the ; vessel sald that she struck through no | fault of the captain, but he was tried and | removed from the command. It was two years before he was given back his mas- ter's papers. To proud Captain Cattarinich this dis- grace was a hard blow. He was faitly crushed under it. His people were high in the nobility of Austria. He did not tell them of his downfall. His brother was a commander in the Austrian navy. To him he ceased writing. He waited for the day that his mas- ter's papers shouid-be returned. Then he cculd once more command a vessel and retrieve all that he had lost. But a disappointment more crushing than the taking away of his papers await- ed Captain Cattarinich on thelr return to him. The command that he so confidently expected was not offered to him. Ship- owners seemed tc be oversupplied with captains when he sought a position. Vain- ly he applied. They offered him other berths on board vessels. Mates' berths were offered to him and proudly refused. He would be a captain or nothing. For four years he battled to gain a ship. He never gave up hope. He knew that he was a good mariner, and he could not understand why owners refused to trust him when once they had clamored for his services. Then came financial reverses. His little savings were sadly depléted. He moved from one lodging-house to another less expensive. He would not tell his friends of his struggle. He would never have ac- cepted aid—he would rather die. Continually he struggled with his pride. At times he felt that he must accept an- other position than the one he so eagerly sought, and then again pride wduld cause him to hold his head only the higher, and he would refuse the offer. At last he conquered his pride. He ac- cepted a position on the transport Meade. He was to be under the quartermaster, He would sail next Friday. It was a week ago that he signed for thé voyage. He nerved himself up for the act. A moment later he regretted the deed, but it was too late. A sea captain ‘would not go back on his word. All week he battled with his pride. He saw no one. He kept to his room most of the time. The struggle within him was fearful. A _At last phde, his conqueror for four years and the vanquished for one week, wore;l;;utl ‘ln !t:.lhe fight. There was one way all. He chose that way. Captain Cattarinich was 52 years old. He was a mariner of great renown until his unfortunate trip on the Blas {n owned Only on Cattarinich mas- ber, 1901. The San Blas was Pactfic Mall n & e e Cammny ter of a ship, Berry g since then. He had charge of his daugh- ter's care until a month ago. when he gave Ler to his former wife. The change was agreeable to both. He never was de spondent over his wife's scparation. WOMAN'S ASSAILANT GETS A LIFE TERM Chicago Jury Prompt in Ren- dering a Verdict of Guilty. E‘The Call. CHICAGO, Jan. 28.—After being out for less than fifteen minutes and casting only one baliot, a jury In Judge Barnes' court last evening returned with a verdict of imprisonment for life for Charles Woi- deck, a giant cripple, who had been placed on trial for an attack on Esther Lindahl, the pretty 18-year-cld daughter of August J. Lindahl, a weli-to-do business man. The crime of which Woldéck was conviet- ed was' committed within a féw blocks of the spot where Mrs. Hollister was mur- | dered. The promptness with which the jury reached its decision is believed to have been inspired by a desire to discourage atthcks on women. While retorning home from a party with hér sister shortly after midnight on the morning of August 20, 1905. Miss Lindahl was seized by Woldeck and dragged into an alley. Her sister ran screaming from the scene and finding a policeman told him of the assault. The policeman hur- ‘;ied to the alley and easily captured Woi- eck. KENTUCKIANS TR © TO BRIBE A MAYOR Story of Attempt to Kidnap Former Governor Taylor Confirmed. Special Dispatch to The Call. INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 28.—Mayor Charles A. Bookwalter to-night con- firmed the report that an attempt had been made during his first term as Maysr of this city to bribe him to per- mit the kidnaping and return to Ken- tucky of Willlam 8, Taylor, the former Governor, who was indicted for com- plicity in the murder of Governor Goe- bel, and who fled to this State for pro- tection. Bookwalter says a bribe of $25,000 was offered to him in Cindinnati by Colonel Tom Campbell and that he was asked to instruct the chief of police to permit Taylor to be taken out of the city. Campbell, says the Mayor, of- fered to pay the money on the spot if Bookwalter would proniise to arrange the Indianapolis end of the affair. The Mayor rejected it with scorn and told the story only to a few of his closest friends.

Brown and George Savage were trying | | to reach Fort Gibbon, hauling on their | | sled another man whose fale had been | badly frozen. They were hurrying to ort Gibbon for medical assistance. The weather was very severe. Becom- ing exhausted, Brown dropped on the trail shortly before they reached Gib- bon. Savage made him as comfortable | as possible and hurried on to the fort for assistance, hauling the sick man with him. A squad of soldiers hurried back for Brown. They found him still alive, but he died twenty minutes after reaching the fort. 3 Simon Anderson was frozen early last week in a snowstorm near Skykomish, | in the Cascade Mountains.

The critical point in the Franco-Venesuelan situation, which seemed imminent, has passed for the mo- ment, as France has announced that she will await a “more propitious time” for | taking such action against Venezuela as she has decided upon. It is intimated that her desire Is to await the comclu- sion’ of the Algeciras conference before involving herself with Venezuela. The Moroccan conference promises no very definite action, as the graver prob- lems It is to confront are yet some ways off. Though the alignment of the dele- gates {s more marked than a week ago. there is still a feeling of uncertainty as to the outcome. 't is generally belleved that the longer the conference lasts the better will be the chances for its successful termination. The private discussions which the French and German delegates have had created an optimistic feeling among the other conferees. The Senate will begin the week with the consideration of the Chinese boycott. The question will come up In connection with a resolution offered last week by Senator Tillman, directing the Commit- tee of Immigration to investigate the re- ports concerning Chinese opposition to American ' manufacturers. When the question was presented Tillman asked for immediate consideration, but Aldrich ob- It is understood that he and other which assumes as a fact the reported leadership of former Minister Wu Ting Fang in the boycott movement. Tillman is disposed to Insist upon the retention of this phraseology. If he does not change his mind the reso- lutign doubtless will lead to a consider- able airing of the Chinese question. Senator Gallinger will make an effort on Monday to secure further considers tion of the shipping bili, and it Is N purpose to press that mesure upon t attention of the Senate as insistently as the circumstances will permit. The Statehood bill will be reported by Senator Beveridge from the Committee on Territories on Monday. The friends of the bill expect determined opposition and a long contest is probable. The principal point of controversy is the wnion of New Mexico and Arizona and an especial ef- fort will be made to secure the adoption of Senator Foraker's amendment giving the people of Arizena an opportunity to vote separately on the proposition. Ini the House the Hepburn railroad rate bill, indorsed allke by Republicans and Democrats of the Interstate and Forelgn Commerce Committee, is to be the legis- lative feature of the week. The Rill is to be brought in with absolutely no restric- tions as to debate or amendment. Its consideration will be begun on Tuesday. accordipg to the present plan, and Indica- tiohs are that a vote will hardly be reached by the end of the week. “We are to give the House a new sensa- tion,” sald one of the members who has a hand in making the programme of legi lation. “Tt is seldom that the House can indulge itself in unrestricted talk and un- hampered opportunity for amendment on any given subject of legislation.” GROVER CLEVELAND TO LIVE IN CALIFORNTA | Ex-President Said to Have a” Fondness for Land of Sunshine.
