During the day a largely attended meeting of strikers was held in the Coliseum. Socialist deputies delivered inflammatory speeches and a resolu- tion protesting against the use of arms against the people was adopted. Later collisions between the strikers and the police and troops took place and several hours elapsed before the demonstrators were finally dispersed. | e Duel With Count. 11.—Luclen Millevoye, Editor Fights PARIS, May leditor of the Patrie of this city and a Nationalist member of the Chamber of Deplut fought a duel with pistols today with Count Mathieu de Noailles as a result of the exciting street en- counter which took place between them on May 9, when Millevoye broke his cane on "the Count's head.

Liquor Is Supplied by the Owners of Red Light Gales. 'Under-World Drinks to 0ld San Francisco as It Passes. As the flames that followed the earth- quake of April 18 began to leap into that section where the red light gleamed and the sound of early morning carousal broke the peace of the night the sirens who filled the numerous lodging-housés in the vicinity began to gather in the streets there. Some carried jewel boxes, some bird cages, some spring hats that had just come from the milliners. Near- ly every one, with that feminine variety which probably grows greater instead of lesser with vice, was painted and dressed in her gaudiest finery. They had bad plenty of time to go back to their rooms after the quake and don fine raiment, and even the terror that was creeping over them as the flames grew nearer could not deter them from ‘‘making up’’ to win such admiration as they might. Out in the streets the terrorized women gazed up at flame and building, not know- ing but that another quake would send brick and stone to hurl the death the fire could not bring them. They ran about on Mason, Powell and Eddy streets, clutching at those they knew and asking affrighted questions. They knéw of no refuge. Where were their friends of whom they could ask shelter in the un- burned distriet? Why they did so, no ons-could say, but some of the women wandered down Fifth street to the Mint. They halted and sat on the broad sweep of stone steps that gave ample resting groonnd. Others came. Dissolute males who had gained their living from the fallen women fol- lowed doggedly. Word got out that the Tenderloin was gathering on the Mint steps. Yrom Mason and Ellis and other streets the exodus to the government building became general. Men and wo- men whose existeuce had been wrought from vice in the immoral section flocked to the Mint. The steps became crowded and late comers sat on the sidewalk or paced up and down in the street. It looked as if a great crowd had gathered &t an amphitheater for a band concert. Above, in the heavens, thers wds the red glare of the flames and smoke and cinders filled the sky. The roar of the fire as it tore its way up town almost drowned the babel of voices on the Mint steps. The male creatures gathered in this strange throng were dogged, sullen— mostly. Some of the women screeched in hysterical excitement, some were silent and pale. Shouts that the world was com- ing to an end arose from the more ignor- ant of them. Some prayed and ealled on God, as vice always does when death looks in on its reveling and freezes its blood. Boon another sort of shout wross. A | wagon came dashing along, bearing on | the front seat with the driver & man | known to everyone of the erowd at the | Mint, He was the proprietor of a Ten- | derloin cafe where they had all reveled | many a might.

Men and | women surged around it and snatched | out bottles and soon- the stimulants were ‘flnwi.ng down parched throats as the bot- ‘tlea flew along through the erowd. An idea grew in somebody’s brain as the commandeered liquor began to work. | Messengers were sent to all the saloons /in the Tenderloin with word that ‘‘the | girls’’ had gathered on the Mint steps. | Baskets and wagon loads of wet goods | began to reach the Mint.

Soon sparks that blazed more redly than their predecessors began to drop from the heavens. Bome were so virile that they burned holes in thin waists and scorched hat plumes. The roar of flame ‘changed to a distinct crackle and build- |ings erashed down close by. The heat | was growing intense. Still the corks popped on the Mint steps and alcobolic liquors of many var- ieties found their way into reeling human forms. Some of the revelers, sobered by the growing inferno, staggered away and moved to places of greater safety. The flames began to lick the back of the Lin- coln sehool and roar on Mission street not far away. Above them still rose drunk- en shrieks of women, now oblivious to all danger and shouts of men who had found the temporary courage of craven hearts. | 'The flames showed their red teeth above a big building scross on Mission | who could get it. cred Tl stest.

It was freely discussed. Many of the doctors werell opposed to its wording, contending that | it made them appear as If they were in a helpless position and were depend- ing upon charity. The majority of the members, however, took a broader view of it.

A motion that all doctors who lived In earthquake dis- turbed districts outside of this city and who lost their Instruments and be- longings could recelve assistance through this source if they so desired ‘was carrled.

Pierpont Mor- gan Jr. Is Rearrested as He Is Leaving Sing Sing. NEW YORK, May 11.—Albert Brown, 2llas Louis McDowell, gained notorlety a few years &ago throughout the country by posing as J. Pierpont Morgan Jr. and Marcus A. Hanna Jr, was rearrestad on other charges yesterday When he reached this city after discharge from Sing Sing. He is wanted by the police of Detrolt, Chicago, St T:ouis and Astoria, Or., on swindling ¢harges. Brown was sentenced to three years' imprisonment in Sing Sing in Novem- ber, 1903, for swindling Tiffany & Co. of this city out of a dlamond pin. In 1901 he was sentenced to three years’ imprisonment in the Jefferson City, Mo., Penitentiary for a swindle in St. Louis. He was taken to Jefferson City on a train, handcuffed to a man named Francis Mathusik. Both men, still manacled together, jumped from the train, which was going at the rate of thirty miles an hour. Brown was re- captured, but Mathusik got away. After his release froms the Missouri prison Brown was alleged to have swindled many persons in Oregon by a fake Company known as the London- American Mining Company. In this operation he posed as J. P, Morgan Jr. and M. A. Hanna Jr. When his cap- ture was imminent in the West he came to New York and was eaught in the Tiffany swindle. ————— NEW LIGHT IS THROWN ON THE DEATH OF SPIER T who Investigation Discloses Fact That His Financial Affairs Are Badly Involved. . NEW YORK, May 1l.—Investiga- tions which followed the mysterious death of Charles L. Spier, confiden- tial agent of H. H. Rogers, disclose the fact that his financial affairs were more involved than was thought yes- terday.

These securities, a member of the firm said, were returned to Spler upon his promise to replace them. The prom- ise was not kept. Spler instead re- | turned the bonds to Rogers, who had been demanding them. Rogers then entrusted Bpler with $840,000 worth of | bonds in & new company. BRITISH JURY ACQUITS ! MRS.
