WAVERLY, Ia, Aug. 13.—Society waomen of Waverly have declared war against the girls who work in the sugar seet fields because the girls have dis- carded their dresses and wear overalls while at work in the fields. The so- ciety people declare the overalls are shocking to the modesty and they are ashamed to take drives into the coun- try for fear of meeting a group of girls dressed like men. The working girls declare they can- not work in skirts because of the wet plants and the dirt. The employers de- fend the girls because their labor is cheeper than that of men.

More than $1,000,- FIRES INTO GROWD AND HITS FOUR. | [ NEW YORK, Aug. 13.—While Oceanic | Walk, in thg Bowery at Coney Island, | was still crowded early today, an un- ientified man dréw a revolver, firéd two shots into the back of a waiter at Stauch’s restaurant, and then turned the weapon into the crowd and fired four times as quickly as he could pull the trigger. Four peérsons lay writhing in agony on the board walk when the man fled toward the ocean, threatening any person who would pursue him. The injured, three of whom may die, are: . Thomas Fitzpatrick, 25 years of age, 218 East Fifth street, Brooklyn; shot in the breast and side; may die. Thomas McDonald, 19 years old, 106 Conners street, Newark, N. J.; shot in the back; may die. Annie Smith, 20 years old, 293 Eckford stréet, Williamsburg; shot in thigh and lég; serious. George White, 26 years old, Cofey 1sland; shot in the back; may die. As shot after shot rang out and the |men and women fell to the walk sereaming, a panic broke out. Women were thrown to the walk as men ran over them to reach a place of safety. The stranger defied any one to follow him. He held the revolver in his right hand and laughingly shouted, “The man | who follows me, I-will kill him. No one ventured to approach. him. He jumped over the ralling and van- | 1shed in the direction of the ocean, and though fully 10,000 saw him and clam- ored for his life, and the police took the most extraordinafy precautions to guard against his escape, he has thus far eluded them. _— TRAGEDY FOLLOWS QUARREL IN GLENWOOD SPRINGS HOME Man Is Shot Three Times by Land- lord, Who l‘-vvlv Him Beating fe.

Dohrmann of the Relief Corporation * yesterday sounded a note of waming by announcing that the fund was being exhausted, aside from the hous- ing expenses, at the rate of over $350,000 monthly. Relief Board believes sanitation should be delegatcd to the | Health Board. The 4 Says Every Cent Will be Needed for the Work. HERE seems to be a gen- eral presumption that there is a tremendous relief fund against which anybody may If the housing of the refugees draw. &oes on—and the housing of these peo- | ple is the key of the situation—I want to say that if we are not careful the fund will be exhausted within ninety days. We are spending this money, aside frém the housing of the people, | at the rate of $350,000. or $400,000 a month. Unless we can get more in, col- lect sybscriptions that have not yet béen paid, we shall find ourselves pinched for money.” Such was the statement made yes- terday by Chairman F. W. Dohrmann of the rehabilitation committee. Dohr- mann is at work figuring how best to | conserve the fund. “We have on hand,” said Dohrmann, $3,600,000. All of this will be required to carry out the plans to house the peo- ple. The fund for building purposes will thus require all the money actually on hand. Provision must be made for the work of relief and rehabllitation and the expense of conducting the work. The expenses of the camps will for three months be at least $50,000 a month; for the Board of Health, $25,- 000; for the care of sick in hospitals, $15,000; for the sewing centers, $5000; Aeut 50,000. There are, of course, many other items. For the next three months these expenses will be from $350,000 to $400,- 000 a month. Theré are 10,000 families in the camps. At only $100 each, $1,000,- 000 will be required to care for them. Then there are charitable institutions that should be considered. These ought to be rehabilitated. Do our best, a year will pass before we can complete our work. And we have none too much money with which to do it; certainly ncne to waste. “There is,” went on Dohrmann, “an- other side of the question. In addition to the $3,600,000 actually in hand, there is something like $3,000,000 floating about the country in pledges, unpaid subscriptions and the like. But this is not yét4n hand, and though every dol- lar be collected eventually, even then it will be found that the fund will be none too large for our purposes. There is not a dollar that can be wasted. There are, too, 8900 applications before the rehabilitation committee have not yet been acted upon.” REFUGEES TO PICK HOPS, Fifteen Hundred to Be Givem Employ- ment in Mendocino County. Opportunity is to be given 1500 réfugees to spend two months up in healthful Mendocino County earning from $2 to $3 a day. Baron von Horst, president of the American Hop and Barley Company and proprietor of enormous hop fields at Hopland, has completed arrangements by which re- fugees are to be taken to the Men- After the hops are picked the refugees will be given employment with the Italian- Swiss colony wine company. The plan originated with Mrs. Eleanor Martin, who wrote to Baron von Horst soon after the fire, asking him if he could not do something for the unfortunates. Baron von Horst, who was then in Germany, returned to America and began to arrange his plans for the hop season. These plans are now completed. The Relief Corporation will lend tents to accommodate all who may wish ‘to go to the fields, and the Asso- ciated Charities, after a thorough in- vestigation by Miss Hess, has agreed to furnish blankets and pay the fare of the hop pickers to Hopland. The picking begins next week. Notice of the plans have been posted in the camps. The price to be paid pickers will be $1 a hundred pounds. This will enable each picker to earn from $2 to $3 a day. The work in the hop fields will last about three weeks. Those who accept work at the end of the hop season will be given employ- ment in the Itallan-Swiss colony vine- yards. INSPECT INGLESIDE. Members of the Rellef Corporation Visit Buildings With Architect. M. H. de Young and Thomas Magee | of the Relief Corporation, accompanied by William Curlett, the architect, vis- ited Ingleside yesterday and made a thorough inspection of the buildings. It was decided that they will answer the purposes of the Relief Corporation admirably and that plans should be prepared for getting them into con- dition for the refugees. ¥ On the property are twenty-four large houses with box stalls on the first floor and large, comfortable lofts above. These lofts will be fitted up as dormitories and divided between the men and woman refugees. It is thought that from 6000 to 7000 per- sons can be accommodated for the winter in this way. Of smaller buildings there are ten cookhouses. These will be fitted up for families. In these buildings forty- eight familles will be housed for the winter. “The buildings,” said De Young, “are in excellent repair. They are clean. It will not be difficult to bring light and water to such of them as are not already supplied. Where there are not suitable sewers, latrines will be built. The work of getting the buildings into proper condition will be begun as soon as possible.” oL O e WATER SHOULD BE BOILED. Board of Health to Send Notices to Householders. The impression has gone abroad that because the majority of typhoid fever cases that have developed in this city have been traced to fly contagion water may be safely used without boiling. This impression the members of the Board of Health wish to correct. Notices to householders are being sent out warning them that the water used for drinking or bathing purposes should be boiled. The notices are being prepared in three languages. A e b e Passenger Trains Collide. FORT WORTH, Tex., Aug., 13.—Two passenger trains on the Chicago, Rock Island and Gulf Rallway collided in the yards today, injuring fifteen per- sons. Two of them, W. O. Stevens, a banker of Bridgeport, Tex., and Brinke Poore of the same place, were seriously hurt. GOS! , Ind., rer of t’ County, day. Il health followed the county ds by the National which | t Sanitation Passed Up to the Board of Health, HIS committee has nothing to do with the care of the health of the city. We've go to get right down to tak- ing care of the camps. The city must look out for its health conditions.” Thus spoke M. H. de Young of the executive committee of the Relief Cor- poration at the conférence held yester- day between the committee and the Board of Health. In his statement De Young summed up the position of the other members of the committee, who rather shy at taking the responsibility for the sanitation off the hands of the constituted health authorities. The meeting was opened by Rudolph Spreckels, who stated the nature of the business before the conference. “It is evident,” said Spreckels, “that something must be done to protect the health of the city.~But the budget of the Board of Health is much higher than it was last month and has been (11 | held up.” The details of the proposed budget were gone into at length. The board asks for $33,012, with $2712.50 addi- tioral if it pays for certain hauling. But this month $8600 1s being spent by the departnent of camps for work done heretofore by the Board of Health. The Board of Health is thus relieved of that experse. On the basis of the budget of last month the board wants almost $4,000 for August. In July the budget totaled $27,914, of which $2500 re- mained unexpended at the end of the menth. In answer to the quéstion why the board needed so much more this month than last, Dr. James B. Ward, presi- dent of the Board of Health, replied that it was necessarys to adopt emer- gency measures to cope with conditions outside the camps. “It {8 the duty of the Sanitary De- partment to sound the alarm and take steps to prevent an epidemic. To this end we must cover the city, thoroughly inspect it and adopt preventive meas- ures.” “I have suggested to the Board of Health,” replied Spréckels, “that it find out what needs to Le done and treat those in ecamps as householders are treated. The Health Department has powér to compel householders to abate nuisances. It is clear that additional inspectors are needéd. But the expense of abating the nuisance should be borne by the householders and not by the re- ltef fund.” It was then that De Young made his emphatic statement as to the duty of the Relief Corporation in undertaking expenses that, in his opinion, should be bo;_no by the city. W. Dohrmann of the Rellef Cor- poration warned those present that the relief fund was none too large for the purposes for which it was intended. The meeting adjourned with the un- derstanding that the Board of Health should be notified of whatever action might be taken. Rudolph Spreckels spent the greater part of yesterday afternoon working on the bvdget. He states that he will recommend to the executive committee abox‘;zaucuon in the budget of about bl 3 BLIND MAN FOUND HUNGRY. Lucien Bacigalupi and Companion Cared For by Associated Charities. Lucien, the blind son of Peter Baci- galupi, was found fainting from hun- ger yesterday by Miss N. Hess, an As- sociated Charity agent. Bacigalupi had had notling to eat all day. Miss Hess took him to relief headquarters, where his immediate wants were given atten- tion. With Bacigalupi was Rosendo Viuchurtu, another blind man. He, too, was faint from hunger. Miss Hess is endeavoring to secure transporation for the two men to Chi- cago.

SANTA BARBARA, Aug. 13.—The| Campo-Camarillo case, which has been | trensferred from Ventura, will be called | for tridl in the Superior Court of Santa | Barbera County tomorrow. This ~ase | involves possession of the rich rancho | Calleguas of the late Juan Camarillo, and the evidence, if it follows the charges of the complaint and the coun- ter allegations of the defendants, will te sensational. The ranch of more than 10,000 acres and other properties of the late founder | of the Camarillo family in_Ventura | County are valued at more than $1,000,- | 000. The net income from the ranch alone is more than $10,000 per annum | and constantly increasing. This prop- erty is now held by Adolfo and Juan E. | Camarillo, sons of the late Juan Cam- | arillo, and they are the defendants in| the action. The plaintiffs are other| children and heirs of the deceased | grandee. The disappointed members of the family who are attempting to set aside the ruling of the Ventura court where- by a portion of the estate has been al-| ready distributed, and who attack the validity of a deed of gift given by the widow of Juan.Camarillo to a favored son, are Mrs. Aldegunda C. del Campo ot Ventura, Mrs. Maria C. de Arnaz of Los Angeles; Mrs. Adelaide C. de Mo- raga, wife of Jose Moraga of Santa Bar- bara, and Mrs. Arcadla C. Mahoney of Ventura, all daughters of the senior Juan, and William Wolfson, a grand- son, residing in Ventura. PARENTS FAVOR SONS. Juan Camarillo died on December 4, 1880. Five-eighths of the estate passed to the widow, Martina H. de Camarillo, and one-eighth each to the three sons, Adolfo, Juan E. and Jose. Jose Cam- arillo died intestate in 1884, and his portion of the estate reverted to his mother, as he was unmarried. On January 19, 1897, there was filed for record a deed of gift conveying from the widow to the two sons, Adolfo and Juan E. her entire interest, three- fourths, in the Calleguas rancho. The | widow dled in April of the following year, and on May 14, 1898, the defend- ants filed what purported to be her will, dated April 13, 1835, with a codicil dated September 2,'1889, and under this will and codiclil secured the distribution of the balance of the estate, consisting of the Camarillo homestead in Ventura City and the personal property on both the ranch and the homestead. On September 16, 1898, Adolfo and Juan E. Camarillo secured from the other beirs a document duly signed and executed, acknowledging the receipt of $25,000 in “full settlement and satisfac- tion of all right, title and interest, claims or demands which the said par- ties of the first part may have in law or in equity, in or to the estates above mentioned and to the real estate above mentioned.” CHARGE OF SISTERS. The plaihtiffs claim first that this pa- per was signed when they “were with- out knowledge of the wrongful acts of the defendants” whereby those defend- ants secured the estate; and they de- clare that they are ready to restore the $25,000 if permitted to come into their rightful shares in the distribution of the property. These “wrongful acts,” the complaint charges, consisted in securing the sig- nature of the widow to the deed of gift through deceit und with intent to prevent the proper distribution of the estate; and of failing to destroy Mrs. Camarillo’s will when requested to do f0o by her. It is asserted in the com- plaint that in the month of December, 1896, the widow desired to destroy the will whereby she left the property not conveyed by the deed of gift to Juan E. Camarillo; that she called her other favorite son, Adolfo, into consultation, and asked him to burn the will, which she placed in his hands for the purpose. It is alleged that he thereupon tore up and threw into the fire another paper end retained possession of the will for the purpose of aiding his brother. Judge J. W. Taggart of the Superior Court «of Santa Barbara County will preside during the trial. IDARDS GOVERNOR FEARS ASaAS3IN. CAMP TACOMA, Wash, Aug. 13.— Governor Gooding of Idaho did not accompany the Idaho troops to Camp Tacoma, and it is rumored among the troops that his family feared his :ssas- sination. , The disposition of troops for the coming maneuvers will be as follows: The attacking force will be the “brown” brigade commanded by Colo- nel E.

SANTA CRUZ, Aug. 18.—The broad- gauging of the narrow-gauge road at this end will be commenced at once. Rails and other materials are arriving. The third rail from Santa Cruz to the California Powder Works will be laid first, so that the standard gauge en- gines can go directly to the California Powder Works switch, thus avoiding the transfer of powder at the local de- pot, now necessary on account of the present condition of the road. Beyond the powder works several gangs are engaged making the réad ready for the change.

Simpkins, left wrist fractured and abrasion on left temple. All of the injured with two excep- tions, were from this city. The wreck occured at Figueroa and Forty-eighth streets. The front ends of both cars were telescoped. Scarcely 2 person on board escaped injury of some sort. At this point there is a switch and one of the cars was ex- pected to take it. Both proceeded, however, on the main line. Car No. 1, outbound from the city, was in charge of Motorman Mackenzie and Conductor Witte. The former stuck to his post and was among the| injured. Car No. 19, incoming, was in charge 6f Motorman W. Smith and Con- ductor Mouier. Neither was hurt. A statement by officials of the rail- way cpmpany places the blame entirely upon the employes who were in charge of the cars.

TONOPAH, Aug. 13.—The trial of the | case of Nash and others against Maec- Namara and others in the Distriet Court in this city, Judge Peter Breen presiding, has developed into the meost important mining litigation brought up for settlement in this locality this year. The question at issue involves ' the famous Litigation Hill property in { Manhattan, which is generally admit- ted to have the most promising pros- pects of any mine in that sensational camp. The hearing of the case has | lasted for over a week, and from pres- | ent indications will continue for as | mueh longer. The suit has ralsed a very delicate {point in mining law, and its settl | ment is awaited with interest by tle mining men of this region. | From the testimony so far taken it” | appears that the ground, the title and | possession of which is in dispute, in-" cludes several claims which were orig- inally located, at the time of the first | rush to the camp last year, by Kiel- | hoffer and associates. These locators did not do their location work during the ninety days following the posting of their notices, as required by law. | During the time the ground was held iunder this location another notice of | | location was posted, covering the same ground, by the plaintiffs in the pres- ent case. A day or so after the ex- piration of Kielhoffer's ninety days the defendants located the ground and se- cured actual possession, claiming that ! the Nash location was invalid inas-. much as Klelhoffer's rights bad not been invalidated at the time of the Nash filing. Nash and his assoclates brought sult to obtain possession and title last! October, and placed an injunction on the property to prevent the defendants | from working it or removing any ore ' until the ownership should be settled. Now the question arises as to whether the location made by Nash | and associates, although admittedly in- valid at the time it was made because ' | of Kielhoffer's prior location, did not become valid at the instant of the ex- piration of the ninety days allowed un=" der the law for the performance of the location work. If such work is not} done the law provides that the grouad shall revert to the public domajn and is open for relocation. The plalntiffs contend that their notice was sufficient indication of intent to operate the ground and to hold it for their use, and that the third location, that made by the defendants, was invalid. For the plaintiffs many of the lead- ing mining authorities of this section | have been examined, among them | George Wingfleld, A. D. Nash, T. L. | Oddie and Dr. Jenny, the last men- tioned a mining geologist. The de- fendants are now taking testimony in | support of their contentions. —_— . Normal Students in Prison.
