METHODS or EKGLAKD'S AGENTS.
An Engineer Claims He Was Requested to
Report Falsely on the Venezuelan
Boundary Location

SEATTLE, WASH, Nov. 1.-William j..
Burdett, newspaper man who has re-
turned from Europe, in an evening paper
tells of an interview he had on board a
steamship from Liverpool to New York
with G. H. Frey, civil engineer, formerly
of Atlanta, Ca, but now resident of
British Guinea, and in which country he
owns and operates railroads.
Frey expressed himself freely concerning
the trouble between England and Vene-
zuela over British Guinea. Overtures have
been made to him from both governments,
though Frey said he has held himself
aloof from the controversy.
Frey ran the first surveys into the coun-
try since those of the early Dutch, and he
saws England is especially interested in
the matter as to whether the line of the
old Dutch forts does not extend now along
or near the line claimed by the British as
the boundary between the two countries.
Frey stated that he was requested by
English agents to say that such line ot
forts did exist when the late survey lines
were extended into the interior.
He oeclined to do so for business reasons,
his road being in the disputed territory
or more particularly on the ground that
he might be loser whichever Govern
ment was successful.
The country, Frey says, is controlled
principally by about twenty sugar-plant-
ers.
The British Government, he stated, was
dredging rivers and building locks and
dams, and it was the apparent intention
of England to have all internal improve.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Nov. 1.-The Oil
Exchange is still shipping oil to the north,

There is a nice new feature in oil cir
cles," said Secretary Cochran this morn
ing, land one which has only recently
become manifest. 1 refer to the inquiries
about oil for fuel purposes which are being
made from distant localities, and also the
number Of persons individually interested
in purchasing and using the oil who are at
present in the city inspecting the product
for themselves and making purchases and
contracts"
James c. Harvey, the local agent for the
Standard Oil Company, told a reporter this
morning that his company was increasing
its tankage facilities here in order to make
as much as possible of the local oil output.
He SAID that recently the Standard people
bought 1000 barrels of oil from one of the
local companies, and that negotiations are
now under way for 500 barrels more.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Nov 1.-Gover-
nor James H. Budd, Mrs. Budd and the
balance of the gubernatorial party started
on the return to the north this afternoon.
It has just been ascertained that the con-
dition of the Governor on Sunday last was
really source of great apprehension to
his friends, and more particularly to
Mrs. Budd. The Governor was a very
sick man after he returned from RosedaIe
Cemetery. 1t was only by the greatest
effort that the Governor nerved himself
up and remained during the funeral cere-
monies over the body OF Lieutenant
Governor Milard. On Sunday evening he
collapsed, and for few hours his con-
dition was serious.
The Governor is now greatly improved.
He spent the night at Professor loves
residence at Pasadena, and came to the
city at l o'clock this afternoon, leaving an
hour later. General A. w. Barrett accom-
panied him. Governor Budd has important
business of State which demands his i'm
mediate presence at Sacramento.

Associated Students Demand Con-
troll of the Thanksgiving
Entertainment.
THEATRICALS ON THE CAMPUS
Extensive Preparations Being Made for
the Presentation of "As
You Like It."

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, Nov.
1.-The executive committee of the Asso-
ciated Students has lately issued request
which is causing deal Of hard thinking
on the part of several students. 1t is that
all organizations, musical and otherwise,
expecting to use the name of Stanford
shall present their constitutions before the
executive committee for its approval.
Such an act practically puts these clubs
under control of the Associated Students.
The act of the committee was brought
about by the alleged fact that the big
Thanksgiving night entertainment was
being pushed by few enterprising stu
dents who expected to make neat profit
off the affair. These individuals would be
deprived of their expected reward should
they submit to the committees constitu-
tional right. On the other hand, if they
refused they cannot use the name of STAN
ford for advertising the big show, which is
got up and will be performed by the
students.
The committee does not care to work any
injustice upon the individuals who are
booming the matter, and is willing to
allow fair percentage of the profits to the
originators. 1t is likely that a compro.
mise will be arranged satisfactory to all
parties concerned, ana while the Associated
Students will be recognized as the con.
trolling body the energetic few who started
the ball rolling will get something out Of
the entertainment.
The Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity is te
give reception tomorrow afternoon and
evening which will exceed in elaborate
detail anything of the kind that has yet

which was constructed during the summer

last moments of the Nonpareil were peace
ful and quiet. The end came at 6:45
o'clock this morning.
For weeks Dempsey had been lying at
the point of death at the house of his
father-in-law, 839 Grand avenue and the
end was not unexpected. His strength
had waned rapidly from day to day, but
the doughty spirit that marked the Non
pareil in the ring was manifested as he
struggled with the dread disease that
claimed him victim. The gallant fighter
would not give up the contest, and in
sisted, even. as late as Wednesday, that he
would get we'll. 1t is considered remarka-
BILE that he held out as long as he did.
Yesterday afternoon Dempsey. arousing
himself out of a stupor, said to the watch
ers at his bedside:
"1his is my last day in this world.''
The dying man predicted Alright. Dur
ing the day be scarcely touched nourish-
ment lie rapidly grew worse. and as
midnight approached everything that
thoughtful hearts and willing hands could
do was done to make his last hours as easy
as possible. His sufferings were fearful
during the night, and about daylight this
morning he became quiet.
At taquarter after he pressed the cruci-
fix to his lips, bade farewell to those gath
cred at his bedside and moment later a
low, futtering sigh told that the end had
come.
There were gathered at the dying man s
side Mrs. Dempsey, Mrs. Armstrong, the
nurse, Mrs. Brady, Jacks mother-in-Ia law,
and one or two others. Dempsey had
taken his last look at his beloved little girls
yesterday evening.
The closing hours of the Nonpareils Lille
were dramatic in the extreme. In his
delirium the one-time champion lived over
again his famous days in the ring. Again
he saw the faces of his associates and
friends and. called them by name. Once
the nurse heard him murmuring the name
of Corbett. "I'm at your back, JimW he
cried.
Nodefnite arrangements have been made
for the funeral, but it is probable that the
burial will take place on Sunday.

JACK DEMPSEY,S CAREER.
Ever Victorious Up to His Fight With
George La Blanche.


George La blanche.
The news that Jack Demp psey, who had
endeared himself to the sporting fraternity
of the country through his ever present
willingness to uphold his reputation by
means of his physical ability rather than
by battles of words, had joined the ma
jority, cast gloom over the resorts where
men of sporting proclivities are wont to
congregate and for hours the fraternity
talked in subdued voices of the prowess of
the deceased pugilist, of his many game
battles and usually attendant victories.
The almost universal verdict was that had
Dempsey never met John Barleycorn he
might still be alive and still at the head of
the list of men in his class.
Police Commissioner Nose Gunst, who
invariably backed the Nonpareil when the
opportunity offered, looked sad when told
that Dempsey was dead and then fell into
a reminiscent mood.
There was the best man of his weight
who ever stepped into ring" he said,

ever see such another. He was his own
worst enemy, and might have been rich

Young Mitchell, one of Dempsey S great

expected the news but that nevertheless
he felt very sad over it.
Jack was true friend and as brave a
man as ever put up his hands," he said.
Fighters may come and fighters may go,

ACQUITTED At BAKERSFIRLD
The Jury in the HotoeU Case Ont Scarcely
More Than a Minute.

BAKERSFIELD, CAL, Nov. LIT took
a jury just one minute and quarter this
morning to find ex-County Auditor Howell
not guilty of the charges preferred against
him by the Granu Jury.
This was the first case to come to trial of
all the indictments brought by the late
Grand Jury and naturally it excited a
great deal of attention and the courtroom
was crowded
The trial lasted scarcely more than an
hour. The jurors called were accepted by
the prosecution and the defense without
question.
The only witness for the prosecution was
Expert Moore, and after he had testified
there was no cross-examination. The
case was then submitted without argu-
ment.
