blown down, and a dozen residences
and as many barns were wrecked.
The station of the Kansas City, Fort

wrecked. Many freight cars on the
siding were lifted from the track, and
a freight train few miles south of the
city was wrecked.
At least twenty persons were in ured
by flying timbers and shocks of light
ming. 1t is reported that others were
killed and injured in the country, but
no trustworthy particulars can be OBJ

1t was Warden Hale himself who drove
the carriage containing the lady dressed
in black and life-tImer Gardi ner on the
morning of Septen, Der 4. 1898, to the
train ON the occasion of tho virit OF the

On that morning Gardiner was called
to the war5ea's residence, where be had

Two hours later Gardiner was seen and
recognized by bis wife and young lady

A. o. Cotton then wrote a letter in
which he severely criticized Warden Hale
for this breach Of prison discipline. Hale
tore the letter up. 1t was put toRether

prison directors are in earnest In their
desire for complete investigation a fac

gallery in this city. Inquiry was made
for Gardiner several times during the

had been acquainted with his where

shed no light upon it.
Mrs. Gardiner, notwithstanding the
uncomfortable and disagreeable position
in which she will be placed, Is anxious to
go before the prison director, and tell her
story. She will take with her abusive

PREFERS PRISON TO TRIAL

Her Appeal

Mrs. Werner Asks Her Attorney to Dismiss
Her Appeal
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 8.-Mrs. Ada
F. S. Werner would rather spend the re-
maInder of her life in the state prison at
San Quentin than stand another trial for
mu rder. She has therefore notified her
attorney, Alexander Campbell, jr.. to
dismiss her appeal from the order of
Judge Wallace committing her to the
penitentiary for life for Killing her hus-
band. The recent of such a message was
a great surprise to Campbell, WHO ex-
pected to argue the case before the SUI
preme court IN Sacramento next Tues.
day. Compbell was confident that his
client would be granted new trial under
the recent Sbattuck case decision, which
involved points similar to those on which
he relied. He announced to-day, how
ever, that in Difference to the wishes of
Mrs. Werner he woulu dismiss the case.
Mrs. Werner. it appears, was anxious for
a new trial until the recent conviction of
Mrs. WoIthington on third trial. In
her letter to Attorney Campbell the I'M
fortunate woman states that she DIES not
believe she could stand another trial.
She declares that she was perfectly
happy in San Quentin and said IT, at she
believed it best she should spend the re-
mainder of her days in prison.

But All California Wants the
Convention
ENTHUSIASTIC AID is GIVEN
By All Those Asked to Assist in the
Good Cause
The Work of Canvassing for Funds Will
Be Thoroughly Systematized and
Pushed to tho Utmost

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. s.-From all
over the state comes evidences of the most
widespread interest in the plans for Sc
curing the convention. Mr.. Williams,
the charm an of the champ er of commerce
meeting, has received number of letters
from the gentlemen outside OF San Fran
cisco who were appointed mem bers of
the prom. otion committee, accepting the
appointments and promising the best ser
vice in their power. Without exception
the letters are couched interms OF enthu-
siasm for the enterprise, and. as Mr..
Williams says, indicate O very strong
sentiment for uniting all forces to secure
the convention. Not san Francisco alone,
but California, wants the convention, and
the whole state will help to get it.
The miners AMI mining interests will
do their part.
Systematic work for the convention
fund is to begin at once. The finance
committee, authorized at the cham Der of
mmerce meeting, has met and organ
zed and enlarged itself by the add .ton of
sixty more mem bers. as it was instructed
to do by the resolution organizing IL. it
is now in working order and Will have
another meeting Tuesday aftern on at
o'clock. which is as soon as the additional
members could be notified OF this ap-
pointment.
The subscriptions which have already
been made to the convention fund were
turned over to the coin mittee today and
one of the first efforts of the com mittee
will doubtless be to thoroughly and sys-
tematlcally canvass each line OF business
and industry. That was discussed to
some extent today tut no action was
taken, it being thought proper to wait
until a n Getting at which the sixty addi-
tional members could be present. Colonel
]. M. Litchtield. the secretary of the COM
mittee. though, was directed to draft and
send out a circular to corporations, noti-
flying them of the purpose tor which the
committee was Organized and asking that
a meeting of their respective boards of
directors the amounts they will give for
the purpose be fixed upon. This was done
on the suggestion of Colonel Litchfield
himself, who explained how it would ex-
pe1its the work of the committee as we'll
as lessen that work.
1t was unanin ously agreed that all SUBJ
scriptons received should be acknowl-
edged through the newspapers, thus Civ
ing the utmost publicity to the work of
the COMMITTEES.

DUNRAvEN'S LETTER
The Americas Cup Straw rhrashed Over to
No Profit

No Profit
LONDON, Nov. o. The Times this
morning publishes an extract which ills
three and halt OF its columns from a
pamphlet which the earl OF Dunra ven is
just issuing. giving complete history
and an explanation from his standpoint
of the Americas cup races and contain
ing also an appendix, which adds all the
correspondence upon the sabject which
has passed between Lord Dunraven or his
representative and the Americas cup
committee and persons concerned in
making arrangements for the late pro-
posed contest.
Most of the matter contained in the
PAM phi let and appendix has sleady been
published, but it is announced that 1t IS
published n DIV again in response to nu-
m erous requests for fuller information on
the subject. Lord Dunraven's statement
concludes with the following language:
ION the whole my belief is that De-
fender is the better of the two vessels on
the reach and the Valkyrie III. is the
better in turning to wlndward. We never
came on the run. owing to the wind shift
ing SO much during the first race, put IS
Iunning:s Vskyrie's best pointand seems
to be Defenders worst, judging by her
sailing against Vigilant, consid or VAL
kyrie III the better of the two on the
point Of sailing, Also"
The Times contains an editorial on
Lord Dunraven's statement which says:
1.-THE statement repeats many things
which have been heard before AMI is
largely technical, but as afforI,ng the
hrst connected and authoritative account
from Lord Duuraven himself it deserves
the attention of everyone interested. The
general impression it leaves is that no
effort. however strenuous, on the part of
the trustees of the merica's cup can pos
Silly secure fair race on the conditions
upon which they apparently bold them
elves bound to insist
1.-The letter dated September 18th. from
Comm odore Smith TO Lord Dunraven, de
claring 1t impossible to secure race free
from Interference, is really conclusive of
the WI ole controversy. 1t Is confession
of impotence. Lord Dunravsn's report of
the alleged alterations in the load water
line OF Defender prior to the first race is
most unpleasant story. 1t is also most
regIettable that misunderstandings arose
over Lord Dunravcn's offer to Ie-sail the
races.
altogether the statement contains
nothing to modify our previous judgment
or to induce Englishmen to CHALLENGES
again."
