CHOLERA ON BOARD.
THE DISEASE AT HONOLULU Is A
NlRULENT FORM.
An Ensign on the Bennington Says
ihnt There Are Six Cases ON Board
-Thirty-Five Cases Reported on
One Day-Nearly All Prove Fatal.

San Francisco, Sept. 15.-Dr. Rupert
Blue, of the marine service Of this
city, received two letters this morning
from his brother, Victor Blue. who is
an ensign IN board United States
steamship Bennington, o stationed
at Honolulu. In one letter. bearing
date Aug. %, Ensign Blue states that
cholera broke out in the islands two
weeks previously. and it was constant
ly on the increase. On Sept. >. two
days before the sailing of the Mari
posa, Ensign Blue wrote a letter in
which he stated that six men were
down with the disease on board the
Bennington, and the ships surgeon
feared that the disease was hardly
begun. He had made a careful micro
scopic examination of the eXcretions
and pronounced it to be a yirulent
type of Asiatic cholera.
I'VE all feel very blue here at pres
ent over the prospect" writes En-
sign Blue, and the excitement is in
tense, and it is not to be wondered at.
for he disease is spreading with
alarming rapidity. The Bennington
has left anchorage off Honolulu and
gone southwark 100 miles. We will
return one a week after mail and
orders. In one day thirty-ive cases
were reported at Honolulu and nearly
every one resulted fatally. | hope to
be able to give you better news when

fortunate"
DR.. Blue states that the United
States authorities will assist the state

trance of the dlSaase into this country.
He thought this would be accom-
plished by observing due diligence.
There is general Indignation at the
action of the quarantine officers in
permitting the steame, Australia to
come alongside a city dock half an
hour after her arrival from an in
fected port.
Notwithstanding the report that the
vessel was in quarantine four days
before she left Honolulu the public
does not believe that the quarantine
officers had any right to allow the
ship TO land her passengers. 1t is
claimed that the proper precautions
were not taken, although medical au-
thorities hold that the life Of a cholera
germ is only five days.
The board of health had a special
meeting in the mayors Office to con-
slider the cholera epidemic now rag
ing in the Hawaiian islands. Mayor
Sutro presided and the full board and
the quarantine officers We're present.
Cholera being introduced into Cali
fOrnia was Il subject thoroughly gone
into and vigorous measures to keep it
out were advocated. Honolulu was dc
clared an infected port and all vessels
coming from that or any other port
in Hawaii will be quarantined until
the passengers and crew have been
fumigated. The state board of health
is to be communicated with and its
members summoned for a conference
at the mayors office next Tuesday.
At that meeting steps will be taken TO
guard all the ports in California, and
the rules in San Diego. San Pedro and
other ports will be as strictly enforced
as they are in San Francisco.

MARTIAL LAW.
1t May Have to BE Declared at Ish-
pcming and

: %Ishpeming, Mich, Sept. 15.-Matters
here seem rapidly drawing into a con-
dition of anarchy. Non-union work
men are assaulted and badly beaten
whenever venturing beyond the guard
line. All strangers appearing to be
workingmen are halted and command
ed to give an account of themselves,
and in many cases are roughly
handled. Trains are being stopped
whenever supposed to be carrying nom
union men. Stones are hurled down
the steep hill onto the guards. Loaded
cars are let down steep inclines to
crash into cars filled with sleeping
workmen. and this sort of thing is
growing worse, rather than better.
The leaders are losing control over the
more turbulent spirits, and unless vio-
lence is speedily stopped some of the
assaults will develop into murder. The
military authorities are gravely con
sidering the situation, and, as a last
resort, military law may be declared
in both Ishpeming and Negaunee.

FOR FORGERY.
A Prominent Banker of south Da-
kota Is Arrested.


Cheyenne, Wyo., Sept. 10. - w. r.
Ste5bins of Kansas City, Kan, one
of the best known men in banking
and business circles throughout the
West, was arrested here to-day by
Sheriff Armstrong of Cook county OF
a charge of forgery. He was taken to
Sun Dance, where he will be given a
hearing next week. Mr.. Stebbins, be-
sides being connected with the Ameri-
can Loan and Trust Company W Kan
sas City, has large property interests
here. He has been connected as stock
holder or officer in the Merchants Ma
tional Bank of Deadwood; Stebbins'
Post County Bank of Cheyenne: the
First National Bank of Sun Dance;
First National Bank of Spearfish:
Stock Growers National of Miles City;
Cheyenne National bank and Cali
fornia National Bank of San Diego,
all of which have failed, but without
loss, it is said, to Stebbins.
1t is charged that Stebbins owned
certain stock in the First National
Bank of Sun Dance from it's organiza-
ton, and to conceal the fact trans
ferred it to one Mills of Kansas City.
1t is ALLEGED that to secure the divi-
dend on this stock transferred to Mills
Stebbius made OF a power of attorney
to 7. A. Dunn of Sun Dance. signed
Mills name to it and sent the docu-
ment to Dunn. 1t authorized him to
vote the stock, receipt tor and collect
the dividends, Mills being in ignorance
of this transaction. Later the bank
failed and went into the hands of
Milo Adams, who levied an ASSESS
ment on all stockholders for the bene-
fit of the creditors. Both Mills and
Stebbins denied owning the stock re-
ferred to, and the Investigation that
followed resulted in the discovery of
the forgery.

DIR. WAKEFIELD DEAD.
An Eminent Minister and One of the
Oldest Members of the MasOns.


Pittsburg, Sept. 15.-Rev. DR.. Sam
uel Wakefield, the veteran Methodist
minister, died to-day at West Newton.
DR.. Wakefield was said to be the Did
est Mason and the oldest preacher of
the Nj. f. church, and likely the oll
est of any denomination in the world.
He had been a member Of the Masons
for almost seventv-five years. His
children are all living. DR.. Wake
fields career as a Methodist minister
is part of the history of Western
Pennsylvania. He preached occasion
ally in later years and has enjoyed
fairly good health until recently,
though he has broken down somewhat
since the death Of his wife some
months ago. His grandmother. Mary
Wade. was a preacher, having been or
dained In the ministry by John Cal
vert. He was ordained in 1917. He
published several books on theology
and music when he was comparative
~ young, which made him widely
known. His principal theological work
-"Wakefield's Theology'-has become
a classic in the lifetime of the Nj. e.
church.

SENDS HIM FLOWERS.
An nknow Young Lady Greatly
Interestcd in Durrnnt.

San Francisco. Sept. 15.-The prose
cution in the trial of Theodore Dur
rant has thus far examined twenty
three witnesses and has occupied two
weeks in it's work. These are less
than half the number to be examined
in it's direct case and the most i'm
pOrtant are yet to be placed on the
stand. 1t is said that the next four
witnesses will take DurTant and his
alleged victim up to and into the
church where the girl met her death.
The examination will probably take
all of next week.
Ever since the case in the superior
court began a girl of prepOsSesSipg Gp-
pearance has haunted the court room.
For Il time she brought every morning
a bunch of flowers which she sent to
the prisoner by a deputy sheriff. This
action attracted so much attention,
however. that she discontinued il.
During the proceedings she sits with
her ewes riveted on Durrant'S face. The
prisoner never gives her any attention,
but the police believe that they are
at least acquainted. DUrrant is said
to have written a long note in court,
the misSive being delivered to the I'M
known by the prisoners father after
the court adjourned. The young wo-
mar lives in Oakland, but although de-
tectives have been detailed to locate
her. she has always managed 10 elude
them. She is perfectly aware that
she is being watched, and seems de-
termined to avoid Identification.

FIFTY CENTS ON THE DOLLAR.
The Proposition tn the N. II. Clarke
Creditors.


Minneapolis, Sept. 15.-The commit
tee of the creditors of the n. i. Clarke
Lumber company, held late yesterday
afternoon, at which there We're pres
ent creditors representing between
100000 and $25O,0OO of the company's
debts. The committee submitted a
report on Mr.. Clarke's proposition to
settle for 80 cents on the dollar, and
it developed that there are a few cred
itors who refuse to enter into such an
agreement. This is sufficient to de-
feat the plan, and no practical results
were obtained from the meeting. An
other meeting will be held Monday
afternoon to receive another propo-
sition, which, 1t is hoped, will prove
satisfactory to a large majority Of the
creditors and enable those who wish
to settle to do so.

SPECTATORS Are Given a Fright
over Gold Shipments.

New York, Sept. lo.-This day was
an exciting one and for a time bid
fair to be Il critical II III the financial
field, SO that many feared that 1t
might pass into history as a smaller
edition of Il certain black Friday OF
years ago. But the disturbing ele-
ments are better understood and the
outlook for the treasury and the main
tenance of its gold reserve is compara-
lively clear.
Uncertainty as to the intention OF
the government bond syndicate to
maintain the reserve at the century
mark and as TO its ability to do SO had
disturbed the moneyed interests i'll
creaSingly throughout the week. \
crisis was reached this morning when
announcement was made that the firm
of Lazarc Freres, which is a member
of the bond syndicate, had engaged
S2,5OO,O0O of gold for shipment. This
announcement naturally gave rise to
the impression that the syndicate bad
withdrawn from its controlling posi-
ton behind the throne, and it sent
quotations tumbling in Wall street,
besides starting stories that the syn
dicate had dissolved, that a bond issue
was imminent and that the treasury
would fast drift back to its old posi-.
ton of the dark days of last winter.
Before long several of the city banks
had come TO the aid of the subtreas-
ury with deposits of gold made in eX-
change for g~reenbacks, explanations
had been made by members of the
syndicate and the firm which started
the panic. and quiet was restored.
The gold deposits made by the banks
will Offset the shipments of to-mor-
row. Members of the bond syndicate
said that they had no contract to pro-
tect the gold reserve, but they intend
ed to do 50 as long as it is necessary.
1t is stated most emphatically that
there will not be another issue of
bonds.
