BACK TO THE FATAL SCENE.
Although M Navok Was Separated From
Justice BY the Ocean He Returned
and Was Arrested for Murder.

WICHITA, KANs., Feb. 14.-After being
for years fugitive from his native coun-
try, whence he fed to escape military
duty, NJ. Navok, Bohemian, finally SET
tied In northern Oklahoma. His cousin,
likewise fugitive, lived near him and
about four years ago the two quarreled
over woman whom both of them loved.
Navok stabbed his cousin to death and hid
the body in we'll. His neigh bors grew
suspicious and the officers began to in
vestleate the disappearance of his rela-
tive. Navok sought safety in fight before
the body of his murdered relative was
found, and did not stop until he had put
the ocean between himself and the scene
OF his crime. He returned under an as
sumed name to his native country, but
Government spies recognized him and he
was again forced 10 fee to escape punish
ment for desertion from the army. Drawn,
as he declares, by an irresistible impulse
he returned to Oklahoma, and no soone r
had he arrived there than he was arrested
for his cousins murder The woman for
whose love his cousin was murdered had,
in the meantime, married another.
Navok is Incorporating, well educated
man and has money. He seems like one
dazed and it is believed by many that he
has become insane. His bold return
created sensation in the community.

The Eastern racing men will be given q
grand time when they do come to Califor-
MIA for the spring races, for it will be two
years before they can come again. The
National Assembly will, we are sure, at

Meanwhile it will mean a separate body

Wdr I< Declared,
The Greeks of San Francisco are deter
mined TO stand by the mother country
in the event of a war with Turkey. All OF
them have more or less money, and every
man who halls from the home of Socrates
is willing to spend his last cent in defense
of the home country.
A meeting was held on the water front
yesterday and considerable money was
subscribed toward the relief of the suffer-
ers in Crete. The names of the commit
tee, with NJ. D. Vamvaies as president,
have already been published in The CALL,
and all sympathizers with the cause of
Greece should communicate with them.
Before the trouble arose in Crete the
Greeks OF San Francisco and British Co.
lum bia were anxious to form a company
and go to Cuba. Now the company is
formed, and on the first note of war the
members will sail for Europe ana an

CONCERT OF THE POWERS.
They FiI Decide to Prevent Greco From.


They VIA Decide to Prevent Gre eece From
Occupying Crete.
BERLIN, GERMANY, Feb. 14-The last
conference between the powers concern
ing the new complications which have
arisen in regard to Crete point to an i'm
mediate concert of action to restore order
in Crete and restrain Greece from further
pursuing the course she has taken, which,
If persisted in, must inevitably result in
hostiiities bet Geen the kingdom of the
Hellenes and the Turkish Empire, which,
il is believed, without the ultimate inter-
ference of the powers, could have but one
outcome, the defeat and humiliation of
the former.
As the situation appears now il is proba-
bic that foreign occupation will be decided
upon, which has lately caused an increase
in the gendarmerie on the island and the
cooperation OF the foreign fleets con-
trolling the ports.
Among the numerous communications
bearing directly upon the CreIan situation
which have passed during the last week is
a letter from the King of Greece to the
Emperor of Russia, in which the King ex-
plains TO the Car that the action of
Greece in sending 1otilIa to Crete was
demonstration necessary to the preserva-
ton of Internal order. The King states
that he is no longer willing to trust to the
powers for justice in respect to the de-
mands of Greece in Crete. Though the
situation has created a feeling OF alarm in
some quarters, those entertained in official
circles throughout the continent that Euro
pean peace will be maintained are becom-
ing strong through the belief that what
ever fighting may occur will be localized
and finally die out as the result of its con-
finement to small limits

rate Bodies.
Delegates We and KerrigAn Of
California Can See No Other
Course Open.

CHICAGO, ILL, Feb. ia special to
the Tribune from New York says: There
will be a division of the racing interests OF
America inso two separate bodies within
the next three months. This division will
be the result of adverse decisions of the
National Assem- bly, of the League of Ameri.
can Wheelmen on the Sunday racing local
option question.
California sent on three able delegates
from her northern portion to bring about
favorable action on her request, which
was made without a threat of what might
happen. Two of these delegates-Robert
Welch, the California member OF the
racing board, and Frank Kerrigan, one of
San Francisco's judges, chief counsel OF
the North California division and presi-
dent of the Bay City Wheelmen of that
city-were seen in New York tonight and
gave out the following interview:
"We do not see how division of the
League of American Wheelmen racing in
terests can well be avoided, now that the
question of Sunday racing has been so
disastrously ettled sor the coming season
by the assem- bly,. We cannot see that
there is any possible way in which that
action can be annuIled, and the fact of the
matter is that we do not advise the tracks
of Northern California or the West to STAY
in the league. Our fight was made to the
best of our ability and lost because the
mem bers of the Assem- bly, thought more of
what people might say than of the rights
in the matter.
I'VE lost the fight through the failure
of Mr.. Potter to keep his promise to turn
over to US forty-five of the votes of New
York State in return for the seven votes
of our division, the Louisiana vote and
that of Oregon and Washington. We car
ried out our compact and New York did
not keep its promise by long way We
voted for keenan, who was on the Elliott
ticket, for first vice president in the ex-
change for that States vote on the ques-
tion that interested us, and there we got
thrown down.
Now it is a case that lies with the
track-owners of the great West, and we
think that they will at once make prep
arations to go out of the league. Nothing
will be done in hurry in the matter.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 14.-The
Washington Times. referring to the con-
templated expedition of the Red Cross
Society to Cuba, mentions the circum-
stance OF a sum of money received by the
officials of that society being returned to
the sender on account of the condition of
its tender being coupled with the injunc-
tion that no portion OF it should be used
for the relief of Spaniards. Such a con-
tribution is in no wise consistent with the
meanings and rules of the Red Cross So
ciety. which in its ministrations to the
suffering makes no distinction whatever
as to any creed or nationality, and dona-
tions rendered to the society coupled with
requests that they be only used in one di-

LAST OF A BAD
GANG IN JAIL
Harry Davis Betrayed by
His Brother to the
Police.
Was the Only Member of the
Notorious Stratton Band
At Liberty.
Having Made His Way to Freedom
by Bribery He Continued a
Criminal Career.

DENVER, Colo, Feb. 1.-THE last
member of the Stratton gang OF robbers.
the toughest and smoothest gang of GRIM
inals known in the West for many years,
now lies in the Denver City Jail, betrayed
to the officers by his brother. This rem
nant, Harry Davis, is wanted in North
Baltimore, Ohio. for the murder OF Night
Watchman Joseph Baker on the 21st of
last June.
Davis was not one of the original STRAIT
ton gong, but was admitted after the last
breaking up of the outfit by the arrest and
imprisonment of several members. His
qualities of toughness and his expertness
in all kinds of crime led Bob Curry and
Doc Lee, two of the men who had escaped
incarceration for long periods, to pick him
up. They were operating through Ohio,
and one night tried to rob the postoffice
at North Baltimore. They were discov-
cred by Officer Baker and killed him in
attempting to escape. The three were
taken to the Toledo (Ohio) jail,
whence Lee and Curry were sent last De-
Gem DER to the Ohio penitentiary for life
but Davis had previously bribed two OF
the guards and was allowed to escape.
He escaped on the morning of Novem-
ber Ii, and took train out of that town
for Cincinnati, where he was joined by his
brother Gus, and the two went down
through the Southern States, through
Tennessee, Alabama and into Texas, from
where they crossed over into Mexico, then
back into Arkansas and up into Colorado.
The brothers arrived here last Monday
and engaged a room on Arapahoe street,
near Twentieth, and have lived there since.
Yesterday afternoon Gus. who is a mere
lad of 20, quarreled with Harry, and fear
ing violence at the hands of Harry, de-
cided to betray him TO the police and he
was promptly placed under arrest.
During the extended trip the brothers
have made since the escape of Harry in
Novem ber, Gus says he has been the un-
willing accomplice of his brother in a
mum ber of crimes.
The Ohio authorities have been notified
of the capture and he will be returned to
Toledo at an early day.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Feb. 14.-Four robbers
armed with revolvers entered j. Meyers
saloon at Fourteenth place and Newberry
avenue last night and held up the place.
The barroom was crowded with customers
at the time and the robbers ordered, with
drawn weapons, every one to line up in
the rear of the saloon and hold up their
hands. No one attempted to disobey and
while three of the men kept them covered
with their pistols the fourth leisurely
went through the pockets of each man in
line, securing several watches and some
money. He then took SIS from the cash
register and the men we're driven into

fastening the door the robbers ran back
into the street and escaped before the i'm
prisoned victims could release them

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Feb. I4.-Citizens of
Elmhurst, a small town twenty five miles
west of here, burned to the ground this
morning the large shed recently erected
there by Barney Zacharias the Chicago
gambler, and in which poolselling, faro
and roulette had been conducted for sew
eral days. Almost every day 400 or 500
gam blars from Chicago visited the resort.
A few days ago the residents raided the
poolroom, but could find no evidence of
gambling. Six men, however, supposed
to be connected with The movement were
arrested. During the night two watchm en-
were employed 10 guard the place. Early
this morning mob OF indignant citizens
attacked the building and, after driving
the watchmen to the woods, set fire to the
building. The gam plers say they will re-

LONDON, ENG, Feb. 15.-The London
papers this morning concur in the opinion
that q Greco Turkish war is imminent.
The Liberal organs implore the Govern
ment not to i'm pede the action of Greece
ir any way, while the more moderate
journals urge the powers to occupy Crete
and to decide the ultimate destiny OF the
island when matters shall have become
more quiet. The Standard declares that
the powers must pacify Crete, since
they have decided to restrain Greece and
Turkey.
The Times publishes a dispatch from
Canea saying that George Berovltch
.Pasha. the Christian Governor of Crete,
Nook refuge on the flagship of the Russian
fdmiral aud that the entire force OF Mon
tenegrin gendarmes which have hitherto
been EN- ployed in guarding the Governors
residence have been transferred to the

French admiras, the dispatch says, have
received identical instructions, but the
nature of their orders is not known.
