Condition OF the Passengers shot by Cali
fornin Trhin Kobbers.

San Francisco, Oct. Five of the
passengers of the stage coach which
was robbed near Milton yesterday have
arrived in this city, They are Clarence
NJ. Alderman, A. MalOif, Michael Neg
rella, Mrs. Hannah Abrams and Nj.
Singer. Two of them-Ackerman and
Maloff-were wounded. Alderman is
at st. Luke's hospital with n bullet
lodged Immediately under the cutlcle
of his left breast. The seriousness of
his wound has not been definitely de-
termined but 1t is the belief of DIR. r.
II. Gray, the resident physician of the
hospital, that he will not die.
The same bullet which cut hole
through A. Maloff's wrist plowed its
way almost clean through the body of
Alderman. There is a possibility. DIR
Gray says, that instead of traversing a
straight course the bullet struck one of
Ackerman's ribs on the right side. de-
6ected and passed around his body at
the back until its force became spent
an inch below the left nipple. The
stories OF the robbery told by the pas
sengers merely confirm the story al
ready sent out by the Associated Press.

CHICAGO MAY TIE UP YET.
Debs Proposes to Turn the Injunction Bus
mess on Employers.

Chicago, oct. 1.-The danger of a
ue-up OF the city street railway com
pany Is not passed yet A meeting of
street car employees was held early to-
day and resolutions were unanimously
adopted endorsing the organization or
a local branch Of the Amalgamated
Association Of Street Car Employees OF
America. The most important action
taken, however, was the giving by
secret ballot OF the power to the ex-
ecutive committee of organization to
order n strike without notice to the
company. The plan of the executive
committee to resent any further dis
missal of employees was thus ratified.
ana future action was referred TO that
committee.
At the suggestion of u. V. Debs the
aid OF court injunctions will probably
be invoked by the union. The presi-
dent of the Social Democracy declares
the first opportunity has come for la
Dor to use the restraining order which
has been the weapon OF capital in the
past. Interference with the formation
and maintenance of union of en-
ployes Is forbidden by the Illinois
statutes. and It is proposed to make a
legal test with the street car COM
pany.

Toronto, Ont, Oct. 1.-The Mail and
Empire, in an editorial article. says
I'm 1917 the United States proposed to
Great Britain that the naval force to
be maintained on the lakes by each
government should be confined to the
following vessels: on Lake ontario,
one vessel not exceeding hundred
tons burden and armed with one IS
pound cannon. ON the upper lakes two
such vessels similarly armed. on Lake
Champlain one vessel 1t was further
proposed that all other armed vessels
should be dismantied and thar no fur
ther vessels Of war should be built or
armed on the lakes. To all this her
majesty's government agreed. Now the
United States is sending to the upper
lakes the warship Yantlc of 800 tons as
a training vessel. She is not to be
armed when she passes through the
canals as that would violate the agree
ment but a rapid-firing battery is to
be placed on board Of her at Erie Pa.
The attention of the government at
Ottawa is directed to these facts. We
have no war vessels on the lakes and
do not want them. Why should the in
ternational agreement be broken by
the United States"

JUDGMENT FOR $4,000.
Peculiar Case Connected with n Romance
of the Samoan Islands.

New York, oct. 1.-The Herald says:
tale of the South Seas, which deep
ly Interested the romanlc in New
York and Brooklyn at the time, has
seen its conclusion in Samoa recently.
Word has reached this city that Con-
sui General Churchill of Apia, Samoa,
has given n decision in favor of David
Stout Parker an uncle of Princess
Harriet of Samoa, who is now Mrs.
Harriet Burdois of Brooklyn. happy
In her American home but astonished
at the fortunes of law. The decree
against the Samoan princess amounts
to $1,000. Many years ago, as the story
goes, n Yankee skipper and German
nobleman visited Apia and there fell
In love and married two princesses.
The German disappeared in n search
for wealth and promised his wife that
when he secured 1t he would send FOR
her and their child. The mother died
and Harriet was adopted by her Uncle
Parker the skipper, whose wife had
also died leaving him childless. Parker
had become wealthy. He adopted
Harriet and sent her to Brooklyn to be
educated. There she met Edward Bur
dois and became betrothed, He prom
ised to follow her to Samoa when she
went home and he kept his word, But
Burbois and Parker did not agree and
thereupon Harriet ran away and
married Burdois. Then Parker learned
that BufuOls WAS Weli-to-uo anu ne lIl-
vited the young pair to return and re-
celebrate their marriage.
Again IA quarrel occurred and Bur
dois and his wife returned to this
country.
Parker had given his neice two notes
of 81 900 each as part of n marriage
gift and she sued him to recover the
value of them. He set up counter
claim of $4,000 for libel and dcfama-
ton of character. The case for Prln-
cess Harriet was conducted by Cernow
and Coyer OF this city, taking the tcs-
timony before Judge Benedict. This
testimony was sent to Samoa, and Mr.
Caruthers, an English barrister, was
employed by Parker. The case was
finally heard on August 10. The plain
tiffs not being present, n judgment by
default was asked but denied. The tes-
timony of Mr.. and Mrs. Burdols was
then read and finally judgment was
given in Parker's favor for $4,000. Mr..
Burdois as well as his counsel. was
surprised at the verdict. but the latter
said in explanation: Mrs. Burdois had
papers signed by the uncle that made
her case as solid as anything / have
ever taken hold of and ! cannot I'M
derstand how Judgment could have
been given against her. AS yet have
not received fun reports of the trial
and l do not understand all that has
taken place. | have not yet been able
to see my clients"
Mr.. Burdois Is not at present In busi-
ness. His father is stock broker.

Washington, Oct. lat last western
men are to have chance to serve in
Uncle Sans navy. Chicago is to be a

for the enlistment of men for the naval
service and temporary rendezvous for
similar purpose are to be established
at various places in the northwest.
These are the recommendations of
Commander Hawley. ana
there is every probability that they

Lieutenant Commander Hawley re-
Gently visited the lake ports and es-
tablished temporary rendezvous at
Chicago, Duluth, Detroit and Milwau-
kee and obtained n number of men
well adapted for service In the navy.
He submitted today his report to Sec
rotary Long, giving details of the ex-
petition in which he was engaged. The
report shows the deslrability of there
being stations at the places recon-
mended by Lieutenant Commander
Hawley, and promises as a result to
secure for the navy class of men
much better than conld be obtained
from the eastern ports alone.

San Francisco. Oct. 1.-According to
Consul Gen. Miguel Garlic of this city
and Consul Gen. DR.. Joaquin Yela Of
New York. who arrived on the San
Bias, the reports Of the war in Guate-
mala have been greatly exaggerated.
Consul Garlic says: "The revolution in
our country is confined entirely to San
Marcos. Quesaltenango and the port
of Ocos. Port Ocos is a shipping place
for the coffee crops and has popula-
ton of about 200 people. The other
places may have 5000 inhabitants. but
that is doubtful"
Dr.. Joaquin Yela, the consul general
in New York City from Guatemala,
says: IT am more than surprised at
the interest taken by Americans in this
little uprising. I can state officially
that the whole thing is overdrawn. The
riot Is confined to one insignificant port
and that will be all controlled within
four weeks"
