PLUCKY WOMAN.
Disobeys Orders of Court and Goes
to Jail

DisObeys Orders of a Court and Goes
to Jail.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 91.-The only
woman president of railway company
in the United States was formally COM
for contempt of court by Judge Trout
today. The woman in, question is Mrs.
Annie Kline Rikert The railway corpo-
ration she is the head of is the Stockton
& Tuolomne Railway company.
Some time ago Charles Erickson, con-
tractor, sued the company to recover
$S,765 for labor performed and material
furnished. When the case came UP for
trial on Monday r. S. Clark, secretary of
the company, was ordered to produce the
books of the corporation in court. On the
following day he reported that the presi-
dent Mrs. Rikert, declined to allow the
books to leave the companys office The
court thereupon ordered Mrs. Rikert to
bring the books into court without fail
Mrs. Rikert again ignored the order, and
the court fined her $25 for contempt and
sentenced her to Jail for five days.
Mrs. Clark was fined SIS with the alter
native of five days in Jail. Subsequently
Judge Trout remitted the fine imposed
upon Mrs. Rikert, but the commitment to
Jail was allowed to stand, the same to
go into effect today.
The refusal of the company to pay
Erichson's claim was based on the fact
that the contract was not authorized by
the board Of directors. Erickson claimed
that it was and the books of the company
would show 1t. To determine this point
the books were ordered produced

CONSUL BEDL0E DENIES.
Declares That He Is Not Under Sus-
pension.


pension.
CHICAGO, Aug. 31.-Too Ill to continue
his journey to Washington without a
DAYS rest, DR.. Edward Bedloe, United
States consul at Canton, China, halted
in Chicago, and while here took occasion
to deny the report that he is under sus-
pension and to discuss the charges that
have been filed against him with the state
department.
''I am not under suspension" said Con-
sui Bedloe, in speaking of these charges.
"I am only on my sixty days leave Of
absence, for which l made application
some four months ago, and which is in no
way dissimilar to other leaves of absence
that have been granted me since 1 entered
the consular service.
Whatever charges may have been pre-
ferred against me at the state depart
ment I must decline to discuss, at least
till I know their source and contents.
Thus far I have not been informed Off
cially that any charges have been laid
against me- The first intimation I had to
that effect was when, on arriving in this
country I saw the reports In the news
papers.
"An American registry was granted to
the steamer Abbey, 1t is true but that
was done more than year ago and at
time when the Filipinos were regarded as
allies of the United States. The charge
that l am in sympathy with the Filipinos
Is rank nonsense. The Abbey Is vessel
so small as to be of no Importance, and
when the American registry was granted
the boat was under bond to the Chinese
government to make a trip to Singapore
The bond subsequently was forfeited"

COL. AMEs' SIDE OF 1T.
Denies in Detail the Charges Made
AGAINST Him.

Against Him.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. S1-Col. Ames
of the Thirteenth Minnesota, who was
in San Francisco today, made the follow
against him.
''I deny emphatically that there IS any
truth in the charges. I denounce them as
the work of enemies. The record Of the
regiment will show my presence on the
firing line for nearly two months. I
was taken Ill with stomach trouble, and
was examined by the regimental DOCTOR
whose report is on file. 1 applied for
return to Manila for treatment. I got
VI crse and was ordered to return home on
the first transport.
"'I never cabled from the Orient to Gov.
Limo asking him to intercede to prevent
my being mustered out. l fully expected
to be mustered out on my return home
The only cable l sent home was to my
wife to come and meet me at San Fran
cisco. When 1 arrived at Frisco I heard
about the false charges, and consulted
friends, who advised me, If possible to
remain colonel till the regiment return
ed, so as to demand an explanation, If
any officers or men accused me-
"I never had trouble with any officers
The statement that l placed Maj. Bean
under arrest is false. I intend, when the
regiment arrives next week, to ask every
officer as to the charges alleged against
me- I have no reason to believe the ac-
cusations were made so that officers
could get promotion. Bean and others
are all my warm friends. I never had
trouble with them during the war or be-
fore
at never had any trouble with Gen. Otis
about cablegrams. The story is false. SO
Is the story that Wheaton was dissatis-
fed with my conduct with the regiment
on the firing line, and ordered me to Man
ila. If such a thing had taken place he
would have placed me under arrest, ac-
cording to the rules of war;"

on the Grant Friday morning He will
show them the various points of inter-
est at the Preside and allow them to
inspect the harbor Notifications, which
is considered quite a treat here.
The officers and enlisted men of the
North Dakota regiment have tacitly
agreed among themselves not to do much
talking about their life in the Philip
pines and what they think have been the
mistakes of the campaign. 1t is almost
impossible to get them to talk on any
subject where criticism is involved, and
they seem to have pretty good UNDER
standing among themselves that they
will not make any complaints. When
asked as to whether they think they
were held at Manila longer than they
should have been the answer is generally
this:
1--WE enlisted to go to war We went
to. war and We found it. We got all that
we wanted, and perhaps little more,
but we were, perfectly satisfied and have
no complaints TO make"
OTIS INCOMPETENT.
The only criticism that can be drawn
out OF them is when the Otis matter is
touched on and they will not talk for
publication then. Privately they ex-
press the opinion that he will waste an
hours time trying TO save the govern
ment two-cent postage stamp. Then,
they feel that they would have achieved
more with some other commander.
Senator Hansbrough and the others of
the North Dakota party here are .ubi-
liant over this attitude Of their soldiers.
They have been fearing that they might
come home feeling sore and inclined to
crlt1c1se- everything in general, and they
are pleased to know that the soldiers
have no complaints whatever to enter
Of course it may be different when they
are mustered out but. they are doing
very little talking at present.
1t is probable that the plan to take the
regiment to Portland by boat will be
abandoned. Senator Hansbrough has
broached the subject, and the officers ex-
pressed the opinion that the enlisted men
will prefer to travel all the way by rail
Still, they say it it possible that after
two or three weeks in camp here the
men may be willing to take another sea
voyage.

CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 31.-The persons
injured by the blowing up of a street car
on Wilson avenue last night are not in a
serious condition and will recover. By
reason of last nights outrage, the police
have adopted a new course of action,
which promises to be effective. A large
number of patrolmen have been detailed
to duty in citizens clothes, and with the
cooperation Of the detectives, they hope
to protect the citizens from future out
rage Chief Of Police Conner said today
that he feels sure of being able to OBJ
tain definite results from the work of
the police within twenty-four hours. An
examination of the spot where the explo-
sion occurred and the testimony Of an ex-
pert on explosives who heard the report,
a short distance, away, show that nitro
glycerine was the agent used in wreck
ing the car.
The strikers denounce the outrage and
say they would offer a reward for the con-
viction- Of the perpetrators if the state of
their treasury would permit.
Both Mayor Farley and President Ever
ett, of the Big Consolidated Street Rail-
way company, are out of the city, but
every effort is being mad by their SUBJ
ordinates to hunt down the dynamiters.
