UNION nANK MAY
SHIRK ITS DEBTS
Attempt Will Be Made to Recover
Securities Deposited for
JnanG

SAN JOSE, April 25.-F. J.. Wadhams of
San Francisco, at one time secretary of
the Bank Commission. was put at work
this morning exporting the books of the
Union Savings Bank. This will occupy
about six months
An attempt will be made by the direc-
tors to recover the securities deposited
with the San Francisco banks for loans
without redeeming them. These amount
to nearly 5000 900. The Nevada Bank holds
about $50, 600 of these securities for an in
debtedness of $50.000. Among several
other banks are scattered $4,000 worth of
notes and mortgages in lieu of a loan of
$4,000. The San Francisco banks have of
fered to give up the securities on the
rectors expect to recover these without
putting up a cent The Union Savings
Bank did both a savings and CONNER
cia business, but it is claimed it had no
right to transact the latter class of bust
ness. If it can be proved it was only
savings bank then the directors had no
right to hypothecate these securities and
they probably can be recovered. The
same will apply to the bank premises,
which were decided to Mrs. William II.
Wright to secure loan of 100000 In
case the securities are recovered from the
San Francisco banks in this way the lat
ter financial institutions can fall back on
ex-President Ward Wright and the rest
of the directors who wrecked the bank
for the amounts advanced. A long legal
battle must be fought first. Unless the
cash were forthcoming. then, it is said
several criminal complaints might be
made.

Most Expert Possible
Way.
SAVED BY A MIRACLE
The Officers Do Not Know What
to Do With the Little
Sinner.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

REDLANDS, April 25.-Redlands has
the youngest train wrecker on record.
To-day, upon a warrant issued upon
complaint of Special Officer John c..
King of the Santa Fe Railroad Com
pany, a constable placed little Harry
Gregg under arrest. The boy is but
nine years Old and small for his age,
vet he is in the hands of the officers
for having attempted to wreck a Santa
Fe passenger train on Sunday.
The attempt was so eleverly planned
and executed that it seemed more the
work of fiend than of a mere child.
The matter was kept quiet until the
perpetrator should be discovered, and
the evidence is so clear that the as
founding fact that the attempt was
made by the youngster had to be ac-
cepted and the arrest was made.
In the Justice Court to-day the de-
tails of the story were told. Harry is
the oldest of the five children of j. P.
Gregg of this city On Sunday he and
several children were playing beside
the Santa Fe track near his home, just
west of Eastbern Station, this city.
Conceiving the idea that it would be
sport to see the train thrown from the
track Harry took a most effectual
method of accomplishing it.
Finding in a 'neighbor's dooryard a
section of steel rail about three and a
half feet long, he gathered old wire, and
placing the rail inside and close to- one
Of the rails of the track and bound it
firmly to the rail so that the fange of
the wheels of the cars must run upon
the piece and inevitably derail the
train. Then, to partly conceal the work,
an old tin can, a piece of wood. rock,
the carcass of a chicken and other ma
terials were scattered about it and the
obstruction left.
This was nearly noon. and the next
train was due at 1:30 from San Bernar-
dino via Highlands. 1t would be on the
straight course on a heavy down grade
where the train runs rapidly
A frightful smash-up- would have re
suited had not the section foreman gone
up the track upon a handcar after
church.. and thus discovered the OBJ
struction and cleared it away.
The chief witnesses were a little boy
years old. who was with young Gregg
and described what was done in detail
and Mrs. Jasper Glover, who lives near
the track where the obstruction was
bound upon it, and who saw young
Gregg wiring something to the track
but had no idea that it was for the pur-
pose of wrecking a train. The section
foreman and others were examined and
Harry Gregg appeared in his own be-
half and denied everything. His con-
duct astounds the officers and the court
and he is so young they do not know
what to do with him.

CLOSE
BUSINESS HOUSES
Not One of Them Doing Business in
Bluefelds at the Present

NEW YORK. April PA special to the
Press from New Orleans says: Advices
received here from Bluefields, Nicaragua,
by the steamship Jarl state that pande-
monium reigned in that city on the night
OF April Is. Drunken native soldiers
citizens and into houses. Several persons
were wounded.
Captain Torres served notice on Ameri-
can merchants that unless they paid the
duties demanded by night he would close
up their places Of business and confiscate
their receipts.
These duties had already been paid to
General Reyes when the revolutionists
were in charge Of Bluefelds, and the
merchants naturally objected to paying
twice. The merchants held a meeting
and decided to close their stores. The
doors were locked and sealed and the
American flag hoisted over each store.
The consequence was that when the Jarl
left there was not an American doing
business in Bluefields.

STORY OF THE BATTLE
TOLD IN DETAIL
Colonel Funston of the Kansas hegi-
ment Leads Charge Across
the BaglaV River

MANILA, April -25, 1O:3O p. m.-Gen-
eral MacArthur's division fought it's
way to the Filipino trenches before
Calumpit to-day, advancing four miles,
mostly through woods and jungle and
crossing the Bagbag River. This was
accomplished at the cost to the Ameri-
cans of six killed and twenty eight
wounded, the First South Dakota Regi-
ment being the heaviest loser.
After fOrding the river the South Da-
kotans pursued the insurgents to the
outskirts of Calumpit, but the town
was found to be so strongly protected
that General Macarthur deemed it best
to withdraw the tired fighters and go
into camp for a nights rest before
making the final assault.
The largest buildings in Calumpit
were being fired by the Filipinos while
the Americans were crossing the river
fully a mile away, indicating the enc
my's intention to abandon the place
The insurgents seem to have adopted
settled policy of retiring from one po-
sition after another, after infficting the
greatest possible damage upon the ad-
vancing army. The forces to-day were
well drilled. Every foot OF the ground
was tenaciously disputed by thoroughly
organized troops, who stood remarka-
bly, firm even before artillery.
The enemv had planned to wreck our
artillery transport train. This attempt
was failure, but one span of the iron
railway bridge over the river was de-
stroyed, hampering the American
transportation for some time. The
Filipinos cut the girders, intending to
have the structure fall with the train,
but it collapsed prematurely of it's own
weight.
The Bagbag River, which is about
hundred yards wide at that point, was
splendidly fortified and the Americans
were compelled to approach an open

much was this the case that Prince

it in his manner and his look when he

MANILA, April 25.-The
NI Americans took the strong
southern defenses Of Calumpit
to-day. These were one mile
south of the town and on the
north bank of the Bagbag River.
The fierce and concerted action
Of Hale's hanking brigade, com
ing from the north bank of the
river, and of Wheaton's brigade,
moving from the south along the
railway, effected this result.
General Hale's force encoun-
tered the heaviest fire, but the
opposition, while heavy, was less
determined than was expected,
considering the strength of the
enemy's position.
1t is assumed by the American
generals that the insurgents are
her~demoralized by yesterdays
severe losses or else the greater
portion of the enemy has re-
treated along the north bank of
the Rio Grande, on the southern
bank of which is the town of
Calumpit. Scouting parties
which were sent north this after
noon under General Hale found
Calumpit burning. The insur-
gents began firing from the de-
lenses on the north bank on
Hale's brigade. Two guns of
the Utah Battery and one Hotch-
kiss did effective work in keeping
the insurgents occupied until an
armored car, with rapid-hre
guns, appeared from the south
and at short range delivered a
fierce fire upon the earthworks
beyond the river.
As the insurgents retreated
Wheatons brigade rushed the
river, some crossing by the unin-
jured portion of the bridge, the
remainder swimming. While re-
treating the insurgents carried on
a sustained fire, but the American
losses were slight. Twenty we're
wounded in Hale's brigade,
seven were wounded in Whea-
tons brigade, one was killed and
three wounded in the Utah Bat
terry, and one was killed and two
wounded on the armored train.
The insurgent losses are un-
known.
In Ha1e's advance down the
river last night six of. Our men
were killed and eleven wounded.
They encountered a heavy
breastwork. General MacAr-
thur awaits the result of the
reconnaissance northward be-
fore deciding as to his future
course. If the insurgents have
retreated beyond Calumpit he
will continue tonight to Calum-
pit. Otherwise he will delay un-
til his wagon train can be taken
across the Quingua River.
