mittee in charge of arrangements for the
proposed national antitrust conference

ingly characterize the present times, are
overthrown there will be established in
America a moneyed oligarchy on the one

people on the other. The only power
capable Of. successfully combating the
tyranny of these gigantic capitalistic mo-
nopoies is the aroused and organized
hosts of the people, TO whom the Govern
ment and the country rightfully belong
and in whom all power Of right inheres.
dn order TO restore the equal rights of
criminal despotism of these monopolistic
combines IL is imperative that the special
privileges which created and foster them
be uprooted and forever destroyed.
This herculean task can only be accom-
plished by the organization of the lovers
of freedom in every part of the republic
and through the persistent and deter
mined efforts of n united people.
Patriotic citizens from all States and
Territories duly accredited and in full
sympathy with the objects named and
ganizations are invited TO the conference

TEACHER CHARGED
WITH BRUTALITY
New Scandal in Mount
Tamalpais School.
Special Dispatch TO The Call.

SAN RAFAEL. Dec. 13.-If his state
ments be true, little Guy Thompson the
H-year-old son of A. B. Thompson, a local
merchant was the victim of a cowardly
and brutal assault made upon him yester-
day by Henry Templeton. an assistant
professor in the Mount Tamalpais Mill
tary Academy, and received injuries of
such a nature that his parents. despite the
supplication OF Head Master Arthur
Crosby, have taken the boy from the
school The angry classmates of young
Thompson not only gave vent 10 their in
dignation by publicly kissing and hooting
Templeton. but have spread the news
throughout the community so thoroughly
that the affair is the talk of the town and
many other parents of pupils are likely to
follow the same course in taking their
boys away from the school as did the
angry father OF young Thompson
IL seems that little Guy was tieing a
shoelace in school yesterday and was told
by Templeton TO put the string he was
playing with in his pocket. The bow
laughed, and was ordered to stay in after
school. He did so. whereupon the teacher
told him TO take a seat. Thinking he was
20 be reprimanded, Guy seated himself
Pouncing upon him while in that defense
less position, Templeton struck him sew
eral hard blows on the head with his
clenched fist Gritting his teeth in pain
the boy arose and said, Stop, you cow
ard" Angered beyond measure at this
language, Templeton grasped the boy
and savagely Kicked him several times
When the boy left the room and related
TO his classmates what had happened the
outcoming OF Templeton was greeted with
groans and Kisses.
Merchant Thompson saw Crosby. who
tried 10 persuade him to keep the AFFAIR
iquiet for the good of the school and LET
the boy remain until next Wednesday. the
end OF the term, but Thompson refused
Rev. Arthur Crosby admitted Tonight
that Templeton had punished the boy and
that a fracas had resulted, but said Young
Thompson was incorrigible He refused
TO permit Templeton TO be interviewed
This his friends deny. He has the reputa
ton OF being a quiet. peaceable boy, but
had trouble with Templeton a few days
prior to the attack. who called his pupil
at that time a cad and a little rascal. %
Two large Jumps mark the spots where
young Thompson was struck on The head
.'I would rather have as little said about
this as possible" asserted Mr.. Thompson
tonight, "for the least said the soonest
mended"
The military academy has been unpleas-
antly before the public four times within
eighteen months. Last year a pupil who
had been reprimanded tried TO burn the
institution. Then DR.. Crosby was sued
for $500 due on merchandise by r. Magnes
and later was arrested on a charge OF
criminal libel More trouble arose on
Dewey day by the boys being allowed only
a half-holIday, but this latest. affair has
created more unfavorable comment than
the other three occasions combined.

YELLOW FEVER
ON MANY SHIPS
Hard Luck Stories Told
at Astoria.
EDENBAllYM0RE'S PLIGHT
CAPTAIN, MATE AND TWO OF
THE CREW SUCCUMB.
EDENBALLYMORE'S PLIGHT
Special Dispatch 10 The Call.

ASTORIA, Or. Dec. l3.-Nearly all the
vessels of ;he fall grain fleet now arriy
Ing here from Panama report losses at
that port from yellow fever. Two Panama
ships, the long overdue st. Enoch and
the EdenbaIlymore. arrived to-day. the
former late tonight. The crew of the
Edenbailymore has a particularly sad
story TO relate. six Of her complement
having succumbed to the ravages OF the
isthmian Sccurge.
The Edenballymore arrived at Panama
on July u ard sailed for Astoria on Octo-
Der Is. While lying in Panama ha-bor
twenty of her crew were stricken With
the dreaded disease and OF that number
six died. The first case broke out aboard
the vessel on August u. The patient was
a seaman, who was sent ashore for treat
ment. On the 18th he died. Toward the
end of the month Mrs Way, wife OF the
Edenballymore's captain, was taken Ill
and on september she passed away.
Captain Way contracted the disease v hile
attending Mrs. Way and on September ,
he. too, succumbed. Between August lS
and September l3 three men of the crew
died, including the mate. There were two
cases OF malarial fever on the ship when
she arrived to-day and she was ordered
into quarantine.
The St. Enoch did not get into the har-
Dor until late tonight. and pending an
examination OF the ship by Quarantine
Ofncer Hastings no one was permitted TO
board or leave the vessel. Hers has been
a remarkable passage. She left Panama
nearly 80 days ago and has been off the
Columbia for four weeks, unable TO make
port owing TO the gale. Before she ever
reached the river she was given up by
many. who thought yellow fever had car
ried off her crew. Since arriving off the
river several vessels have given the ST
Enoch provisions. Doubtless her crew
has hard luck story 10 relate but IL will
not come out until tomorrow.
Ten per cent reinsurance had been Of
fered on her in San Francisco. and she
proved n good speculation for the brokers'
The vessel reported ashore at Loomis
Station last night proved to be the British
ship Craigmore. which arrived this morn
ing. She had a narrow escape from de-
struction. Since the wreck of the light
ship two weeks ago vessels have mistaken
the north head light for that of the light
ship, with the result that several ships
have had close calls. The Craigmore was
almost in the breakers when the captain
got his bearings and distress rockets were
sent up. The tug Wallula went TO the
rescue and towed the ship safely into the
harbor.
The German bark Seastern had even
narrower escape than the Craigmore. for
she was well into the breakers when as
sistance reached her. Had the weather
been severe both vessels would now oc-

MEXICAN TROOPS
SURPRISE YAQU|S
Indians Are Attacked in
Their Stronghold.
THREE HOURS OF FIGHTING
MANY WARRIORS SLAIN IN
THE CONFLICT.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

AUSTIN, Tex, Dec. 13.-Information
reaching here to-day from Ortiz. State OF
Sonora, Mexico. is 10 the effect that fol-
lowing the engagement between the main
body of the Yaqui Indians and the Mexi-
can soldiers on December 3. reported in
last nights dispatch. there was a second
engagement between these forces on the
evening OF December 4.
After the engagement near Rio Chico
on the Sd inst. the Indians beat a hasty
retreat TO the mountain Businesses along
the west bank OF the Popphogic River
which is considered TO be their strong
hold. The Mexican forces, fearing that
II given little time the Indians would
secure reintorcements from the rowing
bands OF 1aquis who were out on depre-
oatOry tours. instituted a forced march
after the retreating Indians and engaged
them in a second battle on the evening OF
December 4
The Indians after the first surprise de-
ployed as usual and opened a fire from
behind rocks and trees. man for man. in
the usual manner. The engagement,
which was quite vigorous while IL lasted
was brought 10 a cIose by darkness after
about three hours fighting. and IT is not
known exactly how many Indians were
killed.
The loss among the soldiers is very
small, not exceeding six killed and about
dozen wounded. The Indians probably
lost twice as many. as the soldiers sur
prised them at the opening of the engage
the Indians were sufficiently rallied 10 get
TO cover During the first onslaught u
dozen or more Indians were seen TO fall.
Upon the approach Of night hostilities
ceased and the soldiers at once retreated
TO the open ground along the prairie belt.
From their post Of observation in the open
prairie the soldiers noticed quite num-
Der of signal fires burning along the
mountain tops and II was evident the In
0ians were summoning scouting parties to
their relief as rapidly as possible. The
reports reaching Ortiz were TO the effect
that the Mexican troops would renew the
hostilities at once in the hope OF effect
lively exterminating the main body of In
dians before their allies could come to
their assistance.
