Schooner Herman Expected Here on
Her Way to the South Seas.

Schooner Herman Expected Here on
Her Way to the South Seas.
Ballasted with hope ,treighted with
dreams Of wealth ntold, and trim
ming her sails to catch the land
wards breezes Of Ell Dorado, says
the San Francisco Elk aminer, the |
rakish little schooner Herman made |
her offing yesterday morning and
was running down the trades on her
long voyage to the treasure isles OF
the summer seas.
Capt. James Brown was in com
mapd and FIVE mysterious passeng
ers leaned abaft the pinnacle as the
trim little craft tossed across the
bar. These passengers are supposed
to be stockholders in Capt. Browns
tale OF treasure trove, and Judge
Dangerfeld is beloved TO be another,
although he did not venture upon
the sea quest. He was aboard the
vessel yesterday, however, and SEEM
cd much interested in all that was
preparing for the voyage.
The Herman carried provisions
sufficient to sustain crew and stock
holders a year. On deck was a
gasoline launch, aud in the hold
we're slowed wheelbarrows, hand
trucks, pickaxes, shovels aud other
implements Of modern make espe.
cially adapted for unearthing buried
treasure conveying it to safe depo
sit for the future use OF its new
possessors.
There is now no doubt that the
Herman is the embodiment OF
speculative desire to test the accur-
racy of Capt Browns memory con-
cering the place where the mutinous
crew of Japanese treasure ship bur
led $4,000 COO If the treasure is not
found where Capt. Brown saw it
buried, be will tell the stockhold-
ers that some of he mutinous crew
who stole it original have probab-
ly stolen it again. II it is found
intact the treasure seekers will un-
questionably return it to it's rightful
owners, the Japanese government.

Russian Tricks,

According to the Unive rsal Ga.
zstte although the Russian General
at Tientsin has done as much as all
the Others on the Chinese for the
restoration OF Tientsin, yet The Rus
SLAMS have just informed the Chin
csc Government that they
have now decided not to
have any more to do with the
Provisional Government and will
eyacuate Tientsin at once. But this
is really cunning trick, for the
Russians to withdraw their troops to

their position there, and yet they
want the Chinese Government to

HANSMANN NOT TO WITHDRAW.
MaplewOod Justice Decides to Re.
tain His Office.

Justice Eugene Hansmann yesterday
withdrew his withdrawal from the contest
for the position OF Justice OF the Peace Of
Maplewood and announced 10 the Judges
of the st. Louis County Court that he would
hold on to the office.
Hansmann has been Justice of the Peace
in Maplewood four years. His first appoint
meEt by the County Court was in 1888 and
The second two years ago. He was up for
reappointment again this year and filed a
petition. fifty-seven feet long. Then he
heard that Henry Heimering. the retiring
County Clerk. was a candidate for the job
and withdrew.
Since then Hansmann has raised the point
that Justices are appointed for four years
instead of two and that the court had no
authority to limit the term. The question
was referred to the County Counselor, who
supported the contention in an oral opinion.
For that reason Hansmann went to Clay
ton yesterday and asked that his commits
sion be corrected. His request was refused
and it was then that he announced he
would remain in office.

THREE ARE CHARGED WITH
C0NSPIRING AGAINST ROAD.
Arrests in Connection With Assault
on Max Braun on East Side De-
veIOp Peculiar Conditions.

Mrs. Mary AdamSon- a widow 30 years
old. Edward Weinert and Abraham Seek.
alias F. Stone. are under arrest at Belle
vile. charged with consriring to kill and
also conspiring to destroy property.
The arrest of the trio. which took place
last night. forms a sequel to the .mysterl-
Gus assault made last Friday night on
Max Braun. a claim agent in the employ of
the East st. Louis and Suburban Railway
Company.
The prisoners. with the exception of
Beck. declare they are innocent of any
~wronsdoing. It deycloped after the arrests
at all, and that the story of the alleged az
sault upon him had been given by officials
of the railway company for the purpose of
setting a trap to catch Mrs. Adanson,
According to the story told by Beck. who
furnished the information upon which the
him S2o to kill Bra
When searched a receipt for s35. signed
by stone" was found on Mrs. Adamson's
person. The receipt contained no state
ment other than that Mr.. Adamson had
paid Stone SOS for services rendered.
The trio were arrested while walking
alongside the railway tracks in the direc-
ton of East St Louis. Mrs. Adanson was
carrying two horse shoes at the time. and
the Constables who made the arrest be-
lievc II was the wo!nan's intention to place
the horse shoes on the tracks.
Some time ago Mrs. Adamson sued the
railway company. claiming that she had
been thrown from one Of its cars. She
lost the case and shortly after the COM
pany procured an Indictment against her
charging her with perjury. The Indictment
was quashed, and since then there has been
i'll feeling between Mrs. Adamson and the
rallWay company.
Braun was the main witness for the rail-
way ompan at the trial OF Mrs. Adam
sons suit. Stone. or Beck. claims that Mrs.
Adamson wanted him to assault Braun and
throw the latter's body across the railway
tracks to make it appear that a car had
run over him. The railway officials charge
that Weinert was employed by Mrs. dam
son to assist Beck.
Mrs. Adamson conducts a saloon or the
rock road between Belleville and East St.
Louis. Weinert is a c~igarmaker and resides
in Bclleville.
Attorney NJ. W. Borders. counsel for the
railway company. went to Belleville to
identify the prisoners.

legged to have paid Stone was marked.
