this sort # talk, the fact that it's a
Democratic measure on which the SEN

hole. That question of how far a

Vessel Arrives With Plague Case Aboard and
Is Not Allowed to Dock---Freight is
Being Lightered Ashore.

The steamship Nippon Maru arrived
at six O'Clock last evening and was i'm
mediately placed in quarantine She
has a suspected case of walking plague
aboard and the vessel will not be al
lowed to dock. The Maru was sighted
at three o'clock yesterday afternoon
and arrived off the harbor little after
five, when the doctors boarded her.
When the illness of a japanese ma
chinist was examined into, the board
ing officer thought the case suspicious,
and the patient was removed to the
Quarantine Island hospital. The YES
sci was kept in quarantine, and DR..
Cofer and his assistants made close
examinat ton of the man taken from
the vessel 1t was the diagnosis of the
medical men that the Jap had a, case of
what is suspiciously like the walking
plague, and rather than take any
chances it was decided not to allow the
vessel to dock. The steerage passen-
gers are to be placed in quarantine this
morning and the. cabin passengers will
be allowed to come ashore in launches.
There are about $50 steerage passengers
on the vessel and they will be taken

to Quarantine Island today and kept
there for seven days.
1t was decided last night to lighter
the freight ashore and the work was
commenced Immediately in the rain.
The vessel will not be brought up to
the dock at all, but will probably sail
this afternoon some time. The GUAR
ters of the steerage passengers are to
be fumigated this morning. 1t was re-
ported last night from the Quarantine
Hospital that the Jap was on the road
to recovery.
The Marine Hospital officials came off
the steamer at ten o'clock last evening.
1.-The Nippon Maru has been placed in
quarantine said DR.. Cofer. She will
not be allowed to dock but the cabin
passengers may come off in launches
in the morning. The steerage passen-
gers for this port will be placed in
quarantine on the island. There was a
suspicious case of plague aboard the
vessel, and the regulations are being
followed in the precautions taken to
prevent any danger to the community.
The patient is now getting along very
nicely, and will no doubt recover

capsized the University of Pennsyl-

today on the Severn with the navys
crew ond gave to the latter an easy
victory. Hardly had the crews taken
to the water, but stiff breeze started
and a heavy sea was soon rolling over
the course. The boats got off we'll from
a flying start The middies being mora
accustomed to rough water, took things
as easy as possible merely hanging on
and not trying to squirt. Pennsylvania,
however, hit things up to a 50 stroke
and their boat soon commenced to fill
At the Santee wharf the bow went un-

was swamped and the men were taken

The navy OarSmen were little pleased
over their hollow victory and imme-

another date SO that the real merits
of the two crews could be tested This

SHOT BY A POLICEMAN.
Desperate Negro Met His Match
Last Night.

A negro, Willie Jockey, was shot last
night by Policeman Frank George at
the corner of Ninth and Bladen streets.
The negro had been acting disOrderly
and Policeman George went to arrest
him, when he drew a revolver and at
tempted to shoot the officer. The at
tempt would have proved successful
but for the fact that the pistol failed
to fire Then it was that Policeman
George drew his revolver and fired.
The bullet hit the negro in the right
thigh, inf1icting a painful wound. Upon
being shot the negro ran, but a few
yards away fell down an embankment
and broke his left leg. He was taken
to the city hall and then to the James
Walker Memorial hospital, where his
wounds were dressed by DR.. Akerman.
Policeman George was the officer SO
brutally assaulted by the negro, Ed.
Smith, several weeks ago on Dock
street, between Front and Water.

StinctS
Casimer Reichlin, the brother who
was in the house when the murder was
committed, said he would swear that
Father Walser was as innocent as he
was himself. Both brothers are ap-
parently firm in the conviction that
there is not a bit of evidence that will
show that Father Walser is guilty.
Mayor King, of Lorain, felt impelled
to cause the arrest of Father WalSer
because of the intense feeling against
the priest. County Prosecutor Lee
Stroup said he wanted Father WalSer
to explain q few things to him before
he would consider him innocent Of the
crime. Prosecutor Strout signed the
warrant charging Rev. Walser with
murder in the first degree.
Rev. Walser will be given a prelimi-
nary hearing before Mayor King at
Lorain probably after the inquest,
which takes place at 10 o'clock Tues

TO STAND BY TEMPERANCE.
The knights Templar and MasOns
of California to Have no More
Wine at Their Banquets.

San Francisco, May 1.-The grand
commandery of the Knights TempIar
of California has decided by a unani-
nous vote that hereafter no wine shall
be served at the Templar banquets.
The innovation has been introduced. it
is claimed, so that the order on this
coast might fall in line with a general
movement of the same kind in the east
and because the use Of wine in the
lodge rooms for all of the functions is
contrary to the principles of Masonry.
1t is said that the grand lodge OF
Masons at it's annual meeting next Oc-
tober will take the same decisive action
and order that all banquets given under
the auspices of any Masonic lodge OF
the state be strictly temperate.
