Percy Nelson, laborer, were asphyx-
lated in Sacramento street lodging
house. They were to have started for
Los Angeles this morning. James Ty-
son, aged Is years, and formerly a

rubber tube attached to gas stove
had rotted and allowed the fluid to
escape. Miss Jennie Crowley laun-
dress, rooming at 626 Golden Gate ave-
nue., was found in her room in COM
atose state and died at the hospital.

TO PREVENT WAR.
European Powers Have Taken Hand
in the Matter.

Washington, Dec. 23-Diplomatic
pressure will be brought to bear upon
Colombia by several European powers
to prevent war between that country
and the United States. The first step
has already been taken by several for
eign powers through their representa-.
tives, who have informed General
Reyes of the futility of any attempt
by Colombia to retake Panama, de-
claring that it will result only in pre-
cipitating the Bogota government in
to war with the United States and
that the result of such a catastrophe
Colombia herself must realize.
If this is not sufficient, the repre-
sentatives of these countries at Bo-
gotta will be instructed to inform Pres,
ident Marroquin that Colombia may
expect no sympathy from the Euro
pean powers in any movement she
may make on Panama, which would
inevitably involve her in war with the
United States. The members of the
diplomatic corps have been informed
by General Reyes himself that he fears
he can with difficulty check his people
much longer.

men and police reserves from three
precincts had the utmost difficulty in
getting the people out to the street.
The fire started on the third floor,

GREAT MONTE CARLO GAINS.
Seven Millions Profit-Best Year Ever
Known.

Seven Millions Profit-Best Year Ever
Known.
Monte Carlo.-Although there has
been no sensational play recently, this
}ear will be the most profitable year
ever known here. This is partly be-
cause of the closing of Ostend Spa.
,ausing an increased clientele and
partly because the cold, wet weather
drove people here during the off sea-
son.
Last years profits were $500, 900.
This years will be close upon $1,000.
600.
Increased facilities for heavy gambl.
ing will be given in the new year by
the opening of new sporting club an.
next to the Casino. On the first floor
of the old Monte Carlo hotel a gor-
geous saloon has been fitted up for
baccarat, while rooms have been set
apart for bridge, poker, and, in fact.
any game at cards gamblers desire.
There has been great discussion
among the authorities as to whether
women shall be admitted to the sport
ing club. Professional gambling sharps,
who receive valuable aid from pretty
demimondaines in securing victims,
are urging the authorities to admit
women.
