CRIES FOR HELP ALARM
GUARDS AT ALCATRAZ
Hear Voices From Boy, Apparently
for Assistance, but Search
Reveals Nothing

Guards on the dock at Fort Alcatraz
were startled last evening about s
o'clock by loud cries for help coming,
apparently from the bay just south
east of the island. An alarm was
given at once, and the Government
steamer General Mcdowell was dis
patched to the scene from whence the
sounds came.
Several pleasure yachts which hap
pened to be in the vicinity also
hastened to give assistance, and a
thorough search was made Of that en-
tire locality. When the news reached
San Francisco a number of launches
were sent to the scene, but nothing
could be fund. The tide had just
started to ebb at the time of the ac-
currence, so If the persons who raised
the cry were at the mercy of the waves
they were carried in shore, and have
not been taken out to sea.
The man in charge or the scow at
Blossom Rock heard no sound and saw
nothing. The night was clear and the
moon at it's brightest, and there was a
complete absence of fog. The wind was
blowing strong from the west at the
time.

EASTERN WAR RUMORS
MAKE PRICES VARY
American, Japanese and Chilean
Bonds Take Jump in the
English Market.

LONDON, Dec. 6.-With a stronger
belief that the Bank of England will
not find necessity for raising it's rate
in the near future. the Stock Exchange
last week was swayed chiefly by the as
poets Of the Russo-Japanese crisis.
After the week had opened the report
received by the Associated Press from
Paris that a practical basis of agree
ment had been arrived at by Russia
and Japan. caused a revival Of hopes
for peace which was strongly reflected
in the advance in the price of Japanese
bonds. Russians, however, did not
show wide fluctuations.
The sale. of the warships Constitution
and Iibertad to England by Chile i'm
proved the price of Chilean bonds owing
to the belief that the amount received
for the vessels may avert the necessity
for Chile to raise loan abroad. The
market for American securities again
shared considerably in the general re-
vivaI of business, the recovery being
materially assisted by the squirt in steel
preferred shares.

WONDERFUL ENDURANCE
is DISPLAYED BY A DOG
Creature With Broken Leg Lives
More Than a Month Without
Food or Water.

Wonderful endurance through pain,
hunger and thirst was displayed by a
valuable bulldog, the property of ]. f.
Hennig, a grocer at 1115 Folsom street.
The animal, with broken leg, was i'm
prisoned in the basement of the grocer S
home for a period of thirty-four days,
during which time it lay in suffering
without a morsel of food or a drop of
water.
Hennig made a pet of the dog and
took it to the store with him each day.
where it kept watch on the premises
during his temporary absence. More
than a month ago, it was struck by a
car and its hind leg broken. The gro
Ger Immediately carried it to his home
at 100 Vermont street, and before at
tention could be given the fracture the
dog had disappeared. No one could To-
cate it, but neighbers claim they could
hear its walls during the night. Search
was made, but without result until last
night, when it was discovered in the
basement, where it had fallen un-
noticed. Every attention is now being
accorded the creature.

DENIES THAT SUBSIDY
BILL WILL BE DEFERRED

WASHINGTON. Dec. 6.-Representa-
tive Grosvenor, chairman of the House
Committee on Merchant Marine and
Fisheries, to which ship subsidy bills
will be referred. said tonight that so
far as he was concerned the published
report that a compromise had been ef-
fected whereby no ship subsidy bill
would be urged at this session, but
a commission Of investigation. on the
subject created instead, was erroneous.
He added:
IT know of no such compromise or
agreement and I venture to say that
nothing OF the kind has been arranged.
A single individual came TO me Fri
day morning and handed me what pur-
ported to be a bill for the creation OF
a commission. I have NOT read IT, I
merely glanced over it. do not know
who agreed to it, or who drew it, or
anything connected with 1t beyond
what have stated. and I am quite
sure that if any agreement. compromise
or arrangement had been made by any
body having authority or official rela-
ton to Congress. I should have known
of it,"

eDRUNKEN MANS LUCK"
SAVES INDIANA FARMER
Lands on Pilot Of Engine After Col
lision and Rides Unscathed,
Though in a Stupor.

HAMMOND. Ind, Dec. 6.-Farmer
Charles Stahlbohm, proprietor Of a
roadhOuse near this city, will not care
u duplicate the thrilling experience he
had last night while driving home from
Dyer, where he had been buying stock.
He had met too many friends in Dyer,
and as he with his team neared the
MonOn Railway. fifteen miles south of
here, he did not notice a fast freight
train until It was upon him. The train
killed both horses and made kindling
wood Of the wagon.
Stahlbohm Jared miraculously. He
was thrown upon the engine pilot, and
so tightly had he grasped his lines that
he still held parts Of them, as well as
the whip. when the train pulled into
Hammond. There he was found by the
engineer, who did not know of the col
lision.
Stshlbohm evidently thought he was
still driving. for he was seated upright,
with blankets around his knees and the
remnants Of the lines still Outstretched
in his hands. When Engineer Bellinger
shook him out of his stupor he angrily
accused the trainmen of stealing his
cap and his horses, and had to be held
from fighting them. Stahlbohm was
uninjured.

DIR. ]. McIvor Tvndall.

An immense audience was in evil
dence to hear DR.. Alexander ]. McIvor-
Tyndall last night on Proofs of I'm
mortality DR.. McIvor-Tyndall has
been here for six months past, and the
interest he has awakened in the alb
struse problems of metaphysics has de-
veloped into desire to know more of
the philosophy as well as the phenom-
ena of the invisible forces of the hu-
man mind. The lecture last night was
one of the most interesting of the many
interesting lectures given by the IA
nous student of psychology, and the
audience showed it's appreciation by the
closest attention to every word DIR.
McIvor- -Tyndall paid a high tribute to
the work done by materialistic science,
but said that it is to religious faith
rather than materialistic science that
we are indebted for our proofs of i'm
mortality. He gave 1t as his opinion
that when the twentieth century com
plexity of thought shall have become
concrete we will find that religious faith
and scientific proofs will unite on the
question of immortality" The lecture
was followed by some marvelously in
tricate and interesting phenomena of
the mind and soul. Next Sunday even
ing DR.. McIvor- -Tyndall will take for
his subject Our Common Birthright."

AGED MAN IS KILLED
BY A RAILROAD TRAIN
Body of Michael Walsh, Soap Seller,
Found Lying Beside
the Track


The dead body of Michael Walsh. an
aged man, who lived at 200 Utah
street, was found beside the Southern
Pacific tracks at Fifteenth and Harri-
son streets last night. The unfor-
tunate man had evidently been killed
by passing train.
The body was discovered at o'clock
by A. Dayton, a plumber, living at
1904 Harrison street. Dayton was
passing up the track with lady friend
and noticed a dark object lying on the
ground beside the track. He said moth
ing for fear of frightening his compan-
ion, but returned at 10 o'clock and
made sure that 1t was a dead man. He
notified officer Weatherford of the
Mission station and the Morgue wagon
removed the body.
Foul play was at first suspected, but
when the mans right arm and back
were found to be broken this theory
was abandoned.
Walsh had evidently been killed by
the $50 D. m. outbound train, as he
was found lying by the track over
which that train passes. He was a
soap seller and leaves three daugh-
ters, Mrs. j. E. Cary, Miss Mamie
Walsh of 200 Utah street and Mrs.
William Keefe of 1864 Fifteenth street.
The body was identified by p. F..
Foley and J. A. Davis, workmen en-
ployed in the Southern Pacific shops
near by, and later by the dead mans
son-in-law, J. e. Cary, at the Morgue.

OIL IN. STOVE
CAUSES DEATH
Mrs. J. Pisani Fatally
Burned While Light
ing Fire.
Injured Woman Refuses to Be
Removed to the Hos
pital.

Mrs. John Pisani, 80 years of age,
wife of a teamster, who resided with
her husband in a lodging-house at Ills
Howard street, was fatally burned yes
terday as the result Of lighting a fire
in a cooking stove with Illuminating
oil.
The unfortunate woman was about
to prepare the monday meal, and IN
order to make the wood fire burn read
lily, poured oil from a can on the al
ready lighted wood.
The oil blazed UP and enveloped Mrs.
Pisani in flames. She was dressed In a
calico wrapper and apron and rushed
from her room to a porch, her cloth
ing being a mass of flames. Her hus-
band, who was about to enter the room
when the accident took place, was
thrust aside by the frenzied wife.
Mrs. Pisani dashed screaming along
the porch and some of the roomers en-
veloped her quickly in rug while her
husband threw a bucket of water over
her and extinguished her burning cloth
ing.
Roomers in the house at once applied
oil and other remedies to the burned
body of Mrs. Fisani and call was sent
for a doctor and ambulance from the
Central Emergency Hospital.
When the ambulance arrived Mrs. Pi-
sani was conscious and she positively
refused to be removed to the hospital.
Shortly afterward Mrs. DR.. e. L. Nc
Kay was summoned and everything
possible was done to alleviate the in
jured woman's sufferings. Medical aid,
however, was without avail, and Mrs.
Pisani died at D. m. Her body was
removed to the Morgue.
A rumor was circulated that the
woman's husband had been heard
quarreling with her shortly before the
accident and Detective O'Day investi-
gated the case and found there was alb
solutely no foundation for the rumor.
Mrs. William O'Brien, a lodger in
the house, who helped to put out the
burning clothing of Mrs. 'Pisani and to
minister to the injured woman, in
formed Detective O'Day that Mrs. Pi-
sani had told her how the accident had
happened.
Pisani stated yesterday that his wife
was in the habit of using oil to start
fires and that he had repeatedly
warned her as to the danger of the
practice.
