ARMOUR SILENT
ABOUT WATSON
Chief Owner of Fruit Growers
Express Company Says Little
About the Porter Concern
REBATES A LIVELY THEME
New York Lawyer Seeks Infor-

counts but Is Disappointed

CHICAGO, Dec. Protesting that
he has no personal knowledge of the
accounts of the Fruit Growers Ex-
press Company or any agreement
which that concern may have had
with the Porter Bros. Company, J..
Ogden Armour, when placed on the
stand before Bankruptcy Referee
Wean, to-day declared that he could
not help the creditors of the latter
company to discover how much money
President James s. Watson received as
rebates. Armour, who is the prin-
cipal owner of the Fruit Growers Ex-
press Company, was on the stand for
two hours, all of which time he was
busy answering or refusing to answer
questions put to him by Attorney Bach
Of New York. The lawyer, who was
acting for New York creditors Of the
Porter Bros. Company, had previously
learned from General Manager Rob-
bins of the Fruit Growers Express
Company that Watson had received
about 100000 as rebates from the
express company in six years. Bach
thought Armour would be able TO
give more information on this sub
ject and also tell how much Watson
received from the railroad companies
which used cars of the Fruit Growers
Express Company in transporting
goods for the Porter Bros. concern,
but in this the New York lawyer was
The witness said that Armour & Co.
had made large loans to Watson and
the Porter Bros. Company, though
he did not know how much or for
what purpose. Armour declared that
the company's only claim against the
Porter Bros estate to-day is for $780,
900, which is secured by Mr.. Watson's
life insurance policy and stock of the
bankrupt company.

Halliday and the receivers, Nathan

DEATH ENDS
A PIONEERS
EVENTFUL LIFE
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SANTA ROSA, Dec. Levi Sam
uel Bacon Slusser, one of the noted
pioneers of California, died last night.
Slusser reached this State in the
spring of 1S47 and returned to the
East in 1851 to bring cattle to Califor-
mia He was one of the first men to
bring American cattle here and in so
doing laid the foundation for a large
fortune. He came to Sonoma County
in 1S47, but later went to the mines
on the Feather, American and Yuba
rivers, where he remained for many
months. In 1855 he returned to his
native State of Pennsylvania and there
was married to Miss Sarah Bowring,
who passed away at the iold home
place on Mark West Creek in 1888.
Slusser was "a years and months
of age at the time of his death and
had been a resident of this vicinity
continuously for over fifty years. He
was one of the most prominent men of
Sonoma County and was ever in the
vanguard of progress. After coming
from the mines he left trunk here
in possession of Thomas Hopper, with
whom he had crossed the plains. He
did not call for it for over two years
and in the interim made a trip East
with an OK team. The trunk con-
tanned $4,000 in gold dust and mug
gets and had lain under bed in Hop
per's cabin. Slusser was a member of
the California Pioneers and took great
interest in that organization. His
death removes an interesting figure
from this city and vicinity. One son,
William P. Slusser, of Mount Olivet
survives him.

CONVICTS GIVE
GUARDS POISON
Officers at the Salem Peniten-

Meal and Are Taken Very Ill
Special Dispatch to The CAN.

SALEM, Or. Dec. Last night an
attempt was made to poison the two
guards on duty inside the walls of the
Salem penitentiary with the presumed
object of making a wholesale escape
possible.
Taylor Smith and w. H. Fisher are
the night guards in the prison, and
their midnight lunch is prepared by
convict cooks. After eating this meal
yesterday they both became violently
i'll. Suspecting that the food had been
poisoned, they gave the alarm and all
the day guards patrolled the prison till
daylight.
Physicians say the two men were
suffering from some strong corrosive.
but as it might have been admins
tered to them by any of a number Of
persons, the investigation by the au-
thorities has not enabled a definite
charge to be laid against any one.

From the registrars office it was
learned tonight that fifteen students
had taken out leaves Of absence dur
ing the day, and probably as many
more have left for home without TAX
ing out leaves. 1t is probable that
about sixty students in all have left
the university since the first case of
diphtheria was reported. The majority
of these have left in response to urgent
kilograms from home. The panic that
seemed likely to develop a few days
ago has disappeared and work in the
university is continuing as smoothly

MURPHY HOPE
IS NJ 'CLELLAN
Tammany Leader Is Grooming
Mayor Elect for Democrat
ic Presidential Nomination
HILL BACK OF PARKER
Lively Fight in Prospect for
Control of the Delegation
From the Empire State
Special Dispatoh to The Call.

CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N.
W., WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-Charles
F. Murphy is aiming high for his
friend, Mayor-elect Mcclellan of New
York. If statements made to-day by
members of the House from New York
and by other friends of the Mayor
elect are to be relied upon. the leader
of Tammany desires to present the
name Of Mcclellan to the Democrats Of
the country as candidate for Presi-
dent, and he would like to do 1t in the
next national convention instead Of
waiting until 1908. That, In the opinion
of Representatives from whom the in
formation comes, is the reason Murphy
is fighting shy Of making any agree
sment with David B. Hill to have the
New York delegation to the next ma
tional convention vote solidly for Judge
Parker.
No one has dreamed that the Tam
many leader would take the man he
made Mayor and seek to make Presi-
Dental timber out of him, all within
one year. But that is the only construc-
ton given by members Of Tammany
who have been asked to explain the
denial by Murphy Of any agreement
with Hill.
1t is admitted that there is very
strong feeling in New York in favor of
Parker. It is said that If Judge Park
er's only support was Hill's strength,
then a close fight might be looked for
in the State convention.
Whether there will be contest de-
pends largely on the strength McClel-
Ian can give himself during the first
four or five months of his administra-
tion as Mayor.
