An illustration OF the bungling
manner in which naval affairs are
handled these days, is furnished by
the recent order issued by Secretary
Moody for four war ships to pro-
coed to Chilli. Immediately the
story was circulated that the ships
were sent at the request of the Brit
ish Ambassador because of the la.
Dor troubles in Valparaiso and
numerous rumors began to fly. The
CHILEAN Minister, DR.. Walker Mar
tinez, promptly filed protest say
ing there was no occasion for such
an expedition and that there were
no serious labor troubles in Valpa-
raiso. Other South American Min
listers besieged the State Depart
ment, which knew nothing of the
proposed expedition, and the up.
shot OF the whole affair has been
that the orders have been recalled
and that no vessels will 60 to Chilli.

Speaking of naval affairs, it has
just been learned that the Nevada
has been injured in the same man
ner as was the Maine, recently. The
two IL inch guns in the forward
turret were fred simultaneously and
the recoil burst off the hanges of
the wheels on which the turret re-
wolves and the turret itself became
jammed and useless. The usual in
vestigation will follow and will, of
course, disclose the usual incompe-
tence in preparing the plans for
this vessel. AS the blame will be
on the Navy Department the public
will be informed that the accident
was unavoidable. AS the Arkansas
and the Florida are similarly built
it is believed neither will stand the
strain of similar test and the Gov
eminent Will proceed to expend
large sums repairing vessels almost
new and which should have been so
planned as to resist any strain for
many years. Only the firms which
win receive the contract for repairs
will profit by this carelessness.

The arrival of a youngster yesterday at
the home of Charles II. Hermann, a
widely known man about Chicago, has
saved Hermann from bankruptcy. Six
months ago, when he learned there would
be an addition to his family, he went
forth and discussed it with his hundreds
of friends, expressing the hope each time
time that it would be a boy. From hop
ing it would be a boy he began
betting it would be boy. From betting
bottles of beer he got TO betting cases of
wine, suits of clothing, trips to Europe.
dinners for 80 and finally money. On
Saturday he bet 50, 600 automobile and
and then went home to await develop
mcnls. He kept close account of all
wagers in big book. Had girl arrived
he would have been bankrupt, but it was
a boy that hove in sight. "My boyl My
boy!' shouted Hermann, 'Tm mighty
glad to see you you had been a girl
YOUR old dad would have been busted.
As it is he almost a millionaire" Her
mann has employed big tcaming con-
Germ and constable to make the rounds
and collect his bets, which mount far in

LABORFACTION CLAsHEs.

One of the greatest clashes between
labor factions in the vicinity of Wheel
ing, w. Va, that has occurred in the
annals of the city took place early yes
terday morning between the striking
machinists and about twenty-five non
union men who took their places in the
Riverside plant of the United States
Steel Corporation. The battle was
initiated Saturday night, and despite
the fact that over 1000 shots
were fired in the clash there were no
fatalities, and only a few persons were
wounded. The machinists have been
out on strike for several weeks, and the
situation was becoming desperate for the
cooperation until they imported about
twenty men tC take the places OF the
strikers. The men have been assaulted
from time to time, but the situation had
not reached an alarming stage heretofore.
The strikers congregated about the
boarding-houses of the non-uDionists
Saturday night fully armed, and began
an attack upon the places. The houses
were heavily barricaded and many
volleys were fred into the structures.
Finally well-directed shot from within
the house wounded one of the strikers,
and he was carried to the hospital.
Clay Hoover, spectator, was also shot
in the left knee, but not seriously. A
number of other people who were in the
building with the non-uniOnists received
wounds, which were dressed by physi-
cans. The rioting continued until 2
O'Clock yesterday morning, when it
abated somewhat. The police were
powerless to interfere and reenforcements
were requested. About 800 unionists
participated in the riot, and fresh out
break is expected at any moment. AT
10 o'clock last night the strikers, who
were lying in the hills, fired upon Peter
Silatek, who was passing that point.
He was seriously wounded. The strikers
mistook him for spy.

DEATHS IN THE ALPS The death
toll in the Alps this season has been
very large. Already more than 800 ac-
cidents have been recorded, resulting in
the loss of $50 lives. No district has
escaped. From the Jura Mountains,
the Dauphin and Maritime Alps, the
great Swiss ranges and the Austrian
peaks the story is the same. Almost
daily there is tale of perilous adven-
ture accident and death. The general
cause of disaster has been the exception
ally unfavorable weather combined with
Unprecedented false economy. Case after
case has been due to climbing without
guides in disregard of the weather and
snow conditions, while several deaths
have been due to the foolish and increas-
ing practice by women of climbing at
tired in fashionable costumes, such as
lace petticoats and light shoes. An ex-
ample of such a fall was that OF Miss
Gilman, who was climbing Mont Pilatus
attired in smart spring toilette There
was also the case of Nine. PehadOf,
whose fatal fall on Mont Seposoir was
directly due to wearing fashionable
clothes and thin shoes. One of the most
marvellous escapes was that of Hon.
Gerald Fitzgerald on Monte Rosa. lie
was passing along dangerous edge,
roped between two guides. Fitzgerald
and the younger guide, Alner, fell, but
the rope held and the other guide, Al
ner's rather, succeeded in clinging to a
rock. Young Alner saved himself and
reaching the hut telephoned for help.
Fitzgerald having broken his right leg
was unable to help himself and remained
for several hours suspended in midair
over a precipice of 10, 500 feet. Thanks
to the indomitable courage of old Alner,
who stood mOtionless those seven hours
with his legs propped against a bowlder
supporting him at the end of the rope
till help arrived, he was saved.

Mary Truegiver Taken From
indians by Force.
SHE Is A WHITE GIRL
Step Father Tried to Force
Marriage.
SHE is A WHITE GIRL

Guthrie, o. t, May 5.-The Ponca City
Courier has the following:
This morning Deputy United States
Marshal Alva Hutchinson, accompanied
by Deputy Sheriff Henry Seng, went out
TO the camp Of Old Prettyhair. an Usage
Indian and took forcible possession Of
Mary Truegiver, a 16-year-old girl, who
has beer held by the man against her
will since the death of his wife, Aunt
Phoebe" some six months ago, and
brought her TO town.
The old fellow showed fight when the
officers appeared and threatened and at
tempted to shoot both the officers and
the girl. and only relinquished his captive
at the muzzles of a couple of Winches-
tiers.
The girl, now sixteen years of age. was
adopted when an infant by Aunt Phoe-
be-" an Usage squaw. who gave her the
name of Mary Truegiver. in commemora-
ton of the fact that the child had been
given her by it's parents. who were white
people. Aunt Phoebe" was good to the
girl and brought her up as best she could,
treating her as her own daughter. 1t
is said that the girl was so attached
to her foster mother that she refused to
leave her when offered home =ith peo-
pie of her own race. When the girl was
about eight years old Aunt Phoebe be
came the wife of Prettyhair but the girl
was still given a good HON ewith the
couple until the death of the old squaw
which occurred some time last fall. Then
old Prettyhair desired TO marry the girl,
but she Indignantly refused the preferred
honor. The girl finally ran away and
went to Pawhuska, where she was gwen
a home in the family of the government
physician. dressed in the garb of civiliza-
ton and well cared for. Later, old Pref
tyhair induced her TO return to his camp
promising to cease his persecution and
permit her to dress Ike white people All
went well for a time. but lately the old
trouble began and complaint was made
to L. S. District Attorney Speed, who or
dered Deputy Marshal Hutchinson to re-
move the girl to q place of safety, which
he has done. as stated above.
She was brought to this city and placed
with a family where she will have
good home as long as she desires to
stay. This afternoon. through the eff
forts of Deputy Marshal Hutchinson,
about fifty dollars money was contrib
uted by our generous citizens and placed
in her hands for her present needs.
She is an intelligent and fine looking
young woman, and no doubt will be able
to earn her own living as soon as she
learns the ways IF the white people.
Old man Prettyhair is probably 60 or
10 years of age. and is said to have been
counted a great warrior in his younger
days, having as many scalps on MS string
as any Big Injun on the job. His place
is about twelve miles southeast of this
city in the Usage reservation.
