POLICE RIDE
ON HEARSES
Chicago Funerals Conducted
With Some blance of Or
der Despite Drivers Strike

CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-More hearses
were used by the undertakers to-day in
conducting funerals than at any time
since the livery drivers went on strike,
but in every case policemen rode on
the seat with the driver. In one or
two instances regular funeral process
sions CT hearses and carriages drove to
the cemeteries.
In answer to the notification sent out
by the Liverymen's Association yester-
day, declaring that the places of all the
strikers would be filled at once unless
the strikers applied for their old posi-
tions, more than 100 men are said to
have returned to work. Nearly every
union man who asked to be taken
back made the declaration that there
was general feeling among the strik-
ers that the employers would win in
the end and that public sentiment was
against the men. The dissatisfaction of
the drivers is most general among those
men who were employed in the fashion
able livery stables. These men made
a great deal of money in tips, and they
are afraid that nom union men will
take their places.
The employers say they will have no
difficulty in engaging men to fill the
places of the strikers and that car
riages for the use of the general public
will be sent out this week.
Norman Larson, said to be a union
teamster, was arrested for interfering
with a hearse which was returning
from Rose Hill Cemetery.
Because they had been detailed to
guard Chicago city railway car in
the guise of passengers as protection to
a non-union crew, Policemen James
Gibbons and George Oakley were at
tackled by union sympathizers tonight
and in the fight that followed both po-
licemen were seriously injured. The
trouble occurred at Twenty
street and Archer avenue, when Hal
stead street car ran into a General
Electric car and was deralled.
While Gibbons and the non union
conductor went into a saloon to tele-
phone for the wreck wagon, a crowd
surrounded the disabled car and began
throwing bricks and stones. Hearing
the disturbance, Gibbons came to the
assistance of Oakley, but the rioters
were in such numbers that both police
men were soon overpowered and un-
doubtedly would have been killed had
not several other policemen, who had
been summoned, charged the crowd
with clubs When the mob had been
dispersed Gibbons and Oakley were
found lying on the ground and both
were taken to a hospital At a late
hour tonight Oakley was still uncon-
scious.

Submarine Mine Near Singapore
Discharged Almost Immedi-
ately After a German Mail
Liner Passes the PerilOuS Spot
BRITISH OFFICERS
SHOUT A WARNING
Naval Men Seek to Stop the
VESSEL, but the Captain,
Finding It Impossible, Takes
a Most Desperate Chance

VICTORIA, B. c., Dec. 27.-The
steamer Shinano Maru which arrived
to-day from Chinese and Japanese
ports brought remarkable story from
Singapore, which is vouched for by
Shanghai papers, of the narrow escape
of the German mail liner Prinz Helm
rich, from being blown up by subma-
rine mine.
When the steamer was leaving Singa-
pore during the early part of Novem-
Der a steam launch with a large party
of British naval officers on board
steamed toward her, and the British
naval men shouted excitedly:
You are in great danger, Right be-
fore you is submarine mine. For
Gods sake go astern, full speed"
Captain Heintzer. realizing that his
vessel had too much way to stop, quick
ly steamed ahead, hoping to get over
the danger spot Suddenly the mine
exploded about two lengths astern with
a tremendous roar, throwing up the
water with a great splash.

BUILDING UP THE NAVY.
The time is not far off when the
navy will require a number of high
speed cruisers. 1t is probable that Con-
gress will authorize the building of
three battleships which, when COM
pleted in 1908, will give US twenty
eight battleships. These, with the thir-
teen armored cruisers, including three
enormously classified as protected
cruisers, will constitute quite a for
midable fighting feet, but in the mean
time no provision is being made for i'm
proving and increasing the cruiser
class. The present lot is an lily assort-
ed number of vessels of different
types and out of date, which require
almost entire reconstruction in order
to be as efficient as those of other
naval powers. The Atlanta and Bos-
ton are nearly twenty years old; the
Baltimore, Newark and San Francisco
were built about fourteen years ago;
the Cincinnati, Raleigh, Columbia and
Minneapolis. We're disappointments as
to speed; the Albany and New Orleans,
bought abroad, while good ships. do
not compare with similar types built
in Germany, which are two knots
faster, and the Denver class of six
ships have no counterparts in any
other navy where six knots greater
speed has been obtained on a like dis
placement. Nineteen ships, consti-
tuting the protected cruiser class is
divided into nine distinct types only
three, of which the Olympia, Albany
and New Orleans, may be counted on
as being able to make twenty knots for
brief run at an emergency. The other
cruisers range from fourteen to
eighteen knots. which. when compared
with English French German Jtal-
ian and Russian ships of that class,
places the United States navy at the
foot of the list

BANK NOT sATIs4ED ),

The attention of Auditor Bacon was
first called TO this claim by the First
National Bank OF Berkeley, which tele-
phoned to him and asked him if such a
claim would be allowed if presented.
Auditor Bacon scented a mouse and
informed the bank that he would not
allow it. 1t then transpired that Mac
Mullan had been endeavoring to dis
count the claim at several places, that
he had applied TO J. B. Lanktree, who
refused it, and then he tried the Berke-
ley bank, which telephoned to Auditor
Bacon and then refused to handle it.
Meanwhile Macmillan stands upon
his assertions that the claim is legal,
and he frankly says that his total
claims viii be in the neigh borhood of
sS5, 900, and if he don't get the money
he is going to sue for it.
Some of the discovered" property
consists of the so-called franchise upon
the ferry system Of the Southern Pa
cific Company. This was struck off the
rolls of Alameda County, but was al
lowed to stand upon the rolls of San
Francisco County. Mr.. Macmillan
calmly announces that if the assess
ment is sustained by the courts of San
Francisco he is going to sue Alameda
County for his half of the taxes due
this county. whether it collected the
taxes or not. a
Meanwhile the people are wondering
why it is. that it is so easy to slip
schemes of this kind through public
bodies. and it is very, evident that the
Supervisors will have. to make com
plete investigation in order to furnish
a proper explanation

Supervisor H. d. Rowe says that
when the Macmillan agreement was
presented it. was not expected that his
commission would amount to more
than $500 or $500, but he is inclined to
think the county can be, held for the
claims. He said:

DOUBLE CRIME
Two Young Men Are the
Victims of a Murderer in
the Notorious TOntO Basin
FEAR OF A NEW CONFLICT
Cattle Owners and Sheepmen
May Again Renew the War
Which Once Cost Fifty Lives
Special Dispatch to The Call.


PHOENIX, .Ariz., Dec. 27.-Two das-
tardly murders are reported from
Brush Hollow, near Gisela, in that sec
ton Of Gila County known as Tonto
Basin, the scene of the bloody war
some years ago between the cattlemen
and sheepmen. One of the victims is a
24-year-old son of a sheepman named
Berry, and the other is Mexican boy,
aged Il, son of a sheep herder with the
Berry outfit
The men were alone at the time,
though a third man witnessed the sup
posed murderer riding away from the
place. A goat herder in that vicinity is
suspected by some, but more people in
cline to the belief that the crime was
committed by some offended cattleman.
Hundreds of thousands Of sheep are
driven each winter from Northern Ari-
zona to the vicinity of Phoenix for
shearing and driven back in the spring.
Most of them pass through the Tonto
Basin, the cattlemen contending to tie
detriment of their ranges. In the Ton
to Basin war fifty lives are known to
have been sacrificed, and many proba-
bly, We're killed of whom there was
never official knowledge. Both sides
lost about equally.
Clashes between the factions have
since occurred but seldom. 1t was
thought the situation has been that of
an armed truce, and fear is expressed
that this incident is another outbreak
against the sheepmen, there being
known here no local cause for the
tragedy. officers of that locality are
active and the murderer may now be in
custody, as it is a hundred miles from
a telegraph station. The murders oc-
