EMIGRATION OF ENGLISH
WOMEN TO CANADA
Movement Launched With the Idea Of
Promoting Imperial Sentiment ..
in Dominion.

LONDON, Dec. Under the aus
pices Of the W0man's Institute. a
movement was launched this after
noon to promote the emigration Of Eng
fish women and children TO Canada,
with the idea Of supplementing the ef-
forts which are being made to foster
imperial sentiment preparatory to i'm
perial unity The. initial plans are
concerned entirely with the practical
welfare Of the prospective emigrants
Positions will be found for them and
centers Of association will be estab-
lished, where their common interests
may be discussed. 1t is believed these
emigrants, well distributed throughout
Canada, will help to diffuse affection
for the motherland and to deepen the
determination of the colonials to resist
Americanization.
Miss Miles, who has just returned
from the Dominion, where she investi-
gated the condition of children who
have already emigrated, in Miss Nc
Pherson's home in Stratford, Ont, and
of those in the home connected with
the Roman Catholic Emigration Asso-
ton Of Montreal, told. the Woman's
Institute that Canada held out great
opportunities for women and children
TO lead active, healthy and useful lives.
She declared that the material side of
Canadian life was more hopeful than
that. Of England and that the moral
side as Illustrated by the repugnance
Of public opinion to women visiting
saloons, was infinitely. sounder.

THEFT OF TWO.
TONS OF ORE
Gold-Bearing Rock Mysteri-
ously Disappears From the
Mouth of a Mine Shaft
speeIal pIspateh % rhs can.

SAN BERNARDINO, Dec. IA dar-
ing mine robbery was made public this
morning when General Manager E. w.
Tucker Of the Sky-blue marble quar-
ries- came TO town from the company
property south of Coltop.~ The other
day the company put in a blast to dis
lodge a big body OF granite 100 feet be-
low the surface, and the explosion I'M
covered a two-foot stringer of gold
bearing quartz. The excitement of the
Mexicans attracted Tucker, when one
of them picked up a piece of quartz
and exclaimed breathlessly, Gold,
gold, gold" speaking in his native
tongue An examination of the rock
brought to light minute particles of
gold all through It,
The Mexicans were put to- work at
once digging out the rock and puing it
at the mouth Of the shaft. At least
two tons had been collected and this
morning when Tucker and the bosses
appeared they were dumbfounded to
find that during the night the entire
ore dump had disappeared, the thieves
even going so far as to sweep UP the
smallest particles of rock. InveStiga-
ton showed that the ore had been
packed to the south side Of the noun
tain, the thieves pushing their way
through the brush and reaching a
place where a wagon had been driven,
into which the ore was dumped. Only
those who saw what pile of ore had
disappeared can realize the amount of
labor 1t must have REQUIRED to commit
the theft. :.

TRIES TO KILL
FRANK JAMES
Montana Man Goes Gun
ming in Butte for the
Former Bank RObber
Special Dispatch to The Call.

BUTTE, Mont, Dec. Flew OF the
audience watching the play THE Fatal
Scar" in the Broadway Theater to-
night knew that outside. in a hack.
sitting with a cooked revolver in his
hands, was a man thirsting for the life
of Frank James, the main attraction
of the play. If the man. Charles N.
Galland of Helena, had made an at
tempt to draw revolver on James no
one can say what the result might have
been.
The hack driver who took Galland to
the theater said he was accosted by
Gailand on the street and asked to have
drink Galland then gave orders to
be driven to the Broadway Theater,
after asking where James was playing.
When the theater was reached Galland
asked the driver to go in and get
James, saying he was after his life. The
driver then tipped off the affair to the
police and the arrest followed.
The police investigated, and, after
going back on the stage and warning
James, went to the hack and relieved
Galland Of his revolver. Galland had
the weapon at full cock and was hold
ing 1t in both hands.
AT the Jail Galland, who was under
the influence of liquor, talked inco-
brother-in-law during the Mortified
Bank robbery. and insisted he -would
get" James before he left town.
The police intend TO keep Galland I'M
til James is out of the way in order to
prevent trouble, although no charge
will be placed against him.
When seen at the hotel after the play
James had revolver in his over
coat pocket and was anxious to have
the situation explained to him. He had
taken drink at bar with Galland
during the afternoon, but he did not
know who he was. He said he did
not want to have any trouble, but
would like to be prepared if any man
was looking for him.
Why" said James, ~if he believed
/ or any one had been associated with
killed his brother-in-law, why did he
not get me years ago? Every one
knows where / have been pitching hay
and blowing for the past twenty years
down in Missouri, and If he is Just be-
ginning to think of making holes in me
/ think he is little bit late-don't

DISAGREEMENT
ENDS IN A RUN
Struggle of Bank Directors
for Control Causes Deposi-
tors to Withdraw Funds

BUFFALO, N. Y, Dec. Ia fight for
the controlling interest in the German
American Bank to-day resulted in a
run on that institution estimated by
Vice President Schilling at 100000. The
Withdrawals were made by large de-
positors so that the run did not cause
any perceptible excitement to-day.
President Emery of the Greman-
American Bank called meeting Of the
directors at the close of to-day's busi-
ness. When the meeting was over two
statements were issued: One declared:
THE bank is perfectly solvent able
and willing to meet any demand. upon
it in full and ready to submit its entire
affairs to the examination Of the. clear
ing-house."
A second statement read:
Notice is hereby given that Edward
A. Weppner is no longer cashier of this
bank, his relations having been severed
to-day"
President Emery came here from Bal
timore last spring to assume the presi-
dency of the bank, having purchased a
controlling interest in the institution.
The minority stockholders have not al
ways been in accord with the new
officials. 1t was proposed by the new
regime to consolidate the German
American and another bank in this city.
The minority stockholders represented
by Cashier Weppner. it is claimed, OPP
posed this move.

AT the same time, however, there re-
main claims aggregating at least $780,

sum is apparent from a statement
made by her attorney yesterday. When
asked if they would reach a million
