CANNON BREAKS RECORD.
Dispatches Private Pension Bills in
Quick Order i'm the House.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-Speaker
Cannon to-day took the bit in his
teeth and ran completely away with
legislative precedent in the Fouse. In
cidentally he broke all previous records
in the dispatch Of private pension
bills. Under his guidance 800 of these
-leasures Of relief were Iassed by the
House in 155 minutes. Nearly the
whole of this time was consumed in
committee OF the whole. The House
passed the bills zen 1loc" under unan-
imOus consent, which the Speaker him
self asked for.
About half Of the bills were disposed
of under this request, those without
amendment. When objection was
temporarily made the Speaker plainly
showed his displea-ure BY dragging
the proceedings. The objection was
with-rawn, whereupon the remaining
bills -ere declared passed without even
the. .formality Of having the clerk read
their numbers.

BITTER WORDS
FROM MORGAN
Senator Attacks Policy of

CAUSES A GREAT STIR
Miss Alice Roosevelt, Who Was
in Gallery of Senate, Leaves
Her Seat in Angry Mood
Special Dispatch to The Cali.

CALL BUREAU, HOTEL BARTON,
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE Senate
to-day listened to the reading by SEN
aUor Carmack Of a speech prepared By
Senator Morgan, in opposition to the
Presidents policy with reference to an
isthmian canal, and also considered the
bill appropriating 100000 to ex-Queen
Liiuokalani Of Hawaii. Spooner moved
to recommit the measure but the vote
on his motion failed to develop a quo
rum, so the Senate was forced to ad-
journ.
The President has taken a course
which would have cost the King Of
Great Britain his crown, If not his
head, thundered Senator Carmack
during the reading Of Senator Morgan s
speech, causing a movement in the
diplomatic gallery. Miss Alice Roose-
Velt, accompanied by several other
young women, arose from the front
seats they had been occupying and left
Miss Roosevelt's face was slightly
flushed. but she held her head high. Her
friends followed laughing and joking
her on her anger.
Ihe sentence was the climax Of the
severe arraignment Senator Morgan
had made of President Roosevelt. AS
the Alabama Senator was unable to
make himself heard because Of a sore
throat Senator Carmack read his
speech. No Senator on the minority
side arraigns the President more Bit
terly in his speeches than does Car
mack and he read Morgan's words
with great gusto- Miss Roosevelt had
brought some friends to the Capitol and
they were being shown about by Sen
ator Kean. They entered the diplo-
matte gallery not long before Carmack
arose and were, of course, unaware
that they were to hear one of the
strongest personal criticisms of Presi-
dent Roosevelt which have been heard
in the Senate this year.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

SALT LAKE, Utah, Feb. 12-In an
avalanche of snow that struck the little
mining town Of Alta this afternoon two
men are known to have met death.
while it is feared that others may have
been killed. Alta is thirty miles from

JOSEPH j. BURNSWOOD, proprietor
of the Granite mine.
JOHN JOHNSON, a watchman for
the Albion mine.
Both were residents of this, city and
both leave families. The body Of the
mine owner has been recovered, but
that of the watchman still lies buried
deep in snow piles.
The slide occurred at o'clock this
afternoon, without the slightest warn
ing The men were at work in the
mines or tending to their accustomed
duties on the surface. Burnswood and
Johnson were chatting at a table at
the formers residence, and John Per-
kins, a clerk, was asleep in a bed up
stairs. Suddenly a great white mass
appeared at the top of the higher wall
of the canyon and hurled itself down
the mountain side.
IL struck tne mousse Win IOrce enough
to reduce the building to old lumber
The debris and the three men were car
ried over the hill and on with the ava
lanche. Burnswood and Johnson were
buried in the snow, but Perkins had a
miraculous escape. Awakening to find
himself on the crest OF the slide, he
was hurled through space at lightning
speed for fully half q mile, then
thrown into the snow drift uninjured.
To or three small cabins were also
carried away. At late hour tonight
Burnswood's body had not been found,
although many miners are digging for
it, Several serious snowslides have oc-
CURED at Alta, which was practically
wiped out by one avalanche few
years ago.

EXECUTES WILL
BEFORE DEATH

Nineteen days before her death Mrs.
H. A Floyd Gopcevic, the wealthy
daughter of the late Captain r. s.
Floyd. a retired naval officer, who, in
October last, after a romantic court
ship. became the wife of NJ. NJ Cop
cevic, a gripman on the Sacramento
street cars, made her last viii and tes-
lament This fact was made known
yesterday by the filing of a petition for
special letters of administration upon
the estate Of the deceased. These letters
were ordered issued by Judge Kerrigan
in Department 10 Of the Superior Court
to Henry E. Matthews, the lifelong
friend Of the deceased's father and
mother and Of deceased herself, and
TO Pedar NJ. Gopcevic, the dead
lady's brother-in-law, who are the
two persons named in the will as the
executors. The bonds of the petitioners
were fixed at $4,000 each.
The attorneys for Gopcevic and
Matthews are Judge John F. Davis and
Bishop. Wheeler & HOeffier.
The petition for special letters re-
cites that Mrs. Gopcevic died Febru-
airy Il, leaving an estate which pro-
duces an income OF s25OO month
and which needs the care of a special
administration.
1t recites further that on January
%, 1903, nineteen days before the
death Of Mrs Gopcevic. she made q
will in which she named her hus-
bands brother and Matthews as ex-
ecutOrs.
The estate left by Mrs. Gopcevic is
a large one. which she inherited from
her mother, Mrs. Cora /. Floyd. who
died in 1893. Mrs. Floyd stipulated
in her will that the estate should be
left in trust. Mrs. GoDcevic. who was
at that time unmarried, tried to break
the viii, but failed in her efforts to do
so, so that the estate is still held in
trust.
i consists OF valuable properties To-
Gated in different parts of the State
and is valued at somewhere in the
vicinity of s75O,O0O.
The will, which is reported to be
Photographic in form, is concise and
simple. The young husband is said
to come in for a very large share of
the estate. and Miss Elisa G. Prich-
ard. her friend and devoted compan-
ion of many years, is bequeathed the
beautiful home at 1888 Sacramento
street, as we'll as being also hand
somelv remembered otherwise.
The immediate cause of Mrs. Cop
cevic's death was an attack of meas
les. which, coming when she was in
a particularly delicate state of health,
resulted fatally. The funeral will be
held this morning at 9:45 o'clock
r.o.., tho Creek RuSsiaD church on
Powell street. near Filbert.

CRIME WE'LL PLANNED.

The entire affair was characterized
by the greatest cOolness on the part OF
the robbers and was the result of a
well formulated and cleverly executed
plan. While the four were operating
in the room another member Of the
gang stood guard in the hallway. The
masks worn were made Of some soft
black material in which holes had
been cut. All were armed with what
appeared 10 be 44-caliber revOlvers,
and one carried in addition a murder

welded in a threatening manner.
After completing their work two OF

Lyons Are Losers by Visit
Of the Desperate Criminals

One OF the most daring robberies
in the history OF crime in this city and
equaled only by the exploits Of the
notorious Jesse James gang was per-
petrated shortly after midnight when
Eve armed men, their features con-
cealed by black masks. entered the
rooms OF the Colonial Club at 1873
Powell street and secured money and
5ewelry aggregating $4,000 in value.
Eight members Of the club were in
the rooms at the time and they were
tied hand and foot by the desperadoes.
The robbers were entirely familiar
with the interior arrangement Of the
rooms and knew where the bank roll
vas kept and IN whose possession the
keys could be found. They joked with
their victims and were accommodating
enough 10 loosen the cords when one
man said they were too tight.
A quarter past y o'clock Joe
Schreiber, John Lyons, Clarence Water
house, Jerry Quill, Billy Engstrom,
Joe Harlan, Russ Flint and man
named Heath were sitting around one
Of the many tables in the clubrooms
engaged in playing whist. The game
had just been finished and il was
suggested that one more should be
played. The cards had hardly been
dealt when there came a loud knock
on the door opening into the hall
BOLD GUESTS ENTER.
Joe Harlan went TO the door and
threw il open, only TO be confronted by
four masked men and as many ugly
looking revolvers Of heavy caliber.
The quartet entered the room and or
dered, Hands up" Eight pairs Of
hands shot ceilingward in an instant
The eight men were then ordered to
stand with their faces toward the
northerly wall Of the room. Heavy
cord was then produced and the vic
inns were bound hand and foot and
ranged face downward on the floor.
Upon entering the room one of the
bandits said, Get the guy with the
light coat. He has the keys" This
referred TO Harlan, who wore a plaid
smoking jacket. Harlan before being
tied endeaVOred TO get a glimpse Of
one fellows face and received a blow
from the butt end of a pistol for his
pains. One Of the quartet declared in
a grun tone that This is no limit
game, and we want II ALL
Harlan's pockets We're searched for
the keys TO a desk IN the front room.
These were secured and one of the
nlen lost no time in getting the bank
roll, consisting Of $500. All of the
crooks were cool and collected and ap-
peared TO be I'm no hurry. Two in par
ticular seemed very cool. as if the trick
were not new to them.
While two stood guard the others
went through the PROSTATE forms.
From joe Schneider. one of the pro-
prietors, $500 was secured. John
Lyons was relieved Of s285, a diamond
stud and ring. From Clarence Water
house. the well known member of the

they took $1,000 in bills and a thou
