A PROMINENT
CATTLE RAISER

DENVER, Colo, March 2S.-Conrad
Schaefer, president of the American
Stock Growers Association. which was
formed in Denver in January of this
year, died at the home of his sister in
this city to-day. Death resulted from
a liver complaint, after an illness of
three months.
Shortly after the adjournment of the
National Livestock convention in Janu-
ary, Schaefer became all. He went to
his ranch near Deul. Colo, but was
compelled to return to Denver and sub
nit to an operation. Medical science
proved unavai1ing, however.
The death of Schaefer takes away one
of the. foremost figures in the stock
industry of the United States Sew
eral times he served as president of
the Colorado Stock Growers Associa-
tion and was unanimously chosen pres
ident of the American association when
it was organized in this city.
Schaefer was born in Tavistock. Ont.
January 8, 1S47,. and came to Colorado
in 1861 Three sons and a daughter
survive him.
Schaefer was grand master of the
Odd Fellows and the funeral services
will be conducted by this organization
at the hall on Wednesday afternoon.
During the morning the body will lie
in state. The interfnent at Riverside
Cemetery, will be private.

FATE OF CREW

Schooner G.. A. Klose. Which

ashore some time during last night on
North Beach, at place named Easter

The Kiose was reported yesterday
floating about off the mouth of the Co
lumbia River, water-logged and aban-
doned, by the tug Dauntless, which
brought in the oir barge Santa Paula
Later in the day the Klose was re
ported by the lookout at Cape Disap-
pointment, but it was so late in the
day and rough on the bar that no tug
was willing TO take the risk of going
out; in search of her. To-day as the
tugs were about to start TO hunt for
her word was received from North
Beach that the schooner had turned
turtle during the night and drifted
ashore There is a heavy surf running
at the point where the craft stranded
and there is every likelihood of her go
ing to pieces.
Wagner and the crew no word has
been heard. In local marine circles no
hope is expressed that they have been
saved. It is almost a foregone conclu-
sion that they have not been picked up
by a passing steamer, as they would
have been reported before this. 1t is
equally unlikely that they have gained
shore, as no point where they could
have landed is so inaccessible to habi-
tation that their presence would not
soon be made known.

BOSTON, March 26,-Poultney Bige-

Liberian, and Haytian republics in par

Liberia" he said, lis never without
tribal wars and slavery is practically
in full swing. This after eighty years
of our constitution there. Conditions
are bad enough. when you get to Hayti,
but they are not nearly so bad as
those in Liberia, and the reason they
are not so bad is because. of the in
fusion ofsewhite blood in Hayti.y. The
time has come for the study OF Afri-

in protecting him against himself We

Row Over License Question
Special Dispatch to The Call.

VALLEJO, March 26.-At special
held last night the error of the Trus-
tees, who had tied up the license of
every liquor dealer in Vallejo because
Mayor Roney had asked that the Ii
cense of the Waldorf saloon be consid-
cred separately. was remedied. The
present liquor license ordinance was re-
pealed atethe meeting. This action will
leave Vallejo without liquor license
law for the first five days of April.
At a special meeting to be held next
Friday the old ordinance will be passed
TO print and at the regular meeting of
the board to be held ON April 6 the pc
titions for liquor licenses will be con-
sidered again. 1t is believed that at
that time the. Trustees. will not object
to hearing the fapplicSf fions separately.
:, The cause of the Hngle Is the city
echarter, which provides that no liquor
licenses shall be granted except at reg

tees attempted to force the hand of the
Mayor : and, he struck back. Strong
pressure was. brought sto bear by the

tion upon Jacob Deininger, leading
brewer, and S.. Lyttle of the Vallejo
Steam Laundry, both Trustees and
business men, whose interests would
suffer from an unfriendy feeling on the
part of the liquor dealers These two
Trustees asked the Mayor for another

with ''the result that the old ordinance

PREDICTED WAR IN EUROPE.
Remarkable Report Made by Kuro-

ST. PETERSBURG. March ~
Prince Ouktomsky's new paper. Dawn
has unearthed a remarkable report
made by General Kuropatkin 10 En-
peror Nicholas in the fall of 1903, in
which the then War Minister ex-
pressed the opinion that the Yalu con-
cession was sure to induce war In the
Far East and took an optimistic view
of Russia's ability to cope with Japan
on land and sea, butsexpressed fore
bodings that the Triple Alliance might
take advantage of the struggle to
threaten Russia on the west, while
Great Britain brought matters to a
climax with the Afghans.
The whole tenor of the memoran-
dunn indicates that danger or the
European frontier loomed large in the
War Minister'S calculation and creates
the presumption that the Car was
chary about dispatching heavy REIN
forcements to the front until Emperor
Williams assurances. given at the
billiard game conference" removed
the threat as to the western frontier.
