MAKES PLEA FOR PRESCOTT
Personal Friend of Speaker Resents
Criticism

"Gen. Frank c. Prescott told me en-
phatically before the Republican con-
vention that he would pledge himself
to no senatorial candidate, and if he
went to the Legislature it must be with
the understanding that he should act
as he thought best for the interests of
Southern California and his constitu-
ents," said Holdridge o. Collins, a
close friend of the speaker of the as
sembly yesterday, in commenting upon
the attacks of ill faith which have
been made upon Mr.. Prescott
HE further said he had been ap-
preached by candidates who had asked
him to give assurances of support in
case of his election to the legislature.
To all advances of this kind he had
said he would not under any circum-
stances accept the nomination If that
nomination was to come to him in re-
turn for pledges on his part"

BANKER MORSE NOT
PASSENGER ON LINER
Engaged Stateroom but Did Not Board
Lucania-Mrs. Gelshenen's
Children Sail


NEW YORK, Jan. 7.-Charles W.
Morse, the banker, did not arrive from
Europe on the steamer Lucania today.
He engaged a stateroom on the vessel
and it was expected he would sail on
board at Queenstown, but he failed to
appear.
Assistant District Attorney Garvan
today said he placed no credence in the
report that Mrs. William Gelchenen
was in New York and that she would
appear before the grand jury on Mon
day. Mr. Garvan said:
'I accept the word of her lawyer and
her son that she sailed last Tuesday.
We are satisfied that Mrs. Gelchenen
was not passenger on the Deutsch-
land today. Mrs Gelchenen, her daugh-
Dunne aunt of Miss Gelchenen, were
passengers on the Hamburg liner.
"That kilograms, letters and baskets
of flowers were sent to the Deutschland
for Miss Gelchenen is easily explained
by the fact that many of her friends,
hearing that she was to sail today,
sent those tokens of friendship
Mr.. Garvin denied a report that sub
poenas have been issued for Attorneys
James M. Back and Samuel Inter
grand jury, and later District Attorney
Jerome said that no subpoena had been
issued for Charles w. Morse.

Special to The Herald
PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. AFTER
travelling over 5000 miles in the hope
Of finding a husband who disappeared
over seventeen years ago, disappoint-
ment was the fate in store for Mrs.

be her husband, Mrs. Roderick trav-
eled from Dawson to Centralia and
looked up George Roderick, but found
he was not her missing husband.

Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO. Jan. 7.--Lo, the poor In
dian! The blissful mystery of his
genealogy will soon be uncovered. In
addition to the endless list of crimes
charged to him in the past, he will have
to answer for an ancestry. He has one
and it has been discovered bys Prof.
Frederick Starr of the University of
Chicago, department of asthropology.
While in Mexico the blight that is
about to visit the red man was uncov-
cred in an ancient Aztec manuscript
that is yellow with age. Prof. Starr
only returned from Mexico today and
known for a few days. The professor
believes that he has made an important
discovery, but not until he has fully
interpreted his pictures and legend will
he be able to announce definitely what
the world has waited for hundreds of
origin of the Indian.
The professor brought hairy Ainu
from Japan to be exhibited at the
Worlds fair at st. Louis.
The Aztec legend book is pro-
nounced the only document in the
world containing an accurate history
and the legends of the Aztecs and which
Prof. Starr believes will give in full the
history of the American Indian.

CHORUS GIRLS
ARE INJURED
BRIDGE C0LLAPSES DURING
STREET SCENE
PANIC NARROWLY AvERTED
Twenty Persons Seriously Hurt by
Stage Accident at Metropolitan
Opera House Production
of Carmen"
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 7.-More than
twenty members of the chorus of the
Metropolitan grand opera company
were seriously injured tonight by the
collapse of the bridge i'm the street
scene in the opening act of Carmen
None of the principals was on the
stage at the time of the accident and
the uninjured members of the chorus
heroically massed at the front of the
stage and sang on in an attempt to
prevent the public from learning what
had happened.
The curtain was rung down as soon
as possible and Heinrich Conreid, the
impressario, prevented a panic by urg-
ing the great audience to remain seated
and not be frightened.
All of the exits of the theater were
opened Immediately after the accident,
but scarcely half a dozen persons of
the handsomely dressed audience left
their seats. Within fifteen minutes
after the crash the performance was
resumed, and few persons in the big
theater realized how serious the acci-
dent had been.
At the close of the performance
Frank p. Palmer, master mechanic of
the Metropolitan, was arrested and
locked UP in police station charged
with criminal negligence.
Palmer refused to make any state
ment. He will be arraigned in court
tomorrow morning.

Startling Revelations in the Bank
ruptcy Case Against Brokerage
Firm of Munroe G.

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Jan. There is war in
the camp of the Standard Oil company
ruptcy case against the laundry
brokerage" firm of Munroe & Munroe,
which show that Vice President Archi-
bald G. Loomis of the National City
bank, a Standard OIL concern, was at
the head of the syndicate which en-
ployed the Munroes to "wash" 100000
shares of Montreal and Boston Copper
stock, and that he as credit man of the
banking institution loaned this firm
$50 900 a day without, it is charged Sc
curity to show for it.
1t is understood John D. Rockefeller
wants to force the resignation of
Loomis Immediately, but H. H. Rogers
and his people have allied themselves
against the pursuit of such policy on
the ground that if Loomis' connection
with the National City bank were sew
cred at this time it would be a tacit
admission that all charges made against
the vice president with relation to his
leadership of the Montreal and Bos-
ton washing" syndicate were true.
Lawson has found in the Munroe &
Munroe trouble a text for another Law
songram, which reads in part:
"The affair is simply one of the thou
sand dubious deals with which Wall
street is honeycombed.'

EXPERTS DIFFER
AS TO AUTHOR
BUTLER-REAVIS CASE NOT YET
ENDED
Prof. Ames Declares That Miss Butler
Wrote the Missves, While Rev.
Mr.. Hough Denies the
Allegation

More than one hundred schoolma ms
board of education yesterday to hear
Prof. D. L. Ames of San Francisco,
said to be the most noted expert on
handwriting in the world, testify in
connection with the charges preferred
by Miss Cora A. Reavis, a teacher in
the Union avenue school, against Miss
Isolda Butler, who also teaches in the
same building.
The attorneys for Miss Butler again
renewed their objection to the taking
county board was without jurisdiction
to hear the charges, but the objection
was promptly overruled and Attorney
Willis opened the case on behalf of
Miss Reavis.
He said he intended to show that
the letters received by Miss Butler and
subsequently made public were not
written either by Miss Cora Reavis or
her sister, but by Miss Butler herself,
who penned them in a disguised hand
Ill lHG Pul POoS VI iilhlii6 IiOupAS'
At this juncture the attorneys for the
defense admitted that neither of the
Misses Reavis had penned the letters,
whereupon Miss Reavis' attorney asked
if the defense would also admit that
Miss Butler was the author.
This question was denied and Prof.
Ames was called as. the first witness.
Prof. Ames testified at great length
and finally insisted that the letters
were undoubtedly in the HANDWRITING
of Miss Butler.
On cross-examination Prof. Ames re-
fused to alter any material point in
his testimony and he was excused.
Rev. George A. Hough of San Fran
cisco, formerly teacher of penman-
ship in this city and recognized hand
writing expert, testified in behalf of
Miss Butler and his testimony was di-
rectly opposite to that given by Prof.
Ames.
Further hearing in the case was con-
tinued until January 21, at which time
the case will probably be disposed of,

STATEHOOD BILL

MANY VESSELS GO ASHORE
Senator Beveridge's Efforts to Induce
Opposition to Agree to Date
for Vote Is Without
Success
Special TO The Herald.


Special to The Herald.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-There
seems no longer any doubt the state
hood bill is once more slated to play
it's old role of buffer for the session
with no prospect of passage unless in
q greatly modified form. Senator Bev-
eridge, who is in charge of the bill,
busted himself last night and today
trying to induce the opposition to agree
to date for a vote but without sue
cess.
He has had several conferences with
Senator Bailey of Texas, leader of the
Democratic opposition, with the result
that the Texas senator has made
tentative offer to accept the bill If it
is modified so as to admit New Mext-
CO as a separate state and leave Ari-
ma indefinite in it's present territorial
status.
Senator Bailey is willing that Okla
hcma and Indian Territory should be
tied together as one state, but wants
certain changes in the provisions re-
lating to them. This offer Senator Bev-
eridge has rejected. He. insists that
the bill must stand or fall in sub
stantially it's present form.
There seems to be no doubt that the
bill will fail of passage in any form
Even senators who are ostensibly in
favor of it privately tell their friends
it has no show and practically admit
it is being used as a buffer to stave
off consideration of the pure food bill
and other measures the senate leaders
don't want to deal with at this session.

EARTHQUAKE
CAUSES PANIC
ANGELEN0 HEIGHTS FEELS A
SEVERE SHOCK
OFFICE BUILDINGS TREMBLE
Residents of the Suburban District
Rush From Their Houses as the
Ground ouivers Be-
meath Them

An earthquake of considerable vio-
lence was felt distinctly in Los An
geles yesterday afternoo:: at 1855
o'clock
While the shock was slight in the
downtown district, on Angeleno
Heights the disturbance was of suf-
ficient magnitude to cause residents to
rush panic stricken into the street.
The shock was of several seconds
duration, and although noticeable to a
comparatively few people on the street,
was experienced with no slight de-
gree of surprise and alarm by persons
in some of the taller office buildings.
Weather Forecaster George E.
Franklin in his office on the sixth
floor of the Trust building, Spring and
Second streets, said that owing to the
lack of apparatus he had no means of
determining the severity of the dis
turbance, but he had felt distinct
trembling of the building at the time.
In the vicinity of Helen street on
Angeleno Heights the earth's trembling
seemed to be more pronounced than in
any other part of the city. The build
ings in this district are principally
frame dwelling houses, but in a two
story brick structure the effect was
pronounced.
The last noticeable tremor of the
earths crust at Los Angeles was eX-
perienced Christmas day, 1903, when
the most severe earthquake in the his
tory of the city was felt.
During the past two weeks seismic
disturbances have been reported in va
rious parts of California, and in San
lence have been experienced.

HEADQUARTERS OF THE THIRD
JAPANESE ARMY IN FRONT OF
PORT ARTHUR, via Tien Tsin, Jan. s..
The meeting of Gen. Nogi and Gen.
Stoessel today was as undramatic as
the conclusion of the siege. 1t had
previously been arranged to take place
at noon in the single undamaged house
of the village of Shuishi. This house
was a miserable hovel called Plum

Through misunderstanding Gen.

O'Clock accompanied by Col. Reiss and
two staff officers to the Japanese lines,
and missed the Japanese officer dele
gated to escort him to the meeting
place.
The general rode there without an
escort and was received by a junior
officer who happened to be on the spot.
The latter telephoned to Nogi, who
hurried his departure from headquart-

PROSPECTS ARE NOT TAKEN
SERIOUSLY
is ON WAY TO SACRAMENTO
Rumor That Effort Might Be Made to
Throw Flint Votes to San Diegan
After the First Few
Ballots
BY a staff Correspondent

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 7.-Senatorial
gossip is so indefinite that even the
wise" politicians of all factions have
discontinued their services as profess
sional mathematicians and have re-
signed themselves to the inevitable. AS
each day brings a new candidate into
the field, so does the gossip increase
and vary the fact that the aspirants
and their campaign managers are now
in San Francisco trying to square mat
ters with the Organization"
Watch that man Grant" was the
password today. Hes on his way from
the east to Sacramento and will ar
rive Sunday"
So far there have been no evidence
of a Grant boom, although it is known
that he is in a receptive mood. The
San Diego delegation does not place
much in his prospective candidacy, but
say if things begin to look up for him
they will flock to his support.
1t was rumored about the different
political headquarters today that an
effort will be made to throw the Flint
votes to Grant if the former aspirant
finds he cannot win after the first few
ballots. This, however, is not credited,
as Flint is an Organization" man, and
if it is found they cannot be success
full OXnard, Fisk, Knight or some
other organization man will proba-
bly, be the choice. The Organization"
holds full sway in the legislature, al
makers who scorn the idea of corpo-
rate dictation. Such Legislators are to
be found in the Bard column.
All sorts of rumors are afloat to the
effect that the sack" will be opened
after the first ballot is taken on the
senatorial question. The quiet but SAN
guine role assumed by Oxnard has led
to the belief that he will be the first
to dish out the "needfuP wherewith
Il is also predicted that Fisk and Flint
will come through" at the appointed
time if they have not already done
SO.
A senatorial deadlock in a California
legislature is said to be like a coveted
prize in grab bag.
Bard Faithful to Trust
Senator Bard will not be here Mon
day, as was expected. Affairs at the
national capital demand his presence,
so that he may not reach Sacramento
before Thursday. Following is the text
of a telegram received by his cam
paign managers from the senator to-
night:
81 am anxious to do everything pos
sible to cooperate with my suppor-
ters, but statehood affairs, which in
terests the whole country, California
especially, md my responsibility in
leading the opposition forbids deser-
ton when victory seems near"
Preparing for Exercises
Advantage is being taken of the ad
journment of the legislature to decorate
the assembly chamber for the exercises
of the electoral college next Monday
afternoon. A profusion of American
and California Bear flags are being
effectively used about the speakers
desk and the pillars and balcony railing
The local legislative population was
further decreased this afternoon
through the departure for San Fran
cisco of more members of both houses.

Permitted to Keep Swords

When Nogi, looking careworn, entered
the compound of the cottage the two
generals cordially shook hands and
Nogi, through an interpreter, expressed
his pleasure at meeting a general who
had fought so bravely and gallantly for
his emperor and country. Gen. Stoessel
thanked Gen. Nogi for the pleasure of
meeting there the hero of the victorious
army.
Gen. Nogi explained that he had re-
ceived a message from his emperor ask :
ing that the greatest consideration oe
shown to Gen. Stoessel and his officers
in appreciation of their splendid loyalty
to their emperor and country. Because
of that wish, he added, the Russian
officers would be allowed to wear their
swords.
Gen. Stoessel expressed his gratitude
to the Japanese emperor for thus saw
ing the honor of his (Stoessel's) family,
and said his descendants would appre-
ciate the thoughtful kindness of the
emperor of Japan.
