SHIP PICKS UP A STONE
Cuts Big Hole in the Hull, but Acts
as Plug to Keep the
Water Out
snecial to The herald.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. 26.-The big
freighter Brazil is at the shipyards dry
docks in South Chicago with a huge
stone weighing fully 1900 pounds held
securely between the plates in the cen
ter of the boat near the keel, The
stone was picked up by the steamer
somewhere between Duluth and South
Chicago and Capt. Riebold is unable
to explain how the stone came in con-
tact with the boat.
The big stone after tearing away Il
number of plates and cutting a big
hole in the side of the Brazil served as
a plug to prevent the boat from leaking.
1t arrived in South Chicago in good
time and the captain states that he
experienced no great difficulty in max
ing the trip to South Chicago.
Employees of the Chicago Shipbuilding
company, who have been repairing
monster steel steamers for nearly fif-
teen years, say that this is the most
peculiar accident they have ever known
to happen to steamer. They have
handled all manner of damaged boats,
but say never nave they known of a
case where a stone, after crushing
in the side of the steamer, acted as
plug.
The stone will be placed in the ship
yards museum, being regarded as a
rare curio. The Brazil will not be able
to make any more trips this season.

HUNTING DOGS SLAIN
And Now the Owners Threaten to Sue
Mr.. Rockefeller for Heavy
DAMAGES
to The Herald.


Special to The Herald.
TARRYTOWN, N. Y, Oct 26.-Since
John D. Rockefeller returned from his
vacation in Cleveland he has been in
auguTating reforms around his big
country estate called BoXwood, in Po-
cantico hills, where he is now living.
In addition to maintaining a special
patrol to keep visitors from driving and
tramping over his domain and building
an iron fence miles in length to enclose
BoXwOod, he now has employees, armed
with shotguns killing dogs that stray
upon his place. Italians and negroes are
acting as special patrols, and it was
said today that Mr.. Rockefeller gives
a bounty of 50 for each mongrel killed.
The men, however, have killed some
valuable hunting dogs, and now there
is trouble brewing for the head of the
Standard Oil trust. Several hunters
who lost pointers threaten to sue Mr..
Rockefeller for the loss of their ami
mails.
John Egan of Pocantico was among
those who lost two valuable dogs. The
hunters use the dogs in trailing foxes
that have their haunts on Buttermilk
hill, a mountain on the Rockefeller es-
tate, and in running down the fox the
dogs generally run through the lands
of Mr.. Rockefeller.
Mr.. Hemingway, who has charge Of
Mr.. Rockefeller's estate, said tonight
it is not the intention of Mr.. Rookie
feller to have the hunting dogs killed
but he wants homeless ours shot be-
cause they kill his squirrels, partridges
and other private game.

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
NEWARK, N. j., Oct 26.-William
Henry Belcher, mayor of Paterson, N.
j., fugitive from justice and embezzler
of more than 900 from financial in
stitutions, has been located at Yebri.
Queensland, Australia. There is little
doubt but that he is residing there with
his old friend. James Robertson, for
mer Patersonian, who left home under
similar circumstances more than fifteen
years ago.
Belcher is known to have written to
his friend at least twice month dur
ing the last two years he was in New
Jersey. He mailed a letter at Yebri q
week before he became a fugitive.
Leaving Paterson July 81 last, Bel
cher is known to have boarded train
at Little Falls three miles from Pater-
son. At Newark he boarded a train
for the west, arriving in San Digo,
Cal, five days later There he is known
to have met several friends, who in
formed him of the developments at his
former home.
He had shaven his mustache and 9TH
erwise attempted to disguise himself.
Belcher passed several days at San
Diego and this fact assisted him in
defeating an attempted capture at the
instigation of California officials when
the ship on which he had engaged pas
sage as william H. Pitcher" was
searched at San Francisco and Homo
lulu.
When placed under arrest in San
Francisco Belcher called upon his San
Diego friends to prove his identity,
and they did so, claiming him to be a
business man of that city. While the

CITY MAY FORCE
LIBRARY TO PAY
C0UNCILMEN PROPOSE T0I
COLLECT RENTAL
Assert Institution Has Been Granted
Quarters at Hall as Courtesy,
and May Request Board
to Move Out

mo new quarters for you at the
citys expense; move out from those
you now occupy or pay rent"
This is the slap which the council
promises to take at the library board
when the request for more room is
made at the meeting of the council next
Monday morning. Four councilmen
have already declared that this will
be their action and it is expected that
others will join them when the de-
mand is made.
The councilman from the Sixth has
stated that he will make a motion to
this effect; Councilman Smith has said
that he will heartily second such a
motion and Ford and Healy expect to
support it. Other councilmen do not
favor such a drastic demand but state
they will not listen to a proposal to
furnish the library with a location in
another building at the expense of the
city
THE library has no claim on u.s."
said Councilman Smith yesterday, and
there was no indignation in his tones.
I'VE furnish them with quarters in the
city hall at no expense to them but
1t is purely a question of courtesy on
our part The institution receives an
appropriation sufficient for it's needs
and if it, the library, wants more room
it can pay.
Its occupancy on the third floor is
costing us a good deal of money every
month because we have to provide Of
flee room for other departments outside
of the city building, whereas these de-
partments could be accommodated in
the space occupied by the library. Now
IL the library wants to move let it pay
che expenses
At a meeting of the library board
Wednesday evening the librarian was
instructed to prepare communication
to the city council asking that the
clerk be instructed to advertise for bids
for temporary accommodations for
the library, as this department has
greatly outgrown its present quarters
in the city hall. The statement was
made that a location having a much
greater area of floor space than the
library is now compelled to use could
be rented for a term of two or three
years at about the same expense to
which the city is now put to pay for
office room outside of the building and
as the city has always furnished To-
cation for the library at no cost to the
library appropriation, it would proba-
bly, continue to do so.

EXTRA VOTE PLAN
PROVES WINNER
CANDIDATES SECURE MANY
BALLOTS THEREBY
Proposition to Give 1000 Extra cou-
pons to Each SaIesIady Who Brings
In Five Subscriptions Arouses
Increased Activity

The proposition of giving 1000 extra
votes to each lady in The Herald s
Salesladies Contest who secures and
brings in this week five new three
months subscriptions has proved to be
very popular with the candidates, and
quite a number of them will receive
ballots for extra votes. These free cou-
pons are not confined to city subscrip-
tions by any means, but the candidates
securing country subscriptions will be
awarded alike.
These extra votes may be just suffi-
cient to win some lady one of the prizes
that are being offered. If such is the
case, the successful one will be truly
grateful for the opportunity afforded
this week.
The plan is one which works good
both ways-for the contestants and for
The Herald. Those who succeed in get
ting five new three months sub
scriptions are to be congratulated, but
those who do not should not feel dis
couraged as there is ample time to close
the gap of a few thousand votes. Quite
a number of the contestants have ar
ranged for a sitting at Marceau, the
photographer on South Spring street,
and next week we will begin to publish
the photographs of the ladies vino are
in the race. The idea is a good one
as it will be the means of making vote
getting easy. Photographs clear up all
confusion and let people know for
whom they are voting and the re-
production of photo may be the means
of securing many thousand votes. The
candidates should send in their photos
as early as possible. If any of the
ladies who are competing in this race
have no photograph of themselves, go
to Marceau and have one taken free of
charge, the same to be published in The
Herald. Photographs sent in will be re-
turned in a weeks time unharmed. In
terest is growing day by day and it is
presumed from the large number of
votes already cast that the final strug
gle for supremacy has already begun.
1t is several weeks before the contest
closes, but each contestant is desirous
of securing the lead, as the lady who
leads catches the scattering vote of The
Herald subscribers, who are only mod
erately interested in the contest.
This scattering vote amounts to sew
eral thousand weekly-the vote as
shown in The Herald daily is only that
of the votes already polled. Present
leaders are not necessarily the winners
by any means. Reports come in daily
to the effect that reserves are piling up
rapidly and those who have the largest
number of votes banked" are the ones
who will undoubtedly win out Decem-
Der 2S. Now is the time to enlarge
the reserve. Daily effort is better than
a final plunge. Poll a few votes each
day so that the readers of this publi-
cation will see that you are in earnest.
about winning one of the prizes.
People are generally willing to help
those who help themselves.

Her royal highness, the princess of

charming costumes made for her jour
ney to India. Her fondness for the
short jacket, and especially for the
bolero, is particularly noticeable. The
range of colors in which she will ap-
pear is large. There are very many
beautiful white dresses, while grays in

Believe to Be Harry Ward

The police believe they have in GUS
tody one of the men who broke Jail at
San Bernardlno a few nights ago.
Patrolman Randolph made the arrest
in a Third street saloon last night. The
man gave the name of III. Wilson" ."
He is believed to be Harry Ward who
was serving a six months term in the
San Bernardino jail for petty larcy
committed at Redlands.
The man whom Patrolman Randolph
arrested had been drinking heavily and
had grown rather garrulous. He volun-
teered the information that he had been
in San Bernardino recently and that he
knew something of the Jail there. The
policeman overheard these remarks and
instantly recognized the man as bear
ing a striking resemblance to a photo
graph of Harry Ward sent out by the
San Bernardino officers.
The prisoner is held pending action
