Gated in a swindling game which is
said to have netted him several thou
sand dollars, promises to be identified
as a. California duplicate of Hoch, the

Ward was arrested here two years

of a large sum, and was sentenced TO
ten years in San Quentin. but the Su-
preme Court gave him a new trial. The
prosecuting witness had returned East
and the case had to be dropped. AT
that time he had a wife. a daughter of
wealthy and respectable parents at
Tropico who had inherited snug for
tune from her grandfather.
Recently Ward was arrested in San
Diego, and a Los Angeles officer who
was visiting there saw him In jail. "A
woman whom he had married there
was visiting him, and the officer hap
pened to remember the wife he had
here. An investigation was made, With
the result that it was discovered that
Ward has one wife here, another in
San Diego, a third in Seattle and two
more in Denver. All these women had
money, and Ward seems to have made

Company After a Reported
Tilt With His Partners
BIG CONCERN NOW IN
CONTROL OF TAYL0RS
Retiring Official Is Said
TO Be Considering Propo-
SitiOn to Enter "A Rival
ShipbuiIding Corporation

Long existing friction between the
larger stockholders of the Risdon Iron
Works has finally resulted in the re-
tnement from the big engineering con-
cern of Vice President and Superin-
tendent r. s. Moore, who has been con-
nected with the company for more
than p quarter of a century He re-
signed his positions al a meeting held
last Monday. Although an effort has
been made to keep the matter quiet. it
was learned yesterday that a stormy
scene preceded Mr.. Moore's retirement
which was the result Of his discovering
that the TayIors. r her and sons. with
whom he had been associated for 50
many years. had purchased additional
stock in a sufficient quantity 10 give
them absolute control of the corpora
ton.
Immediately following the resigna-
ton of Vice President Moore, the Tay-
l0rs elected 10 the superintendency of
the works Robert H Postlethwaite
who had been connected with the
oraughtins department Of the company
fer a number of years. It has been
common talk in business circles for
several months that friction existed
between Vice President Moore and the
sons of President Taylor. It is re-
ported that Moore attempted to sup
plant Augustus Taylor as secretary
with Louis r. Mead. the auditor of the
company. but failed When the breach
between Moore and the Taylors had
Widened 10 a degree where reconcilia-
ton was impossible, it is said that
Moore made a proposition TO the presi-
dent that one or the other sell his
stock. President Taylor is said to have
refused to entertain either proposition
and quietly went on the outside and
purchased the stock held in the name
of Frank Drum. thus securing a con-
trolling interest and thwarting the sus-
pected plan Of Vice President Moore to
gain control. which he could have ac-
comphshed with the stock owned by
himself and other members Of his fam
ily and that Of several friends in the
company.
Learning of the move made by the
Taylors. the vice president went 70
Mondays meeting fully prepared TO
resign and he Immediately carried out
his intentions when the meeting was
called to order. The news of his re-
tirement, when it leaked out yesterday,
was an important topic of converse
ton IN business sections and was re-
spOnsible for a story circulated later
IN the day that another engineering
works is bidding for Moore's services
and that he is seriously considering a
proposition to launch forth in another

SHORE SWEPT
By TIDAL WAVE
Wall of Water on Lake Mich
igan Causes Great DAM
age and Alarm at Docks
UNUSUAL CONDITIONS
Peculiar Weather Prevails
and Almost Unprecedented
Rain Descends ON Chicago

CHICAGO. May 11.-Reports of a re-
markable tidal wave along the west
short of Lake Michigan were received
to-day. The wave seemed to be the
highest at Kenosha and Racine. Wis.
where a wall Of water swept In, caus-
ing much damage and alarm along the
docks At Chicago the wave simply
raised the stage Of water and caused
a very heavy current down the drain
age canal. Boats navigated the river
with the greatest difficulty as a result
of the current.
Weather conditions in Chicago this
afternoon were such that a recurrence
of tidal waves along the west shore
was anticipated. The rain during the
last twelve hours has been almost un-
precedented. Within few hours the
fire department answered eighty calls
to pump out Easements in various
parts Of the. city
The wave is attributed TO the diner
ence in barometric pressure at differ
ent points, producing a wave or
'seiche" The pressure being relieved
at one point, the water rushed under
as the result of pressure on the surface
some distance away. Severe thunder
storms are expected to continue on the
upper lakes. The weather map to-day
closely resembled that Of May 26. 1886,
when the destructive tornado at 81.
Louis and other Western points did so
much damage.

BALFOUR SEES
DANGER AHEAD
Warns the Country That 1t
Must Prepare to Check
Russia's Advance on India
TO HAVE TROOPS READY
Says Grave Problem Will Be
Presented ii Car Is Al
lowed to Continue Tactics

LONDON, May LIN the House of
Commons to-day Premier Balfour said
that, having regard for the changes in
the sea power of other nations, redis
tribution of the fleet and army was de-
sirable for colonial defense, and the
Committee on Defense and the Admir-
atty have concluded that the fleet and
the army should be concentrated In the
center of the empire, from which they
could be distributed as necessity arose.
An invasion of India, he added, has
been the dream of many military lead
ers. The progress of Russia toward the
Afghanistan frontier and the construc-
ton of strategic railroads compelled
seriousness what its great military
neighbors could do No surprise was
possible in an invasion of India Any
collision of magnitude between the two
powers must depend upon the rapidity
of railroad construction. General Lord
Kitchener's view was that In addition
to the ordinary drafts eight infantry
divisions and other corresponding arms
should be available for the defense or
India In the first year Of a war
If Great Britain permitted the slow
absorption of Afghanistan In way
similar to that In which Central Asian
states had been absorbed, and If Rus
sias strategic railroads were allowed
to creep closer and closer to the from
tier, Great Britain would ultimately
pay for her supineness by having to
keep on foot an army far larger than
could be contemplated with equanimity
and she would face the greatest mill
tary problems which ever confronted
the British Government
Balfour remarked that the develop
ment of Russia toward India has from
time to time caused great alarm.
Great Britain had in vain by diplo-
matte means endeavored to prevent
Russia sexpansion, which must now
be taken as an accepted fact Although
the invasion of India was much talked
of by Russian officers, he did not be-
lieve that it formed any part of the
scheme of the Russian Government.
Further detailing the plans evolved
by the committee for the defense OF
the coast Of Great Britain, the Premier
said that, assuming the absence of the
Mediterranean, Atlantic and home
fleets in distant seas, the Admiralty
would have ready for service within a
few hours six battleships and six first
class cruisers, besides twelve cruisers
and twenty-four torpedo-Doat destroy
ers and ninety-five torpedo boats now
in the reserve, with the nucleus Of
their crews. He thought submarine
a unit in naval warfare generally and
at least in attempts to land soldiers on
a hostile coast
1t was the opinion of the field mar
sbal, Lord Roberts, that it would be
useless to attempt an invasion of
Great Britain with less than 10000 men,
and even il they landed 1t was but a
forlorn hope that they would reach
London. The Premier believed 1t was
impossible to land foreign troops In
Great Britain and therefore a serious
invasion need not be contemplated.

That Mr.. Roosevelt Is

INDEMNITY PROBLEM
THE ONE OBSTACLE
American President Said
to Have Already Been
Made Acquainted With
Russia's Negative Terms
Special Dispatch to The Call.

TOXIC, May u.-No one here has
any doubt that peace is coming through
President Roosevelt's offices. He has
ascertained that Russia desires to end
the war. and the St Petersburg Gov
ernment has acquainted him with the
fact that it hopes Japan will dispense
with indemnity, so as to enable Russia
to save her face. Cession of territory
is regarded as merely loss to China
and not actually to Russia Much is
hoped for from secret negotiations and
secret clauses to the peace treaty.
Meanwhile the Foreign Ministry at
Toxic is informed that President Roose-
yelt has ascertained the terms that
would be agreeable TO the neutral pow
ers.
From official sources it is learned
that peace between Japan and Russia
was nearly concluded when the unex-
pected appearance of the Russian sec
ond Pacific squadron in China Sea re-
vived Russia's hopes.

The Russian army which fought at Mukden
