SKIFF Goes DOWN;
TWO DROWNED
Unknown Gunners Met With
Peculiar Death in Della
ware River
NEITHER BODY WAS RECOVERED

Two gunners. In all probability Phila-
delphians. were drowned in the Delaware
river OF Edsemoor yesterday afternoon.
The accident, resulting in the deaths Of
the men was most peculiar.
According TO the report made to the po-
lice authorities OF Chester late yesterday
Afternoon by a. Drummond. Of Gibbs
town. n. j.. the unfortunte gunners were
drowned by their boat being drawn un-
der water by the suction from barge
from the stern Of which they were being
towed
It was when Drummond was coming
across tho river in his naphtha launch
that he was hailed by the captain OF the
barge Belle Miller" who requested him
TO make a report OF the fatality to the
Chester police. The captains story was
that the men. strangers 10 him, but at
tired in cunning suits had asked him
for tow and he had granted them the
favor
CUNNING sKIFF MISSING.
It was when the barge was passing
Edgemoor that the captain happened to
look toward the rear of his craft when
he made the discovery that the guuhins
skin in which the men had been seated
was being traled bottom up on the sur
face of the river. AS it had been but a
few minutes before that the captain had
spoken to the gunners. ne concluded that
the light craft had been capsized just
before he looked back the second time.
The barge was Immediately stopped and
the crew of it and the tug towing IT, made
a thorough search Of the river in that vi
cinity but no trace of the men was dis
covered. AS they probably were loade'
down with boots and heavy hunting coat
il is probable they Immediately sank q
the river bottom when their craft wa
drawn under and overturned boy the sue
tion from the barge. A reason assigne
for the fatality is that the men failed &
allow long enough tow-iine betwee
the barge's stern and their boat with III
result that the barge gaining speed wit
the change Of tide. had caused suficier
} suction to pun the towlne with fore
enough TO carry the skin under.
CORONER PURISs NOTIFIED

the drowning. but 50 far has learnf

MCCLURE GRANTED DAYS
RESPITE FROM SENTENCE
Slayer of Two Men Probably viii Re-
ceive Maximum Penalty
This Morning

For the third time John Mcclure, the
slayer of two men, was granted a re-
prieve from sentence yesterday by
Judge Smith in the superior court. ow-
ing to the failure of the defendants
attorney to serve copy of his motion
for new trial on the attorneys who
conducted the prosecution.
When court convened Yesterday
morning, Attorney Mclaughlin, who
represented Mcclure at the trial of the
case, filed a motion for a new trial.
and in an argument of some length
touched upon the errors alleged to have
been committed by the court in the
final instruction to the jury.
The motion for a new trial is also
based upon the prosecutions alleged
error in introducing evidence relative
to the death of Tsodicoff, the defen-
dant having been charged in the infor-
nation with the murder of Jerry
OShea.
He insisted that the prosecution in
error held that the killing of livery
man Tsodicoff was a part of the "res
gestae" in the O'Shea case. and the
attorney cited number of decisions
of the supreme court to substantiate
his contention.
Deputy District Attorney McComas
In behalf of the prosecution asked the
court for a continuance of one day in
order to file counter affidavits in re-
buttal of the motion for new trial
On the showing made by the dis
trict attorney Judge Smith continued
the case until this morning at o'clock,
al which time Mcclure will probably
be condemned to the gallows.

TOSSED ABOUT BY
WAVES FOR HOURS
OFFICER WlLLETT AND WIFE
NOT LOST
Return to Los Angeles After Having
Battled With the Storm In
Small Row Boat of
Catalina

After a battle with the elements
lasting more than two days, in which
sheer grit and muscle played promi-
nent part officer George Willett of
the local police force, who, with his
wife, was supposed to have been lost
in a storm off the western coast of
Catalina island. returned to Los An
geles yesterday morning.
Willett obtained leave of absence for
two weeks on the first of the month,
and went with his wife to spend his
vacation at Catalina.
Shortly before noon Sunday Willett
started out to row from the point of
the peninsula to the western slope of
the island. He was accompanied by
his wife. The couple started on their
trip in a small row boat.
Hard Struggle for Life
The boat was equipped with lunch,
little fresh water and some small
sea fish. Hardly had the little boat
gained a good headway when the storm
broke.
Through the foaming water, with the
wind bowling madly, the little boat
dashed on and on. The wife watched
her husband without thought of the
awful peril about them and cheered
him in his efforts to reach a safe spot
ashore.
They managed to land on a small
nook of the island, where for two days
they lived on fish and water.
When the storm subsided Willett
steered his small craft in the direction
of Avalon, reaching there safely after
few hours work at the oars.

TROUBLES OF SOAP
COMPANY ARE ENDED

In the superior court yesterday
Judge Trask put a quietus on the
varied troubles of the Lemola Soap
company when he sustained the de-
murrer and denied the petition for the
appointment of a receiver, filed Feb
ruary q last by H. D. Underwood,
one of the stockholders of the corpora
ton.
The soap corporation was formed
under the laws of Arizona, and it was
capitalized at $5,000,OO0. AS set out
in the petition for the appointment
of a receiver it appears the constitu-
tion of the company provides that the
net earnings shall be apportioned
yearly to stockholders of preferred
stock, before the common stockholders
shall participate at all.
According to the petition, it appears
that McCauley owns 500 shares of the
preferred stock, upon which he as
sumed to act as general manager of
the concern.
In the complaint Underwood charges
that McCauley has in his possession
the books of the concern, and that he
has unlawfully assumed to act as
general manager of the concern.
1t appears from the petition that the
stockholders did not look upon Nc
Cauley's dealings with a friendly eye,
and Underwood claimed that McCauley
has at times prevented the company
from carrying on its business.
Underwood alleged that as the pre-
tended manager of the concern Nc
Cauley has sold large quantities of
stock and has represented to the pur-
chasers that the money would be spent
in the establishment of plant.
The Lemola Soap company is the
plaintiff in a suit for 100000 damages
for the infringement of a patent right
against the Eureka Soap company,
and the case is at present pending be-
fore the courts of Ohio.
The petitioner told the court that
he, together with other stockholders,
was willing to liquidate the debts of
the concern, and that it was for this
purpose that the petition was filed.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-03-18
SAYS GAS LAW
WILL HOLD GOOD
CITY ATTORNEY COMMENTS
ON NEW MEASURE
Provisions Of the Ordinances Relat-
ina to Punishment Of Offend
ers ls Explained
Clearly

THE public utility ordinance passed
by the council last Monday is strictly
under the charter and was drawn af-
ter a careful and prolonged study of
the subject, and don't believe the
courts can touch 1t should they be
called upon to pass upon the measure"
said City Attorney Mathews yester-
day, and continued:
THE city does not possess absolute
power in fixing rates at which public
utilities shall be sold, and a separate
ordinance must be drawn for fixing
the rates; this should not in any case
be put into the original ordinance for
the governing of the monopolies which
handle these public utilities. Should
the city council or the citizens of Los
Angeles by invoking the initiative and
referendum pass an ordinance arbi-
trarily fixing the prices of such COM
modities, the companies dealing in
them would Immediately carry the case
into the courts, and there is no doubt
but that such an ordinance would be
declared unconstitutional.
I'm cases of this kind where public
sentiment on the subject is strong, the
various companies will be careful not
to incur the displeasure of the citizens
with an ordinance of this kind being
enforced. Should complaints come in
from one resident, or a whole COM
munity in regard to the charges of the
companies. and the city meter inspec-
tor should find that the meters installed
in the homes of the complainants were
working overtime, as it were, then the
gas company would be forced to make
right the overcharges and correct the
meters, or violate the section of the
ordinance making 1t a misdemeanor
for a company or any of its agents
to collect for more gas or electricity
than has actually been delivered, and
this violation is punishable with a fine
not to exceed $500 or 100 days in the
city Jail.
ut is not the policy of the criminal
law to punish man for unknowingly
committing such an offense and an
ordinance which attempted to punish
persons or firms for violation which
was not intentional and committed
without their knowledge will not stand.
A meter, like any other piece of
machinery, is likely to get out of order
and go wrong, and the company can
not be punished for the breaking of a
meter unless they refuse to rectify the
mistake
No action has as yet been taken on
the subject by the mayor, but it is
considered certain by men close to
him officially that he will sign the
measure. He is of the opinion that it
would be improved if the date set for
fixing the rates were set in the near
future, but 1t is said he realizes that
this can be handled by a supplement
tary ordinance as suggested by The
Herald if the council is willing to take
action on the question.
The Good Government league at its
meeting yesterday passed resolutions
of endorsement for the ordinance, but
requested Mayor McAleer to have the
date for fixiNG rates changed from
July. 1906, to the same time 1905, either
by the council reconsidering the ques-
tion or by supplementary ordinance.
