KOMURA BELIEVED TO
HAVE TYPHOID FEVER
Physicians Report His Condition as
Satisfactory, but Return to Japan
Is Indefinitely Postponed

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Sept, 13.-Baron Ko-
mura, the Japanese peace envoy, who
was reported today to be suffering
from typhoid fever. although the con-
sulting physicians are not a unit on
this point, is said ito be in a satisfac-
tory condition. Baron Komura Is at
the Waldorf-Astoria hotel and his re-
turn to Japan has been indefinitely
postponed, although most of the mem
bers of his suite will start for home
tomorrow, the date originally planned
for the departure of the mission.
Many messages of inquiry as to
Baron Komura's condition, including
one from President Roosevelt, reached
the hotel today. Flowers and cards
have been left by many friends.
A cablegram was received during the
day from Baroness Komura inquiring
as to her husbands condition. The
Japanese were much pleased at the re-
ceipt of the cablegram as dispatches
had been received in this city reporting
that the baroness and her children had
been murdered.

GLOOMY DISPATCHES FROM

DR.. Nansen, the Arctic Explorer, Now
Mentioned as First Minister of
Norway to Great

STOCKHOLM MORE HOPEFUL
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
LONDON, Sept. 14.-Dispatches from
Christiania represent the situation be-
tween Norway and Sweden as serious
owing to the determined attitude of the
Swedish commissioners. Dispatches
from Stockholm, however, are less pes
simistic and express the hope that
modus vivendi will be arranged. APP
parently nothing definite will be known
until todays conference at Karlstad.
Much interest has been aroused by
the presence in London during the last
few days of Fritjof Nansen the Arctic
explorer who in February last was
considered to be likely candidate for
the premiership of Norway and who
since the dissolution of the unity has
been spoken as the first minister o.
Norway to Great Britain.
The correspondent of the Times at
Karlstad says he believes there is u
disposition on both sides to yield on
the questions of the demolition of the
Notifications and an arbitration treaty.
Sweden, he says, does not want the
historical fortresses demolished and
that if Norway is willing to demolish
the modern forts, Sweden will be ready
to conclude an arbitration treaty for
the settlement of all future differences,
but not those affecting the questions
now under discussion.
Baron Won Bildt, the minister of Swe-
den and Norway to Great Britain,
writes to the Times in confirmation Of
the statement that Sweden asks only
the demolition of the modern forts.

PITTSBURG, Sept. 13-That's

declares in all seriousness that this ex-

"And 1 want the whole word of the
qualifying adjective used in full" said
Mr.. Carnegie.
"I want no ID and dash after it;
every letter must be there"
This is how it happened:
Several years ago the steel king was
told that John McLuckie, who was bur-
CESS of Homestead during the big steel
strike of '92, was having a hard time
in striving for success in his new home
in Texas. To mutual friend Carnegie
sent word that McLuckie could have
anything he wanted.

of the offer, that's damned white of

Carnegie was then informed of the
answer and, clapping his hands, said:
"That sentiment must go on my
tomb-it will surely be my epitaph."

SACRAMENTO, Sept. 13. - Brought
from his prison cell to confront his
alleged associate in the boodling COM
bine of last winter, Harry Bunkers,
cisco, who was recently sentenced to
five years in the state prison for his
share in the transaction, today made a
complete confession on the witness
stand in Judge Hart's court room,
where the trial of E. j. Emmons, one
of the quartet first expelled from the
senate and then indicted by the grand
jury, was in progress. From the mo-
nent of his entry to the court room
until he left it, pale and perspiring,
three hours later, Bunkers was the
central figure in one of the most dra-
matte exposes In criminal trials of this
state. He left nothing untold, and
in his eagerness to unbosom himself
he forestalled the objections of the de-
fense with statements relating to the
motives and actions of the four dis
graced legislators. Much of this was
stricken from the testimony but there
was enough to indicate that District
Attorney Seymour is in possession of
the vital facts and circumstances re-
lating to the bribery scandal of last
winter.
Few of those in attendance at the
trial expected that Bunkers would be
called to the stand during the day.
1t was assured that the prosecution
would follow the order pursued in the
Bunkers trial and adduce any additional
testimony when on the point of clos
ing the case for the people. The ru-
mored confession of Bunkers, however,
had everyone OH the alert, and the
court room was crowded to the doors
when the afternoon session opened.
Bunkers Shows Great Change
To his former colleagues in the SEN
ate, to ti-e newspaper men in attend
ance at the triet and tn many of the
spectators who saw Bunkers during
the sittings of the legislature investi-
eating committee the entrance of the
former senator from the 18th district
was something in the nature of shock
In comparison with his former rotund
proportions, Bunkers is as school
boy to a grown man. His face was
drawn and pale and he seemed to have
lost several inches in height. He made
his way ehrough the crowd in the
,,,ol,a of daD,,tv sheriff and although
he was smiling upon entering he
shrank back in his chair when he en-
countered the scrutiny of many eyes
fixed on him from all parts of the ROOM
Even after he had been sworn there
were many who were slow to believe
that a full confession was forthcoming
The attorneys for the defense, how
ever, were awake to the possible con-

Misses Check

Soon after the visit Mrs. Bowen
missed a check for $780, drawn in
favor of P. A. Amick, but decided she
had given him the check and dismissed
further thought of it.
The first forged check was drawn
for 4.25; the second was for $40; the
third was for $76.50 and the fourth
was for $127. All of these checks were
payable to the order of Mrs. P. l..
Amick and purported to be signed by
Louise A. Bowen.
So clever was the forgery of Mrs.
Bowen's name that four of the checks
passed the cashier of the bank before
the forgery was detected. The missing
check, payable to P. L. Amick, was in
dorsed by that name and cashed at the
same bank.
1t is believed by the police that this
check was used as a copy and was Sc
cured by the mysterious young woman
who visited Mrs. Bowen's house to use
the telephone ten days ago.
The police say that Miss Castleman
was accused of a similar offense six
weeks ago, when she is said to have
gone to the rooms of Misses Bessie and
Leota Bond, 947 Francisco street, and
took their savings bank pass books
from dresser during their absence.
1t is said that on one book she Sc
cured $100 at the Union Bank of Saw
ings and on the other book she secured
SIS. The nolice investigated this case,
but owing to the friendship of the per-
sons concerned, the affair Is said to
have been adjusted.
When arrested last night by Detec-
tive Robards. Miss Castleman declared
she was Mrs. P. l.. Amick and the
checks which were alleged to have been
forged were given her by Mrs. Bowen.
Later she declared she knew nothing
of them.
The young woman is said to have
been a prominent worker in local
church.

BUY SAFETY FROM BANDITS
OIL Producers State They Are Forced
to Purchase Immunity


BY Associated Press.
LONDON, Sept 13.-The Petroleum
Review of the current week publishes
remarkable memorandum presented
by the Baku oil producers to the Rus
sian minister of finance, M. Kokovsoff.
1t declares that, owing to the utter
helplessness of the police, the produc-
ers are compelled to purchase safety
from the bandits living in the villages
of Balakhan, Sabontchi, Romani and
Zabral by periodical payments of large
sums of money, as otherwise the whole
of the oil field region would suffer from
their depredations. The producers pro-
pose that the inhabitants of these viii
lages, which they say are merely dens of
robbers, should be transferred else
where.
The correspondent of The Times at
Baku says that the English oil COM
panies there have been forced to
abandon work owing to threats made
by the revolutionaries.
