WAS TERROR OF SOUTHWEST
San Bernardino Man Meets and Shakes
Hands With "Black Jack"
Whom He Hunted for
Weeks

Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 15.-Ben
Grant of this city had strange ex-
perience yesterday when he met on the
street and shook hands with a man
who, years ago, at Camp Verde, Ari-
zona, held him up at the point of a
pistol, and who in turn Grant hunted
for weeks through the wilds, deter
mined to have his life.
This man Is known only as "Black
Jack" and for many years he was a
terror to the southwest. He is now
dying with consumption, spending his
time travelling about in the hope of pro-
longing his days. Since the day Of the
Camp Verde affair "Black Jack" has
paid the penalty of his crime in prison.
"Black Jacks" real name has never
been divulged. Fifteen years ago a
man supposed to have been he was
hanged in Texas on a charge of muir
der. He took part in many Of the no
table robberies and holdups of the
earlier days.
The bitterness Of former days is now
forgotten, and Grant is doing all he
can for his old time enemy to make his
latter days easier

YELLOW FEVER
IN CINCINNATI
FIVE CASES FOUND AMONG
THE REFUGEES
MANY REACH CITY PENNILESS
Victims Isolated and Arrangements
Made for Their Care-The
Disease Said to Be In
Mild Form
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CINCINNATI, Sept. 15.-At least five
persons suspected of having yellow
fever arrived here over the Queen
& Crescent line early today and
are held in quarantine. The train
brought 200 refugees from Lake Provi-
dence, La, and Tallulah, La, who were
fleeing from the yellow fever.
DR.. Clark w. Davis, health officer of
this city, being notified by General
Passenger Agent Emerson that he was
bringing about 200 people in special
from the south, sent DIR. B. F. Lyle and
an assistant to board the train at Lex
ington and examine the people. When
the train reached Lexington several
persons who were sick attempted to
escape, but were caught by the police
and forced back onto the train. They
were taken to branch hospital on
their arrival here.
All the other passengers of the train
were allowed to go to their destinations
but the names and addresses Of all were
taken and they can be traced by the
authorities If needed.
Reports that large number of these
were also sick were investigated by
physicians during the day.
Fifty of the party of 200 came to this
city absolutely penniless, though each
carried a quantity of hand baggage.
Congressman R. e. Randsdale of Lake
Providence, La, was on the train and
he and his family rendered every as
sistance TO the stranded group.
At Tallulah, La, seventy-five persons
boarded the train, but they did not get
on at the main station. Knowing they
would have difficulty in getting out OF
town, which is in the heart of the
fever district, they walked out a mile
and a half and the train stopped for
them.
Later in the day, after the physicians
had been able to make a more thorough
investigation, the five suspected cases
were declared to be genuine yellow
fever and were isolated and arrange
ments made for proper care.
"The five refugees who were taken
to the branch hospital have developed
unmistakable symptoms of yellow
fever" said Health officer Davis to-
night.
1.-THE cases, however, are in the mild
est form. No one in Cincinnati need
be alarmed by the presence Of these
cases of yellow fever"

BOARD OF FOREIGN MISSIONS
SHELVES TOPIC
GLADDEN. OBJECTS EARNESTLY
Debate Follows Introduction of Reso-
luton Condemning Solicitation of
Donations From Persons Re-
puted Dishonesty Rich
BY Associated Press.


SEATTLE, Sept. 15.-By vote of 46
to 10 the American board of commits
sioners for foreign missions today went
on record as being opposed to further
discussion of tainted money" in any
of it's phases. This vote was not taken,
threshed out in all it's phases, and the
leading Congregationalists of America
had voiced their sentiments on the sub
ject.
DIR. Washington GLADDEN., the leader
Of the minority, precipitated the dis
cussion by the introduction of reso-
luton to the effect that the officers
Of the board should neither invite nor
solicit donations to it's funds from per-
sons whose gains are generally believed
to have been made by methods "mor-
ally indefensible or socially injurious"
Mr.. David Fales of Illinois immed-
lately offered a sub-resolution calcu-
lated to uphold the prudential COM
such gifts, and both were referred to a
special committee. This committees re-
port was made a special order of busi-
ness at the afternoon session.
Two reports were submitted, one
from the majority. signed by five mem
bers, and the other a minority report,
containing the signatures of DR.. Glad
den and DIR. Moxom, two of the orig
inaI protestants.
Immediately after the reading of the
report DR.. GLADDEN. moved the adoption
of the minority report, speaking to the
motion, reviewed the question, "Shall
ill-gotten gains be sought for Christian
purposes?"
After the vote was taken that finally
disposed of the matter and even while
the ten who voted against the motion
to table the resolution were standing,
applause broke out and DR.. GLADDEN.,
who left the platform at the close of
the debate, was overwhelmed with con-
gratulations on his address and the
position taken by him. He held an in
formal reception in one of the COM
mittee rooms, and for a few minutes
the routine of the afternoon session
was interrupted.

PERKINS ADMITS $4,000
WAS GIVEN REPUBLICANS
TEsTIFIEs IN INSURANCE INVESTIGATION
Witness Protests Against Questions Regarding His Connection
With New York Life and j. p Morgan & Co.
Says He Was Guided by Duty

NEW YORK, Sept 15.-George w.
Perkins, member of the firm Of ]. P.
Morgan & Co., and first vice president
of the New York Life Insurance COM
pany, was the star witness at today's
session of the special legislative COM
mittee probing the insurance compa-
MES methods, and his testimony was
replete with revelations in the develop
ment of finance as applied by insur-
ance companies.
The climax of the day came when
Mr.. Perkins was asked concerning an
entry of $48,702 in ledger, marked
Ordered paid by the president" The
check was made out payable to j. P.
Morgan & Co., and Mr.. Perkins frank
ly stated 1t was contributed to the ma
tional Republican campaign committee
and had been paid to Cornelius N.
Bliss. Mr.. Perkins said:
"This payment was made after very
careful deliberations. 1t must not be
considered an ordinary contribution to
the campaign fund. 1t was paid be-
cause we felt that the assets of the
New York Life Insurance company
would be jeopardized by a Democratic
success"
Mr.. Perkins said contributions were
also made in 1900 and 1906.
This bomb caused murmur of con-
versation about the room, which had
become packed with spectators. Stand
one bent forward to catch the testi-
mony.
Pursuing the check inquiry further
Mr.. Hughes brought out that this ex-
penditure was never brought to the
attention of the finance committee, the
witness terming it purely executive
action" 1t was charged against cash
on the books of the Hanover bank
office or financial department.
Perkins Offers Explanation
Mr.. Perkins here interposed:
'I would like to make statement.
The fact that the check is drawn to
J. P. Morgan & Co. has no significance.
I paid out the money, and it was merely
because Of a convenience Of repayment
that the check was made payable tc
j. P. Morgan 6, Co."
"What other contributions to politica,
funds have been made by the New
York Life?"
None to my knowledge"

GEORGE GOULD
IN GREAT FIGHT
POWERFUL FINANClERS ARE
AGAINST HIM
WABASH ROAD THE PRIZE
Rockefeller, Hartman and cassatt
Battling With Him for Control
of the Missouri Pacific
System
WABASH ROAD THE PRIZE

Special to The Herald
NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-George ].
Gould is in the biggest fight of his
inveterate enemy John D. Rockefeller.
e. H. Hartman, also an active foe Of
Gould, and A. J. Cassatt, who likes
him least of all, are combined against
him. Russell Sage has come out from
his retirement and is helping to stand
off the assailants.
The rich prize for which all these are
battling is the Wabash railroad and
the entire Missouri Pacific systm.
The warfare has been going on under
cover for a year, but has now been
brought into the open by Joseph Ram
say jr., president of the Wabash, whom
Gould wanted to oust and who is now
striving to oust Gould from the prop
erty in which the latter holds nearly
40 per cent of the stock. Gould's ambi-
ton to extend his railroad lines to the
Atlantic and to the Pacific in order to
control an ocean-to-ocean route, have
given his adversaries their opportun-
ity. He is charged with breaking faith
in making this extension.
Gould has never yet met defeat in a
financial warfare and his friends say
he will even now be able to stand off
his foes, since the great fortune of Sage
has come to his relief
The original quarrel between Ramsay
and Gould was over the difference of
opinion in regard to debenture secur-
tiles of the road. Ramsay wanted to
pay these bondholders two per cent
this year, four per cent next and more
the following. Gould objected. These
bonds and the Missouri Pacific stock
are the specific prizes in the battle now
under way, for there is enough stock
of the underlying companies in the
Missouri Pacific treasury and in
Rockefeller's hands to control all the
roads in the interest of those who cap
ture the Missouri Pacific.

Senator Armstrong here queried
about the $4s. 900 check to the campaign
fund. He asked:
Were you in a position to know Of
other campaign contributions"
II don't know; that Is question that
paign contributions I believe that the
fullest publicity should be attached
They ought to be publicly known, and
there ought to be law passed to that
effect"
Assemblyman Rogers: HAS there
been any case in which you have acted
for both the New York Life and j. P.
Morgan & Co. at the same timer"
II recall no other transaction"
Senator Armstrong: Now, in the
transaction, when did Mr.. Perkins, an
officer of the New York Life, give away
to Mr.. Perkins, an officer Of j. P. Nor
GAM"
II don't understand your point"
"Well, you, as an officer of the New
York Life issue one order, and Perkins,
as an officer of ]. P. Morgan &
Co.. receive it. When were you act
ing for the New York Life?"
"All the time"
when were you acting for ]. P.
Morgan & Coz"
"That depends on the occasion"
Mr.. Perkins Protests
"well, If you are acting for the New
York Life, there is not much left for
] P. Morgan & Co.," remarked Senator
Armstrong.
Mr.. Perkins then burst into a pro-
testation.
"Mr. Chairman, I act as I think right.
do not think whether I am acting for
the New York Life or J. P. Morgan &
Co.. follow my conscience and do what
L think is right"
The senator was unmoved and asked:
"Blt where did your loyalty to one or
other end?"
Asse,nblyman Rogers broke in and
said:
'"The senator is thinking of the scrip
ture, A man cannot serve two mas
ters.'"
Mr.. Perkins replied:
"My loyalty lies where my duty is"

mittee TO return to their homes. There
