of a Fearful Tragedy
WOMEN AMONG VICTIMS
Lighters Are Capsized and
Occupants Are Killed or

According to advices received by the
liner Siberia the Great Northerns big
steamship Minnesota during her last visit
1 20 Nagasak was responsible for a terri

eral Of them women, lost their lives and
about three score coolies sustained more
or less serious injuries.
After leaving the drydock the Mime
sofa was moored TO one of the buoys in
/ the harbor. lighters were made fast
alongside the liner and Japanese men
and women were soon busy passing bask-
cts of coal from the lighters to the Min
nesota's bunker chutes The lighters,
! several rows deep, lined both sides of the
( big ship. and on the1ighters and on plat
forms suspended over the Minnesota s
sides hundreds of brown men and women
were soon engrossed in the sweltering
task Of coaling the liner.
When the activity was at its height the
harbor master came on board and asked

the commanders cabin.

that other buoy" was the message the

Through an oversight, it is said, the
people on the lighters were not notified
that the ship was about to move. AS the

capsized and their occupants were thrown
into the water. The current caused by
the whirling propellers dragged the

ITO Raphael's First -and thento School,

Well, it must be because we always feel like
boys, even though we're grown up, and we know
what boys feelings are.
We know that boy knows what he wants to
wear
So we buy what he wants, not whathe doesn't
want.
Your fathers used to buy their clothes here
when they were boys.
Funny as it may seem, your fathers were boys
once upon time and they had to wear clothes just
like anybody else
So they came to Raphael's, and they still come.
Chances are they'll bring you here to get you
some new clothes for next week when school opens.
Speak to them about it.
Tell them you want to look manly and decent
when you go to school. You want to feel like
gentleman, and the only way to do it is to act like
one and wear clothes like one.
We want you to feel at home here.
Don't feel that you'll be in the way. Come on
around to the store tomorrow if you can.
Look over the dandy clothes we've got for boys
of all ages and pick out what you want
Then tell your mother and father about it and
ask them to come too.
Get ready for school now and get it off your
mind
Well take care of youwell That's our business.
So come ahead
Faithfully yours

SENTENCE PASSED UPON MRS.
DELnOS FOR GRAND LARCENY
Different Courts Vary as to What
Charge Should Have Been Made
Against Her.

Mrs. Angelo Delbos, convicted of
grand larceny y a jury in Judge
DUNES court, was sentenced yesterday
to serve two years in San Quentin On
december IL, 1902, she obtained $500
from Mrs. Maria Marquet, a relative
on the representation that she could
purchase a lodging house on Howard
street for that amount. 1t was later
ascertained that she only paid 500 for
the lodging house and kept the $400.
The case was peculiar one. Mrs
Delbos was originally arrested for
felony embezzlement An application
was made for a writ of -abeas corpus
for her release on the ground that the
charge should have been grand lar
ceny. Judge Cook granted the writ and
she was discharged. She was promptly
arrested on charge of grand larceny
and was tried and convicted in Judge
DUNES court An appeal was taken
to the Supreme Court on the ground
that the charge should have been en-
bezzlement and the appeal was sus-
tanned. The District Attorney obtained
a rehearing and the Supreme Court re-
versed itself oy affirming the judg-
ment of the lower court, but granting
the defendant a new trial on other
grounds.

- Hard luck, isn't it?
We know just how you feel about it, boys
Used to be boys ourselves.
We know you'd rather take things easy-play
ball, or just Loaf or go out in the country to
grandmas and hunt eggs in the barn.
But you young fellows have got to learn.
Several years from now you'll be running this
good old place we call the United States.
And you can't run it right unless you know
how to run yourself
Andyou can't run yourself until you've learned
how.
That's what they told us when we were kids.
So we went to school,
We learned things.
If we didn't know them now we'd be unsuc-
cessful in business.
You want to remember one thing all the time.
And that is that the young fellow who learns
all he can in school is going to take things easier
when he grows up
And also that the fellow who plays hockey
now is going to pay for it later on He'll be sweep
ing the streets when he grows up-maybe. And
you'll be successful business man, perhaps.
Now, if somebody asked you which is the
most popular store with the boys of Frisco, what
would you say?
Raphaes wouldn't you2

 The principal witness against the accused was Luisa Penada, resident of the Ranchito district across the line. She told of being arrested by Symons, who claimed to be an officer, and who, she stated also threatened her with a revolver. The alleged arrest oc- cured about three weeks ago, and late tt night. More of her testi- mony may De heard in court, but cannot be read in THE OAsrs. When released she returned to her home and was later asked by an officer if she would come to court and testify against the man.
 Alfred Saxon and Earl Sparks testified that Symons had spoken to them of the occurrence and Mr. Sparks added that the accused had pointed out to him his alleged victim.
 At the conclusion of the testi- mony the district attorney asked that Symons be held for trial on charge of rape, and he was placed under bonds of $500 to be held for trial for that offense.

SANITARiuM MANAGERS DRAW FIRST
 BLOOD IN LEGAL BATTLE.
Appointment of Receiver Refused and Injunction Against Secretary
 Denied by Court

Monday at Tombstone Judge Doan refused the application of Attorney George K. French for the appointment of a receiver to take charge Of the affairs of the Inler- national Sanitarium Association. The court also denied the request of the plaintiff that an order be issued enjoining Secretary l. E. Fleischer from making further en- tries in the books of the corpora tion. The Sanitarium people were represented by Attorney Frank j.. Duffy.
 Mir. Fleischer says:
 We beat Mir. French on every point. He made sensational charges of fraud when he filed his complaint and they were published, injuring the management of the association, Dr. Chenoweth, Mr. Vasquez and myself. Now we have been vindicated He went before the court with his charges and asked for the appointment of l a receiver, and it was refused him, because there was no fraud shown. He asked that l, the secretary of 1 the association, be enjoined from making any further entries in the books of the company, and the in- junction was refused him, because he could show no reason why an injunction should be issued. \ THE OASIS published the charges of fraud against us when they were l made and all l ask now is that THE OASIS publish the fact that we have been vindicated by the re- fusal of the court to grant any ot Mir. French's requests"
 Says Mr. French: "The requests for a receiver and an injunction were refused, because court will convene here Tn about five weeks and the case will then come tc trial. The appointment of re ceiver just now would impose ar expense upon the corporation that it was not thought advisable to oc. casion. There was nothing finally settled by the ruling made in the matter Monday, as the case vii be fully tried at the October tern of court here"
 However, the appointment of 2 receiver was denied upon the show ing thus far made and the injunc tion asked for was denied.
 It gives the corporation man agers first blood" at least.

TUCSON WINS TERRITORIAL BASE
 BALL CHAMPIONSHIP
A,.ful Work of One Man Spoiis Good Game and Deprives Nogaies
 of Merited Title.

Tucson won the base ball cham pionship of Arizona Sunday, by defeating Nogales with q score of four to three, in the best ball game played in the territory this season.
 Columns might Dc written to ex- plain how, but nothing be written to alter the fact that Nogales was defeated.
 Mckelvie lost the game.
 Of that, not ont of the 300 CT 600 people who witnessed the playing have any doubt.
 Both teams played excellent ball, but in the third inning Mckelvle s awful work gave Tucson two runs at time when ten year old boy could have made double play. He followed 1t up so quickly with a second play that gave Tucson q third run instead of retiring the side, that indignation was turned to pity for him. He was sent to the field and later to the bench.
 But the damage was done. lie had not only given Tucson the game, but saved them from a clean shut out, as they made no other run during the eight innings. In the ninth, Barnett, the Nogales pitcher, who had already done more than a pitcher usually does iii nine innings, gave out. But for the extra work thrown upon him the game would have ended much quicker and pitcher would have played it out.
 When Barnett gave out there was no one to take his place. The score was three to three and after talking 1t over for minute Man, acer Noon of the Nogales team de cided to put in man who had never pitched a game before and play on till Tucson should make another run and end the game That was done and the team thai had proved it's superiority lost the championship.
 McKelyie did not return to No gales with the excursionists.
 To the credit of. the people 0 Tucson, it may be added here they did not claim that thei players had outplayed the visitors Even the Tucson Citizen, loya rooter for the Grays, said Mon day: "* * * if Doctor Nool had not erred in putting Mckelvi' on second instead of leaving hin in Nogales, Tucson would hay. had three run less * * *"

License or No License.

Bennington voters must decide to-
morrow whether to vote for license or
no license for this town the coming
year. The following from the Barre
Times covers the ground thoroughly
and applies equally we'll to Benning-
ton:
THE Times has always contended
that a license-local .option law was a
better temperance measure than the old
prohibitory law which was Ia force so
long in Vermont. The two years OF
license-local. option law In this state
has not changed its views on that
point although the law as at first
adopted contained many glaring de-
fects. Some OF these have been rem
eded in the amended law and 1t is hop
I'd will show better results In the year
to come. The essential feature OF the
law is the right given every town and
city to say annually whether intoxica-
ting liquors shall be sold within its
borders or not, and where public sem
timent is strongly against the use of
liquors as beverage a no vote is eff
fectual and to be desired. While no
license is effected in Randolph, it is,
or has been the past year, a failure in
Mortified. The conditions and the
people OF the two places make this diff
ference. II the writer was a voter in
Randolph he would vote mo- II a
voter in Northfeld he would vote
yes" When the case comes home to
Barre The Times believes that the con-
ditions existing here should be consid-
cred"
The Banner believes in temperance.
All men would be better off il intox-
icatipg liquor we're never used as a
beverage. Rum causes more sir,
crime and misery than all other things
combined. 1t is an unmitigated evil.
At the same time the battle against in
temperance is a battle OF understand
ing, education In common sense and
development OF self restraint. We are
reluctantly compelled to admit that We
do not think Bennington has progress
ed far enough to make no license here
success. On the contrary we think it
would be bowling farce, disgusting
exhibition of hypocrisy and lame NOR
ality. All things considered we be-
lieve it will be wiser for Bennington
to vote Eyes" tomorrow and keep the
liquor business where it can be watch

that the village cut down expenses the
