SCARED TO DEATH.
Practical Joke Results in Death u !
Miner.


According to an account circnlate1
here yesterday from virsinia City.
Michael OLeary, VINO died last Sun,
day night IN that city. came to nis
death through circumstances most Pc
cultar. says the Journal.
/ He was 1T work in the Overman
mine at Gold Hin Saturday night
when he was alarmed by four flashes
of the electric light. That Is . sig
nal for flre and O14eary made a run
for the shaft. 1t was 1900 feet away
and O'Leary was 81 years old. When
he reached the cage he fell on Il.
When he reached the collar OF the
shaft he was nearly dead.
The employees OF the mine did not
know the cruel joke that had been
played on the old man and tenderly
lifted the lifeless form from the cage
and had it conveyed to the home. with
the report as written in local papers,
he died Of heart failure"
1t did not develop what the real
trouble was until later. and strenuous
efforts we're made to hush the story.
But the truth came out that some
one whose idea Of joke is equal to
murder sprung the four flashes, which
means fire. according to the statement
Of O'Leary made on his death bel.
There is nothing more horrible than
a fire 1900 feet under ground and IN
the darkness of the mine that sub
tereannean fire conjured up by some
fool joker-who, if he has sense, viii
never forgive himself-old man
OLeary met death by over exerting
himself in an effort to reach the shaft
and the cage. which later would car
ry him to safety. The cage really car
ried him-dead.
Another fact which the joker should
take to bed with him and wake III
in. the morning with is this: "OLeary
leaves a widow and eight children.
The statement made by the dyins
man on his death bed is strenuously
denied in Virginia City, but the words
of a ying man are generally believed

SANTA BARBARA, June 15.-The
Southern Pacific company is ballasting
it's new tracks through this city with
rich gold ore. The directors of this
big corporation are probably not aware
Of the wealth that is being dumped off
it's cars and used as a filing in be-
tween the ties and on both sides Of
the tracks.
For several months the Southern Pa
cifc has had an immense steam shovel
atwork cutting down hill near Rim
con, about twenty miles south of this
city. The dirt is loaded on to fiat cars
and hauled into this city. Three and
four train loads are brought in daily
and unloaded by means of a large
plow, which is pulled from one end of
the train to the other by an engine.
1t Is then leveled off by the use Of a
farge spreader that Is pushed over the
ground by another engine, and then
teams and scrapers complete the work.
Thousands of tons of dirt have been
brought into the city by this means.
During the last few days number
of miners have been seen walking
leisurely over the railroad dumps and
occasionally picking up loose stones.
but no one suspected that they were

1t is not known whether any large

A duel is an immediate prospect.
De Bearn was until late an attache at

Miss Morton Of New York, declared to-
night he was the only Frenchman living
who had a right to the title of Prince
de Chalais, and that he would defend
the right with the sword. De Saigau
asserts the alleged Prince De Bearn ct
Chalais possesses no title and has no

WASHINGTON, June 15.--Amerlca's
national capital has been selected as
the seat of negotiations between the
plenipotentlaries of Russia and Japan
for a treaty of peace
Official announcement of the selec-
ton Of Washington was made by Sec
1923 p. m. today. 1t was in typewriter
form and read as follows
when the two governments were
unable to agree upon either Chefoo or
Paris, the president suggested The
Hague, but both governments have
now requested that Washington be
chosen as the place of meeting and the
president has accordingly formally
notified both governments that Wash
ington will be selected"
After the acceptance by Russia and
japan of President Roosevelts propo-
sition that they consent to conside-.
the question of peace, Russia indicated
Paris as the most desirable place for
the meeting to negotiate treaty and
Japan Indicated Chefoo. There the
subject rested for forty-eight hours.
Finally Japan declined to consider
Paris for obvious reasons and Russia
objected to the holding of the confer
ence in any Oriental city. Washing
which the belligerents could meet on
common ground, undisturbed by either
political or personal influence.
AS a means of facilitating the nego-
tiations the president suggested that
the conference be held at The Hague.
Object to European Capital
Further consideration of the SUBJ
ject developed unalterable objection
on the part of Japan to any European
capital as seat for the conference.
She objected particularly to The
Hague, believing it was too far within
the sphere of Russian influence, and
for similar reason she declined TO
consider Geneva.
Until today Japan's irreconcilabIe op-
position to the selection of any Euro
pean capital was not known definitely.
At conference which Minister TAX
ahira then had with President Roose-
welt he conveyed to the president the
japanese governments final refusal to
consent to the holding of the confer
ence in Europe.
Minister Takahira reached the White
house at 1045 a. m. and was ushered at
once into President Roosevelts private
office. They remained in conference for
an hour and twenty-five minutes. The
unusual length of the interview, held
at a time when scores of people, many
of them having previous engagements
with the president, were awaiting an
opportunity to see Mr.. Roosevelt, indi-
Gated clearly that it was of notable

TAFT NOT AFTER
THE PRESIDENCY
WANTS TO BE CHIEF JUSTICE
OF SUPREME COURT
FORAKER COMING CANDIDATE
VIII Be Administrator Spokesman
on Floor Of Senate and Have
Support Of Present eecre-
tary Of War

Special to The Herald.
WASHINGTON, June 15.-Secretary
of War Taft will not be a candidate
for the presidency. This has been
settled within the last three days.
Judge Taft desires to succeed Justice
Fuller of the supreme bench. He
would rather be chief justice of the
supreme court of the United States
for life than be the president for four
years.
Although he declined to resign be-
cause of the age limit, Justice Fuller
will be given an opportunity to ac-
cept a position on the International
court of arbitration as soon as Ger
many and Japan agree to terms which
have already been accepted by France,
England and the United States. This
court will have it's judicial seat at
The Hague, but will hold it's sessions
in the important capitals of the world
when necessary.
From present appearances 1t seems
Judge Taft and Senator Foraker of
Ohio have political understanding.
Ohio will support Foraker for the
presidency; all who support Foraker
will be for Taft for chief justice and
Foraker will be the spokesman of the
administration on the floor of the SEN
ate.
AS soon as Japan is at peace, she
will name her member Of the inter-
national arbitration court of the world.
Germany will follow. Justice Fuller
will then be appointed and will give
way to Judge Taft. This is expected
to occur by December 1.

WAR ON
STREET RAILWAYS
MAYOR AFTER THE FREIGHT
CARRYING COMPANIES
WARRANTS ISSUED BY COURT
General Manager, Superintendent and
One Motorman of Los Angeles
lnterurban Charged With OBJ
structIng Thoroughfares

Mayor McAleer has fired the first gun
in his campaign against the carrying of
freight by the street railways.
Warrants were issued yesterday for
the arrest of General Manager A. B.
SCHNEIDER, Superintendent S. B. Nc
Lenegan and Motorman H. A. Tour
vile of the Los Angeles interurban.
In his fight against the railways the
mayor has enlisted the aid of City
Attorney Mathews and Prosecuting At
torney Beebe, who were responsible for
the measures adopted yesterday to
test the right of the corporations in
operating freight cars through the
streets of Los Angeles over tracks for
which they hold franchises.
Charge Public Nuisance
The complaints against Messrs
SCHNEIDER McLenegan and Tourville
charge that they have created a nui-
sance by running freight cars through
the city's streets without having IL
cense so to do.
City Attorney Mathews has made an
exhaustive study of the franchise laws
of the municipality and state, and ex-
presses the opinion that If the question
comes to a head, which now seems
likely, the railways will lose.
flA
ordinance drawn and sent it to the
council with the recommendation that
it be adopted. The ordinance did not
look good TO the councilmen and they
sent it back to the mayor with the OBJ
servation that in their opinion there
was law enough on the subject and
that the best thing he could do was to
go ahead and enforce existing laws.
Business Mems Petition
Subsequent to this a petition was
presented to the council bearing the
signatures of practically every firm OF
corporation doing business in Los An
geles, asking that the street railways
be not enjoined from the carrying OF
freight. 1T was argued IA this petition
of the business men that the carrying
of light freight and express by the
street car companies is great benefit
to the business interests Of Los An
geles, and that to force them to stop
such transportation would mean a SER
ious loss to many of the business in
terests of the city.
The complaint filed yesterday was
sworn to by officer r. C. King. who
took his stand on Third street yester-
day morning and says he observed the
speeding freight car, laden with berries,
as 1t passed him, changing a bell as
noisily and with as much assumed right
as an ordinary passenger car. The Of
fieer reported the case to headquarters
and the warrants were issued.
There is at present no city ordinance
covering the operation of freight cars
within the city limits. but the state
code declares any unlawful obstruction
of streets is a public nuisance, and the
mayor and city attorney hold the case
In question comes under this statute.
