LOS ANGELES

around here are filled with happy,
smiling Chinese men and women, old
and young, who in clumsy carts, loaded
with their household goods are pro-
ceeding in long lines back to their old
homes.
The Chinese greet the Russian SOL
diers with the one word Peace" which
is repeated over and over again.
Many of their homes have been de-
vastated, but Notwithstanding this they
express their joy in getting back into
peaceful and Industrial occupations
Furthermore the game of neutrality
to each side which the Chinese have
been Obliged to play for so many
months has ben hard one and peace
has brought relief from this strain.
1t is no exaggeration to say that the
Chinese are now the happiest people in
Manchuria.
1t is reported here that the Japanese
have disbanded the Chinese bandit Or
ganizations with which they operated
during the war.

occasion of the recent visit to Oyster

consulting engineers of the isthmian
canal the president addressed to them
few remarks which will be printed

the canal, so that he might have ample
time for studying the report before
sending it to congress.
He did not express himself in favor
of either the lock canal or a sea level
canal, and refrained from any techni-
cal observations, but urged the rlem-
bers to state their opinion without the
slightest hesitation and 20 send him
reports not as he would like to get
them, but as he ought to get them.

CAPSIzED VESSEL THOUGHT
TO BE SCHOONER PEARL
One of Bodies Identified as Man Who
Shipped on the
Craft
Nv Associatad Press.

By Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 13.-The
three-masted vessel which is reported
bottom up on the beach of the Alaskan
coast is believed to be the schooner
Pearl, which sailed from here De-
cember A. 1904, and from which no
word has ever been heard. The identi-
iication of one of the bodies which
came ashore near the wreck as that
of George Fermerling, who shipped on
the vessel as station cook, satisfies
the Alaskan Goldfish company, which
owned the vessel that it is no other
than the schooner Pearl.
Advices from Seattle stated that the
vessel came ashore at Yakatago but it
was probably meant for Yakutat bay
In southeas stern Alaska. 1t was stated
that a bill of goods made out in the
name of the schooner Prosper was
found, and it gave the impression that
the Prosper had met misfortune. This.
however, cannot be, as the three
masted Prosper, operated by the Alas
kan Packers association, is now laid up
in Oakland creek. There is another
schooner named Prosper, but she is
four-masted vessel now out thirteen
days from San Pedro for Willapa har-
Dor.
If it is the Pearl thirty-four men
were drowned.

BunkerS told practically everything
he would be allowed to tell in a court
of law, under objection from the other
side. He affirmed that the plan of the
grating campaign had been outlined
upon organization, when four of the
seven members of the committee met
and determined that the rough min
utes, kept by Eli Wright, should be
subject to any change proposed by any
Of the four. He told of the subpoenas
which he, as chairman, was to issue
and sign without knowing their con-
tents.
He told of the remark made by Jo-
seph S. Jordan, who affirmed that he
knew where some money might be OBJ
tanned for protection of building and
loan associations and he detailed the
several meetings in San Francisco,
whittier he and Jordan had gone to get
in communication with the agents and
managers of the companies desiring
protection.
He told also of receiving the money
stating that Jordan had dropped his
roll of $3.50 in his pocket as he stood in
the street, just as Jordan said he did,
and had said that Emmons received his
share but two minutes before. Lastly
he told of the terror and fright that
followed the expose in the senate; of
hasty conference held in Emmons' room
over the disposal of the marked bills
and of the suggestions that were made
to clear themselves of guilt before the
tribunal in which they that morning
had been arraigned.
This was as far as the confession
went up to the moment of adjourn
ment this afternoon, but included,
among numerous details unchronicled
in this summary, unexpected refer
ences to three men whose connection
With the case have never been more
than suspected. Bunkers affirmed that
William H. Hanlon of this city was
aTreed upon by the four accused sena-
tors as the most trustworthy custodian
of the marked bills, possession of which
by them meant disgrace. He also al
firmed that Attorney James L. Cope
land had been mentioned as the person
who was to give the bills into Han
Ions keeping and he added, just be-
fore adjournment, that Arthur Lee, a
negro porter of the senate, was the
man who actually made the delivery of

which related simply to organization
of the committee on commissions and
retrenchments, Grove l.. Johnson, OF
counsel for the defense, interposed OBJ
jections which were argued with all
the force at his command.
1t was when District Attorney Sey-
mour asked for an account of the pro-
ceedings at the first meeting of the

people i'm the courtroom a realization OF
what was really impending. Almost be-
fore they knew it Bunkers had plunged
over the line that has marked his
former denial of crime with which he
was charged and was detailing the plan
of campaign which he says was out
lined at the meeting whereby the
building and loan associations of the
state were to be held up and COM
PEELED to pay for protection.
All through the afternoon the narra-
tive proceeded, with Mr.. Johnson OBJ
iecting to every question and Judge
Hart overruling time after time.
Bunkers seemed confident under the
guidance of the district attorney and
made fairly good witness-much bet
ter than he did when placed on the
stand in his own behalf. His voice
was scarcely audible in some parts of
the courtroom, but every neck was
craned forward to hear what he said,
and at times the silence was broken
only by his monotonous utterances.
