FACE FAMINE
SPECIAL p1spArcH TO THE CALL.

TACOMA, Dec. PA special from
Valdez says that sixty people are now
tied up at Catalla awaiting an oppor-
tunity to get to civilization. For
several weeks no boats could stop at
that port on account of rough weather
and the exposed position of the harbor.
The Northwestern went into Catalla
on her last trip up, but could not make
a landing. The people of the camp,
rendered desperate by shortage of
provisions and getting no word from
the outside, hired two men to make an
attempt to reach the steamer in small
boat to secure the mail. Both men
were drowned, and since that time
there has been no communication with
the outside.
The Deyo survey party, which was
working along Copper River this sum-
mer. is at Catalla awaiting an oppor-
tunity to get to Valdez, where most
of the men live.
George Baldwin. an engineer who
went north on the Pennsylvania to do
some work in the coal fields near Ber-
ing Lake, is now at Valdez and prob
ably will be unable to reach his desti-
nation before spring.

ers are asking SIG a cord for wood.

OFFICIALS HONEST,
SAYS HAYES
SPECIAL DIsPATcH TO THE CALL.

SAN JOSE, Dec. 22-The San Jose
Mercury printed a signed statement
from ]. o. Hayes today, in which the
capitalist and politician declares his
confidence in the city's administration
and repudiates charges of graft. In
the statement Mr. Hayes says:
Shortly before the last election a
resident of San Jose stated to me that
he had reason to believe that graft was
being worked in the city. and it was
claimed that certain officials were in
volved in it. The statement was suf-
ficiently specific to give a basis for
investigation, and as / am now vio-
lently opposed to graft and dishonesty
in any form, especially if practiced by
public officials, as / have ever been, 1
determined to cause a full investiga-
ton of the matter to be made. 7
therefore employed detectives in no
way connected with the city or county
administration, and directed them to
make a careful and searching investi-
cation of the statement made to me.
Reports have been made to me from
time to time as the work has pro-
gressed, and within a few days I have
received a final and detailed report in
writing Of the work done. In this
report the detective tells me that while
he has run down many rumors, he has
not been able to obtain any evidence
whatever of any graft or dishonest
conduct on the part of any city official,
and he is convinced that no such thing
exists in the city.
