CELEBRATES HIS ESCAPE
FROM ANDERSONVILLE
Special to The Herald.

CpcCldl " Ic
LONG BEACH, July Forty three
years ago today at II o'clock in the
morning Ralph o. Bates, now a real
estate man with offices at Second
street and American avenue, was shot
twice while hanging by the thumbs
in Andersonville prison.
He survived the wounds, which We're
in his hip and thigh, and later escaped
from the prison with Dick King, a
comrade, through the historic tunnel,
which was built after more than fifty
days of hard labor.
On March 2S, 1854 Bates and King
reached the Union lines at Bridge
port, Ala, and We're sent at once by
Gen. Sherman to Washington, where
President Lincoln took personal care
of them for twelve days. The day be-
fore his capture Bates weighed 165
pounds. His weight the day after he
reached Washington was 59% pounds
Eighty men attempted to escape
through the tunnel, but these two We're
the only ones who succeeded, the
others being recaptured or killed by
bloodhounds.
Bates was sent to the prison Febru-
airy IL, 1868. He was strung up by
the thumbs on the order of Capt
Werz. a Confederate officer, and was
shot by Werz because he talked back
to him. Werz killed a guard who
gave Bates drink. and the prisoner
told the officer he would live to see
him hanged. This prophecy came true
few years after the close of the war,
when Werz was hanged In public In
Washington d. c., for murder. Bates
was the principal witness against him.
Bates has on exhibition in front of
his office today paintings made from
sketches OF the prison drawn by a
rebel guard, and also paintings which

PASADENA, July Mrs. Charles NJ.
Coleman was severely burned, Fireman
d. S. Bassett painfully injured and the
hre apartment house at 104 South Los
Robles avenue practically destroyed as
the result of bad fire this forenoon,
caused in some way by an explosion of
gasoline. 1t appears that Mrs. Cole
man. who with her husband occupy an
apartment in this building, was in the
screen porch belonging to their apart
ment cleaning pair of gloves with
gasoline. Ten feet away burned a gas
stove. Suddenly Mrs. Coleman's maid.
Mrs. Murphy, noticed that Mrs. Cole
mans light kimono was on fire and
called to her. Mrs. Coleman endeavored
10 eXtinguish the flames, finally rush
ing into the yard and rolling on the
ground But there was still some fire
about her clothing and she ran into a
neighbor's house for help. This neigh
Dor promptly tore away the garments
still burning, helped the woman to a
couch and telephoned for a doctor
In the meantime the fire blazed brisk
ly in the apartment house. Another
neighbor saw the increasing volume of
smoke and turned in a fire alarm. The
Dayton street fire company responded
promptly, only TO be informed by soma
was about out and that they need NOT
use any water The firemen quietly in
vestigated, with the result that thev
discovered the flames briskly eating
their uninterrupted way toward the
attic of the building. All haste was
made to get the hose attached and the
several streams of water playing upon
the fire. But valuable time had been
lost, and even with the assistance of
the villa street fire company 1t was
over an hour before the fire was
checked. and by that time the building
was almost destroyed and the fashion,
able neighborhood In which the build
ing Is located given one Of the worst
frights the residents have yet known.
While working on the roof Fireman
I,assett seized hold Of live electric

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
SAN PEDRO, July 2.-The warm
weather of yesterday and today caused
many pleasure seekers to rush TO Cata-
lima this morning. The Cabrillo was
crowded to it's guards. Among those
going over was company of young
men from the Y. NJ C. A. of Los An
geles under command of Capt. Oscar
B. Smith. The boys are known as
Company B of the Triangle code. They
We're equipped with blankets, cook
ing utensils and all things necessary

Strike Is Unchanged
The situation of the strike of sailors
of steam schoQners remains practically
unchanged at this place There are
twenty-five sailing vessels i'm the har-
bor and all have a good-sized force
of men busily engaged in discharging
their cargoes. Few steam schooners
come into this harbor or anywhere else
in this part of the state, because they
are tied up at San Francisco and other
ports of the north. The statements
often made that the steam vessels are
going to some other port than this be-
cause the 'longshoremen will not
handle the cargoes Is practically with
Oub pCNduht lIlt steamers
are not running to any place except
those where union crews are working
at the increased wages. Occasionally
one slips away from San Francisco
with a non-union crew.
The report that the crews of the
sailing vessels are going to strike in
sympathy with those of the steamers
is without foundation, 1t Is said. The
men say they have no intention of 1t,
and the owners of the sailing vessels
are almost unanimous in the idea that
as long as they can keep their ships
going they will, as now is the time
of their richest harvest The only
steam schooner to come i'm here lately
was the Alcatraz, which carries a
union crew and has granted the raise
I'm wages.
Many schooners are ON the way here
now with lumber The weather for
sailing is almost perfect this time Of
the year and the vessels make excellent
time both going and coming.

but are very painful.
1t is reported this evening that Mrs.
Coleman's injuries are not serious. She
has many severe burns about the lower
limbs. Mrs. Murphy, the maid, was
severely burned about the hands
The building was the property Of
Mrs. P. P. Senour of 116 South Los
Robles avenue, and she estimates her
loss at about $4,000, fully insured with
policies in the Home Insurance COM
pany of New York. The house itself
she values at $4,000. The contents were
covered by insurance in the same COM
pany and were practically all saved.
When the crowd realized that the build
ing was almost certain to go they made
an organized attack upon the furniture,
under the direction of the local police,
and carried most of it to places of
safety.
Chief Clifford of the local fire depaIt-
ment was out of the city today on bust
ness and some delay and Intellectual
work of the department is laid to this
fact. But proper lesson from the fire
Is taken to be that prompt steps must
be taken to improve the fire equipment
in every detail. The need of the $75 900
bond issue recently voted by the people
and now tied up in the Edison Electric
ccmpany's Injunction suit is more than
ever apparent. d..

Speculation Continued to Make Prog
 ress, Though at Diminished Rate.
 New York, Jan. 16.-The speculation
 continued to make progress to-day,
 though at a somewhat diminished rate.
 The volume of dealings contracted from
 the recently prevailing average and the movement of prices wac variable and irregular. Large profit-taking was still in evidence and this at times drove prices backwards. But the market was at no time without points of strength, and some notable recoveries were made from declines forced by the realizing | process. This was regarded as a dem- | onstration of the absorptive power of the market and encouraged the contin- l uance of speculative ventures for fur l ther rise in prices. The demand was not steadily manifest and during the periods of Sharpest reaction the buying became perceptibly languid and indif- l ferent
 The reports current of the enormous individual holdings in various stocks, notably in Union Pacific, which were being liquidated had the. effect of arous- ing distrust over the market attitude
 of those vested with inside information regarding the properties whose shares
 make up the stock market The real izing in Union Pacific was supplement- ed in it's influence on sentiment by the
 persistent pressure on AmaIgamated Copper A near approach of the divi- | dend meeting for this stock gave rise to much surmise and uncertainty. The announcement of reduction in the price of copper on the metal exchange was an additional influence on Amalga- mated Copper The London market for | copper also showed a notable spread in the discount for futures as compared with the price of spot copper. The re- covery in these two prominent market | leaders was of much influence in reas- suring speculative sentiment. A good effect was produced also by the ad-
 vances shown in some of the railroad stocks of the substantial grade. The | Pennsylvania group, the Gould group
 and the southern group were examples | of this class
 There was little news to epxlain the days various movements. The tight
 ening of the call money market yester- day afternoon found explanation in to- days enormous clearings of this year. | The statement of the eQuntry's foreign trade for December shows an excess in value of exports over imports of $9S | 554,000, more than doubling the trade | balance in our favor of the preceding December. The vast resources thus l placed at the command of the foreign | exchange market largely explains the | facility with which the enormous de-
 mand has been met for remittances to
 cover the maturing loans from foreign

Attorney c. J. Danaher, owner of the New Haven baseball franchise, was asked last night if he had disposed of the Elm City franchise as reported. He replied; No I haven't just yet, but expect that the deal will be closed in a day or so.'
 He admitted that he had been in con- ference with Harry Durant of Water bury one of the owners of the Water bury team, and that Mir. Durant rep resented some New Haven capital, just looking for such an investment as a baseball team, also that Billy Lush would in all probability be given charge of the team.
 It is known that Danaher wants $10,- OOO for his baseball holdings in New Haven, and by coming down to $6,0O( he would in all likelihood be able tc sell out in New Haven.
