SKATES WERE HIS DOWNFALL
Youth Seeks to Save Time, but Sus-
tains a Broken

Winfield Hall of 6S7 Ide street clearly
demonstrated that he could not carry
two paper routes by using roller skates
when he fell and broke his left arm
yesterday at Douglas and Temple
streets.
The lad thought that he could make
use of the rollers to double his speed
and enable him to cover twice the terri
tory that he generally was able to do.
AS he neared the intersection Of the
highways he struck a brick and fell.
Young Hall was sent to the receiving
hospital where Police Surgeons Bonynge
and Quint attended him.

Admits Husband Was Killed Because

hut Declares Natives "Would
Not Understand"
Nv ssnciated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, July 16.-In the
Persian correspondence in the portlon
of the Red Book on foreign relations,
which was made public by the state
department today, is contained a
strong protest addressed by Mrs. Mary
Schauffler La Baree, formerly OF Oru-
mia Persia, to American Minister
Richmond Pearson at Teheran against
the exaction by the United States gov
ernment of an indemnity of $5OOOO Tor
the murder of her husband, Rev. Ben
jamin w. La Baree, missionary, killed
on Mount Ararat by religious fana tics.
While believing that when an Amer
lean citizen has been murdered be-
cause of the criminal laXity of a for
eign government those dependent on
him for support should be awarded
indemnity. Mrs. La Baree said: The
affair will not be understood by the
great mass of the people in this dis
trict, who would invariably know of
it, as the Persian idea of blood money
is so different from our civilized un-
derstanding of an indemnity. Thus
serious and lasting injury might be
done to the mission cause, for which
we have already sacrificed so much,
and 1 prefer to waive my rights as an
American citizen rather than to see
this cause suffer-"
In spite of her protest 100000 was
actually paid to her by Persia before
the thirty day period named in the
ultimatum of the United States had
expired. This sum was three times
greater than the maximum ever before
paid by the Persian government for
the murder of private person.

MARBLEHEAD REACHES PORT
Commander MuIIigan Reports From
La Libertad

WASHINGTON, July 16.-The navy
department was informed this after
noon by cablegram from Commander
Mull1gan of the arrival of his ship, the
Marblehead, at La Libertad, from
Panama, which port he left last Fri
DAY night. Before sailing Commander
Mull1gan was instructed by the navy
department to report to American
Minister Combs at La Libertad, which
is the port near San Salvador the
capital of Salvador.
In the absence of Mr.. Combs, who is
detained at Champerico awaiting next
Fridays steamer, Mr.. Brown, the Am
er1can secretary and charge in Saliva
DOR Will communicate with Com
mander Mulligan and that officer will
place his ship at the disposal of the
American legation, so that Mr. Brown
Will be in position to carry out the
instructions which We're cabled him
today from Washington to proffer to
the governments of Salvador and
Guatemala the use of this American
warship as a place of meeting of the
peace commissioners.
The details of the meeting will be
left to the American legation. 1t is
stated that neither Minister Merry nor
Messrs. Combs and Brown will act in
the capacity of peace commissioner
of either country; they are charged
to endeavor to bring the hostile ma
tions into friendly relations without
further loss of blood.
Will Go to San Jose
1t is believed that the Marblehead
will take the San salvadoreans at La
Libertad and then proceed to the
nearest Guatemalan port, San Jose,
where the agents of that government
will board the ship. which will then go
to sea beyond the three-vile limit,
until the conferences are over.
The important development of the
day aside from the offer of the Marble
head was an assurance to the state
department from President Cabrera
that Guatemala would refrain from
further hostilities If San Salvador
would undertake to do the same, which
news was promptly communicated to
Minister Merry at San Salvador in
order that he might transmit the pro-
position to the government at that
place.
Another important development was
that Salvador and Honduras had en-
tered into an alliance, the nature of
which is unknown, but it is thought
by officials here that the president is
to agree upon terms which shall be
proposed by the two countries to
Guatemala.
This news came to the state depart
ment from Charge Brown at Guatemala
City. Still another cablegram. this one
from Minister Merry, informed the
state department that the government
of Honduras insisted on being consid-
cred along with Salvador In the peace
negotiations with Guatemala. Alto
gether the prospect of the peaceful
termination of the present difficulty is
believed to have frightened considera-
bly, during the day.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 16.-General
r. II. Warfield the we'll known club
man and hotel proprietor, was instantly
killed shortly after o'clock this even
ing in a collision on the Mount
Tamalpais scenic railway.
The general was returning from San
Francisco, where he had been sworn
in as a police commissioner, to the
tavern of which he is proprietor.
AS there is no regular train up the
mountain at this time General Warfeld
was in the habit of going up in the
railroad automobile which is in charge
of Motorman Joe Benz.
The regular local plying between Mill
valley and King street, a distance of
about mile and a half, pulled out i'm
mediately after the arrival of the train
from San Francisco.
General Warfield stopped to talk
with a few friends before starting. 1t
was noticed that when Joe Benz touched
the throttle he pulled her wide open.
He knew he would have to hurry to
get to the switch where they would
pass the down train.
Inc autOmODlle is arranged a good
deal like a small bus with a seat in
front and two short seats in back facing
each other. In one of these latter the
general sat while Benz controlled the
machine.
Dashes Into Dark Glen
The machine dashed into a dark glen
of trees. Suddenly and without warn
ing the downcoming local shot around
| one of the Sh1rn M
The first inking of the approaching
danger came from the CLEAN cast by
the headlight of the fast approaching
engine.
Benz shut off the power, applied the
brakes. yelled to the general to jump
and then jumped himself. Whether
the approaching headlight blinded the
general or whether he moved too slowly
will never be known.
The heavy engine crashed into the
light automobile, crashing it like an
egg and burying the general under the
front of the engine, where he was
dragged for rer twenty feet before the
train could be stopped.
The general must have been killed
instantly. for upon examination his
neck was found to be broken and his
head was crushed in the middle as
though some one had struck him with a
cleaVer.
Mrs. Warfield is confined at hospi-
tai in the city and it is feared the blow
may kill her.
