.CONFESSES HE
KILLED CHAVEZ
FRANK BELL sURRENDERs TO
PRESCOTT OFFICER
Says He Was Mot Wiling That All
other Man Should Suffer for
His Crime-Shows No
Penitence
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
PRESCOTT. Ariz Jan. 2S.-With the
confession that he is the murderer of
Colonel Chavez, who was shot in New
Mexico December 26, 1904, Frank Bell
surrendered himself to the sheriff to-
day, remarking: II know that l am
a fool for putting my head into a
moose, but since reading that another
man was arrested for the crime could
not stand it to see an innocent man
punished. Chavez wronged me polit-
ically and in other ways and I would
do the same thing again under the
same circumstances"
Bell, who is 55 years old, seems sane
and the officers believe his story. He
says that he followed Chavez from AL
buquerque to the home of Juan de
Salas. After supper the three men were
sitting in a room with Chavez two
feet from the window. Bell fired twice,
the first shot hitting Chavez above the
heart and he fell dead.
Bell says he had no trouble in MAX
ing his escape until pursued by blood
hounds. At one time the dogs were
within hundred yards of his hiding
place, but he had crossed sheep trail
and the hounds lost the scent. Then
he came to Arizona, where he has
been working in the mountains and re-
Gently as a section hand on branch
of the Santa Fe at Martinez, In this
county.
Whether Bells story is straight will
be determined tomorrow by Deputy
Marshal Fornoff of Albuquerque, who
arrived tonight, being sent as special
agent of Governor Hagerman to inves-
tigate.
The assassination of Chavez created
a sensation. He was a leading poll
tician, was nine times elected pres-
dent of the territorial council of New
Mexico and was once a delegate to con-
greSS.

Government Station Near Newport
Damaged to Extent of
100000
BY Associated Press.

NEWPORT, r. l., Jan. 2S.-Seven
buildings connected with the United
States naval training station at Coast
er's Harbor island in this city were
destroyed by fire tonight, causing an
estimated loss of 100000 The buildings
destroyed were the detention building
machine shop, paint shop, paymaster's
storehouse carpenter shop and two
small Storehouses.
One of the burned buildings contained
all of the small boats and cutters used
for practice purposes. All were de-
stroyed. Several apprentices in single
irons were confined in the detention
building at the time the fire broke out
Physical Instructor Joseph Kirby lib
Grated them by a heroic effort. When
he reached the detention building he
could not see the young prisoners on
account of smoke, but they answered
his call. Supported by line of men
Kirby made his way to the spot where
the boys were confined and passed them
back one by one to the men behind
him and so out on to the seawall. In
passing over the seawall two of the
manacled boys fell overheard, but were
rescued.
For time the famous old frigate
Constellation, which is used as prac-
tice ship at the station, was in danger
of destruction, but prompt work on the
part of the firemen saved the ship.

STANDARD OIL RETALIATES
Will Take Only One Third of Mid-
continent Output as Result of
Missouri's Suit
BY Associated Press.

BARTLETTSVILLE, I. T., Jan. 2s.-
Orders have been issued by the STAN
dard Oil company that hereafter only
third of the midcontinent's field out
put would be bought, owing to the fact
that the Standard company will be
prevented from continuing as a buyer
and transporter of petroleum through
the proceedings instituted by Attorney
General Hadley of Missouri. There is
production of $4,000 barrels daily.
The operators are organizing to send
a delegation to see the Standard COM
panys agents in Kansas City, since
the enforcement of such an order for
long would mean the suspension of all
activity here soon. Failing they will
go to Mr.. Hadley to see if he intends
to prevent the Standard from trans
porting oil across Missouri The COM
mittee will tell him that if the Stand
ard is ousted from Missouri it will shut
off the market for petroleum products
in this field. because the pipe line from
the mdcontinent fields run through a
portion of Missouri.
Already the reduction by two-thirds
of the amount formerly taken by the
Standard company has demoralized
business and there are fears the Stan
dard will cease entirely to take oil
during the agitation.

Special Concessions Shall Be
Granted
BY Associated Press.

San Joaquin valley points, such as
Stockton, Fresno, Hanford and Bakers

bates or other special concessions shall
be granted to any fruit shippers in
California and that the reduced rates

Mclean, who was commander Of the
illegal sealing vessel Carmencita.
The schooner Ella G left Victoria on
Saturday the goth on a fishing cruise
off Vancouver island coast. in the vi
cinity of the entrance of the straits.
She was seen Tuesday last by settlers
at Carmanah point, standing off Bo-
nilla point and according to those who
then watched her she did not pass out
and appeared to be acting strangely.
Last night there were rumors that she
had been lost, adviceS coming from
Bamfield creek to the effect that the
schooner had turned turtle and all on
board were lost. The Ella G. after
she was salved from the beach at
Clayoquot. had a large amount of bal

and it Is not thought the ballast was
placed properly in the vessel.
Captain Alexander Mclean, who was
sci, was a sealer who has become no.
torious as result of sealing raids and
a recent Illicit sealing cruise to Bering
sea on the schooner Carmencita. Jack

years and on one occasion was seized
by the Russian cruiser Aleut, when
sealing off the Copper islands with the
American schooner James Hamilton

to disable the cruiser by throwing
cable about her propeller. The attempt
did not succeed and he and his crew
were imprisoned.
He was responsible for number of
sealing raids, the last being in Angst,
1904, when he tried to raid Copper ISL

consequence of this that the United
States secret service men started to
work, and orders were given for Nc
Leans arrest when he was absent on
his voyage last year with a crew Of
81 men from San Francisco.
The owners at San Francisco were in
dicted and are now on bail, and a war
rant was issued for Mclean which was
never served as he remained at Vic
toria where the Carmencita, now in
port, was sold to pay debts. An effort
made by the Washington government
to have Mclean arrested for Illicit seal
