MINERS MAY YET
BE RECONC|LED

NEW YORK. Dec. 11.-Mrs Charles
T. Yerkes- Miner. who married Wilson
Miner under rather remarkable cir
cumstances nearly a year ago, and from
whom she separated a few weeks later,
arrived in New York last week in the
best of spirits. AS she left the car
raige to walk up the brownstone steps
of her Fifth avenue mansion there was
no evidence about her condition to
prove she had recently undergone a
serious operation in Chicago, reports
of which were given out there. with a
statement that she was a very sick
woman.
An unsuccessful attempt was made
today to ascertain if the report was
true that she was about to begin. or
had begun. an action for divorce. Miz-
ner informed one of his friends no later
than Sunday that no legal papers had
been served on him, and that he did not
contemplate any such service. He
has made no attempt to see his wife.
In Chicago Miner made every effort to
effect a reconciliation.
A prominent professional man who
has been intimate with the affairs of
the Yerkes estate, when asked If there
was g prospect that Miner would take
his place as the head of the New York
household said that he would not be
surprised at any step taken in the fu-
ture by the couple.

ELECTED MAN TRIES TO KILL
BARTENDER, BUT PISTOL FAILS

But for the fact that a revolver in
the hands of Michael Shaughnessy,
a laborer, failed to explode Frank w.
Barenstein, g bartender, would have
been killed last night. At about II
o'clock Shaughnessy and three COM
panions were elected from the Foun-
tain saloon in the basement at Mar
ket and Geary streets. On reaching
the sidewalk Shaughnessy, the in
stigator Of the trouble, drew a pistol
and with the muzzle pressed against
the bartender's breast he snapped II
three times, the cartridge falling to
explode. Examination of the weapon
showed that three of the chambers
were loaded.
Officer F. J. Teutenberg arrested
Shaughnessy and he was charged with
assault with deadly weapon His COM
panions. Joseph Shaughnessy, James
O'Hara and John Donovan, were locked
up in the Bush-street station for dis
turbing the peace. Shaughnessy is a
brother to John Shaughnessy, who sued
the State some time ago for being
placed in a straitjacket while in San
Quentin prison.

Brooks
Gives Himself Up
Light on Tragedy
in Graney's
Saloon

Much of the mystery surrounding the
fatal injury of an unknown man in
Eddie Graney's saloon Monday evening
was cleared up last night when Daniel
Brooks surrendered himself to the
police and confessed to having given
the stranger a shove that caused him
TO fall Brooks declares. however, that
he did not see his victim fall to the
floor as a result OF which his skull
was fractured. The statement made by
Brooks to Detective George F. Null
cahey is as follows:
Il was standing at the end of the
bar near the slot machine when the
deceased. who was a stranger to me.
came up and asked me to buy him a
drink He was very drunk at the time
said. You are a stranger to me- I
don't know you. and he started to pull
me by the coat
He pulled my coat several times.
I said. Please. let me alone and
pushed him away. l did not actually
see the man fall. I then left the sa-
oonl
Il first learned of his death in the
newspapers this morning. I left at s
D. m and took the ferry boat San
Pablo to Point Richmond and remained
there all night with a friend. l came
back to San Francisco at p. m. today
and then surrendered myself to the
police"
The man now dead and companion
entered Graney's saloon at o'clock
Monday afternoon. All the evidence the
police could get at that time was that
he had been showed by a man named
Brooks and that in falling he had
struck his head in such a way as 20
fracture his skull. He died during the
night at the Central Emergency Hos
pital. without having regained con-
seriousness. His companion and the
man supposed TO have caused his injury
disappeared and but little of the details
of the affair could be learned.
Captain of Police Mooney was dis
pleased with the evidence given in the
case by Graney yesterday and has
threatened TO prefer charges before the
Police Commission to have his liquor
license revoked. Mooney declares that
Graney was evasive in answering the
questions put to him. Moneys threat
10 prefer charges against Graney be-
fore the Police Commission were made
before Brooks surrendered himself
Policeman E. J. Casey. who was first
called to the saloon after the man was
injured is severely criticised at The
police headquarters for not getting the
names of witnesses to the affair. There
is said to have been twenty-five men
in the saloon at the time Casey arrived
there, and the identity of none of these.
with the exception of the bartenders.
is known.
All the information received by Casey
was that volunteered by the barkeep-
ers who declared the injured man had
been drinking and had fallen backward,
striking his head on the floor.

MRS. sTORER' ZEAL
FOR THE CHURCH
Controversy Over Efforts to
Crown Ireland With Red
Hat Is Far Reaching
UNREST IN TWO HOMES
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

CINCINNATI, Dec. 1.-The zeal Of
Bellamy Storer and his wife to crown
Archbishop Ireland with the Cardinals
red hat and make him prince of the
Catholic church is better understood in
incinnati than in Washington. That
the Storers for Yeas have been close
friends of the Archbishop is well
known.
To Archbishop Ireland is given the
credit for the conversion of Mrs. Storer
and later of her husband from Protest
antism to Catholicism His teaching of
the faith to Mrs. Storer caused a SEN
sation in society years ago, when the
announcement of her baptism in the
church was issued Since that time Mrs
Storer has been conspicuously active in
Catholic matters. 1t was She 1t is
said. who fostered the movement to
establish the Catholic Cathedral in
Cincinnati on the hilltops. 1t was she
who offered the Archbishop of Cincin-
natl, at that time the Most Reverend
Elder. a palace on the hilltops. Mrs.
Storer proposed to vacate her own
beautiful home and consecrate it to the
church The agitation following the
offer was such that the Archbishop de-
cided to remain downtown among the
greater number of his Catholic flock.
Mrs Storers political and social
activities in Cincinnati have been
great. Her husband, Bellamy Storer,
represented the First Ohio District at
one time Mrs. Storer was the con-
spicuous figure in Washington. The
friendship of Archbishop Ireland with
the Storers was credited with the
hearty support given President McKin-
ley by the church dignitary. Arch
bishop Irelands services for the Re-
publican ticket in 1896 made him a ma
tional figure, and when President Nc
Kinley was indicted into Office a suit
able reward was sought for Bellamy
Storer.
Storer preferred a Cabinet position.
He was slated to become Assistant Sec
rotary of State. At that moment the
figure of Senator Joseph B. Foraker
loomed and his opposition to Storer
being credited to Ohio. President Nc
Kinley asked Foraker if he had any
objection to Storer being sent on a Dip
lomatic mission.
THE further the better is said to
have been the politicians reply. Storer
was sent abroad.
The Storer- Roosevelt incident, as
as we'll as uncovering a political re-
ligious intrigue in the diplomatic corps
and at Washington. has revived rumors
of a feeling of unrest in the Long
worth and Roosevelt households. Mrs.
Maria Longworth Storer is a sister of
the father of Congressman Nicholas
Longworth. who married Alice Roose-
Welt Alice Roosevelt visited Cincin-
natl in the summer of 1905 Mrs Nocho-
las Longworth. mothe- of Nick took
a hasty and unexpected trip to- Paris to
visit her daughter, the Countess de
Chanbrun.
