Resulted In Law Suits.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 1.-THE Guggen-
helms and Rockefellers. through their re-
Gently formed American Smelters Securi-
ties company, have decided to build a
81, 600 smeter a a point a mile back
from Port Costa, and ground will be broken
for the big establishment early next sum-
mer.N The old Selby smelter, on the Bay
shore, a few miles beyond West Berkely,
will be abandoned when the new smelter
is completed. Fumes from the Seby plant
have been for years poisoning the sur
rounding vegetation, and farmers have
suits for damages pending against that
plant on that account. 1t is said the new
plant will have a location that will not give
rise to such damage suits In the future.
1t is said by some of the interested peo-
pie that the building of big smelter close
by this city will undoubtedly be followed
by the establishment of copper manufac-
turing plants in San Francisco and the
prediction is made that within a couple of
years copper wire and other copper pro-
ducts will be manufactured here.

MAJOR GILLETTE 0STRACIZED
Startling Testimony I'm the Greene
and 6aynor Conspiracy Case
Trial.

SAVANNAH. Ga, Feb. H.-MaJor Cassius
T. Gillette's testimony was concluded today
and the Greene and Gaynor trial moved on
TO other witnesses. In the cross-eXamina-
ton of Major Gillette by Mr.. Osborne for
the defense a sensation was created when
the witness told of the difficulties he had
encountered in Savannah because OF the
prosecution OF Captain Oberlin NJ. Carter.
He and his family. he intimated had been
received coldly and there was a practical
ostracism from that society in which Carter
had long been a favorite.
He quoted a conversation he had had
with Mr.. Osborne. the attorney cross-ex
amining him. in which the latter had told
him that the animosity had developed
against him because OF his attitude towards
Carter which for "brazen effrohtery was
without parallel in the history of crime"
Mr.. Osborne endeavored to shake the
witness in his memory of this statement.
but Major Gillette adhered to Il. declaring
that he had repeated IL many times since
and that it was an observation so striking
that ii would not have slipped his memory.

Recover DcuEherty shortage
from Treasurers.

PEORIA. ILL.,, Feb. 14.--After exceed
lngly stormy session the school inspectors
of Peoria tonight adopted a resolution. the
caluses of which release from liability for
the shortage caused by the forgery and
embezzlement of \. c. Doughcrty all the
treasurers and the bondsmen for the last
eighteen years. the Peoria National bank
and all other banks which have handled
school funds in eighteen years since Dough-
erty became secretary Of the school board,
as well as superintendent. and calls for the
immediate prosecution by all means neces-
sary to collect from the estate of Dough-
erty insofar as that estate goes. The sup
porters of the resolution based their argu-
ment upon sympathy for the widows and
orphans who would suffer from the prosecu-
tion of the bank, and for the bondsmen who
would be ruined by the pressing of suits.
The final report of the Everett Audit COM
pany, presented tonight shows a probable
shortage of $6lS,9Oo. The Dougherty estate
is estimated to be worth from sl5OOOO to
S300,OOo and by tho action of the board to-
night the power of recovery is limited to
this fund.

RoJESTvENSKYS BITTER TALK
intimates that Thieves Had some
thing 10 DO with Defeat
of Russians,

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 14.-"Perhaps !
am guilty to some extent for our defeat
and perhaps my subordnates did not do
all they might have done. but at all events
we, who fought the battle were not thieves
said Admiral RoJestvensky, who addressed
the Imperial Technical society yesterday
evening on the causes of the defeat of the
Russians at the battle of the sea of Japan
The admiral made no specifications re-
garding rascality in the construction or
equipment of the ships, but he commented
at length on the destructive effect of the
heavy Japanese shells, which when they
only exploded in the water near the Rus
sian vessels cracked their plates and
opened great leaks, while those which hit
the Russian ships squarely were as de-
structive as mines.
A young lieutenant during the discussion
attempted to lay the blame on submarine
boats. but the admiral denied that sub
marine boats or mines were used during
the engagement.
