Judge Gillette Of Oklahoma Defeated
Appointed Too Many Rela-
tives.

According to Washington advices,
the charge Of nepotism served to de-
feat the confirmation of Judge Gillette,

which had it under consideration. Not

nomination, but is not to confirm the
nominee, according to gentleman in
terested in the appointment, who is In

the law, prohibiting federal judges
from having relatives as court officials,
Justice Gillette has his son as one
clerk and a brother-in-law or some 9th
e. relative as another,

BODY OF A WOMAN
FOUND IN RIVER.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

ABERDEEN, Wash, Oct. 1S.-The
mystery surrounding the circumst tances
leading up to the murder of young
woman whose body was found in the
Chehalis River here last evening baf-
fies the police, and promises to remain
unsolved. The body was found float
ing near the wharves of the Union Mill
Company. A telltale cash over the
right eye and another woundS beneath
the eye established the manner in
which the woman was killed. The
body evidently had been in the water
for ten or twelve days.
The mystery of her death is deepened
by the fact that receipts and papers
found in a purse she carried bear diff
ferent names. Two money order re-
ceipts were found, one in the name of
Mrs. w. H. Brady and the other in the
name of Mrs. G.. G. Thurston. A letter
in the purse contained the name Mrs
Brady The money order receipts
were issued at Tacoma and Bellingham,
this State
The police are diligently at work try
ing to solve the mystery, but thus far
without success. They were notified
some days ago of the disappearance
of woman, presumably at Aberdeen,
and are almost convinced the body is
that of the woman reported missing
The officers are firm in the belief that
the woman was killed here.

WORK
IN QUESTION.

Investigation into the acts of their
adjusters in this city may be under
taken by certain fire insurance COM
panies. A story of sensational interest
is that discovery has been made of pri-
vate graft in certain instances. All
those in position to know many of
the facts decline to be quoted
reputable attorney said last even
ing that some facts had been collected.
One of the leading adjusters declared
that an expose of shady methods was
not improbable.
While there is a present determine
ton to keep back names, disclosures
which are persistent and have been
in circulation for some days refer par
ticularly to adjusters who have served
the companies that have been Noted for
cheap settlements with losers by fire
The cheapest rate at which an i'm
ported adjuster is reported to be $50
day. In some instances adjusters
from abroad have worked on a per
centage basis, acting under instruc-
tions from home offices as to a maxi
mum of payments and then getting
clients to accept as much less as possi-
BILE, thus making sliding scale.
Some companies, so 1T is reported,
have supposed that their payments
have been at better rates than actually
has been the fact. The complaints that
have resulted have given the companies
the pointers required to set an investi-
cation on foot. Letters are reported
to have passed in which adjusters
have acknowledged that they had
slashed more than they were author
ized to and have claimed compensation
for the saving to their employers.
Still other adjusters who have adj
justed on a dollar for dollar basis are
reported to have asked for allowances
for losers for quick service.
AS the result OF these stories there
is a great buzzing along the insurance
line. Corporations that have lost busi-
ness by the regulations created for
them by their subordinates may be
back of the stir. The story has been
heard in banks where there are large
insurance interests and in lawyers Of
fees where many insurance clients are
represented.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.
MARE ISLAND, Oct. 13.-Marshall
Nay, ordinary seaman, attached to the
cruiser Charleston, met his death in the
waters of the strait this afternoon,
though not because heroes were lack
ing among his shipmates. Swinging
on a bosun's soup, hunming a sailors
song as he washed the glistening,
white side of the warship, Nay sudden
ly clutched at his head, uttered cry
of agony and fell into the sea, a vic
tim of epilepsy. For an instant he
1oated. his frame quivered in convul-
sion, and then, burdered with pair of
heavy rubber boots, and swept by the
running tide, he disappeared beneath
the Charlestons hull.
shipmate working forward saw
him fall and gave the alarm. Speed
ing as though the order were given to
man the guns. half hundred brawny
fellows sprang to the rail- threw Off
hats and blouses like a fash and dove
deep down with open eyes, the prize
of the contest a human life. Five. ten,
fifteen seconds passed, and then, first
one at a time, then in pairs. then in
groups, heads and shoulders emerged
through the green waves, each tar
breathing deeply from his exertions,
and all wearing the anxious expression
that betokens disappointment. No one
of them had caught glimpse of the
drowning Nay.
When the word went along that none
had seen him, the sailors bent on his
rescue swan to the gangway, quickly
mounted to the rail and again plunged
on their mission. Clear under the
ship some of them swan, but to no
| avail.
In the meanwhile crews had manned
the boats and were raking the bottom
with graphing hooks Fifteen min
utes had passed when one of the grap-
piers shouted that he had located the
unfortunate seaman, and 1t was the
work of but a few seconds more to
draw him to the surface. Signs of
life We're still apparent. and quickly
the unconscious Nay was carried to the
ships hospital and the doctors began
! their work. For two hours they Ia
bored, endeavoring to resuscitate him.
but he was beyond their aid.
He will be buried with full honors
of the service. His body will be borne
TO the grave by those who risked their
| lives in the hope that his might be
] saved He was 10 years of age, a
native of New York.

.BlG MINING DEAL IN FL PASO
El Paso News.l

One of the largest mining deals of many a month was consummated in this city Saturday, between the repre- sentat.ves of the Phelps-Dodge inter- ests and the Clancy brothers, repre- senting themselves and other east ern capitalists, -..-
 The deal has to do with the famous Picacho gold mine in Sonora about forty miles south of Cananea, the Phelps-Dodge people selling it to the Picacho Gold Mines company, repre- sented by K. K. and R. D. Clancy, of Orc Maximo fame. The consideration is not made public. but it is said to be a good round sum.
 Following the consummation of the deal both parties left the city and further details could not be learned, but it is known that the new owners intend to start to working the mine much more energetically than 1t has ever been done before.
 R. K Clancy is the general mana ger of the Gro Maxine Mining com just two miles from Picacho. It is understood that he will also have complete charge of the recently ac' guired mine
 A number of assays from the Picacho have been made in local assay office. and speaking of them this morning, the assayer said that the ore contained silver and gold and was very rich. He further verified the report that from what he knew oi the mine the consideration must have been a very large sum.
 The Clancys have already con structed a very superior wagon road from their mine, the Orc Maxine, tc Cananea, and this road will be ex tended two miles to the Picacho, thus giving comparatively easy outlet to the railroad. Shipments will bt made to the Fl Paso smelter, it is said
