UNCLEAN SPIRITS
HAUNTED BATHS

COLORADO SPRINGS. Colo. Nov. q.
Did Mrs. Pauline Youngberg of Denver
finance the Manitou bathhouse propo-
sition of F. N. Hitchcock of her own
free will? This question has been
asked because of allegations that GER
tain spiritualistic forces that are said
to have been employed to bring about
her undoing.
According to Mrs. .Youngberg's testi-
mony in the District Court today in the
suit brought by Jeanette C. Campbell
and other stockholders in the Manitou
Bathhouse Company to secure an ac-
counting of the funds turned over to
President Hitchcock, the powers of me-
diums were employed to influence her
in buying stock in the company. 'sMr
Hitchcock began talking about spiritu-
alism soon after l first met him." said
Mrs Youngberg In telling of her ex-
perience with the Manitou bathhouse
promoter. Mrs. Youngberg said that
the spirits told her that Hitchcock's
plan was a good investment, that Mr..
Hitchcock was a careful, reliable busi-
ness man and that she would make
money IL she would go into business
with him. Mrs. Youngberg is said to
have invested approximately $4,000 in
the Manitou bath plant.

DOES NOT
FAVOR CANOES

BOSTON, Nov 27.-Commander Rob-
ert E. Peary passed about two hours
in this city tonight on his way to
Washington, where he hopes to spend
Thanksgiving.
Commander Peary said that he should
stop a few hours in New York tomor-
row in order to see friends, and would
leave for Washington in the afternoon.
He will report at the Navy Depart
ment later in the week, and may see
President Roosevelt. He reiterated his
statement that his failure was due to
the six days storm and unusually open
weather last spring.
He was asked If he could not have
made better progress by using canoes
as Nansen did. In reply. Commander
Peary said that it was not feasible to
use canvas canoes with so large a
party, and that he was satisfied that
his method of establishing series of
relay stations was the best. He
pointed out that Nansen in his dash
had only a single companion, and the
two were therefore able to cross the
open foes in their canvas canoes.

COURT TOCONS|DER.
NORRIS DEMAND
Suit of the Millionaire
Against Storage Company
Taken Under Amusement
SIDELIGHT

OAKLAND, Nov. 27.-An interesting
view into the auction business was
afforded in Judge Ellsworth's court to-
day at the further trial of Millionaire
Henry Morris suit against the Bekins
Van and Storage Company for the loss
of load of furniture and trunks In
the San Francisco fire. The derense
had placed on the stand L Mendel Tor
sixteen years with the auction house
of Charles Levy, in San Francisco, and
lately with II. Schelhaas, In Oakland, to
testify as to the value of the articles
lost by the Morrises. Under search
ing cross-examination by Attorney Ben
Woolner for the plaintiff Mendel said
in part:
you can't tell by an auction what an
article is worth. The auctioneer tries
to get as much as he can, and IT an
article is going for less than he thinks
It ought to he bids it in himself under
a fictitious name. People frequently
get excited at auctions and give many
times what thing is really worth
There are no bona fde auction sales

At the conclusion of the testimony
Judge Ellsworth took the case under
advisement Briefs will be submitted
on the legal question of the defend
ants responsibility for the delay in
transporting the Morris goods from
San Francisco to Oakland that caused
them to be caught in the fire. Judge
Ellsworth will decide the case on De-

refugee from San Francisco. who now
conducts a small notion and confec-
tfonery store at 1901 Brush street.

however insists that the note was
penned by some one who wishes to
frighten her into leaving Oakland.

HISTORIC YUBA DAM
PREY Of FLAMES

MARYSvILLE. Nov. 27.-Yuba Dam,
once bustling mining camp, immor-
talized by Bret Harte, is thing of the
past What remained of the old camp
was destroyed by fire early this morn
ing. One family nearly perished in the
flames.
John Carstenbrok was awakened
when part of his house fell in. He
carried his unconscious wife to safety,
after which his children were taken
through an upper story window. Car
stenbrok was badly burned.
Yuba Dam was named by miners in
the early fifties and was a prominent
placer mining town. The dam was
built across the river to furnish water
for mines, and quite a large camp was
established.
The peculiar name struck the fancy
of Bret Harte upon his visit there and
he made fame for it.
In recent years the town has con-
sisted of few small houses, saloon,
stables and shacks. The property loss
is about $4,000.

CHINA WILL awake
WITH NEW RULE

BERKELEY, Nov. PA change IN
the form Of Chinese government from
a despotism to that OF a republican
monarchy is predicted by Professor
John Fryer, head Of the department OF
Oriental languages at the State Uni
versity. In a lecture delivered today
to the College OF Commerce Club on
the subject of why Japan Has Devel-
oped More Rapidly Than China" Pro-
fessor Fryer said, after describing the
handicap under which China labors
because OF her old-fashioned govern
ment:
1T has been announced that the
Chinese Government will undergo a.
complete change in 1909. The pres
ent despotism will be replaced by q
republican monarchy. with a Cabinet
or Parliament. Advancement along
all lines will then be rapid.
"China's handicaps in the past In
clude the clinging to old. outworn re-
ligious creeds and philosophies. her
treatment of women and the smoking
of opium. The Government OF Japan
for several centuries has been feudaE
and patriotism has been developed Fhe
island of Japan Is filed with people
abounding in hope, self-relianee and
confidence. Railroads gridiron the
island, in striking contract TO the
wornout roads and canals OF China.
Japan has often been compared to
Great Britain. and the similarity is
striking. Nothing pleases Japanese
more than to hear this comparison
made"

OIL-GAS To AVERT
COAL FAMINE

OAKLAND, Nov. 27.-Oakland is fac
Ing a coal famine. Small dealers here
declare the situation is acute. The
consumption of coal has doubled in six
months and hardly a dealer has been
able to put in a stock for the winter
Oakland hopes that the situation
will be relieved by the Gas, Light and
Heat Company, which has vehemently
declared that there will be no advance
in the price of gas and that the supply
will at all times equal the demand. The
abundance of oil products from which
the gas is manufactured would seem to
make il possible for gas to be substi-
tuted for coal at a much reduced rate
over what is now charged.
