San Francisco, May 2.-The first
definite proposition for furnishing
money on large scale tn San Fran
cisco for the purpose OF rebuilding
some of the burned sections was made
public yesterday when 1t was an,
nounced that syndicate Of New York
capitalists had agreed to advance
$l00,000,000, The news came in a
telegram received by W. F. Herrln,
chief counsel of the Southern Pacizc,
from United States Senator Newlands
of Nevada, who had a large interest
in the burned Palace hotel. Senator
Newlands stated that he had submit
ted the plan TO New York inanciers
and that they had virtually consented
to supply the money on bond ana
mortgage basis. The offer is under

CONDEMNED AND EXECUTED AS
A TRAITOR.
BY A SECRET TRIBUNAL
Tried by Revolutionary Workmen's
Court, Found Guilty and Killed
for Dealing With the Government
and Offering to Expose a Plot to
Kill the Gar.

st. Petersburg, May 2.-Confirma-
ton of the truth of the story of Father
Gapon's execution was received yes
terday. 1t consisted of a copy OF the
sentence of death passed by a revo
lutionary workmen's tribunal, and was
mailed, like Gapon's portfolio, from
Berlin to M. Margorlin, the former
priests lawyer. The document gives
the details of Gapon's offenses.
In a long preamble justifying the
execution it sets forth that the work
mems tribunal had incontestable
proofs Of Gapon's secret relations
with various members of the political
police, whose names are given, to
whom he promised to betray the revo-
lutionists if allowed to reopen his or
ganization. Later he undertook in be-
half of the chief of the secret police,
Gerasimoff, to find out and betray TO
the government a plot to kill the en-
peor Premier White and Interior
Minister Durnovo, and opened nego-
tiations with member of the fight.
ing organization, offering $12,500 for
the necessary information and guarau.
teeing the personal security of the
traitor from the vengeance of the
reyolutionists
The document also lays at Gapon's
door the responsibility for the death
of Seichoff, who blew his brains out
during the investigation of charges
against the Gapon organization, Civ
ing a new and more sensational yer.
sion of the reason for his suicide. 1t
says that GaPon, using his influence
over Seichoff, gave him the revolver
he would kill Nicholas Petroff, the
workman leader who published dis
closures of Gapons relations with the
government and his financial irregu-
larities. Seichoff, on learning the
truth of the disclosures, committed
suicide rather than break his oath.
The preamble further charges Gapon
with receiving $4,000 for the benefit
of workmen and of not making any
accounting for the sum and concludes
with saying:
Taken in Flagrante Delicto, Gapon
admitted the truth of all the charges,
pleading that he acted with the best
motives, but having duly weighed his
crimes and his defense, the tribunal
decided that George Gapon was a
traitor, spy, provocative agent thief
of money belonging to workmen and
violator of the honor of his dead com,
rades of January %, and therefore
condemned him to death. The SEN
tence has been executed"
