The murder OF L. s. Pringle. a con-
tractor, who formerly resided in the

relative. On the morning OF the earth
quake. according to the reports on file

the city. The Schultz brothers had a
rowboat and Pringle made a bargain
to be taken to Oakland. Before the
journey was completed Pringle grew
angry and threw one of the brothers
overheard and held him under the
water with an oar. The other brother
used a pistol. fatally wounding Pringle.
Where he was inferred is not known
The sister in Pennsylvania wishes to
know OF the police as to the reliability
of Thomas Lloyd, a contractor. who
wrote her of the occurrence stating
that her brother had left some property

in acquiring IT. The letter written by
the sister will be answered in accord
ance with the facts now in the possess
sion OF the police.

MOVE OF TRADERS
IS SUSPICIOUS.

The news of the fling of a bill in
Chicago for the appointment of a new
receiver for the Traders Insurance
Company has caused great stir
among the policy holders in this city.
A suspicion is entertained that the
move may be for the purpose of max
ing the premium liability on unburned
risks preferred claims If this is the
aim and it is successful. then the net
result will be that 81 100000 OF as
SETS now in sight in large part to pay
the San Francisco fire losers, will be
set aside and put beyond their reach.
This is the statement that was made
yesterday by John S. Partridge. sec
retary for the Traders Policy holders
Corporation. The fund of the Trad
ers' Insurance Company to cover out
standing policies that represent un-
burned properties is s1,500,000," said
Partridge. Recently We have been in
correspondence with the attorney for
the receiver of the Traders Insurance
Company at Chicago, and he has prac-
tically agreed that the unearned pre-
miums to be repaid on unburned prop
critics shall pro-rate with the other
claims against the company-that Is.
they shall be paid at the same per-
centage that is given to the San Fran
cisco losers. The amount to any one
person who holds a policy on property
that Is DOt DutIlcQ Will bs- 80 iftbiC.
but the aggregate will be $1,000. 200,
which is a large item 10 the San Fran
cisco losers. when it is deducted from
the total assets.
while we have been carrying on
this correspondence, some one whose
identity we do not know has brought
suit to have stil' another receiver ap-
pointed. Our suspicious have been
active about the methods of the Trad
e1s' Insurance COMPANY ever since
we learned that Attorney Bates. who
came to California to offer terms Of
settlement. vas representing the
stockholders the receiver and the per-
SONS who caused the appointment of
Byron l.. Smith as the first receiver.
I'VE have discovered that the avail
able assets are much larger than rep
resented at first by Bates. OF course,
we will look into the new develop
ments at once through our Chicago at
torneys. 1t may be all right but the
matter will bear investigation"
The suit for new receiver for the
Traders Insurance Company is
brought by Smith. Cullom G. Co. of
Birmingham, Ala, who allege that they
have been forced to pay out $4,000
for premiums collected and on policies
discontinued. Attorney George G.
Try. who is unknown to the San Fran
cisco policy holders of the Traders
company. is charged in the bill for a
new receiver with collision and con-
spiracy with stockholders.

Fine Cloth and Neva Lee They ran in
this fashion to the stretch, where Tip

HEARST PROPOSES
NEW ALLIANCE.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL


NEW YORK. Sept. 3.-It was dis
closed today that William r.. Hearst s
agents offered their support to Judge
William ]. Gaynor of Kings County
for Governor, which was not accepted,
and that they have inferred into a dicker
with the Odell- Quigg- DAILY Republicans
of this city, which constitutes an af-
fensive and defensive alliance.
Democrats who favor the nomination
of Bryan for President became more
than ever indignant when they learned
OF the offer to Judge Gaynor. This. 1t
seems, was proposed after District At
torney Jerome rejected Hearst's offer
that he support Hearst for President,
while Hearst would support Jerome for
Governor this year.
Bryan Democrats say Hearst's rep
resentatives approached Judge Gaynor
several months ago. when he was first
spoken of as compromise candidate
for Governor. They asked him to step
aside for Hearst. The Judge is said to
have replied that he did not know
whether he would ever be a candidate
for office and certainly would not enter
into any understanding in advance OF
a nomination. The Hearst represen-
tatives offered to have Hearst with
draw 'in favor of Judge Gaynor," OF
course, with the understanding that
stand in the way of Hearst's candi-
dacy for President in 1908. 1t is not
necessary to say that Judge Gaynor did
not enter into the agreement.
Judge Gaynor was seen by reporter
at his summer home in St. James.
Long Island, but refused to discuss any
conferences to which he had been a
party or to say q word about tne offers
from the Hearst force, but the deal
with the anti-Hi ggins. nti-Roosevelt
faction of the Republicans seems TO
have been more successful, because it
is understood to be now in full opera
ton.
Under it's terms the Independence
League and the Municipal Ownership
League are to give the Oden-Quigg-
DAILY forces all the assistance they want
in the primaries. About $4,000 Repub-
licans enrolled as such at the last city
election in the city, but did not vote
for lvens. Most of them voted for Nc
Clellan, although there is belief that
Hearst got large Republican vote. If
the various leagues can throw any of
these votes to the Odell-Quigg DAILY
combination they will go there In re-
turn for this assistance Hearst ex-
poets the Odell forces, in case 1t is clear
that Higgins controls the convention at
Saratoga, to start a great Republican
demand for Hearst in the galleries.
1t was pointed out in this connection
that Hearst is after Republican votes
up-the state He declared In one of his
speeches today that he believed IN the
protective tariff. Now comes cloud
of predictions from the Odell followers
In this city that Hearst Is to have an
enormous vote up the State. Wherever
one meets an OdAll man he will shake
his head. heave sigh loud and long
and say that Hearst is to sweep every
thing before him if Higgins is nori-
mated.

Sullivan Says Cans
Is Worlds Greatest
By Larry Sullivan.

GOLDFIELD, Sept 3.-"I saw the
foul blow struck and knew it was de-
liberate. Nelson was beaten at his own
game and took desperate chances. He
is a contemplate fighter. Everybody
who saw the bout will bear me out in
this. think Cans is the greatest light
weight who ever donned a pair of
mitts. He has proved that he is game,
a scientific man and a slayer He
fought on the square and like a gentle
man. Nolan did all he could to beat
him by any means, and he got just
what was coming to him. l am ready
and willing to bet $4,000 that Cans can
beat Nelson by the knock -out route ]
will put up my money right away on
condition that the fight takes place
within three weeks. The purse. battle
ground and incidentals can be ar
ranged in the meantime. Any old con-
ditions will suit me. l do not believe
that Nelson will ever get over that
beating Cans gave him. Joe has won
the hearts of everybody in Goldfield.
He is the greatest fighter on earth to-
day"

NELSON'S MOTHER
STILL PROUD OF
HER SON.

HEGEWISCH, ILL.,, Sept. ST can
scarcely realize that my son, after so
many victories, has been defeated, and
by a colored man." said Battling Nell
sons mother tonight. Il know he
fought his best and believe he should
have won. There is no happiness in our
home tonight as there has been in the
past when with joy we heard of Bat
things victories. / think the referee
was against him and that he did not
get a square deal 1 know that my son
did not foul his opponent Battling is
too manly to fight anything but a
square and honest fight. He has never
dore anything like that in the past
and 1 cannot and will not believe that
he did anything like that today. will
await my sons return and hear the
truth from his own lips. 1 am proud
that Battling is my son, even though
h. was defeated today He is the best
fighter in the world"

Rickard Says Britt
Fears Both Fighters
By Tex Rickard.

GOLDFIELD. Sept 3-It was the
greatest fight ever seen. Up to the
finish 1t was anybody's battle. There
was not man present who could fore
cast the result Both men seemed to
be equally strong. The blow that won
the biggest struggle of fsticuffs in the
history of the Queensberry game was a
straight foul. I do not think 1t was
Intentional. Nelson was trying to get
under Cans guard, and his glove
slipped. Every one saw the foul, SO
there can be no discussion. Everything 6
went off without hitch and the town
of Goldfeld has had the biggest ath-
letic attraction of years.
I do not know when I shall pull off
the next bout, but would like to get
Cans and the Dane together again. If
not, then 1 will take on either of them
and the next best man in the game.
Jimmy Britt does not want to meet
either of the fighters who met today.
He is afraid of them.

Britt Says NOIar1'S
Day Is Of the Past
By j. Edward Britt. ,

GOLDFIELD. Sept. 81 am ready
to meet either Cans or Nelson any
time they want to fight. Cans beat
the Dane all around the ring. While
I do not possess much love for either
of them, l have to hand 1t to Cans.
Nelson never had look in. 1t looked
to me as though the Dane wanted to
quit after seeing his finish. I believe
that the beating I gave Nelson at
Colma had much to do toward weak
ening him today. The foul was a de-
liberate pne. Nelson fought his usual
style. He wrestled and butted and
waged q dirty battle. Nolan framed
the articles so that his protege would
have a chance. Nelson's defeat means
that Billy Nolan will no longer be able
to make a wrestling match out of
pugilistic fights. His day is done and
it means the re-establishment of clean
lighting between men who know the
game"
