DAMN! REMARKS

Young Couple While Walking Sub.

New York-FoIlowed by
lnpertinent Crowd
speeial TO The uerald.

Special to The Harald.
NEW YORK Feb. 3.--Mss Roose-
| Welt Is having a difficult time these
days to dodge photographers. They
line up at places where 1t is known
she will be and greet her with the rat
tie of plates and the binding glare
of flashlights until she has lost all
patience and tells them so with some
heat on every possible occasion. Re-
Gently as she was walking down the
steps of the Goelet mansion at 22 East
Seventy second street, she was greeted
by clicking and swapping of shutters
and one man, more impertinent than
the rest, walked directly in front of
her and snapped his camera in her
face. Mr.. Longworth sprang forward
and pushed the man back six or seven
feet, making several remarks aside
In his ear which damn" was dis
tlnctly heard The man said nothing
and slipped away in the crowd.
After luncheon Miss Roosevelt came
out with the two daughters of Mrs
Mills and walked up Madison avenue to
the Seventy-second street crossing. On
the way uptown she was once more ex-
ceptionally annoyed by camera fiends
following her At Sixty-ninth street
she stopped suddenly and said to one
Of the most persistent of the camera
men: PLEASE stop this | want no
more pictures taken today. My rather
will be much displeased. Please leave
me alone. | think YOU should respect
my Wishes
The man promised and Miss Roose-
welt walked on rapidly and soon dis
appeared in the Goeet house. The
crowd hung around until she left there
to go to the Brook club to meet Con-
gressman Lungworth. She was wear
ing at this time big bunch of violets
which Congressman Longworth had
sent her. She joined him at the Brook
club. They entered an electric ham
HON and started across Fifth avenue
They thought they would give the re-
lorters the slip and the electric han
hom dashed into the park, circled
around the mall and then came down
alongside the site of the old plaza and
there were the reporters waiting. When
Miss Roosevelt saw that she had
failed to shake off the reporters she
laughed merrily
In driving down Fifth avenue later
the coachman went further than he
intended. He pulled up to turn around
and just then d horse attached to
delivery wagon reared and plunged his
front feet almost inside the window
of the carriage. Miss Roosevelt lodged
back. but a policeman ran out and
caught the plunging horse by the head
and the danger was over in a moment
The side of the cab was dented by the
hoofs of the horse.

WRECKS VICTIM
BURIED ON BEACH

VALENClA'S DEAD
Rude Cross Erected Over the Re-
mains of the Late v. M.
Crane of San Fran
cisco

BY Associated Press.
VICTORIA, E. c., Feb. 3.-The rude
cross placed at the head of newly
made mound in the black sands of
Long Beach, where miners washed for
placer gold a few years ago, marks the
grave of the first victim of the Va
lencia to be buried on the Vancouver
island coast The cross was erected
this morning by Lieutenant Whittier
and a landing party from the U. S.
S. Grant, which inferred the. remains
of V. NJ. Crane of San Francisco, with
due solemnity. Crane was in the
stewards department of the Valencia
and was identified by descriptions
found ON the body in a memorandum
book, as we'll as his card of member
ship in the Pacific Coast Marine
Cooks and Stewards association. 1t
is expected that other bodies washed
ashore will hereafter be buried near
the scene, as they are now much de-
composed.
The sea was smooth today, though
the surf continued to roll heavy and
the bodies are beginning to rise 1t
is expected that more will be recov-
cred by the steamers cruising near the
scene, which include the U. s. cutters
landed Lieutenant Governor Green
vile and six men to relieve the shore
searchers, including Lineman Logan
and party, now thoroughly worn out.
They have gone home to rest. The
Perry's men found one body today not
identified. This brings the total up
to twenty-elght. Ten had been pre-
viously brought here and five arrived
tonight by the Wyadda. There are
six bodies at a point near the scene
of the wreck which the searching
party is trying to reach, but land
ings could not be made in the surf.
The provincial police, anxious to Sc
cure all available bodies, questioned
those who know the shore trails with
regard to the possibility of bringing
the bodies to Bamfield over the trail on
stretchers. 1t has been shown, however,
that this is impracticable, the trail be-
ing in such a condition that the bodies
could not be carried for the fifteen
miles to Bamfield. The revenue cut
ters Grant and Perry and the tug Wy
adda have been cruising at the scene
of the wreck today, the Wyadda con-
tinuing on TO Victoria and, the others
returning at night to Bamfield. The tug

From every pulpit in the city and
every Episcopal church in the county,
an appeal will be made today for CO.
operation i'm the search for the missing
Mrs. Waldo +. Chase.
The readers of every paper are asked
to read again the description of the
missing woman and to spread the
story of her strange disappearance on
January 20, and aid in restoring her to
her stricken husband and children.
Mr.. Chase and his friend Murray
Harris, who have been, up night and
day for two weeks working on every
plausible clew, have accepted the
theory that Mrs. Chase left her home
possessed with the idea that she must
find work, the delusion being the re-
suit of depression following Illness.
only such an explanation can ac-
count for her going from Il home
where she reigned loving wife and
mother.
Financial troubles are the greatest
troubles in the world: the hardest to
bear" she said to Mrs. Harris on
Christmas day, when the two families
were dining together. No Significance
was alta ched to the remark at the
time as Mrs. Chase was comfortably
provided for, but it is now taken as
proof of the direction her monomania
vas tending.
Supports Derangement Theory
"There can only be one reasonable
theory as to the cause of her action"
said DR.. Karl Kurtz, physician to Mrs.
Chase, land that is that she was men-

When returning from Long Beach
after the body of " M. Crane was

tally unbalanced when she left her
home. Her mental state, however, was
not as some reports have stated, the
result of organic disease. Mrs. Chase
had no organic disease when 1 saw her
the last time, two weeks before she
left home She was happy with her
husband and children and had no
cause as far as | know, for leaving,
but temporary arrangement"
People have been most kind in try
ing to aid u.s." said Murray Harris, in
whose office a consultation was held
last night for furthering the search.
I'VE are confident that Mrs. Chase Is
alive and working some place in the
city or nearby town. For that reason
we ask everybody who has employed
anyone since January 20, to note the
description which is published again
today.
The missing woman is a French and
German scholar as well as being an
accomplished musician, and it is sup
posed she will try to get employment
teaching one of these branches, if she
has not done SO already.
1t was reported yesterday that she
had been seen in Santa Ana, two per-
sons having given accounts of seeing
a woman answering her description.
This clew will be carefully investi-
gated as have been all the others.
In the pretty home out ON Wilmer
street two little children wonderingly
ask every day when their mother is
coming home and bravely try not to
cry. and every night two little White

HOLDS SESSION
DID SERGEANTS SWEAR AT
EACH OTHER?
Grievance Growing Out of Noise In
the Armory Makes Work for
Thirteen Dgnified Regi=
mental Officers

Thirteen dignifed officers of the
Seventh regiment, N. G. c., sat in
solemn conclave for six hours last even
ing trying to make up their minds
whether Sergt. Charles Il. Plaisance
swore at Sergt. Jesse McComas OIL
whether Sergt. Jesse McComas swore
at Sergt. Plaisance.
The evidence was most conhicting.
Three or four witnesses had testified
that on the night of January 10 they
had heard the accused, Charles L.
Plaisal1ce, use violent and abusive
language toward Sergt. McComas, the
complaining witness.
After the state concluded it's case the
defense introduced three or four wit
nesses who swore with equal positive
ness that they heard the complaining
witness swear violently and with intent
at the accused, and that the accused,
SO far as they knew, never thought of
using profane language in his life.
Armorer's Orders
According to McComas, the armorer
or caretaker of the building in which
the armory is situated, on the night
mentioned in the accusation, he was
enga ged in cleaning the halls He
heard loud language issuing from a
locker room, together with inslstent
bangs upon the door of the locker
room. In his story told to the court
martial last night he said that he went
u the locker room and told the prlvates
who were making the noise to stop II
and that they obeyed him.
AS soon as his back was turned, was
his statement, Plaisance rushed UP to
him and with a torrent of profane
abuse, asked him what McComas
meant by giving orders to his, Plais-
ance's men.
McConas admitted that he answered
Plaisance rather sharply.
Three witnesses then were intro
duced who told the same story as did
McComas.
Ranking Officers Grievance
Then Plaisanoe was ordered to take
the stand. He stated that his main OBJ
lection to the manner in which Me-
ComaS spoke to him was that Nc
Comas, the janitor Of the building.
should presume to address him, the
ranking officer, with such contumely
A little farther in the testimony II
was brought out that McComas has
the same rank as Plaisance.
Plaisance is found guilty of violating
the Sixty-second OF the articles of
war which provides that any officer or
private who conducts himself in a
manner prejudicial to military dis
ci line and good order can be reduced
to the ranks and given a dishonorable
discharge.
The verdict of the military tribunal
was not announced and will not be un-
til the latter part Of the month.

Then, Schrieber says, Kanzler called his attention to the umbrella dripping upon the floor, and told him to put it out in the hall way, and that Kanzler went out into the hall ahead of him, and as Schrie- Der placed the umbrella against the wall, Kanzler grabbed him by the throat and struck him over the head and that he became unconscious, and when he came to, he was at the foot of the stairs, with Kanzler on top of him.
 The story of Kanzler is that, Schrie- Der was sitting at the table when he told him that as it was raining, he would not go to New York. That Schrteber jumped up from the table, knocking his cup from the table, and called him an indecent name. Then Kanzler says, he grabbed hold of Schreiber, telling him while trying to put him out of his room that he would not have anyone talk to him that way, and that when he caught hold of Schrieber that Schrieber hit him in the eye. Kanzler does not remember what happened after Schreiber hit him; that he did not strike Schreiber with anything, but supposes it was done by nail, or when falling down stairs, and both fell down stairs, and he was on top of Schrieber.
