Mr.. AND MRS. MINER TALK

That $4,000 Story Is
Fake

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-The Journal
today says:
Mrs. Yerkes-Mizner today submitted
to an interview. She said: II want that
man dropped out of my memory. I no
longer care for him. He besieges me
to take him back. Why should 1? 1
have found the horrible mistake have
made and will abide by my cooler, more
deliberate judgment.
HE was after my money. Will he
get it? Never. He pleads and implores,
but / will never yield. He can never
change my mind. / do not wish to do
him harm or to criticise him, but my
final words are that L am done with
him."
The Journal also interviewed Mizner,
who said:
Money never cut any figure in our
affairs. The story that 1 accepted $780,
900 to quit my wife is a malicious and
scandalous falsehood. L still have a
most affectionate and respectful esteem
for her. l see my wife for a little chat
every day. Probably 1 can thank the
newspapers as much as anything for
the fact that my wife and 1 are not
together this very minute"

FAST BOATS ENGAGE IN
EXCITING MATCH RACE
TRIP TO AVALON AND RETURN
DECIDES DISPUTE
NestrelIa Leads Dementia From San
Pedro to Catalina Island in Almost
Record Time-Encounter Wind and
Tide Coming Back
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SAN PEDRO, Feb. 25.-An exciting
launch race took place today between
two gasoline boats of equal powers.
The Nestrella, owned and sailed by
Capt. Al. Larsen of East San Pedro,
and the Dementia, owned and sailed
by Capt. C. f. Fulton of Terminal
Island, were the contestants.
The race was from San Pedro to
Avalon and return. The start was
made from San Pedro at 10:30 and
the NestrellaS reached Avalon at 1:42,
three minutes ahead of the other
launch, in two hours and twelve min
utes. The return was started at 2:30,
the Nestrella reaching its destina ton
safely at 6.33, with the Dementia eight
minutes behind.
The wind and tide were against the
boats coming back.
There has been much rivalry between
the owners and hackers of each of these
two boats as to which was the speed
ier, so now it is settled satisfactorily,
it being conceded that the Nestrella
has the better engine.

FORBIDDEN CITY
OOUBLY GUARDED
DISPLAY OF FORCE APPARENT
IN PEKlNG
Chinese Warned Of Departure From
Japan Of Revolutionary Stu-
dents-Foreigners Apparently
Have No Apprehenslons
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
PEKING, Feb. 25. - The guards
around the forbidden city have been
doubled and all the palaces and resi-
dences of high officials are especially
guarded
The police who have hitherto carried
batons are now armed with rifles.
All the officials that are accessible
either refuse any information or pro-
fess ignorance of the reasons for the
precautions that have been taken and
as a result many rumors are afiuat.
The chief of police and other off,
cials were telephoned to report to the
palace and the display of force inn
mediately followed their conference.
Possibly the only cause is the alarm
of the empress dowager over the prevail
ence Of revolutionary rumors recently.
The Chinese minister at Toxic a few
days ago telegraphed the government
warning it against several revolution
ary students who were departing from
Jaapn to China.
Find Dynamite
Two packages of dynamite have been
found in the street outside the gate
leading to the palace. Apparently they
were dropped by some one afraid to
carry them. One report finding credence
is that there is quarrel afoot within
the palace between the partisanS of the
empress dowager and the emperor over
the selection of an heir to the throne
but it is not confirmed.
All the Information obtainable indi-
Gates that the military measures at the
palace were only precautionary and
were taken because of the widely circu-
lated ruors that there would be trou-
BILE here Saturday. The finding of the
packages of dynamite outside the pal
ace gates, which is somewhat mystey-
ious, probably caused uneasiness, as
the court had been nervous since the
outrage in the Peking railway station
on September "a of last year, when
a missile was exploded inside a private
car on the track carrying one of the
four missions ordered abroad to study
foreign political methods, killing four
persons and wounding twenty Others.
Hotbed of Gossip
The reports of trouble within the pal
ace cannot be corroborated, but thaY
probably are founded on gossip, for
which Pe6ing is always hotbed, or
are based on the strengthening of the
palace guards.
The police appeared without their ri
files tonight.
The city was never quieter. There has
not been the slightest sign of feeling
shown against foreigners nor have the
foreigners here any apprehensions.
Several parties from the foreign lega-
tions are taking advantage of the mild
weather to make long excursions into
the country.
The canard that Saturday had been
designated the day for disturbances are
said to have emanated in the United
States.
The kilograms describing the military
preparations of the American govern
ment for trouble in China have been
widely published in the Chinese news
papers and are considered as decidedly
unfriendly.

dred children, who We're being enter
tained this evening with a moving pic
ture show in st. Mary's school hall,
were thrown into a panic by the acct
dental ignition of a roll of celluloid
films.
John Scherrer of Chicago, who gives
exhibitions of views of the passion
play, Oberammergau, was in charge.
Slamming the lid shut he started to
run from the hall, but could not get
out because Of a jam of children at
the three exits.
The stairway at the south end of
the hail. toward which they rushed,
became crowded with children, who
fell down the steps and rolled over
each other. 1t is estimated that about
fifty were injured by being trampled
upon, but none was seriously hurt and
no bones were broken.
An exit at the back of the hall was
locked and a number of children
drilled to seek that place of escape
made a rush for it but could not get
out.
