to leave the country before September g. This
information was brought here to- night by r. A

Americans were killed by Mexican miners. was
only the beginning Of trouble which threatens

death Of many Americans in the outlying prov

According to Sturdevant this society has been
forming for six months or more and now seems

A. L. SHAFFER KILLED.
AUTO HITS LOCOMOTIVE.
John S. Phippss Uncle Meets In
slant Death at SayUiUe.

Sayville, Long Island, July 12.-Harvey l..
Shaffer, Of Manhattan. uncle Of John S. Phipps
and a brother-in-law OF Henry s. Phipps. the
Pittsburg steel man. was instantly killed this
morning at the North Main street crossing OF
the Long Island Railroad here. His chauneur'
Andrew Peter, was injured. but not seriously.
Mr Shaffer lived with his nephew, but since the
latter has been in Europe he had been staying at
the Hotel Manhattan. in Manhattan. or at Mr.
Phipps's country home, in Westbury. His city
home is at No. East 9th street, Manhattan.
Mr.. Shaffer started this morning from the
Phipps home, in Westbury, to take a ride in his
nephew's big touring car. He was accompanied
only by Peter. The place where the accident oc-
Cured is a quarter Of mile east Of the Say
willie station. The automobile was travelling east,
in the direction of PatchOgue. There are no gates
at the crossing and no signals to give warning
of danger Mrs. Alice Singer, who lives near the
crossing, says she heard the 10 o'clock express
approaching the car passed her home and
she called out to the men, Stop, or you'll be
killed" but they paid no attention to her. The
train. which does not stop at Sayville, was going
at the rate OF forty-flve miles an hour.
The chauffeur, after the accident, said he
heard no whistle and had no idea that train
was near until he was almost it. He made
a desperate effort to turn the motor car to one
side. but was unsuccessful, and the machine
crashed sideWise into the locomotive. The big
car was almost demolished. and Mr. Shaffer was
hurled with terrific force into heap of railroad
ties Almost every bone in his body was broken
and he must have been killed instantly. The
chauffeur landed on a soft spot of ground and
escaped with nothing serious than bruises
Drs. Ross and Knckbaum were called but on
their arrival pronounced Mr. Shaffer dead
The engineer Of the train stopped as quickly
as possible, and the conductor and some of the
passengers went back to the crossing to learn
just what had happened Peter. after giving the
name of the dead man and his own. started of
for the waiting train. which he boarded. He
went as far as Jamaica. where he went to his
home, in RosIyn
Mr.. Shaffer's body removed to Raynor's
morgue where it was taken in charge by a
friend of the dead man. who had come from
Manhattan on hearing Of the accident. Coroner
Savage gave a permit for the removal OF the
body to Westbury.
Mr.. Shaffer was about forty-five years old and
single. II is said he was not engaged in business

Sweeting however. ran to the end of the bar and,
the sand yielding slipped off into seven feet of
water. Her cries brought Hazel Sweeting to her
aid In trying TO pull Lucille back on the sand
bar she. too. fell into the deep water. Another
child went to her assistance and slipped in. and
so on until seven of the eight children were in
deep water. Some Of them drowned helplessly,
while two or three vainly tried to climb back
on the sandbar out of deep water.
Ruth Klersey. seeing the fate Of her COM
panions. then ran down the road crying to Mrs.
Usher. Overtaling her when almost home Mrs.
Usher left her baby in the road and ran back
to aid the children. She managed to get hold Of
the hair of two Of them and pulled them out Of
the water, but it too late TO save their lives.
The other bodies were recovered later, while
hundreds of people gathered on the river bank to
watch the sad task.

Special to The Herald.
SANTA BARBARA, Feb. 16. - Not
gold, but platinum, is the latest report
from the mining explorations that have
been carried on for several days in the
chicken yard of the w. M. Coats home
in the western part of this city.
The residents of that part of the city
lying beyond the polo field have for
several days been considerably worked
up over the report that flour gold was
being washed out of a small shaft on
the Coats homestead. and it was re-
ported that assays from a government
assayer in Los Angeles showed that
the metal ran over $4,000 to the ton.
Other assays were made of dirt taken
from the Coats shaft by George Bates
and Others and no trace of gold was
discovered
The reported discovery of gold within
the city limits was widely circulated.
Two mining experts arrived in the city
yesterday and during the day made an
extensive examination of the Coats
mine. They also walked over the hills
and searched through the Breakstead
tract in search of the yellow metal.
Mr.. Coats report is that they dis
covered only small traces Of gold, but
another mineral, which is even more
valuable. They washed out good colors
of platinum, which is valued at from
$22 to $2S an ounce. No assays have
as yet been made for this metal, but
the Ross brothers claim there is no
doubt about its being found in paying
quantities. They will continue their
examinations for several days.

By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
BERLIN, Feb 16.-The emperor has
surprised the German people, especially
strict constructionistS of the lese
majeste laws, by authorizing the cir
cluation of French collection of car
features of himself which jealous GUS
toms officers on the French frontier
had seized.
John Carteret is a collector of the
caricatures of all countries, some of
them American. He published vol
ume of reproductions of the most
notable of the caricatures which he
entitled He" When Carteret learned
that the production would not be al
lowed to enter Germany, he wrote to
the emperor, quoting Frederick the
Greats letter to Voltaire, saying he
was the last person who would forbid
caricatures of himself. as they gave
so much pleasure to his friends. Car
teret added that he trusted the en-
peror would follow the example of
Frederick the Great and not that of
Napoleon III, who sought to suppress
all jokes in France. The emperor di-
rected Finance Minister Rheinbaben
to instruct the customs authorities to
admit the work and ordered the min
istry of justice not to prosecute for
insulting his majesty.
1t is recalled in this case that Fred
erick the Great, while riding in Ber-
lin street, observed a caricature of
himself hanging from the upper story
of a house and gave orders that it be
lowered so that passers-by could see
IL better.

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb 16.-In view
of recent events in China, the Russian
government, like that of the United
States, has found 1t advisable to take
the necessary military measures to be
prepared for all eventualities. Though
the foreign office scouts the alarmist
tone of the Russian press and declared
to the Associated Press this afternoon
that no news had been received to
excite apprehension, the council for
national defense, which has been pre-
pairing to reduce the forces in the far
east to a minimum, takes more se-
rious view of the situation and is re-
vlsing it's plans for the evacuation OF
the armies in Manchuria, in order to
retain there a force sufficient to main-
tain Russia's special interests on a
plane with the other powers"
According to the Slovo, the govern
ment is in possession of information to
the effect that China is making war
preparations in which she is supported
almost openly by Japan, and that an
attack on Russia's Ussuri possession
is feared. Fears, the Slovo says, are
also entertained over the Chinese de-
signs to overthrow the Russian in
fuenceS in Chinese Turkestan that
grew up in consequence to the special
trade and military arrangements in
stituted before the breaking out of the

CLEANING UP THE
NEW YORK POLICE
BINGHAM WORKS WONDERS IN
SHORT TIME
Saves Many Thousands Of Dollars a
Year so City by AbollshIng "snap"
Jobs Enjoyed by the
Patrolmen
special to The Herald.


NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-Just six
weeks ago today General Theodore A..
Bingham started in to clean up the po-
lice force Of this city, and even the
most pessimlstlc admit he has worked
wonders in that time. Already he has
saved to the taxpayers $4,000 worth of
policemen year by abolishing 600
SNAP" jobs in the department and
sending the men back to patrolling
beats, protecting life and property
Some of these details were sinecures Of
the most ridiculous kind. Between pol
itics and favoritism the city for years
was forced to spend nearly a million
dollars annually for salaries of men
who did no police duty for the pay
they drew.
Commissioner Bingham believes every
policeman Is a watchman and as such
should be kept at his post whenever he
is supposed to be on duty. There are
still 1922 men on the police force doing
detail duty and Bingham is indignant
to think so many policemen are still
working for some one else and not for
him. Bingham is also showing up the
force severely and making astonishing
transfers. 1t is reported he is being
secretly advised by former Inspector
Byrnes.
