STRUCK A LIVE WIRE.
Undertaken and Coroner Had Live.
 ly Run This Morning.


 Medical Examiner Graves and Un- dertaker Mulville made the run of their lives this morning, each wing with the other to see which would reach lower Baldwin street first. The doctor used his auto car, while the undertaken had to content himself with such speed as he could make with horse flesh, and that was not very bad. Indeed, it is said that he got there ahead of the doctor, and that's where the medical examiner had the laugh on him. Both received a hurried call from the telephone company to go to Baldwin street, near the end of the trolley line, where T. H. Mccormack, member of Foreman Mulligan's gang, had been electrocuted. Superintendent Veith told both to hurry up because he wanted to take the best possible care of the body and didn't care to leave it on the ground any longer than he could help. When the ex. aminer and the undertaker got there they found that the man was not dead at all. although he was badly burned on the hands and was un' conscious for some time after receiv ing the shock. Lunny's ambulance was then called and the patient wa: removed to the Waterbury hospital where it was said this afternoon that while the injuries are serious the man will recover. Mccormack came in contact with a live wire whilt operating on one of the big poles He was rendered unconscious, an( although he was relieved withou much delay his fellow workmer thought him dead when they tool him of the wire.

ASTOUNDING CHARGE
 IN PORTER CASE
or Spiriting Away TerritOry's Wit
 nesses and of Bribery.

Tucson May 22.-(Special. )-Several sensations were sprung by Eugene s. Ives, special prosecutor for the terri tory, and District Attorney Dick this forenoon in the district court when the case of J. N Porter, president of the First National bank of Globe, was called. Porter is charged with giving perjured testimony in a civil case in volving a cattle transaction.
 The territory wanted a continuance of the case as the main witnesses could not be found. although Sheriff Pacheco spent eight days in a search in Gila county. Continuance was finally grant, ed after heated arguments between territorial counsel and E. J. Edwards of Globe and William Lowell of Tucson. counsel for Porter.
 Ives made the startling statement that Porter had spirited away wit nesses material to the territory's case. The much-wanted witness who has disappeared is William Lawrence. Ives, shaking his finger dramatically at Por- ter, exclaimed: Are the ends of jus tice to be defeated because a rich de- fendant can spirit away witnesses ?"
 District Attorney Dick came forward with another sensation. He informed the court that from reliable party he had learned that Porter handed a wit ness money last evening at the Santa Rita hotel, remarkng: If you need more call on me" Dick could not say whether the witness was for the prose cution or the defense
 Porter's counsel denied the astound- ing assertions. The case will be heard at the October term of court.

AUTOMOBILE ROBBERS
 OF THE RELIEF FUND
The Bills Sent in to the San Francis.
 co Committee of Forty.

San Francisco, May 22.-The extor- tionate charge for automobile hire dur ing the first two weeks following the fire is likely to develop into a scandal of huge proportions before the finance committee finishes auditing the ac- counts. In the tabulated statement filed with the committee of forty on Saturday there appears a charge of $157 80 for automobile service. It Is a well known fact that there are not more than 1000 machines in San Fran cisco and that all of them could be bought outright for a sum not much in excess of the amount charged for the hire of probably half of that number
 Only 129 claims were presented to cover this sum. The average rental a day was $35 but in many instances the charge was even higher. What the committee will do with this item is still undetermined. In the same table is a statement of charges for milk, butter eggs, bread, vegetables. drugs, hay gran and clothing. The total cost of these necessaries does not equal the cost of the hire for automobiles. Some of the garages have relieved the com mittee from embarrassment by gener- ously donating the amount of the de- mand to the relief fund.

There were 500 men in the building at the time, and the families of the wOrkmen in the vicinity were thrown into panic.
 Calls were sent for assistance. The police, the sailors of warships nearby in the Hudson gave aid in the rescue. The explosion was heard for miles. Many are injured and will probably die.
 The rescuers found that twelve men were imprisoned in the burning debris and frantic efforts were made to rescue them. A fireboat assisted in quenching the flames

Denunciation of the Republican House
 Machine.

Washington, May 22.-The so-called republican machine" was the subject of a scathing denunciation in the house of representatives today at the hands of MT Randen of Texas, who said that the leaders of the house who consti- tute and run the machine" had done absolutely nothing except to make a hypocritical pretense as to some things and to unblushingly advocate the stand pat doctrine in other things.
 The completeness with which the re- publican party has deserted the peo- ple's interests is apparent in its treat congress" said MT. Randell. He said the attitude of the republican party toward the territories is another proof that it is unworthy to rule.
 "The- sisterhood of states" he said should make common cause in re buking the cruel and outrageous crime comitted by the republican party. Inn pelled by fear, the machine may yet admit one state, but the people will understand the motive and should not stay the hand of retribution.
 '"The machine leaders have been de- ceiving the great mass of voters who put them in power. The rank and file of the republican party wants jus tice and if only they would examine the record of the representatives, the averaging hand of an outraged constit- uency would strike down these stand pat statements and have a new deal as well as a square one"
