Special to The Herald
VANCOUVER, 3. c., Jan. 11.-News
reached Vancouver this evening of one
Of the most shocking accidents which
has taken place here for some time.
George Alexiene, chief Of a tribe of
Indians at F'airview, B. c., started on
horseback on a journey of eight miles
to town. That was the last seen of
him until the next evening, when a boy
saw the horse running along a fence
and shying and kicking.
When he sought to catch the animal
he saw the body of Alexiene hanging
from stirrup, horribly mutilated. 1t
developed that the saddle had slipped
and, with the foot Of it's rider caught in
the stirrup, the horse roamed the hills
for eighteen hours, dragging the man
over the frozen ground.
The Indian could not be recognized
All that was left of his clothing was a
pair of shoes. One-half of the head had
been ground off, and all the flesh from
the thighs to the head was torn off
An investigation party found pieces
of the body on the rocks in the snow
all along the horses wandering path
which was easily traced by blood.

By AasocIated Press.


WELLS, New, Jan. 11-Southern
Pacific fast mail train No. 9. carry
ing the California and Oriental mail,
was wrecked last night at siding
called Wright, forty miles east of here.
The block signal system saved the
train crew and mail clerks. A west
bound freight train had stopped at a
water tank at Loray, when two box
cars and the caboose broke loose from
the end of the train and started down
the heavy grade to Wright at a high
rate Of speed. When Engineer Noble
saw the block signal display the dan
ger signal indicating that something
was on the block he stopped his train.
He was none too soon, as the wild cars
were heard coming down the grade. 1t
was apparent that an accident could
not be avoided and all the trainmen and
mail clerks sought safety in the sage
brush, hence no one was on the train
when 1t was struck
The impact was severe. but did not
derail the mail train, although the run
away cars were all smashed to splin-
ters.

SPURIOUS BONDS
AMONG ASSETS
BIG CLEVELAND BANKING FIRM
SUsPENDs
Denison, Prior G. Co. nsolvent-Frank
Rockefeller Denies Any Connec-
ton With the Bankrupt
Concern
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, o., Jan. 1.-THE
bankers committee which investigated
the affairs of the banking and broker
age firm of Denison Prior e. Co., which
closed its doors following the suicide
of l.. w. Prior on Tuesday, made the
following authorized statement late this
afternoon:
THE examination of the books of the
firm has not yet proceeded far enough
to make any complete statement pos
sible. Enough has been learned, how
ever to warrant the committee in stat
ing that it is forced to believe that the
firm Of Denison, Prior & Co. is insolV-
ont, but to what extent we cannot as
yet say. We are also convinced that a
number of municipal bonds have been
forged
Frank Rockefeller, referring to re-
ports persistently circulated during the
past two days to the effect that he was
one of the heaviest creditors of Deni-
son, Prior & Co, said today:
For over a year L have not paid to
or received 81 dollar from the firm of
Denison, Prior &; Co.
THE various sensational stories indi-
eating that 1 am heavily involved with
the firm are absolutely without founda-
ton"
The fact that the firm had been using
spurious securities was made known
several days before Prior committed
suicide. Those who had a right to de-
mand a statement of the facts from
Prior made the demand. To their sur
prise they were refused point blank one
word of information and without a tre-
NOR, it is said, Mr.. Prior told them if
they persisted he would take the secret
where no power could wrest 1t from
him. The discovery of the spurious Sc
curities was made by Cleveland men
last week and was promptly put before
Mr. Prior Monday when he returned
from New Yrok.
The only spurious issues yet found
are among the municipal issues and
thus far they are among the securities
from smaller Ohio cities.
Among the former patrons of the firm
the belief is growing that practically
the whole list of available assets have
disappeared and nothing will remain
in the once flourishing business save
the large debts due to the patrons. The
securities in the collateral loans, the
seats owned at the various stock eX-
changes and other things may swell the
assets somewhat, but the traders stand
to suffer severe losses according to the
present outlook.

LULL IN RAILROAD FIGHT
Temporary Injunctions and Stormy
Weather Put Stop to All
Track Laying
BY Associatc1 Press.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 11.-Except
for the presence of armed guards, there
was little suggestion in the vicinity of
the Oakland estuary today of the con-
troversy between the Southern Pacific
and the Western Pacific railroads. The
temporary injunctions issued by United
States Circuit Judge Morrow put an ef-
fectual stop to all track laying and
dredging and had there been any dis
position to ignore the order of the
court the weather conditions would
have prevented a resumption of ope-
rationS. A heavy storm ragged with the
tide running so high that the waves
almost ran over the newly-made land
in places.
The physical aspect of the war is
apparently ended for the present al
though guards are maintained as pre-
cautionary measure and it is believed
that all the warning corporations are
content to rest upon their arms until
the courts have settled the questions
IN dispute.

NO CONSTITUTIONAL ASSEMBLY
Wltte Says Attempt to Make One Will
Be Crushed
BY Associated Press.


ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 11-Premier
Witte, according to the Novoe Vremya,
at his reception yesterday of the dele
cation headed by the mayor of st.
Petersburg, which called on him to re-
quest relaxation of the orders of the
prefect of police against meetings in
the interest of the electoral campaign,
declared emphatically that the govern
ment would not go an inch beyond the
imperial manifesto in the question of
transforming the national assembly into
a constituent assembly for the purpose
of formulating a constitution and will
not tolerate any attempt to do so, which
would make it a revolutionary assem-
bly, and subject to dissolution by the
emperor.
The Novoe Vremya also claims that
the premier announced that the en-
peror had not abrogated autocrauc
power, and could still by an imperial
manifesto broaden, abridge or even
abolish the rights granted to the peo-
pie. Continuing, the paper quotes
Premier Witte as saying that much is
expected of the Manchurian army in
the restoration of order in Russia.
Only the rear forces otherwise the re-
servists, comprising 20 per cent of the
army, are demoralized The remain
der are in splendid condition.
At Premier Witte's chancellory to-
day it was denied that the premier
stated that the imperial manifesto of
October 80 had not modified the en-
perors relations with his subjects.
The premier, it was asserted, said
that the emperor's title of autocrat
remained, pointing/ out that it origin
ated when Muscovy was freed from
che yoke of the Tartars and Mongoles,
which only indicated independence of
foreign control and not unlimited
power over his subjects.

CONVICTED ON
HAZING CHARGE
TWO CADETS BELIEVED TO HAVE
BEEN FOUND GUILTY
These Are Foster and Marzoni of the
First CIass-Decatur Testi-
fies in His own
Behalf
BY Associated Press

By ASSOClaIeO Press
ANNAPOLIS, Md. Jan. 11.-There is
good reason for the belief that Mid
shipman Worth w. Foster of New
Albany, Ind, and Peterson B. Marzoni
of Pensacola Fla. have been found
guilty of hazing.
Both of the nidshipmen belong to
the first class and would have grad
uated on February 12. They are re-
garded as good students in general and
each had a speciality. Foster devised
an Improvement in the form of war
nose used on torpedoes and Marzoni is
considered the best linguist in the
class.
The last stages, except the argu-
ments of counsel and of the judge ad-
vocate, were completed this afternoon
in the case of Midshipman Stephen De-
catur. jr., charged by a naval court
martial with hazng. The accused oc-
cupied the stand for about three quar-
ters of an hour and his testimony is
regarded as having strengthened his
case.
Decatur was questioned as to the
facts in regard to all the specifica-
tions alleged against him. He denied
sending Fourth Classman Chester S.
Roberts to room in which were upper
classmen to deliver the message. III
he had been dog do you think he
would have done it in this way?"
He aslo denied having ever ordered
Charles w. Mailey to bring him
breakfast
The accused was next examined as
to the facts alleged in the last speci-
fication, which was the only one under
the act of 1904 and Gin which encour-
aging or countenanCing hazing" is
made dismissal offense. Inasmuch as
Decatur had already been examined
upon this incident in his former trial
and had made admissions which caused
the academy authorities to believe that
his conviction on this specification was
probable. the accused started with a
handicap. Decatur said:
"I told Church to report to my room
because he had laughed in the ranks
and / wished to reprimand him. When
he came / was standing in the other
part of the room talking to a number
of midshipmen and | did not take par
ticuar notice of him. 1 do not remem-
ber that / said anything to him at all,
but ! remember that some one said
something to him about getting in the
closet Church went into the closet,
but l do not know what he did. in
there. He stayed there about three
minutes"
Both the judge advocate and the
counsel for the defense announced that
| they would produce no more witnesses.
The court then adjourned until tomor-
row
