TO MOVE REFUGEES

In response to letter from the Re
lief and Red Cross Fund Corporation.
the Park Commissioners yesterday at
their regular meeting decided definite
ly TO remove the occupants of tents
and the tents themselves from Lafay-
cite Square as soon as practicable. The
Aed Cross Corporation asked the Cem-
missioners to aid them in compeIlinp
the refugees to leave the tents and
occupy the houses the corporation has
vacant at South Park and at Efgh
teenth and Dolores streets. The action
Of the Park Commissioners foreshad-
ows the removal of refugees from Jef-
ferson Square. Hamilton Square and
Alta Plaza in the order named.
L. Howard Cosper appeared before
the board on behalf of the residents of
Lafayette Square and asked that the
refugees be given their own time in
which to vacate. He claimed II an
injustice to drive the tent-dwellers into
houses in another part of the city and
said that IT would work a hardship
upon many who are not self-support-
ing Commissioner Lloyd said that le
gally the people were trespassers. but
that If any were unfortunate, no hard
ship would be placed upon them. He
added that from information he had.
most Of the occupants of the tents
were earning good wages, and one-fifth
OF them were single men and able to
secure rooms elsewhere.

LOST RELIEF COIN
HAS BEEN PAID

Failing to find any trace of the lost
Sl0S5.50 that was sent through it from
Searchlight, near Los Angeles, to
Mayor Schmitz for the relief commit
tee, the Wells Fargo Express Company
paid over the amount to the Relief
Corporation yesterday morning and is
conducting a thorough investigation
through its detective department con-
cerning the fate of the money. An
other sum. $500, sent from Baltimore
TO Mayor Schmitz by mail is also miss
ing and the postofice authorities are
making a search for it.
In an interview with General Man
ager Christianson of the express COM
pany yesterday afternoon the latter
stated that ii had no record whatever
concerning the disposal of the money
and concluded to pay the amount, for
which they were responsible While
he does not think that anybody con-
nected with Mayors office received the
money, he is unable to suggest what
might have become of it.
You see," he explained everything
was in such confusion at that time that
it is impossible to say what became of
the money. OF the great amount we
handled, however, that was the only
package that remains unaccounted for.
There were several packages delivered,
in the confusion, for which we never
have later proved that the deliveries
were properly made"
DO you handle money separately
from other packages, and do Sou take
more care in handling it than with
merchandise" he was asked.
THINKS MONEY WAS STOLEN
Christensen explained in reply that
money had special attention and there
was much less possibility of its being
lost than any other kind of material
transported. He said that If ii had
simply been mislaid it would probably
have been found, and that it seemed
more probable that the money had been
appropriated by some person than that
ii had been mislaid. He said he had
not given up the hope of finding it, al
though he could offer no clew to it's
fate.
I'VE are not concerned with the fate
Of the original money" said James d.
Phelan, head of the Relief Corporation.
yesterday. What we wanted was the
money, and now that we have it, that
ends our concern. Out of the $4,000, 900
sent to US, this money from Search
light and the $500 by mail from Ralti-
more is all that has gone astray, and
l think, considering everything, that
we have been lucky in that regard"
The money was sent from Search
light on April 25, and that was after
the relief committee had been organ
lied. A few days after the money was
due in San Francisco inquiry was start
ed regarding its location by the relief
committee, which has continually kept
the matter stirred UP until the receipt
of the money yesterday
No satisfactory explanation can be
made for the disappearance of the 5000
from w w Parker of Baltimore, but it
is not the opinion of the local post
office authorities that the letter con-
tanning ii was ever delivered. The
matter is now being taken up at the
postofice in Baltimore.

Gildrick. First Assistant H. S. Derrickson and Second Assist ant H. W.

 The tug boat is only ninety-six feet in length and has a gross tonnage of only 2.G00 pounds. drawing but twelve feet. The hazardous trip was made with a crew of nine men and on the Atlantic side of the trip, the tug and the lives of the crew were given up for lost time and time again While of the South American coast the tug would first be standing on its bow and then on its stern. The fury of Nep- tune was at its worst the further south they proceeded, and the little tug-boat boboed up and down on the bosom of the mighty deep like an egg she'll It was only by using ali the strategy of sea-craft that Captain Mcdonald finally rounded the Horn. Here the bo,t was in the greatest dan ger, but as the tiny vessel glided upon the broad bosom of the Pacific they had done what no other crew or boat had succeeded in doing before. They had brought the smallest vessel around the horn that was ever known, and accomplished feat which sea- faring experts have time and again said was impossible.

YAQu| COUNTRY CONTROLLED l.
 BY GOVT. l
Wright Says Government Has Situation in That Part Well
 in Hand Now. E

Marshall P. Wright, a prominent American mining man, who has been operating in Mexico, arrived in the city on business of importance, and will leave this morning for Cananea.
 Wright has been operating in all of the different famous mining districts of Mexico, and is heavily interested in the Yaqui country. When asked about the conditions in that part of the country at the present time, Mr. Wright said:
 Conditions in the Yaqui country are very much better now than they were some time ago. I have owned mining property in that part of Mexi- co for years, and never had any trou- ble with the Indians until a compara- lively short time ago. Of course, there is no railroad through that part of the country as yet, and it was nee essary for us to have all our provisions taken into camp overland. We were employing about sixty or seventy-five Yaquis at the time, and, never having any trouble with them, naturally sup posed that the rumors about their dep relations were greatly exaggerated. Well. to a certain extent the reports were greatly exaggerated as far as the loss of life was concerned, but very often we would receive no supplies on account of the freiehters having been robbed bv the Indians It became such a frequent occurrence that we finally shut down the camp. This matter is now well under the control nt the Mexican government. General Torres is well acquainted with the Indian mode of warfare, and has the situation well in hand. The Yaqufs have had experience with General Torres in the past. and they know very well that they can not hope to make much headway with him.
 We will not open our camp in that district until the railroad. which is now under way, reaches a point suffi- ciently close to afford us a means of supplving the camp with provisions and machinery.
 Mining was never as prosperous in Mexico as it is at the present time, and many large mines are being open ed up The Llanos de Gro property, owned by Col. Epes Randolph and as- sociates, is certainly wonderful bed Of gold. I do not doubt but what even better results will be obtained the deeper they go. At the present time they are only working the sur face. and are cleaning up fine output each month.
 At the present time I am in the city in connection with some mining business, but as the matter is not en- tirely closed there is not much to say. The property is in the Cananea zone, and lies directly adjoining the Cana nea Central property. The Mexican corporation. under which we hold our titles, is the Promontorio Mining Com pany, and it is for the purpose of or ganizing the American corporation that I am in the city at the present time The Mexican corporation is organized with a capitalization oi s10,000, and as soon as the American corporation is formed the stock of the Mexican company will be taken over We have 250 acres, and think that it is valuable property"

 Mrs. Lostanado lives on Naco Road, short distance below the Cuban store. She was suffering from a headache yesterday afternoon, and the pain became so accute last evening that she decided to take one of the headache tablets she had used before She purchased box of Stern's Head ache Cure. The directions on the box say that a person should let one of the wafers dissolve in glass of wa ter. and take it when thoroughly scftened If relief is not found in an hour, the directions say to take an- otter wafer Mrs. Lostanado had been suffering severe pain and took one of the waters without effect. She took second one, and that did not afford her the desired relief, so she took a. third; all three doses were taken within an hour. In a very short time after taking the last wafer Mrs. Losta-
 
 nado was gasping for breath, and was black in the face. Dr. Cassady was hurriedly summoned and said that the woman had been poisoned. He ad- ministered stimulants, and before he left the woman's condition was very much improved. The doctor was ask ed last night if he thought the woman would recover, and he said that ne thought she would.
