SANDERS WILL
ARRIVE TO-DAY
HAVING IN HIS CUSTODY p, J.
HOLSTER, WANTED HERE
FOR PASSING CHECKS.

Deputy Sheriff Frank Sanders. who
went to New Orleans Tuesday night,
will arrive home this morning, hay-
ing in his custody p. J. HOllister. the
plumber who is wanted for passing
scme worthless checks on saloon men
and others. A wire was received
nom him yesterday stating that he
would leave New Orleans Thurs lay
night, and would arrive home FriLay
morning.
Mr.. Sanders has evidently received
requisition papers for bringing Hol-
lister back TO Florida, or ne would
not have wired that he would leave
New Orleans. Before departing he
made application for reQuisition
papers, and yesterday a wire was re-
ceived stating that these had been
granted and forwarded to him il.
New Orleans.
Holiister has admitted to detectives
in New Orleans that he passed the
worthless checks, but claims that he
was drinking at the time and did Iot
know what he was doing.

MASTER OF BARK
SUICIDES At
SEA
Captain FaIk Places Moose Around
Neck, Handouts Himself and
Jumps from Chair,

When the German bark Gesine
from Hamburg, with a cargo Of cement
came into port yesterday with flags
at half mast, the first mate, in COM
mand of the ship, reported the death
by suicide Of Captain Falk, who took
his life when the vessel had been to
sea about two weeks. The report was
received with much regret in Pen
sacola, as the captain was Wen known
here among shipping men, having
made many voyages to the port, and
had commanded the Gesine for many
years.
The cause Of the rash act, it is stat
ed, was the fact that the master of
the ship became despondent over the
vessel going aground on a reef in
March, and ais over some money mat
ters and accounts of the ship.
The Gesine sailed out Of Hamburg
in March, but when thirteen days at
sea she went on a reef and in order
TO float her il was necessary to unload
part Of the cargo, and she put back
into Hamburg for repairs and to re-
load. There the owners, it is stated,
became cOgnizant of an alleged short
age in the accounts of the master, and
while there was a difference between
them, he took the ship out when she
was ready for sea.
He was despOndent from the day she
sailed and grew more morose as the
voyage progressed. Finally when
out about two weeks he suicided.
This ne accomplished by first Sc
curely fastening his cabin door, in
which he committed the deed. Then
placing a rope around his neck and
attaching the other end to a joist or
rafter, he climbed upon a chair and
leaped OF, first securely locking his
hands together with a pair of hand
cuffs which he had taken with him into
the cabin, and which made 1t impossi.
bic for him to assist himself should
he, in death agonies, endeavor to un-
fasten the rope from around his neck
or assist himself.
He was found cold and stiff in death
by some Of the crew several hours
later, and was buried at sea.

SPREAD
TO COT TON
TRUCKERS
On |. & n. WhaNeS, and this Has
Stopped Cotton SCreWmen-
Many Vessels Idle.

The strike of the common laborers
on the Louisville and Nashville
wharves Wednesday, yesterday spread
to the cotton truckers and warehouse
men, and as the cotton screwmen at
work in the ships could get no cotton,
they too were compelled to cease
work, and as a result some three or
four vessels are idle so far as this
class of work is concerned.
The laborers all demand an in
crease in wages from $3.50 to $500
per day. The company is willing to
compromise by giving them $1.75 per
day. but this has been refused.
Several hundred Of the men work
ing in loading phosphate rock, kainit,
etc. and who are known as the COM
mon laborers first maze the demand
and walked out. Yesterday they
were followed by the cotton truckers
and the warehouse men, whiSh COM
pletelv ties up all the work being
done at the wharf except the loading
of lumber, as the cotton screwmen
had to cease working in the ships
yesterday morning on account of no
cotton being delivered to them.
There are now a number of steam
ers at the two wharves waiting for
cargoes. and are idle except those
taking on lumber, and it is probable
that they will remain so until the
company meets the demands of the
1nen, who seem determined to have
the increase in wages.
The men claim that to work in
pbosphate in the summer is worth
every cent of $500 per Gay. and that
they will not return until it is
promised. The company was already
several hundred men short In fact
efforts had been made to get men,
but had failed. and the strike coming
at this time has paralyzed business
to some extent on the wharves.
The German bark Gesine, which
would give employment to a large
number of men in unloading her cargo
of 5000 barrels of cement, will this
morning commence work, but will
use the sailors on board to unload the
cargo.

MRS. THAW DECLINED TO AN
sWER QUESTIONS BEARING ON
MURDER-BoDY OF WHITE
BURIED ON LONG ISLAND
THlAW's ACT ONLY SHORTENED
WHITES LIFE TWO YEARS.
By Associated Press


New York, June 2S.-EYents follow
ed close in the ThawtWhite murder
case to-day. The proceedings began
with a coroner's inquest which con-
sumed scarcely half an hour and the
jury used only three minutes in find
ing a verdict, declaring that White
was killed by a gunshot wound in
ficted by Thaw. The presentation to
the grand jury followed without de-
lay ana by early afternoon an indict-
nent was found charging Thaw with
murder in the first degree. The
prisoner was sent back to the Tombs
without bail and arrangements will
be made for him to plead to the in
dictment tomorrow
Through the entire proceedings
Thaw appeared the least interested
person in the criminal court building.
He laughed with counsel and seemed
wholly unconcerned.
Mrs. Thaw was taken before the
grand jury, but it is understood she
declined to answer any questions
bearing on the murder and no pres
sure was used to force her to testify.
The body of Stanford White was
buried to-day at ST. James, Long
Island.
Stanford Whites life was shortened
but Two years at the most by Thaw's
act on Monday night in the opinion
OF the physicians performing the
autopsy to-day which shows that
White suffered from Bright disease
incipient tuberculosis and fatty de-
generation Of the liver.
