ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. SO.--As a
result of the investigation which the
press campaign and public indignation
have compelled the ministry to make
into the Lidval contract for the pur-
chase of grain intended for famine re-
lief, in which Assistant Minister of the
Interior GurSo is alleged to be in

On account of the disappearance of
Lidval, the chief grain buyer, in the

purchase and shipment of the sorely
needed grain have been suspended and
considerable time must elapse before
the new contracts be drawn up.
The Zemstvo convention of the neigh

TEMPTED
MAN

A man giving his name as Bert ].
Williams, rooming at the Los Angeles
lodging house, AIS North Main street,
and whom the police think may know
something of the work of breaking and
looting, mail boxes in Los Angeles
yesterday, was arrested early this
morning and booked on charge Of
suspicion.
Williams was seen in the hallway be-
side the office desk OF the Searchlight
rooming house, 202 North Main street,
looking over a large number of letters
addressed to various people.
Deputy Constables Arnett and
Doughit had followed the man while
seeking evidence against him on a
minor offense, and stood by watching
closely as he scanned the letters.
Finally Williams looked up, and Sec
ing his detectors, attempted to run, but
was caught.
When taken to the central station
Williams stoutly denied that he had
opened other peoples letters, and said
they were old ones that belonged to
friends who had placed them in his
care. The dates of the epistles, how
ever, were nearly all recent, and dis
puted his claims.
When this fact was called to his at
tention he became frantic in his efforts
to assert his innocence of any wrong
doing.
Arnett and Doughit say they have
been "spotting" Williams since Thurs
day night, when they allege he was
seen in the Richmond rooming house
on Commercial street, begging from
the inmates.

PARDON BALLOT BOX SUFFERS
Steffens and Wyman Freed in Order
to Testify
RY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
SACRAMENTO, Nov. 30.-at the re-
quest of Attorney Heney, Gov. Par
dee has pardoned Steffens and Wyman,
the ballot box suffers, in order that
they may testify against Abraham
Ruef and Mayor Schmitz of San Fran
cisco.
SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. SO.-Stef-
fens and Wyman were sentenced to five
years imprisonment for stufflng the
ballot boxes at the local primaries held
a short time before the last election of
Mayor Schmitz. Through the result of
this primary election Abe Ruef secured
control of the county Republican con-
yention.
Charges were made that Steffens and
Wyman, who were acting as election Of
ficers, had stuffed the ballot box in fa-
vor of certain delegates. They were
tried before Judge Lawler and convict
ed and sentenced to the penitentiary.
When Judge Lawler came up for re-
election November last, Ruef and his
adherents made a bitter and deter
mined fight against him, and it was
the nomination OF two men as candi-
dates for superior judge on both the
Republican and Democratic tickets in
order to make LAWYERS defeat GER
tain, that brought the present prose-
cutlons for graft to a focus. Iawler
was elected judge and already some of
the cases of some of the men indicted
have been assigned to him for trial.
Wyman was a municipal employe
and Steffens was employed by r. A.
Maestretti. then president of the board
OF public works. 1t is supposed that
in return for their pardons they will
tell what they know about the alleged
offenses of city employees.
Assistant District Attorney Heney,
when asked today regarding the cases
Of Steffens and Wyman, refused to dis
cuss them or to give any information
indicating whether or not they would
appear as witnesses in the cases now
under investigation by the jury.

SAN FRANCISCO NEEDS COAL
Only Recently So Ton Advance
Was Made by Retail
Dealers
BY Associated Press.


SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 3O-San
Francisco is threatened with a short
age of coal. 1t is estimated that there
are less than 1000 tons of domestic
coal in this city now.
The Titania is due here Monday from
Victoria with 5000 tons, but that is only
a drop in the bucket. The Sheilah will
make port next Thursday with 5000
tons, but by that time the 5000 tons
of the Titania will have been used.
In other words, the 10000 or $4,000
tons of coal due here next~week will
last San Francisco about a week and
unless vessels begin to arrive in this
port loaded with coal the people may
be reduced to extremities.
Many importers, interviewed on the
subject, admit the possibility of the
public suffering for a time from a
shortage of fuel, but express the hope
that something will occur to relieve
the local situation.
One prominent local dealer says
that although the coal supply is very
short there is no danger of a famine
and that arrivals aggregating 10000
tons are expected here shortly.

taller to the consumer was made re-

1RATE WOMEN ATTACK

GHETTO RESIDENTS SAY PRICES
q ARE TOO HIGH
;By Associated Press.

NEW York. Nov. 30.--A war on the
butchers of the east side Ghetto has
sbeen started by women residents of
.the district as a protest against the
high price of meat.
= Recently the butchers put up the
ssprice of meat 2 cents pound, and in
s.verbal explanation of the act said the
packers had again raised the prices
to the butchers and they had to fol-
.low suit.
= 1t is easy to create trouble among
'the excitable residents of the Ghetto
9and the action of the butchers was
.squickly resented.
J. Housewives met on the streets and
.idiscussed the subject, and from this
ut was but step to form Indignation
Greetings.
j. Such meeting was held at the
e.home Of Mrs. Esther Delbobsky at AZ
q East Fourth street. Nearly fifty wo
men were present. Mrs. Delbobsky
told the women she thought the prices
of meat were outrageous and advised
:. a strike against the butchers.
as Mrs. Delbobsky and Mrs. Rebecca
sRescensick went to a meat shop in the
neighborhood as piclxets and immedi
,ately began addressing a large COM
pany of women customers, advising
them to boycott the butchers. AS the
women cheered the butchers tried to
disperse them. A battle followed, in
which clubs were used and various
y Mrs. Dolbobsiky and Mrs. Resenick
4were struck in the face with sharp
missiles and both received serious
cuts as well as other injuries. Sew
eral other women were struck by
.stones and clubs The police were
called but made no arrests
Skirmishes in DoorWays
There were many small skirmishes
in the doorways of many other east
side butcher shops Women with
shawls pulled over their faces upset
sidewalk stands and broke open
crates containing live chickens.
Miss Rosa Mensen, during a meat
shop commotion on Madison street,
addressed a crowd.

to buy meat when fish is cheaper.
Fish is better than meat. 1t is more
nourishing."

isof women stood in front of the butcher
shops declaring they would boycott the
butchers until prices came down. The
women would not permit any one to
.enter the shops. AS night drew on
they marched in a body to the offices
of Jewish newspaper and there asked
for newspaper aid in their fight.
Fearing a repetition of the meat
riots of five years ago, when much
property was destroyed, the butchers
have begun organizing. Louis Kirsch
president of the organization, declares
the 1000 meat markets on the east side
will be closed rather than attempt to

SALT LAKERS OWN BIG WELL
Flow of $4,000 Barrels a Day Is
Struck on California Oil
Property.

Senator Simon Bamberger of Salt Lake.
who, with j. u. Wood and others, is in
terested in oil property near Los Angeles.
learned last evening that a tremendous
flow was struck in well No. 30 last week.
News has been received that guSher
has been struck in this well which will
Pamberger yesterday evening. THE flow
was something terrific"
Well 80 is located on the Salt Lake dis
trict Of the Associated Oil companys
property between Los Angeles and Santa
Monica. WOrkmen while working on this
bore reached a depth of 1850 feet below
the surface The drill tapped an oil res
erVOir at this depth and it was sent into
the air by the force of the liberated oil
and gas. The drill shattered the derrick
and was followed by a stream of oil
which shot to an immense height The
workmen were frightened by the sudden
upheaval and. realizing that nothing
could be done to stop the flow, made
preparations to check the stream when II
had spent its force. After roaring and
spouting for eighteen hours. the flow was
shut off by a chOke-up in the bore. The
surrounding country was deluged with
nearly 1900 barrels of oil, before the well
became clogged. Systematic and careful
steps are now being taken to liberate the
oil again and keep IL under control
This shows that the wells i'm our dis
trict are directly over Subterranean sea
Of OIL" added Senator Bamberger. Three
gushers have been struck. One has been
flowing steadily for a year, a second is
yielding 1900 barrels a day. and a third
has flow seven times as great. The
property is certainly showing up in great
shane
