Our Jim Continues to Tell How He
VIII Annihilate the Ice
Trust.

Mayor Dahlman intimated Saturday
morning that the denouement of the Ecker
man Ransom-John Doe ice drama would be
enacted next Monday morning. Just what
the mayors program is he, for obvious
reasons did not care to divulge, but those
who know him best declare he will make
good his recent statement that he would
take summary action If the ice company
continued TO refuse to supply ice in such as
the Eckerman and Ransom cases.
The way the mayor talked Saturday
morning, things look dark for the ice men
for the coming week But they are not
jumping in the sun just yet. Citizens In
Bemis park are securing their seats In
advance.

TUPPER'S BODY MAY
Be RECOVERED.

WAWONA. Oct 1z-The searching
parties that are looking for the body
of H. w Upper of Fresno. who fell
over a cliff in the Yosemite Sunday.
on returning home, tonight said they
believed they had located the body.
They worked all day trying TO get to
the bench where he lr1y have landed.
The belief now is that after Tupper
left his two comrades his velocity be-
came so great that he could not stop
himself The last l-cge that showed
any sign of his presence was marked
only by the prints of his feet as he
struck for the first and last time on the
ledge 1t is evident that he bounded
from this ledge over e precipice of 700
feet to a bench almost at the floor Of
the valley. where the powders are so
large that it seems impossible for any
human being to cross.
Tomorrow some one will be lowered
the 700 feet and an attempt~to cross at
the bottom will be made. There is talk
OF working up from the floor of the val
ley with ropes and ladders. which will
be a less dangerous and, 1T is thought,
more successful way
Private Hopkins went down with a
rope wrapped only around one leg and
returned hand over hand He is highly
commended for his bravery.

SANTA ROSA, Oct. 10-Attorney
William E. Cowan. whose nomination
for position on the Appellate Court
bench by the Democratic central COM
mittee, was not filed with the Secre-
tary of State within the time allowed
by law for nominations for State Off
GERS. declares that there is no law re-
quiring such a filing and that the fail
ure to so file a certificate Will cut no
figure in his case According to the
law as read here, the certificate has to
be filed in the county OF the candidates S
residence and by the County Clerk of
that county, also certified to by all of
the other county clerks in counties
within the district This being done,
then each of the county clerks in the
district in the preparation of the
ballots. must place the candidates
name on the respective ballots. The
filing OF the certificate of nomination
of the Appellate Judges with the Sec
retary of State has been simply a mat
ter of caution and not one of necessity.

CRUISER 5 CRUCIAL
TEST IS TO-DAY.
Swift Warship California
Must Show She Has En-
durance With Her Speed
FOUR HOURS SPRINT
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
SANTA BARBARA. Oct 1o.-The su-
preme test of the new cruiser Califor-
mia will come tomorrow. when the ves-
sci will be sent out on a four-hours'
endurance run. The California has al
ready proved herself sprinter, a yeri-
table greyhound OF the sea- 1t now
remains to be proved whether she can
go the distance. Those who watched
the vessels performance during the
Standardization trials Tuesday have no
doubt of her ability to- live up to the
contract requirements to the letter and
believe that the cruisers great engines
viii make the required number of rev.
olutions during the -FOUR hours tests
without trouble.
The object of the Standardization
trials over the measured mile course is
to determine the number of revolu-
tlons of the engines necessary to pro-
duce a speed of twenty-five knots This
is done by making number of runs
over the course, seven in the case
of the California, at varying speed
making necessary tidal corrections and
reducing the result to a mathematical
certainty. When the correct number
of revolutions have been established,
the engines are kept at this pace for
four hours on straightaway endur-
ance run, and if the number of revolu-
tions can be maintained the ship has
fulfilled her speed requirements. While
not so picturesque or exciting as the
old efghty-mile run at top speed, both
the builders and Government have
found the Standardization and endur-
ance tests to be more satisfactory. The
first cruiser to be tried in these waters
under the new system was the Mil
waukee.
BY her Standardization trials the
California has established the fact that
she is one of the greatest cruisers of
her class. The average of the five high
speed runs was over half knot bet
ter than the required twenty two
knots and her fastest run was almost
a knot in excess of the speed which
the contract called for. Neither the
Union Iron Works representatives nor
the members of the trial board have
much to say prior to the final test, but
Ii is easy TO see that all who are con-
nected with the trial trip are enthu-
siastic over the performance of the big
ship The way in which she reeled off
the knots was a surprise, even to
those who were most interested in the
success of the latest addition to the
navy.
All day today the California lay at
her anchorage, while the fremen were
taking a much needed and weliearned
rest and while the engines were being
tuned up for the endurance run. There
are a number of minor adjustments and
repairs to be made to the engines after
the great strain to which they were
subjected Tuesday. but when the Cali
fornia weighs anchor at O'Clock to-
morrow morning and puts out to sea,
she will be tuned to the hour.
The vessel Will probably steam west
for thirty miles and will then turn and
finish the four hours with run
straight down the channel. After the
endurance run the ship Will be put
through the usual maneuvering tests

The Schooner Frolic With
Chinese, Confscated, and
Law-Breakers Arrested
ONE TELLS OF PROFITS

PROVIDENCE, r. l., Oct. 10.-After
having evaded the United States Gus
toms and immigration of1cres for more
than two weeks the schooner yacht
Frolic, which left Placentia, N F.,
with a cargo of contraband Chinese i'm
migrants, was boarded in the Provi-
dence River early today and confiscated
in the name of the United States Gov
ernment Portuguese members of the
crew were placed under arrest, they
being the only persons found on board
the boat. while seventeen Chinese, be-
lieved to have been prisoners on the
Frolic, were also arrested.
The Frolic entered the harbor IN
broad daylight at 10 o'clock yesterday.
Despite the vigilance of the coast
guards and the revenue cutters from
Maine to Cape Hatteras the schooner
came up the harbor without attracting
any attention, those who saw her TAX
ing her for a fishing schooner.
1t was by the purest accident that
1t was discovered she was the Frolic
AT an early hour this morning a man
over two Chinese huddled on the wharf
of the coal yard He was about to
eject them from the premises when
some one on board the schooner cried
out:
Don't bother those fellows. 1 will
look after them"
The workman went to the Offices of
the company and reported the occur
renee to the night watchman, who in
turn informed the police of what had
happened. Officers were dispatched to
the scene and in a short time the Frolic
was confiscated.
Edward K. Jenkins, William A. Dun
can and John c. Lehnemann of Boston,
connected with the smugglers, who
were arrested later were brought be-
fore the United States authorities here
and sent to Jail in default of s2500
bail each.
Lehnemann stated that the snug
Cling of Chinese into New England
States has been carried on for years
with great profit. He stated that an
expedition like that of the Frolic
netted about $4,000
