NORFOLK, Va, July 3.-F1ve hun
dred soldiers, members of the Second
South Carolina and First Kentucky
regiments in camp at the jamestown
exposition grounds, tonight ran amuck
there, interfered with concessionaires,
tried to take possession of several
shows on the war path" and when
the Powhattan guards intervened riot
followed, several men being injured
The injured included:
Joseph Brashear, company G, Ken
lucky regiment, possible fracture OF
skull from blow with blackjack; Pow
haitian Guard Preas, elbow cut, fingers
on right hand dislocated and face beat
en-; Captain Carpenter of Powhattar
guards struck i'll the breast with stone;
Adjutant Garwood, Kentucky regiment
and several others suffered slight
wounds
Early in the night some of the sol
diers who had been drinking became
disorderly and were repeatedly eau
toned by the guards. Later when theiI
number had increased to about 300 they
threw aside all constraint and proceed
ed to do the "war path,' ignoring door
keepers, declining to pay admission
fees and refusing to leave the buildings
when ordered out. The temple of mirth
beauty show and streets of Cairo were
principal sufferer. AT the last named
place about fifteen Powhattan guards
attempted to restore order, but were
forced to use their sabers to beat the
men back. Captain Carpenter and Ad-
jutant Garwood at the head of the
guards succeeded in ejecting the men,
but the soldiers soon returned. Their
number had been increased to 500. They
again attempted to take charge of the
shows, refusing to be disciplined. c.
c. Hastings of company H, Kentucky,
and j. Tompkins of company D, South
Carolina, were arrested as the ring
leaders of the rioting.
The arrests caused a demonstration
and with drawn sabers the guards We're
forced to fight their way through the
massed forces to the guard camp. They
kept their prisoners in spite of the
attempts of the soldiers to rescue them
Behind wire fences of the camp the
guards made stand against the crowd.
The soldiers hurled rocks into the in
closure. Captain Carpenter and Ad-
iutant General Garwood were struck.
Guard Preas, who saw the man who
threw the rock which hit Carpenter,
arrested the assailant, whose infuriated
friends Immediately attacked Preas,
beat him and rescued the prisoner. The
rescue was not effected, however, until
after the prisoner, Brashear, had been
blackjacked by the guard.
Brashear was placed in a rolling chair
and sent to the exposition hospital. He
was later arrested there by the Pow
haitian guards, but could not be moved
owing to his condition.
The guards were later reinforced by
detachments of soldiers from the camp
and. order was restored.

ENG[|SHMAN
IS CAPTURED
BY BANDIT
Crafty Raisuli Holds
Sultan's General :
as Hostage
Seizes Commander and
Will Keep Him Till
Ransom Is Paid
Sir Harry MacLean Falls Into Hands
of Moroccan Outlaw While Me-
gotiating with Him Re-
garding Pardon
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
TANGIER, Morocco. July 3.-Com-
manding General Sir Harry MacLean,
commander of the sultan's body guard,
has been made a prisoner by Raisuli,
the bandit chief, and will he held as
hostage by the latter until the sultan
agrees to pardon Raisui on his own
terms.
General MacLean was negotiating
with Raisuli regarding the latter's par
don when he was made prisoner.
General MacLean is former officer
Of the British army and is descended
from an old Scotch family. All his
erted in the interests of civilization and
humanity and he is universally re-
spected even among the most fanatical
of the foreign-hating Moors.
The British legation confirms the
capture of General MacLeaa. Raisuli
says he will hold General MacLean
until he is granted the following terms
for his surrender.
1.-The, reconstruction of his house at
zinat.
= 2-The payment of an indemnity OF
100, 900 douros, about S20o,000)
3-His Ieappointment as governor OF
Tangier and of Fahs, and his appoint
ment as commander of police.
Is Master Stroke
LONDON. July S1The capture OF
General MacLean, the virtual COM
mander of the forces of the sultan OF
Morocco, by Raisuli is regarded here
as a Gilbertian master stroke of the
bandit, whose career started with the
seizure of Ian Perdicaris. Evidently
MacLean was completely hoodwinked
Only yesterday he telegraphed to the
sultan that Raisuli had agreed to all
the formers proposals. There is little
doubt here that the bandit will hold
MacLean as a hostage until he is re-
instated in power and otherwise in
demnified for the losses he has sus-
tanned since he was driven from the
governorship of Tangier.
This last exploit of Raisuli in cap
turing Kaid General Sir Harry Mac
Lean brings the noted bandit to public
attention after period of comparative
retirement. MacLean is probably the
most influential man in Morocco, being
the English adviser who organized the
sultan's army and civil administration,
and who stands next to the sultan
himself in the conduct of Moroccan
affairs. His capture, therefore, is even
more of an achievement for Raisuli
than his former captures of Perdicaris
and Harris In MacLean the bandit
has an unusually rich prize with which
to negotiate with the sultan and pos
sibly with England to whom MacLean
still holds allegiance, and with France
and Spain, who are Jointly charged
with the international policing of Mo-
rocco.

COURT DENOUNCES
UNWR|TTEN LAW
Iowa Judges Score County Attorney
for Making an Appeal to Jury
on Basis of Much Used
Plea
BY Associated Press.


CHICAGO, July 3.-A dispatch from
Des Moines says that the supreme court
of Iowa, in decision delivered yester-
day, repudiated the "unwritten law
and added stinging rebuke to c. A.
Barnets, county attorney of Dubuque
county, who made an argument to the
jury construed to countenance resort
to this claw" The decision is in the
case of DIR. P. M. Hartmann, a physician
of Dubuque, who was charged by his
wife with being unfaithful to his mar
riage vows. Mrs. Jacob Keifer of Du-
buque was named in connection with
the case. The trial in the lower court
resulted in a conviction of the prisoner.
During the trial the county attorney
said to the jury
Instead of trying a case of violation
of marriage vows here you should be
here for the purpose of determining
whether or not Jacob Keifer would
have been guilty of murder if he had
exercised his manhood, taken gun
or pistol and shot through the heart of
DIR. Harmann."
The supreme court says:
This statement has no foundation in
law or fact, and it is highly important
that no such appeal be made. 1t was
the duty of this county attorney to dis
courage the very thing he was counte-
nancing."
The supreme court reversed the ver-
rict of the jury owing to the appeal
made by the county attorney, and held
that the evidence in the case was in
sufficient to support conviction.

Ruins Reclamation Work

OF the land flooded about $4,000 acres
belong to the Kern County Land COM
pany and 5000 to Miller & LUX. The
territory is divided into four big
ranches and the work of reclamation
had been in progress for nearly twenty
years.
The levee was built in 1S86-S7 jointly
by the two corporations at a cost OF a
quarter of million dollars, and last
year it was strengthened at great ex-
pense. The embankment is 300 feet
wide on the bottom and tWenty-four
feet in width at the top.
At noon the water was pouring
through break over 100 feet wide and
the tremendous rush of the current Is
steadily increasing the gap.
This afternoon Engineer Rockwell
and Superintendent James Ogden OF
the Miller e. Lux properties returned
from the lake, and after conference
with the Kern County Land company
Officials it has been decided to attempt
to check the immense volume of flood
waters by building levee three miles
long and two feet high at the San
Emidio ranch road, about five miles
from the break. Hundreds of farmers
and laboring men have been ordered to
the scene and every available team and
scraper in this district will be put to
use.
Superintendent Ogden declares that
it is impossible to stop the rush OF
water at the lake and the only hope of
saving the rich land in the reclaimed
Kern lake country is in building the
levee at the San Emidio road.
The weakening of the levees was un-
doubtedly caused by the heavy flow OF
water into the reservoir from Kern
river during the past two wet seasons.
This evening a train of twenty-five
carloads of gravel left Bakersfield for
the scene of the flood to be used in
building the auxiliary levee. II. is eX-
pected that the flood waters will reach
the San Emidio road tomorrow If they
continue at their present rate of speed.
Assistant Superintendent Munzer of
the Kern County Land company left
tonight to personally superintend the
work on the levee.. w. S. Tevis, presi-
dent and principal owner and H. A.
Jastro, general superintendent are alb
sent from the city, but have been noti-
fed of the catastrophe. Mr.. Jastro will
return in the morning.

Gap
Kern County Has Battle
with Raging
Waters
Wide Area Swept Bare, Railroad Line
moIished-Total Damage Prob
ably Amounts to Over
Million Dollars
By Associated Press.


BAKERSFIELD, Cal, July 3.-The
Buena Vista levee which protects 10000
acres of highly cultivated land went
out under the pressure of flood waters
from Kern river this morning and over
million dollars damage will result.
The levee held back the waters of the
Buena Vista lake covering an area of
thirty-nine square miles and protecting
body of reclaimed land extending for
distance of fifteen miles and includ-
ing he old bed of Kern lake, the prop
erty of the Kern County Land COM
pany and Miller & Lux.
This land was covered with crops of
growing grain ready for tho harvest
and with alfalfa.
At II o'clock today Engineer Rock
we'll of the reservoir telephoned that it
would be impossible to stop the break,
and big forces of men at once began
to remove all portable property. Five
thousand sacks of grain had already
been threshed and there is much farm
ing machinery, including two big steam
harvesters, to be removed. The water
is advancing rapidly and at noon to-
day more than twelve sections were
covered.
The break puts the Sunset railway,
operated by the Southern Pacific rail-
road, out Of commission as the track
runs across the levee at the point where
it gave way. 1t will probably be days
and perhaps weeks before the waters
find their level and not until that time
he tra n q that
fic can be resumed. This means a ceS-
sation of Shipments of oil from the Sun
set district and also puts stop to the
active development work now in
progress in that field as material will
no longer be available.
Division superintendent Burkhalter
of the Southern Pacific railroad has
gone on a special train to the scene Of
the break.
