the present time, it has been impos-
sible for the attorneys for the state

NO LOANS TO GRAFT CITY.
New York National Bank Refuses to
Buy San Francisco Bonds.

NEW YORK, June 5.-One of the largest
national banks in this city, 1t was learn
ed, has recently refused to join with one
Of the banks in San Francisco in purcEas-
ing issue of San Francisco bonds, and
did so on the ground that the bank here
did not care to invest in bonds of a city
whose government had been SO largely in
the hands of corrupt officials as has been
the case In San Francisco.
1t was said here that the revelations dur
ing recent weeks regarding the acceptance
Of brides and the commission of other
crimes by officials of the Pacific coast city
could not but hurt its credit, and that no
surprise need be felt at the refusal of the
bank here to join in a purchase of San
Francisco bonds.
Regarding the report circulated recently
that bankers here had formally notified
land holders In San Francisco that no
further building loans need be expected
from New York banks until the city had
reformed, 1t was said that there was no
basis for the story. Banks were ready,
1t was said, to lend money to San Fran
ciscans on approved collateral irrespective
of the bribery revelations, but the banks
here were not prepared, 1t was added. to
advance money for improvements to real
estate except in tn form of ordinary bank
loans secured by collateral.

DISPUTE OVER HERO FUND.
Policemen for Whose Heirs It Was
Raised Left No Dependents.

NEW YORK, June 5.-Trouble has arisen
over division Of the $4,000 fund which
was raised by the police for the bene-
ficiaries of Patrolmen George M. Seeker
and Alfred A. Selleck of the Mercer street
station, who We're MORALLY wounded by an
Italian they were attempting to arrest on
April IA. Inspector Richard Walsh, who
has charge Of the fund, has reported to
Commissioner Bingham that Selleck left no
dependents, and inasmuch as a number of
the dead policeman's distant relatives have
put in claims for half the fund he felt that
he was not equal to the task of deciding
whether or not they were entitled to any
part Of it.
1t has developed that Selieck lived with
an aged aunt whose husband is a ship
caulker earning good wages. His parents
were dead and he had no sisters or broth
ers. and while he paid the rent of his
aunt's apartment at 3G4 South Sd street.
Brooklyn, and gave her an allowance for
board she was not dependent upon him.
A large number of distant cousins put in
claims for their share of half the fund
The commissioner said he wouldn't have
anything to do with it and advised Inspec-
tor Walsh to leave the money in bank
until he is served with an order to dis
tribute it. Seekers wife and child are
sorely in need of money, but the fund can
not be divided until 1t is legally established
that Selecks distant cousins and his uncle
and aunt are entitled to half of it.

SEA BURIAL DUE TO LACK OF 5000
1taly's Curious Reply to Chicago Doc.
tors Suit for $3.50 600

ROME. June 5.-Dr Giuseppe Campo the
Italian royal commissioner of immigration;
who was on board the North German
Lloyd steamship Koenigin Luise bound
from Genoa to New York when Mrs Chal,
mers Prentice of Chicago, wife of DR..
Chalmers Prentice Of that city, died on
board April % and was buried at sea the
following day, has presented his report on
the subject to the authorities here The
incident aroused considerable discussion, it
being asserted that DR.. Campo insisted
that the body be buried at sea instead Of
being taken to the United States for inter.
ment
In his report DIR. Campo says that. ac.
companied by the captain OF the Koenigin
Luise and the ships surgeon. DR. Leber,
he examined the body Of Mrs. Prentice and
found that she died Of cancer.
According to the italian emigration reg,I.
latons. the report adds, person dying at
sea must be buried within twenty four
hours. but IL any of the relatives had re-
quested the captain to keep the body until
the arrival OF the steamer at her destina-
ton. and II the captain had considered it
advisable to do so. he. Dr. Campo, would
not have opposed It, on condition that all
the other death regulations were observed,
and he ended by leaving the matter to the
captain.
The latter informed Dr. Campo that the
body would have to be buried at sea. first,
because Mrs. Prentice's daughter. Camille,
had not expressed any opinion on the SUBJ
Ject; second. because Miss Prentice had
not deposited the $500 which the North
German Lloyd Company required for keep
ing the body until Its arrival at New
York. and. third. because Miss Prentice
was under age and therefore unable to give
any legal authorization to have the body
kept until the arrival of the steamer at her
destination.
Dr. Prentice. 1t has been announced has
brought suit for $3.50 900 damages against
the North German Lloyd Company, and In
addition 1t Is stated that he will demand
some redress, possibly in the form OF an
apology from the Italian and German gov.
ernments-from Italy for compelling Ger
man steamers to enter into alleged irregi
ular agreements regarding the transporta-
ton Of passengers from Italian ports, and
from Germany for permitting steamers fly
ing the German flag to enter into such con-
tracts. 1t was contended on behalf OF DR..
Prentice that his daughter protested
against the burial Of her mothers body at
sea, and that Mrs. Prentice a frstI
cabin passenger the Italian emigration
commissioner had no legal right to demand
the burial of the body at sea, his juris-
diction did not exceed the limits Of the
steerage.

MIDDLETOWN. N. Y, June 5-Con-

no opportunity of doing himself bodily
harm, Charles H. Rogers. the self-confessed
murderer of the Olney brothers, who is in
Goshen Jail awaiting trial. is slowly starv-

of a little milk each day, Rogers has taken
no food or ncurshment for a week, and
the effect on his flesh Is very noticeable, he
being but a shadow of his former self.
Unless he consents to partake of food a
physician will in all probability be called
in and food forced into his stomach in order
to keep him alive.
Rogers sleeps most of the time and when
awake smokes continuously. He has an
ccasional spell when he gives vent to an
outburst of profanity over his present con
dillon He appears to be reconcied to his
guards and has made no further attempt
to attack them.
