The American delegation at The Hague
conference. headed by Gen. Horace Por-
ter, has presented the proposition that
the bombardment of unfortified and un-
defended towns or buildings be forbidden.
but that such places are liable 10 damages
incidental to the destruction of military
or naval establishments. and are liable to
bombardment when they refuse reason
able acquisitions for provisions and sup
plies. 1t is also proposed that the bonn
bardment of unfortiied towns for the
non payment of ransom be forbidden. The
Germans propose that hospital ships can
not be captured. not being considered as
warships. and that private hospital ships
may enjoy the same privilege as those
authorized by governments, providing that
they assist the wounded without distinc-
ton of nationality. The British propose
an international court of appeals in re-
gard to prizes captured at sea. France
proposes that the powers may appoint an
International commission of inquiry in
case of disputes of an International char
acter. the investigation to be conducted
secretly, and the reports TO be made pub
lie only if both sides agree: the decis-
ion. however, not to be mandatory.

NINE MEN CHOSEN.
Good Progress Made in Selecting
Jury to Try HaIsey.

San Francisco. Aug. 2.-Compara-
lively rapid progress was made yes
terday in the trial of Theodore v.
Halsey for the alleged bribery of
| Supervisor Lonergan. Halsey, as
former agent of the Pacific States
Telephone & Telegraph Company, is
the second of the public utilities cor
poration men to be brought to the
bar by the bribery graft prosecution
and the indictment on which he went
to trial is the first of g similar ones
that have been returned against him.
Forty-eight veniremen were ex-
amined during the day, and of these
nine withstood the qualification tests
and were accepted, subject to per-
emptory challenge by either side, ten
peremptories resting with the de-
fense and five with the prosecution.
District Attorney Langdon con-
Quoted the examinations for the pros
ecution. He IS supported by Special
Counsel Hiram Johnson and Assist
ant District Attorney William Hoff
Cook. Bert Schlessinger examined
for the defense. With him at the
counsel table in Halsey's behalf are
Dolphin M. Delmas and Henry H.
McPike. If Judge Lawlor overrules
the objection of the defense to the
commencement of Louis Glass new
trial next Monday and requires it to
go on at that time, Mr.. Delmas will
probably withdraw temporarily from
the Halsey case in order to take part
in the defense of Glass,

Steals March on Uncle Sam at The
Hague Conference.

The Hague, July 31.-The British
delegation is working on a PROPOSE
ton, which, when it is presented; will
cause considerable surprise. AS al
ready cabled, the representatives of
the United States have been private
ly discussing with other leading dele
gates the advisability of the United
States presenting a proposition for
the periodical meeting of the confer
ence, this proposition suggesting that
it should meet quinquennially June
2, beginning in 1912.

MOYER FREE ONCE MORE.
Bond for Bail Furnished After Lor z
Wait for Cash.

Boise, Idaho, July 31.-After de-
lay of nearly SO hours, Charles H
Meyer, president of the Western Fed
GRAFTON of Miners, was released from
the Ada county Jail at late hour
last night on a bond of $4,000 signed
by Timothy Regan and Thomas j.
Jones of Boise.
Meyer will leave for Salt Lake to-
night in company with William D.
Haywood, who on Sunday was ac-
quilted of the murder of exGov-
ernor Steunenberg. After stop OF
few hours in Salt Lake City, they
will proceed to Denver. the head
quarters of the federation.
1t was proposed to file a cash bond
in the sum of $4,000, but the
money did not arrive in time, and
rather than allow Meyer to remain
another night in Jail, his attorneys
decided, after all, to let a personal
bond suffice.
Steve Adams who was expected to
be an important witness at the trial,
but who was not called by either
side, was taken back to Wallace to
await a second trial on the charge
of murder there. His first trial re-
suited in disagreement.
Formal application was made in
the District Court to have George A..
Pettibone admitted to bail. The mo-
ton was submitted without argu-
ment, and was promptly denied by
Judge Wood.

ANOTHER NEW YORK CRIME,
Brutal Murder of Women and Girls
in Metropolis Continues.

New York, Aug. 2.-"The grave
yard" as the foreign populated
neighborhood on First avenue, be-
tween Thirteenth and Fourteenth
streets is known locally, gave up to-
day a fresh crime, rivaling in atroc-
ity the mysterious butcheries of last
week. The latest discovered victim
was an 8-year-old girl, and, like the
two young women murdered, she had
been shockingly mistreated before
death and the body mutilated when
life was extinct.
The three murders were strikingly
similar. Last Thursday night a
woman was strangled in a Twenty
second street clearinghouse; the
next morning the body of a still un-
identified woman, who had been
choked to death, was found in an
areaway in East Nineteenth street.
Katie Pritschler, daughter Of a res
taurant waiter, disappeared a week
ago today and was killed that night.
A ribbon placed about the throat and
drawn SO tightly that it cut the
flesh, showed how she died. Her
body was found today.
If the brutality of the murders
can be qualified, that of the Pritsch-
Ter girl ranks first. She was as
saulted, murdered and then her life
less form was horribly mutilated.

HAPPENINGS GATHERED IN AND
AROUND WASHINGTON. D. 6.
MINERALS IN FORESTS.
Geological Survey to Investigate De-
posIts in National Reserves,

Washington, Aug. In connec-
tion with it's other work in the West
ern states, the United States Geolog-
ical Survey has undertaken the in
|yestigation of geologic conditions
within the National forests. 1t has
been the consistent aim of the Off
GERS Of the Forest Service to foster
the fullest possible development of
mining within the areas included In
the National forests. Many fraudu-
lent entries have, however, been dis
covered, which cover non-mineral
lands or deposits that by no possibil-
ity could be developed into paying
mines, and it is clearly to the bene-
tit of legitimate mining enterprises
that the wildcat" mining companies
be prevented from obtaining title to
the land claimed
With these aims in view, the geol-
Ogists Of the Survey are to investi-
gate the lands of the National for
ests. They will act under the gen.
eral instructions of the Director of
the Survey, and under the personal
supervision of the geologist in charge
of metalliferous deposits. The stand
ards, methods and wide experience
of the Geological Survey will render
the result of these Investigations of
great practical value, both to the
Forest Service and to the miners,
and the reports of the geologists will
enable the Forester to make recon-
to the Commissioner of
the General Land Office on the char
acter of the mineral locations Thus
the policy of the Survey will be to
require it's geologists to assist in
every way the claimant who is acting
in good faith, as we'll as to help the
officers of the Forest Service in their
task of protecting the mining indus
try and all other interests which
benefit by the proper administration
Of the National forests.

Washington Labor Men Ask President
to Rush Land Fraud Case,

Washington, Aug. 1.-Organized
labor in Washington has gone on the
warpath for the scalp of Senator
Borah, of Idaho, counsel for the state
in the prosecution of w. D. Hay
wood. The following resolution was
adopted by the Central Labor Union

ho, is now under indictment for COM
plicity in the timber land frauds
against the United States Govern
ment; therefore be it
Resolved, That the Central Labor
Union petition and require the Pres
ident of the United States to secure
or permit the Attorney General to

moved from the name of Senator of
the United States, and that he may
prove whether he is desirable citi-
zen or not"
1t was also decided to send a tele-
gram of congratulation to Haywood.

Toreado DESTROYS Town

Victoria, Kan, Aug. 2-All efforts
to reach Marquette, reported to have
been destroyed by a tornado last
night, have failed. The Missouri Pa
cific Railway telegraph operator at
Marquette was notifying the agent at
Geneseo, west of there, that the de-
pot was almost destroyed by wind,
and that three inches of water stood
in the depot, when the wire failed
Mcpherson, southeast of Marquette,
was reached by telephone. That place
had heard the report but could not
communicate with Marquette. All
other wires are down. Marquette
was destroyed by a tornado in 1905,
27 persons being killed and over
hundred and fifty injured.

COWARD DRIVEN
OUT BY CHIEF
Dramatic Event Among Police Force
fNew York City.
Man Who Fled Before Loaded Re-
vover in Hands of Madman Is
Stripped Of Star and Elected in
Sight Of Comrades-Made Text
for Stirring Speech.

New York, Aug. IA remarkable
scene, closely paralleling that mem
orable one in Paris when Cap
tain Alfred Dreyfus was publicly dis
graced before the French army. was
enacted in the trial room at police
headquarters. For the first time in
more than 80 years a patrolman had
been adjudged guilty of cowardice.
He is Stephen S. Walsh, who, accord
ing to the charge made against him
last week, fled from an armed man
who had shot and killed woman.
The keen interest with which the
unusual case was followed rose to a
point of dramatic intensity when Po-
lice Commissioner Bingham, who had
presided personally at the trial, an
nounced that the charge against the
unfortunate man had been proved.
Then the Commissioner turned to In
spector Richard Walsh, in whose dis
trict Stephen Walsh was patrol
man, but who is no relative of the
dismissed man, and directed the in
spector to strip Walsh of his shield
and uniform buttons so that he
might not even leave the trial room
with the emblems Of his former posi-
tion as a policeman in good stand
ing on his person. The crowd looked
on in wonder and excitement as the
inspector advanced to perform his
unpleasant work.
The dismissed man stood still and
offered no resistance as the shield
was unpinned from his breast, but
when the inspector started to detach
the buttons of the uniform Stephen
Walsh stepped back and appealed to
his attorney against any further hu-
initiation being put upon him in the
presence of his former comrades.
Commissioner Bingham, who was
laboring under great excitement,
then interposed and directed the in
spector to conduct his former sub
ordinate to the steps of the police
building and eject him. Stephen
Walsh offered no resistance and went
with the inspector to the outer door
way, where he was formally directed
to leave the building. Throughout
the unusual proceeding Stephen
Walsh maintained his composure.

"Katy" Road Called to Time.

Washington, July O,-Recently in
formation was received by the Inter-
state Commerce commission that GER
tain western and southwestern railroads
were engaged in alleged violations of
the rate law by issuing passes to per-
sons not entitled to them under the
law. In the case of the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas railway, the informa-
tion was specific that the agents of that
system were issuing passes to socalled
"bondsmen. An order therefore has
been promulgated by the commission
requiring the officials of the system to
answer the charges made and to state
the ground on which such action was
justified.

Rates to West Lowered.

Chicago, Aug. 2.-Reductions in
interstate fares from all the promi-
nent places in the East to the prin-
cipal points west of Chicago and st.
Louis will be made August by the
Eastern railroads, special permission
to do so having been granted by the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
Because of the reductions in inter-
state fares made by the Western
railroads, owing to the passage of
2-cent fare laws by many states, pas
sengers from Eastern and Western
points have been able to save from
81 to Sc by buying a ticket over
Eastern roads only to their Western
terminals and then rebuying over a
Western line to their destination.

VESSELS DISREGARD FOG.
Desire to Make Fast Time Cause of
Many Wrecks.

San Francisco, July 31.--The tes
timony OF the officers OF the steam
schooner San Pedro, before Captain
John Birmingham today, demon.
strated clearly that the habit o;
Coast shippers, said to be practically
universal, of running their vessels
at full speed regardless Of the fog
was mainly responsible for the wreck
of the Columbia and its terrible con-
sequences.
Chief Mate B. Hendricksen, who
was in charge Of the San Pedro at
the time of the collision, testified
that, when he first heard the fog sig
nails Of the Columbia, he did not slow
down and that, when the passenger
vessel loOmed out of the fog, it was
too late to do anything but try to
make the collision as slight as pos
sible.
He appears to have acted with dis
patch and good judgment when he
sighted the Columbia; but at that
time, according to his testimony, the
ships were not more than a boats
length apart, and not much was pos
sible. There was no time to go to
starboard. He therefore blew the
danger signal, four short blasts, or
dered the engines stopped and threw
the helm hard aport. He did not or
der the engines reversed, he ex-
planned, because he hoped to throw
the San Pedro around so as to strike
a glancing blow, and in order to do
this 1t was necessary to keep suffi
cient way on her. The San Pedro had
been making about eight knots, and
was probably making five when she
struck the Columbia.

MAY FACE MURDER CHARGE.
Soldier Is Arrested for Completely in
Northern Pacific Robbery.

Astoria, Ore, Aug. An enlisted
man, giving his name as Henry j.
Gruber Is under arrest at Fort Ste
vens on a charge of being implicated
in the robbery of a Northern Pacific
train in Montana last May in which
Engineer Glow was killed. Gruber
is but 20 years of age and came to
Fort Stevens on July 22, from Butte,
Mont, where he had enlisted few
days before.
That Gruber is the mans correct
name is considered certain for the
reason that he gave his fathers name
on the descriptive list the same as on
the ID and A" card when he en-
listed. He was placed under arrest
at 10 o'clock yesterday morning in
accordance with telegraphic instruc-
tions received from the commanding
officer at Vancouver Barracks, who
directed that the prisoner be held
until an officer arrives for him. Cru
Der is kept in the guardhouse heav-

San Diego, Cal, Aug. 2.-The
Federal Government, through the

notice from Washington designating
three special places where persons
desiring to enter the United states
must make application before the
United States immigration Inspec-
tors. The three points are Tia
Juana, Campo and Celexio and in the
future all aliens including MeXicans,
who cross the line at other places
and without having gone through
the necessary formalities, will be
liable to arrest and deportation as
being unlawfully in the United
