CHINESE DESERT
GERMAN STEAMER
CLAIM TO HAVE BEEN CRUELTY
TREATED BY CAPTAIN AND
FIRST OFFICER.
(By the Associated Press.) }

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 2.-The
German tramp steamer Tolosan lost
"a Chinese members of it's crew to-
day The Orientals deserted the ship,
they claim, on account of the cruelty
practised upon them by the captain
and first officer, who beat and starved
them. The immigration authorities
have taken a hand in the case on
account of the Illegal landing of the
Chinese, who are now guests of the
United States government in the Ala
media county Jail, pending the ar
rangements for their deportation.
They declared they would rather
die than make the return trip on the
Tolosan to the Orient. Shia Tin, a
cook, and All Ming, mess boy. said
his countrymen of the crew had been
compelled to live on one bag of rice
for IA days, supplemented by the
sweepings from the floor. They pro-
duced sample of the latter, which
was literally mixed dust and trash.
The spokesman charged Captain
Jebsen and First Mate A. Frank with
beating various Chinese members of
the crew and denying them sufficient
food to keep them in condition to do
their work properly.
Frank, who appeared at the police
station, admitted tnat he had struck
the Chinese because they were disre-
spectful to him, and not because they
did not perform their duties.

BILL IN EQUITY
FOR AN ACCOUNTING

TRENTON, N. j., Aug. "A bill
in equity which calls upon the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining company TO give
an accounting of it's business for the
past four years was filed before Chan
cellor Magee today on behalf of
George H. Earle, Jr., receiver of the
Pennsylvania Sugar Refining COM
pany of Philadelphia. The suit, it Is
said, is the only one of the kind ever
filed in this country and the step
taken by the receiver of the Penn
sylvania company may be the means
of opening an entire new field for in
vestigating trusts. The suit Is sepa-
rate from that for $3O,OOO,O00 dam
ages, which Earle instituted against
the American Sugar Refining COM
pany in New York. Earle holds that
in procuring the controlling inter-
est in the Pennsylvania in 1908, the
American company became trustee
for the concern and is responsible
to it for an accounting, although the
American company never operated
the opposition company's plants.

REVOKED THE FRANCHISE
or SOUTHERN RAILWAY CO.
(By the Associated Press. }

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Aug. q
Announcement was made today by
Secretary of State Frank Julian that
he had revoked the franchise of the
Southern Railway company because
it had removed a case from the state
circuit court of Talladega county to
the United States circuit court at Bir-
mingham. This action of the South
ern is alleged to be In violation of
the two outlaw acts passed by the
state legislature last winter, each of
which provided that such 'removel
was to be punished by the forfeiture
of the franchise of the offending rail-
way. One of these laws, the better
known, was declared unconstitu-
tional by United States Judge Thom-
as G. Jones, but the other has never
been enjoined blythe federal courts.
For this reason the action of the
state official was taken under the
provisions OF the second of these
outlaw" acts. The state insists that
this second outlaw act is still in force
and 1t is entirely proper to act under
it's provisions, while the adherents
of the railway contend the act of re-
vocation is in contempt of the federal
court Injunction, at least in spirit
Neither side would make an authori-
tative statement of the probable
course to be pursued in the cOntro-
versy today.

QUARREL OVER FARES
ENDS IN MURDER
(By the Associated Press.l

Garret Walsh, first-class fireman
belonging to the crew of the battle

Master-at-Arms II. F. Maddox and
Chief Baker ]. Alderman of the same
ship, were wounded, the former pro-
bably fatally, by Fred Guiterras, a

The sailors, anxious to catch the
launch out to their ship, asked the
driver to forego his drink, and an
argument over the payments of the

spectators, Guitetrras caught Walsh
by the collar and jerked him out of
the back door. Alderman and SOL
dier then followed. Then Guiterras
stabbed Ackerman in the arm with a
knife. Flourishing his weapon the
driver threatened the sailors and
soldiers, and Walsh fed to a rear

SW|TCHMEN AND YARDMEN
MAY CALL A STRIKE
(By the Associated Press. }

DENVER, Aug. Negotiations
looking to a settlement of the strike
of local switchmen and yardmen of
the Colorado & Southern railway,
came to an end this afternoon when
two propositions from each side were
rejected. The railroad proposed ar
bitration, or reference, of the demand
for an increase of 2 cents an hour in
wages to a meeting of the general
managers of western roads and a
committee of the Brotherhood Of
Railway Trainmen to be held in the
near future. Grand Master p. II.
Morrissey responded with the prOpo-
sition that they will take l cent an
hour increase, to be temporary, and
the matter to be left to meeting OF
general managers and representa-
tives of the Brotherhood for apprO-
val. Morrissey claimed the whole
Brotherhood would have to approve
arbitration with the proposition,
which has not been made in sincerity
from Vice President Parker's rejec-
tion of the same, was what caused
the strike. The latter official held
that acceptance of either of Morri-
sey's plans would be only graceful
way of surrendering to the Brother
hood. The Brotherhood leaders de-
clare a general strike is now unavoid-
able, but that the only road to be
effected at this time is the Colorado
and Southern.
There are something in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 Brotherhood men
employed by the Colorado Southern
railway, and a general strike would
bring them all out, say the labor
leaders, and the result would be to
cripple the entire system.

SECURING JURORS
! RATHER SLOWLY
-FOUR FINALLY ACCEPTED AND
COURT ADJOURNED UNTIL
MONDAY.
(By the Associated Press. }

|
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. I'm the
presence of a large crowd of specta-
tors in Judge Dunne's department of
the superior court today, four of the
twelve jurors who are to try Theo-
dore " Halsey of the Pacific States
Telephone company for bribery We're
finally chosen and sworn, and ad-
journment was taken until Monday
morning. At that time fresh ve-
nire of 100 talesmen will be returned
into court by Sheriff O'Neil, and
from among them the attorneys hope
to select eight men to fill the trial
panel.
The first peremptory challenges of
the trial were exercised at the after
noon session, three by the prosecu-
ton, five by the defense. Two arbi-
trary challenges now remain with the
state and five with Halsey.
An echo of the Haywood trial was
heard in the proceedings today. Sew
eral of the Haywood jurors, after a
verdict of acquittal had been re-
turned, intimated that they voted
mot guilty" on the strength of the
Instructions given by Judge Wood as
to the application of evidence, the
presumption of innocence and the
suspicionable character of accomplice
testimony In the cross-examination
of the Halsey jurors a question is
now being asked In form snbstanti-
ally as follows:
'If, after listening to the evidence
you believed in your heart that Mr..
Halsey was innocent, but the instruc-
tiOns of the court as to the law
leaned to conviction, would you fol-
low your own belief or would you be
guided by the court? Would you
vote not guilty or 'guilty?'"
One juror, James II. Rutherford,
leather merchant, declared that he
placed more reliance on his own
sense of justice than on the statutes,
and said frankly that unless the
judges instructions agreed with his
own belief and opinions, he would
cast the law aside. He was chal-
lenged for cause and stood aside.
Nearly every one of the five jurors
similarly challenged by the defense,
had declared in the course of his
crOss-examination that he would be
guided solely by the court"

EXPLOSION NEARLY
WIPED OUT A CAMP
BOARDING HOUSE AND OTHER
STRUCTURES AT COPPER FLAT
BLOWN TO ATOMS.
SECTION MEN WERE RESPONSIBLE
Set on Thirty-fivc Kegs of Blacl;
Powder With Disastrous Re-
Sults-No One Hurt.

An explosion occurred at Copper
Flat last Thursday evening about Z
O'Clock that just about wiped the en-
tire camp off the face of the earth.
Fortunately no one happened to be
within the danger zone, and although
the big boarding-house and several
other structures were shattered to
splinters, not person was injured
A gang of Italians, who were work
ing on the railroad grade, We're re-
sponsible for the disaster. They en-
countered a rather difficult section
of the route and in increasing the
supply of powder, over-did it. They
placed 35 kegs of black powder in
the embankment, but took the pre-
caution to warn the people of the
danger. Everybody took to the hills
and waited the results. They ar
rived at their places of safety none
too soon, as in short time an eXplo-
sion such as old miners had never
heard before, shook the air When
the smoke and dust had cleared away
the boarding-house was missing. A
few boards here and there were the
only indications that any such struc-
same thing happened to number OF
bunk houses. The roofs of several
residences were crushed in and the
entire camp looked as though cy-
clone had struck it.
ut was the grandest sight | ever
saw" said one of the witnesses, over
the phone to a News representative
The smoke and dust ascended high
into the air and the burning powder
resembed the eruption of a great
volcano. We watched the scene fol
minute or longer and then as the
smoke and dust began to clear il
dawned upon us that the boarding
house and several of the bunk-hous-
es had disappeared. We finally re-
turned to the camp and picked VI
here and there a few remnants of the
big structure. There wasn't enough
left hardly to indicate that there had
ever been structure there. 1t is in
deed fortunate that we We're warned
in time, because if we had not been
several persons would have been
killed"
The boarding-house was 200 feet
in length and 35 feet wide. 1t was
wooden structure and was fur
nished for feeding large gangs OF
men. The pots, kettles and Other
cooking utensils were strewn in all
directions. The loss has not beer
definately stated, but is all of $4,000
and probably considerably more.

WOULD NOT HARRASS
LEGITIMATE TRADE
But LOCAL BOARD MUST HAVE
GREATER POWER OVER M
| PORTED .OODS.
(By the Associated Press. }

LONDON, Aug. 2.-The bill intro
duced by John Burns, president of
the local government board, enabling
the board of trade to institute more
stringent regulations ''fOr the pre-
ventiOn of the danger arising to the
public health from the Importation,
preparation, storage and distribution
of articles of food" passed its sec
ond reading in the house of commons
today. In the course of the debate
on the bill, Mr.. Burns explained that
1t empowers the authorities at all
ports to inspect food imports, take
samples and destroy unsOund goods.
IL might be argued, Mr.. Burns said,
that since the recent timed meat ex-
posures in England and elsewhere
things have been put right, but the
government could not allow the laws
to remain defective, because there
was strong probability that mat
ters would relapse to where they
were before. Continuing, Mr.. Burns.
declared that he had received a re-
port that Il Germon consul had said
that the German packers We're ready
to have their meats inspected, pro-5
vided that the. meats Inspected, II
they were found unsOund, be return
ed TO the packer. He was prepared
not 10 enforce the regulations for az
period of forty days after the adopl
tlon by the government. The gov
elnment would not irritate, harass
or Inconvenience the persons carry
ing on legitimate trade decently
but the local government board must
have greater power over imported
timed food In order that the poor
who suffered most from the dangers
of disease, could be saved

HAYWOOD RECEIVES
A WARM GREETING
SAYS THERE is NO TRUTH IN
STORIES OF DIFFERENCES
WITH MOYER.
(By the Associated Press.)

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. Gar
rying his invalid wife in his arms,
William d. Haywood, secretary of
the Western Federation of Miners,
stepped from an Oregon Short Line
train at $3.50 this evening into
crowd which had gathered to meet
him. In its eagerness to see the prin
cipal of the famous trial at Boise,
the mob almost overwhelmed the lit
tie party of travellers. Mrs. Carruth-
ers, Haywood's mother, was swept
away from the waiting carriages. She
was rescued by her stalwart son and
the latter after shaking a few of the
hundreds of outstretched hands,
started with his family for the home
of his sister, Mrs. James Killen.
With Haywood came his wife,
mother, two daughters and other rel
atives who met him in Ogden; John
A. Murphy, attorney for the Western
Federation, who is now dying from
tuberculosis, and Dr. w. l.. Biscrow,
Mr. Murphy's physician. On his ar
rival here the patient was taken to
the Holy Cross hospital, and it is eX-
pected that he will not live to reach
Denver, although Dr.. Biscrow still
speaks hopefully.
At Ogden the news of Haywood S
arrival spread through the railroad
yards and many men from the shops
and switches in greasy blue jumpers
took advantage of the short stop to
touch the hand of the labor leader
and to cheer him as the train rolled
out of the depot.
'The story that have had quar-
rel with Meyer doubtless originated
where other similar stories, equally
false, have started before,s said Hay
wood, during the ride from Ogden to
Salt Lake. There is absolutely no
truth in them. Mr. Meyer delayed
his departure from Boise chiefly be-
cause he wanted to stay near Petit
bone as long as possible. AS to the
changes that may be made in coun-
sci at the next trial, | do not know.
There will probably be a change.
Some slight difficulty has arisen be-
tween Messrs. Richardson and Dar-
row. Both are big men and such
differences are almost sure to arise
when two big men are trying the
same case"
Mr. Haywood said he would leave
with his family for Denver at 6
o'clock tomorrow over the Rio
Grande. He expects to be at his desk
at federation headquarters on Mon
day.

Bishop Henry G. Potter, of the Pro-
testant Episcopal church of New

of the social unrest of the country,
Bishop Potter said, are popular edu-

TAKEN IMMEDIATELY
BEFORE MAGISTRATE
(By the Associated Press }


NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-There will
be. no languishing in cells on a desk
lieutenant's say SO, or premiums paid
to professional bondsman on
trumped-up arrest cases in this city.
From now on the policemen who
make an arrest at any hour of the
day or night will have to bring his
prisoner Immediately before mag
istrate.
New York's first all-night police
court was opened last evening, when
Judge Whitman formally announced
that the shift of justice was ready
for business. Seventy-two unfortu-
mates who had fallen into the tolls
since nightfall peered from the de-
tention pen.
Heretofore professional bondsmen
have reaped harvest from persons
by keeping them out of Jail for one
night, who were arrested as disor-
derly. 1t has been alleged that many
such arrests were made without suf-
ficient warrant On the bench with
Judge Whitman was practically the
full board of city magistrates. Po-
lice Commissioner Bingham, two of
his deputies and many attorneys al
so attended the session, the formal
hours of which will be from 8 p. m.
to 3 a. m 1t is expected that other
night courts will be required to han
die the after dark business.
An interesting development last
night was the discovery that the COM
ing to court of patrolmen left many
beats unprotected One section,
where 10000 families are housed,
was left without a policeman, while
it's seven night officers took their
prisoners to court When adjourn
ment for lunch was taken at mid
night 16S cases had been disposed
of and 35 prisoners were awaiting

PARIS, Aug. 2.-The French and
Spanish governments are acting in
concert and with great promptness
to meet the situation that has arisen
in Morocco. A warship of each of
these powers Is now in the harbor of
Casa Blanca, and three French and
one Spanish men of war are on the

Spanish troops at Casa Blanca, and
in anticipation of favorable reply
has prepared three transports at
Toulon to convey 2,500 men and 900
horses to Morocco. What further
steps, II any, are contemplated have
not been made public. Slight delay
and embarrassment in meeting the
situation is caused by the correspon-
dence which has been carried on be-
tween the two governments.
