CRUELTY CHARGED
COLUMBIA SURVIVORS REPUDI-
ATE REPORT BY HAWSE.
They MAKE THREE ACCUSATIONS
Officer Imputed More Cruel Than Cap
tain Hansen As Specified in
Formal Report.

San Francisco, Cal.-The Bulle-
ii n says that Third Officer Hawse
of the wrecked steamer Columbia,
whose sworn report of the disaster
filed with the federal inspectors,
charged Captain Hansen ~of the San
Pedro with refusing to aid in the
rescue of the stricken passengers; is
nov charged by survivors who occu-
pied the same boat with him with
conduct more cruel than that specified
by him in his formal report. The
charges made against Hawse are:
/. Refusing to give his coat to an
unconscious woman rescued from the
water in a freezing condition, his re-
mark being: "My coat is my own"
2. Ordering a sailor to strike a
crippled nan whom he believed occu-
pied too much space in the life boat
3. Sitting calmly in the stern sheets
of the boat and refusing to assist in
dragging men and women from the
water.
Miss Lulu Hansen of Minneapolis
was the most emphatic in her state
ments. The passengers arriving here
further declare that the attack made
upon Captain Hansen by Hawse was
entirely unjust.

CLASH WITH FRENCH TROOPS.
Riot Follows Attack by Soldiers and
Fresh Outbreak Is Feared.

Perpignan, France.-Many civilians
were injured when the police pre-
vented a riot here Thursday. 1t
is feared that a fight between citi-
zens and the Twenty-fourth Colonial
regiment may take place at any time.
The soldiers of the regiment were
forced to remain in their barracks as
a result of a recent fight. The civil
ians surrounded the barracks where
the soldiers were confined. Just as
the mob crowded close to the walls
the soldiers rushed to the windows
and hurled down stones and beams
that they had torn from the partitions
of the structure within. Many were
hurt and great excitement followed.
The police had anticipated trouble and
rushed into the square, driving out the
citizens, after the wounded had been
carried away, and practically holding
the imprisoned soldiers in a state of
siege. The trouble is said to have de-
veloped from i'll feeling engendered at
the time of the wine growers strike.

VILLAGE OF WOMEN
ADULT MALES EMIGRATED TO
THE UNITED STATES.
MUNICIPAL OFFICERS ARE FEMALES
Men Left in Batches in Answer to
the Call of Gold In This
Country.

Buda Pest - The lure of the
United States as a land of opportunity
and wealth to the people Of Hungary
has brought about a curious state Of
affairs in the little village of kerisova,
near Lugos, which at the last census
had a population Of $500 souls. One
by one the male residents of Kerisova
heard the call across the water, and
they emigrated in patches until such
time as the mayor was the only adult
male to remain by the village. Finally
he also succumbed to the reports Of
good wages and golden chances in
America sent back by his fellow-towns-
men and, packing his trunk, he made
his way to the emigrant ship at Fiume.
As a result of this exodus of males,
the women of Kerisova have just elect
ed a young woman to the position of
mayor and other female residents have
been elected to fill the remainder of
the municipal offices. The statutes in
Hungary provide that no female shall
hold public office, and according to
the letter of the law, the presence of
the women in office is illegal.

WHEN THE FISH HURDLE.
Man Wanted to Be Far Away From
the Danger Spot.

OF course at this season the usual
run of fish stories" are going the
rounds. But one relating to the
hurdling prowess of bass and trout,
which was told in all earnestness the
other night, takes first prize.
Fish always go up stream In the
springtime," said the fisherman, "and
scarcely anything will keep the bass
and trout from getting near the head
waters. l have known these two
species to jump over a dam eight to
ten feet high and continue their up
stream journey"
What was that you said?" re-
marked a friend, who also claims to
be somewhat of an angler. The man
repeated his assertion that he had
seen fish jump over dams eight to ten
feet high, and as there was no one
present to deny the hurdling abilities
Of the fish, the only challenge to his
remarkable statement was a laugh by
all hands.
well, / trust / will be on the
cop of Niagara falls when one of those
hurdling fish you speak of comes fly
ing through the air and hits me in the
eye," remarked the friend. That
broke up the fish stories for that even
Ing, but the man still insists that a
ten-foot dam can be hurdled by either
a bass or trout.

THE UNION.
Judge Shafer's Decree Includes Inter.
national President.

Pittsburg, Pa.-Judge Shafer, in
common pleas court No. 2, has

straining orders ever made against a

the International Association of Glass
Bottle Blowers.
Nearly IS defendants are named in
the bill, including the president of the

places. In the preliminary injunction
granted by Judge Shafer, the striking
glass workers are restrained from as
sembling or lettering near the plant,

for the purpose of intimidation or
otherwise, and from visiting the en-
ployes' homes, either singly Or in

A Prophecy as to Wheat.

Unquestionably those now living
may see the time when in some a
the United States will import wheat
If a surplus can be found anywhere.
AS a rule, however, we may expect
to continue to export grain forever.
The Oldest and most densely pop
lated countries of the world continue
to export grain, and while the world
endures there will always be ex-
changes Of SURPRISES. AS to our pro-
duction we are probably nearing u
maximum under present methods of
cultivation. 1t is, however, easily pos
sible to double our output by better
methods of agriculture which we shall
gradually adopt as increasing prices
caused by the pressure of population
warrant the increased outlay in pro-
ductiOn.

Korean Ladies Garry Away Every
thing That Is Portable.

Seoul, July 2S.-The Korean ant hill
has been stirred to the very cellar
by the. ~ex-emperor's second pledge of
abdication. A wave of great excite
ment crept over the whole peninsula
when the new agreement with Japan
vas announced and the emperor's pro-
clamation published in the provinces.
All the privileged ladies attached to
the court arrived in crowds at the pal
ace, condoling, weeping, wailing and
incidentally carrying away in their
customary loose clothing all possible
souvenirs.
The ex-emperor wept, saying that
his efforts for many years had been a
mistake and that he should himself
have taken the proposed purse and
was then unable to continue his
speech.
Knowing that the affairs of state
had passed to a new administration
he commended to the cabinets benign
care his son, the new emperor.

CANNOT USE MANS PICTURE.
New Jersey Jurist Issues Injunction
on Request of Thos. A. Edison.

New York, July 2S.-That a mans
picture as we'll as his nam cannot
be used without his consent, has been
laid down as a point in equity law by
Vice-Chancellor Stevens of New Jer-
sey, at Newark.
The picture in dispute is that of
Thos. A. Edison, the inventor. A
firm making a neuralgia cure was the
defendant. MI. Edison applied for an
injunction restraining the concern
from using with it's product a picture
of him accompanied by a facsimile
of a recommendation of the article
purporting to have been written by
him.
The vice-chancellor granted the in
junction. Mr.. Edison contended that
he never authorized the use of his pic
ture, never wrote Or authorized any
recommendation and objected to the
use of both.

SUPPRESS FRENCH LANGUAGE.
Paris Newspaper Greatly Incensed at
German Authorities.

Paris, France.-The French newspa.
pers are greatly incensed over the de-
cision of the German authorities to
suppress the teaching of French in the
common schools of the "lost prov
inces," Alsace and Lorraine. The loss
of the provinces, the statute Of which
in the Place de la Concorde is forever
kept freshly piled with flowers, is the
sorest point in connection with the set
tlement of the Franco-Prussian war,
and the decision to "Germanize" them
by s~uppressing what is the native
tongue for the vast majority of the
population is gall and NORWOOD for
the emotional French people. Stats
tics are cited to prove that along the
frontier four-fifths of the children are
born of French parents and speak
nothing but French.

storm, a warrant was sworn out for
the arrest of Teonlo Petriella, the Ital-
ian who is engineering the present
gigantic strike of the iron ore miners
on the ranges north of here. Some

not succeeded in locating him. Presi-

There is a good deal of suppressed
excitement over the report that 100
Pinkerton detectives were on their
way to protect the big steel corpora
ton mines at Eveleth when an effort
is made to open them Monday. De-
spite the protection offered here by
deputies armed with rifles and revolt
vers, it Is said by the strikers that no

Farmers to Control Cotton.

The Farmers Union in this State is
moving steadily along the lines pro-
posed by the national organization to
secure control of as much of the cotton
crop as possible, and by relieving the
farmers and producers of the burden of
holding it for higher prices, to force
the middle men and spinners to pay a
fair price. The plan suggested as the
only feasible solution of the difficulty,
is the building of a sufficient number OF
warehouses, established at convenient
places in every county, or two or three
such places if necessary, in which the
farmer can store his cotton for a nomi-
nal fee, and at greatly reduced insur-
ance, until the market settles and a
substantial price is offered.

Oysters in their native waters are
wild animals. So the attorney general
OF New York lately informed an as
SCISSOR who asked him whether he
should assess oyster-beds as real or
personal property. When oysters are
artificially planted, according to this
legal opinion, they become "domesti-
Gated, tame, or garden oysters" and
as such are personal property. AL
though the attorney general does not
interpret the law concerning satisfy,
or oyster-plant, it is probable that the
courts would hold that this also, when
tanned, is personal property. 1t GER
tainly would be when cooked and
eaten.
