Four Young Persons Hurled from Car

Angeles Man Is
Injured

BY Associated Press.
SAN BERNARDINO. June 17.-An
automobile accident last niC.-t resulted
in the death of Miss Bessie Dart,
daughter Of l.. s. Dart of Redlands
and serious injury to Miss Edna Dud-
ley, also of Redlands. Thomas Jones
of Los Angeles and William Taylor Of
Monrovia were slightly injured. The
young folks were proceeding west on
Base Line and discovering that the
road was closed turned back. While
supposing they were keeping in the
center of the road they plunged from
the embankment, the machine rolling
over to the bottom Of the gully. Miss
Dart was thrown out half way down
the hill and was run over, her neck
being broken. Miss dudley was pin
nioned beneath the automobile. Her
hip was injured and her body was
badly crushed. Jones and Taylor were
bruised and cut, but they escaped
serious injuries.
At the point where the accident
occurred the road suddenly jogs. An
unwhitewashed fence was all the safe
guard there was to warn conveyances
of a turn in the road and on both ends
Of the jog street lights are lined up in
way that misleads drivers.

SAN FRANCISCO. June 17.-Acting
under orders from District Attorney
William H. Langdon the board of SUI
pervisors shortly after o'clock to-
night adopted a resolution declaring
Mayor Eugene E. Schmitz temporarily
unable to perform his official duties
and appointing Supervisor James L.
Gallagher acting mayor. The latter
says he will assume the mayoralty at
once, and he denies that he has made
with the district attorney or with any
one else any agreement to resign at
command, in order to make way for a
reform mayor whose name is yet to
be announced.
Mr.. Langdon, Assistant District At
torney Heney, Rudolph Spreckels and
their immediate associates in the
bribery-graft prosecution are by this
move placed in actual control of the
municipal situation. That they will be
allowed to so remain without legal
contest by the convicted mayors at
torneys is not suspected.
1t is the plan of the prosecuting
forces to call for the resignation in a
few days of some one of the eighteen
supervisors. This Forthcoming, Acting
Mayor Gallagher will appoint to the
vacancy a man named by the district
attorney. So soon as he takes office
Gallagher will resign from the mayors
chair and his resignation will be ac-.
cepted The board, acting under or
ders from the prosecution, will then
elect the new member its president

The man most persiStently mentioned
for this place is Attorney Joseph
Dwyer, president of the Independence
league, but that political connection is
said to render him unacceptable to

of the whole bribery graft investiga-
ton.

NAVY DEPARTMENT IS
FORCED TO CONTRACT
WITH FOREIGN VESSELS

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, June H.
Despite its disinc1ination to do
so the navy department has
been obliged to enter into
contract with a New York
brokerage firm for the shipment
of American coal from the At
lantic to the Pacific coast in
foreign bottoms. The amount
of the shipments will aggregate
between $4,000 and 10000 tons
each for the navy yard at Mare
Island and the naval station at
Bremerton, Wash. The de-
partrnent was unable to make
contracts for the transport of
the coal in American bottoms
because of the lack of such
ships, and taking advantage of
a section of the revised statutes
which, it is claimed, confers
such authority the secretary of
the navy has entered into a
contract for foreign ships.
The matter when first sug-
gested brought out a vigorous
protest from the Merchant
Marine league of the United
States, but the department felt
that it was justified in making
the arrangements it has. BY
providing that American coal
shall be furnished the officials
say that they are encouraging
one American industry at least.

Japanese Becoming Calm

BY Associated Press.
TOXIC, June 1.-THE text of a
resolution which has been adopted by
the constitutional party is as follows;
The persecution of our compatriots
is deeply to be regretted, for the sahe
of both. America and Japan, but we
must not forget that there exists be-
tween the two nations the closest
friendship, which might almost be
called an alliance. In face Of the pro-
fessionsi of the government at Wash
ington and the American people In
general, such incidents as are. reported
to have occurred must not be taken
as expressions of their will. 1t is be-
lieved therefore that the question, II
properly handled, is capable of just
and intelligent solution.
We must refrain from becoming ex-
cited over unlawful conduct on the
the national cause. We expect that a
proper settlement will soon be reached
through peaceful diplomacy.

Social Democrats In Russia Planning
Revenge for Dismissal Of the
Douma-strons opposi-
tIon Encountered
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 1.-THE
chances of proclamation of a general
strike In answer to the government s
coup detat are steadily lessening. The
question is under discussion at secret
conference Of the central committee OF
the Social Democrats which is be-
ing held in Finland, but a strong cur
rent of opposition Is known to pre-
vail, not only upon the part of the
Moderate leaders but also among the
adherents of the radical members. A
fractional part of the moderates urge
that the government is now so strong
ly intrenched that a strike would be
futile and only weaken the prestige of
the party and involve the rank and file
and the industrial proletariat in Sc
ries of reprisals and immense pecuniary
loss.
The conference, which is attended by
all the members of the lower house
who have not been addressed, probably
will content itself with issuing series
of proclamations addressed to the peas
antry, army and navy and the work
men, accusing the government of vio-
lating faith with the country by alter
ing the election law in defiance of the
imperial pledges and appealing to the
masses to continue the fight to over
throw the existing regime.
The social revolutionists at confer
ence held last night decided against
the proposed strike and appointed a
committee to draft an address to the
peasantry, the army and the navy and
the workmen.
kilograms from practically every city
in the empire announce that the news
of the dissolution of parliament was re-
ceived quietly and with almost an en-
tire absence of demonstration. Even
at Odessa and Kiev no disturbances oc-
Cured.
The prefect Of Kiev issued orders that
no demonstration on the part of reac-
tionists or revo1utionis.s would be al
lowed and that no action on the dis
solution Of parliament be permitted.
The course of Gen. Drachieffski, pre-
feet of police of st. Petersburg. in pro-
hibiting hostile criticism of the gov
ernment was followed most universally
by the governors general throughout
Russia. completely muzzling the liberal

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISC ,, June N.-Im-
portant information Of other indict-
ments to 9 brought against Patrick
Calhoun and his alleged accomplices
for bribing supervisor, not yet mem
toned, came out in the hearing this
afternoon.
Attorney A. A, Moore demanded as
one of his rights that witnesses whose
names appear on the indictments but
whose testimony does not appear in the
transcript be summoned as witnesses.
Forty names are set forth in the in
dictments, but the testimony Of half OF
this number has not been forthcoming.
This, the prosecution explained, was be-
cause there was no Stenographer pres
ent when they testified. Heney OBJ
jected to Moore's demand. Neverthe-
less he said:
"Tll do this for you: The grand jury
is about to bring another indictment
against TREY L. Ford and the others
for bribing supervisor who has not
yet been mentioned. If your honor Is
willing we will file complaint before
him as committing magistrate and
on an information supported by the
testimony Of these witnesses we will
ask that they be held for trial before a
jury. This will give you the testimony
you desire and will not unduly take up
the time of the court"
Moore became very angry at this Of
fer and characterized it as "an inde-
cent bluff
He said he would have nothing to
do with such a matter before a court
as high as the superior bench.
Judge Lawlor said that he had no
time to begin the proceedings, and
though the offer stood, it was passed
over by the defense.

ODESSA, June 17.-It now appears
that the mutiny here of the Black Sea
fleet, consisting of eight battleships,
cruisers and vision of torpedo boats,
whose crews in all number 5000 men,
was only discovered just in time to
prevent the planned bombardment of
Odessa and the Caucasian coast towns.
The fleet came here June IL for
practice, and had just entered ODESSA
bay, when Admiral Tseftsinsky, seeing
that the orders were not promptly
obeyed and knowing the mutinous
views animating the crews, suddenly
issued an order to dismantle. the guns
and head back to Sebastopol, where,
after the troops had been sent on
board the warships, several hundred
sailors were disembarked and i'm
prisoned.

was at short range the torpedo boat
suddenly changed her position and
cutter, penetrating the latter's water
tank. The promptitude of the crew in
Bleaching the cutter saved the admiral.
Lieutenant Ruzhek contended that
the whitehead was fired accidentally
but he and three junior lieutenants,
who were sullen and refused to salute
the admiral, were degraded. and later
arrested on the charge of attempting
to sink the cutter.
