Jack London's New Book.

Jack London has just written book of 142,000 words entitled "Martin Edcn." The Pacific Monthly has pur- chased for $7,00O the serial rights for this vivid story. It began in the Sep tember number of the Pacific Month ly and will run for twelve months.
 ''Martin Eden" is character study the story of fighter---a fighter as a newsboy in the alleys of San Fran cisco; u fighter as a rowdy in slums; and finally, q fighter for education and culture, struggling against the odds of common birth and vulgar en- vironment, with desperation of courage that presents powerful blending of brutality of strength with sublimity of purpose. His inspiration Is q woman of the higher sphere of life, but his motive is the mighty inn pulse that animates soul and brain born to expand until lettering ignor- ance is sundered and ignoblc innu- once trompled under foot.
 It is not too much to say of Mar tin Eden" that it possesses more of fascination and virility, grips the im- agination and tho sympathios more keenly, and imparts more of courage, than any book produced in years.
 Send 50 cents in stamps to the Pa- oiflc Monthly and they will mail you the Pacific Monthly for six months beginning with the September num- Der, in which the first installmont of London's story appears,

SUPERSTITION Is
 FINE LARGE HUNCH
Capt; 0'Brien Shys At Fri- day, The Thirteenth, And
 Escapes Bad Storm

Expectations concerning Friday, the thirteenth, are some times good things to possess. If you have doubts confer with Capt. O'Brien, master of the Alaska Steamship ompany's steamship Yucatan, when next that vessel arrives in port.
 On her last trip south the Yucatan was scheduled to depart on Friday, November 13, but with plenty of super stition and little regard for schedules Capt. O'Brien said ''nO sir, I'll quit the sea before I'd get out of any port on such d combination of day and date" And so the Yucatan departed from Valdez at midnight of the elev- enth and got away from Cordova at 7 o'clock on the evening of the twelfth. Now she is nearing her home port, her entire voyage having been as free from accident and from incl dent as though she were in lake.
 The Gucatan passed Juneau Satur- day night, but the Bertha, which de- parted from CordoVa at the same time stopped at Katalla and is now beating up and down behind Kyal island, stormbound. The Pennsyl- vania has for forty-eight hours been hove to some fifty miles off Cape St. Elias, waiting for the storm to modi- fy so that it will be safe for her to come inside. A message received about noon from Cordova says that the Pennsylvania has passed St. Elias and it is believed that she will arrive here tonight

COURT EXPLAINS
 IN BOWERS CASE

In open court this morning Judge Reid ordered stricken from the rec ords that part of his verbal castiga. tion of Deputy Marshal Bowers in which accusations of drunkenness are made. Judge Reid made the state mcnt that in it's criticism of the dep- uty the court last Saturday acted on incorrect information, so far as the charges of fintOXication are concerned, and that it was q duty, not only to Deputy Bowers but the court as well to set the subject publicly in it's prop CT light.
 Judge Reid stated that by his own investigations he has ascertaincd that Deputy Bowers is an abstainer from alcoholic drink, and that the informa- tion upon which tho court acted in the first instance is absolutely un- founded.
 'As l have said before" said Judge Reid, "l have no friends to reward and have no ehcmics to punish, and it is hereby ordered that that portion of the record in which Mr. Bowers is criticised for having been under the influence of intoXicants when he served the special venire in question, be eXpunged from the records"

JURORS ANGRY AT
 THEIR TREATMENT
Men Who Decide One Of The Butler Cases Say Stutfy
 Cabin Is Outrage

Confined for the greater portion of the period in stufy cabin, character ized as being unfit fora dog, the jurors whose duty it was to decide the fate of George Butler, charged with selling liquor without a license, are recalling with indignation the twcnty-six hours during which they were as effectively i'll the tolls of the law as would have been the case had they been felons. If all that some of tho jurors say be true, they were :trcatcd worse than the man they convicted will be treated during whatsoever period of time the court elects to bestow as punishment.
 The jurors declare that they were taken from the court room and hcrded into small shack near the office of Ostrander & Donohoe. There were no adjuncts to comfort; if a man wanted to lie down he had to lie on the floor, and fire sufficient to keep the chill away created of the room such a stink-ho le as to mako some of the jurors sick.
 @hNNtSN No Oiio 'Ii otOloliS NlIS- comfort consequent upon confining twelve men to a small mvcntilatCd room, the jurors were assailCd by the further stench of q privy. Some of the jurors say that hereafter reference to historical Libby prison will have real meaning for them.
 As further, grievance the jurors complain that their cndcaVOr to keep secret their deliberations met with failure. They all agree that the man. ner in which verdict was reached was to be a thing of knowledge only to those locked in the stuify shack, but it is declared that no sooner were they at liberty than they began to near rccountcd the various phases of the progress to a decision. The jurors are convinced that this information came from other source than from members of the jury.
 This combination of what they de- clare is travesty upon the sacred right to secrecy vouchafcd by the law to a jury, and the punishment meted out to a citizen who is doing his duty by the law, has in the minds of certain ones of the jurors created distaste for the jury system. some of the jurors are in favor of taking such steps as. may prevent repeti- tion of these evils in the case of others summoned as citizens to do their part in the conduct of tho laws machinery.
 After being out forty-cight hours the jury that heard the case in which Butler was accused of selling liquor to an Indian, was discharged, they failing to agree.

3O2 MINERS ARE
 BURNED IN SHAFT

Berlin, Nov. 1l-Three hundred and two miners are believed to be burned to death in tho lower levels of q mine near Hamm, Westphalia. The trag- edy is the result of an explosion of fire damp that coming yesterday af- tcrnoon brought to the mine all the residents of Hamm except those who wore at work under ground.
 Of the 3S0 mon in the shaft at the time of the explosion only four es- capped uninjured. Thirty-fve badly burned men were taken from the shaft late last night and this morning the bodies of thirty more were brought to the surface.
 The scene around the entrance to the main shaft of the mino is in- describablo. Old mon and women whose children are beneath the sur face, girls whose swoethearts are inn prisoned and dead, young wives, and children, all having some loved one in the depths of the inferno are yet lingering near tho shaft entrance, al- though there is no longer any hope that those who arc below will ever ascend alive.

PROSECUTOR HENEY
 IS SHOT IN HEAD
Former Convict Attempts To Kill Nemesis Of San Fran
 cisco Grafters

San Francisco, Nov. 14-Francis Heney, special prosecutor in the gra it cases was shot and dangerously wounded yesterday afternoon. The shooting took place during a recess Ill the progress of tho third trial of Abe Ruef, and the would-bc assassin is M. Haas, exposed by Iiency as d former convict.
 At the time of the shooting the cor riders of the building being used as d court house were crowded and the utmost cNcitment prevailed. The bullet struck Hency in the head and for d time it was believed that he had been killed. The injured man was taken into private room and several physicians were called. It was found that he was alive and he was hurried to hospital, where this morning it Is reported that ho will live.
 lIcney's assailant was arrested al- most immediately, and was hustled away from the crowd that was de- manding vengeance. Only few of those present knew who il was that fired the shot, and before this infor- nation could become general Haas was i'll jail. A special detail of police soon cleared the corridors of the building.
 Immediately after the shooting it was reported that cmissarics of Rucf had killed lleney. Every effort was made to keep the facts from the jury, which was locked up, the trial being continued indefinitely.
 Haas, the aSSailant, declares, how ever, that the shooting is the result of causes purely personal to himself. Haas was drawn as Venircman on the second trial of Rucf, and during the examination was by llcncy cX- posed as q former convict, and cX- cused from jury service. Haas says that the exposure has ruined him, as until that time he had successfully concealed his past and was living m the esteem of his fellow men.
 Haas is being held without charge pending the outcome of IIcncy's injuries.

So far searching investigation has failed to make public the identity of the man who Sunday night attempted what is believed to be plan to mur- der, and of which Miss May Murray was by mistake the victim. Miss Mur- ray can afford no clcw to her assail- ant. She says that from the time she was struck until she recovered her senses to find herself lying on the ap- proach to Keystone wharf, all that she can recall is a faint recollection of being carried.
 So soon as Miss Murray had reached her home, Night Marshal Manthey was notified. He at once went to the Murray home, and after learning the nature of the case he summoned Day Marshal Hoffman. Since that time both officers have devoted most of their time to an ondeavor to aScer- tain the identity of the thug. The officers arc roticCnt concerning the affair, and if they have any suspicion as to who committed tho deed they are keeping it very secret.
 Miss Murray is yet suffering from the shock and from the exposure con sequcnt upon the hour or more elaps- ing between the time her captor cast her upon the wharf and her return to herhomo. Relatives and friends of Miss Murray Say that she has no cnp- mics so far as is known and tn ey ex- press the belief that the affair is the unfortunate result of mistaken iden- tity. Others, however, believe that Miss Murray was the intended vic tim.

MISS MAY MURRAY
 VICTIM .0F THUG
Young Woman Is Bound, Gagged And Left To Freeze
 To Death On Wharf

Undoubtedly mistaken for some other person, Miss May Murray was last night made the victim of what is believed to be murdcrous attempt at revenge. Relatives of the young woman believe that only chance pre- vented her death by drowning.
 Miss Murray had been visiting Miss Dunn in the living apartments ad- joining the Ladies Bazaar and about Il o'clock started for home, only a block down Keystone avenue. When in front of the Alameda Miss Murray was struck on the back of the head. She does not remember whether she fell to the sidewalk or was caught in her fall
 After striking his victim the as- sailant wrapped her shawl around her head and neck, bound her hands behind her back and then started to carry her toward the wharf. He had proceeded just beyond the Archibald building when he placed Miss Murray down and rcmarking "frecze damn you, freeze" left her.
 Afraid to cry out lest her assailant return, Miss Murray remained quiet for an hour. She heard persons pass but not until a friendly dog chanced along did she obtain relief. The dog in nosing about Miss MurraY's head slipped the shawl from ono of her eyes and she was enabled to get up.
 still in fear of her assailant's re- turn Miss Murray approached her homo by the back way and going to a window called to her mother, who let her in. Aside from nervous shock and q severe chill from her exposure Miss Murray is nonc2tho worse for her experience.
 Ncws of the affair has caused d feeling of indignation, and should the identity of the assailant be learned beyond doubt it will go hard with him. The circumstances surrounding the affair give crcdcnco to the belief that Miss Murray was mistaken for some one else and that murder was the OlepurpOse of the attack.
