NEVADA BANKER
PLACED IN JAIL
THOMAS B. RECKEY GIVES UP
TO OFFICERS
Aged Banker Asks for Privilege of
Sleeping outAde of Dungeon, but
Sheriff Refuses Him Special
Treatment
GBy Associated Press.

GOLDFIELD, New, Oct. 2.-Thomas
B. Hickey, who was recently indicted
on charges growing out of the failure
of a number of banks with which he
was connected, was arrested here to-
day and tonight he occupies a cell in
the Esmeralda county Jail.
The former president of the defunct
state bank arrived this afternoon from
Berkeley, Cal, and two hours after
ward surrendered himself to Sheriff
Ingalls,. The aged banker asked the
sheriff for the privilege of sleeping out
side the Jail in custody of a deputy,
but Sheriff ingalls, told him that he
would be treated the same as any
other prisoner in his charge.
When he was taken to his cell,
hickey complained of the cold and
condition of the mattress. The sheriff
ordered the steam heat turned on and
had a new mattress brought in.
Papers in habeas corpus proceedings
will be brought in the supreme court
in Rickey's behalf. 1t will be claimed
that the act under which he was in
dicted is unconstitutional and further
that the indictment is defective.
The papers are expected here tomor-

SPERRY DECIDES
TO STAY AT SEA
ALL WARSHIPS IN QUARANTINE
AT MANILA
Cholera Epidemic Continues to Such
an Extent That 1t Is Considered
Unwise to Let Sailors
off the Boats
LEY Associated Press.l

MANILA, Oct. 3.-The battleship fleet
has begun to coal preparatory for its
cruise to Japan. The fleet will depart
on the evening of October 9.
Some of the battleships reached Ma
nila with only a few tons of coal in
their bunkers and Golfers went along
side as soon as they were anchored.
Rear Admiral Sperry has finally de-
cided not to land any men here and to
maintain a practical quarantine of the
ships during their stay. Admiral Sper-
ry discussed the question with Cover
nor General Smith this morning and
the above action was determined upon.
There are still several new cases of
cholera daily. and it was decided that
it would be safest and best not to take
any chances of it's spreading to the
fleet.
The officers will be allowed brief
shore liberty under close restrictions.
Forty steamers and launches gayly
decorated paraded today around the
outer line and then up between the two
lines in which the fleet is anchored.
Governor General Smith, Major Gen.
eral John f. Weston and Brigadier
General A. T. Mills, accompanied by
their shtaff, and Fran, Strong, chair
man of the general reception commit
tee, boarded the flagship Connecticut
and spent half an hour with Rear Ad-
miral Sperry. Rear Admiral Sperry
returned their call later in the day.
The final decision of the rear adj
miral to observe quarantine is griev-
ously disappointing, because the rapid
decline Of cholera led the people to
hope that intercourse with the fleet
would be permitted.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-That
President Roosevelt sent Secre-
tary Root to this city to look into
the management of the national
Republican campaign and Mr..
Root reported the difficulty lay
in the collection of campaign
funds by the treasurer, George
r. Sheldon, was the statement
published here today as coming
from a high authority.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-National
Chairman Mack today made an attack
upon the corporation. affiliations of
George r. Sheldon, treasurer Of the
Republican national committee, charg-
ing that Mr.. Sheldon is at this time
connected with no less than seventeen
financial companies
Mr.. Mack made the following state

1.-THE trust and corporation affili-
ations of George r. Sheldon, treasurer
of the Republican national committee,
for the past ten years, make interest
ing reading in view OF the recent de-
velopments in the campaign.
'I wish to recall in this connection
that because of these very accusations
of his, Governor Odeil in 1902 refused
to permit the party leaders to put Mr..
Sheldon in nominations for lieutenant
governor.
Governor Odell at that time declared
he would not accept the denomination
for head of the state ticket If Sheldon
were named as his running mate. But
while the Republican party has re-
fused to put up Mr.. Sheidon's name
for a public office. it h9 S, for the iden-
teal reasons for this refusal, selected
him for it's campaign fund collector.
''This cannot be denied. Most of the
corporations with which Mr.. Sheldon
is identified are capitalized for mil
lions. How much of their stocks is of
the liquid variety can be easily ascer-
tanned. Yet Mr.. Roosevelt has defend
ed him and his resignation was not
demanded when Mr.. Dupont was in
vited to step down and out. Mr.. Du-
pont was only identified with one trust

time intimately identified with no less

10000 CHILDREN
NEARLY STARVED
HEART-RENDING CONDITIONS
IN CHICAGO
Terrible Conditions and Awful Suffer-
ing Revealed by Investigation.
Many Tots Half Clad and
in Dire Need

CHICAGO, Oct. 2.-Ten thousand
school children in Chicago are insuffl-
ciently nourished, some live constantly
on the verge of starvation and many
are not sufficiently clad to keep them
in a healthy condition, according to
report made to the board of education.
Specific instances of poverty noted in
house to house inspection are given
in the report, which is regarded as re-
f1ecting on social conditions in Chi
cago.
Many parents were found to sleep
so late that their children went to
school without breakfast.
In one house, where the father was
out of work and the mother sick, five
children were found to have lived three
days on dry bread and tea.
In another house six children re-
ported that they had lived on one meal
a day.
Five Live on $3.50 Week
Another mother, employed as a
seamstress, said she supported her
four children on $3.50 a week.
Numerous pupils reported inability
to attend school because of inSobriety
of their parents.
EVERY afternoon 1 have to hurry
home from school to get the dinner
declared a pale-faced little girl of IL
years.
It was discovered she was burdened
with the household duties for a father
and five other children. The inspecting
physicians reported her physically ex-
hausted from overwork.
In the poorer sections Of the stock
yards district the most heart-rending
conditions were disclosed. Children de-
serted or left b. parents who had been
sent to Jail were but some of the in
stances.
In one home the children were left
unsupported, the father having commit
ted suicide.
The inspection was made by the child
study branch of the compulsory edu-
cation department, and it is expected
that the school board will take action
on the conditions.
1t is possible that the board may con-
slider the question of free breakfasts
for pupils in the poorer districts.

BABY
SAVED BY MASCOT
OF WRECKED SHIP
[By Associated Press.1

MELBOURNE. Oct. 2.-The cable has
just brought forth details of the res
cue of the castaways from the British
ship Aeon, who spent nearly two
months on Christmas island, an almost
barren coral formation in the Pacific
ocean, whence they were taken several
days ago by the steamer Manuka and
conveyed to Suva, Fiji islands
Mrs. Patrick ana her little baby girl,
who was born under such novel sur
roundings on desert island, were the
first of the castaways to be taken
aboard the Manuka.
Mrs. Patrick is the wife of Chaplain
B. R. Patrick, u. S. N, The infant was
fed on the milk of the Aeon's mascot
goat. which was saved from the wreck
of the steamer.
The work of transferring mother and
child from the shore 10 the ship was
difficult owing to choLpy sea.
The castaways had plenty of pro-
visions and found good water on the
island. The Chinese crew of the Aeon
mutinied and looted ths wreck. While
on Christmas island they refused to
work, and it was necessary for the
white men to always keep an armed
guard over them.

SMUGGLER
DIES IN THE NORTH

SEATTLE, Oct. 2.-In a Post Intel
ligencer special news comes from Port
Townsend of the death in a fisherman's S
camp near that place of one James
Kelly. To every custom official, the
British Columbia and United States
governments Kelly has been for twenty
years one of the most noted smugglers.
He has been under almost constant
surveillance during that term, despite
which he is reputed to have pulled off
more successful smuggling jobs than
any other single individual. He was
captured by revenue cutter and GUS
tom officials in 1900 attempting to land
a party of eleven contraband Chinese
on San Juan island.
He served a year in the federal prison
for that crime. Due to a cleverness
that was considered almost superhu-
man in dozens of other reputed smug-
Cling offenses, he escaped detection.
Kelly was nearly 60 years of age. So
far as is known he has no relatives in
America.

ton of the presidents son-in-law,
Congressman Nicholas Longworth, in
speech today here on the grounds of
the Tri-State exposition, to an audi
ence of several thousand persons who
cheered the sentiment again and
again.
Mr. Longworth's statement was
made during the course of an eulogy
and defense of the present administra-
ton. He first proposed that the Repub-
lican leader for the next eight years
be William H. Taft, the nominee for
the presidency, who If elected, as the
speaker declared he was confident he
would be, should be returned to that
office for a second term.

WIFE ELEcTR0CUTED; CITY
TO PAY HUSBAND $4,000

OAKLAND, Oct. IA jury in the
Alameda county superior court this
morning returned a verdict for $4,000
damages in the suit OF Marshal Da-
voust of Alameda against the city of
Alameda for the electrocuting of his
wife on September 2S, 1898.
Davoust first sued for $4,000 and
was non-suited. A second hearing was
ordered by the supreme court and today
the jury in Judge Ellsworth's court was
only an hour returning its verdict.
A feature of the trial was the effort
of the defense to show that Davoust
had remarked and that therefore the
damages were mitigated considerably.
Judge Ellsworth refused to permit tes-
timony to be given showing that the
wires which killed the woman were
public service wires.
