An avalanche descended Sunday
near the village of Goppenstein, near
Berne, Switzerland. The enormous
atmospheric pressure which accom-
panied it demolished a hotel at the
mouth of the Loethchenthal tunnel
works, killing thirteen persons and
injuring fifteen others.
The occupants of the hotel, num-
bering thirty, were surprised while
seated at the table by sinister rum
blings. Almost Immediately two chill
dren rushed into the dining room and
screamed "An avalanche, an ava
lanche." There was a rush to escape,
but the building, which was of a tenn
porary nature, collapsed without warn
ing.
Both of the children were killed
along with many of those they had
sought to save. Among the others
killed was an American engineer,
named Mervert, who was installing
American machinery to be used for
tunnelling.
The hotel had been erected by the
tunnel contractors for the convenience
of the engineers and others engaged
in construction work. There were no
tourists there.
The village postofiice and police
station also were seriously damaged
by the air wave and were keeled over
to an angle of forty-five degrees, max
ing their occupancy impossible. The
tunnel works were not damaged.

.ACH'S SlUR TURNED
IN RENEY'S FAVOR
Attack on Prosecutor by Ruef's
Attorneys Comes Back Like
a Boomerang
No New Jurors Selected and a
Special Venire Is Called for
This Morning

Henry Ach caught Tartar yester-
day during the examination of Thomas
w. Rivers, a talesman in the Ruef case,
when he attempted to bait Francis J..
Heney with a reference to the Contra
Costa water company. The slur was
intended to be in line with the attack
made upon Heney for having taken
a fee fora aservices performed for the
company, but the answer was one that
Ach did not expect. Heney politely re-
ferred him to Garret W. McEnerney,
chief counsel for the Examiner, which
has been most malignant in the attack
on the special prosecutor.
The talesman had stated that he did
not know William ]. Dingee and was
then asked by Ach If he knew any offi-
cial of the Contra Costa water COM
pany. He answered in the negative,
although he had previously stated that
he knew McEnerney.
You know Garret w. McEnerney,
chief counsel for the company. do you
not?" questioned Heney. noting the dis
crepancy.
Did you know Mr.. McEnerney when
Mr.. Heney was representing the water
company" interrupted Ach before Riv-
ers could answer.
Under Garret McEnerney," COM
mented Heney with smile The REL
erence to McEnerney forestalled FUR
ther persual of the subject by Ach-
Rivers was formerly a member OF
the notorious solid nine" in the board
of supervisors under Mayor Phelan and
was one of those ousted by Phelan
Ach questioned him in perfunctory
manner and 1t was evident that his de-
sire was to secure Rivers as juror
especially when he admitted that he
owned so shares of United Railroads
stock and knew Phil Crimmins, Cal
the tables by forcing Rivers to admit
his hatred for Phelan and strong
bias against the prosecution, and even
then Ach contested Heney's challenge.
which was sustained, however, Dy
Judge Lawlor.
During the morning session OF court
an unknown crank, who declared tnat
he was from the country, caused
slight commotion in the hallway out
side the courtroom by stating that he
had come to assault Heney because ne
had attended school under him at one
time and been chastised by him. he
approached Ach and asked him IL he
was not Heney. He received most
fervent negative reply from Rue1 at
torney and disappeared Immediately
afterward-
No progress was made in the selec-
tion of the jury yesterday, all the
talesmen examined being excused for
opinion or bias or because they were
not on the assessment roll. A new

WASONf TO WORLD.
ANOTHER TO WIFE
Death Solves the Life Mystery
of Well Known Local
Sporting Man

Baff1ing in the extreme was the dis
coyery made recently by Katherine de
Mott When she learned that her late
husband. with whom she had lived for
over 20 years, knowing him as Joseph
de Mott, was none other than Joseph
Ordish, one of the most eccentric
sporting men the city has known. He
dropped dead suddenly several months
ago. To the world he was Ordish-to
his wife he was De, Mott. Along with
this discovery came the news that he
had left an estate valued at $4,000 in
New York and also grown daughter,
of whose existence the woman had
hitherto no knowledge
The dual life was quite in accord
with the eccentric characteristics of the
man. His reasons were his own and
with him have gone to the grave. He
left no sign, had whispered no word
from which a conclusion could be
drawn to explain his action. To the
world he was as much mystery as he
was to his wife None knew where he
lived or anything of his previous his
tory. He did his work as book keeper
for Harry Corbett, the sportsman, un-
der the name of Ordish, and then van
ished to appear before his wife as De
Mott. Even at the funeral his closest
friends, seeing Mrs. de Mott dressed in
mourning, did not know her as the dead
mans widow. They had never seen
her, never known of her. Even then
she did not know that the real name
of the man whose body was being
lowered into the grave was Ordish
Six months after the funeral she Wis
tied the Office of the public administra-
tor ito ask about the estate of Joseph
de Mott and was told, to her great
surprise, that no such estate existed.
A few days later, while going through
Ordish's personal effects, one of the
deputies discovered a letter addressed
to Joseph de Mott. The woman's visit
was recalled and an immediate hunt
made for her. A few days later the
existence of an estate in New York was
brought plight, and as in the face of
the strange circumstances there were
the probabilities of a. legal battle be-
tween Mrs. de Mott and the daughter
in the east, the former put the case
into the hands of Attorney Theodore
Roche. Negotiations for settlement
are now under way.
Qrdish was extremely silent during
his lifetime He never volunteered in
formation of any kind and took par
ticular pains to elude those who were
apt to grow too interested in his af-
fairs. During dun seasons he surprised
the sporting fraternity by voluntarily
reducing his own wages.
