IMPROVE NATIONS HARBoRS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Sentiments
in favor of a government bond issue for
a comprehensive Improvement of the
rivers, harbors and canals of the coun-
try to the end that this nation shall
have the greatest system of waterways
in the world, gained Roadway at the
opening of the annual meeting of the
rivers and harbors congress here today.
The scheme contemplates $500,0OOO 600
worth of federal bonds for Internal
water courses, to be distributed over a
ten-year period, or $50, 100000 annually.
President Roosevelt and President
elect Taft before the joint conservation

of government bonds for constructing
permanent public Improvements.
The speakers included Vice President
Fairbanks, Andrew Carnegie, Ambas-
sador Bryce, Seth Low of New York,
Representative Joseph e. Ransdell,
Representative Champ Clark of Mis-
souri,, Governor George E. Chamber

The advocacy by Governor Chamber
lain of Oregon for the defeat of sena-

pened. Burns and Williams were shoV-
cling the rock and dirt dislodged by
giant powder, ond were farthest in
side the hole. Without warning the
rock above began to fall, and although
the other workmen, who saw the dam
ger, shouted a warning, the two men
were unable to escape
AS soon as the air was cleared of the
dust the workmen entered the hole and
sought to rescue their two comrades.
Spurred on by the thought that the
men might not have been killed and
that quick work was necessary to pre-
vent their suffocation, they worked
heroically. The quantity of debris was
more than they estimated, and more
than half an hour elapsed before they
had cleared 1t away.
Both evidently had been killed in
stantly.
A messenger was sent to the nearest
telephone and the news of the acct
dent was communicated to the aque-
duct board at Los Angeles. The cor
oner in turn was notified and repre-
sentative of Bresee Bros, undertakers,
left last night for the scene of the &C
cident and will bring the bodies to this
city some time today.
Chief Engineer William Mulholland
said last night that the amount of rock
that fell would not cause any appre-
ciable delay in the work. 1T is prob
able" Mr.. Mulholland said, that the
blast 1oosened some of the overhead
rock, weakened already by a seam or
fault. This fell without warning, kill

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. Capt.
Augustus F. Rodgers, assistant superin-
tendent of the United States coast sur
vey and said to be-the oldest official in
the employ of the government, died
early today Mt his home in this city,
after an illness of but three hours. He
would have been so years old If he had
lived until January / next.
Although Capt. Rodgers health had
been a source Of anxiety for some time,
principally because of his advanced age,
his death was unexpected. He spent
the entire day yesterday in his office in
the federal building, but shortly before
10 o'clock last night began to cough
violently, and suffocation, caused by
heart failure, ensued. He died few
hours later.
Capt. Rodgers entered the govern
ment service in 1S47; came to California
three years later and for many years
had charge Of the coast and geodetic
survey of the Pacific coast, Alaska and
the Philippine islands. He was son
of Commodore John Rodgers, who de-
Tended Baltimore in the war of 1872 and
who at the time of his death was at
the head of the navy.
Capt. Rodgers had three brothers in
the navy, only one of whom, Rear Adj
miraI John r. Rodgers, is living. He is
survived by his widow and seven chill
dren.

FANATIC WHO TOOK PART
IN FATAL RIOT VANISHES

KArSAS CITY, Mo-, Dec. efforts
of the police to find John Sharp, hailed
by his ten fanatical followers as sec
ond Messiah, failed today to reveal his
movements. after the bloody fight yes
terday with the police.
The only clew so far secured is that
he went into a barber shop owned by
a negro shortly after the tragedy and
had his hair trimmed and his long
beard shaved off. Chief of Police
Ahearn has issued circulars giving
Sharp's description and offering a re-
ward for his capture.
No other names have been added to
yesterdays list of deaths due to the
riot between the police and fanatics
Policeman Michael Mullane. who was
the most seriously hurt, rallied slight
ly early in the day and physicians say
he has an even chance for recovery.
Sergeant Patrick Clark and A. J.
Seller, a bystander who was shot
through the lung, are both steadily i'm
proving.
At the general hospital Louis Pratt,
first disciple of Sharp and father of
the girl who was killed, is lying on his
cot with his right leg amputated at the
knee and a bullet in his brain. He
persists he is divinely guided and up
held, and is bitter in his denunciation
of the police. Regarding his religious
faith he has little to say.
Mrs. Pratt and her four surviving
children are detained at police head
quarters and Mrs. Sharp is in Jail.
None of them exhibit any emotion
when speaking of the death of Lulu
Pratt, but calmly assert it was Gods
will. The police say the two women
and the two other girls, Mary and
Lena. will be charged with murder.
Five residents of a mission in the
north end frequented by Sharp's fol-
lowers are held for examination.

DE CASTELLANE
IS DENOUNCED
COUNT BITTERLY ARRAIG NED
BY ATTORNEY
FRENCH SOCIETY CROWDS THE
COURT TO HEAR TRIAL
Lawyer for Princess de Sagan Caus=
tcalIy Condemns Her Former
Husband for Domestic Con-
duct-Defends Prince

PARIS, Dec. 9.-French society
crowded the court room in the Palace
of Justice today to hear M. Julemier,
speaking in the name of the Princess
de Sagan, to oppose the suit entered
by Count Boni de Castellane, in which
he petitions the custody of his three
children be given to his mother, the
Marquise de Castellane.
When Princess de Sagan, formerly
Miss Anna Gould, secured a divorce
from the Count de Castellane, custody
of her children was awarded to her.
If M. Bonnet, speaking for the count,
did not spare Prince de Sagan fort
night ago, M. Julemier was no less de-
mandatory and bitter in his charac-
terization on this occasion of the count.
De Castellane's sole motive in en-
tering this suit, he charged, was hatred
of De Sagan; the very thought of the
prince occupying place in the affec-
lions of his former wife and living in
the superb mansion on the Avenue
Malakoff, goaded De Castellane 10
fury
The count, said M. Julemier, did
everything possible to hinder the mar
riage of his former wife to De Sagan,
and having failed in this, he was now
seeking by every means in his power
to bring discredit upon the De Sagan
household.
M. Julemier declared De-Sagan never
had been expelled from any club and
that while In Buenos Ayres he did not
lead the adventurous life charged to
him. These and other accusations,
counsel declared, were base calumnies,
concocted by the man who had squan-
dered the fortune of Miss Gould and
left her with debts amounting to ST.
200 900 to settle.
IN. de Castellane has reproached M.
de Sagan for living humbly in hired
rooms" continued the lawyer. "Why
did he not offer him asylum in one of
the seven homes he continually fire.
quents?"
M. Julemier then accused the count
of furnishing mendacious information
to the Gould family in the hope of
thwarting his rival.
