A statement from several prominent ho-

that the negroes are not wanted as wait
ers, porters and bellboys at the Spring
field hostelries.
Proprietor John II. McCreery, of the St
Nicholas, stated this morning:
This trouble makes IL very nearly inn
possible for US to employ colored help
at this time. If we do. a mob might at
tempt to take them from the hotel We
are making every effort to secure white

1t is not only the st. Nicholas that Is
devoid of porters and roustaboUts. The

Will Mobilize Troops
on Pacific Coast
Government to Send Infantry,
Artillery and Cavalry Be-
fore Arrival of Fleet
SPECIAL DISPATCH 10 THE CALL

OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 79.-It became
known here today that while Admiral
Bob Evans big fleet of battleships is
Fastening to the Pacific coast, prepara-
tions are making by the war depart
ment for a big mobilization of troops
in California. When the fleet reaches
the coast the mobilization of the
troops will have been effected
The announcement that troops are to
be gathered on the coast by the time
the fleet arrives there has given rise to
suspicion that the sending of the
fleet on the long voyage is for some
other purpose than the one given out
at Washington. So carefully have its
preparations for military concentration
been guarded by the government that
no intimation reached the public until
today, when it became known that the
traffic department of the Burlington
and the Union Pacific railroads have
been requested to submit bids for the
transportation of infantry, artillery
and cavalry to the coast.

STOESSEL SUBMITS
HIS FINAL DEFENSE
Says He Was Advised to Sur
render Port Arthur by
KOndratankO

ST. PETERSb JRG, Jan. 29.--The TAX
ing of testimony by the court martial
which is trying Lieutenant General
Stoessel for the surrender of Port Ar
thur fortress came to an end today. and
the court adjourned until February &,
when the closing arguments will be
heard AS final justification for his
surrender of Port Arthur General Stoes-
sci introduced a letter today from Gen
eral Kondratanko, dated October
1s04, in which the writer said he rec
o8nized the necessity of surrendering,
and asked General Stoessel to prepare
the emperor for this and to advise him
to make peace with Japan while the
fortress was still in Russian hands.
General Stoessel addressed the court
saying he could not follow the advice
of General Kondratanko because the
communications passed through too
many hands; consequently he defended
the fortress as long as It existed.

Woman Scratches Two
Burglars to Flight
Forces Robbers 10 Abandon
Plan to Rob House by Des=
perafe Defense at Window

OAKLAND, Jan. 29.-Alone in her
modest home, s14 Fifty-seventh street
without weapon or other aid. Mrs.
Helen McLennan last night bravely
beat off two intending burglars, smash
ing one intruder between the eyes with
her clenched fists and tearing away
great handfuls of his hair with a cour-
age born of the emergency The men
were trying to force an entrance
through Mrs. MacLennans bedroom
window, but owing to her timely re-
sistance neither of them crossed the
sill. Mrs. MacLennan is the wife of
John III. MacLennan. a salesman for
who is on the road during six months
in the year At the time of the attack
her husband was away and her sleep
ing neighbors were unaware of her
predicaiaent
Mrs. MacLennan. who is small but
beautiful woman, had been entertaining
company in her home last evening, the
guests leaving at $50 o'clock. She imme-
diately retired. AS is her custom when
alone, she left a light burning in her
room and lay down upon the bed to
read before going to sleep. For an
hour she was undisturbed.
wIELDs PAPER WEIGHT
Spurred to nervous alarm by a graf
ing sound at the nearest window, Mrs
MacLennan hastily arose at -1o:45
and quietly slipped into a wrapper
Then the window sash went up with a
bang and dark form began scram-
bling up from the outside. In one hand
was a brick; the other lay bare upon
,the SILL. Mrs. MacLennan grasped the
situation in a moment and without
screaming brought paper weight
down forcibly on the bare hand. caus-
ing the intruder to swear and release
his hold.
Leaning from the window. which is
almost seven feet above the ground.
Mrs MacLennan then fought off the
man who had sought entrance to her
bedchamber with all the natural energy
she possessed. Although a dead shot,
she had no weapon in the house and so
was compelled to rely solely on her fin-
ger nails and fists.
Realizing that should the burglar
once get inside of the room she would
be overpowered. Mrs. MacLennan kept
Thim outside by a series of ferocious
scratches and vigorous blows into his
face The mans nose was bleeding
when he finally desisted and skunk
away In the darkness. and much of his
hair lay about In small handfuls at the
scene of combat.
Is VICTOR IN BATTLE
AS soon as she was positive the in
truder was gone, Mrs. MacLennan
dressed quickly and hurried to the
home of a neighbor. with whom she
passed the remainder of the night This
morning she laid plans for her protec-
ton in future. and being dead shot
it is easy to guess the means employed.
Unlike some women in similar emer-
gencies. Mrs. MacLennan at no time
thought OF fainting. She is a daughter
of A. BeaI. a cattle king of Montrose.

cape from custody to be accomplished
on the lonely road between this city
and the county Jail, Sheriff Lawrence
Dolan has doubled the guard over the
slippery prisoner, and has taken
every precaution to prevent the car
rying out of the suspected plot.
Two deputy sheriffs, fully armed and
with instructions TO keep Ruef prisoner
at any cost, now accompany him in his
automobile during all the time he is
absent from the JAIL and the strictest
orders have been issued concerning
the methods to be adopted at the first
suspicious sign made by either the
fallen boss or the chauffeur in charge
of the car Should Ruef attempt to
put into execution the plan which it is
believed he has already arranged the
first appearance of a rescue party would
be the signal for action by the deputy
sheriffs to the end of preventing their
alive.
Details of a startling plot with the
object of rescuing the ex-boss and
carrying him out of the country we're
whispered yesterday in several quar-
ters where the graft situation is most
closely followed, and absurd such a
scheme of capture might appear in or
binary circumstances, it is given color
by a full knowledge of prior events.
RUFF FOSTERS PLOT
Most sensational of the exposui es
the proof that Ruef himself acauiesced
in the details of just such a plot which
was Matched several months ago when
he was held prisoner under Elisor Big
gy in the private Fillmore street jail.
and the outline of which later was laid
before the grand jury.
The former plan of rescue contem-
plated the overpowering of Ruef's
guards while he was on one Of his
daily automobile rides in lonely por-
tion of Golden Gate park. Ruef was
to have been taken by boat and wagon
to lonely hut in the mountains no ar
Chico, where he was to have been held
under close guard All this was told
to the grand jury by detective who
was originally employed through
agents of Calhoun's detective bureau
to carry out some of the details, bat it
was not known at that time that Ruef
himself was a party to the plot and
had personally arranged many of the
details. The knowledge that this was
so has since come into the hands of the
graft prosecution.
Ruefs present plan is said to be the
outgrowth of existing conditions which
have permitted him to be practically
at liberty every day. When his case
was first called in Judge Lawlor's court
Ruef pleaded that he must have free
Lawlor made an order permitting Ruef
to be absent from the county Jail from
9 until o'clock each day, and Ruef has
availed himself of the opportunity. to
ride about from place to place almost at
will, in his own automobile, driven by
his own chauffeur. and with only one
or two deputy sheriffs to guard him.
Ruef usually returns to the county
Jail over the lonely roads south of the
city just a dusk, and 1t was in some
quiet spot on the outskirts of the city
where the break for liberty was to
have been made.
If an attack should be made by an
Ruefs chauffeur should turn with him
against the two guards in the auto
mobile, their battle to keep him pris-
oner would be desperate one. 1t Is

necessity of Hawaii remaining in the

this out of the question.
