DIED FROM FIRE.
Prisoner Sets Fire to Kerosene
Soaked Blanket cell-Mate Burned.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 6. -
Tragedy attended the investigation
that was begun today into the con-
dition OF the city and county Jail.
Judge Cook who was being escorted
about the Jail by Supt, Herman on
a tour of inspection had scarcely
passed in front of cell l04 when
Arthur Blessin, prisoner awaiting
trial on a charge of assault, set fire
to blanket, damp with kerosene, and
waved it about the cell John Olson,
who occupied the same compartment,
endeavored to quench the fire and
hastily wrapped another blanket
about the blaze. Assistance was
rendered with all possible speed and
after the fire was out the two men,
badly burned about the hands, head
and body were hurried to the Central
Emergency Hospital Blessin died

Blessin had sprinkled the blanket
with coal oil which he was allowed

ton Of food.

NEW YORK, Feb. Ono immc-
diate move will be made to secure the
release of Harry X. Thaw from the
insane asylum at Matteawan, accord
ing to an interview credited to Russell
Peabody, Thaw's personal counsel.
Ii has been practically decided that
there is no way under the law by
which Thaw can be confined in a
private sanitarium instead Of the
Matteawan institution, and his law
yers and family are said to have
agreed that it would be unwise to ask
for his release now Martin W. Lit
tleton, who conducted Thaw's de-
fense in court, left yesterday for
six weeks vacation in Florida and it
is possible that no move will be made
in the case before his return. II ID
said that the physicians at the asylum
will not recommend Thaw's release
until they have had from 90 to 90
days in which to observe him.

Frisco Has An 0ver-plus Of
Coal
DON'T CHANGE
PRICES
Blockade Was Caused by Wholesale
Chartering That Followed Near
Famine Last Winter-Price so Far
Have Not Taken Any Tumble.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 6--For
the first time in the history of the
port, cargoes of coal from various
parts of the world have arrived in
such numbers that blockage has
resulted and more than $4,000 tons
of the black diamonds fill vessels that
are unable at present to find oppor-
tunity to discharge their huge loads.
Hall that quantity Of coal is not dis
charging into bunkers and hoppers,
10000 tons more of coal are hourly
expected in port from the mines and
add to the glut and $4,000 tons are
being stored in vessels chartered for
warehouse purposes.
The blockade was caused by the
wholesale chartering that followed a
near famine last winter and the prev
ious season, when some big yards
could not serve their best customers.
Whether the immense supply now
here will result in cheaper coal re-
mains to be seen. So far prices have
been taken no appreciable tumble.
Six ships and steamers that were
idle in port have been chartered for
use as warehouses and this fleet, with
its capacity for about $4,000 tons, will
in all probability be increased if suit
able vessels can be secured

ports from some Of the manufacturing

Two Conventions Held In The

FOR AND AGAINST ROOSEVELT
Police Were on Duty in Hall and
Were Frequently Called to Eject
Unruly Delegates-Nine- -Tenths Of
Both Conventions Were Negroes.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla, Feb. o.
Florida Republicans stand con-
spicuously in the lime light today as
being the first to hold their conven-
ton to select delegates to the ma
tional convention and it is said here
that strenuous and exciting scenes
were enacted today are forecast OF
similar scenes in the other southern
states, caused by the efforts of anti
Roosevelt Republicans for control in
the national convention. Two con-
ventions really convened at the same
time in the same hall The progress
Of business was frequently interrupt
ed by knockdown and drag-out fights.
The officeholders' faction was call
ed to order by the state chairman and
they proclaimed themselves the regu-
lar party They adopted resolutions
endorsing Roosevelt's policies and
endorsing Taft for president On the
other side Of the hall the anti-Taft
convention took a conservative action
and chose delegates untrammeled by
instructions.
They claim that altogether branded
as bolters by the other convention

resolutions strongly condemning the
attempts to influence and control by
the use OF federal patronage through

vention. The city marshal and a

on to eject unruly delegates. Nine
tenths of both conventions were

Present Surplus OF Cars Causes
Trouble And Expense
CARS RETURNED TO OWNERS
The Railroads Would Prefer to Let
Other Roads Use Their Cars Free
of Charge Rather Than to Haul
and Store Them.

CHICAGO, Feb. 6. A special
meeting OF the American Railway
Association to consider the decrease
in traffic which had resulted on jan
uary p in surplus OF 33o,053 cars,
began in Chicago and will continue
today and tomorrow The decrease
is shown to be startling report of
the efficiency committee February 6,
1907, when shortage of l04,226 cars
was reported, and appeals were made
by shippers to congress to pass laws
requiring the railroads to increase
their equipments to meet traffic de-
mands.
The chief work of the association
probably will be the consideration of
the per diem charges for cars in the
service of railroads other than the
owners, The per diem charge here
tofore has been 50 cents upon foreign
cars, With the present great surplus
OF cars the charge has caused the i'm
mediate return of foreign cars to their
care at great expense and conse-
quent storage The railroads would
prefer to let other roads use their
cars free of charge rather than be
forced to haul and store them over
their systems, and it is likely that
this fact will lead the association to
suspend the per diem charge upon
foreign cars until they situation
clears up,

MAY BE MURDER.


MARTINEZ, Cal, Feb Ok
citcment has been aroused in this
vicinity by the finding of a mans
dismembcred body floating in the bay
near the sugar refinery at Crockett
yesterday Only the legs and torso
OF the body were found, the head and
trunk having been hacked or torn
away and there are many circumst-
ances which suggest that a brutal
murder has been committed, Who
the victim was and how he met death
are questions the authorities so Tar
have been unable to throw any light.
Identification is impossible because
the head, trunk and most OF the
clothing are now missing and unless
the boatmen who are now searching
the bay should unearth the rest OF
the body the mystery will remain
unsolvcd. The clue to the identity
is the clothing OF the legs and abb
domen of the body Under instruc-
tions Of the sheriff's Office, boatmen
have been making a careful search on
adjacent portions Of the bay today
in the hope of finding the missing
trunk and head but their efforts have
been without result.
Portious of clothing which still
cling to the body indicates that the
man had been dressed.
An inquest will probably be held
today.
