THE WONDER
 IF FRISCO
 
 When Did Haas the Suicide Get that DerPingeP? A VERY BITTER DISSENS|ON Between the Graft Prosecu- ton and the Police Depart ment has Sprung out of an Attempt to Locate Care lessness.
4 VERY BITTER D|SstNs|0N

San Francisco, Nov. 19.-The ques- ton of how Morris Haas obtained or concealed the derringer with which he committed suicide on Saturday night was the principal subject of inquiry at the cOroner's inquest. Dissension is
 bitter and the feeling between the pros. ecution and the police, and in the po- lice department itself as a result of 1 Haas suicide was strongly reflected in
 the testimony given.
 pr. T. B. Leland, the coroner. was
 assisted in the inquiry by District At
 torney Lansdon. who however. Virtu-
 ally confined himself to eliciting testi-
 mony supporting the contention of the
 prosecution that the weapon was pass
 cd to Haas by some one after he was
 taken to the county jail. The theory of Chief of Police Biggy and Captain of Detectives Kelly is that Haas had the derringer, a very small single barrel affair, concealed in his shoe. and that it was overlooked when Haas was searched by Special Agent w. J. Burns and Captain of Police Duke. The lat ter is the only police official who has taken a stand with the prosecution in the controversy.
 To give the jury an example wheth- CT the derringer could or could not have been concealed in the mans shoe, Deputy Coroner Davis put on one of Haas shoes and placed the weapon in it, inside his stocking. Davis declared that the weapon caused him very little inconvenience. As his ankle measure ments however, are considerably less than Haas, the test was not regarded as conclusive.
 While admitting that he did not search the prisoners shoes, Captain of Police Duke said on the stand that he thoroughly examined Haas clothing and felt around his ankles. He assert ed with great Dositiveness that if the weapon had been in either shoe he would have discovered it. Burns tes- tified to having made a thorough search of Haas, and l have been searching men for twenty years he-I added. He told of the attempt of PO- licemen Attridge and Kelly, the latter the son of the captain of detectives, to prevent his seeing Haas at the county jail when he went there with Lang don. the policemen stating that they had orders from the chiefs office not to let Burns or any man see the prls- oner" Burns said he did not search | Haas shoes. believing that would be done later when the prisoner arrived | at the jail

A BROTHERS SACRIFICE
He Will be a Candidate for Mayor Again and Carry on His Fight of the Last Seven Years for the People of Cleveland.

Cleveland. Nov. 19.-Mayor Tom Johnson, for years credited with pos sessing a very large fortune announced today that he had lost everything and would be compelled to give up his beautiful home on Euclid Avenue and move into smaller and less expensive quarters. The mayor stated that he would give up his automobile and other luxuries because he could no longer afford to keep them.
 His fortune was wrecked, the mayor declared, by his devotion to the affairs of the estate of his dead brother Albert, who was heavily interested in traction properties in the east
 After Albert's death. the question put up to him was whether he would resign his office of mayor and take up the management of Albert's estate The mayor said today: T decided that I would not. I had entered the fight in this city with certain ideals before me. I wanted to fight the special in terests and had already decided to give up working for dollars.

 On the night of November 16 the dOwager empress called the members of the grand council together and talked with them for some time. She was lying prone but fully dressed. After one hours consultation the councillors were dismissed but told to return at two o'clock in the morn- ing with the edicts prepared to an- nounce the succession to the throne When they reported, her majesty was able to signify her assent to these particular edicts but immediately af- ter having done this she declared: q can bear no hlore," and relapsed into unconsciousness.
 The emperor and dOwager empress were dead or mOribund when the re- gency edicts were issued. As soon as it was actually known throughout the palace that their majesties were dead, a condition of panic ensued. Wad Tung Chi attempted to commit suicide because she saw she would not be made dowager empress. Many palace eunochs fled, carrying with them such valuables as they could lay their hands on.
 The dowager empress Yohenala was one of the few who retained their presence of mind. She ordered the gates to be guarded and gave other instructions for maintenance and res toration of order. Pu Vi, the baby emperor, has been taken from his family and cared for within the pal- ace precincts.

AUSTRALIAN FISHERMEN.

The aboriginals of the Australian
coastal regions, like most of the native
South sea islanders, are extremely clev-
er fishermen. In the case of the Aus
tralian native tackle is often confined to
a slender hard wood spear, grotesquely
carved.
Armed with such a weapon the "black
fellow" will take a perch upon some con-
venient rock and gaze steadily into the
wonderfully transparent blue water. In
tuition and long observation seem to
supply an almost uncanny knowledge as
to the habits and haunts of different fish
at stated times, and it is no uncommon
feat for this type of fishermen to rise
suddenly to his feet and send his rude
spear hurting through thirty feet of
space before it enters the water to pierce
clean through the body of a big schnap-
per, a fine mullet or jew fish, almost as
long as the fisherman is tall
Then the native leaps into the water
and wades or swims ashore, dragging his
prize after him by the gills.-London

BEES MASTER OF THE ROAD.
Farmers Mishap That Stopped Travel

A curious incident is reported from St.
Prieure, near Chambery, where two colo
MES of bees in a state of instruction
have routed everybody from the neigh
borhood and are still masters of the
road.
The cure of a neighboring place, ac-
cOmpanied by farmer, came to take
possession of two beehives which the
farmer loaded on a cart drawn by two
oxen. Half way home one of the hives
fell off the cart and was broken up. The
bees on being liberated attacked the
farmer with fury, and stung him so
violently that the poor man tainted and
fell on the road. The cure came to his
rescue, but in his hurry upset the other
live, from which the bees also escaped
and attacked him in turn.
Workmen from the fields round about
heard the cries and rescued both men.

attended by a doctor. Meanwhile the
bees attacked the oxen and stung them
so fiercely that the two beasts started
on a mad race down the road, and were
finally stopped by woman, who in turn
was surrounded not only by the bees of
the first two hives, but apparently by all
the bees in the neighborhood. and had
herself to be rescued by the villagers.
So savage have the bees become that
the highway is said still to be i'll their

MACHINE WARNS OF FROST.
Electric Device Which Has Saved Many
Orchards in Cold Weather

Scientific fruit raising in the larger
orchards of the irrigated belt in the far
northwest has been benefited by an in
vention, the credit of which is thought
to belong to some unknown Chinaman,
says the Boston Transcript. This is the
electric frost foreteller. 1t is a little
thermometer, set to declare itself on the
safe side of the frost line. and when the
releasing limit is reached it rings a
bell in the orchardist's bedroom and
keeps it up until he gets up and turns
the switch.
The next step is hasty visit to the
orchard, where are located at intervals
covered pots filled with crude petroleum.
To each of these he touches match or
torch; a dense smudge envelops the
trees and the danger is over; the lids
are put back and the fires go out. An
inspector of these orchards says the
s1nudge pots viii keep the orchards eight
degrees warmer than those not supplied
with them. and they have frequently
been brought safely through cold nights
that have ruined the products of adjoin-
ing ranches.
The simplicity of such a device. if it
is all that is claimed for it. makes it
easily available for orchardists all over
the country, whether in Florida or Mas
sachusetts, and it could be applied to
market gardens or private gardens as
