SAY POISONING WAS
DUE TO PUTRID BEEF
Wholesale Illness and Deaths Subse.
quent to Feast at Launching of
Prometheus Blamed to
Cheap Meat

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1S.-At a
conference held this afternoon between
DR.. J. j. Hogan of Vallejo, DR.. Mar
tin Regensburger, president of the
state board of health, and Coroner Lee
land of San Francisco, to inquire into
the poisoning of number of guests
who attended the launching of the col
lier Prometheus last week at Mare
Island, it was decided that decayed
beef was responsible for the illness that
followed the luncheon served by Ca
terer L. S. Cohen.
At the conference DR.. Hogan said:
1.-THE contract with Cohen called for
prime beef, and we have found that
he served meat that he purchased for
Z cents a pound. This inferior \meat
was cooked rare and kept in that state
for two days"
The three physicians agreed that the
poisoning was due to putrid beef, and
that while the symptoms were similar
to those of ptomaine poisoning, the
maladY was not the same.
The inquest over the body of j. G.
Reynolds, the waiter, who died pre-
sumably from the effects of the food
which was served at the navy yard,
will be held early this week.

S. P. STEAMER RAMMED BY
FREIGHTER AND GOES DOWN
Vessel Plying Between Sacramento
and San Francisco Sinks In Seven
Feet of Water-Is Badly
Disabled

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 13-The South
eru Pacific mail and passenger steamer
Modoc plying between this city and
San Francisco, was rammed by the
freighter Valetta on the river three
miles this side of CORTLAND at 1880
O'Clock this morning and sank in about
seven feet Of water.
Owing to the presence OF mind ana
prompt action of Capt. B. N. Rideout
of the Modoc, the disabled steamer was
rushed to the shallow side of the river,
dashed to the bank and the passengers
and part of the cargo transferred to
the Valetta without mishap.
The total loss because of the acct
dent 1t is estimated will be $4,000 In
cargo, damage to the steamer and
charter money for vessel to take the
run until the Modoc can be placed back
in commission.
Where the blame for the accident be-
longs is a matter of speculation.
The steamers collided in a dense fog.
According to reports received tonight
the crew of the Modoc claims no sig
nails were heard from the Valetta,
which was going down stream.
on the other hand, it is stated by
residents of CORTLAND that when the
Modoc passed the town at l o'clock
it was blowing fog whistle every
few seconds.

though the courts decree also award
ed her possession of several vast tracts
of land in Kentucky and West Nlr-
ginia.
If rumors now current in society
circles here-declared on high author
ity to have emanated direct from Mrs.
Maybricks mother, the Baroness Won
Rouues, who was joint plaintiff with
her daughter in the suits-are to be
relied upon, Mrs. Maybrick and her
mother will erect a handsome villa
and make their home exclusively in
Virginia.
They have spent some time here and
are very popular.
Mrs. Maybrick is said to be quite
sensitive regarding the stigma which
she fears may attach to her in the
minds of many because of her having
served in the English prison on the
charge of murder, although many
thousands of persons believed her in
nocent and joined in the memorable
petition for her release.
The fact that her receptions here
have always been the most cordial
possible has caused both Mrs. May
brick and the baroness to become deep
ly attached to the city.
She is said to be contemplating the
compilation of a book dealing with the
dramatic features of her trying expert
ences in England, after she has become
cozily ensconced in her new home.

HEAD OF CENSUS
BUREAU ACCUSED
INSlSTENT RUM0R B0THERS
WASHINGT0NIANS
North Denies He Entered Into Deal
on Wool Schedule, but Champ
Clark Says He
Did

WASHINGTON. Dec. 13.-In connec-
ton with the sessions of the ways and
means committee for the revision of the
tariff, there are many rumors and de-
malls, especially regarding the number
of wealthy manufacturers who are
here, 1t is said, to lobby for certain
tariff reductions or increases, and all
of whom do not go before the commit
tee personally, but who seek to accom-
plish their purpose by Indirect methods.
Among the rumors which have caused
no little sensation here is that tnYolV-
ing S. N. D. North, director of the
census department, who is accused Of
assisting in a tariff deal on the wool
schedule when the Dingley bill was be-
ing framed.
This rumor has been supported by
Champ Clark, minority leader of the
house, who has gone so far as to make
the charge publicly At the time the
Dingley bill was framed Mr.. North was
an extra clerk in the finance committee
and is accused of having encouraged
legislation beneficial to a certain class
of wool manufacturers.
North says whatever interest he took
in the framing of the Dingley bill was
in the capacity OF a private citizen.
