GREAT FISH STORY
ABOUT HERRING
INTERESTING AND ABSOLUTE
LY RELIABLE ACCOUNT OF A
VAST SCHOOL OF THEM IN
SHoALWATER BAY.

Judge J. ]. Brumbach, prosecuting
attorney OF Pacific county, and J. ).
Simpson, who is engaged with Geo.
p. Clark in exporting the books OF
that county, were in the city last
night, having come over on some
official business connected with the
investigation OF the accounts there.
They say that Mr.. Clark was taken
slightly i'll short time ago and went
to the hospital at South Bend, and
while his sickness soon responded to
the hospital treatment that he was
very reluctant to leave the instiu-
ton. There is hint of romance
in the hospital end of the story.
Mr.. Simpson also says that while
coming out Of Shoalwater Bay yes
terday on the steamer Reliable they
ran into a school OF herring so vast
in numbers that the vessel could
hardly plow her way through. Mr..
Simpson says the tale is fact, actual
fact The herring were so thick in
the water that the revolving propeller
threw thousands of them into the air.
He even dipped his hat down into the
water and brought up nothing but
herring. Mr.. Simpson, who was en-
thusiastic in telling the fish tale, pass
ed long enough to say that the job OF
exporting the Pacific coAnty books
will probably be completed in about
ten days. He will then commence
work on the municipal accounts Of
South Bend.

Real Or Fancied Enemies.

city by persons threatening his life
until he fears that he must leave the
United Staes, the Rev. Michael Ser
vetka, a Polish priest OF Newark, n.
J., appealed to the police OF that city
for protection, and to be placed
aboard a steamer bound for Europe.
He was recently assigned temporar
lily to the Holy Trinity Catholic
Church in Newark and hardly had
been established there when he re-
ceived one OF the letters that has been
troubling him.
Father Servetka turned over to the
police three letters which he has re-
ceived during the last three weeks
The first came while he was sta
toned in Brooklyn and he then went
to Elizabethport, N. J,,>where another
letter reached him The last came to
when he weat to Newark.
The priest told the Newark police
that while he was stationed in Brook

by two men who seized him by the
throat and demanded $1,000 from him
Since he has been in Newark, little
lss than a week, he feels sure he has
been followed constantly.

SELF DEFENSE
MAN WHO CUT AND SLASHED
FIVE HINDUS IN FRIGHTFUL
MANNER HAS RETAINED AN
ATTORNEY.

Emil Jansen, the Belgian who cut
and slashed FIVE Hindus Monday
evening, will be arraigned this morn
ing in Justice Goodman's court
@Janssen has retained c. ]. Curtis
as his attorney and it is understood
that he will plead not guilty to the
charge and will fight the matter as
best he may. Wherein he will be
able to find a defense does not yet
appear, though it is understood he
viii claim that he merely protected
himself, while the prosecution will in
al probability endeavor to show that
the FIVE men who were cut so fright
fully were not even engaged IN the
fracas but were innocent bystand-
ers." A noteworthy feature of the
matter is the sympathy that is being
expressed for Jansen among certain
classes of people. Some boldly aver
that the Hindus "got just what was
coming" to them, and naturally these
people have nothing but praise for
The Belgian in his wild attack while

Nevertheless, there is also strong

effect that even if the Hindus are not

here, and are a peaceable, law-abid-
ING and Woodworking class, they
should be given the fullest protec-
ton of the law.

immoral San Francisco After
White Slave Trade
ONE CASE TO Be TRIED
Henry Villette Faces Charge Of
Bringing a Young French Girl to
This Country For Immoral Pur-
poses--organized Campaign Begun

! SAN FRANCISCO, Aug, i3.-Thc
first trial to take place as q result OF
the determined effort to crush out the
white slave trade carried on by the sc
called Protective League" will begin
today when Henry Villette faces the
court on charge OF having brought
Marguerite Paisseul young French
girl, to this country and placed her
in an immoral house at Chicago and
in this city, violating the clause OF the
immigration laws prohibiting the i'm
portation OF alien women for immoral
purposes,
Villette was arrested several days
ago and placed under $4,000 bail
bonds because OF information given
the immigration authorities by the
girl when the latter was apprehended
at Tucson, Ariz. The maximum pun
ishment for the offense charged is FIVE
years Imprisonment and $4,000 fine
The girl will appear against Villette.
Special agents OF the immigration
commission are now in this city in
augurating an organized campaign
against the white slave trade, They
declare that the protective league
is represented in many middle west,
ern and eastern cities and say that
Villette is a member OF this organi
zation. The object OF the league IS
to afford its members financial as.
sistance in case OF prosecution, ac-
cording to the government officials
and the commission is determined to
crush it out OF existence.
In addition to the tight against the
league the immigration officials are
about 10 commence war on alien
inmates OF houses OF ill-fame who
have been in this country less than
three years. This action will be taken
under the law which provides that
any alien woman who has been in the
United States less than three years
and is known to be prostitute may
be deported.
Evidence that II is hoped will lead
to the department OF a great many
women OF the half.world has already
been secured and the officials declare
that the fight will be waged without
pause until this phase OF the matter
has been blotted out.

W1cKERSHAM WINS.
Ballot Box Stufing A Feature OF AL
aska Election.

SEATTLE, Aug. 13-A special
message to the Post Intelligencer
from Fairbanks, says that James Vic
kersham has a plurality Of 1855 which
cannot be overcome even though there
are many PRECINCTS yet to hear from.
He carried all three divisions Of the
territory. .t.
The sensation OF election day was
the voting OF the railroad laborers at
Cordova, where the Guggenheims are
building a railroad. Although Cordo-
va had only few score inhabitants,
there were 925 votes cast of which 700
were for Corson.
Throughout the entire district there
is great jubilation over the fact that
the candidates were pledged to ter
ritorial form Of government and as
Wickersham is the foremost champion
of home rule the government at
Washington will not likely give its
ear to the protests Of Governor Hog
gait in this regard any longer
Some Of the precincts in Alaska
will not be heard from for 80 days
but there will be less than 1000 votes
come in from these outlying districts.

| SEOUL. Aug. ia novel situati
on has developed in the case OF tht
Corean editor OF the vernacular edi
tion of the Daily News who was ar,
rested July Is, charged with eompli.
city in the alleged disappearance oi
a portion OF what is known as the
Corean national loan redemption fund
which amounted to 2s0000 yen.
Alter a preliminary hearing the ed
itor wcs committed for public trial
August Is.
The Daily News was formerly own
ed by +. T. Bethel, an Englishman,
who recently was sentenced to a term
in prison at Shanghai after a con
viction in the British consular court
OF using the columns of his paper to
incite the Coreans to riot.
The Coreans national loan redemp-
tion fund was originally collected,
partly with the assistance OF BethePs
newspapers with the object OF paying
the Corean National debt OF Japan.
1t was asserted by Bsthefs friends
that arrest of the Corean editor OF
the News was secured by the Japan.
ese because he was the chief witness
in behalf OF Bethel during the latter's
trial. Every evening. the Corean edi-
tor, who was seriously i'll, was sent
to a hospital. During the transfer
he eluded his guards and went to
BethePs Office. Bethel hoisted the
British flag over his gate and refused
to allow the police to enter or to sur
render the prisoner, claiming for
him extra-territorial protection.
The British consul. who has been
embarrassed by Betheps action is
conferring by cable with Ambassador
Macdonald at Toxic as to what
course to pursue. The whole affair
has created great sensation in Seoul
and its final development will be en-
joyed by everyone except the Brit
ish consul and the Corean and Jap
anese authorities.
The Corean government asserts
that the redemption fund which was
contributed to by poor people who
made many sacrifices in the belief
that the payment of the national debt
would free Corea from the yoke of
Japan has been in great part misap
propriated.
The Corean editor places the re-
sponsibility for the fund on Bethel,
who asserts that he is entirely inno-
cent OF any misappropriation and that
he can account for the entire fund,
which he says he invested in loans to
various foreigners in Seoul and also
in shares.
Bethel has been called as a witness
by the British consul in the Corean
editors trial and he will be required
to swear to his statement of the dis
position OF the fund.
In the meanwhile the trial Of
the editor must be postponed snless
Bethel surrenders him.

st. LOUIS MAY
REPEAT TRIP
Japanese Send invitation for
Them TO Return This
Year.

The latest sensation in local baseball
circles has come through a letter re-
ceived by the st. Louis Alumni Assoc
citation from Japan. It seems that the
trip made by the Hawaii team last
year was such success, that the Jap
anese players are anxious to have 1t
repeated. They have sent most
cordial invitation to the Saints to re-
peat the excursion and the matter is
being talked over now.
with the many plans now in the air
for baseball teams from the Coast to
come here, to go to Japan, for the
Japanese to come here and the local
team to go to Japan, the situation is
rather complex. The first plan of the
Saint Louis team was for nine from
Keio University to come to this city
and play here against the local ball
players and also against a team from
Santa Clara College of California. The
second scheme, and one which seems
likely to go through. is for a team from
the Coast to go to Japan, stopping
here on its way back, to play a series
of games. Now this third plan, for
the Saints to repeat their trip to the
Orient, has come in.
OF all these ideas, the one which
seems most likely to be carried out
is for the Coast team to make the trip
to Japan, stopping over here. Such
men as Frank Chance and Hal Chase
are anxious to make the trip. In fact,
since the journey made by Mfque Fish
er's team to this city, it would be easy
to pick up fifty ball players from the
National and American leagues. who
would be only too glad to sign on for
the series. Another reason that this
plan is likely TO go through is that
Jess Woods, who handled the trip Of
the Spaldings. is to leave for the Coast
next month and will have a chance to
talk the matter over in San Francisco,
where many of the National and
American league players spend their
winters. Taking the matter up with

NO SPIT-BALL
FOR CHESBRO

NEW YORK, January 4. - Jack
Chesbro, father of the spit-ban. has
decided to give up entirely the freak
delivery that made him great and IA
nous. CHESHIRE will be back with the
Yankees next spring and he expects to
have a very good year without the
aid of the wet curve. He believes that
the spit-ball ruined his throwing arm
and says that no pitcher can use 1t
successfully for more than two or
three years.
When Chesbro came back to the
New York team last fall he did not
work the ''spftters'' at all. He de-
voted his practise entirely to the old
curves he relied on before the advent
of the new one. He, says that in few
weeks he began to notice the differ
ence in his arm. The old suppleness
of the wrist and forearm returned and
he began to throw easily with his old
free delivery.
Chesbro's manner of delivering the
damp fling he believes, put him out
of the class of great pitchers. It is
essential in using this curve that no
twist be given the bali. It is permitted
to slide smoothly OFF the 6ampened
fingers In order to accomplish this
perfectly, Chesbro threw the ball with
wrist and forearm stiff and straight.
He says that the constant strain of
this set of muscles eventually untitled
him to throw any kind of a curve.
That the spit-ban is harmful to the
arms of pitchers had been the theory
of McGraw and other wise baseball
men, but some of the twirlers who de-
pended on it largely insist that. prop
erly used, it is no greater strain on
the arm than any other curve.

That the trip of the St. Louis tear' to
Japan was good thing there is no
doubt and all would like to see them
make the journey again, but they
would rather fade out here, when COM

as Chance and Chase. There was only

whom he made through his playing
showed how people here take TO good
