MUSICIANS IN PROTEST. r.
Aliens Drives Out Americans in
Many Cities,

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 29-
The President today had long talk
with e. V. Gavegan, an attorney repre-
senting labor interests in New York;
Joseph N. Weber, president of the Amer
lean Federation of Musicians, and Philip
Hauser, president of the New York I'M
ion of musicians, who claim that alien
musicians are being brought into this
country in large numbers under con-
tract to displace American musicians.
The President was told that in New
York city whole orchestras of aliens
have been brought to hotels, and that
the same was true as to Chicago and
other cities. The President also was
told that the foreigners included many
Mexicans and that if the laws were in
terpreted differently by the immigration
service of the department of commerce
and labor the invasion could be stopped.
Not only were American musicians los
ing their positions, he was told, but
the foreigners were cutting prices. The
President gave his visitors a note to
Secretary Straus of the department of
commerce and labor, asking that a full
report be made to him as to the charges.

WORLD FAILS TO END.
Lee J. Spangler Leaves Nyacl, N. Y.
Before Dawn-Women Followers
Wait in Vain.

NYACK, N. Y, Dec. 2S.-The end of
the world did not come Sunday, but the
end of the career of Lee J. Spangler as
prophet did.
In fact, Mr.. Spangler did not wait for
sunup of the day which he foretold was
to terminate all things mundane. He
disappeared some time before dawn and
thus escaped, not from the shower of
celestial fireworks which he had predict
ed, but from a torrent of eggs which
would not pass muster even in these
days of the cold storage product. The
eggs had been garnered by male friends
and relatives of the women followers of
the prophet.
Spangler's disappearance proved a
great Disappointment to the band of faith
prepared for the final day. Several of
the ''faithful'-all women-donned their
white robes and went to the morning
train in spite of the absence of their
chief, to meet the thousand saints"
from all parts of the world who were
to arrive to be translated with the
prophet. Never a saint arrived.
A few Of the faint hearted women,
scoffed at by the villagers, dropped out
Of the proceedings right here. Others,
more determined, walked out to Oak
Hill cemetery, followed by jeering
crowd. There they stood, shivering in
the cold, waiting for the fireworks to be-
gin. Now and then they essayed a
hymn or prayer, between shivers, but
the catcalls from the crowd were not
conducive to protracted religious fervor.
AS the hours passed and nothing hap
pened, the little band of devotees melted
away until only three or four were left.
Finally Supt. Halsted of the cemetery
ordered them away, and, with the last
vestige of their faith shattered, they re-
turned to the homes which they had ex-
pected to quit forever. AS many of them
had to face angry husbands, the scene
was anything but the heavenly one they
had looked for
sontb Mountain Which, vas vas u to chs have
been the scene of the translation, but
the cold soon drove all to shelter.

PAINTS AFTER MURDER.
New York Man Kills Fellow Boarder
and Then Lapses Into Deep
Stupor.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Dec. 26.-Harry
Carr Of Syracuse, a machinist for a
typewriter company, was shot and in
stantly killed in boarding house on
Morgan street early today. The shoot
ing, it is alleged, was done by Lytton
Enoch Cordery, a fellow boarder. who
came home shortly after midnight and
raised a disturbance. Carr, with several
others, put Cordery in his room. There,
seized with the idea that he was being
robbed, Cordery, it is alleged, fired a
shot over his shoulder, the bullet pierre
ing Carr's heart. After the shooting
Cordery lapsed into stupor. Cordery
was a bookkeeper for the Goodyear Lum-
Der company and has always borne an
excellent reputation. The police think
from his unusual action and the stupor
into which he sank, that he may have
been affected by drugged liquor.

CLAUS SpRECKELS,
SUGAR KING, DIES
IN SAN FRANCISCO
is STRICKEN WITH PNEUMONIA ON
HIS RETURN FROM VISIT IN
NEW YORK.
WAS PROMINENT IN BUSINESS
Refinery Profits Invested in Many En-
terprises Made Well Known Cali
fornian a Millionaire.
BORN AT LAMsTADT, GERMANY.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec. 90
Claus Spreckels, widely known as the
sugar king of the Pacific coast" died
at 4:30 o'clock today at his home in
this city in his SOth year. The immedi-
ate cause of death was an attack of
pneumonia, which developed with alarm
ing symptoms during the past few days.
His condition last night told his ply
sicians that the end was near and rela-
tives remained at his bedside until the
hour of his death. Rudolph Spreckels,
who returned from Honolulu yesterday
on board the steamer Nippon Maru, was
one of the number.
John D. Spreckels, proprietor of the
San Francisco Call and head of the
Oceanic Steamship company was also in
attendance at his fathers bedside, as
were Mrs. Harry Holbrook and Mrs. w.
Alexander Hamilton, the daughters Of
John D. Spreckels.
Despite his advanced age, Mr..
Spreckels had devoted a large share of
attention to the various enterprises IN
which he was interested in and it was
not more than a month since he appeared
before the ways and means committee of
the House in Washington as an author
ity on the subject of sugar duties. Two
years ago he was attacked by severe
illness, but his vigorous constitution en-
abled him to withstand his sickness and
he was, after q time restored to his
health.

Apart from the Importance which at
tached to Claus Spreckles as the pioneer
sugar refiner of the Pacific coast and as
investor of millions in California and the
Hawaiian islands, the Spreckles family
has for many years been one OF the most
prominent in the state.
John D. Spreckles, his eldest son. has
been for years a deciding influence in
Oriental trade, apart from his other in
terests, and Rudolph, president OF the
First National bank, has been a support
err of the graft prosecutions in this city
to the amount of thousands of dollars IN
addition to his active participation.
Born in Germany.
Claus Spreckles was born at Lamstadt,
Germany, in 1923, and came to the Unit
ed States in 1916.
After being employed for some time
at Charleston, S. c., and New York ne
came to San Francisco, reaching this

promoted the beet sugar industry by es-
tablishing refneries and engaging IN the
farming of beets on large scale
Prominent in Business.
He also built refinery at Philadel-
phia invested largely in the Oceanic
Steamship company and many other en-
terprises including the building Of the
San Joaquin Valley railroad. Many OF
his interests in Hawaii are reported to
have been disposed of by his son Ru-
dolph during the latter's recent trip to
the islands. They included the bank
ing house of Claus Spreckels and Co.
and some real estate.
