CRANE TO KNOW
Ills FATE TODAY
DIPLOMAT AND KNOX BOTH
ARE SILENT
NEW MINISTER TO CHINA MAY
RELY ON TAFT
Mysterious Recall of Envoy from San
Francisco May Be Explained
soon-Secretary Knox
Inaccessible
TBy Associated Press.1

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.-Tomorrow
probably will see the determination Oh
the question whether Charles r. crane
will be requested to resign his recent
ly acquired office of ministr to China,
or will be permitted to resume his
journey to Pelting.
Silence surrounded the situation TO-
day. Secretary Knox was inaccessl-
BILE and Mr.. Crane would not discuss
the matter. Notwithstanding the gem
eral expectation that he would have
a decisive conference at noon with
the secretary, he did not call at the
department
It came at last to be believed that
the whole business has been referred
to President Taft 1t was supposed
that kilograms had been sent to the
president last night, after an extend
ed conference at Secretary Knox S
house, which followed upon Mr..
Cranes arrival at San Francisco.
No developments are expected pend
ing advices from the president. The
interview last night in which Mr..
Knox, Mr. Crane and William M.
Hoyt, special counsel of the depart
ment, participated, is believed to have
resulted in a clear understanding with
respect to Mr.. Cranes connection wi h
the publication whose disclosures the
state department officials so strongly
deprecated.
Much discussion has arisen here re-
garding the possible effect upon the
relations of the United States and
Japan, of the premature announce
ment of possible protest of this gov
ernment against the material conces-
sions which in the new treaties China
Would Not Protest
Students of the situation pointed out
that no conflict with Japan could rise
since the United States alone would
not protest, and if protest were made
it would pe in conjunction with the
other leading powers interested in the
future of China.
In such an event it would be unlike
ly, they argued that China would be
adverse to recasting the treaties nj the
direction of greater liberty for herself.
AS for Japan, she could hardly af-
ford to resist united representation
on the part of number of'th great
powers to the effect that these trtatles
carried with them violation of her
own pledges embodied in the treaty of
Portsmouth.
Mr.. Crane returned to his hotel
shortly before midnight. after passing
the evening in company with Walter
L. Fisher a Chicago attorney. Mr.
Crane declared nothing had occurred
during the day to alter his plans for
sailing on the Korea for Peking on the
goth, and that he fully expected to
do so.
Mr.. Crane said that he had not seen
Secretary Knox this evening, but that
he rather expected to see him tomor-
row.
Asked if he believed Mr.. Crane
would go to his post at Peking, Mr.
Fisher said:
"You know, it took a great deal Of
much consideration on Mr. Cranes
part before he decided to accept the
ministership to China. I do not think,
therefore, that it makes much differ
ence to him whether he goes to China
or not"

MORSE DOOMED
TO PRISON CELL
APPELLATE COURT UPH0LDS
FORMER VERDICT
ICE KING MAY HAVE TO SERVE
FIFTEEN YEARS
Only Ten of Ffty-three indictments
Are Sustained-Flnaneier VIII
Take Case to Higher
Tribunal
tBy Associated Press !

NEW YORK, Oct. 11.-Unless the su-
preme court of the United States re-
verses the decision or the president of
the United States interferes, Charles
w. Morse, one-time lice king" coast
wise steamship line organizer, banker
and capitalist, will serve fifteen years
at hard labor in the federal prison at
Atlanta, Ga. After having been at
liberty under $125000 bail since June l
last he is back in the Tombs prison to-
night on account of a decision of the
United States circuit court of appeals
today sustaining the lower court, which
found himN guilty in November last of
violating the national banking laws.
There was solace in the decision,
however in that only ten Of the fifty
three indictments on which he was
convicted were sustained.
On the strength of this his counsel,
Martin w. Littleton, will carry the case
Immediately before the United States
supreme court on writ of certiorari.
TO this end the United States court
of appeals has granted a forty-day
stay of execution, and applications will
be made to have the prisoner admitted
to bail again.
Morse took the decision calmly. He
heard the news in the office of United
States Marshal Henkel and almost i'm
mediately left the federal building in
custody of an officer for the Tombs.
Morse was not handcuffed.
One of Mr.. Morses keenest regrets
at being forced to return to prison is
the interrupting of the beaver-like
struggle to rebuild his fortune.
During his liberation under bail he
had been reelected president Of the
Metropolitan Steamship company,
New England corporation, and of the
Hudson Navigating company, operat-
ing line Of boats on the Hudson.
He is credited with having dis
charged the bulk of his debts. From
the two big transportation lines that
had within the week elected Morse as
their president there was no official
statement forthcoming after today's
decision.
1t was understood that, for the time
being at least, the election would
stand,
Los Angeles herald., 1909-10-12

and he will assist in getting up 3
party to go UP there and be fully pre-
pared with repaired and healthy
lungs, megaphones and other devices
to do some of Greater Los Angeles
style of boosting for the Los Angeles
car.
The Jack Rabbit" has been in the
hands of the automobile tuners for
some time, getting a general look over
the car not requiring any repairs Of,
any kind, and the decision Is arrived
at by the experts that she is five,
possibly ten miles faster than she was
in the Santa Monica road races, due
to the fact that the car has run some
thing like three thousand miles over
the road since, and the engine is
worked out to such an extent that 1t
will carry a higher gear than 1t would
ever do before.
Hanshue and his mechanician, Less
Gehricke, are also in fine fettle, and
as Bob Evans would say, "are fit as
fiddles' to just go up there and show
those northern people a stunt that will
bring home the silverware, gold
watches, coin and all else that they
have hanging on the prize limbs Of the
automobile tree.
IF the Jack Rabbit" IS five to ten
miles faster than she was in the San
ia Monica road races, she should have
no trouble showing the fast cars al
ready entered the way over the course,
for there is no better driver than faith
full Harris Hanshue, whose most ex-
cellent Judgment carries weight with
any event to which he gives approVsi.

THREE POSSES WILL
PURSUE WILLIE BOY
Supervisors of San Bernardino County
Empower RaIphs to Utilize Every
Means at Hand to Capture
Murderer
Especial to The Herald.I

SAN BERNARDINO, Oct. 11.-With
the approval of the county supervisors
which was given today to outfit any
expedition that he believes necessary
to capture Willie Poy, Sheriff John
Ralphs of this city has now started
active preparations to throw into the
rugged desert regions, where the mur-
derer is still hiding, the strongest
posse Of officers ever started in search
of a criminal in this section.
Composed of men hardened to the
desert conditions and used to the sad
die, three posses will be started We'd
nesday morning at daybreak to the
scene of the last stand of the fugitive
and at various points within a radius
of a hundred or more miles supply de-
pots will be located the wagons con-
tanning hay and grain having already
started out from both Victorville and
Banning.
Only horses accustomed to the desert
will be taken and so careful Is the
sheriff In his selection that only seven
have so far been picked with which to
outfit the expedition. From thirty to
fifty men will make up the posses and
each will be supplied with Indian
trailers and men to care for the pack
animals, which are to be used to keep
the men following the fugitive in sup
ply of provisions, without which it will
be impossible to continually press on
after the fleeing murderer.
To Start Wednesday
Sheriff John Ralphs at the head of
one posse will leave here Wednesday
morning for the country in which the
last hunt was conducted, and will prob
ably go to the Pipes by the way Of Big
Bear valley. Deputy Sheriff George
Hewins, who was Ralphs' able lieuten-
ant during the nine days chase from
Daggett, will be in charge of a second
party that will leave at the same time
from Victorville, and will enter the
country In which the murderer was last
seen from the Rose mine section. Ben
De Cerevecoeur of Banning, at the head
of the third posse, will leave from that
point following the course taken by
Willie Boy after the murder of Mike
Bonaface to Rock Coral near where
the battle between the fugitive and the
officers took place on Thursday.
If no trail of the Indian leaving his
garrison is found, the officers will sur
round the mountain and storm the little
fort hidden deep in the rugged granite
peaks.
From the meat of the dead horse,
which fell beneath his fire, the Indian
will be able to live and probably, by
drying it, lay in a store that would sus-
tain him in a prolonged seige. Instead
Of only few cartridges, it is now
learned that the murderer is in posses
sion of 600 steel bullets, can of smoke
less powder and a reloading outfit, with
which, as he empties his shells-all Of
which he has saVed-he can reload
them, and with this amount of ammu-
milton fight for days all attacks from

Car Was Beautiful

One of the richest, handsomely
dressed machines ever seen on the
streets of Los Angeles, was the Frank
lin sixty-horse power in which ms
excellencv. William H. Taft and his
honor. Mayor Alexander. rode n the
parade of yesterday. The car was
mass of handsome yellow chrysanthe-
NUNS roses and carnations, with large
satin bows of yellow ribbons gracefully
futtering in the wind Ralph c. H nm

thing that President Taft learned
while here. it is that Hamlin knows

FOR THE GLORY
OF LOS ANGELES
SAYS AUTO MAN
"JACK RABBIT" TO BE ENTERED
IN P0RTOLA RACES
TO TRY TO PULL DOWN PRIZES
FOR HOME TOWN
Shelter VIII Send Hanshue, Mechan-
ician and Car to San Franz
cisco After Road
Events

If ever there was a man who took
a true sportsman's delight in further
ing the interests of Los Angeles in the
automobile line, that man is Leon I.
Shelter Winning Shelter is the same
generous victor he is the genial deal
er in automobiles. If Shelter loses he
is the same dead game man as before
he went into the contest. There Is no
whining, no murmuring. He simply
takes a delight in anything that will
advance the interests of automobile
business-a part Of which business,
and a very large part today, is the
racing end Of it. This is growing, and
necessarily so. For when there is
speed the natural tendencies and am
bitions of owners and drivers is to
make speed, try to beat the other fell
low. And this was true when the man
took the reins over the back of a Cal
ifornia or Kentucky bred horse. 1t is
true today of the automobile.
There are to be some races in san
Portola events, and in these races the
best known makes Of cars have been
entered from the city of the north.
Los Angeles was about to be left out
in the cold. There were good big
prizes attached to the events. No one
from here came forward to say we IL
go up and represent Los Angeles, any
how" Shelter discovered the over
sight and with his customary prompt
ness said "this will never do; Los
Angeles must have something to say
about these fast races and fast driv--
ers that have been imported from all
over the country"
The result is that he has announced
that he will enter his Jack Rabbit"
and scarcely will this paper have been
read before Harris Hanshue, one of
the best known, most popular and
level headed drivers in the United
States, will leave this city with the
Rabbit" making the trip overland by
way of Santa Barbara, and there pre-
pare for the big events of october %.
Shelter will enter the car in the
second and third events, providing
Hanshue thinks the course is in proper
condition for what is actually fast
work. and Mr. Shelter states that he
is doing this as much for the fact that
we want to pull down these prizes for
Los Angeles as for any other reason"
Another most excellent suggestion is
made by Mr. Shelter, which is that
as there will likely be large number
of enthusiasts on the automobile
question desiring to go to San Fran
cisco to be present at these races, that
these persons communicate with him,

The vortex of the tornado was a
short distance west of Havana. The
wind sugsided tonight AT Arroyo
Narajo the new tuberculosis hospital
was blown down and many patients
injured.
In the height of the storm a small
Spanish steamer struck the wreck of
the old battleship Maine and remained
fastened to it until pulled off by tugs.
To what extent the districts outside
the city have suffered cannot be de-
termined here as wire communication
has been cut Off
The fatalities in the city were con-
fined to one family, five members of
which were killed when the roof Of
their home fell in upon them.
At Regla, across the harbor from Ha-
vana, fifty small craft were sunk or
driven ashore.
1t was rumored that a steamer with
two tunnels, was ashore on the beach
east of MORO Castle, but the truth of
the report could not be determined,
as the wireless apparatus at Moro
was down and the heavy sea made it
impossible to cross the harbor.
1t is believed the damage to the to-
baeco crop will be limited to the de-
struction of seed beds, which it is not
too late to replant.
The storm, combining a terrific
wind and a torrential downpour of
rain, reached the city from the west
ward at 2 o'clock this morning, and
did not subside until well toward noon
The streets were flooded and electric
power plants were rendered inopera-
tive.
