| Mr. Barrill said he did not intend to
| go. He said this meant money to him.
| The next evening he met Mr.. Nichols at

| asked Mr.. Barrill why he did not come

Barrill said he did not have the time;
that he was too busy, he could not go.
"Mr. Barrill told me that Mr. Nichols
told him if he would come there and
make statement with reference to DR..
Cooks reaching the summit of Mount
Mckinley he would give him bond
that he would get his money.
"Then the next conversation I had
with Mr. Barrill was the evening be-
fore he started for Seattle. He had
told me before about getting a telegram
from a man by the name of Miller.
'I think Mr.. Miller is photographer
in Seattle. I went to him that evening
and told him we had some men to take
cut to look at some land the next
morning He said to me, I cannot go;
that party Miller from Seattle is at
Missoula, and am to meet him there
tonight. This means from $4,000 to $10,-

"Mr. Barrill stated that he was there
at Mount Mckinley when DR.. Cook
made the ascent of Mount Mckinley.
Mr.. Barrill showed me pictures in a
book and said that the pictures had

me the diary used on the trip, and

tiOLD-UP FAKE
LANDS A THIEF
[By Associated Press. l

PEORIA, ILL.,, Oct. 23.-Driven by a
sudden impulse to get rich quick, James
Mahan, aged 20 years, night agent of
the American Express company at the
Union station here, originated a fake
holdup story after robbing the COM
pany safe of $4,000 in currency early to-
day.
After sewing $1,000 in large bills in the
lining of his coat sleeves and scatter
ing the remainder of the loot about in
obscure places throughout the depot, he
called for the police and declared he
had been held up at the point of re-
Volver and robbed of the money.
During his investigation of the al
legged holdup Detective Wombacher had
occasion to grasp Mahan by the arm.
The crinkling of the bills in the coat
sleeve under the grasp of the detective
led him to suspect Mahan. With the
assistance of fellow officers Wombacher
overpowered Mahan and the money
was recovered.
Mahan then led the officers to the
places where he had hidden the $3000
He admitted he had opened two pack
ages, one of $4,000 and the other of $1,000.
He destroyed the wrappers and could
not tell just where the money was ad-
dressed to.
A state warrant was issued charging
him with embezzlement

NOfks DISPLAY could drag q corporal s

was the real feature of the carnival.
Again the oriental colonies of the
city eXerted themselves to take fitting
part in the celebration. Japan was
represented in the parade by several
scores of Young JAPAN" waving
American flags from beneath an or
chard of cherry trees.
Seven floats and almost 1000 attend
ants, bearing banners of silk and clad
in costumes that rivaled the rainbow,
made up China's contribution. A fea-
ture of this section of the parade was
q dozen illuminated fish-shaped Ian
terms, the breathing dragon and a
comic figure representing the devil,
which an attendant teased and tickied
with feather duster.
OF the allegorical floats agriculture,
the California poppy and the purple
horn Of plenty were beautiful concep
tions of the artist, while one of huge
roses in bloom, each sheltering in it's
heart a pretty girl, was loudly cheered.
Queen Vergilia made her way
through the clamorous throngs in
majestic float representing the steps
of a throne from which, twenty feet
up in the air, the queen nodded greet
ings.
California Sunshine
California sunshine was typified by
a heroic figure which held two lighted
globes, shedding their beams upon the
products of the state as portrayed by a
group of appropriately garbed young
women.
AT seven corners of Market street
were stationed the enormous floats that

OAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 23.-Sar
n Francisco's streets were one vas'
~ ballroom tonight and Nthe flying
feet of thousands of sailors made the
hard asphalt seem like springing spruce
as they glided through waves of con-
fetti at the seven stationary floats
from which as many bands sent forth
strains whose dying echoes marked
the close of the Portola festival.
Almost a million people crowded the
sidewalks as the parade of illuminated
floats passed in review. In these floats
San Francisco outdid her reputation
for love of pageantry. One of them
weighed upwards of 10000 pounds, and
all were on a scale of magnificence
seldom attempted.
California's history from the dis
covery of San Francisco bay by Por-
tola to the discovery of gold were set
forth in graphic scenes. The building
of the Central Pacific and the driving
of the last spike by Leland Stanford,
portrayed on the float by students
from Stanford university, the gambling
hall and the pioneers and floats en-
blematic of the natural beauty and re-
sources of the state stirred the crowd
to volleys of applause.
One of the most striking OF the
scenic floats was that showing the
L
which real water fell in cataracts. The
Discovery of the North Pole" with
both Peary and Cook mailing the flag
to the great nail' had, for decora-
tions, huge cakes of ice in which were
frozen fish and great streamers of
smilax, the whole Illuminated by 1900
incandescent lights.
These were near the end of the pro-
cession and after it had counter
marched they served with five others
as band stands around which the
merry making rose to a seven-fold
climax. ....-.,
Until the parade had passed the
crowd was confined to the sidewalks by
wire cables, but the moment it es-
capped the bounds, Market street was
filled from wall to wall with a throng
of confetti-throwing, cheering and
laughing people, determined that the
carnival should be prolonged while
they had breath.
During the day many events scat
tered the crowd; some to the bay to
watch the regatta, others to the park
stadium or to the tennis courts, While
Union square was crowded with thou
sands who listened to the band con-

Especial to The Herald ]

SAN BERNARDINO, Oct. 2S.-The
search for the family reported to have
been lost on the edge of the Imperial
desert southeast of the Julian noun
tains is ended, according to state
ment of Leonard Phelps who reached
here today, and the entire party res
cued by Robert Gale, owning the Gale
Flume.
Gale, it is stated, learning of the
missing party, started in search, lind
ing them a few miles from his settle
ment. He first came on the husband
who was too exhausted to move. The
balance of the family was found few
miles farther, where thew had been left
while he went in search of water and
assistance, and were suffering only
slightly.
Phelps says they were rescued Tues

momentum gained by the heavy freight
was too great to be stopped, and when
about three car lengths from the ca
boose of the local Engineer Lockwood
jumped, landing safely.
Conductor Swaggart was alone in the
caboose making out his days report
when he heard a yell from Lockwood,
and looking up realized in the nick of
time he was in a dangerous position.
He landed on the ground just as the
engine tore into the caboose with rip
ping. crashing sound audible several
blocks away.
The caboose did not give way at
once, but was forced along, the three
empty freight cars ahead crumpling
like shells and piled up in tangled
mass.
Great confusion reigned for several
minutes, but it was soon discovered no
one was injured.
A wrecking car was put to work at
once, and two hours after the wreck
the road was clear for traffic.
Just who was to blame for the acci-
dent was not decided last night, En-
gineer Lockwood stating he believed
the local had crossed the tracks and
was in the yard.
The damage was estimated not to be
more than $500, as nothing but the
woodwork of the cars was damaged.
