Charged with Injuring Jail.

A new charge has been preferred
against A. Borello, who is under
sentence of 10 years in San Quentin
for arson in the burning of the Sum
NIT House on Sutter hill, and held in
the county jail on writ of probable
cause awaiting the outcome of an APP
peal to the appellate court lie was
taken before justice Goldner yester-
day charged with being implicated in
injuring the jail 10 the attempted
outbreak of DOMINGO Manzo. Manzo
after the failure of the scheme, gave
the whole thing away, as did also
Snaiham, who gave the pair the cue,
and really started the work before
his term of 10 days for misdemeanor
expired. Ii is said that Borello did
the filing on the iron door of the
Jail so as to loosen the rlvets. It is
intended to press the charge against
Borello in case the appeal on the
arson case should result in re-
versa.
Manzo, convicted of arson in set
ting fire to the Summit house, and
also charged with an attempted jail
break, is getting tired of being kept
in the county jail. There has been
no effort on the part of his attorney
to perfect his appeal, and the time
has expired in which he can take an
appeal except on the judgment roll
lie now wants to- be taken to San
Quentin to start serving his sentence
OF twelve years, and has requested
his attorney to dismiss the appeal
Manzo has no money, but it was
understood that his case should be
taken up on appeal the same as that
of Borello. The papers in the Borello
case have been prepared, and scarcely
anything done in the Manzo case.

Alleged Embezzlement of

MRS. STEWART HINTS
AT SOME SENSATIONS
It Is Stated That a Prominent
Chicago Man Will Be Implica-

CINCINNATI, Ohio, New. 15.-An in
dictment was returned by the grand

and financial departments Of the Big
Four we're among the witnesses heard by
the grand jury during the day.
Mrs. Stewart, who was mentioned by
Warmer as one Of those to whom he
claimed to have paid blackmail, has
strenuously denied that she ever re-
ceived any money from Warmer and
announced last week that she would APP
pear before the grand jury on her own
motion If a summons was not issued
for her.
She has limited at sensational disclos-

Prison Commission Declines 70
Recommend the Communication
of Lagrange Murderer's
Sentence.
RESPITE EXPIRES FRIDAY;
WILL HANG AT LAGRANGE
The Wife, Aged Mother, and Sis
ter of Condemned Man Attend
Prison Commissions Hearing
of the Petition.

J. NJ Elliott's doom was sealed finally
Monday morning, in so far as the prison
commission is concerned, when the board
adversely considered the application OF
Elliott's attorneys for a reopening Of the
case. As a matter of fact. the commission
actually did reopen the case, and did. "a
Chairman Hutchens states, consider all
Of the new evidence that was available in
behalf of the condemned man. Elliott
murdered George L. Rivers, Of La
Grange.
Mrs. Elliott, the wife, with a sucking
baby in her arms. Miss Flossie, the sis
ter, and the aged mother of the murderer,
listened attentively to the hearing by the
commission. and awaited in an ante-room
fits decision. They were moved to tears
when the adverse finding was made
known to them.
Elliotts two weeks respite, which was
granted by the governor on the very daT
he was to have been executed at La
Grange, win expire next Friday. and IN
less the governor himself interferes the
sentence Of the court will be enforced.
Attorneys W. D. Mcneil. of Macon. and
Elliott, made a strong showing in behalf
of their client. Each argued earnestly in
advocacy of a reopening of the case, and
insisted that a miscarriage of justice
would be committed If their client were
allowed to be hanged next Friday.
A number of afidavits and letters were
introduced to substantiate the claim that
Elliott was insane at the time of the
commission of the crime, and DR.. D. G.
Gibson the county physician CT Bibb
county, gave oral testimony that Elliott
was insane just previous to his removal
from Macon to Lagrange.
DIR. Gibson stated that Elliott, con-
frmed cocaine fend, demanded Is grains
of the drug each day. He gave II as his
professional opinion that the continued
use of the drug to this extent would Sc
range any sane man, and would certainly
make any person predisposed to insanity

Among other written evidence offered
by the attorneys were letters from Judge

had knowledge Of Elliott previous to the

Mail Steamer La Seyne and the
Onds Came Into Collision As
the Result of a Thick Fog
Near Singapore.
SIXTY-ONE ARE RESCUED
FROM JAWS OF SHARKS
Work of Rescue Was Thrilling
and Dangerous in the Extreme.
Many Are Injured by
Being Bitten.

SINGAPORE, Nov 15.-The mail steam
er La Seyne. of the Messageries Maritime
service, running between Java and singa-
PORE and on her way TO this port, was

line, and sank Within two minutes.
Seven European passengers, including
Baron and Baroness Beniczky, the cap
tain of La Seyne, five European officers
and So others, comprising native passen-
gers and members of the crew were
drowned. The rescue of 81 persons, prac-
tically from the jaws Of shoals OF
sharks, formed a thrilling incident OF the
wreck.
FOG CAUSES ACCIDENT.
The accident occurred about 4 o'clock
in the morning in a thick haze. The YES
sels were steaming at good speed and the
Seyne was cut almost in half. There was
no time for panic nor for any attempt on
the part Of the officers of the founder
ing steamer to get out the boats. The
majority of those on board were caught
IN their berths and carried down with the
vessel
The force of the collision brought the
Onda to almost a dead stop and her en-
gines we're at once slowed and boats low
cred. The rescue werk proved thrilling.
for not only was the rescuing parties
impeded by the dark, but shoals of sharks
were already attacking those clinging to
pieces of wreckage in the water. Sixty
one persons from the Inflated steamer
were finally dragged into the boats and
brought by the Onda to this port. Many
of tlrem had been bitten by sharks and

Receipts Were About $4,000,
and Speedway Stock,~He Says,
Is Worth Just About
Two for One.
ANOTHER MEET TO
BE HELD NEXT SPRING
Next Time Only Two or Three
Days Racing Will Be Run
Fridays Attendance Was
Largest of the Meet.

The automobile race meeting at the At
lanta speedway was a financial success,
and the stock of the Atlanta Automobile
association, according to President Asa
G. Gambler, Jr., is today worth two for
one as a result. No dividend will be de-
clared at present, however, and the mon
ey derived from the recent meet will be
used to cancel outstanding obligations
The receipts were approximately $4,000.
The association plans to have another
meeting at the track. next spring, prob
ably in March or April, but under no
circumstances will more than three days
racing be offered; more likely, only a
two-days' card will be prepared.
Asa G. Gambler, Jr., president Of the
association and largest individual stock
holder. Monday morning gave out some
interesting data and figures bearing or
the recent meeting and the future plans
of the association relative to the track.
To begin at the beginning, the two
mile course and adjacent perquisites rep
resent an investment of $26O,0O0 The as
sociation is capitalized at s250,000, but
only $4,000 of this amount was actually
subscribed and paid in.
1.-THE gate receipts were something over
S100, 000," said Mr.. Gambler. ''It is impos-
sible to give the exact figures now. The
concessions will net the association
sum of money, but how much I cannot
definitely state at this time.
1.-The money made by the meeting will
be used to pay off obligations. The as
sociation borrowed the difference between
the amount of its paid in capital and the
cost of the plant to get everything in
readiness for the meeting. Enough was
taken in 20 pay off this obligation and
leave the association with the plant en-
tfrely paid for, unencumbered.
THUS we have a plant worth not less
than it's cost-$26O, OOO-and we have a
capital stock of only $4,000. 1t makes
our stock worth two for one"
President Gambler stated that $4,000
would cover all the expenses of the meet
ing, including preliminary advertising.
etc The actual cost OF the meeting, in
prizes, cups, guarantees, etc, was, he
says, not over 5000, and the entrance
fee assessed against the starters met
this expense.
The total attendance was approximate
" 100000 people, probably a few more.
The biggest day was Friday. when 5000
people saw the sport; the smallest day
was Saturday.
1.-THE association purposes to hold an
other meeting next spring, in March or
April" said Mr.. CaQdler. 1.-THE meeting
will not continue over three days, and
more likely it will be for two days only.
1.-THE track will be used exclusively for
automobile racing, though it is possible
the association may, In the future, buid
a horse-racing course inside the paddock.
