BATTLE FOR LIFE
WITH FIRE AND ICE
Three Men Barely Escape in
Boat From Burning Fish
ing Tug

Lorraine, Ohio, Dec. 19.-The fishing
tug Penelope of Cleveland burned this
afternoon four miles off shore. The
crew of three escaped after a battle
with ice foes which almost cost them
their lives.
The boat, which belonged to A. w.
Langwell of Cleveland, was bound for
its winter quarters at St. Clair, Mich.
This afternoon Captain Charles Inches
discovered fire in the woodwork above
the engine room and in only few mo-
nnents his position and that of the en-
gineer and firemen became precarious.
While they were endeavoring to cast
loose the larger of two yawls, the yawl
caught fire. The men were forced TO
take refuge in the other smaller one.
The sides of the tug were in flames be-
fore they launched their little craft.
There had been no time to don extra
clothing and the day was one. of the
coldest of the winter. The mems oars
and boards were crusted with ice before
they had gone mile. Two miles off
shore they encountered shore ice too
thin to bear their weight, but thick
enough to impede the progress of the
boat Through this they were COM
PEELED to break their way

BRADBURY'S NEMESIS
ON BRINK OF GRAVE
Death May End Famous Duel of
Wit and Money
Especial Dispatch TO The Call


CoRTE MADEIRA, Dec. 1s.-The life
of James McCue. who sent millionaire
William B. Bradbury to San Quentin,
still hangs in the balance as the re-
suit of the accident last Friday, when
the buggy in which he was riding
crashed into another occupied by Enos
Foster and his daughter. Marie
The injury which McCue received
when he was hurled upon lumber
pile has effected his brain and his
physician fears that he may not re-
cover. Mrs. McCue stated today that
DR.. j. E. McCue and two attendants
have been constantly at his side since
the accident, and that his rawlings are
dreadful. McCue is an older man than
Bradbury, who is 10. For the last
five years McCue devoted most of his
time in the attempt to send Bradbury
to San Quentin for perjury, and when
he finally succeeded he declared that
his ambition in life had been realized.
Shortly before the accident which
may result in his death, he wrote a
letter to Governor Gillett cautioning
him against pardoning Bradbury until
the millionaire had paid all his bills.
The next day Bradbury was removed
to the prison hospital, and few davs
later McCue, in the height of his vic
tory over his aged enemy, was stricken
down.
Both old men, whose eccentric
careers have attracted so much noto-
riety inethe past, are now on the verge
of death, and the famous duel of wit
and money seems to be approaching
the end.

TO WAR ON PLAGUE
INFECTEDSQUIRRELS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19-The pos
sible spread of bubonic plague
through squirrels to such an extent as
to become a real menace to sections
where no cases have so far appeared
has been called TO the attention of the
house committee on agriculture BY
Secretary Wilson.
The public health service has asked
the biological bureau of the depart
ment of agriculture to devise some
means for destroying the squirrels.
through which. according to Chief Mer-
riam of that bureau. the infection has
spread. in isolated cases, over 500
square miles in California.
The bureau has been asked to make
a survey of the region infested. with
the ground squirrels to find the extent

SPECIAL COINS AND
STAMPS FOR FAIR
Federal and Foreign Govern-
ments Will Be Asked to OBJ
serve Opening of Canal

AS soon as the committees in charge
of the Panama Pacific international ex-
position have perfected permanent
organization a request will be made to
the federal government to consider the
advisabliity of special postage stamp
and coinage ISSUES for the year of the
opening of the Panama canal
1t is the intention of the local com
mittee to present this proposal to the
government authorities at an early
date in order that if it is given official
sanction, foreign governments which
will be interested in completion of
the great canal may be invited also to
adopt similar plans and assist by this
means in providing an international
collection of worlds fair mementos
that would be of lasting interest.
TRIPLE COMMEMORATION
The suggestion has been made that
the special stamp and coinage issues
should include designs commemorative
of threefold event-the completion of
the canal. the exposition itself and the
rebuilding of San Francisco. The field
for design offers a wider range of sub
exposition, and the Importance of the
canal opening as a world event is
i thought sufficient to arouse the inter-
est of other nations in the project.
Final plans will be made today for
the sale of official exposition buttons
Thursday, which is to be known as
boosters button day The $4,000 but
tons which are to be issued will be sold
for 10 cents each and the proceeds of
the sale will be used to defray pre-
organization expenses.
1t is the plan of the committee of
six to appoint street vendors and have
the buttons on sale in cigar stands and
cafes throughout the city and in all
the big stores and office buildings of
the downtown section. An effort will
be made to dispose of the entire issue
of $4,000 emblems in one day, and
every loyal San Franciscan will be
expected to have the badge on his
coatrlapel before Thursday night
HAVE DISTINCTIVE DESIGN
The buttons to be sold Thursday
have a distinctive design to distin-
guish them from unofficial buttons
which may be produced by individuals
for private gain, and the entire pro-
ceeds from their sale will be devoted
to the actual work of tie exposition
committee. For the time being this
button will be the official badge of the
exposition, though it will be suppIanted
later by an emblem of more elaborate
design, bearing the seal of the ex-
position.
The buttons to be sold Thursday are
for boosters only, but every one is ex-
peeted to be a booster. Watch for the
buttons with the red border and the
! legend in blue on a white background
And buy one Thursday for the good of
the cause.

Making Tire SAID yesterday:
-. greatest difficult
ties with which q
tire manufacturer has to contend ais
the number of unscrupulous people
they are obliged to handle. There are
instances where a tire will run more
than full mileage, and the chauffeur
will be instructed by the owner TO
make a claim on the tire as it was de-
fective. The chauffeur naturally Will
make a big howl and If successful in
securing a replacement will then go
out and boast of what he has done.
These methods sometimes come back
to the tire manufacturers. and it Is
just people of this kind who are in
juring the trade in general The ulti
mate result will be that the tire manu-
facturers will unite and withdraw all
guarantee and the public will have no
one to blame but themselves
II is just as dishonest to ask for a
replacement on a tire that has gone
full mileage as it would be for mer-
chant to claim a shortage on stock
which did not exist. 1t is UP to the
owner of the automobile to keep an
accurate account of the mileage on
each tire and not try to misrepresent
matters to the tire manufacturer. In
the long run it would be TO the motor
lists advantage to keep a careful rec
ord of the mileage.

District Court in Session

Judge P. B. Gillett convened the Feb
ruary term Of the district court Monday
afternoon. The term promises to be
short, many Of the principal cases not be-
ing ready for tri,l.
The cases Of State VS. Ed Newkirk
and Walter Wallace, charged with
grand larceny. were continued until Nav.
these are the cases in which several
Medicine Lodge merchants are interested.
Newkirk and Wallace are jointly charg-
ed with having stolen numerous articles
of merchandise from their stores in De-
cember. Wallace has confessed but
says Newkirk had no part in it. Mr..
Newkirk also denies the charge. The
facts have been very thoroughly discussed
IN these columns before. The continu-
ance is based on the absence Of Samuel
Griffin who is said to have been en-
ployed by the merchants to prosecute the
case. County Attorney Field having been
employed by the defendants before he
became county attorney. The continu-
ance seems burdensome on the defend
ant Newkirk who is anxious to go to
trial.
The same order was made in the case
Of State vs. Chas. Wilson Of Sun City
for the same reasons. Wilson is charged
with having burglarized the Sun City
depot and stealing liquor. He wa. re-
leased at bis FIRST preliminary but was re-
arrested and held by another justice.
Sympathy around Sun seem. to be large
ly with Wilson.
The case Of State vs. Herbert Rose
went to hal yesterday. Rose is charged
with beating S. B. Mowery with a pitch
fork. The parties live at Elm Mills.
Mowery was a hired man on the de-
PENDANTS fathers farm and the two had a
disagreement while hauling or stacking
hay.
Snodderly VS. Snodderly. divorce case,
dismissed. The parties settled their
troubles out of court.
In the case Of State VS. ]. E. and Chas.
Goodan. the charge was reduced from
assault with intent to kill to assault and
battery and the defendants were allowed
to plead guilty. They were fined S.
and costs. This is the elimination of
the Goodan-Cavanaugh trouble at Haz-
elton. wherein the latter gentleman was
handled without gloves although not
seriously hurt.
