WANT ROECH TO
COACH SAINTS
Catholic Team VIII Meet Stanford
This Afternoon and Expects to
Give Good Account OF
Itself
Especial to The Herald.l

CHICAGO, Ill, March 4.-Negotia'
lions have been pending some time De-
tween the faculty of st. Vincents col
lege of Los Angeles and Clarence
Roech, former coach Of the Los An
geles high school football eleven with
view to securing Roech to coach the
st. Vincents team next year. Roech
for several weeks has been here
travelling for Los Angeles shirt firm
and to an Inter Ocean representative
last night stated he would accept the
place.
Manager George Stoney Of the St
Vincent baseball team and captain OF
the football squad of 1909, when called
up late last night at his home, in
formed the Herald sporting department
that he knew nothing of the appoint
ment of Roech as coach for next
season.
The St. Vincents baseball squad will
meet Stanford this afternoon on the
Grand avenue diamond In the first
series of two games. The first con-
test will start on the St. Vincent dia-
mond at 3:15 o'clock. Buckles, the
former high school giant, will go on
the mound for the Catholic club. while
Thiele will bend 'em over for the
northern aggregation. Leo O'Connor,
one of the best backstops In Southern
California, and who has improved
greatly during the past eighteen
months, under the able coaching OF
Bernie McCay of the Oakland club,
will catch.
The absence of the Kennedy brothers
in center and right, respectively, on
account of the death of their mother In
San Francisco, will be felt keenly. The
showing made by the Saints in yester-
days game against the Vernon team at
the South Side Athletic club diamond
showed they, no doubt, will take the
scalps of their northern opponents this
afternoon.
Arrangement of Players
Manager George Stoney has placed
William Carrigan. brother of Tom
Carrigan, the former football player,
in center garden, while Hickson, cap
tain OF last years st. Vincent's high

geles high school and captain of next
years Rugby football fifteen, will
either catch or play the keystone sack.

tary academy, will be seen in right
field. Canterbury will go behind the
mask. A large attendance. no doubt,
will be on hand to witness the opening
game, as Manager Stoney stated last
night tickets were selling fast.
"A rooters organization has been
formed to be at the game to cheer the
candidates on to victory.
Following is the st. Vincent's lineup:

Trenton, N. j., Nov. 16.-Bennett
Van Syckel, as special master, fled a
report in the court Of chancery here
recommending that there be granted
to Mrs. Elizabeth G. Raymond, daugh-
ter Of Chief Justice Gummere of the
supreme court, a divorce from her
husband, Thomas L. Raymond, first
assistant prosecutor Of Essex county.
Mrs. Raymond testified that her hus-
band had treated her cruelty and in
some instances brutally. She said that
on one occasion he threw her down
stairs. At another time, she testified,
he seized her wrists and arms, infict-
ing injuries which discolored the lat
ter for several days.
Although they occupied the same
house from the time Of their mar
riage in 1908 until last May, when she
returned to her fathers home, Mrs.
Raymond said that her husband had
never treated her as he should.

Grand Jury Urges Further lnvsstiga-

Tacoma, Wash, Nov. 16-The fed
eral grand jury at Valdez ordered by
the attorney general to investigate
charges of malfeasance in office made
against ex-Judge Silas N. Reid has re-
ported to the court as follows:
"There is good ground to believe
that the grossest corruption, conspir-
acy, misfeasance and malfeasance in
office have been practiced in the ad-
ministration of the district court at
Fairbanks, Alaska, prior to the re-
moval of Judge Silas H. Reid and that
evidence of the same can be obtained
at Fairbanks, Alaska.
1--WE recommend that special grand
jury be impaneled to diligently inquire
into all matters pertaining to the cor
ruption, conspiracy, misfeasance and
malfeasance charged against Judge
Reid and his associates during their
incumbency of Office"
Judge Reid was appointed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt from Oklahoma.

Court Upholds Indictment Against

Oklahoma Governor.
Chickasha, Okla, Nov. 16-Federale
Judge Marshall overruled demurrers
to the indictments against Governor
Haskell and others for alleged fraud in
the Muskogee town lot cases and gave
Haskell and his codefendants until
next Saturday in which to enter plea
Of guilty or not guilty.
An objection upon which the court
placed the most serious consideration
was that the overt acts were not In
their nature such as tend to effect tho
objects Of conspiracy. Such acts an
filing for record deeds from the sched-
ule Of lots to the conspirators ana
the signing of deeds to q subsequent
grantee are held insufficient, but
the court holds that the object of the
conspiracy was to obtain title to tho
lots, and when this was accomplished
the conspiracy was executed.
Until this was done," said the court,
any act by one Of the conspirators
tending to its accomplishment was the
overt act required by the statute to be
punishable.
II am Of the opinion that the fraudu-
lent character Of the conspiracy did
not depend on the condition Of the lota
as to being improved or unimproved."

Washington, Nov. 16-The supreme

citizens Of that town, who were men,
bers Of the mob which lynched Ed

The scene in the court when sen.
tence was passed was almost without

Only once before has the court infiict-
ed punishment for contempt. That
was In 1869, when John Chiles of Tex

AST0R YACHT MISSING.
Fears For the Nourmahal With Colonel
Astor and His Son Aboard.

Rstor ana his Son Aboard.
New York, Nov. 16. - The steam
yacht Nourmahal, owned by John Ja-
cob Astor and flying the flag of the
New York Yacht club, which sailed
from Port Antonio on Monday, Nov. s,
for San Juan, Porto Rico, has not
since been reported.
Colonel Astor, who has been cruising
In the West Indies for some time to
escape the notoriety consequent upon
his wife's suit for divorce, had with
him on the yacht his son Vincent.
The yacht was undoubtedly in the
West Indian storm, and the lack Of
reports Of her whereabouts has caused
great anxiety to Colonel Astor's
friends.
The Nourmahal was built In 1884 by
Harlan & Hollingsworth at Whining
ton and Is of 769 gross and 522 net
tonnage. Her dimensions are PAT feet
over all, 227 feet on the water line, 80
feet beam, 20 feet depth of hold and
IA feet 8 inches draft. Her engines
are Of the compound inverted type,
having two cylinders.
She was originally barkentine rig
ged, but a few years ago Colonel AS
tor had the rig changed, and she now
has three pole masts.
This yacht was built for Colonel As
tors father, William Astor, and when
the colonel was married she was over
hauled and redecorated, and Colonel
Astor and his bride spent their honey
moon on a cruise in southern waters.

NEW FIRE STOPS REsCUERs.
No Hope of Reaching the 384 Men En-
tombed In Mine.

tombed In Mine.
Cherry, ILL.,, Nov. 16-Fire, famed to
fury by the mistaken efforts of res
cuers, consumed what little oxygen re-
mained in the st. Paul mine and car
ried certain death to such of the 1884
entombed men as may have been alive.
Rescuers were forced from the
shafts by the flames, and the mine is
sealed at every opening. Seventy-two
hours have passed since the mine was
first closed, and it will probably be
days before searchers can go below.
Lack of water rendered futile the ef-
forts of the fire fighters who had ven
tured into the mine. No pumps were
on hand, and in desperation the ex-
perts ordered every opening closed.
Panic ruled the miners families
when they learned of the new disas-
ter. Weakened and worn by three
days Of heart breaking suspense, wom-
en- screamed threats and condemnation
at the workers and called them cow
ards. Some women threw themselves
on the ground in wild hysteria.
