PROFESSIONAL BEGGAR
KILLED BY COMPANION
San Francisco Coroner's Jury Declines
10 Fix Responsibility for Mans
Death.

San Francisco, Nov. 5.--The cOron-
er's jury in the case of Leo Majors,
alias John Frederick, the professional
beggar, who was stabbed to death in
this city on the night of October s,
decided today that the man was muir
dered. but declined to fix the respon-
sibility for his death upon James
Boyle and James Lane, fellow beg
gars, now being held by the police on
suspicion.
According to the testimony of De-
tective Sergeant Regan, Majors was
a stool pigeon for the Denver police
and was murdered by another of the
same ilk. Reagan declared that Ma
Jors and his murderer had conspired
with two other men in Denver to com
NIT a series of bank and train rob-
berries along the Kansas borders. But
that one or the other informed the
police is also claimed. These two
escaped but their companions were
arrested
II is Regan's theory that the two
met in San Francisco and each ac-
cused the other Of having told the
Denver police and the quarrel result
ed in the death of Majors.
Policeman Tyrrell testified that a
Few minutes before the murdered
man was found a passing motorman

HUNDREDS
FAKE MINE PROMOTER
CONVICTED IN DENVER
Not Even Silver Lining to
Clouds of Gold Adventures
Told Dupes Were Floating
About Their Innocent Heads,
IBy Morning Journal Special Leased wirei

Denver. Colo. Nov. 5.--Mrs. Anna
Wheeler, mining woman and pro-
moter," said to have swindled hum
dreds in fake Nevada mining
schemes, was convicted of fraud on
three counts in the West Side court
today. According to her victims, she
convinced them that she possessed
clairvoyant powers and that while
under guidance OF spirits she had
seen clouds of gold floating about
their heads and drifting about their
feet. She convinced them that all
that was needed to precipitate the
golden shower of sheckles was an in
vestment in Nevada mining property
owned by her. Her operations be-
gan in the height of the Goldfield
excitement and she found no lack of
dupes. her victims being women of
the poorer class, who invested the
savings of years on the promise of
enormous dividends.
The clouds surrounding the victims
proved to have not even "a silver lin
ing and the wearers OF the golden
aureoles sought redress in the courts,
claiming that Mrs Wheeler had APP
propriated their money 10 her own
use
Mrs. Wheeler denies that she
claimed clairvoyant power and main
tains that the money was invested by
her, but that the investments turned
out badly. She claims that she lived
at Lead, $. D., from 1881 to 1905,
and that she located the Wall Street
mine in the Black Hills in 1856.
After several trips to Nevada In
1907 she states that she returned to
Denver to secure funds with which
to operate properties which she had
secured with the Monnett brothers,
who were among the most prominent
of the leasers and or gators of Gold
field
One of the first investors in whom
the golden cloud story operated was
Mrs August McCotter, a washer
woman who laundered the lingerie of
Mrs. Wheeler's daughter, then at
tending fashionable and expensive
private school in Denver. Mrs. Nc
Cotter was induced to invest her en-
tire savings in the mythical mines.

New York, Nov 5.-Another of

This will l-o'-the- -wisp had it that Mr..

public mind by Mr.. Roosevelt's maga-
zine articles, there was some uneasi-
ness until Douglas Robinson, Mr.
Roosevelts brother-in-law declared
emphatically he took no stock in such
reportss.
Mr.. Robinson branded the first
vague reports of the day as false and
when informed tonight that later ru-
mors from the shadowland of news
paperdom had ii that he (Mr. Robin
SOM had been advised by cable of Mr.,
Roosevelt's death, he authorized an
other vigorous denial. If anything
had happened to his brotherin-law,
Mr.. Robinson was sure he would hear
of it Immediately and accordingly he
placed no credit in the reports of to-
day.
Magazine editors and other associ-
ates of Mr.. Roosevelt in New York
took this same view.
1t was pointed out also that the CO.
lonial office in London would be
promptly advised of any mishap to
Mr.. Roosevelt, and as nothing had
been heard there this was taken as
an additional indication that the ru-
NOR was merely "a news sprite from

Portsmouth, N. H., Nov. 5.-As the
new battleship North Dakota was
completing her four-hour endurance
run at a 21-knot gait off the New
England coast today, with the battle
ship speed championship or America
almost in her grasp, boiler room ac-
cident robbed her of the laurels and
sent her scurrying into this port to
land four injured men.
Tonight it was reported from the
navy yard that all the injured would
Droba bly, recover but it was feared
Souden might lose his eyesight. In
addition to the four men brought
ashore twelve others suffered from
scalding, but their injuries are of a
minor character
The ship. nevertheless, exceeded her
contract requirement of q knots an
hour, making ALL in the first two
hours, 164 in the third and 21.00
knots flat as she hurried in on the
fourth hour to this port. The injured
men are william H. Grange. water
tcllucI JoilIl IooudCiis toil PetSo'i ~
Peterson, fireman, and Peter McCon-
nell. fireman. Souden was badly
scalded.
The North Dakota logged out of the
Penobscot shortly after sunrise today,
increasing her steam as she proceed
ed until at l o'clock she was well
south of Moegan.
Shortly after that she began her
trial. on the first two hours the en-
gines developed $4,000 horse power
and the water rate was we'll above the
contract. A few minutes after the
battleship had passed Cape Ann and
while she was entering the fourth
hour OF her test, seven-inch tube in
one of tae lower rows of boilers blew
out and filled the room with steam.
The engineers Immediately cut off
four of the fourteen boilers.
As soon as the extent of the injur-
les of the fremen had been ascer-
tanned the North Dakota was swung
around and headed back up the coast
for this port, where it was known a
good harbor could be reached shortly
after the expiration of the time limit.
All four of the injured men bravely
urged the engineer to disregard their
injuries and keep the battleship on
her work. Under the ten boilers 81
knots was maintained for the balance
of the time and at 4 o'clock the North
Dakota steamed into this harbor and
sent the injured men ashore.
The defective tube was replaced
and arrangements were made to leave
at midnight for the 24-hour run at a
speed of 10 knots an hour.
The battleship is expected at Bos
ton lightship at midnight tomorrow,
and during her run it will be decided
whether there will be continuation
OF the trials and whether the four
hour test will be reported.
Although the North Dakota fulfilled
her contract today her builders, the
Fore River Shipbuilding company. of
Quincy, Mas. are anxious to see what
she can do on Q four-hour test with |
her usual steam equipment.
