BlRNDLE BULL CANINE CAN
NOT STAND lNDIGNlTY
Elected from Hotel and Made to
Sleep in Coal Cellar Produces
Nervous Prostratlon and Hos
pital Treatment Necessary

SAN JOSE. Dec. 27.-Prostrated by
the indgnity to which he was subject
ed when he was elected from his room
In the st. James hotel when he was
accustomed to being treated with great
consideration in the swell hotels of San
Francisco, Lucky, the blue-blooded
brindle bulldog of Mr.. and Mrs. Will
liam p. Wetmore of San Francisco,
was taken in a state of collapse to
local veterinarian yesterday. His all
ment Is diagnosed by the physicians in
attendance as nervous proStration.
Lucky will be confined to the hospital
for a week at least.
His condition at a late hour last
night was reported to be as good as
could be expected. The animal for
merly belonged to Miss Jennie Crocker
of San Francisco, but had been raised
by Mr. and Mrs. Wetmore. 1t was ac-
customed to occupying a couch in the
best known San Francisco hotels where
its mistress resided at different times
Yesterday Mr. and Mrs. Wetmore
came to this city and engaged apart
ments at the st. James. A sleeping
place was provided for Lucky on a
couch in one of the rooms occupied by
his owners. BY chance Lucky was put
out Of the hotel by several bellboys
who provided a place for him to sleep
in the coal cellar. The awful disgrace
and plebeian surroundings completely
unstrung the nerves of the high-bred
canine. and his condition is bordering
on the verge of insanity.

OWL TRAIN LEAVES
RAILS; CARS UPSET
FIFTY PASSENGERS THROWN
OUT OF BERTHS
Slowing of Trucks on Two Pullman
Coaches Causes Wheels to Leave
Track - Los Angelans
Injured

OAKLAND, Dec. 27.-Fifty sleeping
passengers on tho owl train from Los
Angeles for Oakland were uncere-
moniously dumped out of their berths
at 515 this morning when the two rear
sleepers of the train were derailed and
partially overturned at point one
mile west of Hally, which is fourteen
miles south of Tracy.
The accident was caused by the
Slowing of the trucks on the two Pull
mans. Although the train was run
ming at a high rate of speed, no one
twas seriously injured
Those who sustained minor hurts
were;
b. H. Dyer of Los Angeles, left eye
cut by glass.
D. c. Lane of Los Angeles, left hip
bruised,
II. S. Hackstaff of San Francisco,
right shoulder wrenched.
f. G. Kahn, Los Angeles, bruises of

Mrs. X. Fizell of Davis, right arm
bruised; suffering from severe shock.
O. f. Coleman of Los Angeles, right
arm and left leg lacerated.
e. j. Fallon of San Francisco, knee,
arm and shoulder bruised.
Most of the injured refused medical
attention when physicians arrived on
the wreclling train from Tracy.
The Owl was delayed about two
hours and a half by the accident, and
proceeded on its way to this city as
soon as the wrecking outfit removed
the overturned coaches from the tracks,
arriving here at 1883 a. m, three
hours later than schedule time.
Conductor f. F. Bradley and Ensi-
neer George p. Jeffries were in charge
of the train.

TRIAL OF MRS. JEANETTE
STEWART-FORD CONTINUED
Woman Accused of BIackmal in Con-
nection with Warriner Case
Falls and Is Hurt

CINCINNATI. Dec. 27.-Mrs. Jea-
nette Stewart Ford, charged with
blaclImail in connection with the en-
bezzlement of $643, 900 from the Gin
cinnati offices of the Big Four rail-
road, will not be brought to trial until
January 10.
Mrs. Fords attorneys today asked
for a continuance on the ground their
client had sustained a severe fall on
a frozen pavement and was unable to
be present
Mrs. Fords attorney filed a de-
murrer to the indictment, claiming the
alleged blackmail levied on Charles 7.
Warriner, former local treasurer of the
Big Four is, if committed, a misde-
meanor and not a felony. The de-
murrer was oVerruled.
The postponement means that War
riner will be still held in the local Jail,
as he is to be the principal witness.
When the Ford trial Is concluded he
will begin his siX-year term in the
state prison

the death of two men.
Arthur Green, a cattleman who in

CHILDREN SING HYMNS
WHILE CHURCH IS AFIRE
Fear of Panic Leads Member of Or
ganization to Caution Secrecy on
Part of Fire Fighters

KANSAS CITY, Dec. 2I-While fire
men fought a stubborn blaze in the
basement of the Peoples Methodist
church in Kansas City, Kan, yesterday
fifty children, ignorant of the fact that
the building was on fire, sang Christ
mas hymns and took part in special
holiday service.
The church is heated by a furnace,
which often fills the room with smoke
when a fire is being kindled, and for
this reason there was no alarm felt
Yesterday when the congregation de-
tected the odor of burning wood.
An investigation. however, showed
the basement was on fire, but fearing
panic if the fact became known, a
member of the church met the fire de-
partment half block away and had
them enter the building quietly. The
blaze was extinguished with chemicals.

SAYS U. S. WILL NOT HARM
CENTRAL AMERICAN STATES
President of international Sanitary
Conference Declares Taft Wants
to Protect Republics

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-"The United
States has no aim of conquest In Cen
tral America, and the countries there
have nothing to fear from the activities
of the great republic" says DR.. Juan
j. Uloa, president of the international
sanitary conference. now in session in
Costa Rica. He expresses this opinion
in a statement which he has recently
given out with the object, he says, of
correcting mass of misinformation
which is being circulated in Spanish
American countries.
THE alarming rumors which are be-
ing circulated among YOU" he writes
to his people. ARE grossly exaggerated
ana inaccurate. The true feeling and
thought of the United States is friend
ly. President Taft means to do moth
ing more in Nicaragua than to guaran-
tee the protection that his government
owes to American life and property.
With Zelaya's retirement the turmoil
will pass quickly"

MUST REVISE METHOD OF
BUYING RAILWAY SUPPLIES
Prominent Official Declares Day of
Agent Who Offers Improper in-
ducements Has Passed

ST. LOUIS. Dec. PA prominent
railroad executive officer in touch with
large financial interests controlling
the securities OF the leading south
western railroads here last night spoke
the keynote of a movement for re-
forming the purchasing departments
of all large eastern, western and
southern railroads. He said:
Business secured by questionable
methods has ruined many brilliant
men and the whole system of placing
orders for materials and supplies must
be changed. Investors fiscal agents
demand that contracts hereafter be
awarded on quality, not on friendship.
THE railway supply agent with his
seductive wiles, including wine sup
pers, automobile rides and carousals
ut country clubs, appealing to the
weaker side of the executive officer,
Turing him to forget home, family,
honor and decency. no longer will be
welcomed at railroad general Offices"

.SCHOOLBOY VICTIM
OF FlENDISH CRIME
LAD FOUND MURDERED IN
EMPTY HOUSE
Was Slain and Then Taken in
Cab to Lonely
Building

PITTSBURG, Dec. 27,--After ques-
tioning half score Of persons and ap-
plying the third degree to half as
many more the detective force of
Greater Pittsburg is still at sea as to
the identity of the man or men impli-
Gated in the murder of 14-year old
James Friel, whose frozen and partly
nude body was found late last night
in a deserted house in Allegheny,
where probaly it had been placed on
Christmas day after the throat had
been slashed fro \ ear to ear.
A coroner's inquest will be held to-
morrow, when sensational develop
ments are not improbable.
Police officers tonight are working
on the theory that young Friel was
not killed in the house where his mutt
lated body was found, but was proba-
bly, murdered in Pittsburg and taken
in a cab from the central portion of the
city, transported across the Allegheny
river in a skiff and placed in the de-
serted house.
