 SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Aug. 22. With the captain dead in his cabin, and bearing a tale of piracy unparal- elled in the modern seafaring annals, the steamship Buckman arrived in port today.
 George Washington Wise, one of the pair of buccaneers, who has been in irons since yesterday morning, has made a confession, which, though lacking in details, shows that he and French West planned the murder of the officers and crew, preparatory to bleaching the ship on the coast near Point Blaneo. That the plan miscarried was due to the cowardice of Wise, is the belief of the officers of the Buekman.
 After holding a shotgun leveled at the quartermaster and second mate for three hours, Wise deserted his post at the first sound of resistance. Seeing the futility of trying to over come the crew alone, West jumped overheard No one saw him do this and the ship was thoroughly search ed for him.
 The two entered the wheel house at midnight, and compelled the two men on duty to hold up their hands. Then began the battle. The officers and crew had but one revolver.
 When it was over, the captain lay weltering in his own blood in his cabin, the crew barrieaded in the en-

candidates, was made wnown."
 Taft Deplores Committee's Action.
 The President also refers to the conference with Vice President Sher- man, at which he told Sherman he deplored the result of the meeting of the state committee. Upon leav- ing he urged sherman to go into con ference with Roosevelt, in an effort to adjust the situation even at this late date. Longworth, who was pres ent, said he would send a telegram to Roosevelt to bring about a con- ference. "What the result was I don't know" said he.
 Taft also denies favoring any par ticular candidate for state chairman and expresses sorrow over columns in the newspapers concerning his at- titude in the New York situation, as be has always urged the fullest con- ference with Roosevelt by members of the organization.
 Griseom, commenting in the let ter, say the situation is now clear, and believes Roosevelt will be made temporary chairman. He planes the "Old Guard" for wishing to per petuate control at any cost, and will ingly unloaded the Roosevelt defeat on the shoulders of Taft, to make it appear he had failed to endorse the policies of Hughes and Roosevelt, and considers Taft aligned with these two, so that the situation is clear to the voters.
 Roosevelt Is Pleased.
 OYSTER BAY, Aug, 22-Roosevelt expressed his pleasure over the Taft letter, but said that he mad nothing to add to what already had been said concernig the situation, al- though he indicated that the letter may change the situation.

 NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-President Taft and Col. Roosevelt are again fellow workers in the same political field. The threat that they might pull apart has again been forfeited by full explanation on the one side, and an unreserved acceptance on the other.
 The President mas made plain in a letter to Lloyd c. Griscom how the misunderstanding arose. He ex- plains that he never took any part against Roosevelt, and, on the other hand, rebukes the party leaders for letting go uncontradieted the state ment that the President was behind them in their factional differences.
 The Presidents letter comes in re- ply to Griscom's blunt assertion by telegraph "That the absence of au- tnoritative information as regards your attitude is seriously misleading to many Republican,"
 NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-Lloyd c. Griseom today made public a letter from Taft, in which the President denies there is any foundation for the belief that he favored Vice Pres ident Sherman over Colonel Roose- welt for temporary chairman, and re- fers to his talk with Griscom early in August, acquiescing in the sug- gestion that Colonel Roosevelt go as a delegate and be made temporary chairman. "It did not occur to me that anyone would oppose" said Taft.

zine room, one robber was overheard and the other lay covering in his bunk.
 After leaving the two officers in charge of Wise, West went to the captains cabin. What reply was made by the captain, will probably never be known, but it believed that he was reaching for his revolver, when West fired through the door, riddling his body with buckshot.
 Mate Plath managed to release him self from the rope with which he was bound, and pulled the cord which gave the fire signal. As the crew came up they were lined up by West, who ordered Wise to cut the wireless connections. He then saw that his companion was too frightened to obey.
 In the meantime, First Officer Brennan secured a rifle from a pas senger. Then followed shooting, and a splash was heard. When Wise fail ed to appear for breakfast, he was sought for and found in his bunk. He afterward confessed.
 Following the investigation today, Wise became a Federal prisoner, and tomorrow will be charged with either murder on the high seas or piracy on the high seas.

LAWYERS WILLS.
1HEzf


A remarkable specimen Of law
yer's invalid will was that Of Sir
Joseph Jekyll, master of the rolls,
who died in 1888 and bequeathed
his fortune after his wife's death to
pay off the national debt. "Sir Jo-
seph was a good man and good
lawyer" was Lord Mansfield's COM
ment, "but his bequest was a very
foolish one. He might as well have
attempted to stop the middle arch
of London bridge with his full bot
toned wig" The testator's patriotic
intentions we're therefore treated as
proof of mental weakness, and his
will was promptly set aside.
Among the many laundering wills
that lawyers have made for theil
clients, if not for themselves, the
strangest on record was that of 9
Dublin gentleman who left all hi
money to the elder son Of hi
brother, and if he had no elder son
to the second.

SEE BEAUTY IN DISTORTION
Members Of African Tribe Consider
AbnormsIIy Long Ears Confer
. Distinction.

From the days Of their childhood
the Nasal have habit Of distorting
their ears so that the lobe hangs
down to a great length over the
shoulder. This is considered a great
beauty by both men and women and
they succeed in acquiring It by first
making a small hole in the lobe Of
the ear and stretching IT by putting
a small stick through it and then
thicker and thicker pieces until
finally il becomes enormous and
capable Of holding such ornaments
as a mustard tin or a jam potl 1
had among my safari" (says Lieut.
Col. Patterson in "In the Grip Of
the Nyika:" Macmillan) "a man
who once tried to put in as an ear
ornament an empty OF tongue tin.
The result was that the lobe split
and hung down in two long tassels
over his shoulder. When they got
in his way too much he had actually
to take hold of the two ends and tie
them up in knot"
