SAN DIEGO, July 21.-James E.
Wadham of this city, who acted as at
torney for D. w. Mckay at Tia Juana,
made this statement to the Associated
Press today:
"The facts, as I understand them,
which are founded on statements
made to me by D. w. Mckay, Mrs.
cutting witness, are as follows:
Mr.. Mckay went to Tia Juana Hot
Springs for the benefit of his wife's
health, who is troubled with rheu-
matism. The springs are located about
three miles below the boundary line
from Tia Juana, and for the last year
she has passed much of her time at the
springs and Mr.. Mckay has Travelled
back and forth to his business. Mr..
Mckay has purchased or entered into
agreement for purchase, with several
of the heirs, of their interests in the
Tia Juana springs.
CUTTING OF FENCE
"Mr. Mckay and Mrs. Mckay claim
that Mr.. Mckay asked permission to
cut a wire fence on this property and
put in a gate. Mr.. Arguello denies
that Mr.. Mckay asked the permission.
But the facts are that Mr.. Mckay did
cut a wire fence and put in a wire
gate; that Mr.. Arguello went to Tia
Juana and swore out a warrant, on
whieh Mr. Mckay was arrested. He
was thrown into Jail at Tia Juana the
morning of Saturday, July 16, but Mrs.
Mckay did not know Of his incarcera-
ton until about 1890, at which time
she telephoned to me. 1 Immediately
went to Tia Juana and found that Mr..
Mckay was being examined by the
authorities. I made an appeal that
Mr.. Mckay be released on bonds which
had been offered in any reasonable
amount by the Merchants National
bank Of San Diego; the authorities re-
fused to consider the matter, stating
he could not be released on bonds until
the testimony on the hearing was sent
to Ensenada. In consequence of which
Mr.. Mckay stayed in Tia Juana in
jail until the afternoon of the 18th.
GOES UNDER GUARD
st am informed that Sunday, July
II, he was moved into pretty good
quarters and was allowed to go in and
out of the door when he saw fit, but
that Sunday night he was returned to
his dungeon and locked up, the guard
stating that he did not propose to take
anv chances. We offered to take Mr..
Mckay to Ensenada in an automo-
bile and take the guards with us, but
this was refused although Mr.. Mckay
was permitted to go in his own wagon
in charge of two officers, who, 1 be-
lieve, rode on horseback. 1 am told
that Mr.. Mckay was handcuffed, but
do not know as to this positively.
However, I have received advices from
Ensenada to the effect that Mr.. Nc
Kay has been released on bail"

HANDS OF BANKS
Powerful Group of International
Financiers Spend $2O,OO0,-
900 for Control
Especial to The Herald

LONDON, July 21.-Samuel Inter
myer on behalf of a powerful group of
international bankers, has closed deal
for the purchase of a large interest in
securities of oil producing properties
in Oklahoma. The transaction involves
an exchange of $5,OO0,O00 in cash and
SIS, 100000 in securities.
Mr.. Unternyer when he was seen at
the Ritz hotel prior to leaving for
Brussels on his way to Carlsbad ad-
mitted the correctness of this informa-
tion, but refused fuller particulars be-
yond saying that the concern was in
dependent and the plans involved lay
ing a big pipe line. He would admit
no intention of fighting the Standard
Oil, saying that there was plenty of
room for both.
Mr. Untermyer also said the deal was
and New York interests. 1--WE have
settled our plans" he declared, "and
shall go straight ahead with them. 1t
is a gigantic scheme, involving tremen-
dous interests"
1t is understood that the same group
of men who made large fortunes in
California fields are back of the present
enterprise. Sir Wettman recently made
a. trip to the United States and de-
clared he was shadowed all the time
by detectives in the employ of the
Standard Oil company. He expects to
return to the United States within the
next month

SUBMARINES GIVEN TESTS
IN HARBOR AT SAN DIEGO
Pike and GrampuS Fire Torpe-
does While Submerged

SAN DIEGO, July 21.-The sub
marines Grampus and Pike fired their
first torpedoes today and were given
their first diving tests since they came
into these waters.
The test was made in the bay be-
tween San Diego and Coronado.
The Pike, in command of Lieutenant
K. B. Crittenden, was the first to be
tried. After a few minutes maneuver-
ing, the Pike was trimmed and ready
for the dive. Then, slowly the sub
marine slid beneath the surface of the
water, only the periscope and the top
of the coming tower being visible.
While in this position the first tor
pedo was fired. It's course through
the water as it Travelled in an easter
ly dire ion at about twenty-four
Knots an hour, could be traced by a
long string of disturbed water which
was left in it's wake.
The Grampus, commanded by En-
sign ]. Poldin, gave an almost identi-
cal performance. Commander Rich
ardson, the commodore" of the tor
pedo fleet, declared the tests very
satisfactory.

LOST ON DESERT
TWO NEAR DEATH
Men, with III Horse on Hands,
Reach Refuge After Great
Suffering
Especial to The Herald

SAN BERNARDINO, July 21.-
George Hamer and Roy L. Davis ar
rived here today after terrible ex-
perience crossing the desert and noun
tains. For 12 hours they were without
water, the mercury standing at 13O
The hot blasts of wind blowing from
Death valley added to their sufferings.
The men started from Furnace creek
Monday, driving a covered wagon.
They figured on making certain water
holes on the way, but in the night
camped during the morning hours in
the very heart of a desolate waste
being compelled to stop in order to
doctor a sick horse.
At o'clock that morning they con-
sumed their last drop of water and
started for the mountains, having re-
gained their position on the desert,
The heat and the illness of one horse
made progress slow, and it was not
until o'clock that night that they
finally reached a waterhole.
The two horses were ready to drop.
Their tongues were hanging from their
mouths, their eyes were sunken and
it was with difficulty the men could
restrain the animals from plunging
into the water hole Both men also
suffered, and were barely able to water
the horses. This duty performed and
their own thirst being quenched, the
men threw themselves down on the
open desert and slept.
The mountain climb proved a try
ing one, the heat waves ascending to
the summit, and relief was not eX-
perienced until they had crossed Cajon
pass and were half way down the
west side of the mountains.

Associated Press1

SPOKANE, July 21.-The town of
Marble on the Columbia river, about
ten miles south of the Canadian boun-
dary, is said to be burning. The town
is surrounded by fire and it's destruc-
ton is expected. Indians bring news
to Bossburg that all the buildings at
the Napoleon mine, five miles west Of
the town, have been burned.
Dispatches from Nelson, B. c., state
that 300 government fire fighters are
working frantically to save the town
of Sandon from destruction. The flames
have already crept within one mile of
the place, and should the wind come
up the town will be doomed.
Valuable timber in the Sloan and
Arrow Lake districts has been de-
stroyed, as have several ranch build
ings and crops.
Fires around Nelson have not yet
been extinguished, and the city is en-
shrouded in dense smoke. Some fear
is entertained regarding Kaslo creek
district. The government has sent a
detachment of $50 men to check the
flames.

B|GAMY CHARGE
DISCLOSES GIRL
WIFE'S MARRIAGE
John S. Barter Learns of Wed
ding of 17-Year-0Id
Daughter
HUSBAND IS UNDER ARREST
Charge Victims Mother Was
Aware of Mans First
Marriage

Through the arrest of her husband of
less than two months in Denver yes
terday on charge OF bigamy, the mar
riage of 17-year-old Hazel Barter, for
merly of 557 Gladys avenue, has become
known to her father, friends and rela-
tives living here. According to news
received here yesterday, she was mar
ried to Albert S. Ives, a mining man of
ely, New, said to be worth over $780,
600, in Golden, Colo, on June II, and
since that time has been living with
him in Denver.
The marriage was a surprise to all
the young woman's friends and rela-
tives here. but was entered into with
the consent and approval of her moth
er, Mrs. Jennie Barter, who accompa-
MED her daughter from this city to
Golden, although the mother knew at
the time, it is stated, that Ives was al
ready married and had a child IL years
old.
The father of the girl, John S. Barter
of 305b South Spring street, did not
know of the marriage last evening, nor
did intimate friends of the family. All
are at Il loss TO account IOT lHe dndlT,
and particularly for the strange action
on the part of Mrs. Barter.
Is MYSTERY
Mystery surrounds the departure of
Miss Barter and her mother from Los
Angeles. The report was current among
the neighborS and close friends, who
were well acquainted with the family,
that Mrs. Barter had recently married
a man named Stanhope and was liv-
ing in Los Angeles. All were equally
certain that the daughter was with her
mother, although no one seemed to
know where either could be found.
1t is believed that Miss Barter first
met Ives in this city, and the two be-
came interested in each other. Accom-
panied by the mother, they are sup
posed to have gone to Golden together
and to have been married there, with
the latterS consent. Mrs. Ives No. l.
however, discovering the treachery of
her husband, yesterday secured evil
dence enough to warrant having Ives
arrested in Denver, where he had taken
No. to live.
Whether Mrs. Barter, or Stanhope,
is still with her daughter or has re-
turned to this city could not be learned
last evening. At the address she gave
friends, no one who had ever even
heard of her could be found.
Miss Barter was formerly employed
as an operator by the Sunset Telephone
company here. She also assisted her
mother in conducting a lodging house
at 557 Gladys avenue, and was we'll
known In that neighborhood. She was
a pretty girl, with engaging manners,
and was general favorite. Thetheory
is held by many that both she and her
mother were dazzled by Ives wealth.
A NINE OWNER
Ives, who is we'll known throughout
Nevada and Colorado, is owner of the
Redbird group of mines near Ely and
a stockholder and director in several
other mining companies. He not only
has a wife living, but an 11-year-old
daughter, and when arrested yesterday
is said to have made the statement that
Mrs. Barter was fully aware of these
facts before his marriage to Miss Bar
ter took place, but insisted on having
the ceremony carried out.

MINISTER CREEL WIRES
TIA JUANA ABOUT CASE
Ambassador Wilson Given In
StruCtionS to Act

MEXICO CITY, July 21.-The de-
partment of foreign relations at the
suggestion of the American ambassa-
dor has asked by telegraph for infor-
nation relating to the arrest and i'm
prisonment at Tia Juana, Lower Cal
ifornia, of d. w. Mckay, wealthy
Americar resident of San Diego.
Mckay is alleged to have run afoul
of the Mexican authorities through
tearing down a portion of the bound
airy fence on an estate he had pur-
chased.
Ambassador Wilson, anticipating the
arrival of the instructions from Wash
ington, which reached him today, had
already taken the matter up with
Foreign minister Creel on communi-
cation from Los Angeles signed by sew
eral prominent residents of that city.
McKays offense. according to the
understanding of the ambassador from
the meagre facts in his possession, is
alleged to constitute trespass, which
under the construction of the Mexi-
can law, is a crime. not a civil offense,
and is punishable by Imprisonment.

Second Bullet Is Found in Ashes

Associated Press1


CHICAGO, July 21.-Whether Ira G..
Rawn, president Of the Monon road,
was killed b. a burglar in his home
at Winnetka last Wednesday, or
whether, as is stated by the chief of
police he committed suicide, railroad
men declared today his death occurred
on the eve of what may be one Of the
greatest scandals in railroad history.
Questions asked Rawn at a hearing
July in the Illinois Central car re-
pair oase all were planned, it is said,
by attorneys, with the intent to in
criminate Rawn as responsible for the
losses to the road.
Rawn, 1t is declared, knew of the
purpose of counsel for the road, and
had sought by every legal means to
delay the progress of the examination.
Twice on personal pleas, he had OBJ
tanned postponement but the last eff
fort for delay had failed and the ex-
animation was to have been continued
Tuesday.
TO PUSH PROBE
His death will not cause any halt
in the inquiry, stated Walter L. Fish
er, one of tie attorneys in charge Of
the inquiry.
'It is a civil inquiry to determine the
amount of money involved" he said.
'"The questions were asked Mr.. Rawn
at the prior sessions to lay founda-
ton for facts ultimately to be brought
out"
For the first time since the death,
the air of secrecy was lifted from the
Rawn home late today, and newspaper
men were summoned. Upon their ar
rival announcement was made that a
second bullet. the absence of which
added to the appearance Of suicide,
had been discovered.
The bullet was found, according to
c. F. Hately, who is conducting the in
vestigation, in the ashes of a fireplace.
Samuel II. Greedy. president of the
village board of Winnetka, also tele-
phoned Assistant Chief of Police
Schuetler here, asking him to detail
two men to aid the investigation. A
representative of the private agency,
the men from which yesterday were re-
pulsed at the Rawn house, also was
summoned to aid in the investigation.
A new theory as to the means by
which Rawn was shot to death was
suggested late today from the office of
the private detective agency engaged
by the Rawn relatives to investigate
the death.
The opinion was expressed that Mr.
Rawn met his death as the result OF
an accident, and that in fact but one
shot had been fired, and that from the
revolver held by Mr.. Rawn.
"It is likely that Mr.. Rawn heard
some noise in his home, and, revolver
in hand, descended the stairs in search
Of an intruder" said an officer of the
detective agency. when near the bot
tom of the stairway, 1 believe he Stun
bled. and the revolver was discharged,
"This would account for the fact
that only one shot was heard by neigh
bors, and that there was no trace of a
robber in the house. Mrs. Rawn,
knowing he descended in search of a
burglar, and then finding him dead,
likely assumed he had been shot by a
burglar, when the death more probably
was caused by the accidental discharge
of his own revolver"
