thirty years old. while the object Of

LAND IN NICARAGUA
Madriz' Warship Disappears

low Bombardment
Especial to The Herald)

BLUEFIELDS, May 19.-One hun
dred and sixty bluejackets were landed
here today from the United States gun
boats Paducah and Dubuque to protect
American interests in Bluef1elds and
Greytown and to prevent fighting with
in the city limits between the soldiers
of the insurgent General Estrada and
the forces of President Madriz, which
threaten the two towns. The American
forces took several field guns and rapid
fire guns ashore with them, and are
prepared to enforce Commander Gill
mer's ultimatum, served on General
Irias yesterday, in which a lombard
ment of Bluefields and fighting within
the limits of the town were prohibited.
AS a result of Commander Gilmer's S
notice the steamer Venus, sent by Pres
ident Madriz to lombard Bluefields,
has disappeared from the harbor and
her destination is unknown. General
Irias left on the vessel, and the indica-
tions are that for the time being the
attacks planned by the Madriz gov
ernment on Bluefields and Greytown
have been abandoned.
General Estrada is still here and
says that he will continue his struggle
against Madriz. His forces, however,
have dwindled, and but for the protec-
ton afforded by the American warships
would probably be forced to surrender

AT EXPORT, Ore, May 19.-The ar
rival here today of George Hass-
- toff, chief engineer of the gas
oline steamer j. Marhoffer. en- route
from San Francisco, May IA, for Port
land Ore, brought the news that the
Marhoffer was burned at sea late yes
terday opposite point about twenty
miles north of Yaquima Bay.
The master, G. Peterson, his wife
and the crew, escaped in the vessel S
boats and succeeded in effecting a
landing. The ships cook, however,
died after leaving the vessel from in
juries and exposure.
According to Hasstoff, the fire start
ed in the engine room about o'clock
Saturday afternoon, 1t Is believed, from
gasoline which escaped from a leaky
pipe.
Hasstoff, who was on watch at the
time, had gone on deck for a moment,
and when he started to descend into
the engine room he discovered the
interior mass of flames. Hasstoff ran
to Captain Gus Peterson, who, realiz-
ing that the tanks were likely to ex-
plode at any moment, headed his craft
for shore, little over a mile distant.
The Marhoffer made the distance
without a mishap to her engines, and
ran onto a sloping reef about half
mile off the mouth of Fogarty creek.
The Marhoffer's two boats, which bad
been made ready, were launched. First
Mate H. Johnson and Mrs. Peterson,
the masters wife, and eight of the
crew, left in the first one.
WAVE OvERTURNs BOAT
The second boat, containing Captain
Peterson and the remaining, eight of
the crew, was fouled by a breaker as
it was leaving the Marhoffer's side and
overturned throwing all the occupants
into the water. The mates boat, how
ever, stood by and rescued all of them.
All but the cook was unin1ured. He
had been struck while struggling in
the water and so severely hurt that he
died during the night.
The flames broke out on the upper
works of the Marhoffer, almost before
the boat got clear of the steamer, and
fifteen minutes later the vessel was
a mass of flames. The steamer cOntin-
ued to burn we'll into the night and
this morning 1t was seen that the fire
had only been eXtinguished when the
vessel had been burned to the waters S
edge.
The shipwrecked party effected a
landing at the mouth of Fogarty
creek and finding a deserted hut near
by all but three of them spent the
night under this shelter, without fire
or food and drenched to the skin.
The remaining three, who composed
a. rescue party headed by Hasstoff,
set out for Newport to secure assis-
tance, but in their exhausted condi-
ton were able only to reach Cape
Foulweather lighthouse by daybreak
today. From there the news of the
disaster was telephoned to Newport
and wagons were at once sent to bring
the other members of the party to this
place.

LICK OBSERVATORY FINDS
NUCLEUS IN PLACE EXPECTED
Observers Uncertain Whether
Tail Has Been Missed

LICK OBSERVATORY, SAN JOSE,
May 19-The earth will not pass CEN
trally through the tail of Halleys
comet, if it passes at all tonight, ac-
cording to a statement given out by
Director w w. Campbell at 10 o'clock
tonight. DR.. Campbell said:
'"The nucleus of Halley's comet was
observed this evening in exactly the
predicted place by Astronomer Aitken.
1t was seen about three-quarters of
an hour after sunset. A faint glow
visible on the western horizon shortly
after the nucleus had set is believed
to have been the section of the tail
nearest the head projected on the sky
mo tail projected up on to the
sky was visible. and it is therefore
uncertain whether the earth and the
comets tail have yet met. If the earth
and the comet are to pass during the
night the earth will not pass centrally
through the tail and may even pass
entirely to the south of the tail"
1t Is probable that nothing further
will be received during the night as
there is no telegraphic communication
between San Jose and the mountain
and the telephone connection is un-
certain after 10 o'clock.

GR|LLED 4 HOURS
IN LOBBY CASES
Secretary Glenn of Illinois Manu-
facturerS' Association Be-
fore the Grand Jury
ASSOCIATED Press1


SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, May 19.-For
over four hours today John M. Glenn,
secretary of the Illinois Manufacturers
association, was before the Sangamon
county grand jury investigating alleged
legislative corruption.
The association has been mentioned
in connection with efforts to defeat
factory legislation. 1t is said during
the hearing the Illinois Steel company
and the Iroquois Steel company were
named in connection with the grant by
the state of valuable lands in South
Chicago.
Both of these companies are members
of the manufacturers association.
Under the terms of the grant, so 1t
is claimed, the Illinois Steel company
and the Iroquois Steel company were to
be given land in South Chicago said to
be worth $3,000,000 for 100000.
The appearance of Mr.. Glenn before
the grand jury is indirectly the result
of charges made by Prof. Graham Tay-
lor of Chicago that the Illinois Manu-
facturers' association had used undue
influence to kill bills the association
opposed
When Glenn appeared before the
grand jury he brought with him checks
and vouchers, as ordered by state
ATTORNEY Burke. He said the associa-
ton had a membership of 1900, that the
annual assessment is $40, and that
special assessment has never been made.
Among the bills which the Illinois
Manufacturers association opposed
were the employers liability bills, for
the drafting of which commission lat
er was appointed under a bill passed.
Other bills which failed to pass and
which the association opposed We're the
bill repeating the conspiracy law, the
fellow servant liability bill and some
of the pure food bills.
The inquiry is said to have thrown
some light on the other phases of the
Jackpot" feature of the investigation.

Light Curved Enough to
Avoid Our Sphere
NUCLEUS SEEN AFTER SUNSET
Especial to The IIerald)

YERKES OBSERVATORY, williams Bay,
Wis, May 19.-HaIley's comet has curvature
of the tail. Astral scientists at Yerkes oh
servatory have diagnosed the trouble, and
accounted for the failure of the caudal ap-
pendage to sweep the earth, according TO
schedule.
"The explanation is simple" said Prof.
Edwin B. Frost tonight. "The comet is like
a comma; it floats on a plane between the
earth and the sun. Its tail is like a commas
tail. 1t is curved and the end extends
toward the earth, but the tail approaches
us from convex side. We are unable to tell
how far how near the end may be be-
cause of our position in looking at the curve.
1t is like standing at distance and look
ing at the bowsde of a crescent on a line
with our eyes.
"The comets head passed the SUMS disc
according to our calculations. If the tail
had been extending straight out it also
would have brushed the earth at the same
moment. But the end is curved back-we
don't know how much-and that is the rea-
son for the delay. 1t may be twenty-fOur
hours or more or less-there is means OF
telling.
Between the hours of 12 and / today q
strange spectre was observed in the south
sky a short distance above the horizon.
There were curious patches unidentified
with anything ever here before. and
bearing a resemblance to dogs. They
were quite distinct from sun halo. The
whole staff of the observatory watched the
phenomena until it disappeared, but no one
could make any explanation for its appear
ance other than the possible effect of the
comet"

M CUNT WILSON oBsERvA-
wi TORY, May 19.-Dr. George E.
NA Hale, director of the observa-
tory, issued statement tonight in
which he said that the latest observa-
tions of the astronomers did not indi
cate that the earth had passed through
the tail of Halley's comet, and that his
computations would lead him to believe
that this planet would miss contact
with the wanderers appendage en-
tirely.
owe saw the comet at 73S this even
ing" said DR.. Hale. cat that time it
was one degree above the horizon, and
had the appearance of a hazy, nebulous
star. The color was reddish, but that
would not indicate anything, because
it was so near the horizon that surface
dusts and slight fog from the ocean
would likely explain the color.
1--WE looked carefully for the tail, and
thought we saw a faint indication eX-
tending upward and away from the
sun, but we may have been mistaken.
1 am not positive we saw the tail
at all.
'I do not know whether the earth
passed through the tail today or not.
1 have seen no indication of it. Obser-
vations taken today and carefully com
puted lead me to believe that we are
likely to miss the tail entirely. Ger
tainly we will miss it if we do not
pass through it tomorrow"

1--WE men are tired of peering through
women's headgear in the hope of being
able to catch an occasional glimpse of
what is going on in the chancel. We
are tired of straining our ears amidst
thickets of millinery in the effort to
