ELkS GIVE SKIN TO
SAVE W0MAN'S LIFE
Seventeen Members of Order Submit
Themselves to Knife of Sur
geon So That Wife of
Brother May Live

A remarkable skin grating opera
ton was performed at the Sisters hos
pital yesterday morning when seven
teen members of ElkS lodge No. 9S
volunteered each a piece of their skin
that the life of Mrs. S. A. LuteS, wife
of a fellow Elk, might be spared. That
the operation will result successfully
was the statement made last night by
DIR. Ralph Hagan, who performed it.
and was corroborated by the attend
ants at the Sisters hospital, who stat
ed that Mrs. Lutes was resting COM
fortably and had an excellent chance OF
recovery.
Two weeks ago Mrs. Lutes was bad
ly burned about the right side as the
result of the explosion of a gasoline
stove at her home on the Moffat road
She was sent to the Sisters hospital
and hovered between life and death
for q week. 1t was finally decided
that a skin grating operation to re-
place the cuticle which had been
burned was the last eXpedient that
might save her life A week ago yes
terday a minor skin grating opera
ton was performed by DIR. Hagan'
but the results were not satisfactory.
The nature of the case was reported
to the Ell1s and at once seventeen
members volunteered to part WIN
some of their cutice if it might save
the life of their fellow member
ACCOMPANIED by DIR. Hagan the
seventeen Ellls went to the Sisters
hospital yesterday and from each was
taken a strip of skin. The delicate
task of grating was then completed
and the entire burned part of the body
covered with the healthy skin of the
volunteers.

REPORTS VESSEL ON
FIRE AND ABANDONED
| Wireless Picks Up Message from
Merchant Shlp-Derelict Sup
posed to Be Schooner from
Delaware

WASHINGTON, Feb. GA vessel on
fire and abandoned at sea was reported
today by wireless telegraph to the ma
val photographic office. The wireless
message came from merchant ship
whose call signal is "Uz." but the name
of which is not listed.
The message, in effect, was that the
merchantmen had passed green
schooner with black board and white
stern, with yellow stripe, on fire at sea
in latitude 1925 north, longitude 73;4O
west. Her name, in black letters, ap-
peared to be George P. Phillips, Della
ware. Her boats were gone and no
body Iwas aboard. A high sea was
running at the time. The telegram was
signed Davis"
It appears probable that the burned
schooner was the George F. Phillips OF
Seaford, Del, which sailed from Bal
timore January 23 for Wilmington, N.
c., in command of Captain Gaskins.
She carried a crew of four. The vessel
was built at Bethel, Del, in 1901, was
of 27O gross tons, 1902 feet long and
28.3 feet beam.
So far as reported, the crew has not
been picked up nor landed at any port.

AWAITS SENTENCE
PAYMASTER HOPES FOR LIGHT
PUNISHMENT
Friends Believe Circumstance of His
Defending Pretty Miss Hesler
VIII Not Bring Harsh
Disciplining
Gsnecial to The Herald

BOSTON, Feb. 6.-Friends of Pay
master George P. Aud, against whom
a court martial in this city has heard
charges and forwarded it's findings to
Washington for final decision by the
secretary of the navy, declare the pun
ishment recommended by the judge
advocate of the court will not be as
severe as many have predicted.
Paymaster Aud was charged with
conduct unbecoming a gentleman and
officer in committing an alleged assault
on DR.. Howard S. Cowles. civilian,
the trouble being, it is alleged, an in
suit offered Miss Dorothy Hesler of
Chicago, who was visiting friends at
the navy yard at Charlestown. ~It is
hinted here that another woman also
figured in the case, Miss Madeline
Swift, daughter of Rear Admiral VIII
liam Swift, whose engagement to
Young man of Atlanta, Ca, was dis
cussed at dinner given on the Wa
bash by Paymaster Aud, and at which
Miss Swift and her sister, Virginia,
were present. 1t is claimed by one OF
the guests that Miss Virginia Swift
and DIR. Cowles figured prominently in
the discussion at the dinner, and that
some one remarked DR.. Cowles should
have been kicked from the ballroom,
the place where the alleged alteration
between DR.. Cowles and Paymaster
Aud took place.
Joseph Aud, in Washington, father
of Paymaster Auld, is looking after
his sons interests in the case, and it is
believed he will have some influence in
securing more lenient decision in the
case than has been suggested by the
Judge advocate at Boston. 1t is said the
Denalty recommended by the court
martial is a reduction of fifteen points,
hit this is believed to be more Sc
we're sentence than will be approved by
the authorities at Washington. Major
Henry Leonard, counsel for AUD, is
also optimistic of results.
Paymaster Aud has many friends IN
civil as well as in naval circles in Bos-
ton, and nearly ali declare that DR..
CoWles only "got what was coming TO
him" Even friends of the doctor say
the victim of the naval officers wrath
went too far when he refused to re-
linouish the photograph of Miss Heslerr
he is claimed to have withheld, and
that he was too presumptive when he
harbored the notion that Miss Hesler
was infatuated with him.
public decision in the case is ex-
pected in few days from Washington.

PAYS EXPENSE BACK TO
FACE CRIMINAL CHARGES
William C. Hays Accused of over-
drawing Account in Bank He
Was Connected With

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 6.-Return-
ing from Memphis, Tenn, at his own
expense TO face the criminal charges
that have been brought against him,
William c. Hays, manager and vice
president of the defunct Union State
bank of this city, was arrested here
this afternoon under two complaints.
He is accused OF overdrawing his ac-
count in the bank, with which he was
connected to the amount of $1,000, and
of obtaining $1,000 under false pre-
lenses. He is being held in the city
prison IN default of $4,000 bail.
Hays arrived here yesterday, passed
the afternoon at a vaudeville house
and then went to see his 4-months-
old child, born since he left San
Francisco. He engaged a room at a
downtown hotel under his own name.

charged upon loan OF $4,000 secured
by a financial company backing the
institution. He denies both charges
against him.

Mining Men Meet Horrible

Associated Press1

n HOEN1X, Ariz., Feb. 6.-Heedless
of the warning of foreman in
- charge of excavating operations
along the line of the private motor
road from Kelvin to the Ray copper
mines, the motorman of a gasoline car
containing six passengers ran the car
close to the excavation just as a splut-
tering fuse burned to a great charge
of dynamite, and the car, with its
seven occupants, was blown to atoms.
THE DEAD
j. B. JOYCE, civil engineer.
A. s. BIEBER, civil engineer
j. G. GRIFFIN, civil engineer.
r. p. COLEMAN, mining engineer.
w. II. FREEI-AND, mining engineer.
WALTER G. FRANZ, mining engineer.
w. II. LYALL, motorman.
Joyce, Bieber and Griffin were em-
ployed by the Ray Consolidated Cop
per company; Coleman of Salt Lake
City, Freeland and Walter c. Frenz
were employed by Henry Krumb and
were engaged in sampling and develop
ment work at the Ray Consolidated
mines, and Lyall was in charge of the
gasoline car.
Fails to Heed Warning
The mining foreman had discovered
a missed shot in the excavation at
noon, and before the motor car came
in sight he had lighted the fuse.
AS the car approached he signaled
the motorman and warned him of the
impending explosion.
Motorman Lyall, evidently believing
he could take his car past the charge to
safety before the explosion. paid no
Heed to the warning and started at
full speed.
Just as the car was passing the
charge the explosion came, and the
car, with its load of human freight,
was blown high in the air amid a
great cloud of dust and debris, and the
lives of all those inside of it were
snuffed out on the instant.
All of the dead men were prominent
in mining affairs in Arizona and were
engaged in development work on the
Ray Consolidated properties.
The accident occurrerd a mile and
a half from Kelvin. OF the victims,
Coleman's home was in Salt Lake,
Joyces at Denver, Bieber's at Cleve-
land; Krenz' at Berkeley. The resi-
dence of the others is not known here
The bodies will be brought to Phoenix

CINCINNATI, Feb. 6.-Inability to
induce jury of American men to con-
Wet a woman is assigned by the prose-
cution as a reason for the disagreement
today of the jury which was trying
Mrs. Jeanette Stewart Ford, charged
with blackmailing Charles l.. Warmer,
defaulting treasurer of the Big Four
railroad.
Although testimony showed that Mrs.
Ford had received nearly 100000 as the
price of her silence and, although 9TH
er damaging evidence was presented,
the Jury was unable to agree and was
discharged.
They stood eight for acquittal and
four for conviction on the final ballot,
according to Judge Swing, who after
he dismissed the jury said he had been
informed that was the result of the
last ballot.
Refused to Believe Warriner
The unexpected end to the case was
explained by two jurors as due to the
fact that a ma ajority of their colleagues
refused to credit the testimony OF
Warriner. They asserted that man
who had confessed to embezzling Tor
twenty-five years would not hesitate
to perjure himself against a woman
who, he believed, had been the cause
of his exposure.
Prosecutor Hunt said tonight he eX-
pected to bring the woman to trial
again in three weeks. At the same
time he intimated he might abandon
the case. He said the result of the
trial was due "to species of diseased
mentality which seemed to affect
American jurors and prevent them
from convicting woman on any
charge"
He declared the same process of
reasoning was evidenced in the SYM
pathy displayed for Evelin Nesbit
Thaw and Nan Patterson.

He wrote in his diary one day: Il

lieve it does as much for me as my

friends succeeded in persuading him
to get his hair cut according to the pre-
vailing fashion. On March 10 of that
year he wrote in his diary: '"This day
my hair sacrificed and the will of God
usurped by the wishes of man. AS the
barber clipped my locks rapidly it re-
minded me Of the horrible times Of
the French revolution when the same
