FINE NEGLECTFUL
ARMY LIEUTENANT 7
Officer NegIeCts to Give Angle of
Mortar, and ProjeCtiIe
Strikes Ship

VANCOUVER, Wash, Aug. 4.-For
neglect to give the angle to the battery
commander before a twelve-incn NOR
tar was fired, resulting in the projectile
striking the u. S. S. Major Evan
Thomas, damaging the vessel greatly
and endangering the lives of all on
board, First Lieutenant Rollo F. An
derson has been court-martaled and
ordered confined to the post for two
months and fined $100.
Lieutenant Anderson of the coast ar
tillery had charge of a battery of
twelve-inch mortars at Fort Casey,
Wash, May 10. He failed to tell the
battery commander the angle at which
the mortar was laid before the first
shot was fired at a floating target
which was being towed by the steamer
Thomas.
In consequence of this the first shot
was fired with an error of one degree
and the second an error of ten degrees,
resulting in striking the steamer.
The court martial. of which Colonel
Foote was president, found that Lieu
tenant Anderson was guilty of all the
specifications, although he pleaded not
guilty.

TRUSTS CHIEF PERIL OF
U. S., DECLARES EDUCATOR
Benjamin Ide Wheeler Says Tariff
Aids Monopoly

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-Trusts and
the tariff are the chief perils of the
United States, in the opinion of Ben
jamin Ide Wheeler, president of the
University of California, who is in
New York on his way back to the Pa
cific coast from Germany, where he
filled the Roosevelt lectureship in Ber-
lin university this year.
People abroad say the chief matter
for concern about this country is the
way the trusts are increasing, he said
to his interviewers on his arrival here.
''They think we cannot control
them," he added; that the opportu-
mites we have given them, especially
through the tariff, have endowed them
with power we cannot overcome.
mo doubt the tariff is the thing we
have got to tackle earnestly and quick
ly. 1t has built up an artificial false
work which some day will have to fall
and the trouble on that day will be
very serious. The tariff has encour-
aged the making of money by indi-
viduals here and there in enormous
sums. but this money has not been dis
tributed among the people,

Great Citrus Crop

Will Beat Record
Santa Fe Traffic Officials Visit
San Bernardino to Figure
on the Years Fruit

SAN BERNARDINO. Aug. 4.-Ac-
csording to the estimates of the Santa
Fe traffic officials announced here to-
day, the citrus fruit crop of California
next season will be $4,000 cars, the
greatest harvest In the history of the
indunstry.
The figures were completed following
the visit of J. S. Leeds, manager of
the Santa Fe Refrigerator Dispatch of
Chicago, and other officials vitality con-
cerned in the fruit industry With
Mr.. Leeds there have been in San Ber-
nardino for several days past A. p.
McGinnis, president of the Gate City
Ice and Preceding company; William
son Bum, western manager of the Re-
frigerator Dispatch, and other officials.
The gathering of the information on
which to base the estimate for next
years business included the personal
inspection Of the groves of the San
Bernardino valley. The crop is from
three to six weeks early, according to
the officials, and in some sections the
trees are so heavily laden with fruit
that the growers have already found 1t
necessary to start propplng.
So confident are the traffic officials
that the crop will reach $4,000 cars that
steps have beeen taken toward the
enlargement of the capacity of the mil
lion dollar preceding plant in San
Bernardino. c. M. Gay, the inventor
of the system, accompanied the officials
through the plant, planning the
changes necessary to refrigerate more
cars daily. 1t Is said that 1000 re-
frigerator cars will be ordered.
During the season now closing a
total of 2S,000 cars of oranges and
lemons have been shipped from Cali
fornia, and during the season previous
the total was $4,000, which now holds
the record as the banner crop. 1t is
said that the railroads are arranging to
handle the enormous crop and that
mistaken estimate means q loss of thou
sands of dollars in needless expenditure
to them. Mr.. Leeds left today for

LONDON FRIENDS OFFER HELP

QUEBEC, Aug 4.-Those mysterious
London friends of DIR. Hawley H. Grip
pen who have retained counsel to de-
fend him on a charge of wife MUIR
der proffered further assistance by
cable today.
Two messages were delivered to the
dentist in his cell The first asked If
he needed funds; the second inquired
about the rumors to the effect that he
had confessed.
Crippen replied by cable that he
would appreciate some money, and re-
assured his friends he had made no
admission that would hurt his case.
1t was said that a local attorney
whose name the authorities declined to
divulge, sent word today to Miss
Leneve offering to represent her in any
legal proceedings. She declined his
services In her answer the young
typist showed the 50-year-old dentist
with the pale face and fishy eyes still
eXerts a strong influence over her.
She sent back word that her case
was DR.. Crippen's and that she would
return to England to make her fight
with him. And she has let fall no
word likely to incriminate the man.
Premier Gouin said today that DR..
Crippen has made no confession.
The premier, who also is attorney
general for the province, throws some
interesting legal light on the Canadian
end of the case.
''The crime, If crime there was" he
said. was committed in England. AS
Canada is a part of England, there
can be no extradition of DIR. Crippen.
His departure for London can be
brought about only through the pre-
scribed operation of the fugitive Of
Tenders act 1t will be necessary.
therefore, for the English police to
prove only that the accused is a fugi-
tive from justice. charged with muir
der. The question of whether the ac-
cused is guilty does not enter into the
matter here
Miss Leneve received a cablegram
from London newspaper offering her
$50 for a 2000-word article describing
her wanderings in Europe with Grip
pen After reading 1t with wan
smile she told the detectives she had
no reply to make.

QUEBEC OFFICIALS DENY
CRIPPEN MADE CONFESSION

LONDON, Aug. 4.-Scotland Yard is
kept busy denying all sorts of rumors
concerning Crippen and Miss Leneve,
the most recent describing an alleged
confession by the doctor, emanating
from Quebec.
Superintendent Froest treated the re-
port lightly, intimating that Inspector
Dew would not be likely to give out
information in Quebec which he had
not first cabled to headquarters here.
Sergeant Mitchell, accompanied by
two wardresses who will take charge
of Miss Leneve, sailed this morning
on the steamer Lake Manitoba for
Quebec.
Solicitor Newton, who has been re-
tained to defend DR.. Crippen, made his
first move today when he filed a for
NAL application asking the authorities
to permit an independent physician to
examine the bits of human flesh found
in the Crippen cellar.
1t is understood that Newton will
contend that they cannot be identified
as having belonged to the body of
Belle Elmore.

LAWLOR UNTITLED,
F|CKERT CHARGES
San Francisco District Attorney
Severely Criticises Judge
in Calhoun Case

District Attorney c. M. Fickert of
San Francisco in words ringing with
contempt last evening expressed his
opinion of Judge Lawlor's attitude in
the Patrick Calhoun case climax of
Wednesday when, during a dramatic
scene in the San Francisco court, three
of the city's prominent attorneys were
sentenced to serve time in Jail for con-
tempt of court. Mr.. F'ickert said:
Judge Lawlor is one of the craft
lest politicians ever in the political
game and his doings in the Calhoun
case were for effect, to boost his cam
didacy for the supreme bench of Cal
ifornia.
ITO his insinuations, he denied us
the attorneys for the defense and my
self-the right to reply, and before the
proceedings were over Bulletins We're
out with his printed statements.
'The eople down here" continued
Fickert, "do not know him or under
stand him. He is untitled, both by
education and temperament, to preside
on the bench, having been elevated to
that exalted position from the free
lunch counter by his clever political
scheming."
These statements were snapped out
by the district attorney while seated
in one of the settees in the Hotel AL
eXandria lobby in such a manner as to
leave no doubt as to the prosecutors
attitude toward the northern judge.
Mr.. Fickert seemed to mean every
word that he uttered. He continued:
Judge Lawlor wants everyone
brought before him proved guilty. To
reach this end in the Calhoun case he
has had that case continued three
years over the objection of the de-
fendant, who, according to law, is en-
titled to trial within sixty days.
"I have a typewritten document,
record of the proceedings, in my room,
showing where Lawlor insinuated that
had been instrumental in spiriting
away Gallagher, when it is a known
fact that Gallagher left shortly after
had been elected-leaving for fear
I would prosecute him.
L stated to the court on one occa-
sion," continued Fickert, with a smile
a the memory that if he, Lawlor,
had knowledge of the defendant (Cal-
houn) spiriting away Gallagher, and
had not brought the matter to the at
to- tion of the grand jury, he was gull
ty of compounding a felony. Anyway,
the evidence in the Gallagher case
shows thaat Gallagher went away with
William j. Burns. chief special agent
of the district attorneys office"
Fickert then referred to the dramatic
climax in the courtroom when Stan
ley Moore, attorney for Calhoun, IN
heated words, expressed his opinion
of the way in which the case was be-
ing conducted by the court. Mr. Flick
ert said:
STANLEY, when making the attack,
held sample ballot in one hand on
which Lawlor's name was printed as
candidate for the supreme court"
Mr.. Fickert will journey from here
to Tehachapi, where he owns a ranch.
Accompanying him will be several
friends and while in the mountains
hunting will be their diversion.

Los Angeles.
CHICAGO, July 12-wheat dipped early on
cool weather and general rains over night IN
the spring wheat states, along with weagness
in European centers, but later rallied and
scored a good advance because Of strength in
the northwest and reduced crop estimates there.
One of the local experts who Is now traVellng
there reported crop unresponsive to recent
rains, and reduced his estimate on North Da-
kota 100000 bushels to S5,OoO,O0o thus indi-
eating 1860 900 in the three states against
1863 OO0 bushels indicated by the government.
The same authority put Canadian northwest
at about rs, 90, 600 bushels, which compared with
147 900 900 bushels official and about u.s.
O00 900 bushels as trade estimate of Canadian
northwest last year. Most Of the leading SELL
ers OF yesterday were buyers today, and In
addition many local spectators Of size and
weight also bought Shorts were covering also.
All were influenced by the strength OF the
northwestern markets. New wheat purchases
here today aggregated 1875 eco bushels. -
Corn followed wheat in a general way, but
did not make as good showing. New crop
months did not fully recover early losses from
Yesterdays closing levels, while other months
made a modest net gain. Early prices were
lowest. based on fine rains over the oeIt ana @
cooler temperature. The later rally was on the
belief that sales to local receivers were more
from country dealers than from producers
The latter generally were busy with harvest
ing and corn cultivation. Crop adVices were
almost uniformly favorable.
oats were weak early. recovered good por-
tion of the lost ground later, but did not score
any net gain. Early selling was partly FOR
lon; account and based on fine rains and cooler
weather in sections where the crop Is going
to maturity.
shade easier Some little selling by September
longs was based on the larger run of hogs.
Buying was scattered, mainly by shorts.
