MUT|NY
AND FOUR PERISH
REFUSED PERMISSION TO GO
ASHORE DOZEN ATTEMPT
TO ESCAPE.

Philadelphia, Po, June ia mu-
tiny on board the British steamship
Highland Monarch, outward bound for
Auckland, New Zealand, followed by
dash for liberty by dozen Chinese
members of the crew, resulted in the
drowning yesterday of four and the
narrow escape of three others. The
men rescued are in police station,
while the remainder of the mutineers
are in irons aboard the ship.
The trouble started Thursday night.
The Highland Monarch had been lying
in the Schhuykill river at Point
Breeze, in the extreme southwestern
part of the city, for three weeks, load
ing case oil for New Zealand. AS the
United States immigration law places
fine of $500 on the captain of a
steamer for every Chinese member 81
a crew that escapes, ahe twenty
Cinnamon aboard were rot permitted
to leave the vessel, while the other
twenty men in the crew, and all Eng
lishmen, were given shore leave.
The confinement grew irksome and
as the ship was to sail yesterday one
of the Mongolians asked First Mate
Bowman to allow him a few hours on
shore. Being refused, the Chinaman
drew knife and chased the first mate
about the ship. The man was finally
tripped by white member of the
crew and in falling cut himself
He was placed in irons and an hour
later nearly all of the Cinnamon made,
break for liberty.
The Englishmen were on the watch,
however, and a hand to hand fight fol-
lowed, which resulted in the Chinese
the ship.
Shortly after o'clock yesterday
morning, the Highland Monarch got
under way with the Chinese in the
stokehold firing the boilers. SUDDENLY
as the steamer was passing through
the draw at Penrose ferry bridge, a
dozen Cinnamon appeared above the
deck and without an instant's hesita-
ton seven of them leaped overheard.
Captain Woods, who was on the
bridge, sounded the whistle stopped
the ship, and ordered a crew to man
the boat. The whistle attracted the
bridge tender who threw the swim
mers ropes, which they refused to
catch
In the struggle for liberty the men
had to fight the strong tide and four
of them sank before reaching shallow
water. The other three just managed
to reach shore

GOLDF|ELD OR RENO
THE BATTLE-GROUND
BOTH CITIES MAKING STRONG
BID FOR JEFFRlEs-JoHN-
SON FIGHT.

San Francisco, June 18.-Despite
the fact that Tex Richard positively
stated early yesterday that the John
son-Jeffries fight would be hello in
Goldfeld, Nevada, the sporting world
is unconvinced. There is a lingering
suspicion that Reno will be the bat
tleground.
Richards announcement was made
yesterday morning en- the receipt of
telegram from Maurice Sullivan, a
merchant of Goldfield, containing an
offer of $4,000 for the fight, and
Richard without hesitation declared
for Goldfeld He Immediately quail
fed his decision with IF no higher bid
is received from the Nevada town
No sooner had the word of Richards
action reached Nevada, than the
wires were burdened with messages
of protest and treaty from Reno and
Ely. Richard informed the petition
ers there that he would listen to them
Sunday night, in Reno. Goldfield will
also be represented. 1t appears that
the meeting will be an auction at
which the fight will go to the high
est bidder

DIVERS UNABLE TO
FIND CHARLTON BODY
Police Continue in Belief That the
Young Man Is Still Among

Como, Italy. June 1S.-Throughout
yesterday the divers roamed the bot
tom Of Lake Como in the vicinity
where the body of Mary Scott Castle
Charlton was found, but their work
was fruitless
They failed not only to discover the
body of the husband, Porter Charl-
ton, whom many believe to have
been murdered by the slayer of his
wife, but brought up nothing from
the waters depth that shed any light
On the mystery.
Local interest in the case continues
intense and the operations yesterday
were watched with undated interest
by a great crowd on shore.
The search of the lake is being
made by the italian government at
the wish of American Ambassador
Leishnlan and American Consul
Caughy at Milan, who still hold that
the theory of double murder should
not be abandoned until every effort
to solve the mystery of Charlton's
disappearance has been made.
On the other hand the police have
doubled their efforts toward the col
lection OF evidence that the young
bank clerk is still alive. They are
operating on the principle that if
Charlton is dead he is removed as a
factor in the case, while if no sur-
vlNed the tragedy, every hour of de-
lay in following up less promising
theories will weaken the probability
of ever locating him.

DOOM OF FIGHT

positive assurance that they (Fickart
and MARTINI will not permit a single
round to be fought. Their promises
were given to me personally. | be-
lieve and expect that they will be
kept The doom of prize fighting IN
California has been sounded" These
statement was made by Governor
Gillett. The prize fight controversy
plunged San Francisco yesterday into
a crisis bearing the aspects of min
iature civil war. Openly defying the
governor who had ordered out two
companies of militia to prevent the
fight if the city authorities refused to
act, Louis Blot, the promoter, declares
that he will hold the Langford-Kauf-
man affair today even though IAN
army" is called upon to block the pro-
ceedings.
Ostensibly Blot stands alone, but
until late yesterday he had at least
the passive support of the district at
torney and the courts. At the eleventh
hour, the district attorney, and chief
of police pledged their word to the
states attorney general to prevent
the fight. and Governor Gillett has
held up his order to call out the state
troops,
The outcome of Blot's rebellion will
not be determined until this afternoon
when the fighters are to come to-
gether.
The situation is believed to be I'M
paralleled. For time it appeared
like the city against the state, for the
district attorney persisted that there
was nothing in the laws of California
prohibiting either the Langford-Kaut-
man or the Jeffries-Johnson contest.
But the pressure was brought to
bear that induced Attorney Fickert
to retreat from his position, and assur-
ance has been given by Chief OF Po-
lice Martin that the principals will
not be permitted to enter the prize
ring. Governor Gillett is not entirely
convinced that Mr.. Blot may not at
tempt to go on with the fight, and has
instructed the adjutant general to be
at the ring side prepared for instant
action.
Rumors were afioat last night that
the governor misunderstood the decla-
ration of the local officials and that
notwithstanding the pledges given the
authorities do not intend to call off
the fight unless they feel it has gone
beyond the bounds of an elastic defini-
ton of boxing bout and developed
into a genuine prize fight.
Superior Judge Van Nostrand in
the afternoon declined to grant a
temporary injunction against the
fight, refusing petition by the attor-
ney general This put the matter up
to the governor The judge said he
denied the petition on the ground that
sufficient time had not been given the
defendants to present their case, but
stipulated that his action should not
be construed as an adjudication of the
controversy.

The block signal statistics also are
an interesting commentary on the de-
velopment of safety appliances. The
total length of road in the United
States operated under the block sys-
TEN on jan / was 65,75S miles. Of
this, 14,237 was automatic and 81 $50
manual. During the year 1909, there
was an increase of 2,047 miles in the
length of road covered by the auto
matte block system and an increase
of 4,162 covered by the manual block
Ten roads not having heretofore re
ported the use of block signals ap-
pear in the report.
Mckinley system officials state that
within year interurban cars will be
operating on a through line from Chi
cago to st. Louis. This has been a
long heralded feat, mere dream, an
idle fancy in the minds of many, but
is true. Practically the last link in
the chain is the Joliet franchise and
this is forming the greatest obstacle.
A company known as the Fisher lines
already holds franchise on the city
streets of Joliet and is causing the
Mckinley people some trouble The
fight between the two lines mas
reached white heat and a settle
ment must be reached soon or the
Mckinley lines will not get into Jol-
out of the penitentiary city the road
will probably reach Chicago by way
of Aurora.
