MEN RELEASED FROM COURT
ELECTION DAY STAY FREE
Eighteen Defendants Fail to An
sWer Call of Judge

Eighteen alleged "drunks" are want
ed in Police Judge Chambers court
to answer charges of imbibing liquor
too freely.
When the names of the eighteen
were called by Bailiff J. Vignes yes
terday morning none of the defend
ants responded Since all had been
released Tuesday on their own recog-
nizanae the court was saved the trou-
BILE of forfeiting bail.

Jaynes, come to COURT" called the
bailiff.
Harry May, Harry May, Harry
May come to COURT" was the second
call.
When Vignes reached the middle of
the list of non-appearances the situa-
tion became ridiculous and the court
spectators smiled. When eighteenth
name was called the order of the
court neared total decentralization.
"Your honor" said Vignes, turning a
smiling face toward Judge Chambers,
"these gentlemen are all out on their
own reqognizance."
"WeIE try the next case, them" the
court responded.
Investigation into the release of the
rpssing alleged inebriates revealed
released on their own reCognizance.
No further information was vouch-
safed.
Unofficially, numerous persons at
the central station connected the non
appearance of the prisoners in court
with the fact that Tuesday was cleo
tion day. 1t was generally rumored
that the presence of the eighteen was
imperatively needed at the polls.

the new clerk was not, and they in
vited him to join the choir. 1t was a
propitious hour in the fortunes of Dun
can, for at that moment Sperry, a drug
drummer, sauntered in, not to take
orders but to collect a bill that had
stood so long that the drummer
claimed it had grown whiskers. 1t was
only a matter of SAT, and Duncan again
pulled out Kellogg's stake and nom
chanantly handed Sperry $50 bill.
That was enough for the drummer. He
choled back his surprise and promised
to replenish the entire stock of the
drug store. At that interesting mo-
ment Pete Willing, the sheriff, rushed
in, noisily. Graham's note had gone to
protest, and as soon as judgment was
obtained it had been Lockwood's or
ders to shut up the shop.
Down into his pocket Duncan again
reached for that roll of bills. He
paused in momentary CONSERVATION

amounted to 1892, but he found that he
could cover it, and he approached Will
ling, counting out 100 dollar bills. Poor

DELAGUA, Colo. Nov. 9-Through
two openings scarcely 200 yards apart
the dead and living were taken from
the Delagua mines of the Victor
American Fuel company at the same
time today, but the dead far outnum-
bered the living. Tonight fifty-one are
known to be dead while eighteen have
escaped alive. One of the imprisoned
miners, staggering out OF No. mine
unaided, brought the news that others
were alive. The rescue crew then
brought thirteen others to the surface.
Carpenters were called to No. entry
to make rough stretchers and it be-
came known that thirty-five bodies
had been found piled in four entry
north. Later other bodies were found
in the same section of the mine, which
brought the total 10 fifty-one.
At 10 o'clock tonight thirty-five bod
les had been brought out.
Both living and dead found today
were foreigners. Twenty-nine MeXi-
cans were found in one heap. Seven
of the department heads of the mine
are known to be buried in a cavern
400 feet long. 1t may be many days
before the bodies are uncovered.

DETECTIVE AGENCY ASKS
FEE FROM SECRET FUND

Who owes the Nick Harris detective
agency $40, Chief Galloway or Prose-
cutor Guy Eddie?
Nick Harris asked this of the police
commission last night, but got little
satisfaction, for Mayor Alexander and
Commissioners Davidson and Johnson
voted to file the claim, while Commits
sioners Topham and Wellbon wanted
further investigation.
Harris claims that he was employed
by Guy Eddie to get evidence against
the Marathon club, charged with
selling liquor illegally, but that the cost
was to come out of the chiefs secret
service fund. The chief said he knew
nothing about it. Mr.. Eddie was not
present to give his side of the case.

CAFE PUNISHED FOR FREE
MEALS TO PATR0LMAN

The first light punishment under the
new liquor ordinance was inflicted by
the police commission last night, when
it suspended the restaurant liquor
license of the Rainier cafe until De-
cember 1 because Patrolman L. A.
Blaisdell was served free meals in the
restaurant.
Patrolman Blaisdell, who received the
free meals, was restored to duty with
loss of pay while he has been sus-
pended and a warning to take no more
free meals from anyone with whom he
might be inclined to feel lenient in case
of a violation of law.

FRIENDS SWELL FUND
TOSAVE W0MAN'S HOME
Two Hundred Dollars Needed for
Payment of Lien on
Residence

Although subscriptions to the fund
being raised to aid Mrs. Dolores Vidal
continue to reach The Herald daily,
more than $500 is still needed to pay
off the lien that rests against Mrs.
Vidars home at 626 Mission road.
Those who have interested themselves
in helping the widow save her home
are hoping that subscriptions will come
faster, now that the stress of the cam
paign has passed. Delay is costly, as,
under the law, penalties are added at
regular intervals for non-paynnent of
the lien.
Mrs. Vidal is dependent on the in
come of two daughters who work for
small wages. The assessment against
her property for the improvement of
Mission road was so heavy she could
not pay it. Penalties have increased
to a total too large at the start for
her to pay. Subscriptions received by
The Herald to date follow:

SYSTEM FOR JUDICIARY

Another matter of debate will be the
report of the system of judiciary pro-
cedure, made today. This abolishes
the fee system and fixes the num-
ber of state officers and salaries. Ac-
cording to this report the first staU.
officers elected shall hold office until
January 1, 1913.
The executive committee of the con-
stitutional convention reported a sub
stitute proposition today providing for
a system of state officers and salaries,
the officers to be elected for two-year
terms and the treasurer to be ineligible
for a second term. The elective officers
and their salaries are as follows: Gov
ernor, $4,000; secretary of state, $4,000;
auditor, $500; treasurer. $500; attorney
general, $25O0; superintendent of public
instruction, $2500.
The executive committee reported in
favor of the abolishment of the fee
SYSTEM, placing all state, county, pre-
cinct officers on a salary basis. The
same committee reported favorably on
proposition for creating the office of
state examiner.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov. 9.-Members
Of the constitutional convention enter
tain quite opposite views as to what
effect the result of Tuesdays elections
will have on ultimate statehood.
The convention is Democratic by a
large majority, and some Democratic
delegates believe that congressional
gains will prove a great assistance in
securing final admission of Arizona
There are, however, Republicans who
believe the effect will be opposite and
contend that with reduced Republi-
can majority the senate will not ac-
cept the constitution, thereby accept
ing two Democratic senators.
An extended debate is expected to-
morrow on the recall substitute when
it comes up in committee of the whole.
Attorneys in the convention are ex-
pected to make a determined effort to
have the judiciary excluded from the
operation of the proposed law.

SEVENTY YEARS Ago

MISSING OPERATOR
MAY BE in MEXICO
Reported That Vallejo Manager
of Western Union Is Short
in His Accounts

VALLEJO June 2.-No trace of the
missing manager Of the local Office of
the western Union telegraph company.
has been found and it is rumored that
the popular young fellow is now in
Mexico. McGrew left this city sud-
denly about 10 days ago, it being stated
at that time that he was going away on
a short vacation. 1t is now said that
his departure quickly followed a no.
tice from the auditor of the company
that that official would arrive here in
a day or two to examine the ACCOUNTS
of the office.
An examination of the books is said
to have led to the discovery that Nc
Grew was short in his accounts to the
extent of some $3.50. This shortage
has been made good by the Surety
company, which was responsible for
the missing operator, and it is reported
that a determined hunt is now being
made to locate McGrew. Playing lot
teries and slot machines is believed
to have been the cause of the young
mans downfall. He was an unusually
expert operator and was popular and
well thought of in this city, where he
was in charge of the office for about
eight months.
After the disappearance of her hus-
band Mrs McGrew remained in charge
of the office for several days, but has
now left town and is said to be on her
way to the home of parents in the
east
