 SAN FRANCISCO, March 3.-The purchase from Mrs. Hetty Green, the New York capitalist, of the "Old Eu- reka' gold mine at Sutter Creek, Cal, by a syndicate of eastern millionares said to have been dickering for the property for more than three years, was announced here tonight The price was said to have been more than Sl- 000,00 and the deal a spot cash trans action.
 Among the purchasers, according to the announcement, were w. F. Corey eastern steel magnate; John D. Ryan and Tom Cole of the Anaconda group and Ambrose Mcneil of the Interna tional company.
 The mine, long known as "Hetty Greens pet kitten" was operated for a brief period in the early seventies and was reputed to have produced $20,- 000,G00. In 1877 Mrs. Green closed the mine down and caused it to be flooded with S0,000, 900 gallons of water The explanation for her action given at the time was that she thought rivals were attempting to force her to sell it Walter Beam, a Denver mining en- gineer arrived here today to purchase machinery to be used in pumping out the old shafts and tunnels and prepar, | for new operations.

 BEGGS BEGINS
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

SAN JOSE, March 3.-TaIiing of testimony in the Will M. Beggs case, an attorney charged with extortion un- der second trial, was begun today after a stormy and sensational morning ses- sion before Judge Franklin A. Griffin of San Francisco The storm centered around the question whether District Attorney Free had by his actions pre- Judiced the jurors against the defend ant. The court decided he had not and proceeded with the trial after a long argument in which threats were made by Attorney Harrington. William Eas- ton, juror was by consent of the court examined by Free as to his con- duct Wednesday night after he left the court room. At one stage of the controversy Attorney Harrington was ordered to sit down and keep quiet or he would be expelled from the court room.

STILL CHANGE
 FOR SETTLEMENT
Republican 4. p. Leased Wirel


 NEW YORK, March 3.-After hope had been abandoned today of reaching an agreement on the wage increases asked by the United Mine Workers in negotiations over a new contract for the soft coal fields of the middle west, the situation took a slightly favorable turn and tonight both operators and miners said there still was a chance of reaching d settlement.
 The miners will meet early tomorrow and it is expected they will present fig ureS relating to dead work and yard age on the mine run basis which may ease the situation. If they do not agree, sine die adjournment will re- salt and each of the four states in- volved will try to make wage contracts hy districts, something which both sides have tried to avoid, it is said. The miners today cut down their demand for a ten percent increase for dead work and yardage to five pei cent and also cut the twenty per cent increase demand for men paid by the day to 10 per cent. This was rejected | by the operators. The miners voted down a proposition to cut the tonnage increase from three cents to two cents with a corresponding reduction in the advances asked in the other classes of work.

PARIS, March 3.-While it appears certain that Verdun remains the prin- cipal objective of the Germans, their offensive is full of possibilities which will be revealed as the great battle progresses.
 The region of Douaumont, which comprises three positiOns-the village, the radoubt and the fort-again was the center of a fierce German attack today. The combat continues about this region. The fact that the Ger mans succeeded in entering the will lagc is considerd by military observ ers only as a fluctuation in the tide of battle that is likely to occur dur ing any important action.
 A concentrated fire of the French guns in the Woevre has forestalled q contemplated sortie on the part of the Germans. In following the present developments the military observers discuss the possibility of an attack on the right bank of the Mouse by the Germans and question whether the Germans will devote more atten- ton in the vicinity of FTesnes, on

the extreme French right. These are among the mysteries of the action.
 It becomes evident that the Ger mans in the battle lasting from the 21st to the 26th of February used only part of their forces. Although they had put in line seven army corps there must have been an imperative reason for thus dividing their forces, and it is attributed to the lack of space, the sector which was the scene of the furious combats being extremely small-not more than ten kilometers long.
 There is also speculation as to the duration of the battle Comparison of the fighting around Verdun is be- ing made with the fights on the lsonZo and at CZernowitZ, each of which lasted about a month. The battle at CZernoWitZ is considered as particularly comparable with that at Verdun. it having been on limited front and consisting of a series of eX- tremely vigorous frontal attacks, sep arated by pauses.

LARGE SUMS BEING SUBSCRIBED
 FUR THE NEW GERMAN WAR JOAN

Cardinal Hartmann, archbishop of Cologne, has sent circulars to all churches under his jurisdiction ad- vising the investment of church funds in the loan.
 London newspapers, according to the Overseas News Agency, announce in glaring headlines Essen Bank Fails; Krupp Workers Lose Their Savings and in following reports it is said that the "Rheinish Bank at Essen has just entered into liquida- tion.'
 French newspapers, in order tu complete the description of German Financial disaster tell in dispatch from Geneva that the Middle Rhein- ish Rank at Coblenz also has liqui- dated.
 This news, the agency says, reached the Anglo French financial experts rather late, because the Middle REcinish Bank was liquidated August 1b, 1915 when it's entire business Was taken over by the well known Schaafehausen Banking Union, which also paid the shareholders. Not a creditor lost q cent in the transac- tion, which was part of the move ment of concentration in German banking circles.
 The Rneinish bank closed July 19 1915 for similar reasons because il was amalgamated with the wei known Disconto Gesellschaft, whicf owns the Schaafehausen Banking Union. These transactions are along the same lines as, for instance, the transfer of the English United Coun- 1 ties Bank 10 Barclay and company This kind of news service,' tho agency concluded.

By Vote of 6S to IA Senate Carries Out Presidents Wish and Stops Warning of Americans Off Armed Ships
Republican A. p. Leased Wire]

WASHINGTON, March By a
 vote of 6S to IA the senate today carried out President Wilson's wish
 and killed Senator Cores resolu
 tion to warn Americans off armed
 belligerent ships.
 In a turbulent scene, such as is
 seldom witnessed in the senate, vot
 ing proceeded with senators shout
 ing objections, futilely demanding
 recognition to explain their posi-
 tions and making hot retorts to each
 other, all of which were out of or
 der. At the time so many senators
 were shouting for the vice -presi
 dents recognition that the sergeant
 at-arms was called to restore quiet.
 After having maneuvered for two
 days to get the resolution in such
 preliminary position that it was dis
 posed of without debate, the senate then proceeded to a general discus
 sion of the subject which continued Iall afternoon to the dismay of admin istration supporters. There were free expressions of opinion that the senate's action, because the vote actually was taken on a motion to
 table the Gore resolution with a correction by the author and a sub stitute by Senator McCumber was in effect a Scotch verdict" and had not actually accomplished the pur- pose of the president Such state ments aroused the presidents friends who feared they would produce an Loft ncito +n haf tended, a notice to the world that the senate stands behind the pres
 ident in his demands in Germany for the rights of Americans travel ing the seas.
 In the house, however, the for eign affairs committee by a vote Of r to , took a longer step to- ward meeting fully the president s wishes. It voted to report the Me
 Lemore warning resolution with the recommendation that it be tabled. In the report, the committee as serts that the constitution imposed the conduct of diplomatic negotia- tions on the president and with this practice the committee does not feel it proper for the house of rep resentatives to interfere
 It probably will be voted on in
 the house tomorrow under a spe- cial rule Administration forces are confident of a full fledged victory At the White House satisfaction was expressed with the >senates ac- tion.
 Senator Gore voted for the mo- tion to table and declared he con- sidered the administration victory a mixed one.
 The debate which followed the senate vote was sensational. Senator Lewis, the democratic whip, plead ing with senators for moderation in their remarks. declared the Spanish war, would have been averted by action in congress similar to that taken today and that the war was | brought on by vituperative debates. | Senator Clarke, democrat of Arkan- sas, who voted with the adminis- l tration forces, declared their action did not represent the real sentiment (COntinued on Page FiVe)

WASHINGTON, March 3.-Only 15 of the 21 battleships of the Atlantic fleet are on active duty in West In- dian waters, three of the other six be- ing so crippled for lack of officers and men that they cannot operate with the fleet, and the other three either awaiting or undergoing eX- tensive repairs. The 15 active ships are short from s to r officers each of the number assigned to them by the navy department, and 1000 coal nassers, electricians, gunners' mates, and other trained enlisted men, al though they have aboard about 100 more men than the total personnel allowed by regulations.
 This was the situation of the fleet as pictured today by Admiral Fletcher, commander in- chief, before the house naval committee. He added that in his opinion and that of vari- ous boards of officers who had stud

led the subject, the battleship souad- rons of the active fleet required at least 5000 additional men over the compementS now assigned The shortage in the various ratings he explained, however, would not mater lally injure the efficiency of the fleet were it called upon immediately to engage an enemy
 The lack of officers was the most serious aspect Admiral Fletcher thought because it requires ten years to train a competent lieutenant or lieutenant commander. Nothing that congress, much less the navy depart ment, can do, he said, can remedy the situation at once. Many sugges- tons as to how the training of young officers might be hastened had been advanced, he added. but in his opin
 lon the only effective and logical way
 would be to increase the Annapolis
 cadet corps to 2.OOO men and await : their development.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 3-The federal indictment charging Franz Bopp, German consul general here, and five others with conspiracy to set on foot a military expedition to encompass destruction of British property, was virtually dismissed today when Judge Maurice T. Dooling, in the United States district court sustained the de-
 murrer to the indictment filed by the consulate's lawyers. There is still an other indictment against the accused men on which the court did not rule.
 In addition to Bopp those under in dictment were: Baron E. H. von Schack, German vice consul; George Wilhelm von Brincken, attached to the consulate; Charles c. Crowley, de- tective employed by the consulate; Mrs. Margaret w. Cornell employed by Crowley in connection with his work for the consulate; and J. H. von Kool- bergen, said to have been hired to carry out certain alleged bomb plots | in Canada.
 1 The court sustained the demurrer on | the ground that the indictment con | tained no matter upon which the issue could be presented to a jury. There was nothing in the indictment, said Judge Dooling, apprising the defend
 ants of what they were accused beyond the general statement that they had | conSpired to set on foot a military eX- petition for the purpose of destroying
 ships belonging to Germany's enemies
 and blowing up bridges, railroads and | factories in Canada.
 It was further declared by the court
 that there was nothing in the indict- ment to show that the activities re- sponsible for the alleged bombing oi bridges and factories in Canada con- stituted what could be called military expedition and were not merely direct ed against the individual owners of the property destroyed or threatened.
