ON OCEAN TRIP

PLYMOUTH, Eng, July 81. tU.H

rade, out from Newport, r. L.,
passed Lizard Head, below Ply
mouth, at 725 a. m. today.
The Lizard Head, SO miles from
Plymouth, is the southernmost tip

of the race.
The snappy and racily rugged Do
rade was one of 10 racing yachts to
leave Newport on July d, on the
daring Atlantic voyage to Plymouth.
1t neared its goal in the remarkable
time of II days.
The Dorace was the first sighted
so near its goal, and apparently was
leading the field on the perilous
cruise-a voyage called the most
daring race ever attempted"
The course lay over the North
Atlantic, through dangerous fog
zones and along the transatlantic
steamship lanes.
The Dorado is a 53-foot yawl,
owned by Roderick Stephens.

FORMER CABINET
OFFICER IS NOW
PRISON CONVICT

SANTA FEE, N. NJ, July 81. UP)-
Albert B. Fall, former secretary of
the interior in the Harding admin
istration, was convict today in the
New Mexico state penitentiary.
Fall was received last night as a
federal prisoner to serve year and
a day for accepting 100000 bribe
in the oil scandals. He was sent
directly to a room in the prison
hospital.
I'm sorry for my family, but
don't give a damn about myself" +"
he said.
The once mighty politician, faced
today the ignominous ceremony of
being "mugged," as his 542 fellow
convicts term 1t, and measured in
the prison Bertillon department.
His photograph, front and side, and
his fingerprints will be sent to
Washington to be placed in rogue's
gallery.
Warden Ed Swope said he would
treat the former cabinet member
in accordance with instructions
from Sanford Bates, federal super
intendent of prisons, which directed
him to take into consideration
Falls age and condition of health"
but to see he gets no special privi-
leges or favors.
Bates instructed Swope to pre-
vent Fall from giving any inter-
views, or having any visitors and
to strictly prohibit any absence on
his part from the Jail"

CHINESE HOLD
AMERICAN FOR
KILLING NATIVE

PEIPING, China, July 81. U.P)-.
A sensation in foreign quarters was
caused today by an announcement
at the United States legation that
DR.. Francis Tucker, medical mis-
sionary, had been arrested by the
Chinese in Shantung province.
The legation statement said that
Or. Tucker had been removed to
Tsinanfu, capital of Shantung, and
placed in prison.
The reported action is breach of
the extra -territoriality treaty with
the United States, which Washing
ton has refused to permit China to
abolish.
DR.. fuckers reported arrest fol-
lowed an incident at Tehchow
Shantung, recently, when he fatal
" wounded a Chinese worker in the
missionary hospital with which he
is connected there.
DR.. Tucker said he shot. thinking
the Chinese was a burglar.
The Chinese press at once began
a campaign against DR.. Tucker. a
member of the American mission
board. Feeling in Tehchow became
tense.
The Kuomintang. or Peoples
Party organization in Shantung
province demanded DR. fuckers ar
rest last week: that the United
States minister. Nelson johnson,
apologize, and that an indemnity be
paid.
Subsequently an official report
of the shooting said the Chinese
was shot while attempting to rob
the hospital safe.

MOUZAKIS HELD
WITHOUT BONDS
In DEATH CASE
Preliminary Hearing For
Accused Slayer Held Be-
fore Judge Mayfield.

Gusta Mouzakis, Greek proprietor
of coffee shop at 430 Main street.
today was ordered held without
bail for trial before the superior
court on charge Of numbering
Miriam Karagouzian, Armenian, Mon
day noon of last week in front of
the coffee shop.
Indicating their defense will be
Karagouzian had a gun or some
other deadly weapon which he
threatened Mouzakis before the
latter shot him through the heart
defense attorneys Edgar B. Hervey
and Kendall B. PerRlns this morn
ing cross-examined all states wit
nesses closely as to whether they
saw anyone take any article from
the dead mans clothing before he
was removed to the hospital.
No defense was offered at the
preliminary hearing before Judge I.
Mayfield. Perkins and Hervey con-
fined their efforts TO making testi-
mony at the preliminary hearing i
clear matter of record, probably SO
it can be used for impeachment or
comparison in the superior court
trial.
District Attorney Elmer w. Heald
took charge OF prosecution of this
case. Only seven witnesses were
called, the state presenting just
enough evidence to warrant holding
the accused for superior court trial.
Lewis Armistead, colored, was
star witness at the preliminary hear
ing. An eyewitness of the shoot
ing, he identified Mouzakis as the
man who fired six shots at Kar-
agouzian, beating him over the head
with the butt of his revolver after
it was empty. Armintead's ten
dency to give physical demonstra-
tions of various phrases of the af-
fair, rather than oral descriptions,
made him the target Of numerous
sharp questions by Hervey, who
cross-examined him.
William Ivory, cu,oieu. was anoth-
er eyewitness of the shooting. His
story was substantially the same as
that of Armistead, but not given in
such detail. Mrs. Esther Campbell,
Mrs. Fay Oliver and Mrs. Blanche
Lorenson, who were in places Of
business across the street from the
coffee shop at the time of the shoot
ing, told of the things they saw
Alex Pilibos established the death
! Of Karagouzian, and DR.. l.. c
House testified a shot through the
heart caused his death.

DOWD REVEALS
SAVINGS MADE
In SIX MONTHS

Retrenchment measures invoked
nearly a year ago by the irrigation
district have resulted in a decreased
expenditure during the first six
months of 1881 amounting to $685.
515.23, according to a verbal report
made to the irrigation district
board today by Chief Engineer M.
J. Dowd.
Dowd stated he had just received
the totals for the period and that
they showed a total expenditure by
the district of $1,184, 1899 from
January l to June 30, 1881. The
total a year ago for that period was
ST ,538, ,305.11.
This saving represents economies
in every department of the district
and in every division of each de-
partment, Dowd said. "We have
gone right down the line and cut
wherever 1t was possible to do Sc
without endangering the system OF
service"
Dowd predicted that it will be
possible to hold the advantage al
ready gained through the next 81,
months, although he pointed o,,
the proportion as compared to the
last half of last year will be les.
than the first half inasmuch as re.
trenchment measures were invoked
during the last half of 1880.
Dowd is instructed by the board
to furnish a statement giving an
analysis of the savings that have
been made and setting forth the
condition of the system generally.

THREE LEADING
OIL COMPANIES
TO BE- MERGED

SAN FRANCISCO, July 81. U.H
Consolidation of Rio Grande Oil
company, Tidewater Associated Oil
company and Sinclair Consolidated
Oil corporation is being negotiated
by Harry F.. Sinclair, chairman of
the firm bearing his name, he ad-
mitted today following his arrival
here from Del Monte, where he
conferred with William F. Hum
phreys. president of Associated.
Daniel T. Pierce, assistant to Sin
clair. admitted that negotiations
were in progress, but said that it
was too early as yet to make a
definite statement.
Such a merger would be one of
the largest petroleum consultations
in recent years, involving millions
of dollars, as the Sinclair corpora
ton is one of the leaders in the
field. ranking close to the Standard
Oil group.
Always intent upon entering the
California territory, the move would
give Sinclair valuable producing
wells in the Elwood field and dis
tribution facilities on the Pacific
coast and Hawaiian and Philippine
islands.
Although details of the plan
have not been revealed, it was re-
ported that Rio Grande and Tide
water Associated might be combined
in single unit to operate on the
Pacific coast.
Sinclair was made chairman of
the board of Rio Grande last April.
