THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER, 13, 190G. DEATH COMES TO SHftFTER'S RELIEF Pneumonia Proves Fatal to General of Cuban Campaign. COLD CAUGHT AT ELECTION Doctors Decide Operation Would Be Fatal 'and Leave Brave Veteran to Fight Losing Battle. Career In 'Two Wars. BAKERSFIELD, Cal.. Nov. 12. Major General William Rufus Shatter. United States Army, retired, died at 13:42 P. AI. today at the ranch of Captain V. H. Mc Kittrick, hie son-in-law, 20 miles Bouth of this city, after an Illness of seven days, despite the best medical attention in Cal ifornia. While returning from the polls last Tuesday, he contracted a severe chill, which .augmented a slight Indisposition and necessitated confinement to his bed. Br. T. W. Mitchell, the local family phy sician, was at once summoned. The pa tient failed to improve, and Dr. A. Scha fer was called for consultation. Intestinal obstruction was discovered, but It was determined that this was a secondary affliction brought on by an acute attack of pneumonia. Doctors' Efforts Vain. Wednesday and Thursday no Improve ment was noticed and Friday afternoon Dr. M. H. Herzstein, of San Francisco, was communicated with, but as he was unable to depart at once. Dr. I. W. Thome was despatched In Dr. Herz stein's place. Dr. Thome arrived early Saturday morning and, together with the local physicians, diligently watched the patient all that day. In the afternoon a Flight rally was detected and ' relatives and physicians were extremely hopeful, but the change was short-lived. At 10 o'clock a sinking spell seized the veteran. Dr. Herzstein arrived shortly after midnight Saturday night and a consulta tion was held with the other physicians Jn attendance. It is stated that Dr. Herzstein deemed an operation the only means of relief from the intestinal ob struction, but the condition of the pa tient would forecast nothing but fatal results in such an attempt. Dr. Herzstein, accompanied by Dr. Thorne, returned to San Francisco, all hope of saving the gallant war hero Slaving been abandoned. Hope of Kccovery Given Up. The patient was left in charge of Dr. Mitchell and the battle against desperate odds continued. Through It all the vet eran bore up bravely. Always cheerful and hopeful, his mind clear and cognizant of his critical condition, the patient re mained conscious until 9 o'clock this morning. Pure oxygen sent from San Francisco performed a great work in keeping life up, but after midnight and early this morning a constant weaken ing was discerned. Dr. Mitchell and the trained nurses labored untiringly, but the General lapsed into unconsciousness t 9 o'clock and remained in that condi tion until death. Captain and Mrs. W. II. McKittrick, the General's son-in-law and daughter. Miss Carrie Redmond, a niece, and Mrs. Courtright and James N. Shatter, a brother, were at the bedside when the end came. Will Have Military Funeral. The body of Major-General Shafter will leave this city on Wednesday evening at 7:30 on the Santa Fe California Limited train and, upon arrival at Point Rich mond the next morning, will be placed aboard a Government tug and escorted by military officers to the Presidio at San Francisco. Interment will be had in the post cemetery immediately after arrival, with full military honors. The body will rest at the McKittrick ranch until Wednesday evening. William Rufus Shafter was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan, October 16, 1835. His father was a pioneer farmer, and gave the boy as good an education as the limited facilities of the frontier town would afford. Young Shafter took up the calling of farmer, and taught school during the Winter months. At the breaking out of the Civil War lie enlisted in the Seventh Michigan Infantry, and was elected a Hpcond Lieutenant. In 1862 he was chosen Major of the Nineteenth Michigan, and in lb63 he was promoted Lieutenant Colonel. In April, 1864, he was honor ably discharged, his term of service having expired. On the following; day he received a commission as Colonel in the Regular Army, and was assigned to Hhe command of the. Seventeenth Infan try, and in IStiti, the war having ended, he was breveted Brigadier-General upon his discharge. He again entered the service in 1867, being commissioned Lieutenant-Colonel of the Forty-first Infantry. During- the Civil War Colonel Shafter took part, among others, in the battles of Fair Oaks, Savage Station, Glendale, Malvern Hill and in the Southwest at Thompson Station. After the battle of Fair Oaks he was breveted "for gallant and meritorious service." In 1879, when in command of the famous First In fantry, Colonel Shafter became famous as an Indian-fighter. The outbreak of the Spanish War found General Shafter, now a brigadier. In command of the Department of Cal ifornia with headquarters at San Fran cisco. He was ordered to Washington nnd put in command of the army sent to occupy Cuba, having under him such noted division commanders as Lawton, Wheeler, Hates, Lee and Kent, and Colonel Roosevelt with the Rough Riders. Ho was In chief command of the nrmy which fought the victorious bat tles of Guasimas, San Juan Hill and F.I Caney, and to him the Spanish garri son at Santiago finally surrendered on July 3, the day when the naval battle of Santiago was fought. After the sur render he returned with the troops to Montana Point, N. Y., where he only remained ten days, as he was placed In command of the Department of the Fast. In 1899 he returned to San Francisco, where he remained in com mand until his retirement as Major General in 1901. General Shafter owned the ranch in 'Kern County, California, where he died, and was much interested in fruit cul ture and cattle-raising. The station on the Santa Fe Railroad at his ranch bore his name, and quite a village Is building up, a suburb of Bakersfield, the county seat. The General was a frequent visitor to San Francisco, where he was prominent in social and business circles, a member of several clubs, notably the Union League. General Shatter was a man of huge physique, and was frequently Indis posed in health. On several occasions he became so ill that his death was re ported, and during the Cuban campaign he was prostrated, but through his in riomltablo -will power so far over- 1 came his malady that he was able to direct his army, sometimes from a cot from which he was unable to rise. He was a notable figure at Grand Army reunions, and was always hailed by the members of his former commands as a hero of two wars. $1,000,000 FORTHE JETTY General Mackenzie Proposes Liberal Oregon Appropriations.

These offers were rejected, and Secretary Shaw stat ed that no more silver would be bought at present high prices.

Gratifying progress, according to the members, was made at the meetings today of the com mittees representing the American Bank ers Association and the New York mem bers of Congress who gathered here to endeavor to agree on a measure for the consideration of Congress giving author ity to banks to issue emergency circula tion in cases of financial stringency. The meetings were presided over by President A. B. Hepburn of the Chase National Bank of New York City, chairman of the bankers'- committee. and James R. Branch of New York acted as secretary Secretary Shaw, Controller of the Cur rency Ridgely and United States Treas urer Treat were present a portion of the afternoon session and each of them ad dressed the members. Without com mitting himself to -any one plan, Mr. Shaw told the bankers of his desire for some reform in currency legislation which, when put into practical opera tion, will meet all the legitimate demands of trade. Two plans are being considered by the bankers: One, proposed by the bankers' committee, which contemplates the ap pointment of a nonpartisan commission of seven members of whom the Controller of the Currency shall be one, to pass on all applications by banks for permis sion to increase their circulation: and the other, advanced by the Chamber of Commerce of New York, proposing to make the Issue of credit currency auto matic. Both plans have been discussed very thoroughly by the banking public. Today Frank A. Vanderlip and Charles A. Conant, the representative of the New York Chamber of Commerce, explained in detail the scheme advocated by the Chamber, the motives which Impelled the members to advance it for consideration and the good results which they believed would follow its adoption. Following the presentation of this plan there was a general discussion of various motions set ting out in principle the views of the members introducing them as to what should be recommended to Congress to secure the reforms desired. Votes were taken on the various pro positions and the results, it is said, dis closed general agreement of opinion on the principles there declared for, which gives hope to the members that some form of recommendation to Congress may be reached at the present sessions of the committees. The sessions of the com mittees are In secret and neither the text of the resolutions nor the results of the votes on them were made public. The meeting adjourned at 6 o'clock until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning." mittee in relation to standard forms of policies and standard provisions for pol icies will favor the' tandrdization, al though the American Life Convention adopted a resolution opposing it. It was expected that the report would favor lim iting investments of insurance companies to bonds of the United States, or of any county, city or town or duly organized school district; to loan upon improved unencumbered real estate " to an extent not exceeding 30 per cent of the value of the property. It was planned that the report of the committee shall be followed by the intro duction of laws regulating insurance com panies, which will take the place of the Ames bill which was dropped some time ago.
