IN COMPANY WITH HOBOS
Former College Man Say He Lost
HIs Money In a Poker Game
and AVas Tramplnj for
Experience.
MODESTO. Cal.. Dec S.-(SpecIaL)-nalph
W. Rose, the Healdeburg giant and
wlnnor of the world' record In putting
the 16-pound shot 51 feet 7 Inches, at the
St. Louln Fair, is in Jail in this city, pend
ing examination of a looted freight car
by tne Southern Pacific Company. Rose
and three hoboes were arrested at New
man, in this county, yesterday, by Con
fctable Newsome.
Tho men entered a loaded freight car
with tht intention of beating their way
ou: of town. They were seen by a brake
niHii. who entered the car with an officer
a.id arrested the four men. They were
taken before a Justice of the Peace, and
the' three hoboes were sentenced to serve
60 day.-? In the County Jail for vagrancy,
lioso demanded a Jury trial, stating that
It had never seen the hoboes before, and
that nothing was taken from the car.
Tne Justice ordered that Rose be held in
jail nunding an Investigation, and Axed
the trial 60 days hence. Rose's ball was
fixed at $30 cash, and remains unpaid.
When seon in jail this morning by your
correspondent. Rose said:
"I'll tell no newspaper man anything
about it. 1 did not do anything, and they
ran't hold inc here. I don't want any
thing to set Into print about this, as it
will be copied In the East, and will hurt
my chances of going back to the athletic
field for any college."
When pressed, however. Rose told the
following story:
"My father owns a farm near Modesto,
and I was coming down from the north
to work on It. I took the train for New
man and paid my way there and got off.
As I was walking down.the track between
the train 1 KOt off and a freight train, an
officer nabbed me. I told him I had paid
my fure. He took me before a Magis
trate, who told me to get out of town
right away, and told me to get on a
freight train and go.
"I climbed in a sealed car and found
three hoboes there. Shortly after the
orakemun came with an officer and pulled
all of ui. We took nothing from the car,
and 1 am only here waiting for the rail
rood to llnd everything all right. They
can't keop me here without a trial mucn
lonscr." "
When asked by a reporter why he did
not pay his fare to Modesto. .Rose said he
had started with money, but lost it in a
poker game. Later, he said that he was
tramping for experience, and wanted to
get matter for magazine articles regard
ing hobo life. Asked about his experience
In Seattle, where the giant cleaned out a
dozen of the men In a saloon fight.. Rose
was reticent, and refused to speak. He
j-ayj. he Is going out on his father's farm
to work when he gets out of Jail.
.1. W. Hawkins, an attorney of this city,
and a chum of Rose at the University of
Michigan, says that. If Rose's trial" has
been postponed 60 days, ho will take legal
measures to have the athlete liberated.
Rose Is. despondent over his arrest, and
begged that nothing be published for fear
of injuring his chances in the East. The
Healdsburg boy says he is sick and has
lost 10 pounds in a few weeks. He says
he Is going to retire from athletics until
his reputation becomes more savory, and
he will then return to some Eastern col
lege, which one he cannot yet tell.
ONLY HOUSE AUTHORIZED.
Idaho Senate Did Not Concur In Ap
pointment of Smelling Committee, j
BOISE. Idaho. Dec. 9. (Special.)-In re
sponse to the request of the members of
the legislative committee named last Win
ter to Investigate the condition of the dif
ferent National land grants in Idaho. At
lorney - General Guhcen today handed
down a written opinion giving his reasons
for his decision that the committee had
no legal existence after the adimimmpnt
of the Legislature, and that the appro- I
pnauon or ouw lor tne expenses or their
Investigation was not available. He points
out that the House was the only body au
thorizing the appointment of the commit
tee, the members of which recently met
In Boise to pursue the investigation, and
soys the records of the Senate, which Is a
oo-ordlnate branch of the House, contains
no mention of such a committee nor does
it reveal any knowledge whatever of its
existence.
"When the Senate passed House bill
305." ays the Attorney-General, "there
was nothing that would lead the Senate
to infer that tills appropriation was avail
able for any committee or any individuals
other than the board. I believe If the
Senate had so understood they would have
agreed for representation of that com
mittee." On another phase of the -subject the
opinion says: "When the House adjourned
wine die. its powers ceased to exist. There
Is no act of the Legislature which ex
pressly or by inference designates your
committee to proceed in any Investiga
tion" A number of discrepancies between the
House resolution authorizing the commit
tee to investigate and the enactment ot
hath branches providing funds for an In
vestigation are pointed out to reinforce
the argument that there was no connec
tion between the two.

ID OF I ROMANCE
Eugene R. Day, Idaho Million
aire, Sued for Divorce.
MARRIED LAST JANUARY
Pretty Schoolteacher Was the Recipi
ent er the Most Dcvetcd At
tention Before Site Be
came a Bride.
WALLACE. Idaho. Dee. S. (Special.)
In the suit for divorce of Mrs. Agnes
Loretta Day from her husband. Eugene
R. Day. one of the wealthiest and most
Influential mining men of Northern Idaho,
the fabric of a pretty romance has been
shattered. Mr. and Mrs. Day were mar
ried at MulUn In January ot this year
and have resided In Wallace since.
Before the marriage Mr. Day was
famed for his devotion to the pretty and
attractive school teacher who later be-,
came his wife. Her slightest wish was
gratified, and it was predicted by all that
their married life would be one of hap
piness and bliss. Mr, Day created a sen
sation Just before they were married by
sending a special train from Spokane
for her when ahe waa 111 with pneumonia
to take her to a hospital.
The plaintiff alleges cruel. Inhuman and
Indecent treatment, which began at Port
land while they were on their bridal tour
and did not end until he deserted her In
Wallace In July. She alleges that he
was unkind, cruel, unjust, sullen and
tyrannical, and says .be Is guilty of In
delicate apts.
She alleges that he Is worth nearly
31,630.(00, which Includes a three-quarters
interest in the Hercules mine, and that
he has an annual Income of J75.0CO. She
wants $10,000 to meet the expenses trans
acted through her suit In divorce, a di
vision of the property, half of the defend
ant's Income and a temporary alimony.
She asks that a receiver be appointed
and that her maiden name. Miss Agnes
Tu. Quinlan. be restored to her.
PROUD DAY FOR IDAHO
(Continued From race t
belief of naval officerp that the vitals of
a warship should be protected with very
heavy armor. Accordingly a belt of
nickel-plated steel IS Inches In thickness
was placed on either side of that ship to
protect l)f engines, magazines and other
vita! parti from the shot from an ene
my's ship or fortification. Experience ha?
demonstrated that leap armor Is ample
for all practical purpose, and today a
nine-Inch belt Is considered adequate pro
tection. Well Shielded With Armor.
The hull of the Idaho will be protected
at the water-line by a complete belt of
armor nine feet three Inches wide and of
a uniform thickness of nine inches for
about ZH feet amidships. Toward either
end of the vessel the belt Is reduced In
width and the thickness Is gradually de
creased to four Inches at the stem and
stern. Triangular athwartshlp armor In
wake of the water-line belt Is njven
Inches uniform thickness.
Above the main belt of armor is what is
known as the casement armor, seven
Inches in thickness, which protect the
seven-Inch suns mounted along the main
deck. The three-Inch gun? are protected
by two-Inrh shields of nickel steel.
The two turretp. In which the 12-Inch
guns are mounted, will liave a front plate
of It-Inch armor plate, and will be pro
tected In the rear and on either ride by
eight Inches of steel. The top of the tur
rets will be two and one-half Inches thick.
The 12-Inch barbettes will be of ten-Inch
armor plate In front and seven and one
half Inches In the rear. The eight-Inch
barbettes will be six Inches thick In front
and sides and four Inches In the rear.
The turret containing eight-Inch guns
will have alx and one-half inches of ar
mor plate In front and rear plate? of six
inches. Like other vessels of her type,
the Idaho will have her conning towe:
protected by a nine-Inch belt of armor.
Her torpedo stations will be protected by
two and one-half Inches of armor through
out. There Is a complete protective deck ex
tending from stem to stern, built of 20
pound plating.
The magazines and shell-rooms are so
arranged that about one-half the total
supply of ammunition will be carried at
each end of the ehlp. Air spaces are pro
vided between the magazines and all
heated compartment!, to remove the dan
ger of explosions from combustion.
The shells of the large rifles of the
Idaho and the charges of powder are too
heavy to be handled by hand. Electricity
Is called Into play, and will be employed
In lifting shells and ammunition from
the magazines to the turrets, where It
will be loaded Into the guns. The.e
hoists can elevate seven plecen a minute,
which 1b much farter than tha guns can
te discharged. It will bo necessary to In
stall trolleys and tracks In the ammunl.
tlon-rooms for handling the seven-, clght
and twelve-Inch shells and carrying them
from storage to the hoists.
Speed Greater Than Oregon's.
To the popular mind., the armament of
a battleship la Its most Important fea
ture: to a naval officer. Its propelling
machinery ! quite as Important. A bat
tleship that cannot navigate Is as. use
less In a fight as a ship without armor.
Care has been taken to equip the Idaho
with machinery which will meet every re
quirement, and develop a speed of 17
knots an hour, which Is greater speed
than was developed by the Oregon on her
trial.
The Idaho's engines will be of the ver
tical, twln-oirew. three-cylinder, triple,
expansion type, of a combined horse
power of 1Q.038. Each engine will be lo
cated In a separate water-tight compart
ment, so that In case one Is damaged the
other can still furnish the necersarj pow
er to keep the vessel In motion.
It requires an immense amount of steam
to supply the engines of a battleship.
The Idaho will have eight water-tube
boilers, placed in four water-tight com
partraentR It Is going to require large
quantities of coal to feed these boilers,
for they will have nearly SCO square feet
of grate surface, and over 3Q.G3) square
feet of water-heating surface. The work.
Isg pressure will be 9CS pounds.
Protruding above decks will be two Im
mense funntls leading from the bowels of
the ship. These funnels, or smokestacks.
will be lw feet In height, measured from
vheir base.
AH Manner or Machinery.
But the propelling machinery does not
by any means complete the mechanical
equipment of the Idaho. She Is to have
a steering engine, windlass engine, ash
holst engines for each fire room, forced,
draftblowers for her boilers, a dense-atr
lea plant capable of making three tons of
Ice a day. an evaporating p.ant with a
capacity ot 36.WD gallons of water a day.
The vessel Is to be heated with steam
throughout. Like, other modem war
shtpe. the Idaho will bo lighted with elec
tricity, having a large generating plant,
acd electricity will enter into her steer
ing and other apearatus.
It la a fact, overlooked by man)-, that
every Mg warship carries on her decks
a tm4atsre Hoot for various uses. It cJ
be so wKh the Idaho. She will carry K
tH boats and foar JU rafAt. The
largest of them will be two 49-foot steam
cutters. In addition there will be two
33-fool sailing launches, four Stwfoot cut
ters, three SVfoo twbaleboats. two 2S-foot
cutters, one 30-foot gig whaleboat. and
two 20-foot dingeys, together with the
j four ilfcrafts.
inc uovernment spares no pains in
making adequate accommodation for the
officers and men on the big battleships.
Magnificent quarters will be provided for
the Idaho's officers, accommodation being
made for a commanding officer) IS ward
room officers, nine Junior officers, nine
warrant officers, and a crew of tS men.
Inludlng G) marines. Provision will be
made for carrying not less than three
months allowance of provisions and sir
months allowance of clothing and small
stores.
The fact should -not be overlooked that
the Idaho will be equipped with wireless
telegraphy, so that she may communicate
with other ships, and with the Govern
ment stations along the coast.
LcS Than Hair Finished.
The battleship .Idaho Is la competent
hands. The Cramps are old-experienced
bonders of warships, having turned out
the battleships Alabama. Indiana. Iowa.
Maine, Massachusetts and numerous
cruisers, besides building at this time the
Mississippi, which Is slightly in ndvnnco
or the Idaho In point of construction.
The launching takes place at a com
paratively early stage, the -Idaho blng
les than half completed, hut her build
ers did not care to postpone the launching
until Spring, and therefore fixed the date
early In December. Because of Ice In
the river, it Is deemed unwise to launch
vessels during the Winter months, and
by Soring It would be too late. That is
why December 9 was decided upon.
When a battleship or cruiser Is named
after a state. It Is customary for the peo
ple of that state to present the ship with
a silver service or a memorial tablet.
The silver service Is preferred, being both
practical and ornamental. Such service
Is paid for by'pooular subscription, and
is presented after the ship goes Into com
mission, and Is In the hands of the Navy.
It will therefore not be Incumbent upon
the people of Idaho to make their presen
tation until the early Summer of IM7.
This gives ample time for the collection
of funds, and the manufacture of a ser
vice that will be a credit to the ship and
to the state.
Designed hy Best Talent.
No steps will be taken toward the se
lection of officers and a crew for the Idaho
until she Is about ready for acceptance.
Before that time she must go through her
trial tests, both by the builders and by
the Government, to demonstrate her speed
and general seaworthiness. There has
never been any question about the seagoing
qualities of an American battleship. They
are all designed by naval officers, and the
plans aro approved by the Secretary of
the Navy before contracts are awarded.
This plan has brought Int play tfie best
knowledge of the naval experts of tho
United Slate, and our nval officers are
second to none when It comes to design
ing and managing -warships.
The Idaho as she stands today Is far
from a finished warship. In reality she
Is an Immense hull, wiih -no filllm; save
some of her enormous boilers, which had
to be Installed before her decks were put
In place. She has every appearance of
an unflnlshd craft; her decks are bare:
her upper works are merely outlined:
above the water line nothing Is finished.
But the foundation for the finished ship
Is here: her frame Is completed; part of
her armor Is In place; her decks have
been finished, all save the wooden floor
ing, but none of her Interior work has
been completed; none of her cabins fin
ished: her bridges, her pilot-house, her
fnglnes. and her arms are yet bo sup
plied, and It will require nearly a year
and a half to convert the present unsight
ly hull Into a finished, neat and attractive
battleship. H. J. B.

known. A peculiar phase is that fire
broke out in two places almost simul
taneously at the top of Jjcho Mountain
and also clear down at the bottom.
The Arc started early this morning, Ju3t
after daybreak, at the foot of the trail
t where the Pacific Electrlc's Mount Lowe
i line enters Rublo Canyon. It swept with
lightning rapidity up the face of the
huge buttress which comprises Echo
Mountain, and enveloped the row of build
ings that lined the edge of the bluff.
The powerhouse that serves the Incline
railway, the Mount Lowe extension anil
the famous searchlight, was first, des
troyed. The building and all the valu
able machinery that It contained are a
total loss. The Casino and the railway
company's hotel, which were located
about 200 feet apart, caught fire about
the same time.
Long before flame. readied the set
tlement the small handful of persuns
who live there constantly had given
up all efforts to resist their onrush,
and had fled for safety into the hills.
Meanwhile the Are had reached the
I car-barns, which were also consumed
In a tew minutes. The flumes passed
on across the high plateau on which
the . Echo Mountain settlement stood,
toward the observatory, located a short
distance above Echo Mountain on the
side of the hill. Here a number of the
men who had been driven out below
were making- strenuous efforts to di
vert the course of the flames, so as
to cause them to pass on around the
building. Up to the noon hour, their
efforts were successful, but a slight
change in the wind, which before that
time had been blowing from the moun
tain toward the valley, swept the flames
back toward the observatory and again
threatened it-
At 1? o'clock the fire had mounted to
the first line of timber and entered the
belt of pine trees on the higher range.
The wind, fanning the flames was car
rying them op toward Alpine Tavern,
where the hotel employes were making
preparations to defend the building.
The lcctrlc power lines were put
out of commission apd ail telephone
lines destroyed, cutting off all commu
nication from below. Employes of the
t street-car comrany. which practically
owns all the property on Echo Moun
tain and Mount Lowe, were sent to the
foot of the mountains, with orders to
ascend by. the trail and fight the fire.
On their urrlval at the mouth of Rubio
Canyon, where the trail starts, they
found the Are ntlil burning. o fiercely
as to make the ascent impossible, and
they were held back until It had did
down. Then there was little left uboye
to save.
From every part of Pasadena and
from the north section of Los Angeles,
the progress of the flames easily could
be observed and thousands of persons,
equipped with long-range glasses,, saw
the destruction of the buildings and
witnessed the efforts of the Inhabitants
of the settlement to save the property.
Tim buildings destroyed were erected
at great expense and the raising of the
heavy power-house machinery to tho
top of the incline cost a small fortune.

What Sulphur Does
Tor the Human Body in Health and
Disease.
j The mention of sulphur will recall to
many or us the early days when our
mothers an3 grandmothers gave us our
dally doso of sulphur and molasses every
Spring and Fall.
It was the universal Spring and Fall
"blood purifier." tonic and cure-all. and
mind you, this old-fashioned remedy was
not without merit.
The Idea was good, but the remedy was
crude and unpalatable, and a large quan
tity had to be' taken to get any effect.
Nowadays we get all the beneficial
effects of sulphur In a. palatable, concen
trated form, so that a single grain is far
more effective than a tablespoonful of
the crude sulphur.
In recent years, research and experi
ment have proven that the best sulphur
for mediciuai use Is that obtained from.
Calcium (Calcium Sulphide) and sold in
dni?tores under the name tof Stuart's
Calcium Wafers. They are small choco
late coated pellets and contain the active
medicinal principle of sulphur In a highly
concentrated, effective fprm.
Few people are aware of the value of
this form of sulphur in restoring and
maintaining bodily vigor and health: sul
phur acts directly on the liver, and ex
cretory organs and purifies and enriches
the blood by the prompt elimination of
waste material
Our grandmothers knew this when they
dosid us with sulphur and molasses every
Spring and Fall, but the crudity and Im
purity of ordinary flowers of sulphur were
often worsM than' the disease, and cannot
compare wltn the modern concentrated
preparations of sulphur, of which Stuart's
Calcium Wafers Is undoubtedly .the best
and most widely used.
They are the natural antidote for liver
and kidney troubles, and cure constipa
tion and purity the blood In a way that
often surprises patient and physician
alike.
Dr. R. 31. Wllklns. while experimenting
j with sulphur remedies, soon found that
me suipijur uum Milium was superior
to any other form. He says: "For liver,
kidney and blood troubles, especially
when resulting from constipation or ma
laria, I have been surprised at the results
obtained from Stuart's Calcium Wafers.
In patients suffering from bolls and pim
ples and even deep-seated carbuncles. I
have repeatedly seen them dry up and
disappear In four or five days, leaving
the skin- clear and smooth. Although
Stuart's Calcium Wafers Is a proprietary
article, and sold by druggists, and for
that reason tabooed by many physicians,
yet I know of nothing so safe and reliable
for coaatipatlon. liver and kidney trou
bles and especially ia all forms of akin
disease as this remedy."
At any rate people who arc tired of
pills, cathartics and se-caHed Mood "puri
fiers," will Had la Stuart's Calcium "Waf
ers a far safer, more palatable a ad effec-
tlve yreyaraUes.
