SAN FRANCISCO IN SUSPENSE Defendant Chats and Laughs With Attorney. HENEY'S CLOSING WORDS Expiration of Time .Forces Him to Throw Away Note9 and Make Per oration Jury Returns Once for Information. SAX FRANCISCO, June 19. Eleven hour of deliberation had not sufficed for the jury in the case of Patrick' Calhoun, president of the United Railroads, to ar rive at a decision upon the issues sub mitted during his trial upon an indict ment charging; bribery. Midnight was approaching, a long after noon and evening of expectation had elapsed and the principals tn the long trial were dropping with exhaustion when Judge William P. Lawlor terminated the vigil with an order dismissing the jury for tlie night and ordering resumption of the proceedings at noon tomorrow. Audience Hurries to lied. Men and women who had sat in their places since F. J. Heney began the closing statements of his address at 9 o'clock this morning broke all records In clear ing the courtroom, after it became ap parent that the night would bring forth no verdict, and the jurors, under escort of the two Deputy Sheriffs, today sworn in as their guardians, departed for their quarters at the St. Francis Hotel. Why Calhoun Remains Free. Judge Lawlor's failure to order Calhoun Into custody when the jury retired shortly bffore noon today was -a- aubject of comment up to the hour of adjournment tonight, when, the judge said: "t have instructed the defendant's at torneys to have him in court whenever the court is In cession. I have pursued this course because I believe the pro cedure meets with all the requirements." As a precautionary measure, two police men remained on duty all night at Car penters' Hall, where the courtroom is located. Mr. Hrney. Assistant District At torney.' completed his argument at 10:30 and Judge- Iihwlor then charged the Jury and dismissed Michael Mur phy, the alternate Jiro.. The jury re tired at 12:46 P. M. and court took a recess till 3 o'clock. At 4:54 the Jury came into court and asked that the testimony of W. W. Sanderson he read. This was done and the Jury retirees again. After waiting until 6:10, Judge Lawlor excused the attorneys until 9 P. M. luy and Night of Suspense. It was a day and night of anticipation. The attorneys and spectators, when the tension of the first hour's waiting had relaxed, scattered Into groups, moving from courtroom to sidewalk and from sidewalk to courtroom. The night session was in some respects tine most trying ordeal. The auditorium was tilled before any of the principals returned, the Jurors returning to their quarters by a rear entrance that shielded them from general observation. The crowds of the daylight hours had melted way and the lamps of a dozen automo biles that stood before the hall disclosed scarcely a hundred persons who kept the vigil from the neighboring cross streets, where mounted policemen had with difficulty kept open a passageway during the earlier hours of the day. Re tainers of prosecution and defense were largely in evidence outside the building and many a futile speculation marked the evening's debate. Policemen stood In the shadows that led to the upper Concluded on Page 8.) nr. Chas. V. Rllot. Doctor, 'twont do, this list you've made Where are O. Henry and George Ade? CALHOUN HEAVY CARS CRASH; FIFTEEN ARE DEAD COLMSIOX OX TROLLEY ROAD INJURES 2 5 OTHERS. Cars Meet at Terrific Speed on Way From Automotive Races and Corpses Fill Them. CHESTERTON, Ind., June 20. Fifteen are dead and 23 Injured as a result of a wreck on the South Shore Electric Rail way, two and a half miles west of here last night. Nine bodies have been re covered and more are expected to be found in the wreckage in the tops of the wrecked cars. A westbound car was coming at high speed down a long hill and at the foot met an east mound car, also going at a terrific sneed. The. cars wer hiiHod In each other. All the victims of the ac cident lived in the vicinity. .It is estimated that at least seven bodies are still under the debris. The motorman on the westbound car, who was killed, was pinned between the two vestibules of the cars and could not be plainly seen and his position was .such as to make escape Impossible. Most of the passengers, on the east bound car were returning from the Crown Point automobile races and all were in an unusually happy mood. It is believed that the motormen of the eastbound car must have seen the on rushing westbound car, as he had thrown off his power and brought the car to a standstill before being struck. BRIDE FOND OF ELOPING? Husband of Dora Astargio Says She Has Done It Again. SACRAMENTO, Cal., June 19. (Special.) Although they eloped less than two months ago, and were wed in San Fran cisco, Mr. and Mrs, Vincent Perantozo apparently , have found married lite an unhappy state. At least Mrs. Perantozo, formerly Dora Astargio, has not been happy, for she has disappeared, and her husband says that she has run away with another man. The young people were formerly em ployes of a local candy factory. They sur prised their friends, and relatives a few weeks ago by quietly slipping away to San Francisco to wed. Now, Mrs. Peran tozo has surprised her whilom husband by quietly slipping away from him. If his theory is true, it makes two elopements in which the girl has been a factor with in two months.

Right of Way Is Only Obstacle. 70 PER CENT ALREADY SECURED Proposals Will Be Offered to Power Companies. WORK IS TO BE RUSHED Three Construction Crews Will Be Put at Work When Troubles Are Adjusted, Says J. P.. O'Brien. Maps , Believed Approved. STAT18 OF DESCHUTES ROAD. Bids for construction of a rail road Into Central Oregon may be asked by Harrlman In 30 days. Only obstacle to construction of Deschutes line lies in securing rights of way from power companies on Deschutes River. If these rights cannot be adjusted amicably, con demnation suits will be Instituted immediately by Harriman Interests. T ents or way already have been 7 secured to 70 per cent of the pro- I posed road, which will be 120 miles long and cost approximately S5.O00 -4 000. t Construction work when begun I will be pushed. At least three con- i atruction crews will be employed In building projected road. Work will t begin at both ends of the line and a I third crew will begin construction . i some midway point. A , .. Barring- unexpected delays in secur ing a continuous right of way, bids for the construction of the Deschutes line into Central Oregon will be asked by Harriman within 30 days. The only 0b6V!&UaJL prevents the immediate construction or the Central Oregon road is the adjustment of right of way ques tions with, power companies operating on the Deschutes River. The railroad company already has secured rights of way to 70 per cent of the 120 miles to be traversed by the proposed road. An early and satisfactory adjustment of pending right of way problems cov ering the remainder of the distance is believed more than probable without resorting to condemnation proceedings in the courts. This was the information announced yesterday by J. P. O'Brien, vice-president and general manager of the Harri man lines in .this territory, on his re turn from Chicago and New York, where, accompanied by W. W. Cotton general counsel for the same railroad system, he had been in conference with the company's head officials. Incident ally, during his sojourn in the Kast, Mr. O'Brien personally visited Wash ington and assisted to expedite the approval by Secretary Ballinger of the maps of survey for the road, submitted by the engineering department of the Harriman offices. 70 Per Cent Right of Way Secured. ""While we have not been officially ad vised that our maps of survey have been approved and that the Government has removed all objections, so far as it is concerned, to the construction of the Deschutes road, I assume that such is the case, judging from the published reports from Washington in yester day's papers," said Mr. O'Brien yes terday. "We have secured rights of way to 70 per cent of the 120 miles to be covered by the road. The only ob stacle confronting the immediate con struction of the railroad is the question of rights of way over property along the Deschutes River, owned by private Interests and held for the development of water power.

SIEEL MYSTERY IS DEEPER THAN EVER Father Believes Daugh ter Still Alive. SEEKS ELSIE IN WASHINGTON Police Hunt Chinamen, Report ed on Way to Panama. MOTHER NOW PROSTRATED Latest of New York Murders Is Clouded by Telegram Inscribed With Girl's Signature, Sent Saturday. NEW YORK. June 19 Until a dapper, stockily-bullt Chinese, well educated and when last seen dressed In a black suit of American cut. is under arrest and put through the police Inquisition known as the "third degree." it is likely that the murder of Elsie Sigel, Jr., granddaughter of General Franz Sigel, Civil War hero, will remain unsolved. Leon ling, alias Leon Lee Lim, alias William L Leon, alias William L. Lion, converted Mongolian, restaurant pro prietor, admirer of white women and lover of Elsie Sigel, is the man; but when or how he left New York while the girl's body lay cramped and decom posing in a battered trunk in the stuffy little room that he formerly occupied is to be learned. With him is supposed to be his companion and erstwhile roommate. Chung Sin, who alike, may be able to throw some light upon the murder. Chinaman on Ship? Reports say that both Chinamen are on their way to Vancouver, via Panama, but this rumor is only one of many. Few murder cases in New York have developed more rapidly, and at the same time have come no nearer solution, than the Sigel case. The mysterious phases of the girl's life were brought out today, her apparent craze for mission work among the Chinese, her associations with the man who is supposed to have killed her, and lastly the fact that it was on his account that she left home, Wednes day, June 9. Mother Feared Harm. It has also come out that the girl's mother, now prostrated according to re ports, and in a hospital, had been fear ful of her daughter's safety ever since the girl's disappearance, and had searched Chinatown day after day without suc cess. The mother nd Paul Sigel. the father, are hoping against hope, clinging to the evasive clue that a telegram signed E. S." was sent from Washington, D. C. on the fateful Wednesday. This mes sage read: "Will be home Sunday or soon. Don't worry." The father, as far as can be learned, hurried to Washington today to deter mine whether the telegram was sent by his daughter or as a blind. The police maintain that it was sent as a ruse by a Chinaman soon after the murder. Lon, or Lion, and Chung Sin, Investiga tion showed today, conducted four restau rants in all, one near Fort George, on the Hudson, not far from the Sigel home in the Bronx, one at Coney Island; another at Paterson, N. J. and another at Norfolk. Va. Mother Favored Oriental. Elsie Sigel's entry to the mysterious ways of the Chinese came through her mother, who was long Identified with Sunday schools and mission work in Chinatown. In this way the girl came to know various Chinamen; and when Leon, whom she met at the Fort George resort, became attentive, he was re ceived In the Sigel home and continued his associations-with the girl until his love became .violent. Then', from what can be learned, the father forbade the Chinaman to visit the bouse. It was then that Elsie, although afraid of t her admirer, deserted her (Concluded on Pago 2.) Jay Gould. -..

NEW Y0RKIS SHIVERING Mercury Descends to Record Point for June of 53 Degrees. NEW YORK. XTune 19. (Special. All records for low temperature for June 19 went to smash today, when the thermom eter went down to 53 degrees at 5 o'clock in the morning. At no time since the establishment of the local Weather Bu reau has there been such a figure on June 19. The low temperature was caused by the shifting to the northwest of the wind, bringing in an area of cold. There were snow flurries in Northern New York dur ing the night and early morning, and the cold weather affected a part of the East ern section of the country. The nearest approach to the record made today oc Curred on June 19, 1S91, when the mercury registered 59 degrees. The lowest tem perature for June in the history of the Weather Bureau was 45 degrees, on June 2, 1907. . There has been colder days than this later in the Summer, however.

REALLY NEEDS MORE, THOUGH New York Woman Issues List of Necessary Dress. THERE ARE INCIDENTALS Fearing to Be Thought Extravagant, , Defendant in Noted' Divorce Case Tells of Season's Wardrobe for Society Woman. NEW YORK, June 19. (Special.).. Mrs. Howard Could, whose matrimonial infelicities are the subject of a sensa- j tional trial, was permitted to give a . hint upon the ' witness stand of tho enormous expense and Infinite variety I of her wardrobe when she was main- j taining her position as the wife of a, j man -with- an Income of $1,000,000 a I year. ' To justify herself more fully Mrs. j Gould has prepared a statement of Items that went to make up a fashion- ' able wardrobe. When she was spend ing $40,000 a year on dress, she states: Twenty Dinner Gowns. "About a dozen morning gowns a year would be my usual needs, costing anywhere from $40 to $100 each, and I can recall ordering 22 dinner gowns In one year, though 15 or 20 would ' be my usuaf number. These would cost from $350 to as high as $800 each,' and lt must be remembered that Mrs. Howard Gould could not afford to bo seen wearing the same dinner gown two or three nights in succession. In any. event they would only be good for a season. ...... "Fifteen to 18 reception gowns, cost ing frbm $250 to $350 each, and some times more, were the usual require ments of a season. The season over, they are also "useless, except to ba given away. Two Dozen for Strec. "As for street gowns, at least 24 o( these would be necessary to carry on a through the year. Such gowns cost from $100 to $200 each, and one cannot wear the same one in the evening or afternoon, that one had worn In the morning. Half a dozen house gowns, costing as high as $350 each, would hardly be enough to see one through a season, nor would the same number of negligee gowns, worth all the way from $50 to' $170 each. "I have always had six or seven dif ferent tailored suits every season, amounting from $90 to $150, and about four riding' habits at an outlay of $600 for the four. Yachting suits come high; at least 20 was my usual complement- The serge suits average about $150 each, though the duck suits coma cheaper say, $50 apiece. "One's yachting wardrobe alone 19 a very extensive affair, and then you have the golf clothes. Also Some Furs. ; "A black caracul muff and a boa.' costs me $225, a black caracul skirt $700, and a black otter boa $125. I used all these for automobiling, besides" a $300 fur coat, a couple of fur suits' and the regulation cloth or serge suits. . These furs get shabby very quickly. "Then for every evening or dinner gown one should have a wrap to match. Never less than six of them, costing from $250 to $500 each, are needed. "The mere incidentals of lace, scarf, fans, uynbrellas, handkerchiefs, per fumes, writing fpapers, veils, toilet ar- tides, and the infinite number of dainty j articles, cannot even be guessed at In! number or expense.
