One man is dead, one dying and another seriously wounded as a result of a dramatic shooting in the crowded ferry building. when Poulos Prantikas, a fugl- tive Greek murderer, was espied by a distant relative of the vie tlm and attempted to shot his way through the crowd. Charles F. Castor, one of the oldest members of the San Fran- Cisco police department, was shot and killed. Patrolman Thos.

DEFENSE- SPRINGS A LETTER ATTOHXEV TIILTOV, IX PATTKU SON" CASK, 1XTUODITES I-KT-TEUS WKITTEX HY PATTEKSOX ADM ITTIXfl THAT HE WAS CKIEL TO HIS WIFE. Denver, Nov .27- In Mrs. Gevtrud" ! Patterson's trial on the cnarge or ' murdering her husband on; of the !most determined prosecutors Is her ; mother-in-law. The aged woman, re lentless and grim, sits back of tho state prosecutor's chair, assisting and 'advising him. And her appearance 'and attitude have had a harrowins 'effect upon the defendant. Mrs. Patterson Is pale and forn to day. The strain she underwent Sat- ' urday night and Sunday is obvloi'B. There is marked contrast between her, on trial for her life, and the el derly woman, who Is making every effort to avenge her son's death. District Attorney Elliott, who dis qualified himself in the present pros ecution testified that he was the de fendant's personal attorney, that It was he who drew up the prisoner's papers in preparation for her divorce suit against the victim of the tragedy. Elliot declared Mrs. Patterson had shown him bruises which she said she bore as the renult of her hus band's abuse. Several witnesses, caiien in ui sand. testified that they had seen Patterson knock his wife, down during a street quarrel. Robert Farnham. of Chicago, a 'brother-in-law of the defendant, tes tified that he saw Patterson buy a revolver in 1909. Farnham admitted that before he came to Denver he had dfseussfd the testimony be wa to give with Detective Hopper, who is emnloved by Emil Strouss. just before the noon recess Attor ney Hilton played his trump card, when he produced letters written by Patterson. They admitted charges of perversion and cruelties he inflicted upon his wife. .To Blockade Dardanelles. Constantinople, Xov. 27 The ministers of w ar and marine are on their way to the Darda- nelles today, following a report received here by General Chef- ket Pasha that an lnlinn fleet had been sighted in the Sea of Mormora, only a half mile from the Dardanelles. A blockade will be established there Immediately. It Is be- lieved that an engagement be- tween the Turkish and Italian fleets is Imminent. ' DESTROYS BEAUTIFUL SCENERY Great Fire at Santa Monica Is Still Beyond All Control, and Only Rain Can Put a Stop to It.

(CN.TED PUSS LEASED WIM. Santa Monica. Cal.. Nov 27. Fire which refuses to be conquered today has swept bare the natural beauty of two of Southern California's most picturesque spots Tetaescal and To pango canyons, In the Santa Monica mountains. After shearing these two natural parks of every living thing the brush fires, which have raged continuously for moro than a week, today are slow ly eating their way to Topango Tav ern. This famous old houtflry will In all probability be consumed. While ttlmates of the actual prop erty damage vary, It ms certain that the loss will exceed $1,000,000. Despite the efforts of 600 Are flght tirs, practically no headway In con quering the flames has ben made. In Calacar canyon the beautiful ranch of JosapU Anchor has been razed. An chor and several members o fhls fam llv are renorted missing, but this ru mor h?3 not been verified. Just where the fire will stop, un less Its ravages are stopped by rain, Is a matter of conjecture. Big gangs of fire fighters, recruited from Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Sawtelle and Venice, are working heroically, but the flames will not be dimled. The underbrush in the fire area is too heavy, and frequently the volunteer fire fighters have to drop thV.lr appa ratus and flee for their lives. A heavy pail of smoke hangs over all the beach towi, Including Long Reach. Ocean Park, Venice and Si'n- ta Monica. o AUSTRALIAN BOYS GIVEN FINE WELCOME The Australian boys arrived In Sa lem Saturday afternoon and were given a royal welcome, Acting Gov ernor Olcott and State Treasurer Kay being part of the reception commit tee. They saw the ball game between Salem and Albany, gave an entertain ment at the Grand in the evening, at tended the First Methodist church In a tirulv Sunday morning, and were busy as bees from the time they landed here until thty left. They were the guests of Salem boys, being taken Into the homes and made to feel that while they were on the op posite side or the globe from their homes, they were "brothers all", sons of the pioneers of the other side of the world, guests of the sons of pion eers on this. They will always re member their visit to Salem. SHATTERS Rogers Is Sullen. San Francisco, Nov, 27. All of the flippancy which marked John Rogers' first few days In Jail has vanished. Vn- dergolng the "third degree" on suspicion of having killed Ben- jamin Qoodman and of then hav- lng robbed the young Jewelry salesman of $5000 worth of dla- monds, the prisoner today came out ot the ordeal a changed man Nervousness and sullen refusals to answer any more ' questions have replaced his former attl- tude. Rogers Insists that his only participation In the crime was the receipt of the Jowels. Chem- lsta are today expected to report whether the blood found on Rogers' clothing Is the same as Goodman's, of which they have two Jars. 4 ltbaU U8 Too Mucli. Annapolis, Md., Nov. 27.

Fenwlck, the million aire lumberman, took the stand in the sensational Moore divorce suit and made sweeping denials of all charges against him by J. J. Moore, the coal magnate. Mrs. Lillian Moore, whom her husband accused him of being In timate with Fenwlck, was not pres ent. Strain on her nerves durlngt he sensational expose of life In the San Mateo mansion, has resulted In com plete collapse, and her attorneys to day asked and secured continuation of the case until Friday. Moore's cross complaint having been completed at the last session of the court, Fenwlck was called In re buttal for Mrs. Moore, who Is suing for divorce on ground of cruelty. He made unqualified denial of everything charged or Insinuated against him. During one part of his testimony he stoutly denied that Moore had or dered him out of his office. Moore, who was sitting with bin attorneys, leaped to his feet and cried: "That's a He. I did order you out, and you know It." Moore was about to continue In terrupting the witness when Judge Buck ordered him to be seat-'d. Fenwlck was not allowed to testify In' regard to his alleged familiarity with Mrs. Moore, respecting the al ready much-discussed auto ride to the A. Mon Chateau. Off the stand, however, ho denied this also Fen wlck said that be and 'Mrs. Moore did not dance about Moore's bed while Moore was 111 at the Fairmont hotel In San Francisco.
