inir from the Golden Gate to Hunter's
point and the officers of the ferryboats
and other craft were asked to Keep

cusly disappeared .from the police

ed. Up to a late hour last night the
police launch Patrol and other boats.
with searchlights, were still on the
bay. but it is feared that the body of
the late chief of police has been car
ried out to sea by the tide.
Among officials of the department
there are two theories to account for
the disappearance. A number of his
s .bordinates incline to the belief that
worry and grief over the newspaper
criticisims of his official and private
demeanor impelled him to end his life.
while others affirm with equal conn
dence that he fell from the slippery
deck during an attack of vertigo or a
fainting spell.

BIGGY ISJROWNED
San Francisco Officer Disappears
From Patrol Launch.
AUSTRIA-TURKEY AFFAIR.
PROMINENT IN GRAFT TRIALS
After Having Served A Rusf's Jailer
and Police Chief, Quarreled
With Prosecution.
San Francisco, Pec. I. William J.
Biggy, chief of police of this city, was
drowned late last night while return
ing across the buy in the police patrol
launch Patrol. Mr. Biggy had been at
Belvedere, a suburb, to call on Police
Commissioner Keil, who reside there.
He boarded the launch to return to the
city about 10 o'clock, and when the
boat was out on the bay complained of
feeling cold to Engineer Murphy, the
only other occupant of the launch. Mr.
Murphy advised him to go to the cabin
at the stern of the boat.
Mr. Murphy then went below to at
tend his engine and did not see the
chief again. He came on deck as the
boat neared the city and noticed that
the chief had disappeared. A search
of the boat failing to locate him, Mr.
Murphy made all speed to the dock,
where he reported the accident and
went out into the bay again to search
for the missing officer. Numerous
boats were hurried to the scene and a
carefut search of the bay was begun.
William J. Biggy was appointed
chief of police by Mayor Taylor after
the latter had been placed in office
upon the removal or Mayor r ..
Schmiu. Biggy succeeded Jeremiah
F. Dinan, against whom the grand jury
returned an indictment in connection
with the bribery case. When Abra
ham Buef was arrested, the prosecu
tion asked that Biggy be appointed
elisor and be given the custody ot the
prisoner, ror eight months he held
this position and at the expiration of
that time was appointed chief of po
lice in September, 1907, through the
influence of the graft prosecution.
Ever since the suicide of Morris
Haas, the man who attempted to k
Assistant District Attorney Heney and
who later took his own life at the coun
ty jail, the relations between the chief
and the graft prosecution have been
strained to the breaking point.
REBELS APPROACH CAPITAL.
President Nord Alexis Says He Will
Fight to the Last.
Port au Prince, Dec. L Every hour
brings the revolutionary army nearer
to Port au Prince, and a feeling of tm
pending disaster has taken possession
of the people. The advance guard of
General Antoine Simon's forces is now
not more than 25 or 30 miles from this
city, and the insurgents have swept all
before them.
j ne government losses at Anse a
Veau and the rout of the loyal troops
have caused consternation among the
officials of the government, with posai
bly the exception of President Nord
Alexis. Every effort to have him take
himself out of the country has proved a
failure, and the president, who has
faced revolutions before, announce his
determination to fight to the last.
Austrian Ambassador Threaten to Oo
Horn and Tension I Serious.
London, Dee. 1. A dispatch to the
Time from Const! tinople say that
the tension between Austria and Tur
key is becoming more serious. The
departure of the Austrian ambassador,
Marquis Pallavicini, will mean the
complete rupture of negotiations. It
is difficult to see how this ran be avoid

her demand for suppression of the boy

impossible, a even if the government
issued orders to that effect they would
not be obeyed.
Tho head of the guilds concerned
have told the grand viait-r that the boy.

A dispaich to the Time from Vien
