NEWPORT. R. I., July 15. (Special.)
everal prominent society mesdames
nave In a large measure turned New
port Into a veritable American Monte
Carlo through the "harmless" game of
bridge whist. The game has been played
strongly among the women since 1903, but
club life for the sport has been an event
only of last and this season. Many of
the young ladles have bought automo
biles and other necessaries out of their
bridge winnings, and while nearly every
one In these games can afford to lose,
at the same time the highest sort of in
come can be crippled In time by this
most harmless-looking shuffle of cards.
At one sitting a few seasons ago the
game cost a cottager $40,000.
Play Under Canfleld Rules.
Last season Mrs. Oliver H. P. Belmont,
Mrs. fituyvesant Fish and Mrs. Charles
B. Hlllhouse decided to form a club for
bridge playing, with club rules a la Can
field, and some styled the pretty little
log cabin bungalow which these ladles
leased as a suitable site on Ocean ave
nue, 300 feet south of the landing place
of the Gooseberry. Island Fishing Club,
well known as the fishing club of the
550, as "Canfleld's-by-the-Sea." This sea
son Mrs. Belmont arranged with James
Gordon Bennett for the loan of his stone
villa, directly opposite the Casino.
Stone villa, daily and nightly, is now
the scene of . much gaiety and much
Jingle, and the large owls on the gate
posts at night can see it all.
Drive Away the Cabbies. ,
There is but one blot on the scene.
Mr. Bennett, always popular with the
local residents, never protested against
cabbies lining up in, front of his villa,
nor prohibiting tourists from sitting on
his low stone wall to watch the driving
and other sights. Xow Mrs. Belmont,
Mrs. Oelrlchs, Mrs. Fish. Mrs. Hlllhouse
and others have ordered the cabbies to
seek vantage grounds elsewhere, much
to their financial loss, until after the
bridge season.'
In view of Mr. Bennett's kindness to
the ladles. It seems not quite right to
him to drive away onlookers and the
cabbies' privilege from the Bennett
club, as it has been styled for the
.present.
Under the direction of Mrs. Belmont
every window on the front of Stone villa
was furnished with a bright red awning.
SEE NO SUN FOR 48 HOURS
Volcanic Kruptlon Darkens Sky Over
Kamchatka Peninsula.
BAN FRANCISCO, July 15. The out
burst of a volcano on the peninsula 6t
Kamchatka, ,on February 18 last, threw
the whole country Into utter darkness for
more than 48 hours, and resulted In the
starving of scores of natives, according
to the officers of the barkentine S. N.
Castle, which reached port, last evening
direct from the Okhotsk Sea.
The natives, some of whom could speak
English, told Captain Pedersen and his
men that they had no knowledge of the
source of the terrible storm that had
come upon them. They knew only that
while they were crossing the valleys in
the first flush of Spring, a wave of dust
fell upon them, followed by utter dark
ness that continued for two days and
nights. Lava, almost hot, fell all about
them, and there were such Bhowers of
black ashes that their progress was
stayed, and they were lucky to find un
drled creeks and springs. But the party
of natives was in dire straits and some
of them had succumbed to their hard
ships. In response to their request. Captain
Pedersen sent off two boatloads of pro
visions, which the suffering natives said
would suffice to keep them on the way to
Petropalovsk.
FACE DEATH0N TILAM00K
(Continued from First Pane.)
neuvers were . held today, the men being
occupied in getting their camp equipage
ready for shipment to the Armory at
Portland. The regular artillerymen will
continue war drills for 20 days more.
The seven guard companies, A C, K,
B and M of the Third Infantry and A
and C of the First Separate Battalion
are practically assured of service at these
fortifications In event of war. On coming
here the majority of the men had an Idea
that Coast artillery work would be dull,
heavy and uninteresting. Many of the
guardsmen said that in case of war they
would be willing to go to the front, as
Infantry volunteers would not consent to
spending their time in an artillery gar
rison. Attracted by Danger.
Their view of the matter has changed
upon becoming Impressed with the im
portance of this branch of the service.
The danger on an Infantry skirmish line
is not greater than that of coast artil
lery service should a fleet engage the
batteries. The enemy's navy is not apt
to be idle while the coast guns are busy.
A well-directed shell may clip the top off
a primary station or land in the pit
of a 10-inch rifle or behind a mortar em
placement at a moment. And it is the
idea of actual service and danger that,
peculiarly enough, appeals to the temper
ment of the class of man that responds
to a call to war.
The Second Oregon infantry demon
strated the character of the guard as
a whole. No regiment in the Philippine
Island campaign made a finer record than
did the Second Oregon and the whole
regiment went from the guard service,
the cowards and stay-at-homes being
fewer than ten to each company, which
deficiency was easily filled in with new
and better material.
That the artillery maneuvers have
passed off without mishap is a matter for
felicitation. At the 'Washington state
maneuvers one man had his head blown
off while feeding powder to an over
heated rifle. Such accidents are liable
to occur at any time, but by extreme
vigilance and care the troops have
managed to avoid mishap of any sort.
Will Strike Tents Today.
At Camp Everett near Seaside, the
Third Oregon Infantry camp, tents will
be struck tomorrow afternoon and . the
return made to Portland. The men are
being paid today, officers receiving state
allowance and the enlisted men getting
regular Army rates.
Drills and routine duties will be kept
up to the last. Battalion drills were held
this forenoon, Majors Baker and Dunbar
exercising their battalions in extended
order work. The camp has been success
ful in every way and has placed the
regiment on a more effective footing. The
command is rated high among the guard
regiments of the country and in case of
need Is prepared to take the field on
very short notice. '
In organization and discipline the Third
takes rank with not a few regular Army
regiments. Another element in the effec
tiveness of the regimental is the number
of experienced Officers, the majority of
them having served through the campaign
In the Philippines with ' volunteer or
regular reg.ments as officers or enlisteed
men.
Anxious to See Real War.
The regiment Is taking a keen interest
in the war rumors and while professing
to hope that hostilities will not occur,
are anxious to take the field In event of
trouble. The command would go pretty
near Intact, ' should a call be made.
Yellow streaks, of course, would develop
here and there as they do In the regular
Army when war come. Regulars lose
many of their men by desertion the
hour war is declared. The guard loses
part of its force by the unwillingness of
Borne men to engage in anything more
hazardous than dress parade or com
pany drill. This . percentage is very
small, however, as demonstrated during
the Spanish-American War. Substantial
ly all the officers would go and the places
of enlisted men who dropped out could
be filled In two hours.

Bishop Thomas Bowman, of M. E.
Church, Who Celebrated Hi 90th
Birthday Yesterday.
NEW YORK. July is! The Right
Rev. Dr. Thomas Bowman, senior
bishop of the Methodist Episcopal
denomination, who lives In Orange,
N. J., celebrated his 90th birthday
today. Bishop Bowman has the dis
tinction of having live longer than .
any other Methodist bishop. He Is
well preserved and Is almost daily
seen on the streets of Orange. He
has traveled around the world twice
and has officiated at religious gath
erings In Mexico, Europe, India, Chi
na and Japan, and has dedicated more
than 1000 churches. He retired from
active work six years ago.
advocated by that distinguished lawyer and
learned philosopher C E. S. Wood. Believ
ing, however, that truth always prevails,
and trusting to it to sustain my conten
tion, I deny that in the ultimate destiny of
humanity the individual is nothing, the
rare is everything.
What is . the race? It Is nothing more
than an aggregate number of Individuals,
which worms the foundation for Individual
endeavor and accomplishments, existing,
striving, struggling largely for no other ob
Joct than sustenance. In a way, it per
petuates itself, and. apart from this, it has
never amounted to anything as a race has
left no Indelible marks upon the tablets
of time, except the scars of war, the ruins
of devastation and a record here and there
of pillage, piracy and plunder.
As a race, there has been no common ten
dencies for the higher objects and ethics of
life. The history of each race is replete
with selfish desire and a burning ambi
tion to usurp authority and segregate
wealth and luxuries and even necessities at
the expense of others and to their detriment
and regardless of their rights or their sac
rifices. The birth of civil history was bap
tised in the -carnage of such a struggle be
tween Egypt and Mesopotamia. But for the
Individual efforts of our great individuals
our judges, jurists, advocates, philoso
phers, statesmen- the races today would be
contending and in conflict for the author
ity, dominion and plunder that phantasy
whose bloody finger-prints appear upon ea.cn
page of ancient and mediaeval history.
Progress Is marked by the individuality
of the few not by the unltyof the many.
Where the race has arisen In the higher
things of life will be found some Individual
member of that race, standing like Her
cules, stemming the tide of public sentiment
or popular custom or natural intuition. The
race has always ruled by authority; the
Individual by reason. Human authority
has never been perpetuated; reason and
wisdom lives on through the centuries. The
individual crucifixion of Christ upon the
cross stemmed the flood of tdolatrism and
turned the races back upon the higher path
way of the Christian era. The Insatiable
desire of the Roman for plunder and pill
age was checked by tjie individual efforts
of Justinian In the collection and codifica
tion of the civil law. The piracies of the
races were wiped from the bosom of the
seas when Grotlus by his Individual ef
forts gave the world a law of nations.
Slavery met Its Waterloo, not In our own
country alone, but throughout Christendom
when Lincoln's personal efforts forced upon
the races his immortal wisdom that a
traffic In humanity was a violation of the
laws of Ood and repugnant to the higher
and better morals of man. The people of
our own country as a race has quietly sub
mitted, for almost a century, to the growth
and monopolistic encroachments of the
trusts, and but for the individual efforts of
President Roosevelt, would likely remain
dormant for another century. Through his
Individuality the battle is being waged, the
loss of which In -the past has Inevitably
brought ruin to all the works of man all
the accomplishments f the races.
Like the history of the life of Napoleon
for a quarter of a century la the history
of Europe, so Is the history of human prog
ress of the past, a history of a few in
dividuals. If the progress and the elevation
of the races has been made by the Individual
efforts of the few, while time has slowly
marked off 20 centuries, why. In the ulti
mate detlny of the races at the conclusion
of the course of time will the object of
our existence not be controlled and gov
erned by the same individual efforts of a
few ? history, philosophy, experience all
tell us with one accord that the Individual
Is everything the race nothing more than
a foundation - which God has laid, upon
which and through which his wonders to
perform and his Infinite wisdom and justice
and mercy to exemplify.

DEFIES THE JUDGE

Glass Trial and Is Sen

Elect Mayor Today.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 15. The first
serious blow to the bribery-graft prosecu
tion was struck by the Louis Glass de
fense In open 'court today through Eraile
J. Zimmer, second vice-president and di
rector of the Pacific States Telephone &
f Telegraph Company, who first refused to
be sworn, afterward accepted the oath
and took the stand, answered two or
three unimportant questions put by As
sistant District Attorney Heney, then re
fused to testify further. He was, by
Judge Lawlor. committed for contempt to
the County Jail "for a term of five days
and until the question Is answered." Un
der the law as Interpreted by the court
this means that Mr. Zimmer must stay in
Ljall throughout the progress of the Glass
trial, or until he signifies his willingness
to testify.
Most Important Witness.
On Mr. Zimmer the prosecution relied
as its most important witness against
Glass, accused of bribery. At the time
this crime is alleged to have been com
mitted, March, 1906, Glass was acting as
president and general manager of the Pa
cific States Company, owing to the death
of President John I. Sabln. Before the
grand Jury Mr. Zimmer testified that
Glass drew checks for the bribery money
alleged to have been paid to the Supervis
ors, caused Mr. Zimmer to cash them,
and instructed him to give the money to
Halsey and require from Halsey no
voucher, merely carrying these thousands
of dollars on the current expense account.
Mayor Charles Boxton has told the
Glass Jury "that he, as Supervisor, ac
cepted $5000 ' from Halsey ,to vote
against an. ordinance granting a rival
franchise to the Home Telephone Com
pany, and on this and other strong
foundation stones the prosecution pur
posed today to rear the fabric of Glass'
guilt.
Strong Argument to Jury.
It is admitted that the action of Mr.
Zimmer places a powerfully persuasive
argument In the hands of the prosecu
tion against the time of argument to
the Jury; but, on the other hand, the
question is heard:
If Mr. Heney cannot replace Mr.
Zimmer, will not the defense have
strong grounds on which to urge an
Instruction to acquit? .
Mr. Zlmmer's refusal to testify was
based on this statement by him:
"The grand Jury has seen fit to in
dict several men on evidence that
seems unsuff icient, therefore, I have
decided to take this stand in order to
protect myself.".
He meant that he would avail him
self of his constitutional right not to
be made a witness against himself,
though, in reply to questions by the
court, he averred that he did not fear
his arrest might tend to subject him
self to a felony prosecution, or that it
would degrade his character the two
groTinds on which the law - allows a
witness the right to refuse to testify.
Why - Zimmer Refused.
When Mr. Zimmer came to the front of
the synagogue in response to the calling
of his name, he turned from the clerk,
who was about to administer the oath,
and said to Judge Lawlor:
"Meaning no disrespect to the court, I
have decided not to be sworn. My reason
Is that the grand jury has seen fit to in
dict some gentlemen without sufficient
evidence and therefore, to protect myself,
I have decided not to take the stand."
Intense silence reigned in the great au
ditorium for a part of a minute. This
was to the prosecution a bolt out of the
blue.
Mr. Heney sprang to his feet. "This
witness," he said in a loud voice,
"was advised when he was before
the grand Jury that he did not
consider his testimony was such that
It would tend to subject him to prosecu
tion for a felony. In view of that fact,
we consider his conduct at this time
highly improper and we ask that he be
instructed to take the oath."
Mr. Delmas Interposed an objection.
"The witness will be sworn. Then we
will determlpe his attitude," ruled Judge
Lawlor.
Clerk Martin Welch administered the
oath to Mr. Zimmer, and the prosecution's
most Important prospective witness took
the stand. He refused,, however, to testi
fy, though he said he meant no disre
spect to the court.
Warned of Consequence.
Judge Lawlor said: "You are guilty of
contempt in the Immediate view and pres
ence of the court and are subject to sum
mary punishment. Read the question be
fore the court, Mr. Reporter."
"How long have you been employed by
that corporation?" the stenographer
read. ,
"I still refuse to answer," said Mr.
Zimmer.
Judge Lawlor requested the reporter to
read the preceding question and when
Mr. Zimmer had replied: "Meaning no
disrespect to the court, I still refuse to
testify," Judge Lawlor said:
"The Instructions which the court has
already given -will be attached to the ques
tion just read. Upon what grounds do
you refuse to testify?"
Mr. . Zimmer said: "The grand jury
heretofore has Indicted several gentle
men on grounds which seem Insufficient.
Therefore I have taken this stand to
protect myself."
"Do you claim that your answer to the
question now asked you would tend to
subject you to prosecution on . a felony
charge?"
"No, sir. I do not."
"Do you claim that it would degrade
your character?
"No, sir, I do. not."
"The court instructs you," said Judge
Lawlor, with perfect composure, and in
ordinary tone of voice, "that the ques
tion now before the court Is a legal and
pertinent, one. and one which you are
required to answer, and your refusal to
answer will constitute contempt of court.
Read the question again, Mr. Reporter."
The stenographer re-read the question.
"Meaning no disrespect to your honor,
I still refuse to answer," said Mr. Zim
mer. "Have you stated the only ground upon
which you refuse to answer?" asked the
court.
"Yes. sir."
"In the long pause that followed every
eye in the dim synagogue was bent on
Mr. Zimmer.
Judge Lawlor then sentenced Mr. Zim
mer to be "committed to the County
Jail for a term of five days and until
he answers the said question according
to- law."
Mr. Zimmer stepped down from the wit
ness chair and soon afterward entered
an automobile in charge of a Deputy
Sheriff, and was taken to the County
Jail
The judgment of contempt Imposed
by Judsre Lawlor was subsequently de
clared Invalid by Earl Rogers, of Los
Angeles, who will be in charge of the
defense when the officials of the United
Railroads come up for trial. Mr. Rogers
said:
Criticism and Judge's Reply.
"Judge Lawlor. In pronouncing sentence,
made a singular and vital error. He
committed Mr. Zimmer to the 'County
Jail for a term of five days and until the
question now before the court is an
swered." That Is what Is known to the
law as a 'double alternative," and it ren
ders the Judgment absolutely worthless.
The law prescribes a fine not to exceed
toflO and Imprisonment not to exceed five
days, but Judge Lawlor committed Mr.
Zimmer for five days and until the ques
tion Is answered. Under this Judgment,
Mr. Zimmer cannot he held."
Explaining the effect of the sentence.
Judge Lawlor In the noon recess said:
. "Under the law, the Judgment is for
'continuous contempt." That is, 'at all
times until the Jurisdiction of the court
,1s removed by the termination of
this trial, the law supposes the question
to be asked of the witness and assumes
his repeated refusal and consequent con
tempt until he has answered it. "
Frederick W. Eaton, director and secretary-treasurer
of the Pacific States Tele
graph & Telephone Company testified
that the books of the company were de
stroyed In the April fire. He said that
President John I. Sabin died in October,
1905, and thereafter, until Henry T. Scott
assumed charge here as president, only
Glass and Mr. Zimmer were recognized
as standing in Mr. Sabln's place.
"In the months of February and
March, 1906," said Mr. Eaton, answering
an attempt of Mr. Heney's to prove the
company's disbursements, "I signed
checks for between $40,000 and $50,000 In
$10,000 amounts. These checks were
given to Mr. Zimmer without vouchers.
It was not unusual for Mr. Zimmer to
send to me for checks. It was custom
ary for him to ask for $5000 and $10,000
checks."
"Didn't you sign a $1500 check for
Halsey every month in addition to his
salary between June of 1905, and March,
1906?"
Recess interrupted Mr. Delmas' objec
tion. At the afternoon session, Mr. Eaton
said that Glass acted as general manages
from the time of the death of Mr. Sabin
In October, 1905, until after the fire. He
supposed Glass- bad general supervision
of the company's business.
President Henry T. Scott was recalled.
He said Halsey told him he was going
to Manila to take a position wfth a
telephone company there. The witness
thought the oompany did not have any
Interest In the Philippine company.
. ZIMMER LOYAIi TO GliASS.
Refuses to Testify Against Sis Su
perior in Court.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 15. Late to
night. In the "red house on Franklin
street," Mr. Heney gathered a number
of newspaper men around him and
gave out a sensational interview, relat
ing to the refusal today of Emile J.
Zimmer to be a witness against Louis
Glass, completely and without warning
reversing the position he took some
months ago before the grand jury. Mr.
Heney accused the "W. H. Crocker in
terests of causing Zimmer's defection,
threatened to institute an investiga
tion that may end in indictments,
threatened to grant immunity to Theo
dore V. Halsey and by his testimony
bring "bigger men than Glass" to grief,
denounced President Henry T. Scott, of
the Pacific States Company, as "a mon
umental liar," and declared that, not
withstanding the turn of today's
events, he would convict" Glass. He
said:
"Even without his testimony, there
is abundant evidence for a verdict of
conviction. We have already proved
by the testimony of Secretary-Treasurer
Eaton that the expenditure of the
bribe moneys could have been author
ized by only two persons Glass and
Zimmer.
"Three weeks ago we learned that
great pressure was being brought
against Zimmer to disappear. In fact,
no less person that Henry T. Scott ad
mitted it to Rudolph Spreckels. It co
incided with information gathered by
us.
"I at once sent for Zimmer and told him
what I knew. 'Zimmer,' I said, 'don't, let
these people put you in a hole.. You stand
all right as you are. But if you make
any attempt to get out of town we will
bring you back, and the fact of your run
ning away, coupled with the testimony
you gave before the grand Jury, would go
very far to. indict you along with Glass
and Halsey." -
"With tears In his eyes Zimmer thanked
me and went away. We have an excellent
statute covering the offense of conspiring
to obstruct or defeat the administration
of justice. It is an Indictable misde
meanor, punishable by Imprisonment for
