passed the point safely. Three hours
later No. 4 started across the same bit
of track and 60 feet of the roadbed sud
denly oollapsed.
The train was running 14 miles an

THIEVES USE WIRELESS
Burglars Guard Each Other From
Police Movements.
LOS ANGELES, July 25. When the po
lice arrested four boys whose ages ranged
from 14 to 17 years, in a deserted shack,
they discovered this gang has been oper
ating the most modern "burglars' club"
ever found in the city, with a wireless
telegraph as one of Its features.
Arthur Smith, 17 years old, appeared to
be the ruling spirit of the gang, and he
also was the operator of the chief wire
less station. Four other stations were
operated, and members of the gang were
kept Informed of one another's move
ments by wireless, according to the po
lice. In fact. It was discovered today
that there . are seven members of the
gang and that Smith was able to com
municate with three of the members
after his arrest at the shack and acquaint
them with the presence of officers, giving
them a chance to hide.
They were captured today. Smith has
made a confession. It la said.

Portland In Theater Chain of New
Vaudeville Circuit.
NEW TORK, July 25. Announce
ment Is made tonight from the office of
William Morris, Inc., that the newly or
ganized William Morris Company,
Western, capitalized at $1,000,000, has
procured control of a chain of theaters
In the principal cities of the West.
These Include San Francisco. Denver,
Salt Lake. Portland, Seattle. Vancouver,
B. C: Helena and Butte, Mont. The
company will make them part of a
vaudeville circuit which, it Is planned,
ultimately shall encircle the globe.
Headquarters of the Western branch
will be at San Francisco. The map of
the circuit Is now bounded by Buffalo
and Toronto on the north. New Orleans
on the south, Boston on the east, and
the Pacific Coast cities on the west.
Marine Corps, on the parade grounds
at Annapolis. In October, 1907, and that
Lieutenant Sutton had no means of
knowing Lieutenant Roelker was any
where in the vicinity when he fired the
fatal shot, are two of the most im
portant points which Mrs. Sutton's at
torney's expect to bring out whea the
hearings are resumed.
Henry B. Davis, senior counsel for
Mrs. Sutton, says he can prove that
Lieutenant Roelker had been out with
Sergeant DeHart on the night in ques
tion, and that he was in no condition
to appreciate what was going on when
Lieutenant Sutton shot himself. The
testimony referring to Lieutenant
Roelker's prostrate form on the ground
after he had been presumably shot, Mr.
Davis says, simply bears out his con
tention that Lieutenant Roelker. in re
turning late from Liberty, was un
able to reach his tent at camp, but
dropped by the -wayside near the spot
where Lieutenant Sutton's life was
ended.
Roelker Can't Be Located.
As Lieutenant Bevan has sworn that
Lieutenant Roelker had tried to prevent
Lieutenant Sutton from using his re
volvers on the night In question, and
had followed him from the camp to
where the fatal quarrel occurred, Mrs:
Sutton's attorneys expect to make It
evident that there is something radi
cally inexact in the previous testimony
by laying stress on the contradiction
concerning Lieutenant Roelker.
As witnesses have also sworn that
Lieutenant Sutton shot himself, within
few seconds after someone declared.
My Got! he has killed Roelker:" Mrs.
Sutton's attorneys believe that Lieuten
ant Roelker's connection with the affair
should be accurately understood. Lieu
tenant Roelker has not yet been located
and his absence and the futile efforts
of the authorities to locate him add a
mysterious phase to the case.
Sister Would Not Accuse.
Lieutenant Adams and the other of
ficers concerned have become openly
antagonistic to Mrs. Parker and show
it clearly in court. She apparently does
not reciprocate this feeling. In fact,
she says she has no desire to get any
of the officers In trouble, and will go
out of her way to prevent any action
by the authorities Involving the offi
cers concerned if she can do so.
T would not do anything to any of
those boys for anything In the world,1
Mrs. Parker said. "I do not wish to see
anyone suffer as a result of this in

LONDON, July 25. (Special.) Owing to
the great success of the English Church
pageant, and In response to a universally
expressed desire, the executive commit
tee or the pageant, having had the
grounds of Fulham palace again gener
ously placed at their disposal by tho
Bishop of London, have decided to hold
another church pageant in the Summer
of next year. They feel that the educn-
tlonal value of this year's pageant has
been so great and the demand for seats
so enormous that this decision will be
welcomed by the hundreds of thousands
who have not had an opportunty of see
ing the pageant, which came to ar end
last Saturday evening.
No programme of scenes for next year's
pageant has so far been arranged, but it
may be taken for granted that many new
vcenea In the church's history, appealing
to all sections of the community, will find
pi&ce in the contemplated perform

YOUTH THROWS AWAY LIFE
Thinking Girl Is In Danger, He
Goes to Rescue and Drowns.
SEATTLE, Wash., July 25. (Special.)
-While on his way to rescue a young
woman from what he believed to be a
dangerous position, Jesse W. Bissett, of
219 Juneau street, Hillman City, was
drowned from a canoe in a squall off
Champagne Point, six miles north of
Madison Park, this afternoon. The vic
tim of the Lake Washington tragedy
was 19 years old, and lived with his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. I. Bissett.
His sister ZUla was on the shore
short distance away from him when he
drowned. - ..
The drowning happened In sight of
several members of another party of
picnickers from Seattle. Three young
men and a number of young women
saw Bissett approaching. The water
was choppy, and his canoe was rocking
badly. Almost before they could take
a second look the canoe was overturned
not 30 feet from s'lore, and its occupant
was struggling in the water.

and pounding him on the back. They,
with a few roldiers and others who
happened to be on the scene, were the
only persons to witness the finish of a
remarkable feat.
Average Speed 45 Miles Hour.
Bleriot left Les Barraques, three
miles from Calais, about 4:30 A. M., on
one of the smallest monoplanes ever
used. He crossed the channel in little
less than half an hour, twice as swiftly
as the fastest mall boat. His speed
averaged more than 45 miles an hour,
sometimes it approximated SO miles.
He was about 250 feet above the sea
level and for about ten minutes in mid
channel was out of sight of both
coasts and also the French torpedo
boat -destroyer which followed him,
with his wife and friends aboard.
Aviator Wears Single Garment.
The wind was blowing about 20
miles an hour, and the sea was choppy.
The aviator was swathed In a single
garment of drilling, impervious to the
wind. This garment covered him from
head to foot, only his face showing.
He wore also a cork lifebelt.
An eyewitness of the landing thus
describes it:
'Very early in the morning a wireless
message was received from Calais that

Then in quick succession came the
news that he had left land, that he

to the eastward. Only a few minutes
after the wireless announcing the start,

received at Dover. Hardly had this
been transcribed when the keen-eyed
coast guard scanning the sea with his
telescope shouted that Bleriot was
within sight.

CHICO, Cal., July 25. (Special.)
Thomas Warner, a 18-year-old boy of
Nimshew, in the mountains east of
Chlco, was bitten by a rattlesnake
while he was making his way along a
lonely mountain trail between Nimshew
and Magalia Thursday evening.
It was three miles home, and he
realized that If he waited until he
could walk home before he did any
thing to counteract the poison he
would stand very little chance to live.
The boy took out his Jackknlfe and
cut away the flesh from the wound left
by the snake. The snake bite was in
the fleshy part of the left hand, and
he cut the flesh away clear to the
bone. He then ran all the way home
with the hand bleeding freely.
The surgery was successful, for
there has been no swelling from the
wound, and It Is healing.

ington, D. C, July 25. If Interest can
again be awakened In the Heney case
when Congress reassembles next De
cember, it is more than likely that a
special Congressional Committee will be
appointed to probe Into the employment
of Mr. Heney, his work as a special
prosecutor for the Department of Jus
tice, and his remuneration, made from
time to time, under direction of the De
partment of Justice.
The Department of Justice has always
been secretive about the employment and
payment of Francis J. Heney. It was
'only after a House Committee on appro
priations made the demand that the De
partment submitted a bare statement of
amounts paid to Heney, and the dates.
That statement contained nothing more;
no explanation of the services rendered;
no explanation as to the amount of- com
pensation allowed In various cases; no in
formation as to the length of time Mr.
Heney was at work supposedly earning
the various sums turned over to him.
Money Heney Has Received.
The payments, as stated by the De
partment of Justice, are as follows:

SAN FRANCISCO. July 25. Battery
Boutelle, of the San Francisco Presidio,
