TIIE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, PORTLAXD, AUGUST 19, 1906. F OF DO TROOPS Urgent Appeal From Browns . ville for Their Removal. PANIC GOVERNS WOMEN Koosevelt Refuses to Act Until He lias Investigated, and Citizens Renew Their Request for Immediate Action. DALLAS. Tex.. Aug. 18. (Special.) U. S. Senator Charles A. Culberson today received the rollowing reply to a telegram pent by him on Friday: "Washington. Aug. 18. Hon. C. A. Culberson, Dallas. Tex., Your tele gram requesting removal of colored troops from Fort Brown having been submitted to the President, he directs me to advise you no action can be taken on your request until full Investigation and report as to Incident in question has been made and action taken by the Department. AINS WORTH, ' "Acting Secretary of War." Mr. Culberson today received a second appeal from citizens of Brownsville signed by 20 persons of prominence, among them the County Judge, Sheriff, bankers and newspaper publishers. The telegram reads: "We appeal to you again In our great necessity. Our position Is misunderstood. We cannot convince our women and chil dren that another outbreak may not oc cur at any time. Their condition is de plorable. They will scarcely venture out of their homes and feel secure. We are maintaining a heavy guard and patrol of armed citizens every night. We know that the accidental discharge of a firearm, or any overt act of any citizen and our citizens are fearfully excited would pre cipitate upon us the whole negro force at Brownsville, and we do not believe that their officers could restrain or con trol them. There are only five officers present, and the consequences would be a fearful loss of life and probably the destruction of the city. "Many of our citizens have been re moving their families elsewhere. A Tex as town should not be left unaided In this condition. We demand the Immedi ate removal of these negro troops from our city, and we earnestly ask you to use your official and personal Influence with the President to this end. We have been unable up to this date to obtain any relief. Please answer quick." Mr Culberson said the message received by him from Washington was In reply to a message sent by him and Senator Bailey to the Department. YELLOW PRESS INSISTENT 'ot Satisfied With French Cabinet's Attitude Toward Pope. PARIS. Aug. 18. (Special.) Even the calm declaration of the government after yesterday's Cabinet meeting that the act of December. 1905, 'which pronounces the separation of church and state, is a law and that, as the state only knows Its own laws, the government will see that they are enforced, has not had the effect of quieting the agitation of.the yellow sec tion of the Paris press, which demands In large headlines, "Will Uiey go to Canossa or the Pope sue for mejcy?" The pros pect for disorder appears less as time passes. The vast body of the French I 'alholics do not seem to be disposed to follow any impulsive lead. "Any suggested modification regarding ti e change In form of the cultural asso ciations must come from the papacy di rectly, or else indirectly through the French bishops," a correspondent was told at the Ministry of Public Instruction today. "Those who figure on the slight est concession on the part of this govern ment are making a singular error. This Is final." At Archbishop Richards' place there Is a "bureau of Information." which exists, apparently, for the purpose of repeating "We are in the hands of God and the Holy Father. We will emerge triumph ant from this trial as from many others." Canossa Is the castle In Northern Italy, now In ruins, which was the scene of the penance of Emperor Henry IV before Tope uregory VII In 1077. The expression "go to Canossa" is proverbially used to denote a surrender to the claims of the church. . STAND FIRM, SAY FAITHFUL Pope's Secretary Deluged With Tele grams About French Crisis. ROME, Aug. 18. (Special.) Cardinal Merry del Val's holidays at Castle Gan doelfo are busy ones. He is in constant communication by telephone with the Vatican and Is deluged with telegrams from France, most of which approve the Pope's firm attitude with respect to the law of saparation, while some suggest remedies and expedients with a view to causing the French Government to capit ulate. The Papal Secretary Is uncommunica tive, but your correspondent is Informed by members of his household that the French Government Is coming to realize the necessity of having the Catholic Church organized and It will either co operate with the episcopate or come to the terms of the Pope. BLOW TO ENGLISH CAPITAL Carry More Insurance in South America Than Any Others. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 18.-(Special.)-Vniess they can successfully hide behind tholr earthquake clauses, the English in surance companies will be hard hit by the fire at Valparaiso. They carry a large amount of risks there. All of the great English companies, the Orient, London & Lancashire, London & Liver pool & Globe. Alliance, Commercial Union. Xorwloh Union, Palatine and others have agents in Valparaiso and are large writers of insurance. The English companies in their hunt for new fields have covered South America better than those of other countries. Germany comes second. It la probable that no American companies harl risks in Chile. "We are anxiously awaiting full news of the destruction of Valparaiso," said an agent of one of the English com panies yesterday. "All English com panies carry heavy risks In South Amer ica Should the city be completely ob literated by fire, our losses will be tre mendous. I feel certain, however, from the reports I have seen, that we will be protected to a large extent by our earthquake-clause policies. It may not CITIZENS E be news to you, but the earthquake clause was originated to protect us In our South American writings." CAPITAL OF CHILE IX RUINS Beautiful City of 250,000 People Is Santiago de Chile. Santiago, whose population" is nearly 250.000, Is located on a plain east of Val paraiso, at an elevation of 1830 feet, on a railway from Valparaiso, about 75 miles distant. Santiago is one of the finest cit ies on the two American continents. It has a climate similar to that of St. Louis or Washington. Magnificent shops and commercial build ings characterize the city, while money Is so plentiful that the equipages can be compared with those of New York. Many of the private houses are palatial, and the toilets of the women are superb. The Alameda on a pleasant afternoon Is crowded with handsome carriages, with liveried coachmen and footmen, like Cen tral Park, New York. The Alameda Is 600 feet in width, broken by four rows of poplar trees, and stretches the full length of the city, four miles, and is dotted with a long line of statues.- At one end are Exposition grounds and horticultural gardens, im proved to tho highest degree of landscape architecture. The National Museum of Chile, modeled on the Crystal Palace in London, a zoological garden, magnificent opera-house and magnificent palaces of carved sandstone, often 100 or 200 feet square, can be seen along this thorough fare. As an illustration of Chilean civiliza tion, the opera-house is said to be the finest In the Western Hemisphere. It is built on the European plan with four balconies, supported by brackets so there are no pillars. to obstruct the view. The leading hotel has $300,000 worth of fur niture from Paris and a $5000 chef from the same place. The bar Is of silver and crystal. To what extent these gorgeous improve ments have been damaged cannot yet be stated. BY THE BUFF STACKPOI.B ATTEMPTS TO ESCAPE AT I,OS ANGELES. On Trial For the Murder of Joel i Scheck Case Goea to the Jury. L09 ANGELES, Aug. 18. Ernest Stack pole, whose trial for the murder of Joel Scheck was concluded today, while wait ing In Department 1 at the Courthouse this afternoon for the verdict of the Jury, made a clever and almost success ful effort to escape from the building. Unnoticed by Bailiff Harrington, he Btrolled out through the door of the courtroom into the chamber of Judge James, where an open door led into the corridors of the court. He had scarcely entered the Judge's chambers when Har rington caught sight of him and sprang for the opeh door. Harrington succeeded in rushing in front of Stackpole and throwing the door shut and locking It. He then clapped handcuffs on the pris oner and led him back into the court room. Stackpole was cool and collected and had nothing to say after the episode. It is the second time during the pres ent trial that he has made the same sort of effort to escape from the offi cers. The Stackpole. trial entered on its final day today. The ease has been on trial now eight days. All that re mained to close the case when court opened this morning was the conclus ion of the address of Deputy District Attorney Fleming and the delivery of the instructions of the court to the Jury. The case has been a sensational one from the start and the public attend ance has been larger than that of any murder trial in Los Angeles in years. On one occasion the crowd became so boisterous and unruly that they broke through the panels of the courtroom door after it had been closed to them. Women chiefly composed the crowd. The testimony of Mrs. Scheck, wife of the murdered man, was the most sensational adduced. She made a full and free confession of her part in the plot and murder and her illicit rela tions with Stackpole. The night of June 18, shortly after midnight, Mrs. Scheck related how Stackpole came to the Scheck home with a dark mask over his face, and was admitted to the bedroom of Scheck by herself. There he shot Scheck twice with a pistol, killing him instantly. Stackpole then left the house and after giving sufficient time for him to escape. Mrs. Scheck gave the alarm. She said two burglars had killed her husband. In his own defense, in the present trial, stackpole went on the stand and made a general denial of the charge. There was little corroborative testi mony on either side. A package of 90 love letters written by Mrs. Scheck to Stackpole were introduced by the pros ecution, and supplied many of the sa lacious details of the case. Stackpole is a carpenter by trade and came formerly from Butte City. He is about 34 years of age. Mrs. Scheck is 19. Her husband was slight ly older. After Deputy District Attorney Fleming had concluded the closing ad dress for the people this morning. Judge James charged the jury. His Instructions required but 17 minutes to read. The case was finaly given into the hands of the jury at 11:54 and they retired. Ex-Fire Chief Strohm was placed In charge of the Jury. At a late hour tonight word came from the Jury-room that no verdict would be reached tonight. By instruction of the court, the Jury was locked up for the night. The courtroom gossip tonight was that the Jury had agreed to a verdict, ex cept with regard to punishment. THE DAY'S DEATH RECORD - J. C. Xyman, Chicago Pioneer. CHICAGO. Aug. 18. Captain John C.

Many have fled to sea Destruction Less Thanat San Fran cisco, but Loss of Life Much Greater Principal Buildings of Santiago Are Ruined. GALVESTON. Aug. 18 (Special.) While It has been impossible up to the present time for representatives of the press at Valparaiso to get through any sort of a complete story of the damage done by the earthquake that swept over the South American coast, it is possible at this hour to arrive at an apparently safe estimate of the result of the horror. It is by no means so destructive as the San Fran cisco earthquake, as far as the money damage is concerned, but the loss of life will be much larger and the cities that are stricken are not in a position to com mand the aid that the Golden Gate me tropolis could. Ships Flee With Refugees. The damage In Valparaiso was most se vere. So far as the news received . here indicates, about one-quarter of the city is in ruins and every one has fled. Homes have been abandoned and the former In habitants of the city are now encamped in the hills and open spaces outside of the town, or are now at sea, refugees on the vessels that were In the harbor. The ships made for sea as soon as the refu gees could be taken aboard, as it was feared by the authorities that a tidal wave was due, and It was necessary, therefore, to take all precautions necessary. None of the ships has as yet succeeded In get ting back there. It is not alone at Valparaiso, however, that damage has resulted. Vina del Mar, a suburb, whose population is about 9000, is reported to be a mass of ruins. Qult- roque, a small place east of there, and Limache are also badly damaged, but up to the present time no loss of life is known. Santiago Full of Ruins. Santiago, Chile, is also badly damaged, and, although the city is absolutely cut off from outside communication, it is now known that a terrible shock de stroyed ail or nearly all of the larger structures in the business section; The loss of life there, as at Valparaiso, must remain problematic for a time, most of the messages received here simply indi cating that certain persons escaped with their lives. According to a' brief mes sage received tonight from Abernal Has tings, South American representative of a big Eastern hide concern, every struc ture that fronted on the Alamade high way is in ruins, and, as this is the busiest thoroughfare in the capital city. It seems certain that the damage must be very great. However, as the houses destroyed are only small, it will be pos sible to repair the damage soon. Troops Drive Out Homeless. The Chilean troops are in absolute con trol of the situation, and have driven all persons out of the city with the excep- tion of certain construction forces, which have already been pressed into service to clear away the ruins and assist in remedying the damage. VALPARAISO TOTAL WRECK People Flee toShips or Country. Panic Prevents Relief Work. GALVESTON. Texas, Aug. 18. Val paraiso has been wrecked by earth quake and Are and the few buildings that escaped serious damage from the earthquakes have either been burned or are In immediate danger of being burned. The people are panic-stricken and all attempts at organization have proved futile. Martial law has been proclaimed and an effort is being made to calm the people, but with little hope, as the quakes still continue up to this afternoon, five shocks being; felt to day, although not so frequent or vio lent, but enough to keep the people in a state of terror. The Mexican cable was in operation all day to Valparaiso, but to interior points all overland wires are down and It will be several days before they are restored. The entire business portion of .Valparaiso has been' destroyed. The authorities will not permit any lights in the buildings and at dark the cable office was closed for the night. The cable office closed at dusk on account of the lack of lights and be cause of declaration of martial law, compelling operators to keep off the streets for fear of being shot by guards. The dead and injured are estimated at 1000, while wild rumors place the figures at 4000. However, owing to lack of systematic report, all figures are speculation. The shocks have continued since Thursday night and five slight shocks were felt today. The operators of the cable company have deserted their posts, with one exception. The shipping in the harbor escaped damage and every vessel is a haven fqr refugees. All buildings have been deserted. Practically nothing has been done in the way of clearing wrecks or 'searching for dead bodies and la borers refuse to- enter the ruins be cause of the continued shocks. Sol diers will force the rescue work to morrow. FIRE SPREADS THROUGH CITY Shocks Felt In Northern Chile Two Large Villages Destroyed. BUENOS ATRES, Aug. 18.

Three bombs were thrown today at the Governor-General's carriage from a balcony in a house in Natolinska street. Two of them explod ed behind the carriage without damaging it, but breaking all the windows of the neighboring houses. The perpetrators of the outrage escaped. The Governor-General was walking from his carriage toward the palace when a young man, apparently about 22 years of age and looking like a university stu dent, pushed through the crowd on the street-corner and flung a bomb toward the Governor and his staff, who were then passing across the lawn in front of the palace. As the conical-shaped object struck the ground it exploded with ter rific force, and the Governor and mem bers of his staff were thrown to' the grounds. It is announced that the Governor General sustained concussion of the brain. . A detachment of troops on guard on the premises immediately charged the crowd and a hand-to-hand encounter en sued, in which half a dozen were serious ly hurt. Infantry patrols, reinforced by artillery, have been called out. and it is reported that, owing to the increase In the revo lutionary movement, the proclamation of a state of Biege is imminent.

In the morgue there are still lying 38 dead, who were found in the streets. It is not known how many have been burled secretly. It is Impossible to ascertain the num ber of dead or wounded. Dr. Loren tokicz and his assistants in the hospital In the suburb of Wola, bandaged the wounds of 474 persons. The center of the town is quiet, but it is most dan gerous to enter the Jewish quarter. POLICE RESIGX WHOLESALE Terrorism Drives Them From Serv iceMonarchists' Election Plan. , ST. PlSTERSBURG,-Aug. 18. Since the acute revival of terrorism, the Ministry of the Interior has been flooded with complaints forwarded by Chiefs of Police in all parts of the Empire to the effect that the police are resigning by the wholesale, and it is evident that if this state of affairs continues it may com pel a practical replacement of police by troops. The Cabinet has given serious attention to the situation in Poland, and the ques tion of dispatching considerable rein forcements to troops there and sending out punitive expeditions has been dis cussed, but no decision has been reached. The Monarchist organs, most of which are classed by the liberals as Black Hundreds, are trying to arrange a na tional congress at Kieff, with the view to placing tickets in the field for the Parliamentary elections,- which, it Is now believed, will be held in November. Premier Stolypin yesterday authorized a flat denial of various reports which have been in circulation here with regard to revision of the fundamental law, declar ing that alteration Is not even contem plated. In reference to other rumors that a commission Is now working on revision of the law governing the election of mem bers of Parliament, a member of the Cab. inet informs the Associated Prefs that they probably are traceable to the fact that the Government is making a syste matic study of its role In the elections. and how best to combat the efforts of the I Your Artistic Taste, Because It Is Pretty and Tasty And Also Your Culinary Taste, Because It Will Produce Perfectly Baked Bread, Evenly Baked Not Half Raw Biscuits, and Pies on Which the Crusts Are Not Burned.

No amount of love or prosperity, culture or self-denial, can restore to the home revolutionists, quasi or avowed. This Minister, who is noi close to the court party, scoffed at current gossip that Pre mier Stolypin Is about to resign. The credit of $7,500,000 voted by the late Parliament for famine relief being al ready exhausted and the commission re vising the budget having scraped the last possible kopeo to raise $10,000,000, it was reported thl afternoon that the Government had determined to have re course to an Internal loan of J27.600.000 to provide , the further sura urgently, needed to prevent starvation and provide seed for a new crop.

The Premier entirely agreed that the Emperor was opposed to the expropriation of land, which he re garded as pillage. He considered that the liberty granted to the press In Russia had been too extensive, in view of the great Influence it exerted, and said that force was the only visible method of fighting the revolution.
