Two of the injured and Seaman Pair and Walsh were In a critical condi tion when brought to the hospital and it was announced their Injuries would probably prove fatal. Both Lieutenant Goodrich's eyes were destroyed and ho was terribly burned. Ho died at 11:45 tonight at Chelsea hospital. Lieutenant Good rich and Seaman Malick jumped over board Immediately after the explo sion, with the apparent effort or mo tive of ending their terrible sufferings from burns. Both the desperate men were rescued by uninjured com rades. The accident happened while the battleship was several miles off Provlncetown and the men were en gaged In target practice together with other vessels of the battleships squadron of the Atlantic fleet. The powder had just been taken frpm the ammunition hoist to load an 8-inch gun.' It was seen to bo burn ing and In an instant it exploded in the very face of the loador of the gun. No damage was done the ves sel, as the- powder was not confined. Early this ovenlng, under orders from Washington, the Georgia sailed back for the target grounds off Province town. How ever the powder became Wore Allowed To Land On Declara tion 1 hat They Were Seaman , Disappear. Washington, July 15. While im mlgiation officials declare that there is no diminution in the Ilood of Jap anese coming into the country by the channels already reported, now de vices are being invented whereby the Japaucso evade the immigration laws and gain admission to the United State3. One of these was discovered at Philadelphia, where a sugar ship from Honolulu arrived a few 'days ago with a Japanese ci'ew. The- cap tain on nrrival paid off the Japanese, who were examined by immigration officials, and on their declaration that they were hoaman and intended to re main seamen, they were allowed to go. They have not reshipped and have disappeared. The immigration officials have no expectation that thoy wll turn up again. It is reported that the num ber of Japanese in all the Eastern cities, especially Philadelphia, lu in creasing rapidly and this Is notice able in Washington. It can not be learned at the Immigration office that any Japanese who entered the United States from Mexico on the pretext that they were en route to Canada has been reported as arriving on the Ca'nadian border.

Zimmer, The Chief Witness Against Grafters Refuses To Give Testimony. IS JAILED FOR CONTEMPT Prosecution Refuses To State Next Move, ACTION IS SERIOUS BLOW Relieved That Indectcd Officials Have Good Chance Under Exist ing Conditions. S.m Francisco, July 15. The first serious blow to the bribery graft prosecution was struck by the Louis Glass dofenso In the opening of court today, through Emlle J. Zimmer, sec ond vice-president and director of. the Pacific States Telephone and Tele graph Company, who first refused to bo sworn and afterward accepted the oath and took the stand, answered two or three unimportant questions put by Heney, then refused to tes tify further. Judge Lawlor com mitted him for contempt to the county jail, "For a term of five days or until tho question is answered." Under tho law as interpreted by the court, this means Zimmer must stayl in jail throughout the progress of the Glass trial or until ho signifies his willingness to testify. On Zimmer tho prosecution relied as its most important witness against Glass. Before the grand jury Zim mer testified Glass drew checks for bribery money claimed to have been paid to supervisors, and caused Zim mer to casli them and instructed him to give tho money to Agent Halsey and require from Halsey no voucher, merely carrying these thousands of dollars on tho current expense ac count. Mayor Boxton has told the Glass jury that ho as supervisor accepted $5,000 from Halsey to vote against the ordinance granting a rival fran chise to the Home Company, and on this and other "strong foundation stones tho prosecution purposed to day to rear a fabric of Glass's guilt. If Honey has other mate. 'al a hand to substitute, tho building of the case may go on But he lefuseg to talk. Neither would Dolmas leador of the defense's forces, say a word. It is admitted the action of Zimmer places a powerfully persua sive argument in tho hands of the prosecution against the lino of argu ment to the jury; but, on tho other hand, the question is heard: "If Honey cannot replace Zimmer, will not the dofenso have strong grounds for asking Instruction to acquit?" Zimmer's refusal to testify was based.on this statement by him: "The grand jury has seen fit to Indict sev eral men on evidence that seems in sufficient, therefore I have decided to take this stand in order to protect myself." Ho meant howould avail himself of tho "constitutional right not to be mado a witness against himself." Though In reply to questions by tho court ho averred ho did not fear his arrest might tend to subject him to felony prosecution, it would "de grade his character two grounds on which tho law allows a witness tho right to refuse to testify. SERIOUS FLOODS IN GERMANY. Berlin, July 15.

Section Foreman Has Honor of Dis tinguished Politicians' Presence at Itrcnkfnst. Portland, July 15. A special to the Oregonian from Astoria says Vice-President Fairbanks was ten dered an enthusiastic reception by the people of Astoria whom he visited today. Fairbanks was met at the depot by a large committee of citi zens and escorted to a large auto mobile In which ho headed the pro cession through the streets of the city. Fairbanks wa3 entertained at lunch by Fulton, u.'.d In the after noon spoke to a .arge assemblage. After thi3 he visited the cruiser Charleston. In tho evening ho was taken to the seaside on a special train, where a banquet was hold. Through a misunderstanding Fair banks left the train In the morning at the Goblo Junction of the North ern Pacific and Astoria 'and Columbia River Railroad Instead of continuing to Portland, whlthor the Astoria re ception committee had gone. Between 5:30 and 9 a. m., tho Vice-President' was compelled to while away the time as be3t he could at this out-of-the-way siding. While waiting he recognized I. H. Bross, a section foreman, as an old acquaint ance. Bross invited Fairbanks to breakfast at his cottage, alter which the Vice-President, seated on a bag gage truck, entertained the workmen about the yards until his train ar rived.

A vigorous protest has been received by the gov ernment from the Japanese and Cor ean Exclusion League, the headquar ters of which are at Seattle, Wash., against what Is asserted to be an organized traffic in Japanese women, who, it is asserted, are being brought to this country in largo numbers for immoral purposes. The protest declares that whole sale misrepresentation, perjury and fraud are perpetrated on tho part of Immigrants and perjury and collu sion on the part of the Japanese resi dents in this country. It is said -that the "traffic Is regularly organized and that women are brought s into the country and sold Into a system of slavery. In connection with the trafflc there is said to exist a gang -of black mailers composed of Japanese who live on tho "hush money" collected from tho importers of the Japanese slave girls.

Refuses to Sanction Law Drawn Up by-S. P. Alameda, July 15. Mayor Taylor has vetoed the new train ordinance, which tho city council passed at its last meeting at tho Instance of tho Southern Pacific. Tho ordinance prohibits any one from tampering with tho running apparatus of trains. It was brought beforo the council by Attorney Allen, who stated that tho ordinance was similar in tenor to that adopted by other cities at tho request of the railroad. Mayor Taylor vetoed the ordinance on tho ground that it was too broad In construction and applied to electric cars, as well as steam trains, and that It might cause trouble to passengers who pulled tho boll cord on trains or care when tho conductor was not near by, and yet who wished to leavo tho train or cars at some particular point. LEO TOLSTOI REPORTED DEAD London, July 15. Tho Daily Olo graph prints a dispatch from St. Petersburg otday that there is an uninformed rumor that Count Leo Tolstoi Is dead. C. W. Aller Is Placed Under $5,000 Bond For False Testimony. WILL BE GIVEN HEARING Harry Orchard Again Takes Stand, ADMITS UNCLE'S" INSANITY Wordy Engagement Hctwccu Wit ness and Defence's Attorney Causes Amusement. Boise, July 15. Another warrant charging perjury against a witness who has testified for tho defense against Haywood was issued this evening. C. W. Aller, formerly a telegraph operator and tickot agent at tho depot of the Florence and Cripple Creek railway at Cripple Cneek, is charged with the offense, by the prosecuting attorney of Ada county. Ho has been arrested and held in $5,000 bonds. Both Aller and McGee, who were arrested on a similar charge will be given a pre liminary hearing In a few days. Eleven witnesses in rebuttal were examined today. Orchard reappear ed on the stand and wa3 asked a few questions as to his acquaintance with some of the witnesses for the defense who have testified as to his movements. On being turned over for cross-examination, he admitted his uncle, Peter McKluney, com mitted suicide by hanging 13 or 14 years ago. Counsel for the defense asked Orchard If his uncle was not insane before ho killed himself, and also tried to show by witness that his maternal grandfather was In sane, his monomania being imagi nary crimes committed a long time ago in Ireland. Orchard denied all knowledge of his grandfather, but admitted his uncle 'was demented. The entlro af ternoon session was taken up with the examination of witnesses who contradicted evidence given by Aller, who testified for the defense In sup port of the charge of conspiracy against tho Western Federation. Aller sworo ho saw Orchard and D. C. Scott together at the depot of the Florence and Cripple Creok railway on Sunday about threo weeks prior to tho explosion at tho Independence depot on June C, 1904. Scott, this afternoon, sworo ho was not In Cripple Creek at that time and a number of witnesses corrob orated this. As a result of this re buttal testimony, information was sworn out after court adjourned, charging Aller with perjury. The explosion at the Bradley resi dence was again under considera tion today. Thcv state undertaking to show tho effect of an illuminating gas explosion could not havo been that described In the depositions taken. for tho defense In San Fran cisco. Tho manager of tho Bolso Gas Company, C. D. Lampson, quali fied as an expert. He discredited tho proposition that gas could bo Ignited by a glow at "tho end of a cigar. He was examined at consid erable length by Richardson and showed to closo technical knowledge of gas and Its possibilities as an ox ploslvo, The general effect of his ovldenco was tho explosion at tho Bradley houso could not have been caused by gas. Much amusement was caused by a wordy engagement betwen Richardson and E. M. Sa bine, an attorney of Idaho Springs, Colorado. Sabino was engaged In tho prose cution on a number of cases charg ing fourteen members of tho West ern Federation with crlmo and con spiracy during tho lubor troubles In 1003, Richardson was defending tho counsel In those cases. Thoro was a sharp exchange, between theso two but enough good humored ban- 1 Waht City To Widen Thoroughfare Cllina of Quiet Fight. Oakland, July 15. The officials of the Southern Pacific and of tho Western Pacific roads have a3ked for a continuauce of the action on tho proposed rights .of way on First street, this city, until next Septem ber from the city council and tho board of super vIsoi"s. The purpose of this delay is to en deavor to secure the widening of First street from the point of be ginning on Lake Merrltt to West Oakland. If thin can bo accomplish ed, the street will be occupied by tho tracks of both loads, Instead of tho Western Pacific occupying a central strip along that thoroughfare, as was origina'lly asked for. The pi, pose of the Western Pacific line on First street was to give that road access'from Its mole to the different industrial plants along tho water front. To accomplish that end the West ern Pacific, asked for what was jailed an industrial Hue,' Which wa3 luietly opposed by the Southern Pa cific ' officials. Now it seems that hey have patched up a truce, and both roads will join hi asking for the widening of First street and its joint occupancy by the two roads.
