Stevens had no Possible Chance
to Live.
"I NEVER MET A BRAVER MAN"
Doctor Zumwalt Added His Appre
ciation of Stevens' Character by
Saying: "He Had Been Calm and
Cheerful From the First"
SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. 26. Dur
ham White Stevens, the diplomat,
who was shot down by the Korean,
In Whan Chang, on Monday morning,
died late last night at the St Francis
hospital, after an operation which dis
closed a more serious condition of his
wounds than had been apprehended
by the surgeons.
At his bedside when he died, be
side the doctors, was the Japanese
consul general, Chozo Koike.
"This is mofct unfortunate. This
is a great loss to Japan, Korea and
to this country," were the words of
Koike, as he left the death chamber,
and Doctor Zumwalt, who had at
tended, him, added his appreciation
of Stevens character by saying:
"He had been calm, cool and cheer
ful from the first and entirely on
complaining. I have never met a
braver man."
Until yesterday morning every
hone had been entertained for Ste
vens' recovery, but at 10 o'clock
symptoms of inflammation of the per
itoneum appeared and the surgeons
realized that his condition had be
come critical
At six o'clock Stevens was taken
to the operating room and placed
under an anaesthetic. On opening
the abdominal cavity the surgeon dis
covered that the intestines had been
perforated in six different places by
one of the shots fired by Chang, and
that the patient had no chance for
recovery.
Only once during the evening did
Stevens show any sign of returning
consciousness, when, in answer to a
qestion by one of the doctors, he
said that he was in pain. Then he
relapsed and lay quietly until the
end came at a little after eleven
o'clock.
Doctor Terry, Huntington and
Zumwalt, who performed the opera
tion, remained at his berside during
the evening. Stevens leaves two sis
ters, in Atlantic City, and a telegram
was sent there last night, informing
them of their brother's death.
Consul General Koike sent cable-
grams to his government, reporting
the death of Stevens.
In Whan Chang, the Korean who
fired the shots which proved fatal to
Stevens, when informed last night at
the jail of his victim's death, received
the news without surprise and with
manifest delight.
Since the day of the shooting
Chang has been expressing the hope
that Stevens wound might prove fatal
Last night, when asked if he was
sorry for what he had done, Chang

Having returned from San Francisco with a splendid stock of spring
and wmmer suitings of the latest style and having spent several weeks
in studying the fashions prevalent in that city, we are now more than
ever in a position to give thorough satisfaction to the most fastidious

said: "No: I am glad. He was no
friend of Korea, and he is better
dead".

Stevens death will result m a
charge of murder being brought
against both Chang, who fired the
fatal shots and Chun, his accomplice,
who attacked Stevens as he alighted
from his automobile at the Ferry
Building.
Chun, who was wounded by a wild
shot from his companion's revolver,
is at the Lane hospital where it was
said last night that he was apparently
on the road to recovery.
BIGNAMI ARRESTED.
Federal Authorities Trying to Trace
The History of This Dangerous An
archist SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. 26.-One
of the first fruits of the search for an
archists in San Francisco undertaken
by the Immigration inspectors and
the police department in puruance of
the sweeping order issued by Oscar
S. Strauss, secretary of commerce
and labor, March 3, was the arrest
yesterday of Paul Bignami, a self
confessed anarchist by Detective
Rocca, who had been especially de
tailed by the chief of police.
Rocco found Bignami in a saloon
at Stockton and Union btreets.
Rocca learned that Bignami had been
addressing weekly meetings of anar
chists, advocating the destruction of
the government and the annihilation
of the navy. He placed the Presi
dent, minor heads of the government
and the police in the same category
and believed they should be done
away with. He also made boasts that
the police had no terrors for him,
and said that it would take at least
twenty blue coats to convey him to
any police station. Rocca heard him
say this, and laying his hand on Big
nami's shoulder,- placed him under
arrest. Bignami, suddenly losing the
thread of his crimson discourse, pick
ed up his hat and followed Rocca
with surprising meekness.
DISTRIBUTING ANARCHIST
CIRCULARS.
CHICAGO, March 26-Three boys
who were distributing circulars an
nouncing an anarchist's meeting to
morow were arrested by the police
in the ghetto last night. The bills

Knute Hansen would speak on "Hun-
ger. ine meeting win ne new, ac
cording to Mr. Nathanson, at Ma
thews' Hall, Miller and Taylor
streets, under the direction of the
Edelstadt Group.
INFANTILE DISEASE.
NEW YORK, Mar 26.-Epidemics
of infantile disease has caused the
i quarantining of four institutions for
jthe care of children in Brooklyn.
: Measles, scarlet! fever and chicken
pox are the prevalent maladies which
have forced the health authorities to
take charge of these institutions, all
of them crowded as a result of the
financial stringency. Supt. Goodhue,
of the bureau of dependent children
says that much of the sickness among
the little ones is due to a lack of
proper nourishment in the homes
from which they have come.
SO T GS
TO STUDY ESKIMOS
Harvard Instructor 90 to Arctic
Circle In Row Boat.'
NO WHITE MAN HAS VISITED
His Expedition Is Under the Aus
pices of the American Museum of
Natural History Mr. Steffansson
Speaks Eskimo Fluently.
NEW YORK, March 26.IIis
"healthy body and cheerful mind" are
the principal equipment to be used
by Vithjamir Steffansson, who is to
start in April in a row boat for the
Arctic circle to learn the ways of
Eskimo tribes no white man has
visited.
Money he will not require, but he
will carry a few files, needles and
butcher knives as gifts in return for
the hospitality which he expects to
receive. Une ntic,-a tew nsn noons
and nets and a suit of fur clothing
will be the sinews of the expedition.
Mr. Steffansson was formerly an in
structor at Harvard University, and
his coming expedition is under the
auspices of the American Museum of
Natural History.
The expense of getting to the Mac
kenzie river, where he expects to find
a row boat, is to be advanced by the
institution. The museum will publish
his report, and if it is possible to
bring them out of the inaccessible
country it will obtain whatever
ethnological specimens Mr. Steffans
son may gather. The young explor
er is of Icelandic birth and speaks
the Eskimo language fluently. He
will live on the country and what he
can trap. He will start late in AP"
from Edmonton, Alberta, and expect
to travel 1,800 miles in the row boat.
DRIFTED ROUND CAPE HORN.
NEW YORK, Mar. 2S.-Her cap
tain telling a tale of having drifted
all the way around Cape Horn from
San Francisco, the American full rig
ged ship Wm. P. Frye made port
yesterday. The Frye, says her skip
per, never shipped a drop of water
until four days ago when she ran into
a smart northeastern off Cape Henry.
Otherwise the voyage was a succes
sion of light and baffling winds
and dead calms. "Its the first time
in my sixty odd voyages around Cape
Horn that I ever saw such weather,"
said Capt. Murphy. His matc.IIer
man R. Smith of Seattle, backed up
the captain's story of the placid voy
age by the exhibition of the mute but
veracious evidence of the ships log
book.
NEW YORK TO GENOA.
NEW YORK, Mar. 26. Carle De
Peloggie, an enthusiastic Italian
yachtman, is going to make an at
tempt to cross the Atlantic in a 24
foot sail boat. The start will be
made from New York harbor on July
I and the ultimate destination is to
be Genoa, Italy. The daring task
that Mr. De Peloggie will undertake
is the outcome of a wager between
him and the Marquis Zanottc, of
Rome.
Tljese two yachtmen have long
been rivals in Mediterranean races,
and Mr. Paloggie made the assertion
that he thought it possible to cover
the long expanse of ocean between
here and the birth place of America's
discoverer, the Marquis offered to
make the bet that he would find it
too difficult a proposition for a boat
of s osmall dimensions to navigate
the long stretch. Mr. De Peloggie
will be accompanied on his trip by
only one person. His partner will
probably be the Viscount de Le
mouinior of Paris.
Although there is no time limit set
by the Marquis Zanotte for the ac
complishment of the trip the young
sailor says that with favorable weath
er conditions he is confident of mak
ing the port of Genoa in 40 days from
the time of starting.
Given up to Die.
B. Spiegel, 1204 N. Virginia street,
Evansville, Ind., writes: "For over
five years I was troubled with kidney
and bladder affections which caused
me much pain and worry. I lost flesh
and was all run down, and a year ago
had to abandon work entirely. I had
three of the best physicians who did
me no good and I was practically
given up to die. Foley's Kidney Cure
was recommended and the first bottle
gave me great relief, and after taking
the second bottle I was entirely
cured." Why not let it help you? :
