SLANDER IS CHARGED
Latest Developments in the
Spreckeis Family Bow. J
DAMAGES ASKED FOR BY A SON
Ksw Sol Mainly Brought to Claar Him
self of th Ctairsei Made by
Bla Father.'
San Feancisco, April 4. The row' in
the Spreckeis family has reached a some
what sensational stage. Young "Gas"
Spreckeis filed a complaint, in the su
perior court this morning charging his
father Claus Spreckeis, with slander.
This charge grows oat of the suits re
. cently begun by the two younger Spreck
eis brothers against their father and
two older brothers to recover valuable
stock in the Spreckeis Hawaiian sugar
business and Oceanic Steamship com
pany. The suit involving the Oceanic Steam
ship company was recently brought by
Gus Spreckeis, who inaugurated man
damus proceedings to compel the direc
tors of the company to call an annual
meeting. He alleged that by refusing to
do so they , were, keeping him out of his
representation on the board of directors.
After this suit was filed Claus Spreck
eis, in a newspaper interview, said some
very rough things about his younger
sons. He practically charged Gus with
the embezzlement of $250,000 in 1891,
while managing the Spreckeis sugar re'
finery in Philadelphia. The father also
charged that the suit against the Oceanic
Steamship Company was simply "a
' piece of blackmail," by which the
younger brothers were trying to beat
-fcimoutof $2,000,000. The father also
alleged that Gus had wasted his money,
would soon be a bankrupt, and "would
die in the gutter."
As a result of all this alleged defama
tion, young Spreckeis complains that
his reputation and business prospects
have been damaged many . thousand
dollars. In his complaint he recites that
he has actually been damaged to the ex
tent of $2,000,000, but that it is not
. money that he wants. ' He therefore
sues for $300, damages, a nominal sum,
as his desire is simply to clear himself of
the charges which his' father has so
publicly made against him.
Nicaragua Canal Commission to Beg-In
Work at Once.
Washington, April 4. It is expected
the Nicaraguan canal commission will
Btart for Nicaragua within two weeks, ai
it is realized the time at its disposal is
short when the work to be done is con
sidered. Major Ludlow probably will
be president of the commission by virtue
of his brevet rank of colonel. He is in
London on duty as a military attache of
the American embassy and it is believed
his thorough acquaintance ' with the
British view of the canal project will be
of value to the commission.
He will be instructed by cable to take
the first steamer to the United States
and come to Washington. The com mis
sion will organize an outline of its plans
of operations, then go to New York
where a thorough examination will be
made of the details for the survey of the
.canal, with the purpose of saving time
and work in the field. Returning to
Washington, the commission will receive
formal instructions from the secretary of
state, then proceed to Mobile and sail on
the United States steamer Montgomery
for Grevtown, at the eastern terminus of
.the canal.
The season will not be well suited to
field wora, as there is always an abun
dance of rain to be expected in the sum
mer months, and the party will have to
rough it principally 'on the east side.
where swamp angles are impassable on
horseback and there are no roads. . The
canal company, however, is doing what
Highest of ail in L,eavemng Power.
it can to facilitate the labors of the com-
mission and has already eent orders to
Greytown to pat laborers at work chop
ping away the jangles from the canal
roate. It is believed that with average
weather the commission can complete
the ronte to Nicaragua -in about two
months, and be back in the United
States ready to begin the compilation of
its reports which mast be ready by next
November.

Bow the
Rock Island Robbery Was
' . ; C Bzecnted.
Hennessy, Okla., April 4. Two rob
bers boarded J,he engine as Rock Island
train No. 1 was leaving Dover at 11:30
last night," and covering the engineer and
fireman,' commanding them, to stop
about 200 yards from the. water-tank.
The engineer, who was a little excited,
went about a fourth of a mile before
stopping. One of the robbers fired at
him just missing him, and the ball
went through the cab window.
Conductor James Mack, not having
heard the shot, started to find out what
was wrong, and was covered as he ap
proached the engine and told to climb
in the engine. They robbed him, and
were then joined by the others, who had
come up to the train.
A demand was made for Express Mes
senger Jones . to open his door. This
was refused, and a fusillade followed, in
which the messenger was wounded in
the wrist. ; He attempted to escape from
the opposite side of the car, but was cap
tured by the guard on that side and
made to crawl under the train. An at
tempt was then made to open the safe,
but nothing could be done.
Then the robbers proceeded to rob the
passengers. . .. .. t; '. ,.
When the train arrived at Kingfisher,
Sheriff Burtch and United States Mar
shal Madsen were notified and carried to
the scene of the hold-up by a special
train. They found the trail about four
miles west of Dover, where Cimarron
river had been crossed, and are still fol
lowing it.. The robbers are supposed to
be led by Dickey Eager, an outlaw, who
has headquarters in the Cheyene country.
It. the posse comes up with the robbers
a fight will probably occur.
. P. A.'s Mow Control Police and PI.
' Department!.
New Yobk, April 4. The Sun's Lin
coln, Neb., special says : "The legisla
ture passed over the governor's veto,
yesterday, a bill which places the Omaha
police , and fire . departments - in the
hands of the American Protective Asso
ciation, and which will rejult in the dis
charge of almost every Roman Catholic
in either department. The administra
tion of the affairs of the police and fire
departments ot Omaha is in the bands
of the board of fire and police com
missioners, of four members. These ar9
appointed by the governor.
The legislature passed a measure plac
ing the appointment of these men in the
bands of the governor. The two latter
are blattant members of the A. P. A. ard
can easily override the governor's wishes.
Governor Holcomb, on Monday, vet
oed the bill and the veto came up for
consideration yesterday afternoon. All
the A. P. A. leaders in the state were on
band, and money was displayed '.con
stantly. The bill passed the house with
two votes, to spare and was fashed over
to the senate and passed at 6 :30 p. m.,
also, by the majority of two. It is
rumored : that Chief Seavey, of the
Omaha police force, who is not a. Catho
lic, will resign at once, and a thorough
demoralization of the. police force and
fire department is imminent. All the
leading Omaha business men have de
nounced the new law.

that at 11:50 last night, 20 rods west of

twelve shots through the door, wounding

the baggageman in the wrist.
The robliers then broke down the
door with a sledge, but did not get any
plunder from the baggage car. .-They
hurriedly proceeded through the smoker
and one of the day coaches, securing
about $300 from the passengers, six re
volvers and a number of watches and
rings. Passengers in the sleepers were
not disturbed.
The robbers were last seen from the
train going west from Dover, all mount
ed, the leader being upon a mettlesome
gray horse.

The-readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Hall's Cure is the only posi
tive care known to the medical frater
nity. Catarrh being a constitutional
disease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken in
ternally, acting directly .upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and as
sisting nature in. doing its work. The

fails to cure, end for list of testimo
