"I know tho Influences which nro

timent," declared Chalrnmn Now. "It
was pnrt of a pre-arranged plan
which brought Leo hero via Now
York. Up to tho tlmo ho loft Inl

"My friendship for President Taft

SRYS HE'S MESSHH; I
BULLETS FAIL TD
MQTffirjO
John Jesse James Jeffries Auqust
Fred Tlmms, Who Claims to Be
Messiah, Stops Bullet With His
Shoulder Without Injury.
Tho fact that three shots were
fired at him from close raiiRC this
moraine;, two of tho bullets passing
through bis cott, ono being stopped
by his shoulder without doinjj greater
damage than to leave a black and
blue sHit, loads some color to the
claim of John Jc.-jse James Jeffrios
August Fred Timm', who is repos
ing in Hie city bastile, that he is the
Messiah, and that ho is here for the
whole puriHisc of saviiif tho entire
world from Satan and his demons.
All of which seems rathor vaguo and
involved, needing an explanation. And
on tho explanation hangs n tale.
Chief of Police Hittsou wns called
tin morning by tho ice plant nt tho
southern end of the local Southern
Pacific railroad yards and informed
that a shooting affray had just oc
curred in that neighborhood. "The
mini who was shot is now on bis way
up town," stated tho voieo over tho
telephone. So tlio chief got busy and
soon met John, etc. Timms coining
down tho track. Though tho shoulder
of his coat were bents whore bullets
had torn their way, and Timms was
carrying ono of tho louden pellets
which had torn through his coat and
stopped on his shoulder whoro ap
peared a largo bruise. Timms said ho
had been shot by ono of tho "gobbos"
or "Imps of Saton."
On being taken to tho city jail
Timms begun a woird talo. He told
tho chief coufidontnlly that bo wag
tho Mossiah and that ho wns hero to
route Satan and his demons. Hut ho
insisted that hu hud been shot at
three times hut is uualilo to describe
his assailant. After a lengthy ex
amination tho police aro inclined to
heliovo bis story of being shot hut
have no cluo ns to his assailant.
Among1 other srntumvirts '4'uiuns
made this morning was that ho, as tho
Messiah, had charged James J. Jeff
ries to carry on his work. "Hut two
years ago," he said "Jeffries proved
unfaithful to his trust."
Timms states that ho was cruci
fied 1011 years ago at I.ihhy prison.
Ho will ho taken to Jacksonville this
afternoon and probably committed to
the stato asylum for tho insane.

Impossible to Launch Life Boats
GIBRALTAR, Dec. 12. The
British btenmor Delhi, aboard of
which were tho Duke and Duchess of
Fife, Princess Alexandra and Princ
ess Maud, went ashore near Cape
Trafalgar in a fiorco gnlo early to
day and is now boing pounded to
piocos by heavy sens. All passen
gers have been rescued, the French
cruiser Briant bnviiig succeeded in
reaching the ship after lifobonts had
failed and hopo was almost aband
oned. Tho government sought to land sol
diers with lifosaving apparatus on
tho coast near tho wreck, but the
high seas prevented the men from
getting nshoro. It was then that the
captain of the French warship -look
tho ono chauco loft nud managed to
accomplish what seemed an impossi
bilitv.
Whilo a wild gnlo was raging this
morning nud tlio const was hidden in
heavy fog, tho Delhi ran aground.
Sho wns bound for Kgypt and her
passenger list included tho names of
ninny Americans. Women and elul
dron abonrd wore numerous. When
sho ran nfehorc tho passengers were
on tho vorgo of panic whon thoy wore
bold in uhook by tho promiso Hint
lifeboats could easily be launchud
But when tliio wns uttompted it fail

sers Duko of r-Minburgh and Wey
mouth wore off Capo Spartoln at tho
time. They iumiodintoly started for
the scone, but the storm prevented
them reaching tho Delhi in timo to
be of nny nsi&tnnce. While tho crui
sors were doiug their bout to roach
tho Delhi sho was being pounded to
pieces by tho mountains of water
swooping her decks. And tlio pass
engers wore becoming dosperate. The
Duko of Fife assisted tho officers io
quell their four and they were as
surod that they would bo taken off.
Roekots woro fired all night and it
was this signalling that attracted the
rescuers. When the Briant attempt

tako tho passengers off tho seas
threatened to enwh the cruiser and
stoamor together. By horoio moas
