MISSIONARY HAS
TERRIBLE ORDEAL
Frozen and Famished Dr.
Wilfred Grendfell Fights
Dogs for Forty Hours.
St. John, N. B., Juno G—Out of the
barren, frozen'coast of Labrador has
come a story of combat against death
that is only credible because of the
fact that with it comes Dr. Wilfred
Grenfell, a celebrated missionary, |
who is the victor in the combat and ,
who wounded and all but dead ar
rived here this morning. Freezing, l
hunger and the sharp teeth of starv
ing dogs all combined against the
life of Dr. Grenfell but with a cour- |
age and fortitude unsurpassed be will j
probably come out victor, probably, j
because he is not yet out of danger, j
A month ago Dr. Grenfell started:
on a long journey across the snow ;
alone save for bis dog team. The j
second day it began to storm and |
from then on it was one constant'
struggle against fearful odds. His j
food supply was only sufllcient for!
the few days ordinarily consumed in •
making the trip and it was soon gone.
The thermometer dropped to 10 de
grees below zero and finally the dogs
refused to travel.
As best he coidd Dr. Grenfell made
a camp and endeavored to infuse
some life into bis dogs by feeding
them leather, st ripped from the sledge
and harness and then boiled. The!
missionary was almost done for by !
bis terrible exertions and more terri- j
ble suffering and seemingly realizing i
this the famishing dogs attacked him.
Armed only with a knife the half dead
man fought for forty hours with the
frenzied animals.
lie was victor but at fearful cost
for his flesh was torn in shreds and
his clothing nearly stripped from his
body by the fangs of his assailants.
When the last dog was dead, the mis
sionary cut off the legs and lashed
them together end to end making a
pole on which ho hung a rag and
sticking his improvised stall into the
snow he crawled into his robes and
fainted.
A few hours later the fluttering rag
was seen by a party of natives who
eared for Dr. Grenfell, finally getting
him to civilization. Except for the
slight substinancc gained by chewing
leather the missionary was without
food for ten days.
DEATH PREFERRED
TO PENITENTIARY
Now York, Juno 5—Realizing that
his peculations had boon discovered j
and lacking courage to face tho legal j
consequences, Cashie.i Miller of the:
Corn Exchange committed suicide in
a spectacular manner this morning.
Miller's shortage is more than $1,000,- I
000 according to the confession he
left before blowing out his brains in a
vault into which he went for the ap
parent purpose of getting a paper to
explain matters In (lie directors of (he
bank.
For some time t he directors have
been convinced that there was some
thing wrong with the finances of the
institution and this morning they
summoned Miller before them. They
made no charges but stated that there
was an apparent shortage and asked
him to explain it., lie asked to be
excused while he went into t he vault
to get a deposit slip that he said
would show everything to be all
right. He had been gono only a
few minutes when a clerk rushed Into
the directors crying that the cashier
had shot himself.
Miller was dead when t he directors
entered the vault and on a shelf was
his hurridly written confession of
embezzlement and the announcement
that he was going to take Ids own
llfo.
One hundred tons per day of coal
from the McDonald mines, on Merlng
lake, could be shipped now, accord
ing to the report of O. VV. Winckler,
and this coidd bo Increased to 250 per
day soon.
A twenty-st amp mill Is being placed
on the Nat Goodwin pro|»erty at Uyak,
Kodiak Island.

DOLPHIN'S PURSER
FEARS DYNAMITER
Baggage of Treadwell Em-i
ployment Agent Held Up
for Investigation.
Seattle, June 5—Fearing that the
baggage of L. S. Humes, employment
agont of the Treadwell Mining Com
pany, contained dynamite the purser
of the steamship Dolphin this morn
ing refused to allow the articles to
come aboard the ship. Humes argued |
and expostulated but the purser, who
did not know the employment agent
was firm and it seemed that the
steamship would depart without i
Hume's belongings. At an opportune
moment, however, someone chanced '
along who knew both Humes and the
purser and the dilllculty was adjusted. !
The purser had been warned that I
members of the Western Federation
of Miners were plot ting to smuggle
dynamite aboard the Dolphin for the
purpose of blowing her up, their rea
son being that she is carrying a large j
number of men to take the places of i
Treadwell strikers, andalso to go into
the Tenana. Representatives of the
Federation have been using all man
ner of methods in attempts to prevent
the strikebreakers going to Alaska
and it is believed that the threat to
blow up the Dolphin was made in
earnest.
FORTUNE GOMES
FOR DEAD MAN
Spokane, June f>—Twenty years ago
Charles Morehouse of this city was
grubstaked by Matt Brown, a negro.
Today Morehouse returned with £10,
000 which he had intended placing in
Brown's hands as compensation for
the grubstake, but Brown is dead and I
the whereabouts of his relatives, if lie
has any, are unknown.
Morehouse was flat broke when he
borrowed a small sum of money from I
Brown, who was the only one of all
his acquaintances who would let him
have any. Morehouse drifted from
one place to the other winding up in
the South Sea Islands where lu; final
ly became possessed of a copra plan
tation. It is a part of the profit from
this that he brought to Brown.
SYNDICATE FINDS
MANY EASY DDPES
Chicago, June 8—Chicago has for
years been the headquarters of a
syndicate having as its purpose swind
ling the charitably inclined, accord
ing to the disclosure made public to
day by the police department. The
entire United States has been the
Held of operations of the syndicate
and it is estimated that the profits
have averaged $1,200 a day.
The organization has had represen
tatives in every city of importance in
the country and its operations have
been carried on with a system t hat, is
said to be the equal of any in force in
the management of a big business
concern. Printed matter has been
furnished the agents and they have
also been supplied with faked or
forged credentials.
The method was to solicit financial
assistance, presumably for the pur
pose of aiding the aged and feeble
but every cent ho obtained went to
fatten the coffers of the syndicate.
The agents were paid a commission
and It. is said that in some cases these
latter were innocent of the character
of the business in which they were
engaged, believing that it was in the
nature of an assurance concern. The
organization has been operating for
six yoars but its heads evidently
became aware of the police investi
gations for when the time was deemed
ripe to make arrests they had I
vanished.
EXTRA SESSION IN
CASE DEMOCRATS WIN
Washington, June 5 -If the demo
crats win the presidential election
President Roosevelt will call an extra
session of congress to dispose of the
tariff revision question. This Is the
announcement made today by Con
gressman Payne who says that the
federal commission appointed to con
sider the tariff matter will not meet
this summer, as was flrst intended.
ny frlondn of tariff revision this de
cision Is declared to savor of a desire
to dodge the issue at present and to
perhaps defeat all efforts to want de
sired action In case of republican suc
cess at the polls.
TREASURY ORDER
ALARMS BANKERS
Seattle Financiers Fear Pay
ing Coin for Gold Dust
Will Lose Business.
Seattle, Juno 5—Bankers of this
city are alarmed at the order of the
treasury department providing that
assay ollices must pay gold coin for
all gold dust deposits. The bankers
say that this will result in much Al
aska gold going direct to tho San
Francisco mint and further that it
will force them to a large expense in
shipping gold coin into Seattle for
payments, as the order permits the
assayer to draw on depositaries.
The hankers held a meeting last
night ami have wired a resolution to
t he president asking relief from tho
conditions feared if the treasury de
partment, order goes into effect.
ELOPEMENT ENDS
WITH IN IN JAIL
Scuttle, June 6—Charles Sharp, ail
accountant of this city is in jail in
Newark, New Jersey and the news of
arrest reaching here this morning has
liberated from the secrecy in which
it lias been slumbering for weeks the
story of mystery as to the where
abouts of the wife of George Temple,
prominent business and society man.
Few knew Sharp and so bis absence
has gone unnoticed.
Sharp, however, is the person re
sponsible for the disappearance of
Mrs. Temple for she ran away with
liiin after he had forged her husband's
name to drafts totalling §1,700. Tem
ple reported tlie forgery to the police
but it is not known whether or not he
told them of his wife's elopement.
This fact became public when Sharp
was arrested for she was wit h him at
the time.
Mrs. Temple is a daughter of Major
Reno the famous indian lighter who
was with Custer. She has always oc
cupied a prominent position socially
and not by the widest sweep of im
agination could her friends have con
ceived of her doing what she has
done. How she became acquainted
with Sharp is not known.
The deserted husband refuses to
discuss the affair so far an his wife's
connection with it is concerned but
contents himself with tersely declar
ing that ho will make Sharp pay the
penalty of his forgery.
BRIBERY CHARGES
IN OREGON EIGHT
Portland, Juno H—The livening Tel
egram this afternoon will publish
charges of bribery in connection with
the senatorial fight in this state, and
will state that three members of the
legislature have been offered money
to defeat Governor Chamberlain.
Under the state primary law a
member of the legislature is morally
obligated to elect to the senate the
man who gains t he majority of votes
at the direct primaries. The members
of the legislature are pledged to do
this but should they go contrary to
this pledge there is nothing to pre
vent sending other than the people's
choice to the senate. Gov. Chamber
lain won decisively from (Jake at the
primaries but ho is opposed by the
political ring and much credence is
placed in the bribery story.

PARTING EMBRACE
DELAYS STEAMER
Belated Husband Wants to
Kiss Wife Who Is Pas
senger on the Umatilla.
Seattle, June 6—A good-bye kiss
exchanged before tli*» admiring sight
of cheering hundreds marked a his
tory making episode in the sailing of
the steamship Umatilla yesterday af
ternoon. Probably never before has
a steamship delayed its scheduled de
parture for so long as thirty minutes
in order that a husband might kiss his
wife farewell, but this is what the
Umatilla did and did at the earnest
demand of every passenger.
"All ashore tliats going ashore"
had been called up and down the ves
sel ami the last of these bidding fare
well to friends and relatives about to
depart for Nome had descended the
gangplank when a breathless man
charged through the crowd and fought
his way aboard the t'matilla calling
wildly for "Emily." It took consid
erable time for the Umatilla's otlicers
to find out what was wanted but at
last it developed that the man is V.
Khallit and that "Emily" is his
wife and that he was late and wanted
to kiss her before she sailed.
"Find Kmily" was the cry of the
passengers and then for thirty min
utes the Umatilla paused at her pier
while otlicers and passengers searched
for "Emily." She was finally found
and hurried to the awaiting embrace
of her husband who after one fond,
lingering kiss was hustled onto the
wharf and the Umatilla pulled into
the stream her siren joining with the
crowd in bidding hood bye to the hus
band who stood waving at the little
woman held upon the rail bv enthu
siastic fellow passengers."
HOSPITAL BURNS
AND PATIENTS DIE
Indianapolis, Jnne (>—St. Vincent
hospital is in ruins and the ruins arc
ablaze, live ot her buildings are demol
ished and it is known that many per
sons arc dead as the result of the ex
plosion this morning of the Presto
lile gas station in this city. There
were more than 100 patients in St.
Vincent and how many of these
arc in the blazing ruins it is yet im
possible to determine. So far the
rescuers have found ten bodies.
The explosion occurred shortly af
ter noon and blazing tanks of gas
were hurled for a distance of three
blocks. The concussion shook the
buildings to pieces and tlie^asignited
the ruins. So far the lire department
has succeeded in confining the lire to
the wreck of the hospital but there is
danger of its spreading.
It is impossible to do anything to
ward saving those who were patients
of the institution, but it is believed
that some of t hem were laken out be
fore the tire started.
