was filed by Recorder Charles Folmer at
the courthouse today which caused a
sensation. It is a deed of adoption by
which Charlie Sing, a Chinaman, and

ment. They agree that the boy’s name
shall become Roy Soo Sing, that Charlie
Sing shall be his father and in return
the boy becomes the legal heir of thfe
Chinaman. The latter is American in all
his habits and is noted for his Fourth of

New York, Aug. 24.—For the first time
since the strike of telegraph operators
I began, National President Small has con-
fided to the officers of the local union
what he was doing to handle the strike.
It was not a campaign of war he mapped
out to the local leaders, but rather a way
to bring about peace. He. sent a tele-
gram explaining he was preparing a plan
to be submitted soon, to the locals of the
country by which a committee thoroughly
representative of the union would come to
New York and treat with the companies
when the proper time for arbitration
should arrive.
President Ahearn of the New York local
said Small’s object was to -get a commit-
tee that would represent the commercial
telegraphers of every section of the
United States and Canada. That -was
deemed wise. Ahearn pointed out, in view
of the assertions by officers of the tele-

Inspector in Charge Holman stated to a

clear up the entire list before nightfall.
Mr. Holman further stated that it was
possible that those ordered deported today
would be put aboard the steamer Han-
nover, at present in port, thus relieving
the steamship company of double duty in
guarding the aliens until the vessel sails.

should carry at least a 12-hours supply of
oil fuel at or adjacent to its power house,
because accidents are liable to happen any
time, especially where the oil storage tank
is a half mile or so from the power house.
“All oil men will admit that we some-
times get hold of a bad lot of oil and
sometimes get water in it,” said a well
known oil man, “but a little water in the
oil can. be quickly remedied. Not long
ago a leaky barge en. route from Port
Arthur to Galveston with 5000 gallons of
oil had 6000 gallons when it reached here.
After standing 24 hours or so the water
can be pumped off.
“The street railway or Galveston Elec-
tric company has its oil storage tank on
17th street and avenue A. This is con-
nected with the power house on 20th
street and avenue I by a two-inch pipe.
It is natural to suppose that a pipe carry-
ing oil will corrode, especially if not kept
cleaned out and in good repair. This pipe
was laid about Six or seven years ago
and was intended to supply two or three
boilers and it is a well known fact that
the street railway company has greatly
increased its facilities since then. I un-
derstand the tank and the pip.e line has
not been cleaned for a long time and ’t
is absurd to depend upon such facilities
to keep a big plant supplied with oil fuel.
The pipe is above ground and a few years
ago a heavy freeze put it out of business.
The company has an air pump which is
operated from the power house to the
tank 12 or 13 blocks away. The company
should have at least a 12-hours supply at
the power house all the time as this pipe
line is in bad condition.
“The Brush company’s storage tank is
located on Church street, between 32d and
33d streets. It has an electric pump at
the tank but when the power house shut
down it shut down the pump.

this can be quickly remedied i^ the plant
has proper facilities for taking care of its
liquid fuel.”

This company claimed there was too
much water in the oil end it would not
burn. Oil wagons had to be dispatched to
the power house with oil and for-over two
hours the electric cars were cold and the'

BALLOON ASCENSION AT 8 P. M.
The North German Lloyd steamer Chem-
nitz reached here from Bremen early to-
day with 540 passengers on board, 95 trav-
eling in the saloon. The liner approached.
Galveston harbor late last night and
shortly after midnight anchor was dropped
just outside the bar. At 6 a. m. the ves-
sel moved up to the quarantine station,
and by 8.30 the vessel was moored at the
regular landing at pier 29. Landing was
begun immediately, and at 11.30 every pas-
senger on board had passed down
gangplank.
When the Chemnitz steamed up the
channel this morning <to her moorings her ;
flags were loweied with respect to an
American citizen whose death occurred at
sea yesterday at 11.30 a. m. The person
was the wife of Mr. Henry Watzlavzik,
a wealthy and well known citizen of San
Antonio. The body was taken from the
vessel and will be .shipped to the Alamo
city this afternoon.
Mr. and,Mrs. Watzlavzik went abroad
last June,staking passage on the steamer
Chemnitz. The trip was made for the
SOME NEW ATTRACTIONS WILL BE ANNOUNCED in a’FEW DAYS' benefit of the lady’s health, and when a
cure Was believed to have been effected in
a leading sanitarium in Europe, the home-
ward voyage was undertaken. While
nearing Galveston -the lady grew very ill
and succunibed to her ailments as stated
above.
The work so far of handling the immi-
grants has been done with care and dis-
patch. Dr. Corput, United States marine
surgeon, turned over 100 in the detention
pen and a large percentage of those held
for a second examination will doubtless
be deported. The number of suspicious
cases this trip is very great, and a large
number of persons having poor physique
and otherwise failing to come up 'to the
standard demanded by the immigration
laws of this country will be returned to
the countries from whence they came.
Luckily there are pa measles cases re-
ported this time, though 'three children
were sent to the hospital on account of
scarlet fever. About eight others who
were infected were also taken to the
hospi'tal, but as a general rule aliens suf-
fering from such are quite easily picked
out and-held up without, further trouble.
Boor phystique will probably be the
cause for more deportations than any
other thing attending the present arrivals.
■Some cripples and persons otherwise
maimed and entirely undesirable as im-
migrants in this country according to the
laws governing such will also, be included
in those debarred.
A Russian of perhaps 20 years attempt-
ed to put up a clear case of deception
on Dr. Corput when it came Ids turn to
.pass the critical examination after com-
ing ashore. The alien was wearing'a long
overcoat, and such a garment in hot
weather attracted the- attention of Uncle
Sam’s surgeon, and as he approached it
was noted that the alien limped on one
foot. Dr. Corput pulled the overcoat open
and discovered that the man had a crip-
pled leg and the knee was over a foot out
of line with the other member of his
body. He was marked “hold” and will be
deported. Following him came an old
man with one eye as white as cotton.
For the reason that he hasn’t two good
■ eyes, he, too, will not be allowed to land.
Dozens of other like cases 'are passed
upon with every arrival and It very well
illustrated the precaution exercised in
keeping out of this country persons who
would be likely to fall'into 'the hands of
charity.
Th^re were not more than 20 homeseek-
ers With the arrivals today, evidencing the
fact that most of the aliens had provided
themselves with through passage. There
were about 75 Jewish immigrants taken in
charge by the local information bureau.
These will be sent out to several points
in Texas, including Dallas, Houston, Wa-
co, Tyler and many sections of Kansas-
sas, Missouri and other states in that
part of the southwest. Personally seeing
after the Jews today was Dr. David M.
Bressler of New York, secretary of the
national Jewish immigration bureau. Sec-
retary Bressler came here yesterday and
he is elated over the success the Galves-
ton branch of the society is making. Mr.
William Waldstein, in charge of the Dal-
las branch of the society, is also here
interesting himself in the work. Mr.
Waldstein will take several of today’s ar-
rivals to Dallas and secure for them em-
ployment in their lines of trade.
The officers of the Chemnitz report a
fair passage, and with the exception of
an immigrant child who died while cross-
ing the Atlantic and the death of one of

Jackson, Miss., Aug. 24.—Sufficient
returns are in to assure the nomination
of Senator E. F. Noel of Holmes county*,
for governor over Earl F. Brewer of
Coahoma county, but the majority will
be under 2000. Senator Noel’s friends,
are claiming it by 2500, and Mr. Brew*
er’s friends are waiting for complete
returns from a few of the backwoods
counties which, they figure, will turn-
the tables.
This is the second primary or run off^

Oklahoma City, Ok., Aug. 24.—Amid tha
blare of brass bands, the stirring strains
of martial music, and the huzzas of en-
thusiastic crowds, Secretary Taft reached
this city today for the purpose of speak-
ing at the formal opening of the Repuo-
lican state campaign. The speech-making
takes place tonight in Convention hall,
but a parade, reception and other features
made the entire day one of interest.
Secretary Taft was met at the depot by
a special reception committee and escort-
ed to the Threadgill hotel, where an in-
formal reception was held, hundreds of
Republicans calling to shake him by ths
hand.
Tonight’s demonstration, in point of
numbers and enthusiasm, promises to far
out-rank any demonstration of like char-
acter ever held in this section. All morn-
ing great crowds of people from the sur-
rounding country poured into the city,
while every train brought in large num-
bers from all over the two territories.
Practically every Republican leader oi
prominence, is here, including all of the
candidates for state office.
Oklahoma City expected a big crowd
and had prepared to entertain. The en-
tire business portion of the city is hand-

are
charged by President Small with trying to
stir up dissension and break the strike.
The strike leader declared today that
these secret agents of the companies were
responsible for stampeding the operators
when they first went on strike, and that
they afterwards tried through sending out
fake telegrams to stampede the railroad
telegraphers.
“Having failed to stampede the railroad
operators, these dangerous spies are now
trying to create trouble over the payment
of strike benefits,” said Mr. Small today.
“I have had men watching their move-
ments and can prove that they were in-
terested in stampeding our members
when the strike occurred two weeks ago.
I have cautioned our members against
them, but they are working secretly and
insidiously trying to disrupt our organiza-
tion.”
President Small will leave for New York
Saturday, but he said his mission is not
one of peace. He will not make any el-
fort to see the head officials of the tele-
graph companies, as he says he is well
satisfied with the present strike situation.
The telegraph companies assert that
business is improving with each day.
“Ask the bankers and commercial
houses whether we are doing business,”
said Superintendent Cook of the Western
Union today. “It is true, we haven’t
opened the branch offices, which are
maintained only as a matter of conven-
ience to our patrons. We can get along
without the branch offices, which means
reduction of at least 150 operators in
our working force.”
At the offices of the Postal company
Superintendent Capen said he was too
busy to talk about the strike.
‘‘If we didn’t read the newspapers we
would hardly know there was a strike,”
he £aid.
Union officials claimed that 14 nonunion
operators left the Western Union com-
pany. today and that others were ready
to follow them. The reports receive!
from other cities showed that the tele-
graph companies were using the mails
and in some instances the express com-
panies for the delivery of telegrams. One
such report from Cleveland, received at
the uinon headquarters, gave a list of the
messages which the Western Uniop had
sent out from Aug. 13 to Aug. 20, show-
ing they were from one to two days be-
hind time. The report stated that the

St. Petersburg, Aug. 24.—Father John
of Cronstadt, who was one of the three
best known men in Russia 10 years ago
and to whom every morning gifts of
money streamed from every part of the
empire,- has lost his fame and his popu-
larity has now almost vanished,

John has aged rapidly in recent years
and in an interview the other day said:
“I am an old broken man and very ill.
I have to live on porridge and pearl bar-
ley soup with tea. My sole remaining
pleasure is the daily service at church,
when I forget to tell my troubles.”
The church authorities here rejoice
greatly at the priest’s downfall, for he
has been a thorn in their sides ever since
his fame went abroad throughout the
land and thereby made Cronstadt the
Mecca of Russia. Were Father John 25
years younger he might come forward
