gram was received in this city last
night giving notice of the resigna-
tion of Theodore A. Havemeyer as

five years. The cablegram an-
nounced further that Mr. Have-
meyer’s successor Franz Stocking-

PUBLIEHBO AT SAN ANTONIO. BEXAR COUNTY TEXAS AND REOISIERED AT THE POST OFFICE AS SECOND CLASS MAIL MATTER.
New York Dec. 5.—A special to
a local paper from Boston says:
Lieut. Chester M. White of the
revenue marine service makes a
statement with regard to the
trouble on the cutter Bear on the
• Pacific station and the charges
against Capt. Healy.
■ “In the first place” he said “I
did not prefer charges against
Capt. Healey and would not now
desire to say anything except in
- praise of him. Ido not think that
; the Captain had a firmer friend in
the service than I have been and
still am. I left San Francisco on
1 account of him principally be-
i cause 1 did not aesire to testify at
i any hearing that may be held on
the charges.
“The first charges were made by
1 Lieut. Daniels and tn them he al-
leged drunkenness tyranny and
abusive conduct on the cruise. I
have learned that Lieut. Emery
the senior lieutenant made charges
based upon the Captain’s actions
at San Francisco. In neither case
did I have anything to do with
the charges. The two lieutenants
making them had been attached to
the Bear only a year. I have been
on the cutter on the Pacific station
four years. I was the navigating
officer and I was not transferred at
the end of mv three years service
but assigned again on the Bear on
special duty as navigating officer
because Captain Healey wrote to
have me retained. I left San Fran-
cisco on November 15th within 24
hours after the Bear got into port.
I did not care to testify against
the captain and I supposed that
my evidence would be important
to the man who had made the
charges against the captain be-
cause I bad been under him so
long and knew more about him
than tney did. The only way I saw
out of it was to resign from the ser-
vice. I had received an offer from a
large Chicago house to enter com-
mercial life and do business
for them in Alaska. I thought it a
good opportunity and coming
at this time it made my decision
to resign on account of the charge
against Capt. Healey more easily
arrived at. Just before leaving
San Francisco I telegraphed to
the department at Washington re-
signing and asking them to send
an acceptance to Chicago. Ordi-
narily. resignations from the reve-
nue service are accepted and I
waited four days in Chicago to
bear about my request to be re-
lieved. Then I went to Washing-
ton and saw Assistant Secretary
Hamlin and Capt. Shoemaker
chief of the revenue marine divis-
ion. I talked with them about my
resignation and they both tola
me that on account of the
charges which had been preferred
against Captain Healey and inas-
much as I was the navigating offi-
cer of the Bear the department
did not wish to accept my resigna-
tion. I then received orders to re-
port on the Dallas stationed at
Boston and obeyed them. Before
I left Washington I got leave of
absence until December 6 at which
time I was to report on board the
Dallas. As I feel that an injunc-
tice has been done me in the state-
ment that I preferred charges
against Captain Healey and the
whole affair looks to me like an
attempt to force me out of the ser-
vice. 1 will go on duty on board
the Dallas December 6 but I sup-
pose that in the course of a month
I shall be ordered back to San
Francisco on account of the charges
pending against Captain Healey.”

Denver Col. Dec. s.—Charles
Murphy the L. A. W. rider w-ho
was recently permanently sus-
pended by the chairman of the
racing board and his trainer Wil-
liam Young are in Denver en
route to the east where they will
take steps toward securing a re-
instatement. Murphy claims he
is entirely innocent of the charges
of crooked riding upon which he
was suspended and he will appear
before the national assembly In
February and present evidence to
this effect. He says he was in Cal-
ifornia at the time of the suspen-
sion and that all the prominent
riders on the coast took a great in-
terest in the matter and promised
to extend every assistance possible
to secure his reinstatement. He
also says that he has secured all
the prizes which he lias won since
the matter was first broached and
up to the time of hia suspension.
Members of the L. A. W. in Den-
ver assured him they would do
everything In their power to aid
him.

; Irwin and Business Manager Wat-
; kins of the New York baseball
। club will start south Saturday

Watkins will inspect the facilities
of several southern cities before
making a decision. The Louis-
ville team will not patt with its
crack Outfielder Fred Clarke al-
though the New York club have
outbid ail others with cash offers
There is a chance however that
Outfielder Holmes may come to
this city. A trade of players with
Louisville is under c insideration.
A dispatch from London says:
Jim Smith and Dan Creedon have
been matched at catch weights for
a $2000 purse before the National
Sporting club January 27. Arti-
cles have been signed.
Steve O’Donnel' the Australian
pugilist has been engaged as box-
ing instructor of the new Manhat-
tan Athletic club.
F. J. Titus who was suspended
by the L. A. W. has decided to
take his case before the national
assembly meeting for adjustment.
Titus said to a reporter last night:
“We stopped ia St. Louis for one
entire week during which time we
heard nothing of our impending
trouble. We were in Kansas City
just one day when we were noti-
fied by Roberts of our suspension
Roberts has worked entirely on
hearsay what was said after the
races when we really said nothing
that would implicate us and first
should have been found guilty of
having pre-arranged the races. We
have not had a fair trial; nothing
will ever convince us that we have
had. The entire trial was worked
out on alleged evidence submitted
after the meet had passed into his-
tory.”
The Four Convention Cities.
New York Dec. s.—General
Clarkson chairman of the republi-
can National committee returned
from Washington last night and
was at Fifth avenue hotel. It
turns out that San Francisco is to
make a very strong fight for the
Republican convention. The Gold-
en Gate city has already from 15 to
20 votes out of the 52 members of
the committee and it was said last
night that California conld hold
these votes and eventually even if
it lost the fight designate the city
where the convention will be held.
San Francisoo gave way in 1892
and by the votes of California and
the far western sates euchered
Chicago and Cincinnati and gave
the convention to Minneapolis. I
California and the far western
states occupy a similar position to-
day and this will be demonstrated I
in the meeting of the national
committee. Only four cities are
putting up a fight for the national :
convention—Pittsburg Chicago
St. Louis and San Francisco. i
A NEW LAB 0& BILL
To Be Presentea to Congress to Re-
strict the Judiciary.
Indianapolis Ind.Dec.s.—The
American Federation of Labor has
made public the text of the bill to
restrict the jurisdiction of the
courts of the United States in pro-
ceedings of contempt which it will

pared by one of the ablest attor-
neys in the United States but his

house of representatives of the
United States of America in con-
gress assembled: That the courts
of the United States sitting as
courts of equity shall not have
jurisdiction to punish for contempt
any persons charged with the vio-
lations of any older or decree of
courts whose acts in the premises
constitute arise out of it or are
connected with commission of any
offense indictable under the laws
of the United States or of the state
in which the offensive act is com-
mute 1 but in every such case
the offense against the court shall
be deemed merged in the greater
offense against the state or the
United States as the case may be.”

herst college will head the expedi-

Ice Dealer* Talk Combine.
Chicago Dec. 5.—A combina-
tion or what is known as an asso-
ciation among ice dealers in this
city is assured. Those who deal in
the cooling substance admit this
and say they think if the associa-
tion is not formed a lot of small
companies will haveto retire from
business. Some years ago there
wae an association among ice deal-
ers theobjectof which wae to keep
up prices. But the law against
trusts was passed and the associa-
tion wound up Its affairs. A move-
ment to reorganize this combine
under a different name is on foot.
Icemen it is declared are more in-
dependent than has been their
wont. Housekeepers will have to
do lees coaxing to get what they
want and altogether it will b
more pleasant for the dealer
This will all take place during the
winter and everything will be-
ready for the innovation by sum-
mer. Managers of ice companies
met yesterday and talked of in-
creased prices next year. Visions
of things “before and during the
war” when the price was as high as
$1 and never lower than 50 cents a
hundred dwelt in their imagina-
tion.
