2 DENIES HE SHOT MRS. DUKE'S HAND MURAT MASTERSON MAKES A STATEMENT OF AFFAIR Says the Woman, Then Mrs. Hopkin. son, Fired at Him and He Wrenched the Pistol From Her Bjr Associated Press. COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Jan. 15.— Murat Masterson takes exceptfons to the statements attributed to Mrs. Alice Webb, now Mrs. Brodle L, Duke, to the, effect that he shot her in the hand In 1890. Mr. Masterson Is a well* known attorney of this city and today gave the following signed statement to the Associated Press: "I first met Mrs. Webb, then Mrs. Hopklnson, In the summer of 1890 at the . Washington Park race course In Chicago. I was legal counsel for Don Luis Huller, one of the largest laftd and mine owners of Mexico. We had sev eral deals under way and Mm. Hop klnson introduced me to several capi talists in New York. I 'waited until May, 1891, and then finally asked her for the papers which I had turned over to her to present to her backers. She was then living In a flat on Thirty seventh street. At first she declined to give up the business and papers, but after several meetings she decided to do so. "When I entered her rooms I found two men, strangers to me, there. After a few. words I found that I was going to have trouble to secure possession of the papers, which I saw on the mantel of ;. the, room. I was unarmed but finally drove her two friends from the room and out into the hall. When I returned to her room Mrs. Hopklnson . held a ■ pistol in her hands and fired point blank at me, the bullet whizzing i past my head and burying itself in the door frame. I wrenched the pistol from her hand and threw it into the hall. : I then took possession of the documents and left the house. Both Mrs. Hopklnson and myself were ar rested and taken to Jefferson Market police station and next morning we were both taken Into the police court, but the case was dismissed and that was the end of if' .vV,;^ „ COSSACKS STRIKE AT WS LINE (Continued from Pace One.) . tr King Arthur brought" COOO sacks of flour early in December." MAY SAVE RUSSIAN SHIPS Naval Officers Say Vessels May Not Be Badly -Damaged By Associated Press. TOKIO, Jan. 15.— A naval officer who has returned from Port Arthur, dis cussing conditions there, today said: • ."The condition of the Russian war vessels and the town is much better than hoped for. "Evidently there was much fortifying of the place after the siege commenced. Two Hundred and Three Meter Hill had no permanent works. The trenches were similar to those used by the Boers in their late war with Great Britain. "It seems that the Russians had no general electric scheme, movable en gines, dynamos or powerful fort search lights. "The Russian naval officers yet say little and It is impossible to ascertain whether cur fire or the opening of the peacocks by the Russians themselves sank their'ships.Jn the harbor. "The hospitul3 weVe scattered and were fairly well kept. They are still being used for wounded prisoners. "It is understood that up to the capit ulation of the fortress the garrison re ceived only special allowances of money nnd before the surrender General Stoes sel had paid them off. "The treatment of Japanese prisoners at Port Arthur did not compare with that given Russian prisoners here. At Port Arthur the . Japanese prisoners were given poor food and were not given fuel. Only twice were they per mitted outside their prison." It is reported that hundreds of Japa nese fishermen have been sent to Port Arthur to assist in the clearing out of mines. NIGHT SKIRMISHES CONTINUE By Associated PrcM. HAUNCHANG. Jan. 15 (viu Mukden). — There has been no serious fighting for several , days, though night skirmishes on both sides continue. The most Im portant action recently wan' that In which Captains Kosinoff and Troitgkl, with- severity-five Cossaoks, drove the Japanese out of the villages of Mltzl and Tkhangay and captured a large amount of forage at both places. • General Linevltch has been Inspecting the whole of the front, and finds that the men and supplies are in excellent condition. The Japanese on their side are pushing sapping operations toward (he Russian lines at several pointa, but huve not made serious progress.

When the xpeftker had finished, th? report of the secretary was called for, and the Secretary told of the action taken In the meeting held on Alonday, at which time Fred F. Wheeler wns nominated chairman of the committee. Mr. Atwood defended the set of reso lutions proposed by Mr. Wheeler and said he considered the statements which had been made a Blander on the Prohibition party, and eulogized thn head of the county central committee. The report of a later meeting of the committee was called for, but upon motion that the happenings of that meeting should not be disclosed the chairman so ordered. Mr. Hall moved that the 'resolution* and .preamble passed at the former meeting be rescinded and all the papers destroyed. Mr. Hall said: "If we have made mistakes we are sorry. We did not get it into our heads that these were In dividual meetings; we tried to do our work and did not know that only one Individual had a right to run thing*. Mr. Wheeler and myself thought that the quicker we got down to business the better, nnd so the resolutions were drawn up. We refuse to be a drag on the movement, and we have to fate hard straight facts; there are dissen sions, and therefore I desire that this motion should carry. '.A heated discussion ensued ns to whether the action should be rescinded, in which several of the men and wo men prominent In the movement took part, exchanging sarcastic remarks. Mrs. Hester T. Griffith, president of the federation of W. C. T. U., seconded the motion, saying that she believed, with Mr. Hall, that the action should be rescinded. The motion was carried, followed by another one, authorizing the continuation of the meetings in th« same place. The Prohibitory union has been dis solved. One of the women said she thought it would be well to have a prayer meeting next Sunday, and then Mr. Hall made the announcement that Mr. AVheeler, Mr. Atwood and himself would not be present again.

DENVER, Jan. 15.— Warrants for four Republican leaders, who will be charged with stuffing city and county of Denver ballot boxes after the elec tion, will be Issued tomorrow if the promises made tonight by detectives employed by the Democratic party are kept. These sleuths assert that the thirty-seven Democrats now in Jail for contempt are innocent, and that Re publicans hired one man to write 1000 bogus ballots, which were inserted in the ballot boxes between November 9 and November 11, when the boxes were under the guard of three Republicans only. Samples of penmanship of one of the men to be arrested tomorrow are offered to prove that he is the man whose handwriting is on the bogus ballots. One person suspected is a former city detective, another is employed in the city license department, while the third is a Republican boss and promi nent citizen. The fourth is proprietor of a big printing shop. Jerry Winters, another suspect, is a fugitive. Demo crats assert they have absolute proof of the guilt of these men, and that the bogus ballots were not Inserted through the slit in the box. . The scheme was to insert bogus ballots and abstract that many genuine ones. When this information becomes pub lic tomorrow morning the Colorado election troubles will be at one of the most critical phases of the entire cam paign. PLANS TO GAIN MONEY FOR STATE By Associated Prtss. SACRAMENTO, Jan. 15.— State Sena tor Benjamin Hahn of Los Angeles had a long conference with Governor Par dee this afternoon and as a restilt he will introduce a bill in the leglnlature tomorrow that will have as its object the addition of nearly half a million dollars to the state treasury each year. According to Senator Hahn his dis cussion with the governor touched on plans by which money might be added to the state's general fund. The senator then agreed to introduce at to morrow's session it bill, which if passed, will compel corporations to file annual etatements of their paid Up capital stock, officers and directors. A fee of $10 will be required with the filing of the statement. "At the present time there are nearly 60,000 corporation* engaged in business under the laws of the stute," remarked Senator Hahn In explaining his meas ure, "and the result would be that nearly a million «f dollars would be added every two years to the state treasury. The law would have another beneficial feature in that it would t-llinl rate from the books of the secretary of state all the corporations not ac tively engaged In buna fide business, through the revocation of charters of corporations not complying with the uruuonaii new U»' ' I LOS ANGELES HERALD: MONDAY MORNING, JANUARY 16, 1905. ADMITS HE TRIED TO WRECK STATUE WOULD-BE DESTROYER OF ' GIFT OF KAISER IN JAIL Gessler Rousseau, Arrested In Phila delphia Thursday With Infernal Machine, Confesses Ha Made the Attempt By A»Rnclat«) Fr*m. PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 15.— "Oesnlor Rousseau," who was arrested In this city on Thursday with an unloaded In fernal machine In his possession, Ad mitted to the police today that he is the man who attempted to destroy the stntue of Frederick the Great In Wash ington last Tuesday, and also that It was h« who sent, the trunk containing an infernal machine to the British steamship Umbrla in New York in May, 1903. The prisoner, whose right name Is not known, made these admission* In the ofllce of Capt. Donaghy of the Philadelphia detective force after he had been Identified by persons brought hore from New York and Washington for that purpose. He gives no reasons for the attempted outrages except that "there fire too many foreign affairs In this country." After having Rousseau under fire all afternoon the police classed his as "an American patriotic fanatic." The prisoner gave no information voluntarily to the police, he admitting only those things which the police had fastened on him. Both the Washing ton and New York authorities want the man, and it Is probable that he will be turned over to the police of the lat ter city. The apprehension of Housseau was due to the disappearance of Owen Kelly, a wealthy Irish-American, who Is prominent In Irish-American socie ties in this country. Kelly disappeared on October 25, and from time to time the newspapers, particularly of the east, have published articles on the mysterious disappearance. These, the police believe, undoubtedly attracted Rousseau's attention. On Thursday he called on Patrick Kelly, the brother of the missing man, and offered to take him to his brother In New York for $500. To Blow Up British Ships He said he and Owen Kelly belonged to secret societies that were organized for the purpose of blowing up British ships in American ports. The valise he carried, he said, contained explo sives. Patrick Kelly notified the police and Rousseau was taken Into custody. The valise contained an infernal ma chine of the clock arrangement variety, but no explosives. About the machine was wrapped a Washington -newspa per. This gave the police the clue that he might know something of the explosion at the statue of Frederick the Great, and his picture was taken and sent to both the Washington and New York authorities. In the meantime he was also suspected of knowing 1 some thing: of the steamship TJmbria Inci dent. Today Captain Robert Boardman, of the Washington detctive force, and Alfred Carter, colored, and George H. Hazel, cabman of Washington, who saw the man who attempted to blow up the statue, and Detective Sergeant Arthur Carey of New York and a Mrs. Curry, who keeps a boarding house in the latter city, arrived here for the purpose of Identifying the prisoner. ; When Housseau was brought Into the office of Captain Donaghy, Hazel said: ', • "I guess you know me," to which the prisoner replied: "How do you do?" Rousseau bowed to Carter and then greeted Mrs. Curry. Having satisfied themselves beyond doubt that the identification was complete the police officials of the three cities set to work to obtain a confession from the prisoner. On replying to a question he ad mitted the attempted outrage on the statue. He said he had manufactured the infernal machine himself and that it consisted of a candle, fuse and "dynamite engine." Where he made it he would not say. The failure to de stroy the statue, lie said, must have been due. to the melting tallow spoiling the fuse or interfering with the dyna mite. Intended Another Attempt Rousseau then gave the police the in teresting information that he had In tended making a second attempt to blow up the statue, this time with a lime clock machine. As It was difficult to get past the sentries after nightfall, he Intended going to the arsenal at about dusk, arrange the infernal ma chine so that It would explode about midnight and then hang it on • the statue. This Is the substance of his admission concerning the statue, ac cording to Captain Donaghy. w-'' ;..' [■ ■'• Regarding the sending of the Infernal machine to the steamer Umbrla, Rous noait said that he made part of the Umbrla Infernal machine )n Chicago, and then took it to New York in a trunk. He admitted writing the note to Police Commissioner Greene which read: ....... "The Mafia, greets you and wishes you well. The society ha~B declared war against England and ordered the de struction of every steamer flying the British flag that Balls out of New York. The society has undertaken 'to 1 clear New York harbor of British ships and It will succeed." It was this note of warning that led to the finding of the trunk before It was placed on the steamship. The prisoner was closely questioned regarding the motive for blowing up the Umbrla, but wu non-committal. ll* said that has was born In America and that hs was a farmer. Where in America he was . born and where his jM«san.t hotna l»,h» would not «»». Ha. AdniltWd hid nnrnc wan not "Geimter RotfMeau." He said he had read much And that he wns a student of aortal poonomy. lift took the name, of "Ors« ler ftAtftseitu" because two of hi* Idents had thone named, Alhrecht GMdler, the 8wld« dictator, who, tradition «ayd, wnd killed by -vVllllftrn Tell In I^o7. nnd Jean Jacques Ilotißseau, the French philoso pher and writer, who died In 1778. Would Incriminate Nobody Cnt>t. Donaghy Bald Rousseau would say nothing of the Owen Kelly affair, and the police believe he knows nothing about It. He was also silent regarding the mysterious^ societies he spoke of for dynamiting ships nnd would not In criminate any one. The police after they concluded their "sweating" process, expressed the be lief that he la what they term an "American patriotic fnnaHc," that 1«, sane on every subject except those of an Internatlonnt character. nousseau will be kept here for the present. At) the Infernal machine found In his possession here was not loaded he committed no crime. He Is held for attempting to extort money from I'atrlck Kelly under false pre tenses. An affair like the Ttmbria Inci dent Is a" felony punishable by twenty years' Imprisonment. SENATORS FIRM FOR ARIZONA TO PREVENT VOTE ON JOINT STATEHOOD Unless a * Compromise Is Reached, Opponents of Bill Will Keep Senate From Making Final Decision By AssocUted Press. WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.— The inten tion-is to keep the statehood bill to the front in the senate during the present week with the hope by its friends that by the end of the week they may be able to get a vote on it T! Thus far the opponents of the meas ure have held out stubbornly against naming a day for a vote, and while they do not say in explicit terms that it Is their intention to filibuster against •he passage of the bill, it Is evident that unless a compromise can be reached for the elimination of Arizona from the measure they will make an effort to prevent a vote before the close of the present session. Democrats Lead Opposition On this account there Is coming to be more or less discussion of plans for the modification of the bill and most of the talk gravitates toward the sugges tion of Senator Foraker for separation of the votes of Arizona and New Mex ico on the question of admission or that suggestion by Senator Bard con fining the operation of the bill to the creation of the state of Oklahoma out of the territory of Oklahoma and In dian Territory and entirely eliminating Arizona and New Mexico from the bill. A number of Republicans have • an nounced themselves favorable to either of these suggestions. In the meantime the debate will go on. Senator Bate, the senior Demor cratlc member of the committee on territories, said that a number of Dem ocratic senators would be prepared by Monday to take the floor in opposition to the bill In its psesent shape. Beveridge Out of City He would not admit a willingness to accept the Foraker or Bard amend ments, but said that either of them would ba debated. . Other Democrats do not manifest a disposition to hold out so stiffly and some say frankly that they would feel liberally inclined toward the union of Oklahoma and In dian Territory if the bill Is confined to those territories. . • '■■ Senator Beveridge will be absent, from the city during the greater part of the week and the bill will be In charge of Senator Nelson. Mr. Bever idge goes to Indianapolis to be present at his . prospective re-election to the senate. The pure food bill will become the unfinished business when the statehood bill is disposed of, but as only one of the appropriation bills has been passed the food bill may not be given much time. Tuesday the 1 senate will receive of ficially the statue of the late Senator Ingalls of Kansas. TO DIBPOBE OF BWAYNE CASE House to Reach Army Appropriation Bill This Week By Associated Pfess.

PATHS, Jan. 15.— the ministry of M. Combes, after emerging successfully from Its bitter midnight struggle in the chamber of deputies, has decided to nbnndnn the field while some portion Of Its prestige still remains nnd has sig nified Its Intention of resigning. Of ficial announcement of the resignation has not yet been made, but M. Combes hns definitely stated the Intention of himself and colleagues, and the term ination of the ministry after a tem pestuous career of three years only awaits the formal submission of the letters of retirement. Friends of the ministry maintain that the retirement Is voluntary, as M. Combes has succeeded in resisting the effort to compel his fall. The opposi tion, however, hails the decision as a victory, claiming that the small ma jority for the ministry last night left M. Combes shorn of effective strength to carry out his policies. M. Combes called at the Elysee palace today for the purpose of conferring with President Loubet, but the latter was overwhelmed by the critical ill ness of his mother, who died today. The president's affliction prevented any discussion of the cabinet situation. It had been intended to hold a cabinet meeting on Tuesday, at which the final disposition of the retiring members was to be taken, but President Loubet's de parture fon Montellmar to attend the funeral of his mother deferred final action. Combes Careworn After Battle Premier Combes received the vari ous ministers during the day. He looked careworn after ten hours of par liamentary battle, In which he occupied the floor for three hours and was the center of a continuous attack during the remaining hours. He spoke freely of the intention of his cabinet to re tire as a whole and outlined the details of Its closing work. He regards the retirement as wholly voluntary, as the votes last night, although showing small majorities, gave enough margin to permit of the carrying on of the ministerial program. However, he con siders that his departure will facili tate the realization of the program, in stead of interrupting It,' since his suc cessor wiH be able to unite the dis cordant elements- .which ., have become personally hostile to. him. . • It is considered that M. Combes' vol untary withdrawal will permit him to exercise a powerful and probably a decisive influence in the choice of his successor similar to that which M. Waldeck-Rousseau exercised when voluntarily relinquishing power. Who will form the next cabinet is not yet certain. The logic of the situation appears to point to ■ At. Rouvier ancT his name is most mentioned. He Is ac ceptable both to M. Combes and those who are rebelling against his authority. However, if M. Combes exercises the authority to name his own successor hs may designate M. Hrisson, who, ; as president of. the chamber of deputies, assisted in the execution of the Combes program. The names of MM. Miller and, Poincere, Dumour and Clemen ceau also are prominently mentioned, their strength depending upon later combinations in the majority groups. However, the personal influence the president usually exercised is obscured by death within his household, making the outcome ■ of the reorganization of the ministry increasingly doubtful. The effect of the change upon the govern ment's politics Is not conldered to be great. The enactment of an Income tax and ether important measures will not be materially affected. Premier Combes was waited upon this evening by a number of members of the chamber of deputies, who urged that he reconsider his decision to . re sign, but he positively refused to do so. Owing to the death of Mine. Loubet the presentation of the resignation of the. ministers has been deferred until AVednesday morning. President Loubet will begin on Wed nesday afternoon consultations for. the formation of a new ministry. Mr. Rou vier appears to be practically decided upon as the future chief of the minis try, and it is understood that he asked M. Del Casse and St. Berleaux to re tain the foreign and war portfolios re spectively. Until the decision of the cabinet, to resign is officially communicated to President Loubet, who alone is empow ered to recelve.lt, there will be no in terruption of parliamentary work. Satisfactory to Vatican ROMS, Jan. 15.— The French cabinet situation is regarded at the Vatican with satisfaction, and, the early resig nation of the ministry is . considered to be Inevitable.. It IB hoped by the cleri cals that if the next French cabinet is composed of Radicals It will be rr)ore like the Waldeck-Routiseau ministry than that of Premier Combes. Reciprocity With Germany Uy Associated Fr«M. BBKIJN, Jan. 15.— The American chamber of commerce of Berlin con siders that the moment is favorable for a movement looking toward a re ciprocity treaty between the United States and Germany, and especially su because the new system of reciprocity treaties Germany has concluded most probably , will . affect American trade jftdvjUHAly, ; M—*\y**y*J \JfMit%yT liyJUOr* I-honos Main IM7, Horn* 411 Engagement Extraordinary • Commencing Tonight |== In the Success of Two Continents =| "The Darling of the Gods" A Drama of Old Japan By David Belasco and John Luther Long «J TIMES AT us TIMES AT Belasco Theater ...St. Louis...
