SAILORS PLUNGE TO
SHIPMATE'S RESCUE
ALABAMA'S TARS GALLANTLY
RISK THEIR LIVES
Member of Flagship's Crew Carried
Under When Releasing Anchor
Chains and Saved From Death by
Prompt Courage of His Messmates
By Associated Press. * " y—
NEW YORK, Oct. 2.— A rescue which
the officers of the . battleship Alabama
declare was one of the most heroic that
has taken place in the navy for many
years was effected by three seamen of
that battleship off Provincetown,
Mass., last Saturday.
The man who was rescued is Andrew
Anderson, a seaman, and the men who
saved him are Edward Wagner, Wil
liam Brannon and E. V. Anderson.
The Alabmaa is the flagship of the
second division of the first squadron
of the North Atlantic fleet, which ar
rived here yesterday.
When the order was given to the
Alabama to weigh anchor and proceed
to New York the chains fouled the
stock and somebody had to be lowered
to untangle them. The job fell to An
derson. Anderson was getting along
all right when the controller of the
drum, around which the anchor chain
was to be wound, was released. A
minute later the anchor had sunk In
twelve fathoms of water, and Ander
son went down with It
The sailor managed to free himself
of the rope that was around his waist,
and tried to rise to the surface. In
stead of doing so he struck the bottom
of the Alabama. Three times he tried
and then he lost consciousness. Cap
tain W. H. Reeder had signaled for
full speed astern, and as soon as the
Alabama had cleared the spot where
Anderson had gone down the form of
the sailor appeared on the water. •
Wagner was the first of the sailors to
ccc him. He plunged Into the sea and
swam to the spot He caught the un
conscious man around the neck and,
swimming with one hand, held his
head above water, awaiting the as
sistance of Brannon and E. C. Ander
son, who had also plunged Into the
water. ' . i

Sweden, who was recently called upon
by the state department to explain pub
lic charges that he had been guilty of
disrespect to the king of Sweden In

having lasted only a short half hour,
until he had left the city." He also calls

over the Spanish consulate on the same
occasion. The explanation is deemed
sufficient. ■ '

"You are to heart a villain, a mur
derer, a swindler and a thief and I am
sorry that I cannot send you to the
electrc chair.
"Just remember that your mother
was a woman but you played with the
love of women, and when you were
through with them you turned them
out into the world with their shame,
upon them. You . are one of the most
dangerous men in -the country."
As he left the court room' after this
denunciation Carlton was met by a
young woman who called him. by name
and began to weep, exclaiming:
"What the judge said was all true."
Carlton laughed In the young wo
man's face and passed on. When out
side the buildng he was mobbed by a
crowd of men, many of whom had
once been his neighbors, but who then
tried to strike him. The mob num
bered fully 500, and the deputies who
guarded Carlton, being handcuffed to
him, had great difficulty In saving him
from serious- injury. They ran with
. the prisoner to a. street car and in thi3
manner escaped from the mob.

By Associated Press.
DENVER, Oct 2.— The spectacle of
a member of the judiciary being
dragged about by a mob and forced
to rescind an official order ended a day
of turmoil at Brighton, Col., the county

city limits of Denver.
A. H. Guthlel, county judge, hauled
the mayor, marshal and members of
the town board before him this morning
and lectured them for their, alleged
failure to enforce ordinances against
gambling and Sunday liquor selling.
Following this he ordered the sheriff
and marshal to gather up the slot ma
chines In the town of Brighton, and
when they subsequently 'reported that
they could find only one Judge Guthlel
deputized two men to arrest them for
contempt.
In the meantime both the sheriff and
the marshal disappeared. The report
of the Judge's action concerning the two
peace officers spread through the town
and caused much excitement. Citizens
began to gather on. the street, and,
fearing for his personal safety, Judge
Guthlel boarded a Union Pacific freight
engine as it was pulling a train slowly
through the town. He ordered the en
gineer to uncouple the engine from the
train, It is . said, and run to this city
with him, threatening legal action un
less the engineer complied with the or
der., . . ; '.
The latter refused and while they
were discussing the matter a mob gath
ered around the engine and Judge
Guthlel was dragged from the cab. He
was told that he must rescind his
order of arrest against the sheriff and
marshal, but, upon being assured that
he had already done so, was released by
the mob and allowed to proceed to
Denver on a passenger train later.
Judge Guthlel has been at war al
most constantly with other county of
ficials since his administration began,
about a year ago, and has had the
officials and members of the bar be
fore him time and again on . the
charge of contempt.

CHICAGO, Oct. 2.— Slugging and vio

cost the Chicago Federation of Labor
$75,000 since May, and have left a de

amount $50,000 went to pay attorney's
fees and court costs in the teamsters'

EARTH CRUST SINKS 30 FEET
Three Acres of Solari Ranch Land
Recedes — Great Crevice Is
Discovered
Special to The Hetald.
VENTURA, Oct. 2.— People in the
vicinity .of Sprlngvine are greatly agi
tated over a strange occurrence on the
Solari ranch.. Ap iece of land compris
ing some three acres\ has • gunk, . to a
depth of about thirty feet " "
The fall was not sudden, but has been
going on for some time. At the edge of
the settled portion is a large crevice in
the earth which appears to be without
a bottom. A clod or rock dropped into I
the crack will echo for some time, until
finally it passes out of hearing.
About two years ago a piece of land
in the same locality settled but not to
such a depth.
Various theories are advanced, but the
one most generally accepted as reason
able seems to be that the subsidence
is due to the fact that many artesian
wells have. been sunk In the valley be
low and that drawing off so much
water has formed a cavity, thus allow
ing the land to settle.
Those who have dug wells in the
locality testify, to having run across
queer formations. In one well salt
water was found, in another soft water
was obtained, and in another, at a
depth of nine feet, a large bed of quick
sand was found. The quantity was so
great that the well was abandoned.
