CRUSHED IN CAVE
IN, MAN LIVES
FOR HOURS
HOSPITAL AMBULANCE REFUSES
HIM AS DEAD, BUT DOCTORS, BY
HEROIC MEANS KEEP SPARK OF
LIFE BURNING LONG.
Joseph Miller, 40 years old, living
with his wife and six children at No.
950 Rlvard-st., was futully crushed In
a cave-in while at work In a trench
hack of No. 880 Wuodward-ave., about
lo:5o o’clock Friday morning. He
died in St. Mary's hospital soon after
being removed to thut Institution In
the east end ambulance, the end com
ing despite heroic efforts to save his
life on the part of Dr. Mary O. Has
kins, No. 898 YVoodward-ave., and Dr.
j. T. Watkins, No. 878 Second-ave.
Miller was making a sewer connec
tion with the bakery shop of Jones &
Son, No 880 Wood wurd-ave., for W.
W. Hannan, manager of the property,
when the earth on one side of the
trench slid down on him without warn
ing. burying one man up to his neck.
Some of the dirt struck him on the top
und back of the head, breaking his
neck, it is thought.
A boy who was assisting him saw
the accident from the top of the
trench and notified the elder Mr.
Jones, who, with the assistance of Jan
itor Tucker, of the Woodward upart
inents, dug Miller out. To all out
ward appearance the man was dead,
but Dr. Haskins found signs of life
and by heroic means succeeded in
starting his respiration once more.
She worked over him constantly for
more than half an hour, when Dr. Wat.
kins came to her aid and accompanied
the dying man to the hospital.
Grace hospital was called imme
diately after the accident, but the sur
geon in charge of the ambulance
merely looked at the man and drove
away.
Asked for an explanation, an at
tache of the hospital stated with some
asperity that the ambulance had not
taken the patient because he was
dead when it arrived. Asa matter of
fact. Miller lived for two hours af
terwards.
Dr. Watkins continued working
over Miller all the way to St. Mary's
•hospital and aft«*r the hospital was
reached, until the spark of life went
ont.

INTO CLIFF
STEAMER LUIZE, FROM BRAZIL
IAN PORTB TO FIQUERA,
WRECKED OFF PORTUGUESE
COAST.
LISBON, Sept. 4. —Driving straight
! Into the face of a cliff nearly 300 feet
. high, the steamer Lulze, bound from
1 Brasilian ports to Flguera. was wreck
ed five miles south of that port today
' and every member of the crew drown
-1 ed.
Early this morning the steamer was
i sighted, making bad weather and as
word was passed around the town,
hundreds flocked to the overhanging
bluffs. The steamer Is owned by Fl*
guera parties and most of the crew,
the majority of whom are married, liv
ed there. It Is supposed that the
steamer’H machinery became disabled
when within sight of land and the big
ship drifted helplessly on to the rocks
while the wives and relatives of the
crew unable to render the slightest
assistance watched the Luiza slide off
a shelving rock and sink In deep wa
ter, carrying with her every member
of the crew.
When the Lulze sailed from Flguera
for Brazil last May she carried a crew
of 52 and it Is supposed that number
were drowned. The steamer has dis
appeared from view and It will be
some days before divers can be sent
j down.

| The- Detroit United Railway was not

posed ordinance to compel the street
railway company to run its cars with

was adjourned after several witnesses
had told the aldermen their troubles
with noisy cars.
R. H. Fyfe testified that the noisy

In tin* real estate along that thorough

primarily to the racket made by the
cars which drove residents away.
Other witnesses testified that faulty

A communication was received
from the I). U. It. management stat
ing that it would be represented at
tho next meeting and present facts to

BUREAU OF IMMIGRATION VIC
TIM OF A FALI ONCE WAS LO
COMOTIVE FIREMAN.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 4 Frank P.
Sargent, commissioner general of tne
bureau of Immigration, department of
commerce and labor, one of the best
known immigration experts in the
world, died at his home. The Manor
house, at 8 o'clock this morning, as
the result of a paralytic stroke, which
followed a fall several weeks ago.
In spite of the stroke of paralysis
which Mr. Sargent suffered after hla
fall downstairs while sojourning near
Sheppardstown, W. Va., In July, he
had been recovering, It was believed,
and even his close friends In the Im
migration bureau were taken entirely
by surprise, when they learned this
morning of his death.
Mr. Sargent was born 54 years ago
at East Orange, Vt
Former Locomotive Fireman.
In early life he was a locomotive
fireman and for 17 years he was head
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen, h post than which there are
few greater In the world of unionism.
He did not believe In strikes und
made It his business to see that none
were needed. Ho commanded the re-
I sped of the men he represented and
the men who owned the roads for
which these men worked.
Declined Two Offices.
His work In preventing strikes and
bis remarkable way of handling men
brought him to the attention of Presi
dent McKinley and In 1898 he was ap
pointed a member of the Industrial
commission, but refused the office. In
1900 he was offered the position of
chief of the bureau of engraving and
printing, but once more declined to
leave the service of his brother fire
men.
Betters Immigrants' Condition.
In 1902, however, President Roose
velt offered him the office which he
held when he died, that of commis
sioner-general of the bureau of Immi
gration and in April, of that year, he
decided to take it. Since that time
he has devoted all his attention to the
bettering of the conditions surround
ing the entrance of Immigrants into
the United States.

CRUEL KILLING IN
CITY HORSE POUND?
That a cruel killing was committed
In the city's horse pound is the plaint
of Magnus J. Jensen, 606 1-2 Grand
Rlveruve., who begs that the city al
levlute his wounded sensibilities by a
greenback plaster.
Jensen owned a mare, name Nellie,
age 14 years, which he left to graze
on the luscious timothy at Forest and
Commonwealth aves. the afternoon of
Monday, July 27. A stout rope was
nbotH her neck, but somehow it got
loose and Nellie wandered away and
finally landed in the equine lock-up.
There a rude horse Kicked her In
the left hind leg, breaking it and the
next day they ended the young and
happy life of Nellie.
Therefore Magnus mourns and asks
for liberal compensation.

NO TRACE OF THE MEN WHO SO

POLICE TAKE NEW TACK.
Because he flourished a revolve*,
a young man giving hla name us Her
man Ordner, of No. 2857 East Thirty*
fiist-st., Cleveland, was locked .ip b>
the police of Essex, Ont., Thursday
afternoon as a suspect in the Duul« 1
Walser murder case. Ordner aud a
companion arrived in Essex Thursday
noon and became intoxicated, it wui
then that Ordner became rock less
with his revolver, and began to talk
like a "bad” man from the west The
other man disappeared after Orduer’s
arrest. •
The prisoner at first refused to give
his name. Friday morning he said it
was Charles Jackson, but later ad
mitted he had lied and gave what
purports to be his right name. He
said that he aud his companion. John
Klrton, both drivers tor the Standard
Oil Cc. were on their way to work on
the farm of Sain MciObbon. near
Maldrione The Detroit police were
notified aud Detective E. Fox was
sent to Investigate the suspect. Ord
ner defiles any knowledge of the mur
der aud If his story 1* borne out by
an investigation he will be released.
Ordner claims that he and Klrtea
passed through Detroit Thursday
morning. *
Thu revolver taken from O p dner is
of J 8 calibre, the same as that used
by Waist r’s slayer.
The police are still without a defi
nite clue to the men who shot Walser
Wednesday night. They have but lit
tle to work on. The fact that the
murderers had no opportunity to car
ry out their original plan of robbing
Walser 16 a serious handicap.
In the Moyer murder cases, which
the Walser case resembles in many
respects, Parker and Johnson got
away with a largo amount of booty
and were caught through their efforts
to dispose of It In Cleveland. As the
murderers of Walser got nothing there
1h no possibility of their being traced
in this manner.
John Walser, brother of the de

Clerk William A lint and and a police
man, visited the store- Thursday aft
ernoon. The safe, which was unlocked,
was found to contain about $l7O In
money, done up In several small par
cels and placed in boxes The
police ure holding tfie fhoney for the

Persons who knew Walser, and
traded with him. believes that hln
murderers were men familiar with his
habits and not floating crooks, as was
first supposed. The police take some

LAST
EDITION
ONE CENT
WARNER'S LEAD IK
PRIMARIES TO.
BE PROBED
BRADLEY LEADERS ADMIT 209
PLURALITY FOR GOVERNOR Oft
FACE OF RETURNS, BUT WILL,
ASK FOR RECOUNT.
With almost everything In, w*
admit a plurality for Warner of
about 200 on the face of the re
turns,'* said J. w. McCaujey,
Bradley’s local representative,
Friday noon. »it will take the
official canvaes of the vote to de
termine the result."
The uncertainty is due to the
fact that varying reports have
come in from many counties. Re
ports supposed to come from the
county clerks varied by many
votes. |n some cases, county
clt-. ks gave out three different re
suits within a few hours.
"What our facts are with re
gard to a recount, we are not
reauy to tell yet," added Mr. Mc-
Cauley. "That would give away
our case. We have reports from
a number of counties to go on."
While the face of the complete re
turns from Tuesday's primary vote
shows a slight plurality for Warner
over Dr. Bradley, there is to be a re
count and the Bradley men are con
vinced that their man will win.
They expect to show a wide-reach
ing plan to hold back returns, alter
them and to gain the nomination of
Warner by fraudulent methods.
llow much basis there Is for these
suspicions is evident when it is re
called that the utmost efforts were
J not sufficient to get absolutely com*
' pl®te returns more than two days aft
er tho primary election was over.
The counties which were held hack
were all Warner counties and the plur
allties in these increased more than
proportionately ns the precincts con
tinued to corne In.
Several counties in the Thumb dis
trict. where Warner made his biggest
run, with tire exception of the Iron
country In the upper peninsula, show
ed a bigger Republican vote in the
primary than was shown by all par
ties in the regular elections of 1904
and 1906. Sanilac county alone came
In Thursday, 36 hours late, with 1,000
plurality for Warner.
Bradley men have been dispatched
to investigate conditions In every one
of the suspicious districts. Taken In
connection with the wholesale voting of
Democrats for Warner In the cities,
the Bradley men feel that they have a
right to claim that attempts are be
ing made to steal the nomination.
Huron, Sanilac and Ogemaw arc
the counties whose vote will be par
ticularly investigated.
"The returns were held back and
altered to give Warner a plurality,"
was the blunt statement from one of
the Bradley managers Friday morn
ing.
The recount of votes will not bo
asked until after reports have come in
from the suspected counties.
Somo of the Warner men contend
that Bradley cannot get a recount,
but must lake the result of the offi
cial canvass, and the matter may have
to be settled by the supreme court.
Dr. E. W. Ilaass, Warner’s Wayne
county manager, attributes the ex
tremely heavy vote in the Thumb dis
trict to the many speeches made
there by Warner and the fact that
there is but one enrollment In the
country districts instead of two as In
