Mrs. Daniel Frohman, as She Is
Known In Private Life, Begins
the Action at Reno,
Nevada
RENO, Nev., Oct. 18.—Mrs. Daniel
Frohman, better known by her stage
name of Margaret Illington, filed suit
for divorce today in the district court,
j alleging that her husband has for two
| years failed to contribute to her sup
port.
Other than the bare statements that
the plaintiff has resided in Reno more
I than six months prior to filing the
; action, and that there are no children
1 and no community property, the com
| plaint contains nothing.
There are no allegations of a sen-
I satlonal nature, and no reference is
made to the theatrical manager other
than that he is the defendant.
Alimony is not asked for.
Mrs. Frohman has lived in this city
nearly a year, having come to Reno
within a few luonths after she com
pleted her engagement as the star in
"The Thief."
PASSENGERS OF STRANDED
BOAT ARE LANDED SAFELY
One of Party Rescued Gives His Ex

Runs Aground
NEW YORK, Oct. 18.—The pas
sengers and part of the crew of the
Southern Pacific lines Antilles, which
ran aground off the southeast coast
of Florida a week ago, were landed
here today by the steamer Comus of the
same line. Among the passengers was
Governor I. J. Sanders of Louisiana,
who discussed the accident.
"We had experienced two days of
heavy weather," he said, "capped Mon
day morning by a hurricane in which
observations were impossible.
"Neither the captain nor the pas
sengers felt much alarm, however and
most of us had retired when, shortly
before midnight Monday, the Antilles
struck sandy bottom with a shock that
brought everybody up in a minute.
"There was no panic and Captain
Byrnes assured us after a hasty ex
amination the boat was in no immedi
ate danger."
FRESNO GOES DRY BY ACT
OF TRUSTEES OF THE CITY
One of the Board Resigned Rather

FRESNO, Oct. 18.—The city trustees
tonight passed to print an ordinance
abolishing saloons in Fresno Decem
ber 1 next. By a referendum vote last
April Fresno went dry. The ordinance
thus passed was invalidated by the
courts.
The trustees have taken the vote as
an expression of the public will and
accordingly took the first step tonight
to carry it out. Trustee Peekford re
signed rather than vote on the ordin
ance.
CONVICTS ARE BURNED

SALEM, Ore., Oct IS.—One of the
two convicts remaining of the

noon, after which the other surren

tonight.
The men took refuge in a straw

By a curious coincidence the farmer
who owned the stack decided this
morning to burn it and accordingly
set it afire.
This fire drove the convicts from
their hiding place and they took refuge
in some long Brass.

GREAT PORTOLA
CELEBRATION TO
OPEN IN NORTH
SAN FRANCISCO READY FOR
IMMENSE FETE
IMPRESSIVE PROGRAM BEGINS
THIS MORNING
Warships of Various Nations at An
chor in Bay Prove Chief Attrac
tion to Out-of.Town
Visitors
[By Associated Press.]
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. IS.—With
ardor undampened by the rain
which began today, this city is
awaiting the comihg of Don Gaspar
I'ortola, who is due to land here tomor
row morning.
When the impersonator of the first
Spanish governor of California comes
sailing up the bay, which his prototype
discovered, he will be saluted by the
warships of six nations. With the act
ual ceremonies of the festival yet to
be- begun, the city has already taken on
the carnival air, and the rebuilt portion
is thronged with the pleasure loving
crowds that made these streets famous
in the celebrations held before the fire
of 1806.
The warships in the harbor have
proved the chief feature of interest for
the out of town visitors, and the decks
of the vessels have been crowded con
tinually during the hours allotted to the
public.
All day excursion trains have been
pouring their loads of humanity into
this city until hotel men estimate that
there are at least 150,000 visitors here
for the festival.
Many of the visitors have Journeyed
to this city by automobile, and the ga
rage owners report they can take care
of only a few more cars.
Decorations Intact
The decorations have not suffered
from the rain, which has been light.
Market street, the main thoroughfare
of the city, is profusely decorated, and
at the Ferry building and the railway
terminus elaborate courts of honor
have been built.
When the toast to Gaspar Portola ia
drunk all over the world tomorrow, af
ter the glasses are clinked the old
Spanish "A la salud" will be raised by
the celebrators in this city, and the
carnival will be under %vay.
Queen Virgilia has already issued a
proclamation to her people to be merry,
and most of the employers of this city
have determined to obey the order, and
at the same time extend recognition to
the three years of hard work done by
their employes since the fire, by clos
ing their places of business while the
actual celebration is in progress.
With the expectation that the night
celebrations will be the merriest part of
the carnival, the committee has pro
vided the greatest ilghting decorations
ever seen during a celebration in this
city.
All the principal streets have been
festooned with strings of incandescent
lamps, and at the intersection of Mar
ket, Third, Kearney and Geary 10,000
globes have been fashioned into the
shape of a bell.
This bell, with its lights in the Span
ish colors of yellow and red, forms the
most gorgeous feature of the decorative
scheme of the carnival.
SEN. M'CARREN SHOWS
HIS HEALTH IMPROVED
NEW YORK, Oct. 18.—Patrick H.
McCarren of Brooklyn had improved
sufficiently today to sign two checks,
one a campaign contribution and one a
gift to charity. He slept at intervals,
but his pulse Is irregular and the weak
ness of his heart continues to give con
cern.
His physician said tonight when
asked if he would recover: "I am afraid
to say yes and afraid to say no."
The senator's inquiries about the
progress of the campaign were not an
swered, by direction of Dr. Hughes,
who has forbidden him to talk politics.
Heney Makes Gain in Votes
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 18.—The re
count of the votes cast for district at
torney at the Democratic primary elec
tion was continued today before Judge
Murasky. When recess was taken at
noon Heney had made a net gain of
seven votes in the six precincts counted.
This leaves him a majority of forty
four votes over the contestant, Charles
M. Flckert.
He Committed Suicide
TONOPAH, Nev., Oct. 18.—It Is be
lieved that M. G. Gleason, whose do
capitated body was found here today,
committed suicide by exploding a stick
of dynamite close to his head. No
cause is assigned for the suicide. Glea
son came here from Point Richmond,
Cal..
the meantime, were driven from cover
by the posse. They were chased some
distance toward a clump of brush,
while a running fire was kept up by
the posse.
Suddenly Mike Nickollch, one of the
convicts, dropped to the ground. Al
bert Murray, his companion, then
stopped and signaled he would sur
render.
After Murray had been secured the
posse started to secure Nickolich. The
wounded man, however, jumped to his
feet and made another dash for the
underbrush, but he was cut down by
well directed shots from two of the
posae and put under arrest.
He was found to have been shot
twice in the left shoulder and the left
hip. George Duncan, who was wound-.
Ed Friday night at Buena Vista by
Deputy Sheriff Johnson, was near
death at midnight. The other wound
ed convict, Albert Ferris, wlil recover.

PARIS, Oct. 18.—Count De Lambert,
French aeroplanlst, just before dark
tonight accomplished one of the most
remarkable and daring feats yet cred
ited to heavier than air machines.
Starting from the aerodrome at Juvisy,
he flew to Paris, about thirteen miles.
After maneuvering over the city at
an average height of 400 feet he as
cended in gradually diminishing cir
cles and passed several hundred feet
above the Elfel tower. He then re
turned to Juvisy.
Thousands who watched De Lambert
barely credited their senses when they
saw the aeroplane, a tiny object, glid
ing swiftly far above the tower, and
the sensation created was more pro
found even than when Santos Dumont
circled the structure In his dirigible
balloon In 1900.
Count De Lambert was given a tre
mendous ovation on his return to Ju- |
visy. Orville Wright rushed forward I
and wrung the hand of the aviator as
he alighted, pale but radiant.
He was led to the pavilion where his
health was drunk, the crowd mean
time cheering lustily and crying: "Long
live Count De Lambert," "Long live
Russia," De Lambert being of Russian
extraction.
The count held up his hand and
shouted: "Cry long live the United
States, for It Is to her that I owe this
success."
The aviator said that the only In
convenience he suffered was from the
throbbing of the engines and from dif
ficulty increasing toward the end in
the gloom.
The time of the flight was 49 mm
Utei and 39 seconds. The distance was
roughly estimated a.t thirty-one miles
and the height varied from 300 to 1300
feet.

SEEKS BURIAL IN POTTER'S FIELD
TO EVADE THE RENT COLLECTOR
SALT LAKE, Utah, Oct. 18.—"I have paid rent all my life; I mean to
quit it when I die," declared Warren Foster, a well known newspaper
man, In a letter expressing his last wish, which was opened after his
death In Ogden Saturday.
"For the final disposition of my old body," says the letter, "my first
wish is that it be cremated. If inconvenient or expensive, then lay me away
In what is known as potters' field. But In no event; under any condition,
am I to be buried in any cemetery where they buy and sell lots or charge
a rental of any kind for keeping the lots in condition. Any evasion of this
request will meet with my hearty disapproval and for which there will be
no forgiveness either in this life or the next.
"If my life service has not been sufficient for the community to furnish
a place to rest this body when I get through with It, the,n let them feed It
to the more merciful and more kindly coyotes. Do not spend one cent for
a lot, directly or indirectly. I want no landlord calling me up from my
rest to pay him his rent."
The body will be taken to Denver for cremation. Mr. Foster was a
brilliant speaker and writer. He took part In the Populist movement In
Kansas and in reo'tit years has been identified with the. Socialist party.

HARBOR PLEDGE
MADE BY MAN
FROM SEATTLE
CONGRESSMAN PROMISES TO
WORK FOR APPROPRIATION
IS MEMBER OF RIVERS AND
HARBORS COMMITTEE
Takes First Look at San Pedro and
Tells Loa Angeles He Will
Help Out In the
Fight
i(J HAVE a 9r»at admiration for
the way the people of Los An
-* geles are trying to help them
selves in the construction of this har
bcr and I believe in helping those who
help themselves.
"I intend to do all in my power to,
help in getting an appropriation from
congress to make the improvement.
You citizens of Los Angeles can take
that as a pledge."
That's what Congressman W. E.
Humphreys of Seattle had to say in
his comfortable quarters at the Hotel
Alexandria last night. He also ad
mitted that he is a member of the riv
ers and harbors committee of congress
and declared that he didn't see any
reason why Los Angeles shouldn't
have a port of entry, and a real one—
although he had been surprised during
the afternoon.
"Here's the whole story," said the
congressman from Seattle as he re
arranged his coat over his undershirt
at a late hour last night and settled
down for a real talk on the harbor.
"I'm glad I went down to that har
bor of yours today," he said, after he
had rearranged his coat and then de
cided that his undershirt didn't make
so much difference to a reporter. "I've
heard a good deal of talk about this
harbor. A good deal of the talk wasn't
very favorable. That's the truth. The
harbor was knocked and knocked and
knocked pretty hard."
"Who started you on this trip to the
harbor?" he was asked.
"Congressman Macl^achlan," was
the instant reply. "No matter what
else you say about this trip of mine to
the harbor—and I'll keep my pledge—
the only man that can swing that ap
propriation is MacLachlan. Take it
from me and I know. If there is any
man who is trying to do the work and
can swing it, it is MacLachlan."
In the party that visited San Pedro
yesterday were Congressman and Mrs.
Humphreys, Willis H. Booth, president
of the chamber of commerce, A. P.
Fleming and George H. Stewart of
the harbor commission and the Pasa
dena congressman.
"And we had a splendid time," de
clared the Seattle man after he had
recounted the names of his compan
ions.
"I don't see why we can't have a fine
harbor at San Pedro. I know now
that the harbor is a certainty. You
citizens, by voting ten millions for
its completion will make the harbor,
and I think the government should
lend a hand and help out. At any
rate, you have my hand and vote for
a real harbor.
"I believe that in five years Los An
geles will have a fine harbor and be
a real seaport. I have a great ad
miration for the way that the people
of Los Angeles are trying to help
themselves in the contsruction of this
harbor and I believe in helping those
who help themselves. I intend to do
all In my power to help in getting an
appropriation from congress to make
the improvement."
STOCKMEN ARRAIGNED ON
DOUBLE MURDER CHARGE
CHEYENNE, Wyo., Oct. 18.—George
S:ibin, Thomas Dixon, Ed Eaton, B.
Brink, M. A. Martin, Charles Ferris and
William Keyes, prominent stockmen of
I Big Horn county, were placed on trial
today at Bason, charged with the mur
'■ der of Joseph Alemanda and Joseph
p:mge, sheep owners, and Joseph La
zier, a herder.
These men were slain in the Spring
creek raid on the night of April 2, when
herds of sheep were killed and maimed
and the bodies of the men burned In the
camp wagon.
The arrest of the men came as the
result of an investigation started by
the Wyoming Wool Growers' associa
tion. The grand jury brought true bills
and all the accused man were arrested.
An attempt to cause the escape of
some of the men after they had been
n leased on bail was frustrated by re
arrest.
An International aspect has been giv
en the case through the activity of the
French government, inasmuch as La
zier, one of the victims, was a French
subject. It is not expected that a jury
will be completed for several days.
