reload, another bull elephant charged
him at close range from the herd. Mr.
Cunntnghame and Mr. Roosevelt got
behind trees and Mr. Cunninghame
fired and* turned the bull from Mr.:
Roosevelt Just In time.

NEW YORK TOO LONELY,
MAN BECOMES TRAPPER
Old Soldier Wearies of Metropolis and
Drifts About River Eight
Years
ATCHISON, Kas., Oct. IS.—Just be
cause he found New York city "too
linely," as he expressed it, F. H. Baker,
an old soldier, has passed the last eight
years as a trapper on the Missouri
river, and during that time has drifted
Jn a small boat by easy stages from
the head waters of the great river
nearly to its mouth.
His long journey commenced at Fort
Benton, Mont., whither he had gone
from New York Just eight years ago.
Today he reached Atchison.
Baker was formerly a millwright at
Ithaca, N. Y. His wife died in that
city a dozen years ago and Baker went
to the metropolis to live with a married
daughter. He got lonesome there and
after a few years the call of the west
became so strong that he went to Fort
Benton, from which point his river
Journey of thousands of miles started.

BANK CASHIER
ENDS HIS LIFE
OFFICIAL OF INSOLVENT FIRM
KILLS HIMSELF
MOTHER-IN-LAW DROPS DEAD AT
SIGHT OF CORPSE
Alleged Wrecking of Institute at Mm.
eral Point, Wis., Causes Prisoner's
Brother-in-Law to Commit
Suicide
[By Associated Press.]
MINERAL POINT, Wis., Oct. 18.— F.
K. Hanscom, cashier of the wrecked
i First National bank of Mineral Point,
shot and killed himself last night. His
body was removed immediately to the
: home of his mother-in-law, Mrs. John
Gray.
At Bight of the body Mrs. Gray
: dropped dead.
Since the failure of the bank Hans-
I com had been working night and day
and was very despondent.
Mr. Hanscom was a brother-in-law
' of Vice President Phil Allen, jr., of the
bank, for the alleged misuse of whose
i funds Allen was arrested last Friday.
The bank, regarded for a generation
I as one of the strongest In Wisconsin,
< was closed a week ago after an inves
; tlgation of the books by Bank Exam
i Iner Goodhart.
An attempt was made to keep the
: Institution on Its feet by the sale of
1 mining property In which Allen was in-
I terested, but the deal ff>ll through.
It was alleged the bank had been
j looted of $200,000 by means of notes
forged by Allen.
Was Allen's Aid
Allen's chief aid In running the bank
was Hanscom. The former became
seriously ill when the bank was closed
! and. Hanscom devoted every minute of
' his time In assisting Examiner Good
hart in ptralffhtenini? out the books.
When Receiver Schotield took .charge
last Thursday rumors which could not
be confirmed had it that the loss to
depositors would run greatly over $200,
--f'OO and that arrests in addition to that
of Allen were to be expected.
Hanscom was found late last night
lying over the grave of his mother In
the family plot of the local cemetery.
He had ended his life by shooting him
self through the head.
Hanscom's heavy loss and worry
over the fact that ho had told the de
positors shortly before the bank failed
that it was all right are said to have
been responsible for his art.
The dead cashier had been connected
with the bank since its organization
in 1884. He began as bookkeeper and
teller and had a reputation for strict
honesty.
Hanscom was 55 years old. He left
a widow and two grown daughters.

defraud. He was arrested here on Oc
tober 13 by Inspectors after a search of
eight years. The government alleges
that Chancy defrauded many persons
through an investment company that
he promoted.

j ing thoroughfares, which will each
have a band or orchestra. Space will
I be cleared off at each of these float!
and music will be furnished all night
for the gay dancers.
Besides the million or more incan
descent lights which will be employed
in the resplendent illuminations each
of these floats will be decorated with
I^,ooo lights. The scene .Market street

Golden Gate.
Revelry Will Be Supreme
Beneath this bower of dazzling color

masks of bizarre and original design
by the thousands.
Trumpets will blare In continuous
and discordant manner, and every
where there will be noise, and more
noise, and a constant warfare of con

monster electrical floats the frolicking
subjects of Portola will dance to the
entrancing melodies of the orchestras.
Evprywhere there will be color and

The red and yellow colors of Portola
will predominate in the motley crowd.

spectacular aerial flight over the fes
tive city.
Probably one of the most important
events scheduled for the week of fes
tivities Is the official Portola mas
querade ball, which will occur Thurs

prove one of the most successful af
fairs of its kind ever witnessed in San
Francisco.
TO ASCERTAIN SOURCE
OF SUPPLY OF HORSES
War Department Conducts Inquiries to
Determine Producing Qualifica
tions of Various Localities
WASHINGTON, Oct. 18.—The war
department Is conducting inquires Into
the horse-producing qualifications of
various localities, especially through
the central western sections of the
country, with the idea of ascertaining
the best source of supply and the char
acter of animals obtainable.
A report on the subject has been re
ceived by Quartermaster General Ale
shlre from an officer who has been
looking into the situation in lowa, the
tenor of which is that horses suitable
for cavalry and artillery are scarce and
high priced there as In most of the
central western states.
The dealers generally express no par
ticular desire to deal In military ani
mals, as there is little or»no profit in
them at the average contract price.
The officer who investigated the con
ditions in lowa stated that he did not
believe f.n order for five or six car
loads of horses could be filled in BSo
territory he covered.

RIVALRY KEEN FOR
AERONAUTIC SHOWS
LOS ANGELES IS ACTIVE FOR
AVIATION MEET
Aero Club May Be Able to Offer Over
$150,000 in Prizes —Aviator
Tells of European
Craze
NEW YORK. Oct. 18.—Keen rivalry
among several cities for the two Inter
national aeronautic events which are
to be held In this country next sum
mer has already developed, and It is
probable that the Aero Club of Amer
ica will be able to offer from $150,000 to
$200,000 to the contesting aeronauts.
Headed by the mayor of Baltimore,
a delegation of business men and Aero
club members from that city and
Washington is expected here this
week to submit an offer of $150,000 for
the two event*, Baltimore desiring the
aeroplane contest, which will be held
in this country next summer by virtue
of the fact that Glenn H. Curtiss won
the international cup at Rhetms, and
Washington the balloon contest, which
Will he held here because E. W. Mix
won the recent Zurich race.
Cortlandt F. Bishop, president of the
Aero Club of America, will arrive h«e
from Paris during the week and im
mediately following his return the
campaign for the international events
will open.
Los Angeles has offered to raise as
large a fund as any other city, and
the Aero Club of St. Louis has sub
mitted a tentative offer of $100,000, it
is said, the money not having been
raised as yet.
Chicago and Indianapolis also will be
energetic bidders for the two contests.
To Submit Bids
Litters have been received from
other cities declaring that bids will be
submitted.
Tie oilicials of the Aero Club of
America desire to have the matter
settled ,'s soon after the arrival of Mr.
Bishop a.i possible, and it is probable
that Within a few weeks it will be
definitely known where the events will
take place.
Lieut, D. B. Foulers of the United
States signal corps has just arrived
here after representing the United
States army at the international aero
nautical congreM in Parla. He will
proceed to Washington to be lnstrutt
ed in operating an airship by Wilbur
Wright.
"In France I found the country
crazy—if any one may use the term
about flying," he said. "Germany still
sticks to the dirigible balloon, but in
France it is all for machines that fly.
"It will be the same here, and when
the people see the demonstrations
there will be active inventors who will
perfect engines of sufficient power and
lightness to fill the bill and make ma
chines perfect.
"I certainly have great faith in
American Inventors, and, while the
present machines of the Wright broth
ers, Curtiss and others are somewhat
crude, the principle is right, and
speedily we shall be eclipsing our
neighbors across the seas."

REDUCED FREIGHT RATES
WILL BECOME EFFECTIVE
New Schedule Ordered by Interstate
Commerce Will Be Used Despite
Protests of Railroads
WASHINGTON, Oct. 18.—Reduction
of the freight rates from eastern
points to Dcs Moines, lowa, ordered by
the interstate commerce commission,
will go Into effect Wednesday, despite
protests of the railroads involved.
The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
filed a suit in Chicago October 14,
seeking to enjoin the commission from
putting Into effect its order in what
Is known as the "Greater Dcs Moines
case."
By that order the commission re
duced the proportionate rate from
Rock Island, 111., to Dcs Moines, on
all traffic originating east of the In
diana-Illinois state line, from 42 cents
a hundred to 37 cents on first class
freight, the rates being proportion
ately less on other classes of freight.
Last week the Rock Island served
notice on the commission it would ap
ply this week for a temporary injunc
tion against the order.
It canceled that notice later and an
nounced it would put in the rates or
dered, but "under protest."
