builders of the great $1,000,000 canti
lever bridge of the Copper River rail
road, that will span Copper river di

hours a day, in the bright Alaska sun
shine, and high speed is maintained
by a bonus of $100 offered to each man
if the bridge is completed before the
ice goes out.
Three thousand men are at work on
the Copper River railroad, taking ad
vantage of all the daylight.
A bridge across Tiekel river at Mile
102 has been begun, and track to the
steamboat landing at Mile 104 will be
laid in a few days. Navigation is ex
pected to open about May 25. Trains
probably will be running in Chilina

SAN RAFAEL JURY
ACQUITS FLANNERY
Former President of San Fran
cisco Police Commission
Declared Guiltless
COURT QUESTIONS TALESMEN
Jurors Say Connection Between
Accused and Poolroom
Was Not Clear
[Associated Press]
SAN RAFAEL, May 19.—The Jury In
the trial of Harry P. Flannery, for
mer president of the San Francisco
police commission, who was charged
with grand larceny in connection with
the Sausalito fake pool room disclos
ures, returned a verdict of not guilty
at 6 o'clock this evening in Judge Len
non's court.
The verdict was reached within thir
ty minutca after the cane had been
given to the jury and after only two
ballots had been taken. The first ballot
stood 11 to 1 for acquitttal, with Juror
Longley voting for conviction. The
later changed his vote on the second
ballot and the jury promptly reported
and was discharged.
Flannery made a statement at the
conclusion of the trial to the effect
that the charges against him had
amounted to nothing but a political at
tack, and that the account of his al
leged connection with the pool room
men as related by Joseph Abbott and
other witnesses was absolutely false
from beginning to end. He refused to
discuss the possibility of hjs reappoint
ment to the police commission, saying
that was a matter for Mayor McCarthy
alone to determine.
At the time of his Indictment, how
ever, he gave in his resignation with an
announcement that he expected to be
returned to office after being cleared of
the charge against him.
Several of the jurors stated that the
verdict had been reached because the
members of the Jury failed to find a
clear, definite connection between what
occurred between Flannery and Abbott
in San FranclßCO and the operations of
the gang of which Abbott was a mem
ber in Sausallto.
When the jury was dismissed three
or four of its members were summoned
into Judge Lennon's chambers and re
mained in conference with the judge
and District Attorney Boyd for fifteen
or twenty minutes. It was reported
they were questioned regarding rumors
of alleged jury tampering, which have
been in circulation for several days.
The grand jury met this morning to
take up the investigation of these re
ports and examined several witnesses
informally, but the absence of District
Attorney Boyd, who was in attendance
on the trial, caused an early adjourn
ment, and the matter will not be gone
into further until next week.
A crowd that entirely filled every
seat in the court room and packed all
the standing space was in attendance
at the trial all day. District Attorney
Boyd made the opening and rebuttal
arguments for the prosecution, while
Attorneys E. B. Martinelli and George
A. Knight spoke for Flannery. The ar
guments were completed at 4:30 p. m.,
and the charge to the jury occupied
fifty minutes. /.

CHERRY DISASTER JURY
TURNS IN 250 VERDICTS
Declares Inspectors Consented
to Breaking of Laws
PHINCETON, 111., May 19.—The cor
oner's Jury which began last Novem
ber to Investigate the cause of the
Cherry mine disaster, which resulted
in the death of 265 miners in the St.
Paul coal mine, has returned 250 sep
arate verdicts.
The Jury says the mining laws were
broken with the knowledge and con
sent of the mine Inspectors.
The verdicts are in three sets, one set
giving the cause of death of twelve
men In the rescue party who perishnd
in the cage in the main shaft; another
set for the 187 men who were suffo
cated in the second vein, and the third

In the third vein and died of exposure
and suffocation.
John Cowley, the engineer in charge
of the cage in -which the twelve res
cuers lost their lives, was vindicated.

lives "Indirectly by a confusion of sig
nals regulating the movement of the
cage."
The following verdict was brought in
for each of the IST men who lost their
lives in the second vein:
"We find that they came to thoir
death by suffocation, and that the fire
was caused by a pitched load of baled
hay coming in contact with an oil
torch.
"And we further fina that there was
great delay in notifying the men of
the danger." .

of the men In the third vein says:

the corporation are desirous of main
taining this record." says a statement

has become so burdensome that it

SMASH DOORS IN
CHINATOWN RAID
Police Swoop Down on Alleged
Gambling Dens and
Swing Pickaxes
BATTER IN IRON BARRIERS
Proprietors of Three Houses Ar
rested, and Much Gaming
Paraphernalia Seized
From four different quarters China
town was bombarded last night, and
the thundering of sledge hammers and
the splintering caused by pickaxed
aroused the entire neighborhood. It
was a raid on the Chinese gambling
dens, and of the four places visited
evidence said to bo sufficient to convict
was obtained in three places.
The places raided were 436 Sanchez
alley, W<>n~ Sing, proprietor; 524
August alley, Ah Chee, proprietor; 524
North Los Angeles street, Ah Ching,
proprietor: 518 North Los Angeles
street, Fong Chong, proprietor. Tho
place at 518 North Los Angeles street
waa found deserted when the raiders
entered, but in the other places were
nineteen men and one woman.
The raid was spectacular, the most
Interest being at Ah Chee's place, which
is recognized as the most notorious of
the gambling dens In Chinatown. It
took twenty minutes to batter down
the Iron bound doors to gain entrance,
and after a search of an hour and a
half, during which tho house was bat
tered and looked as if struck by a
meteor from Halley comet the much
coveted lottery tickets were unearthed.
TRAP INGENIOUS
The trap In which they were hidden
was Ingenious. After partition after
partition h.'d been torn down a loose
panel In the woodwork along the hall
way was found. It raised up and down
like a window, and ther© was a similar
panel at the other end. Behind these
the lottery tickets and outfit were
located.
While searching this place Patrolman
Ervin started to knock down a small
loft about fifteen feet from the floor
on which "was piled rubbish and debris.
After two blows had been struck a
smothered sound came from above and
a voice called out, "Doan struck no
moah, I'se comining down," and a negro
shambled to the floor. His hiding place
had been discovered.
At 524 August alley the same resist
ance in gaining entrance was met, and
as one of the Chinese was running
through the hallway followed by Pa
trolman Willetts he tossed a bundle of
lottery tickets through an open window
right into the waiting arms of Patrol
man Mosher, who was on guard out
side.
THICK DOOR RESISTS
The greatest resistance was met at
436 Sanchez alley, where an oaken door
five inches thick, reinforced by iron
bolts and panels, was battered before
entrance was gained. The delay af
forded the wily Celestials an opportun
ity to burn the evidence, but nine men
were found in the place.
The raid led by Sergt. Sebastian was
well planned. Automobiles were used
to make a quick trip from central police
headquarters, an innovation in China
town raids. The four attacks were
made simultaneously, and with such
celerity that the underground system?
and telephone service used by the
Chinese were of no avail.
As the autos arrived at the variou?
places and started to enter other mem
bers of the Chinatown squad guarded
the doors and windows to see no one
escaped and that the evidence could
not be thrown from the windows or let
out by th* various chutes, with which
the gambling houses are fitted.
The three proprietors were released
on $100 bail each, and the inmates' bail
at $10 each, in default of which most
of them passed the night in police head
quarters to await trial this morning.
