consisted in pay/ng the salaries of the dep
uties and clerksvn the office and the in
cidental expenses of it, by check on the
Kub-Treasurr. Tie gaugers of the district
are paid bj checks sent direct from Wash
ington. As Disbursing Officer a lump sum
was piaffed to his credit in the Sub-Treas
ury e7e-"y three months, and the salaries
and, v-all bills under his jurisdiction were
i..a i.. uy him by check. His account with
this fund was audited quarterly at Wash
ington.
It is broadly intimated that Welburn
has managed to put smalt sums thus dis
bursed into his own pocket by drawing
checks for dummies, holding back por
tions of salaries due employes, dividing
salaries with men he had appointed and
tampering with the funds at his disposal
in some such potty ways. Vague guesses
and intimations of more serious things
that might follow a thorough exploration
of tbe affairs of the office floated about
yesterday, but they remained only un
charitable gossip and surmise. All who
are officially concerned in the matter pre
served much secrecy about it, but it is
known that the offense charged is about
a? described.
Special Agent Thrasher, with the as
sis ance of Special Accountant Sewell
from Washington, has besn investigating
all the accounts of the office since the
books or Cashier Norton were experted,
and on Monday some tilings in the ac
counts of the Disbursing Officer that
seemed to require explanation were run
into.
Welburn did not appear at the office on
Monday, and search for him that was he
ft jn at once and kept up on Tuesday failed
to afford the slightest ciew to his where
abouts. He had simply disappeared.
Last week Special AL'Pnt Thrasher r«
rorted to the Trea^iry Department that
Welburn had said that he was willing to
'..turn the forty old thousand dollars em
tezzle'i i>y Norton, but asked for time to
collect from Norton's bondsmen. Thrasher
r^ce:ve<i instructions that time would be
given if Wf Jburn was personally inuocont
of wrongdoing.
On Tue.-aay, however, Thrnsher tele
rtnphed a report of his discoveries in
Weil lira's own accounts anil of his dis
:i; i e.araiu-e. On the sa.ne day Thrasher
.'•Dtitied WeJbam't rondsmen that Wei- i
bur» nad disappe-nred and that n^w ir
re-ularities m his office had been found, j
As the office was running without a
responsible head and as the bondsmen
n-i re rP!-ponsibl« for the administration of
the ( ffice, t ii is was notification that it was
nine for them to hustle to the front and j
.look alter the situation.
• Both the department at Washington
. and the bondsmen acted promptly yeater
tiny, but the department relieved the sure
ties ot further responsibility by simply re
moving Welburn from office. At 10 A. M.
a telegram was received by Thrasher noti
fying him that Welburn < had. been re
moved and that Deputy B*rt M. Thomas
wns made Acting Collector. Thomas re
. ceived notite of his appointment and a
telegram addressed to We) burn, which, be
■ ing opened, was found to bo a notification
of his removal. Thomas at once assumed
charge of the office, with which long ex
perience has made him familiar. For fif
teen years he served with special Treasury
• agents here as a deputy, and two years
%ago he became a deputy in Welburn's of
r ric?.' Wrlburn was not suspended pend
■ ing further investigations; he was sum
marily and absolutely removed, a pro
ceeding that was evidence of the serious
.. ness of his own offenses.
•■;•"■ .Early in the afternoon E. B. Pond, W.
, A. Whitehurst of Gilroy and James W.
.Rea of San Jose met Special Agent
Thrasher and Acting Collector Thomas
1 at the Appraisers' buildine, and there
...were three-hours of ciosetings while the
situation was h»jng gone into. Pond is
the only San Francisco surety on Wel

THE LAST NOTE LEFT EY SUICIDfe NORTON.
Tel dear father for me to pay Louis Loupe $300 for me.
My reason for destroying myself is that 1 am a defaulter in a large sum to the
Government, and do not wish to live to look my good friends, Loupe, Welburn and
Thomas, in the face. All the money was lost gambling. Your dying brother,

tiemen an exposition of the situation.
Though they were not responsible for any
irregularities of the Collector as disburs
inc officer, they made up their minds that
Welburn had escaped from a sea of trou
bles, and they were deeply interested in
Knowing whether theie was anything be
sides Norton's big shortage that would
lighten their pocket-books.
At about 3 o'clock they went upstairs
■with Thrasher to the floor where justice is
supposed to reign, and there were confer
ences with Assistant District Attorney
Sc.ilessinger and Marshal Baldwin, and
when the conferences were over Schles
tinger had drawn a complaint charging
Welburn with embezzlement, Special
Agent Thrasher had sworn to it and Com
missioner Heacock had issued the war
rant.
Then Deputy Marshal Gallagher put a
paper in his pocKet and went forth on a
hard quest and the sureties went off to
worry and wonder elaowhere. All con
cerned were dumb as clams about the
issuance of a warrant or tbe reasons for it,
but tho fact early became known.
"Whatever there may be that it irregu
lar may be found to be in the accounts of
the disbursing officer," said Mr. Thrasher
•warily. "No; 1 don't think the amount
will be very iarge. I C3n't tell you just
how any irregularities there may be oc
curred. They might occur in many ways.
For instance, if you were Collector, you
might appoint a man to a $1000 position
and say, 'Now you must give me $500 of
it.' "
From other sources come intimations
that more direct frauds have recently
been practiced by Welluirn, such as draw
ing checks payable "to bearer" and in
favor o( dummies, and even that one
man's salary was drawn by the Collector
and used by himself. Bnt Welburn's
friends rind it hard to believe that he has
been guilty of anything actually dishon
orable, and that when things in question
are explained there will be left but the
carelessness.
Private detectives joined the Govern
ment searchers in the etiase after the
absent Collector yesterday afternoon, but
late in the evening his trail had not been
Htruckanithe supposition that he had
fled grew stronger.
At about 6 o'clock, however, Mr. Wel
burn rang up the editorial-rooms of The
Cam, to deny the report, with which he
had just bccocie acquainted, thai he had
absconded.
He wished the report denied in justice
to himself, and explained his absence by
saying be had been doing a little private
detective work on his own account in con
nection with Cashier Norton's shortage,
and had traced $1200 worth of stamps tnat
were supposed to be missing. In tones
that suggested a physical state of nervous
ness he said:
"Well, you «cc I have uot absconded. I
have been guilty of nothing wrong, and I
cm not {,'oing to run away. I will face
the situation. I have bson removed, I
suppose, on account of .my absence, which
has made people think that I had skipped
out."
Mr. Welburn declined to intimate his
whe:eabouts at that moment and respect-
fully declined to be interviewed by a re
porter at any place he might name. His
only statement concerning his where
abouts was that he was going home at once
and would be in the privacy of his family
by 9 o'clock.
"It's false; there is nothing to it," was
his reply to tlie charge that he had been
guilty of irregularities as Disbursing ON
ricer. When told that a warrant had been
Issued lor his arrest ho expressed sur
prise.
"I had not heard of that," he said.
"There can be no reason for my arrest as
you know if you remember the confession
of Norton which you published."
With a nervous "good-by" Mr. Welburn
again withdrew from the world a deeply
troubled man, greatly concerned wi4h his
threatened remitation and toe leeiings of
his family. He had entered a simple but
vigorous denial of wrong and as irom the
tomts had declared his presence and bia
intention to face the music..
Late In the evening his son stated at
his home at 930 Grove street that nothing
had yet Deen seen or heard of him.
James W. Rca hustled quietly about
last eve'ninc on business relating to the
Internal Revenue Office, and nad but
little information to impart beyond the
fact that Welburn hud not yet been heard
of. It was -yet Sir. Kea's impression that
he had left 'the City, which impression he
shared with Government officials, v.'ho did
not believe that the Collector was simply
in temporary retirement.
"I don't thin* Mr. WeJburn's principal
sureties have anything but the Norton
defalcation to be concerned with," said
Mr. ilea. "There are seven of them, if I
remember riehtlv, E. B. Pond being
surety of $50,0C0 and the others for $25,000
each. If Norton's sureties pay the $20,000
for which they insured him, We! burn's
bondsmen will be responsible for the
other $23,000 or so, making about $2500
apiece for six of them and $5000 for Mr.
Pond.
"It the surety company that secnred
Norton does not pay it will nearly double
the amounts. I don't know what the
prospects of a contest with the surety
company are, but I would suppose that
they will pay it promptly."
Air. Welburn's acquaintances about
town are pointing to him ns a man who
was wrecked by going into politics.
FALSE IMPERSONATION.
The Collector's Accusation Aaralnst
the Dead Man.
A day or two offer the death of Isaac
Norton Collector Welburn said that he
had been annoyed for many weeks by
women ringing him up on the telephone
anil asking tenderly and even affection
ately how he ieit after the racket of the
nieht before.
"Oh, Mr. Welburn, you're a thorough
j bred. Are you coming down again to
|iiighi?"and snch other remarks, wimU j
i became so persistent and annoying thai
he had the telephone removed from his
residence in order to have peace. He
addei* that after the tragic end of the
I cashier lie realized that Norton bad been
j passing himself off lor his chief in the
; shady places of the tenderloin district.
When the fact became known in the
I Appraisers.' building that Mr. Welburn
| had not been near the office since last
; Saturday, the seal of secrecy began to
i loosen about many things, «nd the fact
was commented upon that Mr. Welburn
, hud not made his complaint about some
! one having falsely personated him until
alter Norton's suicide. It was remarked
| thai Norton was dead, and, tiiereiore,
i could not deny the charge, and that the
j accusation would have come with better
j grace if it had been made while Norton
I was alive. It was intimated also that the
j Collector lived in very good style and was
by no mean* slow to enjoy the good things
of life, that he was not averse to a quiet
| game of poker, and thai he had a well-dc
! velopeu capacity for enjoyment.
Standing against all these intimations
| and charges of a more formal character is
j the honorable record and reputation of
Mr. Wei burn. His frieuds, relyinsr on
that reconi, are unwilling to believe that
he could ba guilty of the charges made
against him.
There can bs no doubt that the develop
ments worried him a good deal, particu
larly on account of his bondsmen, who
may have to pay the wliole amount of the
shortage. When Abraham Norton, a
brother of me cashier, handed him the
I fragment? of the note written by bis
i brother, just before the suicide, Mr. Wel

I fened to lamily matters, bin the follow

WHITE DEFENDS WELBURN.
May Introduce a Bill R = llevJng: Him
of the Norton Burden.
WASHINGTON, D. C, June 30.-Sec
retary Gage has directed that Collector of.
Internal Revenue Welburn be suspended.
This action is brought about by the j
report of the Treasury Department in- !
spector. The California dele ation has not;
yet decided whom they will recommend
to snecee i Welburn. Senator Perkins i
said to-night that they would consider the \
matter in a Hay or two.
Senator White, in conversation Witt'
The Call correspondent to-night, de
fended Mr. Welburn. He said tnat he
had been instrumental in securing his
appointment, and that he always con
sidered him a very careful and conscien- |
tious business man. He does not think
that Welburn is to blame. Ho thinks
it rather strange that the Collector
should be held responsible for the
peculations of a subordinate, when
the treasury expert reported resulai-iy
from month to month that the accounts
were all right. Senator White says that j
he may introduce a bill in the Senate to {
relieve Collector Welburn or his bonds
men of this responsibility. It is under
stood that Collector Welburn's bondsmen
will have to make good at least $22,000.
COULD NOT BE FOUND.
Welburn Has Not Been Seen by
Any of His Acquaintances
for Three Days.
When Depnty United Btatas Marshal
Gallagher sallied forth from Marshal
Baldwin's office yesterday afternoon and
placed the warrant lor Wei burn's arrest
in the breast-pocket of bis coat, he was
under the impression that it would be a
t.iaiter of an hour or so before he would
be able to find the Collector in some of his
favorite haunts.
But he hr.d reckoned without his host,
the aforesaid host being the Collector
himself, who was not in any of the popu
lar resorts along the line of his travels for
recreation. He traveled until he was foot
sore, but the missing man could not be
found. Marshal Baldwin himseif put in
several hours in investigating, but Jailed
to rind a single person who had seen the
Collector for three daya. Then the Mar
shal set his whole lorce of deputies on the
trail, but they met with no more success
than he had.
At midnight the Marshal went home
tired out and almost hopeless of catching
hia man.
There were two very peculiar facts con
nected with the disappearance of the un
fortunate official. At 4 o'clock in the aft
ernoon some one representing himself to
be Mr. Welburn telephoned to Marshal
Baldwin's office that he would call ana
deliver himself up at 5 o'clock. When
asked where he was he declined to an
swer, but the person at the telephone in
the Marshal's office said that the voice of
the speaker was not the voice of Mr. Wel
burn. A few minutes later the office was
rung up again, and the person receiving
the message is in doubt whether the voice
was that of the Collector or not.
At half-past 6 o'clock a person repre
senting himself as Welburn called up a
reporter in The Call editorial rooms and
inquired whether tne announcement in
the evening papers that a warrant had
been sworn out for his arrest was true. It
sounded very lite the Collector's voice,
but he declined to state where he was at
that time. He said that he would be
home last evening.
The Marshal and several reporters
visited the residence at 920 Grove street
THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JULY 1, 1897.
Chart of Northwest Part of the Indian Ocean, Showing Ras-Radressa Reef, Where the
Steamer Aden Was Lost.
Thesoundincß indicate the rapidity with which the water shoals as Ras-Radressa Reef is neared, and th» vessel had but
little warning of the danger. It will be seen from the chart that the Aden was driven by the storm nearly 100 miles north of
her proper court. The island of Socotra lies between the two routes from Aden to India arid far enough from either to give
but small prospect of relief except by a mere chance. The easiern end of the island, wbere tne wreck occurred, is uninhabited,
and but for the timely arrival of the search vessel Mayo, sent out by the Indian Government, tho fate of the steamer wpuld
never lave been known. There are no lights along these coasts till Aden is approached.
last night, at different times no to a late
hour, but ihey were informed that the
family did not know where Mr. Welburn
was and that he had not been home for
the last three days.
Norton's Sureties Object.
It was reported yesterday, on apparently
good authority, that the Eastern surety
company wfiich insured Cashier Norton's
honesty to the extent of $20,000 had defi
nitely decided to refuse to Day trie amount
on the technical plea that Collector Wel
burn was guilty of contributory nesligence
in not Keeping better track of Norton's
doings and accounts. •
II so this will mean a suit against the
company by Welburn »nd his bondsmen.
The Government has nothing to do
with Norton's bonils. Norton was secured
to Welburn and Welburn and his bonds
men are alone held responsible by the
Government for the amount of Norton's
defalcation.

Fatal Accident on the
Northwestern Road at
West Chicago.
One Section of the Endeavor
ers' Special Run Down by
a Section Following.
A Second Fatal Wreck Occurs on a !
Vandal'a Train, but None of t.ha
Delegates Are Injured.
CHICAGO, luu, Juno 30.— Section 4 ol
the Ctjiistian Endeavor special on the
Northwestern Railroad was run into by
section 5 about 1 o'clock this morning at
West Chicago, thirty miles from here.
I Three persons were Killed a.oC more than I
twenty injured. The killed were: Mrs. R. !
Shipman of Fond dv Lac, Wis. ; Mrs. John
Gooding of Fond dv Lac; an unknown
tramp.
The train was filled with excursionists
going to the Christian Endeavor Conven- i
tion. Nine sections left the Northwestern
depot herd at intervals of fifteen minutes, I
beginning at 10:30. Section 4 left at 11:13 I
nnd stopped at West Chicago to take water.
While the train was standing at the tank, j
section 5 struck the rear end of section 4 >
at full speed. Section 6, running under ;
close block orders, in some way got wrong |
instructions. Its locomotive plunged into
the Pullman coach Qarrisus, which in
turn telescoped the Pullman sleeper Cold
Springs. The passengers in the car, a few
M whom had gone to sleep, were crushed
in the wreckage.
In the two coaches were eighty persons.
Mrs. Shipman and Mrs. Gooding, the two
passengers who were killed, were in the
second sleeper. Mrs. Sbipman's ilaugh-.
ters were iound fast in the debris, but re
fused to be taken out until their mother
was rescued. The daughters were not
seriously hurt Mrs. Goodine was crushed
to death between the partitions of her
her. h. Charles Courtney, engineer of
section 5, was so seriously injured that he
cannot live.
Professor Leo Williams of Fond dv Lac
was found buried under a pile of debris,
and though unable to extricate himself he
escaped with a broken arm and a cut
wrist.
Two hotels in West Chicago were turned
into hospitals and physicians were
promptly in attendance.
The sections following those which met
the disaster — 6,7,8 and 9— carrying 2500
people, were delayed three hours. Finally
the north track was cleared and they were
enabled to proceed.
Assistant General Superintendent Wil
liam Gardner said this morning that he
could give no tangible reason for the cause
of the accident.
"The road is run on the semaphore
block system all the way to West Chi
cago," said Gardner. "This blocks a train
every IROO feet, and in addition we were
using last night what we call the positive
block system. •
'•This consisted in the operators at May
wood, Wheaton and West Chicago run
ning trains by wire and keeping a close
tab with the dispatches as to the time
each passed the station. Then the dis
patcher regulated the speed and distance
between trains."
"The road between Chicago and Turner
Junction is protected by the Hall block
system, and immediately after my arrival
last uight I tested the signals and found
them in perfect order," said General Su
perintendent J. C. Stuart to-day.
"Courtney must have been insane to
pass without seeing the two danger sig
nal?, which indicated a train ahead.
These si.-nals are placed 10C0 feet apart
and when at night cars pass over the
place where they are situated, a red light
shows, and any train following the one
wbich reisased the switch is supposed to
stop until the white lights sbow."
Engineer Courtney declares the signal
displayed denoted a clear track. He also
•■ys he was running carefully, and that
there was ample time to sr<.p the train
after be had sighted the train in front
but the air brakes refused to work. As
they were in good order at Dixon, five
roues back, he believes that tramps tam
pered with them.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 30.— Word
has been received here that many houses
in Excelsior Springs, Mo., have been
washed away, and possibly some lives lost
by the heaviest flood this section of coun
try has ever known. For five hours this
afternoon rain fell in torrents at Lawson
and neighboring towns, and Fishing River
was soon a rushing flood.
This river flows through Excelsior
Springs, and when the flood reached that
point it was a quarter of a mile wide.
Several houses and the big bottling works
were swept away and all railroad and
wagon bridges in the town destroyed.
It is reported that the Wabash day
train from St. Louis is caught between
two points where the bridges were washed
away and cannot be moved before morn
ing. The Burlington has a big washout
near Liberty, Mo., and passengers to Chi
