HOT SPRINGS, May 25.— The pool rooms were unmercifully fleeced to-day by a clever wire tapping, easily exe cuted on account of the recent stoppage of the Western Union service. Four races were wrongfully reported and settled for, and as a result the local poolrooms lost thousands of dollars. In the first race at St. Louis they paid on Sylvan Belle to win. which ran third. In the third race settlement was made on JIngler to win, which was not In the money. P. J. Somers. in the first race at Chicago, was wired a win ner, when "Watermelon *von, and in the third race Aunt Katherine was given as the winner when La Londe came in first.

OOFFEY'S LAOCOON' The other vessels on the reinsurance list ar« quoted as follows: I-amorna and Conemaugh. fK> per cent; lima and Leyland Bros., 10 per cent, and Laura. 15 per cent. It is feared that disaster has befallen on* of a number of sailing vessels which left New Tork or Philadelphia about a month ago, load ed with case coal oil and bound for an oriental port. The British steamship Florida, which arrived at New Tork yesterday from Cal cutta, reports that May 5. about 100 miles east of the Nantucket light, she passed a lot of wreckage, among which were, many cases of coal oil. A rait and small boat, the latter upwldedown. were seen among the flotsam. The day before meeting the wreckage the Florida experienced a very severe gale. As a result of this report every Hailing vessel loaded with coal oil that could have been in the vicinity of this wreckage was posted for reinsurance. The wreckage may have come from any of the following vessels: Brlttsh ship Juteopolls. out SI days from New Tork for Penang: German ship Neck, out 21 days from New) Tork for Yokohama: British bark Wynford. out 28 days from New Tork for Shanghai: British ship Queen Elizabeth, out 87 days from New Tork for Hongkong; French nhtp La Rochecoucauld. out 34 days from New Tork for Shanghai: British chip Largo Law. out 31 days from Philadelphia for Fremantle and the German ship Willy Rlckmers. out 26 days from Phil adelphia, for Nagasaki. They are all quoted at 6 per cent, and the reinsurance speculator who can Dick the lost vessel will realize big returns on bis Investment. Wreckage Tells of Disaster. Whenever an advertisement is de clared, to be beyond the pale of Ameri can law the Paper Publishing Associa tion will be notified and this associa tion in turn will notify the papers con taining the/objectionable matter. Pa pers not reported in the publishers' as sociation will be notified by the de partment directly. Whenever a paper persists in publishing such advertise ments after notification, it will bo de nied the use of the mails. This plan of procedure was made and announced at the Postofflce Department to-day. The Postmaster General has been in correspondence for a long time with the publishers' association and with medical societies and others on this subject and they have promised thor ough co-operation. Mr. Robb, former assistant attorney general for the 'Postofflce Department, when the postal scandals were on, went into the question of patent medicine advertisements and his work in issu ing fraud orders has been continued by Judge Goodwin, his successor, who al so has taken up the question of other advertisements. It %vas announced that there was to be no general crusade against objec tionable advertisements in newspapers, but that each case would be taken up individually by law officers of the de partment and whenever a violation of the law was shown, the newspapers containing such advertisements would be prohibited the use of the mails. The law department of the postofflce will itself pass on the character of the ad vertisements and its decision will be considered final. CALL BUREAU, HOTEL BARTON. WASHINGTON, May 25.— Officials of the Postoffice Department have decided to establish a censorship over news paper advertisements and, with the avowed intention of improving their tone, will go into this question with some thoroughness. Special Dispatch to The Call. The movements of the Stewart Fruit Company, recently organized with a capital of $100,000, are being watched with considerable interest by Northern California fruitmen, for It is generally understood that the new concern is part of the Santa Fe Company's project to compete with the Southern Pacific Company in securing a big share of the deciduous fruit shipment from the Sacramento Valley. The Santa Fe officials have denied that their road is backing the'com pany, but the denial has not satisfied the public curiosity, especially in view of the fact that the president of the Stewart Fruit Company, "W. H. Stew art, was until recently the Southern California representative of the Cali fornia fruit agency, and Its vice pres ident, R. E. Lyons, was connected with the distributors' combine, both of which organizations are closely allied with the Southern Pacific Company. Yesterday the distributors' associa tion, of which Alden Anderson is the head, held a meeting at the Palace Ho tel and invited J. S. Leeds, manager of the Santa Fe's refrigerating car serv ice, who is completing the plans of that company for its Northern California invasion, to be present. Although the members of the association declined to give out any details • regarding Just what took place at the meeting, it was learned that they closely questioned Leeds about the new fruit company, and particularly regarding the reports that it has the financial backing of the railroad company. Leeds, it is said, denied that the fruit company was being financially assisted by the Santa Fe, but one thing he did not deny, and that was that the company was inspired by the Santa Fe. According to the best re ports the Stewart Fruit Company has extensive plans for establishing agen cies throughout the Sacramento River district and will contract to handle all the fruit it can get over the Santa Fe line into Chicago. In short, the cre ation of the company is looked upon as the fulfillment of the threat recent ly made by' the Santa Fe that within a month it would have representation in ever^ shipping point north of San Francisco. President Stewart of the new com pany is in this city conferring with Manager Leeds of the Santa Fe car service. Another reception was held in the divinity school this afternoon with evening prayer conducted by the Bish op and newly-made deacons. The new^ deacons have been assigned to duty as' follows: C. M. Marrick, assistant to the rector of St. Luke's Church, San Francisco; "W. It. Hodgkin, assistant to Rev. E. L. Parsons. St. Mark's Church. Berkeley, and F. U. Bugbee. assistant to Rev. Mr. Guthrie, rector of Alameda church. SAN MATEO. May 25.— The Church of St. Mathew was crowded beyond its seating capacity by a fashionable audi ence this morning to witness the ordi nation exercises of the divinity school. Three students were ordained into the order of deacons— C. M. Marrick, W. R. Hodgkin and F. U. Bugbee. The services were conducted by Right Rev. William Ford Nichols, Bishop of Cali fornia, assisted by Dean Trew of Los Angeles, who preached the ordination sermon. Besides the Rev. "W. H. Powell of the Santa Clara Divinity school and the local rector. Rev. N. B. W. Gallway, there were also several visiting clergy men and a large number of the laity from other parishes. A special car* was required to accommodate the visitors from San Francisco. The procession of priests, deacons and students, headed by the choir, from the parish house to the church, was a most impressive and interesting spectacle, which became more dramatic as it proceeded down the aisle singing the "Processional" to the accompaniment of the . mighty music from the grand organ. Immediately following the solemn and impressive ceremonies of ordina tion a "reception was held in the parish house at which all visitors and parish ioners were Invited to partake of re freshments.
