ARE DENOUNCED
Lawyer Tarleton, Representing
Fred Tolle, Makes Charge
of a Conspiracy.
CONDEMNS THE CRUSADE
Says Interlopers Have Dropped
Into San Antonio For Pur
pose of Persecuting.
Charging a conspiracy to aid a con
test of Fred Tolle’s application for a
liquor license, in his arrest on two
charges of permitting gambling on
premises controlled by him, Leo Tarle-1
ton, Tolle's attorney, denounced in I
burning terms what he called persecu
tion of San Antonio citizens by Gover '
nor Campbell’s agents, when Tolle’s,
case was called yesterday afternom in
Judge Fisk’s court.
The charges against Tolle were filed
on Thursday by Assistant District At
torney Chambers, against wnom the
force of Tarleton's remarks were evi
dently directed. Tolle at once gave bond
in one ease and his arraignment in the
other took place yesterday at 2 p. m. ]
State Moves to Continue.
County Attorney T. .1. Newton, who
was prosecuting, moved for a continu
ance on the grounds of the absence in
Denton, Texas, of one of the state’s
material witnesses, and the serious ill
ness of William McRae, another.
At this point Mr. Tarleton jumped to
his feet and delivered his tirade.
“This effort to get a continuance.”
said he. “is just a part of the pro
gram. This case is nothing but a con
spiracy to defeat Mr. Tolle's an plica I
tion in the county court for a liquor]
license* How significantly Mr. Kearful. i
the Anti Saloon League’s attorney,stat |
ed the other day that these contests of ]
liquor license applications were only a |
mere feature of a gigantic erusade.
Refers to Bunker Hill Bavtle
“But, gentlemen, this persei ution
will be resisted until every last man I
goes down in the ditch. There wasn’t I
half as much cause at Lexington and |
Bunker Hill to resist the English as
there is in San Antonio today to resist |
these interlopers who have dropped from i
the skies and who are attempting to |
govern our state and city towards their
own ends; who are here to steal the'
livery of Heavmi to serve the devil in; i
who know not conscience and who are '
like nothing so much as an inflated gas .
bag.
“I have a supreme contempt for pet-1
tifogging magistrates holding an ap- |
pointment from the governor who seek ]
to be iron dictators. Gentlemen, 1 am '
fighting for a principle and against a ]
crusade that is degrading my state and j
injuring it.”
At this point Mr. Tarleton called tip |
the question, in law. of the right of a
party to make an affidavit where he
is without personal knowledge and call ;
ed for Mr. Chambers, who was present,'
to take the stand, declaring: “If he]
says he has personal knowledge of gam
bling on this defendant's premises. 1'H
have him placed under bond. If he
says he has not. then I’ll ask that your (
honor dismiss this ease.”
Judge Sustains Chambers.
Mr. Chambers refused to take the
stand but stated openly that his affi
davit u%s made upon information di
rectly conveyed to him and not upon
personal knowledge, contending that he
was fully within the law. Judge Fisk
upheld his claim and granted the mo
tion for continuance, naming the date
of a new trial indefinite and conting
ent upon the recovery of the witness,
McRae.
Tolle Shakes Chambers' Hand.
In front of the court hou«c. after the
proceeding. Tolle made the acquaint
ance of Mr. Chambers, with whom he
shook hands and to whom he declared
he had never permitted gambling in his
premises. Mr. Chambers' reply was that
he had been told a poker game had
been played either regularly or upstairs
over Tolle’s saloon. The latter’s claim
was that he had no upstairs to his sa-
Ibon. “I believe you mean all right,
Chambers,” said he. “and I'm glad te
meet you, but you're mistaken in this
case. ’ ’

Vancouver. B. C., Aug. 28.—That th»
i destruction of the steamer Ohio off
Point Steep Thursday winning cost the
’ lives of at least 15 meu and gave the
world the records of three heroic deaths
worthy of first rank in the auuais of
tragedy at sea, was made known this
afternoon when the steamer Rupert
City brought 196 survivors into this
port.
“Certainly not fewer than fifteen
persons were lost, ’ ’ declared C. N.
Bring, one of the most prominent mine
operators of Cordeova. “I am of the
; opinion that there might have been
1 half a dozen others whose names may
; never be known, because their names
, were rot on the passenger list, and they
I were known only to the purser, who is
cast telling now.
“Take my case, for instance. I did
not buy my ticket at the office as I
was kept busy right up to the moment
of departure and rushed down just a
few minutes before the gang plank was
taken in and had to buy my ticket on
board. I know there were more, at
least half a dozen other men who did
the same thing.' ’
Two Heroes on Boat.
A. I. Heney, a prominent railroad
contractor, was the largest individual
loser by the disaster outstrte of the own
ers of the steamer. Hehey said to
night: “There are two things I will
never forget about this wreck. One is
the coolness and skill shown by Wheel
man Johnson, of the Ohio, in navigat
ing her into shallow waters with his
ship in a sinking condition. The other
i is the heroic role which was played bv

more than would be expected of a man

no longer available to communicate to
