Schwab Didn't See Anything Else He
Wanted and Let Bandit Go.
About 2 o'clock Leo Schwab, of
the Big Island lodging honse, ap
peared at the police station with
an empty revolver, hat and about
half an Inch of human finger. He
explained that he had been held
up on the Washington st. viaduct
by a lone higbwayniart armed with
a revolver and formorly possessed
of the fragment of finger.
While the thug was seAfctilrtg
Schwab's olothing for valuables he
carelessly gave his intended vic
tim an opportunity to get hold of
the gun. Schwab grabbed the gun
and hung on for dear life, fighting
to the best of his ability. In the
melee he got the highwayman's
finger in his mouth. The two
struggled around for several sec
onds, Schwab still clinging desper
ately to the revolver with his
hand s and to the. finger in. a vlce :
like grip with his teeth.
Bone and sinew soon erfpitulated
to teeth. When the robber finally
got away, Schwab held a three

his mouth, the gun and robber's
hat. He tried to fire at the re
treating thief, but tho gun was
empty. Not being hungry, he saved

City Engineer Ralston yesterday
ordered the Olive st. bridge closed
ponding a further Inspection as to
its safety. The bridge never was
meant for streetcar traffic, and the
great crowds of baseball fans that
have been carried over it lately
have weakened it perceptibly so
that there is danger of its col
lapse if it is put to much more
strain. This Is the bridge that the
council is at present working on
with a view to replacing with a
new structure.
The county has agreed to pay
$20,000 toward It and tho Traction
one half of tho balance of the
cost. It is claimed that the new
structure will cost approximately
$75,000. Engineer Ralston is now
at work on specifications.
Owing to the closing of the
bridge the Traction Co. coupled
some big Inland cars together and
ran a loaded special out over the
Inland tracks at 2:40. The regular
baseball cars went around by way
of the Gonzaga college route,
which will have to be used while
the bridge is closed. In this man
ner the crowd was handled in
fairly good shape.

THE SPOKANE PRESS
BLOODY DAY
IN PERSIA
TEHERAN, June 23.—A crisis of
the Persian trouble was reached
today when Cossacks surrounded
the house of parliament and de
manded the surrender of a number
of political prisoners.
It is feared the shah will be kill
ed by the disaffected part of the
army, which joined revolutionists
in open revolt.
The demand was met by shots
and several Cossacks were killed.
Reinforcements arrived with artil
lery and firing followed.
The parliament house is entirely
surrounded by troops and the shah
is a prisoner in the summer palace.
Several plots against his life have
been discovered.
The shah's troops have mas
sacred 800 revolutionists, sustain
ing a small loss to their own
ranks.
BERLIN, June 23.—Dispatches
say the massacre at Teheran, cap
ital of Persic, was the bloodiest
and most horrible in the history of
that country. Tonight the city is
literally covered with blood and
terror Is spreading over all the
provinces.
The carnage is the direct result
of an order of the shah command
ing the troops to fire and the im
perial artillery to turn Its batteries
on crowds around the palace.
Hundreds were mowed down by
the volleys, which were followed
by a free for all butchery. Women
and children were not spared, but
were murdered by frenzied soldiers
and their bodies mutilated.
Eighteen reform leaders were
brought before the shan, who or
dered them shot. A mob attacked
the soldiers and seized the prison
ers. The leaders were literally
chopped to pieces by the heavy
swords of the troops. Whole sec
tions of the city were looted.

SPOOK GUIDED BANK
WRECKER CONVICTED
SAN FRANCISCO, June 23.—
Crushed and stunned by the blow
of conviction, and almost certain
of having to join his former busi
ness associate, J. Dalzell Brown,
in prison, Walter J. Bartnett, bank
er, attorney and politician, is today
confined to his home on the verge
of collapse.
His chief counsel gave notice of
Intention to take an appeal from
last night's verdict finding Bart
nett guilty of embezzling the Col
ton securities, the loss of which
caused the failure of the Califor
nia Safe Deposit & Trust Co.
Meanwhile Bartnett is out on

pronounced Tuesday morning.
Prosecutor Cook says today that
he will not press other charges
against Bartnett. The jury was
out less than an hour.
Special Correspondence to The Press
SAN FRANCISCO, June 23—If
you had seen a hundred or more
honest, hard working men, entrust
ing each week to a big financial in
stitution, a few cents or a few dol
lars saved from the fruits of six
days' labor, that their wives and
little ones might never suffer the
pangs of poverty and destitution—
If you had seen that financial in
stitution crash in ruins, carrying
with It the little hoard so carefully
and bravely laid by—
If you had known that sorrow,
anguish and despair was brought
into a hundred homes solely
through the traitorous dealings of
a gang of a great city's "most re
spected" citizens —
If you had been told that that
gang had criminally used the
money entrusted to them In furth
ering wild schemes directed by ad
visors in the "spirit world" —
If you had heard one of that
gang confess in open court his
guilt, his confidence in spirit ad
vice—tell of astounding acts of
law-breaking—
Then would there be any pity in
your heart save for the working
man who was robbed of his little
all?
"An absurd question I"
It Is not. For rlgbt here in San
Francisco there are men and wom
en who not only sympathize but
are expressing their sympathy for
J. Dalzell Brown and Walter J.
Bartnett, former officials of the
California Safe Deposit & Trust
Co., the failure of which a few
months ago was the most sensa
tional in the financial history of
California.
J. Dalzell Brown Ib a convict

a year to come will consist solely

of the penitentiary. Once he was
"Banker" Brown, a leader in San
Francisco's most exclusive set.
With the failure of his bank, with
charge following charge of mis
management and embezzlement,
strengthened daily by damning evi
dence of criminal financiering of
the wildest schemes, of lending
large sums of depositors' money
on worthless security, of the sub
stitution and hypothecation of se
curities entrusted to him, Brown's
spirit broke. He came into court
and confessed his guilt.
It was not until Brown, the con
vict, was placed on the witness
stand In the trial of Walter J.
Bartnett, a former director of the
defunct bank, that the astounding
fact became established that
ghostly seances had been the guid
ing influence of those bankers in
the use of hard-earned dollars of
honest men.
You have read about the letters
Bartnett wrote to Brown Just be
fore their flimsy structure fell
about their ears.
"Dear friend," he wrote once,
"four bank presidents have been
forced to resign. This should be

And again, in speaking of some
proposed projects, Bartnett wrote:

for the spirits in the bank's cipher

And even now, with a peniten

tragic and pitiful fruits ot his fan

Brown still clings to the belief in
the potency of ghostly advice in
financial dealings.

SA YS DUTCH JAKE
CALL FROM REV. HINDLEY IN
CLINES FAMOUS LIQUOR
DEALER TO PROPHECY OF
DRY TOWN IN FIVE YEARS.
That Spokane will be a prohibi
tion town in five years is the
prophecy of "Dutch Jake" Goetz,
one of the proprietors of the Coeur
d'Alene theater, yesterday. This
coming from one of the oldest li
quor men, who has fought with
the interests of the tenderloin for
years and has been a political fac
tor of the Second ward, is particu
larly significant.
The declaration followed a visit
from Rev. W. J. Hindley. Rev.
Hindley and Jake conversed for
several minutes standing right
there at the bar. Finally Jake
"set 'em up." Oh, no! Rev. Hind

handed out cigars.

CITY ENGINEER TO
ASK FOR $10,000
The mass of public Improve
ments requiring inspection, aud
also carelessness on the part of ex-
Clty Engineer Mclntyre in putting
on such inspectors, is attributed at
the city hall as the cause of the
early exhaustion of the $11,700 ap
propriated for the inspectors' fund
for the 18 mouths to include De
cember. Comptroller Falrley has
refused to pay 18 inspectors for
last month's work owing to there
be'ng no money left in thhe fund.
As the Inspectors are now in
charge of the city engineer, he will
ask the council tonight for an ap
propriation of $10,000 out of the
general fund to defray the inspec
tion expense until the end of the
year.
When the appropriations were
made it was estimated that the
amount would carry all expenses
of the Inspection, and allowance

CRITICALLY ILL
Nominee for Vice President Is Victim
of Dangerous Disease.
CLEVELAND, June 23. —James
S. Sherman, nominee for vice pres

critically ill at Lakeside hospital
from gallstones.
He was taken to the hospital
this morning and his family sum
moned. They took the first train
from Utica, N. Y.
Announcement was made at the
hospital this afternoon that Sher
man was improved and that an op
eration would probably not be ne
cessary. He has been under a
heavy strain for the past two
weeks and the physicians believe
that a rest will put him on his
feet. Sherman had been treated
for the disease once before at Bal

WHOLESALE
HOUSTON, Tex., June 23—No
tices were posted today ordering
all negroes to leave Sabin county
Immediately or "stand the conse

of nine blacks after two white men
were slain by negroes there is no
doubt in the minds of the negroes
what is meant by "consequences."
One notice reads: "This is going
to be a white man's county."
The negroes are armed, and ev
ery white man in the county is
carrying a rifle or shotgun today.
Excitement is highest about
Hamphill, near the scene of the
lynching last night.
Several negroes were shot and
the rest hanged, five being sus
pended to one tree.
STABS OFFICER
IN FACE
JOE SCOTT HAS THRILLING
FIGHT WITH CRAZED VICTIM
OF MORPHINE ARMED WITH
A KNIFE.
Blood flowed freely late yester
day In a fight at the entrance to
Jimnile Durkin's Howard st. saloon
between Patrolman Joe Scott and
Arthur H. Rogers, a morphine
fiend, crazed by the drug. Rogers
was running around the streets
with a knife in his hand when
pedestrians notified Scott, who set
out in pursuit. Rogers bolted Into
Durkin's place with drawn knife
and shouted:
"Give me a drink before they
murder me."
Then the policeman told him to
quiet down and put the knife away.
Without a word of warning
Rogers slashed at the policeman's
throat and cut him in the cheek.
They grappled then, and Rogers
was felled by a heavy blow over
the head from the officer's night
stick. Still he fought desperately,
and only the superior strength and
club of the policeman saved him
from serious injury with the
knife. Patrolman Pike came up
and then Rogers was taken to
Jail.
In the emergency hospital, where
Dr. Woodruff bound his head, he
constantly moaned for the attend
ants to either give him morphine
or kill him. An endeavor to cure
him of the drug habit will be made
by sentencing him to serve a term
in the county jail.

gardner who for years lias been

R. C. Dillingham's lawn, was taken
suddenly ill with heart trouble late

being a miser.
When the patrol reached the
Dillingham home Henke refused to
be taken to the hospital. "I want
to' die," he moaned. "Take me
home." He was taken to his home,
but the place was squalid and un
sanitary, so Dr. C. E. Eikenbary or
dered the patient taken to Sacred

Following the attack Mrs. Dill
