tion has been held with Lineman Lo
Can's party, which left on Jan, 23 ovet
the land trulls for the scene of the
wreck on the Valencia.
The party reached the spot before
the wreck broke up on Wednesday and
were helpless witnesses to the tragic
death of nearly two score people who
were swept to death by the tremend
ous waves which swept over the hulk
of tho wrecked steamer.
The Valencia lay 75 yards from the
foot of the bluff from the top of which
they could plainly see the people
clinging to tho rigging and huddled on
the hurricane deck.
The people on the ship cheered
wildly whon they saw the party on
shore, evidently thinking that they
were to be roscued.
About noon an immense wave struck
the wreck and crushed everything to
pieces. Everyone was swept into the
sea and to their death, while the party
on shore stood unable to do anything
for them.
37 Survivors of Valencia Wreck.
With only 37 of the 154 persons on
board known to be safe, the wrecked
steamer Valencia now lies submerged
and broken on the Vancouver coast
five miles from Cnpe Beale.
Ashore several rescue parties are
tolling over difficult trails, some carry
ing succor to those who were washed
ashore in a pitiable plight and others
scouring the rugged rocks of the sea
shore seeking Buch survivors as may
have reached shore. Still others are
engaged in the melancholy duty of re
covering bodies.
Of the 37 persons definitely account
ed for, and these do not include three
men believed to be survivors seen on
shore by the whaling vessel Orion, 6lx
have been taken off the Salvor
bruised, half naked and exhausted.
Nine others In a similar plight are still
camped on Darling creek In a tele
graph hut.

Police Superintendent Bull Resigns.
Mayor J. N. Adam of Buffalo last
week sent a letter to Police Com
missioners poherty and Uupp asking
to be excused from sitting in the trial
of Superintendent Bull, who Is charged
with failing to turn In to the city
treasurer at the proper time money re
ceived from dog tax and pistol per
mits. Mayor Adam mado the request on
the ground that he considered the
commissioners both guilty of the same
offense upon which they proposed to
try Bull and that the present trial
was designed to thwart a trial on more
Serious Charges. The commissioners
joted not to excuse the mayor, but the
tatter left the room after the proceed
ings began.
Superintendent Bull pleaded not
guilty to three specifications relating
to the alleged misuse of J9.000 of the
police pension fund and guilty to the
charge of neglect of duty.
Superintendent Bull's resignation
was asked for by the commissioner?
and It was at once placed In their
hands. Both commissioners praised
the work accomplished by the super
intendent In his administration of the
affairs of the department, but in view
of his plea It became their duty to
ask him to resign.
Superintendent Bull issued a signed
Ctatement In which he said that the
shortage of $9,000 which he made good
In December was the result of lax
methods of bookkeeping. He as
sumed all the responsibility for the
unbusinesslike methods In handling
the fund, but declnred that neither he
nor any of his friends had received a
cent of the money. An expert ac
countant will endeavor to straighten
out the tangle.
Editor Hapgood Acquitted.
An unusually sensational trial came
to an end In New York city when

supreme court reported that Norman
Hapgood, editor of Collier's Weekly,
was not guilty of criminal libel. The
case had been on trial several weeks.
The verdict was rendered 10 min
utes after the case had been given to
the Jury. The charge against Mr.
Hapgood was brought at the Instiga
tion of Justice Joseph M. Deuel of the
court of special sessions and was
based upon an editorial article In
which tho editor criticised Justice
Justice Deuel for his connection with
Town Topics.

and publisher of Town Topics, was ar
rested in his office on the complaint of

sions. The bewhlskered colonel was
released on $10,000 ball, which was
furnished by his daughter, Mrs. Emma

Missing Girl Located.
Columbus Paugh of Upper Potomac,
W. V., claims to have located Miss
Maud Hnynes, aged 12, who, according
to a newspaper dispatch, mysteriously
disappeared from her home at Oak
land, Pa about the middle of Decem
ber, 1905.
Mr. Paugh has written two letters
to tho girl's parents, using the name
and address In the newspaper dispatch
but both have been returned unopened.
He also wrote to the postmaster at
Susquehanna, Pa., Just across the river
from Oakland, and received the reply
that no one Is missing from there.
Mr. Paugh feels certain from the cir
cumstances surrounding his finding
of the girl that she Is being kept from
her parents, possibly by forcible
means. He also believes that by an
error In the newspaper dispatch her
parents' address was wrongly given.
He will welcome any Information
which will lend to the restoration of
the child to her parents.

CLOSE OF A LONG REIGN.
The Startlingly Sudden Death
of Christian IX of Denmark.
King Christian Attended His Usual
Monday's Public Audience Seized
With Indisposition at Lunch and
Died an Hour Later In Arms .of
Dowager Empress of Russia.
Copenhagen, Jan. 30. Christian the
Ninth, the aged King of Denmark,
dean of the crowned heads of Europe,
father of King George of Greece, of
Queen Alexandra of Great Britain and
Ireland and of the Dowager Empress
Ilarla Feodorovna of Russia, grand
father of King Haakon the Seventh of
Norway, and related by blood or by
marriage to most of the European
rulers, died with startling suddenness
in, the Amallenborg palace yesterday
afternoon. The accession of his suc
cessor, Prince Frederick, his eldest
son, who will be known as Frederick
the Eighth, was proclaimed today.
The following official bulletin was
Issued last night:
"His majesty died at 3:30 o'clock
this afternoon. After his majesty had
brought this morning's audience to a
conclusion, he appeared to be quite
well and proceeded to luncheon as
usual. Towards the end of the meal
he gave evidence of Indisposition and
was compelled to retire to bed at 2:30
p. m. His majesty passed away peace
fully, the symptoms Indicating heart
failure."
This brief bulletin tells concisely the
story of the death scene, which found
every one, even those who realized the
Increasing feebleness of the king, un
prepared for the sudden shock.
The death of King Christian has
plunged half the courts of Europe into
the deepest mourning and brought a
sense of personal loss as well as of
sincere grief to every one through
out the kingdom of Denmark, reach
ing even to the humblest cottage, evi
dences of which are shown every
where. It has cast a pall over the
palaces of the monarchs of Great Brit
ain, Russia, Norway and Greece.
The quick taking away of this dis
tinct personality, who has for so long
been a center of Interest not only In
his own country but throughout the
clvllired world, almost paralyzed the
community and unnerved the business
world of Denmark.
Every flag of the city Is at half
mast, all the places of amusement are
closed and the people walk the streets
as though they were passing through
the chamber of death Itself.
King Christian appeared to be In
usual health yesterday morning. Aft
er taking breakfast he held a public
audience, which it had been his cus
tom to do every Monday morning. The
reception was largely attended and his
majesty conversed freely and affably
with a number of officials and other
persons.
When the function was over, the
king, though appearing to be slightly
fatigued, attended luncheon with the
members of his family, among whom
were the Dowager Empress of Russia
and his brother, General Prince Hans.
During the meal his majesty complain
ed of indisposition and was assisted
to his bedroom by the dowager em
press and Prince Hans. A court phy
sician was quickly summoned, but by
the time he arrived the king had col
lapsed. The physician used prompt
restoratives but his efforts were use
less and King Christian expired almost
without uttering a word in the arms of
the dowager empress and in the pres
ence of the court physician and Prince
Hans.
Just as the king breathed his last
Crown Prince Frederick, who had
been summoned, entered the room and
the other members of the royal family
arrived shortly afterwards.
Nothing Is definitely known at pres
ent concerning the arrangements for
the funeral and it will necessarily be
some time before anything regarding
these arrangements Is officially an
nounced. Telegrams and cablegrams of condo
lence are pouring In, Including mes
sages from all the sovereigns of En
rope and the Danish colonies.
Premier Chrlstensen last night ten
dered his resignation of the cabinet
to the new king, who expressed a
wish that the present ministry should
continue to carry on the affairs of the
government.
It had been known for some time
that King Christian's health was fail
ing. His physicians recommended a
change of air and the king decided to
take their advice. It was his Inten
tion to go south In the near future, ac
loinpanied by the Dowager Empress
ot Russia.

SPEED KING OF THE WORLD.
Victor Demogeot Drove His Gasoline
Car Two Miles In 58 4-5 Seconds.
Ormond-Daytona Beach, Fla., Jan.
30. Victor Demogeot of France was
crowned speed king of the world on
the Daytona sands, after driving his
gasoline car two miles in the marvel
ous time of 58 4-5 seconds. Demogoet
maintained a speed of 123 miles an
hour to make this record.
The competition of this event had
narrowed down to Mariott in tho
steamer and to the big 200-horse power
French car, to drive which Demogeot
was finally selected.
On the first trial the best Mariott
could do was one minute and three
seconds. Demogeot brought the crowd
to its feet by reducing the time to one
minute one and two-fifths seconds.
Referee Morrill decided to give each
car a trial to see Jf the time could be
brought within the minute.
Mariott came first again and this
time went faster. He made the two
miles in 59 3-5 seconds. It seemed
impossible that the clumsy-looking
French car could reduce this, but the
Florida Times-Union $1,000 trophy
was lost to America a few minutes
later when Demogeot thundered over
the course in 58 4-5 seconds, the fast
est speed ever attained by an automo
bile. Demogeot was crowned with a
laurel wreath by Miss Mary SImrall of
Ormond, Fla., while the crowd of sev
eral thousand persons cheered. An
automobile parade ended tho tourna
ment. Wants to Take Van Schaick's Place.

day. Short said that he was aboard
the steamer at the time she burned
with great loss of life In June, 1904.
To the United States marshal to whom
he made this offer Short said: "I saw
and heard Captain Van Schaick ring
the alarm bell at the fire and I know
he is innocent. He is an old man, too
old to go to prison, and I am a young
man ready to take his place and serve
his sentence." Mr. Short's offer was
not accepted and he was led out of
the room. Van Schaick, who had been
found guilty of criminal negligence as
commander of the burned steamboat,
was released In $10,000 ball.
