DRAGGED INTO
POLICE COURT
Howard Gould and Wife Called
to Testify About Employ
ment of Detectives.
By Cable to The Dally Gataway.
New York, May 25 Howard Gould
and Mrs. Gould must appear in the
police court to testify concerning their
alleged employment of police detect
ives to gather evidence against each
other, resulting in the suit for
divorce by Mrs. Gould.
Evidence has already been given to
disprove the story that Mrs. Gould was
married prior to her marriage to
Gould and that her first husband was
still living and undivorced when her
wedding to Gould took place.
Police Figure in Gould Case
New York, May 21—District At
torney Jerome today started an inves
tigation of the divorce suit of Mrs.
Howard Gould against her husband, in
preparing for which she is alleged to
have employed the police force of New

dence. She has filed suit for absolute
divorce, charging Gould with consort
ing with certain women.
Mrs. Gould wa* formerly Katherine
Clemmons, an actress, aud was on the
stage when Gould married her.
It is claimed that both Mr. and
Mrs. Gould have been employing de
tectives and the charge is afloat that
an effort has been made to induce
Samuel Dawson, a Baltimore theatri
cal manager to admit that he was
married to Miss Ciemmons before
Gould was.
SARATOGA ARRIVES AND
SAILS ON RETURN TRIP
Making Last Run for Seattle In Order
to Leave that Port on June
1 Schedule.
Steamer Saratoga arrived in j)ort at
;; o'clock yesterday afternoon and
sailed again for Seattle at noon today
without going westward because she
! is scheduled to Nail from Seattle June
1, or as soon thereafter as she can
get away, because the Northwestern
: company has no other boat available
! for that date, everything possible be
ing slated for the June run to Nome,
, the Yucatan among others. The crip
pling of the steamer Northwestern
j leave n the company one vessel shy of
its calculations for the summer.
The Saratoga sailed from Seattle
May is at 4 a. m. and seems likely to
make a record trip although she spent
nearly a day at Katalla, where she dis
charged 44X> tons of freight. She
brought 70,000 feet of bridge timber to
Seward for the railroad and a small
general cargo. Her passenger list was
twenty-three cabin and nine steerage.
YUCATAN COMES AND GOES
Transferred to Nome Run and Will
Not be Here Next Month
Steamer Yucatan arrived in port
from Seattle Sunday morning at 12:30
and sailed twenty-four hours later on
j the return trip. She brought fifteen
i first-class and twenty-three steerage
passengers from Seattle besides sever
al from Katalla and Valdez. The lat
ter were bridge carpenters for Watson
& Snow on the railroad work except
half a dozen Japanese who are going
westward on the Dora. The steamer
brought about seventy-five tons of
freight, of which fifty tons was hay for
the railroad company.
The Yucatan will sail for Nome
from Seattle next month but it is not
known whether she will make more
' than one trip to the north. Some
other vessel will have to be substituted
for her on this run June l,and perhaps
for additional trips.
The Hadley smelter resumed opera
| tions recently.

Ask Change of Venue
San Francisco, May 20— I'ale and
palpably nervous Mayor Schmitz ap
peared in court this morning for trial
on the extortion charge to which Huof
pleaded guilty. He was uneasy over
the report that Heney would ask that
he be placed in charge of the elisor.
Before court opened, however, one of
Schmitz’s attorneys stated that Heney
had agreed that Schmitz might con
tinue at large on bail.
Counsel for the defense asked for a
change of venue from Judge Dunne’s
department on the ground of prejudice
of the judge against the defendant.
The prosecution asked until tomorrow
to prepare a counter statement in op
position to the motion and the court
granted the continuance.
Refuses Change of Venue
San Francisco, May 21—The motion
of Mayor Schmitz for a change of
venue was denied this morning by
Judge Dunne. The decision was his
sed by persons in the courtroom when
announced. Calling jurors began im
mediately. It is expected that it will
take a long time to get a jury.
The committee of seven which orig
inated the investigations resigned to
day because the members were not
receiving the co-operation they asked
from the graft prosecutors, who, the
committee says, are now running the
city.
Will Not Seek to Delay Trial
San Francisco, May 22—Attorney
Caldwell, leading counsel for Mayor
Schmitz, stated this morning that he
would not employ dilatory tactics in
securing jurors for the trial of the
case. Judge Dunne expressed grati
fication at this attitude of the defense.
Three Jurors in Schmitz Case

houn. president of the United Rail*

| sued and it required much effort by
: the cooler heads to restore order.
Troy is an assistant district attorney
who is conducting an inquiry into the
franchise of the United Railroads
Company.

AUTO FALLS
INTO WATER

Riding With Kelley of Seat

By Cable to Tb« Bally Gateway.
Seattle, May 24—While an auto was
running at a high rate of speed on
the West Seattle boulevard yesterday

dropped into fifteen feet of water. In

hours and the rioters used axes,

STEAMER YUCATAN HAS
MIX-UP WITH A WHALE
Just One Swift Jolt In the Slats and
Sea Monster Hurries to Yield
Right of Way.
The steamer Yucatan bumped a
whale south of Latouche coming this
way so hard that people aboard the
vessel thought she had struck a rock
and some of them got ready to organ
ize a panic. Before nervous persons
had time to yell twice the whale had
side-stepped and the steamer proceeded
calmly on her way.
The whale rose suddenly in the boat’s
path and the prow struck the monster
amidships, nautically, or In the slats,
as anatomy is understood in the prize
ring. The passengers in the bow of
the ship who saw the mix-up are of
the opinion that it was a lady whale
because it did not turn and roar like a
man who has been tipped over by a
dump-cart. It merely glided away
like a lady who has been insulted by a
masher, and yet the spectators thought
they detected symptoms of physical in
jury as if the whalebone corset worn
by the big tish had suffered some
damage.
