WOMEN AT LOS ANGELES The Last Day of the Parlia- ment Drew a Very Large Audience. Wife and Wage-Earner Discussed From Various and Sundry Points of View. LOS ANGELES, CaL., Oct, 9.—The sec- ond and last day of the Woman’s Parlia- ment drew a large audience to the First Methodist Episcopal Church. Thesubject announced was a symposium of women suffrage from the standpoint of wife, mother, workingwomen, business women, professional women and politician. The first paver was read by Mrs. Carlista } Willard Scott of Fairmount. She believed that the ideal wife of to-day expands her ivities in every direction, avoids antag- g man, but her present limitations prevent her filling her highest destiny. | Mrs. Katherine Phillips Edson, a grad- | uate of Vassar, from the standpoint of a | motber presented an interesting and logi- cal paperand delivered it in an earnest and convincing manner. Mrs. Mary V. Bowman claimed that woman needs the ballot for several reasons: She is amenable to law; to give her equal pay with men for equal work; because she is a taxpayer; because it is just; because, in the census of 1890, out of 65,000,000 peo- ple more than 2,000,000 are woman wage- earners and a vast number widows and maids. Miss Gabrelle Stickney defined the work- ing woman as one ‘‘who does with her might what her hands find to do.” She | was very earnest in advocating the ne- | cessity of the representation of the great i}mfis of workingwomen 1n legislative alls. | __A very unique paper was read by Mrs. | Harriet Strong, who owns a large ranch | devoted to orange and walnut culture. To the professional woman an open market | was as necessary as to man, and suffrage | was as necessary to her advancement. “Trade per se has no sex,” said she; “neither should the ballot havesex.” Mrs. Elizabeth G. Young of Lordsburg read the | last paper before adjournment, reviewing | the subject politically. Her address wasa | fitting ending to this most successful, en- | tertaining and beneficial convention, bein, | fulf of vitality, sparkling with wit an strong in lo; The interest manifested | in this parliament makes.the gathering | next year something to look forward to. | The papers were temperate throughout, were far above the average generally pre- | seuted at such gatherings, and not one ad- | verse criticism has been heard. The par- liament was an unqualified success. CRAZY NOBLEMAN. A Los Angeles Freak Wanted to Murder His Wife. LOS ANGELES, Cax., Oct. 9.—Just after | & commission haa pronounced a man named JDetlecoruillerie insane and he was being escorted out of Judge McKinley’s courtroom by a deputy sheriff, he made a { dash for his wife and little child, who were 1n the courtrcom, and it required the main force of six men to hold him down. He wants to kill his wife, imagining that she is possessed by the devil and under his control. Detlecoruillerie is a nobleman by birth, belonging to a high Belgian family. S Errington’s Trial. LOS ANGELES, CavL., Oct. 9.—The trial of J. Bidwell Errington, charged with the killing of Herbert E. Jones, was resumea this morning, Mrs. Emma Laciere, who was hit by one of the stray bullets, and Elm er B. Braun testitied as'to the facts of the shooting and Dr. E. H. Bryant, who attended the murdered man, described the nature of the wounds inflicted. Court was adjourned at the noon hour out of respect to the late Judge Anson Bruanson. =g ok Rhinestrom Remanded. LOS ANGELES, CaL., Oct. 9.—J. Rhine- strom, who is confined in the City Prison, will not be released on a writ of habeas corpus. Superior Judge Smith heard the matter this morning and remanded Rhine- strom to_custody, fixing bail at $800.

His friends will not furnish the il o Senge e To Transport Oil. 108 ANGELES, CaL., Oct.9.—The mem- bers of the executive board of the Oil Ex- change left Los Angeles for San Francisco this afternoon on the 2 o’clock train. Every arrangement hasbeen made for the transportation of oil by water and there only remains now the discussion of some of the minor details and theaffixing of the signatures of the contracting parties. The name of the company which will furnish transportation is still withheld. Ao e i Will Not Survey the Line. RIVERSIDE, CaL., Oct. 9.—The Board of Supervisors of this connty decided to- day not to survey the boundary iine be- tween thisand S8an Bernardino counties. The cause of this decision is that the cost of the work is considered beyond the reach of the county at this time, and also the Supervisors of San Bernardino nty refuse to bear their share of the expense.

Patterson, | The Pentathlon contest to be held Satur- day will be one of the athletic events of the season, as prominent athletes from all parts of the State will participate. This contest, the name of which is derived from the Greek, signifying a five-pointed contest, is peculiarly characteristic of the physical department of the Young Men’s Christian Association, and is held every year where the State convention takes place. The events will be 100-yard dash, throw- ing twelve-pound hammer, ranning high jump, pole-vaulting and the mile run. There will be also a two-mile bicyele race. In. the Pentathlon contest eight men from each association in the State will |enter. The one securing the highest number of points will win for himself a medal, and he, together with the two who | have secured the highest number of voints in the preceding two years, will compete for the association trophy, which consists of a silk banner. Three chosen men from each association in the State will enter the picycle race, the winner securing a medal for himseif and a silver cup for the assotiation which he represents. Like almost every other institution in Los Angeles, the Young Men’s Christian | Association here has shown a remarkable | growth, and is in a flourishing condition. It was established in 1882, but made but little headway until William H. Mead of New York City became its general secre- tary, and took charge of its business man- agement. At a meeting just after the | adjournment of the annual State conven- tion, heid here during that year, more than $8000 was pledged toward the pur- chase of a lot on which to erect a suitable building, and a committes on subscrip- tious to a new building was appointed. The site selected is on the west side of Broadway, near Second street, having a frontage of 70 and a depth of 110 feet. The front portion of the lower floor isdivided off into stores and the main entrance to the building. The rear partof this story is taken up by a portion of the gymnasiam. The second floor is reached by a stairway eight feet wide, at the top of which is the vestibule leading to the auditorium. To the left is an arcade of three semi- circular arches, filled in with bronze scroll- work, supported by graceful columns, Beyond the arcade is the reception-hall, 22x23 feet, and arranged around it, the members’ parlor, 18x36 feet, readingeroom, 22x30, and library, 18x30 feet. The audi- torium, 64x49 feet, occupies the rear of the building, is directly over the gymnasium, and like the latter is two stories in height. Its seating capacity is 525 persons on .the lower floor and 250 in the gallery. The third floor is taken up with the recreation-room, 34x28, boys’ room, 16x30, and a classroom, 18x32 feet, which, by means of folding-doors, may be made to form one large room. The fourtn floor is divided up into ten rooms, 12x14 feet, which are rented for lodgings to members. The basement and first floor under the aunditorium furnishes space fora splendid gymnasium, in which can be found all the apoliances necessary for physical training, besides a swimming tank 14x44 feet, two bowling alleys 70 feet long, sponge baths, tub baths, showers, and lockers. The eornerstone of the building was laid on December 6, 1886, but on account of the slowness with which subscriptions came in but little progress was made until 1888, when it was left in an uncompleted con- aition for the same reason, and not until 1892 was the building completed and fully furnished. The cost of the lot was $42,000 ana of the building $74,000. The advance in property since that time makes the present value of both about $140,000. The association has now a mem- bership of about 800, and is efficiently con- ducted by the following officers: President, E. A. Forrester; vice-president, G. W. Parsons; secretary, F. M. Porter; treas- urer, A. H. Voigt; directors, E. A. For- rester, Robert Hale, J, Ross Clark, G. W. Parsons, O. T. Johnson; honorary direc- tors, H. W. Mills, A. E. Pomeroy, Lyman Stewart, E. 8. Field. M. H. Merriman; general secretary, Willard ‘D. Ball; assist- ant secretary, Wickham Quinan; physical director, Th. Bessing. JAILED BY A PORTLAND JUDGE. How a Woman Was Made to Testify Against Her Brutal Husband. PORTLAND, Or., Oct. 9.—When Mrs. Caroline Kaine appeared in Justice Gies- ler’s court to-day to prosecute her husband for nearly beating her to death and then drawing a revolver to kill her, she defiantly told the court she would not testify against her husband. It was a peculiarly aggra- vated case, and the woman presented a pitiful appearance when she had sworn out the complaint. Justice Giesler sized up the prisoner arraigned for trial and then lost his temper. “I'm sorry I can’t enact a law providing a whipping-post for these habitual wife- beaters of Portland,” the Justice said. ;‘W7h'a! did you swear to this complaint or ?” “Because I was afraid of my life. But I won'’t testify against my husband.” *“Then you'll go to jail,” announced the Justice, who was trying .a new precedent. “I’m tired of this sort of thing.” Mrs. Kaine relented and changed her mind while she was being taken to jail, and then agreed to tell the circumstances. She said her husband was insanely and unjustly jealous of her, and had beaten her till she was uncenscious Monday night. He then drew a revolver and was going to kill her, but she i’umped out of ?ed and ran. Kaine was held to the Grand ury. SHOOTING ATSACRAMENTD Jack Harris, Son of the De- tective, Shot Through the Body. Len Cullendine, Who DId the Deed, Surrendered, but Refused to Talk. SACRAMENTO, CarL., Oct. 9.—Jack’ Harris, who was such a'prominent factor in the late railroad strike disturbance in this city, son of the prominent railroad de- tective, Len Harris, was shot through the body by Len Cullendine this evening, and lays at the point of death at Ridge Home Hospital. As nesr as can be ascertained, Harris and Cullendine have been friends for years, having worked side by side in the repair department of the Southern Pacific Railroad shop, and as Cullendine boarded with Harri$ and his wife, they always ac companied each other to and from work. Cullendine was of an acquiring disposi- tion and frequently advanced money on the time of their comrades in the shops who were pressed for money, and Harris being noted for his scrapping abilities was always ready to collect any amount for his friend from any would-be absconding debtor by personal prowess. Of late it is claimed a coolness has arisen between the two friends, and Harris be- came jealous of the attention shown by Cullendine toward Mrs. Harris. This evening Cullendine and Mrs. Harris were out walking together when they encoun- tered Harris. 1t is claimed that on seeing her husband Mrs. Harris exclaimed, “My God, there’s Jack, he'll kill me.” As nearas can be ascertained Harris then drew his pistol and began shooting at bis wife, and Cullen- dine, to protect the lady he accompanied drew his weapon, and, placing it against the bodv of Harris, pulled the trigger. The bullet entered the groin, and ranged upward toward the liver. Harris fell to the sidewalk and Cullen- dine went to the police station and surren- dered himself to the police, but absolutely refused to make any statement as to the occurrence. As Harris fell, R. C. Irwin of the Bureau of Highways, who had been attracted by the shooting, hurried vo the spot and as- sisted Harris to his feet. The wounded man exclaimed: “My God! I’m done for.” But he retained strength enough to walk over a block to the residence of a doctor, who, however, could render him no as- sistance, being without the proper appli- ances to treat gunshot wounds at his resi- dence. Harris was then placed in a hack and conveyed to the Ridge Home Hospital. A notary public has been sent for to take his ante-mortem statement. There is but little hof{e of his recovery. Jack Harris, in his ante-mortem state- ment, says that his wife’s mother called at their residence this evening and requested his wife to accompany her to the house of a friend. Shortly after their departure he left the house, and in passing through the alley in the rear of the house he came upon Cullendine, who was in company with Mrs. Harris. Cullendine had his arm around Mrs. Harris’ waist, and when the pair saw him they turned -and started on a run down the alley. He called to his wife to stop and Cullendine immediately drew his re- volver and sgnng behind a telegraph pole and opened fire on him. Harris says he then drew his own re- volver and returned the fire untilall his cartridges were exhausted. Mrs. Harris has been placed under ar- rest, but the police refuse to state on what charge. 5 el Ao TELEPHONES FOR EEDWOOD. Application Made to the Board of Super- visors for Franchise. REDWOOD CITY, CaL., October 9.—At yesterday’s session of the Board of Super- visors W. F. Shelley applied for a fran- chise to operate a system of telephone lines throughout San Mateo County. The appli- cation will lie over for one month under the rules. It is believed that the franchise will then be granted. . Mr. Shelley’s idea is to establish a local telephone exchange at Redwood City and then connect all the towns on both the bay and coast side of the county as speed- ily uaposlaib}]a. H"v-li‘l“ nLrea&y Tbeen ranted telephone privileges by the Town &ruatees of Redwoocf City. [ Under the new plan proposed the sub- scriber will buy his telephone outa!fiht for $10 and $125 per month for the full local service, and can use the telephone as often as desired. ) The local telephone service is badly needed. This is especially true as regards its use by the county officials, the town fire department and other interests. A e, Buggy Robe Thief Sentenced. SANTA CRUZ, CaL., Oct. 9.—John H. ‘Wright, who has served two sentences in the County Jail in this county for stealing buggy robes, was up before the Superior Court this morning for the same offense. He desired no attorney, waived time to plead, pleaded not guilty and ‘admitted charge of prior conyiction. He was then given two years in San Quentin, CHARGED INSOLVENCY. Governor Budd Talked of the Merced Bank Failure. STANDS BY DEPOSITORS. The Executive Issued a Cita- tion to the Board of Commissioners. FITZGERALD NOT NOTIFIED. The Grand Jury at Merced Reld a Lesson to the Officers of the Institution. STOCKTON, Car., Oct. 9.—Governor Budd was seen this morning with refer- ence to the arrest at Merced of Bank Com- missioners Kilburn, Fuller and McGee at the instigation of the attorneys for the depositors of the Merced Bank. He said: “On Saturday last I issned a citation to the Bank Commissioners on a chrage made by the creditors of the Merced Bank. A complaint was laid before me that the Bank Commissioners knew during last year that the bank was insolvent. That complaint requested me to take action under the Bank Commissioners act of 1887. “I immediately wrote a communication to the Commissioners, notifying them of the charge of the creditors to the effect that they had known of the fact that the bank was insolvent and had kept this knowledge from the Attorney-General. This communication I sent by registered letter, and sent a copy to Mr. McCabe, my private secretary, telling him to deliver it in person to the Bank Commissioners. They stated to him that they would fur- nish him with all the letters and data in their possession touching the condition of the bank just assoon as they returned to Ban Francisco. I shall, of course, look into the matter thoroughly and see what there is in the charge that has been made to me against the Commissioners. “They are supposed to represent the de- positors, and for this reason bave the right to visit and inspect banks and their accounts to determine their financial con- dition. If a bank is not solvent they are supposed to at once report this fact to the Attorney-General, in order that steps may be taken without delayto save the de- positors. It often happens that even where there is a run on a bank, or where it has to close its doors, the institution is perfectly solvent; but where it is not the Commissioners are supposed to place the facts in their possession before the Attor- ney-General at the earliest pessible time, in order that the depositors may not suf- fer.” Andrew J. Clunie of San Francisco was here last Saturday in the interests of the creditors of the Merced Bank. but Governor Budd did not deem it proper to let the fact become public until after the citation had been served. The Governor had then no advices other than the press reports, and could not speak further on the sub- ject. MERCED, CAL., Oct. 9.—The Grand Jury to-day paid its respects to the Bank Com- missioners for a dereliction of duty in the Merced Bank affair. They also severely condemned the directorsand officers of the defunct bank for- gross mismanagement of the funds intrusted to their care by inno- cent depositors. DEATH OF D. McGILVRAYX.
