Lieutenant White's Charges Against the Commander Said to Have Become Public Gossip. PORT TOWNSEND, Wasm., Nov. 24— From officers cognizant of the difficulty existing between Captain Healy and Lieu- tenant White of the revenue cutter Bear the nature of the charges prepared by White against his commander has be- come public gossip among revenue officers. For many years the two officers were the best of friends, and White was made navi- gating officer. In performing his duties Healy had occasion to reprimand the lieu- tenant severely. White claims in_his charges that the commander acted as if he were inebriated, and upon that representa- tion induced a number of officers to sign the statement preferring charges against Captain Healy, his commanding officer. Several wardroom officers who have sailed under Healy say that he is a gruff, whole-souled disciplinarian, and his con- ed to that quarter. | stant object has bu?n to enhance the capa bilities of his subordinates. is is his sixteenth consecutive voyage to the Arctic. 9 —_———— DEPARTMENT.

SAYRES MURDER STORY. The Name of W, 0. Allen Asso- ciated With That Most Hor- rible Tragedy. WAS HOUNDED TO HIS DEATH. His Knowledge of That Crime Thought to Have Caused His Own Taking Off. PORTLAND, Or., Nov. 24—W. 0. Al- len, a wealthy contractor, died in this city last Monday night, under peenliar circum- stances that induced an investigation by the Coroner. An adjourned inquest was held late last night, the jury returning the following verdict: ‘“Died from the effects of an overdose of laudanum, administered by his own hand.” For several years Allen had been liti- gating with George W. Sayres, formerly a well-known saloon man here, for a large sum of money. On September 26, 1894, when the beaten and bruised body of George W. Sayres was washed out of the river, the name of W. O. Allen became as- sociated with the death of Sayres. Vague and uncertain stories were whis- pered concerning Allen’s possible con- nection with the deed that sent Sayres to his death, but no one was to be found who sought to connect him directly with the crime. ‘“‘Bunco” Kelly and X. N. Steeves, Allen’s lawyer, were by a jury found guilty of the murder. The former is pass- ing his hours away in a life sentence in the venitentiary. The latter is appealing to the Supreme Court for a reversal of judg- ment. It is claimed by those wno have made a study of the Sayres murder that W. 0. Al- len was hounded to his death. Whatever knowledge he possessed of the crime, it is claimed, was taken advantage of by those who sought to profit by circumstances | which fate threw in their way, until at las t, driven to desperation, he ended his | life rather than to further submit to de- | mands made upon him. This is only conjecture, but why W.O. Allen took that fatal dose of laudanum is a question that may never be answered. It is believed, however, that “Bunco” Kelly and Mrs. Elizabeth Hickey, an intimate friend of Allen’s, might throw light on the question. e RAILWAY EATE WAR. McNeill of the Oregon Railway and Navi- gation Company Still in It. PORTLAND, Or., Nov. 24, —Receiver MeNeill of the Oregon Railway and Navi- gation Company, who is also general man- ager of the company, was interrogated vesterday in regard to the probable dura- tion of the war for San Francisco-Portland passenger business, now being waged with fierceness between his steamers and the Southern Pacific Company’s special five- days train. Although Mr. McNeill had been extremely reticent concerning this subject since his return on last Monday from the conference with the Southern Pacific people at San Francisco, and had persistently declined to discuss the situa- tion, he said: “I do not know how long the rate war will continue. It will, however, continue as_long as necessary. Iam very well sat- isfied with the situation.” This evidently means that he has no in- tention of receding from his present posi- tion, and that the Sonthern Pacific hasa fight to a 1inish on hand. There appears to be no probability whatever of a com- promise between the two companies in the near future, and the present low rates be- tween Portland and San Francisco prom- ise to continue for some time to come, per- havs several months. In fact, the end seems farther off thanat the beginning of the war, and a still lower reduction is now more probable than any other change. Mr. Huntington, it is pre- sumed here, did not go into the fight against the Oregon Railway and Na tion Company without a careful estima- tion of its strength. On the other hand, Mr. McNeill is somewhat stubborn him- self, and bears the reputation of possess- ing about as much astuteness as does the great head of the Southern Pacific, I SN DIEGDS MORGLE Victim of an Assassin’s Sandbag Found on the Shore of the Bay. Supposed to Be a Man of Means Named Richardson Hailing From Seattle. SAN DIEGO, CaL., Nov. 24.—From all that can be learned to-night a stranger named Richardson, hailing from Seattle, lies dead in the morgue here, a victim of an assassin’s sandbag. On Friday night a coat, vest and other articles were found on the Twenty-eighth street wharf, and the police notified. Yesterday the body of a middle-aged man was found on, the bay shore near the wharf. His forehead was badly discolored. His pockets were empty. Since then attempts have been made to identify the body, and though many theories have been advanced the dead man’s identity is not positively known. From all appearances, however, he is | Richardson, who came from Seattle some days ago and listed property in that city for exchange for San Diego realty. The only facts known concerning him are that he appeared at a real estate office not far from the wharf on Friday after- noon and listed his property. After talk- ing a while with the agents in the office he went away and has not been seen since, nor has he appeared at his lodgings. His clothing and personal appearance tallied exactly with those of the dead man. An autopsy s held on the dead man, and the physician declared that severe wounds were found on the forehead and breast, and that he was positive the man was dead before he struck the water. The lungs had no water in them, as would be the case if drowning had occurred, and hands and eyes were open. The wound on the head was evidently made witly\lsn in- strument similar to a sandpag, as no\abra- sion of the skin was found, and the skull was not cracked. But the tremendous force of the blow was discernible upon postmortem examination. The quality of clothing found on the wharf and on the body indicated that the man possessed means, and as nothing whatever was found in the pockets it is believed robbery was the motive for mur- J\here t0-mOrrow. S der, and that the act was done in cold blood. Several circumstances prove that the man could not bave committed sui- cide. In the first place the wounds could not have been seli-inflicted, and were not of a character to be made by accident in jumping off the wharf. The body was found below the wharf about 600 feet, in an opposite direction to the flow of the tide. It is probable that it was placed there with the expectation that the tide would carry it away, and that the clothing on the wharf would lead to the theory of suicide. —_— SUICIDE AT VENTURA. Elmer Kelsey Found Dead From a Gun- shot Wond. VENTURA, CAL.. Nov. 24.—Elmer Kel- sey, aged 17 years, was found dead in the hilis about eight miles east of here, near Saticoy, this morning with a bullet hole through his temple.

Berryhill, porter in the Palace Hotel, attempted to kill W. H. Lyons, a prominent contractor of this place, last night. Berryhill, who was intoxicated, applied an epithet to Lyons, when the latter struck him on the cheek with his hand. Berryhill drew his gun and fired, the bullet passing not more than an inch over Lyons’ head. Consid- erable excitement prevailed, owing to the fact that Lyons is very popular and highly respected. Berryhill has been released on $1000 bonds to appear for preliminary examina- tion. His father isa wealthy rancher here. FIGHTING AN OCEAN FIRE, Thrilling Experience of Captain Jepson With a Cargo of Burning Coal. Rescue of the Europa by Captain Evans and Crew of the Forfarshire. SANTA MONICA, Car., Nov. 24—Cap- tain Jepson of the late Europa, the vessel destroyed at sea on September 7, is proba- bly the only captain in the world who has had the experience of handling in mid- ocean a vessel laden with a cargo of burn- ing coal. . The rescue of Captain Jepson from his burning ship by Captain Evans and the crew of the Forfarshire was told to a CaLL reporter by one of the crew as follow: On a bright June morning the British bark Forfarshire left Antwerp for Port Los Angeles, Cal., ana Astoria, Or., with a miscellaneous cargo consigned to W. R. Grace & Co.and with a crew of twenty- five men. We had a safe, uneventful voy- age—although the weather was upusually cold, and the sea rough—until September 7, when a bark was discovered flying the signal of distress. Captain Evans ordered the Forfarshire to go to the vessel’s assist- ance. When we neared the vessel it gro\'ed to be the Europa, from Keith, Scotland, with a cargo of coal for San Francisco, with Captain Jepson and a crew of twenty-five men valiantly trying to subdue a fire in the hold. The first knowledge Captain Jepson had of the fire, which Legan on the previous evening and was caused by spontaneous combustion, was from seeing smoke arise from the hold. It was a gloomy prospect for captain and crew, with a cargo of coal on fire and an angry sea without, and when the Forfarshire hove to the captain and his crew said she looked like an angel of mercy. The crew was taken on board and the vessel abandoned. On October { the Forfarshire was com- pelled to put into Concepcion, Chile, for water, the large addition tp the passengers drinking dry the suppiy. A this point Captain Jepson and his men were disem- barked and the Forfarshire proceeded on her journey, arriving here after being out 167 days with cargo all right and crew contented and well. Captain Evans has the happy consciousness of having ren- dered timely aid. The stevedores are making a record at unloading the Forfarshire of her cargo, Port Los Angeles claiming the champion- ship for speedy delivery of vessels of this coast. The Forfarshire will proceed from here to Astoria, Or., with a part of her cargo and then to Tacoma, from which port she will a cargo of flour to Europe. . KNOCKED OUT IN ARIZONA. Sailor Jerry Meets Defeat at the Hands of a Native in a Battle Fought at Phenix. PH(ENIX, Ariz., Nov.24.—J. T. Hag- erty, otherwise known as “Sailor Jerry,” a California middle-weight, was knocked out here to-night by a negro known as “Swifty,” a native Arizona fighter, who, however, has a slight reputation in South- ern Colorado and New Mexice. 1t was advertised as a fight for points, but was for blood, lasting but two and a half minutes, during which time ten kn ockdowns and first blood were recorded. Dr. Kirkwood, a physician here, was chosen referee. Gus Hirschfeld, a local sport; G. P. Bullard, an attorney, and Barney Hall, were chosen timekeepers. It was evident that something was wrong with the white man as soon as they en- tered the ring. At flrst it was thought the sailor boy was drunk, but it was deter- mined after the fight that he had nothin, to drink for two weeks. He flppeueg groggy, weak in the knees and afraid of his “black opponent. Swifty, however, secemed confident, and lost no time spar- ing for an opening, but hit straight from the shoulder. Sailor Jerry, being rattled and thoroughly scared, left himself un- uarded and was knocked down seven times fore he reached Swifty. Then he dealt him a stinging blow in the face, drawing blood, first blooa. This seemed to anger the African, who, using the right-hand swing with_terrible force, knocked the small but plucky white boy down again.. As Jerry regained his feet he caught Swifty unguarded and struck out with an upper-cut_blow, knocking down his épponent. This thoroughly aroused the mnegro, who, charging like an infuriated bull, used the terrible right- hand swing again, knocking the white man out. Jerry remained insensible for fully an hour. In all not more than thir- teen blows were dealt. Corporal Noyes, at one time Jack Demp- sey’s trainer and sparring partner, who was present, says it was the most remark- able contest he ever saw. Sailor Jerry weighed about 150 pounds and measured 5 feet 3 inches. Swiity weighed 168 pounds and measured 5 feet 8¢ inches. About 300 people witnessed the fight. - FOR “THE CALL” BUILDING, Thirty Tons of Travertine Shipped From Inyo Quarry.

WITNESSED BY TWO CHILDREN. Son and Daughter of the Dead Man Saw Their Father Killed. REDDING, Cax.,Nov. 24.—Tom Maupin is thé man who killed Isaac Rader at the latter’s blacksmith shop, one mile from Gas Point, west of Redding, yesterday morning. He was brought to Redding to- day at noon by Constable Jack Shelton of Igo. The accused is 55 years of age and a resident of Gas Point for many years. Sheriff Houston and Coroner Earnest returned from the scene of the killing to- day, and District Attorney Rose has col- lected a good deal of evidence against the prisoner. The brother of the deceased, who was at first suspected of the killing, wus exoner- ated, as there were eye-witnesses to the affair. Maupin and Rader, the deceased, have had considerable trouble, and have been enemies for some time, and Maupin, when under the influence of liquor, is said to have been troublesome. Yesterday morning, about 9 o’clock, Rader was attending to some chores around the blacksmith shop at his ol homestead in Crow Gulch. His 14-year-old boy and little daughter were with him, as- sisting their father in his work. About 9 o’clock Tom Maupin rode up and stopped in front_of the blacksmith shop, and en- tered into a conversation with Rader. Rader greeted Maupin with ‘Hello, Tom,” and Maupin replied with “Rader, what are you wsatering your cattle down on my land for?” Rader replied, “I've rented that land now and have a right to use it. I will take the cattle away to-mor- row, though.” Maupin sat astride his horse during the conversation. Rader then asked Maupin about some cattle and ended with saying: “Maupin, I wish you would pay me $3 you owe me for boarding your horses at Hume’s stable.” Without saying a word Maupin reached for his pistol, pulled it and turning half around on his horse, deliberately aimed and fired at Rader The bullet struck the victim in the left temple, going through his head. After shooting Rader, Maupin leveled his pistol at his victim’s son and would have shot him had the boy not run and hid. The danghter of Rader was at his side as he fell and she and her brother were the only eye-witnesses. Maupin turned his horse and went to Igo, where he surrendered himself to Con- stable Shelton. When he surrendered he said he had killed Rader in self-defense, and claimed that Rader had a large rock in his hand ready to throw at him. This is the reason he gives for taking Rader's life.

SANTA ROSA, Car., Nov.24.—To-day was memorable in the history of the Chris- tian church in this city. In the presence ora very large gathering of people of all denominations the cornerstone of the new Christian church building was laid with solemn and appropriate ceremony this afternoon.

Paulists to Give a Course of Lectures to Non-Catholics on Catholic Teaching. Rev. Father Clark preached on the “Mission of the Catholic Church in the United States” at St. Mary’s Church, Cal- ifornia street, yesteraay. “During the past nineteen centuries,” said Father Clark, “the Catholic church converted the nations of Europe. There remain many others which are not vet converted to the Christian faith. It is the purpose and intention of the church to convert all nations, and if the Catholic church in the United States is not hard at work trying to convert the people of this country to the Catholic faith it is not doing its duty. “The primary end and object of the In- stitute of St. Paul the Apostle is this very work. *In commencing this work on the Pa- cific Coast the Paulist Fathers will conduct a course of free lectures to non-Catholics on Catholic teachings and will answer all fair questions that may be placed in the question box at the door. These lectures will commence Sunday evening, Decem- ber 8, and will continue during the week. They will be entirely free and no collection will be taken up. and controversy and abuse will be avoided.” NO TURKEY FOR THE TOTS The Sheltering Arms Home Is Crippled for Want of Support, Thanksgiving May Turn Out a Black Friday for the Helpless Children. There are twenty-four heipless little tots in this big town that may feel the pangs of hunger on Thanksgiving day while more fortunate children feast in plenty. These babes are the charges of Sister Julia, at the Sheltering Arms Home, at 579 Harrison street, on Rincon Hill, over- looking the bay, with its many steamships and winged messengers of the sea. Sister Julia is an active woman. Through her own indomitable energies the home is maintained. She has been in this City for the past nine years, coming from New York State, where she had been engaged in hospital work. For five years she has maintained the Sheltering Arms. The house belongs to the estate of the late George W. Gibbs, who, up to the time of his death, rendered the institution large financial support. With his passing away the home nas lost a friend who cannot well bereplaced. Meanwhile Sister Julia is doing all in her power to make ‘‘ends meet,” as she says.

To a circular which she distributed this recommendation is attached: The work of the Sheltering Arms is of that kind that needs the especial and constant in- terest of those who see in it one of the truest works of mercy of the church, and I hope it may have the abundant vrayers and contribu- tions of our people.

No Critical Audience to See the Practice Games on the Rural Gridiron. VALUE OF PURE MOUNTAIN AIR. Strength of Limb and Courage of Heart the Result of the Trip. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL., Nov. 24.—No pleasanter retreat could have been selected by the Stanford football tear than the little mountain resort where the men are now located. They are stopping at a small hotel one mile from Woodside amd about six miles from Redwood City. The gridiron is surrounded by lofty redwoods and gigantic oak trees. The mountain air has wonderfully in- vigorated the men and they have already increased their eating capacity several fold. The only fault they find is with the grid- iron itself, which is very dusty, and makes playing decidedly uncomfortable. The only spectators atthe practice games are a few ranchmen and small boys irom neigh- boring farms, all of whom express wonder that enjoyment can be extracted from rolling about in a dusty field for hali a day at a time in a mad scramble for a leather ball. Every man went away in a roughing costume, so that very few people would recognize them back of Redwood City as the same fashionably dressed students of a few days previously at Stanford University. The men will return to college to- morrow much benefited by their outing. Saturday was spent in hard practice, both in the morning and afternoon. The play- ers showed the value of pure mountain air, and worked harder and in better form than at any previous time. They were pretty well worn out, however, when night came. Reynolds did not play, nor did Frank- enheimer, whose ankle still bothers him. Fisher and Thomas did good work as half- backs. Weldon is playing fullback, ana Cochran has gone back to tackle. Jeff, 98, is being given everv opportunity at end and has done some remarkable play- ing. Fickert and Carle are both doing first-class work as guards. On Saturday forenoon all the coaches, including Camp, left for San Francisco to see the Olympic- Reliance game. But Camp, Downing, Oliver, Walton and Mc- Millan are expected back to-day to take charge of the Stanford men. To-day the players lounged around, get- ting all the rest they could out of the twelve hours. There was no signal prac- tice nor any game. The men were pro- hibited from taking any long mountain’ climbs, so time to-day hung heavy on their hands. Neither Captain Cochran nor any of the men says much about the game with Berkeley, but they assert that Berkeley will have a job on her hands when she un- dertakes a walk-over. Father Dossola Dead. Rev. Father Joseph Dossola, S. J., died yesterday at the clergy’s residence, St. Ignatius Church.

A’solemn requiem mass for the repose of his soul will be celebrated at St. Ignatius Church this morning at 6:30 o’clock, and after the mass the remains will be borne to Santa Clara, where they will be interred be- side his fellow priests at rest.
