HALL DEDICATION POTTER'S DEATH STILL A MYSTERY, Nothing Known of His Movements After Last Friday Night. DETECTIVES AT WORK. They Are Baffled in Their First Day’s Investigation of the Case. WAS LAST SEEN AT THE CLIFF, Captain Lees Believes He Fell Asleep on the Beach and Was Caught by the Tide. Mystery still surrounds the manner in which H. Cranston Potter, the Tacoma millionaire, whose body was found on the ocean beach on Sunday, came to hisdeath, Allidea of suicide, however, has been dissipated, and the question now remain- ing to be solved is whether death was due The stronger leaning is toward the accident theory, based on the facts as published in TrE CALL yesterday. An investigation of the matter is being made by two independentagencies. D.G. McNaughton, a private detective who formerly resided in Tacoma, and who knew the deceased well, is following up the case as a friend of the family, and he 1s some- what imbued with the theory of murder. On the other hand, the local detective force connected with the Police Depart- ment took hold of the matter yesterday on the request of Thomas Watson, the San LAST NIGHT. typical gatherings of California’s sons ever held in this City, and the array of ladies and gentlemen was of such a character that any State could well afford to be proud of them. The magnificent dance hall, which is one of the largest and best appointed in San Francisco, was decorated from pillar to post with orange, green and pink festoons of bunting, while the stage set off the hall with well-arranged exotic plants scattered in profusion from the footlights to the base of the painting by Thaddeus Walsh of the City of San Francisco, looking from Goat Island. The whole effect was charming, and the scene on the bay gave depth and color to | the distance and freshened up the whole picture. Theglistening maple floor wasim- maculate with its smooth surface and was in prime condition to receive the dancers, who filed in from the main hallway at 9:30 | with President James D. Phelan and Henry Lunstedt leading the grand march. These gentlemen are too well known to toe native born to need introduction. Im- mediately following came the rest of the manly young fellows who have had the good fortune to see the light here, and on each good right arm rested a native daugh- ter resplendent with beauty and Californma vigor. Every native mother’s son of them danced as though the West was the only place irom which to come, and in a very short time the merriment was at its height. The remarkable ventilation of the hall made it exceedingly comfortable for those who participated inthe pleasure, and after the first number general congratulationa were indulged in and the officers came in for a goodly share of compliments. Grand President Dunne and President Phelan, together with the directors, were com- pelied to acknowledge that their hopes were realized, and that the work of erect- ing a grand testimonial to the order was happily concluded. ¢ No more congenial people exist on earth than our Native Sons and Native Daugn- ters, and when they assemble as they did last night, the god of mirth and content- ment holds supreme sway. There were a great many costly and magniticent dresses to. be seen and the boys in their evening dress made an ex- cellent accompaniment to the wealth of color worn by the ladies. 7 The programmes were unique samples of the printers’ art, consisting of a folder in the form of the new building, front view, which when opened, contained a list of the officers and vhe various committees, together with the dances, nineteen in all. The little bear so well known to Califor- nians illustrated the various stages of the terpsichorean amusement, and a great many were taken away as souvenirs of the occasion. Among the guests of the evening were Doticed : James . Phelan, president; Lewis F. Bying- ton, vice-president; Adolph Eberhart, secre- Mr. and Mrs. John H. Grady, Henry 4, J. Bassillio, J. B.

Bodwell, chief of staff of Grand Marshal Dalton of Oakland, stating that egrand headway was being made toward | the celebration there and that they would probably be an acquisition of one thou- | sand members, accompanied by two or | three bands and several pretty floats.

The Globe Review Incorporated and Given a New Home. The continued and increased prosperity of the San Francisco Globe Review is proof that the people of California know a good thing when they see it. From all parts of the State enthusiastic support has been accorded this up-to-date magazine. The editor remarks that the object of the Globe Review since its inception has been to promote the interests of American labor by a tariff on imports which shall ade- quately secure American 1ndustrial roducts against the competition of foreign Fabor. This standard has been maintained throughout, and as a consequence the magazine has outgrown its former quar- ters, and after being incorporated has ob- tained a new home at 49 First street. The Globe Review Publishing Company, of which James Kip is president and business manager, canuot be too highly commended for the efforts put forth to give. the City and State a magazine of such sterling ex- cellence. ————— Blaze in a Lodging-House. An alarm was turned in through box 294 at 6:30 o'clock last evening fora fire in a three- story frame house at1714 Clay street. The building is occupied by Mrs. Cobleich asa lodg- ing-house. The fire was caused by an over- 'h;saed range. The loss will amount to about Francisco correspondent of the Tacoma | grain firm with which young Potter was connected. There were a few new developments yes- terday, but these rather tended to obscure than maxe clear the situation. Dr. J. 8. Barrett made an autopsy on the remains at the undertaking parlors ot H. C. Porter & Co., and came to the con- clusion that death was due to drowning. The fact that the lungs were found full of water was considered absolute proof that Potter was alive when he fell, was washed | or was thrown into the water. 8. Christensen, the barkeeper at the Cliff House, is the man who last saw Pot- ter alive, so far as is known. He stated that Potter, accompanied by a young man, arrived at the beach between 3 and 4 o'clock Friday afternoon. They took din- ner together and about 9:45 p. M. appeared fora final drink at the public bar. They remained about the bar till after 10 o’clock, when Potter asked at what time he coula catch a car for the City. He was told that the Sutro car left at 10:30, and he and his companion left to catch that car. Shortly afterward they returned and said they had missed the car. They did not remain long, but after taking another drink started down the road leading to the beach south of the Cliff House. Itisfrom this time that all definite trace of the deceased is lost. The next seen of him was about 11 4. ». Sun- day, when a gentleman named Williams reparted to Captain Morton of the Life-sav- ing Station, situated about halfa mile south of the Cliff House, that a body was being tossed about in the surf. Tt was prompti; recovered and the Coroner notified, but it was not removed to the Morgue until about 5. M. From the description published in the papers Detective D. J. McNaughton was induced to visit the Morgue, and was the man who identified the remains as those of the Tacoma capitalist. . Since that time McNaughton has been investigating the matter, and inclines strongly to the opinion that Potter met with foul play. This s based largely on the condition of the body when recovered from the water. It showed few bruises or abrasions and on? such as would be made by its being rolled back and forth by the surf, with the exception of a cuton the head just back of and to the right of the center of the skull, Tkis McNaughton says was a fracture of the skuil about one and a half inches long and about one-eighth of an inch wide at the most open portion of the wound. He argues from this that Potter was struck with some heavy instrument, such as a club or cane, and knocked or_thrown into the water from the beach. He says that there is no place in the vicinity from which Pottet could have fallen into the water without receiving more cuts than this one. Another suspicious circumstance in McNaughton’s mind is the failure of the man who was with Potter at the Cliff House to make himself known to the au- thorities or the friends of the deceased. As soon as the attention of Captain Lees was called to the matter by Thomas Wat- son, he detailed Detectives Edward Gibson and Edward Wren on the case. The result of the joint investigation of the two offi- cers appears in the following report made last night to Captain Lees: 8AN FrANCISCO, Feb. 11, 1896. Captain I.-W. Lees—DEARSIR: Acti upon your iustruction Officer Ed Wren Ar:ltfmysell went to the Cliff House this aftecnoon with Thomas Watson and saw 8. Christensen, a bar- keeper, and he -uy\l ‘that Mr, Potter and Dr. Hicks came out to the Cliff House one day last week, and had adrink and then left. ée saw Mr. Potter again on last Friday after- noon, as he came into the barroom with a stranger. They had a drink and then went into the dining-room and had supper, and after supper they drank a quart bottle of cham- pagne. After supper they came into- the bar- room again and took another drink, and Pot- ter put down a dollar and the barkeeper placed a 50-cent piece in change on the counter. The stranger picked up the change and said to Mr, Potter, ‘Here is your change.” They seemed to be very friendly, as though they had known each other for a long time. The waiter who served them said that Potter kicked over the table aiter he got through drinking his wine and acted anything but a gentleman. Mr. Pearson, one of the proprie- tors, said he noticed Potter and the stranger at the bar, and that Potter was drunk, but he could walk all right. Every cent that the two men spent was spent by Poiter, the other man paying tor nothing. When the barkeeper of the Cliff House said to Mr, Potter, “Here is your change,” Potter took it, walked 1o the door and then came back and said to him, “That fellow is no good: don’t you trust him.” Potter asked what time he could get & car to town,and I told him 10:30. When he came to the CIiff first it was between 3 and 4 o'clock, and _he ieft about 10:30 . y. While he was at the bar the first time he asked meif I wouid lend him $5,and I said, “Yes, if you want it,” but he did not ask for it. While Potter and the stranger were at the b they acted as{riends. Potter took the strang waich once and put it on the bar and seid: this good for & drink?” and then gave it back to his friend. The following is & description of the man with Potter: About 5 feet8or 9; age about 333 slender build, light complexion, light hair and small mustache; black suit, with nice-fittin; cutaway coat, clean white shirt, collar an cuffs, gold link cuff-buttons, dark red tie witn gold pin, black derby hat. He carried a pair of Bew fan gloves and acted and looked like & gentleman. 8 After leaving the Cliff House we went to the other road house, but could find no one who had seen any one answering their description, either on Friday or on Saturday. Respectiully, EDWARD GIBSON, M. WEEN. Detective Officers. They will continue the investigation to- day. In a conversation with Detective Gibson he said they were unable to get any trace whatever of either Potter or his CIiff House companion after they left that hostelry. He had heard that a Mr. Hood had seen Potter talking to some one on Market street at about noon on Saturday, but it had been impossible to find Hood. It is the belief of Detective Gibson that Potter never returned to town after he left the Cliff House. ! “Potter,” he said, “evidently started to catch the steam car which leaves the beach south of the Cliff House after he had missed the Sutro car. He was not too drunk to walk, but was getting sufficiently muddled to have missed his way and in some way to have fallen into the water.” ‘While Gibson is strongly of the opinion that Potter came to his death accidentally he concedes there is a probability of foul play having taken place. Captain Lees is more outspoken. He says he believes that Potter was so stupid from drink that he lay down on the beach near the water and went to sleep; that the 1ncoming tide caught him and that before he couid extricate himseif in his drunken condition he was drowned. According to the statements made at the undertakers and at the Coroner's office Detective McNaughton is mistaken as to the character of the wound on the head of the deceased. At both places the wound is described as being merely one of the scalp and which left the skull absolutely intact. The remains were shipped to Tacoma last night by express and without being accompanied by any one. Relatives witl take charge of themat Portland, however. At least 100 people viewed them at the un- dertaker’s, mostly friends. The inquest will take place to-morrow morniag at 10 o’clock. A strong circumstance tending to prove the theory of accidental drowning is that there had been no attempt to despoil the unfortunate man, as his watch and chain and other valuable jewelry and trinkets were found upon bim by the Coroner. It was stated on Monday by the cham- bermaid of the Occidental Hotel that Pot- ter had slept in his room at the hotel Fri- day night. She modified this statement yesterday by saying that the bed had the appearance Saturday morning of having been lain upon, probably some time dur- ing Friday, but evidently no one had slept in 1t, as the blankets were not turned back. It was learned yesterday that Potter car- ried a $5000 accident policy, and that the local agent of the company in which he is insured made an inspection of the remains yesterday and left satisfied that death had resulted from an accidental cause, viz.: fropn drowning, and he will so report to his company. e FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED..

The menu was excellent and the wines merited special praise from his Royal Highness, who remarked that he noticed in them s body and bouquet which re- minded him forcibly of the famous vin- tages of his native land. At intervals | during the meal choice selections by clas- sical composers were rendered by the Palace Hotel orchestra, under the able and exper- ienced direction of Harry T. Hock. The | rendering of Czibulka’s gavotte “‘La Prin- cesse’’ was encored, as was also Lysberg's exquiaite fantasia, ‘‘The Luteplayer.” The musicians, however, made one faux as. In one of the portfolios a copy of aribaldi’s battle hymn was found. To Harry’s mind it seemed singularly appro- priate to the occasion and the orchestra forthwith proceeded to render it with all the spirit and fire which the martial air requires in order to sound as it should. On hearing tne familiar strain a half-amused, half-horrified glance passed round the board, and one of the guests, speeding toward the bower where the musicians were placed, caused them to desist. After dessert Mr. Calegaris, who acted as toastmaster, made a brief address of wel- come to the royal guest of the evening, to the Governor and toall present. He dwelt at some length upon the peace and pros- fer'ty which have aitended the fortune of taly’s sons in the United States, and par- ticularly in California, and expressed a hope that his countrymen aand the Ameri- can people might live as brothers, bound together by ties of mutual interest and re- gard. He'also referred to the duties in- cumbent upon all who reside on American soil, and ended by raising his glass to the health of the President of the United States. The toast was honored amid much applause. The Italian Consul, Chevalier Bruno Grimaldi, then proposed the health of the Italian royal family. The Prince re- sponded to the toa As he rose he seemed almost like a boy, but when he spoke it was evident that beneath a youth- ful exterior he keeps stowed away a fund of graceful and persuasive eloquence. It gave him pleasure, he said, to accept the hospitality of his countrymen at so great a distance from their native land, and he could not resist a certain feeling of pride as he observed the standing of his com- patriots in the Golden State. He proposed a toast to the State of California and its chief execntive officer. Governor Budd, who before the dinner had vowed he wouldn’t say a word, find- ing himself thus called upon, responded in a singularly graceful speech, which smacked just a little of preparation. He assured the Prince that the welcome which California had extended him was warm and real. America, he said, owed much to Italy. In a certain sense she owed her very existence as a civilized quarter of the globe to Italy, since an Italian was the first to open her portals to the ingress of civilization, Captain Bertotini responded to the toast, “The Italian Colony,” in a brief but elo- quent expression of the appreciation with which he and his colleagues would ever hold in grateful remembrance the cordial hospitality which they had experienced at the hands of their compatriots in San Francisco. General Forsyth rose to the toast, “The American Army.” ‘The white-haired vet- eran showed himself as much at home amid after-dinner joys as on the battle- | field, and his eloquent and patriotic reply | was frequently interrupted by bursts of cheering. The last toast of the evening was | *The Friendship between the United States and Italy.”” A. Sbarboro responded ia an address so replete with patriotic eio- quence as to call forth many expressions of approval. He said the Italian citizen loved Italy as his mother, while cherish- ing his new country as the wife of his bosom. He hoped the time might never come when the United States would have to go to war with any other nation; but should that daread event come to pass Ttalian blood would be poured forth gen- erously in defense of the land which had been discovered by an Italian and in which an Italian was free fo enjoy all the rigats and privileges of American citizenship. He hoped peace and friendship might never cease to bind the two great nations to each other for all time. After a half-hour of informal conversa- tion, the Prince arose and thanking his hosts for their genial hospitality left the dining hall amid a volley of cheers. valli, edi T'Italis Gatherers of tea leaves in China receive 3 pence per day. is placed here in the report that Potter committed suicide. He had no worry, was of a jovial disposition, had no large debts, and at the time: he left here he had in the neighborhood of $200 on him. He was no more unfortunate in his busi- ness ventures than others with the same amount of money, and the report that he has squandered a fortune is unfounded. He was an expert swimmer and thor- oughly at home in the water. He was very punctual in making returns of investments to his father and was only allowed the profits. 2 His life with his famiiy has been a most happy one, and he had no business difficul- ties or worry that would give him any pre- text at all for committing sunicide. His wife is in a very dangerous condi- tion. His father-in:law, C. J. Kershaw, is one of the most respected and widely known wheat men on the coast. He is firmly of the belief that his son-in-law has been foully dealt with. PRINCE LOUIS AT TABLE His Royal Highness Dined by the Italian Chamber of Com- merce. The Distinguished Guest Sounds the Praises of California’s Wine and Welcome. In deepdraughts of California’s finest vintages, pressed out by the hands of fair Italy’s sons, the Italian Chamber of Com- merce toasted Prince Louis of Savoy.at the dinner given in his honor last night at the Palace Hotel. The affair was a brilliant success, so- cially, esthetically, and beyond a doubt gastronomically. The table was arranged in the form of a hollow square, and fairly dazzled the eye with the splendor of its adornments. Candelabra of crystal and silver held aloft hundreds of twinkling wax lights, which cast a fairy glow over the towering epergnes and rare floral - pieces which graced the board where royalty did_eat. Among the set pieces a candy model of the Cristoforo Colombo was con- spicuous for its faithful delineation of the original, while in another space stood a luvelg miniature reproduction of the lighthouse at Naples, composed entirely of sugar. i His Royal Highness was attended by the Chevalier G. Calegaris, president of the Italian Chamber of Commerce, and by Captains A. Bertolini and E. Presbitero, Lieutenants U. Caeni, E. Frigerio, L. de Filippi,F. Aymeric,E. Winspeare and L. H. ShYtenk.Chief Engineer G. B. Ricei, Dr. M. Belli, surgeon of the vessel, and Paymaster G. Politti.
