s THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1896. SRONNIG A BRAD'S LOOT, Squandered by a Hobo Who Lived Like an Eastern Nabob. - ABOUT 86000 RECOVERED How the ‘Money Was Found, Divided Into Parcels and Reburied, FROM LUXURY TO A PRISON. Mystery of the Great Yolo Train Robbery Solved by Destective Thacker. SACRAMENTO, Car., Feb. 12.—The mystery which has so long hung over the disappearance of $51,900, the proceeds of the great Yolo train-robbery which oc- curred on the 11th of October, 1894, has at last been solved. A man who has been living like an Eastern nabob on the -hard pelf of Wells, Fargo & Co. for the past few months occupies a cell in the County Jail, | and at least $6000 of the stolen money has been returned to the coffers of the company. For the past three yearsa member of the tramp fraternity known as Karl has re- sided in a brush camp within 100 yards of the place where Browning and Brady so hastily buried the proceeds of their suc- cessful robbery. The real name of this man is J, P. Harman. Some four days after the robbery Harman, or Karl, as he 1s better known, found the money, divided it up into separate parcels and reburied it in other spots. 3 | Some time afterward he took a portion | of the gold, as he claims, $10,000, and went to San Francisco, where he represented | that he had been left a large fortune by relatives in theold country. He engaged | apartments at 918 Folsom street, which | he furnished in the most luxurious style, | and immediately proceeded to vprocure himself an outfit of silk underwear andf‘ other clothing fit for any prince of the | blood. Harman soon demonstrated that he was | ablood of the bloods and knew how to | spend his money in wine dinners and the society of women, and hisill-gotten wealth | disappeared like the dew before the morn- | ing sun. | In the meantime Detective Thacker had obtained a clew tq the disappearance of | Karl from his chosen haunts in the brushy precincts of Yolo County and had, been | endeavoring to get trace of him. 1 Eventually he found that he had been | intimate with a man named Augustine, | who resided in Sacramento. He found the | latter, who admitted that before Kard lef: | Bacramento he had sent him, Augustine, over to his camp in the woods to geta quantity of provisions which was there. ‘When he got to the camp he found a num- ber of papersin which money had Le:n wrapped. | Last week Thacker obtained a trace of Karl in San Fraucisco, and soon afterward had him pointed out by anotuer German. Thacker accosted the man and regtiested him to accompany him to Welis-Fargo’s office. He did so, and was there aecused | of having taken the money. | Pinned down, he acknowledged that he had found the coin, but insisted that he had only taken $10,000. He gave up $2049, which was deposited in the German Bank. At Thacker’s request he jaccolapanied the latter to Sacramento and went to the place where the money had been buried. On their return Karl was arrested by Sheriff | Johnson and charged with seereting money known to have been stolen. Thacker then went to San Francisco and found that :Karl had loaned a sum of money to H. 8. Kordt, a wine merchant of Battery street. The latter stated that | Karl had requested him to take $20,000, but he had refused. He had borrowed, however, $6100, giving his note for the same. This sum was also recovered as has been a $200 diamond stud, a $175 gold watch a very large assortment of valuable clothing. Karl has loaned and spent, in all, $11,000 of the proceeds of the robbery, and it 1s believed that he knows where the balance of the stolen wealth is secreted. Several months ago Thacker found $18,000 buried near the scene of the rob- bery. Brady and Browning took about $1700, and Karl has accounted for $11,000 and probably couvld account for the rest. A DESERTER'S PERILOUS SWIM. Dragged From the Water at Port An- geles in an Exhausted Condition. . PORT ANGELES, Wasx., Feb, 12.—A de- serter from the English ship Buckingham was found at 2 o’clock this morning swim- ming out in the middle of the bay. He was ma king for shore at the time he was rescued, but was so exhausted and be- numbed with cold that he would bave per- ished within a short time. The sailor's cries for help attracted the attention of those on shore, but owing to the darkness it was a long time before his position could be located. When hauled into a boat it was found that he was clad in a heavy suit of clothes and had on three suits of under- clothing. He had cut outthe pockets of | d his coat and trousers in order that his progress through the water might not be retarded. The Buckingham was being towed out of port at’the time the sailor left her, and the only reason he gave for deserting was that he had been shipped while drunk and did not want to take a five months’ cruise. o ge e SANTA BARBARA DISAPPOINTED. 4 Southern Pacific Exeursion Which Did Not Bring Many Visitors. SANTA BARBARA, Cav., Feb. 12.—The grand excursion from the south brought up by the Southern Pacific road to-day on @ basis of greatly reduced fares, did not materialize in the expected proportions, . Only about 250 people came up on ‘the noon, train and seme fifty of. these re- turned south this afternoon after spend- ing an hour or so strolling about the place. To-morrow’s train is expected to bring up a number who stopped over in Ventura. The small number who have taken advantage of this excursion in the height of the tourist season is acconnted for by the fact that the Chinese new zz: festivities begin to-day and ‘anpla the East may have been loth to leaves large city where preparations were per-- fected for a unique spectacle of considera- ble brilliancy and note.

May Die of Fear Before the Date Set for His Execution. WARDEN AULL SPEAKS. The Brutal Murderer of the Webers Has Suffered a Thou- sand Deaths. HAUNTED BY THE DAY OF DOOM. Heedless of Surroundings His Thoughts Dwell on the Fact That He Must Hang. SACRAMENTO, CAv., Feb. 12.—As the day approaches upon which Ivan Kovalev, the Russian escape from Saghalien Island, must expiate his crime on the gallows for the brutal murder of . W. H. Weber and wife in this city, the prisoner shows more and more his intense fear of stepping over the boundary into the great unknown. Ivan Kovaley, the brutal murderer of the aged couple, is a coward of the worst description. The man who without com- punction could rain blow after blow with an ax on his feeble victims, walk bare- footed in their gore, coolly rifle the residence, remove his torn and vermin-infested garments, replacing them with the clothes of the murdered man, then return to his old-time haunts in San Francisco and spend the' proceeds in wild revelry, fears to meet his death with an intense fear that may yet result in his cheating the gallows. Several weeks ago Warden Charles Aull stated that he had never seen a man so | absolutely consumed by fear as was Kovalev, and he added: . “I doubt if he will ever Jive to mount the gallows. I think the man will dieof | fear before the time for hisexecution ar- rives.” Kovalev occupiesa cell in the solitary ward of the prison, but has several com- | panions who are also doomed to a dis- | graceful death, yet he pays little heed to | his surroundings and all his ‘thaughts seem to dwell on the fact that he must die, and in imagination he has suffered a thou- sand deaths since his removal te Folsom State Prison. CHICO MERCHANTS SWINDLED. Crooked Work on the Part of Advertise- : ment Solicitors. CHICO, Car., Feb. 12.—The old game of a man and his confidence schemes has | cropped out again in Chico, and a good many of our prominent business men are | interested; butfew will lose more than | the money already advanced. Last September & man signing himself | J. H. Hunter arrived in Chico and visited | the business houses in town for the pur- | pose of securing advertising in a Pacific | Coast directory. He claimed to be repre- | senting the Merchants’ Publishing Com- g{any of 632 Market street, San Francisco. e set up the value of a card, or ‘‘head- ings,” in this directory, and asked $2 50 for publishing the same. | Many were coaxed into the scheme, paid | Hunter $250 and took his receipt for the | money. But in order to have the name | and business properly printed Hunter | asked eech advertiser to write his name | and business on a piece of paper. That | paper had a little printing on it and sey- | eral blank lines, but this the advertiser | paid little attention to. Nothing more was heard of the matter until last Saturday, when a new man ap- peared in Chico, went to these Chico mer- chants and demanded $3 from each for adverfising ‘their business in a United States directory published in New York. The demand was politely refused, each man stating that he had not -given an or- der toany New Yorkdirectory. Theagent, who signed his name H. S., then produced an order bearing the advertiser’s signa- ture, agreeing 1o advertise to the extent of $3 in the Continental Commercial Register. That_there is a swindle on the part of J. H. Hunter or H. 8. or the companies they are supposed to represent is evident. ————— RED BLU¥F SUICIDE. Josh Charlton, in a Crazy Moment, Blows His Brains Out.

The proposed amendments to the rules wt]alre then gone into and changes made as follows: Section 2 of rule 2 was amended to do away ‘with entry by telephone. Rule 3, section 2, reads: ‘“No sugpension for non-payment of dues as aforesaid shall be law- {ful unless ordered within one week of the time of the meeting.” The time was extended to two weeks. In section 3 of the same rule the words “re- gardless of 7 were stricken out and the words “‘shall be void’’ were inserted after “‘published conditions.” % Section 4 of rule 6 deals with false descrip- tioas for fraudulent purposes and orders that Ruilty persons be expelled. The section was amended to read “shell be fined, suspended or expelled.” Sections 6 and 7 of this rule were done away with, and section 8 becomes section 6. Rule 16, on protests, becomes rule 8 and was emended 'in section 7. The amendment calls for the expulsion on conviction of fraud, in allowing protests or information to be with- drawn, not only of the member so permitting, but also of the executive officers. Rule 8 be- comes rule 9, and 50 on. The words ““fined, suspended or” are inserted before “‘expelled” in section 2 of rule 15. In rule 16 (old rule 15) the words “not other- wise obtainable” are inserted after the word “information.” Rule 17 was changed so that a horse shall not be drawn except by permission of the judges, unless at or before the day precediug the race (omitting Sunday) the proper pary shall have lodged with the secretary of the cnur’m valid notice of his intention not to start. The rule before amended provides for written notice or notice by telegraph to the president, secretary or proprietor of the course. Section 1 of rule 18 was changed, making it compulsory to postpone, in case of unfavor- able weather, or any other unavoidable cause, to a definite hour, fair day and good track (omitting Sunday), all stakes and purses closed on the installment plan upon giving notice thereof, ete. The second paragraph of the section reads, as amended: ‘‘Any purse race except those closed on the installment plan that has not been started by 5 o'ciock P. M. on_the dug of the week on which the member had limited its meeting during the months of May, June, July or August, or 4 o’clock P. . during the balance of the year, shall be declared off and the entrance money retunded. ‘“Any purse race thet has been started and re- mains unfinished on the last day of the week to which the member has limited its meetlnf shall be declared ended, and the money di- vided according to summary.” On the resolution of rule 20, a period is put after the word “race” and a new sentence made, which reads as foliows: “After each ! heat riders shall come to the judges’ stand and not dismount or leave their vehicles with- out the permission of the judges, and shall be reweighed.” A new section was added to rule 28. Mr. Simpson was the anthor ot the section, which says that every heat in & race must be con- tested by every horse in the race. Rule 32, section 2, was amended to read: 1“When two or more horses have each won two heats and a dead heat.or a heatand two dead heats, or three dead heats, those alone shall start in the next heat,” A few other chanzes of an unimportant nature were made, the rest of the business being of a routine nature. It was after 11 o'clock P. M. when a motion to adjourn ‘was passed and the congress adjourned. i el o Inereased Mail Service for Alaska.

THE ISSUE SWAYS THE NATION. Overproduction, Improved Machinery and Cheap Transportation Cause Low Prices. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CaL., Feb. 12.—The preliminary discussion of the Lubin proposition took place before the Economic Seminary yesterday afterncon. Professor Ross introduced Mr. Greer, master of the Grange of California, who opened his remarks with the statement that he came to hear the discussion as a representative of the farmers of California. The farmers, he said, had taken great in- terest in a proposition which seemed to be a method for equitably adjusting relations between the manufacturer and the farmer. One honr and ten minutes was allowed to each side. The speakers: against the proposition were Messrs. A. M. Cathcart and J. M. Ross. The question was: “Re- solved, That, assuming protection to be the policy of this country, it is just and expedient that a compensatory bounty be paid on export of staple products.” Mr. Lubin stated that he did not claim o be an orator, but he wished to convince by the plain statement of fact. He had addressed a large number of citizens in San Francisco on the question where a vote was taken on the question after a speech by John P. Irish, with the usual result after one of that orator's efforts. He wanted no vote at Stanford, but he wanted a silent conviction to be burned into the heart of each of his au- ditors on a question that swayed the Nation. The speaker stated that Mr. Greer had issued directions to each of the Grange organizations of California fo sent peti- tions to Congressional representatives to support bill No. 2626. This would have its result. E “Tre question is not one of free trade or protection, but it is assumed,” said the speaker, ‘‘by the debaters that this is the question. The question is to be considered from an equitable standpoint. So long as a protective system is in operation, pre- venting the entry of cheaper . goods, whether that system has or has not ac- complished this, whether free trade is good or not is not the question. % “The question is, Assuming protection to be the policy of the Nation, is it just to refuse protection to the producers of staple articles by an export bounty 2"’ J. M. Ross, ’97, was the first speaker against the proposition. He called atten- tion to the terms “just,” ‘‘equitable,” *‘ex- pedient,” and explaining their meaning, he continued: “The falling in agricultural prices has been much overdrawn. Ali productions, agricultural and otherwise, have fallen together, due to improved machinery, im- proved transportation and other causes. Until it can be shown that the farmer has teen injured by the tariff it is unnecessary to demand that he be protected therefrom by a bounty. “Over-production for export is itself largely to blame for the fall in prices of agricultural stables. The proposalis un- just to.the taxpayer, on whom another tax is laid by the proposed bounty. The farmer cannot have his wheat protected from the Russian and Indian producteven by the paternal efforts of a Goyernment bounty. The export price will govern the home price, and as only one-tenth of the cereal production is exported the nine- tenths at home must be paid for by con- sumers at the increased rate. “It would be a class legislation, capable of being made use of in political corrup- tion. The bounty system has been found to be a source of great corruption. “The granting of the proposed bounty, it has been shown, would be unjust, first, because the farmers have not borne the burdens of protection; second, because the weight of those burdens tend to increase; .third, because the farmer have noespecial claim to compensation, since his troubles do pot originate in the tariff, and, fourth, because the bounty would be an inexcus- able tax upon other unprotected classes,” Mr. Lubin then rose to refute the argu- ments of Mr. Rose. “We do not take into consideration,’’ he said, “‘the rise or -the fall in cereals. The question is that if half the producers or manufacturers are protected, the other hali—the farmers, the agricultural pro- ducers—must in equity and justice be protected. The little brown man, so small and contemptible now, will in time be- come the master of the so-called mon- archy Anglo-Saxon, if he is given a chance. When agriculture is killed you kill the republic. Mr. A. M. Catheart, '96, said the bounty would mean the appropriation of public money for a class. No matter how small, the scheme is inequitable, He cited bounty export schemes of Englnl:d, showing that prices fell after going into operation in- stead of rising, and cited tablea showing what a small portion of the cereal produc- tion was exported. . “‘birdseye view of what protection really means.” He endeavored to prove that the system of protection to one elass had in reality meant an enormous, unseen, mis- understood tax on the people. By these figures he sought to prove that it was a merely just extension of a protective policy. The Lubin discussion was continued in the evening, Mr. Lubin defending his proposition from-the attacks of Professor | Powers. The chapel was filled with stu- dents, and as the discussion at times be- came warm and the cuts and pairies were fast and furious, the debate was quite in- teresting. - 'W. -W.Greer, master of the State Grange was the first speaker introduced an stated his object in being present, which was to listen to a proposition discussed whose effect had much to do apparently with the farmer’s welfare. Congressman Johnson, he said, had in- troduced a bill into Congress drawing at- tention to this question. The farmers rec- ognized that they should receive the same protection from the Government as that accorded to other industries. If there was any weakness in the Lubin proposition the sooner it could be shosn the better it would be for the farmer. Professor Ross said in substance that if a protection tariff actnally accomplishea all that had been claimed for it—which he proceeded to show it did not—then an extension was entirely proper and the farmers should receivé the benefit of the extended principle. "The groposmon ad- vance@ by Mr. Lubin had this much in its favor--it was an equitable method for do- ing for the farmers what was and is being done for other industries. The speaker showed how the bounty was opposed on protective principles as well as on free-trade J)rinclples. et such opposition, he asserted, was ha lg' con- sistent. Itis true that alone the bounty might not be a good thing; neither is the protective tariff, yet both combined might make a very desirable system. The speaker then proceeded to show how the tariff actually created new industries; but this was its one sole benefit, and once those industries were fairly started the protective system became class legislation and was unjust. The fact that it was con- tinued could not be taken as a basis for a proposition said to be equitable, yet based on.an unjust principle. Mr. Lubin’s speech was much in line ith his afternoon arguments, viz.: That his proposition was not class legislation, in thac it merely putall on the same basis. It was but the extension of the protective policy. He asserted its justice, and by concrete examples sought to show that at present the farmer, who was the real wealth crea- tor, was paying more than all other labor in taxes—indirectly levied. He grew quite sarcastic at times, and gave the professors several digs on their stand toward the scheme. Thkeco-eds are indignant that in a recent San Francisco article they were accredited with backing out of an agreement to play the girls of Miss West's school a game of basket ball. : The-manager of the Stanford team 1s positive in his affirmation that Stanford has never given nor received a challenge to play a game of basket ball with Miss | Wait's school team, and believes that her team has been confused with a Palo Alto team from the young ladies’ boarding- | school there. Baseball practice is continuing to attract the attention of the students, but = larger | number than usual spend their time watch~ ing the athletes at work on the track. MRS. PLATI'S MURDER. An Indian Jailed at Riverside Charged With Complicity in the Crime. RIVERSIDE, CAr., Feb. 12.—Francisco Rodriguez, an Indian about 20 years oli age, was landed in the County Jail here | to-day by Deputy Sheriff Marsh of Lm!I Angeles upon a charge of being an accom- plice of Francisco Guavis, the Indian who is 'charged with the murder of Mrs. ‘Amelia Platt, the Government ‘school- ‘teacher, who was foully murdered on the Pachango Indian reseivation, nearly WO years ago. : Rodriguez is an innocent-looking half- breed, who looks like anything but a mur- derer. When questioned regarding the crime of which ue is charged, Rodriguez declared his innocence of any gartiupn- tion or knowledge of the bloody affair. The officers, however, think he knows more than he tells. Other arrests will follow, and it looks as though the murder of Mrs. Platt would soon be avenged. oot ot “Horned” Their Professor. HANOVER, N. H., Feb. 12.—Eight Dart- mouth students have been disciplined for “horning” Professor H. D. Foster on Saturday, February 1. When the students fina an instructor unbearable the recourse of late has been to ‘horn’” him. Yester- day afternoon eight men were *‘separated” from the college for the rest of the aca- demic year on the ground of a personal in- sult to Professor Foster. P TS Little Marietta Reed’s Body Recovered. SANTA CRUZ, CAL., Feb. 12.—The body of Marietta Reed, the little girl who was washed to sea yesterday, was recovered to- day’ within 100 yards of the place where thé child was carried away. The body had evidently, after life became extinct, been carried about on the sea until the tide came in, when it was cast upon the beach in shallow water and left there when the tide went out. el i Wells Breaks Another Record. HOTEL DEL CORONADO, Car., Feb. 12.—G. S. Wells of the Syracuse racing team broke the three-quarter-mile flying- start, class B, world’srecord this morning, paced by two quads. Time, The influenee of tight collars in imped- ing the circulation of blood to the heaa by pressing on the jugular veins is well known to military surgeons with the troops in India; but the bad effect of such pressure in cooler climates has been dem- onstrated by the observations of Professor Forster of “Breslau, who states that 300 cases have come under his notice in which the eyesight has been affected by this dis- turbance of the circulation. e e The jubilee of Mendelssohn’s “Elijah” falls due this year. w @rop, He argued that an export bounty would increase exports, but the price of staples would fall; that is, the world price would ultimately become less. The bounty would not create any new wealth—what the farmer might gain the. public would lose—while the loss of National wealth (distributed on account of the bounty throughout the world) would be an un- necessary, unjust loss to farmers as well as others. In closing, Mr. Lubin showed that the English bounty probably failed because the bounty was paid onlyin case the ‘prod- ucts were transported on English vessels, The sugar bounty was cited as an example ofa bounty which had done great benefit in Germany. The price of sugar had fallen on account of the opening of new fields in France, Austris, the United States and elsewhere. ; Mr. Lubin himself now brought out a Itmpaid»on advice of collection. of pamphlets and from them Jgnoted figures showing what he called a W “Estrella Cigar, ew - Sizes. 2 for 25c. 3 for 25¢. 10c. ESBERG, BACHMAN & CO., Wholesalers R R RO OIS B TS SOME STRONG MEN The' Way In Which They Pose Before the Public. Truth About the Workings of These i “Men of Muscle.” HERE ARE NOT A FEW ENTHUSIASTS T who are wrapped up in the featsof the men with highly developed muscies who are known as the “strong men’” of theworld. Those easily impressed wonder—they admire—they in fact worship. But it.only needs the most ordinary industry to develop as the result of inquiry that the faculty of these “strong men” as ‘'stayers’ «is very small. And, indeed, if the truth were told, they would most of them have ‘‘a weak back” very suddenly if they were called on to do an ordinary day’s work. Most people know what that weak back means. It means & cer- tain indication that the individual who has it is not in good heaith. It may mean (taken in the abstract as & symptom) that one is suffer- ing from a severe neryous disorder, for in- stance. But asa rule it means that the system is “run down,”’ and from this state the most serious illnesses of which the world has any record grow. Any one who has any doubt on that matter may very readily have his ideas put right by consuiting any reputable man who has ever suffered from it. Perhaps a brighter or better example could not be found than Mr. George H. Bent of Rochester, Cal. Not long ago Mr. Bent found himself with a weak back and & completely shattered system, and placed himeelf—as he was in imminent danger—in communication with the pnysicians of the great HUDSON MEDICAL INS ITLT)",. That was the most sensible thing he could have done under the circumstances, of course, and now that they have saved his life (asheis abundantly willing to testify) he has written them a leiter of thanks. Itisof interest be- cause, although he has virtually been snatched from the jaws of death, his back still bothers him alittie, showing how vital is that symptom. ROCHESTER (Cal.), August 3, 1895. Hudson Medical Institute, San Francisco, Cal,—Dear Sirs: Yours of 24th duly received. This is where the good feeling comes in, for I am sure that you like to hear from patients who, like mysel, are about cured.

My back does not bother me hardly any now, and I feel better in_every way, Yours very truly, GEORGE H. BENT.
