THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1896 DUNRAVER'S NAME | WILL BE DROPPED, No Longer Honore(l by the| Members of Gotham’s Yacht Club. TO BE SOON EXPELLED Captain Ledyard So Moved, but | Morgan Objected to Hasty Action. WARNING TO BE EXTENDED. Now the Earl Will Be Informed That His Resignation Would Be Very Acceptable. NEW YORK, N. Y., Feb. 13.—The an- nual meeting of the New York Yacht Club was held to-night at the clubhouse here. There were in all 127 members present. The meeting was called to order by Commodore Brown. After the trans- and civilization for three or five years, subsist on poor and meager food or none and hear no news from anywhere, has the stuff in him which brings results. I wouldn’t wonder if be had found the pole. *“The Fram was just the kind of a vessel he should have had, and Nansen was the best man of the age to go in it.” st iy | GUAYAQUIL’S GREAT LOSS. The Damage Caused by Fire Much Heavier Than Was at First Re- ported. NEW YORK, N. Y., Feb.12.—A special cable dispatch to the Herald from Panama says: The fire that swept through the city of | Guayaquil, Ecuador, yesterday did not result in as many deaths as at first feared, but the property loss was much greater. Only tive members of the fire brigade were killed, though forty were wounded and several severely. The death list may be materially increased. More than 134 houses, including several public buildings of great beauty and one or more of historic interest, were destroyed. Among the latier were the cathedral and the convent adjoining. The loss is con- servatively estimated at $4,000,000. CUBAN REBELS DEFEATED, Several Victories Reported by the Spanish Generals in | the Field. Another Band of Filibusters Departs to Join the Men Who Are»Fight. action of some routine business the fotlo ing resolution was offered by Captain Ledvard: WHEREAS, The Earl of Dunraven, an honorary member of this club, has publicly made cer- tain statements charging that foul play was practiced by those in charge of the Defender in the recent race for the America’s cup, and upon investigation of said charges, made by & committee appointed by this club on No- vember 18, 1895, and participated in by Lord Dunraven and his counsel, it clearly | appeared that the sald charges were | not only untrue in fact, but wholly unwar- | ranted and unsupported by any reasonable grounds of suspicion. Lord Dunraven has | neither retracted the said false charges nor offered any apology for making the same. | Under these circumstances it is in the judg- | ment of tne club manifestly improper that the | Zarl ot Dunraven should contiuue to enjoy the privileges of honorery membership therein; | therefore it is Re lved, That the secretary be instructed to 1 the Earl of Dunraven that his resigna- &s an honorary member of the New York 1t Club is requested by the club, The following cablegram was then read: LoxDoX, Feb. 12. New York Yacht Club, New York: For- letter Rives Saturday, Phelps to-day. DUNRAVEN. J. P. Morgan opposed the immediate adoption of the Ledvard resolution, and in moving an amendment to it said: In view of the dispatch which has just been received by the secretary, it seems to me unwise for the club to take any action to-night on the resolution offered by Cap- tain Ledyard. 0 wa e, *‘Not that we are not in a position to do | 80, but as we have extended to Lord Dun- ‘ raven every courtesy up to this time I think it would be a mistake, 1n the face of the dispatch from him stating that there | are letters on the way, to act too hurriedly to-night, when we can just as well do it in a few days. I would mave, therefore, that this meeting be adjourned to two weeks from to-night (February. 27), to take action on the resolution offered by Captain Led- i yard.” The amendment was carried by a large majority, although some of the members were not in favor of granting the eark fur- ther time and maniiested a strong desire to demand his resignation immediately. The regular nominees for officers of the club were all elected without opposi- tion. Commodore E. M. Brown was re- elected, as was also the regatta committee. Hon. E. J. Phelps and Captain A. T. Mae han, U. 8. N., were elected honorary mem- pers of the club. The date of the annua’ regatta was fixed for June11. The meet- 1ng was then adjourned to February 27. 08, WAKSEN KT THE NORTH POLE Continued from First Page. wouldn’t wonder if Nansen had really found the pole. “Why not?"” he said at the Occidental last night. ‘“‘Nansen is just the man to do it. Heis a Norwegian and there is nobody like the Norwegians to stand excruciating cold, snow and little food. Their powers of endurance are wonderful. And they take pride in it, too, when there is occasion for it. *“What greater incentive could one have than the hope of finding the pole? Add to all this the fact that Nansen is young with lots of new good blood in his veins, the feeling of conquest and glory upon him, besides being better equipped than any other man who ever set out to find the pole, and you will see why he is peculiarly the man for the effort. Nansen has studied the whole matter and has the accumulated knowledge of the ages. I have been at Irkutsk. Itissomething over 1000 miles from the coast which borders the Sea of Kara. I do not know Kouch- nareff, the reported agent of Dr. Nansen, who is said to have arrived at Irkutsk, but he is a Russian probably. That is a com- mon name in Siberia. <‘As to the Sea of Kara, it is rougn | enough there, but not as terrible as would appear. We have thought at times of sending our own vessels that way to Lon- don. Captain Wiggin has crossed by that route many times. He sailed from London to the mouth of the Lena River, on the Siberian coust, and Sea of Kara, seventeen times. and only once was wrecked. “To-day I heard a man say it was non- sense to suppose thata man could arrive at Irkutsk in winter with the news. W}zy, it is the time a messenger could best arrive. I apprehend that the dispatch may have for months been delayed at some remote post. 1 think it arrived there at such a time in the fall as found the tundras stiil uncovered by the snow. The messenger had to wait till snow fell in depth. The way would then be good and the messen- ger could advance, He may have had to travel with dogs for weeks and months. “In these days of the cathode rays, when men are looking through a man’s flesh at his bones and you can look in upon the workings of the brain asa man can raisn the 1id of his watch and see the wheels, Nansen's effort should not be despised. . “His project is really feasible. I say this knowing much of the country he has to contend with. The story that he has found the pole should not be laughed at. Tue man who could give up family, friends ing for Freedom. | HAVANA, Cusa, Feb. 13.—Colonel Tort | reports that 1500 rebels, under command of the leader Castillo, attacked a small detachment of his troops who were en- gaged in repairing the telegraph lines near | San Filipe, the fight lasting an hour and a half. The rebels had three men killed and fifteen wounded. Reports are also re- ceived that a column of Spanish troops coming by train from Guara to San Felipe were surrounded by the enemy, who had burned a bridge to compel the train to ston. The Spanish soldiers fought with great bravery and dispersed the rebels with the loss of five killed and many wounded. Another column of Spanish troops aa- vancing from Aljaria met and dispersed a party of rebels, killing eleven and wound- ing twenty-three. The only Spanish loss | reported during the entire series of en- gagements was the wounding of Corporal Jose Sanchez. The official report of a battle between Colonel Lopez Amor, with 400 Spanish troops, and a force of 5000 insurgents has just been given out. The report says the figit lasted the entire day of February 8. The rebels sustained heavy losses and the Spanish troops had six killed and forty wounded. The troops conducted them- selves in the most heroic manner. The in- } surgents were the escort of the Cuban rev- | olutionary junta. General Godoy reports having defeated the rebel parties of Lacret, Nunez and other leaders at Five Palms on February 9, killing eighteen rebels. General Cornell reports having had a successful battle with the forces of Anto- nio Maceo near Artemisa on February 11. The losses of the insurgents were twenty- four dead, five prisoners and a large num- ber wounded. The Spanish had one soldier killed, seven seriously wounded and sixteen slightly wounded. General Cornell was himself slightly wounded in the chest. J. FRANK CLARK. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Feb. 13.—An- other Cuban expedition, including about 100 of the survivors of the Hawkins expe- dition, sailed from New York last Monday night. It was made up of Cubans from this city, New York and Boston. A steamer which the Cuban leaders here call by the name of Englewood, hailing from Nova Scotia, is the vessel. She was leased through a New York firm of ship brokers and brought on to Long Island Sound, where she has been lying at an- chor for the last two weeks. She carries to the insurgents 100,000 rounds of cartriages and 2000 stands of arms. The money to pay for this expedition came from Cuba a few days ago. In Cuban circles $97,000 in Spanish gold is the figure named. A mistake made in the Hawkins expedi- tion was avoided in this. The men were sent in small squads to the vessel and. the instead of loading in bulk, as was done before. BLOODY REVOLT AT SEOUL The Prime Minister and Seven Other High Officials Mur- dered. The King and Crown Prince Take Refuge in the Russian Legation. YOKOHAMA, Jarax, Feb. 13.—Dis- vatches from Seoul, the capital of Korea, say that a revolt took place there on Feb- ruary 11, during which the Prime Minister and seven other officials were murdered. The King and the Crown Prince were comyelled to take refuge in the Russian Legation, where they are now being shel- tered. The King had ordered that all of the Korean Ministers be killed. The Rus- sian Legation is being guarded by a force of 200 Russian sailors and marines. R REFUSED TO CO-OPERATE. From the First Russia Interfered With Armenian Reforms. LONDON, Exc., Feb. 13. — A blue book on Armenia, issued by the Government this afternoon, shows that Russia from the very first, refused to co-operate with the powers in exertin: pressure on Turkey in behalf of the Armenians, and also declined to use force in that direc tion herself, fearing that thereby she would assist the aim of the Armenian revolutionary committee, the establish- ment of ap independent Armenia, which Russia would never tolerate. CONSTANTINOPLE, TurkEy, Feb. 13.— The terms of the amnesty granted by the Porte to the inhabitants of Zeitoun are an- nounced as follows: Ali who are engaged in the rising there which resulted in the capture_of the town by the Armenians are pardoned, except the foreign leaders of the outbreak, who are expelled from Turkey. Christians and Moslems alike are not required to re- build the barracks at Zeitoun, which were destroyed by the Armenians, nor are they obli; to pnr their arrears of taxes. Itis mnger stipulated by the Porte that hence- forth Zeitoun shall have a Caristian Gov- ernor, arms and ammunition in small quantities, | HOME RULE 5 YET THE CRY, One Subject That Will Not Down in the British Parliament. DILLON’S AMENDMENT. After Considerable Argument It Is Put to a Vote and ~Defeated. « HEALY ADMITS DISLOYALTY. Ready to Attack and Thwart the Policy of Those Who Refuse Ireland Justice. LONDON, Exg., Feb, 13.—In the House of Commons to-day the Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, Secretary of State for the Colonies, said in reply to a ques- tion that only three of the Uittlanders ar- rested in Johannesburg were now in jail at Pretoria, and it was his belief that if any of them should fall ill they would be re- leased as was John Hays Hammond, the American. In view of the fact, however, that the inquiry into the cases of the men | arrested has been adjourned without date | he was considering whether it would not | be proper to suggest Yo the Transvaal Gov- | ernment thrat they be released or bail. George N. Curzon, Parliamentary Secre- tary for Foreign Affairs, made a state- ment in regard to the small island of Trin- idad, occupation of which is now a sub- ject of dispute between Greal Britain and Brazil. It was occupied by Great Britain, he said, in 1871 and evacuated. the follow- ing year. Subsequently Great Britain re- occupied/the island after communications on the subject had passed between England and Portugal. The Government, Mr. Curzon said, had proposed to submit the dispute with Brazil over the osccupa- tion of the island to arbitration. Mr. Curzon, continuing, said that the | island of Trinidad bad not been ceded to Brazil when it was abandoned by Great Britain, but to Portugal. Brazil had not | at that time an independent existence. | The reoccupation of the island by Eng- land was not based upon the ground of her previous occupation, but because hav- ing been abandoned for a century the island belonged to nobody. The debate on the address in reply to the speech from the throne was resumed, the subject being the amendment offered by John Dillon declaring that a balance of a bill providing for the self-government of Ireland had aroused discontent among the Irish and increased the difficulties exist- | ing in foreign affairs. Sir William Harcourt, leader of the op- position, said it was the belier of the oppo- sition that the discontent prevailing in Ireland would not be extinguished until the demands of the Irish for local self- government were satisfied. They would never cure the dormant disorders of many centuries unless they went to the root of the evil. The Government had said that it would never grant home rule. “Never” was a word which, in the liberal inter- | pretation, was unwise, especially in the mouth of an occupant of the office of | Chief Secretary for Ireland, and he would advise the Chief Secretary to modify the | expression to **Hardly ever.’’ The future of home rule, he said, de- pended much upon the course pursued by Irish members. Home rule certainly did not get a great deal of encouragement from John Redmond, whose policy, Sir William said, appeared to be to atteck home-rulers wherever he found them. [Cries of “Hear! hear!”] 8ir William, continuing, said that noth- | ing had occurred to alter the home-rule tinued to adhere to it as he repeatedly de- clared. [Cheers.] A. J. Baifour said he believed that when the Irish at home and abroad realized that Parliament - was sincerely and earnestly desirousof giving to Ireland a full and generous measure of justice, a change of opinion would occur, removing at once and for all time the dissensions between the nations. Mr. Healy admitted his disloyalty to England. He bad been sent to this Par- liament to secure the establishment of a native Irish Parliament, and his endeavor, therefore, would be to harass, attack and thwart in eyery way the policy of those who refused to grant Ireland home rule. Mr. Dillon’s amendment was rejected by a vote of 276 to 160. Henry Labouchere, the well-known radical, moved an amendment to the ad- dress declaring the Jameson inquiry ought to include the financial and political ac- tions of the British South African Com- pany. The Right Hon. Joséph Chamberlain, Becretary of State for the Colonies, said that he having carefully examined into the facts connected with the raid into the Transvaal believed that Cecil Rhodes, the directors of the British South African Company, the Reform Committee at Johannesburg and Sir Hercules Robinson, Governor of Cape Colony. were all equally ignorant of the action of Dr. Jamesen. Mr. Chamberlain protested against pre- judicing the case, The Transvaal Govern- ment, he added, was responsible for acts it would be difficult to justify. President Kruger, in showing moderation now, only followed the example of Great Britain on previous occasions. Mr. Chamberlain further said that the inquiry would inciude the objects of the proposed amendment. Nobody knew what the outcome would be of the trial of Dr. Jameson or the trial of the prisoners atv Pretoria. The Government had an mind regarding the inquiry. He had nothing to do with Mr. Rhodes’ return to Africa. Mr. Rhodes had told him that he was going back with the sole object of devel- oping Rhodesia. It would be-an act of in- gratitude now when suspicion hung over him to forget the services he had done and might do the country. Mr. Chamberlain announced that Presi- dent Kruger complained about the pub- lication of the dispatch sent by him (Mr. Chamberlain) to Sir Hercules Robinson reviewing the causes that led to Dr. Jameson’s raid into the Transvaal, enum- erating the grievances of the Uitlanders and snggesting a scheme of reforms, in- cluding the grauting of limited autonomy to the inhabitants of the Rand. This dispatch also contained an invita- policy of the opposition, and they cop- tion for President Kruger to visit England to discuss the questions at issue, and said that if he should be unable to accept the invitation Mr. Chamberlain relied upon Governor Robinson to prosecute negotia- tions for upholding the Anglo-Boer con- vention of 1884, President Kruger, Mr. Chamberlain said, also complained that he (Mr. Chamberlain) had interfered with the internal relations of the Transvaal. This Mr. Chamberlain rebutted, declar- ing that he bad been actuated by the sin- cerest wishes for the welfare of the Trans- vaal. He was confident that he would have the support of the country in con- tinuing all legitimate influence to secure the justice that has hitherto been denied to a majority of the population of the Transvaal. s GHOST DA OF STUDENTS. Peculiar Revelry Reported at a Dental College. INDIANAPOLIS, Ixp., Feb. 13.—A great sensation has been caused here by the dis- covery that the body of Mrs. Alonzo Rooker, who was murdered by her hus- band several weeks ago, was turned over to the Indianapolis Dental College, and during -dissection by ' the students was made the subject of jests and other in- dignities. It is charged phat the students sang the witches’ song from ‘“Macbeth’* around the corpse as it lay on the dissect- ing table, decorated the body with ribbons and conducted a kind of a ghost dance around it. The Coroner says that he turned the body over to the college asthe law pro- vides, and that he knows of no indignities offered. The officers of the institution deny that anything of the kind occurred, but the report has created a sensation, and is told with apparently truthful de- tails, 8o as to leave no doubt of its truth. HEARD N THE REICHSTAG Minister Von Bieberstein Pro- tests Against British In- dignation. Germany Has Only Protected Her In- terests in the Transvaal Accord- | ing to the Treaty. BERLIN, GerMANY, Feb. 13.—In pre- senting the Foreign Office estimates in the Reichstag to-day Freiherr Marschal von Bieberstein, Minister of Foreign Affairs, took occasion to declare that nothing had happened to justify the outbreak of indig- nation on the partof the British public. The good relations exisfing between the Ministers of Germany and Great Britain, be said, had neyer for a moment been in- terrupted. It is not true that President Kruger of the South African republic bad appealed to Germany to intervene. Germany had only protected her interests in the Trans- vaal under the commercial treaty con- cluded in 1885. He would not attempt to argue against English public opinion and he would equally avoid anything calcu- lated to pour oil upon the fire, but he aeclared he would demand the same right of free expression of the feeling of the people of Germany as England wields freely—the right te express the anti- German feeling of the people of Great Britain. This declaration was received with prolonged cheers. 1 Dr. Hammacher expressed his thanks that the Government had not identified itself with the fantastic increase of the navy which bad been suggested, Herren Lieber and Von Kardoff gave ex- pressions of thanks to the Government for its firm foreign policy. Herr Richter declared that harmony he- tween England and Germany meant peace throughout the world. War, he said, would work serious damage to Germany, but it would be disastrous to England in India and in Bgypt. Herr Bebel, Socialist, condemned the congratulatory telegrams sent by the Em- peror to President Kruger, which he said had justly aroused the indignation of England. If the case had been one in- volving free France or Russia instead of England, he declared the message would never have been sent. If such a policy was ventured upon, he predicted that Germany would some day be awakened by a dire catastrophe. He then proceeded to attack the policy of Germany in the East. FORTY PERSONS DROWNED Terrible Disaster by Which the Steamer Pearl Was Sunk. The Vessel Was Cut in Two by Being Carried Athwart of a Cable in the River. BRISBANE, QUEENSLAND, Feb. 13.—The stzamer Pearl, having on board about eighty persons, met with a peculiar acci- dent to-day that resulted in the death of forty persons. The Brisbane River has been greatly swollen by heavy rains that have fallea lately and the current is run- ning very strong. The Pearl was not powerful enough to stem the current, and was swung broadside on and carried down the river. ¢ Before she could get way enough on to carry her out of danger she was carried athwart the cable chaine of the Lucinda, which was lying at anchor in the stream. The Pearl struck the chains with sach force that she was almost completely cut in two. Then the current turned her over and she sank. Before she went down, however, a vast volume of steam was seen ascending from her, and it was afterward learned that her steam-pipes had been broken. Many of those on her lower deck were fatally scalded, while forty others were drowned. The work of rescuing the survivors was extremely difficult, as they were carried seaward with great rapidity by the flood. Thousands gathered about the scene of the disaster, and there were many affect- ing scenes as the living and dead were brought ashore. Some of the bodies will never be recovered. et To Row Across the Atlantic. NEW YORK, N. Y., Feb. 13.—George E. Harbo and Frank G.Samuelson, sailors from the' fjords of Norway, are making preparations at Atlantic Highlands to cross the Atlantic in a skiff, with nothing but their sturdy arms and two pairs of stout ash oars. They expect to startas soon as the fine and moderately warm weather sets in. The skiff is eighteen reet long and will \have water-tight compart- ments at both ends. Fresh water will be used as ballast, and will be replaced by salt water as it gradually becomes ex- hausted. The boat will be furnished with life lines and will carry provisions for sixty days. AWRUL BTE OF MRS, PLATT, Outraged, Murdered and Her Body Burned by Three Red Fiends. ONE INDIAN CONFESSES. Dragged From Her Home, Choked and Prevented From Mak- ing an Outcry. ROBBERY THE PRIME MOTIVE. An Almost Incredible Story of Brutal- ity—The Perpetrators Are All Under Arrest. LOS ANGELES, Cin., Fab. 13.—Two other Indians have been arrested for com- plicity in the murder of Mrs. Platt, the Indian school teacher at Temecula. Their names are Francisco Rodrigues and Ventura Marido. The two men were brought before Jus- tice Vawater at San Jacinto and arraigned on a warrant charging themwith murder. Guavish was also arraigned before the same Justice and the examination set for February 25. Last evening in the jail at Riverside one of the last two men arrested broke down and made a complete confession. The con- fession was made to Sheriff Johnson of Riverside and Deputy Sheriff Martin Marsh of Los Angeles. His story is to the effect that on Septem- ber 19, 1894, the three m&n now undaer ar- rest, together with Mateo Pa, went to the house of Mrs. Platt and demanded that she give them some money. In some manner they bad learned that Mrs. Platt had that morning received her salary from the Government. Mrs. Platt, howeyer, deposited all but $20at Temecula. She informed the quartet of this fact when they called at her house, but they did not believe her. That even- ing three of the men returned to Mrs. Platt’s house. In some manner they got her to come to the door without wakineg her little niece. As she opened the door, Guavish is said to have grabbed her about the throat, thereby preventing her from making an outcry. She was taken about 250 feet from the house and outraged by the three fiends. Aiterward she was murdered. Her body was then carried back into the house, sat- urated with coal oil and the torch applied. In making the confession the young buck stated that Mrs. Platt was strangled to death by Guavish before being as- saulted. He also stated that Mateo Pa was not with them when they returned in the evening, but that he knew of their in- tentions and sanctioned them. RIDERS ARE REINSTATED, the Appeals Acted Upon at Closing Session of the Wheelmen. Advisability of Incorporating the League Discussed and a Com- mittee Will Investigate. BALTIMORE, Mp., Feb. 13.—Only a cor- poral’s guard of delegates to the L. A. W. convention were 1n their places when Pres- closing day’s session this morning. Many of the delegates had departed for their homes. A committee of five was appointed to take up reinstatement appeals from the decision of the racing board, to hear all evidence and report their findings to the convention. The method of selecting the place for holding the National midsummer meet came up under new business and caused a prolific debate. It was finally de- cided to empower the legislative commit- tee, the president and the first and second vice-presidents to set the place of holding the meet by mail vote of the members of the assembly, or the executive officers of each division, subdivision or consulate, or of the boards of officers of the same, or of the membership at large, as in the judg- ment of the executive committee shall be deemed best. The special committee anpointed to con- sider reinstatement appeals made a report which was adopted. By it A. Parker Rich of Harrisburg, Pa., Robert J. Jobin of New Orleans, L. A. Ryer of Jersey City, A. W. Cleaves of Chicago, Albert M. Price of Ghent, Ky., and James W. Curry of Au- rora, 111, are reinstated. The advisability of incorporating the league was discussed at length end Messrs. Sams of Maryiand and Cossum and Potter of New York were appointed a committee to inquire into the laws of the various States in relation to the matter, with power to take out incorporation papers. During the last hours of the convention several unimportant amendments to the constitution were rushed through. The incoming executive commitiee was dele- gated to select the place for holding the next annual assembly. Mr. Potter pre- sented the case of F. J. Titus of Brooklyn, formerly a class B rider, and made a strong appeal to the assembly to reverse the action of the racing board and reinstate the man, who was suspended for life because of alleged unfair riding at St. Louis last fall. Mr. Sams indorsed the mption and amended it by urging that Cabanne of St. Louis, who was involved in the trouble and also suspended for life, be reinstated. The convention adopted a resolution recommending that the racing board remove the life suspensions and make it suspension for one year from the date the sentence took effect. The con- vention at 2 o’clock adjourned sine die. —_— NOTABLE DEATH AT PASADENA, Allen Dodworth, a National Celebrity, Sucoumbs to Preumonia. PASADENA, CAL., Keb. 13.—Allen Dod- worth died Wednesday evening at his home on Terrace drive, Pasadena, aged 78 years, after one week’s illness of pneu- monia. He was perhaps the most widely known man in private life in the United States, having for nearly fifty years been at the head of the fashionable dancing- school of New York City, the Dodworth Academy, which he established on Broome ident Willison rapped for order for the | street in 1848, but for the last fifteen years has been on Fifth avenue. His father, Thomas Dodworth, an Englishman, was the founder of the famous Dodworth band, of which the deceased wasa member for many years, being celebrated both as a violin and cornet plaver. He was a man Wwhose name is well known in thousands of households throughout the East, he hav- ing taught dancing to the great-grand- children of early patrons, his patronage being the elite of New York City. SiX years ago in_failing health he came to Pasadena to reside. Since then he has spent his time here with the. exception of a summer at the Hotel del Coronado. He leaves a wife—who with him would have celebrated their fiftieth marriage anni- versary had he lived until July—and two sons, Frank Dodworth of Brooklyn and Allen R. Dodworth of Pasadena. The remains will be interred in Pasadena on Saturday. ST R PROHIBITION AT RIVERSIDE. The Law Gains Another Victory by a Decision of Judge Noyes. .RIVERSIDE, CAr., Feb. 13.—The pro- hibition law of this city gained another victory to-day when Judge Noyes of the Superior Court handed down a decision in an appeal case wherein one Bush, a res- taurant-keeper, under conviction of illegal liquor selling, sought to have the verdict against him set aside. Bush was con- victed under that section of the law which gives to the hotels with forty rooms or more a right to supply guests with liquors while denying the right to houses with, less than forty rooms. I'he decision of the court is that the city had a right to_arbitrarily fix the number of rooms, and that Bush having only thirty-four rooms in his hotel was guilty of an infraction of the law. Bush, who is under sentence of $300 fine and thirty days’ imprisonment, will appeal the case to the Supreme Court. MILL VALLEY WARBLERS The Scheme to Import Feathered Songsters Assumes Tangible Shape. All the Sportsmen’s Clubs of Marin County to Take a Hand ic the Project. MILL VALLEY, CaL., Feb. 12.—The scheme to import songbirds into' Mill Valley has at last assumed definite shape. ‘Well-known business men of San Fran- cisco who are residents of Mill Valley have taken hold of the project with the in- tention of pushing it through as rapidly as possible. A meeting has been called for next Saturday night by Secretary Thomas Fot- trell of the Mill Valley Improvement Club and a general invitation has been extended to all persons interested in seeing such a worthy project ‘carried thronugh success- fully. Special invitations have been sent to the members of the Tamalpais Sports- | men’s Club and other Marin County or- ganizations of a similar character, and it |is expected that a large number of the lovers of birds will attend. Contractors have been consulted, and they have furnished estimates on the cost of constructing large cages, in which the birds will be kept for some time after they arrive in the valley, in order that they may become accustomed to the climate. Bird-dealers have also been asked to fur- nish prices at which they will supply song- birds of various varieties. Mr. Michalitschke, who isa resident of Mill Valley, and one of the members of the firm of Michalitschke Bros. of San Francisco, has been most energetic in his efforts to interest the people of Mill Valley in the scheme. He was seen by a CaLL correspondent, and said that a number of friends had talked over the matter of 1m- porting songbirds from Ireland and other countries. and had come to the conclusion that the best means in order to accomplish the purpose was to form a ciub whose members might pay a small monthly due which would go toward the support of the club and the birds. In this way, he thought, the members of the club could pay a very small sum, which, if the or- ganization held a fair membership, would be sufficient for all the needs. Secretary Thomas Fottrell of the Mill Valley Improvement Club was also seen, and said that an unusual amount of inter- est was being taken in the project by the people of Mill Valley and elsewhere. ~§Whr,” said he, “I have recerved nu- merous suggestions as to how the birds should be cared for. One person suggests feedinz them ué\on potatoes, and others have instructed me upon the ‘only correct method of building cages’ in which to keep the birds. I have written to Ireland and expect to receive a reply in a week or so, and I think it will be possible to secure the biras meeded at a very slight ex- pense. “A subscription list has been started and a meeting called for next Saturday even- ing, 80 you see that business is meant.”” Mr. Fottrell also said that it was the-in- tention to secure larks atonce. Every- thing necessary for the protection of the birds will be done and it is possible that the small boys of Mill Valley will be given a bonus for every scalp they secure of the detestable bluejay, which plays havoc with the young birds. e B STRANGE CASE AT WOODLAND. A Centenarian Nurses His Afflicted Son at the County Hospital. ‘WOODLAND, Car., Feb. 13.—For sev- eral years past there have been quartered at the County Infirmary William Sea and his son. The father has attained the re- markable old age of 102 years. The son is now in his sixty-third year, and probably no one has endured the sufferings he has and that are yet in store for him, His ail- | ment is chronic epilepsy, extending over a ‘period of sixty years, and his only relief County Physician Kier says will be the grave. His fearful affliction is attributed to a scalp burn while lying in a cradle too close to a heated stove. The old man and his boy are made as comfortable as possible in a little ward some distance from the main building. The son has no use of his limbs and lies in a contracted position on a cot in one cor- ner of the ward. The father is constantly at his bedside. In the early '60’s William Sea resided with his family upon a claim in Putah Canyon, in this county.

Shwarz was burglarized late Wednesday night and several hun- dred dollars’ worth of knives, razors and tools were taken.
