M INCORNIBLE B0}, A Deserted Mother With a Big Family Unable to Re- strain Him. | The Board of Health Endeavoring to Secure the Establishment of a Meteorological Institution. ALAMEDA, Carn, March 7.—Nobody has yet appeared to swear to a complaint against Miton Blake, the 9-year-old boy who stole a letter from the doorstep of Mrs. Joseph Halloway of 1180 East Oak- land, notwithstanding that the letter con- tained $20 in greenbacks. The money has been recovered by its rightinl owner, but the letter accompanying it, which was from her husband in Honolulu, was torn into bits by the young thief. The money was recovered through the man whom he offered to sell it to bringing it and the boy to the police. The reason no action is taken by the Postal Department is that the letter had been delivered and thus passed out of the hands and control of ths department when the theft occurred. The offender might be charged with opening a letter not addressed to him, but this charge, it is thought, would not have availed much. The police have turned the boy over to his mother with the under- standing that if he is wanted he shall be mduceg forthwith. The boy’s mother is aving rather a hard time of it. Her hus- band deserted her and her six children six months ago, and she finds it very dif- ficult to get along at best. The boy is not permitted to attend school because of his ilfering proclivities. He would seem to ¢ a fit candidate for a reform school. For a Meteorological Substation.

GOLD-BRICK SWINDLERS, Gordon and Raymond Held for Trial and Ward Given His Liberty. OTHER VICTIMS HEARD FROM. A Banker and a Widow Claim That They Were Swindled by the Prisoners. OARLAND OFFICE 8AN FRANCISCO CALL,| 908 Broadway, March 8. “Big Foot,” alias Gordon, and Raymond, alias Nesbit, the gold-brick swindlers, have }:een held 1o answer to the Superior Court in the sum of $10,000 each by Judgze Wood of the Police Court on the charge of bunkoing Farmer Hofstra of San Jose. The third one of the trio, Leake, ahas ‘Ward, who is thought to have played the part of the Indian, was discharged as he was not identified. There is little doubt but what the men will put up the cash bail or place the amount in the bank to the credit of some one whom they will secure to go on their bail. It is estimated that the party has cleared up no less than $50,000 in this vicinity at the very lowest calculation, and if all were known the amount might be swelled to a much larger figure. It is be- lieved that the men would gladly put up half of this to be allowed to escape. While the examination was in progress to-day an oid lady dressed in widow’'s weeds sat in a chair in the courtroom, and confided to®a person sitting near by that she had been swind!led out of $9000 by the same gang of operators, but she was very anxious that it should not get out. She said that she would not do anything about it unless the swindlers escaped the pres- ent charge. If this should happen she would come forward and tell the whole story. She was accompanied by an old gentleman, and before leaving the court- room the lady gave “Big-foot Dave” a very hard lopk. According to her story her husband had been dead but a short time when the honest old miner showed up and interested her in his swindle. She said she lived about a bundred miles from here. It has been reported to the police that a banker in a little town in the Sacra- mento Valley met this same crowd and assisted them to the extent of $2000. In return he secured two fine specimens of brass bricks. It is said he is a man well advanced in years, well edncated and the head of a banking firm that has the reputation of being a very conservative and safe institution. He, too, is very anxious that his name should not be made publie. The evidence in the examination to-day was regarding the storage of the trunks in which the brass (guld) bricks were found when their baggage was opened. J. D. Riker testified to hauling them to the warehouse. Hamilton Coleman, man- ager for the warehouse, testified to re- ceiving them and marking them in such a way as to be able to let Raymond, who was_going under the name of Miller, send orders for their removal. Later the trunks were taken out one at a time and then reiurned in February. Raymond explained the weight of tie trunks by say- ing he was traveling for a hardware firm. F. R. Williamson testified to farnishing Gordon ana Hofstra a horse and buggy on January 9. After being,away about two hours Gordon returned alone. Sergeant Hodgkins testified to the -arrests and of Raymond tearing up a note in his presence, which he pieced together. It was as follows: SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. Mr. Marcuse—DEAR SiR: Please lct bearer have telescope No. 3. The other baggage (two trunks) will leave with you for probably two months or more; bearer will pay storage un- til I send for them. Yours respectfully, C. P. MiLLER. The officer then identified the various articles found in the outfit, including a pair of shoes with the name Mills marked in them, which was found in Raymond’s trunk. Mills is Gordon’s alias. He claimed that he had never known Ray- mond until a few days before the arrest. When arrested be said his name was Miils. This closed the case, and the court made the order holding the two and dis- missing the other. PRAISE FOR OLDENBOURG The Prospective Duke Receives Mapy Congratulatory Messages. Woman Suffragists Outline Plans for Carrying the Constitutional Amendment—Notes. BERKELEY, CaL., March 7.—Congratu- latory messages by the wholesale have been sent to-aay to Charles Louis Olden- bourg, the U. C. studens, by his many Berkeley friends, complimenting him on his prospects of succeeding his uncle to the title of Duke of Oldenbourg and of ac- quiring all the wealth that goes with the royal cognomen. The prospective heir went to Stanford University yesterday morning on a visit to his fraternity broth- ers there and to attend the cotillon held last night. There 18 much rejoicing among his university friends here over the reports of his good fortune, and te-day ‘‘the com- ing duke” was the taik of the campus. Numerous theories were advanced as tu what be will do with all his fortune when he gets it—whether he will build a castle on the Rhine and dwell in luxury among his relatives for the remainder of his days or whether he will erect an observatory on the crest of some Rocky Mountain peak, to0 stand as a monument 1n memory of his love for America. Though Oldenbourg has not been in Berkeley since the public announcement of his enviable good fortune in THE CALL, which fact has made it impossible to have a personal interview with him. here, yet his fraternity brethren state that he does not altogether relish the idea of leaving the United States and his many friends here for a bhome beyond the Atlantic. It was remarkea, however, that the pros- pest of coming into pussession of the title and all the vast riches of his uncle will take him back, notwithstanding his at- tachments here. The entire chapter of the Greek letter fraternity of which he is a member went to Stanford to-day to join the prospective duke and to offer him their personal con- gratulations and assist in the merry- making at the Palo Alto institution. One of his friends at Berkeley tc-day, desirous of pladying a joke on Oldenbourg, sent him a dispatch purporting to be signed by an official of the university ask- ing him for an endowment for the institu- i He will return to his studies at third of a series being delivered by wall. known lecturers under the auspices of the Unitarian Society. COolonel Greenleaf de- scribed the advances already made by civ- ilized nations toward more humane meth- ods in warfare, and gave interesting details of the work done in War by various hu- manitarian organizations. France was declared to have been the first nation to introduce methods of caring for the sick and wounded, Napoleon having organized a medical department to his armies, though from purely utilitarian motives. The lecture was well attended and Colo- nel Greenleaf’s personal experience ena- bled him to illustrate his remarks with in- teresting anecdotes. ‘Woman Suffrage Campaign. BERKELEY, CAL., March 7.—Rev. Anna Shaw, the woman-suffrage speaker, will arrive from the East next Saturday to inaugurate in California the woman-suf- frage campaign for the passing of the con- stitutional amendment striking out the word “male.” She will speak in Oakland on the 17th, in Alameda on the 18th, and in Berkeley on the 19th. She will speak in all three places on ‘‘The New Man.” Mrs. George W. Haight, pres. .ent of the local suffrage society, stated this evening, with regard to the lecture on “The New Man,” which Miss Shaw wil! give, “I am sure that it will be bright and sparkling and full of philosophical reasoning drawn from her personal observations. “Miss Shaw always takes well, and T am certain that the lecture which she will give in Berkeley will be up to her usual standard, if not above it. “QOur State campaign,”’ said Mrs. Haight, “will be carried along upon a carefully planned and systematic basis. Conven- tions will be held in all the important towns of the various counties of California, at which will be present both Miss Shaw and Miss Anthony, as well as other speak- ers of note from tbe East. About May 13 we will hold a two days’convention in Oakland with the hope of layinga firm foundation for the county work.” The local society will hold their regular monthly meeting in Stiles Hall next Mon- day afternoon, at which_ Attorney Green Majors of Alameda and Mrs. Dr. Kellogg- Lane of Oakland will speak.

Maps for Distribution of State and County Throughout the East, OARLAND, Can., March 7.—A large and enthusiastic meeting of merchants was held last evening to discuss the work of the State Development Committee. The Alameda County delegation was repre- sented by W. H. Weilbye, G. L. Fish, J. A. Button, J. A. Remmel and C. R. Yates. Messrs. Street, Forsyth and Buckingham of San Francisco were present and spoke regarding the plans of the association. Mr. Weilbye, in speaking of their work, said “The State Development Committee 1s composed of 200 prominent public-spirited men, representing every county in the State. The object of the committee is to assist in the development of the various resources of the entire State and in estab- lishing a market for its products; to en- courage immigration of well-to-do people and their settlement in good homes and profitable business; to increase travel from the East and Europe, and to improve the facilities for entertaiuing tourists in all sections of the State. “To accomplish their object the asso- ciation is having 1,500,000 tine half-tone topographical climatic maps of the State made,on the backs of which are to be printed accurate and full information concerning the various counties of the State. The plan is for each county to pay for as many of these maps as they desire. This number is ihen printed with the facts of that county along with a tine half- tone colored map of the county. These will be mailed to Eastern addresses direct as furnished by the county delegations.” He then subscribed $100 toward the fund. Messrs. Fish, Button and Remmel followed with like amounts. C. R. Yates added $50. It is believed the balance of the delegation will do as well or better when the paper is submitted to them. The maps of this eounty will be the first issued, and will be samples for other sec- tious of the State to judge of the value of this work, and they will also be the first to be sent East, and will naturally attract at- tention to this part of the St: e e—— TEACHERS ORGANIZE.

Coroner Baldwin Refuses to Allow the Curious to View the Vic. tims of the Tragedy. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL.} 908 Broadway, March 7. Henry L. Hack of Sacramento, the father of the young man who murdered Miss Pa- checo and then shot himself, deferred his visit to Oakland one day too long. He came down thie morning, after receiving the telegram from the Coroner, and said that he had intended to come down to-day and take his son back. Hundreds of people thronged around the morgue to-day, trying to get a look at the romantic young couple who bad decided to die rather than be separated, but they were denied admission. So great was the crush that a couple of officers were necessary some part of the day to prevent trouble. This city bas no public morgue and the establishment of an undertaker is always utilizea as a temporary morgue. This being so, Coroner Baldwin refuses to let the curious see the remains of bodies, ex- cept in cases wherc they are unidentified. Tne crush to-day was so great that the Coroner was forced to hang out a printed sign, which read: y relatives and members of the press are permitted to view the bodies in the morgue."” **Because these people took their lives in a tragic fashion,” suid Coroner Baldwin, *'it is no reason why they should be stared at by eve:y vulgar and morbid person in town. Their remains are just as private, as far as the public is concerned, as though they had died natural deaths. If there were any purpose to be servid by allowing the public to see them then I would admit them. There is no crime to detect, no doubt as to the young folks' motives, and no doubt as to their identification. There- fore there is nothing to be gained by allow- ing thousands of people to gratily their morbid curiosity.” Councilman Heitman and Supervisor Johnstone called at the morgue and ‘were greatly surprised that they should be ex- cluded. The Supervisor took the matter Ehilosopuicully when the Coroner told im that the youth’s father had asked him to hold the body till he arrived from Sac- ramento, and that it was iherefore under the same instructions as a private case, Councilman Heitman, however, was not wclined to take his disappointment so calmly, and it was very evident that the Coroner jeopardized one vete by his de- mand for propriety. OAKLAND, CAL, March 7.—At thein- quest held to-night I. Hack, the father of the murderer and suicide, testified to the facts as told in this morning’s papers. Miss Martinez, a cousin of Diana Pacheco, told of her sister's method ot ning her living as a domestic and as a waitress and of her regard lor Hack, but had never heard her mention a desire to die rather than be separated from ber lover. The jury returned a verdict of murder and suicide in accordance witu the letters left by the young couple, ana the evident manner of their death as proved by the position in which they were found.

Must Aunswer for Receiving Stolem Property. OAKLAND, COar., March 7.—Mrs. Ella ‘Witmore, the mother oi one of the boy bur- glars recently sent to Folsom for ten years, was beld to answer to the charge of receiving the money stolen from Girard's store. Judge Wood said that whiie he did not consider the case against the womana very strong one, and while he might not convict her of the offense if sitting on a jury, he could not dismiss her at this time, unless he decided that all of Majors’ testi- mony was false, which he could not do. At first he fixed bail at $1500, but in re- sponse to an appeal of ler attorney it was reduced to $1000. Attorney O’Brien announced immedi- ately after the decision that he would sue ont a writ of babeas corpus in behalf of his client, as he did not think the evidence sufficient to hold her for the crime. He believed that the Superior Court would re- lease ber on a review of the evidence. He claimed that it had not been shown that Mrs. Wilmore received the money in the 93 | way contemplated by the statute. FOR SALF-MISCELLANEOUS.
