He took it like a prince. It seemed natural to him to have money, but he lacked the moral courage to ask forit or to transact ordinary business, it seemed. I aiways had to do this sort of thing for him. “Well, as I say, he took the money and handed me $5, asking me to redeem a dictionary and some other effects that had been pledged for small amounts. “Then we walked down to the ferry, crossed the bay, and parted at Seventh street and Broadway, as I have told you before. “On the way he said to me: ‘If any- thing should happen to me I will depend on you as my friend to take care of that tin box which jcontains my decorations, which I hold dearer than life.’ “I promisea I would, and, saying he was going to meet Mrs. Marks and that he would see me again, we parted. “I went out ina yacht on the bay and heard nothing of the murder until I ar- rived home Sunday morning. “It is not necessary for me to tell you of the feelings that came over me upon re- alizing all the horror of the situation and the part I had been unwittingly led to play in it. “This man had evidently been plan- ning this murder for daysif not weeks. He had effected all his arrangements for realizing on the diamonds when he should secure them. “Then taking his razor with him he al- most cut the head from the body of the woman who trusted him. “Stripping the diamonds from his fingers, he went to bis room, washed him- self, shaved, dressed his wounded hand, and picking the diamonds from their set- tings brought them to me to pledge for him. “Can you understand how I must feel, haying made an intimate of this man for months; having served him as a good friend, to be brought into this predica- ment by him ?” Mrs. Genevieve Marks was seen at her residence last evening, at 427 O’Farrell street, and questioned as to whether she had given Blanther any diamonds, She said she had not. She said that since the first of May she has had nothing whatever to do with Bianther, and had seen nothing of him since that time ex- cept for afew minutes on last Thursday evening, when she intimated to him that he had better cease coming to see her. The two diamonds pledged do not, it | should be said, agree in every particular | with the description of the diamonds in the woman’s rings. One of them is a large stone with a yel- low tinge, the other being a white stone. Still, as Captain Lees has stated abso- lutely his beliet in Blanther's guilt, the discrepancy is not considered material. —_———— LEES CONFIDENT. Reports of the Appearance of Alleged Blanthers Coming In. The days go by and Joseph Blanther, supposed to have committed the bloody murder at the Kleineberg residence on | Friday night, remains at large. Nor does Captain Lees grow in confi- dence of his nltimate capture with the passing of thedays. I have evidence enough,” he said yes- terday. ‘““What I want now is to capture the man. The chief of detectives does not believe that Blanther went to San Jose. He thinks that what he said to Dodge about going to see a lady friend in that city was a bit of fiction intended to cover his trail when the officers got upon it. San Jose, however, is alive with officers on the lookout for the young Austrian, notwithstanding. The friends he had in being watched, especially that of the lady whom he was in the habit of visiting there. The search for those of the rings that have not already been recovered is being prosecuted among the pawnshops in every part of the State. Captain Lees sent out newspapers containing descriptions them even before the issuance of the cir- cular of yesterday. That he did not pledge all the rings in this City is also reasonably certain. Those that he did, however, there is every reason to suppose, have been already re- covered by the police. *“We have evidence in plenty,” savs Captain Lees., “What we are after now is the man.” Captain Lees, in discussing the tragedy yesterday, said: “I am convinced that this crime was premeditated; that the murderer took his weapon with him with the intention of doing just what he did. The indications are that it had been the subject of his thoughts for some time and that the hour was chosen. It is the act of & man driven to desperation by poverty and who simply did not know bow to earn his way in the world.” When the possibility was sugeested to Captain Lees that Blanther might after all not be Blanther; that he may have stolen his iron cross and other decorations, Cap- tain Lees answered decisively: “That is not possible. I have informa- tion that is conclusive that these things belonged to this man. They are honors and distinctions of high degree, but they have been won by this man just as they appear on their face that they do. These decorations are marks of high dis- tinction, and that they were worn by a of | Medals and Decorations From the Emperor of Austria to J. E. Blanther Found in a Tin Box in His Rooms. man of Blanther's age .s most unusual. Blanther was a man not disposed to bury his light under a bushel. On the contrary, he rather boasted of and exaggerated his achievements. That ail who knew him had not heard of their existence is another singular thing. George Dodge and others of his intimates, to be sure, knew of and had been shown these treasure, but other- wise they were not made much of. At the Hagans’, his Haight-street lodg- ings, where he lived for some time, Blanther was referred to as “the Count.” This was more on account of his aristo- cratic bearing and stilted style of talk than for anything his fellow-lodgers knew. They understood that he claimed to be a nobleman and so they talked of him as “the Count.” A story comes from Stockton thataman answering the description of Blanther passed through that city yesterday on a bicycle; that ne purchased a pair of over- alls and said he was on his way to Oak- land. The fact that Blanther never rode a bieycle previous to his departure from this City Saturday would tend to throw some doubt upon the story. Reports are being brought to police headquarters continually with regard to suspects. It was reported to Captain Lees last night that a man answering Blanther's description went into a restaurant on Bush street, near Kearny, yesterday morn- ing, and sat down at one of the tables. There were few customers at the time, and the waiters who noticed him were so so struck with amazement that they could only stare at him. ‘When the man became cognizant of the fact that the waiters were staring at him he shifted uneasily in his seat for an in- stant, then rose and walked hurriedly out of the restaurant. The proprietor did not consider it worth while to notify the police, but he tolda friend last night and the friend at once re- orted the matter to Captain Leea. that city are known and their houses are | 4 The captain does not place much re- | liance upon the story, but has detailed | one of his men to make an investigation. ———— A SUSPECT AT STOCKTON. Sheriff Cunningham Thinks Blan- ther Passed Through That City on a Wheel. STOCKTON, Car., May 19.—Sheriff Cun- nigham thinks that J. E. Blanther, the man who is supposed to have murdered Mrs. Langteldt in San Francisco, passed | through here to-day, and has notified the authorities at Sacramento and at the towns between Stockton and that point to look out for him. Shortly after 11 o’clock to-day a tall stranger entered the I X L, one of the large | clothing stores on Main street, and asked | for a combination blue overall suit. He was waited on by J. Rothschild, one of the salesmen, and they chatted together for some time, as the man had a bicycle with him and Rothschild is one of the lead- ing men of the Terminal - City Wheel- men. The stranger wore a black clay worsted frockcoat with black trousers. He also had a brown hat and black lace shoes. These matters did not strike Rothschild until after the departure of his customer and until Le saw the picture of Blanther in the San Francisco papers this after- noon, when he at once called the attention of his fellow-clerks in the store to the remarkable resemblance the man who bought the overalls bore to the likeness and description of the titled Austrian who is now being sought after by the Eolica of 8an Francisco. Sheriff Cunning- am was notified without delay, and from the statements made by Rothschild and Apollinaris NATURAL MINERAL WATER. MALICIOUS STATEMENTS having been disseminated that the APOLLINARIS WATER offered for sale in San Francisco is not the Natural product of the APOLLINARIS SPRING in GERMANY, notice is hereby given that every arrival of APOLLINARIS WATER is accompanied by a CERTIFICATE from the Proprietors of the APOLLINARIS SPRING stating that the shipment consists of Apollinaris Natural Mineral Water, bottled at the Apollinaris Spring near Neuenahr, Rhenish Prussia. Such Certificates are invariably declared and sub- seribed to by the said Proprietors in the presence of the CONSUL of the United States of America at COLOGNE in GERMANY, and are filed at the San Francisco Custom House where they can at all times be inspected.

He was a man of education and | pleasing manner. | |~ What excited the clothing clerk’s sus- | picions even before he saw the San Fran- | cisco papers the story told by the | man. He had with him a Crescent wheel | | of the 1896 model, which he said he had | ridden 500 miles, yet his suit of black | clothes were not travel-stained and he had |no parcels or luggage strapped to his | | wheel, as would be natural with any one | making such a journey. Rothschild also nmicrf that he did not seem used to ) handling a bicycle, and brought his wheel into the store with_him when making his | purchase. He told the man who waited on him that he intended to wear the over- alls over his suit, as he was about to com- | plete his journey by making the run be- | tween Stockton and Oakland. The over- | alls sold the stranger were 35inches n the length of the legs and 34 inches in size | | about the waist. The man who made the | | purchase is described as being just about | | the height of Sheriff Cunningham, who is 5 feet 1114 inches tall. The Veteran San Joequin County Sheriff | | thinks that if the man who was here is | Blanther his story about riding to Oak- | land is untrue and that he went on toward | Bacramento instead. The authorities there have been notified. + _There seems but one discrepancy in Rothnschild’s description of the stranger and that furnished by the S8an Francisco | police of Mrs. Langfeldt’'s slayer. The | clothing clerk says the man wore a brown hat, but thinks it was a Fedora, while Blantbuer is described as wearing a brown De‘rby. In complexion and weight they | tally. | _ The officers here are locking out to-night for such a Ferson as was here to-day, but | it is thought by them that he left the city shortly after meking his purchase of over- alls, which would effectually cover up his black suit. AR A SAN JOSE SUSPECT. | | Officers Are Hunting for the Sus- pect in the Santa Clara | Metropolis. | S8AN JOSE, CiL., May 19.—The officers | of San Jose are now almost positive that J. E. Blanther, the slayer of Mrs. Lang- feldt, is ia this city. | A stranger applied to-night at 10°0’clock | for lodgings at the lodging-house of Peter | Maguire, 50 South Fourth street. | Maguire first noticed the foreign accent. He then scrutinized the man’s face and appearance and became convinced that the stranger was Blanther, The appli- | cant for lodgings was nearly six feet in | height, had a brown mustache and wore a | light brown derby hat. He also wore | | glasses. ‘ | Maguire told a stranger that his house | was full. As soon as Blanther left Ma- guire went to the corner and telephoned | to the police and Sheriff’s office. The | officers have since been searching for the | stranger without success. | Councilman Krieg saw Blanther after | he left the Maguire House. | He remarked | to a triend of the remarkable resemblance | to the picture of the murderer published | in the San Francisco CALy, but before the | officers arrived on the scene the stranger | | had disappeared in the darkness. ErEiipiinge IS IT A STOLEN NAME? Hungarlans and Austrians Here Belleve a Blanther Is Not a Murderer. “Joseph Blantner is not the murderer of poor old Mrs. Langfeldt.” That is the startling opinion of the Austrian-Hungarian colony here. “No man who has ever been decorated as he has as a first lieutenant in the Sixty- fiifth Amstrian Infantry under Archduke Ludwig Victor and who earned the iron cross when he was less than 20 years of age couid be guilty of such a crime.” As major in the regiment at Bankok, Siam, King Humbert of Italy conferred np,;)n him the knighthood of the crown in 1881, X There is not an Austrian in this City who believes Blantler committed a crime no matter how venial, The Austrian-Hungarian idea is clean cut. They believe that if the murder was committed by the young man who was known as Blanther the murderer had assumed a name which did not belong to him. It is customary among Hungarians, Austrians, French, English, Germans and Russians to register at their respective consulates when they visit this City. This is done especiaily when men of Von Josef Blanther's standing are on a tour, and lnq:anlly the consulate is noti- fied officially by the home Government of the arrival of such distinguished people. In this case the Austrian-Hungarian Consulate never dreamed that a com- atriot of the distinction in which the lanther name is held was in the United States. A Francis Korbel, the Austrian-Hungarian Consul in this City, was called upon by a reporter of this paper last evening. =] have read of the horrible murder of rs. Langfeldt,” be said, ““and the name of Blanther was mentioned in the first articles published. I paid no attention to that name, as it was thoroughly unfamil- iar, This morning, however, when the papers and decorations found in the man’s rooms were published broadcast I became more interested. 4 ‘‘A man holdlng such ‘decorations and such papers must have earned them hon- orably. Such a man is not likely to com- mit murder. “In consequence I have caused people | transacted to-day, to canvass the Hungarian and Austrian | with an address of colony to learn whether there has ever been a Blanther here, and I have found no one who could give me information in the matter.” The supposition, as hjnted at by all the people interviewed, is that the man known to a few people as Josef Blanther was masquerading under another man’s name, Captain Lees, who as head of the local detective force, is engineering the investi- gation in the Langfeldt case, believes that Blanther is entitled to a!l his titles so far as ownership is concerned. In fact, he holds back a trump card, so it is under- stood, which is conclusive evidence that not only Blanther is a titled man, but one Xho has committed a most atrocious mur- er. The odd feature of the case is that after procuring the papers and decorations by theft or murder, providing this theory is true, the man known as Blanther did not exploit them to their worth in this City. As a matter of fact he acted as if he was'a regl nobleman, who, while starving, had too much dignity and pride to aliow them to suffer likewise in making known his identity. Captain Lees accepts this phase of the situation. He believes that the man he and his minions are looking for, as the murderer of Mrs. Langfeldt, is the genuiné Blanther who would sooner die of starva- tion than sell the decorations conferred upon him by two Kings. But, then, why did he leave his home without them after the murder he is supposed to huve committed ? There is an element in that which would lead to the belief that the man known as Blanther is not the murderer. At all events the Hungarins and Aus- trians of this City are strong with argu- ments on all sides, particularly on that which stigmatizes the wearer of the iron cross, a knight of the crown and a lieuten- ant under Archduke Ludwig Victor as a murderer. That they will not enter tain. 1t must be some ntk:er man. — e BLANTHER’S PAST. - Danlel Elsner Tells About His Acquaintance With the Suspect. Every indication at the present writing points to the probability of there being another dark and mysterious chapter in the career of Josef von Blanther, or, as he preferred to be known since coming to this City, Joseph Blanther, besides the murder and robbery of Mrs. Philippina Langfeldt. This was incidentally developed yester- day during the course of a consultation between Captain Lees and Danijel Eisner, an ex-officer of the Austrian army and a former comrade in arms of {the missing man and suspected murderer. And not only was the coming of Blan- ther (o this country under suspicious cir- cumstances brought to light, but the fact was clearly esumfi:hed that he is of the biue blood of Austria, and that by hisown merit he secured the place among the noble gentry of the domain of Emperor Francis Joseph. Mr. Eisner is_a furrier, whose place of business is on Kearny street, and he and Blanther were cadets together in one of the Austrian military schools, and after- ward were attached to the same infantry regiment, the Twenty-third. Later, when the Austrian army went to Bosnia-Buckowina, Blanther was trans- !errevt.l to the Sixty-fourth Infantry Regi- ment. Blanther distinguished himself on the field of battle by covering the retreat of a detachment of Austrians by a bold and in- genious strategy, and it was for this he re- ceived the hizh and exceptional honor of being decorated with the iron cross. He was subsequently promoted to be a lieuten- ant and then first lieutenant, In 1882 he entered the service of the King of Siam as military instructor, but with- out resigning his position in the Austrian army. On leaving Siam he returned to Austria and later came to this country. It is this last step that is a mystery. Mr. Eisner had never met Blanther in this city and only recognized him on see- ing his picture in Tag CALL. e e DROPPED INTO POETRY. Blanther’s Last Communlcation to the ObJect of His Unrequited Affection. ‘W hen Blanther was given to understand on Thursday last that Mrs. Marks desired to have nothing further to do with him he left in seeming anger, but on the day following his harsher feelings were appar- ently overcome by his softer passion and he sent the lady for whom he evidently felt a deep attachment the following crude effort at poetry: MaY 15, 1896.

THAT PROVISION FOR CHARITIES Causes a Revival of the Sectarian Question in the Senate. RELIGION IS DEFENDED. John Sherman Favors Any Form of Teaching the Truths of the Bible. ADOPTION OF THE AMENDMENT Considerable Argument Before the District of Columbia Appropri- ations Are Approved. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 19.—The Senate gave its attention almost exclu- sively to-day to the District of Columbia appropriation bill, A great deal of debate occurred over the question of charities and hospitals, the House bill appropriating a sum to be ais- tributed under contract with the existing institutions and the Senate committee amendment striking out that provision and substituting for it the usual specific items for the various hospitals, orphan | asylums and other institutions. It was this provision that was sustained by the Senate by a vote of 35 to 13. The only two general appropriation bills remaining to be acted on by the Senate are the fortification bill and the deficiency bill. The District of Columbia appropriation bill was the feature of the session. As it passed the House the bill appropriated $5,418,960, and as reported to the Senate was increased to $6,4961,808, about $300,000 less than the estimates of the District Commissioners. = Half of the amount comes out of the treasury and the other half out of the district revenues. 1 Tho first matter that led to any discus- ‘ sion was the provision “‘for charities.” As | the bill passed the House itcontained an | appropriation of $94,700 to he expended | under the direction of the District Com- missioners. The Senate committee re- ported an amendment striking out that provision and making appropriations directly to the several churches, institu- tions, orphanages and hospitals as usual. The amendment of the committee was opposed by Platt (R.) of Connecticut. It was also opposed by Peffer and advocated by Teller (R.) of Colorado, in charge of the bill, who said that there were no adequate reasons for such charities. A protest against the amendment was wade by Gallinger (R.) of New Hamp- shire. The opinion of Sherman (R.) of Ohio ‘was that the present system should not be struck down until a proper Government provision was made for the sick and needy of the district. Tonching the sectarian view of the subject, he declared that any religion was better than no religion. He believed in any form of religion that re- quired an appeal to the Aimighty and that taught the general truths of the Bible. All the charitable organizations of the district had been built up by charita- ble, religious people and had been encour- aved by annual appropriations for more than forty years; that aid should not be cut off from them suddenly nor until the Government was properly prepared to deal kindly and charitably and well with the poor and sick. He was, therefore, in favor of the amendment reported by the com- mittee. Gorman (D.) of Maryland and Cockrell (D.) of Missouri also spoke in favor of the amendment. allinger disclaimed heing actuated by any sectarian feeling in opposing the amendnient. Whatever might be his faults, he was not so narrow-minded as to desire to do an justice to or put an obsta- cle in the way of any religious association in its charitable work. He had no such feeling. He hoped he would never be- come so warped as to cast a vote or to utter a word in that direction. But there were, hesaid, in the amendment certain institu- tions that were manifestly sectarian. He had been brought up in an atmosphere where the churches, too, are of the poor and did not go to the treasury of the cities or States for aid, and he knew, reason why New Hampshire or any other State should be taxed for the purpose of helping religious organizations to carry on work of any kind, whether charitable or otherwise. Allison (R.) of Towa defended the action of the committee ia reporting the amend- ment. He declared the committee was anxious to meet the views of the House, but that they appeared to be impractica- ble. 3 After further discussion the vote was taken and it was agreed to—ayes 35, noes 13, as follows: Ayes—Aldrich, Allen, Allison, Bacon, Bates, Berry, Blackburn, Caffery, Cameron, Carter, Chandler, Cockrell, Cullom, Faulkner, Gor- man, Gray, Hale, Harris, Hawley, Hill, Jones (Ark.), Kyle, McBride, Pascoe, Perkins, Petti- grew, Roach, Shoup, Stewart, Teller, Vest, Walthall, Wetmore, White, Wilson—35. Noes—Baker, Brown, Burrows, Cannon, Chil- ton, Clark, Galling George, Mills, Nelson, Peffer, Platt, Warren—13. In connection with the appropriation for charities an amendment was reportea by the committee and was agreed to for the appointment of a joint selection of three Senators and three Representatives to investigate the various institutions of the District of Columbia, and to report, among other things, whether any of the Government appropriations have been used to maintain or aid any church or religious denomination. The bill was then passed, and after a short executive session the Senate at 6 o’clock adjourned until to-morrdw. RACING IN WET WEATHER. Popularity of the Sport of Kings Shown at Morris Park. MORRIS PARK RACE TRACK, N, Y., May 19.—The popularity of racing was put to another test at Morris Park to-day and came through the ordeal triumphaait.
