THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 292 PN 1897. POPE LED 10 DECIDE THE CASE Controversy as to Mgr. Schroeder Referred to the Vatican. IS QUITE WILLING TO RESIGN. But the Noted Professor De- sires the Consent of the Holy Father. CONCLUSION REACHED BY THE DIRECTORS. Guardlans of the Catholic Univer= sity Consider Important Matters Relating to the Institution. Speclal Dispatch to THE CALL. WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.—The Cardi- nal, Archbishops and Bishops constitut- ing the board of directors of the Catholic Uuiversity of America to-day decided to refer the case of Mgr. Schroeder, pro- fessor of dogmatic theology at the uni- versity, to Pope Leo for final determina. tion, This conclusion was reached late this afternoon and was formally announced in an official statement issued by the board. The case is one of the most notable in the recent Listory of the church, and, besides agitating the hierarchy to the center and engaging public attention in this country, it bas been considered at the Vatican and has been the subject of cable communica- | tions between Rome and the Papal dele- gateat Washington. The decision of the board as given out by the secretary, Mousignor Conaty, is as follows: “The board was notified that Bchrosder intenced to send in his re tion during his last stay in Germauny ; that Le did not do so on account of the advice received from the Holy Father. The board therefore leaves the final deeision to the Holy Father himself, and expresses its re- gret at the many charges made against Mazr. Schroeder in this connection.” Beyond this the officials declined Mgr. gna- to the decision, although there was an abundance of comment on its meaning acd effect. It was understood that while the decision was to refer the case to Rome for final action, yet tuat the board has ex- pressed its own view, which would be for- warded to Rome with Mgr. Schroeder’s views, and his retirement woula come ebout voluntarily within a year. Statements that Mgr. Schrceder had re- signed as a preliminary to the reference of tne case to the Pope, were pcsitively and autboritatively denied. After the board had adjourned a repre- sentative of ths Associated Press asked the Monsignor for an authoriz:d siate- ment, He expressed regret at the prom- inencegiven 10 bis name before the pub- lic, and said that he mcstearnestly wanted 10 re:i:n as a prolsssor during his last Vvacation; that he had been suffering very much from neu a while in Germany, and the pnysic ans ndvised him 1o resign on account of the great aund continued mental cxcitement connected with his position; thut he came bick to the uni- versity because tue Holy Father told bim 10 do s0; that, there.ore, he could not re- sign wiihout the consent of the Holy Futher; that as to the personal attacks mude upon him, his answer was only con- 1empt, and that he was glad to hear thai the noard cid not take the charges into consideration. The Schroeder case has been a Temark- able controversy in many respecis. Mgr. Schroeder entered the faculty of the university when it was started, and has been with it continuously ever siuce. He 13 a recognized authority on doctrinal and philosophical subjects; a man of wide schoiarship and cons.dered the for Laun orator of the church. Of recent years be nas differed irom bis assoc ates on questions of policy, and this was in- tencified at the time of the retirement of Bishop Keane from the rectorsuip of the university, it being asserted that Mgr. Schroeder was in part responsible for the change. He was recarded as the con- spicuous exponent of the German clergy and views they entertained on church poi- icy. Asaresuit of the differences the at- tention of the board of directors was brought to Dr. Schroeder’s case with a yiew of his removal. When the vboard hrst met little doubt was felt in university circles that his re- tirement would be brought about. It de- veloped, however, that on Sunday last s cablegram from Kome bad_been receiv.d by Mgr. Martinelli, the Papal delegate, asking him to inform the board that the Pope desired Mgr. Schroeuer to remain at the university. It was also brought tothe attention of the board that Mer. Schroeder expressed a willingness (o resign, if eiven permission 1o do so by the Pope. Under the circumstances, after iwo days of earnest consideration, ibe decision an- nounced to-day was reached, transferring | to the Pope the final decision of the case. At the meeting of the Archbishops to cons:cer general affairs relating to the church, it was decided to continue the Catholic Indian Bureau, with Mer, Stephani in c arge, and to distribute abou: $175,000 for Indian schools. BATILE OF TRAFALGAR. Anniversary of the Event Celebrated Wore Generally Than Usual in England. LONDON, Oct. 21.—The anniversary of the battle of Trafaizar, fought October 12, 1805, was celebrated to-day more generally than usual. The Nelson monument on Trataigar square, this clty, was decorated with garlands, and the foot of the column was hidden beneath wreaibs, inciuding one from Canada, inscribed:' “England expects every man to do his duty.’” Nel-on’s flagship, the Victory, at Ports- mouth, was decked with laurels and ever- greens, and the spot 0a_the gnarterdeck wiere the British admiral fell mortally wounded was covered by an immense wreath. Tratalgar day was celebratea at all the naval ports of Great Britain and through- out the British empire. - Baron Fon Bulow’s Appointment.

The wonderful nerve of the defendant was with him to the end. He stood up, and with & good-na‘'ured smile on his face | shook bhands with his son Arnold, his | counsel and his business partner, William | Charles, and in less than five minutes was | ted back to jail, the jury was dismissed | and the great trial was over.

It is quite probable that some prosecu- tions for perjurv will resuit trom the Luetgert case. While the State’sattorney refused to affirm or deny this, it is given on first-class authority that the testi- mony of two of the principal witnesses for the defense will be laid before the Grand Jury for an investigation. it may be that more than two people will be in- luded in the iist that will be carried to the Grand Jury, out 1t is practically set- tled that indiciments will be asked for ageinst iwo protably before the Luetgert case can be reached for trial again. The two witnesses against whom it is said 1n- | aictments will” be asked are William | Charles, Luetzert’s business partner, and | Mary Siemmering, the domestic in the Luetgert hiuehold. WITHOUT A PROTEST SAN JOSE, Oct. 21.—The investigation of the charges preferred against Steward F. C. Young of Agnews Asylum by Meai- cal Directér Sponogle was blocked to-day by a writ of proh bition obtained by At- torney Nicholas Bowden. The writ directed to Managers J. R. Curnow, O. A. Hale, Isaac Upham, Frank H. Gould and K4 White, Secretary T. S. Montgomery and Medical Director Sponogle, and com- mands them to appear before Judge Lori- gan on November 10 at 10 A. M. and show cause why they siould not be rma- nently prohibited from discharging F. C. Young. The complaint recites that Younsz was | elected steward of Agnews Asylum in May, 1896, and since that time has per- formed his services faitufully; that on September 17 last he was given s notce of his discharge, contrary to law, by Medi- cal Director Sponogle; ‘that he nad de- instate him, but that they have taken no | notice of his demands; that he is an hon- orably discharged ex-Union soldier and that under the act passed by the Legi la- ture on March 31,1891, for the emuloy- meat and retention in vice of honora- blv discharged soidiers and sailors charzes must be made and sustained sgainst him before h1e can be discharged from his po- sivon. The complaint winds up by that Young nad reasons 10 believe tha the managers thelr meeting 10-day would iznore his request for reinstate- ment and discharge him, and asked that they be restrained. Just as the board was about to meet at the asylum Attorney Bowden appenred and served each of the members with a covy of the writ, This put a stop to the investigation, and after a little discnssion the matter went over withouta date be- ing set. The board of managers held a caucus at Secretary Montgomery’s office last even- ing to consider the Young matter, but adjourned without rtaking any action. The charges against Young were thathe neglected his duties; that he wasn’t around tte asylum enough and that be snowed partiality in buying supplies for the asylum, declaring MRS. ROBERT [Sketched from life yesterday. | The most notable of all the people who arrived here yesterday in the steam- ship Australia with passengers from Australis, New Zeuland, Samoa and Hawaii, was Mrs. Robert Louis Stevenson, widow of the celebrated novelist who wrote some of the best English of modern times, the revered author in whose memory San Francisco less than a week ago erected a memorial in historic Portsmouth square, in the heart of the piciuresqus old quarter where Stevenson was wont 10 dwell, and where he obtained many of the inspirations for his stories. Itisa melancholy fact that Vailima, the historic Sxmoan home of the gifted writer, is to be sold. The hou e and estate are, in fact, already in the market, and any one who wishes to acquire a famous residence for himself can do so for the paltry sum of $20,000. For this you can get not only the dwelling, which is really & fine specimen of island architecture, but aiso over 600 acres of land, much of which is cleared and planted, not to mentloa several rivers and waterfalls which are thrown in without extra charge. Then there is the historical reputation of the place to consider. Stevencon has made it famous to modern readers, not o much by his descriptions, for I do not remember that he has given us a detailed account of Vailima and its sur- roundings, except we include the scattered referenc ‘s in the *“Vailima Letters,” but rather through the fact that there he lived and worked for the !atter years of his life, and there he passed away in the midst of his native aaherents, who loved him with the fidelity of Scortish clansmen for their leader. But the natives knew the site long before Stevenson's days. For hundreds of years it bas beern ous meeting piace, often, inaeed, a battie-ground. Steven- son himse.f & , 10 one of hisrambles, he came across a bieached skeleton half hidden among the rank undergrow:h of weed d by theside of the victor's bones was a single be skul of the vanouished.” The warrior, cerrying home in triumph the heal of bis enemy, had himself been overiak n by death, and the relics had lain unnoticed in the silence of the bush untii the author had stumbled upon tnem. The very name itself, Vailima, n s the meeting place of five rivers, moun- tain streams, tearing down from the rocky ranges behind Apia, and just behind the house, spreading themselves out into the broai and fertile vailey of the Vaisipango. The point was one where any force advancing from the interior must debouch upon the coast, and hence the nat.ves loved 1o gather and aiso to fight here. And if Samoan legend be true, the shadowy le:ions often meet and renew 'heir old battl There are spots where the angangas, or spirits of the dead, assemble, and there is a beautiful green-bowered pool not far upthe river, where a dusky Lorelei dwells and entices all who listen to ber voice to their de- struction. These things may be but the imaginativa firelight talk of a superstitious people, but, sitting 1n a prosaic nineteenth century parlor of the Occidental, away from the glamour of angangas and ghostly armies, her grandchild cooing its infantile yprattle by her side, Mrs. Stevenson in all serionsness tells of an cceurrence wiich lesdsus to stop and think. “It was only about six weeks az0,” she remarked, *during the midadle of the night. Every one else about the hous: was asleep, when suddenly, with)yut noise of footstep or sound of any kind, I was lifted violently from my bed and thrown across the room. Twice this was repeated, until, in my despair, { thou-ht I had fallen into the hands of a midnight assassin. Fortunately, I took no harm, and then, when I had calmed down, I came to the conclusion that there bad been a violent earthquake.” **Was the house much damaged?” at is the cur'ous feature of the who'e affair. The doors were fastened, the locks were intact and no one had entered during the nicht. Burglars were out of the question, and as to the earthquake, nothing about the house was damaged, not even a piece of crockery broken not & piciure thrown down. And no one else had been disturbed dur ng the night!” It proved fuiile to ask Mrs Stevenson for an explanation of this strange oc- currence. The facts were there and I could draw my own conclusions. So can the reader. g But, to come down to every-day topics, Mrs. Stevenson explained that her visit to California was due mainly to business reasons. “I have to go to London,” she said, 10 arrange for the publicition of my late husband's life. Syaney Col- vin has the work in bhand; he basali the material, and some time ago he wro asking my presence in London, The book is to be partly in the nature of a bi- ography and partly a collection of letters, ard it will take some time before the tatk can be completed. Inthe meantime I am goire to avoid the Enclish climate by spending the winter here, and next spring I shall go on to London ana com- mence work with Mr. Colvin.” Mrs. Stevenson witl not be lonely during the winter months she spenas in California. She has hosts of friends and relations here, and already, though she has landed buta few hours, there is quite a family party rathered together at the hotel. Mrs. Strong, who accompanied her mother from Samos, is of course pres- ent, ana Lloyd Osbourne, with his charming young Calilornian bride, has come over from Berkeley to greet his mother and sister. Mrs. Stevenson’s sister, now married and living_in Oakland, is alsd there, as weil asa young nephew. And last, but not least, T must not omit to mention the pride of the Stevenson family, the grandchild born at Vailima, a kicking lusty youngster of eight months, Mrs. Stevenson hes little or no news to report irom Samoa. Things do not happen very often down there, or if they do happen they take a long time about it. The only thing of importancs is that the supporters of Mataafa are making a sirong mevement to get their chief back from uis exile in the Carolines. Nearly all of theex-king’s followers have come in and made submission to the de facto monarch Malietoa. so that there is now only one rebe! king in the field, the stub- born Tamasese, who still, safelv entrenched at Leulomoenga, declines to vield to the puppet monarch of the three powers. As this is the normal state of attairsin Bamoa there is nothing to worry about, the only question is whether, if Mataafa is brought back, his foliowers will maintain their present attitude of peaceful submission. Probably not. The chancss ave that, if this element of strife is let loose there will Le another tribal war, and the treaty powers will have again to crush the futite conflict. Coming straight from the Navigators, where, whatever one may say about the system of government, native life is absolutely free and nunhampered, . Sieven- son naturally sympathizes greatiy with the oppressed Hawatians, and 1s strongly opposed 1o the attempt now being made to furce them into annexation with the United States. *No, I did not see any of the leading Hawaiian chiefs in Honolula, my stay there was too short. But I may tell you tni In my opinion the annexation of Hawaii is a fooiish avd unjust thing for the United States to attempt. Unjust ecause the natives are all opposed 10 it, and foolish because the Union will only ?md itself with a big white eiephant on its hands, the possession of whieh will in- volve it in responsibilities, the extent of which we cannot measure at present.” Thus speaks tbe lady who knows better than any other the native of the South Seas, who'has been for many years of her life a si-ter to the brown woman, and for whom when the Alameda steamed out of Apia Bay hundreds of weeping na. tives thronged the beach. Men, women and children crowded in their canoes to the side of the steamer to bid her farewell, and even the white pa-sengerson board could not forbear crying for sympathy. Whether she will ever go brck to the fair isle and its kindly.people rests with the future. *I said farewell,’”” 18 all Mrs. Stevenson’s answer to the question.

The police believed that Grant had not only been implicated in several burglaries, hold-ups throughout the city. Detective Dillon was detailed with Murphy on the case, but as they ecould not get anything more serious against him he was charged with vagrancy and carrying a concealed weapon. Yesterday morning Grant appeared be- fore Judge Conlan. He took the witness- stand in his own behalf and the skeleton keys were produced. He was shown the keys ana asked if tbey belonged to him. He did not deny it. After the Judge had convicted him for carrying a concealed weapon h- was re- | turned to the dock. Policeman Murphy icked up the keys and at once remarked: hree of the finest keys are missing.”” ‘fhere was consternation in the court- room. Who haa stolen the keys? De- tectives aud policemen began to search the floor in the hope that they bad fallen, but could not find them. The Judge happened to look at Grant, and noticing that he kept one of his hands closed instructed Bailiff Kelly to search Grant. The bailiff found tie miss- in Grant’s hand. He was severely reprimanded by the Judce, and he will get the limit of the Jaw when sen- tenced to-day. Grant had deliberately, while alleyes were turned upon him, secreted the three keys in his hand, and he did it so adroitly that no one noticed it. His object in stealing them can only be surmised. Grant was sentenced November 11, 1893, to three yearsin San Quentin for burglary, and was paroled May 15, 1395, 3 'KIDNEY TROUBLES ARE DARGERGUS HA\'E YOU THE VBRY FAINTEST idea as to the number of deaths which | occur in the United States every yvear from kidney troubles? If you have you will admit that it is appalling. Yet in the earlier stages it is as simple a disease to treat as there is.

Just think now as to whether you have eith'r one of these symptoms. Ifyou have beware! There's danger ahead. Is your skin dry? Is your hair gatting gray? Is the scalp ary and the hair brittle? Do the legs feel too heavy? Is there nauses after eat'ng? Do the joints pa‘n and ache? Are the eyes dull and staring? Is there pain in the small of back? Has vour perspiration a bad odor? Have you chills running dowa the back? Do spots appear before y our eyes? Do your feet or hands ever swell? Do you have unpleasaut dreams? Now each and every one of these symp- toms indicates something wrong with the kidneys, and it is by no means necessary that you should feel them all in order to be sure that you have some form of kidney trouble.
