Trying to Induce Its Members to Resolve in Favor of Annexation. DEMOCRATS ARE ANGRY. They Cite the Fact That Representa- | tives at Washington and at Home Oppose the Scheme. Labor Commissioner particularly busy. Ever since he un- dertook the task of annexing Hawali, with its thousands of coolie workmen little above slaves, he has kept himself employed. Yesterday, however, he was sprinting around the corridors of hotels buttonholing gentlemen from interior towns. Having secured a grip and for- cibly borrowed unwilling ears, he poured into them some fervid words. For be it known the Commissioner had been struck by a thought. In his mind he could see his coolies annexed and | flooding the State. The gentlemen he was chasing were members of the Democratic Central Committee. They are to meet next Baturday, and are already drifting in 80 as to be able to enjoy Jubilee week. Fitzgerald has an idea he can induce | them to adopt a resolution indorsing annexation and calling upon Califor- nia’s Democratic members in Congress to vote for it.

Much indignation is expressed | among Democrats over the misdirected | zeal which if not absurdly futile would, | they affirm, tend to put the chosen rep- resentatives of the party in an awk- ward predicament COAKLEY TURNS STATE'S EVIDENCE Accuses Dr. Samuel Hall Having Caused the Death of His Wife. of Charge of Murder Against Him Was Then Dismissed by the Dis- trict Attorney. John Coskley, hushand of Mrs. Ida Coakley, whom, it is alleged, was mur- dered by ,Dr. Samuel H. Hall, turned State’s evidence erday and accused the defendant of having performed the operation that caused the death of his | wife. The confession of Coakley dropped like a thunderbolt on the head of the de- fendant, but he will fight the case to the end. In the proceedings against Dr. Hall last Thursday Coakley was put on the stand, but nothing of importance could be wrung from his lips. When he left the stand the prosecution stated that it had closed its case,@nd in consequence a con- tinuance was granted until yesterday morning. Thursday evening, however, Coakley signified a desire to turn State's evidence, and when the case against Hall was called yesterday morning Assistant District Attorney Hinkle asked the court to permit the reopening of the prosecu- tion that Coakley might be further ex- amined. The defense objected, but Judge Dunne overruled the objection and allowed Coakley to be called to the stand. Coak- ley then nervously walked to the witness- chair and took a seat. The prosecuting attorney questioned him regarding the operation that caused his wife's death. The witness answered that his wife went —_— NEW TO-DAY.

Coakley accompanied her, and he | said that in answer to his question the defendant told him that there would be | no danger in his wife submitting to the operation. Mrs. Coakley, the witness continued, then went into the operating- room and returned in a few minutes, ac- companied by Dr. Hall, who said that she would be well in a few days. In place of recovering, however, Mrs. Coakley be- came worse and died in a few days. Question after question had to be asked the witness to get him to tell all he knew about the commission of the crime, and his demeanor impressed all who listened to his story that he was more interested in his own welfare than in the fate of his | wife. When he left the stand a motion was made by the assistant District At- torney that the charge of murder against Coakley be dismissed. Judge Dunne then ordered the charge against him with- drawn from the calendarand the prisoner discharged. This was done, and the man whose words had opened to him the gates of a prison looked greatly relieved. ‘Whether or not Coakley's evidence will have great weight with the jury remains to be seen. His confession of yesterday was hardly compatible with many state- ments he has made or and off the stand, and it may not have the weight with the twelve men who now hold the fate of Dr. Hall in their hands the prosecution would like. Another weak point is that the wit- ness did not see the operation perf. omoa.‘mm and his knowledge of it as merely hear- say. After Coakley left the stand the de- fense made its opening statement. Dr. ‘Webster of Oakland was then put on the stand as an expert. He testified to the fact that the wound that is sald to have caused Mrs. Coakley’s death might have been administered a week or more prior to her taking off. According to the statement of Coakley on the stand the operation was performed but two days prior to the death of his wife, and the suddenness of her death, in the opinion of the physician, might have been brought about by some constitutional difficulty augmented by the effects of such an ope; ation as it is claimed was performed on Mrs. Coakley. Death in such cases sel- dom results as quickly as Coakley claims, the physician testified, unless some other cause or disease existed. The defense still is confident that the case is not lost, and believes that matters will look much brighter for Dr. Hall when their side of the case is ready for the deliberation of the jury. —_———— Divorce Sult Flled.

The Grand Jury has a case on hand | based on section 2 of the statutes, 1871-2, act 951, which will without doubt cause them an amount of worry even | though the case presented results only In the reprimanding of one individual. For weeks past there has been a dis- turbance in the air and questions have been asked as to what was the trou- ble, but no Information was forthcom- ing. Now it is learned that John G. Maloney, living at 4105 California street, | has preferred charges against County Recorder Glynn, and he bases his charges on the above sections. | For the past few months Maloney has | worked in the Recorder's office and claims that he knows what he is about | and his statement is believed by his | brother workers. Although Maloney was dismissed from the local police force for having bitten off an ear be- | longing to an officer by the name of | Field, his statement is not weakened‘ thereby. At any rate the charges have been sent to the Grand Jury and ac- tion will be taken at the next meet- ing. Mr. Maloney said last evening: 2 4 first preferred charges against the Re- | corder in a written statement to the | Mayor, James D. Phelan, but receiving no satigfactory reply 1 concluded that I would speak'in a place where I would | at least be heard. Accordingly I no- | tified the Grand Jury of many actions of Mr. Glynn, and I think an action will | be taken which will notresult favorably | to the man I believe is guilty of mis- | conduct. | “I went to the Recorder's office | three years ago and have seen many things which have made me suspicious | regarding the honesty of the Recorder. Each month our warrants are put in and many times we have discovered that an amount over what we have called for has been placed before us. After a time we discovered that our warrants had been overdrawn and that the amounts went into the hands of the Recorder. “It was also seen that there were a few pets in the office who received much more than should have been given. For instance, Clark got $54 for four days’ work, as did Harrison $56, Zimmerman $57, and Silvey $57, for four days’ work. I am under the impres- sfon that the employes did not receive the whole amount which they had drawn. I ampositively aware of the fact that the Recorder has signed war- rants which he knew were not correct, and T will give him a chance to prove that T am wrong. “He has also taken money from us, presumably for his own use, by asking us for a donation toward the making of the boulevard. The amount re- ceived would figure up about $400, but we see nothing of it, nor even an ac- knowledgment that we have given the money. When our warrants are raised we get the sum due us and some one who is in the office gets the rest through the broker, Kampe, who is connected with the Grand Jury. I am under the impression that that is one reason why we cannot procure justice in this matter. “Cooney, who is related to the Re- corder, has a finger in the ple, accord- Ing to my information. and I am anx- fous to see where it will all end. The employes gave up about $400 to help fight the election in behalf of Glynn, but after it was declared no contest by | the Supreme Court we never received | a cent of our money. Some interesting | facts will pop at the next meeting of | the Grand Jury, and I believe Glynn is aware of the fact. T base my charges on the code which states that ‘Every of- | ficer of the State or any county, city or township thereln who keeps or re- tains any part or portion of the salary or fee allowed by law to his deputy clerk, or subordinate officer, is guiity of a felony,” and T claim that raising warrants and otherwise keeping what by law belongs to his subordinates is a violation of the code. | PIONEER AND MINER. Sketch of the Successful Career of Isaac L. Requa. Chief among the men who have alded materially In the development of the great mining resources of California none is more conspicuously prominent than Isaac L. Requa. This gentleman has been identified with all the prin- cipal mining companies in the State, and on questions pertaining to this subject he is a recognized authority. Mr. Requa Is a man of great force of character and a shrewd business man, qualities whictt have enabled him to amass a very considerable fortune. Mr. Requa is 65 yeare of age, but he is as active as many men of 30. He arrived in San Francisco in 1850 and at Union Mill and Mining Company of and Savage mines. Hesucceeded insink- to his present home in Oakland. At the present time, besides holding large in- terests in many valuable mining prop- erties, Mr. Requa is president of the Central Pacific Railway and of the Oakland Bank of Savings. He owns one of the handsomest residences Among the builders of this great com- monwealth Mr. Requa holds a high place. . | key.

With the aid of a ‘ | “jimmy” they broke open the bureau- | drawers, taking a miscellaneous assort- | | ment of jewelry and silverware, belong- | ing to the family. The burglars, after | securing the booty, walked downstairs and emerged from the house without | disturbing the occupants. | It was not until Mr. Burke ‘and his | wife returned to their home that they discovered that the house had been en- | tered by burglars. They at once ‘re- ported the burglary to the police, and Sflvey and Byram were detailed to ar- | rest the house-breakers. | Last night the detectives found some of the stolen silverware in a pawnshop on Mission street, where it had beenadi: pgsed of by the burglars. They too it to police headquarters and turned it over to Captain Bohen. From the description given of the men who disposed of the stolen prop- erty the detectives are convinced that they are two ex-convicts, who were re- cently released from San Quentin after serving a short sentence for burglary | committed in this city. | Last evening the description of the burglars was read off to the officers of | both stations with instructions to ar- | rest them if found. They are regarded as desperate characters, and likely to resort to murder if cornered while com- | mitting a crime. | NO WINE FOR THE CRUISER Protest Against the Ceremony of Breaking a Bottie at Launching. Women who Think the Japanese Custom of Freeing Doves Would Be Enough. | If the " California Women's Christian Association has its way, ithe Japanese cruiser Chitose will have no®wine dripping | from its prow when it takes its first Qip | in the waters of the bay this morning. According to Japanese custom, as the wine bottle breaks on the iron front two doves will be released. The ladies think the freeing of the birds will constitute enough ceremony. They would have no wine &pilled, but would desire the office | 77=A M/ e for which Miss Budd has been selected purely honorary. They have formulated a protest, signed on behalf of the union by B. Sturtevant Peet (president), Dorcas J. Spencer (corresponding secretary) and Rose M. French. This has been sent to Irving M. Scott of the Union Iron Works. It is as follows: “The California Women’s Christian Temperance Union, * speaking for thousands of mothers of this State, esteem it an honor to protest against a long-established usage, and would respectfully call your attention to the Japanese custom of freelng a dove as a feature in the ceremony of launch- ing a ship. Wine is dangerous, too, while the dove is a_world-recognized emblem of peace. To free the dove instead of breaking a bottle of wine, as i{s our custom wupon similar occa- sions, would be a happy innovation, and at the same time complimentary to the custom of the nation for whom the ship to be launched January 22, 1898, is constructed.” Letters, with coples of the protest, have been sent to Miss L. Budd, niece 6f the Governor, who is to christen the cruiser; to her mother, and also to Mrs. Irving M. Scott; and it js pointed out that at the christening of the Japanese cruiser Kasagi at the Cramps’ shipbuilding yards recently the breaking of wine was dispensed with. It Is not believed that any change in the original programme will result from this protest, as wine has always been used on similar occasions at the Iron Works without evil effect, so far as noticed. The wine was observed to mingle with such an expanse of water that it was hopeless- ly diluted—the water saline at that. ———— A DESPERATE CHARACTER. William Devine, an Ex-Convict Held for Burglary. ‘Willlam Devine, an ex-convict, was yes- terday held to answer before the Supe- rior Court by Judge Conlan on a charge of burglary in $2000 bonds. He broke into the Webb House on Second street and stole a number of articles. There is an- other charge of burglary against him, to be heard next week. Devine's real name is Tom Desmond, and he is looked upon by the police as a desperate character. About ten years ago he broke into a jewelry store on Market street and a few days later De- tective Bee discovered him In a pawn- shop on Fourth street trying to sell a revolver. Bee placed him under arrest, but he showed flfht, and a desperate struggle followed for possession of the revolver. Desmond got Bee's right thumb between his teeth and bit it to the bone, and Bee carries the mark to this day. Bee finally laid him out and handcuffed him. is ou every wrapper _of CASTORIA. La Crosse.
