Unpunished Crime Which Slayers | of Uber Regarded as a Prece- dent in Their Favor. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. CARSON, Feb. 6.—Judge Mack has charged the Douglas Grand Jury to | make an investigation of the Sarmann murder, which has been ignored by the grand juries of the county since its oc- currence on May 8, 1895. At that time Mrs. William Sarmann, a woman 68 vears old, was brutally killed in her house, being hacked to pieces with an | ax. The killing was at first charged to a tramp, and then suspicion fell upon the husband, but nothing could be| proved, as no motive could be ascribed. | The people were supposed to be poor, | and the woman'’s husband, when exam- | ined, swore that she had no msumnce‘l on her life. It has since bgen discovered that she had considerable hoarded gold, and it is claimed that he has collected a large insurance on her life. He made state- ments regarding the finding of the body which, it is claimed, were false. His | [ statement that he first found the body | at 4 o'clock is contradicted by witnesses | who saw him hitching a horse before | that time. The lynchers of Uber have justified thelr action by claiming that crime goes unpunished in Douglas, and they have all along pointed to the Sarmann mur- der as an example. The court is now | pushing the investigation of the case | and it is rumored that other homicides | in Douglas will be called up. WANTED FOR DEFRAUDING A PORTERVILLE DOCTOR. Contractor Obtains a Check for a Thousand Dollars and Flees After Cashing It. VISALIA, Feb. 6.—Some time last sum- mer Alexander Farmer, a carpenter and | contractor, arrived here from Shreve- | port, Louisiana. He procured several jobs and a short time ago was given the contract to put up a two-story brick building in Porterville for Dr. Chapman of that town. Over a week ago Farmer persuaded Dr. Chapman to give him a check on the bank for $1000, as the first partial payment on the new building, al- though the architect had not recommend- ed such payment. Farmer cashed the mon Then he bought a ticket for San Francisco and has not been seen since. He went away without paying the builders for their labor, or the stores for thelr supplies. As a blind to his creditors, Farmer purchased tin roofing for the building af-*| ter he reached San Francisco, giving as payment a check on the Porterville bank, which_was not honored. It is thought that Farmer has either gone to Klon- dike or returned to Louisiana. Farmer's bondsmen refuse to make good the deficiency, because the money was paid without the consent of the archi- specified in the contract. THE mail or telegraph an on approval free of expense.

Exiles Hastening Homeward to Assist in Unseating Zelaya. Conservatives Effect a Fusion With the Disgruntled Faction of the Liberals. Copyrighted 1898 by James Gordon Bennett. SAN JUAN DEL SUR, Nicaragua, Feb. 6.—Nicaragua’s latest revolution is one of Conservatives against Lib- erals. The movement has spread rap- idly, and in Riuas, on Lake Nicaragua, there is a belief that there will soon be fighting there. San Juan del Sur is now held by the rebels. Dr. Adam Cardenas, who was presi- dent of Nicaragua in 1884, s at the head of the present movement. He has pre- pared a proclamation to conservatives, and those conservatives who have been {in exile since their faflure in Septem- ber are arriving from Costa Rica in large numbers. In the meantime, I have received advices from Riuas to the effect that President Zelaya is rushing troops to San Juan del Sur and to the Costa Rica border. This last move is | to check exiles, who are returning to Nicaragua. Every avallable fighting man in this district is being pressed into service by the Government, and strong garrisons of regulars and recruits are being placed in all cities. Wires have been cut in all directions by the revolutionists, and communication between cities is very difficult. Patrols have been established in the principal roads, in order to pre- vent communication. PANAMA, Feb. 6.—I have seen a let- | ter dated San Jose, a week ago, stat- ing that there would soon be a revo- lution in Nicaragua, and asserting that Costa Rica is backing the movement. Nicaraguan exiles in this city are jubi- lant at the outbreak, and predict that President Zelaya, although successful | in crushing, in his four years of office, many revolutions, will have to fall now. This movement is the result of a fusion of the Conservative party with the dis- sident Liberal wing. I learned from the revolutionary junta here that Dr. Adan Cardenas, who was president of Nicaragua from 1883 to 1887, is at the head of a band which invaded San Juan del Sur from the Costa Rican frontier. The junta refuses at present to disclose its plans, but says the rebels are well supplied with arms and money. Mem- bers of the junta will probably leave here for Salvador on February 10. Events continue favorable to the cause of the rebels. A large number of Nica- raguan exiles in Salvador are ready to join the revolution. Honduras, in re- turn for Nicaragua's aid in putting down the Puerto Cortez rising, headed by Enrique Soto recently, will support President Zelaya, but is not expected to receive any comfort from Salvador. NEW YORK, Feb. 6.—A Washington special to the Herald says: Other than to take measures to protect the Nica- raguan Canal Commission from injury, the administration will not'interfere in any way in the revolution in Nica- ragua. The gunboat Newport, which conveyed the commission to Greytown, is still at that port, and the cruiser Alert is at San Juan del Sur, making a survey of Brito harbor. If necessary for the protection of members of the commission, the commanding officers of these gunboats will probably land ma- rines, just as is done in cases where American property interests are en- dangered. The authorities desire that the commission shall complete its work as rapidly as possible, and if a request for protection should come from Rear Admiral Walker they will undoubtedly direct the landing of forces by both the Newport and Alert.

PINDOS TRSTESS, o= 0PPOSED TO THIEVERY Takes Up the Fight for the People of Los Angeles. Rev. Mr. Bliss Strikes at the Water Company Ring. Immense Crowds Hear Him Deal With the City’s Despoilers. MONOPOLY ORGAN SCORED Takes the Express to Task for De- claring That BO Cents a Day Is & Fair Wage. Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, Feb. 6.—The church people of this community, under the leadership and direction of Rev. W. D. P. Bliss, the Episcopal divine, who is propagating and advancing the doc- trine of Christian soclalism, are be- coming enlisted in the water fight, and aligning themselves with these who are endeavoring to bring about municipal control of the distributing plant. This fact has been recognized by the water company press of this city, for it has utterly failed to give the lectures of | Rev. Mr. Bliss, held in various churches | in this city, any attention or notice. | Nevertheless, the crowds that gather to There was not even Upon the platform from pit to dome. standing room left. Jewish, Catholic and Among the number were Bishop George Montgomery of the diocese of Monterey | and Los Angeles, Bishop Johnson of the tors. Every reference Rev. Mr. Bliss made to the water question, in which he sup- company press—the Evening Express— also received attention at the hands of Mr. Bliss. Some time ago the Express had a difficulty with the newsboys, | upon whom it endeavored to force a | purchase price of 3 cents a copy for the paper. To people who called at office to purchase the sheet, the Ex- | press charged only 2 cents a copy. The newsboys formed a union, and refused to sell the paper as long as they were | unjustly discriminated against. For eleven days no copies were sold. the meantime, the Express advertised { 1n all the syndicated dailies for men to sell the paper for two hours and a half each evening, they to receive 50 cents for their service, no matter how many papers they sold. Only two men came around, and when they heard what was desired of them gthey refused to accept employment. Then the Express came out, and editorially stated that the men in Los Angeles out of work were a lazy lot and deserving of no considera- tion. It said that it had offered men 50 | cents a day for work, and that it cculd engage no men. The editorial added | that 50 cents a day was all a man | needed to live on, and argued that there must be no men out of employment. | Rev. Mr. Bliss in his lecture referred | to these facts and said that he was grieved and surprised to know that | there was such a daily newspaper as | the Express in this community—a paper | that actually argued that 50 cents a day | | was enough for a laboring man, for the | | reason that it was all that he required to gain him enough to keep body and | soul together. Mr. Bliss went on to | condemn the proposition advanced by | many that as long as the workingman | received enough to procure for him and | his family a bare livelihood, he should be satisfied. The lecturer's remarks | with regard to the Express called forth | vigorous applause. In the City Council to-morrow Coun- | cilman Hutchison will again introduce | the resolution he introduced at the last | meeting to give legal notification to.the | water company that the city will expect it to make no further improvements to the municipal plant from now on to the expiration of the lease, beyond those absolutely essential for continued oper- ation of the system. The water com- pany is making a large number of im- provements to the plant, which are not in accord with the plans of the city’s engineering department for the new and enlarged system when it passes un- der municipal control. It will expect the city to pay for these improvements, | and, in many cases, they will be of no value. The citizens in mass-meeting asked the Council to take the action outlined in Hutchison’s resolution. At the last meeting the Council arrogantly refused to act. At the session to-morrow the body will be given another opportunity to show its independence of water com- pany control by complying with a re- quest of the people.

Nevertheless the prevailing view is that explanations cannot be made which will be satisfactory. So much was expected from General Blanco’s contiuous trip around the is- land and so little has come from {t that the disappointment felt cannot be con- cealed. General Pando apparently thinks he may be selected for the role of scape- goat. The Weylerites are watching their chances and General Seguro has returned to the peninsula ready to con- demn Pando’s plan of military opera- tions in the eastern part of the island. Pando’s talk to his friends in the con- fidence of friendship is full of despair. The knowledge that he may have to serve as a scapegoat s the possible cause of this. Instead of talking of peace by the end of the month he talks of the long-expected crisis before that time. LONDON, Feb. 7.—The Madrid cor- respondent of the Standard says: Senor Sagasta's response to the official note presented yesterday (Saturday) by General Woodford, the United States peditions and declares that Spain can- not entertain the suggestion for fixing a date for her completion of the paci- fication of Cuba. SENOR GALVEZ NOW CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS President of the Autonomist Cabinet Says Peace Will Come in Cuba Through Arms and Politics. HAVANA, Feb. 6.—Senor Jose Maria Galvez, president of the autonomist Cabinet, says there is no disagreement among its members, nor .anything in the nature of a crisis. On the contrary, all the ministers understand their pro- gramme and mission, which he sums up as “to establish the new regime, to prepare for the elections and to consti- tute a chamber of deputies.” Under no conditicns, declares Senor Galvez, is it the mission of members of the Cabinet to address the insur- gents officially, or to negotiate forpeace unless they should have a guarantee as to the outcome of their efforts. Nev- ertheless, the members of the Cabinet, in their unofficial capacity, will do all in their power to smooth the pathway, and will contribute to all private ef- forts to bring about a favorable issue. Senor Galvez says the Cabinet is ex- pecting favorable news from the prov- ince of Santa Clara and assurances that General Maximo Gomez retired across the trccha into the Camaguey district, owing to lack of support and to “the conflicting opinions that distract the in- surgents in Eastern Cuba.” Peace will come, he declared, by the ‘“combined action of arms and politics,” but it is absolutely necessary to demonstrate the efficiency of Spanish arms at the same time that the beneficial influ- ences of the new regime are being made known. The French cruiser Dubordieu ar- rived here to-day. EXPERT WADHAM SCORED BY EX-SECRETARY BERNARD Trustees of the Preston School Told That His Report Was Grossly Unfair. IONE, Feb. 6.—At a regular meeting of the trustees of the Preston School of Industry last night ex-Secretary Hy R. Bernard, whom Expert Wadham *“roast- ed” in his report to the trustees some time ago, submitted ‘a written report to the board in which he in turn “roasted” ‘Wadham. Bernard claims that Wad- ham’s report is unfair and full of spite. The trustees decided, after considerable discussion, to postpone final action until their next regular meeting. Superintendent Hirschberg made a re- port of his trip East, and asked the trus- tees to favorably consider the idea of building one cottage at the earliest op- portunity. The trustees decided to meet at the Grand Hotel in San Francisco on the 19th inst. to consider and adopt a lan for a.cottage. It was also decided ?o ut in a compressed air alarm system, to ge used in arousing the neo?le of this vicinity when boys escape. This, in con- . financial condition of the church. junction with a standing reward for the capture and return of escapes, it is ex- pected will result in the quick return of the discontented lads. st SEN G The Gladstones at Church.

TRUSTEES HAVE NOW RETIRED The Financiers of Dr. Hall’s Church Resign. The Congregation Sur- prised by the Sudden Action. The Sensational Announcement Made During the Morn- ing Services. THE OUTCOME IN DOUBT. There 1s Much Sympathy for the Pastor, but the Factions May Not Be United. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Feb. 6.—The trustees of the Fifth - avenue Presbyterian Church have resigned. Announcement to that effect was made from the pul- pit by the Rev. Dr. John Hall this morning, and the members of the con- gregation were notified to meet at the church Monday afternoon, February 14, and choose new trustees. The church was crowded, and prior to the giving out of the text of his ser- mon, Dr. Hall made the announcement. Dr. Hall read the notice in a sad tone of voice, but he made no comment on the matter, though it attracted atten- tion among the pew-hotders, whobegan | whispering to one another, but desisted when he began his sermon. After the morning services, Dr. Hall h‘eld a short s:ssion with many of his warm supporters in the congregation, and afterwar” there were many con- ferences in the vestryroom and the pastor’s private room. The congrega- tion is bound to stand by Dr. Hall no matter what may be done by the ses- sion next Thursday evening, and to- day they were giving him the warmest assurances of their support and as- sistance. The members of the congre- gation were loth to discuss the sig- nificance of the trustees’ action, but it was admitted by Robert Bonner, J. H. Work and many others that it was the direct outcome of the differences of the factions in the church. The trustees are the financial gover- nors of the church. They are also the financial backers of the church. They not only represent in themselves finan- cial support, but also represent the Mc- Cooks, the Maitlands and the Sloanes, who are supposed to be opposed to the continuance of Dr. Hall in the pasto- rate. The resignation of the trustees, following close the stand taken by the congregation last Monday night, is expected to be followed next Thursday by the withdrawal from the session of many influential and wealthv mem- TS, Robert Bonner, a warm advocate of Dr. Hall, said to-day the resignation of Dr. Hall had not been prompted by the Mr. Bonner asserted that the dissatisfac- tion with Dr. Hall by members of the session commenced with the Warsza- wiak incident last summer. Had that not occurred, there would never have been, Mr. Bonner believes, the slightest opposition to Dr. Hall. Herman Wars- zawiak had charge of one of the churches. Charges of misconduct were made against him, and he was found gutlty by the session and dismissed from the church. “Dr. Hall’'s sympathy was with Wars- zawiak, and he stood by him a little too long,” continued Mr. Bonner. At the time I said that either Warszawiak was guilty and should be dismissed from the church, or John E. Parsons was guilty of a great libel on him.” This incident, Mr. Bonner thought, tended to make a breach between those who thought Warszawiak should be dismissed and Dr. Hall. The dramatic incident in the Fifth-ayenue Presbyte- rian Church last summer, when Dr. Hall announced the decision of the ses- sion, in the case of Warszawiak, helped to widen the breach so far as Dr. Hall's position was concerned. congregation, however, as a whole, was | not affected by the incident, the mani- | festation of sympathy by Dr. Hall only serving to endear him the more to them. Mr. Bonner said, however, that prior to the Warszawiak incident and long before the charges were preferred against the man, Dr. Hall announced to him that it was his intention to re- sign the pastorate of the church at the completion of the thirty years of la- bor. Dr. Hall made no reference in his sermon to the affairs of the church. Nansen Pleased With His Visit. LONDON, Feb. 6.—Dr. Fridtjof Nansen, the Arctic explorer, who has arrived here from the United States, is quoted as say- ing in the course of an interview that he was greatly pleased by his visit to Amer- ica, where he met with every courtesy and was almost killed with kindness of a social nature; so much so, indeed, that he was glad of the rest afforded by the Atlantic passage.
