The effectiveness of party discipline thus far has demon- strated that no such bolt as that could occur unless it had the sympathy of the Speaker. Without such sympathy it would be impossible to get enough Re- publicans to follow so radical a course. That Speaker Reed would promote or abet such a move is not believed. His power as Speaker, present and past, has depended upon a demand upon Republi- cans that they stand together as a party in obedience to the will of the ma- jority, and that none should join the Democrats in anything to overthrow the will of the party majority. But recently | the Republicans were held thus to a policy with respect to Cuba which was distasteful to many. By the same in- fluence the party lines were held together ngainst the Teller resolution. To suppose for an instant that Speaker Reed would himself lead a revolt against the control of his party majority in the House in order to prevent the annexationof Hawail ! is to credit him with a desire to destroy his own source of power.

Hill Admits the Killing, but on the Advice of His Attorneys Will Say No More. Specfal Dispatch to The Call. VENTURA, Feb. 9.—Robert Lee Hill | was arrested at 10 o'clock this morn- | ing by Constable John Graham and confined in the County Jail here on a charge of murder for clubbing to death Theodore R. Parvin. The tragedy occurred about six miles from Saticoy, on Hill’'s ranch, which had been leased by Parvin for the next two years. Trouble had been brewing over this lease for some time. After leasing the ranch Hill repented of his bargain and sought to turn Parvin off, but the latter declined to be ousted. | About noon yesterday Hill went to work mending a corral. A parley took place between the men in regard to the lease, and, according to the dying man's statement to his wife, Hill came there to buy the lease. | Parvin wanted §$: and Hill offered $100. Upon his refusing this offer Hill struck him with a club. When Hill was seen to-day, he said he regretted the deed, as he had noth- ing against the man. He further ad- mitted that he struck Parvin on the head with a split scantling, two by four inches, and about three feet long, but claimed that Parvin attacked him first with a saw and hammer. He showed a scratch on his right w which he claimed was done by Par striking him with the saw, and also claimed that he was struck on the left hand with the hammer. He says his elf-defense. en again to-night and said advised by his attorneys to He realized, he said, that public opinion was against him.

It | was a matter of self-preservation with me, and you know how a man feels under these circumstances.” When asked what provocation caused him to deal Parvin the deadly blow, he flatly declined to answer. Hill has been in a very nervous con- dition since the visit from his wife to- day, and begged to be allowed the free- dom of the corridor for more room to walk. His cell is one of the largest in say nothing. Sheriff decided enough for him. | _The tragic scene was witnessed by | Hill's father and partly by Mrs. Par- | vin and a young boy. Hill would have | continued dealing out blows to his vie- tim, but was stopped by his father. Hill and his father departed immedi- ately, leaving his opponent lying on the ground. Parvin afterward seated himself upon a plow near by, where | he remained for a short time, and was | then taken to the house, where he died at 2 o'clock this morning. He was struck over the right temple, and the little finger on his left hand was also broken by the same blow, which he tried to ward off with his arm. Hill is a tall and powerful man. He is married and has two children, a girl and a boy. He is 36 vears old and has been a resident of this county for the | past fifteen years. Parvin was not so large a man. He leaves a wife and little son. He was 32 years old. that it was roomy A GIRL'S WILD CRIES FOR HELP Fresno Startled by a Thrilling Episode That Savors of Kidnaping. Futile Pursuit in the Night of a Mysterious Couple in a Buggy. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. | FRESNO, Feb. 9.—At about 7:30 o'clock | last evening the loud screams of a girl | calling for help attracted the attention of Colonel 8. S. Wright, who was in his yard at the corner of I and Calaveras streets. Upon running out he ascertained that the screams came from a girl in a buggy, who was being rapidly driven away by a man, who was struggling with her in an effort to suppress her cries for assistance. He tried to muffle her voice, and was hitting her with the butt end of his whip to sllence her screams. A citi- zen made an effort to stop the horse, but | the driver whipped up and almost ran | over the man who went to the girl's as- sistance. The fellow drove north at a rapid_gait, pursued by several citizens and Policeman Morss. The driver out- stripped them, however, and disappeared. As it was dark at the time the parties could not be récognized. The girl was asked to call out the name of the man, and she attempted to, but he put hishand over her mouth and beat her with the whip. She managed to utter a name, but the sound could not be recognized dis- tinctly, although the officer believes he has a clew from it. The case Is believed to be one of kidnaping, and sensational developments are expected. — e O Death of a Tehama Supervisor. RED BLUFF, Cal., Feb. 9.—Willlam H.

These fifteen were followed by two more this after- noon, who left their plows and the of- ficer in charge in the fleld and struck out across lots on the run.

Since January 1, when D. S. Hirsch- berg took charge as superintendent, the cadets have shown their apprecia- tion of kind treatment and no attempts to escape have been made, and it seems that the boys who skipped out to-day were promised a parole or a discharge by the former superintendent. Mr. Hirshberg, however, has refused to make any recommendations to the Board of Trustees on the ground that he desired to make no mistakes in his recommendation and desired to become thoroughly and personally acquainted with all the cadets desiring release from the school. The present management has the support of the community, and all good citizens will assist in every way to maintain discipline and return the es- caping cadets. LUETGERT CONVICTED OF WIFE-MURDER.

It retired at 4:45 o'clock and took the first ballot at 5:10. It was unanimous for convic- tion. Some little time was consumed in arriving at the punishment to be inflicted, but this was settled by 8:30, and then the jurors sat around in their room until 10 :é"clock. when they announced their ver- ct.
