STOCKTON PRISONER ACCUSED OF ARSON.| #Jack” Breen Charged With Having | Caused the Farmers’ Union Ware- Pl house Fire. STOCKTON, April 13—The Grand Jury | to-day found an indictment against | “Jack” Breen for arson, charging him | with having set fire to the warehouse of the Farmers' Union in this city on the 4th of last January, when property to the | value of $228,000 was destroyed. Breen is in jail on charges of burglary. A short time ago he was arrested and charged | with having stolen a lot of tools ang va- | rious other articles, which he sold in | Merced. The property was recovered and | part of it has been identified by the own- ers. Several suits have been brought against the Farmers' Union by farmers who lost grain in the fire, and the con- viction of Breen will have an important bearing on that litigation, for the com- plainants in the civil cases expect to prove negligence on the part of the corpo- ration in order to recover their losses.

REDWOOD CITY, April 13.—Judge George H. Buck this iuworning heavd testimony in the case of James Wilett one of the three men implicated in the killing of C. A. Andrews at the Grand Hotel in Baden on the 17th day of last November. An information was filed against him in the Superior Court, charging him with murder, and on Monday he pleaded “guilty.” The court thereupon set to-day as the time for hearing testimony and passing sen- tence. Sheriff J. H. Mansfield and District Attorney H. W. Walker testified to statements and admissions made by de- fendant to them. On Saturday last the District Attorney had an interview with Wilett in the County Jail and at that time the full particulars of the attempted robbery, which resulted in murder, were told by Wilett. About ten days prior to the 17th of November the three men—Wilett, Ray- mond and Winters—planned to rob the Grand Hotel at Baden, run by Mr. Fer- riter. About a week before the mur- der Raymond and Winters went to Ba- den to inspect the premises and learn the pay day of the packing works, a great many employes of which were boarding at Ferriter’'s, On the afternoon of the 17th the three men took the county road leading to Baden and stopped at the old Baden station about a mile from the Grand Hotel. There they separated and Win- ters went directly into the town. Ray- mond and Wilett arrived in town con- siderably later. ~The three met ac- cording to appointment and went to the hotel. Wilett says Raymond was the man who did all the shooting, who fired the shots that killed Andre He was present in the hotel at the time. After the crime he made his escape to a milk ranch near Baden and finally worked his way to Arizona, where he was cap- tured by the officers. In giving his testimony the District Attorney repeatedly turned to the pris- oner and asked, him if what he was saying was true, and always got an affirmative answer. The court found that the defendant was guilty of murder in the first de- gree, but under the circumstances said he would not impose the extreme pen- alty of the law. He pronounced the life sentence. a preference and desired to be con- fined in Folsom Prison, the court made the order accordingly. CANNOT ENFORCE THE LIQUOR LAWS. Gage Reports on the Impossibility of Federal Officers in Alaska to Cope ‘With Public Sentiment. WASHINGTON, April 13.—Responding to a resolution of inquiry in regard to the enforcement of t..e liquor law in Aleska Becretary Gage sent a statement to the Senate, in wnich he says that, notwith- standing the efforts of the department, it is a fact that the law Is openly violated. It has, he says, bcenreported to the de- partment that fo-ty saloons do business in Juneau, a town of less than 4000 in- habitants, while in Sitka, which contains less than 1000 white inhabitants, there are twelve saloons. “The universal puuiic sentiment in the Territory,” says tne Secretary, “is bit- terly opposed to the enforcement of the liquor law, and ..e efforts of the officers are met with intimidation, threats, yio. lence and attempts at bribery.” He ugn an agent of the department who reported this condition was indicted. ‘the Secretary says: “The statement has been made repeat- edly by juaicial officers of the Terricory that no Grand sury in Alaska would jn. dict any person arrested for violating the liguor law." The report closes with the statem. nt that it is impossible to enforce the prese ent lt"' against the existing public senti- ment. WL Buying Oregon Grain.

Warring Forces Harmonized After a Contest Lasting Through the Entire Day. - Speclal Dispatch to The Call. PORTLAND, Or, April 13.—In the Republican Congressional convention, for the Second District of Oregon, at Astoria this evening, Malcome A. Moody of The Dalles was nominated by acclamation for Congréssman. This action was preceded by & settlement of the contest between the delegations from Multnomah County and the ad- mission of the regular delegation. The contest began at 10 o’clock this morn- ing, the very moment of opening, and continued, with several recesses, until 7:30 this evening. In calling the convention to order Chairman Carey did what he could to favor the supporters of Mitchell and Ellis. By his action he split the con- vention in two and for several hours two Republican conventions for the Second "District were in session. Car- ey’s convention consisted of about thir- ty members from the country and the sixty Mitchell delegates from Multno- mah. The regular convention was made up of about fifty country dele- gates and the sixty regular delegates from Multnomah. The first was nom- inally in session from 10 to 1, and ad- journed until Friday mornizs at 10. The second, immediately after tempo- rary organization, appointed a commit- tee on credentials and took a recess un- til 2 o’clock. ' C. W. Fuiton of Astoria undertock and successfully carried out a plan to harmonize the party in this district and after numerous conferences brought the Mitchell faction into the regular con- vention. There, shortly after 7 o'clock, all the delegates outside of Multnomah County decided by a vote of 48 to 82 that a compromise was inadvisable and subsequently by a vote of 47 to 33 ad- mitted the regular Republicans to seats in the convention. It was now evident that Ellis would have no chance for the nomination against Moody so his name was not presented to the convention a;:d Moody was nominated by acclama- tion. At a caucus of all the del:gates out- side of Multnomah at the’ convention hall to-night it was informally declared that the election for temporary chair- man to-morrow shall be by ballot and that balloting shall not begin until there shall have been ample time for nominations. M. L. Chamberlin of Marion presided and J. B. Eddy of Douglas wa. elected secretary. The impression prevails that the Multnomah case will not be reopened in the State convention, t ugh thig is by no means certain. The temper of the delegates may undergo a change be- tween now and morning. However, it is believed that there is a majority in the First District as well as in the Second in f .vor of seating the regular delegation from Multnomah. The pre- vailing temper of the convention seems to be in favor of taking decisive action now and thus ending the practice of sending double delegations from Mult- nomah. FAST DOGS WILL COMPETE.

The Bonds of Sidney Kellett, the No- torious Young Scamp, Declared Forfeited. Sidpey Kellett having failed to appear in Judge Low’s court yesterday the judga declared ‘his bonds forfeited and dssued a bench warrant for his arrest. The Su- perior Court had affirmed the judgment on appeal. Sidney was arrested some months aga on charges of carrying a concealed weap- on and haying burglars’ tools in his poss« session. He was convicted on both charges and sentenced to six months in the County Jail on each. He appealed and his bonds were fixed at $500 on each charge. He was released on bonds ac~ cepted by Judge Campbell, which led ta the fight between Campbell and Low as to whether a judge other than the com- mitting magistrate had the right to ac- cept bonds on appeal, and Campbell won before Judge Cook. Then the matter wad taken to the Supreme Court to test thq constitutionality of Police Court 4, but the case was dropped, as Low recognized Campbell’s order of discharge. Sidney has now fled from the city and left his bondsmen to face the music. They are George P. O'Neill and Mark Senna, and it is a question with Bond Inspector Newman whether they are competent ta stand the amount of $500 each. Sidney is a bad young man. He was the promoter of the scheme to assault and rob old man Isadore Goulet on Gold. en Gate avenue, and had the extra- ordinary gocd fortune tot escape punishs ment in the Superior Court. —_———— A Rabbi Prays for Peace. Rabbl Isldore Meyers offered a ferveng§ prayer during services yesterday morne ing at the Bush-street synagogue, which brought tears to the eyes of many of his auditors. The tenor of his pathetic words was for peace and good will and in dis- couragement of war to be settled by sword or gunpowder. He hoped that Congress would follow the wise course of the President, In whom the public had 80 much trust and confidence. At the end of his eloquent plea many in the large assemblage congratulated the rabbi. Dr. Meyers dilivered a powerful sermon before a very large congregation on “Israel's Answer to Jews and Gentiles.” ——— You weak? If so, why? You know . that when you were born you were fairly treated by Dame Nature. Then why are you puny to- day? There may be a se- cret about this, but you may be certain that you are not the only weakiing in the world. Thousands of others keep you company. You have been drawing too freely on the bank account which nature placed on deposit for ou. If you have been fool- ish it is now time to become wise. Be sure the solution of the difficulty is in your own hands. Alone you cannot be as strong, as big and as vigorous as you once were, but you can with the aid of that great remedio-treat- ment, “Hudyan.” No other thing will make your blood tingle in your veins as it did in the days of your youth and manliness. But this “Hudyan” will do. It has done it for 20,000 people. Why should it fail with you ? It will not. It cannot fail. SRR “Done up. That is what you think you are. But if you can find vigorous life again ; if you can become a whole man once more why not do it? You enjoy no single one of the great pleasures of life to-day to the extent you should. If you want to learn how many men have been made whole men by “Hudyan” write and ask for free circulars and testimonials telling you all about it. Ask for advice on any question if you are weak. It is all free. Copper-colored spots, teeth loose, and all the other signs of blood taint must be attended to. Ask for free “thirty- day blood cure” circulars. That rem- edy disposes of all blood taint quickly and surely. It makes no difference what the stage of the disease may be. No charge whatever for all the infor- mation you may want.
