4 THE SAN FRANCIS’CO CALL, SUNDAY, JULY 24 189 AGNEWS ASYLUM INQUIRY NE Governor Budd TO BEGIN XT TUESDAY Fixes a Date at the Request of the Hospital Management. There is to be an official investigation of the Agnews scandals. Governor Budd is indig: over the fact that the concluding days of his administra- tion should be besmirched by the un- | savory m in that institution, and he has deter- mined that he will thoroughly fumigate and purify its moral atmosphere. There w a meeting of some of the members of the State Lunacy Commis- | sion yesterday in the office of the At- torney General, at which there were nt, beside the Governor, Secre- tary Carrere, Dr. Matthews of the Board of Health, Dr. Hatch (Superin- tendent of State Hospitals) and Isaac Upham (trustee and manager of the Agnews Asylum). The meeting was not open to, the public, but from the tones of the kers, as heard now and again, it not lacking in animation, es- ially on the part of the Governor, S oice indicated that he was not pleased. The gathering was brought to an end by the action of Isaac Up- ham, who pr nted the following re- quest, which was granted by a unani- mous vote: ‘Gentlemen: As a manager of the Agnews State Hospital 1 hereby re- quest that the Commission of Lunacy investigate at its earliest convenience the general management and adminis- tration of said hospital.” The. Governor set next Tuesday at 11 o'clock as the time for the investiga- tion to begin. The inquiry will be held at the a tary w e of th and to issue lum at Agnews. The secre- directed to inform Dr. Spon- ction of the commission bpenas for witnesses. ATTACHES COACHED BY THE ASYLUM RING SAN JOSE, July secrets sion, made a flying John F. Carrere, of the State Lunacy Commis- trip to San Jose this afternoon and served notice upon Trustees Hale and Curnow and Dr. Sponogle tc be present at the investi- gation to be held at Agnews Asylum next Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock. The notices ved request the mem- bers to be present at an investigation of the general management and admin- istration of the hospital and to have such witnesses present as they may desire to appear before the commis- sicn. Carypere enough was in San Jose just long ugh to see Hale and Curnow and then drove to Agnews to serve Spon- ogle, where he caught a train for San Francisco. Trustee Frank H. Gould arrived at Agnews Asylum this eve For the past couple of days the emplc t the institution have been preparing for an investigation, and Gould's presence was needed to give them the final pol- ishing off before the fateful day. Meet- ings ha been held by the employes and there has been an attempt to get them solidly back of Sponogle and the administration. Those who desired to remain neutral were greatly excited te- day, for if they failed to come out boidly for those in charge they would be regarded as enemies of Gould. To- morrow and the next day, it is said, the asylum es will be given a private examination to find just what xisting affairs. The investigation the Lunacy Commission promises to be more searching than the public expects and - session will probably last the bal- of the week. Gould will be at ylum up to the time of the in- vestigation. To-morrow Trustees: Hale, Curnow and Gould and Dr. Sponogle will hold an extended conference. will outline their plans for the investiga- tion. The leaders of the attendants will be given their orders and when the investigation opens everything will be well greased and in working order. Trustee Gould refused to talk to- night on the forthcoming investiga- tion. He said he had nothing to say for The Call, and with an oath brought the interview to a close. Chairman Curnow of the Agnews managers in speaking of the investiga- tion to-night said: “I have been summoned to an invest- igation on Tuesday morning, and as far as 1 am concerned I want the whole af- fair investigated. If there is anybody there whose morals are not of the best I want him dism I am inclined to think the investigation should be by the Agnews board of managers, but a therough investigation by either body will be satisfactory. The investigation should be strictly impartial and ‘thor- ough. I have no pets there and do not fear any truth that will be brought out. As long as I have the honor of being a manager 1 shall do my utmost to see that affairs are faithfully and honestly administered. I think the investigation will cover the whole institution, as well as the statements made against Dr. Sponcgle, Mr. Tourtiliott, Mrs. Madigan and anybody else concerning whom there is any suspicion of immoral char- acter and develiction of duty.” Trustee Hale said he had discussed the matter with Trustee Upham in S8an Francisco last Tuesday and they de- cided to bring it before the Stat. Lun- acy Commission. Both agreed to join in a letter asking for an investigation. He had expected to sit as judge in the case at first, but now he may be one of the witnesses. Under ordinary circum- stances, he said, he would have liked to try the case, but with White and Up- ham probably disqualified he was pleased with the arrangement by which the State Lunacy Commission would hold the investigation. The charges against Tourtillott and Mrs. Madigan are the only formal ones before the local board, but other matters may be taken up. As to Dr. Sponogle being illegally in office, Mr. Hale said the doctor had never laid claim to having had three years’ experience in asylums, as the law required. Dr. Sponogle was ap- pointed first assistant under Dr. Hatch and when the latter accepted a place on the State board Sponogle succeeded as medical director. Mr. Hale said: “ I desire the fullest, freest and frankest investigation of the affairs of the institution of which I am a man- ager. I realize some statements have been made detrimental to the general welfare of the institution and I would like very much to have such investiga- tion as will prove the truth or falsity of the charges. We enjoyed a reputa- tion some two years ago of having the best-managed asylum in the State of California and received this compli- ment from the Chief Executive of the State. I believe a majority of the managers are anxious to see the insti- tution restored to its former prestige. This can be accomplished only by weeding out all undesirable and in- that has been uncovered | | efficient employes, ifathere are any | whose names decorate the lum payroll. The selection of cap- | able and efficient employes for the va- rious positions should be considered | paramount. It may be true some man- agers have been mistaken in the per- sons recommended. Such errors may have resulted in bringing about exist- ing conditions at Agnews, and if such there be they will be corrected in the | future. W ONVILLE, July 23.—Edward ‘White, one of the Agnews State Hospi- tal directors, stated that the action which Mr. Upham has taken in regard to the matter is entirely agreeable to him. He thinks that the lunacy com- mission, being entirely disinterested, is the proper tribunal to investigate the affairs of the asylum.

In fact, he became a familiar figure about the newspaper offices here. He was in the habit of calling daily at the office of the Courler-Journal for a lican. After his arrest Warner admitted everything, stating that he had taken from the Hampshire 240,000, and from the Hampshire Sav- ings Bank, of which he was treasurer, fully $400,000. The money he lost in various speculations and unsuccessful business ventures. ables consisted of $7 in silver and a gold ring. The local police will receive a re- ward of $1000. SAN QUENTIN'S RECORD FOR A FISCAL YEAR SAN QUENTIN, July 23.—At the monthly sion of the State Board of Prison Directors to-day Warden Hale submitted his annual report for the fis- cal year ending June 30, 1898. It shows the net cost per capita of maintaining the prisoners to have been $3 06, a slight increase over the cost of last year, owing to the advanced cost of supplies. The prison physician reports thirty-seven deaths during the year, of which five were executions and one a suicide. The chaplain has issued an average of 2778 volumes a month from the library. In his report the Warden commends the religious ministrations of Rev. Father Lagan of San Rafael, the Vol- unteers of America and the Salvation Army. Twenty-five prisoners have made ap- plication for parole and sixteen of the applications have been granted. The terms of fifteen paroled prisoners have expired and one violated the conditions of the parole law and was returned. Four paroled prisoners failed to report and it has been learned that three of them have joined the United States army and gone to Manila. The fourth is yet unheard of. The reports of the bee;x working steadily and are doing well. The output of the jute mills for the past year has been between 14,000 and 15,000 bags a day. The product for the month of June exceeded the output for the same month for the last five years, being 4237 cuts of grain bagging, mak- ing an average of 162.81 cuts®for each of the twenty-six working days. The number of grainbags on hand is 2,532,- 000. There have been sold since Janu- ary 1, 1838, 1,677,451 bags. There is sufficient raw jute in the warehouse to run the mill until May 5, 1899, * L. Wadham, the expert accountant for the board, reports the total amount of money blonging t6 the pris- oners to be $3833 63. The cash on hand belonging to the State is $26,574 25. The aavilable funds at the openihg of the fiftieth fiscal year are $104,044 75, Five Bicycle Records Fall.

Officials Pledged to Municipal Own- ership Have Made No Move to Carry Out Their Promises. Special Dispatch to The Call. STOCKTON, July 23.—The time when the long suffering city of Stockton will own its own waterworks is drawing near. Public sentiment is ripe for a decisive move in that direction, and ali that impedes the carrying out of the wishes of the public is a vacillating City Council. So strong are the people’s de- mands, that it is hard to see how the Council can longer delay granting re- lief. It may be said without exaggera- tion that there is no open champion- ship of the Stockton Water Company. The only influence at work to coun- teract the wave of public sentiment is that which is created by the few pe- culiarly interested in seeing the present company continue its grip on the con- sumers, An actual nécessity exists for the city taking charge of its water supply. This arises from two causes, the most press- ing of which is the inability and in- disposition of the company to supply the city with even a reasonably limited quantity of wat®r. The second is that no matter what kind of a schedule of water rates is fixed by the Council, the compi y always manipulates it so as to charge an exorbitant rate for a mis- erable service. For weeks the pressure has been so weak on the pipes that water could be drawn from a faucet in a second story. Worse than this, there | are hours at a time when it seems like an effort for a faucet on a ground floor to give a bucket of water. For some time the public was misled by statements from the company to the effect that repalrs were being made, but now the time has long since passed when the company promised better things. The source of supply is artesian wells at the east of the city, and the quality seems to be as woefully lacking as the quantity. The water is simply becom- ing undrinkable. As the company has made no effort to increase the supply by sinking addi- tional wells, it is hardly it would endanger its large dividends by establishing a new plant with a view of improving the quality of the water. Assessor Ortman has found it very difficult to get any facts concerning the profits of the company, but enough is known to show that the dividends must be enormous. It is conservatively es- from Northampton at the time of War- | timated that the entire plant could be | Per River. | duplicated for $175,000.

But when | it comes to making assessment the bonds should be deducted from the | value, which leaves a very insignifi- cant amount for the Tax Collector to handle. A very just estimate of what consumers are paying may be arrived at by a comparison of the local sche- dule and that of Oakland. It will show | that for this miserably inadequate ser- |on an average 75 per cent more than | the Oaklanders.

The municipal platform of the Re- publicans, upon which they elected the Council, pledged the party to municipal ownership. The city has the option of taking charge of its own mains and compensating the company for such as it has put in. The present city government has been in power a year and no move has been made. The lccal press is without exception favor- able to giving the people charge of this | most necessary service.

One hundred and fourteen passengers from the Yukon country had treasure, either in gold or drafts, that at the lowest estimate is placed at $300,000, while many believe the amount to be $500,000. The larger portion of the treasure was held by a few old-time Yukoners. The majority of the passengers had scarce- ly more than $1000 each. Among the rich men were the following: E. Alyward, Puget Sound. Jack Brothers, Ottawa. N. Adams, Portland G. H. Church, Juneau. H. N. Jacobson, Sacra R. B. Taylor, Wheaton, Ill C. B. Elliott, Chicago William Buckingham, P. H. Young, Winnipeg. Lewis Hinger, Whatcon A. B. McDonald. stocheste The Garonne left St. Michael on July 12, just previous to the arrival of the Seattle No. 1 from Dawson. She had 160 passengers with $500,000 in gold and drafts. The steamer Leelanaw had ar- rived with two barges and two river steamers. The Alliance was expected -to leave St. Michael for Seattle on July 18 with two-thirds of the river passengers brought down on the Seattle No. 1. The Yukon was still getting lower, and many believed the low water record would be broken this year. The river steamers John C. Barr and Rock Island No. 1 left for Dawson on the 9th and 11th, respectively, laden with passengers. It was thought that the Reck Island drew too much water to get over the bar. She had the pas- sengers of the Garonne. It is reported that the esteamer Charles Nelson had trouble with her passengers. Some of them had been landed and were living in boats on the beach. Others refused to leave the ship, as the company’'s river steamers | had not arrived. The Nelson was oth- erwige ready to sail south with a iot of assengers. p’l".\n;r»f the arrivals to-day—William Buckingham and C. B. Elliott of Chi- cago—have returned from Manook Creek. Just before they left, a nugget weighing $184 was washed out. They report that as high as 40 cents to the | pan was recently obtained on Russian Creek. —— | LOST THEIR ALL IN THE COPPER RIVER DISTRICT TACOMA, July 23—G. A. Kinsley | and W. L.

Pope of Illinois, now at Juneau, probably had the most thrilling ex: perience of anybody who has ever ven- ! tured into the Copper River country.

Near its center thev suddenly turned a bend and dashed over a 16- | foot waterfall. The raft siruck a rock | below and broke into pieces. Pope | struggled to the right banlk, where, wet | to the skin, he spent four cold rainy | days, without food, gazing up at the | perpendicular cliffs and hoping that his | companions, if saved, would come back | and let ropes down to rescue him. Finally, in sheer desperation, he | made a ladder by tying alder bushes together with strips of his clothing. By fastening this to snags and rocks he climbed upward 1500 feet, knowing that a single misstep would dash him to death. The day after reaching the top he wandered into Valdes nearly dead. His companions, who were car- ried downstream on a piece of the raft, believed he had been drowned.

He is 38 years of age and was married in 1891. His wife is 24 | and is generally esteemed the hand-| somest Spanish woman in Pomona Val- ley. She was formerly a belle in Span- ish society in Bakersfield. For a long time James Martinez de- clined to believe the reports of his friends concerning his wife’s relations with his attractive cousin, Jose Mar- tinez, who lived with his parents and sisters on a neighborings ranch. A month ago, however, he caught Jose in his house late one night, whereupon Jose confessed having wronged him. James Martinez magnanimously for- gave Jose when the latter vowed he would immediately go to Fresno and live there, and to have no further com- munication with the wife. Last Tuesday James was informed that Jose| was secretly hiding in Po- mona Valley, and that he and Mrs. Martinez communicated with each other. James armed himself and gave no indication of his suspicions. He told his wife last evening that he had business in Pomona and would be | away from home all night. He came | to Pomona, remained about a billiard hall all the evening, and then started home. He reached there at midnight. Secretly approaching the house, he ea- tered and went to bed. At 2 o'clock he was roused by so one stealing into the kitchen t{xrourgfi an open window. He called out and got out of bed at once. He saw in the moonlight Jose Martinez crossing the | floor in his stocking feet. At that mo- | ment Jose started back and then he | fired twice at James. The bullet: went into the casing of the door an | inch from James. The latter snatched up a revolver, and, running into the dining-room, fired deliberately at Jose. The cousin groaned and fell back upon the floor. James says he walked closer and fired twice at the prostrate body. Then he lighted a lamp, and, leaving | everything at home untouched, he drove to Pomona, hunted a policeman | and gave himself up. | The Coroner’s jury rendered a verdict that Jose Martinez came to his death by justifiable ooting at the hands James Martinez, who is now free. 1 CHRISOSTIMO CASTRO DIES AT MONTEREY 4 0404040404 904040404040404040404040440404040404040404¢04040404+4¢04¢040404040404040¢0+040+ Sudden Passing of a Descendant of a Castilian Family Prominent in Early Days.
