Sloan rode the winner of the first event (Kinley Mack, the California bred colt), and second was the best he could do after that.

Her Sons Having Refused to Form- ally Accuse the Suspects, the Townspeople Will Appeal to Governor Budd. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. POINT ARENA, Aug. 31.—The mur- der of aged Mrs. Morse is to go un- avenged so far as her relations are| concerned. For want of evidence the | sons of the dead woman have decided | not to cause the arrest of suspected | persons. The detective who has been here for some time vainly striving to complete the chain of circumstantial He has made a lengthy re- port to the Morse brothers, and, while he does not state positively who in his opinion committed the crime, recom- mends that suspected persons be placed under strict surveillance. Now that the Investigation has been abandoned leading residents of this | town intend to take the case into their own hands and endeavor to land. the criminals in jail. In a few days a com- mittee will be appointed to wait on | Governor Budd and request-him to of- fer a reward for the apprehension of the persons who were instrumental in causing the death of Mrs. Morse. After | this is done the same committee will | appear before the Supervisors of this | county and ask them to add $500'to the reward offered by the-State. ““We do not intend to brook any fool- ishness,” remarked one of the leading | spirits in the movement to-day. ‘“Jus- tice has been outraged and we demand | immediate reparation. The evidence thus far obtained seems to me to be sufficient to cause the arrest of the parties under suspicion. It has béen apparent to me since the investigation was begun that there was a determined | attempt on the part of some of the rel- | atives of the murdered woman to shield the guilty parties. Had we taken hold | of the case instead of relying on those | who are directly interested the crim- | inals would now be in jail awaiting | trial for the horrible murder.” | Both of the Morse brothers will shortly sell their interests here and go to San Francisco, where they intend to locate. “We have done everything in our power to locate the murderer or mur- derers of mother,” remarked Le Grand Morse this evening, “but our efforts | have gone for naught. It is true that we have found bits of circumstantial evidence, but not enough to warrant us to cause the arrest of the suspected I am bitterly opposed to hav- ing any one arrested on such a serious charge unless the proof is positive. As the evidence is wholly lacking in this | case T have decided not to proceed | eriminally against the suspected par- ties, but hope that some day they will be made to suffer for the foul murder | of my dear mother.” ELOPEMENT ENDS IN A PRISON CELL Fifteen-Year-Old Los Angeles Girl Arrested by San Jose Police.. SAN JOSE, Aug. 31.—Ella Hoffman, a fifteen-year-old girl, is being held here at the police station pending the arrival of | ner-mother from Los Angeles. The story | in connection with the girl's arrest Is a romantic one. Until a couple of montks ago she was an obedient daughter and resided with her widowed mother, Mrs. Alice Hoffman, a dressmaker at 139 North Qlive street, Los Angeles. About that | | time she became acquainted with Charles | Murdock, a young hack driver. The young | people fell in love with each other, and when, a month ago, Murdock told the girl he was coming north to iive in San Jose | she said she would come, too. Plans for an elopement were made, but Mrs. Hoft- | man learned of and frustrated them. Murdock, who is_just of- age, - finally | started for San Jose in a buggy. The | parting with the girl was a sad one, in the presence of the girl’'s mother, who .was | led to.believe the young couple had part- | ed for good. But the lovers had re- arranged their plans. Murdock was to start alone in the buggy, and the girl was to join him at Ventura.. Consequently in a day or two Ella sold a gold ring she had and bought a ticket for Ventura. There | she joined Murdock, and the two traveled ‘| by team to this city. Mater Hoffman sur- mised that.her daughter was-up this way and telegraphed to have her arrested. Murdock and the girl engaged lodgings at the St. Charlés Hotel on their arrival, and there .the police found them. The irl's mother s expected ‘to arrive from 0s Angeles in a day or twa to take her home. Ella Hoffman is small for her age, and does not look to be -over 13 years of age. She is bright and rather good looking. The girl is deeply infatuated with Mur- dock, and even behind prison bars is set, Murdock is now employed in an orchard near here. He has not called to see her since the arrest. 'RACED DESPITE THE REFEREE’S RECALL Pa., READING, Aug. 31.—The eighth ‘Wheelmen took place at the Fair Grounds to-day.

Despite “Boss” Rea and His Under- lings, the Strike of the Btu- dents Continues to Spread. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Aug. 31. —The High School strike continues to absorb at- tention, and means of aiding the stu- dents in their fight are being discussed by the people. No steps have been taken yet, but it is asserted some of the organizations of the city. will inter- est themselves in the crusade against bossism in the public schools. The strikers are pleased with the Santa’ Clara school. The students now go back and forth on the street cars. So far about 120 pupils from this city are enrolled there, and indications are that the number will go above 150 as soon as' the fruit season is over. At the San Jose High School . 213 pupils were: present this morning by actual count. Last term there -were 341. Of the number now attending ninety-six are new pupils, so in reality there are only 117 old pupils. The gradu- ating class last year numbered about 40, which would lexe about 300 pupils still enrclled in - the ‘chool. There should have been an increased number of scholars this year, making an attend- ance of nearly 400. As only 117 of last year’s pupils returned it shows that fully 200 boys and girls have been driven from the High School by the disreputable tactics of Rea and the Board of Education. The same students that struck against the dismissal of Professor Smith were instrumental in securing the new $75,000 high school for San Jose. Had it not been for their work at the polls the bond issue would have been defeated. The teachers at the High School are chafing under the criticism they are receiving. This is especially true of Principal Shumate. His uricouth man- ner and rowdy talk are more manifest than ever and tend to bear out what the students have already said of him. ‘When told to-day that it was talked about on the streets that the register of the school had been stuffed he de- nounced' the people making the state- ments as “‘d—-d liars.” He also said, ‘‘San Jose is the greatest place for tell- ing lies on earth,” and intimated that if-the man who started the report came to him he would punch his head. “Boss"” Rea and the faculty of the school are considering the proposition to ‘establish a weekly high school pa- per in order to enable them to state their side of the case and. Incidentally to aid in bringing the enrollment of the institution up to what it should be. Sante. Clara College has offered the usc of its gymnasium to the pupils of the Santa Clara High School. The gymnasium at the latter place was turned into a physical and chemical laboratory to accommodate the new pupils. MADE A MANIAC BY.

Accident Due to the System of Rigid Economy Practiced by the Southern Pacific Company. Bpeclal Dispatch to The Call. REDDING, Aug. 81L.—The worst wreck of a series of six bad smash-ups on the Shasta division of the Southern Pacific Company occurred at 11:20 o’clock to-day at the Blue cut, about sixty miles north of this city. A special through freight from Port- land, known as ‘‘the cannon-ball ‘spec- ial,” was making the usual time down Sacramento Canyon when the engine left the rails at a curve and plunged down the embankment into the river. Fireman Smith, a resident of Sacra- mento, was instantly killed. Engineer George Hanson, also of Sacramento, was so badly injured that it is believed he cannot survive. The train was in charge of Conductor Terrill of Sacra- mento. He and the rest of the crew escaped injury. o The place where the accident oc- curred is near the mouth of a tunnel between Sims station and Chromite siding. It has not heretofore been re- garded as a dangerous point, and rail- road men are at a loss to account for the accident, except by the spreading of the rails. Besides the engine seven loaded freight cars left the rails, two of them plunging over the embankment and crashing in on top of the wrecked loco- motive. Wrecking crews from Duns- muir are now at work clearing the debris, but traffic will be delayed some time. Coroner Earnest left for the scene of the wreck on a special north bound freight late this afternoon. An inquest will.be held on the remains of the dead fireman, and the wounded engineer will be taken to the railroad -hospital at once if he can stand the journey. This makes the sixth ‘or seventh smash-up on the Shasta route between this city and Dunsmuir in the last few months, and each wreck was due to the system’ of rigid economy practiced by the company. The route through Sac- ramento Canyon is a series of curves. In repairing the track it is the custom to change the rails from one side 'to the other and to turn the cross ties bot- tom side up, .using them as long as they will hold a spike. "When the heavy en- gine with a loaded train strikes a curve there is a terrible strain on the ties, and if there is a weak spot the engine Legvées the track, the train piling up be- ind.
