Challenged the Young Millionaire to a Duel, and Now Must Stand ° Examination as to His Sanity. Bpecial Dispatch to The Call SAN RAFAEL, Oct. 14.—A sensation ‘was sprung here to-day by two detec- tives of Harry Morse's - detective agency arresting E. Malcolm Garnett, son of Louis A. Garnett, the well- known mining operator, on a charge of disturbing the peace. of the arrest is that Garnett for months past has been greatly annoying Miss Ethel Rodgers, a cousin of Walter S. IHobart, by writing to her letters of an exceedingly amorous nature and en- deavoring to seek a personal meeting. It is declared that the young man is mentally unsound. About three months ago Garnett.first saw the beautiful Miss Rodgers at a party glven by prominent society peo- ple in San Francisco. He became at once a sufferer from Cupid’s pranks and sent the young lady a letter attest- ing his undying admiration. No atten- tion was paid to this, and a few days later another letter came, urging that the lovesick swain be permitted to pre- sent himself and be introduced. Later Garnett came to San Rafael.and sought admittance to Captain Wil- lems’ house, on Sixth avenue and E street, where Miss Rodgers has been residing with Mrs. Lester, Mr. Hobart's sister, and Miss Jullet Williams, a sis- ter-in-law. He was told nobody was at home and went away. Since that time the young lady has received ut fifty letters and Gar- nett has called at the Willlams house a dozen times, only to be denied admit- tance on all occasions. Finally Walter Hobart went to see the father, Louls A. Garnett, who resides The real cause | on the corner of. Essex and Turk streets, San Francisco, and informed him of his son’s pecullar actions. The father pleaded earnestly with his boy to abandon his reprehensible conduct, but all to no purpose. A few weeks ago Mr. Hobart re- ceived a letter from Garnett begging for an introduction to his inamorata, and proudly boasting of his own fla less character and the prominent posi- tion occupied in soclety by his rela- tives. A caustic reply caused the desperate swain to take another tack. He wrote a letter challenging Mr. Hobart to a duel. On the front page of this epistle was drawn a crude picture of an exe- cutioner in the act of beheading a man with a broadax. ARREST OF NINE ITALIAN ANARCHISTS Had Planned to Slay Ger- many’s Ruler at Cairo. Conspirators Being Compelled to Change the Scheme, Shipped Deadly Bombs to Port Said. Special Dispatch to The Call LEXANDRIA, Egypt, Oct. 14—The Alexandria police have arrested nine Italian have thereby frustrated a anarchists since last night, and plot against Emperor William, now on his way to the Holy Land to be present at the conse- cration of the Church of the Savior at Jerusalem. The first to be arrested is a cafekeeper, a well-known an- archist, in whose house the police discovered two wire-bound bombs of great strength, full of bulléts. This arrest was made in consequence of the notification from the Italian Consul General at Cairo that two anarchists had left Cairo for Port Said. The police investigation showed that the arrested cafekeeper had bribed the steward of a steamer sailing to-day from Alex- andria to Port Said and Syria to take on board a box of bombs. Apparently the anarchists originally intended to use the bombs at the Paladis Abidin, at Cairo, while Emperor William and the Khedive were there. When the Kaiser decided n changed their plans and decided The liveliest satisfaction is the German consulate has expressed its warmest thanks. ot to visit Egypt, the anarchists to attack him in Palestine. felt over the smart captures, and The two Cairo anarchists who left for Port Said have not yet been arrested. This was enough for Mr. Hobart. He consulted with Harry Morse and Detec- tive Cleary was detailed to keep a watch on Garnett. To-day the latter came to San Rafael and was walking around the Williams grounds, after having been denied admittance to the house, when he was arrested by Cleary and Constable Louis Hughes and charged with disturbing the peace. He was taken to the Courthouse, and, after close questioning, placed in confine- ment. Garnett seems to be unquesiionably insane. He admitted having written the letters to Miss Rodgers, Miss Wil- liams and Mrs. Lester, asking for an introduction to the former young lady. He saild he would not have come to THE NEW GERMAN CHURCH IN JERUSALEM, WHICH EMPEROR WILLIAM IS ON HIS WAY TO DEDICATE. l San Rafael at all, but that Mrs. Lester had telephoned to him to come. He was granted permission to write a letter and scribbled one to Miss Williams as fol- lows: “My Dear Miss Williams: This con- finement is very disagreeable. If it is desirable, I wish you would explain matters, as it is all a joke.” The man claimed acquaintance with nearly every celebrity in the country, including the late Ward McAllister, Ned Greenway and Charles Page, the capitalist. He said the latter would go his ball At 3 o'clock to-morrow afternoon Garnett will be examined by Drs. Wickman and Jones, in the presence of Superior Judge F. M. Angellott!, as to his sanity. He dresses very neatly and wears his mustache in a peculiar fashion, with both tips waxed and pointing straight forward from the face. Louis A. Garnett, the father, former- lygwas in the mining business, and was at one time a wealthy man. The fam- ily moves in the best circles of society and the arrested son is a college grad- uate. STATUS OF THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF HAWAII WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.—The organiz- ers of the First National Bank of Ha- wali, Honolulu, of which the Anglo-Cali- fornian Bank of San Francisco is a large stockholder, have wired here to ascer- tain what further steps are necessary to perfect the organization of the bank. The inquiry is based on the supposition that .| the terms of the annexation of the islands having to await the action of Congress the status of the Government in Hawail may be in doubt. The question has been mooted not through any fear as to an ultimate favorable decision, but is rather prompted by natural precautions taken v men engaging in vast business enter- prises. In the absence of Attorney Gen- eral Griggs it will be impossible to secure a formal opinion until next week, when he will return to Washington. However, the Assistant Attorney General and the Solicitor for the Department of Justice have both passed informally upon- the question of government now in force in Hawall. It is held that territorial powers of the United States are not extended over the islands, and that our Federal laws are fn full force and effect. The Solicitor of the Department of Justice further holds that native-born Hawalilans g&nkbe directors in the newly organized ank. FRERFRFERLXX R RE R RN MASSACRE FEARED.
