PRESIDENT’S HAPPY SPEECH THREE HUNDRED EPISCOPAL BISHOPS PRESENT. In Clerical Robes, Accompanied by Choir Boys, They March to the Summit of Mount St. Albans. Special Dispatch to The Call WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.—A most im- pressive ceremony in this city was the unveiling io-day of the peace cross on the summit of Mount St. Albans, the site of the new Episcopal cathedral This ceremony was in lieu of the laying of the cornerstone of the edifice, which will be known as the Cathedral of Sts. Peter and Paul. President McKinley was present and delivered a brief address. Many other distinguished men, including 800 Bishops and other high dignitaries of the church, were present. They marched in solemn procession in their clerical robes, accompanied by choir- boys of the different churches of the city. An audience of many thousands was present. Bishop Satterly delivered the address | of welcome, while the sermon was by Bishop Doane. The drapery was dropped from the stone while President | McKinley was speaking. | Mount St. Albans is some ‘distance | from the city proper, but it overlooks | the capital and from its site the many public buildings, the domes of the | Capitol and Congressional Library and | the Washington monument are plainly visible. The situation, the surround- | ings and & beautiful day combined to make the scene inspiring and the oc- | casion impressjve. The President rose and said: “I ap- preciate the very great privilege given me to participate with this ancient church by its Bishops and its laymen in this new sowing for the Master and | for men. Every undertaking like this for the promotion of religion and edu- cation is a positive gain to citizen- | ship, to country and civilization. And | in this single word I speak I wish for this sacred enterprise the highest in- fluence and the widest usefulness.” While the President spoke the drapery of red, white and blue was re- moved, revealing a huge Ionian cross, twenty feet high, cut from a single stone. After a chant by the choir, ‘Whipple read a special prayer thanksgiving for victory. Bishop Doane in the course of his sermon said: ‘I am speaking here in the name of all Americans. The cross here unveiled stands on a mount which bears a name holy to all English- speaking people. It overlooks the | capitol of a great nation of free men. The chief magistrate of our great coun- try has added the dignity of his most welcome presence. A representative assembly has gathered. I take it that | there is here to-day in this assembly | the only union that can exist between | the church and state in this country.” He spoke of the suggestiveness of the peace cross, the peace which had come to the nation and which was commem- orated by the crc FREAK COMING TO THE CITY TO CELEBRATE ’Sm Quentin Convict Who Has Not Spoken Nor Cut His Hair For Years. SAN QUENTIN, PRISON, Oct. 28.—E. J. Cunningham, one of the greatest freaks ever confined In this institution, was released and took the train for San Francisco to-day. Cunningham was in- carcerated for a term of six years for burglary committed in Orange County. When he donned the stripes he swore that he would not speak nhor cut his hair un- til the day he was a free man. For five years the oath was religiously kept, but | about six months ago. under the stress | of great_excitement, he uttered a few | words. From that time until his release to-day not a word has passed his, lips. As he walked out of the gates and starfed | for the stage to Greenbrae his hair measured four feet in length. He talked volubly when told he was free, and said | he would go to the city, get a hair-cut and then celebrate.

CLEWS THAT ARE NEGLECTED CALL REPORTER INTERVIEWS THE SUSPECTS. Finds Them Extremely Nervous and Contradictory in Their State- ments—Alibis Will Be Hard to Prove. WATSONVILLE, Oct.28—There was a big baseball game in this Uvely little city to-day, and everybody attended,in- cluding law officers who were supposed to be searching for further evidence necessary to hold for trial the men who are believed to be guilty of the at- tempted abduction of the young daugh- ter of Postmaster Osborn. The fact came to light to-night that for two days it has been known to the law officers that there was a witness in this city who stated on the day after the arrest that he had seen Romero in company with a young American in the neighborhood of Osborn’s house, the two evenings preceding the commission of the crime, and that he saw them in the same vicinity late on the night the girl was carried out of bed from her home. Nevertheless that witness, Jos- eph Littlejohn, has not been sought for by the peace officers, notwithstanding he was on the principal street during the afternoon to-day. Littlejohn, who hails from Castro- ville, met’' Jose Gomez to-day, to whom he made the statement regarding Ro- mero, and abused his friend for giv- ing to the officers the private informa- tion imparted. He told Gomez that as there was no vitness to the declaration he could not prove that Littlejohn had made the statement. The reason of Lit- tlejohn’s anger was that he did not want to be mixed ur in the case and possibly get into trouble. It was an- nounced to-night that he would be sub- poenaed and given an opportunity to tell what he knows under oath. There has been rather severe criti- cism by citizens of the manner in which the case has been handled thus far, as it is feared there will not be suf- ficent evidence to hold the men. Some of these people are unkind enough to say that election time is at hand; that there is a large Spanish vote here, and that the accuscd men are Mexican half- castes. This appears to be harsh, and it would probably be more generous to say that lack of experience and knowl- edge of the value of clews is responsible for the conditions. This is illustrated by the fact that the young American who is supposed to have furnished the information regarding the location of the girl's room Is not belng looked for, nor has an effort been made to learn what man of that description Romero has been associating with recently. It was learned this afternoon that Postmaster Osborn is so anxious about the outcome of the case that he has had a private detective at work se- cretly lookir= up evidence for the past forty-eight hours. What has been ac- complished Mr. Osborn refuses to state. “I do not want to be the cause of punishing ah innocent man,” sald he, “but it does seem to me that it will be almost impossible to explain away the frcts that point to the guilt of these men, and I hone there will be some- thing forthcoming _to-morrow to stengthen the case. I am simply do- in my best to get at the truth and mete out -unishment to the ruilty man or men.” An interview with the accused men had to-day by The Call correspondent diclosed the fact that they are exceed- ingly nervous. Romero, who is a black- visaged Mexican, with a scar on his right ear that looks as though he had been slashed with a knife, was the more self-possessed of the two, but grew quite nervous when told that the evi- dence against him was strong and was expected to be much strengthened be- fore the examination to-morrow after- noon. He asserted in a husky voice that he went to bed in the Cosmopolitan lodging-house at 10 o'clock that night and slept till 7 a. m. When asked if he could prove the allegation he replied in the negative. He also declared that he had not been in the neighborhood of the Osborn residence prior to the night of the crime, but it is stated that the prosecution expects to produce wit- nesses to prove that he was seen round there on several occasions. He admit- ted his inability to account for the pres- ence of the sugar factory weight card in the buggy or for the fact that the tracks of the vehicle led to the side- walk of the house in which Carnes lodged. Romero was about to leave the city when rearrested, but thinks that was entirely proper. “I am an innocent man,” said he, “and can prove my former good charac- ter, but 1 know that it is possible to raflroad an innocent man to prison and they may do that for me. I think I can clear myself, though. No, I do not know anything about Carnes. I never associated with him except during the short time we worked together. Now I won’t talk any more; my attorney has forbidden me to do so.” Romero, in a badly depressed state, was then locked up. Carnes, when brought out and ques- tioned, was In a pitiable condition. He was so nervous that he could neither stand still nor walk straight and had much difficulty in finding his voice. He averred that on the night of the crime he went to bed at 7 o'clock, but ac- knowledged that he could not establish the fact. He contradicted his former statement to Marshal Bridgewater re- garding his disposal of the telltale tag. In the first instance he said that he had torn the paper to pieces, and to your correspondent he declared that he had simply taken it from his pocket and thrown it away. Carnes will have diffi- culty in establishing an alibi, as the landlady of the house where he lodged was absgent on the night of the attempt- ed abduction, and cannot say whether or not he came in early or late. The prisoner Is well known in Ventura and Santa Barbara. The examination will begin before the committing magistrate at 2 p. m. to-morrow. Roundhouse Burned in Washington. NEW WHATCOM, Wash., Oct. 23.—The roundhouse belonging to the Bellingham Bay and Eastern Railroad at Woodlawn, on Lake Whatcom, burned last night.

RAIN COMES T0 THE RELIEF OF - HIRE-FIGHTERS Their Heroic Work in the Mountains. OFTEN PENNED IN BY FLAMES SEVERAL MIRACULOUS ESCAPES FROM DEATH. Danger Not Yet Over and Patrols Are on the Lookout—Forest Commissioner Newhall Dut of Place. Bpecial Dispatoh to The Call. PASADENA, Oct. 38—Rain at an early hour this morning came to the rescue of the 200 exhausted fire-fighters in the San Gabriel Mountain range, back of this city. The fires had spread and were raging in different canyons. In Henniger's Flats, about four miles beyond Mount Wilson, the biggest squad of men wes working when the clouds began rolling in at 2 o’clock Sun- day morning. From then till T o'clock the mists kept drizzling. One crew com- ing down the canyon about daybreak found an old man, who had become ex- hausted, lying unde a ledge of rocks, 80 that the raindrops could fall in his mouth. Water and sandwiches revived him sufficiently to hobble out. Though the fires leap, twist, whirl, jump and run for hundreds of feet in terrific fury, the men have thus far es- caped being caught, though many ad- ventures are reported. One squad, led by Thomas Banbury, was in the canyon between Wilson's Peak and Mount Lowe when a change in the wind sent the conflagration leaping from forest to forest, licking up whole acres of chaparral in a minute, covering all with smoke and ashes. A fortunate turn in the wind permitted them to escape, but one of them, Cliff Rogers, struck a high gait down the mountains and never quit running until he got to Pasadena. Thomas Zachary is thanking his lucky stars for a narrow escape. He was hundreds of feet down a narrow canyon when he saw a great bowlder rushing with tremendous velocity down upon him. With rare presence of mind he darted under a bushy clump just in time to see it bound over him in its resistless force. Many other men have been bruised, but the Pasadena Red Cross Soclety have a member of the Seventh Regiment Hospital Corps on the ground to dress all wounds. Alpine Tavern and the Mount Lowe Railway property have all been saved. | For a time it looked very dubious when the flames were darting over the crest of the ridge above and when hot ashes were falling among the great pines around the antique hotel up there, 5000 feet above the sea, but the vigorous work of the fighters, spurred on by Man- ager J. 8. Torrance of the Mount Lowe Raliway, promising the men double wages to save the property, had its effect and the picturesque railway and hotel remain as a delight to all tourists. Prompt action has also saved the stately forests and green mountalns around Wilson’'s Peak and Martin’s Camp. Though the fires are under con- trol and the men are returning patrols are keeping watch of the smoldering | embers and smaller fires. Unless there | comes more rain danger will not be all passed for many days yet. All through this fight Commissioner Newhall has demonstrated incompe- tency and unfitness for his position. He is a good man, but should be in a Red- lands Sunday-school rather than at the head of a Government attempt to protect our valuable water sheds. Man- ager Torrance, Harry Wilcox, Ranger Border, Ranger Thomas and other Pasadenans have had to bear the brunt of the burden of this fight. Between 3000 and 4000 acres of these forest-cov- ered mountains have been swept bare by this last fire. The expense has been heavy because of the Government send- ing many useless men into the moun- tains and by not acting more promptly on the first alarm. Professor E. W. Claypool, the Throop Institute scientist, who has watched forest fire fighting in Rurope, comes forward with the statement that the only way to save the forest is by cut- ting anti-fire paths in and through the forests, so that the fires are stopped ‘by these paths before they get under headway. TOOK THREE SHOTS AT GREEK FISHERMEN Deputy Fish Commissioner Makes a Display of Authority Off San Quentin. SAN RAFAEL,, Oct. 23.—An excited Deputy Fish Commissioner and a re- volver formed a combination nearly re- sulting in a tragedy yesterday. Three shots were fired at a number of Greek fishermen engaged in fishing for sturgeon off East Brothers' lighthouse, north of San Quentin, two of which pierced the sail of their little smack. The fishermen were John George, keeper of the Point House at San Quentin; John Constan- tine, who lives on ,one of the Marin islands, and another person whose name was not learned. Just as the string of sturgeon were be- ing hauled' into their boat the Fish Com- missioner’s launch Quinnat rounded a promontory, having on board three men and three ladles. s soon as the launch | was sighted the string was thrown into the bay and sail hoisted. The sall was hardly in place -when one of the men rose in the launch and fired. The bullet plerced the sail, and the unknown fisher« man became so frightened that he jumped | overboard and swam to land. The launch gave chase to the smack and two more shots were fired. One tore another hole in the sail, while the last whistled harm- lessly overhead. At the third shot George and = Constantine threw all their lines overboard to destroy evidence, and the Quinnat desisted from the chase. It is evident that the men must have been using ‘‘China’” lines to catch the sturgeon or they would have had no rea- son for destroying the evidence, as plain hook-and-line fishing is not illegal. George asserts that no warning was given of the intended shots and that nothi could have been done to avold them. %e iden- tity of the Quinnat passengers could not be discovered.
