Donald, as his letters show and this telegram indicates, had determined to return to San Francisco and rob the People’s Bank. In the .cipher Dick urges him to have all of the conspira- tors remain in the East, so as to lull Captain James McDonald into a false. security and prevent him from draw- ing out 'his nfoney. ¢ dramatic in_the extreme. - The broth- ers and their coconspirators were at lastforced to the wall and the McDon- ald brothers saw, the gates of the peni- tentlary before them. The dispatch read as follows: Telegraph Winterburn confidentially to oppose making loans until you return. . Farnum is de- sirous -of making one hundred twenty thousand. Dyer is ‘' three thousand more overdraft. Young Johns Thave stopped steal- ing. He, Dorn, young Johns here together. Unless Johns must return make him and all hands remain East or Captain will think we-are doing nothing and pull out his money. Norton, the thief, makées large Mo- hawk drafts.

McDonald Jr..sent an- other cipher dispatch to his hrother it was practically to reiterate the warn- ings and the pleadings he had uttered before. = The ‘condition of the' Pacific Bapk was hopeless, but R. H. McDon- ald Jr,, his brother and his father be- lieved that by -robbing- the People’s Bank they.might save the commercial bank. -The sons had already, with the selfish thought of their own future, pro- whom reference is made, s the local | tected their father's property from the printer and was then one of the most |attachment that they knew would fol- influential directors of the People’s Home Savings Bank. Farnum, as al- ready indicated, was the manager of that § itutio: Young Johns is the son of A. F. Johns. had been the superintendent John Brown colony, to secure from Dick McDonald an edu- of cation at Harvard. Failing in that, he | then took to the stage and is now “Billy er,” the prizefighter. The “Cap- | tain” is Captain James McDonald, against whom Richard H. McDonald Jr. vented all his venom and whom he attempted to rob.

DORN WERE PLOT- TING AGAINST HIM, When R. H.' McDonald telegraphed again to his brother he n dire dis- tress. He commanded his brother im- mediately and, as he shamelessly ex- pressed it, “handle the People’s Bank at once.” The young man | the | He had attempted | low the failure of the banks. In the dispatch. that follows Dick McDonald sought to save his father’s reputation as well. The telegram read, through the assistance of the cipher, is as fol- lows: Our only sure independent means of safety now is for you to return imme- dlately—yes, immediately. Have Peo- ple’s supply Pacific funds they have or can easily raise. Before leaving with pa, immediately renew Chemical Park locan- due twelfth twenty-nine, plus fifty at Park.

McDonald Jr. and | that the notice. that had been served He was fearful, he wired, | desperate situation. Bank Commissioners - had forced At- torney General Hart to take someaction | in connection with the Riverside Bank, and the Attorney General, with the in- inct of self-preservation, went to R. informed - him upon the Riverside Bank would be is- sued for the. Paeific Bank. This no- that Dorn and Farnum were plotting | ;. mage the following cipher dispatch to keep his hands out of the.vaults of | Bank, and that he would | the People’ soon be powerless. He suggests an- other scheme against his nncle, ‘Cap- tain Jim,” and cries out in distress that Dyer's overdraft {s still going up. The cipher ‘télegram is as follows: first an option Learn for Electric deal. till January first when two fifty may or may not be paid. I consider same impossible. Come home immediately and han- die People’s. Our only re- source now. Soon Dorn- Farnum crowd will have things so we are all pow- erless.

THEPEODPLE’S BANK THE LAST RESORT OF THE THIEVING BANKERS. The next dispatch of R. H. McDonald Jr. to his brother Frank wpuld indicate that the thieving banker at this end of the line was on the verge of insan- ity. He commanded his brother to re- turn at once or take upon his should- ers the responsibility of “having de- stroved the very foundation of the bank. Dick begged his brother to save him from the impending action of one Eastern bank and to make his father protect him from the other. Dyer had made another overdraft. The People's Bank had loaned out $40,000, which Dick said should have gone to the vaults of the Pacific Bank. The af- fairs of both institutions were nearing the end. Dick McDonald had ceased to be a banker and had become a high- wayman without taking any of - the highwayman's chances. His frantic dispatch was as follows: You musi come immedi- ately after fixing Chem- ical. I demand it of you. D bank has run up overdraft by ADVERTISEMENTS. Pears’ A touch'is enough for cleanliness..

WAUKESHA, Wis,, Nov. l—Carroll College in this city is just $5000 poorer through a game of football. Miss Anna M. Sackett, who died last week and who had lived here magy years, had watched the work of Carrdll College and decided to assist the work to the best of her ability. She ‘made her will, giving a legacy of $5000 to the trustees of Carroll for the benefit of that institution. Last summer she heard and read so much about foot- ball in the school that she decided to see the game for herself and ascertain what it was like. She drove out one day to see a contest between the college and a visiting eleven. She was horrified at what she saw. She had no sympathy at all for authorities who encouraged what she thought was brutality undér the name of sport. She went home and sent for her lawyer. Under her directions he drew up another will, which contained no legacy for the college, and she signed it, the former will being destroyed. Cincinnati Journalist Coming. CINCINNATI, Nov. 1.—George Gohen, who has been city editor of the Times- Star for several years, leaves soon to as. sume his duties on November 15 as edi- tor of a San Francisco paper.

R. H. McDonald Jr. could no longer avert the crash. His crafty dishonesty had proved with- out ~avail. His glorious dreams of power had vanished in thin air. The funds of the Pacific Bank liad been dis- sipated In wild schemes. The pockets of unscrupulous conspirators had been lined with the hard earned savings of thousands of poor people. Failure af- ter failure had come to the absurd am- bitions of the McDonalds. The father and one son were practically fugitives from justice. Another gon sat tremb- ling.in his office at the Pacific Bank, waiting for the crash of the institu- tion and the arresting hand of a police officer. S Still, with a .determination to fight with the money of the people he had robbed, he begged his brother for at least that expression of fraternal re- gard which would warn him in time to commit one more robbery.. Utterly crushed and in terror of the conse- quences of his crimes he sent to Frank V. McDonald the following cipher dis- pateh: % If you fail with Chemical tel- egraph as I wish to save a lit- tle to. defend me if arrested, Should Chemical not accept Pa’s indorsement make S. and D. indorse also. 'Keep cool. These are. the dispatches that prove to the public of San Francisco that the People’s Home Bavings Bank of this city was deliberately robbed by .the managers of the Pacific Bank.' There can be no question that Frank McDon- ald had it in his power to rob the Peo- ple’s Bank, and had not only done so, but was expected to do so again. The documents also prove' that J. E. Far- num, the manager of the People’s Barnk, offered no objection to this robbery. Tt is the purpose of The Call to trace the method of the gigantic series of thefts and to-trace every detail of -the con-. spiracy from its inception to its con- clusion. With that purppse in view and to present the facts ag clearly as they may be The Call will publish to-morrow morning the confidential . letters of Frank V. McDonald. These epistles will-involve more than oné character | prominent in the affairs of this city and State; They will reveal more than one man in an attitude that he does not now maintain. Y “HANDLE THE PEOPLE’S MONEY OR GO HANG YOURSELF” The above is one of Dick McDonald’s important cipher dispatches to his brother. “To run bank Our credit Now_you must await Dorn and I regard Come home apd use People’s {SLAPPED THE FACE OF A MAJOR OF REGULARS Fracas in a Jacksonville Hotel Over Rent Due by the Gov- ernment. JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Nov. 1.—At the ‘Windsor Hotel last night C. C. Robertson,, a prominent citizen of this eity, slapped the face of Major Pilcher of the regular army, who has been in charge of the medical supply depot of the Seventh Army Corps here. After the assault Major Pilcher ran up the staircase of the hotel and threw a cuspidor at Robertson, Robertson then ran up to the second landing and vigorously struck Major Pil- cher several times with a light cane. Guests then separated them. In the afternoon. the combatants had some words about.rent due on the build- ing used by the uovernment as a medical supply depot. Fiicher ordered Robertson out of his office and called upon a sentry to put him out. Robertson walked out, the sentry refusing to interfere in the matter. "Meeting Pilcher at the hotel in the evening, Kobertson .asked for an ex- lanation of his conduct and an apology. ilcher, according to Robertson, moved along without re%lylnf and he (Robert- son) caught him by his coat and drew him back, slapping his face twice. . Pil- cher had Robertson arrested. e / Salinas Bond Election. : SALINAS, Nov. 1.—The Common Coun- ol last night decided to call a- election, to be held December 15, B ition to issue bonds amount the erection of a new THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, | Chickamauga," WORULLY SHoT General Bates Testifies as te Santiago. £ SOLDIERS LACKED MEDICINE NO EXCUSE FOR SUCH CONDI- TIONS EXISTED. | Better Preparation, He Declares, Could Have Been .uade for - . the Transportation of Speclal Dispatch to The Call. LEXINGTON, Ky., Nov. l—Before the War Investigating Committee to- day Chief Commissary Marshall of Camp Hamilton denied the statements made by Lieutenant Cplonel Mitchell of the First Territorials last night. He sald-every requisition had been hon- ored from the Territorials. 3 The second witness was General J. C. Bates, who testifled as to the Santlago campaign, the camps at Mobile and at Chickamauga. He went to see Gen- eral Brooke regarding the lack of equipment, clothing and other sup- plies. He said: “The day. before we left Mobile we got pretty well supplied.. There were supplies for recruits. At Santiago we had bread and meat always. Montauk Point was not the proper place for a camp of sick soldiers at his time of the year. At Montauk Point I learned that the Long Island Railroad Com- pany had an exclusive contract to haul the soldiers to the city. roads to come in and help take off the sick. < "l;n Cuba medical supplies were woe- fully short:. The medical officers sald that they could not get them. This was especially trye at Siboney. In go- ing over we had enough medical sup- plies, but we were cut down. We had trouble in getting ambulances taken to Cuba. We got one for each regiment and one for.each squadron. I‘think the ambulances I took were the only ones ashore when the Rough Riders fight oc- curred on the 24th of June. “ When- asked what, in his opinion, was the weakness in_the medical de- partment, General Bates said he thought a great mistake was made in not sending medical officers in suffi- cient number with the regiments or- dered to the field. Additional trans- portation should bave been furnished for medical officers and medical sup- plles, ambulances and horses. “What do you think of the propriety of -allowing female nurses to ‘accom- pany an army into the field?” asked Dr. Conner. “I think it would be perfectly proper to have them at large hospitals, but not at regimental hospitals.” = Replying to a leading question by Dr. Conner, General Bates said that, with modern arms, danger in removing wounded from - the line of fire w: atly increased; that it difficult :’:lh:m}inuunce men and m&s;; bearers e | K fire. In Cuba “@fi mm:—g get oatmeal and other. delicacies for the sick. o &g o “I think thére Is rfot sufficient ex- cuse for -the medical Supplies being short in Cuba,” he added. = “Better preparations could have been made for transportin~. We had no way to shoe horse and mules. I have no recom- mendations to suggest as to the im- proventent of War Department regula- tions, nor regarding the rations, These matters have been subject to consid= eration of boards of officers, and I do not care to‘offer an opinion.” General Bates was then excused. Lieutenant Colonel James Parker, Twelfth .{few York, said that when the troops arrived at Chickamauga the men had to sleep on the wet ground.with pnly one blanket and no change of clothing. - He said that the First South Carolina regiment did not receive their rifles for a month after their arrival at the park, the men being compelled to do guard duty without guns. The [ Twenty-first Kansas also had to do guard duty for two weeks. “When the volunteers first arrived at said Colonel Parker, "“their tongues weré literally hanging out for want of water. For thréee weeks they could not get water enough to’ quench their thirst. Then the pipe " |lines were laid but the water the mefi got ‘was not pure, in my opinion. There were wells left at the park as land marks which contained water that was bad for them to drink. The usual pre- cautions that are taken with troops in camp were taken theré. I have spent six years of my life in tents, having been a captain in the Fourth Cavalry, and I think any regular army officer will agree with me that the camp was established on the proper plans. “General Breckinridge, when he took command, did more to change for the better the sanitary conditions than had been accomplished -altogether before. He had Jumber, which had been applied for in vain before, furnished the hos- pitals. He provided lime in great abundance, he had new tentage sup- plied, he gave medicines when needed. Upon my inspections I found the ho pitals of the First Division, Third Corps, of the Third Division, First Corps, and of the Second Division, Third Corps, very dirty. The first was placed alongside a dump heap. The <| dirt in most cases, however, was due fo the over-crowded condition of the hos- pitals. The surgeohs were worked to death and too sick themselves to look after the cleanliness properly. So far as I knew neither General Brooke nor General Wade ever made a sanitary in- spection of the camp. “I think there was disinclination on the part of the Government to purchase lime. It could have been secured easily, or even burned by the troops. The Quartermaster’s . Department might have accomplished much during this war that it did not seem inclined to. It would have been just as easy to es- tablish at Chickamauga the ideal con- ditions that prevail here at Camp Ham- | ilton at the cost of not more than $§1 per man.” The night session began at 8 o'clock, Lieutenant Frank Strange, quarter- master-of the Third Kentucky, being the first witness called. He was at Chickamauga Park from June 1 until the 17th of July, when he took sick and left. He testified that while at Chick- amauga his regiment was badly equipped. His regiment was unable to procure quartermaster’s supplies, con- siting of clothing tentage, etc., because the suppiles were not on hand but in small quantities. They had so many regiments to equip that when they had supplies on hand they. were distributed among all the regiments. Often the quartermaster did not have equipment from a lack of knowledge as to what was required. Then, when the regi- mental quartermasters went to the 'depot they were made to wait for sev- eral hours. 4 ¥ Next tvere called seven non-commis- sioned officers and privates, who stated generally that the rations and clothing tfurn good. ished were .

He had sent written statements of a se- rious nature to the board, but was un- able to substantiate but few. He stated that the surgeons were gullty-of erim- inal neglect by not seeing that the or- ‘| ders they issued were obeyed; that the medi¢ines prescribed whre not admin- istered; that on the day of General Breckinridge’s review no surgeons vis- ited the hospitals when men were dying from want of attention; that the water was bad; that on frequent occasions meals were eaten when bedpans were sitting in the rooms, rendering the air foul; that the sinks were in bad order and that on one occasion a man was al- most drowned in one. :To-morrow Genperal Sanger,, Major Griffith, acting, chief surgeon of the First Corps, and Major Slocum will be called before them, when the commis. sion will have completed this ‘work.
