KUHLMAN THINKS THERE WAS FOUL PLAY. 1 d k S thedral by tosh regiment Believes She Died From Poison, and Hints That It Was Not Self- Administered. Mrs. Lizzie Wilkins of Auburn, Cal., died suddenly at the home of her friend, Mrs. Frank Alger, 408 Jones street, yes- terday afternoon, and from the circum- stances surrounding the case Dr. Kuhl- man, who was called in to attend the woman, is of the opinion that death was due to poisoning, and intimates that it may have been administered by some one sted in getting Mrs. Wilkins out of Two weeks ago Mrs. Wilkins came to this city to visit Mrs. Alger, and up to yesterday morning seemed to be In the best of health. When she was called for breakfast yesterday morning she com- plained of severe pains in the stomach and remained in bed. In the afternoon she became worse, and Drs. Kuhlmen and Sullivan were summoned. The woman dled shortly after their arrival. Dr. Sul- livan, who saw the woman only & short time 'before her death, is of the opinion that Mrs. Wilkins died of cerebral hem- orrhage, but Dr. Kuhiman says all the symptoms pointed to narcotic poisoning— probably cocaine. He says that the pupils of the eves were dilated and there was rofuse perspiration. To Deputy Coroner allett Dr. Kuhlman stated that he thought the case would bear close inves- tigatlon, as he understood that Mrs. Wil- kins, who is a widow, had considerable property. A search of the woman's effects brought | to light an ounce bottle of morphine, $100 | in gold and a deed to a ranch near Au- burn. Mrs. Alger, Who has known tue | deceased from childhood, does not belleve | i that Mrs. Wilkins used morphine, and Is at a loss to explain the bottle found In the trunk. Deputy Coroner Hallett thinks | the woman died from natural causes, and says that if death was due to ‘po(sonin he believes Wilkins took it hersel elther acci lly or intentionally. e Railroad Commission Meets.

In consequence the Chinese who have or think they have relations in the hull of the sunken vessel have become very impa- tient and so have made a move on their own account. Wednesday even- ing they went to T. P. H. Whitelaw. the wrecker, and secured his services to recover the bodies. Captain White- law procured a permit from the Cali- fornia Navigation and Improvement Company on the understanding that he was not to begin the diving opera- tions until vesterday morning. The wrecking schooner Catalina was got ready by 3 p. m. Wednesday. The pumps and diving bells were putaboard and as soon as the tug Liberty came + e il v i 2 i AR 7 RECOVERING BODIES FROM THE J. D.

He made his. way s Captain Whitelaw and Divers Walter Page and E. H. Dolph got aboard and a start was made. By the time the wreck was reached it was discovered that the representatives of the Chinese Consulate were not aboard, so the Catalina was anchored near the Peters to awalt their arrival. The Chinese crossed the bay on the tug Miilie and they remained aboard the Catalina all night. Early yesterday morning Dolph and Page donned their diving suits and by 7 o’clock were o nthe lower deck of the Peters. There they found every pas- sage way littered up with merchan- seemed to have partly floated out of the lower room by some means or an- other, and they were found against the lower deck. + oG o + + + + + + - + + 5 s were made fast alongside the Peters to the ladder holding the remains at arm’s length. In the same way he felt his way up the ladder that was over the side, and then when near the surface he gave the corpse a push that sent it to the surface in a fearsome manner. As the bodies were recovered they and will remain there until claimed by the Coroner. Although there is supposed to be $2000 in coin and other valuables on the bodies no one at- tempted to touch them. During the morning a boy named Prospero Zaro picked up near the wreck a Chinese walstcoat. In it was the certificate of Lun Ho Wang, 726 Pacific street, and it fs supposed to belong to one of the dead bodies recovered. The chains for raising the J. D. Peters were put under her yesterday. Timbers for strengthening the hull were taken over during the morning, but they were not suitable and others had to be procured. The barges are to be placed alongside to-night, and %erhaps by this, morning’s tide the J. .

His first official position in his own coun- try was in the Foreign Office, in which he was employed in various capacities from 1884 to 1893. He was then appointed secretary to the Japanese Legation in Peking, China, holding that office until the breaking out of the Chinese war, In 1894, compelled his return to Tokio.

OBJECT TO BRITISH OFFICERS HOPE TO SHOW THAT PERJURY WAS COMMITTED. Trouble Growing Out of the Ameri- can Registration of the Steamers Victoria, Tacoma, Olympia and Glengare. The Marine Engineers’ Association and the Association of Master Pilots of this city are much exercised over the fact that deck officers and engineers of the four British steamers of the Northern Pacific Company which have recently been granted American register, were per- mitted to immediately take out naturali- zation papers. These papers enabled the officers to obtain licenses and thus hold their positions. The local organizations assert that In some cases these men, thirty-two in num- ber, were, up to three weeks before the steamers were transferred, members of the British Naval Reserve. Under the Federal law the applicant must swear that he has had his first papers two years, and it is hard to reconclle this fact to the situation of these British officers Just prior to their becoming citizens. It is alleged that one of the witnesses who swore that he had known one of the officers five years had been for three years past fn the Arctic. An affidavit to this effect will be forwarded to Seattle and an attorney has been employed to make a test case In the hope of proving perjury on the part of some of the witnesses. If this can be done the licenses will be re- voked. A striking feature of the case s the fact that the vessels could have come under the American flag long ago, but their owners waited until they could get a register that would enable them to ply in the coast trade. ‘There is no criticism of the abilities of the English officers, but the Americans who follow the same calling emphatically object to the manner in which they ob- tained the right to work under the Amer- ican jack to the exclusion of natives. The contest will be closely watched by sea- faring men on this coast. The steamers in question are the Vic- toria, Tacoma, Olympla and Glengare, 250,000 FREE BREAKFASTS. Here is a new departure. Two hun- dred and fifty thousand breakfasts will be given away free, which means that a great treat is In store for many San Franciscans. The H-O Company of Buffalo, N. Y., has consigned a train- load of cereals to their Pacific Coast agents, Messrs. Wellman, Peck & Co., and they in turn have announced that arrangements have been made with all of the principal grocers of this eity to distribute free to-morrew (Saturday) ninety thousand packages of H-O Buckwheat, a package to be given to each purchaser of one package of H-O Oats (Hornby's Oat Meal). This will be an opportunity of a lifetime. Every family should order early from their grocer, or his solicitor, as the offer is good for to-morrow only. Each pack- age contains ample to supply a good sized family, which means that two hundred and fifty thousand people will to-morrow enjoy a breakfast of good, old fashioned buckwheat cakes, with- out any extra expense. e | UNITY CLUB LECTURE. | Professor David Starr Jordan on “Race Development and the Use of Stimulants.” The second of a series of three lectures was delivered by David Starr Jordan, be- fore the Unity Club at the Second Unitar- | tan Church last night, and a large audi- | ence was charmingly entertained. The | subject was “The Effect of the Use of | Stimulants on Race Development.” The learned lecturer did not agree with some temperance orators that drinking to ex- | cess fastens the craving for drink on the next generation by reason of the bodily erm ‘being constantly bathed in alcohol. “There is no evidence,” said he, *“to sub- stantiate the theory that the descendants should follow in the footsteps of the an- | cestors. The most sober men are pos- sessed ofs children who are drunkards, and there is no increase of drunkards through inheritance. | ““The theory which pervades Tbsen's writings that the sins of the father are visited on the children is true only in part. The sins may be visited onthe children, but not through heredity. If the nervous power is destroyed or fm- paired in the mother by the excessive use of stimulants the child will have less vitality than it would possess under bet- ter conditions. “Certain writers contend that the alco- ADVERTISEMENTS.

The beer drinking of the Germans, he said, caused a severe drain on the nervous system, and that race was more or less lacking in self control, in ability to act in resisting power and athletic force. It is probabie, he continued, that we are reaching the millennium through ngm' which will tend to work us to the dead level of life, and the drink problem would likely never be solved until the end came.

WILLIAM ARMSTRONG, the Chicago critic and essaylist, sald some sound, poignant things about American music and day afternoon in the Columbla Theater, when, in conjunction with Fritz Scheel and the Symphony Orchestra, he gave an illustrated lecture on the subject of *“American Composers.” Mr. Armstrong said that in the creative arts of literature, painting and sculpture the American had made himself felt, but that in the matter of musical composition he was almost unheard and unknown, evel:l in his own country.
