Bourbons in the House Realize That An Investigation of the Troubles in Desperate Steps Must Be Taken to Reunite Their 0ld Party. Bpecial Dispatch to The Call Call Office, Riggs House, Washington, Nov. 12. Democrats are now willing to con- cede the next Hou: ', | \ to the Republi- | cans. There will be no speakership fight | for them now and they have some hope that in the absence of responsibility for legislation they may be able to avoid an open display of their differ- | ences. It is understood, however, that they will not be abie to entirely avoid & controversy over the leadership. Efforts now being made to insure & contest of Bailey’s leadership in cau- cus, with a view of directing the party into a different line of policy from that which Mr. Bailey advocates. The question of foreign poiicy and influence of the Eastern element in the Democ- racy will play an important part, and it is likely that differences of opinion which exist will be displayed almost as prominently as the party were in possession of responsibility. A struggle to infiuence the course of Democracy in the future is aiready toreshadowed, and it appears very probable that there will be a very de- it cided shaking up in the rty between < e il | the United States, now and 150u. The radical siiver men are going to be attacked on two sides.

The Attorney General had another conference with the President this morning in regard to the matter and the conclusion was promptly reached that, as the demonstrations were not directed against the Collector of Customs in the performance of his duties as such, the Government had no | authority under the constitution or laws to exercise its Federal authority.

SAN QUENTIN PRISON, Nov. 12.— When the State Board of Prison Di- rectors went into exec: e session to- day it was to consider a case which, in the language of one of the Directors, “forms one of the most inhuman out- rages ever recorded in the criminal an- | nals of California.” In the opinion of | the board the District Attorney and the Sheriff of San Luis Obispo County are responsible for three boys of good char- acter being railroaded into the peni- tentiary, where they have been for | three months without their parents having the least knowledge of their whereabouts. As told by a Director the acts are as follows: Three months ago Earl Pouseley, only 16 years old and the son of wealthy parents living in Kern County, started ntly. of the tragedy is not 0000000000200 00C00000000C00000C0 Government, it is said, has not a shadow of right to interfere.

Administration officials have no sympathy with the Carolina rioters and regard their acts with ab- horrence, but up to this time, it is said, there is no evidence that would warrant any interference by the Gov- ernment.

They recog- t the probiems confronting the stration in this matter are very cuit, and that no matter how wisely are dealt with the President can- not escape criticism from some quarter nor avoid some embarrassment which might be turned to political advantage by an opposing party. This presents so temp a prospect that some who would not willfully advocate the aban- donment of the free siiver issue are de- voting much more time to its considera- tion than they are to the Chicago plat- form issue.

This | | was a common occurrence, as the late drought resulted in hundreds of horses being turned out to die.

Adele Muller of Santa Bar- bara and a Chicago Man Before Wedding. Specfal Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, Nov. 12.—For the privilege of marrying = Charles Witte and $1000 cash in hand Mrs. Adele Muller of Santa Barbara, Cal, renounces all claims to dower in the estate, real or | personal, of Mr. Witte. A document to this effect was filed in the office of the | Recorder of Cook County and Mr. Witte | Is now at Santa Barbara to marry the | woman of his choice and enjoy a honey- | moon free from all apprehension that | his second matrimonial venture may re- | sult in financial loss to his children by | his first wife. | Charles Witte is a wholesale fish dealer at 58 North Canal street and | resides at 584 Milwaukee avenue. He | has prospered In his business and owns much valuable real estate as well as | bonds and stocks. He is reputed to be worth over $100,000. He is a widower | of 64 and the father of two sons and | three daughters. Some time ago Mr. Witte fell in love with Mrs. Adele Muller and desired to make her the second Mrs. Witte. Hav- ing ideas of his own regarding justice Mr. Witte did not want to imperil the financial future of his children by a | second marriage and in the course of wooing he injected the stipulation that his property was not to be involved in a segond alllance so far as his wife was | concerned. | Mrs. Muller’s action evidently was | above all sordid consideration and a | contract was drawn and duly placed on | the real estate records of Cook County. It is said that Mrs. Muller is the pos- ! sessor of a large estate, so her renun- ciation of a dower right in Mr. Witte's estate will not leave her destitute in the event of Mr. Witte's death. | the boys were of exceptionally good | | families and enjoyed excellent reputa- | tions. The board unanimously adopt- | ed a resolution asking the Governor to pardon the boys immediately. | “This s the most flagrant case I ever | heard of,” said the Director in ques- | tion. “Five or six times men have been | | raflroaded into the State prison from | San Luis Obispo County, but the idea | | of sending boys here for taking an old | | abandoned horse to assist them in | carrying goods a few miles, and even | | failing to mnotify their parents of thelr | whereabouts, i{s something awful. The Grand Jury of San Luis Oblispo County | owes the public the duty of indicting | these cfficials at once.” | MAN-HATING HEIRESS IN NORTHERN WILDS Peculiar Character Found by a San Franciscan in the Omineca Country. VANCOUVER, Nov. 12—Thomas R. More of San Francisco, promoter of the | St. Anthony Mining Company of Califor- nia, returned from a five months’ trip through the wilds of the northern gold district known as Omineca. He purchased for his company, which is composed of San Francisco capitalists, miles of placer ground, and costly hydraulic machinery will soon be sent in to work it. Mr. More had some interesting experi- ences while wandering through Omineca in search of good investments. He says the most pecullar character he met was a half-breed named Bessie, the only child of a Scotchman, who twenty-two years ago married a native. She is heiress to her father's wealth, $50,000, and has never seen a white woman.
