Fearing that she was about to go under at once, an attempt was made to launch her single available boat, and when seven of the luckless seamen had leaped into it it capsized and was smashed against the ship’s side. Six half-drowned men struggled back to the wreck, but Hey- meyer was lost.

The Classic Neighborhood of San An- selmo Disturbed by a Scandal That May Be Aired in the Courts. Specfal Dispatch to The Call. SAN RAFAEL, Dec. 1—Thirteen anonymous letters have thrown the classic neighborhood of San Anselmo into a furor, and resulted in E. J. Mul- verill, who is accused of being their author, being soundly drubbed bv ex- Shert® James Tunsted, who is now in { the real estate business. Three weeks ago Tunsted received an anonymous typewritten letter, stating that while he filled the position of Sheriff he had | “squared” several flagrant cases, that | he was “trying to lift his head from | the slime in which he swam,” and tkat | the people would resent this by pun- | ishing him severely. | Tunsted at once surmised that Mul- verill had written the communication and took steps to learn if such were | true. He steadily refuses to discuss the | affaj». but the facts, as furnished by | an t-+imate friend, are alleged to be as follows: Mulverill came to reside with Mr. Foss, a capitalist of San An- | selmo, about flve years ago. He has made many enemles, the first being Attorney John Richards, who told Foss that he would be a welcome vis- itor but that Mulverill was not wanted at his house. Shortly afterward the lawver received a letter couched in most vituperative language. Then At- torney I. F. Crisp, who is connected with the law firm of Adams & Adams, offended Mulverill, and shortly after- ward that firm recelved an anonymous letter, which warned them against em- | ploying further ‘reprehensible black- guards,” naming Crisp. Next Station Agent Morris fell out with Mulverill, and before long J. B. | Stetson, president of the North Pacific Coast Rallway, was written to and told | that Morris was not attending to his ]‘dmy and should be discharged. This | letter was signed with the name of | Coleman. Tunsted had some words with Seven men could | went by the board. To. make matters | members of her crew and three passen- | gers were drowned. Three survivors, | James, Willlam and Henry E. Banks, who arrived here yesterday on board | the Spanish steamer Rita, were res- cued by a Norwegian steamer off San { x(tagemno. The passengers were Span- | fards. |MYSTERY OF A DEATH . IN A LODGING-HOUSE PATRICK GALLAGHER'S SUS- ‘ PICIOUs DEMISE. Patrick Gallagher, .a 65-year old cattle | dealer from Nevada, died suddenly in a lodging-house at 329 Bush street last ev- ening and the circumstances . surround- ing his demise are so suspicious that the | police are investigating the case to see if the. man was not robbbed and. his | death is not indirectly chargeable to some one. Deputy Coroner Hallett went for the body, and from the fact that he could not find the man's clothing and that there was no money in his possession he immediately became suspicious and no- tifled the police that the case was one worthy of investigation. Detective Crockett and Officer Caples were detalled on the case and made a report that the man died of heart disease. To Hallett Al White, in whose lodging-house Gal- lagher died, stated that the man had no money and that he, White, would see that he was buried. The barkeeper, named Duffy, told the Deputy Coroner that Gallagher had a bank book showing a deposit of between $3000 and $4000 in the Hibernia -Bank. Gallagher came to White's saloon last Sunday night and took a room in the | lodging-house. From that time he stay- | ed in the room drinking and carousin, | untl the time of his death. bar bl of over $100 stands against the dead man at White's saloon, and it 18 =ald that be- sides this he signed checks for something like $800. Deputy Hallett and Officer Caples state that White has levied an attachment on | the bank account through Jake Rauer, | the collector, and it is said that Rauer has the bank book. Mr. White denles that there is anything wrong In the transaction. SUDDEN DEATH OF DR. GEORGE W. RACHEL OVERCOME WHILE LEAVING THE ALCAZAR BUILDING. He Had Just Been Elected Physician for Court Washington, Foresters of America. Dr. George W. Rachel, who has been for many years one of the most promi- nent physicians in the city, dropped dead Jast night, presumably from heart fail- ure. Deceased had been in atteridance at a meeting of Court Washington, Foresters of America, in the Alcazar building, and had just been selected as physician for the lodge. When the meeting adjourned he went into a saloon on the ground floor of the bufldlng and asked the bartender to let him sit down for a few minutes, as he felt weak. He was given a chair in the back room, where he tried to admin- ister a hypodermic injection, but passed away in the act. Dr. Rachel was about 556 years of age and lived with his wife at 1030 Mission street. He has always stuck closely to his_profession, and about the only office he has ever held was that of autopsy sur- con during Coroner Hawkins’ first term. 'he body was taken to Porter & White's undertaking parlors. —_————— Joseph Clark Arraigned. Joseph Clark, the murderer of Joseph P, Gross, assistant foreman of fire engine 5, was taken before Judge Low yesterday morning, and as the prosecution was not ready to proceed the case was conmtinued for a week. Meantiirte: the Coroner’s in- quest will be held. Detective Reynolds, who was detailed on the case, reported to Chief Lees yes- terday that he had called upon TS, Clark at her residence, 716 Green street, and foynd the family happily situated, the children contributing to the general support.. Mrs. Clark is & woman over 4 years of age. She stated that Gross was a boarder at the house, but he did - not n!ees trgra He was a quiet man, who minded his own busines and never over. stepped the bounds of propriety. Wny her husband should have been jealous of him wag a mystery to her. In the neithorhood Clark was known as a quarrelsome, drunkard, who desert- ed his family three years ago and failed to comtribute to flu& support, 5 Mulverill and shortly afterward re- | ceived the letter referred ta.in the fore- | going. | " A week ago last | Tunsted and the friend who furnishes | this information went down to the sta- tion to get the evening paper. There they met Mulverill, and Tunsted in- quired why he had sent him such a letter. According to this witness, Mul- verill replied that it was none of his business, and, stooping, picked up a handful of sand and threw it in the ex-Sheriff’s face. Tunsted then grabbed | hold of Mulverill’'s nose and slapped him in no gentle manner. Mulverill is alleged to have begged for mercy, and informed his castigator that he had re- ceived the information contained in the letter from George D. Shearer, a real estate dealer in this city. He was per- mitted to leave after what was re- garded as a tacit admission of his guilt, the only fact in the case which Tunsted himself will give out for publication, An attempt was made to interview | Mulverill and Foss this evening, but no response was elicited by loud and re- | peated knocking at the door of Mr. Foss' residence, though a lady living opposite said they were undoubtedly at home. To others Mulverill has denied his guilt. | George D. Shearer, who is also in the real estate business, was a partner of ex-Sheriff Tunsted eleven years ago. ‘When seen this evening he said: “Mr. Mulverill is a correspondent of several Eastern papers and a perfect gentle- man. I frequently dine with him and Mr. Foss and they with me. He is per- fectly innocent of the charge of writing these letters. He tells me that when Tunsted assaulted him the lantern he was carrying was kicked out of his hand, and that he was felled to the ground and repeatedly kicked, his as- sailant exclaiming at the same time: ‘I'll bet you got that pack of lies from Shearer.” The end of this thing is not vet, you mark my words for that.” Tunsted has placed all the evidence he holds in the possession of his attor- ney, James W. Keyes, and threatens a suit at law. He has also shown the letters to Postoffice Inspector Monroe, and if he can prove that Mulverill is| the author of the communications that | have caused the trouble will endeavor to have him prosecuted for a misuse of the malls. Mulverill also threatens suit, and, taken all in all, a lively time is ahead for all the participants in the affair. Attorney Keyes asserts that he is in a position to know that the in- formation furnished The Call regarding the affair is correct, and that if it comes | to a suit at law Mulverill will be the sufferer. J. 8. Mulveri]ll came to this coast about nine years ago. It is said that he was a clerk in the Gilsey House, New York, and it is not known why he left there. He was at one time employed on the Hotel Gazette in this city. It| is reported that he got “the ax” and for a time drifted around with noth- ing to do. Through Fred O. Stanton, at one time chief clerk at the Palace, Mulverill met Foss who is a wealthy old bachelor. He amassed a fortune back in the East through his mining interests. Stanton was a protegé of Foss’. Mulverill thought he saw a good thing in Foss. and began to make up to him and at the same time to give Stanton the “back tap” until he seuc- ceeded in undoing him in Foss’' favor and ingratiating himself in his place. The residents of San Anselmo declare, so it is reported, that Mulverill has hypnotized Foss. It is said that th: two on one occasion had a fight and that Mulverill struck Foss in the face, knocking out an eye. * Despite this Mul- verill stfll retains his influence and pull .with: the old man, and Wwhat he says is law so far as Foss is concerned.

Pressure Brought to Bear to Secure Legislation That May Deprive Tax-Dodging Companies of Much Business. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. Call Office, Riggs House, Washington, Dec. 1. Members of Congress are being del- uged with petitions from commercial bodies of various cities and towns in favor of the passage by Congress at the coming session of a bill establishing a cheap “‘parcels post,” intended to com- pete with express companies, which are not in good odor because they have en- deavored to evade the payment of the war revenue tax. The movement In favor of a cheap ‘‘parcels post” orig- inated in the East, but, judging from the letters and petitions received by Western members of Congress, the far West is also aroused. Packages are now sent through the malls as “merchandise,” as everybody knows, but the rates are higher than ADVERTISEMENTS. ! Boys! 0w get one of those Cameras Friday and Sat- wrday, free withyowr pur- chase. Yow know they’re not a toy. They’re a Camera that will take a first-class picture. * What Can Be Termedsssssseses f& Classical Juyenile Event Occurs Friday and Sate urday on our Second Floor. It will be a high- class sale of high-class garments—holiday gar- ments. the express companies charge. It |is proposed to make the rates for postage packages as low or lower than the ex- press companies. This system is in vogue in England and various Conti- | nental countries and is very popular. Several members of Conrress have prepared bills on this subject, which they will present on the opening day. It is considered doubtful, however, whether the Postoffices and Postroads Committee will act at once on such measures, for the Postoffice Department is of the opinion that the transporta- tion of such packages would, under present conditions, prove to be a losing investment. There is an annual deficit in the Postoffice Department. The ex- penditures have for many years been far in excess of the receipts. chief among theé reasons being the fact that railroads have resorted to fraudulent practices when malil is weighed at cer- tain intervals, on which is based yearly contracts. The mails are also burden- ed with free matter. and a certain class of printed matter classed as ‘“periodi- cals” is allowed to go at a cheaper rate than it should. All of these abuses will be called to the attention of Congress by a special committee, of which Congressman Loud is chairman. The Postoffice De- partment is of the opinion that if the Loud biil regulatine second-class postal matter is passed the postal receipts may equal expenditures. “In this case,” says First Assistant Postmaster General Heath, “Congress will undoubtedly pass a cheap parcels post bill.” OF INTEREST TO THE COAST.

SWIFT RIDERS TO ENTER MATCH BETWEEN STEVENS AND DOWNING ON CARD. Some of the Best Known Cyclers on the Coast Will Compete and Great Sport May Be Expected. Special Dispatch to The Call SAN JOSE, Dec. 1.—Preparations for the great midwinter race meet to take place under the auspices of the Garden City Wheelmen at Cyclers: Park on Monday, January 2, are being rapidly pushed, and the indications are that it will be even more successful than the meet given by the wheelmen on Sep- tember 9. The race meet committee, with Joseph A. Desimone as chairman and Robert J. Butler as secretary, has already or- ganized, and the work of arranging de- tails and advertising the event has begun. The principal attraction will be the match race between the two profes- sionals, Orlando L. Stevens, McFar- land’s riding mate, and the fastest short-distance sprinter in the world, and Hardy Downing, whose fame as a plucky and speedy rider has already spread throughout the State. The race will be mile heats, best two out of three, and a purse of $250 'has been hung up as an attraction. Kid Down- ing wants to go East next season on the national circuit and to win this race would mean much to him. Both riders are training daily on the cement track, assisted by a number of pacemakers. “There will be two competition races, a one-mile open and a one-mile-handi- cap. It is the desire of the race pro- moters to make the mile open a cham- pionship event in whica case it is prob- able that Hill and Fizman of Los An- geles would enter. 2 Cabby Cotter, the amateur champion of the Northwest, has arrived in this city, and he, too, commenced active training. Cotter says he will make it warm for some of the California riders, and it is more than likely that he will do_so. Jack Wing, a resident of this city, but a member of the Olympic Club, has challenged Bunt Smith for a match race on that day with a side bet of $35. In case Smith refuses to accept the challenge is open to any Pacific coast amateur. It is very probable that Smith and Wing will ride, and this will undoubtedly prove to be a drawing card. Floyd McFarland will give a mile ex- hibition. He is greatly interested in the meet and is doing all that he can to make it a success. The indications are that a large num- ber of San Francisco riders will enter elther one or both -of the amateur events. MRS.
