The Sheriff was bus with other matters at the courthouse and said it would be impossible for him to leave there. Patrick Mulcahey, a ditch tender on the Excelsior ditch, dropped into town to-day and reported having seen a man answering Moore's description travel- ing along the ditch last Tuesday morn- ing. Mulcahey fed the stranger and he went his way after which Mulcahey, like others, became convinced that he had discovered Moore. citizer ined to believe that Mulcahey “pipe” vision was born of a sweet jangling of bells aloft, and little atten- tion was pald to his story. Captain Nihell of the National Guards and his posse are still search- | ing for the fugitive in the lower end of the county, in the vicinity where | Rancher Nettleship is supposed to have seen Moore. A man named O'Neil re- ported to Captain Nihell's posse to-day | that he had been driven out of an old cabin at the point of a pistol by a | stranger answering Moore’s description. | This incident occurred Monday night, | a few miles from the point where Net- tleship says he saw Moore on Tuesday | morning.

Sheriff Getchell, when seen by a Call correspondent to-night, said he did not intend to give up the search. “I have good reason to believe that the fugitive is making his way south in the direc- where he was seen by Rancher | Nettleship.

EUREKA, April 6.—Surfmen Erick- son and Swanson of the life saving sta- tion, while patrolling the beach last night, found the body of Alfred Soy- land, one of the seamen of the Chilkat. It was partly buried in the sand and there were numerous cuts on the head and face. The body W attired only in underclothing and socks. At the inquest to-day First Officer Johnson of the Chilkat testified as fol- | low " We left the railroad wharf at about | 10:15 a. m., Tuesday, April 4, 1899. We steamed along down the bay to the jet- | ties. The North Fork went over the bar a little ahead of us. The first| breaker that struck us stove in the pilothouse and carried away the steer- ing gear. I ordered relieving tackle put on the tiller. By the time the tackles were put on she had no headway and she went broadside to the sea. “Then we got two or three breakers which broke her all to pieces. The cap- tain ordered the life preservers on all those aboard. There were plenty of life preservers, but all of those aboard did not put them on. We then launched one boat which the engineer, as: engineer, a fireman, steward, a sailor and one passenger, in all six, got into | and pulled out over the bar to the | steamer North Fork. We then launched another boat in which myself, the sec- ond mate, cook, a fireman and one pas- senger got into, and then we pulled | around the wreck and picked up an- other passenger. Then we got a breaker and capsized. When we came up we ound a raft and climbed onto it. We then got several more breakers and urned over several times, and finally lost the raft. We then got scattered | about. We caught hold of a floating | piece of timber whenever we could and | at last myself and two others reached the beach. “I saw the captain bailing out his boat when it upset, and he was thrown into the water, and I saw him™climb upon some wreckage, and I saw an- other sailor sitting with him. We then got several breakers again in succes- sion and that was the last I saw of I have viewed the body of the de- ceased and know him to be Alford Soy- land, a sailor on the Chilkat. His age was about 21 years, and he was born in Norway and was a single man. He haa heen on the Chilkat three times, | about forty days the last time. The | men at the wheel were not hurt.” At low tide the Chilkat is fully ex- posed, keel up, bottom not broken and | propeller intact. She will be sold at | auction by the underwriters. This afternoon the life saving crew went out and made a thorough search for more bodles in the bight where Soyland was found, but with no suc- cess. ‘W. C.

STOCKTON, April 6.—A sensational encounter took place last evening on | San Joaquin street between Attorney | C. H. Fairall and Thomas Fitch Jr., son and namesake of .hls eloquent | father. Attorney Fairall has but one hand. This misfortune is due to pistol | wounds inflicted by Fitch last summer, when he emptied a revolver at the un- | armed lawyer on a public thorough- fare. But with this remaining hand of | his strong right arm Fairall turned on | Fitch last evening and delivered a pow- | erful blow square in the face of his for- | mer assailant, sending him upon his| back in the gutter. The lawyer walked calmly away, and was soon engaged in a conversation with a friend a short distance from where he had left ne object of his wrath. The trouble arose between lhe‘ two when Fairall became the attorney for Mrs. Fitch in her suit for divorce. The defendant claimed that the law- yer had been interested in his affairs in more than a professional capacity. All of the interested parties were at the time guests of the Budd House. | Fitch was known to be possessed of a | vivid imagination and an ungovernable | temper, and his avowals of vengeance were shown to be more than mere rav- Fairall. As it was the lawyer lost his left hand. Some sympathy was felt for Fitch, as | many thought he had worked his mind into such a state that he was not ac- countable for his attempt at murder. He got off with a fine. Since then he has been around town, seemingly as a man of leisure. Fairall naturally met or passed him frequently. The at- torney, says it has been Fitch's custom ta glare at him as the two approached, and when nearly opposite to glance at his empty sleeve and then give a sar- castic leer. The lawyer sald human nature cculd not stand the continued insults delivered by unmistakable in- sinuation and manner and in cruel malice. Last evening the worm turned and Fitch went down. The trouble i§ now reopened, and there are many who predict a tragedy. Fitch has lost much of the former sym- pathy shown him, and Fairall is evi- dently of the opinion that patience has ceased to be a virtue. Fitch applied for a warrant for Fairall's arrest, but it was refused him, pending .a further investigation of the encounter by the Prosecuting Attorney. STEPHEN CASTRO GIVEN A DRUBBING SALINAS, April 6.—Another chapter in the aftermath of the breaking up of the Mafia nine which made itself notorious re- cently in Castroville by terrorizing the whole community by bold robberies and assaults was brought to light to-day in that place. James Douglass, the hus- band of the woman who was attacked at her own home on the night of March 2, clubbed into insensibility and dragge come distance and hidden in a brush pile and supposedly left for dead, met Stephen Castro, a well-known citizen of that place. on the public street this morning and gave him a severe drubbing. He clubbed Castro on the head with a pistol and would have probably used it otherwise had he not been prevented by a crowd of citizens that assembled when the encoun- ter occurred. Castro has had Douglass arrested, and from assertions made by eye-witnesses as well as others who pro- fess to be cognizant of the affair this | Captain Crozier, DELEGATES 10 THE PEACE CONEERENCE America Will Tell the World That It Needs Stronger Armament. MORE GUXS AND SHIPS American Commission Is Thought to Be a Very Strong One. Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. R R R NEW YORK, April 6.—A Wash- Ington special to the Herald says: The President has approved the instructions to the peace confer- ence delegation which have been prepared at the State Depart- ment. It is the intention of the administration to announce that the present armament of the United States, both military and naval, is far below that which the size of the country demands for its own protection. The administration, while tak- ing little interest in disarmament plans, will look with favor on the scheme for international arbitra- tion which will be presented. In fact, it is the expectation of the authorities that the only satis- factory agreement the confer- ence will reach will be along the lines of international arbitra- tion. PSR AR s PR A e s e S e e WASHINGTON, April 6.—The Secre- tary of State has announced the consti- tution of the United States delegation to the disarmament congress, which will meet at The Hague in the latter part of May. The delegation consists of Andrew D. White, United States Embassador at Berlin; Mr. Newell, United States Min- ister to the Netherlands; Professor Low of the Columbia University, New York; Ordnance Depart- United States army, and Cap- % + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + 3 % 3¢ 3¢ 3 % ment, tain A. T. Mahan, retired, United States | navy. Frederick Holls of New York will be secretary of the delegation. The American commission, as a whole, is regarded as an exceptionally strong body, being made up of men well known not only in public and political life but in the world of letters and in- ternational affairs. They are all men of scholarship, fine linguists and those attainments helpful in a congress rep- resenting the nations of the world, con- ducted under the diplomatic usage which makes French the accepted lan- guage. Mr. White is best known in the flelds of education and diplomacy. After graduating at Yale, class of '53, he went to Europe for several years of historic study, mainly at Berlin and Paris. For a time he was an attache of the United States Legation at St. Petersburg. Re- turning to this country, he began his university career as professor of Eng- lish literature at the University of Michigan. Later he became the first president of Cornell, his service con- tinuing from 1867 to 1885, when he re- tired through ill health. He was United States Commissioner to San Domingo in 1871. From 1879 to 1881 he was Minister to Germany, again taking this impor- tant post under President McKinley. During the administration of Mr. Cleve- land Mr. White was chosen as one of the Venezuelan commissioners at the time when the affair was at its most critical stage. He was also Minister to Russia in 1892. Seth Low also is known as an edu- cator as well as a man of public af- fairs. He was graduated from Colum- bia University, whose president he be- came in 1890, later giving $1,000,000 for university buildings. He was Mayor of Brooklyn in 1881 and again in 1883, his service being marked by numerous re- forms. Stanford Newell was appointed Min- ister to the Netherlands from Minne- sota. His selection as one of the dele- gates was expected because he was Minister resident at The Hague, where the congress is to be held. Captain Willlam C. Crozier is one of the most highly accomplished of the officers of the ordnance corps, which is generally recognized as containing the very highest grade of talent in the United States army. No name is better known to students of naval strategy than that of Captain Alfred T. Mahan, sailor, strategist and author. Captain Mahan was born in New York and appointed an active midshipman in the United States navy in Septemher, 1856. He reached the grade of lieutenant at the outbreak of the civil war in 1861, became a com- mander in 1871 and a captain on Sep- tember 23, 1883. He retired November 3, 1893. His last command was that of the Chicago, then on the European station, and he retired upon his own application in order to pursue the lit- erary work which has made him fam- ous. His most important contribution to literature is “The Influence of Sea Power Upon History.” HOBART WILL SOON RETIRE FROM POLITICS So “McKinley and Roosevelt” May Head the Next National Re- publican Ticket. ° ‘WASHINGTON, April 6.—There is con- siderable anxiety in political circles con- cerning Vice President Hobart’s health, The impression obtains that he is in a much more serious condition than has been reported. Mr. Hobart's physician has ordered him to take a vacation of at least six months. It has not been decided whether he will go to Europe or to Cali- fornia. “I am satisfied,” said one of Mr. Ho- bart's friends to-day, “that he will not be a candidate for a second term as Vice President next year. Mr. McKinley and all his friends are anxious to have him on the Presidential ticket again, but Mr. Hobart’s health will preclude his accept- ing the honor. He has led a very active life and Is completely broken down. It js his intention, I understand, to retire both from politics' and business as soon as pos- sible.” The withdrawal of Mr. Hobart from the political arena will necessitate the selec- tion of a new running mate for Mr. Mc- Kinley next year, It is said that Senator Hanna had an idea that “McKinley and late trouble will cause further develop- ments in the Mafia gang. Roosevelt” would make a strong combi- lmthm. D N e T0 CRUSH THE ASSASSINS Four Hundred Armed Men Go to Battle With Louis- iana Desperadoes. POSSES DRIVEN OFF They Return for Reinforcements, and a Battle Royal inthe South- ern Swamps Expected. Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. NEW ORLEANS, April 6.—Four hundred men armed with rifles, a large portion of them mounted, are scouring the parishes of Tangipahoa and Wash- ingtor in search of men who receutly assassinated Mr. Magee, of the Ban- ner Lumber Company, at Kentwood, in Tangipahoa. Magee’s assassination is one of a dozen that have occurred in the parish, and it seems to have at last aroused the law and order element. Bloodhounds were obtained and the trail of the assassins followed. Since then the parish has been like an armed camp. Several posses set out for the desperadoes, who are led by Bambert and Gill. They have been several times arrested for murder. The desperadoes were found, but fortified themselves in a house and drove off the posse, which returned to Tangipahoa for reinforce- ments. The desperadoes retreated into Wash- | ington Parish, where some forty or fifty of them assembled in a house fifteen miles east of Franklinton. They have since taken refuge in a swamp on Pearl River on the boundary line of Louisia- na and Mississippi. These swamps will be searched to- morrow, and a battle royal is expected. There is a strong determination to crush out the brigands, who have so long terrorized that section. MYSTERY CONNECTED WITH CONLON'S DEATH Affairs of the Deceased Semi-Million- aire Being Rushed by Mrs. Abbie Kinnes. SAN JOSE, April 6.—There is an in- creasing mystery surrounding the death of John P. Conlon, the semi-millionaire of New York City, which resulted from apoplexy here yesterday morning. Mrs Abbie Kinnes, who occupied the relatio ship of niece and adopted daughter, be- sides passing as Mrs. Conlon, refuses to give out any information regarding the deceased. She, however, states that all of Conlon’'s property has been left to her. At the same time she admits she has a cousin who, but for his wild escapades, would have come in for equal inheritancs. Mrs. Kinnes will start East to-morrow. She appears to have an unlimited amount of cash and has spared no expense in funeral arrangements. A $500 casket has been purchased from W. L. Woodrow, the undertaker, and other appointments for the deceased are of the same costly or- der. The body has been embalmed and will be shipped East to-morrow morning. 1t is consigned to George Kendrick, un. dertaker, 214 Broadway, Brooklyn, N. Y. This was done on telegraphic instructions from New York. Mrs. Kinnes to-day engaged Attorneys Tuttle and Patton to look after her in- terests, and spent most of the day with them. 'No will was found among Conlon's effects, but it is said stch an instrument lies in the vault of an Eastern bank. The only other relative of Conlon is a nephew lwarlmé his name, but he has been disowned and disinherited. Although her adopted father e her much property, it is said Mrs nes has_deeds of r cent date to valuable New York real es- tate. These she seems anxious to rush into record before the nephew can taks steps to secure his share. Her attorneys refuse to discuss affairs, but assert that their ciient is all she professes to be in regard to relationship to Tonlon. Mrs. Kinnes submitted to a short inter- view to-night, and then unceremoniously bounced the reporters. She tells several conflicting stories. She says John P. Con- lon inherited his wealth from his fathes who bore the same name, and was a ship- builder and contractor. ' Conlon’s wealth she estimates at over $00,000, consisting of tenement houses and warehouses in New York City. She refused to tell where the property was located, and finally said she "did not know, as the janitor, who had been in her uncle's employ for half a century, attended to the business. Two vears ago she and her uncle kept house at 437 One Hundred and Twenty-third street, New York, and at other times stopped at various hotels. This was the only address she would give. Mrs. Kinnes said her husband was Andrew Kinnes, an employe of the New York Custom- bouse. She denfed being the adopted daughter, as well as niece of the dead man, but she showed to the undertaker a certificate of adoption. Mrs. Kinnes sald her uncle and herself were the only two remaining relatives of the family and had traveled together for seven years.

A VIGTIM STRONG FORCE |MANUEL ROSSAS OF SAN QUENTIN METHODS Gruel Jreatment Prisoner's the Cause of the Death, Not “|nanition.” SAN QUENTIN PRISON, April 6.— Manuel Rossas, the Portuguese negro who was thumped into insensibility and placed in a straitjacket for assaulting Guard Randolph, died yesterday. In the death certificate the cause of the prisoner’s death is given as “inanition,” but if the words of reliable guards at the prison are to be belleved, it was a case of too much straitjacket and too little medical attention. As the time draws near when Hale | is to be deposed the mouths of the guards begin to give forth strange tales, and the case of Rossas is not the least of them. In the middle of February last Rossas refused to take his proper place in the line for the chapel, and finally attacked Guard Randolph. Help for Randolph arrived in the person of Guard Henry Moller, who knocked Rossas senseless with a | cane at Captain Edgar's command. The convict was then placed in a strait- Jjacket in the dungeon. At that time he was a magnificent specimen of physical manhood, over six feet in height and 250 pounds in weight. Soon ugly rumors were circulated that the man was dying from his injuries and lack of medical attention. Both Dr. Lawlor, the prison physician, and ‘Warden Hale were interviewed by The Call correspondent, and both declared Rossas was shamming, and that this was conclusively proved by the mirror and match tests. However, they took the precaution to place the injured con- vict in the hospital. Yesterday he died, j and Warden Hale attempts to justify the verdict of “inanition” by asserting Rossas would not eat, and died of starvation. Rossas was in a state of coma from the time he was placed in the dungeon until he died. The death of this man under such peculiar eir- cumstances following upon the pub- | licity given the inhuman treatment ac- | corded eight convicts upon the word ‘}ot a stool pigeon afterward discredited | has caused Hale to be criticized in un- measured terms by his own men. and | Dr. Lawlor is not highly complimented. | Inanition is his favorite reason for a | death, even in a case of death by the | use of opium. On account of being so | indefinite_ a word it is said to have | also met Hale’s favor. FRAUDS MAY NOT BE INVESTIGATED Stockton Ballot Jugglers Likely to Escape. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. STOCKTON, April 6.—It developed to-day that when the Grand Jury ad- journed last evening it was until the | 15th of May, and not till to-day, when it was supposed the investigation of the alleged ballot-box continued.- As the Republican conven- tion assembles Monday the proceeding the jury may take will come after the excitement of the convention and elec- tion is over. There is considerable criticism and speculation over the jury’s action, as a large body of citizens insist that the frauds, if any were actually perpetrated, should be probed without fear or favor. The contesting delegation in the Third Ward, accord- ing to report, will not carry their case to the Superior Court, but will demand recognition in the convention. As the new law does not empower conventions to pass on such matters the announce- ment is equivalent to an abandonment of the contest. District Attorney Ashley refuses to state whether any action will be taken by him in the matter or not, answering all questions with the reply that his tongue is tied by law. William Purcell and Frank Tuttle, who are said by Watson to have been present when an attempt was made by Eckstrom to hush the matter by getting Visher to help him out, stoutly deny that they were present at any such meeting. They say Watson is trying to implicate them in the case. The friends of Eckstrom and Patterson are active in their behalf and assume to | make light of the charges. The City Clerk was busy to-day mak- ing out certificates of election for dele- gates of both parties. They are issued in the same form as certificates of elec- tion to office. The delegates must pre- sent them at the convention and on so doing become members of a legally con- stituted body. A committee on creden- tials in the convention will no longer be necessary. “SANTIAGO” MORPHY AGAIN IN THE TOILS The Fugitive Mexican Embezzler Captured by Two Detectives at Kansas City. KANSAS CITY,Mo., Aprils. antiago’ Morphy, alias “Mexican Morphy,” who is well known in horse racing circles throughout this country and who is want- ed in Mexico on a charge of embezzling $70,000 from a Mexican bank, was arrested here to-day by Detectives Sanderson and Schulz. Morphy was captured at the Stratford House at Eighth and Holmes streets, where he says he has been for five weeks, The detectives had located Morphy and were waiting for him when he stepped out of the office door. He recognized Schulz and ran into_the barroom and back into the office and up the stairs. The officers were close at his heels, and caught him as he reached the third floor. There is a reward of $500 for Morphy's arrest, which Schulz and Sanderson will divide. Morphy was arrested in New Orleans on January 14 and turned over to a Mexi{- can officer. In broad daylight on a crowd- ed street six of Morphy’'s friends sur- rounded the pair while the officer was taking his prisoner to the depot. One of them felled the officer to the walk with a blow from a slungshot and Morphy jumped into a waiting carriage and es- caped. His friends mingled with the crowd and also escaped. stuffing would be | [ i A BOLD PLAY T0 GET SAILORS Boy From California Is Shanghaied. | TACOMA, Wash., April 6.—A special | from Port Townsend states that war- rants for the arrest of J. Norris and Willlam Scott for attempting to shang- hai Alex Benson, Ray Hubbard and Thomas Saunders on the British bark Kate F. Troop, are in the hands of Deputy United States Marshal Strin- ger, who for three days past has been looking for them. Norris and Scott are | sailor boarding house men. Benson had just arrived in Seattle from Bakers- field, Cal, and was looking for em- ployment. On Sunday morning he was approached by Norris and Scott and asked if he wanted work, stating that they were looking for men to go to Blakeley to work in a lumber yard. Benson replied that he would accept the job, and with a number of others was taken to Blakeley, where the bark Troop was being towed out of the har- bor. Their launch circled around the vessel until she had got outside the harbor, when it ran alongside and made fast. The men were ordered aboard. All complied except Benson, when he was struck on the head and one of the outfit drew a gun and threatened to kill him. During the scuffie his blankets | were put aboard and, fearing for his life, he went aboard and the launch | started for Seattle. | When British Consul Rothschild went | aboard the Troop, Benson and two | others refused to ship, and they were | ordered ashore. Benson claims that Norris and Scott landed them two miles from town. teli- | ing them they could secure work near | there, also that if they came across to Port Townsend they would be killed. | Later they went to Port Townsend and | laid_the matter before Chaplain Terry, | of the Seamen’s Bethel, who had war- rants issued for Scott and Norris. They | had left before Deputy Marshal Strin- | g:r arrived from Seattle to arrest them. > APTOS BRIDGE SCANDAL. Trial of Elwell for an Alleged At- tempt at Bribery. SANTA CRUZ, April 6.—The trial of F. D. Elwell on a charge of attempted brib- ery was resumed in the Superior Court to-day. N. Mosher, the principal witness | for the prosecution, failed to remember | some material facts. In substance Mosher testified that Elwell met him and said, “What are you going to do with us?" Mosher replied, “I'm protecting myself in this competition.” Referring to the Aptos bridge plans, Elwell said, ‘‘There's $250 | in it to straighten out.”” Mosher repliea that he did not want to commit perjury. Elwell said he did not ask him to; that he would pav, Mosher what his testimony was worth, not less than $100. Mosher admitted that subsequently the Supervi. | sors advertised for new bridge plans, and | his only were submitted. "He testified | that in the conversation with Elwell the | Supervisors on the proposed investiga- tion were not mentioned. No witnesses to the conversation or money were produced by Elwell. Attorney Lindsay asked Judge Smith to instruct the jury to acquit, owing to the faflure of the prosecution to substantiate the allegations. The case will go to the jury to-morrow.
