According to both Vidal and an intimate friend of | the deceased, who is a resident of this | city, the woman is of American ancestry, | not ‘Spanish, and for a while lived with Mrs. Carmelita Boyle of Mill Valley, who was Reed’'s half-sister. It was at the house of Mrs. Boyle, according to these two, that the little girl was born.

Storey was legally elected Mayor ol Lot ayor of Portland by the e Labor Council Stands Firm. The Labor Councll at its meeting last night declined to recede from its former position on the bond issue for the Park Panhandle. The cause which led the council to reaffirm its previous position Was a communication from Gustave Schnee, secretary of the Progressive As- soclation, which has the bond issue at heart, asking that a committes from his o;;:mln.lton be allowed to appear before the council and explain the benefits to be derived from the park extension. The councll, in answer to this request, reaflirmed its previous vote condemning the bond issue for the panhandle, but sup- ported the issue for the schools, sewers and hospital, and In conclusion Invited Mr, Schnee to hire a hall in which a pub- lic debate of the issue could be had. The Labor Council promised to furnish s > ers who will be prepared to combat Mr. Schnee's views. A delegation from the ?unk dealers were present asking for affiliation.

DISASTROUS DAY FOR MOLINELX Numerous Triumphs for the Prosecution. e Special Dispatch to The Call. | NEW YORK, Dec. 8.—Several interest- | ing points developed to-day in connee- tion with the trial of Roland B. Molineux | for the murder of Mrs. Katherine J. Ad- ams. First there was the capture of an important witness for the prosecution. Mamie Mullands, the young woman who cared for Molineux’s rooms at Newark. Through a ruse on the part of detectives she was induced to cross the State line from New Jersey to Suffern, | New York, and when once within the jurisdiction of the New iork State au- thorities she was placed under arrest and brought to New York City. It is sald she will be placed on the stand by the State and compelled to testify that Mol- ineux was accustomed to use the now | famous biue paper surmounted by three | interlaced crescents. This same paper made its appearance in the case later in the day, when George | Willlam Hall of Moodus, Conn., was called to testify concerning a letter which fell into the possession of his em- ployer, Professor Fowler. The witness said that James Burns of Detroit, Mich., sold a great many letters to Professor Fowler, who dealt in medical remed that the signature “Roland B. Molineux" | was noticed, and the New York authori- ties were notified of the find. % The defense admitted the identity of | this letter as having been written by the defendant. This is considered an im- portant point, owing to the fact that it was written upon blue paper, with the crescents, and the defense has acknowl- edged the writing of it. The legal battles to-day ranged around the question of expert and the admissibility of han “not disputed.” Attorney Weeks fought bravely for his client, but in the end the rosecution triumphed, the Recorder say- ng that the court would be forced to consider the exhibits as being in the handwriting of the defendant unless the testimony of the witness, Expert Kins- ey, should be impeached or contradicted by the defense In some manner. It seemed to be a day of victories for the prosecution, for the specimens of hand- writing written by Molineux before his arrest and at the time Cornish was under suspicion were admitted, as was also the dlagnosis of a blank of a patent medicine concern with the blanks fllled out in handwriting, sald to be the same as that of the other letters in evidence and signed “H. C. Barnet.” In the face of strenuous objections Expert Kinsley was permitted to testify that in his opinion Molineux wrote the address on the poison package sent to Harry Cornish. DRIVEN INSANE BY THE GHGST OF HER HUSBAND OAKLAND, Dec. 8.—Constantly recur- ring remembrances of the death of her husband, which occurred nearly fifteen years ago, and laboring under the bellef that he was burled alive, and the horror of his ghost following her wherever she ®&oes, is given as the cause that unhinged the mind of Mrs. Anna Geuder, who, after wandering about, sleeping in grave- yards and trying to starve herself to death, attempted to commit sulcide yesterday afternoon by jumping off the wharf at Emeryville. The unfortunate woman was examined for Insanity to-day and was committed by Judge Greene to the asylum at Stock- ton. She had previously declared that her husband was follgwing her and hounding her until she could stand it no longer. To-day, however, her daughter, Mrs. Lii- lie Dawson of San Francisco, in com- ny with several friends, called 4t the ceiving Hospital and stated that Wil- liam Geuder, the husband, had died nearly fifteen years ago, and that constant wor- rying over the sad event had finally re- sulted in breaking the mother down men- tally, and that the mother frequently imagines that the spirit or ghost of her husband haunts and follows ler wher- ever she goes. Mrs. Geuder, it appears too, had left her home, 13 Dolores street, San Fran- cisco, about two weeks ago, and her rela- tives have since been searching for her in every quarter, finaily locating her through a telephone message sent to the daughter b “fi" of the Insane Page at the Recelving Hospital. Mrs. Geuder seemed somewhat calmed to-day and no ionger refuses to partake of substantial food, but she still insists that her husband was buried alive by the Schuetzen Varellu fifteen years ago and that his ghost is constantly after her. The doctors give out little hopes of har ever recovering her reason. Ladies Elect New Officers.

There have been war dramas without number, but they have all proved ephemeral but this, which fact is un- questionably due to the clever crafts- | manship of its author, Bronson Howard. His construction .is eminently skiliful, and if there be fault to find it {s upon the score that his abllity should be perverted to dramatic ideals that are not of the highest, “Shenandoah” is a play for the people | and as such it is a masterplece. It makes no demand upon one's intellectual facul- ties, but is oftered rather as an enter- tainment that is sure to entertain. Its literate merit undoubtedly contributes to this end, but it seems a pity that the ert of the playwright should ie S0 embar- rassed by tawdry clap-lm& cheap senti- ment and circus effects. But as it is, .t is—love, .loyalty, cannons, musketry, horses and all. ~ Alas, however, it is de- ficient, too, in historical accuracy and it has (more's the pity) In common with those purveyors of error, school histories, a ’pzrnlcloul effect upon the uninquiring mind. The motif of the play is of course Sher- | idan’s famovs, ride, that ride which is a heritage to ‘American patriotism, but | which, in spite of poet and playwright, never really took place. But my censor- ship is not of historians, but rather of actors, which, were 1 to exercise it with regard to the present production of “She- nandoah,” would give me work a plenty. Mr. Cooper's acting of Captain Heartsease is not without merit, though perhaps too much of a caricature, and Otis Tanner as Sergeant Barkett is unobjectionable. The rest, however, are scattered throughout the wide expznse of mediocrity, though with the single exception 0? Caroline Franklin as Mrs. Haverill they are not unforgivingly bad. | The dialogue is bright and the scenic effects well contrived. There is overmuch of the battle scene, which becomes weari- some and one does not readily forget or f(\r%l\'e the fumes thereof. But “Shenan- doah” draws and “Shenandoah” enter- talns, so a ce to ecriticlsm, and tru the red, white and blue!” RTER GARNETT. ““He That is Angry Is Seldom at Ease.” This is true, also, of the person who has rheumatism, which is a most annoy- ing and painful disease.
