District general, gener:1 presidents Williatn M CHICAGO, Feb. 22.—Further investiga- tion of the death of Salvatore de Giovan- ni, who was found murdered on Grand avenue last evening, has convinced the police that the murder was the result of a carefully arranged plot, carried out un- der the orders af a secret Italian society. The theory of the police is that Giovan ni was murdered to prevent his appear ance in a murder trial in New York. Let- ters found in the murdered man's pockets show that he had been summoned East | for this purpose. The Mafia soclety Is mentioned in the case, but as yet the po lice have no evidence directly implicating that soclety with the murder. Jose Mo- rico, one of the men arrested last night, wound ih the mouth, is believed to have done the killing. Carlo Battisto, who came to Chicago from New York last Fri- day and spent much of his time in the ! company of Glovanni, is also under ar- | rest. A clew to the reason for the mur- | der was found among the letters in De Glovanni’s pocket. One of these letters, written by 2 man in 8t. Louis, spoke of a murder committed on Mulberry street, New York, to which Giovann! was a wit- ness. 1t also developed during the day that Giovanni was 2 member of several socle- ties and had many enemfies. In connection with the murder, the sa loon of Frank Moricl, at 57 Grand avenue, was raided by the police to-day and th proprietor al ten inmates were placed | nnder arrest. A Silent Force.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.—Senator Mor- i gan of the Committee on Foreign Rela- | tions has made a minority report upon | the resolution declaring that the ratifica- tion of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty is not | & condition precedent to the construction | of the Nicaragua canal, and that the United States work regardiess of the existence of the | Clayton-Bulwer agreement. The commit- tee made an adverse report upon the re- | port & few days ago and Senator Morgan | controverts the wisdom or that action. Senator Morgan Intimates that the ad- | verse rsfpon was made to conform to the views of the President. On this point he says: The resolutions have my hearty approval and I cannot admit that the President has any right | to direct Congress as to the time when it Is expedient to express approval of his solemn act of making these agreements with Nicaragua and Costa Rica. This clalm was made in the committee and his views es'to the expediency of action were stated as grounds of objection to the regolution, From this view of the duty of the Senate 1 wholly dissent. In another connection he says on the same point: We are bound to agree with Costa Rica and Nicaragua as to the terms on which canal privileges will be extended to the United States if_this subject is to be settled by agreement. We have £0 agreed and the question is whether, in a epasm of apprehension or under a subor- dination to the criticisms that British opinion may infiict upom-us, we will permit that Gov- ernment to compel the President to abandon hesé agreements. They are honorable, just, | lawful and inconceivably valuabie, and once abandored we cannot expect a peacaful resump- tlon of them Morgan also takes the position that the President has already outlined the posi- tion of the United States toward the Clay- ton-Bulwer treaty by negotiating the pro- tceols with Costa Rica and Nicaragua. He conecludes: It is quite clear that the President is makin; these agreements in the name of the Unit States, defiantly disregarding any claim of right that Great Britain could assert to the effect that her consent was necessary to such action on his part as President. And, equally, he as- serted the right of Congress fo disregard any ‘claims of Great Britain to prevent the acquisi. tion of such rights from Costa Rica and Nica- ragua and to Appropriate money for that dis- tinct purpose. Beyond question he has bound himself as President and as a plenipotentiary to those agreements and if they violate the rights of Great Britain or give her just offense, Con- gress is aiso bound to either undo the and atone for it and repudiate and i what the President has done, oOr sustain his action. —_— ~ Will Protest Against Duties.

As soon as the bills were introduced it was commen talk that money would be used to defeat them, and now that the first of them is up to the third reading in the Assembly, the coming of Colonél Ma- | zuma Is heralded abroad. The bills against which the antagonism is directed are Assembly bills 504, by Johnson, and 569 and 674, by Franklin. All of these are to prohibit the posses- slon and the playing of nickel-in-the-slot machines, along with a dozen other forms of gambling already prohibited by law. Johnson's bill makes it a misdemeanor | to have or to play a slot machine, among | other things, and fixes the penalty at a| | ine of not more than $5% and imprison- | | ment for not more than six months. The Franklin bills make of the same of- fense a felony, punishable by two years’ for third reading. imprisonment. Johnson's bill is u It is No. 55 on the third reading file and bears the recommendation of the Judic- lary Committeee, to which it was re- ferred, that it “‘do pass.” Bill 569 is on second reading, fifty-two numbers down on the second reading file, with two recommendations from the Ju- diclary Committee, one of the majority | that it “do pass” and one from the min- ority that it “‘do not pass.” The third bill, 674, is still in the hands of the Judiciary Committee. It has been reporied more than once that a fund was being raised to fight these bills, but it is only lately that anything | definite has been soid about the amount of the fund. Now it is varfously esti- mated from $1800 to $3500, but so far not a dollar of it seems (o have reached the hungry. There was talk of one proposi- | tion of $200 for each man who would vote | and fight against che bills, but the offer | was refused with scorn. Then it was an- nounced that $200 had been sent up to beat the bill, that $400 had slipped through | tge fingers of him who handled it, but tuat the remaining $2100 was at the dis-| posal of the willing ones. This also went | for what it was worth, but when a few | of the more inquiring started to investi- | $2500 had been sent to the Capitol an that some one was trying to make too ;rlnuch of a commission out of the transac- | on. That extra $800 m-st have raised a long howl, for it has been cchoing through the Capitol ever singe. Many have heard it and would sympathize with the defrauded could any one be found to admit being | one of the number; but however unsatis- | factory the arrangement was it had the effect of tying up regotiations, at least | for a time. The plan, as unde-stood here, was to concentrate all cficrt upon the Senate when the bills reached that body. Their course so far through the Assembly has been no more nor Ilvss rapid than that of any one of 200 other bills not important enough to be rushed through under spe- clal order. There is a Senate bill of a: somewhat’ similar character, introduced by Tyrrell of Nevada, but that has been | sleeping in the Corporations Committee for weeks past and it is doubtful if it will come up on the file in time to reach any- where near passage by the close of the session. There has been a good deal of talking among the members of the Legislature, particularly " among the Senators, and there have been threats to bar from the floor of the Senate at least one man un- less he behave himself In a manner less liable to cause suspicion. -— SENATE'S BRIEF SESSION. Caldwell’s Proposed Constitutional Amendment Discussed. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Feb. 22.—It was with the best intentions in the worid that the Senate started to work to-day. A file of constitu- tional amendments had been made a spe- cial order, and there was talk of finishinz the Assembly file and holding a caucus during the afternoon and an apportion- ment session to-night, but at 12 o'clock all the energy and enthusiasm flickered | out and the Senate adjourned until Mon- day morning. The net result of the morning’s session was a row over Caldwell's constitutional amendment providing courts of appeal. There was no objection to the principis of the amendment, but when Caldwell at- tempted to amend it by changing the two | regular sessions required to be held in no each year by the court for the Southern district to two speclal sessione, a storm burst. The difference between the two lies in the fact that to hold res- ular sessions the court must come at a stated time, with all Its attaches, and must go through its calendar: to hold a special session it need only take a run up from Los Angeles when it pleases, hear what cases it pleases, and then return. Smith of Kern ‘onposed Caldwell amendment. He sald he did not like th. measgure itself. h .the proposed amended added, it was an infringement of the rights of the San JoanLn Valley, and he would not hear of it. well also op- posed the amendment, and after furth. consideration of the measure, it went over to nexe Monday. - Approves Davis’ Bill.

TO JUDGE M. COONEY San Francisco Jurist Recentiy Overco_me; by Gas in Sacramento Hotel. Expires Without Regaining Consciousnes +- Special Dispatch to The Call. ACRAMENTO, Feb. 22.—Ex-Judge M. Cooney of San Francisco passel away In this city to-day, without having regained consciousness since he was found overcome by gas in his room at a local hotel Tuesday morning. The Coroner held an inquest, and the verdict reached was that deceased had come to his death by accidental as- phyxiation. Judge Cooney came to Sacramento two weeks ago to look after legislation affect- ing the San Francisco Normal School, of which he was one of the trustees. On Monday night last he retired to his room at 1:30 o'clock. At 10 o'clock Tuesday morning the hotel attaches detected gas escaping from the half-open transom of his room. The apartment was entered and Judge Cooney was found in an uncor- sclous condition. Several physiclans and a trained nurse worked energetically tc restore him to consclousness, but without { success. His wife, son and daughter were with him when he died. The only word he uttered was what sounded like a call | for the nurse, shortlv before he passed “Dr.G. W. Dufficy, who had known Judgs Cooney for many 'years, testified at the | inquest to-night that Judge Cooney ‘‘had | everything to live for,” and that in o | opinion death was accidental. Dr. 8.

OMAHA, Feb. 22—Pat Crowe has been heard from under circumstances which in- dicate that he is soon to make a public appearance. B. A. Cudahy is in receipt of a letter bearing Crowe's signature. The handwriting has been tested by com- parison and it 1is the opinion of the Pinkertons, Chief Donahue and others that the signature is genuine. The let- ter, is dated South Omaha, February 15, but the envelope indicates that it was malled in Omaha. Owing to the fact that the letter is now in the Pinkerton office, Chicago, and that no copy was retained here, Cudahy is un- able to repeat it verbatim. ~Cudahy and Chief Donahue have made its contents known, however. Crowe explains in the letter that he has heard that the Omaha police are looking for him and believe him to be one of the kidnapers of BEdward Cudahy Jr. He maintains that he is in- nocent and says that he has no knowledge of the affalr, with the exception of what he has read In the newspapers. He says that he will drop into Omaha some day and prove himself innocent and that he would have done go long ago had he not been afraid that he might suffer the fate of the negro who was lynched at Leaven- worth. Crowe says that the Omaha people must have cooled off considerably by this time and expresses the opinfon that he will soon be able to come here with safety. He makes an appeal to the Chief of Police and Cudahy for protection, and says that he will expect them to stand between him and violence. In conclusion he says that he is much hurt to think that Cudahy sus- pects him of being gullty of the kidnaping and expresses his appreclation of the kirdness Cudahy has shown him in the past. i “When T received this letter,” Cudahy explained, ““I was determined not to take too much for granted, so I sent it to Chi- cago, as I knew Pinkerton had samples of Crowe's writing and would be able to identify it withott difficulty. A few days later I heard from Pinkerton. He sald he had compared the writing with samples of Crowe's chirography and that they were the same beyond question. I would not be surprised now if Crowe should show himself almost any time. I think the letter was written in good faith. I don't belleve the letter was written in either umaha or South Omaha. It bore the date line ‘South Omaha, Nébr., Feb- ruary 15, but the postmark on the en- velope showed that it had been mailed in Omaha. It was probably written some distance from here and sent in a separate envelope to some friend in Omaha or South Omaha, who remailed it. This was done for the obvious purpose of keepimg his present whereabouts a secret. He evidently wants to come voluntarily with- out giving the detectives the honor of having captured him."” WEDDED AT SANTA ROSA. Miss Hattie Austin Becomes the Bride of Professor Holmes.

FATHFUL 00G SHVES HER LIF Mrs. Matthew Fox's Awful Experience on an Alas- kan Trail —— Special Dispatch to The Call. SEATTLE, Feb. 22.—The body of Mat- thew Fox, formerly bugler of the Marine Corps at Sitka, lles embalmed in seven feet of snow near Rodman Bay, Alaska, while Mrs. Mary Fox lies in a hospital at Sitka, slowly recovering from a tertible experience. Her life was saved by a faithful dog. Fox had charge of the Rodman Bay Syndicate warehouse, but lived seven miles inland. Provisions ran short at the middle of January, and they started for the warehouse to obtain new supplies. Before they had gone far Fox broke through the ice in crossing a stream and was wet to the knees, but he still pushed on. Scarcely two miles had been made when they found that it would be utter- iy impoestble to reach their destination, and they turned back. When they were about half way back to camp Fox told his wife to go on home and get a fire! started, and as soon as he was rested he would follow. “ox reached the camp and soon after starting a fire succumbed to drowsi- ness and exhaustion. When she awoke it was 3 o'clock in the morning and Fox had not come in yet. set out in search of him. All too soon she came upon him, lying face down in the snow. Being unable to carry his body back to camp, she brought blankets and canvas and tenderly covered him over. There he still lies, embalmed by nature. Mrs. Fox's suffering had now just com- menced. Alone, far from any human set- tlement, without any provisions -except corn, her matches all gone, a great bar- rier of snow between her and her store of supplies, her only chance of rellef was a vague from Sitka about the lst of February, should the weather permit. Thus, twelve long, weary winter days and nights she passed without light or fire or warm food of any kind, her only com- panions a faithful dog and the vision of that form lying cold and forsaken out in | the dreary waste of snow. On the {hirteenth day she could endure the agomy no longer, so she started for the beach. How she reached there she will never know. All she remembers is an ever present thought that she must push on and that when she fell exhausted time after time she would return to con- sciousness to find her dog licking and fondling her, and dumbly urging her to rise and try again. Her joy and relief can be better imagined than told when the first sight to meet her eves at the beach was a canoe, and she later found that her father had but just arrived. INTERESTS THE COAST.
