Thirty-one guests | were seated at the fmmense round table, that - was elaborately decorated with American Beauty roses. The table was set beneath a fragrant canopy of Jacic | roses, in the midst of which gleamed | electric lights. The center plece of Amer- ican Beauties was sixteen feet in diame- ter. The flowers bloomed in a bed of | cool, green ferns and in the midst of them electric lights glittered. Thirty doz- en American Beauty roses were used in the decoration.

N., Gov- ernor of the American possessions in Sa- moa and now a guest at the Occidental Hotel, was robbed last night of $30 and a gold watch. He was induced by two men he met In the hotel lobby last night to take a ride in a hack. He left the hotel about 6 p. m. with the strangers, accord- ing to his story, and was found six hours later wandering’ around Gray Bros.’ quar- ry near the seawall. Commander Tilley was found at mid- night by. Arthur Flaherty and Howard Lennox, residents of the neighborhood, who were attracted by the naval officer’s strance movements. When interrogated by the police the commander told of his experience with the daring thugs. He said the men drove him about the city for some time, stop- ping at the corner of Greenwich and San- some streets about 10 p. m. Then they dragged him out of the hack, threw him to the ground and forcibly re- lieved him of his watch and coin. Commander Tilley appeared, when brought to the hotel, as if he had been made the victim of knockout drops. His story was told incoherently and gave the police little to work upon. | @ siiiimidniiietieb i el @ ENDS HiS LIFE WITH A BULLET Wife's Desertion Causes Pioneer to Kill Himself. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, June 12. Family disturbances, culminating in the departure of his wife and adopted daugh- ter from his home, led Almon Weymouth, a pioneer contractor and mill man of Livermore, to commit suicide at his resi- dence in that city this afternoon by shoot- ing himself in the head with a pistol while lying on a sofa in the sitting-rcom. The despondent husband had put the muzzle of the weapon in his mouth and sent a bullet crashing throughthis brain. His son, William, found the body shortly after 2 o'clock, having gone to the house to see what detained his father from work at the planing mill. The cause of the deed was laid bare in a number of letters that were found in the house. One was addressed to Wey- mouth by his wife, who wrote that she had decided to leave him and that their adopted daughter, Lulu, 17 years of age, would go with her. A postscript had been written by the girl, in which she ex- pressed her sorrow at leaving her foster- father, but she felt compelled to depart with her mother. The girl's action is sup- posed to have contributed muca to the old man’s despondency, because he had a strong affection for her. Another note, written by Weymouth, ex- plaired that he contemplated taking his own life because of the desertion by his wife and daughter. There were no specific reasons given concerning the disagree- ments in the family, but it is understood that relations between the various mem- bers had been strained for a long time. Mrs. Weymouth married Weymouth eight years ago, being his second wife. is children by a former marriage, a son and a_daughter, did not reside at the home !'place and the townspeople have under- stood that they did not get along well with their stepmother. Mrs. Weymouth and the girl left Liver- more on the morning train, saying they intended to come to friends in” Oakland. That move settled Weymouth's determi- | nation to end his existence, although he had been thinking of suicide for several days. Last wee! he tried to purchase cartridges to fit a bulldog pistol, but could not obtain the size he needed. This noon he bought a pistol and cartridges at Dutcher’'s hardware shop and then went to his mill, where he attended to some business. Then the old man drove over to his resi- dence and made preparations to die. *The dead pioneer was a native of Maine, about 70 years of age. He settled in TLivermore Valley more than forty years ago. He leaves one brother, who is a rancher in the valley. and .another brother, Albert Weymouth, manager for the Berkeley Lumber Company. The Coroner took charge of the case. | ANOTHER VICTIM OF MINE DISASTER DIES Explosions Prevent Inspectors From Attempting to Recover Bodies in the Shaft. WEST NEWTON, Pa., June 12.—The death of Harry Beveridge at the McKees- port Hospital last night brings the total number of fatalities of the Port Royal mine disaster up to eighteen. Another explosion took place in the Port Royal mines at 4 o'clock this after- noon in No. 2 shaft. It sent up a whirl- wind of ofl, dust and smoke and proved conclusively that the gas is still active in the mines. It will probably be to-mor- row afternoon before the mine inspectors can get together for the purpose of decid- ing as to the advisability of making an- other attempt to recover the dead in the mine before flooding it. Coroner Wynne of Westmoreland County commenced an inquiry into the cause of the disaster at this place this aftérnoon. . Only two wit- nesses wete examined. The inquest will probably occupy several days, as the jury, which is composed of well-known business men, seems determined to get at the cause of the disaster, Rev. Father Carroll of Smithton says that some of the men in the burning mine are yet alive, and asked to-night that he be permitted to lead a relief party. “I have four experienced miners from the coke regions,” he sald, “who will go into the shaft with me.

B 2 S e ] COOPER ORDERED INTO CUSTODY FOR PERJURY Jury in His Case Fails to Agree and Is Locked Up for the Night. The trial of “Sir” Harry Westwood Cocper, alias Ernest Moore Chadwick, on the charge of sending a forged telegram to Miss Norine Schneider on February 23 last was concluded in Judge Cook's court yesterday, and the Judge ordered the de- fendant into custody on a charge of per- jury. The prosecution called.several wit- nesses to contradict the defendant’s extra- ordinary story of Tuesday as to the al- leged prearrangement with Miss Schnei- der for him to send the forged telegram. Mrs. Schneider and her two daughters, Mamie and Norine, positively denled that the defendant had a private conversation with Norine on the night of February 22, as llle%ed by the defendant. Norine iden- tified the telegrams which the defendant had handed her on the trip from Port Costa to Ogden relating to the supposed absconding of her brother, which Cooper had written himself with the object of decelving her. C. W. G. Hawes, a printer in Crockett, testified that the cards announcing the marrlnga of the defendant with Miss Sclineider were ordered by the defendant and not by Mrs. Schneider, thus contra- dicting that part of the defendant’s story. Dr. J. 8. Riley of Crockett testifled that he saw the defendant on the morning of February 24 and the defendant told him that he had been married to Norine Schneider because -her folks had thrown her out of the family and as a man of horor he could do no less than marry her. The defendant was recalled and testified that the telegrams which Miss Schneider alleged he handed her on the train had been delivered by him to her in the Ogden jail, =o as make an excuse for her to er mother. The story was so palpably false that every one in the courtroom smiled and the prosecution did not deem 1t necessary to call the girl to refute his statements. After arguments of counsel the Judge charged the jury, which retired about 5:30 o’clock. It was after the retirement of the jury that the Judge ordered the de- fendant into custody on the charge of perjury. At a late hour the- jurors announced their inability to agree, and were locked up for the night. | $ —————— Says That Odell Is the Man.

Only One Incident Disturbs the Quiet of Butchers’ Strike. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, * 1118 Broadway, Jume 12. The only ripple of excitement that dis- turbed the movement of the butchers’ strike on this side of the bay to-day was the rotten-egging of a coal oil wagon from which delivery was being made this aft- ernoon at Fred Becker's lower Washing- ton-street market. Several policemen were on hand and the trouble quickly subsided. The union pickets on guard at that market deprecated the affair, attrib- uting the onslaught to sympathizers whose judgment was warped by overzeal: ousness. The union, as well as the wholesalers, have transferred their attention in large measure to the San Francisco side of the bay. The strike there is of such large proportion and the Interests so much greater that what is accomplished by elther side is immediately reflected upon the Oakland situation. he whol ers here are particularly watchful of the de- velopments across the bay, for they take their cue for the most part from the big firms on the other side. The day’'s developments were without significance so far as the gemeral situa- tion goes. The wholesalers are exerting every effort in their power to furnish beef to the retallers who have pulled down the union cards. To this end members of the firms who have not slaughtered for years are head and shoulders deep In work at the stockyards. A few union men have { returned to work and have abandoned the organization, but they number not a doz- | en. Non-union help is being utilized wher- | ever obtainable, but so far the dutchers. | both wholesale and retail, have had much 'dlmwlty in securing skilled workmen. Every non-union shop, wholesale and ]rcf(&\l. has been picketed by union dele- | gates. | _The union reports show that James | Pitts, George Loher and M. Schick, em- | plo}"_]ing butchers, have accepted the union card. The press committee of the union has issued the following statement: The men were called out because they could not handle the meat being supplied from mon- union slaughter-houses. The proprietors of & ty of the shops are in sympathy with | us, however, and instead of trying to get non- union labor in place of the union men who walked out they are running the shops as best they can. They have signed our agreement, | and_they having done so we eannot take the cards away from them. Just as scon as any attempt i3 mads to secure non-union men, | however, we consider the proprieters have | broken faith and the card is withdrawn. This stand was taken on the advice of Grand Or | ganizer Pierce, who was in conference with us | yesterday. | Fred Becker is trying to get men from | outside the city, but the union represen- | tatives declare he has not been success- | ful. ! “From the wholesalers’ standpoint we feel satisfled with the situation,” said | Irying C. Lewis of Grayson, Owen & Co. | “We expect a speedy termination of the strike, in view of the stand taken by the | San Francisco wholesalers.” | The local union _of the Amalgamated | Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen will { hold an all-day meeting to-morrow, com- mencing at 9:30 o’clock a. m., when every | aspect of the strike will be canvassed in | detail. | e ————] | CONGRESSMEN INSPECT | THE BAY FORTIFICATIONS | et | Members of the Rivers and Harbors | Committee Steam Around San Diego Harbor.
