MARINES RAISE TROUBLE AT THE ISLAND OF GUAM Naval Commandant Denounces Them for Acts of Hoodlumism and | General Lawlessness. . WASHINGTON, June 27.—The attention of the Navy Department has been formal- { 1y called to what appears to be an unsat- jstactory condition of affairs in Guam. The incoming mail has brought a copy of | an erder issued by the naval commandant of the island, Commander Seaton Schroed- | er, denouncing “hoodiumism and lawless- | ness,” which he says are rampant at-the | station. The order refers to ‘‘terrorism {at the fort, gambling and drunkenness, which have brought the United States | force into disrepute.” The order closes with the imposition of restrictions on the liberty of the marines. 1t is believed the Navy Department will be obliged to look into the denunclation of the marines. General Heywood, com- mandant of marines, already has been called upon to furnish such information as he has, and it may be that a court of inquiry will be appointed. The mail brought him no report from Major H. K. White, the ranking marine officer on the island, nor, from any other source, con- cerning the reported troubles. He is very much surprised at the extraordinary ecope of Commander Schroeder’s order, reflect- ing as it does npon the integrity of every officer and man of the marine corps on duty in the island. The semi-finals in all the | s matried in the presence of relatives and | _ immediate friends. The groom, George W. Manley, has been for years connected with the electric light company of Angels Camp. The bride was Miss Myrtle Lee, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Lee, a society belle and an ac- complished musician. The paglprs were tastefully decorated with masses of ferns and sweet peas, meking fitting surroundings for the charming bride, who was robed in an ex- quisite gown of white silk and mousseline de soie. A wedding breakfast followed the cere- mony, after which Mr. and Mrs. Manley left on the stage for an extended wedding tour to Monterey and other coast resorts. The many presents attested the popularity of the young couple. —————— Portrait Sells for a Fortune.

A. Brandes, guilty of manslaugh- ter and recommend him to the mercy of the court. H. E. MOSHER, Foreman.” William A. Brandes, once sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of his daughter Lilllan, smiled when he heard the foregoing verdict read in Judge Og- den’s court this noon. The decision of the* twelve men who heard the evidence at the second trial of the child slayer was | a palpable compromise. Bight jurors had vated for a verdict of murder, either in the first degree or in the second degreé. One hard-headed juror had declared the accused parent ought to be burned at the stake, but -after nearly twenty hours of deliberation in the jury room two men, Thomas Agnew and W. H. Rogers, with the assistance of Henry Hauschildt, a Redwood Canyon farmer, turned the ver- dict into one of manslaughter, with the rider of recommendation to merey. Brandes is more than satisfied with the result of this trial. In spite of his declar- ations that he believed he should have been acquitted, the man was overjoyed, and he displayed his gratification in every move. Attorney A. L. Frick, who defended Brandes, was content. He had very little comment to make. A “From a professional point of view I consider the verdict a decided vietory,” he said, ‘but, of course, from the stand of the defendant it is not.” “‘Hauschildt wanted some more instruec- tions from the court this morning, but when he found Judge Ogden could not give them until late this afternjon he de- cided to vote for manslauhter, provided the recommendations to mercy were added.” The crime for which Brande: ha& been twice convicted was the killing of Lil- lian A. Brandes at Berkeley in Novem- ber, 1898. Her Lody was found hanging to a bedpost, with external evidence of sui- cide, which the law officers have always contended was arranged by Brandes and his wife to cover the murder. The body of the child when taken in charge by the Coroner was found covered with bruises, plain evidence of brutality. An autopsy. conducted by Dr. S. H. Buteau and seven surgeon’ assistants, disclosed the entire absence of any trace of strungulation, but, on the other hand, sufficient brain in- jury from blows was uncovered to war- rant the opinion that the girl had been foully handled. Immediately after these disclosures Brandes and his wife, Mrs. Etta Brandes, were arrested, She was the dead child's stepmother. After a long trial Brandes was convicted of murder in the second degree, but Mrs. Brandes was discharged. The defense fought their case out on a battle of opinion between medi- cal experts, the theory being held to that the girl had actually killed herself. ‘That line was utterly abandoned at the irial just concluded. Attorney Frick prac- tically admitted that the child had been murdered, but that Mrs. Brandes and not his &jent was responsible for her death. The Brandes’ son Milton testified at much length about a fight between his mother and his stepsister. His narrative was in- tended to convince the jury that Mrs. Brandes had struck the girl with a piece of hose to prevent the child from assault- ing her with a knife. By other means all the effort of the de- fense was centered in an attempt to fix the blame upon the woman who had once begn accused, but never was prosecuted, either as a principal or as an accessory to the death of the girl. Now Brandes’ law- yer contends that Mrs. Brandes is be- yond the pale of the law, having been discharged at the first trial. Brandes was granted a new trial by the Supreme Court upon the same ground that won Mrs. Botkin and Murderer Hoff of San Francisco another trial; namely, error of the Judge in giving certain in- structions concerning circumstantial ev- idence. . Brandes said to-day: “I feel that I should have been acquitted. At any rate, I am going to try to free myself. I shall make a fight for a new trial.” GRAPPLING HOOKS BRING BODY FROM TIDAL CANAL Remains of Mrs. Morgenroth, Who Drowned Herself, Found by Father and Son. ALAMEDA, June 27.—With grappling irons husband and sondragged the waters canal this. morning in the search for the body of the wife and mother, Mrs. Caroline Morgenroth, who disappeared from her home, 211 Santa Clara avenue, Tuesday morning, after re- peated threats to end her life and suffer- ings After a two hours' search, rowing up and down in a rowboat, the efforts of the anxious relatives of the unfortunate woman were rewarded by the discovery of the body. the grappling hooks catching !rn the clothing and bringing it to the sur- ace., Mrs. Morgenroth left her home at ? o'clock Tuesday morning, escaping the vigilance of her family, to whom she had often said that if she lived near the. tidal canal she would jump into the waters and end her sufferings, of long stflndini. Her daughter was awakened by the striking of a clock, when she discovered that the front door was wide open. The daughter knew that her mother had esc“?ed from the house and alarmed the family. All night they searched for her without finding a trace, except footsteps leading out of the yard. When daylight broke the search was kept up and contin- ued until this morning. Mrs. Morgenroth was a native of Alsace, Germany, aged 55 years, and had resided with her family in Alameda nineteen years. She leaves a husband and five children. The Coroner's inguest was held at 8 o'clock to-night, when the jury brought in a verdict that the deceased came to her death by suicide. o THREE BURGLARS ARE LOCKED UP IN THE TANKS John Ryan, the Third Member of the Gang, Is Placed Under Arrest. The third member of the trio of bur- glars who on Tuesday night stole several watches and other articles from the Thanyy of Louis C. Hoffman, grocer, 341 Eddy' street, which is in the rear of his store, was captured by Detectives Ryan, O'Dea anq Riordan yesterday. He is John Ryan, a cripple, who at one time was the pro- prietor of a saloon in Seattle. The stolen articles were pawned at 156 Third street and Ryan was identified as the man who pawned them. He was drunk when ar- rested. The detectives have recovered the stolen articles as well as other articles pawned by Ryan and which are supposed to be the proceeds of other burglaries. An ef- fort will be made to find owngrs for them so that other charges may be made against the trio. ‘“‘Dog Face” Brown and Thomas Barrett, the other two burglars, who were arrested Wednesday afternoon, are still in the “tanks.” along with dRyan, but will probably be charged to- ay.

Burt of the Union Pacific arrived from Omaha in his private car yester- day afternoon. He looked the typ- ical railroad president sitting in his car as the train rolled into the Oakland mole, fanning himself and poring over charts and maps that were lald out on a table in_front of him. ‘What is President Burt out here for? He sald yesterday that he was just tour- ing the coast for pleasure and that he might go to Los Angeles to visit his sis- ter, who resides there. The railroad men around the vellow building, however, claim that this visit is a result of the Harriman interests controlling the South- ern and Union Pacific, and that this is the first of many consultations that will be held between Presidents Hays and Burt with a view to bringing the roads into closer affiliation. Hays and Burt met in conference in Chicago about two weeks ago, and it is presumed that the arrival of Burt in San Francisco means that they will talk over certain matters that lack of time prevented dis- cussing at their last meeting. President Burt would not talk about railroaq affairs. In fact, he said that he only knew that J. C. Stubbs had been ap- pointed traffic director of his road through the newspapers, and that he had not yet received an officlal circular announcing the appointment.

VANCOUVER, B. C. June 27.—The largest bar of gold ever taken out of the Cariboo country, and probably the largest ever made, will arrive here by train to- morrow on its way to Glasgow, Scotland, where it will be exhibited.
