D, Plerce | PRINGE GONFERS WITH ATTORNEY Hatzfeldt Takes Frank D. Ryan Into His Confldence. Will To-Day Take His De- parture From Sacramento for the East. Epecial Dispatch to The Call. SACRAMENTO, July 2—The Prince and Princess Hatzfeldt are guests at the Cap- ital Hotel. They will leave to-morrow for the East. Joseph D. Redding, the San Francisco attorney, will not go East with them, but will remain in California. The | Prince explains this by saying that Mr. | Redding is a native Californian and is naturally loth to leave the State. Sac- ramento happens to be the scene of Mr. Redding’s happy childhood hours, and it was supposed that he would put in much | of his time looking up old primary school chums and swapping yarns with them. But while Mr. Redding under ordinary circumstances is quite given to social | amenities and the exchange of reminis- | cences, he did not indulge that amiable weakness to any extent to-day. The only person who seemed to awaken the confi-| dence of the Hatzfeldts’ counsel to-day was Frank D. Ryan, a well known local | lawyer. The Prince and Mr. Redding had Mr. Ryan at luncheon in their apartments and the fact that the three were together | constderably during the day gave rise to | the general impression that there was | “something doing” in the legal line. The Prince was asked if a ttiement | had been made with the legatees of the | Huntington will, and he declared that no tlement had ever been suggested, much less accemplished. The Prince said that he might go to Newport for the season or return to | Burope, his course being governed en- tirely by conditions when he reached New | York. Dbeally the impression is that | some form of a legal proceeding will | shortly be sprung by the Hatzfeldts and that the visit of Kedding and the con- ferences with local cou el bear out this ea. | TRAIN CREW BATTLES i WITH THREE TRAMPS | Conductor Sends a Bullet Into the Head of One of His Assailants. SAN BERNARDINO, July 2.—News has | reached here of a fight that took place | early this morning on the Southern Pa- | cific Railway at a watering station be- tween Indio and Yuma. The participants | were the crew of an east-bound freight | train and three tramps. Shortly before reaching the station the tramps were dis- | covered by the head brakeman stealing a | ride. He requested them to get off at the {nmext stop. They did so, but when the | train started they again got aboard. The | train was stopped and upon being ordered +off again, the tramps drew knives and at- tacked the conductor. The latter drew | his revolver and fired. The bullet entered { the head of one of the tramps. The rest of the train crew came to the conductor’'s assistance and finally overcame the tramps. The wounded man was placed aboard a passenger train and taken to the Sisters’ Hospital in Los Angeles for treat- ment. —— . Suicide Follows Attempted Murder.

SACRAMENTO, July 2.—The State Board of Education met in the office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction this morning, with Samuel Black in the chair and Messrs. Van Liew, Burk and Daley present. Dr. Wheeler and F. B. Dressler appeared later. Superintendent Kirk reported that Dr. E. E. Brown had been granted leave of absence from the State University for one year, and F. B. Dressler had been ap- pointed at the head of the department of pedagogy of that institution in the in- terim, and it was ordered that for one year he take Dr. Brown's place on the State Board of Education and upon the committees of which Dr. Brown had been 2 member. At the afternoon session ten ballots were taken on the adoption of a primary United States history textbook for the public schools, without a chojce. Mr. Burk of San Francisco protested against the adoption of any history textbook until that adopted at the April meeting should have been given a yvear’s trial. He proved a clever obstructionist and carrled is point by blocking every attempt to make a choice. Dr. Dressler of the State University said he had examined the courses of study of forty counties and found that twelve had already adopted Barnes' primary history, ten had adopted Eggleston’s, seven Mont- gomery’s and one Scudder’s. The board refused to appoint a commit- tee of teachers Lo examine and report upon the best textbook of primary and gram- mar grade geographies, but appointed a committee consisting of J. W. McCly- monds of Oakland, W. H. Baker of San Jose, T. L. Heaton of Berkeley, A. W. Stamper of Chico, and M. W. Haskell of Berkeley to examine and report upon the best primary and grammar grade arith- metic book for use in the schools. Superintendent Kirk attempted to have the board examine the course of study: of the Kern County board, but no action was taken. A committee consisting of Dr. Dressler, Mr. Van Liew and Mr. Burk was appoint- ed, according to the provision of the new law, to examine and recommend the text- books to be used in high schools.

STOCKTON, July 2—The City Council to-night refused final passage of an ordi- nance granting franchise to Captain John Cross and others of Los Angeles for a rail- road to enter the western part of the city by crossing Stockton Channel. The road proposed was to run from Stockton to Sacramento, along the western boundary of the county and up the course of the Sacramento River. Objection was made by the Tesla Company and others to granting the franchise, because the road would interfere with established lines here. The vote to-night was three for the ordinance and two against, which killed it. Ends Life With a Bullet. BSAN JOSE, July 2.—Andrew L.

WHALER BALEN CRISHES ASHORE Crew of San Francisco Craft Miraculously Escapes. SEATTLE, July 2.—The whaler Balaena of SBan Francisco, belonging to the Pacific Steam Whaling Company, les on St. Lawrence Island, twenty miles west of Southeast Cape, in Bering Sea, a total wreck. Captala P. F. Cotte and the sixty men in_ the crew had an almost miracu- lous escape from death. Through the bravery of the officers all got to the shore. News of the wreck, whi¢h occurred on May 1, reached Nome on June 21, and the whaler Alexander was immediately sent to St. Lawrence Island to the relief of the wrecked crew. Captaln Cotte, with several of the crew, reached Nome In a rowboat with particulars of the loss of his vessel and the terribie straits to which starvation had reduced the crew. The Balaena was on a voyage to the Arctic. She was provisioned for thirty months. The “whaler left San Francisco on April 4 and after battling with the ice for weeks had succeeded in working through the werst of the floes. headed to pass St. Lawrence Island when the wreck occurred. Shortly after mid- night on the first of May the wind rose until it assumed the strength of a gale and the whaler was driven to a point twenty miles west of Southeast Cape, where she struck a rock. The captain im- mediately ordered the boats out. The whaler seemed to have been hung on the rock and although the waves were pound- ing her terribly she did not founder. In a very short time the boats were manned and the crew started for shore. The sea was =0 high that {t was impos- sible for the boats to keep together, but they all made the island eventually. The boat which contained Captain Cotte was stove in as it struck the beach, but the captain and all the men succeeded in get- ting beyond the reach of the waves. The drenched and half frozen crew remained huddled about in groups durln{ the re- mainder of the night. Several had their hands and feet frozen. The Balaena is a total wreck. She is hanging to the rock where she struck, but is liable to slip off into the water and sink at any time. She struck on the port side and crash2d a hole fully twelve feet in length in her hull. The wavés during the night of ths wreck pounded her stern to pleces. The wrecked whaler is a ves- sel of 600 tons burden.

Thomas Farley Admits That Gonzales Citizens Had Organized. Special Dispatch to The Call. BAN JOSE, July 2.—George Suesser, the murderer of Sheriff Farley of Monterey County, who is to be given a second trial in this county, will have to wait a couple of months, as the courts are just now en- tering on their summer vacation. Suesser was séen at the County Jall to- day and affirmed the story that Sheriff Keefe had received information that a mob from Gonzales intended to lynch him last night. He is not only afrald that some of the Farleys may kill him, but said that a short time ago one of the Farleys had made a threat against his sister while she was in church. He de- nounces Thomas Farley as a coward for | attacking him on a train when he was in | the custody of an officer and handcuffed. Suesser says he asked Sheriff Keefe last | evening on the train to loosen his hands so he could defend himseif, and he inti- mated he would have settled with Farley then and there. Suesser says that one night when his| sister was in church at Salinas one of the Farleys sat behind her and put his hands on her shoulder. His action was sus-| picious, and a person seated next to Far-| ley made him desist. Suesser claims that Farley then told that person that he had “a_notion to kill the girl right here.” The prisoner says that had he remained in Salinas last night he would surely have | been lynched. Thomas Farley told Keefe | after their arrival here that a mob had Farley had served as a deputy sheriff and knew the jail thor- oughly, and Suesser declares Farley could have opened the combination door and let the avengers in. Suesser has not vet engaged. counsel, but he says he will put up a hard fight for | his life. Since he was previously brought | here to escape lynching, at the time of the murder, Suesser has grown thin and lost his braggadocio spirit.
