TERY VEILS THE SHOOTING Queer Conflict of Stories About Stockton Quarrel. Sl Special Dispatch to The Call. STOCKTON, Aug. 1—S. A. Woodruff, manager of the Fashion Stables, was shot last evening while out riding and consid- erable mystery surrounds the affair. The man who fired the shot is said to be Henry Ward, who had a quarrel on the road with Woodruff. About dusk the Misses Rosenbaum, daughters of a local banker, and a lady friend, secured saddle horses. Woodruff accompanied them to be of service in case the animals became unmanageable. On the Cherokee Lane the stableman came across Ward and a woman, both on sad- dle horses. Woodruff, who owned one of the horses, rode forward and some inqui- ries he made precipitated & row, during which, he declares, he received a pistol- ound in the head. The Misses Ro- um declare that they heard no shot, aw the man and woman pursuing ff down the road. They in fright turned and rode hastily to town. what to believe from the many stories about the trouble. Woodruff was certain- ly shot by some one. The officers are oking for Ward. The Sheriff says the shooting could hardly have occurred where Woodruff says it did and the ladies not hear it. He is inclined to believe that Woodruff followed Ward and that the shooting occurred at another place. Wood- ruff is not seriously hurt. Miss Hedwig Rosenbaum stated to-day that when the party came almost up to Ward and_the woman _Woodruff rode on ahead. Woodruff and Ward were quar- reling. They saw a pistol in Ward's hand. EXCITEMENT PROMISED AT EQUALIZERS’ MEETING Consideration of the Southern Pacific Assessment Will Stir Up a Battle. SACRAMENTO, Aug. 1—The State Board of Equalization will to-morrow take up the fine features of the session, the hearing of the financial and other statements of the Southern Pacific Com- pany as a basis for the assessment of that company’s properties in this State. E. Black Ryan, the Southern Pacific #ax agent, is here with a clerk and a mass of figures. Equalizer Toland promises to furnish all the excitement next Monday night when the equalizers will meet at the Capitol to determine finally and definitely what the assessments of the various railroads will be. It is said that he will make a strong effort to have the assessment of the small branch lines controlled by the Southern Pacific taken out, of the hands of the County Assessors and placed in those of the State,board. There are sev- eral short lines in the State of this char- acter, but a member of the board affirmed to-night that Toland’s pian would not re- sult in any gain, since, as he declared, the assessments placed by the counties are hig these small roads tnan would be fixed by the State on the basis of its assessment of the main lines. total a ment of the Southern Pacific, inclu; f these county assessments, is now about $46,000,000. The sessions to-morrow and Saturday will be devoted to an exemplification of the financial statements, etc., and may or may not prove uneventful. But a lively session is looked for as certain on Mon- day night. —_———— Good Pictures. What people want are good pictures, and plenty of them. Pictures have ceased to be a luxury.

Miss Hornick is a tall, handsome blonde, with a fine stage pres- ence and strikingly attractive face. She {left California some few years ago to study elocution in Boston, earning there, afterward, a very considerable reputation as a dramatlc reader. She then, at the instance of friends, and in obedience to her own strong leaning, turned hef atten-* tion to the stage and entered the Augus- tin Daly company, where her natural gifts soon brought her into prominence. She soon played with Miss Ada Rehan in roles of some importance, both in New York and London, and since then has been steadily forging her way to the front. Miss Hornick will make her first appear- ance in drama in her native State Monday evening, when she will appear as Lady Eastney in “Mrs. Dane's Defence.” This, rather unfortunately, is not the part in the play in which Miss Hornick made her first big New York success, which, curi- ously enough, was the part of an acrid soclety woman who has reached years of indiscretion, and is offensive enough to APTHIN SCHLEY WUST NOT TALK War Department Asks | Him to Explain Re- cent Interview. S ta Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. ‘W., WASHINGTON, Aug. l—Captain Thomas F. Schley, Twenty-first Infantry, |son of Admiral Schley, by the War Department for an explana- | | tion of his action in giving an interview | to the press, in which he strongly de- fended his father. The interview was | published on Monday last. Captain Schley | is stationed at Fort Douglas, Utah, and | he took occasion to declare that some startling facts would be brought to light | |if the whole truth should become known. | | He stated that he‘had advised his father | to withhold none of the facts in his pos- | | session about Admiral Sampson or any | one else. He charged the Navy Depari- |ment with having suppressed a letter written by Sampson to_ Schley, directing the latter to remain off Cienfuegos, and added that his father had several strong | cards up his sleeve. While the War Department does not de- sire to become involved in the naval con- troversy, it regards Captain Schley’s ac- | tion as a breach of army regulations, which prohibit an officer from publicly discussing service matters or private transactions, and declare that respect to { superiors must be extended on all occa- | sions. Admiral Sampson is, of course, in- directly Captain Schley’s superior. The department holds that as the Secretary of the Navy has taken measures- to pre- vent naval officers from talking, it is no more than right that it_should take like action. In view of these considerations, | Acting Secretary Sanger directed Colonel Thomas Ward, acting adjutant general, to send an officlal letter to Captain Schley, inviting his attention to the alleged in- terview, a clipping of which was inclosed, and requesting him to submit to the de- partment any remarks in explanation thereof he might desire to make. If Cap- tain Schley admits that he authorized the interview, his attention will be called to the army regulations, he will be forbidden to make further statements in regard to the matter and he Will probably be cen- sured. SALT LAKE, Utah, Aug. 1.—When shown the Washington dispatch stating that the War Department would take cog- nizance of the published interview regard- ing the court of inquiry upon his father, Rear Admiral Schley, Captain Thomas F. Schley, who is stationed at Fort Douglas, near this city, to-day stated that the in- terview as published was wholly unau- thorized. “All I said in the matter,” continued Captain Schley, “was that I was natural- ly a Schley ‘partisan,’ and hoped that my father would be fully vindicated. Surely there is nothing improper in a son wish- ing his father success. I positively de- clined to enter into a discussion of the merits of the controversy. In the first place, T am not competent to discuss the case, because I know nothing of it. My father has mever spoken of the matter to me and has never mentioned it in his letters. If my father has anything ‘up his sleeve’ he has not notified me of the fact.” has been asked | PRECEPT —IS NOT CHANGED. Schley’s Letter, However, Will Be Sent to the Court. WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.—The Navy De- partment has refused to accede to Ad- miral Schley's suggestion that the lan- guage in the fifth specification in the pre- cept to the court of inquiry be modified. The admiral in his letter challenges that specification, which states as a fact that he had disobeyed orders, and suggests that it be modified. The department in its reply declines to make the suggested mod- ification, on the ground that, according to the official records, Admiral Schiey himself acknowledged that he had dis- obeyed orders. The disobedience of or- ders was an established fact, whether un- willingly or willingly committed. The following are the letters that have assed between Admiral Schley dhd the Navy Department respecting the precept: GREAT NECK, N. Y., July 27, 1901—Sir: I have the honor fo acknowledge receipt of the department's communication of July 26, in- closing copy of an order ‘‘convening, pursuant to the request contained In (my) communica- tion of 224 instant, a court of inquiry.” Inasmuch as the court s directed to “In- vestigate,” and, after such Investigation, to report a ‘“‘full and deteiled statement of all the pertinent facts which it may be deemed be established, together with its opinion and recommendation in the premises,” § would - [ A NATIVE DAUGHTER WHO WILL APPEAR AT THE CO- LUMBIA NEXT WEEK.

L e e e e e I e e e e e e ) SAME BANDIT: JAME 3TAGE Mendocino Robber En- riches Himself by Five Dollars. Special Dispatch to The Call. UKIAH, Aug. 1—As the northbound stage to Potter Valley was swinging around a curve on the road about one mile | north of Fort Brown and within half a mile of the place where it was robbed about a week ago, a lone highwayman | stepped out from the shelter of a clump of trees and commanded Raymond Hall, the driver, to pull up his team. The ban- dit was masked and nonchalantly fingered the trigger of a shotgun. Driver Hall, with an abiding faith in the truth of the maxim that discretion is a heap more valuable than valor in such cases, waited for no second order, but stopped the stage with a jerk that nearly lifted the five passengers from their seats. he robber advanced toward the ve- hicle and told the passengers to climb out. They were quick to respond and lined up on the road alongside the stage. The bandit then suggested that they throw out their coin. It was not an opulent quintet, for the sum total of the high- wayman’'s winnings was only $. After commenting disparagingly on the miser- able financial condition of his victims, he ordered them back to the wagon and di- rected Hall to drive on and hurry up about it. Hall whipped up his horses and ma haste to Potter Valley, where he hu’o‘gn the officers. e s: the robber was the same man who held up his stage a week ago. Evidently the bandit had hoped .to catch the Blue Lakes stage again, but it was late and he did not walt to molest the passengers on it. Sheriff Smith and a number of deputies are now searching for the highwayman. de ed New Quarters Formally Opened. The formal opening of the new quar- ters of the Misslon branch of the Young Men's Christiann Assoclation took place at 2715 Mission street last night. An enjoya- ble programme, including addresses and musical numbers, was rendered. Rev. J. H. Kerr of Trinity Presbyterian Church spoke on the “Relation of the Association to the Church,” and Edward *Collins of the State committee addressed the audl- ence on the topic, “The Relation of the Business Community to the Association.” Remarks were also made by State Secre- tary Parsons and John Martin.

Very respectfully, W. S. SCHLEY, Rear Admiral. Hon. John D. Long, Secretary of the Navy. NAVY DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON, Aug. 1, 190L.—Sir: The department has re. ceived your letter of th@eTth ultimo, in which you acknowledge fhe receipt of a copy of the order convening at your request a court of in- quiry to investigate your conduct during the war with Spain and suggesting that para- graph five of sald order, directing the court to inquire into ‘‘the circumstances attending and the reasons for the disobedience by Com- modore Schley of the orders of tne depart- ment,” etc, ‘be so modified as to omit the department’s expression of opinion and thus leave the court free to exprees its own opinion in_that matter.” In reply you are advised that the precept calls for an inquiry by the court and the as- certainment of pertinent facts. For the pur- pose of setting on foot this inquiry the pre- cept treats certain matters as established, such, for instance, as the arrival of the ‘fiying squadron” oft Clenfuegos and off Santiago; the retrogade movement westward, the turn of the Brooklyn on July 3, 18, and the fact that you disobeyed orders, as reported by you in your telegram, dated Kingston, , X in which you'say: '‘Much to be regretted— cannot obey orders of the department.’’ Inasmuch, however, as it is the department's purpose that the court shall be absolutely free to report, if such shall be found to be the case, that you aid not willfully disobey tha orders, or that you were justified in disobey- ing them, and that this may be.clearly under- stood, your letter of the 27th ultimo, with copy of this reply, will be duly forwarded to the court.

Promoter Fails to Appear in Court and Is Sub- penaed. e Judge Mogan has not yet issued the warrants for the arrest of Paul Redfield Lewis, ofl stock broker, on charges of fel- cny embezzlement and obtaining money by false pretenses. Yesterday at 11 o’clock was set as the time for Miss Aida Logan and her mother, Mrs. Harriet A. Waldron, 639 O'Farrell street, who seek Lewis’ ar- rest, and Lewls to appear before the court and state their cases. Attorney Gibson, on behalf of Lewls, sald his client was sick and could not be present, but he handed the Judge a statement of accounts between Mrs. Waldron and Lewis, in which Mrs. Waldron was shown to be in- debted to Lewis to the extent of $72.83. Miss Logan was sworn, and denied that she had ever presented her dlamond ring, valued at 8150, to Lewis. She lent it to him, she sald, and when she demanded its return_he refused to give it to her. The stock Lewis had given her was a present, and for her mother’s sake she did not care to return it to him, although it was worthless. The Judge advised her to re- turn the stock if it was worthless and get back her ring, but her attorney, Arthur Brand, said he did not believe that Lewis could return the ring. Mrs. Waldron stated under oath that she had given Lewls altogether $1450 to in- vest in oll stock on the statement by him that the stock was worth more than she had paid for it, and all that she had got from him was $38. She had also given him $600, which he had promised to invest for her in some paying security. but she had reason to believe that it had never been 80 invested, and she had falled to get him to return the amount. The Judge ordered a subpena to be ls- sued for Tewls fo appear in court this morning, and sald that upon his failure to appear or give a satisfactory expla- nation as to the rlng and his dealings with Mrs. Waldron, he would issue the ‘warrants. ® PRECILS PLUN “FOR SYNDITE Capitalists Will Control Waters of Klondike River. Special Dispatch to The Call. TACOMA, Aug. 1.—Dawson advices (via Skaguay) state that a syndicate of Lon- don, England, and Toronto men have ob- tained at Ottawa the most important con- cession ever granted in the Klondike. It is given the privilege of immense water rights on the Klondike River, by which it can run water from that stream through flumes and ditches for distribution to| thousands of bench and hillside clalms§ throughout the Klondike district.

The plum has been finally picked by a syndicate headed by Malcolm Orr Ewing and A. N. C. Treadgold of London and Walter Barwick of Toronto. These men have large capi- tal with which to carry on their enter- ise.
