THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1901. EVIDENCE DISCOVERED THAT CZ0LGOSZ FOLLOWED PRESIDENT T0 CALIFORNIA Continued From Page Ome. he is here to work upon the California end | of the plot—an end which is given first im- portance by information which has come into possession of The Call. Leon Czolgosz was in Pacific Grove when President McKinley was there. His identification is complete and positive, and it remains only for the great New York detective and the local Hawkshaws to visit the seaside town to gather there conclusive evidence of th- long existence of the hellish plot. Lay in Wait at Pacific Grove. Czolgosz lay in wait for the President 2t Pacific Grove, presumably because at that town was being held the Grand Army of the Republic encampment, and McKin had said that whatever befall he w not pass his old comrades by. The would-be assassin knew that the President would be driven through the streets to the hall where the veterans assembled, and possibly he hoped on this drive the President's body- rd would be less vigilant than on oc- ion of receptions in larger cities. But expectation was not realized and the ty he sought was fortunately de- 1 him, not only there, but throughout Presidential trip. While in Pacific Grove Czolgosz called the postoffice to inquire for mail. He ed letters there addressed to s, “Fred Neiman.” He gave that ame to Postmaster Charles G.

No mention had been made of a visit of the President to Monterey, and it is nat- ural to assume that Czolgosz, reading of the intended visit of the President to Pa- cific Grove, went there possibly from San Francisco to watch his chance to ap- proach the chief executive. He may not have remained over night there, as a late traih leaves Pacific Grove for San Fran- cisco, Captain McCloskey’s Visit. Capt: McCloskey, the New York de- tective, like the thorough Hawkshaw that he is, refuses to discuss his mission here except to assert in a general way that he is here on a visit to his friend Mose Gunst. In response to queries as to wheth- er or not he is here to search for evidence of the anarchistic plot, he falls back upon his refusal to discuss affairs of his police department, and the same result is ob- tzined to inquiries concerning the evi- dence in the hangls of the New York de- tectives that sent him post-haste across the continent at a time when the world supposed the Eastern cities held the evi- dences of the fiendish preparations of the chosen tools of the anarchists. Captain McCloskey says simply that he had long promised his friend Gunst to visit him and that at last he is here. He professes himself to be infatuated with California and says his visit may be quite lengthy. Without doubt, when he learns the indubitable character of the evidence unearthed at Pacific Grove by The Call his professional zeal will become a strong second to his appreciation of climate and people. MRS. ROOSEVELT RETURNS HOME TO OYSTER BAY Will Leave There This Morning to Meet the Congressional Train at Jersey City.

PHYSICIANS ENGAGE IN BITTER CONTROVERSY Accuse Dr. McBurney of Giving Out Unwarranted Optimistic Re- ports. NEW YORK, Sept. 15.—The World has this from Buffalo: The disagreement among the doctors, foreshadowed in the | World this morning, broke out to-day. It promises to be a bitter, and, perhaps, even scandalous public controversy. Drs. Mann, Parke, Mynter and Wasdin disagree among themselves as to surgical and medical points In the case, They agree at only one point. They all say that Dr. McBurney of New York was directly re- sponsible for the public impression that President Kinley was certain to get well. They all ‘say that from the first moment of his appearance in the case he was most optimistic; that contrary to his w and with newspaper- men and st optimistic and then nc hat President McKin would get well. They say that it w his suggestion that McKinley was given solid food on Thursday and that he alone gave out a positive statement (this was on Thursday, just before he left) that Mr. McKinley would certainly get well. It is broadly hinted in a Buffalo special that J. Plerpont Morgan induced Dr. Mc- Burney to give out optimistic statements concerning President - MeKinley's condi- tion. ALL ENGLAND MOURNS DEATH OF THE PRESIDENT The Tributes of Respect Equal Those Merking the Demise of a British Sovereign. LONDON, Sept. 16.—It would be almost impossible to record in detall the remark- able outburst of sympathy in Great Brit- ain and her colonies over the death of President McKinley, proofs of which are continually arriving here. Not only has King Edward commanded the court to go into mourning for one week but. wherever a public meeting of any kind has been | beld or wherever a public man has had occasion to speak expressions of horror | and sympathy have been heard. In every place of public worship yester- day, from St. Paul's Cathedral and Can- terbury Cathedral down, the preachers made special references to the terrible event. invoking God’s blessing upon the United States and the American people. Craithie Hurst, Balmoral, whose b have never been used before except on occasions of national interest, broke the custom and announced the event to the neighborhood. Mr. Cheate and staff of the United States embassy attended St. Paul's Ca- thedral in the evening and many other Americans were in the congregation. Caron Scott Holland made a touching al- lusion to the martyred President and de- nounced the crime to which he fell a vic- tim. Many members of the diplomatic corps and a constant stream of visitors Inscrib- ed their names at the embassy. Messages of svmpathy were received from Earl Cadogan, the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland; Sir William Vernon Harcourt, the Duke of Abercrombie, the Maharajah of Joolh- pore, Mr. Austin, the poet laureate, and many other prominent men. In accordance with a special army or- der to the guards at the St. James Palace and at all other.points where guards are mounted throughout the United Kingdom, honors were_rendered v memory of President K are usuaily accorded only on the death of royal person. The troops wore crape and the bands played dirges. Funeral marches were played in every church in the kingdom. Canon Duckworth, preach- ing in Westminster Abbey, said: The opening of the twentieth century will be in our memory and in that of our kinsmen one that drew us together in the sacred broth- erhood of sorrow. Tt will unite the former friendship between the two great nations. The morning papers again appear with heavily leaded border and are almost en- tirely devoted to Mr. McKinley. No such tributes of sympathy and respect ever marked the death of any person but a British sovereign. Considerable editorial space is devoted to a discussion of Mr. Roosevelt’s probable olicy, a question which is exciting the eenest curiosity throughout Europe and may be said to border almost upon appre- hension. The Daily Chronicle, discussing the world of sympathy displayed, says: This sympathy is intensified by a full real- ization of the calamity until we are almost inclined to say that there is no precedent for such a display of emotion and fellow fesling on these particular lines. It is not impossible that the assassination of Mr. McKinley will advance that “international comity of gov- ernments” to which some political students look as the keynote of future peace and. har- mony. The Morning Post says: The American people have been robbed of one gf the greatest leaders the republic ever pro- uced. Many papers highly approve the pro. . evidenced from the insurance he carried — should attend the funeral and express a hope that King Edward will see his way clear to adopt the suggestion. The Times says of the new President: Mr. Roosevelt has great gifts, which, rightly used, may lead to great issues. The danger his frienids feel is in a certain impulsiveness which is undoubtedly a part of his nature. We trust his friends are overanxious. In the editorials on Mr. Roosevelt a sense of relief and intense satisfaction is exhibited at his declaration that he will maintain his predecessor’s policy un- broken, while high courage and integ- rity of character are subjects for eulogis- tic’ comment and congratulation. to the American nation upcn the possession of such a brilliant man to succeed to the Presidency. The Daily Chronicle says: It is certain a man with such a marvelous record will not be a humdrum President, At the same time he is far too level-headed to do anything rash. It predicts that the youngest of the Presidents will prove one of the greatest. The Daily Mail, which calls attention to the allegation that he is not a friend to Great Britain only to express its disbelief in the same, says: Some of the sentiments Mr. Roosevelt ex- pressed a few weeks ago now seem to have been but. the overflow of high spirits in the case of a man in an ornamental position. No sooner does he feel the weight of office, as the head of a majestic nation, than he speaks Wwith the calmness of true statesmanship, e PRESIDENT CARRIED BIG LIFE INSURANCE Total Amount Will Probably Reach as High as Seventy-Five Thousand. NEW YORK, Sept. 15.—That President McKinley expected to live for many years and had every reason for so thinking is on his life in favor of his wife. Only a few weeks ago, it can be said on good authority, he had changed a straight life insurance policy of $50,000 for a twenty year endowment policy. He carried this in_one of the blg New York companies. It was announced by another insuranee company that its agents had paid by check on Saturday to Mrs. McKinley a policy calling for $15,000. Reports that the President carried insuranee amounting to 200,000 or more are not credited by leading insurance men in this city. Several experts yesterday placed the total amount at not more than $75,000. ANARCHIST BABELY; ESCAPES LYNCHING Omaha Hibernians Resent Insults to the Dead President’s Memory. OMAHA, Sept. 15.—Frank Steiger barely escaped lynching this afternoon after making offensive remarks in the saloon of Fred Hansen on Cumming street. A crowd of men occupied the beer garden and reading-room when Steiger's oratory grew offensive, and when the speaker waved a Canadian thistle in mock mourn- ing of the dead President, a dozen hands reached for him. The saloon-keeper hustled the offender into a room overhead, where he was besieged by members of the local lodge of Hibernians, who had been hold- ing an informal meeting in the garden, Two of the party went for a rope and had returned from their errand when a patrol wagon reached the saloon in answer to a riot call. He Steiger was rescued with difficulty. was taken to the police station for safe keeping and evidence was found on him which justifies the police in holding him. Steiger's pockets were filled with an- archistic literature and contained several letters from well known Chicago an- archists, showing him to be on intimate terms with them. TRIAL OF THE ASSASSIN WILL TAXE REGULAR COURSE Governor Odell Says That He Wiil Not Call a Special Term of the Supreme Court. BUFFALO, Sept. 15.—Governor Odell announced to-day that he had declined to call a speclal term of the Supreme Court to try the murderer of President McKin- ley, because he believed that haste was not necessary. He said the District At- torney had assured him that the Grand Jury would indict and the case be on trial within fifteen days. To . call a special term and get a jury assembled would take more_time than that. The assassin is in the Erie County Penitentiary. SCHLEY COURT OF INQUIRY WILL NOIJ.‘ MEET TO-DAY Admiral Dewey Says the Investiga- tion May Be Resumed Next Friday or Saturday. WASHINGTON, Sept. 15. — Admiral Dewey has recalled the notice sent out by him for the meeting to-morrow of the Schley court of inquiry. It was first in- tended that the members should assemble to-morrow and adjourn immediately after adopting resolutions of condolence.

Minister Ar- raigns Sensational P Amazing Spread of Anarchism Demands Immediate Gor- emment Action, _— ¢ Speclal Dispatch to The Call. POMONA, Secpt. 15.—After eloquently eulogizing President McKinley as a man, a Christian and the highest representative of the best political government on the globe in a powerful, uplifting memorial sermon_delivered at Pilgrim Congrega- tional Church to-day, the Rev. Dr. Lucien H. Frary, one of the leading Congrega- tional ministers of Southern California, spoke with fervor upon what he termed a characteristic Zmerican sin, namely, disregard of law, human and divine. He deplored the amazing spread of anarchy and lawlessness and reminded his hearers that the blow struck at Buffalo was at this free and popular government, which can only be maintained as the law-abid- ing spirit is cherished and intensified among all classes and conditions. Then Dr. Frary launched fearlessly into an arraignment of yellow journalism, aimed directly at the Examiner. “In_the line of lawlessness,” he sald, “we have been recreant in the degree to which we have permittd the Satanic press of the country to caricature, vilify and malign men occupying the highest sta- tions in the gift of the people. I refer to the foul, sensational and salacious San Francisco Examiner and those of its kind that appeal to the basest passions of the ignorant, inflaming those passions to the point of assassination. To charge men like President McKinley with being in league with monopolists to crush the laboring man and starve his family, to ridicule month after month by coarse joke and cartoon our highest officers, and thus break down the respect of the young and embitter the minds of the multitude with imaginary evils and wrongs, the Exam- iner custom is to sow the wind and reap the whirlwind. It is the duty of the press hengeforth to help purify our nation of moral pollution, to silence the sensation- alist and the slanderer in its own calling and to do what it ean.to aid the adminis- tration, both National and State, in its duty to sweep the continent clean of an- archists from shore to shore. NATIONAL GUARD OF OHIO WILL DO POLICE DUTY Troops Will Guard the Roadway in Canton From the Church to the Cemetery. CLEVELAND, Sept. 15.—Plans for the mobilization of the Ohio National Guard at Canton to take part in the final ob- sequies of the late President were per- fected at a-meeting of the State officials to-day. The entire guard of the State, numbering about 5000 men, hag been or- dered to report for duty tn Canton by Wednesday noon. This includes infantry, cavalry troops, batteries and naval re- serves. The troops will be camped on the edge of the city and will be used for police duty. Shoulder to shoulder on both sides of the wide street leading from the depot to the church the militia will be drawn up in line and through their ranks all that is mertal of their once beloved com- mander in chief will be borne. Then from the church down the two miles of roadway to the cemetery the mil- itary will guard the way. With the men stationed a few feet apart the long lines will stretch from the church to the grave. | Between their lines again the casket will be borne. - RELATIVE OF THE LATE PRESIDENT DIES SUDDENLY Excitement Consequent Upon tke Assassination Kills Dr. William McKinley of Pennsylvania. FRANKLIN, Pa., Sept. 15.—Late last night Dr. WiJliam McKinley,*one of the best known practicing physicians in this county, and a distant reiative of the late President McKinley was found dead at his home at Polk. a few miles from this city. On Saturday Dr. McKinley was in Franklin, and with much emotion_dis- cussed the shooting and the death of the late President with friends here. Dr. McKinley was of a-highly nervous disposition, and at different times during these discussions he became greatly ex- cited over the assassination.

PARIS, Sept. 15.—The' tragic death of President ° McKinley seems to have prompted even more stringent precautions in connection with the coming of Emper- or Nicholas than were contemplated last week. For instance, in the squares and streets of Rheims through which the im- perial cortege will pass, absolutely no spectators will be allowed. The sidewalks will be occupied by troops. A glimpse of the Czar will be only obtainable from win- dows along the line of the route. Similar measures will be enforced at Compeigne and the town will belong to the police and not to the inhabitants for the time. A Marsellles dispatch announces the ar- rest there of “eight . anarchists—Italians, Spaniards and including Prudent. one of the chiefs of the Mafia, and a friend of Brescf and Cesarlo. A number of Russian political detectives have been disturbed in the large cities ‘where anarchist groups exist.

MANILA, ‘Sept. 15—The profcundest grief is manifested by every class in the community over the death of President McKinley.

PRESS OF RUSSIA PAYS TRIBUTE TO THE DEAD‘ American Officials in St. Petersburg | Attend Special Services in the Anglican Church. ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 15.—The all- absorbing topic in St. Petersburg to-day was the death of President McKinley. The Novoe Vremya says: He was a man of large talents and a beloved son of the country for whose welfare he un- ceasingly and successfully labored. The Boerse Gazette says: Mr. McKinley was one of the most popular figures in American history and cne of the best representatives of American ideals. Mr. Roose- velt admires McKinley's steadiast purity and | the programme In which he incorporated the hopes and ambitions of a great majority of the | American people. Opinion in Europe regarding Pan-Americaniem may possibly be divided, but it is comprehensive from the American point of view. Mr. McKinley died firmly belleving that the work he had begun in domestic and foreign policy would find suitable instrument for its continuation. The semi-offictal Journal of Commerce . and Industry says: Mr. McKinley was not an extreme protection- | ist. Shortly before his death he spoke out | against crude trust protection. i American offictals in St, Petersburg to- | day attended services at the Anglican | church, where a dead march was rendered | and sultable hymns were sun Special services were also English church in Moscow. et o Anarchist Meetings Forbidden.
