R ol B COMETO Y 70 00 NURDER Highbinders Here Open a Bloody Struggle. to As a result of the shooting of Yee Ket n Spofford alley Saturday night the tong to which the victim belongs has declared war on the Suey Dun Tong, and'a high- | binder war is imminent. Last night an extra detail of police was placed in China- town to prevent other tragedies which the inhabitants of the quarter expect at the first opportunity found by the gunmen. It is known now that Ket was shot be- cause be beat Sing Tom, an actor, in Ross alley Saturday morning. The Chinese have a distinct aversion for theatrical people. They consider them of the lowest | in the scale of society. Yee Ket shared this contempt, and When he met the | Thespian he pummeled him and left him unconscious in the alley. | Sing Tom's tong took the matter up and demanded his assailant’s death. The high- binders started on their grim missi found their man during the evening. Ho Ling, one of the highbinders, was arrested and will be charged with the crime by Detective Ed Gibson. Sunday night Ket's tong held a meeting and de- B304 to svenge the shooting of its men ber. About twenty notorious and danger- ous gunmen arrived vesterday from the interior of the State and prepared for | work. Policemen were placed in places where the Chinese congregate and were |instructed to search every suspicious looking Mongolian. Walling Has Not Disappeared. The bonds of Julius M. Walling, charged | with grand larceny for stealing two valu- able diamonds from Mrs. Annie E. D#dge, 519 Taylor street, were declared forfeited | by Judge Cook, Friday, as Walling failed to appear for arraignment, and a bench warrant was issued for his arrest. Yes- terday General W. H. L. Barnes explained to the court that the District Attorney | had neglected to notify him of the calling | of the case and that Walling was at his | | father's home in Nevada City and would ' | appear at the next calling of the case. | | The Judge, under the circumstances, } withdrew the bench warrant and the for- [ feiture of the bonds and continued the | | case until Tuesday next. | | ———— | Amateurs to Box. | Eight special matches between clever | amateurs will furnish sport for the spec- | tators at the San Francisco Athletic | | Club’s monthly exhibition next Friday | | night.

IR ' There is a “Hamlet” down at the Grand Opera-house this week that is well worth seeing. It is “Hamiet™ with a Hamlet that will live in worthy memory and a performance that is througnout marked vy atmosphere ana dignity, if not always distinction. ‘There were no disasters in . and the nobie spirit of the pluy e lifted the players to their ‘this is Joseph Haworth's last week here, and he has given us his best in Hamlet. His distinguishing virtues find n the role their highest exercise. Ham- let in his hands is a noble Dane, indeed. ‘fhe lines are given with marked beauty of cadence and measure, the gestures are sensitive and Impassioned and pictur- esque, and Mr. Haworth has the happi- ness fo lock the sable-suited Hamlet most admirably. A thought too virile for the lovable dreamer the conception is at times, perhaps, but the emotional empha- sls is' mostly subject to the nicest judg- ment and a finely truthful instinct. All the poetry is to be found in his reading, too, the soliloquies in particular being given with much grace, and altogether for Mr., Haworth’s work alone this ““Ham- let” of the week is well worth seeing. Perhaps Polonius, done by Hal de For- rest, was the next best thing in the cast after Hamlet. Mr. de Forrest painted a passing good portrait_of the garrulous lord chamberlain and fell admirably into the picture. Mr. Mayall is not so well cast this week as Laertes as he was last s Bassanio. It is a thin, unwilling Laer- tes, lacking life except in spots. Mr. Mayall makes x better lover than brother. Claudius is sleepily handled by Charles Smiley, who takes his troublous concerns o'er lightly. H. D. Byers and Aimar Ac- ton do good work with the first and sec- ond grave diggers’ parts, and the ghost act went off without disaster and with the real thrill, Miss Adele Belgarde, the clever Portia of last week, has neitner the physique nor accent for the distraught Ophelia, though in the mad scene she was force ful and even graceful, but it is “Oh, Wil low, waly!” when she sings! Agnes Maynard showeG some power in the part of the Queen of Denmark. The play is cffectively staged, will go more smoothly to-night than last night and should ce* tainly be seen. Tivoli. “The Masked Ball” received its first presentation this season at the Tivoli last night, and an enthusiastic house attested appreciation of the Verdi opera. "the plece was well dressed and mounted assisted by Steindorff tion of the work. Montanari has not been so well heard before this season as she was in the role of Amelia. Her voice was clear, ringing and intensely dramatic, and her acting convineing. Agostini_as Ricardo scored as heavily One can always depend on his reaching every note he attempts; there is no tense strain of the nerves or muscles for fear of a break. When he is on the stage it is sim- ply a case of sit back, listen and enjo Renato’s song in the first act by Ferrari was one of the treats of the evening, and in fact, his barytone was effective throughout. Repetto was in fine voic and made a dainty figure as the page. Nigolini and Zani as the two conspira~ tors_were strong, and Pollettini's singing of Ulrica was a well studied effort. male chorus deserves a its concentrated work —well, the Tivoll mus depended upon. To-night “Nabucco” will be repeated the that made the opera well talked of two weeks ago. On Mo day next the Tivoll will have a ‘Verdi to celebrate the birthday of the great Italian composer. The nd the orchestra ans can always be Alcazar. “Too Much Johnson,”- the comedy pre- sented at the Alcazar Theater last night should be styled *“‘a cure for the blues. The cozy little theater was crowded and people laughed to their hearts’ content from the rise to the fall of the curtain, Every member of the company seemed admirably suited to his or her part, and the result was a clear-cut and artistic performance. Every ludicrous point and situation was thoroughly grasped by the audlence-and the merriment was sponta- neous and irresistible. M. L. Alsop, the new leading man, made the most that could be got out of the part of Mr. Augus- tus Billings, the man of the magnificent nerve and resource, and he seemed to revel in the part. He showed that in light comedy: he is quite at home. George Webster as Joseph Johnson, Howard Scott as Mons. Leon Dathis and Frank Bacon as Francis Faddish helped mate- rially to keep up the fun, and each did a clever plece of character work. Paul Gerson, Carlyle Moore and Barton Hill had congenial parts. Miss Alberta Con- verse was Mrs. Augustus Billings, and she interpreted the part in a quiet, ladylike manner that charmed the audience. Miss Marie Howe was in her element as the mother-in-law, and Miss Carrie Lamont was fetching as Leonora Faddish. Every- thing went with a swing and the curtain had to be raised several times after the close of each act. Alhambra. The Brownies give their farewell per- formances at the Alhambra this afternoon and to-night. The show has proved to be the best entertainment by children ever offered in this city, and a large patronage at each performance has been the result. Lopita, Benny Learner, Gladys Montague, the .Cook sisters, Baby Keife and a host of others have become great favorites, and the costumes and scenery give color and brlihtness to the fairy fantasy. Seats are to be had at Sherman & Clay’s and at the theater. TO SPEAK ON BABYLON.—Rev. William H. Brigg will dellver a lecture Thursday even- ing, October 10, in Occidental Hall of the on “Discoveries in EXPERT GETS POSITION.—J. T. McMillan, nautical expert, has been appointed to assume charge of the branch hydrographic office. The position was formerly fliled by Lieutenant Coin- mander J. B. Milton. LECTURE AT GRACE CHURCH.—Dr. W. W. Case will lecture Tuesday evening, Octo- ber § on “‘What 1 Saw in Europe and Pales- tine.”” at the Grace Methodist Church, corner of Twenty-first and Capp streets. No admis- sion will be charged. Orpheum. There was the customary crush at the Orpheum last night, and every number on the new programme was well re- ceived. The Sisters O'Meers present the most graceful ang, daring tight wire per- formance ever seen in this city, while the comedy work of O'Meers pere cheers things up immensely. Bell Thorne, the sang three so- rano numbers in excellent voice, and itchell and Barnard, tenor and bary- tone, contributed pleasing solos and duets. “‘Buster,” a diminutive five-year- old comedian, is easily the star of the Keaton family, and he succeeds in keep- ing the house in roars of laughter while he is on the stage. Boyce and Wilson, t..e song and dance men, are even better than they were last week. Madge Fox has a lot of new coon shouting, and Wil- fred Clarke and his company continue thelr amusing sketch, ‘“‘Oscar’s Birth- day.” The Svengalis. who are in their last week, and new moving pictures on the blograph, complete an excellent bill. California. Everybody does not like to be deceived, but those who see Herrmann at the Cali- fornia Theater gladly admit that thoe de- ception he practices upon them at that theater is a little bit more than they can fathom, even when it is all over. Opinions are divided as to what is his most clever llugion. His “Escape From Sing-8ing” divides the attention of the audience with his {llusion of “Noah's Ark, or, After the Flood." “The Turkish Elopemeént” might easily be utilized to draw down a prince’s ransom, even from a band of Bulgarian bandits. The vau- deville part of the programme is also an cxcellent part, that seems to rest the rd of praise for | | IGNORANT MM i WD PLAE David Starr Jordan Dis- courses on Benefits of Liearning. ¢ Advises Young Men to Take Advantage of Every Opportunity. Professor David Starr Jordan lectured last evening at the auditorium of the Young Men’s Christian Association on the “Importance of HBducated Young Man- hoou.” Mr. Jordan said In part: The particular kind of truth that I am to set_forth to-night is that it is an advantage to the community to have the men in the com- munity educated. There are a great many reasons why & young man should educate him- self. He is worth a geod deal more to him- self; the whole of your life must be spent in Your own company, and only the educated man is good company. 1f you have missed oppor- tunities in the past make up for lost time by getting your education in the very. best way. To educate yourself is to give yourself a broader horlzon so that you can better look at the affairs of man. An uneducated man does not know what is going on or what the various movements In the world signify. The educated man is brought in contact with reality. The educated man knows how to do things; to select some few things and learn how to do them well. It 1s the business of higher education to teach wis- dom and virtue and skill. Wisdom is know- ing what you ought to do next; virtue is just doing it, and skill is the ability to do it in the best possible way. Education teaches the: things, gives wisdom, virtue and skill. *For a man to have died who might have been wise and was not,”” says Carlisle, “this I call a tragedy.” To go through life uneducated is a tragedy. The man who is ignorant in the community is so much dead weight. 1f he can do some- thing pretty well he is, so far as that skill goes, an educated man. The absolutely un- skilled laborer has no place in the communits. The whole community is interested in having every child brought to some sort of skill, and every child, rich or poor, ought to be some kind of a laborer. There should be no place in the community for any man or woman hav- ing nothing to do. A Young man should so conduct himself from day to day that his future self shall have no remorse. We should live so that our futurz selves can have nothing to reproach us with; that s, keep clean and know the truth and know the thing that needs doing. Keep your body clean from drink, from any drug, from vice, so that the older man will have a goud sound body to work with. Keep the nervous system clean; the mind clean from poor jokes, cheap music, cheap things of any kind. Treat Yourselves as a delicate child that you would keep away from bad things. Keep the soul clean from vice, from envy, from impure thoughts, from anger. Keep from misery. You have no right to be miserable and gloomy. Know the truth. Knowledge gives a man a higher class of pleasure. Do the things that need doing. The educated man fe In_some degree an antidote to the saloon. In Germany every teacher is thoroughly traned. Where that prevails their schools are better than where they have political jobbers or where they put in the impoverished widows or the impoverished daughters of widows simply because they need the money. I have no sym- pathy with the feeling that charges too much cducation. If every man and woman had a college education and a professional training there would always be plenty for him to do in that line. I belleve it should be part of our education to teach loyalty, just as we should be taught®respect for law and order. Every educated man Is law-abiding and loyal. The lecture was preceded by songs by the Young Men’'s Christian Assoclation Quartet, specialties by Willlam Hines and a piano solo by Miss Katharine Madden. BURGLARS MAKE HAUL IN CLAUS SPRECKELS’ MANSION Effect Entrance Through Rear Win- dow and Steal Jewels Valued at Five Thousand Dollars. While the family of Claus Spreckels was at dinner last night burglars entered hiz residence at Clay street and Van Ness avenue and carried away jewelry valued at $5000. An entrance was effected by the burglars through a rear window. The rooms in the upper part of the house were thoroughly ransacked. It was several hours after the burglary was committed before the police were no- tified. Word was then sent to Captain of Detectives Seymour, and he immediately dispatched the best officers at his com- mand to make an investigation. A list of all the missing jewelry was furnished the detectives, but as the bur- glars left no clew the task of locating the valuables will he a hard one. When the family returned to the upper portion of the. house everything was found in disorder. Bureau drawers were ransacked and dressing tables were turned inside out. ————— TRAINING TABLE IS STARTED. Stanford Football Players Must Set- tle Down to Work. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Oct. 7.—As a result of the poor showing made by the cardinal footbail team in the game with the Rellance eleven the Stanford coaches have decided to discipline the men by en- forcing stricter training rules and mak- ing all candidates live up to them. Here- after, say the coaches, there will be no dancing or similar amusements for foot- ball men on nights preceding varsity games, which means every Friday night. Other restrictions of like nature will be instituted, and twenty-one varsity candi- dates will be put on the training table, which was started at the Alto Hotel in Palo Alto to-night. Those who will eat at the training table at present are: . 8. Kisher, R. A. Thompson, W. L. Tracger, H. W. Hill, A. R. Dole, ¥. L. Slaker, C. Hayden, C. B. Raitt, C. D. Hauverman, R. B.

The Central Theater presented a strong melodrama last evening, entitled, “Bea- con Lights.” It was given an excellent production. The plot is laid on the fron- tier between New Mexico and the South- ern republic, and is a succession of strong and exciting incidents, which serve to introduce a motley array of the strange and novel characters which are the product of border life. The play was elaborately staged, and for a first perfor- mance was unusually smooth. The large audience was one of the most enthusias- tic_seen at the Central for some time, and the piece is sure to play to packed houses during the week. Among those who deserve special men- tion are: Willard Blackmore, James Cor- rigan, George Nicholls, Edwin T. Emery, Ernest Howell: Miss Annette Marshail, Oza Waldrop and Little Ojlie Cooper. Fischer’s Concert House. One of the best programmes in the history of Fischer's Concert House was given last night. Sylvia Puerari, the fa- vorite contralto, was warmly applauded for her Italian and English songs in cos- tume, and Sydney Smith, a pretty and graceful tiny girl dancer, made an im- mediate hit and was loaded down with flowers. Watson, Davenport and Hamil- ton gave an_ amusing skit, “Masked Love'; Roebel Simms, styled the “Tramp Cartoonist,” pleased the packed house, and Sam_ Holdsworth, the popular tenor, changed his selections. Valkyra, an e: traordinary hand balancer, and Bartel- mes, a novelty foot juggler, furnished ihe acrobatic portion of the péerformance. Val Vgusden proved a clever entertaine; .»ugus®? Hinrichs’ vielin solo, Gounod “Ave Maria,” was enthusiasticall cored and his excellent orchestra was to its usual high standard. Chutes. A large audience enjoyed the new bill at the Chutes last night. Wise and Mil- ton scored a big hit with their clever comedy act, Richards and Relyea present a novel acrobatic act and Mlle. Lotty appears in a series of new poses. Other 00d numbers are the Berlin Sisters, re- finea vocalists; Carter Brothers, contor- tionists, And the Carlson Sisters, clever juveniles. A serles of new moving pict- ures, including McKinley's funeral cor- tege at Washington, are also shown. TRIBUTE PAID NOBLE WONAN Daughters of Confeder- acy Honor President Mrs. Weed. s Meet in Annual Convention and Select New State Officers. The United Daughters’of the Confeder- aey tendered a cordial reception yester- day afternoon at 2111 California street to their national president general, Mrs. E. G. Weed, wife of Right Rev. Bishop Weed of Florida, who is attending the Episcopal convention in this city. Almost all the local Daughters of the Confederacy and many delegates from the southern part of the State took advantage of the opportunity of paying their- respects to their national officer. The home in which the reception was held was magnificently decorated for the occasion. A huge American flag covered one of the walls of the parlor in whieh the daughters extended cordial greeting to Mrs. Weed. Side by side with the na- tional banner floated the emblems which every daughter of the Confederacy holds so dear. ‘The proximity of the two ban- ners sl;i'nlfled that it is one of the chief aims of the loyal daughters of the Old of national unity. The afternoon was most delightfully passed with reminis- cences of the days of the Confederacy and of the times before the war. y Previous to the reception to President General Mrs. Weed the regular annual convention of the Daughters of the Con- federacy was held. Twelve delegates, several of whom represented branches in the southern part of the State, were pres- ent. The business before the convention at its initial session was the election of officers. The election resulted as follows: Honorary president, Mrs. John Shirley Ward of Los Angeles; president, Mrs. L. ‘Wright; vice president; Mrs. L. R. Thor and Mrs. Mattie L. Davis; secretary, Mr B. F. Church: treasurer, Mrs. L. M. Fletcher; historian, Mrs. A. H. Lacy. It was declded to hold the next con- vention at Los Angeles on the first Mon- day of next October. The convention will meet in its final session on Thursday. SACRAMENTO ELEVEN BEATS THE CHAMPIONS Alameda Cricket Team Visits Capital City and Suffers Defeat by an * Ample Margin.

SR Asserts Belief That Adams Was Insane at Time of Shooting. —_— Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Oct. H. M. Rowell. Health Officer of Berkeley, was an important witness to- day in the Adams murder case. Dr. Row- €ll not only asserted his belief that Ad- ams was insane at the time of the shoot- ing. but bore out the theory of the de- fense that Adams shot Dr. Jessup in self- defense. He had warned Jessup that Ad- ams was insane and dangerous. “Were you ever called to attend Mr. dams professionally?” was asked of Dr. Rowell. _'‘Yes; prior to the shooting (May 26, I think it was) 1 was called to his house and found hifn suffering from delirfum tremens. I did not treat him then, but later in the day gave kim something to quiet his nerves. When I returned a day or two afterward he had recovered some- what from his_delirfum, but still talked incoherently, He complained of pains in the back of his head and between inter- als of barking and yelling he would say. God's sake, doctor, stop that pamn in the back of my head.’ After a few days he got over his illusions about little ] I didn'c see him again until the Saturday before the shooting.” “Describe what occurre day before the shooting.’ “I-should say his conduct was about the same as before, though the symptoms of acute delirium had passed off somewhat. I would say that he was then just deli- ricusly drunk. His lacguage was inco- herent, his eyes twitched and he had a peculiar bark like a young dog.” “Did vou have any conversation with him_ then?” “Yes; he talked a great deal. His pe- culiar lay was literature, of which he thought he was a great critic. He thought himself the peer of any living author—he ought himself supreme as a litterateur. e used to rail about what he called the fallacies of ‘The Christian,” By Hall Caine. I was surprised that he considered himself so capable.” Believes Adams Was Insane. “From your observations of Mr. Adams d on the Satur- | state whether you think he was sane or insane at the time of the shooting of Dr. Jessup.” “in my opinion he was decidedly in- sane.” After getting Dr. Rowell's opinion upon Adams’ sanity at the time of the shoot- ing, the attopneys for the defense brought out from the witness that Dr. Jessup had on several occasions made threats against the person of Adams. This testimony the prosecution was unable to break down on cross-examination. Did you know Dr. Jessup well?' was ked Dr. Rowell. “Yes, 1 knew him quite well.” “Did you-ever have any conversation him in regard to Adam: e: What was it “Dr. Jessup said to me on the Sunday before the shooting, while we were walk- ing from my office. “This man has not any gun; T'll go to his room and beat his —— head off. The man’s a bully, and I mean to beat his head off. “What occurred before this conversa- tion you speak of that should have jed . Jessun to say those words?’ asked Deputy District Attorney Samuels on xaminaticn. ell, Dr. Jessup came runni out to my buggy in the street one dav and said to me, ‘You're the Health Officer of this town, and if you don't do somethin, to settle this thing I'll settle it myself. 3 i .” 1 told him it was nmot_my prerogative to restrain in- sane or drunken people, but that I would do everything I could to assist Adams’ family. Later when I saw him I told him 1 would see District Attornev Allen and take steps to have Adams confined. It was then he said that Adams had no pis- tol. I then warned him to be careful, as it was dangerous to interfere with an in- sane man.” “Did_Adams ever say anything to yom about his drinking habits?"” % “Yes: he said that he would quit drink- ing but for the pains in his head. He re- garded that necessity forced him to drinx in order to relieve his pain. Miss Agnes S. Adams was on the wit- ness stand all morning and until late this afterncon undergoing cross-examina- tion at the hands of the District Attorney. The prosecution was unable to shake her testimony, and_nothing of interest brought out. When she left the stand her father limped from his chair and ca- ressed her just before she resumed her seat beside him. — Dies of His Injuries. Gardner, engineer at Gray Brothers' quarry, corner of Seventeenth and Castro streets, who was scalded on the afterncon of September 29, died at a private sanitarium in this city last even- ing.
