Gladstone and other | FIND THEIR SON IN AN ASYLUM Sad Mission Brings an English Couple to This State. i Are Unable to Obtain Their Boy’'s Release From the Napa Hospital. e Speclal Dispatch to The Call. REDDING, Oct. 28.—Pathetic is the case of.John N. Gatherne, a young Eng- lishman of good family, who came o Redding for his health some time ago. His mind failed and he was committed to Napa Asylum. His wealthy parents have hurried over from England to his succor, only to be confronted at the asylum by the refusal of the authorities to allow them to take their boy home with them. Gatherne came to Redding more than He had been in delicate health at the country seat of his parents in England, and it was hoped the change would benefit him. It is now said he hal suffered some mental trouble. A friend had assured Gatherne in London of the wildness of the country and its necessi- ties, and he arrived with seven trunks full of outlandish cowboy outfits, small arms and ammunition. He joined the English colony, rode the range for his health, be- came popular socially and ranked as one of the best tennis players of the county. A month ago Gatherne became pos- sessed of the hallucination that he was being pursued by murderers. He grew violent and was put in a padded cell. In a week he was liberated, with a guard, and his condition was cabled to his par- ents. No answer came back. Gatherne grew violent again and was committed to Napa Insane Asylum by Judge Edward Sweeney. It seems that J. Gatherne and his wif2 sailed immediately from London upon learning of their son's dementia. They wired ahead while coming from New York, and learning that he was in Napa, went thither. The officials, when askel to allow them to take their son, who 1s | no longer violent, back to England, saii they had no power to do so after his com- mitment. The distracted parents came here and learned the full circumstance: and to-day went back to Napa. They will take the case into court, if possible. in an attempt to force the delivery of their unfortunate son to them. BUILDING COKE OVENS AT CARBONADO MINES Move Made N:cesss.ry by the Rapid Substitution of California Oil for Coal. TACOMA, Oct. Seventy large mod- ern coke ovens)are being built at Carbon- ado by the ,Southern Pacific Railway; which owns the Carbon Hill coal mines, having a daily capacity of more than 1000 This enterprise is one of the direct introduction of oil as fuel locomotives of the South- ern Pacific at Oakland and San Francisco. For many years every pound of coal which the Carbon Hill mines could supply has been shipped by fast steam colliers to those cities. The demand was lessened, commencing® about a year ago, and for a time it was intended fo restrict the output at Carbonado. Superintendent Davies had long known that the Carbon Hill coal was good for coking purposes. and he therefore recom- mended that coke ovens be built. After due investigation this'course was deter- mined upon. The output will be shipped to the smelters in Tacoma, Everett, Mon- tana and British Columbia. Likens Given His Freedom. SANTA ROSA, Oct. 28.—J. Levi Likens of Healdsburg, charged with responsibil- ity for the death of Warren Rogers, with whom he had a fight a short time ago, has been discharged from custody. At the preliminary examination the evidence did not show anything that tended to connect him with the death of Rogers. In his ante- mortem statement Rogers charged Likens with being responsible for his condition. The posp-mortem examination revealed the fact that death was due to gangrene of the lungs, caused by pneumonia. Goes to San Quentin. NAPA, Oct. 28—H. C.

The Gov- ernment has finished its casc, with the exception of placing twco other witnesses on the stand, men who have not yet arrived from Nome. To-day the attorneys representing the respondent, Arthur H. Noyes, will appear before Judges Ross, Morrow and Gilbert, sitting as the Circuit Court of Appeals, and ask'for a continuance until such time as the court may designate just what portion They allege that the testimony so far pro- duced is largely hearsay, opinion and deduction. Their arguments will rest on these allegations. shall be et by them. <+ ULL of argument were the Nome contempt proceedings yesterday morning, both before Commis- sloner Heacock and the Circult Court of Appeals. It was a day for the lawyers to play the batteries of speech, and they indulged themselves un- til the curtain fell. True to his promise, Amicus Curiae Pillsbury put Deputy Marshal Burnham on the stand and the examination of this witness ushered in the day. His testi- mony was adduced for' the purpose of contradicting Thomas J. Geary’s state- himself did not confer on the day of Mec- Kenzie's arrest. Geary was recalled, and following him on the witness chair was William F. Britt, at present a reporter on The Call, but who at the time of the Mc- Kenzie-Noyes regime was a reporter on the Nome Chronicle. - Britt told his story, which concerned a meeting between Noyes and_McKenzie in Geary s office the very day McKenzie was arrested. This provoked the temper of Attorney Francis J. Heney, who, in the absence of Judge McLaughlin, played the part of cross-ex- aminer. - Heney came into the courtroom yester- day morning, his heart surcharged with indignation and his temper bristling at all points. In yesterday’s Call there appeared on the last page article concerning Judge Noyes, McKenzie and the rest of the Nome ring. Heney had read it before coming into court. So had Judge Mc- Laughiin and the two sang a duet, ‘Scan- dalous! Scandalous!” every time The Call's article came to their attention. When Heney reached the tail end of his examination he asked Britt: rite that article in to-day’s Veeding Out Noyes' Gang Up at Nome’ Britt declined to answer, and neither the soft cajolery of- Heney's voice nor hi§ brusque, impatient manner could the witness to go further. Heney's 7pg- tience gave out finally and he took the matter before the Circuit Court of ‘Ap- peals for a certification. The court. sus- tained Britt in his refusal to satisfy the longings of Mr. Heney in his attempt to obtain information which he thought should go into the record. Sustain Britt’s Refusal. According to prearrangement the attor- neys for respondent Noyes and the amicus curiae were to appear before the Court of Appeals and argue whether or not a con- tinuance should be granted the respon- dents in the present examination.. 1 matter and the Britt refusal came up’ suc- cessively. So, after two hours of hagaling and testimony taking before the Commis- sioner the lawyers and witnesses flocked out of one courtroom and settled them- selves in the other. The scene was changed from a rather informal court to the dignified procedure of the Federal- tri- bunal, with the three Justices, Gilbert, Ross and Morrow, on the bench. Heney made a statement of the Britt episode and asked the court to issue an order compelling the witness to answer the question. For the sake of argument Heney was willing to consider the ques- tion whether Britt was biased or preju- iced, as already asked. The reason of stion, Heney stated to the court, was to attack the credibility of the wit- The three Judges put their heads ther and Judge Gilbert announced that the objection was sustained. Then the court had to listen to another argument from the wrangling attorneys. Judge McLaughlin wants a letter which he thinks E. S. Pillsbury has in his pos- sion. During the taking of testimony in the morning Judge Johnson of Nome was recalled to the stand and crossrex- | amined on a letter which he signed and { which it is claimed was sent to Pills- bury, asking for the protection of W. T. Hume and his immunity from punish- ment on account of his efforts to furnish information against the Noyes regime. McLaughlin _demanded that the letter be produced. Pillsbury, without denying or admitting the receint of the letter, said | he didn’t see by what right the respon- dents should ask for private papers. {5 Letter for the Court. | This was the second contention aired | before the court. Pillsbury sald he would cheerfully present the letter to the court GOWBOYS PLAN UNIQUE PARADE Will Visit Washington Dressed in the Garb of the Range. | | DENVER, Oct. 23.—President | W.

Pillsbury declared that he was East when the letter arrived, if it ever came to his office, and that he had no recollection of seeing it at any time. The the amicus curiae was requested to favor the court with the letter. Argument three was next heard. Judge McLaughlin, who has been {ll during the last few days, was on hand to fight this battle. He said that owing to the char- acter of the testimony that had been read and entered in the record he wished the court to designate just which por- tions should be met, and he.asked for ment that Judge Noyes and McKenzie and ! time to present this matter to the court. | Pilllsbury and Heney came into this con- | flict of words and so did Judge Maguire, who begged of the court to decide the Geary contempt at once as all the evi- dence was taken on this case. The court told Maguire he was one of many, an that he. should wait until all the testi- mony was inscribed for their judicial cognizance. Judge McLaughlin was given until to-day at 11 o'clock to present his arguments for a continuance. Meeting in Geary’s Office. Kenzle In Geary's rooms after the arrest. saw Noyes in the rooms.

He was in Albuquerque as long as his money lasted, | expecting every day to hear from an ap- | plication_ for a pension which he had | made.

Gold-Bearing Deposit Is of Low Grade,but Seemingly Inexhaustible. SITKA, Alaska, Oct. 19 (via Seattle, Oct. 28).—According to reliable informa- tion recently received here, the. Rodman Bay mines are likely to exceed in magni- tude the famous Tréadwell mines on Douglass Island. Rodman Bay is about sixty miles from Sitka and the mines are located on Baranoff Island, in a valley elght miles from tidewater. The mines are operated by the Rodman Bay Com- pany, a corporation financed principally with English capital. The ore tested shows itself to be of a low grade, but in great quantity. It is belleved that the mountain, at the foot of which the shafts will be sunk, is a solid mass of low-grade ore, running from $ to $4 to the ton. Work jon_all the mines in the vicinity of Silver Bay, seven miles from Sitka, has been pushed to the utmost this sum- mer. Work on the immense Government coal shed at Japonsky Island was stopped for a'few hours this week by reason of a strike. There has long been bitterness between the men and Foreman Young. A new foreman was appointed and peace ‘was restored. The last vestige of the smallpox scare disappeared a week ago, when permis- sion was granted the Indians to go on the dock when steamers were in port. This had not been allowed for more than six months for fear of contagion. Homer Bird, who has once been sen- tenced to death for murder in Alaska, is again on trial for his life in Juneau. About six years ago Bird, in company with three male comrades and one fe- male, were gold prospecting on the Yu- kon. They were living on a small boat. According to the testlmony introduced, Bird shot two of his companions without cause and drove another ashore. The woman escaped. Bird was caught through the efforts of the man who was driven ashore. He was tried, convicted adn sentenced to be hanged, but was granted a new trial through technicalities. PRODUCES EARLIER WILL OF WILLIAM H. HOWARD Widow of the Late Capitalist Will Fight the Testament Already on File. REDWOOD CITY, Oct. 28.—A second will of the late Willlam H. Howard was filed here for probate to-day by the widow, who asks that she be appointed executrix thereof. This will was exXe- cuted in 1887, while the first one filed bears date eleven years later. By the terms of the will last in date most of the property of deceased goes to the children, five in number. Mrs. Anma D. Howard, the widow, gets but a one- sixth interest in certain personal prop- erty. Under the will filed to-day the homestead property at San Mateo, com- prising 350 acres of land, with the im- provements thereon, and all the furni- ture, carriages, Wworks of art, silver, books and personal effects, are given to her absolutely, and all the residue of the roperty, real and personal, is given to Ber’in Yrust, the income to be applied to her own support and the education and maintenance of her children. A lively legal battle is expected when the case comes up for hearing. 5\ ANILS FROM SN JOSE TO MLUSD Eastern Capitalists Pur- chase a Right of Way. Ay Electric Cars Will Soon Con- nect the Garden City With the Bay. Special Dispatch to The Call SAN JOSE, Oct. 28.—San Jose and Al- viso are to be gonnected by an electric railway, which will handle freight and passengers. Eastern capitalists are in- terested in the project, and they have purchased the right of way obtained a few years ago by the San Jose and Al- viso Rallroad Company for a steam rail- road. Just who is back of the project is not known, and one rumor has it that the road will be used for the Santa Fe, which will make boat connection at Al- viso. Work is to be rushed, and, it Is said, cars will be running in a few months. The purchasers were here a few weeks ago looking over the ground, but they left without disclosing their plans. A fine terminal site of sixty acres goes with the property. It is right on tidewater at Alviso, and now that the government has just completed dredging the slough the property is valuable. The right of way is sixty feet wide, and extends a distance of eight miles. The old Llan of the San Jose and: Alviso Railroad in- tended the terminal to be near the Hotel Vendome, and it is belleved this new cor- poration has made arrangements for sta- tion facilities in about the same place. Only light grading will have to be done, and it would take but a few months’ work to put the line into operation. A fast steamer service between Al- viso and San Francisco will connect with the new road, and that it will be an ac- tive comgeutur with the Southern Pacific for freight and passengers is assured. Alviso will probably experience a boom, for within a month a line of automobiles will be running between that place and San Jose, and another electric road. to be huilt by San Jose capital, is among the possibilities. “CATTLE KING” MILLER SUED FOR SLANDER Monterey Oounty—stoekmm Resents Alleged Aspersions in a Letter. SALINAS, Oct. 28.—Lee H. Davis, a prominent rancher an dstockman, this afternoon commenced suit for $10,000 dam- ages against Henry Miller, the “Cattle King.” The complaint ckarges that Mil- ler, while in Merced a short time ago, wrote to Louls Herstoff of San Francisco and Salinas a letter which referred to trouble Miller had had with County Treasurer Taylor of Salinas and Tayior's brother of Priest Valley aver some cat- tle.
