NIDNAPERS HOLD COLOMIBIK' CHIEF Carry Aged President Sanclemente Into Captivity. Venerable Head of the Re- public Taken From H Home in Villeta. sy Special Dispatch to The Call. HONDA, Sept. 3, via New York, Nov. 3.—Dr. Manuel Antonic Sanclemente, the venerable President of the republic of Co- lombia, has been kidnaped by orders of political leaders, who had already stripped him of power. Locked in a guardo. a miserable parody on a sedan chalr in which courtiers once took their ease, he is being hurried over rough mountain roads from his home in Villeta. department of Cundinamareca, to his beau- “iful hiclenda known as Pichihiat, in the Upartment of Cauca. He must be ca~- d through the very heart of two great sains of the Andes, passing Honda, ‘anizales, Cartago, Tulua and Buga, twns which gave him cvations while hs Gercisied executive power. The greatest wrecy has been observed and every ef- ¥t has been made to prevent the facts Ycoming public for fear that friends and Zles of the deposed President might at- inpt to rescue him. No paper in the re- Iblic to-day would dare to print the bare &t that Sanclemente had left Villeta, Tich {ess that he was a prisoner.

The old gentleman merely stood his ground, continuing to regard himself as President and awaiting the moment when he wculd be recalled to authority. Those about him insist that he took no steps againit Vice President Marroquin's gov- ernment and that he scorned any form of counterplot. Rebels Are Still Active. The plea on which power had been taken from him was that he was superannuated and unable longer to discharge the duties of his office. Dr. Marroquin, upon whom the executive power was conferred, is in appearance very nearly as old. The revolution begain in_October, 1899, and lasted nine months. While Sancle- mente was President de facto his troops had destroyed the Liberal armies, but there were grave complaints because the ountry had not been entirely pacified. Marroquin has had charge for nearly fteert months and no apparent progress has b2en made. Armed bands still roam through the interior and the skirmishes that occur daily tend merely to demon- strate the vitality of the rebels. Bulletins are posted daily on the walls of Bogota and republished in little newspapers, an- nouncing great victories for the Govern- ment, here, there and everywhere. mente’ REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS. e L.

Long Journey in the Frozen ‘Wilds Nearly Ends in Tragedy. Special Dispatch to The Call. TACOMA, Wash., Nov. 3.—A thrilling tale of suffering and rescue in the nick of time is told by Captain Tuttle of the revenue cutter Bear, which is to sail for San Francjsco via Comox, B. C. It con- cerns Willlam Egan, sole survivor of the schooner Halcyon, which safled from Nome last November. Off Sledge Island the Halcyon was caught in- an ice fleld which drifted northward until January 8 last, when land was sighted forty miles away. By this time the entire crew had dled except Captain Thomas and Egan. They started | for land, but Captain Thomas gave out and tried to return to his imprisoned vessel. He has never since been heard of. Egan concluded that the land sigated was St. Lawrence Island and started for an Indian wviliage on its further shore. Egan’s provisions quickly gave out and he was reduced almost to the verge of starvation. He stumbled on a cache of walrus heads, and although they nad rotted and froze he chopped them with and gladly devoured them. Struggling onward he came to the wreck of a schooner which proved to be the Ecarett, which was lost in November, 1900, all of her crew starving to death | cxcept two men, one of whom died fromn the effects of trle privations he had en- dured. Egan discovered another cache of rotten | walrus meat and also devoured this. Then, overcome by the cold and suffer- ing, he gave up and lay down to sleep. | The next thmg he knew he was being aroused by ~natives shaking him and attempting 1o question | him. Although he was unable to| answer, the natives placed him on a sledge and carried him to the Northwest Cape missionary village of Gamble, where | Dr. - Lerrigo _ attended him. ~ Both hands and both feet were frozZen, but under Dr. Lerrigo’s treatment Egan es- caped with the loss of only a4 couple of fingers and is now employed as a herder at the Government Reindeer Station. The cutter Bear reached the station August 2 last and there Captain Tuttle —heard Egan's story. CELEBRATES EASTER AT THE HOLY SEPULCHER Rev. Father Caraher Vividly De- scribes Scenes at the Tomb of the Savior. “Easter at the Holy Sepulcher” was the subject of a lecture delivered by Rev. Father Terrence Caraher at St. Francis Church last night. The lecture was a ret- rospect of a mass celebrated by the lec- i turer in the chapel surrounding the sacred tomb of the Holy Savior in Palestine dur- ing a sojourn in the Holy Land. Father Caraher said that it was his privilege last Easter to officiate at mass, together witii three other priests, who had been accord- ed a like honor. His descriptions of the scenes and incidents in connection with an event which he said was one of the happiest in his life were vivid and inter- ested a large congregation. “Many had sought the privilege to say mass before our Lord’s tomb,” said Father Caraher, “and 1 had the distin- guished honor of representing the Eng- lish-speaking public at the imposing cere- mony. St. Helem was the first to locate the tomb of Jesus Christ, and she it was who erected the first church over the very spot where his remains were interred. Other tombs may surpass the holy sepul- cher in grandeur, but it far surpasses them all in the veneration and respect in whicn it is held by almost everybody on the face of the globe. It is the most sacred spot in all creation. It is the pivot on which the religlous world revolves, for it is the fountain from which Christianity springs forth. I was much impressed with th= solemnity of the occasion when I read the mass, and the uppermost thought in ‘my mind was the wonderful resurrection of the Redeemer after he had lain in his tomb for three dayvs.” —_————— Columbia Club_ Scores. The Columbia Pistol and Rifie Club had good weather conditions for its shoot,yes- terday. Ed Hovey did phenomenal shoot- ing with a 32-20 repeating rifle, making a run of thirteen consecutive shots in the 8-inch bullseve and 97 out of a possible 100 in twenty shots, Creedmoor count. He led in the military and repeating rifie match, though Young pressed him hard, making with his Sharp’s military rifle 459 in 100 shots, and scoring 233 out of 250 in a trial for the 50-shot record, Creedmoor count. The record is 236, made by Ed Hovey_with the same rifie several years ago. W. G. Hoffmann led in the 22-cali- ber rifle match, and Young was high in the pistol match, beating the best score (32) made in the club in two years by one point.

' Advices brought by the Dirigo are to the lect that navigation is practically at an end on the Yukon. On October 27 cake ice was running out of Pelly River into the Yukon and slush ice was running at Dawson, and the river was daily ex- pected to close. Great preparations-are being made at Dawson and during the winter there will be strong competition for over-ice travel. An opposition stage line will be put on. A large number of men are working on roads and trails and when the river. freezes everything will be In readiness for sledges. The revenue cutter Rush, with Goyer- ror Brady and the Rev.

H. Mullen of the Building Trades Council says the contro- versy that has split the organization he | represents is not a one-man proposition and denfes that he is the bone of conten- tion for the two fections that are waging war within the ranks of unionism. He asserts that it is a principle he and his frlends are fighting for, and that they stand between the opposing faction and | the utter destruction of the .Building Trades Council and its affillated organiza- | tions. Mr. Mullen explains as follows: The faction of the Bullding Trades Council opposed to us is claiming that all this trouble i due to the fact that J. H. Mullen is busi- nees agent. That, I deciare, is not o, and 1 deny it because 1 am in a position to know that 1 cut a very small figure in this contro- versy. are responsible for this disrupted Council why it is that a few months ago they made a de- liberate attempt to destrov the usefulness- of the Building ‘frades Council. They certainly | cannot claim that Mullen had anything to do with that attempt. I am prepared to hack up what I sey with proof and coln, and I offer to put up 3100 against $50 that I 'can establish to the satisfaction of an unbiased set of judges that what I say is true. I will show ‘where they struck at the constitution of the organi. zation and defled it on two or three occasions. The present controversy is the result of dis- satisfaction, among three of the unions with | the apportionment of delegates to the Council, that is, they claim it is, but_it appears to be the old fight over again. When the San Francisco Building Trades Councll settled our difficulties a while ago it was unanimously | agreed by all the unions that they should with- draw thelr old delegates and elect new. In- steag of choosing new delegates, however, the uniohs re-eiected the old, with the result that the fight ‘is renewed. Now they are Kkicking over the traces on this trumped-up cry of dis- proportion, and for mo other reason than lo kick up a row. Three of the unions—the carpenters, the paint- | ers and the longshoremen—have Withdrawn their delegates from the Council, but as have not been officially notified of this action by the unions I, as business agent, have not taken any action in the matter as yet. I don't know what I will do until I receive the official notification. I do know, however, that they | cannot organize another Council in this county.

WL Oakland Office 8an Francisco Call, | { 1118 Broadway, Nov 3. The boilers in the power-house of the Oakland, San Leandro and ‘Haywards di- | vislon of the Oakland Transit Company’s system at Elmhurst blew up to-night, ‘wrecking the power-house and setting the | town on fire. Aid from Oakland was sought, and had it not been for the Oak- getlc work the entire town would have | been destroyed. Bulldings in the neighborhood of the chinery, rails, bricks and woodwork were around. The electric road was tled up for nearly three hours and people were com- pelled to walk from San Leandro into Oakland in order to reach home. In the midst-of all this only two men were injuped and those not severely, though the fireman, Michael Victor, was | blown across the street, a distance of fifty | feet, into another building. The explosion occurred at 7:25 o'clock, and shook the surrounding country. It} was felt in Oakland, and mary believed it was an earthquake. In San Leandro, a mile distant, buildings were shaken in a | lively and alarming manner. . The Cause Is a Mystery, Whatever the cause, it has done fully $10,000 worth of damage to the plant of the electric road and- a gmount 'to buildings in the neighborhood. Two ‘0f the three bollers in the engine room exploded. One of the boilers biew up and the concussien exploded the sec- ond.

One of the engines was badly damaged, but the other three are intact. The explosion shut oft | all the power, breaking the engine and | dynamo connections and wires. | “Everything was thrown into darkness, | for practically all of the light in the neighborhood came from the ruined pow- er-house. Debris was piled in all direc- tions, and for a while no one seemed to know what had happened.

Dr. Tormey of San Leandro was sent : for and the injured men put under his care. John Allanson, the engineer, says! | that he has no idea how the expiosion | occurred, that everything was in_good condition and ten minutes before the ex- plosion occurred the boilers were full of water.

A heayy steel rail was blown out of the power house and overra car that was standing on the track and into the barber shop of the Willows Hotel.

BERKELEY, Nov.- 3.—Two days’ com- | plete rest—yesterday and to-day—have | been glyen California’s foetball squad. The men were sorely in need of it, for { the ~weeks of practice had exhausted | them. and old bruises and strains needed | eare in the shape of complete rest on the | part of the players. Absence.of violent i activity has been of great benefit to the ! men even after so short a time, and they | will enter upon the. closing' week's prac- ! tice refreshed in body.and mind. The | team will remain in town and not spend th: last week away as is sometimes done.. During the next flve days the finishing | touchu of the season's work will be dded. On Monday, Tuesday and Wed- faaday afternoons bard practics in he shape of line-ups nst the second i eleven will be heid. This will be the last | i chance the coacl will have to correct faults on the fleld. Besides serving as aays -for final instruction, the closing : i heavy practice wiil decide the line-up of i the team. On Thursday and Friday there will be no line-up, but the men will run through the plays and perfect themselves {in the secret signals. The work will be | especially light on Friday—just enough | 10 keep the men on edge for the struggie | with Stanford the day following. All of the men who will represent Cali- fornia have not been definiteiy { Coaches Simpson and Hopper. It will be with difficulty that some of the closely conlested places are decided. Quarter is still cpen, with More and Hudson mak- : ing a close run for it. At left end Dibblee, who s recovering rapldly from his wrenched knee, and Starr are opposed to each other, and at right half Whipple and Sherman. There is a slbfl?& that ‘Womble will be shifted trom right ‘end to right' halt. In this case Hudson will goi to right end. leaving More at quarter; an\ | Whipple and Sherman will be put on th | substitute list. Left guard is far from settled.

A busy thunder machine, a quarrel- some pair of lovers and a rever- end gentleman mistaken for a land- lord are the dramatls personde of Lilian Burkhart's - new . playlet ' at the Orpheum, “A Leap for Love.” Like all Miss Burkhart's plays, “A Leap for Love" individual and charming, and the playwright, Mrs. Anna 8. Richardson, certainly shows a happy faculty for the comedy in little. It is quaint in plot, bright in line and affords Miss Burkhart ample opportunity for the delicate comedy work in which she ex- cels. spoiled young damsel she is in the pley, who has run away from home in a pet after a quarrel with her lover, who has also chosen the better part and ta%er to his quarreisome heels. Then the thunder miil takes a hand and first the lover and then the lady find their drip- ping way to a rectory that they mistake for an inn, misled by & sign that has blown down from a neighboring hotel. The rector offers his modest hospitality to the young man, who accepts it as the paid courtesy of a landlord, and orders .his supper with all the energy his 'blighted affection has left him.

Streamers of vari-colored hues were strung along the balcony rails, garlands of evergreens depended from the central chandelier and rows of electric lights ac- centuated the outlines of the ceiling. The result was extremely picturesque. Then the ladies of the society, flitting from one_ end of the hall to the other, radiant in their ‘tasteful combinations of color, add- ed to the effect. After an hup;ghn of the refurbished building the sin, section of the veteln‘ opened the evening’s entertainment h. a song of welcome.
