After Mr. Ach had talked about an hour | and a ha!f he discovered that Judge| Morrow had not been convinced, and | therefore moved that the application for a restraining order be dismissed without | rejudice. ‘The motion was granted. and Ehlet Wittman and Lieutenant Martin departed in smiles.

They became the guests of Alvinza Hay- ward in his beautiful home in San Mateo. Mr. Fethers comes to this coast on a for the order The business of the v pleasure. { to look into the arrangements that are being made by the Knights of the do- main of California in the matter of the nolding of the next Supreme Lodge sion in this city. It convenes next Au- ifornia, through its committee at the reme Lodge session last held, succeed- in_securing the convention for San Francisco, and the Pythian week will be a great event in the fraternal line. Re- ports to the general committee that has the matter in hand show that the lodges of this domain are working actively for the success of the session and they will make it @n event that will gain_ golden opinions for the California Knights. There has been unusual activity in all br: es of the order and a remarkable gain in membership. More Companies Mustered In. There has also been unusual activity in the Uniform Rank of the organization, for a dozen or more companies have been mustered In addition to the jon of the Knights there will be an encamp- ment of the regiments from every State of the Uniform Rank, which is_the mili- tary branch of the Knights. From re- ports that have been received in this city from the different domains it is expected that there will be at le: 50,000 Knights in this city during the Pythian week, and as the general committee will receive ex- tremely favorable rates for members and nds it is. thought that at least 40,000 friends and relatives of members will take advantage of the opportunity to visit California, and particularly the city by the Golden Gate.

The alarming condition of John J, Val- entine, president of Wells, Fargo & Co.'s express, caused by his serious relapse of Sunday, shows a change for the worse. The attending physician, Dr. A. Lilien- crantz, announced to-night that the pa- | tient was rapidly sinking and that the end was not far away. President Valentine's family has been informed of the'exact situation concerning the critical stage of the case. Every possible resource of medical sci- | ence has been invoked to prolong the sick man’s life In the hope there might be an improvement that would give Mr. Valen- tine a fresh hold. So far during the last getback there has not been a single hope- ful symptom. Instead each day notes a diminishing of strength and a gradual fading away. Dr. Liliencrantz and his son, Dr. Guy Lillencrantz, who has been associated with his father in the case, offer no en- couragement whatever that the patient will long survive. Dr. A. Lillencrantz said at a late hour to-night: “Mr. Valentine is slowly sinking. He is very low indeed to-night and the end will come in a very short time. All that can be definitely stated with relation to Mr. Valentine's condition is that life is gradually ebbing. “The family has understood for some time that his condition was slowly reach- ing the critical stage and that there was no hope for his ultimate recovery.” Smart Wanted by Police. Ed Campion, agent for Colller's Weekly, secured a warrant from Judge Fritz yes- terday for the arrest of Harry F. Smart on the charge of misdemeanor embezzle- ment. He says that Smart was recently discharged by him and since then he has been collecting money by representing himself as still in Campion’s employment. as he assurance of substantial assist- < ool ool e =/ c¢® o e & *="Hlo%o CBmLIFORTIL A Y ER °5 | ricmT g THE SUPREME HEAD OF THE KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS, WHO IS VIS- ITING SAN FRANCISCO, AND A PROMINENT MASON WHO HAS BEEN RAISED TO A HIGH OFFICE. feels that the coming session will be the largest and the most successful fraternal gathering that San Francisco can boast of. During the session in Detroit there were at least 130,000 Knights and stran- gers in that city, and he was at a loss to understand why there should not be a greater number in this city. He expects 12,000 members of the Uniform Rank at that time. The general committee ‘s somewhat conservative as to the possible number, but the supreme chancellor :s sangulne and thinks the estimate of the committee is too low. To-morrow night he will be the guest of the Past Chan- cellors’ Assoclation of San Francisco at a banauet to bé tendered him in one of the prominent rotigseries, and on the fol- lowing Monday he will be tendered a re- ception in Pythian Castle by all of the local lodges. At each of these functions he will be accompanied by Grand Chan- cellor L. §. Calkins of Nevada City and MLLECED RIDTERS SECURE FREEDOM Jury Acquits Four Men Arrested During Re- cent Strike. The trial of Willlam Duggan, John Sco- ble, Willlam Tate and Ward Miller, charged with rioting in connection with the recent strike, came to a close in Judge Fritz's court last night. After befng out for over an hour the jury returned a ver- dict finding Scoble and Duggan innocent, but failed to agree on the cases of Tate and Miller. When questioned by the court the foreman announced that the fate of Miller and Tate was undecided, the jury standing eleven for acquittal and one for conviction. Judge Fritz promptly ordered that another ballot be taken, and when the jury returned a few minutes later the foreman announced that a verdict of not gullty had been reached. The court then discharged the four defendants, and as they filed out of the courtroom they wére warmly congratulated by their friends, who were standing outside patiently wait- ing for the verdiel. he alleged rioters were defended by Archle Campbell, while Attorney Joe Cof- fey had charge of the prosecution, All the defendants positively denled that they articipated in the riot. They claimed hat they were attracted to the scene by the shooting and while trying te ascer- tain whether or not any of their friends had been shot they were placed under ar- rest and charged with rioting. Lee Is Acquitted, The case of Charles Lee, charged with grand larceny by Mrs. Lizzle Dwyer, 36 Stockton street, who alleged that on the night of October i6 last he stole from her diamonds and money to the amount of several thousand dollars, was dismissed by Judge Fritz yesterday.

WLED FOIK SEE A ONDER" Casual Entertainer Puz- zles People of Solano Town. | Special Dispatch to The Call. VALLEJO, Dec. 19.—Five hundred per- sons at the Farragut Theater apparently were hypnotized last night by an enter- | tainer who said he was a ‘“wonder” from Australia. He probably was, and the| people have not yet stopped trying to fig- ure out how it happened. Seventeen persons in the audience con- sented to give five dollars each ‘‘for noth- | ing,” six gave ten dollar gold pieces and ‘a _dozen gave two silver dollars each. They were told emphatically that he wanted their money “for nothing.” The audlence wanted money ‘‘for nothing | also, and, on seeing confederates receive ten ‘dollar presents in return for single dollars, they snapped at anything he of- fered, expecting a golden harvest at the final distribution. When this distribution came the “won- | der” presented each man who gave him | money a check with the words: “Two Dollars for Nothing” and “Five Dollars for Nothing.” Those who put up ten dol- lars got cigars instead of a check. A num- ber of the victims went to the stage to interview the “wonder,” but he held them back at the point of & pistol. He left the hall before daybreak. “Rube” Pitches Winning Ball. LOS ANGELES, Dec. 19.—“Rube’” Wad- dell toyed with the Los Angeles batters to-day, while the All-Americas toyed with Hale's curves, the net result being a score of 11 to 2 In favor of the Easterners.

Taft of the Philippines has been tendered the portfolio of Secretary of State by President Roosevelt and that the | | real reason for the return of the Governor | to this country is to confer with the Pres- ident upon the subject. “I have known of this fact for some time,” the informant says. I was firs informed of it a few weeks after Pres dent McKinley's death. As soon as I had read in the dispatches that the Governor was about to return because of his fail- ing health, I was convinced that the real purpose was to have a verbal conference with the President regarding the Secre- taryship. Governor Taft is an able man and the time that he has spent in the Philippines has enabled him to become thoroughly familiar with the situation iret. President Roosevelt has on a num- ber of occasions expressed his high re- gard for Governor Taft and the able man- ner in which he disposed of some intri cate Philippine problems. While the fact that he has been offered the portfolio .t | this time may be news, nevertheless his friends and those who are in a position to know are not at all surprised at the announcement.” WASHINGTON, Dee. 19.—Secretary Gage has arranged to follow Charles Em. ery Smith and retire from the Cabine He will resign some time in January -and be succeeded by an Eastern man, proba- bly from New England.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark, Dec. 19.—At noon to-day the Bank of Springvale, ten miles from here, was robbed by one man. No one was in the bank except the assist- ant cashier. The robber drove up to the bank door in a buggy and walked to the cashier's desk before he was noticed. He, compelled the assistant cashier to go to the vault and give him all the y, about $7000. While this was taking pl the cashier walked into the bank. He was at once covered by the robber’s revolver and compelled to throw up his hands. The robber then: hurriedly left the bank, dropping $1000 upen the sidewalk. He jumped into a buggy and drove rapidly north. Officers were in pursuit before he was fairly out of town. Two miles out the officers came in sight of him and he jumped from the buggy and made his way to a thickly wooded mountain. Blood- hounds have been put on his track. e —— ANNOUNCES LECTURE ON FOREST PRESERVATION | Professor Wilson Will Speak in the | Maple Room on Results of Investigation.
