LOS ANGELES, Jan. 2—Charles Coral- | les, a Mexican lad, 19 years of age, is be- hind the bars to-day, charged with as- sault to kill, as a result of attempting to shoot his employer with a shotgun late last night. Coralles drank too much wine in cele- bration of the new year and became in- volved in a dispute, it is said, with sutchell Pentuso, who he claimed had kicked him out of the house. Crazed hy the wine he had drunk, Coralles pro- cured a shotgun, and finding Pentuso commenced firing upon him without in- flicting any damage. After an exciting chase, in which the would-be murderer abandoned his gun, Coralles was cap- tured by the police an hour later, still bent on killing and armed with a length of iron pipe. He was promptly jailed. WRECKAGE OF VESSEL STREWS NORTHERN SHORE Keeper of the Carmanah Light Tells of Evidence of a Marine Disaster. VICTORIA, B. C., Jan. 2—W. P. Day- ton, lighthouse-keeper at Carmanah, in a | letter dispatched by the steamer Queen City, says the coast is littered with wreckage in the vicinity of the light- | house. It includes large butter kegs or barrels with galvanized hoops, two hatches painted reddish brown, two cabin doors painted .white, a vessel's | bowsprit and jibboom. Between Carmanah and Cloorse a large amount of wreckage was found, evidently from a gteamer. In the surf a couple of yards were floating. A mess table which iooked as though it might have come from the forecastle of a schooner was also found. Farther down 'the coast in the vicinity of Cape Scott a piece of deck- house is reported, but no clew was ob- | tained as to what it belonged.

Cuban Reciprocity Question to Be Taken Up When Congress Reassembles. Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. ‘W., WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.—It is thought that the Senate and House are quite likely to get into a deadlock on the Philippine tariff bill. Many well-known Senate lead- ers are in favor of scaling down the rates on goods’ coming from the Philippines to this country and when the bill comes out of the upper branch it is altogether prob- able that it will be a different measure from what it is now. Chairman Payne and Representatives Dalzell and Long of the Ways and Means Committee had a long conference to-day on the question of the Cuban tariff and other matters that will soon occupy the attention of the House. It has been decided to take up Cuban reciprocity immediately after Congress re- assembles next week. No bill has yet been framed and the question will not take this form until hearings have been held and all shades of oglnlon expressed. It is the intention of the committee to have protracted hearings open to all peo- ple iInterested in the question of the sugar and tobacco tariffs. The m.@my of the Republican members 3{ the Ways and Means Committee are still opposed to lowering the rates on Cuban products, but the administration, represented in this matter by Secretary Root, is still insist- ing that something be done and done at once for the alleged relief of the people of the island. Undoubtedly some sort of a bill will be brought in, but just what form it will take no one on the committee can now predict. Senator Platt of Connecticut had a long conference with President Roosevelt to-day on the Cuban situation. L e e e e ol ) McCUTCHEN PARTY CAUSES SPECULATION Mr. and Mrs. E. J. McCutchen will en- tertain over one hundred and fifty guests this evening at their residence, 2016 Pa- cific avenue. The invitations have created more interest than any others this sea- son, chiefly because of the novel charac- ter of the entertainment planned and the mystery surrounding it. Nearly every- body has accepted, not alone from a curiosity to see something quite original, but to enjoy the kind of hospitality the McCutchens always extend. The only hint in the invitation as to the nature of the affair was the words: “Curtain rises at 9 o'clock.” What they are going to do and how they are going to do it is a se- cret most profound., It has leaked out | that many changes have been made in the interior of the residence with special regard to the events of the evening. The following twenty people will be participants in the amusement scheme: Mr. and Mrs. Ed Schmiedell, Burbank Som- ers, Mr. and Mrs. Lathrop, Miss Bessie Ames, Miss Carolan, Miss Genevieve Carolan, Miss McBean, Sam Boardman, W. S. Burnett, Mr. Burrage, Harry Poet, Charles Marks, ' Mrs. Smedberg, Captain Renwick Smedberg, Frank Owen, Miss Sarah Collier, Miss Cora Smed- berg, Miss Edith Preston. It is known that these guests, besides several “dark horses,” are actually going to take part, but they are all very quiet about it and quite as mysterious as it is possible to be. They intimate that the programmes themselves, long and explicit as they may be, are. equally non-com- mittal. 3y For the past few days many wagons have lined up at the McCutchen resi- | dence, and the strangest looking par- aphernalia has been unloaded which | strongly reminded an observer of mechan- | ical devices and equipment of a Grau sea- | son coming to town. Everything was car fully_covered, however, and nothing is left for the inquiring public but specula- tion and patience. The McCutchen function bids fair to be the hit of the. season, The Argonaut Club assembly at the Pal- ace Maple Room will be largely attended | this evening, about 300 guests being ex- pected. There will be dancing until a late hour and a dainty supper will be served. The fifteen young men who comprise the Argonaut Club are giving the dance com- plimentary to the ladies, and there is every indlcauon.ot a great success. The hop to have been given at the Roa- noke Hotel on Bush street on January 4 has been’ postponed to January 18 out of respect to the memory of Miss Mollie Taylor, the pianist, who died Wednesday after an operau?n f.or Qppendlcltlm | Miss Edith Simpson, gave a small luncheon yesterday at her home for a few friends.

Stranger Finds Her Lying on the Ground With Both Hips Fractured. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Jan. 2. Under the impression that she was climbing into bed Mrs. Elizabeth Lyn- dall, 77 years of age, last Monday night crawled through a second-story window, fell to the ground and received injuries from which she died this morning. Deceased was a widow and lived with her daughter, Mrs. J. H. Schneider, at 611 Bast Fifteenth street. The old lady ias been alling for some time and her mental faculties were considerably im- paired. She was extremely feeble and, Tequired -constant watching. She was seen safely to bed on Monday evening, but evidently arose during the night and lost her bearings in the dark- ness. The window through which she fell was open only about eighteen inches. ‘When picked up, probably about two hours after falling, she had clutched in her hand one of the pillows from her bed and was feeling about for the covers and complaining of the cold. Mrs. Lyndall was picked up by a stran- ger. She told him her name, but declared that she lived in Santa Clara. He aroused Mrs. Schneider, who had difficulty in be- lieving that the sorely crippled form was that of her mother! she had tucked in bed a few hours previously. Dr. Edward R. Sill was called in and everything possible done for the injured woman. Her right hip was fractured and serious internal injury sustained. Sho retained consciousness, however, un- til this_morning, when she died. Mrs. Lyndall has not resided in Santa Clara for more than thirty years. The shock of the fatal fall rendered blank the interval since leaving there, and she died under the impression that she was s‘tlfll in Santa Clara among the friends of thirty years ago. Bhey v}l'ss a native of New York. She leaves a daughter, with whom she lived, and a son, C. P. Lyndall, who is in the insurance business in Los Angeles. Her husband was killed in an accident at Union City some twenty years ago. 0dd Fellows Install Officers.

Condition So Serious That Husband Starts From New York. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Jan. 2. Consul Booth-Tucker of tae Salvation Army lies critically ill at the Fabiola Hos- pital as a result of an operation that was performed for an abscess of the ear. Dr. N. H. Chamberlain, assisted by other phy- sicians, treated the patient this morning at the hospital by making an incision back of -the affected ear and removing the ob- struction that has been causing her to suf- fer the most excruciating pain since her arrival in Oakland last Saturday. ‘While the operation was successful and the doctors are hopeful, the strain on the sick woman’'s healjh has been very great and she is now in a much weakened con- dition. She is not deemed in robust health under ordinary ecircumstances and her condition is such now that the slightest fiba{lgs one way or another means life or eath. So serious is Consul Tucker’s health that her husband has been sent for and he is now on his way from the headquarters of the Salvation Army in New York. Consul Tucker was first overtaken by ill- ness just after her arrival on Saturday last. She suffered from a severe earache, but did not think it necessary to consult a physiclan until the pain became so great that she could not stand it any longer. Dr. Chamberlain, to whom she then went, found that an abscess was forming in the ear. He lanced the abscess at the home of Colonel French in East Oakland, but lit- tle relief was afforded the patient. As she continued to suffer Dr. Chamberlain ad- vised her to submit to an operation. Dr. Chamberlain, the attending physi- cian, said late to-night that Mrs. Booth- Tucker was resting easily and that she { had rallied from the shock following the | operation. He expressed the opinion that the chances of recovery were in her favor. “The trouble started with an inflamma- tion of the ear,” said Dr. Chamberlain, “‘and spread to the mastoid cells that are heneath the bone, immediately behind the ear. It was necessary to open these in order to relieve the patient of the pos- sibility of the inflammation spreading to the brain. There will be danger from complications until these cells are thor- cughly healed.” PARTY, IS STOPPED BY A STRAY BULLET Lead Crashes Through Window in Samuel Heywood’s Residence and Endangers Life. BERKELEY, Jan. 2—A young people's party at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Sam- uel Heywood at 1929 Grove street was brcken up in the early hours of New Year’s morning by a bullet crashing through a window in the rear parlor and glancing around the walls of the adjoin- ing room. No knowledge as to the shoot- er has been obtained, but it is thought that the bullet was fired by a reckless celebrator of the incoming year, as many shots were being fired at that time all oyer town. The bullét passed through a closely cur- tained window near the top of the upper glass and at an acute angle with its sur- face. It then went through the top of one of the high double doors between the rear and front parlors, struck a picture frame upon one wall, glanced to another and then to the floor., Miss Etta Hey- wood, Mr. Heywood’s daughter, and D. J. Rose were standing by the door when the bullet passed through the wood above their heads. None of the other members of the party were in danger. The Heywoods believe that the damage was done by a stray shot. The bullet was from a 38-caliber weapon. ———— HOME-MADE SCHOONER BOLINAS IS SEIZED Her Builder, Police Officer Moebus, 1 Neglected to Comply With Cer- tain Navigation Rules.

Conklin, Arrested for Bigamy, Tries to End His Life. Marries Oakland Girl, but . Overlooks Family in the East. Oakland Office San Francisco Cail, 1118 Broadway, Jan. 2. I N. Conklin, a motorman in the em- ploy of the Oakland Transit Company, Who was arrested last night on a charge of bigamy, tried to commit suicide by asphyxiation in his cell to-night. He was discovered in time to prevent the attempt from being successful. Conklin was married in this city on De- cember 6 to Miss Elizabeth H. Gernreich. It is now alleged that he already had a wife and three children whom he de- serted several years ago in Pennsylvania. Conklin came to California with the Tenth Pennsylvania Volunteers and served with that organization in the Phil- ippines. After receiving his discharge he settled in San Francisco and, according to the testimony in the hands of Chief of Police Hodgkins, has been trying to mar- Ty somebody ever since he settled on the coast. The announcenrent of his wedding at- tracted the attention of a girl who had refused to marry him after investigating his record. She notified the Chief of <o~ lice, who in turn informed Mrs. E. Gern- reich, the mother of Mrs. Conklin No. 2. Conklin’s arrest followed the receipt of a letter from the father of Conklin's Pennsylvania wife. The letter, which is self-explanatory, is as follows: Mrs. E. Gernreich, Oakland, Cal.—Dear Madam: 1 beg your pardon for thus address- ing you and trust you will not think it pre sumption on my part for writing to you on a very delicate subject that vitally concerns your- self and daughter. My only object in so doing is to save you and yours from deeper sorrow and further disgrace. To-day's mall brought me and my daughter (Mrs. I. N. Conklin) three communications relative to your daughter's marriage on December 6, 1901, to one I N. Conklin. Two of these have inclosed elippings §IVIng an account of the wedding with both portraits attached, and further that the “Sol- dier boy abandoned his trip to his own Stats and decided to stay where he s, for his own good, for he dared not return. No my friends, I take it from the account cf the wedding that you are well thought of and & family of good standing. Therefore I will give you solid facts in this matter. I N. Conklin is a lawful son-in-law of mine, having a wife (my daughter Grace) and three children alive, and living with me, whers they have been ever since the desertion of her, now over four years ago. He left her in Al- toona, Pa. At that time with a baby only four weeks old, he had been leading a double life, the effects of which he carried with him and made him leave, fearing exposure to his rela- tives and friends. Therefore, although the nup- tials were legally solemnized, the wedding and marriage is not lawful, which he will find out to his sorrow and reap the retribution due him for his actions. I have kept track of him ever since he left, and will keep track of him, not that we respect him or wish him back, but to let him know that he can’t act in this way and evade the law. To call him a man who could desert his three dear little ones is out of all reason and unnatural beyond the brutes. I suppose he has falsely informed you of my daughter having a divorce. She has not and never will till he has received his just reward. I have friends In San Francisco, aiso’a brother-in-law, and expect to see them 'In the near future. We received let- ters from two ladies over a year ago, both of whom, I understand, he had been engaged to, but they acted wisely and found out all and saved themselves. I do not write to wrong or injure your daugh- ter, for I have deep sympathy and feeling for her and you. If you doubt any of this you at liberty to write any citizen here or Justice of the Peace. I am 62 years of age and both myself and wife's health is poor and we love the lttle oncs; have always been able to take good care of them and we hope to do so. You are at lib- erty to use this if you so desire. Yours m respectfully, THOMAS PRIDEAU. _ The Oakland Mrs. Conklin, who lives at 767 Twenty-seventh street, is prostrated. Depositions from the East have been sent for and by the time Conkiin’s case comes up for trial the prosecution expects to hayve a strong case agamst him. Conklin, the alléged bigamist, is a. hand- some man about 30 years old. While making his rounds to-night James Swain smelled the odor of gas co: from the alleged bigamist's cell ml‘:fi found Conklin lying on the cot nearly suffocated. The jailer opened the ceil door, let in fresh air and dragged Conk- lin out of the tank. Conklin insisted when he regained his senses that it was a mistake—that he had accidentally blown out the gas in the cell. The jailers were so sure that their prisoner had tried to end his life that they removed him to the main part of the jail, where he could be watched. Four Women Want Little Doris.
