Denies Report That House of Worship Will Be Removed. i Harmony, handshaking and all-round congratulatory greeting marked the serv- {ice at the First Congregational Church, | Mason and Post streets, yesterday. At the communion service the attendance was the largest that has been known at any similar service for the last five years. About two-thirds of the members of the church were present, which is a large pro- portion, allowing for sick and absent | membess. To add to the fervor of the | service twenty-six new members were re- | ceived by the pastor, the Rev. Dr. George | C. Adams. Dr. Adams announced with much satis- faction that no less than 117 members had been received during the past year, of whom, he was especially pleased to | note, fifty-five were men. The proportion | of males to females in the membership had, he said, increased-in a year from one 1o two and one-twentieth to one to-one | and five-sixths. The attendance was at all times about one-half men, a fact which refuted the statements frequently made that men do not go to church. Dr. Adams said that the membership of the First Congregational Church is now /700 and all are in_direct communication { with the church, while the increase in the regular income last year was $1000, a gain for which the people were highly praised. During the service the pastor asked for $100 for the deacons’ fund for the help of the poor of the church, and in response | the offering amounted to over one hun- dred and eleven dollars. The attendance at the first Sunday- school meeting of the New Year was also the largest for five years. Dr. Adams said yesterday: I am pleased to say that besides the pros- perity of the First Congregational Church dur- ing the past year there has been absolute barmony among the members, and.the spirit of church work and consecration is growing rapidly. This church, located as it is down- | town, “offers unusual advantages to the large | and increasing mumber of people in the hotels and boarding-houses. For some time there have been rumors afioat that the First Congregational Church con- templated moving from its present location. As | to that I would like to say most emphatically | that there is no foundation whatever for the | reports. RAILROAD MEN HONOR | J. L.

Ross learned of his father's death in 1862 and went home in February, 1894, and later joined his brothers and sisters in the Puget Sound country. “That was the happiest time of my life,” said Ross, “and though I had to work hard in a logging camp I had nothing to bother about. I left that country on account of a girl. 1 don’t want to mention her name, for it would only disgrace her. I ran away with her, but her folks got track of us and the police took her back and let me go away. We were in love with each ather and it broke me all up.

I was discharged from my position and had to leave the town. “Then I went back to the Puget Sound country, and after a time came to Califor- nia, as my brother and brother-in-law of- fered to give me a position in their busi- ness in San Francisco. One day I was with my sister in Chinatown when a mor- phine fiend came up to me and said he was with me in Folsom and wanted an introduction to my sister. I refused to da s0 and he abused me on the street, calling me an ex-convict in the presence of my sister, and strangers who were on the sidewalk. Felt Life Was a Burden. “I felt that my life was a burden to me and that no matter where I went my rec- ord at Folsom would follow me. I have | always acted impulsively, and I made up my mind to go right down to San Diego. I tried to get work at the hotels, and | While passing through a hallway in one hotel I saw a door open. I went into the room and tock two valises and then made up my mind to make a good job of it. I HE Supreme Court of the United States will be asked to-day to save the life of Herbert Ross, who is condemned to die at San Quentin prison next Friday morn= ing for the killing of Deputy Sheriff W. J. Ward of San Die’(,o County in a des- perate attempt to escape from custody in November, 1899. Ross, who had a prior conviction against him, was sentenced in San Diego in 189 to ten years in San Quentin, having plead- ed guilty to a charge of burglary. Deputy Sheriff Ward was in charge of Ross on the steamer Santa Rosa when the officer received injuries at the hands of the convict that resulted in his death ! When Ward took his| | TwWENTY-NINTH CANDIDATE a few days later. prisoner on board the steamship the most friendly relations existed between them. The officer treated the prisoner with con- sideration and the trip was expected to be devoid of incident. At Santa Barbara Sheriff Matthew Stew- art boarded the vessel with a prisoner named Andrew Castro, en route to San Quentin. On Saturday, November 11, 1599, while the Santa Rosa was tied up to the wharf at Port Harford, the two officers and their prisoners took a promenadeson the deck during the afternoon. Ross ask- ed Ward to take him to his cabin, as he was feeling tired and sleepy. Ward complied with the request, and escorked his shackled prisoner to his stateroom. With none to witness the deed, Ross suddenly made an attack on the unfortunate officer with a heavy glass water bottle. While Ward was dozing in a chair Ross struck him on the head with the bottle and in the struggle that en- sued continued to beat Ward until he was rendered helpless. Locking Ward in the cabin, Ross slipped down a rope into the water and hid under the wharf. He subsequently climbed aboard the ship and gave himself up to Sheriff Stew- art, who found Ward in a dying condi- tion. Ward was taken to the hospital at San Luis Obispo, where he died on the 2sth of the month. Ross, after being taken to San Quentin, was returned to San Luis Obispo, where he was tried and found guilty of murder in the first degree and sentenced to death. Take Steps to Save Ross. His attorneys, William Graves of San Luis_Obispo and ex-Supreme Court Jus- tice Van Fleet, have taken every step to save Ross from the gallows. 7 The case was taken to the Supreme Court of the State on an appeal for a new trial, which | was denied. ‘Lhe United States Circuit Court of Appeals was asked last week to issue a Writ of habeas corpus for Ross, but the Federal Judges declined to inter- fere in the case. ‘With but four days of life left to Ross, his attorneys will seek the intervention of the highest court of resort in the land, failing_ which Ross will pay the dread pen- alty of the law on Friday morning, un- less the Governor intercedes. Ross ascribes his present terrible post. tion to two factors: the lack of self-con. trol and the persecution cf his former as: soclates in prison and of law officers. The condemned man yesterday received a representative of The Call and for two hours he talked of his life and the near approach of death. Within a few feet of the spot in the old furniture factory of San Quentin Prison, where the galiows awaits its twenty-ninth victim, and the ropes are already stretched for the sched- uled grewsome event of Friday, Ross told of his life that will probably be cut short dn its twenty-seventh year. “My name is not Ross,” said the con- demned man, “but I will not tell my right name. My mother is alive and she know: nothing of my fate. I was born east of the Rocky Mountains, where my father was superintendent of a coal mine. He was killed by an explosion in 1893. I have three brothers and one sister living in California. They know of my condtion, and have helped me with means to save my life. They have kept everything from my. mother as to what I have done. “I_was educated in the public schools of the State in which I was born and I' attended the State University of Kansas for one year.

I went around trying to get a decent job, but there were dozens of men idle at that time. The Greatest Mistake of Life. “I made the greatest mistake of my life | at Tulare, and it was the first step that subsequently brought me to where I now am. 1 ran into a number of tramps out- side Tulare and they talked of how easy it was to ‘turn a trick and get away.’ They were talking of crime and planning robberies and mentioned Goldman’s store in Tulare. The thought of committing crime never entered my head. 1 walked into Tulare and out of curiosity located Goldman’s place. I looked in the store and then I saw an open cellar door. On the impuise of the moment 1 went in, re- mained until the store was closed up and | then stole some jewelry and a few suits | of clothing.” | Ross then detailed how he managed to | get his plunder to San Francisco and how he was often tempted to send it back to | the owner. All he realized from the rob- | bery was 330 for two watches he pawned. | The rest of the stolen goods was found.in his room when he was caught by detec- tives. | He received four years for burglary and | two years additional for breaking out of tne Visalia jail, but was released on habeas corpus at the expiration of nis first sentence. i “After 1 left Folsom.,” continued Ross, | “I determined to lead a pro) life. I had read a great deal of literature while in prison and am familiar with many of | the classics. What I had read taught me { that jt was best to settle down and not | rove around. But the pernicious influence | of Folsom Prison seemed to follow me | everywhere. An angel in San Quentin or Folsom would be corrupted. I have a brother and a brother-in-law who are in ‘business in San Francisco and I appealed |to them. They promised to give me a tart in life. 1 went to Red Bluff and pened a fish and game store.

They { wouid drop in to see me and forced me | to help them with money and provisions. | My Nemesis was an ex-convict known as ‘Nosey’ McDonald. With another con- vict McDonald located me at my store iand demanded $50 from me, threatening to expose me as an ex-convict. T refused to be blackmailed and he gave me away. n a day every one in Red Bluff knew ! that T had been in Folsom. In the pres- ence of many lady customers a deputy | sheriff came up to me in the store and said: ‘So you are an ex-convict. I will keep my eyes on you.' My business feil oft and I quit in disgust. gave my hare to my partner, but he closed up in | s i onth. | Zonthit to Carbonado, Wash., and got work in a coal mine. I went under'my right name, as there were many people there who knew my folks. One night an ex-convict named Riley saw me at a dance. He wanted to dance with a certain ?rl and she ref: ice with him. hen, in_the presence of every ome, he said to her, ‘Well, you can’'t afford to dance with that fellow; he is an ex-con- viet from Folsom, California.’ I denied it, but it was no use. He told everything he knew about me, and my friends went T had to leave my boarding- house, and again started away and went to Montana, where I got a job loading | coke at $5 a day. I felt sure that I would be all right there, but again I was tracked. An ex- convict known as ‘Wooden - reco; me and told every one in the . water. X3 stole six valises and got away with them. | I put them in a trunk and shipped them to San Francisco. I stole them on the im- | pulse of the moment. I was caught soon afterward, and in order to avoid a trial I entered a plea of gullty and was given ten years in San Quentin. “‘I admit that I assaulted Deputy Sheriff | ‘Ward when he was bringing me up on the Santa Rosa. I never intended to kill him. All I thought of was to make my escape. I dreaded the term in prison. I had no plans laid as to how I could get away, hen Ward took me to the cabin he dozed off to sieep in a chair. I saw the heavy water bottle and the thought came into my head that if I could render him senseless for an hour or so I could ge( away. I struck him a light blow and | e jumped up and grappled with me. | struck him again, and as he continued to | fight 1 hit him a third time. If I had in- tended to kill him I could have done so | with one heavy blow of the bottle. I could have crushed his head like an egg with that thick bottle if I had so desired. | “I got his keys and $20 in gold from his pockets and slid down a rope into the I hid under the wharf. I was there for more than an hour. Then I won- dered if I had hurt Ward seriously and I made up my mind to go back to the ship. | “I climbed up a rope and went to Sher- | iff Stewart. I was afraid that I had hurt | ‘Ward badly as everything was so quiet on | the ship. I told Stewart that I had struck Ward and I wanted him to see if | his injuries were very bad. Stewart took | me to the cabin and broke the door in | that I had locked. He found Ward sitting | in a chair with his head resting in his hands and bleeding. Says Castro Testified Falsely. “‘Stewart cursed me and said, ‘If that man dies I will hang you for it I was convicted on perjured testimony. Castro, the convict, swore that when he was ironed to me that I told him I intended to | kill both the officers, He has confessed | to three people since then that he gave.| false evidence in order to help himself. I sent him a letter here in San Quentin and | he told me that if my lawyer would get | him out of trouble he would tell the truth, “I believe that I am guilty of man- slaughter and have never denied striking | Ward. I am not a brute devoid of 85 feeling, as some want to make me out. A few minutes before Ward took me to the cabin he showed me the photos of his ' W%ife and children. I had no feeling against him, for he treated me kindly. th should I kill him? I only wanted to | render him senseless so that I could es- cape.” ‘When Ross was asked what he consid- ered the greatest mistake of his life he | answered: ‘It was my first step in crime 1 at_Tulare.” In eloquent tones the condemned man continued: “I realize that I have lacked will power and self-control and that there is no ex- cuse why I should have committed any crime. I should have told every one that I was an ex-convict when I first came out of Folsom and asked them to heip me along. If Judges and law officers | would help ex-convicts to reform instead of persecuting them and hounding thein, lots of young men would leave prison and become’ g citizens. The only encour- agement they now receive is from old convicts, who- lead them on to deeper ime. Says He Will Die Manfully. “Prisons should be so governed the prisoners should be graded. soclation of young prisoners, sent up for | small offenses, with old and hardened criminals eradicates all good feelings and dooms t! to a felon's fate. “Even in prison it is possible for a con- vict to show that he is a man and a de- cent man. my death sentence is changed to life imprisonment I would try 1o earn my pardon in the course of time. It is easy for people to say that death is to be preferred to life imprisonment, but they do not know what it means to be in the shadow of death at the hands of | the law. I realize that the Supreme Court of the United ‘States will not inter- fere in my case that I have but four days to live. I am resigned to my fate, and if I am to die I will do so manfully.” Ross was visited yesterday afternoon by hig sister and her husband. The officers of San Quentin Prison declined to make known their identity. Ross_has given .ng trouble to the offi- | cers who have him in charge and many of them feel that but for his previous convictions he_would have not been con- victed of murder in the first degree, but would have been en the penalty of life imprisonment. that The as- Roanoke Rye, Honey and Horehoun Its quality tells the story. .

DRPHEUN'S BILL UNUSUALLY GOOD Proves to Be Even Bet- ter Than the Regular Road Show. Attractions Are Billed for All the Theaters This Week. The Orpheum’s bill this week is better | even than the star attraction of the reg- ular Orpheum road show, which held the boards during the holidays. Every num- ber on the programme is entertaining. Eddie Girard and Jessie Gardner, al- ways one of the most popular teams that annually visit the coast, are the main feature of the performance. “The Sou- brette and the Cop,” so long asseciated with Girard's career, has many whimsical charms added to it this year and was most cordially encored by the big audi- ence. Miss Gardner sings and dances with animation and is a finished comedienne. Jacques Inaudi, whose marvelous math- ematical juggling amazed the East when he was first imported, mystified the house with his phenamenal lightning calculg- tions and mental exactness with dates. Jessie Dale, the girl barytone, sings sen- timental songs spiendidly and got a rous- ing reception. Piccolo’s Liliputians do again this week their clever musical and gymnastic spe- cialties. Mrt and Mrs. Gardner Crane, in a pleas- | ing and original comedy, “Am I Your Wife?” give a most creditable and inter- esting act. The three Westons and fill one of the tures on the bill. Ritter's trained dogs and new pictures on the American blograph complete the performance. | | ! \ i | | e good musicians most attractive fea- i e The rollicking fun and ingenious_com- plications of “Whose Baby Are You?” served to keep the California’s audience hilariously amused from thé begining to the end of the farce last night. The play | is well acted all through and prettily staged. It deserves a larger audience Bowser plays the bewildered artist, who has babies thrust upon him at every turn, and is fully adequate in the part. Maf‘ Vokes gives a quaint sketch of Abigail, the janitor's daughter, and gets a good deal of genuine fun out of the role. Her make-up is a thing of beauty. One of the cleverest things in the farce is Fred Run- nel as the Baron Leopold. He has a Dutch accent that sounds as if it were | made in Germany and, throughout looks and acts like an animated Fliegende Blatter sketch. The rest of the company is capable and the piece goes with snap and vim throughout. The climax of the second act, when three babies are discov- ered all by their tiny selves in the middle of the stage, is the funniest feature of the {;lay and when the astonished infants aughed and cried alternately at their houseful of admirers the enthusiasm reached its limit. ‘“Whose Baby Are You?” should do a good business this week. Richard Golden, in “Old Jed Prouty,” follows. . “King Henry VIIL"” with Madame Mod- jeska as Queen Katherine, and Louis James as Cardinal Wolsey, is the import- ant attraction at the Columbia Theater this week. The leading actors bring their fame with them, but there are many good players less well known here in_the sup- porting company. The scenic effects, for | portunities, are complete, correct in his- torical detail, and exceptionally rich and | handsome. The organization ‘mumbers thirty-seven people and two carloads of scenery are used in the production. | R The farewell week of the Minnie Selig- man engagement at the Grand Opera- house will be given over to a grand double bill, “Cavalleria Rusticana,” dramatized by A. Carrano, and W. 8. Gilbert’s “Com- edy and Tragedy.” Miss Seligman should find a congenial opportunity in the strenu- leria,” and there is plenty of good material in the Grand Opera-house Stock Company for her support. “Comedy and Tragedy” has not been seen’here for some time and should prove an interesting addition to the bill. . . The second of the series of symphony concerts under the auspices of the San Francisco Symphony Soclety will take | place at the Grand Opera-house next Fri- | day afternoon at 3:15 sharp. Director Paul | Steindorff has prepared an exceptionally interesting programme for this occasion and his orchestra of fifty-five men, with Giulio Minetti as concertmeister, has been most carefully rehearsed for some weeks. The sale of seats will begin at Shérman, Clay & Co.'s to-morrow morning, wlth‘ prices ranging from 50 cents to $1 50. To-night at the Alcazar play-goers will | have the opportunity of renewing ac- | quaintance with an old-time favorite here | in the person of George Osbourne. Mr. Os- | bourne will make his appearance in Henry | de Mille and Belasco’s best play, “The ‘Wife.” It goes without saying that the Alcazar company will be efficient in Mr. Osbourne’s support and that the careful | mounting that is a feature of all the AI-‘ cazar productions will also be given to| the week’'s play. 1 Next week a play that is new here, that | was written for the leading man at the“ Alcazar, M. L. Also‘s. will be put on. The play is named * hite Rose,” and is of | the romantic (ll'dsr. % “Lost in New York,” a stirring melo- drama dealing with life 1n the\ metropolis, will go ' on ~ at the Central - this _week. A striking scenic feature of the kind that the Cen-| tral management is becoming famous for, | will be a view of the North River, with a ank of real water, and real boys swim- ming in it. It is one of the cleverest stage | 1llusions that even fl.!e C'Entrll has had. | “Little Red Riding Hood” is still crowd- | ing the Tivoll to its capacity, and the pop- | ular holiday piece will probably hold the boards for some weeks to come. The first bill of the comic-opera season has been | announced, however, and will be “The Ameer,” one of the most successful of the operas introduced by Frank jels. An excellent company of comic-opera singers has been gathered together, the best in the history of the house, and when “Little Red Riding Hood"" gives them a chance there will be some music worth hearing at the Tivoll. e This week’s list of efitertainers at| Fischer’s Concert-house includes the tal- ented Sorenson children: Mlle. Atlantis, fire and rainbow dancer; Max Steinle, Ger- man _comedian; Mons. d’Aulnais, tenor; the Volkyra family of hand balancers: Joseph Lyons, an acrobatic dancer and singer; Carita, the wonderful girl con- jurer. and the Paloma Ladies’ Quartet. Hinrichs’ orchestra will play the latest se- lections. —_—ee————— Of Interest to Shoe Buyers. This coming Thursday the great manu- facturers’ sale of shoes will start.
