OAKLAND, Jan. 8.~With the head and body crushed and lying in Temescal Creek under his overturned wagon the remains of John M. Faughman, an aged expressman, were found at 8 o'clock this morning by R. H. Fallmer, residing at 834 Forty-seventh street, and J. I Kelley of Fifty-third street. The accident that caused the old pioneer's death occurred last night after 8 o'clock, when Faugh- man was last seen alive near his home at | 2066 Filbert street. He left there to de- | liver some bundles. The appearances are | that his horse either ran away with the driver or wandered across the fields at | Forty-seventh and Adeline streets, plung- |ing over the fourteen-foot embankment { into the creek. | 'The wagon was upset and Faughman | was pinned under the overturned seat. | The horse was drowned, being caught by | the shafts and prevented from moving. Fallmer and Kel l%y saw the wagon and | did not discover Faughman's body until | they climbed down _the steep incline | to investigate. The y was taken |in churfit by Deputy Coroner Quellen. Faughman's aged wife declares that her husband met foul play. She says: He was at home at 6 o'clock, and left on his ‘wagon to deliver some goods, saying he would return at 7 o'clock. He left Cooper's grocery on Watts streel about 6:30 o'clock and was perfectly sober. } All night I searched in vain for him and | learned nothing until this morning, when they brought me the news of his death. 1 cannol | believe it was an accident. Deputy Coroner Quellen said: There were wagon tracks across the flelds, showing where the team had gone from Forty- sixth toward Forty-seventh street. At the creek bank the wheels made a sharp turn to | the right, as if the driver had seen the dan- | ger too late and was trying to save himself | from going into the creek. There was noth- ing of a suspicious character about the case, 80 far as I could see. | Faughman's life was ‘del;{tified ‘with the | earliest pioneer days. e was born seveaty-cight vears ago st Rocklin, Me. ¢ | Coming to California in 1843, he went to | Tuolumne County, where in the troublous { days he served as a deputy Sheriff, earn- | ing a reputation as a brave officer that | remained with him for many’ ears. | _“He was one of the most courageous men I ever knew,” said former Chief of Police Fletcher to-day. “I knew him in | :gs early days and he proved his courage en. | |, Faughman led a party of men into Brit- ish Columbia during the Fraser River ex- citement. For several years he was at Virginia City. During the last twenty-five years he lived in Oakland. He was one of the familiar characters about Seventh | street and Broadway. Only the wife, 75 years old, survives him and she is in want, New Mayor of Vancouver Elected. ' | VANCOUVER, |B. C., Jan. 9.—Alderman | T. F. Neelands was elected Mayor of Van- | couver to-day by a majority over Mayor Townley estimated at 500, although com- plete returns are not yet made. The de- feat of Mayor Townley, who was elected last year by a majority of 600, was hardly expected, as he had the support of tne business element. His opponent was the nominee of the Electoral Union, an or- ganization formed on municipal reform | lines. s o Sultan Seeks French Aid.

BERLIN, Jan. 9.—A correspondent In Samoa writes to the Cologne Gazette giv- ing a hitherto unknown explanation of the killing of Dr. Menke, leader of a German scientific expedition in the South Sea island, Bismarck archipelago. The correspondent says that Dr. Menke and his party ruthlessly destroyed a number of palm trees, of which there were but few on the island, and the natives acted in defense of thelr property. The Ger- man punitive expedition, sent to avenge the killing of Dr. Menke and his party, which landed from the German cruiser Cormoran, near the scene of the mas- sacre, killed eighty-one islanders. “‘Such is the civilization,” says the Vor- waerts, “that our colonial politicians are spreading.” MILITARY NOMINATIONS RECEIVE CONSIDERATION Legal Opinion of the Secretary of War Is Asked in Several Cases. WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.—The Senate Committee on Military Affairs to-day con- sidered the nomination of Colonel Crozier to be Chief of the Bureau of Ordnance, with the rank of brigadier general; Col- onel J. Gillespie to be chief of engineers, with the rank of brigadier general, and Colonel George B. Davis to be fudge advo- cate general, with the rank of brigadier general, and decided to ask the Secretary of War for an opinion on the legal aspects involved in these various cases. Included in the matter for inquiry is a charge that General Crozier is interested in several patents for ordnance. The opinion was expressed by some of the members of the committee that this allegation is suffi- ciently serious to challenge investigation. DEMOCRATS OF KENTUCKY IN LEGISLATIVE CAUCUS FRANKFORT, Ky.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.—The Civil Serv- ice Commission has called the attention of the Secretary of the Interior to the charges of removal of emploves for politi- cal purposes against Joseph Perrault, Sur- veyor-General of Idaho. Charges of the same character were made several years ago, and, after an investigation, the com- mission recommended Perrault’s removal. The matter, however, lapsed and no ac- tion was taken on the commission’s re- quisition. The issue was raised again by the removal of ahother employe of Per- rault for alleged partisan purposes, re- sulting in the commission calling the at- tention of Secretary Hitchcock to the former charges to that last preferred.

OMAHA, Jan. 9—It was given out to- day h}a semi-official way at Union Paci- fic headquarters that the Fropnsed cut-off from Echo, Utah, to Salt Lake will be built during the yvear. It is also stated that the Southern Pacific, which now has its terminus at Ogden, will also bulld a short line to Salt Lake around the south. ern end of the lake, thus cutting off near- ly a hundred miles of the distance to the Pacific Coast. Several lines have béen surveyed, but no definite action has been taken up to this time, owing to the ex- treme roughness of the country. The orlglnal line was run by the way of Ogden and the new cut-off contemplates a di- rect/ route to Balt Lake. Henry Rohrbacher.

Los Angeles Authorities at ‘Work on a Mysterious * Case. Epecial Dispatch to The Call, LOS ANGELES, Jan. §.—Poisoned milk, believed to have been prepared to de- stroy the life of an Innocent babe, that its mother might be accused of infanti- clde, has caused intense excitement among the familles of an apartment house at 498 California street. Mr, and Mrs. F. O. McKee, parents of the child whose life was threatened, are greatly worked up over what they hold to be the perpetration of a hideous crime. The Police Department and the -city circumgtances and asked to make an in- vestigation of the case. Although the parents of the child have a suspicion as to the perpetrator of the isoning scheme, there Is little to base the suspi- clon on, and it forms a poor clew on ‘which to work. Frank O. McKee is a cook. With his wife and nine-months-old son, he lives in a lower flat at 498 California street. Sun- day last the family spent the day at Elysian Park. Upon their return home in the evening they found two pints of milk on their doorstep, where it has been the custom of their milk dealer to leave three bottles every day. At the time it was thcught some mischievous person had stolen the third bottle. Mrs, McKee boc- rowed a pint bottle, delivered by the same milkman, from one of her neighbors. Be- fore retiring Sunday night she prepared the night’s_supply for the nourishment of her child. The following morning, after her hus- band had gone to work, she began to pre- pare more food with the milk in one of the two bottles left at the door. She tasted it, but had no sooner taken one swallow than she choked and spat it out. The inside of her mouth, her tongue and her throat were burned and blistered by the liquid. She was seized with cramps and vomited profusely. Mrs. McKee did not at first think the milk was poisoned, although it gave forth a_ strong odor foreign to lacteal fluid. She feared to give it to her baby, how- ever, and after replacing the stopper in the bottle set it aside. That the milk was tampered with after it was delivered at the McKee home there is no doubt. The driver says he delivered ! three bottles, as usual, between 2 and 3 o’clock in the afternoon. At 5 o'clock that afternoon a woman who lives in the house saw three bottles on the doorstep. An hour later, when she again looked, there were ohly two bottles there. In addition to this the pasteboard sto?per in the bot- tle containing the milk which burned Mrs. McKee was cracked on one side and ap- peared to have been removed before she took it out Monday morning. Mrs. Mc- Kee said to-day: ““I cannot help but believe that a woman poisoned the milk, knowing it was in- tended for the baby.” GRAND JURY AFTER THE POOLROOM MEN Many Witnesses From Sausalito Tes- tify at San Rafael About the Games. SAN RAFAEL, Jan. 9.—The Grand Jury is making the air torrid for the poolroom men of Sausalito. The jury spent the day examining a host of witnesses from Sau- salito. It is not believed that anything ‘was brought to light that will explain how the poolroom men got their grip in Sau- salito. Town Trustees Adolph Sylva, J. Thomas, H. J. Crumpton and John Nunes penses were paid by the poolroom pre prietors. All denied that the gamblers defrayed any of those expenses. Adolph Sylva admitted that after the election he went to the different saloons in Sausalito and spent about $10 or $20 over each bar and afterward received the money back from the poolroom men. Joe Harvey, owner of one of the poolrooms, when_testifying, denied that Sylva re- ceived any money at all. 1t is claimed that a large number of ‘voters” have been imported into the town to be avail- able at the coming election. Larux, an expressman, testified that there were more men lodging in the different houses now than there is in the summer. e ROUGHS RAISE RIOT IN TOWN SCHOOLHOUSE Residents of a Hamlet Terrorized by a Crowd of Gun-Firing Miscreants. TACOMA, Jan. .—What may have been intended for a New Year's joke has de- prived the little town of Allyn for the first part of its winter term of a school. On the night of January 1 or 2 'three or | four roughs entered the schoolhouse and perforated not only the bullding but everything in it with bullets of caliber. Nothing inside was proof against their guns. , Even the hanging and bracket lamps and the wooden pulpit, all these being the progerty of the Presbyterian church, were riddied. The stove, black- board, teacher’s desk, the desks of pupils and a five-gallon oil can were shot through and through. Five gallons of oil were allowed to spread out over the floor and surprise is expressed that the mis- creants did not apply a mateh to the oil and thereby cover up their evil doings. PASSES WALLA WALLA RAFT. Brother of Captain Sees a Reminder / of Terrible Disaster. SEATTLE, Jan. 9.—The steam colller Edith, which arrived to-day from San Francisco, bring news which undoubtedly explains the mystery surrounding -the missing life raft from the ill-fated ship Walla_‘Walla. Eighty miles north of Cape Mendocino and fifty miles north- west of the Seal Rocks the Edith passed within one hundred feet of a raft, on which there were neither human beings nor the smallest object which might tell the story of disaster. Captain Charles Hall of the Edith is a brother of Captain Andrew Hall of the Walla Walla. “I am confident,” Captain Hall said, “that it was the missing Walla ‘Walla raft. We steamed within one hun- dred feet of it and could see the raft dis- tinctly. There was not a sign of life or anything in the shape of human effects on it, so we passed the sad, reminder of that ‘terrible disaster.” Captain Hall has not seen his brother since the Walla Walla went down As his vessel was steaming into San Fran- clsc® gn the last voyage the Walla Walla ‘was cOming out. e discharged his ship load of coal and was barely out of San Francisco Bay when the Edith passed the Pomona, bearing Captain Andrew Hall and other Walla Walla survivors to San Francisco from Eureka, where they were rescued. b MEAE Coolot-Elliott Wedding.

WORKS OF ART Pope Leo Names Com-|Government Officials Are|Photographers’ Second mission to Answer Modern Questions. Members to Limit Freedom to Be Allowed Catholic Exegetists. ROME, Jan. 9.—The membership of the papal commission on modern questions concerning the holy writ is officially an- nounced. It consists of Cardinal Par- occhi, vice chancellor of the Holy Roman church, and Cardinals Zegna, prefect ®f the Vatican archives, and Vives Y. Tuto, S gssessor. Among the consultors chosen from various countries is Professor Gar- rtgtm")! the Catholic Univerity of Wash- ngton. ' The scope of inquiry is to ascertain the limits of freedom to be allowed the Cath- olic exegetist in Biblical questions of the day and to point out definitely what must be maintained and what must be rejected in the interests of orthodoxy, what are allowable and what are left to the in- dividual conscience. The commission, notably the president, is said to represent broadminded, progres- sive tendencies. The London Tablet, on January 3, an- nounced that the Pope had appointed a special commission for the consideration of all questions connected with Biblical studies, to which Catholic scholars the world over might apply in cases of diffi- culty. Cardinal Parocchi, the paper adde(‘l, was_ president of the commission, whic! would include eleven consultors chosen from different countries. BEET SUGAR OUTPUT, OF NOTABLE QUANTITY Many Localities Benefit Greatly From Conversion of Tons of Their Product. SALINAS, Jan. 9.—At 5:30 o’clock yester- day the last load of beets for the season arrived at the Spreckels factory. The slicing will be finished to-night at 12 o’clock, but'several days will be consumed in manufacturing the sugar and the juice and syrup on hand. e receiving of beets was commenced on August 26 and slicing began on Sef)!emlnr 15, from which date the large mill has been running al- most without interruption down to the present time—115 days. This closes what is belleved to be the most successful beet- growing and sugar-making season over known in California. The total number of tons of beets sliced was 201,322, received from the following localities: Salinas Val- ley, 141,280 tons; Pajaro Valley, 5,910 tons; San Benito County, 27,620 tons; Santa Clara Valley, 16,512 tons, The grand total at $450 per ton, the rice paid for the beets delivered at the ‘actory, amounts to $1,310,949, which has been distributed this season. Sixty mil- lion pounds of sugar is the total output for the season, which at the present rate of 3% cents per pound amounts to $2,175,000. i ¥ L THREE MILLION TONS A STATE’S COAL OUTPUT ‘Washington Inspector’s Report Shows That the Year’s Product Was Enormous. . TACOMA, Jan. 9.—State Coal Mine In- spector Owens is completing his annual report, which will show that during 1901 ‘Washington’s coal output exceeded 3,000,- 000 tons, valued at $7,500,000, a production ‘which gave employment to about men. is 1S a substantial increase over any revious vearly record and would have n much larger had it been possible to obtain: cars for the transportation of the output to tidewater. Coal is found in twenty-one of the thirty-six countles in Washington and for- tunately its most extensive deposits are located in Plerce and King counties, di- rectly tributary to Tacoma and Seattle, ‘where it is chiefly used and shipped. The enormous output of last year was a pleas- ing showing to every one interested in the coal industry, especially in view of the fact that crude oil has made a serious in- road in the consumption of coal in Cali- | fornia. A year_ aj it was believed that the use of oil ha seriously affected the demand for coal, but the widening mar- | kets in Alaska and Hawail and the rapid- ly increasing needs of railroads and steamer lines gi that is not likely to be lessened. FRIGHTENS THE JURY BY A TERRIFYING CRY San Jose Man Accused of Murder Acts as if Insane in a Courtroom. SAN JOSE, Jan( 9.—A scene seldom wit- nessed in a court of law was enacted in Judge Lorigan's department of the Su- perior. Court this morning when Harry liott, charged with the murder of J. W. Sherman, was brought in for trial. Since his arrest Elliott has been morose and has refused to converse with any one. He is either becoming insane from brood- ing 6ver his crime or is enacting an able piece of shamming. When he was called to go into court to-day the officers found it necessary to bind his arms, as he had become violent and hysterical. He was carried into the courtroom and deposited in his chair. As he sat down he emitted a screech which caused the crowd of jurors, who were hovering over a heater, to scat- ter with a nervous impulse. In his chair he alternately laughed, we;t and moaned. The case went over until Friday in order that he may be examined by physicians. —_— Fiesta Dates Are Changed. LOS ANGELES, Jan. 9.—The dates for La Fiesta de las Flores have been changed.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.—The Senat‘e Committee on Military Affairs to-day unanimously agreed upon a report in the case making charges against Lieutenant Colonel H. O. S. Heistand of the army, Which was presented to the Senate by Senator Cockrell of Missouri. The report contains a concise Statement of the facts in the case as brought out by the inquiry and casts no reflection upon any of the officers of the Government whose names Wwere mentioned in connection with the matter. The report cites the charge quoted in the resoiution of inquiry that Colonel & combination for the purpose of con- trolling the hemp product of the Philip- pines and that the names of Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn, Assistant Attorney General Boyd, Assistant Secretary Allen and General Corbin had been frequently mentioned by him as assoefates with him in_the enterprise. . The committee finds that the charge made in the first paragraph of the pre- amble to the resolution is not true, the facts in that connection being that Col- onel (then Major) Heistand, about May, 1899, proposed to Major E, L. Hawks, who had been major of the Tenth Volunteer Infantry, a scheme for establishing a manufacturing plant in Manila for the manufacture of the hemp product in these islands and suggested to Major Hawks to take charge of it, which offer the It ter accepted. The company then prepared a pros- pectus and a blank for the names of sub- scribers, but the incorporation of the company never was consummated. The committee finds that Heistand and Hawks canvassed the possibility of interesting the Government officials mentioned in the resolution. It is found that Heistand wrote to Hawks in 1899 as charged, sending documents and mak- ing suggestions about the Philippine | tariff, but the committee says that these suggestions are capable of different con- structions. ““It is,”” says the report, “impossible for the committee to divine Colonel Hei- stand’s intention when he said: ‘Of course the needs of the future will be met as the);l require,’ referring to the Philippine tariff.” The committee finds that Hawks made a claim upon Heistand for compensation .for services, but the charge that Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn guaranteed to Hawks a position in the Government ser- vice in part settlement of this claim is not sustained by the committee, but it ig found that Meiklejohn did in March, 1900, appoint Hawks to the position of inspector of the customs service in the Philippines, which appointment was revoked by Sec- retary Root in the May following. Other findings are: That while Heistand was the projector of the hemp company he was not author- officials who were engaged with him and it is not found that the tariff duties would be adjusted for their benefit. That the matter of the adjustment of the tariff was never mentioned directly or Corbin, Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn, Auu}’utsnt Attorney General Boyd or As- | sistant Secretary Allen. That Heistand asked General Corbin to take stock and that the latter first as- | sented and then declined. The testimony concerning the charge that Heistand had promises from Assist- ant Secretary Allen and Assistant Secre- ment, but the following is added: “Your committee further finds that the Assistant Secretary of War, G. D. Meikle- john. has not used Government positions for the purpose of paving private debts of any officer of the Government.” The committee finds that the letter of | commendation of Hawks of date July 13, | 1899. signed jointly by Colonel Heistand, | Assistant Attorney General Boyd and As- | sistant Secretary Meiklejohn was not signed officially by thes® officers and also | that the wards “the Government will look | with favor on the same.” meaning the en- terprise, were not in the corrected copy of that letter. ————— NICARAGUA BUYS WARSHIP.

Sepias in Platinum Mingle With Bromides and Bichromates. The uninitiated tried hard last night to discover where the photographic folks ldiscover the subtle art of coming close to giving a true etching effect. The at~ tempt to find it all out was at the San Francisco Photographic Salon held at Mark Hopkins Institute of Art, where t.e artistic world paid all the honor in its | power to the photo artists by attending | in solid, fashionable body. All rooms were | thrown open and to the strains of an or- chestra the privileged visitors marched through corridor to balcony and from Troom to room, but the ong spacious cham- ber, with its platmnum prints, sepias, car- bons on celluioid, bromides and gum bi- | chromate prints, hung in admirable or- der, was the point to which all footsteps were eagerly directed. | Landscape and portrait vie with marine for honors, though in point of numbers portrait assumes the right of recognition, while on that score landscape and marine about divide honors. The portraits might become tiresome but for their remarga~ ble excellence. Frank Eugene’s works are platinum prints developed with a brush and show tue highest ciass of artistic merit. Frank Snyder has several admirable prints— Homeward Bound,” “The Gleaner” and athering the Sheaves.”” Dr. Maurice W. Brown has a well-toned bit of work in “The Marsh Road,” and Ernest G. Boon's “A Venetlan Byway" and E. M. Allen’s atmospheric studies are worthy the admiration they commanded. There is a portrait by George Habenicht which was deservedly praised. Carl E. Ackerman has a racult{ of giv~ ing to his work a Mephistophelian hue, Wwhich makes a warmth simply ooze out from the r%{pores of the prints. George V. obinson, N. isher, O.
