28 VNDERBILTS GOMING HERE Are Expected to Reach San Francisco About February 4. Herman Oelrichs Orders Apartments at the Palace for Party. Several members of the wealthy Van- derbilt family are expected to pay this | tity a visit early next month. Already the Vanderbilts are making preparations in New York for the long trip across the continent. A special train will bring the party to this city. Four of the best suites of rooms in the Palace Hotel were en- gaged yesterday afternoon for the ac- commodation of the visitors during their stay in this city. The apartments which were yesterday ordered for the party are the best the big local hostelry affords.

PURSER HUNT TELLS A PLAUSIBLE STORY Breaks Into a Smuggled Package and Escapes Punishment for Vio- lating the Law. T. C. Hunt, purser of the steamship Ar- &yll, told a plausible story to United States Court Commissioner Heacock yes- terday concerning his connection with a case containing twelve .quart bottles of bay rum smuggled into this port from Panama. Mr. Hunt was caught last Fri- day morning with a hatchet in his good | right hand breaking open the box of bay rum in the freight office on the wharf. | He admitted to Customs Inspector Bryant that the rum was his, and then asked whether the matter could not be fixed, by payment of the duty or otherwise. Hunt swore that although he had pur- chased the rum for his private use aboard ship it was not placed in his room as or- dered, but by mistake was put into the | hatch with the ordinary freight. It was removed to the wharf by the longshore- men with the rest of the ight. He took | his little hatchet to open the box, merely | for the purpose of identification. The pros- | ecution did not go into the matter of | breaking 0 a package of dutiable goods on its w to the appraiser, and Mr. | Hunt was discharged. —_————— WALSHE STILL CONTINUES TO GAIN OVER ALPERS Lebor Party Candidate for Supervisor Now Leads His Opponent by Forty-Five Votes.

Albert Albersmeyer Expires Just Before News of Riches Arrives. Take His Own Life at Hospital. Aberration Due to Worrying Over the Willowdene the Cause. Captain Sandal, former master of the British tramp ship Willowdene, who be- came suddenly insane a few'days ago and was taken to St. Mary’'s Hospital, at- tempted suicide yesterday by cutting his throat with a razor. But for the pres- ence of attendants he would have suc- ceeded. They grabbed him and took the razor away from him., The aberrated sea captain was placed in bed and a watch put over him. Captain Sandal's condition is due to worrying over the ship he formerly com- manded. He brought the vessel down from the Sound and on his arrival the agents notified him that the vessel had been chartered to take a cargo of muies to the Fiji islands. He did not find fault with his cargo, but did when they tried to convert kis ship into a_mule barn by erecting two stories on the main deck.

Assisted by Illustrations the Lecturer Interests Large Audience. Professor John Fryer, LL. D., deliv- ered one of those very interesting lec- tures last night which are proving so suc- cessful at the Mechanics' Institute on Saturday evenings. The title of the lec- ture was “A Trip to Peking and the Great Wall of China.” It was the sec- ond part of the lecture and with the llus- trations was much appreclated by a very large audience. Professor Fryer has & £00d delivery and his subject was a pop- ular one, especially since he possesses a fund of information upon matters per- taining to China and the late trouble which took the combined forces of civil- ized nations to properly adjust. Peking. with its temples and its Government buildings, its old places of interest, its own peculiar library, not endowed by philanthropists, and the public thorough- fare on which executions are conducted in full view of the populace, were a few of the subjects that kept the audience deeply interested for over an hour. The professor’s illustrations are exceptionally good and distinct. The pictures of build- ings and notables are in excellent preser- vation and are well reproduced on the screen. There was one set of pictures which must be particularly interesting to the amateur astronomer, namely, the pre- sentation of the antique astronomical ma- chines, which are a wonder to behold. During the late occupation of Peking the German and French armies took posses- sion of the scientific instruments of an- clent make, but the latter Government re- turned them, said the professor, a state- ment which was loudly applauded. WILL MAXKE EFFORT TO COLLECT TRENCHING FEES Auditor Baehr Will Ascertain if They Shall Be Deducted From De- mands of Corporations. Mayor Schmitz and Auditor Baehr will shortly confer regarding the moneys due the city for trenching fees by the big cor- porations. The amount due the city under the arqlnlnce aggregates about $5000, and steps will be taken to insure its collec- tion. A resolution was recently adopted by the Board of Supervisors directing the Auditor according to the charter to de- duct the amounts due the city from de- mands presented by the corporations for furnishing light and water. Former Au- ditor Wells refused to do so unless he wasg served with a court order. Auditor Baehr stated yesterday that he had not inquired into the matter, but he will at once consult his attorney as to his duty in_the premises. The board notified Treasurer McDou- gald that it desires to deposit the sum of $4307 which was collected by former ad- ministrations on street space permits, kettle permits, sidewalk permits, sub- sidewalk space permits and contractors’ moneys. Former Treasurer Brooks re- fused to act as custodian of the money, as It was not credited to any speclal fund by the charter.

Relief Must Come From the Person Responsible for His Oondition. Special Dispatch to The Call. SPOKANE, Jan. 2%5.—On a cot in the County Jall, sleeping the uncanny sleep of hypnotism, lies Hans Younger. Since Tuesday night the unfortunate man has been in this unnatural condition. Efforts of physicias to arouse him are futile. ‘Who put Younger into this sleep and for what purpose are questions that have been puzzling the authorities. Physiclans | say that if the influence be not with- drawn soon Younger's mind will be af- fected, as in all cases of continued hyp- notic state the mind is weakened. A local hypnotist named Rynorson is accused by two persons of having put Younger to sleep on the stage of a vari- ety theater on Tuesday night. Rynorson | denies the accusation and apparently wishes to be cleared of the charge, not-| witstanding the advertising such a case would give him as an exponent of the mysterious science. Two physicians to-day applied many of the tests used to arouse persons from a cataleptic state. All efforts failed and both physicians declare that unless the gerson who put Younger to sleep removes is influence there is no telling when the gmn will recover from his unnatural con- on. Younger is about 80 years of age. He is a powerful man and had worked at harvesting through the autumn. On Tues- day night he went to a variety theater, and on leaving went to his room. He was not seen again until Thursday evening, | when he came downstairs half-dressed | and said there were snakes in his room. | Edward Lewis, the clerk, knowing/ Younger was not a drinking man, sum- moned the police. Younger's body was then in semi-rigid condition. He was taken to the police station at midnight. Throughout Thursday. n]iht and day | Younger remained in the hypnotic state. | On Saturday morning he was taken to the County Jail and physiclans were sum- moned. They soon detected that You was under hypnotic influence. During ;en:il—consdous intervals Younger takes 00d. To'night Younger was in a deep sleep. His fingers twitched almost constant and he breathed laboriously. His feet an hands were limber but the rest of his body was rigid. . o e e e e e JUDGE EXPLAING THE NOY RULING Wife Not Cruel to Stay Away Froru Home Two Nights. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Jan. 2. ‘When Superior Judge Hall ruled yester- day in favor of Mrs. Freda Noy upon her | demurrer to+Bernard Noy's complaint of cruelty because she had remained from home two nights without his consent, his Honor says he did not intend to convey the tmpression that a wife could stay away from home ali night without her husband’s consent and receive judicial ap- proval of the act. ““My reason for sustaining the demurrer | to the count of cruelty,” said Judge Hall, “‘was this: ‘The couple had been married for four years | and the complaint only alleged that she had stayed out all night twice during that period. Now, while this is very wrong, I considered that'two instances of that sort did not con- stitute extreme crueity. My ruling did not condone the acts of Mrs. Noy. The question in the case is this: Would | the fact that Mrs. Noy remained from home all night twice within four years cause Mr. Noy grievous mental suffering or angulsh? The complaint alleges that on these two oc- casions she told her husband she was at one place when it was subsequently learned she was at another. In my opinion these two lone acts do not constitute extreme cruelty. Under that ruling the complaining hus- band has been given ten days in which to amend his complaint and to set forth, if | he can, further grounds for his charges of cruelty. —_————— DEATH REVEALS SAD CASE OF DESTITUTION Aged Woman Lives to See Her Daughter Buried, and Is Sent to Almshouse. A pitiable case of destitution was brought to light last evening by the death .of Mrs. Mdry Harmsen, a widow, residing at 304 First street. She had been | confined to her bed for a number: of months, a victim of consumption. For the last year Mrs. Harmsen has occupled the house with her widowed mother, Mrs. E. Hughes, and, the neighbors say, through the kindness of the landlord. The mother is 8 years of age and'is| ralyzed. During the sickness of Mrs. a. gllrmsen the two women depended en- tirely upon their neighbors for care and support. | Through the efforts of the people liv-! ing near by the services of a physician ‘were procured, but too late to save her, The attending physician notified the city undertaker of the woman's death and the body will be buried in the pot- ter's flold.

Committee Declares Certain “Colonizers” Will Soon Be in San Quentin. Epecial Dispatch to The Cail SAUSALITO, Jan. 25.—The chill ocean breeze that swept the Saysalito hills did not stay the ardor of members of the Sau- salito Municipal Improvement Club to- night, when they met in Geneva Hall to hear the report of thelr executive com- mittee and consider means whereby the poolsellers could be driven from the com- munity. A. J. Treat, W. G. Morrow, Frank Jones, George Harlan, J. M. Gil- gara, J. T. Harmes and O. C. Miller com- pose the committee and A. J. Treat made its report. He denounced the poolroom element, saying that the coming election would determine whether the people or the gamblers should run the town. Treat declared that If an election were held ‘to- day the gamblers would win, owing to the fact that they had imported voters. The committee, he sald, had been gathering evidence and expected to be in a position soon to give certain “colonists” a long residence in San Quentin. Treat told how a committee went to Sacramento and appeared before the last Legislature to get a bill passed prohibit- ing the sale of pools outside of a race- track. Commenting upon failure of the bill to pass he said, “We falled—you may guess why.” ‘The Grand Jury report, wherein the licensing of poolrooms in Sausalito was condemned, was mentioned as reflecting the sentiment of honest men regarding the conditions existent in the town. An effort was made to nominate two candidates for Town Trustees to-night, but it falled, because the club wanted further time {n which to select candidates. A motion by O. C. Miller that the nomina- tions be made by a nominating commit- tee of fifteep members was carried. Mil- ler sald that if the nominations were made in an open meeting the poolroom men would have their friends there to stir up trouble. A committee of fifteen will r | be appointed by the executive committee to assist In plloting the club’s nominees to victory. Amon%t hose who spoke were Commo- dore C. Harrison, George Harlan, O. C. Morrow. The meeting of the chair. adjourned to the call Installation and Banquet. District Deputy Grand President Mrs. J. P.
