OUISA LINDE, an exceptionally pretty 16-year-old girl, is among the missing. She disappeared mysteriously from her home at 649 Third street, on December 11 | | of 1ast year, and no trace of her has since been discovered. The authorities were notified on the day following her depar- ture, but a long and careful search has been unrewarded. Her parents and the other members of the family have become wildly alarmed for her safety since the awful details of the murder'of Eleanor Fuller have been made public. Charles Linde, the father, who has been employed as a carpenter by the Southern Pacific Company for fourteen years, states that he can guess no reason why his child should leave home. The circumstances of her disappearance are most peculiar. On the afternoon of December 11 she was engaged in making a doll, intended as a Christmas present for a little sister. Mrs. Linde was assisting her. It was found that there was not enough cotton in the house to stuff the doll and the mother volunteered to go to the store and secure some more. She was absent about half an hour and on her re- turn she was unable to find the girl. When suppertine had passed the family became worried and a search among rel- atives and friends was immediately insti- tuted. All efforts were futile, and early on the following morning the police au- thorities were notified. Howes Protests Innocence. Detective Coleman was detailed on the case, but could learn nothing of the whereabouts of Louisa. Frank Kane of the Soclety for the Suppression of Vice and Secretary White of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children were CLARK A AL CLARK OF HUNTINGTON Senator Is Worsted in First Skirmish in Los Angeles. Special Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, Feb. 11.—Dramatic in the extreme was the climax of the battle between the Huntington-Hellman and the Clark-Hook street railway interests to- day. Not in recent years has such a con- test for supremacy between two rival raflroads been fought. While the mem- bers of the City Council listened unmoved to the appeals of some of the foremost attorneys of the city a crowd of specta- tors breathlessly heard the speeches that brought to a close a contest that revealed Senator Clark as a formidable rival of the Huntington-Hellman syndicate for supremacy in Los Angeles railway circles. The fight arose over the granting of frenchises for street railways, for which bids were opened yesterday. E. Murray, the mysterious person who bid $415,000 for the 8ixth and Seventh Ward franchise, aund was given twenty-four hours in which to deposit the money, failed to ‘‘make good.” This left E. A. Davis’ bid of $139,000 the next highest, and only to-day it was learned that Davis represented the Clark interest. ‘When the time expired this afternoon without Murray’s money having been de- pesited the City Council declared his bid entitled to no further consideration and fell back upon Davis' next highest bid of $139,000. torney, however, bids were reopened. H. E. Huntington’s representative at once bid $152,900 and was awarded the much-desired franchise. Thomas Warns the Council. When Frank J. Thomas gave the first intimation that the money of Senator W. A. Clark was behind the Traction Com- v, whom Davis represented, the audi- broke into cheers. Said Thomas: We have fought this fight before. It has been a contest between a small corporation and a great one that sought to overshadow it. Your own people were instrumental in secur- ing the passage of the law under which we are now proceeding and which we insist shall be followed. We have obtained the money to carry out our plans and we demand that franchise; we demand it under the proyisions of the law that was framed and passed by you, gentlemen —you who are now trying to evade a plain | provision of the law. Mark you well that the provision is made that the franchise goes to the next. highest bidder-—not any man who comes in here one day with a bid of $25,000, as did_the Hunting- finds the next day the fran. worth §100,000 more to them Upon the advice of the City At- | |ion that she may have gone somewhere also informed of the matter and made diligent, but fruitless, investigations. Mrs. Linde states that her child may have been lured away by Fred Howes. | an employe on a boat running between this city and Seattle. It is said that the girl liked him, but that the father forbade | him' the house by reason of his alleged bad reputation. The two young people met secretly, however, at every oppor- tunity. Howes was charged with en- ticing the girl away by her brother, but he denies all knowledge of the matter. It Is stated that he introduced Louisa to a female acquaintance called Mrs. Wil- son, who was an inmate of a disreputable house, and who has since left the city. The parents of the lost child are of the opin- with tbis woman, ‘not knowing what was in store for her. There are no definite clews, however, and the reasons for Louisa’s sudden de- parture are merely matters of speculation. Parents Fear Foul Play. The mother says that the girl was al- ways well-behaved and obedient. She never left the house in the evening unac- companied by some member of the family, and with the exception of Mrs. Wiison and Howes her acquaintances were peo- ple of good character, her mother de- clares. She had never once intimated that she was discontented or contemplated leaving home. ‘Whether she left of her own volition or not is unknown. She took none of her wearing apparel, save what she had on, or other of her possessions when she dis- appeared. She is described as being slen- der and rather below the average height for girls of her age. Her hair and com- slexion are light. She wore a sailor hat, frimmed with black chiffon, and a black silk dress. She is said to have been unusually fond of home life, and of an affectionate dispo- sition. Because of not hearing from her after the lapse of so long a time her parents fear that she has met with foul p{’ay, cs- —but to the people who have put up $139,000. There are interests behind this bid as large as Mr. Huntington's—at least we have the money. ‘We demand the franchise. Cheers greeted this announcement. Then, without the least hesitation, Thom- as told the Council almost in so many words that the plan to grant the fran- chise to Huntington would be resisted in the courts. Gold Coin Stacked on Desk. Supplementing Thomas' declaration was the appearance of the Clark money. The coin, amounting to $139,000, was piled high on the clerk’s desk. To-day’s contest embraced in gll three electric street railway franchises, which the Council had put up for sale to the highest bidder on Monday at the instance of the Huntington-Hellman syndicate. They were considered of especial value owing to the iInsertion of a clause per- mitting the hauling of freight cars over the proposed routes. When the bids were gpened vesterday it was found that the untington-Hellman syndicate had bid only ,000 for the two franchises that were of real value, the third being a short connecting link between two _existing lines. To-day, when the Council permit- ted the Huntington-Hellman people to put in another bid, 10 per cent higher than that of Davis, the fight hinged on the right of the Council to accept new bids. That body, finally decided it had the right to do so.”' The Clark-Hook combine, rep- resenting the Traction Company, will now carry the case into the courts. — —————— WITNESSES IDENTIFY ROBINSON’S SLAYERS Evidence that the police have in cus- tody two of the men who were concerned in the murder of Police Officer Robinson on Valencia street a few weeks ago is rapldly accumulating.

BOTH AAKERS B0 T0 PRISON Judge Harrington Cele- brates His Recovery From Illness. Special Dispatch to The Call. ALTURAS, Feb. 1.—John E. Raker and his brother, Cal Raker, spent part of to- night in jail for contempt of court and for refusing to obey the rulings of Judge Harrington in the Lookout lynching case. Judge Harrington, after his briet ill- ness, made his appearance in court to- day apparently determined not to listen to arguments of any kind on questions already ruled upon. He cut John E. Ra- ker off shortly on several occasions, es- pecially when the defense attempted to introduce the evidence of Richard Nich- ols given before the Grand Jury. During his examination of witnesses this afternoon John E. Raker persisted in asking. leading questions, and during cross-examinations by Assistant Attorney General Post, for the prosecution, Raker made many objections, usuall, ing to add a speech to each. Judge H: rington would not countenance er’'s manner of making objections and cut him off summarily. Then Cal Raker got into trouble by making a vehement protest. Judge Harrington declared a recess and had commitments prepared ordering the Sheriff to take charge of the Raker broth- ers from the time of the adjournment of court at 5 o'clock until 10 o’clock to- night. Both men protested vigorously and were threatened with imprisonment until 10 o'clock to-morrow morning. Judge Harrington declared himself to the effect that in future he would conduct the case on moredflg}? Illll}es. Richar: chols was on the stan greater part of the afternoon. The p‘;h: cipal fact testified to by him was that he heard shots fired on the night of the Iynching, but made no attempt to investi- gate, remaining in bed until 4 o’clock. At that hour Brown, the defendant, who had been acting as guard at the hotel, awoke him, telllng him that ‘“the men have all been hanged.” Nichols dressed 5"331 went to the bridge to view the es. ‘Walter Criss and John Howell gave tes- timony n contradiction to that given by Lafe Harris, a witness for the prosecu- tion. e VIENNA, Feb. 11.—The representatives the various committees appointed by the lll:f ister of Commerce to consider the best means ition Will be ha rfi to- of meeting MOTTOW, PECULIAR Grant Seen on Street With a Young Girl. —_— Charles Long Reports Cir- cumstance to Police Authorities. HARLES LONG, proprietor of a saloon at 41 Turk street, made a statement to the police yester- day which is considered to be of the greatest importance. Long said: “About three or four “weeks ago my barkeeper, Ernest Woodcock, called me out of the saloon and told me to look across the street at a man who was sky- larking with a girl. ' I recognized the man as Attorney Hugh Grant. He was walk- ing up and down with the girl from the corner to a Chinese store. The girl acted as If she wanted something in the win- dow of the store. I told Woodcock that the man was Attorney Grant. Woodcock said something about him acting in such a pecullar way with a young girl and I said it might be his daughter. I'did not know at the time that Grant had a daugh- ter.. Woodcock and I have talked over the matter since the murder of Nora Ful- ler, and we have remembered that the girl we saw with Grant wore a cap and a cape. I have seen the cap and cape worn by Nora Fuller, but I cannot say that they are the ones worn by the girl I saw with Grant. I only remember that the girl wore a cap and cape. The girl I saw with Grant was quite a largé girl, about 14 years old, and wore a skirt about half way to her ankles. I think it was about 4 o'clock in the afternoon when we saw Grant with the girl. It may have been on a Sunday, but I cannot say as to that. I will talk the matter over with Woodcock and see if we can fix the date definitely.” L e e e ) COURT GLASHES WITH OFFIEHL Judge in Hawaii and Attorney General Disagree. [ HONOLULU, H.'T., Feb. 5.—The opening of the February term of the First Circuit Court developed at once a new and more acute phase of the clash between the Cir- cult Court judiclary and the Attorney General's department over the matter of the transition period in criminal cases. Judge Gear, the presiding Judge of the term, ordered the immediate trial of pris- oners formerly convicted by methods he held some months ago to have been ille- gal, and since indicted for the same of- fenses by a Grand Jury. The Attorney General is prosecuting the men under the new indictments and at the same time is holding that the old convictions are valid. This question wil come up in the United States Supreme Court next April. Gear originally released the prisoners because they had been tried without Grand Jury indictments and convicted without unanimous jury verdicts after the annexation. Attorney General Dole, holding that United States laws regard- ing such matters did not extend to Ha- waii by virtue of the resolution by which the isiands were annexed, nor until the Hawalian Territorial act took effect, took an appeal, though Gear denied the prose- cution’s right of appeal in such cases. The Supreme Court of the Territory sus- tained the Attorney General, but United States District Judge Estee rendered a decision on habeas corpus according with of Gear. tl"é”ltnce Estee’'s decision Judge Gear has held to his view as therein indorsed in spite of the Territorial Supreme Court's decision the other way. He declines to recognize the old trials as valid. The At- torney General’s department presented the cases over again to a Grand Jury and had new indictments brought, and the cases came up for trial again this term. Attorney General Dole had appealed one of the cases, that of Osaki Mankichi, charged with murder, to the United States Supreme Court, and he asked that all the cases be postponed until that one is de- cided. The attorneys for the defendants demanded immediate trials under the in- dictments, and Gear refused the continu- ances asked for by the prosecution. Dole asked the Teritorial Supreme Court for an injunction to stop Gear from hearing the first case, which had been begun, but the Supreme Justices refused to issue an injunction. JUSTICES WILL SOON DECIDE THE BOTKIN CASE Way Is Likely to Be Opened for New Trial in This State. ‘WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.—When the Su- preme Court of the United States recon- venes. on the 24th inst. a stipulation will be filed for the dismissal of the case of Mrs. Cordelia Botkin versus the State of California, and doubtless the court, act- ing in accordance with unvarying prece- dent, will grant the motion. The plaintiff in this case was in 1898 trled for murder in San Francisco on the charge of murdering Mrs. J. P. Dunning by sendl: her a box of poisoned candy. Bze was found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment. The case comes to the United States Supreme Court on a writ of error to the Superior Court of San Fran- cisco _on a habeas corpus proceeding in Mrs. Botkin's behalf. The appeal was at- tacked by the State of California on the ground that the Supreme Court is without Jurisdiction, and a motion has been filed with the court by the State to dismiss the case for this and other reasons. The court is now in recess and will not convene until the 24th. At that time Rep- resentative Coombs of California will ap- pear for Mrs. Botkin's counsel and con- sent by stipulation on her behalf that the case shall be dismissed, in order that pro- ceedings for a new trial may be instituted in California.
