In fear that | the defendants might leave the city, Dep- | uty Sheriff Hollingsworth was armed with { warrants for their arrest issed by Judge Cook. Later Judge Kerrigan issued an order by which the attorpeys for the plaintiff were empowered to release the Stones from custody if they so desired. Nearly the whole of vesterday the Stones | Were under examination in the private | offices of Attorneys Maguire and Bar- rett. Deputy Sheriff Hollingsworth during the | afternoon left the Stones in charge of Deputy Sheriff Timothy J.

The mystery surrounding the whole pro- | ceeding was enhanced when Attorney Ma- | guire and his colleague refused, with | many regrets, to account for the hearing | of the case in their private offices or to say why the Stcnes were released. On being asked for the plaintiff’s address there was a flar restraint and abso- lute refusal. The most that the attorneys would say was that they were taking the depositions of Mr. and Mrs. Stone. A courteous but firm determination not to answer followed when inquiry was made as to the identity of L. M. Kittrell, or_Ketrell.

Wagner of Stanford won the eighth annual debate for the Carnot medal held here to-night in Harmon Gymnasium between the University of California and Stanford TUniversity. The little group of half a hundred rooters who.came up from Pato Alto through the rain went wild when Wagner's name was pronounced as victor and physical discomfort fled before the joy of a well and hard earned victory. Wagner's debate was clever. He pre- sented his arguments clearly and with force and bis personal magnetism held his hearers. The debate was close, for the judges labored together nearly half.an hour before the decision was made. In spite of the rain that fell steadily Harmon Gymnasium was crowded. Every seat was occupied and the standing space around the galleries filled. om known number of chairs in the big build- ing it is estimated that over 2500 people heard the debate. The front seats on the north of the main floor were reserved for the California rooters and opposite them the Stanford supporters cheered. Bantering Precedes Debate.

The regular monthly meeting of the board of directors of the Merchants’ As- sociation was held in its rooms at the Mills building yesterday. Special com- mittees of six members each were ap- pointed to assist in preparing for the conventions of the Knights of Pythias and the Mystic Shrine, which are to be held in this city within the next few months. It is desired to make San Fran- cisco more attractive than ever as a con- vention city. A resolution was adopted requesting the Chief of Police to have the patrolmen throughout the city exercise greater vigi- lance in preventing rubbish from. being swept into the streets. On vote of the members of the asso- clation the board elected a committee of three, who as representatives of the mer- cantile community will confer with a central committee appointed to promote the scheme of establishing a central bu- reau for indorsement of the charities of San Francisco.

We thought you'd need it,”” retorted Berke- ley, and like a flash the Stanford men came back, “It's off side.” The question under .discussion was, “Resolved, That the President of the French Republic Should Be Elécted b the Direct Vote of the People. It ad- mitted of but few arguments, for each side brought out no more than three in the support of its contentions. The de- cision of the judges was based on the in- formation on the subject, the skill in de- bate and delivery of the individual and not on the,merits of the sides. Herbert L. Rothchild of California opened for the affirmative, outlining the general policy of the French Government and arguing that the proposed system would develop political parties in “France —necessary adjuncts for the correcticn of evils in parliamentary governments. His WARDS OF THE BITERS " SAY THEY ARE HAPPY Little Ones Appear in Court and De- scribe Their Life at Marin County Farm. The hearing of the petitions of M. J. White, secretary of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, and Mrs. Catherine Biter, proprietress of the Biter “baby farm” at San Rafael, was re- sumed in Department 9 of the Superior Court yesterday. The proceedings were enlivened by the presence in the court of the fifteen children who are quartered on 3 . All the little ones testified Thet e vere well fed and well clothed by the %yuers. and that they were happy and contented. Christopher Becker, M. Morrow and George Ring, members of the Marin Coun- ty Grand Jury, which investigated the “baby farm,” contradicted the stories of the Biter wards, however. e jury- men testified that when they visited the place they found the little ones dressed in rags, unclean and presenting an apear- ance of neglect. They sald further that they did not consider the home a fit place for the young people, owing to the pres- ence on' the premises of the brother of ‘Mr. Biter, who, they said, is an idiot: The testimony of Nellie Allen, who is but 14 years of age, afforded the court considerable amusement. When questioned by the court about her sleeping apartment she said: *I do not think that a very nice uestion for a man to ask a young girl.’” The case will be heard again next Friday. —————— Furey Being Brought Back. Captain Seymour received a dispatch from Policeman P. Sullivan yesterday morning in which Sullivan sald he left Prescott, Ariz., vesterday with Edward Furey for this city. Furey was a special officer for the Risdon Iron Works during the 1ecent strike, and on August 21 was arrested for assault to murder for shoot- ing at Peter Callahan, a marine fireman. He was held to answer by Judge Conlan on ‘November 30 and _gave $500 cash bail for his appearance.

T rebuttal weakened, rather than supported his first argument. Winner Speaks in Affirmative. E. W. Rice of Stanford spoke next on the negative, basing his main arrument on the proposition that popular elections would not fit into the existing political economv of France. The winner of the debate spoke on the affirmative. He brought out that the present form of election, that of the leg: islatures choosing the President, is a com- promise with the old monarchical institu- tions and a.tyranny as true as the mo archy. The reform would be democratic and it would glve the executive power that he would not be afraid to use. The French people have always survived re- forms and had learned the value and use of the ballot. Wagner's rebuttal was short. F. H. Allen spoke for California on the negative, arguing that the French con- stitution’ would not warrant the change. L. E. Martin, for California. closed for the affirmative and Herbert C. Jones of Stanford for the negative. Professor Charles M. Gayley of Call- fornia presided at the debate and the judges were E. S. Fowler, F. H. Wheelan and Samuel Knight.

CHANGES VIEWS ON [RISH PARTY Rosebery Would Alien- ate It From the Lib- eral Camp. i Speech of the Former British Premier Creates Some Enthusiasm. { LIVERPOOL, Feb. 14&—Lord Roseberry recelved a tremendous ovation at the great Liberal demonstration here this evening. His lengthy speech, the princi- pal one of the evening, was attentively recelved and heartily applauded. He failed to throw any fresh light on the | war situation, but he strongly emphasized | his hostility to the Irish party and his | desire to utterly alienate it from the Lib eral camp. During his remarks Lord Rosebery said that the greatest change In heart and head undergone during his five years’ ab- sence from public life was in regard to | the Irish problem. Gladstone's bills were | dead and buried, though that statement cast no reflection on the great statesman who originated them. The Irish party had now indignantly repudiated any connec- tion with the Liberal party, and he be- lieved they had acted wisely. It was both to their interests and to those of the Liberal party. The Irish leaders had played their full hand. They had de- manded an independent Rarliament in Dublin. and thereupon he had ecried “Halt!” . This remark was_greeted with applause. Continuing, Lord Rosebery said: I'am not prepared at any time or under any circumstances to grant them an independent Parliament. No sane person would ever con- zent to handing over the destinies of Ireland, situated in the very heart of the empire, to & Parliament controlied those who have ex- pressed the earnest wish that We might be overthrown in battle. The Irish question is too large for any one party. It will need the en- ergy and the patriotism of both great parties to deal therewith. These are my personal sen- timents, but I wish to make them perfectly clear on returning te public life, Regarding the war Lord Resebery said | he had been ignorantly ridiculed for the | suggestion of ‘‘casual peace negotiations | in some wayside inn.”” but he thought the | innocent mission of Dr. Kuyper, the Dutch Premier, bore a fairly close anal- ogy to such a course. The speaker said he thought the reply of Lord Lansdowne, the Under Secretary | for Foreign Affairs, to Dr. Kuyper was fitting and dignified, but he thought the vernment had acted wrongly in declin- ing to reckon with the Boer delegates in Europe and allow them to send a deputa- {lon to South Africa. “The trouble -with said Lord Rosebery, *is that they are always thinking of the present. I try to think of the future, when Boer and | Briton will have to live together in South | Africa.” The speaker appealed for an immediate | and searching inquiry into. the remount | scandal and commented generally upon | the Government's seeming want of pol-| iey in’ Malta and Wei-hai-wei. In con- clusion he begged that his hearers would | not be too ready to allow their hands to be tled by the Anglo-Japanese alliance.

SAN JOSE, Feb. M. awrence Yesces, the principal witness against A. W Brandt, who was brought back from Stockton a few days ago to answer to a charge of arson, was before Judge Lori- gan this afternoon on a writ of habeas corpus by which he sought to obtain ¥ release. For a couple of days Yesces 1 been held a prisoner in the County Jail. This morning Attorney B. A. Herrington obtained a writ of habeas corpus return- able at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The at- torney alleged that the young man was deprived of his liberty without a war- rant. Sherift Langford produced a signed statement from Yesces to the effect that the prisoner had not employed Herring- ton to represent him and that the peti- tion was presented without his knowledg= or consent. Herrington, however, claim- ed that friends of the young man had employed him. Judge Lorigan granfed the writ on ths ground that Yesces was held without due process, and ordered Yesces released. His liberty was of but a few seconds’ dura- tion, as Sheriff Langford at once arrested him as a witness. Yesces’ bond was placed at $5000, in default of which he was re turned to jail. Brandt also has been unable to supply the $5000 bail demanded in his case. The complaint against Brandt was sworn to by J. C. Arthur, the owner of a house on Minnesota avenue, which Brandt is al- leged to have set on fife. Slot Machines Are “Banking Game: FRESNO, Feb. 14.—Judge Church in the Superior Court to-day in the case of the People vs. L.

The tablet is the ideal form in which to ad- minister medicine, but until recently no suc- cessful catarrh tablet had ever been attempted. There is now, however, an excellent and pala- table remedy for catarrh in tabiet form, known 23 Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and soid by drug- glsts, composed of the most recent discoveries in medicine for cure of catarrh, and results from their use have been highly gratifying. The old time. treatment of catarrh was in the form of inbalers, washes, douches, sprays, etc. Later on internal remedies were used with greater success. but being In liquid or powder form were inconvenient to use and like all-medicines in liquid or powder form lose their medicinal properties when opened or ex- posed to the air. Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets contain highly con- centrated antiseptics, Red Gum, Blood Root, etc., which kill the catarth germs in the blood d mucous membrane, and in this respect are strictly selentific and modern, because all au- thorities are now agreed that catarrh is a con- stitutional blood disease, and local applications can have only a transitory effect.

It tcok me an hour or more of coughing, ng. expectorating and sneez- ing every morning before I could settle down to work, and this condition graduaily brought on catafrh of stomach, causing loss of appe- tite, poor ion and a foul breath. which anpoged me exceedingly. My physician ad- Vised me to try Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and 1 ished to find how quickly they cleared m: head, throat and stomach, and I tation in recommending them. They are mot only pleasant to take, but they seem to get the very root of the trouble, because si using them I have had no trace of catarrh.” Drugsists seil Stuart's Catarrh Tablets at 50 cents for full sized package. They can be carried in the pocket and used any time and as often as desired, since they contaln no cocaine; mercury or any other im- Jurious drug.
