18 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, FEBHKUAKY ‘23, 191z, ISMAR. A STARTLIN DEVELOPMENT OF THE Walla Wa_lla_ Disaster, Ismar’s Remarkahe Warn- ing to Ermest L. Marshal. It has just come to light that Ernest L. Marshal, one of the missing passengers of the ill-fated Walla Walla, was warned In advance by Ismar, the wonderful seeress, that if he went aboard the vessel he would never see land again. It further develops that after receiving the warning mentioned he flippantly related Ismar's| words to his wife and several friends, and just before departing took up a glass of liquor and jokingly said: ‘““Well, here's to your good health; as for me, I'll never see land again, but I'll have plenty of water.” 5 His wife, more sensitively organized and more powerfully influenced by intuitive impressions, regarded Ismar's warning as a portent of impending disaster and begged him to remain on land; begged as only a serious-minded, fear-wrought woman can beg—with tears on her cheeks and all the energy that a woman of sensi- tive mind and nerves can put into plead- ing; but all to no purpose. Manlike, he had made up his mind to two things: First, to go on the Walla Walla, and sec- ond, to treat the warning of Ismar as a jest. The sequence shows conclusively that Ismar's power to read future event; is wholly dependable and trustworth: that if you are about to take an unusual step; are about to embark in a new undertaking; are contemplating even such commonplace enterp as busin matrimony or speculation, her advice positively of the utmost value.

Physician and i’a.rent Suc- cumbs to Strain of a Long Watch. ALAMEDA, Feb. 22—Dr. Alpheus H. Julian died at midnight last night at the Alameda Sanatorium, a victim of pneu- moria, brought on through overwork and tireless attention in caring for his only son, who-is just now convalescing from an attack of smallpox. Dr. Julian came to this city some weeks ago from Janesville, where he has prac- ticed medjcine for several years, to care for his boy. He intended to return there in a few days, but was taken down with the disease which ended his life. His wife had been notified of the illness of her husband and arrived here in time to be near him when he passed away. Deceased was 49 years of age and was a member of the Odd Fellows. The re- mains will be forwarded to Janesville for interment. The son for whom the father sacrificed his life came to . Alameda to attend he Julian family. . 'When it was certain that he was afflicted ‘with smallpox his father hurried to his assistance and with paternal devotion nursed the boy safely through every stage of the malignant dis- case, only to dle a martyr to his faithful- ness. et TENNIS PLAYERS TURN OUT IN NUMBERS Csquelicot’ Club Holds a Holiday Tournament at Its Courts in East Oakland.

Colonel Burdett, after a des; attempt to save his life, met.death * in a shocking manner. His skull was split open amf he was found shortly after 6 o'clock lyln‘g in the courtyard within tl hotel. He had fallen six stories. Colongl tt was a guest on the sixth floor of the hotel. Soon after the fla:;gotsgigereuhed mg.“ all escave was cut off. H}uflmed the mattress sheets together, he made a rope an land on the mattress and thus break his fall. He miscalculated fltllNdllh‘l:flca and fell to the court, \Rb thirl J. M. Sheehan, a contractor of ewburg, Pa., occupied a room on the four floor. He was asleep in his room until he heard the sereams of “fire”’ in the hall. He partially dressed himself and groped his way throu%:: the smoke and dark- ness until he reached the stairway. There he was met by two elderly women, who were trying to find means of escape for themselves. ‘With his assistance the two women were led to safety and he himself escaped. A pitiful sight was that of Mrs. Piper, whose husband, Colonel Alexander M. Piper, was found burned to death near the elevator shaft. She managed to escape and was taken by friends to a private residence but partly clad. She was not in- {glrlmhed of the death of her husband, 8s it was feared that the shook would er. One of the saddest incidents of the fire was the death of Mrs. Salome Fos- ter, the “Tombs Angel,” who for fifteen years has done service in behalf of female prisoners in the Tombs and other city prisons. . Foster was the widow of John W, Foster, and had lived for the last five vears at the Park Avenue Hotel. Her income, which at one time was considered large, was for the most part expended upon the deserving poor. 8. S. Granger of Seattle, who had been a guest at the hotel for three days, has this to say of the fire: “I was in a room on the second floor front, facinj Park avenue. About 1:30 o’clock I was awakened by the noise and excitemen: that attended the burning of the armory. 1 went down Into the hall and met & man hastening through the corridor. He said to me, without my asking a question: ‘Don't worry; this hotel is fireproof. There is no danger.’ ““There is always danger,’ I sald. ‘I lost my wife ten years ago by fire In a Nebraska hotel, and I am going out as fast as I can.’ 1 went to my room and gathered a few things together. The fire in the armory at that time being extinguished and the danger becoming less, I remained in my room for over an hour, and then I hastened downstairs. Soon afterward the flames wer2 dis- covered in the hotel. There was no notification and no rapping by any of the hotel employes that I heard.” Norman Acton, a mine-owner of Colorado Springs, lost his life in the fire. He was the largest stockholder in the Colorado Mining and Milling Company. He had been at the hotel only a short time. Willilam Pears, the London rep- resentative of the Oro Cobre Company, called at Bellevue Hospital, where Acton died, and identified the dead man as his business associate. It is said that Ac- ton was worth $5,000,000. ALL BELLS ARE RUNG TO AROUSE GUESTS. Frederick R. Reed, manager of the hotel, said: “The minute the fire started in the hotel I summoned all available men and sent them through the halls to give warning. I cannot see how any one could have failed to have been aroused by the bells that were rung from the office. I went upstairs and got my wife, who was on the fourth floor, and descended with her to the street in safet: Then I went to the roof, and when I found that the flames were becoming dan- gerous I descended for ‘my own safety. The fire unquestionably started in some way in the bottom of the elevator shaft. I belleve that the fire was of incendiary origin and in no way conungent on the fire in the armory building.” Reed was himself burned about the face and neck, and after he had been at- tended by an ambulance surgeon directed affairs in person. Fire Commissioner Sturgis sald that he was at the scene of the armory fire until 2:15 a. m., and that when he left there was no fire in the Park Avenus Ho- tel. He said further: “I believe the hotel fire to have been a, separate and distinct fire, and that it started in the elevator shaft. I was surprised to learn that there was no fire ap- paratus and no means of escape in the building. Had the building been nine, stories in height we would have had jurisdiction, and the building -department would have compelled the manager to have standpipes and the other necessary fire apparatus. = But this building, having only seven stories, escapes the law. The fire department is free from all responsibility for the lack of fire appliances. It was supposed to be a thoroughly fire-proof building.” Fire Chief Croker said: “I believe that the fire in the hotel was separate and distinct from that which destroyed the armory, and the hotel d'd not catch fire from any sparks that came from the armory. The fire originat d in the basement and spread through the elevator shaft to the upper floors. The fact that the hotel ‘was practically fire-proof was responsible for the the fact that a greater con- flagration was averted.’” Police Captain John Delaney said he was positive that the origin of the fire was due to flying sparks from the armory, and to nothing else.

MADRID, Feb. 22.—The nearest ap- proach to truth that it is possible to glean from the mass of conflicting officlal and private dispatches from Barcelona indi- cates that the situation is still of the gravest character, but without any im- portant outbreak of fresh hostility be- | tween the troops and the strikers. The Senate and Chamber of Deputles were to-day presented with several reas- suring telegrams by the Minister of the Interior, Senor Gonzales, to the effect that the strike in Tarragona was ended and that tranquillity prevails at Sabadell. El Correo (semi-official) says there is a probability that a provisional settlement will. be reached. Private dispatches received here from Barcelona deny that there is any prob- ability of a settlement, and say the strik- ers are leaving the city in large numbers. It is certain that the soclalists are now endeavoring to minimize their share in the disturbances and to lay the whole blame for the rioting upon the anarchists, According to messages recelved here from Barcelona the police of that. city have captured documents showing that London anarchists furnished a consider- able amount of funds to the strikers and aided in organizing the outbreak there. Much alarm is felt at Valladolid, where the bakers threaten to strike. At Seville evidences have been found of an orga- nized attempt ta precipitate a fresh con- flict between the strikers and the troops. DEATH WILL SOON END LIFE OF TOLSTOI Reports From His Home Say thc Famous Writer Is Sinking Rapidly. ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 22.—The latest news recejved here from Yalta, Crimea, is to the effect that Count Tolstol is at the point of death. _ BERLIN, Feb. 22.—Advices received here from St. Petersburg attribute the ex- citement among the students partially to a false report, which was spread on Feb- ruary 20, of Count Tolstoi’s death. It was asserted that the authorities had re- pressed the news because the Holy Synod was undecided whether to proceed with the annual excommunication of the au- thor. Several hundred students attempted to invade the Kazan Cathedral here in o der to have mass celebrated for the re- ose of the soul of Count Tolstol, shout- ng: ‘“Long live the immortal Tolstoi, Russia’s ireaceut man! Down with the dogs!” The police charged and dispersed the demonstrators. The universities of Kieff and Kharkoff are closed. At the latter place the police came into collision with students and workmen. ¥ ADVERTISEMENTS.
