When the detectives were first put on the case they learned that a waiter named Joseph Milian had been living with | the McIntyre girl at the Brunswick House at Bixth and Howard streets for some months past. and they took him into cu tody on suspicion. Later- they ascertai that he had a partner named Buchannan, who answered - the description of the larger of the two assailants, and-both of these were in custody when the old man’'s | daughter broke down and told of . their counection with the crime. Her account | of the facts as she stated it last night is as follows: ' Plan the Robbery. v name is Kate McIntyre, a daughter Mclntyre, residing at 91 Bryant street. On Thursday morning.

As e e e e e o ) | CHLOROFORM PROSTRATES | ARCHIE HUTCHINSON | s o | Young Man Who Reported Sensa- |~ tional Hold-Up Is Victim of Alleged Accident. Archie Hutchinson, 726 Post street, who recently reported a sensational hold-up to the police, in which a blonde woman ond two footpads, he sald, were con- cerned, was a victim last night of an overdose of chloroform. He denies that he took it with suicidal intent, but says that he tried “to doctor himself and made a mull of it.” His relatives say the same. Hutchinson is subject to fits and the { paroxysms render him mentally incompe- tent at times. One of these fits came upon him soon after his encounter with the footpads and chloroform was admin- istered to him at the Emergency Hospital, 1o _which he was taken. “This relieved me,” sald Hutéhinson last night, “and I tried the experiment again. 1.put too much on my handker- chief and when I was called by my sis- ter I was in a faint. I was lying on the | lounge and she could not arouse me.” —_——— Woman Commits Suicide. Mrs. E. Ridley, wife of an ironmolder, and residing at 776 O'Farrell street, com- mitted suicide at her home last night by swallowing a dose of carbolic acid. Be- cause of the-woman's intemperance the landlady ‘ordered the Ridleys to move. ‘While the husband was looking for other quarters his wife took the poison. The police were notified and had Mrs. Ridley removed to the Central Emergency Hos pital, where she died soon after her ar- rival. The body was removed to the | Morgue. | —_—— Fatal Easter Spree.

Komers, a hotel em- ploye. He was found at 11 o'clock yes- terday forenoon dead, lying on his face on the floor. After the door of the room closed upon him it is supposed he fell to the floor and died. The body was removed to the Morgue.

On the Sat- urday . following 1 asked Buchannan what had become of the pistol and he told me he had returned it to the man he had bor- rowed it from. I do not remember the name he gave, if any. This conversation occurred in Buchannan’s rcom opposite mine, | Men Admit Description. |~ “On the morning of the assault, during | the conversation in my room, both ten | admitted their participation in the crife.

That is the last time I saw him until [ was' confronted with him . in the City Prison to-night.” Captain Seymour took the girl to the rison and had -Buchanan and Milian Emugm out for inspection. The arch-con- spirator in the crime came out. buttoriing his collar and evaded as long as he could the glances of his former consoft. He was nervous, but when finally forced to | face his accuser he exhibted a wonderful amount of nerve. The girl readily identified both men. | When Milian was asked if he knew the girl he answered airily: ““Well} I ought to, I have been engaged to her twice.” | Buchanan said he knew the girl by sight only. Later he admitted knowing her personally, but denied any knowledge of the crime ‘attributed to him. The woman pleaded first with her con- sort and then ‘with both men to tell the truth, aseuring them that it would be bet- ter in the end. She declared over and over again to Milian that she loved him better than life, and that if he was pun- ished she would share his fate. He cau- tioned her to keep quiet, and finally be- came provoked at her pleading with him | when he realizes how strong the proof is to confess. against him. His hope is‘that McIntyre You are trying to get out of this your- m.y” fail to identify him. e < self and saddle it all onto me,"” he said. The girl quickly resented this imputa- tion, but before she-had time to reply she was led away and locked up in the matron's ward. ‘0 charge was placed against her, and she will probably be held only as a.witness. Bhe stated that she spent Sunday night In Oakland and yes- terday concluded to end her existence by jumping in the bay. Better judgment pre- vailed, and when she returned to the city she went again to the Brunswick House. There she was told that Milian and Bu- chanah had been arrested, and that she had better skip out. Her desire to ses Milian led her to the Hall of Justice, and once there she told her story to the first man she met. This happened to be Barney Flood, the bond clerk, and he had her detained until Ca‘)tain Seymour ar- rived and took her full statement. Milian and Buchanan were booked on the charge of burglary and attempted murder. The three other suspects, now | held in connection with the crime, will be released this morning. McIntyre is re- ported to be improving steadily at St. Mary’s Hospital and, as soon as his con- dition will allow, Buchanan will be taken before him for identification. Besides the confession of the daughter, Mrs. Isel and her daughter, Miss Boerer, who live next to the McIntyre house, have identifled Milian as one of the men they saw climbing over the fence after the as- sault was committed. Joseph M. Hayes, who claims' that Milian made a proposi- tion to him to rob McIntyre, made a state- ment to Captain Seymour yesterday after- noon to that effect. Millan says that Hayes is an enemy of his, and that the statement is the result of spitework. A Typical Criminal. Milian claims San Francisco as his | birthplace, and says his father lives at 23 Randall street and is a cook. He has shifty eyes and in appearance is a typi- cal. criminal. Despite the eviuence that has accumulated against' him he main- tains his innocénce of the crime with which he is charged. Buchanan is a much better appearing man. He also denies any connection with the assault, but the indi- catfons are that he will finally confess FOR MEN. 924-926 Market. FIVE DOLLAR ELECTRIC BELT Same as others sell at $15 and $20.

Riordan Leaves 3 To-Day for Washington, Ac— companied by Father Dempsey. His Grace Archbishop Riordan, accom- ] panied by the Rev. Father E. P. Demp- sey, leaves to-day for Washington on the overland limited.” Now that the an- nouncement of his departure for the East is made, many will conclude that his mis- sion East is for the purpose of consulting with the other American Archbishops in reference to the selection of a coadjutor to assist him in his labors. Such is not the case, nowever. He goes to Washing- ton in reference to the Pope Pius fund, upon which he has worked compiling figures for several months. That the Archbishop intends applying for a coadjutor to assist him is a fact. The Call many months ago made the an- nouncement that his Grace was seriously contemplating the step. Since that time, however, Archbishop Riordan’s health has steadily improved and he temporarily let the subject pass from his mind. In the last month or so the noted prelate has | been unusually hard worked and at a meeting of the local pastors of San Fran- cisco he casually brought the matter up. He stated that he was growing older and that as Catholicism spread in his diocese he felt the need of a coadjutor. ‘While his Grace is in Washington he will meet a number of the Archbishops, but it is most improbable that the prelates will at this time make nominations for a coadjutor. Will Send Name to Rome. The coadjutor, who will be Archbishop Riordan’s successcr, will be a Bishop and he will upon the retirement of Archbishop Riordan succeed him as Archbishop of San_ Francisco. When the coadjutor is appointed he will be seected by the Arch- bishops of this country and his name will be sent to Rome for indorsement. Who this Bishop will be is a subject that is causing much discussion in ecclesiastical circles. The nominee, in any event, will be a Bishop of the Catholic church and not a cleric who holds no higher ranky than that of assistant pastor. The most prominent vrelate for the of- fice locally is the Rl?hl Rev. Montgom- | ery, Bishop of the Diocese of Monterey. Should the selection have been left to the local council of iremovable rectors, Bishop Montgomery surely would have secured | the office. He has made a splendid record in Soutkern California during his many years of service as a Bishop and he is certainly: the popular choice. It is rumored, however, that the ap- pointee must be a comparatively young | man.- Bishop Montgomery is already well on in years and is in fact almost as old as his Grace Archbishop Riordan. It is con- ceded, however, that should Bishop Mont- gomery be appointed from the Holy See of- Rome there would be no more pop- | ular movement in the Catholic church on the Pacific Coast. ‘Will Work in Harmony. ‘When the Archbishops of America se- lect a coadjutor they will work in perfect hlarmony with Archbishop Riordan, and his selection will undoubtedly be the man | whom the Archbishops nominate. It will take several months before the appoint- ment {s made, as matters of this kind, after being carefully weighed in this country, are also thoroughly considered in Rome. The pastors of this diocese will mot nominate the coadjutor, but when the matter does come before the Archbishops | they, and they alone, will determine who will be chosen to assist his Grace Arch- bishop Riordan. DEFENDANTS WITHDRAW PLEAS OF NOT GUILTY One Charged With Grand Larceny, the Other With Three Charges of Burglary. John Keenan withdrew his plea of not guilty on a charge of grand larceny in Judge Cook’s court yesterday and seven prior convictions against him-were with- drawn. He will be sentenced Friday. He stole two hydraulic jacks, valued at $25), from the E. B. & A. L. Stone Company, on February 14, which he sold to a junk dealer.

CINCINNATH JTRAY BULLET WINGS MURUI Highbinder Misses His Man and Hits Japan- ese in Hip. K. Murul, a Japanese, employed at 260% Brannan street, was shot at the cor- ner of Jackson and Dupont streets, last | evenirg. The bullet that struck the un- fortunate Japanese and sent him to the hospital was intended to end the earthly career of some highbinder, on whose head a price had been set. Who did the shoot- ing is yet a matter of conjecture, but Detectives McMahon and Gibson, who were detailed on the case, expect to land the Mongolian gunman behind the bars before very long. Two shots were fired, one of the bullets striking Murui in the right hip. %t the Central Emergency Hospital, to which the injured Japanese was taken, he made a statement to the effect that he was walking down Jackson street when the shooting occurred. He said he heard one shot, and turning, saw a Chinese with a gun leveled at another Chinaman, who was standing near him. A second shot followed and Murui felt a sharp pain and fell to the sidewalk. The shooter was attired in_American clothes and wore a sweater. He made his escape through a building on Dupont street, between Jack- on and, cific. sAl’wlheryflstm'}' is that the shots were fired by another Japanese. Some Chinese spectators say that a Japanese dropped a small bag, which was picked up by Murui. The latter, it was sald, started to run away and the owner of the property fired the shots at him. This story is discredited by the police. Petitions in Insolvency. The firm of Biggs & McCormick, butch- ers, South San Francisco, and Donald M. Biggs and Martin J.

No one disputes the fact that we are living in a “rapld” age; it is rush, rush, rush from morning until night, and com- petition is so flerce that the struggle does not cease until the machine is worn out. Women, tco, even when surrounded by every comfort, bécome infected by the common spirit, and what with their clubs and many social duties, have no time to give thought to their physical well-being, until they are suddenly brought te a sharp realization of the fact that noth- ing In their lives is so important as at- tention to correct, or rational living. It may surprise the readers to learn that ‘women are more prone to piles than men, and in most cases, because it is difficult to impress upon them the importance of regular movements of the bowels; irregu-, larity means straining at stool, and straining means piles, with the certainty (under the usual methods of treatment) that the sufferer will “have them always with her;” by “usual methods” is meaat the application of salves and lotions, or (as a last resort) a surgical operation. If there is a complaint which entails more distress and suffering upon those afflicted than piles or hemorrhoids, it is not known to the writer; fortunately, how- ever, these are learning that there is a remedy that effectually cures all forms of piles; it is known as the Pyramid Pile Cure, is in suppository form, is applied directly to the parts, and does its work quickly and painlessly; it is sold by drug- gists for fifty cents a package, or will be mailed by the makers to any address, upon receipt of price. Mrs. John H.
