Stearns, a retired capitalist, hanged himself yester- day afternoon. He had been living for vears with his sister-in-law, Mrs. James A. Dyer, at 822 Dolores street. His de- spondency had been noticed for some time, and he had frequently threatened to end | his life. Mrs. Dyer found a note on the old man’s er saying: ‘I am down in the cel- r,” She went there at once and found the body hanging to a rafter. The old man had knotted a rope around his neck, and, standing on a barrel, had kicked the support from beneath him and strangled to death. The deceased was a native of New Hampshire, and was_supposed to have considerable wealth. His estate is said to consist largely of money in one of the local banks. He had resided in San Fran- cisco about ten years. DR. M. A. CACHOT DIES SUDDENLY IN OFFICE Well Known Medical Man Stricken With Apoplectic Stroke After Hard Day’s Work:™ Dr. M. A. Cachot, one of the best known physicians of this city, was taken sudden- ly 11l at his office on Tuesday after hav- ing been much engaged during the day. Dr. Perry was called in and found that the patient was suffering from an apo- plectic stroke. In spite of every effort Dr. Cachot expired a few hours after being stricken. Dr. Cachot was a charitable man and his loss will be deeply felt among those who were the recipients of his bounty and advice. Dr. Cachot leaves a wife and a daughter, Mrs. L. Therkelson, of Port- land, Or. ’The funeral will take place from the family residence, 1316 Golden | Gate avenue, this morning. —_————— REALTY COMPANY WILL SELL SUTRO PROPERTY Company Is Formed to Market Six- | teen Blocks of Land Near | Affiliated Colleges.

HILADELPHIA, May 1.—Cardinal Martinelli, Apostolic Delegate to the United States, stated to-day that he had been recalled to Rome by the Pope. While declining to be interviewed, Cardinal Martinelli said he would sail for Rome as soon as he could adjust the affairs of the papal delegation. He kas been in the city since Tuesday. PEORIA, IIl, May 1.—Cardinal Gibbons was interviewed shortly after the announcement was made of the re- call of Cardinal Martinelli from Washington to Rome. Cardinal Gibbons was in Peoria attending.the silver jubilee celebration of Bishop Spalding. He was in the company of Archbishop Riordan of San Francisco, and when shown the telegram announcing the recall was visibly affected by the news. After reading the telegram he turned to Archbishop Riordan and said: “This is very important; this is most sudden. We were not expecting anything of the kind so soon as this.” > Turning to the correspondent he said: “We have, of course, been expecting this some time, but did not think the re- call would come as soon as it has. Cardinal Martinelli had arranged to be in St. Louis May 18. He had also arranged to attend the consecration of a cathedral of another city. Of course all engagements are canceled.’ I have nothing more to say in this matter concerning the reasons for the recall. We are very sorry to lose the Cardinal, for by his conduct while in this country he has become very much endeared to us all. There is no probability that he will return, and we are not advised as to who his suc- Cardinal Gibbons left this evening for Baltimore and Archbishop Riordan for San Francisco. WASHINGTON, May 1.—Cardinal Martinelli to-day received a cablegram from Cardinal Secretary of State Ram- polla, at Rome, notifying him that the May consistory had been postponed from May 15 until May 29 or June 5, and that his presence would be desirable. This notification was unexpected, as Cardinal Martinelli’s plans contemplated an indefinite stay at Washington. The general opinion is that Mgr. Diomede Falconio, at present delegate to the Canadas, will not be the successor to Cardinal Martinelli, as was expected. His appointment would have been gazetted at Rome prior to this were he the selection for this important post. It also eliminates the name of Mgr. Zaleski, delegate apostolic to the Indies, from consideration, as it would be impossible for him to arrive in this country in time to receive the delegation from the hands of Mgr, Martinelli. Ec- clesiastical authorities here are of the opinion that Mgr. Donato Sbarretti will be made delegate apostolic at Washington. He is now a guest of Cardinal Martinelli. He was recently appointed apostolic delegate to the Philippines, and has been in Wash- ington conferring with the War Department officials for the' last six weeks. 1902. et ofe ! and Buckman after several days of lively bidding in the court room of Department 9 of the Superior Court.

MAKES SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST HER PASTOR Miss Hattie Bynum Accuses Rev. James K. Kelley of a Felony. A scandal in colored church circles de- veloped yesterday when Miss Hattie By- num, a pretty colored girl, 19 years of age, living ,with her mother at 1310 Jackson street, swore to a complaint before Judge Cabaniss charging Rev. James H. Kelley, pastor of the Third Colored Baptist Church, at Powell and Bush streets, with betrayal under promise of marriage. Rev. Mr. Kelley has been pastor of the church for over three years and has the largest congregation of any colored church in the city. Prior to coming here he preached in a church in Los Angeles. He came to Los Angeles from Alabama, where, 1t is said, he has a wife and family. Rev. Mr. Kelley went to the Hall of Justice about 9 o’clock last night and sur- rendered himself to ti.e police. Previous to this Judge Cabaniss, who issued the warrant for his arrest, had fixed the bail at $250 cash, and friends of the pastor at | once secured his release. The complaining witness was in the bond clerk’s office when the minister was | being bailed out, and expressed a willing- ness to compromise matters if a marriage could be arranged between them. To this the pastor indignantly refused to consent. He said he had Jjttle to say about the charge against him at present further than to state that it was entirely untrue and unfounded. He said _he had never noticed any display of affection toward himself on the part of the girl and could not account for her accusation. MAYOR SCHMITZ FOR GOVERNOR He Gives Out a Signed Statement on the Subject. Gossip That ‘Gage Will Get Into Contest for the Senatorship. The Republican machine bosses are wel- come to all the joy they can derive from the following statement signed by Eugene E. Schmitz: To set all gossip at rest I say: I am not now a candidate for Governor or any other office. I have at present not even in mind a second term in the Mayor's chair. I am going to do earnestly and as effectively as possible what my duty demands. When a new condition arises, whether it be political or other; whether it be for a ten- dered nomination” for Governor or the time for considering a second candidacy for Mayor, 1 'will be ready to meet it. Until then I do not wish to be looked upon as laying wires for any political nomination or as performing my dutles in the light of a personal political am- bition. As 1 have sald, I am not a candldate now for any political’ office. The most extreme declarations that I have offhand allowed myselt to make is that I believe it a good citizen's duty to perform any public service he may be called upon in any public station. I did say that if the people wanted me for Governor 1 would consider it. But the proba- bility was so distant that I did not think it was & matter of serious concern. E. E. SCHMITZ, Mayor. The Mayor’'s style of dealing with the gubernatorial question does not infringe on the Governor’'s patent. Gage, writing as a Czar might address his subjects, said to the Republicans assembled at San Jose; “And you are well aware that I desire and expect the people will accord me c.e proud distinction of a renomination.” READY TO CARRY STANDARD. The politiclans and the voters who take an interest in public affairs are convinced that Mayor Schmitz would readily carry the Republican standard in the next cam- paign 1f the convention should decide to %lace it in his keeping. The Mayor is a epublican. On the night of his election to the office he now holds he said to The Cal hile my election is a victory for the Union Labor party, it is also a great vie- tory for independent, anti-boss Repub- licans. I am a Republican and I rezard my election as a just and overwhelming rebuke to bossism.” The Republican Primary League, which has rendered so much service in the fight against bosses, has no candidate for Gov- ernor, but the delegates supported by the league will probably be instructed to vote for Hon. Jacob H. Neff for chairman of the convention. It is known that Lieuten- ant Governor Neff will not take orders from the bosses. He could not be per- suaded or forced to lend his ald to a ma- chine programme for excluding honestly elected anti-boss delegations and seating machine appointed delegates. SHADOW OF COMING EVENTS. The grimfl.ry election for delegates will not take place until August 12. that time many campaign events may occur. It would not surprise the man- agers of Senator Perkins’ campaign to | find Gage in the fleld as an aspirant for the United States Senatorship. The lack of enthusiasm for Gage at the San Jose convention and the fact that the only cheering for him came from the Sacra- mento contingent of office holders and the water front boosters convinced the party leaders of Gage's general unpopu- larity. It is the common belief that party defeat would be the outcome of his re- nomination. He is going on from bad to worse. The mistake, to say the least, of removing Dryden will turn a thousand voters against the Gage administration.

Golden Gate ave. that holdover Senators and sure winners among candidates for the Assembl{ will henceforth be liberally recognized in the distribution of State patronage. All the signs point to a purpose on Gage's part to get out of the losing fight for Governor i and try for the Senatorship. Since Mayor Schmitz indicated that he would serve the public in whatever ca- pacity it desired him to serve there has been a good deal of talk in machine cir- cles of putting Gage into the fight for the Senatorship. The bosses talk about a combine on the plan of Schmitz for Gov- ernor and Gage for Senator. The talk provokes a counter suggestion of Schmitz for Governor and Perkins for Senator.
