GRANTS PARDON 10 A DUELIST Emperor William Shows Mercy to Disgraced Officer. . Orders the Release of Lieuten- ant Hildebrand From a Fortress. BERLIN, July 3L—Emperor William has pardoned Lieutenant Hildebrand, un- der sentence of two years' imprisonment | in a fortress for killing Lieutenant Blas- | kowitz in a duel last November. The af- | fair attracted international attention, be- | cause Blaskowitz was shot and Killed on | the morning of the day set for his wed- ding. The duel, which took place at Inters- | burg, East Prussia, foilowed an episode in which Lieutenant Blaskowitz, while | intoxicated at his bachelor dinner, struck | Lieutenant Hildebrand. A regimental court-martial decided that the duel was unavoidable. An investigation developed the fact that Lieutenant Blaskowitz | e&woke the day after his bachelor dinner without any recoliection of the alterca- tion and went to visit his fiancee, whence he was recalled to fight the duel. Lieutenant Hildebrand served only sev- | en months of his sentence. Military men explain the pardon by saying that Lieu- tenant Hildebrand acted simply as the we of honor required; that he had to| fight and kill his opponent if he could There was considerable criticism of the sentence of imprisonment on Lieutenant Hildebrand on the ground that it was in- adequate. Comment was caused a!so by the fact that the trial was held behind closed doors, and that newspaper corre- spondents were forbidden to say anything concerning the meeting which brought about the duel.

Arrested for the Crime, the Mongol Commits Suicide in Jail SEATTLE, July 3L.—Detalils of the mur- der of the Indian girl at Petersburg, Southeastern Alaska, by Hip Hay, the Chinese, who committed suicide at Port Townsend last Saturday night, were brought south by United States Marshal James M. Shoup of Juneau to-day. The Indian girl had been educated at the Indian school and was a worker in the Salvation Army among her own people. Her body was found where it had been buried by the murderer on July 20. The motive for the murder, the Chinese | told one of his friends, was provided in her threat to testify against him for sell- ing whisky to an Indian. On the last trip downward the Dolphin brought Hip Hay as a passenger. Marshal Shoup sent word ahead ordering his arrest, and he was placed in jail when the Dolphin reached Port Townsend. The next morning he was found dead in his cell. He had com- mitted suicide by strangling himself with a shoestring. Hip Hay was foreman in a large can- nery at Petersburg, which is a small town on the coast. After the murder he severed the head and legs from the trunk of the body to facilitate burial. The ground over the remains was carefully replaced and covered with moss, but the body found later. ran high, as suspicion immediately_rested upen him. On the boat he said he had been forced to come aboard by a Japanese |who also was a passenger.

Henrletta L© B. Sutro is suing Edgar E. Sutro, son of the late Adolph Sutro, for divorce, on the ground of infidelity. Mrs. Sutro_alleges in her complaint that on May ' 26, 18%, and on several other occa- slons during the same month, Sutro vis- ited a certain Mrs. Merrill at the Hotel Lapkam in this eity. Mrs. Sutro further alleges that all the estate she possesses is a one-half interest in property in this city bringing $% a month.

RISES FROM DRIVER OF BOBTAIL G AKLAND, July 3L.—James P. Pot- ter will to-morrow assume the re- sponsible position of general su- perintendent of the extensive sys- tem of street railway lines in this county controlled by the Oakland Transit Company. Next to the office of general manager the place is the most important in the big cgrporation that owns all the streetcar roads on this side of the bay. Eleven years ago Potter was the driver of a two-horse opposition bus that car- ried passengers between Park street, Ala- meda, and Twenty-third avenue station in Oakland, connecting with the then free local trains. ‘From handling the reins and collecting the nickels in his hat on the two-horse bus Potter advanged to the more exalted role of driver of a’pne-horse | bobtafl car that ran on an occasional | schedule over the old Theodore Meetz line between this city and Alameda. Potter, the horse, the car and a ro..d- | bed that curved spasmodically comprised the entire operating and passenger depart- ments of the system. Oakland and Ala- meda people who boarded the orphan car were never certain when they would ar- rive at their destination and often carrled their lunch to better strengthen them to withstand a delay should a general block- | ade or a tie-up occur. PASSENGERS HELPED LIFT. | | This happened on numerous occasions | on the sunken section of the-road across the Webster street marsh. Tl!e bobtail car would strike a high or a iow place | and become derailed. Driver Potter would shove his head through the door and In- form those within that there would be a wait of fifteen minutes to give the man- agement an opportunity to get the road in running order again. He would also request several of the ablebodied male passengers to assist him in lifting _the rolling stock back on the track. This done the blockade was raised and travel resumed. Potter handled the one-horse | road as no one else.ever did and became | decidedly popular with everybedy who | had time to ride on his car. There was never a strike on the line, "~ After Theodore Meetz disposed of Ala- meda’s original street railway line to the Alameda, Oakland and Piedmont Company and it was converted into an_ up-tp-date electric line, ten years ago, Potter was hired as motorman No. 1. = He quickly moved a_step higher and became a con- ductor. In both of these positions he dis- played great efficlency and ‘mastered | tgoroughly every detail connected with | them. RAPIDLY PROMOTED. When Superintendent W. M. Rank need- ed a capable man to manage the office at | the Webster street power-house he se- lected Potter. In a short time he was pro- moted to be assistant superintendent of the Alameda division, The Oakland Tran- sit Company recognized his merits when it came into possession of the interests of the Alameda, Oakland and Piedmont Company and appointed Potter superin- tendent -of the western division of its | system. He leaves this position to take the general superintendency of all of the | Transit Company’s roads. His territory i will cover Oakland, Alameda, Berkeley, :| San Leandro and Haywards. : | Other changes made by the Transit | Company, to go into effect to-morrow, are | the naming of A. H.

WARDEN’S RESIGNATION , WILL BE REQUESTED Decision Said to Have Been Reached by Governor and Prison Directors. SACRAMENTO, July 31.—The Bee to- night declares that there is absolute foun- dation in fact for the statement recently published that Thomas Wilkinson will be requested to resign as Warden of the State Prison at Folsom. It is asserted that this conclusion was arrived at between Governor Gage and a majority of the State Prison directors and that at the next meeting the wish of the board will be made known to the Warden. It is declared that while nothing reflect- ing on the personal character of the War- den is alleged, his management of the prison is not such as to guarantee the maintenance of discipline, and the situa- tion calls for a change. No successor to Wilkinson has been named, but it is thought by some that the position may fall to Captain R. J. Murphy, an experi- enced prison manager. i~ And Whalen Twenty Miles Away.

Statement of Defense Shows the Conspiracy Charge Will Be Urged. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, July 3L The prosecution in the Dalton suit rest- ed its case this afternoon after the day had been nearly consumed with the read- ing of Dalton’s testimony before the Grand Jury, involving forty-five type- written pages. ‘When the case opened this morning the defense resumed its efforts to have all of Dalton’s testimony before the Grand Jury read for the benefit of the jury now try- ing Dalton. The prosecution introduced a portion of the testimony yesterday, but cenfined itself to two questions asked Dal- ton in the Grand Jury room—whether he had hypothecated his orders for $1375, and if the books had ever been delivered; to the first of which he answered in the af- firmative and “to the second in the nega- tive. It was urged by the prosecution that it could not stop there, but the defense insisted on its demand to have the whole read, and Judge Ellsworth decided that it could. The testimony was put in the form of a question. The reading took nearly all day, Attor- neys Fitzgerald and Snook alternating in the work. Dalton’s Grand Jury testimony was a long explanation of the circum- stances surrounding the giving of the or- ders for the books and the subsequent events regarding them. He maintained that he gave Stedman orders to substi- tute for the original order for seventy-five working rolls and thirty mortgage books, and that instead of protecting him, Sted- man had presented the bills to the county for the original order and collected the money, all of which he declared was part of a conspiracy against him. One of the xques(lons asked Dalton was the follow- ng: *‘Who would the Enquirer look to for its money if the money paid by the county was to go to Lanktree in payment of the Oakes claim?” “I don’t know," replied Dalton. DALTON MAKES DENIAL. ‘When asked what he had done with $300 Stedman testified he gave it to Dalton In a doorway on Tenth street on a hypothe- cated order for simy index books. Dal- received the money. Dalton also testified that when he gave the original order for seventy-five working rolls and thirty mortgage books he told Stedman not to deliver them for three months, but Stedman disobeyed his orders by presenting the bills for $1575 to éhe county for payment within thirty ays. “He juggled the orders,” “to hurt me."” “Did you order these books for the pur- pose of remunerating your-elf, or because you needed the books?’ was asked by .a grand juryman. “Because the books were necessa 3 And then the grand juror asked: “Do ;'Ovu know what Oakes’ financial standing “Yes; I know he makes $200 or $250 a month out of his paper aside from his salary as Postmaster.” - *“Yet you considered it necessary to ad- vance him money to pay his creditors?” “Well, I was willing to help him out. He owed money on a printing press and 1 helped him. 1 have helped him often and he now owes me several hundred dollars.” After the testimony had been read Frank E. Barnett, the stenographer of the Grand Jury, was asked if it was cor- rect and he replied that it was, ending the all-day question and the case of the prosecution. George A. Oakes was then recalled by the defense with the permission of the prosecution to relate the circumstances s\iltrrounding the making of his two affida- vits. OPENS FOR DEFENSE. Attorney Fitzgerald made the opening statement for the defense. He said Dal- ton would admit giving the orders for the seventy-five working rolls and . thirty mortgage books to Stedman, but that Dai- ton subsequently gave Stedman substitute orders to take their place. Stedman,” he sald, then saw a chance to betray his employers and became a party to the, al- leged conspiracy that culminated-in the Grand Jury indictments. g < “We will admit that Dalton gavi sald Dalton, continued, “but we will not admit: that'he wilfully defrauded this county.

R DENIES STORY TOLD BY 3TRONG May Yohe Declares She Was Robbed by the Captain. Says She Is Still Minus a Vast Amount of Her Jewelry. LONDON, July 31.—May Yohe reached here to-day from Plymouth, where she landed this morning from the Fuerst Bis- marck from New York. She was regis- tered on the steamer’s passenger list as Mrs. Batchellor. To reporters here she declared she had never authorized Putnam Bradlee Strong to pawn anything of hers and said she had never been paid any of the mouey obtained on the pawned jewels. When she was shown an interview with Strong in which he denied that he had pawned her diamonds she said: “That is all a batch of les. For the $400,000 worth of goods which Strong pawned his brother-in-law, A. R. Shat- tuck, put up $22,000, out of which I paid $5000 to Emanuel Friend, my attorney, and 38110 to pawnbrokers. Strong's stury that he paidiback anything is another le. *“l do not know until I get my mail whether 1 will go to France or not. I know he is there, but I do not want to have anything to do with him. I have suffered all this outrageous treatment to save his mother and my own. [ am anx- ious to get to Genoa, where I have tick- ets for a tiara, diamond heart and other things he pawned. 1 have no means whatever. 1 may land in Kamtchaka be- fore 1 get through. When she was shown a statement of Lord Hope's bankruptcy case, mention- ing that Hope's counsel disputed a note for £9157 given to her, Miss Yohe sald: “That's right; the money is due me ard Tll fight for it until I get it.” rand Duke Boris attended the show at t Orpheum last night and seemed to be favorably impressed with American vaudeville, May Yohe's proceedings since her ar- rival at Plymouth are an illustration of the woman’s indecision. The appearance of ome of her personal friends in Ply- mouth harbor sufficed for her to change her mind and detain the ship until she was the last passenger on the ten- der. Upon reaching Plymouth she de- cided to go to Suulhamp(u‘ and there take a boat for Cherbourg, the destina- tion of the steamer she had just left. Then as the train for Southampton was starting she again changed her mind and decided to come to London. On her way here from Plymouth Miss Yohe adopted an entirely new attitude of mind from that shown when she disembarked. Talk- ing to a representative of the Associated Press on the train she said: “You know the old Nancy Sykes story. The woman comes to court black and blue and then declares she will never prosecute her persecutor. I would for- give Bradlee to-morrow if he woull say he was sorry.” When told that Strong had said he had got the money from the sale of his M- brary, Miss Yohe laughed and remarked: “Well, he brought all his library to my house in an old steamer trunk, so it must have been valuable. He is the greatest lar I ever knew. No wonder he made a good officer—he does know how to ma=- neuver.”” Miss Yohe is stopping at the Great . Western Hotel, Paddington, to-night. She said she hoped to see her old counsel, Sir George Lewis, and to take the first train from Paris to Genoa.
