Many were in line who had known the President most of his life and their delight in renewing en old acquaintance was apparent, but none gave the President more pleasure than the greeting of two old family servarts, Maggle and Bridget Mitcheil, who had been servants in his father's family. They came from New York, where they now live, to greet the Presi- dent and to show him a photograph of his father and one of himself when he was four years old. The President was delighted to see the pictures and the old pervants, and presented the sisters to rs. Roosevelt. During the reception a number of bands ktationed on the lawn in front of the | porch discoursed music. “Garry Owen,” | “A Hot Time in the Old Town To-Night” | end “America” seemed to be the favor- ites, for they were repeated a number of times.

However, the Error Is a Small Matter, and Americans at Isthmus Are Protected. Special Dispatch to The Cail. CALL B['REAL'.F:\)G G STREET, )\'.“ W., WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.—Comman- der McLean, with the cruiser Cincinnati, arrived at Colon, Colombia, to-day, ac- | cozding to a telegram received from him at the Navy Department late this after- noon. Although no details of the situa- tion there were given in his message, it s thought he will at once land a party of bluejackets to prevent any move which | . the revolutionists may attempt to make | on the railrcad. The departure of the auxiliary cruiser Panther from the | League Island navy yard yvesterday was without orde and Secretary Moody will | make an inquiry to learn how the ln—} structions were misinterpreted. It was | led that the battalion of marines be assembled at League Isiand yard all ready to board the Panther and | start for Colon on Saturday, but that the Panther was to be held until the Navy Department should get a report of the ituation in Panama from Commander McLean of the Cincinnati. This report 10t yet been received, and it is stated that the Panther was ordered to eave when she did by the commandant of the League Island yvard, Rear Admiral Sands. No orders for her to leave were sent from Washington, but the incident is considered of no great importance. The | Panther would undoubtedly have sailed | for Colon anyway to-day or to-morrow. | Secretary Moody stated to-day that had | the Navy Department been able to com- municate with the Panther to-day she would not have been recalled. That the revolution in all of the eastern part of | Colombia has been suppressed is the | claim of the Colombian Government, | which has just captured one of the prin- cipal revolutionary leaders, General Car- | riazo. according to a telegram received | at the State Department to-day from | United States Minister Hart at Bogota. He says the Government of Colombia considered this capture of the utmost im- | portance, in that it puts an end to the | hostile operations of the large force which General Carriazo commanded on | the great plain to the eastward of Bo- gota. The Government, he says, has just anngunced that the revolutionist attack on Magdalen River was repulsed by a | Government gunboat. This, it is thought, removes obstacles to the transportation of troops from the capital to Colon. ENDS HER SUFFERINGS WITH A PISTOL BULLET Mrs, Tide Helen-Van Alen, Formerly | of Sonoma County, Commits Suicide at Ogden. | OGDEN, .Utah, Sept. 15.—Mrs. Tide Helen Van Alen, wife of William Van | Alen, manager of the Wasatch Orchard | Company, committed suicide in her apart- ments in the Reed Hotel this morning. | She was found dead in her bed with a bullet wound in her head and a pistoi | still_clutched in her right hand. Near | her lay a small Bible within which was a | letter addressed to - her mother, Mrs. | Price, Cozzens, Sonoma County, Califor- nia. She also left a letter for her sister, Miss Leila Richards, 1416 Hyde street, San Francisco. Despondency, the result of prolonged illpess, is said to be the cause of the sul- cide. Mr. and Mrs." Van Alen came here from California last May. Before that | time he was manager of a fruit cannery at Healdsburg. Before her marriage Mrs. Van Alen was Miss Tide Richards. Both she and her husband were well known in Sonoma County. In her will Mrs. Van Alen left $2000 to her mother and a vine- yard in California to her sister. A O ARCTIC EXPLORER PEARY IS ON HIS WAY HOME Sends Dispatch From Chateau Bay That Members of His Party Are Well. NEW YORK, Sept. 15.—Herbert L. Bridgeman, secretary of the Peary Arctic Club, recelved a dispatch to-day from Lieutenant R. E. Peary, the Arctic ex- jorer, dated Chateau Bay, Labrador. ieutenant Peary says that he is on his Way home on the relief ship Windward and that all on board are well.

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.—Nicholas ‘Fish, the banker, father of the late Hamilton Fish of the Rough Riders, who was killed in Cuba, was found to-night lying uncon- scious on the sidewalk in West Thirty- He was carried to the Roosevelt Hospital, where it was said he had sustained a fracture of the skull by falling on a stone step. At a late hour the banker’s condition was reported to be extremely grave. = re PHYSICIANS LOS' ANGELES, Sept: 16— . At 2:15 o’clock this morning Dr. Taggart issued the follow- ing bulletin: Senator Bard is sleepless and restless. There has been no improvement in his condition within the last hour. Temperature now 102; pulse 150. Dr. Taggart further stated that if the heart action could not be reduded be- fore 9 o’clock this morning there would be absolutely no ! Thope. o+ LOS ANGELES, Sept. 16— (1:30 a. m.).—United States Senator Bard’s condition has grown much worse. Oxygen treatment is being adminis- tered, and it is feared that he will not survive the night. His pulse is 150; temperature, 103; respiration, 36. | a5 e OS ANGELES, Sept. 15.—United States Senator Thomas R. Bard is lylng at the point of death in the Van Nuys Hotel, and upon the developments in his condition during the next twenty-four hours de- pend his chances for recovery. At the present, because of his advanced age, the odds are against him, and although his physicians declare that they hope to save his life, they admit that his condition is very serious and that there is more than a possibility of a fatal termination of his illness. Senator Bard is suffering from acute pneumonia, accompanied by marked ty- phoid symptoms, and it is the develop- ment of the latter into typhoid fever, which would combine pneumonia = with that malady, that is now greatly feared. Should the physicians be unable to arrest the tendency toward typhoid, they say, the condition of their patient would be almost hopeless and it is the development of typhoid that they are now fighting, It had been known since Friday that Senator Bard was indisposed, but not until to-day was the public informed of the serious nature of his illness. The acts were purposely suppressed so that is wife would not be alarmed until she could be summoned to his bedside. She arrived to-day and then it was announced t}mt the Senator was in a serlous condi- tion. SIGNS OF ILLNESS WEEKS AGO. Senator Bard was far from being well when he returned from the last session of Congress, but he believed his fliness was due to the trying experiences he had during the last few days of the session. He did not consult a physician then, but tried by simply resting to recover his health. It is now known that he was then on the verge of a serious attack of typhoid fever. About ten days ago United States Sen- ator Quarles of Wisconsin arrived here and became the guest of Senator Bard. In showing his guest the points of inter- est in this vicinity Senator Bard exerted himself greatly and last Tuesday the two Senators went to Santa Catalina Island, UNITED STATES SENATOR THOMAS R.

On the last day of their stay there Bard, while in a launch, exerted himself to such an extent that he suffered a violent chill. When he went ashore he was Ver{ sick and he then returned to Los Angeles. FAMILY IS SUMMONED. Senator Bard took to his bed on Friday night, but it was not until Sunday morn- ing that his condition became such as to excite alarm. His temperature on Sun- day was 105 and his pulse was above 140. Dr. Taggert, his family physician, called into consultation Drs. Cole and Sey- mour, and at the request of the patient the fact of his serfous illness was not made public, but his family was sum- moned and his wife was told that her .*+H‘!"'H’H"4‘H’PH"H+HJ++H~H+HH4-H—H+H%.H-H.,. ARISTD DISPLAYS HIS HigH GLASS Occident Winner Adds Stanford Stake to His Credit. Special Dispatch to The Call. SACRAMENTO, Sept. 15.—With the Oc- cident trotting stake already to his credit, the great three-year-old colt Aristo made kis field look dirt cheap in the Stanford stake, carrying a gross valuation of $1060, at Agricultural Park this afternoon. That he is possessed of rare equine intelligence goes without saying. Mixed up in a colli- sion at the track in the forenoon, with his driver thrown from his bike, the three- year-old started on a runaway career, but after going a half-mile pulled up and Jjogged back to the scene of the accident. In the auction betting the field brought 5 against 20 for Aristo. Of the original seven carded to start Cuate and Flora Russell were absentees. Although Walter Maben's clever filly Zombowyette put in three spanking good heats it was prac- tically no contest. On each occasion when the word was given Spencer, behind the favorite, went right out in the lead, and with no semblance of a skip or hop the grand youngster won in three straight Leats, with seconds to spare. Zombow- yette was second on each occasion. Lar- kin W and Harry B saw the red bunting flashed in their faces on the first heat. Gertle H, driven by McGregor, earned the small end of the purse. The attendance was large and there was nc paucity of coin in the ring, but the bookmakers failed to salt much of it away. Aside from the win of the 7 to 1 outsider Skip Me, with “Doc” Tuberville up, which gave the books a good break, the victories of the pronounced favorites Polonius, Parizade and Goldone were ex- ceedingly expensive. A heavy land fog prevented a clear view of the last three races. B's VICTORY. MONROE Looking through the Lick telescope no- body_could pick Monroe B as a winner of the 2:17 pace—that is, . before the five starters were called. The gelding is used as a roadster by F. Ruhstaller Jr., and while right up on edge, and gilt-edge at that, sold in the fiel In the first pools Silver Coin, which let the talent down last week, brought 10, Peggy 7 and the field 2. In the first heat Durfee, holding the reins over the favorite, wiggied in an easy first over Smuggler, and when in the fellowing heat he downed Peggy in quite an easy fashion it looked all over. But in the third heat Monroe B, handled by Wal- ter Tryou, paced over the top of Silver Coin through the stretch, and there was a terrific slump in the first choice's stock. Silver Coin appeared pumped out, and in the fourth and fifth heats Monroe B came home at leisure, thus concluding the les- son. 3 Eleven cheap platers were turned over to the care of “Bill” Fieldwick in the six- furlong sprint first decided. Alms Giver, plioted by J. Ransch, had his odds ham- mered down from 6 to 5 to 7 to 10, and finished third. Skip Me took the lead from Tompion when straightened away for the stand and in a hard drive downed The Hoodoo a head. POLONIUS A GOOD ONE. Polonius, one of the Burns & Water- wouse . Futurity candidates, fresh from his Eastern trip, made his appearance in | the maiden scramble for two-year-olds. In the Eastern.country the colt showed to no advantage because of sickness, but he ran away from his company to-day. Backed to 2'to 5 favoritism, he won run- ning away from Orosius and was worked on a full three-quarters. To To, a rangy chestnut colt carrying the colors of Theo- dore Winters, finished third, and ought to_win shortly. The bookies rooted hard to beat Pari- zade, but Tommy Walker got her over the line two lengths in advance of Myth- rox and Kickumbob. The odds about the mare were gradually played down from 83 to 2 to 1 to 2, and after outstaying Mythrox she scored without much effort, Toriblo carrled a deal of coin at odds of: 2%2 and 3, but Sullivan managed to get the gelding away poorly. There was a tiresome delay at the post in the concluding mile selling run, for which Goldone closed a 9 to 10 choice. Walker had the leg up on Coffey’s horse r.d kept him in front from start to finish. Goldone won_ridden out a long neck in advance of Windward. Tullett, astride Golden Light, earned show honors. The long delay blighted the chances of Mamie Hildreth, second choice in the betting. TO-DAY’S ENTRIES.

The physiclans succeeded in reducing the fever, but they could not reduce the pulse. There were remedies which they might have administered for that pur- pose, but Senator Bard was so weak that these were not considered safe. This. morning the fever had been re- duced_ but the physiclans admitted that they did not like the condition of their patient and that the chances were against his recovery. PHYSICIAN’S STATEMENT. Dr. Taggert said to-night: Bard is an extremely sick man and at present he is far below the danger point. I believe we will be able to pull him through, but at present it is doubtful. His temperature to-day was between 102 and 104 ‘and his pulse 1388. The chill he had while fishing was the first symptom of pneumonia and now there is acute in- flammation of the lungs. The most seri- ous thing about the whole matter is the | presence of typhoid symptoms, and that is what we most fear, for they are very marked. Of course we hope for the best, but, candidly sfeaking‘ the chances ‘at present are against his recovery. Much will depend upon the developments within the next twenty-four hours, but at pres- ent I cannot safely predict’ what the re- sult will be.” Despite his high fever, Senator Bard'sl mind s clear and he converses freely Wwith those about him. Realizing his con- dition he made his will to-day. Its con- tents, of course, were not made public. SEVERE SINKING SPELL. LOS ANGELES, Sept. 16.—(1:15 a. m.)— Senator Bard suffered a severe sinking spell just at midnight and for a time it could not be determined whether he was alive. The cause of it was the failure of his heart, which had been pulsing at between 140 and 160 all night.

A l4-year-old son witnessed the beginning of the trouble, but ran scream- ing from the house before his father had ended his life. The death of Mrs. Young is momentar- ily expected. She received two bullet wounds in the back. Her husband also albdomen and the other piercing the heart, According to the story told by Mrs. Ycung she came here about a year ago from Colgrado. She possessed consider- able money, and after investing $3000 in cattle placed $1300 to her credit in a locai bank. She was accompanied by her four children, and had only established herself made his appearance from Colorado. | couple had not lived happily, and their troubles were renewed upon his arrival She asserted that her husband had killed ree men in Colorado and for one of the ffenses was sentenced to a term in the penitentiary, but through some flaw in his trial obtained his release after a month’s imprisonment. She said her hus- band was a mining man and once had a fortune, but squandered it at cards. When ke followed her to Sacramento he up- braided her for withholding her money from him, and a peace was patched up, under the terms of which he assumed charge of the cattle and managed a slaughter-house which she established at Sutterville, a few miles south of the city. But the pair did not get along. He in- | sisted upon obtaining control of her prop- erty and prepared a paper which he de- manded that she should sign transferring to him the $1500 she had in bank. She declined and a stormy scene ensued. The | police were called in to save the woman from her husband’s wrath. The breach continued to widen, and a week ago to-day she filed a suit for di- vorce, alleging extreme cruelty. It believed that the object of his visit to the house to-day was to repeat his demand tiat she give him money, and that when | she declined to treat with him he shot ker and then killed himself. When his body was searched his wife's photograph was found next to his heart. The surgeons who were summoned ex- pressl the belfef that Mrs. Young cannot survive. e Lord Hope Pays Off His Creditors.

At 1 o’clock this morn- ing Dr. Taggart said: “Senator Bard may not live until morn- ing and again he may ultimately recover, but the chances are against him. The one point in his favor and the one upon which we are hanging all our hopes is the fact that he was never a dissipated | man. His rugged constitution is also in | his favor, but with well developed typhoid symptoms, acute pneumonia and a weak heart his condition is about as critical as it well can be.

Sbarboro, chairman of the committee. There were present: N. P. Chipman of the State Board of Trade, Frank J. Symmes of the Merchants’ As- P. Jennings of the Chamber of Commerce, E. O. McCormick, passenger traffic manager of the Southern Pacific; T. H. Goodman, general passen- ger agent of the same corporation; A. D. Cutler, Pension Agent J. B. Fuller, Gen~ eral R. H. Warfleld, Colonel W. R. Smed-~ berg, T. K. Stateler of the Northern Pa- cific, Colonel George Stone and T. C. Friedlander of the Merchants’ Exchange, who acted as secretary of the meeting. WILL SEND COMMITTEE. After the call to order A. D. Cutler ad- dressed the gathering upon the object of the meeting. He sald that it was pro- posed by the Grand Army men of the city to secure the next National Encampment of the Grand Army for San Francisco. It was intended to send a committee of some thirty Grand Army veterans and business men to Washington and make an effort o secure the encampment. The members of the committee would pay their own ex- penses, but theré were bills to be met of a general character, such as for printing, headquarters, etc., for which funds would have to be raised. The Mayor and Board of Supervisors had already invited the en- campment and the invitations would be resented to the National Encampment at e“asmngwn. He thought the encampment ‘would be of great benefit to the city and that no efforts should be spared to se- cure it. General Warfield told of the means adopted to secure the encampment in 1385, A committee was sent to Pertland, Me., and plenty of money was spent among the veterans for their entertainment, the re- sult being that San Francisco was select~ ed for holding the next encampment. The affair vas a great success and the city enjoyed immense benefits therefrom. Colonel Smedberg said that about $40,000 would be required to give the veterans suitable entértainment. Of that sum the Legislature would appropriate at least $25,000. He did not think much difficulty Would be experfenced in raisins the bai- ance. ‘WILL BENEFIT THE CITY. Passenger Traffic Manager McCormick of the Southern Pacific said the holding of the encampment here would be of ad- vantage to the city, as it would advertise our greatness to the world. This was an ideal summer resort and was so regarded by Eastern people. If the encampment was wanted the committee would have to spend money to_secure it. Many Eastern cities, notably Cincinnati, had a standing committee whose sole business was to se- cure conventions for that ecity. He made the assurance that the Southern Pacific would offer such low rates as would in- sure a large congregation of visitors from the East. This meant the spending of money and a consequent advertising of the resources of the State, which could not fail to be of advantage to this city and the State. A discussion followed in which Colonel Stone, T. H. Goodman, Manager Filcher of the State Board of Trade, Sbarbaro and J. B. Fuller took part. T entiment was in favor of raising funds for defray- ing the expenses of the committee to Washington, and on motion of Colonel Smedberg a resolution was adopted de- claring it to be the sense of the meeting that a committee should be sent to Wash- ington. The presidents of the various commercial bodies agreed to call meetings of their boards without loss of time and appropriate various sums, so that $1000, which is required, may be raised immedi- ately. e ———— SANTA BARBARA, Sent 15.—Warrants were fssued this afternoon for the arrest of Harry Butler, a confectioner, who left sud- denly a few days azo, leaving debts amount- Ing to between $5000 and $6000.
