Spectal Dispatch to The Call. SAN RAFAEL, Sept. 15.—Two murder- ers awaiting death in San Quentin prison are said to be insane, and efforts are be- ing made to save them from the gallows. Frank Haynes, alias Miller, who mur- dered Jerry Harris in San Quentin in April and who is sentenced to be hanged in Folsom prison on Friday, September 26, is one of the unfortunates. Miller was tried and convicted in the Superior Court | of this county. He refused to plead or | to permit counsel to represent him and | during the trial-refused to offer any tes- timony in his own behalf. Judge F. M. Angellotti, before whom the case pro- ceeded, had the accused man examined by physiclans for insanity, but they ad- | Judged him competent. Therefore he was sentenced to pay the death penalty. But \ from facts recently learned and from the actions of the condemned man at Folsom Judge Angellotti is now of | the opinion that he may be insane. To- | morrow the Judge will appeal to Gov- | ernor Gage for a respite of sixty days, so that Drs. Hatch and Jones of the State | Lunacy Commission may pass upon Haynes’ competency. | Unless the State Lunacy Commission acts or the Supreme Court of California decides to issue a writ of supersedeas, Al | Mundarez wjll hang at San Quentin on Friday. Walden Aguirre claims that the condemned man is insane, and for that reason has insisted upon the Lunacy Commission “actipg immediately, so that he will not be compelled to execute a mentally deranged person. Mundarez, an Indian, killed a fellow | tribesman in San Diego about two years ago. He was convicted and sentenced by Judge Torrance to be hanged. Since be- ing incarcerated in San Quentin the pris- | oner has evinced marked signs of mental | derangement. A saber wound about five | inches long on the Indlan’s head, it is presumed, caused insanity. Warden Aguirre said to-day: | "I do not want to hang a crazy man, | but unless the Supreme Court acts or | the Lunacy Commission interferes I shall | be compelled to execute Mundarez on Fri- day. I believe there is no doubt that he s insane and hope the commission will djudge him so.” -~ MEXICO EXCURSION. A Trip to the Aztec Country, Octo- | ber 1.

TWO INSANE MEN FACTIONAL FEUD AWAITING DEATH' RENDG A CHURCH Pastor Smale of Los Angeles Asks for Investigation. Charges That Certain Mem- bers Are Fomenting Discord. Special Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, Sept. 15.—The congre- gation of the First Baptist Church, the largest of that denomination in this part of the country, will determine at a meet- ing to be held on Wednesday evening whether it shall continue to keep Rev. Joseph Smale as its pastor. The subject the congregation will investigate is the statement of the pastor that certain mem- bers of the church who have opposed him from the start have been fomenting dis- cord and that under the circumstances he wants to know whether his services are still desired. The affair has become one of the greatest church serisations in Los Angeles in years owing to the prominence of the pastor and the fact that the con- gregation numbers an actual membership of more than 1200. It is known that there is much more behind the surface than appears in the formal question to be investigated at the meeting of the con- gregation, but it is doubtful if any other subject will be presented at the meeting. Already there is talk of forming another (‘ongrgsallon, no matter what the result may be. Rev. Mr. Smale’s marriage is belleved to have something to do with the pres- ent trouble. He has been in charge of the church for about five years. He succeed- ed Rev. Dr. Reed, one of the most loved ministers of the gospel who ever preached here, Two yvears or more ago Rev. Mr. Smaie married Miss Keyser, a prominent church worker, but for some time neither she nor her parents have lived in Los Angeles. Rev. Mr. Smale is much inter- ested in his church work and has de- clared that for a man in his position church work came before every other duty. There are those in the congrega- tion who opposed his marriage and who are supposed to have made their opinions the basis for their present antagonism to the pastor. At ?1Drecen( church meeting, on a ques- tion of retaining him as pastor, 260 voted for him and 108 against him. Rev. Mr. Smale says all sorts of charges have been made against him, but he does not say what they are. e —— Artists’ Materials.

Two Hundred Thousand Dol- lar Loss by Fire in Stockton. STOCKTON, Sept. 15.—The coal bunkers and briquette factory of what is known as the Tesla Coal Company were birned to-night, entailing a loss of about $200,000. The fire was discovered at 11 o'clock is- suing from the coal bunkers, and by the &ime the alarm was turned in the whole city was lighted by the flames. The fire soon communicated to the briguette fac- tory, and the immense buildings, with the great quantity of coal stored, pro- duced such intense heat as to completel block the efforts of the firemen to chec it. Fortunately the night was still and the efforts of the men were turned to the preservation of the oil refinery and the grain warehouses, situated in dangerous proximity. It was a difficult task to save the refinery, as the heat of the burning coal did not admit of a near approach by the firemen, but for an hour or more the men worked incessantly and the re- fining plant was saved. The coal bunkers contained 500 tons of coal and the buildings and contents, as well as the briguette plant with its ex- pensive machinery, were adjuncts of the Alameda and San Joaquin Rallroad Com- pany, which has promoted so many in- dustries for Stockton .and the tributary districts of the Coast range of mountains. The coal bunkers stood on the banks of Stockton channel, just outside of the city limits, and were constructed several years ago. The briquette factory began opera- tions about a year ago and found markets for its production all along the coast. It was the only plant for manufacturing coal briquettes in the country. When in full operation fifty men were employed, but only twenty-five will be turned out of employment by the burning of the fac- tory, unless the oll refinery, which was an adjunct, be closed, H. H. Griffiths, the local manager of the Tesla Company, estimates the total loss at $200,000 and says it is_well covered-by insurance, but was unable to state the amount to-night. He laf's that both the bunkers and_ factory will be rebuilt. It is noted as a pecullar coincidence that the briquette factory should ‘have burned down the very day that the win- dow glass factory, founded by the same company, began operations. @ iriisivivivivieivivierinieeiiieieiie @ BEVERIDGE TALKS ELOQUENTLY, iyt s Continued From Page 3, Column 7.

Is it better for the Filipino himself that we should leave him to his fate and call that fate liberty, or that we should take him by the hand, clothe him with American progress and make him a part of the twentleth century’s en- lightening advance? N Where will the Pacific Coast settle its sur- plus? And your unsold surplus means your commerce paralyzed, your laboring men starv- ing. If Hawall and Porto Rico, who bought everything they consumed from other countries, now buy everything they consume from us, why will not the Philippines do the same? Already our commerce there, not including supplies of our army, have in'two years increased five thousand per cent in spite of war. The $30,- 000,000 which the Philippines bought annually from other countries will in five years be sold to them by American factories and farms: and the Pacific slope will furnish it. And If the Philippines, prostrate, oppressed, neglected, still bought $30,000,000 of foreign goods, en- erated, Americanized Philippines _will buy $150,000,000 worth of American goods. Itie Philippines are the center of a market which now buys altogether two blllion dollars’ worth of forelgn merchandise. These are tropic countries.

You must have factories-as diversified as your Tesources, as many and as vigorous as the al- ents and energies of your citizens. The more complex your activities, the safer your pros- perity and the higher your happiness. And yet the opposition to the Government de- mands that the central islands and the ocean empire which gave you the mastery of the Pacific and command of the markets of the Bast shall be handed over to the republic's commercial rivals.

PORTLAND, Sept. 15.—The statement was to-day given out from the office of President Mohler of the Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company that the com- pany contemplated withdrawing its San Francisco steamers next week. No rea- son for this step was glven, save that unsettled conditions had moved the com- paiy to consider the discontinuance of the ocean steamship line. No decision had been reached, it is said, and it could not be ascertained whether the action, if taken, would be permanent or only tem- porary. The Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company has always represented that its water lines were maintained at a loss. It now sap that the line of steamships be- tween Portland and San Francisco has been operated in order that Portland might have as favorable shipping rates from San Francisco as the Puget Sound citles have. Certain commodities are handled by water at materially lower rates than by rall and the water differ- ential has been quite a factor in the in- terior trade of the Pacific Northwest. If the steamships between Portland and San Francisco be withdrawn, it is said, Puget Sound will hold an advantage for supply- ing the interior country, unless there shall be a modification of the present freight rates by rail. The vessels belonging to the line are the Columbia and Elder. The former sailed to-night in regular order for San Francisco. Since the Union Pacific, under the dom- ination of Mr. Harriman, obtalned control of the Southern Pacific, there has not been the same incentive to operation of the Portland-San Francisco steamship line that formerly existed.

Plant of the Big Four in West Virginia Is the Scene of Disaster. Imprisoned Men Are Cut Of From All Air and Perish Before Res- cuers Are Able to Reach Them. —_— NORFOLK, W. Va., Sept. 15.—A gas and powder explosion occurred here to- day In the Big Four mine of the Algoma Coal and Coke Company, as the result of which James Lester, an engineer; John Relckie, a Hungarian miner, and fifteen colored miners are known to have met death in the mine. There was no chance of the men being rescued, as they were | beyond ‘the point where the explosion oc- eurred. The gas and smoke was so thick that all rescuing parties were driven back. H. F. Frankenfield, a mine boss, and George Gasple, a Hungarian miner, succeeded In crawling over the fallen coal and slate after the explosion to the lights of the rescuing party and were taken out alive, although badly burned and nearly suf- focated by gas. The explosion Is said to have been | caused by an accumulation of gas catch- ing on fire from the lamp of a miner, and this in turn fired six kegs of blasting 1Evlf“wde!' that had beeh stored back in the ne. The explosion knocked down all the brattices for a quarter of a mile back to- ward the mine entrance, thus cutting off all of the air from the men imprisoned behind the debris. The last of the seventeen miners killed by the explosion of the Algoma mine was brought out of the mine at 11 o'clock to- night. Several of the rescuers were over- come by the gas and brought out uncon- sclous before the bodies could be reached. The names of the dead cannot be given | to-night.

Men and | women stood on their feet and waved hats, flags and handkerchlefs as a tri- bute to his powers as an orator and statesman. Senator Beveridge was wea- | ried by his great effort, but the signs of approval were refreshing to him. On every hand could be heard words of ap- proval. ‘Men who have listened to the great orators of the State and country were quick to award to Beveridge the laurels he deserves as a public speaker. The audlence started to leave, when Chairman Perkins appealed to the dise persing crowds to wait and pay a tribute to the late President. Instantly the dis- solving of the gathering. was checked. People stood by their seats and gave heed fo Senator Perkins as he delivered the following address: Fellow Citizens: Yesterday was the anni- versary of the death of our beloved and la- mented President, Willlam McKinley.

Mrs. James Arthur, Spo- kane, Wash., a lady almost helpless from cruel rheumatism and terrible neuralgia, and cured by Paine’s Celery Compqund, writes' thus: “I have suffered for three years with neuralgia and rheumatism, and tried many different remedies, which would give me only temporary rellef. From last January and through the spring months I suffered terribly. I could walk but a short distance and some days not at all. I used Paine’s Celery Compound and have not been troubled since. Before using the Compound my knees were so bad I could not get down or up, but now I can walk a mile or more every day, with no stiffness or lameress in the joints.” BRIDGE WORK Made for the Cost of Material, at DENTAL CLINIC, Gold crowns and artificial teeth at cost.
