THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1902. dINKS FORTUNE URGANIZE UNION IN THE GROUND| WITH EMPLOYERS Mining Ventures Absorb Felix Chappellet’s Wealth, Pathetically Acknowledges in Will That He Dies a Ruined Man, Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Sept. 23. After having accumulated and lost sev- eral large fortunes, the late Felix Chap- peliet, .the pioneer mining man who for forty years was prominently identified with California’s mineral industry, died & poor man. His fortunes dug from the ground went back into it. His will, which was filed to-day with the County Clerk for probate, brings to light heavy transactions in mines which swept away the remnants of a once large fortune. Nearly 100,000 shares of worth- less mining stock are entered in the in- yentory of the estate. The will, which particularly refers to in mining ventures, leaves the remnant of the aged miner's former wealth to the widow in the following lan- guage: I devise to my beloved wife, Melvia Chap- pellet, all my interest in any mine, COrpora- tion or cil company, in fact all my real estate or personal property. This 1 Go because un- fortunate circumstances have made me lose most of my fortune, and now that my beloved children are married and are able to care for themselves I consider that the little 1 have saved should go to my beloved wife, who enyhow, is owner of half of what I have, The will was written a year ago when the deceased was in_ his seventy-third year. He had provided liberally for three daughters at the time of their marriages. The estate consists of the family home on Telegraph avenue, Oakland, and a few minor personal effects, aggregating in value t $9000. Melvia Chappellet, and her Felix Chappellet Jr., are named as executrix and executor, but the widow bas renounced her right to act in favor of the son, who is now engaged in mining in one of the northern counties.

SARATOGA, Sept. 23.—It has developed that Governor ~Odell to-day requested George R. Sheldon to withdraw from the race for the nomination for second place on the ticket. The Governor gave as a reason that he was of the opinion that Sheldon’s candidacy would jepoardize the success of the whole ticket. The Governor added that he had selected Sheldon for the place and was his close personal friend, but had reached the conclusion that it was best Sheldon should retire. Sheldon consulted with Senator Platt, and, having the Senator's support,” in< formed the Governor he would not comply with the request. Governor Odell then sent to Senator Platt and asked him to use his influence to get Sheldon to retire. Platt announced that he would not make the request, and that Sheldon was in to stay. In the meantime the Kings County delegation, | headed by Lieutenant Governor Woodruff, ‘had had hints of Governor Odell’s re- quest, and_immediately resumed its at- | tack upon Sheldon. Shortly after the ad- journment of the convention in the after= noon Woodruff made this statement: “I have no personal animosity against Mr. Sheldon. I believe that the objections that have been raised to him are of the gravest sort and that they jeopardize the State ticket. I have no personal ambi- {tion. I am not and will not be a can- | didate. I am interested in the success of the State ticket alone, irrespective of in- dividuals. I am the unit voter for the largest county in the State, next to New York County. I belleve that Kings County should have some say in nominating a ticket.” ‘When shown the statement.of the Lieu- tenant Governor Senator Platt said: “‘Perhaps we can give Mr. Woodruff a little lesson in politics as well as in good manners. Why should the leader of any one delegation be offended because a man desires to be a candidate? Is Kings County to control the situation? Mr. Sheldon is a candidate and is not with- drawn at all. Tell Mr. Woodruff that for me. Woodruff could have many things. He has had them. He has been refused some lately and it is {1l advised of him to seek to make trouble. His con- cern for the party is very touching, but there are others of larger experience who are equally interested and more capable of Jjudging.” When the news of this trouble between the leaders became public in its entirety the previous apathetic attitude of the rank and file of the delegates to the State convention changed to one of the liveliest interest. By 6 o’clock in the evening Gov- | ernor Odell was being urged by his per- sonal friends to come to Saratoga and settle the controversy, but to_this request he at first answered that he had signified what his wishes in the matter were and that the convention could work out the situation itself. His esteem and regard for Sheldon was as great as ever, but because of certain revelations he had become convinced that Sheldon could not help and would only hurt the ticket. Governor Odell reached here at 9:20 o'clock. It was suggested to him that he go at once to the Orange County head- quarters, but he replied: “No, I will go at once to Senator Platt.” Arriving at the United States House, followed by a score of Interested pol- iticians, the Governor was applauded. He passed on to Senator Platt’s cottage, a procession following him. As soon as he was inside the cottage the shades were pulled down, the door closed and instruc- tions given that no_one was to disturb the two leaders. Numerous politicians were sent for and came and went while the impatience of the crowd outside in- Chairman Dunn came out and went toward Sheldon’s cottage, and right be- | hind him came the Governor. His face wore a serious look. He went to the Orange County headquarters and was fol- lowed by many Interested persons. He said nothing to anybody and soon en- tered a room off the reception-room. At 12 o'clock Governor Odell, accompanied by Mr. Black and Senator Ellsworth, ame out. Each again entered Mr. Platt’s fxcuage, where they remained for some me. — SHELDON STEPS DOWN. Aspirant for the Lieutenant Gov- ernorship Out .of the Race. SARATOGA, Sept. 24.—Senator Platt, Governor Odell and George B. Sheldon were in conference for a period of two hours. At 2 o'clock Governor Odell left the room and announced that Sheldon had withdrawn from the contest. At this late hour the indications are that Senator Frank A. Higgins of Cattaraugus will be the nominee for Lieutenant Governor, The announcement of the withdrawal of Sheldon from the contest was greeted with hearty cheers by a crowd of nearly 300 delegates who had waited anxiously for the conclusion of the conference between the leaders. Governor Odell stated after the conference that the discussion throughout had been of a most pleasant character. He said that after the situation had been considered with several of the lead- ers Senator Platt.and Sheldon retired to a rear room and discussed the matter. Shel- don was finally convinced that it was to the best interests of theparty . that e withdraw, owing to the fact that nu- | merous stories current, whether true or not, would prove disadvantageous to the | best interests of the party. Governor Odell was very tired and retired at once, | announcing that he would stay in Sara- toga until Wednesday morning. Later Sheldon gave out the following letter: “Hon. Thomas C. Platt—My Dear Sir: I became a candidate for Lieutenant Gov- ernor on the Republican State ticket at the request of the leaders of the party. It was with great reluctance that I con- sented to leave my private affairs for public office and the position which I have always enjoyed as a worker in the ranks. but since my candidacy was announced here there have been attdcks made-upon my business which, while admitting it to be honorable, claim that it can be mis- represented, and that my candidacy would be an injury to the ticket, 1 entered this canvass unselfishly, in the belief that I might be of benefit to a par- ty of which I have been always an ardent supporter and to lifelong friends, but I am unwilling to remain for an hour in the field if there is a doubt anywhere in our own household. “Thanking you, my dear sir, for your cordial support and other evidences of a friendship of many years, which I value more than any office, I beg that you will permit me to decline any further consid- eration of my name before this conven- tion.

THIEF AUNG OFF WITH SILK GLOTH Has Bolt Sent C. O. D, to Lick House and Flees With It. Sends Driver Downstairs to Cashier and Hurriedly Departs. A cute thief swooped down upon the town yesterday afternoon and, by a clever bit of manipulation, succeeded in de- frauding the Emporium out of a bolt of silk valued at, approximately, $190. J. J. Murray is his name—at least so he told the clerk at the Lick House. He came to town Monday night and with a small hand satchel, brought up at the Lick, where he engaged a room on the third floor. While being shown to his apart- ments he inquired of the bellboy as to whether or not there were any entrances to the hotel other than the Montgomery- street door. The unsuspecting boy re- plied that there was Bnothgr, via Butter street. For this informatio; Murm}r was duly thankful and, with a deft swish of his overcoat skirts, scampered off to his room. i Yesterday morning, bright and early, he wandered up Market street and dropped into the Emporium. Approaching the head floorwaiker he asked to be shown to the silk department and there, after carefully inspecting several bolts of ex- pensive silk, directed that one of these be sent C. O. D. to his hotel.. When the goods were presented to the hotel clerk for payment they were refused, Clerl Frye telling the driver that Murray had no money on deposit and furthermore, if he had, it_would be first necessary to secure an order for the payment of such a large bill. The driver si ested that he go to Murray’s room, which he did, and finding him in asked payment for the bol 1t. “Why, my dear old chap,” said Murray, awakemnfi out of a peaceful doze and drawing himself full length before the driver, “there must some mistake. Here, you take this note down to the desk and get your money,” and with this Murray handed the driver a note which he had hastily scribbled, directing the clerk to pay the amount. The guileless driver started off post-haste down the stairs for the cashier’'s desk, leaving the bolt of silk in Murray’s room. When he returned a few moments' later, unable to collect at the desk, he found Murray and the silk had disappeared. No trace of the thief has yet been found. COLLAMARINI VERY FUNNY AS DON BASILIO Collamarini, with a make-up between Svengali’'s and that of the Flying Dutch- man, gave a Don Basilio in “Il Barbiere” last night at the Tivoli that was the most victoriously funny performance ever seen within its gates. It is useless to wonder what Maestro Rossini would have sald about it—though it is by no means the first time that the part has been done by a contralto; useless also to wonder how much the humor of the thing gained from its being the fa- vorite Carmen who assumed the role. The point is that Collamarini was legitimately funny, that her acting was of the t buffa character, and that ber picture’ of the shovel-hatted, pudgy pedant was ir- resistibly iudicrous. Those who haye seen Collamarini’'s Azu- cena and La Cfeca have discovered for themselves that vanity is not a weakness with the fair Carmen; last night's get- up proves it conclusively as well as the fact that Collamarini is one of the most useful and versatile singers on the Tivoli list. The performance of the sprightly opera was gay and spirited throughout, rather too lively for the artistic good of the opera. Still, the Collamarini appearance would suffice to account for the unusual excitement in an opera in which the singers always take and are allowed much license. D’'Albore, a very good Figaro, was another surprise, giving his “Largo al Factotum” with a happy brag- gadocio that suited its best need. Russo was warmly welcomed as Almaviva and sang delightfully, acting with his usual fun and fire. Paoli did his best work of the season as Bartolo. Tina de Spada was a girlish and pretty Rosina, earning an encore of might in the famous “‘singing lesson,” re- sponding to the second demand with “The Last Rose of Summer” in quaint English. Anna Wilson was natural, ef- fective and excellently made up as Berta. “Faust” goes to-night. —_—— TO SELL ART COLLECTION OF LATE GENERAL BARNES Prominent Citizens to Officiate as Auctioneers at Disposal of Valuable Effects.

DERBY, - Conn.,, Sept. 23—William Hooper Young, the alleged murderer of Mrs. Ahnie Pulitzer in New York, left here this morning in custody of New York detectives. His departure was witnessed by several hundred persons at the rail- road station, but he paid no attention to the curiosity of the spectators, He looked fresh and much better than yesterday when he went through the trying ordeal of identification. The prisoner made no objection to his removal to New York. ‘Willlam F. Hart of New York, who has n retained as counsel for Young, ar- rived here early to-day. He immediately went to the jail and talked with Young i for an hour or more. At the close of the { interview Hart said: “1f this man is sane, if he is all right, I do not know what to think. His story is more like that of a madman. It is simply wonderful.. I want to have him examined by an expert in insanity before His motive was not revenge.” EW YORK, Sept. 2.—The train from Derby, Conn., with William Hooper Young on board arrived at the Grand Central station at $:20 a. m. There was a crowd I | of 400 or 500 at the station when the train came in. The crowd was orderly and no demonstration against Young was maae. Young was led to a closed carriage and accompanied by Detective Sergeants Hughes and Findlay and Hart, the pris- j oner's counsel, who came down Irom Derby with the party, was driven to police headquarters. The prisoner, handcuffed to Findlay, was led through a large crowd that had gathered to see him. He plainly was in a condition bordering on collapse when 1:d up the steps into headquarters. Shortly after Young had been taxen into the detective headquarters. Lawyer Hart | appeared and sald in reply to inquiries: | “Young is an innocent man. The police believe they have got him on an alleged | confession, which he made before he had legal counsel. It will be proven that Young was not even an accomplice.” At the close of the interview between ! De%ectlve Captain Titus and Young Cap- tain Titus said Young had made the fol- d lowing statement: About three weeks ago I met a man named Charles Simpson Elling in Central Park. He accosted me. - We talked and got acquainted, though he was a degenerate. After that he called on me several times at my flat. On the night Mrs. Pulitzer died Eiling and I met her at Broadway and Forty-sixth street by appoint- ment. We went to the flat together. I went out for some whisky after we got there and lett Eiling and the woman alone. When I got back. I found Mrs. Pulitzer lying across the bed with a gag in her mouth. Eiling had gone. 1 ripped open her clothing and moved her hands back and forth to induce respiration. ‘When she did not breathe I put my hand under her waist and felt her heart. It was not beat- ing. Then I decided to notify the police, but thought that instead of calling a policeman to 80 to police headquarters, which I thought was in the Clty Hall. I got on a train and started down town and then I got to thinking what a lot of disgrace the affair would bring upon me and my father. That made me decide to get rid of the body. I took a long knife and cut into the body, intending to cut the body up so 1 could get it into a trunk. When I made the | first cut the odor was so awful that I could go no_further. Captain Titus said the prisoner de- scribed Eiling as being a_man about 23 years old, smooth face, five feet seven inches in' helght, with a ‘‘bright, clear look in his eyes, pale face and wearing dark clothes, with a straw hat, when last seen.” ‘When Captain Titus had finished speak- ing Assistant District Attorney Garvan sald: “‘Captain Titus has sald that this man made practically the same statement to his counsel. That {s not so. The captain is mistaken. We don’t know what he told his counsel.” Captain Titus then said: ‘‘That is all of He volunteered the statement he made. Knowing that his rights are 21l of that. being protected, we cannot question him now."” Captain Titus said that Young had not explained how the woman came by the ‘wounds on her head. Young was arraigned on an affidavit made by Detective Sergeant Hughes and the hearing was set for September 30. The proceedings were brief and without any unusual incident. Young was then placed in the hospital ward of the Tombs and Dr. Campbell, the Tombs physician, after closely observing the prisoner for three hours, by direction of the District filtorney, said he had no signs of insan- Y. Captain Titus to-day sald that Young had sold Mrs. Pulitzer's diamonds for $550 to a person for whom the detectives were looking. The captain sald that a search would be made for the ‘‘Charles Simpson Eiling” named by Young. PRISONER MUST SUFFER FOR HIS ATTORNEY’S JOKE Relenting Complainant Decides to Prosecute When Counsel Twits Her Concerning Her Age. Henry Hartz, a young man, was con- victed by Judge Conlan yesterday on two icharges of petty larceny and was sen- tenced to serve one year's imprisonment in the County Jail. If it had not been for a faux pas made by his attorney it is probable that he would have escaped punishment on one of the charges. Hartz was accused of breaking open a trunk belonging to Viola le Page, an actress in the Midway Plaisance, on Sep- tember 9 and stealing a gold watch. The charge against him was burglary. When Miss le Page took the stand she said she had no desire to prosecute the case be- cause of the young man's mother, who would suffer if he went to jail. “You and his mother,” said Attorney Martin_Quinlan, insinuztingly, ‘“‘were on the stage together over twenty years ago, were you not?” ‘ “I was nothing of the kind,” retorted the witness, as her face flushed with an- ger. ‘‘How old do you think I am?"” She was so_angry that she agreed to give her testimony, but later asked the Judge to reduce -the charge to petty larceny. : - The other charge against the defendant was grand larceny for stealing a gold watch from Louis P. Terhune, a member of the Nineteenth Infantry, on Septem- ber 19. With the consent of the com- {)lnlnant the charge was reduced to petty. arceny. —————— Licensed to Marry.

Markle & Co. went to J. P. Morgan’s office and had a long conference with Morgan. He refused to say what the nature of his business had been.

Regnrding the situation in the anthra- cite fields President Baer said that every day showed a larger proportion of strik- ing miners returning to work. ‘The attention of President Underwood of the Erle was called to the published statement of Carroll D. Wright that the strike might last three weeks or a month yet, but that the strikers would lose. “The strike is breaking up,” sald Un- derwood, ‘“and such a statement from Wright will probably help matters along. But I will not attempt to predict when the strike will end.” SCARCITY OF MONEY ENDS NANCE O’NEIL'S PLAY McKee Rankin Explains When the Adelphi in London Was Closed. LONDON, Sept. 22.—In an interview to- day McKee Rankin, the manager of Nance O'Neil, the American actress, whose ill- ness, as announced last night, caused the closing of the Adelphi Theater here, where she had been appearing since September 17 as Elizabeth in ‘‘Elizabeth, Queen of Eng- land,” explains that the reason for stop- ping the performance was the shortage of cash. The losses incurred by Miss O’Neil's season have been heavy. Rankin estimates that $20,000 is not suffieent for all claims. Since Saturday the theater has been be- sieged by supers clamoring for their wages, which Rankin is now engaged in settling.
