When he arrived in the city with the proceeds of his crime | in Los Angeles he called at the Schultz | home with his wife, according to Miss Schultz, and both of them made a favor- able impression. After Murphy’s money vas gone his wife appealed to the Schultz household for hospitality, representing | that her husband was in hard luck, and | uring her stay there he visited her daily. Shortly after one of his visits Miss Schultz missed the jewelry, which belongs | to her brother, and at, once suspected Murphy of the theft, as he was the only one outside of his wife and the family who had access to the house. She did not make any complaint to the police, because she feared the notoriety.

P Jerome Hamilton, who resides at 48 Thirteenth street, is now regretting that he did not notify Miss Mabel Ayer, presi- | dent of the California State Branch of the | International Sunshine League, and se- | cure her consent before he undertook to | collect money under the name of the in- | ternational society. Had he done so he | would have saved himself from being | placed in a very awkward predicament. | Mr. Hamilton came to The Call office last “ night and presented indisputable proof | that he is a member of the International |'Sunshine Society and that his intentions | were all right when he sent out postal | cards requesting subscriptions of ten-cent | pleces toward the erection of a sunshine home in this city. How the mistake was made is fully explained in the following | letter from Miss Ayer: September 26, City Editor Call—Dear Sir: In regard to the article which appeared in this morning's Call | denouncing Mr, Jerome Hamilton, I should like to make some explanation. The circular letter issued by Mr. Hamilton proposing a scheme. for building a $15,000 Sunshine home for children was unauthorized by ary officers of the State soclety, but to be quite sure a telegram wa sent 10 Mrs. Alden at the headquarters of the International Sunshine Soclety, New York | City. Mrs. Alden’s reply was decided, and In | View of the fact that many frauds and schemes had been perpetrated In the name of the soci- (ely we felt it necessary to notify the publiz | that our society did not indorse this project. A recent letter from Mrs, Alden particularly | warned members against any one askips sub- scriptions for slum childzen, o there wal every reason to believe that this circular could not | have been sent out with honorable intentions. Since the publication of the article in_The Call Mr. Hamilton has been seen by the State officers, who feel that a most unfortunate mis- take has occurred; for the gentleman's ap- pearance would certainly repudiate any inten- ton of fraud, his error being in desiring, as he said, to work Independently of the State soclety,’ not knowing that his plan was par- ticularly objectionable to the president general and all other officers of the Sunshine Society. The soclety feels particularly indebted to The Call for aiding their work and trusts that the publication of this letter will make everything clear in regard to the motive of all concerned. | Mr. Hamlilton produced letters from the headquarters of the soclety, signed by the secretary, showing that he had been enrolled as & member of the international, but not hav- ing reported to the State headquarters and no record having been gent, as s the custom with Mrs, Alden, it was very natural that we | | should desire to protect our members. It is to be regretted that Mr. Hamilton did not show his letters to The Call reporter last evening, for while we feel personally that he is a gentleman, appearances were very much against him, and we trust that all other mem- bers of the State society not enrolled will let us hear from them, that all future mistakes may be avolded, MABEL ADAMS AYER, State President I.

A new understanding has been reached between the United Rallroads and the local union of the Amalgamated Associa- tion of Street Rallway Employes, and in consequence better feeling and greater mutual confidence exists than at any time since the strike. Richard Cornelius, president and business agent of the un- ion, has been reinstated as an employe of, the company and has been given a leave of absence until 1904. As a result he is now fully recognized as competent to meet with General Manager Chapman and present grievances of his fellow em- ployes. Recently trouble arose that might eas- ily have grown until a serious breach would have resulted. General Manager Chapman was led to believe that Cor- nellus was sowing discord among the em- ployes, garbling statements made to him in the office of the general manager and otherwise keeping affairs in a turmoil in order to show his efficlency as business agent. Tales of that sort were carried to Chapman, and for a time Cornelius ‘Wwas persona non grata at the company’s offices. Later investigation convinced the general manager that he had done Cor- nellus an injustice, as the influence of the union’s business agent has been used to further harmony between the company and its employes. As an expression of good will toward Cornelius his reinstate- ment as an employe was ordered, with a leave of absence which is practically in- definite, as it is understood that it will be renewed upon its expiration. Cornelius is now received regularly by the general manager upon stated days of the week, to present grievances or suggestions from his fellow employes. The United Rall- roads still refuse to recognize the union outright and insist upon treating with representatives of their employes and not with representatives of the union. The executive committee of the San Francisco Labor Council announced last vight that an entertainment will be given at the Alhambra Theater on the after- noon and evening of October 9 in aid of the Eastern miners out on strike, and also for the striking tanners in this State ond Portland, Or. Volunteers from the local theaters have volunteered their ser- viges. Union No. 64 of the International Union of Steam Engineers will meet at American Hall, Alcazar building, next Wednesday evening and give a smoker Wednesday evening, October 8. KILLS HIMSELF BECAUSE OF INCURABLE CANCER Chrigtian Voss, Despondent and Mad- dened With Pain, Commits Sui- cide in the Park. Christlan Voss, who lived at 1519 How- ard street, committed suicide some time last Thursday night by shooting himself through the heart with a revolver. His dead body was found yesterday morning in ,the shrubbery near the Haight-street entrance to Golden Gate Park. A revolver, one chamber of which had been discharged, lay close to his right hand and several envelopes, on which Voss had written in pencil, were near the body. On one of the envelopes was writ- te ‘ause of suicide cancer. Very painful. “g. Vo The deceased had a large cancer on his face. He arrived recently from Plata, Monterey County. H. Behrmann of 1815 Howard street is his brother-in-law. e Temperance Union Women Meet. The annual convention of the San Fran- cisco County Women'’s Christian Temper- ance Union was held at Trinity Presby- terian Church yesterday, Mrs. Alice Brad- ley in the chair.

Charles Owings, a teamster, residing at 735 Eddy street, while driving a four- horse team on Larkin street yesterday had some difficulty with an expressman named 1. K. Rubenstein.

In falling the back of his head struck the curb- stone, inflicting a severe gash, which was dressed at the Emergency Hospital by Dr. Maher. JTATE TROOPS AWE STRIKERS Order Is Réstored in the Northern End of the Coal Fields. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 2.—No dis- turbances of moment occurred in the strike region to-day. There was a small riot at Centralia, in the southern end of Columbia County, where some strikers attacked non-union men who were on their way to the mines, and Sherift Knorr asked Governor Stone to send troops to quell the disturbance. Thus far no troops have been sent. In the Lackawanna and Wyoming val- leys universal quiet prevails and the sol- dlers weré not called upon to suppress disorder, while at Forest City, Susque- hanna County, the extreme northern end of the anthracite coal belt, the presence of the soldiers has had the effect of aw- ing the rioters. At Lebanon, where the employes of the American Steel and Iron Company have been fighting against the importation of laborers, there is a temporary truce, with a likelihood that all differences will be settled and the men shortly return to work. e S + Four Fishing Schooners Lost. ST. JOHNS,. N. F., Sept. 26.—A severe gale has been raging along the coast for the past few days, doing much damage to property. Three more Labrador fish- ing schooners have been lost with their cargoes, but the crews escaped. A fourth schooner has been lost and the crew of seven of this vessel perished. BRIBERY IS NOW CLAIMED. Alleged Movement to Buy Influence of Miners’ Officers. SCRANTON, Pa., Sept. 26.—In a state- ment issued to-day District President Nichols accuses Michael Grimes, an ex- mine foreman, of being “‘at the head of a movement inaugurated by the coal com- panies to bribe a number of mine workers” locals for $2500 apiece to vote to return to work.” Nichols declares at the close of his statement that his “informants stand ready to prove their assertions in court.” Grimes denies the Nichols statement and the coal companies also say it is not true. It is proposed to make use of mine mules in formting a cavalry troop of Thi teenth Regiment men. The long marches through the mud are beginning to fatigue the soldlers. SHENANDOAH, Pa., Sept. 26.—Sherift Knorr of Columbia County this afternoon asked Governor Stone to send troops to Centralla. The Governor referred the matter to General Gobin, and the latter advised the Sheriff to make a further ef- fort to preserve the peace with the re- sources at hand. Strikers to-day held up three trolley cars filled with non-union men and stoned the workmen. Guards from nelghboring collieries were called and drove the rioters back. A workmen's train was held up and those on board were warned to quit work under threats of being harshly dealt with. Centralia is a small community and General Gobin says the men who have been violating the law there are known to the Sheriff and his deputies, and instead of applying for troops the latter should arrest the lawbreakers and put them in Jail. DETROIT, Mich., Sept. 26.—The Com- mon Council, at. an adjourned session to- day, adopted the following resolution: “Resolved, That a committee consisting of the President of the Council and six other members be appointed to consider the advisability of extending an invitation to the people of all the citles and towns depending upon the Pennsylvania flelds for their coal supply to appoint represeng- atives to meet in a great convention in this city at the earllest possible date to consider ways and means to force a re- sumption of coal production, either by pressure of public opinion or by Govern- ment intervention, which should be de- manded if other measures fail.” A committee was appointed by Presi- dent Smith, and it will meet next Monday night to discuss and consider the resolu- tion. BOY 15 BITTEN BY A MAD D06 Theodore Kolse Suffers From Hydrophobic Animal, Frenzied by hydrophobia a Mttle fox terrier belonging to a woman named Mrs. Kraig, who lives at 1101 Vallejo street, ran out among the children playing on that thoroughfare about § o’clock yester- day afternoon, and before his mad flight was stopped had succeeded in Inflicting a severe laceration of the lips on Theodore Kolse, an 1l-year-old boy, who resides with his parents at 14 Glover street. Young Kolse was playing with a num- ber of children on Vallejo street and no- ticed the dog running along and snapping at everything he saw. Being entirely ig- norant of the nature of hydrophobia the boy thought the dog was merely fright- ened and barred hiS way on his knees, As the dog passed him he snapped at the | boy’s face, and his poisoned fangs ecru- elly lacerated both of the child's lips. Older people than the children noticed the queer actions of the dog, and a crowd of 200 men and boys chased it with stones and clubs to the home of its owner. A fortunate missile laid it prostrate on the lawn, writhing in the agony of the dread disease. Policeman Tom Nailor was sum- moned and with the consent of Mrs. Kraig he carried the dog by the tall to a safe place despite its snappings and ended its life with two bullets. Young Kolse was taken to his home and a physician summoned. The wounds on the lips were dressed, but the doctor was unable to say whether the boy’s life could be saved until at least twelve days have passed. It may be necessary to send him to Chicago, where he can be | given the benefit of the Pasteur treat- | ment. The occurrence of hydrophobia In this climate Is extremely rare, and no cases of it reappearing in a bitten person could | be recalled by the old policemen last | night. Geary Talks in Fortuna.
