L e e e ] ] STOLEN MONKEY CAUSES TROUBLE | Two Police Chiefs Con- % duct Long-Distance War on Him. Oaklang Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Sept. 26. The Chiefs of Police of are engaged in a bitter controversy over a monkey. Since the dispute began the entire Pacific Coast has been affected by it, and now the railroad company, the telegraph company and the express com- pany seem to have been drawn into the controversial vertex. The monkey, igno- rant of the economy of nations, fails to appreciate his importance as a world fac- tor and supinely eats peanuts. The trou- ble began when Chief of Police Hodgkins got the following telegram from Vancou- ver, Wash., dated September 23: Arrest one Charles Ganser. Wears band uniform. Due Oakland to-mormow. Had monkey shirped by express. Hold both and wire me. GEORGE NERTON, Chiet of Police. So Chief Hodgkins sent part of his force to Sixteenth-street depor and it arrested Ganser and the monkey. Chief Hodgkins then wired Chief Nerton asking ,what he was to do and received the following re- ply: Hold warrant for grand larceny against Gan- ser. NERTON, Chief of Police. A little while afterward another tele- gram came from up north, saying: If Ganser will express monkey to me, charges prepaid, turn him loose. Otherwise hold Gan- ser and I will send for him. NERTON. Acting on the advice of Prosecuting At- torney A. P. Leach Chief Hodgkins let Ganser go and the next day- Ganser got | the monkey. He explained that the mon- animal from a showman to whom he had leased it. Yesterday another telegram ar- rived from Vancouver. It read: Did Ganser express monkey? 1f so0, wire me. NERTON. | Then Chief Hodgkins informed his brother chief that he had let Ganser go, and this morning brought this hot reply, addressed to Prosecuting Attorney Leach: Man you ordered Chief of Police to release stole that monkey. I want the monkey re- turned at orce. 1 hold warrant of grand lar- ceny against Ganser. Answer. ~NERTON. Prosecuting Attorney Leach sent a re- ply, collect, that was equally hot. It read: Have no authority to issue any orders to Chief of Palice. He knows his business and will attend to it. No provision in State law to hold prisoner without warrant or would send him and monkey back to you, A. P, LEACH. Leach explains that he merely advised Chief Hodgkins, and did not order him to release Ganser. And so the war goes on, with no end in sight. | YOUNG GRADUATE IS MADE FACULTY MEMBER Charles T.

S Special Dispatch to The Call, OROVILLE, Sept. 26.—R, A. Moore, one of the best known of the oldtime resi- dents of Butte County, was to-day, after a trial lasting a week, acquitted of the charge of having murdered Isaac Bail. Moore had lived in Butte County since 1856, and for more than forty years had resided on his farm at Hamlilton Fgry, near Oroville. While he was a drigking man he was not of a quarrelsome dis- position and the excellent reputation he had borne was a strong factor in gaining his release. The killing of Isaac Ball occurred at Biggs on the 3lst of May. Moore had been drinking and while considerably un- der the influence of liquor met one of his farm employes, who asked for money. A dispute arose as to the payment of the amount claimed to ve due by the employe and Ball interceded in the lat- ter's behalf, addressing vile epithets te Moore and advancing toward him in a threatening manner. Moore thrust him back and at last stabbed him in the ab- domen with a small pocket knife. Moore ‘was immediately placed under arrest, but was liberated under heavy bail. The death of Ball occurred several days after the affray and Moore was then placed in the County Jail, where he has since been confined. The demeanor of the defendant on Lhe stand was that’ of A broken man, who had done a thing that\he would give his all on earth to undo. He claimed on the stand that Ball had threatened to kill him and had placed his hand on his hip pocket as though to draw a pistol. This evidence was substantiated by that of one other witness.

Wheel- an, president of the University Club of San Francisco, recounted to the students some personal reminiscences of President Theodore Roosevelt during his undergrad- uate days at Harvard University. Being a fellow classmate with the President in the class of ', Mr. Wheelan was able to give a wealth of detail concerning the President as a college student. The speaker said: I entered Harvard in the Centennial year of 1876, as a member of a class which had the distinction of having one of its members oc- cupy the Presidential chair of the United States. No class has cut such & figure in the history of the last decade as did the famous class of '80 of Harvard. We had many men ‘who have since won distinction as being princes of finance or able lawyers, but at the top, and greatest of all. stands Theodore Roosevel:. ‘With Roosevelt, Harvard numbers four - uates who have held the supreme office in the Government, Roosevelt came to college, a flat chested, somewhat undersized, anaemic looking fellow, with no Individuality _expressed about him whatever.

Steamers Wili Carry Anthra- cite From Far-Away Swansea. NEW YORK, Sept. 26.—The coal short- age reached an acute stage to-day. The priee of soft coal jumped to §8 a ton, $250 | more than the price Wednesday and three times as much as before the strike was begun. The quoted price of hard coal was $15, but it was merely nominal, as there was absolutely none to be had at any price. The price of wood followed coal. Kin- dling wood selling a few days ago at $10 | & eord brought $12 to-day. Practically a | complete fuel famine exists. Consumers throughout the ecity had postponed laying in a supply of coal, be- lleving that the strike would be settled and prices fall. Dealers assert that the supply of anthracite In the city is not 10 -per cent of the demand, and that the present supply of soft coal is hardly 25 per cent of the demand. The Park De- partment is seriously embarrassed. Ten days ago contracts were advertised for, and to-day only one bid was found, and | that was for 200 tons of pea coal at $375 per ton, which was quickly accepted. A conference of representatives of the | charitable organizations of the eity will| be held within a few days to consider the | situation resulting from the coal strike. Many of the organizations made contracts | for coal, but as these contain a strike clause, no supplies will be torthcumlng.} In former seasons the Society for Reliey- | ing the Condition of the Poor, the Unltedi Hebrew Charities and the St. Vincent de | Paul Society have distributed about 2000 tons of coal each, a total of 8000 tons. The charitable workers estimate that they wmay haye to provide ten or twenty times the amount’ of coal they have given away in former winters. Two steamers with a total capacity of about 7000 tons have been chartered for the -purpose of - carrying eargoes of Welsh anthracite coal from Swansea to the United States. The vessels are the | British steamer Sarmatia, registering 1343 tons net, which will come to New York, and the British steamer Montauk, 2202 tons net, which will go to Boston or Fall River. The latter vessel has been char- tered to earry coal at 65 64 per ton for one port or 7s to both perts. Terms of the Sarmatia’s charter were not made public. Prices are said to range from $6 1o $8 per ton for anthracite free on board at Swansea. The British steamer Turret Crown, registering 1142 tons;, has been chartered to load coal for Montreal and | Quebec at 5s 9. FATHER DOUBTS GUILT OF 30N William Hooper Young’s Parent Speaks of a Crime, PARIS, Sept. 26.—A newspaper man has | interviewed John W. Young, father of ‘William Hooper Young, who is charged witk the murder at New York of Anna Nielson Pulitzer, and the developments in the case against his son. Young said: | “I am convinced, from what has been published and from my own cable ad- vices, that my son is innocent, and I shall do the utmost in my power to help him; while if I thought him guilty of such a horrible ertme I would not move my hand to save him from justice. “He is wayward, but he never had a criminal tendency. The only explanation, to my mind, which can connect him with this crime is that he fell under the in- fluence of some designing person who per- petrated the murder and through whom | my son acquired a guilty knowledge of the crime or possibly became an ac- cessory after the fact. The boy is mot insane, but his mental strength has been undermined by vicious habits into which he fell when young. : “The dispatches say that a suit of my | son’s clothes was found in the trunk with the murdered woman's clothing; this it- | self is in his favor, for the perpetrator of | a crime would never convict himself in | such an obvious way. This was done by the real murderer, who is using my son as a screen. “I wish to say that my son is not a | member-of the Mormon Chureh, nor has | he been connected with-it for many years. We have been estranged for fifteen years. 1 helped him frequently through my other son, but have not seen him because of his waywardness and his vicious habits, to which his unfortunate failings are due. It was without my knowledge and consent that my son was living in my apartments during my absence.” RULES ARE FIXED FOR BONNHEIM PRIZE Professors Appoinbdafl/ Executors Announce Stipulations Governing the Ethical Debates. BERKELEY, Sept. 26.—The committee, consisting of Professors Gayley, Bacon and Bakewell, appointed to administer the an- nual Bonnheim prize of $250 offered for competition to the students of the Uni- versity of California, reported their plans regulating the contests to-day. According to Mr. Bonnheim's stipulation the contest shall be thrown open to all students in the colleges at Berkeley. The prize is offered to encourage ethical re- search among the students and foster scholarly discussion. The committee has divided the contest into written dissertations, the authors of the twelve best of which are to meet and orally contest for the prize. The subject this year, the dissertations upon which must be handed In by November 1, is “Lynching and the Moral Law."” > _————— Will Ask for Early Train.

Collegians Pledged to Pay Damages and Not to Rush Trains. BERKELEY, Sept. 25.—Upon the solemn assurances of the student body of the University of California that a repetition of last Wednesday’'s hold-up of the local train at Berkeley would not occur again, and further promises to make good all damage, the Southern Pacific and Oak- lapd Transit companies have agreed to cease pushing further investigations against the offending students. This is the result of a visit made to Manager Agler of the Southern Pacific Company and Assistant Manager Frost of the Transit Company this afterncon by S. Bruce Wright, president of 'the Associated Students. ‘Wright presented resolutions adopted by the students this morning deprecating the occurrence of Wednesday night and prom- ising to make financial restitution for the losses jentalled. On these assurances the case against’ Winfleld Read, the student now charged with malicious mischief, wHl not be pushed any farther and no further attempts to apprehend other offenders will 'be made. Before a crowded .assemblage of stu- dents and faculty members this morning President Wheeler publicly deplored the event of Wednesday night. He said: I cannot forbear saying a word about the occurrence the other night. This is no time for scolding and I will not scold. The affair has grieved me deeply, We are all in one boat together. Whan that thing was done we ail suffered—faculty, presi- dent and students alike. When I say that the greatest offense was against the student body ftselt you all kuow and feel that such is the ruth. All the efforts which have been made toward building up the fair name of the university were paralyzed by this single incident. Ail efforts directed toward bringing financial sup- port to the university have been paralyzed. A body of very young men, deprived of their natural leaders who had gone to bed, went down to the station gladsome of heart after their raily. They did not kmow that they carried the honor of the university in their hands. They threw it in the mud and trampled on it. God forgive them for they did not know what they were doing. STUDENTS TAKE ACTION. At the close of the university meeting, upon the request of Bruce Wright, presi- dent of the Associated Students, all of the students remained to take some action on the case which President Wheeler had thus publicly deplored. President Wright addressed the students as follows: This s a serious matter and one which we must settle -immediately. Prompt action om our part may prevent action which the South- ern 'Pacific Company will surely otherwise take. Rallroad Detective Crowley of the Southern Pacific Company was closeted with the prasi- dent any mysel? this morning and he demands that the student body deliver the names of fif- teen or sixteen of the participants to him to be held responsible along with Read. Upon the suggestion of the detective be- ing given.the names by Wright, a strong | protest was registered by those present. It was unanjmously decided that rather than turn over any students to the detec- tive, the whole student body should hold themselves liable to any action for dam- ages which the railroad might bring. The following reésolutions were then adopted unanimously: ‘Whereas, The initial rally held on the cin- ‘der track last Wednesday night was followed by disorder and destruction of property, par- ticipated in by a large number of students, but in no way consistent with the general sentiment of the university, and Whereas, The fair name of the university has suffered with the public, which rightly fails to find a sufficient excuse for such acts in misdirected excess of enthusiasm, but dominant in the student body; therefore, be it Resolved, That we, the student body of the realizing our re- sponsibility for the results of the misguided enthusiasm on Wednesday night, do heartily pledge ourselves to make all possible restitu- tion for the same, both financially and other- wise. The case of young Read, who was the only student arrested on Wednesday night, will come up before Judge Quinn to-morrow for a hearing. He is charged with malicious mischief. RUSHERS WILL ESCAPE.
