DOUBT SHAOUDS SNYDER'S HOME Residence of Alleged Perjurer a Loegal Question. Delicate Matters of Law in the St. Louis Boodle Case. ST. LOUIS, Oct. 3—~When the trial of Robert Snyder, banker and promoter, charged with perjury in connection with the Central Traction bill, was resumed in Judge Ryan's court to-day Circuit Attor- ney Folk began the task of proving that the defendant’s case did not come under the statute of limitations, and therefore he was not exempt from prosecution. The Miesourl statute of limitations reads: “In all cases the time during which any defendant shall not have been &n inhabitant of or usually resident with- State shall not constitute any part the limitations.” The period of iimitation for bribery is llree years. It is the State’s contention thst Snyder has been a resident of New York for the greater part of the time | since the Central Traction bili was passed in 1898, and cannot therefore receive the benefits of the statute of limitations.

The brewery kings have suffered at the hands of the sellers of malt, and the malt men have been handed a package by the dealers in barley. The situation became serious, so the moving spirits among the creators of the invigorating ‘“‘steam” got together and held a heart-to-heart talk. They are all in the wise class, and it was no hard work for them to frame a scheme whereby they could square them- selves and continue to live on Easy street.

The sur- prise of the husky longshoreman was great when he entered his favorite resort and nodded to the man behind the bar for the usual “bootleg” and received the de- spised “pony.” As soon as the changed conditions be- czame known along the front' the cham- pions of the “long” steam held indigna- tion meetings and threatened to assault the breweries. Consternation reigned su- preme, and the dispensers of the steam beverage found themselves playing to empty houses. No less disturbed were the scenes in the uptown districts. The crowd of stroll- ers soon became acquainted with the turnp of affairs, and the suffering from thirst was intense. All along the line the wise but thirsty ones met and discussed the situation, after which they wandered to Lotta’s fountain, but could not brace up sufficlent courage to try the Adam’s ale there on tap.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 3.—The street car strike situation took on a new phase this afternoon when the big retail mer- chants of the city met at the St. Charles Hotel and decided that unless the strike was called off by Baturday night they will all close their establishments, indefi- nitely, throwing out of employment about 5000 clerks. The merchants then brought about a conference between the Mayor, raiflroad officials and car men. President Pearson of the rallway company submitted a proposition that the men return to work and then arbitrate the alleged violations of the old agreement, a new proposition to be considered if the agreement is de- clared to have been violated, the rate of wages and hours to date from the time the men go back to work. The car men’s committee went back to the union hall to submit the proposition to the men. Late to-night the conference of the three elements was resumed. Indorse W. J. Wynn. At a meeting of the Iroquols Demo- cratic Club last evening W. J. Wynn, candidate for Congress in the Fifth Dis- trict, was indorsed by the organization.

Arthur Leroy Piper yesterday failed to give Judge Sloss a satisfactory explana- tion of why he neglected to comply with the order of the court directing him to pay $100 alimony to Mary Helen Piper, his wife. Piper was adjudged guilty of contempt. Judge Sloss informed Piper that unless he paid the alimony within five days he would have to go to jail. The Piper contempt proceedings have been in court for several weeks. Piper is being sued for divorce by his wife and the matter came up before Judge Sloss on a motion for alimony pending the trial of the suit. Judge Sloss ordered him to pay to his wife $100 a month. Piper paid $30 and was haled into court on an order to show cause. He appeared several times, each time furnishing new excuses for his dereliction and always secured delay urtil yesterday, when he was given to understand that the order of court must be obeyed. Piper is a member of the firm of Piper, Aden & Goodall. Mary J. Stockf, who was married to Joseph Etockf at Sacramento last Feb- ruary, filed a suit for divorce yesterday, alleging that it is unsafe for her to live longer with her husband because of his insane jealousy.

Specifal Dispatch to The Call. STOCKTON, Oct. 3.—Fire in Tuolumne to-day destroyed part of the principal business portion of the town. It started in Raymond’s Hotel and burned the Ger- mania saloon, the Belle View Hotel and saloon, the Peerjess Hotel, saloon and restaurant, the Magnolia saloon -and restaurant and the Yosemite Lodging- house. Then the flames communicated to the immense building of the West BSide Lumber Company, containing a $30,000 general merchandise stock, the head of- fices of the banking department, the Town. Hall, the postoffice and the Sierra saloon. The fire was stopped at the lum- ber yards, where 20,000,000 feet of lumber is piled. Had it got into this yard the sawmill, planing mill, sash and door fac- tory, box factory, roundhouse, dry kilns, ete., valued at $503,000, would have been lost. The Yosemite House was the last to burn. There the citizens rallled and fought the flames. Sick men were carried out of the hotel and valuables were taken to ‘places of safety. ‘Numerous heroic rescues wete recorded. John Mayes bravely rescued Mrs, Carrle Randolph from the Peerless Hotel, the building col- lapsing one minute later. The majority of the roomers in the hotels, numbering about two hundred, lost all of their be- longings. g 2 The losses are: West Side Lumber Com- pany, $90,000, insurance unknown; J.. H.

A specialmeeting of the Labor party leaders and the members of the govern- ing committee of the Union Labor party was held last evening in the Winchester Hotel., The meeting was called for the | purpose of having the committee indorse | the party’s nominees for Congress in or- der to give them the right to go on the State ticket. It appears that Secretary of State Curty sent word to the new central committee of the Union Labor party that in order to have the names of W. J. Wynn and E. J. Livernash placed on the ticket it would | be necessary to secure the indorsement of | the governing committee. The latter com- mittee was appointed previous to the last | election and Is still in power, despite the fact that the Union Labor party conven- tion which adjourned last Saturday night elected a new county or central commit- | tee, composed of fifty-four members, ‘When the Union Labor party” leaders and friends of the candidates for Con- gress learned that the indorsement of the governing committee had to be in Sacra- mento before noon to-day, to make it pos- sible for Livernash and Wynn to enter | the Congressional fight, telephones, car- riages, messenger boys and all sorts of means were used to bring the members of the governing committee together. Mayor Schmitz took active steps in noti- fying the committee and attended the meeting. The governing committee consists of twenty-eight members. The special meet- ing was held in the Winchester Hotel and did not adjourn until after midnight. Everything was harmonious. Luminaries of the law advised the committee on its duties and every member affixed his sig- nature to the specially prepared docu- ments setting forth that Wynn and Liv- ernash had been properly nominated in convention and were entitled to places on the State ticket. A. H. Ewell, chairman of the governing committee, presided. Among those who participated in the discussion were F. G. Aubertin, John Quinn, Timothy Ryan, W. P. Delaney, John McKeon, T. Har- per, Vincent Bello, J. Powers, Walter Gallagher, James Wilson, Captain Krim- hoff and Fire Commissioner Parry. The last named was oncé a member of the committee but resigned on being appoint- ed to his offfcial position. A ‘special messenger will go to Sacra- mento by the first train this morning and will rush to the office of the Secretary of State in order to be within the law gov- erning the manner by which candidates for office are placed on- the State ticket. ———— Politiecal Notes. . Charles F. Curry, Republican candidate for re-election to the office of Secretary of State, arrived in the city yesterday and will attend the mass-meeting . to- night. There are many indications that the popular Secretary of State will re- ceive an immense majority at the com- ing election. His unfailing attention to public duties during the past four years accounts, in a measure, for his popularity. It is a topic of everyday comment in the various counties of the State that his work as a public official is commendable. Ex-Senator E. C. Voorhels of Amador County, a progressive Republican of acknowledged ability and enterprise, is in this city. He is confident of Republican success in the coming election. ® saries of life during the past year.

Thworted In his bloodthirsty purpose to brain his mother the boy, on another oc- caslon, selzed a rifle and threatened to | send a bullet through her head. A fiérce struggle followed betwcen mother and son, but luckily for the parent and would- be matricide, the rifle did not go off. De- spairing of controlling her boy, Mrs. Gravatt has had him put in the City Prison, where he will remain pending the decision of pareris and police as to what shall be done with him. The incident of the ax occurred three days ago. Arthur had asked his mother several times to give him money with which to go to the theater. When she refused he pounced upon her and beat her with his clenched fists, raising abra- sions upon her face and head and tearing out her hair. The boy's anger increased with his mother’s persistence against his démands and the climax of his wrath was reached when he grabbed an ax and at- tempted to strike her with it. She re- sisted with all her power, finally subduing her son and taking the weapon from him. STRUGGLE FOR THE RIFLE. This morning the boy renewed his d PABALYSIS ENDS LIFE OF AN ALAMEDA PIONEER R. Frank Clark, Prominent in Busi- ness, Social and Fraternal Cir- cles Passes Away. ALAMEDA, Oct. 3—R. Frank Clark, one of the most prominent business and clubmen of this city died this morning at his home, 1808 Alameda avenue. Death was due to paralysis. Clark suffered a paralytic stroke sev- eral months ago and went to the Santa Cruz Mountains with the hope that the change of climate and a rest from active work would restore him .to health. His hope was not realized, however, and he returned. He continued to fail rapidly after his return, and although his demise was expected, the news of his death oc- casioned widespread mourning among his many friends and acquaintances in this eity. Deceased was a native of New York, e- aged 72 years, and came to California | fifty-one years ago. When a boy he was employed by a large dry goods house in n Francisco. Later he interested him- self in politics in that city and was ap- pointed to a position in the customs ser- vice, which he retained for fifteen years. The office was abolished during the first term of President Grover Cleveland. For twenty-threo years Clark resided here. He is survived by a wife and three chil- dren, Herbert D., Mabel and Sidney Clark. —_—————————— RACING AT FRESNO.

Again he became infur- iated, and, running to his room. returned with a 22-caliber rifle, which he aimed directly at his mother’s forehead. Un- daunted, however, Mrs. Gravatt rushed at her son and seized the rifle by the stock. A terrible struggle ensued between the two. The boy threw his mother to the floor and over and over they rolled, both fighting for possession of the weapon. At last the mother conquered by wresting the rifle out of her son’s hands. Out of the struggle the rifle came broken and useless. When Officer Drew responded to the police call he found the boy strapped to a tree in the back yard of the Gravatt resi- dence. Mrs. Gravatt had called in some neighbors, who assisted her in tying him. ‘When the policeman released him, how- ever, he made no attempt to renew the fight. ““I expected the rifle to go off every min- ute,” said Mrs. Gravatt this afternoon at the City Prison after she had visited her son in a cell. “Every minute might have been my last. I don’t know what bas got into the boy. He must be demented or insane. If he is sane he never would at- tack his mother the way he did. He has , the strength of a maniac and I had a ter- rible struggle with him. I have noticed that he has been acting queerly for a long time and something must be done with him.” BOY PRISONER IS SULLEN. In his cell the boy showed none of the usual signs of contrition. He was as sul- len and unrelenting as a hardened char- acter. There was nothing to suggest de- mentia about him, and he acted more like a boy with a stubborn, viclious disposi- tion. ‘What did you want to kill your mother for?” he was asked. “Just for fun,” was the unfeeling reply. “Why didn't you go to school to-day?” “I didn’t want to.” That was all that could be got out of him He does not seem to mind his for- bidding surroundings, and is apparently contented. No charge -has been placed against his name as the parents and police are undetermined as to the course to pur- sue in such.an extraordinary case. The two deadly weapons are retained -t the police station as evidence. EMETERY WAR ~ BROWS BITTER “Insurgent” Directors Fail to Get in Old Board Meeting, [ More Trouble in Odd Fellows’ Association Is Promised Shortly. The fight for the control of the direct- orate of the Odd Fellows’ Cemetery As- sociation was reopened yesterday after- noon. H. F. Maass and the other protesting ‘plat-owners who were elected to the trus- teeship by dissatisfled stockhbiders marched up the steps leading to the cemetery office, followed Dby their legal advise?, Attorney Coun- tryman, and ‘then and thers made formal demand of Manager Fletcher for possession of the books, documents, rec- ords; etc., of the association. Anticipating the visit of the “Insurgent™ board Manager Fletcher executed a flank movement and securely locked the room in which the incumbent board, presided over by J. F. Cowdery, was holding ity monthly meeting. Undismayed by their failure to secure possession of the regular ‘meeting-room the “insurgent™ board took seats on soap-boxes, piles of papers and other convenient resting- dlaces and Maass then called the members to order. The matter of no quorum did not prevent the board, how- ever, from going ahead with the busi- ness at ‘hand. Attorney Countryman played the dual role of secretary and legal adviser. After adopting almotion instructing the president to again make a peremptory demand on Secretary Pen- lington for possession of the documents,, records, files, etc., of the assoclation the “insurgent” meeting adjourned. It was along toward 6:30 when the in- cumbent board adjourned and the mem- bers filed out hurriedly toward their homes, dodging here and there a query hurled at them by President Maass, At- torney Countryman and the members of the “insurgent” board. Vice President Cowdery, smiling and good-natured through it all, courteously directed the interrogators to Secretary Penlington, who, he said, would cheerfully give such information as he might have at his com- mand. Chagrined at their failure to get any satisfaction out of the elysive direct- ors, Maass and his board massed them- selves outside the door to await the exit of the secretary. Penlington, with his arms full of books and papers, made a center rush from the room toward a pass- ing car, and, halling it, got aboard, fol- lowed by Maass and the ‘“insurgents.” Here they finally got the secretary wedged in. “As president of the board of directors of the Odd Fellows’ Cemetery Associa- tion I demand those papers,” sald Maass, “You cannot have them,” returned Pen- | Hington, curtly. “You will have to see Mr. Cowdery.” “By what right do you demand them?” interposed Director Winterburn, one of the incumbent board, who sat alongside of Penlington. “By virtue of my office as president or the board,” replied Maass. “Oh, that election don’t count for any- thing—it won’t hold in a court of law.” “Well, we will see about that,” replied Countryman, sharply. “Now, Mr. Penlington, let’s go about this matter in an orderly manner,” said Countryman. “You, as secretary of the assoclation, are required, under its char- ter, to show the books and papers to any lot-owner, upon proper demand. We have made this demand and it has been ab- ruptly refused. We don't want to take strenuous measures to settle this matter. If you can’t show us these books we will go down to the Police Court and get a ‘warrant for the secretary’s arrest, char ing him with refusal to comply with the law. “Oh, it’s not necessary to do that,” re- plied Penlington. “But it may he,” responded Maass, “and if driven to this necessity we will do our duty. Now, sir, as president of the board of directors, T serve notice on vou that I will be at your office at 3 o’clock to-morrow to look at the records of the assoclation. If I am refused them then we shall see what can be done by the police to make you obey the law.” Penlington left the car at this juncture and the crossfire ceased! Late Shipping Intelligence.
