Hundreds of people witnessed | the drowning and the efforts at rescue. | The little fellow met his death by fall- ing from the Olympic iron pier while fishing. With his mother, who lives at 867 Hayes street, and his sister May, Marcus went to the beach about 2 o'clock. He had been fishing off the pier on the Sunday before and his mother, thinking that all was safe, let him go out on it again. | “Mrs. Murphy and Ler daughter were sit- ting on the sand at the time the boy was drowned. They saw those who attempted to rescue him jump into the water and | the members of the vast crowd which |lined the beach run hither and thither, | excitedly, in search of help, and won- dered with the others who the unfortu- nate was in the seething waters. It was nearly two hours afterward | when little Marcus’ absence was noted by | his mother, and as every one had come in | off the pier a sudden fear seized Mrs. Murphy that it was her boy who had lost his life. She said that she had made him | a little white bag in which to carry his bait for fishing. Upon hearing that one of the men 0 had plunged into the water to save the child had noticed the same little bag hanging to the boy’s side her worst fears were suddenly realized, | and the grief of herself and daughter was pitifyl. SPRING BRAVELY TO RESCUE. They did not give up hope, though, and anxiously scoured the beach, scanning every little face. They knew that Marcus would seek them, were he living, as he had no carfare, and so lingered until twi- light came and with it despair. The accident developed some = heroes, brave men who plunged into the waves in a vain attempt to save the child's life. Arthur Brown, aged 13, and residing at 665 McAllister street, was sitting next to Marcus, watching him fish, when he saw him suddenly reach forward to grab his line, as if there was a bite. Marcus lost Sailor Charged With Robbery. L. Hougens, a sailor, was arrested early yesterday morning by Policeman Roediger 2nd booked at the City Prison on a charge {of robbery. Roediger says he saw Hou- gens holding H. Odea, a Japanese sailor, against the wall of a house on Webb place. Odea told the officer that Hougens had taken his purse, containing $9 45, and had also broken his watch chain in at- tempting to steal his watch. Odea’s purse was found in Hougens’ pocket and it was booked as evidence aginst him. ———————— Shot in Shooting Gallery. S. Martin, who keeps a shooting gallery on Dupont str8et, near Califorpia, was shot last night in the back by a man who came to the gallery and wished to shoot at the target with his revolver. Martin was taken to the Emergency Hospital, where an attempt was made to find the bullet, but without avail. Martin admits tbat the shooting was accidental. After the doctor had probed for the bullet the injured man left in a conveyance for his home, / his balance and without a cry fell into the water. “I saw him strike his legs against the iron, and then he was gone,” sald young Brown. Franklin Ormsby, Willlam Duggin of 209 Hickory avenue and J. R. Williams of 1240 Mason street, West Berkeley, jumped frem the pier. Only one of them, Ormsby, reached the boy. He held him until his strength began to wane, and had to re- lease his hold, just as the other two got close enough to see the boy sink for the last time and his body, grasped in the fearful undertow, race fast to sea. MEN BATTLE FOR LIFE. Then the men who would have rescued the child began a battle for their own lives, the tide and undertow rendering their task a desperate one. Duggin came near collapsing, cried for help and was dragged from the water by Rodriguez Drack and E. Polito, who braved the breakers and waded out to their waists to succor the exhausted men. All of them agreed that they were as near death as they ever wanted to ‘be. Duggin was badly scratched in being dragged from the water and had to be sent to the Park Hospital. Much excitement was created by the slow manner in which the life-saving crew responded. R. L. Juarez, an elec- trician in the employ of the Gas Consum- ers’ Association and residing at 2503 Post street, was the first to notify the men at the station. Kennedy Park of 878 Geary street also notified the crew. Juarez in telling of his experience said: “I saw the boy struggling in the wa- ter, and immedlately realizing that he was in danger ran to the life-saving sta- tion. On the way I met a man with a horse and buggy going my way, so I Jjumped in. called for help. After a little wait one of the crew showed up. I said, ‘There is < man drowning out there.’ He said, as though I had no right to distutb him, ‘Well, we can't do anything.’ Finally, seeing that I was excited and in earnest, be rang the gong. In the meantime Mr, Park came up and told the same story. So when three of the crew showed up they began to get the boat out. The wheel of the wagon became caught in the door and it took two minutes to dis- @i e : ° Shortage Charged to Sharkey, A wararnt was issued last Wednesday by Judge Fritz for the arrest of J. W. Sharkey on a charge of felony embhezzle- ment, the complaining witness being W. A. Walker, superintendent of the Tontine Loan and Security Companyi Sharkey was a collector for the company and was alleged to be $70 short in his accounts. By mistake in a previous mention of the 1ssuing of the warrant Walker was made the defendant and Sharkey the complain- Ing witness. —————— Rich Farmer Commits Suicide. ONTARIO, Oct. 5.—In a sudden fit of Cespondency over ill health Charles A. Endicott, a wealthy farmer, 38 years of age, shot and killed himself at his ranch near Uplands this morning. Endicott was one of the best-known residents of this section and came here from Connecticut nine years ago. His wife is visiting in Springfield, Conn., and Endicott was pre- paring to join her, On reaching the station I| lodge it; then when the boat had reached the beach they refused to.launch it, as some one had called out ‘False alarm!” I am confident, and what I say was said by others, that if the crew had heeded the first warning and not stopped to argue it would have reached the boy before he sank. Not until a mounted policeman came tearing up with the news was the boat launched.” OLD CRY OF “WOLEF.” Mr. Park's statement was practically the same as Juarez’s. The life-saving crew, in replying to its alleged shirking of duty, claims that it is merely a case of the old wolf story. The men sdy there is a professional swim- mer advertising some manufactory, who does a swimming stunt every Sunday, diving from the ‘Olympic pler. Many ex- citable people, imagining that some one is in distress, run to the station with the cry that man is overboard. The crew on hearing this cry again yesterday thought of the old scare and scouted the story as improbable, Captain George H. Varney, who was in charge of the station yesterday, said: ““The public seems to be very much ex- ercised over this affair, but I am sure we should not be censured. We got the boat on the platform preparatory to launching it, when we were informed that the ex- citement was caused by a man swimming. I sent two of my men up to the pier to find out the truth and when I saw them .returning running I realized the situa- tion ‘and gave orders to launch the beat. | ‘We cruised around for twenty minutes without seelng anything. The report that the body was seen fifteen minutes afterward was probably given out by some one who saw a seal and mistook it it for a corpse.” The body up to a late hour last night had not been found. A watch was set in the expectation that the sea might give up its dead. The life-saving people are of the opinion that the corpse will never be recovered, as the tide was run- ning out at the time of the drowning. Mrs. Murphy is a widow and has three children. ' Her husband died when Mar- cus was two years old. PLAN TO RAISE - BUILDING FUND Mak: Further Arrangements for Carnival. League of Oross Companies to Give’ Many Enter- tainments. . The Poster Carnival, which is to be given by the League of the Cross Ca- dets In Mechanics' Pavilion from Novem- ber 19 to 26, promises to be a most inter- esting and novel event. The object of the carnival is to raise funds for the con- struction of a handsome Lepgue of the Cross building which will serve as head- quarters for the cadets, reading room, gymnasium and in fact as a sort of a homie where the hundreds of young Cath- olic men who are members of the league may improve their leisure hours. Such a building has long been desired and needed by -the young Catholics of this city, and now that Father Philip O'Ryan, who is the spfritual adviser of the ca- dets, has pointed the way for obtalning this long-felt- want, the cadets and their friends are entering most enthusiastically into the plans. - The League of the Cross Carnival com- mittee met yesterday afternoon in Loyola Hall, corner of Tenth and Market streets, to further the arrangements. Father O'Ryan acted as chairman of the meet- ing. Father Peter C. Yorke was present and addressed the committee. He spoke of the excellent work that has been per- formed by the league since it was organ- ized by Bishop Montgomery. He spoke about the excellent objects of the organ-, ization which assisted the young men to lead good moral lives while they were passing through that period when the habits of their lives age being perma- nently formed. He said that citizens in general should support the boys in this movement and that he hoped to see the day when the Catholic young men of the city would have a magnificent hall. MEANS OF ADVERTISING. After Father Yorke concluded his re- marks, Martin Fleming was appointed assistant secretary with the understand- ing that until the opening of the car- nival he should devote all his time to the arrangements. The chief feature of the carnival, according to the plans thus far outlined, will be the poster parade, which will furnish to the merchants and business houses a striking and unique means of advertising. The grand march will be led’ by costumed representatives of business houses, and the firms whose representatives appear in the most orig- inaleand artistic costumes will be awarded prizes by judges appointed for that pur- pose. Space_on the floor of the Pavilion will be available for exhibition purposes. The. Poster Carnival, although the chief entertainment, is not the only one the League of the Cross Cadets intend glv- ing In order to secure funds for the pro- posed building. Father O'Ryan an- nounced at the meeting yesterday that an entertainment will be given at the Orpheum Thursday afternoon, October 23, in aid of the fund. On that occasion George Lask, of Fischer's Theater, will act as stage manager and an excellent vaudeville programme will e presented. The following committee will have charge of the Orpheum entertainment: ‘William P. Humphrey:, James E. Power, J. B, Queen, F. T. Shea, Dr. F. J. Cunningham, William R. Christy, Mrs. George Knox, Mrs. | A. P, O'Brien, Mrs. T. Panter and Mrs. J. C. Fiood. | COMPANIES TO ENTERTAIN. Each company of the cadets is prepar- ing to do something substantial to help along the good movement. Colonel James E. Power announced that all the com- panies would hold entertainments or give evenings at home. He said that a num- ber of the companies had not as yet de- cided on any date, but that the following companies would entertain on the dates given: Company C, Williai Quinn captain, October 21; Company D, Frank McCarthy captain, Oc- tober 3; Company H, Thomas Eccles captain, October 30; Company I, George Welsh captain, October 16; Company N, J. McBrien captal October 23; Company L, Frank Grimley ca taln, November 1; Company M, J. Riddell cap tain, November §; Company O, Thomas Cur- tin captain, November 11.

Power will give an evening at home, October 14, in the armory of Company L, Seventeenth and Howard streets. The following organizations have prom- ised to assist the League of the Cross Ca- dets by participating in the carnival: First Regiment, National Guard of California, Young Men's Institute, Young Men's Catholic Union, Knights of Columbus, Gaelic League, Anclent Order of Hibernians and Knights of the Red Branch.
