TN PLANS 10 0 SHIPPING a Proposed Bill to Regulate Im- migration. I Will Prevent Travel on the Vessels of Foreign Com- panies. VIENNA, Dec. 21.—Early in January the Government proposes to introduce in the Reichsrath an important bill to restrict and regulate emigration.” One of the main objects of this measure will be the Austrian vessels from Trieste instead of permitting them to travel by German and other forelgn steamship lines. The Fremdenblatt, a semi-official organ, warmly supports the Government bill in the interests of home shipping. This pa- per estimates that in the last five years Austro-Hungarian emigrants have taken from the country $25,000,000, the bulk of which has been paid to foreign railroads and steamship lines. It urges the im- portance of emigrants retaining a sense | of their Austrian citizenship as long as | possible, and thinks the proposed bill will assist to this end by enabling the Govern- ment to protect the emigrants beyond the first stages of their journey. This new measure will largely follow the lines of the Hungarian bill now under pre- liminary consideration. The supporters of this bill demand that emigrants not only embark at Fiume, but insist that they be carried on’ Hungarian ships manned by Hungarian crews and furnished with Hungarian supplies. Lectures on ‘“Mental Colors.” Dr. O. N. Orlow delivered a lecture on “The Mental Colors’ last evening in up- per Golden Gate Hall before a large au- dgierce. The speaker asserted that each ore of the senses has {ts particular color and that by the knowledge of these colors \d their uses we should be able to in- crease the forces for our betterment and | decrease the forces of cur undoing which | surround us through life. He further | cortended that instead of five or seven | senses we have eleven, and that, in time | to come, by understanding these senses by the aid of colors, we would be able| to sclve phenomena not yet understood. — e Drunken Man’s Awful Crime.

LEES DIES, BUT FAME AS DETECTIVE WILL LONG LIVE Former Chief of Police, Whose Work in the Dark World of Crime Ranks With That of ‘the Foremost Sleuths of the Century, Succumbs at His Home to a Complication of Ailments | | | | 1 1 | VETERAN DETECTIVE WHO DIED YESTERDAY AND WHOSE NAME WAS FAMOUS WORLD OVER. 5 | - - SATAH W. LEES, ex-Chief of Police, a veteran officer and one of the most skillful detectives of the century, is dead. Death overtook the pioneer detective at his home, 1022 Pine street, yesterday at the break of day. A complication of diseases—abscess of the ear and ‘grip, augmented by an ail- ment of long standing—thus ended the career of a man remarkable for his clev- erness in ferreting out criminals and frus- trating their plans. Commencing life as a mechanical engi- neer, I. W. Lees, who afterward became identified with many of the world’'s most famous cases, soon discovered his calling as a worker in the world of crime. His first success was accomplished in the shop where he mastered the. intricacies of machinery. It was ih a murder case. He succeeded in bringing to the gallows the first man ever legally executed in San Franclsco. Tees, who was connected with the San Francisco police for a period of forty- six years, expired after a short illness. Though he had been alling for some time his wonderful energy never failed. When the shadows of death were lingering over him he aisplayed his last evidence of grit and determination. Conscious to the last he scorned the decision of attending phy- sicians that the end was near, and, brav- ing himself for a battle with the dark and mysterious foe, he told those who had gathered at his bedside that he would live in the face of the ravages of disease. OLD AGE AGAINST HIM. But age was against him, and he sue- cumbed, passing away peacefully, with- cut pain or a murmur. The history of Lees’ life is a romantic one. He was born in Lancaster, Eng- land, in 1830, and served his apprentice- ship as a_mechanical engineer in Jersey City, N. J. When the first cry of gold came from California he responded to it and with John Nightingale came around the Horn in 1849. After working in the rces for a short time he came to this city, then a hamlet, and secured employ- ment in what is now the Union Iron Woerks. The late Peter Donahue was one of his companions and worked in .the same shop. He assisted in constructing the steamer Mint, one of the first turned out at the works. Soon afterward he returned to Brook- lyn, where his parents resided, on the steamer Tennessee, He was to return to the coast on the same boat, but fortunate- ly missed it, for ship and passengers went to the bottom of the ocean in a gale off the coast of South America. While in the East he married. His wife died a few years ago, but two children, Mrs. E. A. Leigh and Fred W. Lees, survive him. The ex-Chief’s first work as a dbtective was accomplished in 1552. He was then employed at the iron works. He secured evidence which convicted Jose Forner of the murder of Jose Rodriguez, The kill- ing took place at the corner of Front and Mission streets. Its mysterious features Were smoothed out by the young mechan- {c and the slayer was sent to the gallows— the first man to be executed by an order of court in San Francisco. GOES ON THE FORCE., On October 28, 1853, Lees was appointed to the police force. He said he changed his occupation to get a rest, but that it was the biggest mistake he ever made in his life. He was a patrolman just three weeks when promotion came. He pa- trolled Stockton street during the first week, then he was transferred to Kearny street, and finally made an assistant cap- tain of police, in the detective depart- ment. In June, 1857, he was made a reg- ular captain and served in that capacity until he was chosen chief of the depart- ment on April 7, 1897. In his career as a detective Lees evinced a wonderful power in discovering things unique. in criminal history. He was a man of culture, though his life was as- gociated with the criminals. of his time. He was famliar with ancient and modern history, and his library was one of the most complete in the eity. His character was one of firmness and courage, yet he %4 was kind, and his nature rebelled against injustice. One of the most famous cases handled by Lees was the Durrant -murder case. Two young girls were slain in the Emmanuel Baptist Church, and by skill- fully forging the chain of circumstantial evidence around W. H. T. Durrant, the young medical student paid the highest penalty of the ldw for his crime. After the case had concluded the detective made the following statement regarding his work: FORGOT CRIME AT HOME. I don’t allow a volume of crime to get into my home. I try to forget that phase of my life when I go home. It's really not a pleasant business, anxious as so many amateur de- tectives are to get Into the profession. 1 can'( see what attracts them to it. It means work all the time—the hardest kind of work, both mental and physical; it means the sacrifice of home comforts and entertainments and de- lights. You must always be ready for work. Criminals refuse to consult your convenience in the perpetration of their crimes. And suc- cess| That only comes after years of the hardest kind of toil, and perhaps not. at all. I bave known men fo spend their lives as de- tectives and never amount to anything. A man needs not only natural talent, which is essential for success in all professions, but he must come (o his task gifted with a natural aptitude for logic, for reasoning out from cause to effect—in a_word, with a genius for shed- ding the noonday sun on the midnight dark- ness that he may unweave the tangled threads of_crime. He must be systematic as well in his meth- ods, in his summing up and presenting a case. When all the evidence is in he must know how to present it to the lawyers—how to lay it be- fore the District Attorney in such a way that it will be most effective when presented as evi- dence. He must know something of the law as well. He must know what is evidence and what is not evidence. He must have good judgment and tect-—never talk too much or foo little. He must be able to study human nature in- telligently. and know something of human mo- tives and desires. Perhaps no one detective, however successful he may have beem, comi- bines all these qualities completely, but 1 have been asked -how the modern detective should be equipped and T have answered to the best of my ability. Lees trailed’ Tom Wallace, who, with accomplices, stole the famous painting, “Elaine,” across the continent. This was’ one of the first cases that made him cel- etrated. During the days of the vigi- lantes he disclosed the ballot-box fraud, but was obliged to surrénder his evidence. Later he detected and convicted J. B. MecDonald for counterfeiting $5 Bank of Fngland notes. Baron von Rothsehild, on Lehalf of thé bank, presented him with a case containing prints of all coins made in Great Britain in 1887, with medals of the Queen's jubilee, as a token of appre- ciation for his work. ‘While in the performance of his duties Lees visited nearly every known land. He remained a long time in London and made a study of humanity in the slums and in higher spheres. He was a close — e observer and little escaped him. Once in pessession of a clew his tremendous determination and grit asserted itself and tha solution of what seemed impossible problems was his reward. \ While captaln of detectives Lees solv- | ed the mystery of the murder of B. Hirsh | by Edward Bonney on the San Leandro | road. He proved that the murderer had | driven around with the body of his vie- | tim for hours before disposing of it. The! case of Wright Leroy, who killed Nich- olas Skerritt, attracted much attention and the detective soon afterward brought Moses Tate, who murdered Billman, tfe | cattleman, to Jjustice. While trailing Michael Wallace, who killed William Lauretta and then threw the body into | a well at Market and Valencia streets, Lees broke his leg and was confined to his heme several months. GAINS 'ADDITIONAL rAME. He galned additional fame by the cap- ture of Charles Kyle, the slayer of a wealthy Frenchman. To Lees must be given the credit for the establishing and maintaining of the local rogues’ gallery, one of the most complete in the world. When he was retired from the force on | January 2, 1900, he turned over to the city.| a valuable collection, which has been 0” much service to the department since. This collection was an enormous one, containing the photographs, informa- tion concerning the antecedents, criminal records and close descriptions of nearly | every known crook in the world/ white, black and yellow. There were 14,74# pict- ures and records of men and women, ex- clusive of 2570 Chinese and Japanese. The ex-Chief's criminal library was also a splendid one. He owned hundreds of vol- umes on the various phases of crime. Since he was succeeded by Chief of Po- lice Sullivan, Lees has conducted a pri- vate detective agency, and always volun- teered assistance to the regular force in unraveling knotty problems. He worked | on the Selby Smelting Works robbery and gave advice In several of the most important crimes that have occurred within the last two years. Lees was credited with being a- million- aire. In recent years he worked not for ccmpensation, but because his nature re- quired that he follow some occupation. His braln was tireless, and idleness was | something it never knew. The funeral will take place from the Masonic Temple to-morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. The meeting in connection with the po- lice widows' and orphans' fund, whigh was to have been held in the Alcazar | building last night, was postponed out of respect to the memory of the late ex- Chief. @ i e @ BRAVE THE RAIN FOR A GALLOP President and Family Ride Horseback in a Storm. \ RAPIDAN, Va., Dec. 2L'=In a driving | rain the President, Mrs. Roosevelt and four of their children, accompanied by their host, Joseph Wilmer, went horse- back riding this afternoon. - The party left the Wilmer mansion shortly after 3 o’clock this afternoon and did not return until 5 o'clock. It has rained here hard | and incessantly since an early hour last evening. This morning the President and his family and Mr. Wilmer drove to the picturesque little Episcopal church in Rapidan to attend divine services. The trip was made In a big carriage capable | of seating comfortably ten persons. It | was drawn by four horses, Mr. Wilmer | himself driving. Not more than a score | of worshipers braved the storm to attend the service. No reference was made by the rector, Dr. Cross, to the President. At the conclusion of the services Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt were greeted cordial- | 17 by the pastor and the few members of | the parish, the introduction being made by Mr. Wilmer. Owing to the severe rainstorm the wild turkey hunt for to-morrow morning has been abandoned. The President and his family will return to Washington to-mor- row morning. The special train will leave Rapidan at 9 o'clack and is due to arrive in Washington at 11:25. New Railroad From Spokane. SPOKANE, Dec. 2.—The Spokesman- Review will say to-day: From sources which admit of no question, the Spokes- man-Review learns that Senator George Turner and D, C. Corbin have made ar- rangements for the construction of a road from here to the Canadian boundary line in Northern Idaho, where it will join the Crows Nest Pass system of the Can- adian Pacific Railroad. Interests friend- ly to the Canadian Pacific will supply funds with which to build the 200 miles of road. —_——— The Czar of Russia’s suite consists of 173 persons, of whom 73 are general and 76 extra aids-de-camp.
