COURT REFUSES TO MAKE INJUNCTION PERPETUAL Decision Is of Vital Importance to the Tanners Out on btrike at Benicia. SUISUN, Dec. 28.—Superior Judge Buck- les has rendered his decision on-the de- murrer to a motion to make perpetual the temporary injunction recently granted'the firm of Kuliman, Salz & Co., against the striking union tanners. Judge Buckies sustained the demurre The demurrer was argued December In his decision Judge Buckles said: \ The defendants had an unquestiopable right to speak to and persuade, in a pegees able manner, the plaintiffs or any of the employes of said corporation, and thus try; to induce them to quit work, but they had no right to use force and violence as a ‘persuasive’ element, for the use of violence to accomplish that end Becomes coercive and at once destructive of the freedom and liberty of action of non- union employes, compelling them to act at the will of another and not as they please.

Dec. —The ship Spartan, co, went on Moran’s drydock last night to receive a new rud- der and other spars in consequence of her recent very rough trip up the coast. Though she sailed to Cape Flattery in seven days, it took her twenty-one days to reach Whatcom, her loading port. Be- fcre she could get inside of the straits strong winds arose and she was blown seaward seventy-five miles. During this | gale part of her rudder broke off, re- quiring most careful effort on the part of Cape Flattery. She had scarcely sighted the cape when another wind struck her and she was driven to sea again, this time losing eighty miles. The sea was so heavy that the tug Coleman was com- pelled to cut loose after being towed by the vessel for twelve hours. Three days later the Spartan beat her way back to the straits and was picked up by the tug Rabboni and towed to Whatcom. An ex- would be nec ry.

BOARDING HOUSE IS FIRED WHILE OCCUPANTS SLUMBER Five Persons Nearly Meet Death in Blaze Which Develops Heroine. BUsssrErc PeroTo. HEROIC YOUNG WOMAN WHO FOU AND SMOKE TO TURN IN IN A BERK EY f i & ALARM FOR AN INCENDIARY BLAZE BOARDING-HOUSE. JGHT HER WAY THROUGH FIRE ERKELEY, Dec.. 28.—Through the fiendish work ‘of a firebug the seven inmates of the La Tripp boarding house, 2106 Kiti- redge street, came n meeting death in flames at an early hour this morning. With fire rushing toward them and the halls filled with blinding smoke, men dnd womes groped their way to the streef, clad .only in their night robes, while all of their effects were engulfed in the furnace of flame which had so nearly been their death. The flames were not allowed to lick up the evidences left by the incendiary. Locked doors, lights burning where none should be and telltale heaps of inflam- mable material which had smoldered and gone out, are the certain evidences re- maining which point to some unknown fiend as the author of the blaze which en- dangered the lives of the occupants. Only last Saturday G. A. Wanger, the owner of the property, leased the dwelling to W. H. Patton. Besides himself, his wife and his daughter, Miss Alta Patton, the new proprietor had as boarders Miss Mary Bisbee, Miss Helen Daly, Muir Me- Kelvey and Caru Hart. These were the people who at 2:30 o’cleck this morning vrere hurried from their beds to the street, while the fldmes played havoc with the dwelling. MRS. PATTON SOUNDS ALARM. Mrs. Patton was the first to discover that danger hung over the heads of herself and her guests. She was awakened by the loud slamming of a door to find that ker rcom was full of stifling smoke. So dense was the cloud that she could not cry out, but had to rouse her guests by pounding on the floor with a chair. All of the inmates of the house were awakened by the persistent hammering. They struggled from their rooms to th hall, but so thick was the smoke that un- til the electric lights were turned on by the presence of mind of Miss Daly, they were unable to find their way to the street. It was in the confusion and excitement occasioned by the sudden arousing of the guests that Miss Helen Daly, a book- keeper in Samson’s Market, proved her- self to be a heroine ©of no mean order. Realizing that the presence of the city fire fighters could not be procured without [ ] FUNERAL OF MRS. FREMONT WILL TAKE PLACE TUESDAY LOS ANGELES, Dec. 28.—Arrangements for the funeral of the late Mrs. Jessie Benton Fremont, whose death occurred last night, have not yet been completed on account of a curious fact. It is known to members of her family that Mrs. Fre- mont left definite instructions in regard to the last rites over her remains. These instructions are in the safe deposit box of the family and can not be obtained until the bank opens to-morrow morning. It has been settled that the funeral will oc- cur Tuesday and other arrangements will be made to-morrow. Mrs. . Fremont's grandson, John C. Fremont Jt., who is a midshipman aboard the crulser New York, at present off Santa Barbara, was not notified of her death until to-day be- cause of the absence of the ship from port, RETURNS GUARANTEE TO HAYWARDS NATIVE SONS HAYWARDS, Dec. 28.—The Southern Pacific Company has allowed the claim of the Native Sons of the Golden West for the return of $110 which was deposited as a guarantee for a special train from Oak-' laid to Haywards during the recent street fafr held in the latter town. It wa: by the local managers of the fair that be- cause of a delay in sending out th", n many intending visitors were deterred n uld question and. therefore the money sh be returned. The Tailroad offic that view of the matter and the antee was refunded with the complim of the company. _ running to a box several blocks distant, she made her way through the reek of smoke to the telephone. There, with the flames at one end of the hall and the blinding smoke chgking her, she turned in the alarm, remaining until she was certain that.the call had been responded to. The volunteer fife department responded and after a long fight got the flames un- der control, but not until the whole in- terfor of the house had been®eompletely gutted. The front parlor, where the flames were raging fiercest, was found to be locked, although the folding doors had been left open when the family retired. The doors had to be battered down be- fore access to the flames could be gained. WORK OF INCENDIARY. Examination of the building this morn- ing showed unmistakable evidences of the work of a firebug. Besides the locked doors, a hole was found burned through the kitchen floor, although the rest of the kitchen was untouched by the fire. Fur- ther investigation showed that a fire had been kindled beneath the burned spot under the house. The most important evidence is given by McKelvey. He says: “I returned from San Francisco on the last train at 1:30 and was surprised on entering the house to find - that the light in the hall downstairs was burning. My curiosity led me to go through to the kitchen and there also I discovered a light burning. Since this was an un- usual thing, I was somewhat curious as to the cause, but did not investigate far- ther. 1 did not smell any smoke or see anything else suspicious, so I turned out the lights and went to bed.” Landlord Patton had himself turned out all of the lights before retiring. The fact that they were found burning shows that the incendiary had made a cool survey of the ground before applying the match. W. H. Patton, the proprietor of the house, is at a loss to assign any reason for the act of the incendiary, nor is he able to give any clew to the identity of the person who started the blaze. He said: “I have not the remotest idea who set fire to my house, nor can I find any rea- sen which might prompt the act. That the fire resulted from an incendjary’s work seems indisputable.” The evidences of incendiarism are ac- cepted by Fire Chief James Kenny as be- ing conclusive. e a2 2 e 2 S e T S ) CARBOLIC ACID BRINGS DEATH TO DEAF MUTE OAKLAND, De =John M. O'Malley, a deaf mute 30 years of age and unmar- ried, swallowed the contents of a two- cunce vial of carbolic acid this evening at bis home, 122042 Nineteenth avenue, and ed scon afterward. What prompted the deed his relatives can not explain. The indications point toward suicide, although O’'Malley ieft nothing to show that he was despondent or had contemplated death. He purchased the poison last Fri- day in a San Francisco drug store, ac- cording to a sales tag found in his coat. On a sheet of paper from a pad he car- ried were written the words ‘“‘whiskey’ and “My throat is scre.” O'Malley ate supper with his folks as usual this even- ing and went to his room. Shortly after 3 o’clock members of the family heard groans and found him writhing in agony. Drs. Lenz and Foster were called, but fcould do nothing. O'Malley had poured the poison into a glass and threw the vial out of the window. He was a native of Sunol, and was the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. O’'Malley. For several years he had been employed as a laborer for the Oak- land Gas, Light and Heat Company. The Coroner has charge of the case. —————————— The Unexplored Universe.

FLAMES BREAK (S OUT IN CHURCH| GREETS GENERAL Morning Worship Is In- terrupted by an Alarm of Fire. Thirty-Fourth-Street Metho- dists Are Disturbed at Devotions. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Dec. 23. Services this morning at the Thirty- fourth-street Methodist ' Chureh, corner Thirty-fourth and Market streets, were interrupted by the outbreak of flames in the roof of the structure. The pastor, the Rev. Luther D. Ma- hone, had just opened the morning wor- £hip when some members of the congre- gation discovered the smoke arising from the fire. Quickly an alarm was sounded from box 235 at the corner of Thirty-sixth and Market streets and the department promptly responded. The fire was kept within bounds and was extinguished with little damage to the edifice. After the firemen had departed the in- terrupted services were regumed. The firc was caused by an overheated chim- ney from a stove in use to warm the auditorium. ACTRESS DOLLIE EARLE SHIELDS HER ILENTITY Recognized as Dollie Allen, Whose Grandfather Was Very Wealthy. PHILADELPHIEA, Dec. 28.—Dollie Earle, the actress, who last fiight committed sui- cide in her dressing-room at a burlesque theater here, was to-day identified as Dollie Allen, daughter of Mrs. T. J. Allen of Rochester, N. Y. The identification was made by Mrs. F. Meyers of this city, who saild she had known .the actress since childhood. . Mrs. Meyers stated also that Miss Allen was married to Frank A. Bauersmith, a New York saloon proprietor. Her grand- father was John T. Allinger, who, accord- ing to Mrs. Meyers, was a wealthy mer- chunt of Rochester, and who at his death left his business to T. J. Allen, the girl's father. Dollie Earle, as she was known on the stage, formerly sang with some of the leading comic opera companies, but about eight years ago her voice failed and she appeared with various burlesque com- panies. The Coroner has not yet heard from any of her relatives. MASCAGNI CLINGS TO AMERICAN SOIL Agrees to Temporarily Direct Orches- tra and Give Another Concert.

Hallelujahs and Shoutings of the Faithful Fill His Ears. Oakland Office San Franeisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Deec. 2. Hallelujahs, the blare of brass instru- ments and the songs of the red-jerseyed and poke-bonncted resounded in street and auditorium to-day, all in homor of General William Booth, the commander and idol of the Salvation Army. It was a great day for the soldiers of the great cause and they ' came from everywhere to join in the welcome to the grand oid man of the army. The general made three addresses, morning, afternoon and evening, each time arousing the faithful to a high pitch of ~enthusiasm and winning many converts. He seemed to be even more vigerous than when he was here five years ago, and many marveled that his seventy-four years had ieft so light an impress. At first his voice was weak and husky, but as he went on he seemed to gather strength and to speak again with his old-time vigor. The reception started »ff with a parade in the morning. Starting from the new Salvation Army citadel on Ninth street, it was marshaled through the principal streets by Staff Captain Andrew Craw- Yord, who led it finally to the Macdon- oug Theater. There were a thousand sol- diers in line, representing the commands of nearly every city in the State. The provincial staff captain from San Fran- cisco marched at the head of the pro- cession. The services at the theater were led by Colonel Higgins of New York, while Colonel John Lawley, General Beooth's aid de camp, led the singing. General Booth talked earnestly of the sinfulness of an ungodly life, and his exhortations were the means of bringing many to the penitential row of chairs in front of the stage. In the afternoon a ‘great crowd fllled the theater, when the services of the morning were repeated. General Booth's text was taken from the Episties of John, who, ‘'he said, was the easiest of all Christ’s disciples to comprehend. He said in part: The great problem is to keep people saved when they are saved. The great question is, Are you saved to-day? There is a great deal of misunderstanding about sin. A great many people think they can do as they piease with God so long as they do not do some great dark deed. They forget their selfish ways, their untruths and their little deceits, thinking they are not sins. But John says all sin is the transgression of the law—the law of Jesus and of God. So when a man does anything contrary to the law he is committing a sin. All unrightecusness is_sis If you will open your eves you will see what sin It is of the devil. And the way to conquer sin and the devil is to shake them off and confess your errors to the Savior and to your God. That is the way to this wonderful salvation that will make you so happy. Another great crowd filled the theater this evening and enthusiasm overflowed. Greater interest was added to the meet- ing by the presence of Consul Mrs, Booth-Tucker, who announced the hymns and delivered a short address. General Booth spoke again and his words had the effect of winning many to -epentance. LINER ENTERS LA dUAm Maracaibo Is Permitted to Land Passengers and Mail. .
