Adjutant Power then introduced the iritual director of the league, the Rev. Father Philip O'Ryan, who administered the temperance pledge. Then came the presentation of candidates to Col- onel Power. The colone said that by their pledge the candidates had become soldiers of temperance and he re- minded them that the league demanded of them not alone loyalty to the cause but exemplary conduct, strict obedience to orders and zeal. The colonel further said that military discipline would be required | and thefr conduct must be that of Chris- tian gentlemen MAKE SOLEMN PLEDGE.

Archbishop: The League of the Cross extends a most hearty welcome to your Grace on your return to San Francisco. Of the in this city who are debtors to your n zeal and priestly labors the members League of the Cross owe most to your it was you who laid the foundations of ears ago.

We thank you for this evidence of our continued friendship toward the League the Cross and the youth of San Francisco. In conclusion we Wwish your e many years of usefulness for religion, morality and bumanity. We are delighted that you are in our midst once more and we promise you that shall try to be worthy of your friendship and support ai of the cause, Archbishop Montgomery next assured the “t as he called them, of the great d ht he experienced in being able to particivate in the exercises. True it was, he said, that he had started the league, but, sald the Archbishop, almost any one could begin an undertaking, but it took courage, muscle and a thousand things to carry out the idea. WISDOM OF UNDERTAKING. Homor, he said. was due the executive committee of the League of the Cross. Many present that night could remem- ber the initial days and the anxiety and labor that attended the formation of the cadets of the league, and the wisdom of the undertaking, he continued, was ap- parent that night. There was not a man or woman in San Francisco but what knew of the league and admired its good work in the cause of temperance, and he ventured to say that there was not a saloon-keeper who did not admire the league and what it stood for, The prin- al duty of the members was obedience, sald his Grace, and discipline and order and the rules must be kept sacred. The Archbishop paid a compliment to the ca- dets, he having heard of their admirable | behavior when on their excursions, which was a credit to themselves as young men and Catholics. His Grace told the mem- | bers of the league that they were hardly aware of the full amount of good they | were doing in the cause of temperance, and begged that they would abstain from visiting any place wherein liquor was oid. His Grace denied that he had any but the kindliest feelings for the saloon- keeper. He was sorry for him. Many a saloon-keeper, he said, went down upon his knees and took the pledge of temper- ance. 4 By being temperate, by following the rules of the League of the Cross, said his Grace, they paid the greatest honor to their families, to their church and to their country. Montgomery asked that God would bless and keep them in the way they had started. Creates a Scene in Church. A woman who gave her name at the Emergency Hospital as Lizzie Powers created a scene in St. Ignatius Church on Hayes streets yesterday forenoon by her odd actions. After being detained in the detention ward for a short period she quieted down and was taken away by her brother, U.

A consoling | memory to the family of Mr. Bushnell is the knowledge that whilst engaged with | the cares of life he did not fail to remem- ber the duty of being prepared for the moment in which he would be called to give an account of his earthly years.” At the conclusion of the mass the re- mains were conveyed to the Elks' lodge- rooms on Sutter street, where the beauti- ful ritual for the dead was read. The front portion of the hall, where the re- mains reposed during the service, was filled with floral tributes. Fragrant flow- ers and verdant ferns and foliage arrang- ed in attractive designs were sent by the various clubs of which Mr. Bushneil was |a member.

Mrs. Cullen, the Mrs. Maude Baldwin that had been, broke the news without the ald of her latest husband. She explained that he was afraid to trust himself with his papa-in-law again and had gone to a smcker at the Rellance Club until the way could be smoothed out. But Father Weir subsided into pacific indifference when informed of the newest develop- ments in the embroglio and he received Mrs. Cullen with a “God bless you, my child.” Then he forgot all about how he bad tried to annihilate Mrs. Baldwin and her lover, young Cullen, by means of a pistol and extended the parental blessing in these words: “I wish you all the happiness in the world and I hope God will treat you bet- ter than he has me.” Mrs. Baldwin and Cullen disappeared the day after Weir shot at them and went straight to Reno, where they were mar- | ried. They contemplate a honeymoon in | the southland. AMATEUR SLEUTH WANTED FOR ATTEMPTED EXTORTION Mrs. P. Anderson Swears Out War- i rant for Arrest of George A. Wold. As a result of the disclosures made in Police Judge Mogan's court Monday the Judge yesterday instructed Mrs. P. An- derson of Baden to swear to a complairt, charging George A. Wold, an amatbur de tective from Texas, with attempted eox- tortion under section 524 of the Penal Code. Wold promised to be in court yes terday, but failed to make his appearance. The charge against Wold is based upon the fact that he called last Saturday upon Mrs. Anderson, whose daughter, Mapd, was wanted on a charge of felony em- bezzlement for stealing a trunk belonging | to Sylvia Messe, 119 Turk street, and asked for 330 to give to twq local detec- | | tives who were waiting In the Linden | Hotel, otherwise Maud would be arresied. | Wold's trunk is being held by Mrs. An- | derson for a debt of $35 for board and lodging. The charge against Miss Anderson was | dismissed, as the evidence showed ‘hat she took the trunk as security for money due her by Miss Messe and that there was no money in the trunk, as alleged. The Judge thought it would teach the complaining witness a lesson if a warrant were sworn to for her arrest on a charge of perjury. ——— Every One May Compete.

Special Dispateh to The Call. ~“SACRAMENTO, March 24.—Officers are scouring Sacramento and adjoining coun- tles for a laborer named John Anderson, who is accused of having brutally at- tacked Mrs. Herman Winters of this city last Saturday evening. The crime was committed on the Haggin grant, near Ar- cade. Mrs, Winters is a young woman, | the wife of Herman Winters, formerly a | who resides on H street. lin ill health for some time. Last Satur- day afternoon she wandered away from her home and walked out the railroad track on the Haggin grant. The Sher- iff's officers who have been making an in- vestigation have found out that while she was walking along the road near Arcade station she passed several men, who were sitting by the track. In the crowd was Anderson, who used to work at the gas house in this city and also in the ship- yards in Washington. Shortly after the woman passed, Anderson arose and :walked away, saying he was going to | Lincoln. Some time .afterward the men heard the screams of the woman and when .they made a search they found | Mrs. Winters, who evidently had been at- tacked by Anderson. Word was at once telephoned to the Mrs. Winters. She was brought to the | county jail and has been there ever since Saturday, occupying a cell in the insane ward. Anderson is described as being & man over six feet in height, weighing in | the neighborhood of 2 pounds and wear- ing a blonde mustache. He had on the rough clothes of a laborer.

As the conviction carries a prior conviction on a charge of burglary the maximum penalty is life imprison- ment, In 18% Eldridge became known to the San Franclsco police as “The Borer.” A series of daring crimes were committed | effected by boring around the keyhole and removing the lock. Silverware was in- variably taken. This clew eventually led to Eldridge’s arrest and conviction. When Eldridge secured his release a few vears ago he married a good woman and although the police kept him under strict surveillance they were unable to detect anything wrong in the habits and actions of the ex-convict. Eldridge's wife re- cently left on a visit for the East and when this restraining influence was re- mcved he fell from grace. He will be sentenced Monday.

KESWICK, March 24.—Somewhere in San Francisco is a little girl who is heir to the estate of Adolph Garman, who *was murdered here February 22 by George R. Gallavar. The Coroner has been making every effort to discover the address of any heir | or heirs of the murdered man. He has recelved from A. F. Williams of Suisun a letter stating that he knew Garman well a few years ago and from him learned that he had a divorced wife who was living in San Francisco and who had their little girl.. The wife has since mar- ried, but Williams did not know her pres- ent address or even her new name. The little girl will receive considerable prop- erty- if she can be found. e g > Fires of Halemaumau Are Blazing.

The fountain of lava springs from a basin seemingly fifty feet in diameter, and, of course, it s much greater, owing to the fact that the floor of the crater is 1800 feet below the | rim. x R YU News About Laws Deferred.

CAMPAIGN IN YOLO NOW WAXES VIGOROUS WOODLAND, March 24.—This is the last day on which nominations for mu- nicipal offices can be filed. Both parties have full tickets in the field and for the office of City Marshal there is also an independent ticket. The question of sa- loon or no saloon will also be submitted to the voters. The Prohibitionists opened their campaign to-night with what they | called a non-partisan meeting, but it was only such in name, as the Prohibition or- gan has indorsed the Republican candi- dates for City Trustees. It is not likely that either of the old parties will hold | public meetings, but, the campaign will | be vigorous. The Democrats held their convention first and on the supposition that a non-partisan ticket would be agreed upon so far as City Trustees and mem- bers of the Board of Education are con- cerned made but one nomination for each | of those positions. the following night nominated a full tick- et. The Democrats have completed the ticket by naming R. H. Beamer for City Frustee. He was persistent in declining, but when a letter signed by more than | half the voters and requesting him to stand was presented to him he reluctant- ly consented. His election is generally conceded. The great fight will be on the | question of saloon or no saloon. The | election will be held on April 13. Former Governor Arromiz.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, March 24. Mrs. Jennie King of 431 Avoh avenue and her babe died"this morning under distressful circumstances just after Mrs. King's child was born, and George King, the woman’s husband, is a prisoner at| the City Prison awaiting the outcome of the inquest by a Coroner’s jury. King | undertook to treat the mother in her ill-| ness and did not summon a physician un- til too late, with the result that both mother and child passed away. Coroner Mehrmann investigated and requested the | police to arrest King. | Mrs. King's child was born at an early | hour this morning.
