The Rev. Mr. Adams maintains that he has not overcolored the facts and that in- temperance among women, and especially among society women in Sacramento and elsewhere in California, is increasing at | an alarming rate. He asserts that In or- liquor, and that strong drink figures largely on home tables and at social func- tions. The Rev. C. L. Miel, rector of the fash- jonable St. Paul's Episcopal Church, which numbers 600 members, to-night gave The Call a strong statement in op- position to the views publicly expressed by the Rev. Mr. Adams, pastor of the | Calvary Baptist Church. Mr. Miel said | he was at a loss to know where Mr. Adams had secured his data. Continuing, he said: From time to time in the last twenty years have heard similar statements to those re- ntly uttered by Mr. Adams.

April There was a spirited contest in Judge | Hall's department of the Superior Court | this morning over the possession of the | Fark Hotel property. situated at Turk | and Taylor streets in San Francisco. The | Fotel is a part of the estate of the late | John Schumacher and is to be sold and | distributed with the rest of the estate to a large number of heirs. A bid of $75,000 for the property had been | ade by John Schwartz, and Judge Hall, vhen the sale came up before him for confirmation, asked for more bids. Attor- ney BEisner for Rosensheim Bros. imme- diately raised the bid 10 per cent and Schwartz dropped out of the contest. | F. J. Madison of the firm of Madison & | Eurke, real estate agents, came into the | biading at this juncture and in jumps ' of $200, $300 and $500 the figure was run up from $§2,560, Elsner’s first bid, to $87,750, | at which point Madison asked the cour: | to continue the matter over until to-mor- row, so as to give them time to consult | with his colleagues as to whether they | wished to go higher. Eisner objected | strenuously, but in th> interest of the e tate the Judge granted Madison's 1y quest upon the condition that he would deposit a check for 10 per cent of the amount as a guarantee of good faith, which he did. The estate is valued at about $150,000, | which goes to Shumacher's five sisters | and a number of nephews and nieces, Herman Miese Sr., Henry Stut and Henry Evers Sr., executors of the will, to-day filed their account of the sale of the per- gonal property, which brought $31.645.

PRETTY WOMAN SHOOTS HERSELF Mysterious Act of Sup- posed Daughter of « Statesman. Dying Girl Said to Be Child of Former Kentucky Senator. L la el r Spectal Dispatch to The Call. SEATTLE, Wash., April 27.—Lying in & room in Providence Hospital with a self- inflicted wound in her body which may terminate fataily, is a strikingly pretty young woman, Miss M. T. Deboe, said to be a daughter of former United States Senator Deboe of Kentucky. The woman tried to kill herself last night In her | apartments on First avenue, near Cherry street. Facts are now coming to light which may connect seve.al persons more or less prominent in business affairs in Seattle with the name of this mysterious woman. The shooting took place about 9 o'cleck last night in room 39, where the woman lived. She left a letter stating that de- spondency over ill-health caused her to attempt suicide. Dr. J. Eugene Jordan knew Miss Deboe better than any one else in Seattle. He rooms in the same build- ing where she did. Concerning sensa- tional rumors, Dr. Jordan said: “The stories about my connection with Miss Deboe are false from start to finish. I took pity on the girl and have acted as her friend. She had been very sick lately and I suppose that is the reason she tried to kill herself. It is very unfortunate that the shooting occurred. The girl had | been out of her head at times, owing .to her condition, and I suppose that while temporarily insane she sent the bullet into her body. ‘‘As far as I know, she came to this city with a man named J. C. Huyler. As I have been told, he brought her here with the understanding they were to be | married. 1 have been informed that the to the effect that they were not legally married.” “Dr. Jordan is the' best friend I ever had,”” sald Miss Deboe, “and no one has any right to circulate stories about us.” —————————— Boycott the Western Union.

The Russian Government has resolved to persevere to the end, the correspondent actual hostilities. Russia does not appre- | hend, however, that the present misun- derstanding will lead to war. The Peking correspondent of the Times this morning says that he is unable to confirm his reference yesterday to Mon- golia. He adds that Russia alleged that any change in the administration of Mon- golia would provoke a disturbance likely to affect neighboring territory. i “Russia’s real motive,” continues the | eorrespondent, “is to prevent China do- | ing anything to strengthen her position { in-Mongolia, which doubtless” will be the { next Chinese dependency to be absorbed by Russia. { “I can also confirm the other demands as telegraphed, but the third demand, concerning the exclusive employment of Russians, comprises all Mongolia. [tspect- | fles, as an example, that if China wishes to employ foreign mining experts in Man- churia, Mongolia and apparently Chili— perts must be Russians. It further spec fies that the Commissioner of Customs | | and the Health Officer at Newchwang | must be Russians.” i | Practically Removes Grounds for| i Protest by America. | | WASHINGTON. April 27.—Much iater- { est was shown here to-night in the dis patch from St. Petersburg giving a cat- | egorical answer by the Russian Foreign Office to inquiries regarding the eight de- mands which are said to have been made on China in connection with Manchuria. It was regarded as of great impertance and, if borne out by subsequent informa- | tion through diplomatic channels, will | give general satisfaction and meet in a large degree the desires of our Govern ment. It was in relation to the first two de- | mands that the United States was inter- ested particularly and it was these de- mands which prompted it to addre: notes of inquiry and protest to St. Peters burg and Peking. They involved severe restrictions uon American trade and the United States therefore was prompt protest. The assurance of the Russian Foreign Office, contained in the St. Pe- tersburg dispatch, would seem to set at rest any serious menace in that respect. | The replies of the Russians regarding the other demands also caused a fegling of | | relief here, and the hope of the officials ! is that Russia’s position is fully and cor- | rectly set forth. | No official confirmation along the lines | indicated has yet come to hand from Min- ister McCormick, who last week was di- | rected to make inquiries of the Russian | Foreign Office regarding the attitude of | that Government as to Manchuria.

Robert Telfer Probably Fa- tally Wounded by S. Yaromazes. | Latter Becomes Enraged at Custom- ers Who Refuse to Pay in Advance and Attacks Them. A brutal crime was committed shortly after 10 o'clock last night at the corner j of Fifth and Market streets, which was witnessed by more than 100 people. Socrates Yaromazes, a Greek, whe serves lunches from a small wagon on the corner of Fifth and Market streets, prob- ably fatally stabbed Robert Telfer, who | resides at 708 Webster street, and who Is employed as a clerk at the Union Iron ‘Works. Teifer was in the company of two | triends, Joseph Nolan and William Nicol, | when the crime was committed. The three | young men had been spending the evening | together, and as they proceeded up Fifth | street they noticed Yaromazes' lunch | wagon near Market street. Wishing to purchase sandwiches, they | approached the wagon and asked that | they be served. Yaromazes demanded that they pay their money in advance. At this the young men became indignant and a quarrel followed. Yaromazes became enraged and seiz- | ing a large bread knife suddenly sprang | from his wagon and immediately attacked young Telfer. Yaromazes struck Telfer a _terrific blow upon the head, inflicting a horrible | cut upon his victim's forehead. Telfer grappled with his assailant, and during the struggle which followed was again seriously stabbed in the right hand and left breast. Weakened from the loss of blood, Telfer attempted to disengage himself from his | assailant. It was at this time that Yaro- maszes dealt Telfer what is belleved to be a fatal wound. Wieiding the long knife with great force, he plunged the weapon several inches into Teifer’s left shoulder, severing an artery. At this point Telfer sank to the ground, | and the Greek, realizing what he bad done, threw the knife to the pavemeat and turned and fled across Market street in the direction of Eddy. At this time Officers McQuaid and Pe- ters arrived on the scene, and being in- focrmed by witnesses as to ‘the direction the murderous Greek had taken they gave chase. In a cigar store at the corner of Market | and Eddy streets they found Yaromazcs, his white apron covered with blood. As the officers advanced upon him he took a pocket knife from his pocket and threw it behind the counter. The pocket-knife was found and Yaromazes was taken into custody. In the meantime a number of citizens assisted Telfer into a near-by saloon and from there to a drug store at 1016 Market street, from which place a call was sent in for the ambulance. The patrol wagon from the City Hall station answered and Telfer, in & dying conditifn, was hurried to the Central Emergency Hospital. Dr. Harvey at the hospital made every effort to save the young man's life. At the requést of Teifer a Catholic priest was called in and extreme unction was administered. On the operating table it was found that Telfer was suffering from incised wounds on the forehead, the left side, the left hand, the left shoulder and the left breast | In custody of Detectives Taylor and Ryan, Yaromazes was taken to the Cen- | tral Emergency Hospital, where he was treated for an abrasion of the right cheek and a knife wound on each wrist. Yaromazes stated that he lived at 310% Minna street and he has been selling lunches from his wagon at Fifth and Mar- ket streets for the past thirteen months. He has a wife and four children lving in Greece. He says that the three young men came to his wagon and demanded to be served with lunch, but refused to pay him. Yaromazes, who speaks but | poor English, says the three men cursed him, and when he jumped out of the wagon to the street they attacked him and one of them drew a knife and at- | tempted to stab him. Later Yaromazes identified Willlam col, who was one of the young men with Telfer, and who Is employed on the | steamer Mariposa as a water tender, as | the man who, he claims, attempted to | stab him. | Three Salvation Army men, Alonzo | Loudermilk, Edward Coffey and M. Smith, were returning from a meeting and had reached Fifth and Market streets when the fight was in progress. They | state that they saw the Greek leave his | wagon with a large knife, and saw him | attack Telfer. No one assisted Telfer | when he was attacked. | It was during the struggle between the | two that Yaromazes received his wounds, | they say. After Telfer sank to the ground Yaro- mazes threw the knife to the ground, and stamping on it with his foot, broke the blade in two. Both parts of the knife were found by a citizen. Yaromazes de- nies that he owns the knife or that he | | stabbed any one. ——————————— 1 WASHINGTON, April 27.—The Civil Ser- | viee Comission to-morrow will announce that | the President has included all the school teach- ers in the Philippine service within the classi- | fied eivil service.
