April 20.—James Burke and Frank Metzger, who on the night of February 18 held | up a Pasadena electric car in this city and robbed more than thirty | passengers, must spend the remainder of their days behind the walls of San Quen- tin prison. Judge Smith sentenced them to-day to life imprisonment, giving them { showing them not the slightest considera- tion. Burke, who was the leader of the palr, was sentenced first. He had pleaded guilty and made an effort to save his pal. He declared, when asked If he had any reason to offer why sentence should not be passed upon him, that Metzger was In- cent. The court took no stock in his and told him so. It had come to | the information of the court from other prisoners in the County Jail that before | their trial Burke had tossed a coin to determine which of them should admit * | his guilt and then swear that the other v | was innocent. With this in mind and | with the positive identification of both | men by a dozen or more of their vietims, Burke's effort profited Metzger nothing | and Metzger, too, was sentenced to life imprisonment.

SAN DIEGO, Cal., April 29.—Unable to bear the shame and disgrace of a charge of felonious assault for which he was ar- rested at Pomona on Saturday last Carl J, F. Schultz, an old, one-armed shoe- maker of that place, came to this city yesterday and committed suicide this morning by hanging himself in an open shed near Twenty-third and Newton ave- nues. The rope used by the suicide was a new one, probably purchased for the purpose. One end of it was tied to the raft- ers, and ip the other was a slip noose. Schultz stood on an old chopping block in the barn, and after adjusting the rope, swung off and deliberately strangled to death. In a pocket of the suicide’s coat was found a note, written in German and reading as follows: : There was nothing left to me. Forgive me all, and you, my dear Annie, I hope the Lord wiil help you to overcome 'it. Lizete, stay with your mother; be good to her until death. C. 'HULTZ. Schultz served in the German navy and had lived in Pomona for several years, where he had always borne a good repu- tation. POMONA, Cal., April 20.—Carl Schultz, the shoemaker who committed suicide in San Diego this morning, was out on $500 bail, pending examination on a criminal charge. He was arrested on Saturday on the charge of having assaulted the 9- year-old daughter of Mayor Poston of this city, and on Monday of this week disappeared. It is supposed that he went direct to San Diego. Schultz had been in Pomona for two or three years, living here with his wife and daughter. When his case was called in the Justice’s Court this morning it was found that he had disappeared and his bail money was declared forfeited. The crime for which they were sen-| tenced to-day was the first of a series of streetcar hold-ups which have been com- | mitted in Los Angeles this year. It was the holding up and robbing of a car on | the Los Angel | tims numbering more than thirty, some of them being armed. That the crime of murder was not added to that of robbery was due only to the fact that the aim of one of the robbers was bad, | for he tried to kill one of the passengers who resisted. The plot to rob the car was concelved in a cheap lodging-house on East First street in the presence of another hobo | eriminal, John Dallas, who subsequently gave testimony at the trial of Metzger No particular car was selected, but, go- Ing to the corner of Pasadena avenue and Thirty-first street, the two outlaws stopped the first car which came along. Their first act after boarding the car was to drive the motorman and conductor into | the car, thus shielding themselves from possible shots from the passengers. Taking their own time about it, the rob- bers proceeded to search the terrified pas- sengers as they came to them, taking all the money and valuables they could find. They wore no masks and each was armed with a big revolver. John Gay, an elderly passenger, had and when Metzger reached him, refused to surrender his money and tried to seize the bandit’s gun. Burke yelled to the passengers to lower their heads and as they did so he fired point blank at Gay, the bullet barely missing him. Then Gay put up his hands and submitted to being robbed. ‘The proceeds of the robbery watches, one or two revolvers and severa checks. Having held the car more than ten minutes, the robbers jumped off and disappeared. They were captured the next day by Detectives Dixon and Smith while In the act of pawning a watch which had been stolen from one of the passengers. D S e e e e ol INSURANGE PISES 10 ST ALAMEDA, April 29.—-William P, Thomas, one of the best known insurance men on the Pacific Coast, has written his last policy and has gone to his final re- ward. He passed away this morning af 9:30 o’clock at his home, 2124 Santa Clara avenue, after an illness of three months from an affection of the kidneys. Thomas was the general manager of the United States branch of the New Zealand Insurance Company, with his headquar- ters in San Francisco. He succeeded Hugh Craig in that position five years ago, having by force of character and ability worked his way upward from a clerkship to the responsible office he oc- cupied when death claimed him, Thomas came to California in 1858 with his mother and a brother, and for a time engaged in mining. Later he worked in a store at Truckee. In 1867 he secured a position with the Phoenix and Home In- surance Company, through the influence of General R. H. Magill of this city, who was then connected with that company. When General Magill went to the Home Mutual Company Thomas went with him. For the past thirty years the deceased had been affiliated with the New Zealand Company. He was a native of Land's Ena, land, and was fifty-seven years of age. He is survived by a wife, Mrs. Julia Iren . Thomas, and three children—Edwin J. Irene P. and William P. Thomas, Jr. ifa was a member of Oak Grove Lodge, F. ang A.

LOUTS, April 20.—President Roose- | velt arrived here this afternoon to par-| ticipate in the dedication ceremonies of | the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. His | train arrived at Forsvthe Junction at 4:28 | o'clock, where he was met and escorted | to the Good Roads Convention in Odeon Hall for a brief address. Numbers of the dent Francis, gnd a crowd of spectators were present to welcome the President. | For an hour before his train arrived troops of militia and squadrons of police | were stationed about the point of dis-| embarkation to prevent a crush. | When the President's train arrived, | President Roosevelt, accompanied by Governor Dockery of Missouri, who had | joined the train at Keokuk, Iowa, stepped | off the rear end. President Francis of | the Louisiana Purchase Exposition seized | the hand of the President and gave him an informal welcome to St. Louis. Mayor Wells, President Carter of the National Commission and other members of that body, the reception committee of the World’s Fair and military officers shook hands with the President and after this brief and informal reception he was escorted to the carriage in waiting. Mayor Wells, President Carter and Secre- tary Loeb accompanied the President in the carriage, which was at once driven off to the Goods Roads Convention. The hall was packed with a crowd which had been waiting patiently for hours, when, at 5 o'clock, the President arrived to address the Natlonal Good Roads Association. i Roads, the President declared, told the | greatness of a nation. The influence of | nations which had not been road-builders | had been evanescent. Rome, the most | powerful of the older civilizations, left | her impress on literature and speech; she changed the boundaries of nations; but | plainer than anything else left to remind us of the Roman civilization were the Roman roads. At this point of the President’s speech | the crowd arose as one man and cheered, | waving handkerchiefs and hats. { ““Merely from historical analogy.” the| President continued, “this country, which | ship never equaled—this country, I say,, should so act that posterity will justly | say when speaking of us, ‘that nation built good roads.’ " The President declared that good roads probably were the greatest agency for regulating the flow from the country to the city of young men and young women. From Odeon Hall the President was driven at a sharp trot to St. Louis Uni- versity, where he was welcomed by Car- | dinal Gibbons. A few minutes were spent | here, after which the President and other | guests repaired to the home of Mr. Fran- | cis for dinner. WRPET A0 GOOD ROADS AND PROSPERITY. ST. LOUIS, April 20.—At the last day's | session of the National and International Good Roads convention, Hon. T. G. Har- per of Burlington, Iowa, chairman of the | committee on resolutions, presented the | report of that committee, which was, adopted. The resolutions declare: { First—That the building of good roads in the United States is now of paramount {m-| portance to national prosperity and commercial | supremacy. Second—That we recommend the harmonious co-operation of the township, county, State and | national governments in the furtherance of this great end. Third—That the association believes that the appropriations heretofore made for the building of rallroads, canals and the improvement of the rivers and harbors have been wise and beneficent; but an appropriation for the im- provement of our common highways has now become necessary to extend the blessings of intelligence and to promote a high order of citizenship among all classes of people and to meet the ever-growing necessities of the agri- cultural interests. Fourth—That we recommend the establish- ment throughout the United States of a com- plete and perfect organization, from the na- tion down to the township, which organiza- tions shall so overlap each other as to make a complete association.

T 2 2 2 e el 1 BAOKEN ROMANCE OF LAE COUNT Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, April 29. A broken romance of the Lake County hills was brought to light to-day by the filing of papers In a divorce suit in behaif | of Mrs. Harriet Ericson, who is asking the courts to grant her a final separation from all that binds her to husband and | children. She is tired of the hard knocks ot country life with a husband who had little sympathy and was ready to blame his helpmeet for all that might go awry. The deposition of a stage driver who knew the family affairs of the two was | filed to-day in behalf of the husband, who is contesting the suit. \ The Ericsons lived on the road leading from Potter Valley to Gravelly Vailey, and the stage which plied between thcse two places was driven by A. F. Graves. Along toward the middle of 1891 Mrs., Ericson and her two little children were the only passenger Graves had, and there was time for Mrs. Ericson to give vent to the troubles that were uppermost in her mind. She told Graves that her hus- band blamed her for what went wrong on the ranch; scolding and abuse had had their effect, and she was returning, nev- er expecting to see him again, as she was going to leave the children with him and continue on her way. ‘When the stage came in sight of the Erlcson homestead he came out to meet it and his wife and little ones. She hand- ed him out a little fellow about 2 years of age and then the baby, and told Graves to drive on. Ericson asked his wife to get out and come into the house so that he could talk it over with her, but she said she could not do it, and the stage drove away, leaving him standing gazing at the receding vehicle, with the baby in his arms and the boy clinging to his knee. Graves stated that there was no one at tha house except Ericson when they drove away. *“She had told me what she was going to do, and I watched her closely and I never saw her shed a tear, and she did not bid or kiss the children good-by or say a word to them.” The mother has not seen that home since.

CHRISTIAN UNITY AT BIER OF DEAD Object Lesson Funeral of Colonel Wright. Prelates of Two Differing Faiths Draw Hopeful Inference. Special Dispatch to The Call. SACRAMENTO, April 2 people of this city are discussing to-day an incident which, it is declared, is un- | examppled on the Pacific Coast, if not in the entire United States. As reported in The Call, a Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal church and a Bishop of the atteaded by a priest of his own faith, were present at the funeral of Colonel J. B. Wright yes- terday afternoon and at the bier of their dead friend each offered prayer. The cir- cumstance suggested the general esteem in which the former division superinten- dent of the Southern Pacific was held, but | the unusual character of the affair has | caused a wider interest to attach to it. The Right Rev. Willlam H. Moreland, Bishop of the Protestant Episcapal Dio- cese of Sacramento, conducted the funeral ceremonies, reading the burial ritual of his church. At the conclusion of this rite, the Right Rev. Thomas Grace, Bish- op of the Catholic Diocese of Sacramcnto, | offered prayer and was followed by the C. L. Miel, the Episcopal rector, who also offered prayer. Bishop Grace was attended by the Rev. Father Quinn, who, however, did not participate in the services. LESSON IN CHRISTIAN LOVE. Both Bishop Moreland and Bishop Grace gave statements to-night explanatory of the remarkable occurrence. Bishop More- | land admitted that— Such a meeting of bishops of different com- munions, each with his attendant priest, is most interesting, and each taking part in’the religlous service is a fact of much interest, but must not be pressed into undue sig- nificance. Respect for the dead and courtesy to the bereaved family are no doubt the prin- cipal motives that occasioned the union of th: two churches for the time being. It was however, an object lesson to the public, from which hopeful inferences may be drawn, and it should result in deepening the spirit uf Christian love and respect between the mem- bers of the two churches. Bishop Grace, after expressing his high personal regard for Colonel Wright, said: 1 the participated in the services much | same as the many dignified gentlemen of dif- ferent beliefs who bowed their neads and listened to the solemn words of Holy Scripture. The prayver I said is the last of those that follow the litany of the saints and is offered for the cbnsolation of the living and the rest | ofter h of the dead. Catholics can and do. kneel at the coffin of their Protestant neily bor and say that same prayer. This is the first time in the histc State that an piscopal and Cathol stood side by side praying over the pi 3 mortality of a dear friend. But the occasion Wis u Fare ome and may mot occur again However, If the action of all concerned w beget kindlier feelings no one will thank God more than L COLONEL WRIGHT'S WILL. Laura Clarke Wright this afternoon pe- titioned the Superior Court for the pro- bate of the will of the late Colonel Wright. The petitioner sets forth that the value of the estate is not known, but believed to be in excess of $10,00. Colonel Wright's will has been filed. The testament is very brief, the testator de- creeing: 1 hereby appoint my wife, Laura Clarke Wright, executrix of my estate without bonds, also guardtan of my children. I hereby deed and bequeath all my property, real and per- sonal, to my wife, Laura Clarke Wright, knowing that she will take care of and do of our B hep for my two children, Ernest C. and Annie Beatrice Wright @ il : - DY PRAIRIES SWEPT B A BLIIHRD TOPEKA, Kas., April 29.—Snow fell to- day in numerous places in Western Kan- sas.

Huntington Will Fight Rec- ognition of Union to a Finish. LOS ANGELES, April 29.—The long talked o rike of the street carmen em- ployed by the Los Angeles Street Raillway Company was attempted to-night. At 8 o'clock the word went along the line for the members of the St. Louis Carmen’s Union to desert their cars and take the controllers. About a dozen crews left their cars standing at the corner of Spring and Fourth streets and Spring and Fifth streets and turned their attention | to missionary work among other c.ews. The police interfered with this, however, and made several arrests of strikers who had climbed aboard cars. The street railway companies semt out men from the barns with monkey wrenches, and with these tools the de- serted cars were run to the shops. New controllers wefe quickly provided and new crews manned the cars, which were then sent out on their regular runs. The attempt to tie up he system appears, at this hour, 10 o'clock, to have been w successful. The strike was not unexpected. For several months union agents from San Francisco have been in Los Angeles en- deavoring to organize the men. The Los Angeles Street Railway Company dis- charged a score or more men at different times because of their activity in this direction. For several weeks nearly all the cars on the principal lines have car- ried an extra man, presumably to be pre- pared for an emergency This afternoon a committee of unionists called at the office of the street railway company and asked to see General Man- ager Muir. Muir declined to see them and sent word that he would not deal with the agents of any labor union. The committee left and it was generally un derstood then that a strike would take place to-night. After several arrests of strikers had been made to-night by the police, a com- mittee of unionists was sent to ask Mayor Snyder to interfere and instruct the po- lice to keep their hands off. The Mayor has not yet given a reply to this request. | Henry E. Huntington, chief owner of the Los Angeles Street Railway Company, said to-night he would not deal with the | representatives of any labor organization and that he would fight the matter to a finish. He declares the company has enough extra men ready to take the places of all those who have quit work. The chief object of the strikers is to en- force the recognition of their union. A conference of the strike leaders was beld to-night in Counecil of Labor Hail | 2nd it was decided that at clock to- morrow (Thursday) morning all members of the newly formed union shall congre- gate at the company’s car barns, Sixth treet and Central avenue, and endeavor o prevent the sending out of any cars. The strikers claim they have a total membership of between 600 and 7W. The cempany claims the total union member- | ship is not in excess of 300. The men de- | clare that they will not resort to violence, | but Police Captain Auble late to-night is- | sued an order detalling a squad of patroi- men to be on hand at the car barns at 5 |o’clock to repress any attempted inter- ference with the company's affairs. A representative of the strikers stated | to-night that the men will not abandon the fight until the company has ylelded to their demand for recognition of the { union, and that within two days the en- tire Huntington car system, city and in- terurban, will be effectively tied up.
