The Governor's staff, ex-Governors, State officers and reception committees, | in addition to 5000 persons from out of the | eity, gathered to greet the President. From the depot to the Capitol bullding a long line of troops from the National Guard were deployed, and the President and party were drivém to the office of Governor McBride. Governor McBride and Mayor Lord occupied seats in the President’s carriage, which had been dec- orated with the State's flower, rhododen- dron, and evergreens. At the office of Governor McBride an informal reception of ten minutes was held. From the main entrance of the Capitol building a plat- form had been constructed. One hundred and fifty people were seated on the plat- form, and from its outer edge the Presi- dent addressed the people gathered in the Capitol park. At the close ¢f the Presi- dent’s address the party was driven for | ten minutes through the residence por- | tion of the city to the Masonic Temple, | which was built more than fifty years ago.

He was met here by Governor McBride, who wel- comed him to the State. The President responded in a brief address. The engine that pushed the President’s car on to the ferry-boat on which is crossed the Co- lumbia River from Oregon had a live bear cub attached to a pole on the tender. The President was greatly interested in the little fellow and, boarding the engine, pat- ted its head. The bear failed to appre- ciate the honor that was paid him, how- ever, and while the train was being shunt- | ed on to the ferry signified his disapproval by uttering baby bear growls. e MAKES STOP AT CHEHALIS. CHEHALIS, Wash., May 22.—President Roosevelt's special arrived at Chehalis promptly on scheduled time. A crowd of | 16000 people had assembled and as the train pulled into the depot the President was greeted with cheers. Mayor Francis Donahue met the President as he alighted and escorted him directly to an elevated passageway leading directly to McKinley stump, a mammoth fir stump which has been beautifully adorned and which stands near the depot. The President was greeted: by members of the local com- mittee, including Mr. and Mrs. William Hazzard, parents of the two lieutenants Hazzard, who were with Colonel Funston at the capture of Aguinaldo.

Pour Volleys of Buckshot Into a Room in Which He Was Sleeping. 1 | Potted Plants on a Shelf Over the| Head of the Bed Are Riddled [ | With Pellets of t Lead. ol | DOWNIEVILLE, May 22.—The town of | Loyalton, in the eastern part of Slerra | | County, was thrown info a state of in- | tense excitement this morning by the at- | tempted assassination of a prominent! citizen. An attempt was made on the lite of Harry B. Gott, one of the officers | of the incorporated town of Loyalton, and | his family while they were asleep in thelr home. F | About 2 o'clock this morning the mem- | bers of the family were awakened by | three shots fired in rapid succession. The ! shots were fired with one or more shot- | guns through a window directly at the head of the bed where Gott and his wife viere asleep. Their 7 months old babe | had been sleeping in its crib by the side of the bed, but becoming fretful, had been taken a short time before into an adjoining room by the grandmother, otherwise it must inevitably been killed, | as the crib was in direct range of the | shots. All that saved the occupants of the bed was a shelf, covered with potted | plants, which had been built the day be- fore and occupied a position directly in ! | front of the head of the bed. These plants received the full force of the shots. The room was fllled with powder smoke and the bed was literally sprinkled with shot. A looking s on the bureau, that stcod mear the b was shattered. It is | believed that two or more persons took tempted murder. the shots were fired Gott sat up in bed, but did not dare to move it for fear of more shots.

Continuing, the manifesto places all the blame for the bloody riot and the deplor- situation upon General Reves. It ays that it was an evil day when Gen- eral Reyes became Governor of the State; that he knows absolutely nothing of the | most rudimentary principles of public | justice mor of the science of governing | free men and citizens knowing their | | and duties.” he manifesto contains this description of the riot during the political parade: “The procession was coming out of Zaragoza street into Zaragoza plaza, | when unexpectedly a shot was heard, | which it appears was the signal agreed upon, and after a moment of general amazement repeated fusillades were dis- charged from the balconies of the City | Hall and over the balustrade on the top of that public building down upon the marchers. At the same moment the armed city police, who had come march- ing along with the procession, turned their weapons upon the marchers and fired into their ranks. “Four men fell dead instantly under | these volleys and about sixty were | wounded, of whom eight have died to this | date. The marchers, who were unarmed, broke ranks and disappeared from the scene within a very few minutes. In a| short time the Tenth Squad of ..angers | and a company of the Ninth Battalion of Infantry arrived upon the scene and formed in the streets of the plaza. The police began making arrests according to their fancy or perhaps in obedience to verbal orders received beforehand.” The manifesto then makes an appeal to President Diaz to bring to light all the facts connected with the terrible affair, and concludes as follows: “It should be borne in mind that if cir- cumstances shall favor the man who or- dered the hetacomb of April 2, 1903, in Monterey he would be capable of repeat- ing that crime in the capital of the re- public at a future day, when he may deem it proper for the furtherance of his ambitious views and when he shall be in a position to take that step.

OAKLAND, May 22.—The final account was filed to-day in the matter of the es- tate of Louis Ghirardelli, the wealthy chocolate man, and distribution ordered by Judge Ellsworth. The estate consists of $6404 9 in cash, five and a half acres of land at Ross Landing, in Marin Coun- ty; a lot of land at Kirkham and West Fourteenth streets, 640 shares of the capi- tal stock of G.

All of the committees are working d for the SINTA FE WAITS FIELD REPOATS Road’s Route to Eureka Not Yet Decidéd Upon. Assistant to the President Payson and Chief Engineer Dun of the Santa Fe Rall- way returned to San Francisco yesterday, fresh from the fields of operation of the new projected railway to Eureka. Cap- tain Payson accompanied President Rip- ley on his recent trip to Eureka and re- turned the same way, using wagons and stages nearly the entire trip. In an in- terview yesterday Captain Payson sald that three surveying parties are out in the field, but that a definite route has not yet been decided upon. He says that the Santa Fe in building this new road will pass through rich tim- ber lands. The most valuable timber land has already passed into the possession of Eastern capitalists and very little of this property can now be purchased. Captain Payson and Engineer Dun trav- eled by wagon as far as Cloverdale, which it is believed corroborates the theory that if the Santa Fe cannot come to a traffic agreement with President Foster of the California Northwestern they will parallel the last-named line. The first meeting of the directors of the | San Francisco and Eureka Rallway was held Thursday and the result of the elec- tion of officers follows. President, A. W. Foster; vice president, P. W. Lilienthal; secretary, Thomas Mellersh; cashier, George C. Hickox. During the meeting the directors were authorized to proceed with surveys and purchasing of rights of ways. That the Foster faction is in earnest is evident from Director P. W. Lilienthal’s remarks when discussing the subject yesterday. He said: “The Santa Fe counts on having its road completed in two years. I believe that our road will be completed in about the same time.” It is stoutly denied that Harriman is backing the San Francisco and Eureka road, but it is generally admitted that he has obtained very favorable traffic ar- rangements. The Western Pacific Railway Company, for which Attorney Walter J. Bartnett stands sponsor, has finally made a move that apparently defines its intention to carry out its widely published plans to build a railroad from Salt Laxe City, through Beckwith Pass, down the Sacra- mento Valley to San Francisco Bay. Yes- terday afternoon Attorney Bartnett an- nounced that the board of directors of the road had met and decided on a $50,- 000,000 issuance of bonds for the construc- tion of the line mentioned and that the securities would be placed Wwith the New York Trust y. o He also stated that the next move in | Tia Juana, to La Jolla caves and to Coro- — 7 | — - COMMITTEEMEN WHO ARE ARRANGING DETAILS FOR | CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORERS. — = vention.

Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN BERNARDINO, May 22.—Attorney John Brown Jr. is among the missing. Two weeks ago he left here, having been hurriedly summoned by the Warner Ranch Indians to advise them whether to resist the attempt to remove them to Pala or to leave their ancestral homes peaceably. Two days later De La Wood- ward received a letter from him stating that the Indians had started and would reach Pala the following Saturday. Press reports allexed to come from Pala had the tribe at Pala several days before that day, showing that the reports, which re- ally emanated from a well prepared source at San Diego, were erroneous. But not another line of any description has | since he| come from Attorney Brown wrote the letter referred to, in which he stated he would return immediately after | the arrival of the tribe at their new home. Brown's relatives and friends have been watching for him dally and at last admit that they are getting anxious for his safe- ty. Had he left the reservation at Pala Monday, two days after he stated the tribe would arrive there, he should have reached here Wednesday at the very lat- | est. All the other white people who a: sisted In the removal have returned and each in turn has given his version of the removal to the reporters, but John Brown cometh not and to the question, “Where is he?” not an echo respondeth. De La Woodward, when seen to-day regarding the strange absence of the attormey, stated that unless something definite learned concerning his whereabouts by to-morrow a search for him would be made and every avallable point reached by telegraph. —_—————— Liable for Losses by Burglary.
