Episcopalians Plan to Erect Sacred+ Edifice and Strong Support Has Been Given. The Episcopalians are planning to erect a house gf worship at the new cottage vil- lage of Monte Rio Park on the R@ssian River in the mountains of the western part of Soncma County. The Rev. O. Parker, archdeacon of Sacramento, was visitor 1n San Francisco yesterday in the interests of the new project. He in- terviewed the officials of the North Shore Rallroad and land companies, where he received every encouragement. The land company offered a site for the proposed church edifice at the corner of Middle way and Myrtle lane, while one of the officials who ow a cottage at Monte Rio tendered a cash donation to the building fund. It is expected that many of the cottagers will also contrib- ute to the fund. Charles F. Carr, propri- etor of the Hotel Monte Rio, recently en- | tertained Rev. Mr. Parker and other | ministers of , the church, who visited Monte Rio, and offered them a substantial | cash donation. It is expected that the Duncans Miil | Lumber Company will donate a part of the | lumber to be used in construction. The | Rev. Mr. Parker has already received some financial aid from Episcopalians of the Northern Diocese of California, who have no special interest in Monte Rio, but who favor the extension of the church influence, and it is believed other lay members will lend their aid when the project becomes known. It is proposed to raise $1000 for the church edifice and later on to erect a neat parsonage. The services will be conduct- ed by a missionary of the diocese of which the Right Rev. William H. More- land is Bishop. Rev. C. A.

New Features Are Apparent in Bowers Murder Mystery. John Cunningham, a wpiter in the | Oberon music hall, has suddenly become | one of the most prominent figures in t! sensational Bowers murder mystery. H misrepresentations of his position in the Forrible affair in his statements to the| police authorities, have become known. Last night the officers were debating xhe{ advisability of taking him into custody. He will be subpenaed at rate and kept under the order of the court. He is openly accused by the police of know- | ing more than he has told. Mrs. Bowers stated to the Chief of Po- !lice immediately after her arrest that| the persons who gave food to the pois- oned brid builder were herself, Harry | Bowers a his wife, Mrs. Sutton and | John Cunningham. All of them were sub. jected to a severe examination and their stories were Kept for record. John Cunningharh asserted that he had been a lifelong friend of Martin Bowers, | that he had but little acquaintance with the women and that his frequent visits to 370 Clementina street were for the pur- pose of nursing the sick man. He said that he had visited the grocery where the ham was bought for the pur- pose of discovering if there was anything the matter with the rest of the meat on the same bone. He visited the house practically every day and did all he could to heip. It is now learned that he has been liv- ing in Mrs. Sutton's apartments for more than a year and is said by fellow! habitues of the tenderloin to be her con- sort. The people who live near the Bow- ers house on Clementina street say that Cunningham never visited the place until any and then in company with Mrs. Sutton. He gave much assistance in the care of Bowers. When the latter was dead Cun- ningham, in the role of the grief-stricken friend, took the murdered man's §140 gold watch and chain. The story is that Mrs. Bowerg wanted to reward the waiter for all his trouble. ACTIONS ARE SUSPICIONS. Nothing was said about this watch un- til the fact that it was missing w covered by a Call representative and re- ported to the police. Detective Ryan se- cured it from Cunningham late Tuesday night. And now the authorities are ask- | ing why John Cunningham attempted to show that he was the closest friend of | the murdered bridge builder instead of ad- mitting his relations with the woman who has been declared to have been the person who purchased the arsenic at As- kenasy's drug store. When confronted with ihe statement that he had lived fn Mrs. Sutton’s apartments Cunningham replied that the woman was simply his , which is not deemed likely by the police. J A police officer saw him sitting on thie wall which surrounds Portsmouth square yesterday afternoon watching for some one to come from the Hall of Justice, where Mrs. Sutton is imprisoned. It is said that he was attempting to communi- cate with the woman through some third person who is not at present known to the authorities. He was visibly in a state of alarm last night and refused to talk of the Bowers murder. He was formerly a waiter in the Olympia, where Mrs. Sut- ton was a constant visitor. She was a notorfous character, but was never ar- rsted for vagrancy, so says Police Of- ficer Callandun, whose beat has long been on the lower portion of Eddy street, be- cause the woman declared that she main- tained a lodging-house and it would have been hard to prove a case against her. John Cunningham was just as notorious?y | | known as her companion. But to the po-: lice he represented that he did not know | much of her and that his sole intarest in visiting 320 Clementina street was to as- | sist the sick man. WILL HAVE TO EXPLAIN. Cunningham will be interrogated again | severely as soon as possible. It is ar- gued, now the facts in the case have be- come known, that Cunningham as the consort of Mrs. Sutton and the constant attendant on the dying bridge builder, ought to know as much of the real cir- cumstances of the case as Patrick Ler- | vey, or O'Leary, the lover of Mrs. Bow- ers. The police theory is that Mrs. Sut- ton was to get a share of the $2860 bank | account for engineering the affair and | that even if Cunningham did not know that murder was being committed, he would at least be cognizant of the fact that his companion was expected to shortly better her condition financially. Cunningham will have an opportunity to | tell his story undey oath at the Coroner's | inquest at 10 o'clo¢k to-morrow morning. John Schnoor of 366 Clementina street came forward with the statement yester- | day that on the morning after the death | of the bridge builder he started for the | corner grocery at 5:30 o’clock and saw Mrs. Bowers, clad in her night clothes, | letting Lervey out of the door. As soon as the latter observed that he was seen | he ran swiftly around the corner and up | Fitth street. This is evidence that Lervey and Mrs. Bowers both lied in their pre- | vious statements to the police that they sat up all night. Mrs. Magnan of 368 | Clementina street is said to have seen the same occurrence. Attorney Vaughn of Portland, Or., who is directing the defense, says that he is | | certain that his clients did not commit | { the murder and that the truth will come | out during the progress of the prospec- tive trial. He has told the women not to talk and they refuse to answer any more questions. Lervey when seen that he had had trouble with Bowers | when the latter returned from Mare | Island the night before he was taken il He said they were introduced and talked tugether pleasantly. Lervey has become defiant and declines to answer vital ques- tions. Chief of Police Hunt of Seattle has been requested by the local authorities to_get a comprehensive statement from Mrs. Deedie McCallum of that city, who was a s dis- | yesterday denled 11 | close friend of Mrs. Bowers, and who was present in the sick room on various occasions. 5 COMPLETE ANALYSIS. Professor Green and Chemist Morgan, his assistant, have completed their analy- sis of the contents of the dead man's stomach. They found two and a fraction grains of free arsenic of the common white crystal variety. There were no traces of other poisons. Two grains of arsenic is said to be a fatal dose. Arsenic is not easily soluble, but Pro- fessor Morgan says that when a man dies from arsenical poison and a consid- erable quantity remains in the victim's stomach it is evidence that the dose must have been a large one. It js the dissolved arsenic circulating with the blood that does the damage.

Incident. i e United States Senator Shelby M. Cul- lom of Illinois, chalrman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Af- fairs, accompanied by Mrs. Cul- lom, Miss Fisher, the Misses C. and Elea- nor Ridgley and W. Melloy, his private secretary, arrived last evening from Chi- cago inta private car and registered at the Palace Hotel. The Senator has come West to visit his brother, who is at pres- | ent recovering from a recent accident, and to enjoy a little recreation. Onme of the first remarks made by the Senator after his arrival was that he felt re- lieved over the reports denying the kill- | ing of Vice Consul Magelssen of Beirut, and he added: “These matters have a tendency to more or less demoralize international re- lations and sometimes they lead to serious but unnecessary troubles. I have learned through the papers that the attempt to take the Vice Consul's life was made by an Irresponsible person and that the Turkish Government was quick to offer an apology. This should close the inci- dent.” Asked regarding the Presidential possi- bilitles, Senator Cullom said that there was every reason for regarding President Roosevelt as a certainty. He sald: “In my own State there is a bit of agi- tation over the question of who will be the next Governor. When I left Chicago there had been no definite turn in affairs and no one was certain who would be the cholce of the Republican party.” Discussing the canal matter, in so far as it concerns theg stand of Colombia, the Senator said that the South American re- public has not yet indicated just what it purposes to do. If she opposes the canal project he thinks that she will stand in the way of her own progress and will be the greater sufferer. Continuing, he said: “The canal should be built for the ben- efit of all the nations of the world and our country is willing to undertake its econ- struction. 1 doubt if the United States will permit small obstacles to stand in the way of carrying out the plans for the great work.” L i e ] ) cisco on June 14, was questioned to-night by Chief of Police Hunt about the oc- currences at the Bowers home that night. Mrs. McCallum said: “My husband and I formerly lived in San Francisco and I was there visiting in June. On the evening of the 14th I went to Bowers’ home to call, having known them intimately. After I had been there a little while Lervey came in and then went out and got some beer. Mr. Bowers came home about 9 o'clock and did not say anything to Lervey, but just looked at him. Mrs. Bowers said to me, ‘Introduce your friend.” I did not remember his name and Lervey spoke it. Bowers said very crossly: 1 have heard of you before,” but never offered to assault him. “About a week afterward I went there again, hearing that Bowers was sick. He said he was poisoned and that it was from eating ham which Mrs. Bowers had purchased. He vomited and she told me that she vomited, too, and then he sald he had terrible pains all over him.” ———— TULARE, Sept. 2—Fire broke out in Seif- ert's cigar store in Visalia early this morning, totally destroying_ it and four neighboring business houses.

Whitwell, the long missing Harvard | University student, who is now enjoying | the dubious lyxury of cowpunching on a | Texas ranch, as was reported by tele- graph from Austin, Tex., in The Call yes- | terday, has virtually brought to a plea- surable end the tireless and exasperating- ly ineffectual search made by the boy's mother and his other relatives since last February. Mrs. Whitwell, the mother, who resides’ in New York, and L. H. Bonestell of this city, the grandfather of the truant col- legian, had encountered so many ob- stacles and been disappointed so frequent- Iy in their efforts to trace the young man, that there seemed not the remotest chance of success. Friends of the family in the Southwest rendered them every | possible assistance and.a few had even seen “Scolly” Whitwell in Texas some months ago, but beyond the accumulation of interesting but useless scraps of infor- mation, their work was profitless. | ‘When the news of the location of Whit- well on a ranch thirty miles from San Antonio appeared yesterday, Mr. Bone- stell immediately made arrangements to | place himself in communication with his | granéson. Telegrams were sent to Aus- tin and doubtless a courier is now on his way to the place where Whitwell is em- | ployed as a cowboy. “This is the first satisfactory news we have had in seven month: said Mr. Bonestell yesterday. Since February 26 we have searched over half the continent for the boy. He disappeared from Cam- bridge on that date and we have not had a word from him since. Some time pre- viously he had spent a year in Germany and he said he would make that time up at 'Harvard by hard study. I am con- vinced that he studied too hard and the impulse seized him to get away from the worry of his school work. ““One of his classmates saw him in New York a few days after he left college, and | said he thought the boy might go to Texas. The story of his disappearance was later read by Thomas Blodgett at Waco, and he wrote to Mrs. Whitwell, teliing her that he belteved he had seen my grandson there. “I was in New York at the time and on my way out here ) stopped at Waco and heard that the boy was on the Co- burn ranch near San Antonio. I could not locate him there, however, and was told afterward that he had come to Cali- fornia. This Call dispatch would seem to substantiate that statement, for it says that three weeks ago he returned to Texas. “The young man is 22 years old and a giant for his age. He was a member of the varsity crew at Harvard and was prominent in ail athletics. One of the very sad features of the case is that his father died in New York only two weeks after his disappearance. “I to-day received telegrams from Mrs. ‘Whitwell, who had been informed of the Austin story, and I will co-operate with her at once to send word to her son. She has been greatly distressed over his mys- terious absence and is delighted to feel that he is safe and may soon return to her.” Young Whitwell is a member of a wealtny family in New York, and no ex- | pense was spared to make his life agree- able at college. Mr. Bonestell, the grand- father, is one of the partners in the firm of Bonestell. Richardson & Co. ———— Gas ranges $12 and upward. We carry the best; our prices the lowest. S. F.
