Richardson and Mrs. Richardson, assisted by Warring Wilkin- son, made the capture that resulted in Gaylor's examination for burglary to-day.

He was not represented by counsel and made no defense, though he had summoned some witnesses to testify that he was drunk on the night of the burglary. To all questions from Justice Edgar and Deputy District Attorney Hynes he replied that he had nothing to say.

Town Marshal Kerns told how the man had been turned over to him and then Justice Edgar held him to answer before the Superior Court with bonds fixed at $3000. ——————— TWENTY-EIGHTH INFANTRY WILL COME TO CALIFORNIA Fifteenth Cavalry Will Soon Leave the Philippines for the United States.

McIvor-Tyndall’s Lectures. Probing into the principles of psychic science is something that is attracting widespread attention at the present time. | San Franciscans have an excellent oppor- tunity to study these occult phenomena just now, as Dr. Mclvor-Tyndall, the world renowned exponent of psychic sub- jects, is giving a series of lectures and demonstrations at Steinway Hall. For vears past the marvelous psychic devel- opment of this celebrated English physi- clan has been commented upon by press and public alike, in this’country as well as Europe. Dr. Mclvor-Tyndall does not surround himself with mystery. He claims no supernatural agency in his psychic manifestations, and his lucid, scientific explanation of the laws gavern- ing phenomena of the mind appeals to the intelligence of his audiences. For the coming Sunday night Dr. McIvor-Tyndall has invited a San Francisco physician, Dr. Albert J. Atkins_ to tell the audience of his recent discovery of the life prin- ciple. The local press reported this start- ling discovery at the time, but were un- able to secure the full account of Dr. Atkins' researches and experiments in what he has termed “‘Human Electricity.” The lecture will be one of vast sclentific importance and will no doubt attract a large audience. Following Dr. Atkins’ lecture, Dr. Melvor-Tyndall will give manifestations of his marvelous mental powers in entertaining and interesting phenomena. em e B L Did Not Pay the Freight. R. F.

Ask Senators and Congresé- men to Use Influence in Their Behalf. —_— Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.—Since the publication of the fact that Secretary Shaw had selected a list of banks to be designated as United States depositories in the distribution of the emergency fund many of the bankers are redoubling their efforts to obtain the desired privilege and others are sending in applications. All kinds of political influences are at work, and the Secretary on his return may find himself in hot water. No statement can be obtained at the Treasury Department as to the method by which it was determined just which banks should recelve deposits, but the impres- sion prevails among some bankers that the selections were made in some cases as the-result of influence, and they are bringing all the political pressure to bear that they can obtain. In some cases Sen- ators and Representatives are strongly urging that certain banks be given de- posits. A Chicago dispatch to-night quotes Sec- retary Shaw as saying the deposits in the national banks will not at present be ma- terially increased out of ‘the emergency fund, ‘and that thus far deposits have only been sent to a few agricultural dis- tricts, where applications had been made by the banks months ago. Increased de- posits at the national banks may be made, however, in case of emergency. —_———— FOG COMPLETELY ENVELOPS RIFLE RANGE AT SEA GIRT Prevents Finish of Interstate Regi- mental and New Jersey State Guard “Matches.

General Greely was chairman of the American commission. This commission had no authority to make any agreement for the United States, but the protocol embodies, in most of the essential features, the views ex- pressed by the American commissioners. Another conference will be held, and if all the delegates have full powers the proto- col no doubt will be embodied in a treaty for the government of international wire- less telegraph communication. Following is the text of the protocol: Article 1—The exchange of correspondence between vessels at sea and wireless coast sta- tions open to the general telegraphic service is_subject to the following conditions: 1—Any fixed station whose field of action extends to the sea is called coast station. 2— Coast statlons are bound to receive and trans- mit telegrams originating from or intended for | vessels at sea without any distinction of wire- | less telegraph system used by the latter. 5— | The contracting parties shall publish any tsch- | nical Information likely to litate or expe- | dite communication between coast stations and | ships at sea; however, each one of the con- tracting governments may authorize the sta- tions established on its territory, under such | conditions as it may fit, to make use of several installations or special arrangements 4—The contracting rties state and declare they adopt for the fixing of tariffs applicable | to the telegraphic exchange -between vessels | at sea and the international telegraph sys- tem, the following basis: The total tax to collect for such traffic in- cludes (A) the tax pertaining to the traffic of the line of the telegraph system, the amount | of which is that fixed by the international tel- | egraphic regulations now in existence append- ed to the St. Petersburg convention; * (B) | the tax appertaining to the maritime course The latter is, as the first one, fixed according to the numbér of words, and such number of words being reckoned in accordance with the | international telegraphic regulations mentioned | in paragraph *A,” also above. It includes: First, a tax styled “coast tax,” which be 1o the said station: second, a tax called sel tax,” which belongs to the post lished on the ship. A coast station tax is sub- ject to the approval of the state on whe territory the station is established, and a ves- sel tax to the approval of the state whose flag is borne by the vessel. Each one of these two taxes is to be fixed on the basis of an equitable remuneration for the telegraphic ‘work. 3 Article II—Regulations which will be an- nexed to the convention that is to be per: fected will establish the rules applicable to | the exchange of communications between the posts and on board the vesseis. The pro- visions of these regulations may be at any time modified by common understandink be- | tween the contracting states. { Article III—The provisions of the telegraphic | convention of St. Petersburg are applicable | to the transmission of wireless telegraphy in so far s they do not conflict with those of the future convention.

Beaupre was told to make It clear that President Roosevelt, by whose au- thority the instructions were sent, was obliged to be guided by the limitations of the law authorizing the construction of the canal and that he regarded the terms given by the United States as the most liberal that could be obtained by Colom- bia within the scope of the law. The spirit of the instructions is that Colombia can accept the rejected treaty as it stands or lose the opportunity of having the United States build a canal in its ter- ritory. Dr. Herran is momentarily expecting advices from Bogota announcing action by the Senate committee to which was intrusted the question of proposing amendments to the treaty which it was hoped would prove successful and lead to ratification. He believes that sufficient time has now elapsed for a full considera- tion of the subject and that a report al- ready has been, or soon will be, made. He has not yet made any application for an extension of time from September 22— the limit of ratification provided by the treaty.
