DIMMICK DUE TO NATURAL CAUSES | Autopsy on Body of Late Oakland Dentist Shows No Sign of Poison. MARTINEZ, Sept. 2l.—Investigation | made into the cause of death of the late | Dr. Edward Dimmick of Oakland, who | was found dead in this county a few | ago, has resulted in the discovery Wright, Alaska, of Governme days causes and that the idea of violence or that end is untenable and is scouted by every person who has had anything to do with the case. The autopsy showed that death was oc- casioned by an alcoholic settiement in the stomach. With this exception there was nothing in that organ showing that the deceased had partaken of any food for some time, and if he had done so evidence | of it had passed away. This condition of the stomach superinduced exhaustion, which tended to hasten the final result. The story published in some papers to- been taken to San Francisco for the pur- pose of having its contents analyzed by surgeons, with a view of ascertaining whether poisonous substances were pres- ent, is without foundation. That organ of the deceased is still in this city in the possession of the autopsy surgeon. OAKLAND, Sept. 21.—The funeral of Dr. Edwin F. H. Dimmick, who died while on a camping trip in Contra Costa County, was held to-day from his late residence, 1061%; Willow street, under the auspices of Oakland Court No. 46, Foresters of America.

He has not been mentioned before in the troubles which involved the dead capitalist and his relatives, from what the youth testified to this morning he evidently was an eye witness to at least one incident which will be used in support of Fred Lloyd's effort to break his father's will. The tuklng of the depositions was done behind closea doors. For days there has been a rumor going the rounds that the defense in the will contest were preparing to despoil San Bernardino of all its news gatherers, un- | der the belief that the reporters who | worked up the scandal were abundantly informed of certain things which might assist in defeating the contest, but later developments indicate that the reporters will not be molested and instead of be-| ing subpoenaed to appear some may be | allowed to make depositions.

Wheelan Delivers Interesting Address Before the Daughters of Pioneers S S HE Daughters of California Pio- neers entertained their friends yesterday afternoon in the par- lors of the Ploneer Hul, Fairfax Wneelan, the well known clubman and member of the | Merchants’ Association, gave a talk upoa the “City’ Beautiful,” "a subject particu- larly apropos at this time. Mr. Wheelan has in the past been closely identified with varfous movements on lines of clvic and social progress, and the matter of the bond issue that is now before the people has appealed strongly to him from the varied standpoints of a business man, o humanitaiian, and a devotee of art. The lecturer, while pointing out the com- mercial advantages to be galned, dwelt extensively upon the relation existing be- tween civic beautification and moral de- velopment, and while the thought was ap- ! rarently a revelation to many of the ladles, the fact was brought home with such indisputable logic that it carried conviction with it. Said Mr. Wheelan: In New York City, when the matter of out- door cultivation was obtaining a foothold in the minds of the people, Abram Hewitt, then Mayor of the city, summoned the police offi- cers from the poorer districts to his office for the purpose of locating the spots on the city's map where the juvenile inhabitants gave the most trouble. “Put your finger upon the dis- e most frequently called by juvenile depredations,” sald he to each, and at the close of the investigation it was discovered—indisputably and without excep- | tion—that those plague spots were the tree- | less and gardenless places of the district; that | where gardens fourished, or trees grew, or | vark _existed, there infraction of the law | was comparatively infrequent. Excerpts from experiments by Eastern‘ sociologists and teachers were read, pointing out as clearly as undemonstrated \ pn.rently The man “that wherever trees and | | Henry Metherill, flowers were planted, or parks established | on the Fuller ranch.

ST S Five Million Dollars Is the Amount of the Capital Stock. R FRESNO, Sept. 2l.—Articles of incor- poration were filed to-day by the Fresno Traction Company, and the capital stock of the new corporation is $5,000,000. The incorporators are W. G. Kerkoff, A. C. Balch, H. P. Baumgartener and W. E. Durfey of Los Angeles and A. G. Wishon of Fresno, each of whom has subscribed for large blocks of the stock. The papers represent an enterprise which, for incorporated capital involved, | is the largest with Fresno as a business center. It is the outcome of the coming | to this valley of Henry E. Huntington with his electric enterprises, although his name is not mentioned in the papers of incorporation. The scheme of the promoters is to con- struct five new electric roads, all leading | from Fresno to the adjacent country, with a view of opening that territory. The total length will be 1% miles and it is | expected that all will be completed in two | years. The new roads will be as follows: First—From Fresno out Kearny avenue to Kearny Park. | Second—From Fresno to Wawona. (Sev- | enty-nine miles long, via Clovis and | Crane Valley. It is at this latter place that the San Joaquin Power Company has its storage reservoirs.) | Third—From Fresno to Selma, via Reed- | ley, Sanger and Dinuba and back to | Fresno. | Fourth—From Fresno to Trimmers Springs, near the mouth of Kings River Canyon. Fifth—From Fresno out Cherry avenue, through Fresno Central and Washington | colonies. The new roads will total 1% miles long and will open up many large and valua- | bie tracts of land and will be the great- | est enterprise ever undertaken in Fresno | County. CHINESE FIND HANGING GORPSE Southern California Man Strangles Himself to : Death. Special Dispatch to The Call. CORONA, Sept. 2L.—FEarly this morning some Chinese discovered the body of a man 50 years of age dangling by a short | rope which was securely fastened to anj upright of the railing of the Auburndale about four miles northwest of Corona. It was a dellberate case of suicide ap- was identified as who last week worked was found lying beside the bridge ‘railing, materially improved, and the moral status | placed there no doubt to attract attention. showed development.” Tiny buds grew The rope used was about twenty inches in | upon the strange new plants, and by the | length. The strands had been carefully gentle enforcement of restraint, these were allowed to bloom into beauty by the interested tykes to whose honor their care was intrusted. Thus trust, honor, | and an interest in the things of the inani- | mate world were brought out, and a love | of the beautiful in color and form devel- | oped; and as these things are an integral part of good character, the results were well worth the time and expense given | the experiment. Thus did Mr. Wheelan strive to impress | upon the guests—and that he succeeded was evident by the warm applause given | him—that San Francisco must do for her children what other progressive localities bad done, and noted especially the city of health and happiness. Of the more material things, such as| | sewers, hospitals and schools, they were | held to be such absolute necessities that | argument in favor of them was wholly un- necessary. It was in the artistic progres- slveness of San Francisco in streets and | parks—and incidentally in home gardens— that the speaker most concerned himself, | and the conclusion was reached that | expended in parks and play | from the sums given over to excessive police protection and the support of re- form schools and jails. At the conclusion of the address, Mr. ‘Wheelan was warmly thanked by Miss | Lucy Adams, the president of the society, on behalf of the members and guests, who evidently regretted their constitu- tional disabllity to profit by the speaker’s address—by voting a straight good vote for the bond issue. But they unanimously agreed to get their husbands, brothers and sons into line, and the result may be quite as satisfactory as if the sex ques- tion hadn’t handicapped them as law- makers. The afternoon’s programme was closed with two vocal solos, charmingly ren- dered, by Miss Gussie Greenleaf Kruger and Miss Helen Crane. The yougg vocal- ists were accompanied by Miss Ethelynn bell. Tea—and very good tea—was then served by the Daughters, bringing to a finale a delightful afternoon. @ ieillnieiemininfefefeiaiefeleiniek @ GIRL TAKES HER LIFE TO SAVE HER FATHER Pathetic End of ;'io\mg ‘Woman of Fresno Who Swallowed Poison.
