McIvor-Tyndall's psy- | chological lecture on the subject of “Money—The Psychic Law Governing It” attracted an excellent audience to Stein- way Hall last evening. The lecture proved to be a practical and conservative exposition of the money question viewed from the standpoint of a man who has made a life study of the questions that | affect human character and spiritual pro. gress. Dr. Mclvor-Tyndall's views are | always intensely interesting, and from the hypothesis of mental sclence no doubt they are also practicable. He holds the | idea that as “man has dominion over all | the earth” he is able at all times to cre- | | B ate that which is needed for his progress and happiness. This he considers literal- ly, and he belleves that one can ®o0 use his own psychic and mental powers as to | | attract to himself money, which is merely | a substitute for all material things, at| will. The lecture was well received, as | i | have been all the lectures of the series given here by the celebrated sclentist, the audience being particularly enthu- slastic over the truly wonderful demon- strations of psychic power exhibited by the thought-reader.

Two of the robberies were in saloons, and barkeepers and patrons were made to surrender- their coin at the muzales of revolvers. The third was the robbery of the engineer and fireman of a frelght train and the fourth was an attack upon a citizen in a central part of the city of Oakland. Masked men were coming from all di- rections, revolvers and knives flashed, and the police upon this side of the bay were kept on the anxious seat all night, hardly knowing from what direction the next re- port of a robbery might come. To-day detectives, special men and Deputy Sheriffs have been working upon clews and insufficient descriptions, with but| little success. | In every case the robbers were masked | with handkerchiefs over their faces, and | this, together with the excitement of the moment, makes descriptions upon which the police may work very uncertain. In| the case of the robbery of Kley's saloon | at West Oakland, Fred Nussbaum, the | barkeeper, claims that he got a-look at | one of the men and would be able to| | recognize him. The most definite clew upon which to work is in the Point Richmond case. | Deputy Sheriff Moltoza of that place fol- | lowed the men who are supposed to have | robbed the Spignella saloon there into | West Berkeley. There he overtook them | and he claims that he recognized them. He claims they are Walter and William | Nottingham, the last named being an ex- convict, who goes under the alias of | “Billy Woods.” The police are now look- ing for these men, but the clews in the other cases are very slight. THEORY OF POLICE. | The only theory that is advanced is that | the men who held up the saloon at Point | Richmond caught a freight train for Oak- | land and decided to rob the engineer and | fireman just before the train reached the | end of Its run. The men who robbed | Kley's saloon at West Oakland are also | supposed to be the omes who held up Larue A. Cross, a young man, at the cor- | ner of Thirteenth and Castro streets later | in the evening. The first robbery reported was that of | the Kley saloon. This crime occurred a | few minutes before 7 o'clock and it was | reported to the police as soon as the thieves had left the place. The report of | the robbery of the engine crew of the | freight train was made to the Oakland police as soon as the train reached the Sixteenth-street depot, which was nearly | 1 o'clock. The robbery of young Cross at | the corner of Thirteenth and Castro | streets occurred at 2 o'clock in the morn- | ing and was reported almost Immediately at the City Hall by Cross himself. Word of the Point Richmond robbery did not reach this city until this morning. The robbery of Kley's saloon was daring, particularly because of the time | of the evening in which it was done. Nussbaum, the barkeeper and a son-in- law of the proprietor of the olace, at| first thought that it was only a joke, | but when a second man with a mask and revolver appeared at another door he discovered that it was a stern reality and gave up the contents of the money drawer, amounting to between $50 and $60. | Nussbaum started to make a fight when he thought that there was but one man but when the second man en- tered the door directly in front of him and threatened to shoot he ylelded. Nuss- baum tells a very clear story of the rob- bery. He sald: LOOKS DOWN REVOLVER. I was behind the bar in the act of drawing a glass of beer when some one stepped out of the little door that leads into the front of ! the store. This door is on & line with the space behind the bar so that a man can step from the front of the store directly behind the bar in case there is a customer in the saloon part The men stepped directly alongside of me and put a revolver almost against my | head. At first I thought that it was some one in the neighborhood who Wwas putting up a joke on me_end I threw up my hand to ward him off. In doing that I brushed his mask aside a little and I saw that he was a young man with a light moustache and I am sure that I could recognize him without the least trouble. i t as I threw up my hand and knocked the gun of the first man aside the second man stepped in through the door from the | street. He also had a revolver ready, and iming it at me he said: “‘Throw up your | hands and quit that or I'll put some lead into you." 1 saw that they meant business, and with @ T Al ENDS HER LIFE NEAR CHILDREN | fhen business has been fine to-day. | got a hand right here I'd like to throw {up.” Another suggested “Blaze away” and a third : “I'd rather be shot in the back.” D e e e 4 Mother Takes Poison After Bidding Them Good-By. Special Dispatch to The Call, SPOKANE, Wash., Oct. 18.—After car- rying luncheon to her three little children who were gathering fruit in the apple or- chard near their home, Mrs. Jacob Munn of Waverly tenderly bade them good-by, walked a few hundred yards to a corner of the orchard and took strychnine to end her life, This occurred early yesterday afternoon and for several hours the little ones, {gno- rant of the terrible agonies the dying par- ent was enduring, continued to pick the apples. They then went to the house and were alarmed to find no sign of their mother. When the father, a well known farmer, returned from an adjoining ranch, he instantly began a search of the ranch. The woman's body was soon found near an old well. One of her hands clutched a strand of a barbed wire fence. She had evidently wandered about after taking the poison and had stumbled into the well. A few boards had préevented her from drowning and she was enabled to reach the surface again, Mrs. Munn's home life was most pleas- ant and neither the husband or children can offer any theory for the suicide. They say the woman acted as usual yesterday and was a good wife and loving mother. She was 38 years of age. The family was prosperous and the woman was widely known and respected. Last winter she was ill and an operation was performed in Spokane. She recovered slowly, but last June returned to the farm and had stead- ily been regaining her health. She was not known to be suffering at all in the last two months, bt — Yale professors will hereafter be rei from service, except In special cases, a 68 years of age. £ frank to say big as cannons to that they meant %o -guns on me I quit.

We notified the police by telephone as soon as We got our breath, but the men were out of sight long betore that. The men were probably In the place twenty minutes, and they seemed very cool and In no hurry about anything. BOTH OF MEDIUM SIZE. They were of medium size, both dressed in | dark clothes. One wore a° biack handkerchief over his face and the other a whits one. The man with the black mask came in first and had a blue revolver. The man who came in second had & white mask and a bright re- volver. The second man seemed to be more determined than the first one and seemed to be the leader, You can just bet that it was exciting—but There are a lot of people who came down to the sa- loon to see where the holdup occurred, and they all spent money, o The holdup of 8. G. Spignolia’s saloon in Point Richmond was just as exciting as the Oakland incident of similar char- acter. Spignolia runs the Manhattan Hotel, in what is known as the Old Town, and hiag a saloon in the building. It was a little after 10:30 o'clock last night. and the proprietor was playing cards with Joe McAvoy, Mike Phelan and Joe Brittan, three employes of the Santa Fe Ralilroad, when the robbers entered. There was no one else in the room except the four card players, when a man with a handkerchlef tled over his face and a revolver in his hand entered a door that was’ directly behind Spignolia. He com- manded: “Throw up your hands.” The men at the table thought that it was a joke and one man remarked: “I've These jokes did not please the man be- hind the mask, who was looking for money and not for fun. He uttered a few oaths such as usually go with like pieces of work, and just then another man with a revolver and his face Lidden by a mask entered another door and added his in- structions about throwing up hands. OBEY THE ROBBERS. The appearance of the second man set- tled the question of whether it was business or fun, and four pairs of hands went up over four heads. One man Kept the crowd covered with his revolver while the other took $12 55 from the money | drawer. They then searched Mr. Spig- nolia and found a buckskin sack with $150 in gold coin in his pocket ‘which they took. “I suppose that you want my gold| watch,” sald Spignolla, who expected to lose everything. “No, we don't want any jewelry,” sald one of the robbers, The men in the saloon were then warned not to leave the saloon upon penalty of being shot as they emerged, and the rob- bers disappeared. Deputy Sheriff Frank Moitoza was noti- fied in about half an hour, and he secured a buggy and began to follow the men. He traced them along Richmond avenue, which branches, one road leading to Oak- land, the other to Ban Pablo. Thinking that they would head for the city, Moitoza turned toward Oakland and at the corner of University avenue and San Pablo ave- nue in West Berkeley he overtook two men, who were hurrying on foot and scemed very much out of breath. He rec- ognized them as Walter and William Not- tingham. The last named served a term of eight years In State’s prison for rob- bing {he Southern Pacific Railroad sta- tion at Walnut Creek and was sentenced from Contra Costa County under the name of “Billy Woods.”" Mottoza ordered the men to stop, and when he did they began firing at him. | There was a volley of shots exchanged | without any one being hurt, and the two men jumped into a gully and made their scape. Moitoza thinks that they were the men that did the job, THE TRAIN ROBBERY. The robbery of the engineer and firemen of a speclal freight train at the stock- vards was a little out of the run of train robberies. The thieves secured a little money and even took some of the clothes of their victims. It is possible that this robbery may have been committed by the men from Point Richmond. The trail of these men was lost near where the train robbeéry oc- curred and the train robbery took place shortly after they dropped out of sight in the darkness of West Berkeley. PRESS OF DOMINION BITTER OVER DECISION “Chamberlain Has Given It to Us in the Neck” the Comment of One Journal. MONTREAL, Oct. 18.—~Commenting up- on the decision of the Alaskan Boundary Commission, the Gazette to-morrow will say, Canadians generally did not expect much from the arbitration commission. The com- mission was not an arbitration tribunal such as could be exnected to decide on the weight of evidence, no matter which side suffered. The three representatives of the United States were hardly coen to convietion. Unqer the heading, “Canada Is Sacri- ficed,” Le Journal will say in part: This result had been seen from the begin- ning. In accepting the decision of a commis- sion ngmed equally by the two parties to the case England plainly indiated a disposition to no longer sustain the contentions of Canada, but 1o sacrific !hem(m the hove of séenring e Dpearance of a cause of contim friction with the United States. % “ Le Canada, which is the personal or- gan of the Canadian Minister of Marine and Fisheries, will say, - Through the treaty Mr. Chamberlaln signed with Mr. Hay, Canada is compalied to aceept the deciston of the tribunal and to submit to the voice of the majority.

Just as I shut the engine off and turned tha water Into the boller 1 saw thres fellows come up on the track, the engine being an oll burn- | er, and come toward the cab. | I didn't pay much attention to them, as I thought they were hoboes after a drink of water or u smoke, for there are alwaye a lot of them riding with us from one station to another.

While the fellow in the cab was talking the | two fellows on the tank had drawn guns and | covered us, so I knew it was no use making | a fight. 1 My engine was one of the big compounds, | and it was lucky for me that it was or I could | not have got through the window. When I hit ! the ground I jumped up and ran forward in | the shadow of the engine till T got to the pilot | and then ran across the tracks toward the | high board fence around the ofl refinery.

DENVER, Oct. 18. — Everything is in readiness for the general court martial that is expected to probe the Nitional Guard scandal. Governor Peabody de- clares that the investigation will be rigor- ously pushed. The court will be convened to-morrow in the Senate Chamber, and unless some change is made in the present onlan it will be open to the public. The case of General John Chase will be taken up first. | S0 far General Chase is the only officer against whom charges have been officially filed with the court. He is charged with faflure to obey orders of the Governor, conduct unbecoming to an officer and perjury. ° There was some talk of compromising the whole affair without a trial, under an .agreement with Chase to resign shortly after matters had quieted down. In reply to this rumor, General Chase satd: “I shall not resign from the Na- tional Guard. All reports to the effect that I had ever considered offering my resignation are entirely false. There will be no compromise from my end of the line it such compromise calls for my re- tirement.” Three other officers are expected to be charged before the court with ‘offenses. They are Major Arthur Will- jams, Colonel Frank E. Kimball and Colonel Fred Gross. Major Willlams is accused of conduct unbecoming an officer and conduet in vio- lation of military discipline. Colonel Kimball and Colonel Gross are accused of alleged irregul neetion | ranged, consisting of a tombola, dancing | across the trackless ocean so that a gov- | | he was deluded into believing that he was ~ (HONOR MEMORY | BRINGS PAGTOR OF GOLUMBUS Gathering of Italian Colony at Glen Park. Anniversary of Discovery of America Fittingly Observed." O ok i If the shade of Christopher Columbus had visited Glen Park yesterday it would have been overcome by emotion at the splendid manner in which the great dis- coverer's countrymen of the present day united to do honor to his memory on the 411th anniversary of his discovery of America. The celebration was under the auspices of the Garibaldi Guard Mutual Afd Society and no unpleasant incident occurred to mar the day's festivities. The Garibaldi Guard members, in their | handsome scarlet uniforms and under | command of Captain Delucchi, assembled | at Garibaldi Hall on Broadway at 9 o'clock, and, headed by a brass band and | followed by the members of the soclety, | paraded on Broadway, Dupont and Fil- | bert streets, Montgomery avenue and Kearny streat. Cars were in walting | after the parade and an early start was made for Glen Park. An excellent programme had been ar- and an oration by Fiorenzo Cavagnaro. Mr. Cavagnaro's ldress was most for- cible and he was vociferously applauded. The speaker dwelt upon trials that had beset Columbus in his voyage to the new land and the difficulty that he had en- countered in convincing the skeptics so as to secure sufficient funds to make the attempt. He reminded his countrymen that, notwithstanding the natural love they had for the country of their birth, | they should not fail in their duty as American citizens. In conclusion he pointed out that Columbus was guided by | a divine hand on his perllous voyage ernment might be founded where the op- pressed of all nations could find a haven | of refuge and where justice, equality and liberty should prevail. The committees in charge of the cele- | bration were as follows: Gate—A. Scacel, P_ Fontana, S. Cicerons, A. Bacigalupl, G. Sbarboro, F. Anfibolo, G Cordano, M. Canepa and G. Bignottl.

PORTLAND, Or., Oct. 18.—Thé Rev. J. John A. Gibson, pastor of the Grand- avenue Presbyterian Church, is defendant in a damage sult for $1000 filed in the State Clrcuit Court by W. E. Spicer, a local wheat broker and member of the congregation, who alleges that the min- ister has made numerous defamatory ut- terances regarding him and has wrong- fully attempted to expel him and his wife from the church society. The complaint recites that Gibson re- cently sald to a prominent member of the congregation, “Mr. Miller, don't you know that Spicer is a bad man and if he had his just deserts he would be behind the bars at the penitentiary at Salem? The complaint proceeds to say that at a meeting of the church later Mr. Gibson asked the congregation to grant certifi- cates of dismissal from the church to Spicer and his wife who were members in good standing. It Is averred that this action on the part of the pastor was in- tended to convey the meaning that Spi- cer was a bad man and an unfit person to be a member of the church and that he should be expeiled therefrom. A number of years ago Spicer went from Portland to Wardner, Idaho, where he engaged In the wheat business. He eventually lost money and turned over a brick buflding at Wardner and other securities to one of the banks. The of ficers of the bank afterward had Spleer arrested for disposing of certain wheat in a warehouse. Spicer was tried and ac- quitted In the State Cireult Court. FHis defense was that he had a right to seii the wheat andgthat the bank was more than secured for the amount he owed it. —_———————— LONDON STOCK MARKET IS BECOMING STEADIER Disposal of Alarmist Rumors of War Between Russia and Japan Ha Quieting effect.
