NOVEMBER 17, 1903. C ARIZONA'S PLEA FOR STATERGOD Governor Brodie Asks for Interior Depart- ment’s Aid. Executive’s Report Contains Numerous Recommen- dations. RO e ek 41 WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.—Governor Brodie of Arizona in his annual report to the Secretary of the Interior urges that the Interior Department aid in se- curing the passage of an enabling act| for the admission of Arizona to State- hood. He says, however, that the peo- | ple of the Territory would rather fore- | go Statehood than accomplish it by union with any other State or part of any other State or Territory. The Governor recommends that Con- i | gress reimburse Pima County for $318,- 275 for what the | Injustice Governor calls “an committed by Congress in passing an act validating certain Pima County narrow gauge rallroad bonds, after the entire issue of such bonds had been declared by the Supreme Court of the United States to be in- valid and void, and for which Pima County had never received value.” The Governor recommends that the Indian school facilities in Arizona be increased and that measures be taken to more properly care for the gradu- proper employment; that a levee be built to prevent the overflow of culti- vated land along the Colorado Rivel‘i by the annual freshets; that a system | of tree planting be inaugurated by the | Division of Forestry for the benefit of the watersheds of the Territorial streams and that irrigation projects be pusghed. The total population of Arizona is es- timated at 155,000. The total taxable wealth aggregates $43,088,041 and the total Territorial indebtedness is placed | at $1,064,594. | @ il @ SIMPLE RITES MARK SERVICES Many Friends Attend Funeral of Orestes Pierce.

Sichel, paid an official visit last night to Templar Grove No. 19 of the United Ancient Order of Druids. There was a large attendance of | members of the grove and of sister | groves. | This grove, one of the oldest in this jurisdiction, demonstrated by its reports that it i= In a prosperous condition and | that during the last term it expended a large sum of money for the relief of dfs- | tressed and sick members. The work of the order in the first degree was exempli- | fied by the officers recently installed in a manner that won for them many words of praise. It was also shown that during last term the grove added to Its membership by initiation. ~After an address by the noble grand arch and the grand secretary | there was an adjournment to the ban- | quet hall, where supper was served. Past Supreme Arch Louls G.

Hhis A Young Man Who Was Her Escort on Fateful Night Is Missing. i PEORIA, Iil, Nov. 16.—Miss May Hen- niger, a prominent young lady of Bishop, who was suppesed to have eloped, was found dead to-day in a pasture near her home. Her body was mutilated and half- | buried. Miss Henniger accompanied Fred Strub- ble, a neighbor's son, to a supper and so- | cial given at the country schoolhouse, a short distance from the girl's home, Sat- urday evening. When she failed to re- turn her parents were greatly alarmed, but as neither she nor Strubble could be found, it was supposed that they had eloped and would be heard from in a few days. The discovery of the girl's remalins aroused the community, but all efforts of the authorities to locate Strubble’s where- abouts have proven unavailing. The con- | ditlon of the body indicated a desperate struggle. The girl was the daughter of Newton Henniger, a prominent farmer. e ] FULDBIZES LATE PROFESSOR SYLE President Wheeler Pays Tribute to Dead Teacher. SeoEay Berkeley Office San Francisco Call, 2148 Center street, Nov. 16. President Wheeler of the University late Professor L. Du Pont Syle, form- erly professor of English literature and dramatic art, in & memorial letter pub- lished to-day at the university. The letter reads as follows: The untimely end of Professor Syle's career as scholar. and teacher must bring pain to every one who had occasion to know his brilliant gifts and to expe- rience the helpfulness of his instruction. He possessed undoubtedly a rare sense for the fineness and dignity of English dramatic literature and had shown unus- ual tact and good taste in giving English plays a worthy setting upon the college stage. Any one who saw the Charter Day play of 1900 could not fail to know that a mastér hand was in control. It would. I believe, have given highest sat- isfaction to his talents and to his ambi- tion could he have developed here a de- | partment of dramatic criticism and art, using the actual representation of plays as the concrete and practical form of instruction, through which the theoreti- cal and ideal might be given body and form. His natural talents as a teacher were greatly enhanced in value by natural interest which he took in_th interest and the points of view of those he taught. There are hosts of students from many classes who bear thankful- ness toward him in their hearts, not only for what he taught them, but for the in- terest he showed in their troubles and perplexities as well as in their joys and successes. In the face of these sunnier memories of his work and desire we for- get the shadows that ill health brought upcn his mood and life; for the sunshine is there forever, and the shadows are but for a day. The Californian, the college daily, also paid a tribute to Professor Syle in | morning, | the editorial columns this saying of him “that his name is dear to hundreds of students who have had the opportunity of listening to him in the classroom.” ———————— PERSONAL MENTION.

Pl e Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Nov. 16. George Dunbar, a self-confessed bur- glar, was sentenced to twenty-five vears in San Quentin this morning by | Judge Ogden. Upon hearing the sen- tence a young girl, whose identity was not disclosed but who was evidently in- | terested in the young criminal, fainted ' and had to be taken from the court- room. Dunbar himself gave no evidence of unusual feeling in regard to the sen- | tence. He did not see the girl. She re- | fused to give her name or acknowledge | that she knew Dunbar. A girl friend who was with her, however, said they had come to see what ‘“would be done to_him.” ‘While Dunbar is not yet 30, he has already established a reputation for himself as a crook and is known to every policeman in San Francisco, where he has done most of his work. He has seven prior convictions against him, and his admission of two of them in connection with the present charge was responsible for the severity of the sentence imposed upon him. The girl that fainted looked hardly out of her teens and wept bitterly. Be-| fore Dunbar can again enjoy his free- dom he will be an old man. A plea for mercy was made by Dun- bar’s attorney, T. V. Eddy, who stated to the court that the prisoner had | saved the county the expense of a trial | and also that he was the only surviv- | ing child of an aged mother. Judge Ellsworth in reply said the most pain- ful part of his duty was the infliction of suffering upon Iinnocent persons through the wrongdoing of those con- nected with them. For the good of the | public he stated that he believed it his John Smith, a pal of Dunbar's and | charged with the same offense, bur-| glarizing a room in the Windsor Hotel, | withdrew a plea of not guilty and| pleaded guilty. He was represented by | Attorney Arthur Mack of San Fran- cisco, who asked that sentence be post- | poned until next Monday. TIKES OFF TWD THROUGH TRHIS Reuarrangement of the Chicago-San Fran- cisco Service. Special Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, Nov. 16.—In the interest of economy the managements of the Southern Pacific-Union Pacific, the St. | Paul and the Northwestern railroads | have decided to make reductions and changes in the Chicago-California ser- i vice, beginning next Sunday. The two | through trains which are known as | Nos. 5 and 4 will be discontinued as | through trains and the service between | Chicago and Denver will be rearranged, | although not diminished. The trains of | the Nbrthwestern and St. Paul rail- | roads which run between Chicago and | the Pacific Coast bear the same num- | bers and are united at Omaha, where | they are taken up by engines of the | Union Pacific. [ The St. Paul train, No. 5, now leaves Chicago at 9:35 a. m., and the North-| western a few minutes later for San Francisco and Los Angeles, and Port- ! land and Seattle. The opposite train, No. 4, leaves San Francisco at 8 a. m., and arrives at Chicago at 9:50 p. m. | These trains are to be taken off. In order that the Chicago-Denver service may not be diminished, nor the ' Chicago-Omaha service, the two rail- roads out of Chicago have decided to put on new Chicago-Denver trains, to| be known as No. 11. These trains will | leave Chicago-at 10 a. m. on the St.| Paul and the Northwestern and will| be combined at the Missouri River, ar-| riving at Denver at 2:30 p. m. | —————— | POTRERO HAS BRANCH ! EMERGENCY EOSP!TAL; Much-Needed Institution Is Estab-| lished in Thickly Populated | Section. A branch emergency hospital opened at the Potrero yesterday. It is: located on Kentucky street, betwee Eighteenth and Nineteenth, and is mod- | ern in every particular. { A hospital for this section of the city | has been the principal aim of Chief Sur- geon Edwin Bunnell. He appreciated the necessity of a hospital in that thickly pop- ulated section. In the daytime more than ten thousand men are engaged in hazard- ous employment in the neighborhood, and if injured must be conveyed a great dis- tance for treatment. This will not be necessary in future, as physiclans will be in attendance to look after the in- Jured. The hospital is fitted up with a ward for patients, a reception-room and office, an operating room and quarters for the stewards and drivers. There is a stable In the rear. The latest apparatus used by the Fire Department will be installed in order that the horses may be hitched in- stantaneously. Acting under the authority of the Board of Health,. Chief Surgeon Bunnell has as- signed the following staff to the new hos- pital: Dr. George L. Painter; steward, Robert Doeffner: drivers, J. Meisner and J. Leuterdt. The surgeon will be at the hospital from 8 a. m. to 5 p. m. After the latter hour all cases will be taken to the Emergency Hospital or the City and County Hospital. was | | MEN WITH YELLS Students Gather Around Players Who Fought for Victory. ““Rooters” and *‘Co-eds” Unite | in Welcoming Team Back. —_— Berkeley Office San Francisco Call, 2148 Center street, Nov. 16. The varsity football men were given | a royal welcome at an impromptu nlly} this morning on the sward opposite Harmon Gymnasium. Instsad of the regular Monday morning drill the “rooters,” assisted by the ‘‘co-eds,” “rooted” for the men who tried so hard to bring back victory after last Satur- | day’s fight on the fleld. The “ifs” and | the “might have beens” were all| omitted, so that there would be more | room for the more encouraging words. | Yell Leader Philip Carey, perched | upon & box on the fleld, led the deep- | throated and the shrill-piped. The | “‘oski wows” were a little husky, but | loud enough to be heard at Berkeley station. Brief addresses were made by President Wheeler, Orva! Overall, “Sam” Stow, “Little” Mini, Colonel George C. Edwards, Walter Christie and “Jack” Whipple. | “That was a good game Saturday,” ! President Wheeler said. “The team | | represented us and we are going to| stand by it. I have nothing to criticise | and no one should be allowed to eriti- | cise anything. I saw Stanford make | her first touchdown Saturday. And I don’t want to see her do it again. Ii once saw California make a score of 30 to 0. I like 40 to 0 better. Let's make it 40 to 0 next year. “We have good material for a team | here next year. It grieves us to lose | a man like Overall. Not altogather be- | cause he is a good football piayer, but | also because he is a good man. We| will have to get somebody to fill his | place and the places of the others. We can do it. We don’t have to have all four-year men. A few good ones will | form the bulwark of the team and we | can develop others who will improve in time.” | Captain Overall was cheered when he said the team had done its level best. It was lucky and yet unlucky that the team scored and was scored sgainst. | “The main thing,” he said, “is to look | out for next year. We lose many of our | veterans. Stanford retains most of | hers. We must get a team together | that will beat them.” The addresses by the other players were brief and referred mainly to the work of the team in Saturday’s contest. Trainer Christie had something to say about breaking the training rules and appealed to the co-eds to help out in the future. ! ——————— FRED J.

Nicholson presented to the Navy De- partment a knotty problem. The pro- test went direct from the Bureau of Navigation to the Secretary of the Navy without the judge advocate gen- eral passing on it. After considering the matter in all its details, it is said, Sec- retary Moody concluded to sustain Ad- miral Evans. Later the Secretary changed his mind and at Secretary Moody's instance Assistant Secretary Darling took the matter up. It is under- stood he takes the position that Ad- miral Evans in unequivoeal terms at- tacked the integrity of the members of the court, and that, having done this, and if he had the evidence at hand to sustain his charge, it was his duty at once to order a court-martial of the officers to whom his remarks were di- rected. Not having so acted, it is un- derstood, Mr. Darling holds that the admiral was derelict in his duty and The matter had reached this stage when Secretary Moody determined to eniist the legal talents of Secretary Root, who, it is understood, has given his view of the case, It is said to-day that it is Secretary Moody's present intention to return to Admiral Evans the findings in the Nicholson case, with a notification that he had decided to dismiss the protest Briscoe and Wil- liams, but warning the admiral not to repeat the offense. —_————————— MARTIN IS EXONERATED BY BOARD OF EDUCATION Committee Finds Charges Against Him Are Not Supported by the Facts. OAKLAND, Nov. 16.—The City Board of Education at a meeting this even- ing finally disposed of the charges pre- ferred against Principal 1. D. Martin of the Grant School by Cecil A. E. Hitch- cock, who charged that Martin had brutally abused his son, by exonerat- ing the principal. The committee ap- pointed to investigate the affair re- ported that the charges were not borne out by the evidence in the case and that the teacher had exercised unusual self-control in his dealing with the boy and recommended that be he exonmer- ated. The report of the committee was nanimously adopted. The resignation of Josephine G. Kelly as a teacher in the Oakland School De- partment was tendered the board and the same was accepted.
