Witnesses Declare That Tib- bet Named Man Who Shot Him. RN NS Special Dispatch to The Call BAKERSFIELD, Nov. 17.—A most dramatic scene occurred this afternoon in the courtroom during the Hulse trial when Mrs. Rebecca Tibbet, the aged mother of William E. Tibbet, the offi- cer who 18 said to have been killed by Hulse, took the witness stand. Mrs. Tibbet is about 75 years old, but, although feeble, her voice was firm and calm and was heard in all parts of the courtroom as she recited the sad scenes at the side of her dying son. “When I came to him,” said Mrs. Tib- most influential men of New York,| D€t ‘“he looked at me and said, Milwaukee and - | ‘Mother." I said to him, ‘Do you know el ekt me, Will” He said, ‘Yes, mother. I The purpose of the California and Oregon Coast Railroad is to build a line from Grants Pass to Eureka. The new company absorbs the old Oregon and Pacific and is more extensive in its | scope than the former company, as it | was the original intention to build a| line only from Grants Pass to Crescent | City, while the new road will extend on south, connecting with the northern- bullt line to Eureka or some point on Humboldt Bay. As has been previously stated in The | Call, the survey for the proposed road has been completed and the grade| stakes have been set over a large part of the route. Right of way has also been secured for a greater part of the | line. Grounds for sidings and stations | have beems granted, and the company is ready to begin the actual construc-| tion of the road with the arrival of the | spring months. | The California and Oregon Coast| Raliroad will be 191 miles in length | and will practically follow the line of the Grants Pass-Crescent City stage road for a distance of forty-five or fifty miles south of Grants Pass. The road | will touch at Wilderville, Selma, Kerby, | Waldo, Crescent City and other points now reached by the stage road. The| road will also pass within five miles | of the copper mines of the Walda | Smelting and Mining Company of San | Francisco, and a branch line will lead | am suffering terribly.

During this recital there was a death- like silence in the crowded courtroom. One could have heard a pin drop, so intense was the stillness. Richard Smith, Edward Tibbet, brother of the murdered officer, and J. B. Hunt testified to hearing the abow: conversation and also the statement of Tibbet that Hulse had shot him. Miss Calla Withington, Mrs. George Lemay and Mrs. Charles O. Daniel who reside on K street, about one Dblock from the scene of the tragedy, testified to hearing the shots fired and seeing a tall man wearing dark clothes and a white felt hat standing just across the street from the josshouse, where Peter Began yesterday testified that Hulse stopped for a minute or two im his flight. —_———————— FIERCE FIRE VISITS A TOWN IN OREGON ‘Wasco Suffers Severely From a Buin- ing Blaze and One Man Is Injured. ‘WASCO, Or., Nov. 17.—The people of ;.| Fair Members of a Tacoma Congre- of thelr | | friends and feel deeply grateful there- | Dr. and Mrs. Howard Morrow, Dr. and | Mrs. George Ebright, Mr. and Mrs. An- | directly to the mines from Waldo to Takilma.

At present the ex- | tent of his injuries cannot be ascer- \tamed. but it is thought that they are inot of a fatal nature. | movement was started by Dr. Daniel L. Rader, pastor of the church, who in- sists that he cannot preach to the best advantage when he doesg not see the eyes of his parishioners. Modern head- gear, with its overhanging effects, does not permit the pastor to see the faces | or at least the eyes of members of his congregation. He feels that he is not obtaining their full interest and sympa- thy. The men of the congregation ap- prove the stand taken by the pastor, | while strenuous objections are being raised by members of the gentler sex and particularly by the young women | who wear new hats which they are not | averse to displaying. For several months Pastor Rader has been making a quiet but determined ef- fort to have all female church-goers doff their bonnets. The point is also made that if they can remove them theaters as required by a city ‘ai- nance they can also do so in church while worshiping. The agitation is rapidly approaching a point where a flat decision one way or the other musat be made. Possibly a vote of the con- gregation will be taken. —— MILLER AND JOHNS TRIAL RESUMED IN CINCINNATI Former First Assistant Attorney in the Postoffice Department Gives Important Testimony.
