He rushed out to the street and as he did so he noticed a man making his way down Alice street, walking on the lawns and avolding the sidewalks. He now thinks this was the man who killed Policeman Smith. SHNUEL BANEY LD AT REST Hundreds of Friends of Departed Attend the Last Rites. — The funeral services over the remains of the late Samuel Rainey were con- ducted at his late residence, 1109 Geld- en Gate avenue, yesterday afternoon. The high esteem in which the depart- ed was held by his relatives, friends and political associates was testified to by the large gathering that assembled to pay the tribute of their love to the departed. There were men of all callings pres- ent and the house was unable to ac- commodate those that desired to join in the impressive service. The Rev. Clarence Reed, pastor of the California Methodist Episcopal Church, conducted the services at the house and at the grave at Cypress Lawn Cemetery, where all that was mortal of “Sam” Rainey was laid at rest. Out on the street was an honorary San Francisco Fire Department, under command of Chief J. Wills and Chief E. F.

Andrew Moller, | | the burglar, was sentenced to the State | penitentiary. For his courage Smith received a valuable gold locket from the jeweler as a testimonial of his bravery. | Not four hours before the fatal duel to-night the brave young officer was | in conversation with hig brother, W. B. Smith, a clerk in the employ of the Contra Costa Water Company. It was as if each had a premonition of the coming event, for the brother said to- night: FELT THE DANGER. “Jim told me he was going to stay on duty to-night an hour later than | usual because there were porch-climb-| | ers about and he was out to get them | if he could. I replied, ‘Be careful, Jim, or they'll get you.” ‘I expect to get one to-night,’ replied my brother and I again cautioned him.” “““If they do get me,’ he said, ‘T'll get them; you mark my word. “That was the last word we had until I talked to Jim to-night when he was dying at the Receiving Hospital.” Policeman Smith was appointed a regular patrolman on November 13, 1901. For seven years before his ap- pointment he had been in the employ of the Oakland Transit Consolidated. He was the son of the late James H. Smith, a prominent attorney of this city, who died several months ago. The young man’s mother survives. He was unmarried and a brother to Police Judge Mortimer Smith, Willlam B. Smith, Arthur C. Smith, Miss Julia Smith, a teacher in the Grant School, and Mrs. Wallace Stevenson. His birth- place was in Pennsylvania and he was 33 years of age. His home was with his mother at 486 Twenty-seventh street. There is little doubt that the dead burglar and his escaped pariner are the men who have been doing all of the big robberies in Oakland recently. The dead man was equipped for a burg- lary job and every part of his clothing indicated that he had done such work before. He was dressed in dark trous- ers, a brown tweed coat of different material, a red and green striped sweater and rubber-soled shoes with leather tops, much like sprinting shoes. Across the tops and sides of these shoes were scratches that gave Indication that the wearer had been climbing up or sliding down porch ‘columns. In the pockets were many loose cartridges, and a dirk in a sheath was found at- | On July t;g‘za';'::nk );"u, ind T focnd ‘;‘7""‘" The only identification mark was the who c‘;nld_ .-;«- she feels | name “Goldstein” upon his shirt.

Coroner Mehrmann made an external | logy Exempt Fire Company headed by Hen- ry Hudson, J. J. Guilfoyle, John J. Ma- hongy and C. H. Fleming. M. F. Smith commanded the members of the Vet n Firemen's Association of San Francisco. The Rev. Mr. Reed's prayer and eu- were impressive. The reverend gentleman thanked the Father for life, for joys and life’s happiness, for bright days and for the home and its tender | memories and friendship, for hope, am- bition and ideals. He thanked the Father also for the sad days of life, for, he said, these were lessons intend- ed in all conditions. In praying that the widow and rela- tives might be comforted in their hour of trial the Rev. Mr. Reed said they were there to pay a tribute to the no- ble precepts, the generosity and the thoughtful kindness that were charac- teristic elements in the large nature of the departed. The love Mr. Rainey had always shown for his home was feelingly re- ferred to and the Rev. Mr. Reed said that those present spoke one language —that of sympathy. Life, he said, was but a pilgrimage wherein men have their meetings and their farewells. Did they but know death he believed they would love it. It was but the falling to sleep and the crossing of the foun- tain of life to another land even more beautiful than this. During the service the Knickerbocker quartet, composed of Herbert Williams, Dr. R. W. Smith, D. B. Crane and L. A. Larson, sang “Nearer, My God, to Thee,” “Rock of Ages,” “Lead Kindly Light,” and after chanting the Lord's Prayer rendered the beautiful hymn, “Good Night.” The remains were taken on a speclal train to Cypress Lawn Cemetery. Eight wagon loads of beautiful floral offerings of various designs were sent by intimate friends and deposited by the side of the grave. The honorary pall bearers were Su- perior Judge Graham, Judge J. Daly, ex-City Attorney Harry T. Creswell, George Maxwell, B. M. Graney, James 8. Britt Sr., Willilam Finnigan, J. W. Riley, Fire Marshal Towe, Garret Mc- Enerney, Jules Fay, Administrator- elect M. J. Hines, Fire Commissioner J. 8. Parry, Henry Hudson and John Guilfoyie. The coffin bearers were Joseph ©O'Brien, Thomas Maxwell, Joseph Cul- ley, Williain Denhay, William O'Keefe and M. Clancy. Among the hundreds in the house of mourning were Mayor Schmitz, Dr. D, F. Ragan, Secretary of Sfate Curry, Martin Kelly, W. W. Ackerson, Fire Commissioner Barrett, Willlam Hum- phreys, Police Captain Dunlevy, Police Captain Spillane, Chief of Detectives Martin, Abe Ruef, Charles L.

When they left the train both men were exhausted and unable to travel. The country at that place is rough, sandy and cut up by gravel pits. The farmers, railroad ‘laborers and officers of the Pennsyivania Railroaw were coming up fast and soon were close on the fugitives’ heels, tracking them in the newly fallen snow. The men were seen as they dodged about in the sand, | and the farmers, most of whom were JIABLE LOFT Prominent Liveryman of Santa Barbara Is Badly Wounded. { !

Immediately afterward ‘Wilson appeared at one of the ground floor windows calling for help. He said that he had been shot by Mrs. Downey and had made his escape from the loft by sliding down a rope from one of the upper windows. The wounded man was assisted into the stable and made as comfortable as possible, while medical aid and the po- lice were summoned. He was moved | subsequently to the Cottage Hospital and at a late hour to-night was re- ported doing well. The bullet struck him in the back and glanced around on a rib under the heart and came out above the abdomen: A few minutes aft the shooting Chief of Police Ross arrived at the sta- | bl¢ and instituted a thorough search throughout the large loft for Mrs. Downey, who had not been seen to leave the premises. He was unsuccess- ful in his quest and proceeded to the railroad Station to prevent any escape on the northbound train due about that time. About 7 o'clock James Herd, a’local expressman, telephoned to the police | station that Mrs. Downey was at his | house, where she had called to see Miss | Cunniigham, a lodger. Ross and a couple of officers hurried to the house and found Mrs. Downey. She ex- pressed great surprise when arrested, saying: “I love Charles Wilson, and it | | gun on myself. I haven't been near the stable to-day-and have not seen him.” She submitted quietly to a thorough search by the police, which failed to re- | veal any weapon. Mrs. Downey continued to deny all | knowledge of the affair and stood the most rigid cross-questioning without flinching. She was told by the officers that Wilson was dead in the hope of eliciting a confession, and although much moved, she refused to make any | admission. POSTAL CLERK IN OREGON IS IN SERIOUS TROUBLE | He Is Accused of Destroying Second- class Mail Matter to Avoid Distributing It. BAKER CITY, Or.,, Nov. 27.—Harold Sparks, assistant chief clerk of the Baker City Postoffice, has been placeg | under arrest and suspended from duty carelessness in_ handling the United States mails. Sparks was taken before United States Commissionér F. L. Moore and bound over to await the ac- tion of the United States Grand Jury. Sparks’ offense consisted, it is al- leged, in thiowing what he considered useless mail matter, such as papers, circulars, etc., in the waste basket and burning it un to save the work and bother of distributing it. His method, while very cffective o far as getting rid of mail which doubtiess was of very little consequence. to uny one, was not in harmony with the postal laws and regulations. ——————— We have all the new pictures “and frames for the Holiday trade now on ex- hibition and sale.

BANNING, Nov. 27.—The body of an unidentified man, who evidently had been murdered, was found this morning concealed in the brush near the South- ern Pacific rallroad tracks, at a point about nine miles ‘east of here. The clothing had been- rified and nothing was left by which the identity of the victim might be escertained, with the exception of a photograph of a man and woman. The body is that of a man about 37 years of age, five feet ten imchés in height and of fair com- plexion. R e e e e e of Schroth & Westerfeld, died in this city Thursday last. The late Mr. Westerfeld was born February 12, 1826, at Neuenkirchen, Hanover, Germany. He arrived in California in 1854, coming around Cape Horn, since which time he had been a resident of San Francisco. Of an enterprising nature, the late Mr. Westerfeld embarked in other en- terprises besides the bakery with which his name became prominent,and among the other commercial enterprises he had a large interest in the Potrero Yeast and Vinegar Works. In 1888 he retired from business. Mr, Westerfeld leaves two soms, Carl and H. William Westerfeld, and two daugh- ters, Mrs. Emma Hertel and Mrs. Ida L. Ankele. The funeral services will be held at 2 o'clock this, afternoon at 1003 street and ineration will follow at 0dd Fellows' Cemetery. e gkt A 0 [ falls to curg you in ¢ to 14 days, 50c* | I had shot him I would have turned the | by Postal Inspector Clark for criminal | to the general in a New Orleans inter- view that Colombia would send 10@- 000 men into Panama ~verland, the fact is recalled that the instructions to the | United States naval officers on the | isthmus were such that they would not admit to the neighborhood of the isth- | mus any hostile forces.

PTG CANAL TREATY ASSURED. Slight Opposition to Ratification Has | Now Been Overcome. | PANAMA, Nov. 28.—The slight oppo- sition to the ratification of the canal treaty between the republic of Panama and the United States which prevailed on the isthmus a day or two ago ap- pears to have been overcome, if not altogetner dissipated. This opposition existed among a few Government of- ficlals, who hiow have been wo" over #nd thoroughly convinced by the rea- sonable arguments of their confreres. yvesterday by which the treaty was to be signed and dispatched to Washing- ton on the day of its arrival here has been abandoned because it is feared | such rapidity of action might give the impression that the treaty had been | hasty and inadequately considered and | thus lay the members of the junta open | to criticism. It is absolutely c rtain, however, that the treaty will be ratified without the slightest opposition. In Government circles here it is now said that the junta, as soon as the treaty has been ratified, will address a note to Secretary Hay asking that $2,000,000 be paid in cash to the Panama Government and that $8,000,000 shall be transferred in such a manner that it can be invested, the interest being pay- ablé to the Government. It can be said | authoritatively that the junta is still firmly opposed to undertaking t'e re- sponsibility for any portion or Colom- | bia's foreign indebtedness. —— PANAMA WELL SATISFIED. | AR | Delegate Doubts That Cauca Has Ap- | plied for Admission. NEW YORK, Nov. 27.—Dr. Pablo Arosemena, one of the delegates from the republic of Panama, when asked to- | night about a report that the Depart- ment of Cauca had made application for admission to the new republic, said: “I do not think it possible that any such overture has been made by the | Government of the department. Just | before T left Panama 1 talked with one | of the prominent men of Cauca, who | was himself an advocate of union with | Panama, and who told me that' there ! was a considerable party in the depart- | ment fvorable te such a union. That | party is, however, greatly in the minor- ity and beyond doubt Cauca's attitude | leans stronzly toward Colombia. Even | assuming that a proposition for union | should come officially from the authori- | ties of Cauca there is no manner of doubt that it would receive no consid- | eration at the hands of the republic of Panama. Panama is quite satisfied with her position as it stands.” ————— - REYES TALKS OF FORCE. | General Says That Colombia May Compel Panama to Return.

Case of Cartagena Consul Likely to % Require Investigation. COLON, Nov. 27.—Nothing can be learned here concerning a statement that Luther F. Ellsworth, the United States Consul at Cartagena at the time that he was prevented by the Cartage- nian authorities from boarding the | Royal Mail steamer Trent had any pur- | pose of taking passage to Colon. It is| believed that the Consul simply desired | to pay a social visit to the officers of | the ship. Such visits are now absolute- | ly forbidden by the regulations gov- | erning the port of Cartagena. The | naval authorities here have reported | the incfdent to the Government at | ‘Washington, and the question of send- | ing a warship to Cartagena seems to | depend upon such instructions as shall | be received from Washington. | Whether or not Consul Ellsworth | wanted to leave Cartagena, it is a fact | that a number of people of that city | recently broke into the hotel where the | .A MILLION HALE OLD GRAND- 'DADS credit their healthy old age to CASCARETS andy Cathartic, and are telling younger folks how to stay young in spirit by using CASCAR- ETS.
