The plans for the grand review of the troops at the Presidio and the en- tertainment to be given to the distin- guished guest are all upset by the ca- blegram that Governor Taft has sent to General MacArthur.

According to the present arrang ments the reception to the new Secre. tary will take place immediately after steamer Korea passes through the den Gate. That is, the formal »ting from the representatives of the Government will be extended to the distinguished official by Colonel George Andrews, adjutant general ol the Di vision of the Pacific, who goes as rep resentative of General MacArthur, and Major Parker W. West, aid to General MacArthur. The Siocum will then proceed imme- diately to the ferry slip at the foot of | Market street, where the Secretary will board the ferry leaving at 10 a. m. to connect with the through train to the | st. it was the original intention to land he Secretary at Oakland mole, but the ocum is too deep draught to land here, so the ferry slip will be the ob- e point. Why the new Secretary is to be hur- th ried through in such great haste may | lead 1o many conjectures. Perhaps the sounds of war in Japan and at the isthmus of Panama may have had something to do with the Secretary’s movements, and this is the only pos- sible apology that can be offered to San Francisco for his not remaining here long enough to inspect so impor- tant a post as the Presidio and to give him an insight into the harbor, its de- fenses and its needs. NEEDS OF THE PRESIDIO. ) post prominent before the nation to-day from a military standpoint as the Pre- sidio, and no post has received so little attention and so little consideration from the Government. No post in the Unicn can to-day boast of so many troops quartered within its environ- ments, and no post is so inadequately fitted for the housing of these troops. It that during the last months improvements to the extent of ,000 have been made. These, were actual necessities. Practically if not all the troops going to and coming from the Philippines pass through here, and the post should | from its standpoint of importance be placed second to none in this coun- | try. All had calculated that the visit of the Secretary would bring about the desired results. General MacArthur has decided to postpone the grand review of all the troops announced for Wednesday morn- | ing until a later date. e e The overworked Eye. the faded Eye, the red and inflamed Eye, the Eye that needs care. relieved by Murine Eye Rem- edy. jtall druggists. . ——r—— State Official's Father Expires.

The explosive publication in | The Call yesterday that the police were actively engaged in searching for evi- dence to warrant the arrest of at least | three accomplices of Soeder created considerable comment in police circles. Work on this line is still being dili- | gently carried on. | As in the first stages of the Durrant | and Botkin murder cases, the police | are either denying the truth of or con- | fessing sabsolute ignorance as to the | news published concerning evidence discovered by them. According to Captain of Detectives Martin he has accomplished nothing in | | the case. Iiver since the discovery of the murder of Blaise, Captain Martin has had but one answer to all ques- tions—"There is nothing new."” TIME LOST BY THE POLICE. Eight hoursh were lost to the police by the actions of Captain Martin on the day the murder was reported. When the information was sent to police | headquarters that Blaise had been | found dead with his throat cut, Mar- tin visited the scene of the crime and { then declared that the case was one of accident. Then he changed his mind | and declared it was suicide, and it was { not until the insurance men appeared at police headquarters that Martin ad- | mitted that the case was one of mur- | der. In the meantime Soeder was allowed | to roam around the city, take his | clothes to a cleaning works; pawn his | revolver and make away with any evidence that might have had a direct bearing on the murder of Blaise. All the evidence in the possession of the police has been secured by the work of Detective Tom Gibson. Gibson was not put on the case until Soeder had had every opportuni*- to cover up his tracks and destroy important evidence. ‘While Gibson will not talk and his superiors refuse to give out any in- | formation, it is known that the police are working on the lines that a con- | spiracy existed that led to the murder | of Blaise for the rurpose of securing | money on insurance policies on the life of the dead man. | th is known positively that Chief of { | i | | olice. Wittman has telegrams in his possession, sent from New York and Europe, proving that others were asso- clated with Soeder in the conspiracy { that led t> murder. | WARNED TO KEEP SILENT. |~ All persons intérviewed by the police { have been warned to say nothing con- cerning the case to any one except the Getectives detailed to secure informa- | tion, while some persons have been threatened with arrest. The reason for the secrecy maintained by the police is that they desire to secure sufficient evi- dcnce to warrant the arrest of other | perscns. They are perfectly satistied | that they now have sufficient evidence { to warrant the conviction of Soeder on {a charge of murder. Up to two days ago the police lacked | | the evidence of some person to disprove | the alibi of Soeder that he spent the | evening of the murder in his room. The police now have a witness to prove that Soeder was seen in a saloon on Pacific street drinking with a woman on the Sunday night that Blaise was murdered. The time that Soeder was seen in the saloon was two hours after the hour that Blaise was murdered, the time of death being fixed at between 9 and 9:30 p. m. by medical testimony. Detective Thomas Gibson has found a woman named Teresa, an habitue of the O. K. saloon dance hall, 517 Pa- cific street, who drank with Leon Soe- der on Sunday night, two hours after Blaise was murdered on Russian Hill. The girl told Gibson and John Grasso, proprietor of the saloon, that she is positive that the man was Soe- der, because he had been there on several occasions before, and once while there he had his brother-in-law Blaise with him. The woman's evidence is of the greatest value, for it discredits Soe- der’s former statement that he was in | i i his room all last Sunday evening, | when Blaise met his death. The po- {lice have the woman under surveil- lance. DESIRED HIS TRUNK STOLEN. That Soeder was prepared to enter into desperate criminal acts is still fur- ther proven by evidence secured yes- terday. James Bowie, a cook. residing at 749 Harrison street, has informed Detective Gibson that he had known Soeder for seven years. Three weeks ago Bowie met Soeder and Blaise on Third street. Soeder took Bowie into-a saloon and made a proposition to him to steal his !'trunk from the house of Miss/Catherine Flatley, 300 Marshall street, and prom- ised him $40 for the work. Shortly afterward Soeder met a cook who is a friend of Bowie and promised him $20 to_assist Bowie in stealing the trunk. Bowie and his friend decided to have nothing to do/with Soeder, knowing that he was an ex-convict and. feared he was leading them into a trap. Soeder’s reason for asking the two FOOTPADS RO ITALIAN BAKER Antone Luporini Is Relieved of $130 by Two Thugs While He Is on Way to His Home e ARy S CRIMINALS MAKE ESCAPE e bt Officers and Pedestrians Give Chase to Fleeing Men Who Eludes Pursuit Among Cars —_— Antone Luporini, an Italian baker, was held up an robbed of $130 early Monday morning. Luporini was walk- ing up Broadway, near Montgomery | avenue, when two men wearing black masks jumped out from a dark door- way and, thrusting revolvers into the Italian's face, commanded him to turn over his cash. Luporini did 1ot see the men until they had pounced upon him. He start- ed to resist, and was promtply rapped on the head with tke butt of a revoiver. | The baker was momentarily stunned hyl‘ the blow, but was conscious enough to know that one. of the thugs still had him covered, while the other was going throu=h his pockets. Taking the $130, £l the money the un- fortunate man had in his possession, the two robbers started to run down Broadway to the water front¥ Luporini had a police whistle, and as soon as the thieves started to run he blew it vig- orously. Officers Silver and Minahan, who happened to be in the neighborhood, heard the whistle and clLased the flee- ing robbers down Bro:dway. They were joined by several vedestrians and pursued the thugs to a paint near the water front, where they escaped among the numerous freigl.t cars that line the, streets at that place. The pursuit was very exciting for the time that it lasted. The. police . are still working on the case and hope to apprehend- the criminals before long. HEART DISEASE KILLS GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN NEW YORK, Jan. 18.—George Fran- cis Train died to-night from heart dis- ease at Mills’ Hotel No. 1, where he has lived for some years. The heart disease followed an acute attack of nephritis. “Citizen” George Francis Train was born in Boston on March 24, 1829. In 1833 his mother and three sisters died of vellow fever at New Orleans and he | was sent north to his grandmother in | Waltham, Mass. He attended village gchool and successively became farm hand, grocer boy and shipping clerk. At the age of 20 he was a partner in a business concern, afterward estab- lishing a branch office in Liverpool. He was married in Loulsville, Ky., to | Wilhelmina_Wilkinson, a daughter of | Colonel G. T. M. Davis. Train established the Arm of Train & Co., shipping agents, in Melbourre, Australia, in 1853, and became a pro- | moter of railroad building in FEurope and America in 1858. He organized the commune in Marseilles in 1870, and | was tried for insanity in 1872. In the same vear he made an independent canvass for the Presidency of the United States. Train made four trips around the world, holding the record for fast trav- | eling. He wrote several books, includ- | ing “An American Merchant in Eu- rope, Asia and Australia,” “Young America Abroad,” “Irish Independence” | and “‘Championship of Women." v sl Passing of Loraine Rogers. NEW YORK, Jan. 18.—Loraine Rogers, an old and well known theat- rical manager, is dead at Spring Val ley, N. Y., of apoplexy. Rogers, who | was 70 years of age, was owner and organizer of the Brooklyn Theater when it was burned many years ago, with accompanying great loss of life. Since the death of his wife, Charlotte | Thompson, the actress, ten years ago, he had retired. g = A A I MAKES LAST R James G. Resseguie, Railroad Engin- eer Dies Suddenly.

REPLBLICANS ARE CONFIDENT Prediet That Lost Ground in Second Congressional District Will Be Regained Next Fall —_—— ASPIRANTS IN THE FIELD cei gty Party Stands Excellent Chance of Electing a Solid Delega- tion From the Golden State e i The election next November of a solid Republican Congressional delega- | tion from California would not create ! much surprise in the political camps. | The preliminaries for the contest in the | Second District are now under consid- | eration. The counties of Mendocino, | Glenn, Colusa, Butte, Sutter, Yuba, | Saeramento, Yolo, Lake, Napa, Sonoma | and Marin comprise this district, which is now represented in Congress by The- odore A. Bell of Napa. It is common ! gossip that the Republicans, under fairly acceptable leadership. can regain the lost ground next November. It is regarded as settled that Mr. Bell will | be renominated by the Democrats. At the general election in November, 1902, Frank L. Coombs, the Republican nominee, received 21,181 votes. Theo- ! dore A. Bell received 21,536. Sacra- | mento County, much to the surprise of | the Republicans, gave the Democratic candidate for Congress a small major- | ity. ‘The clashing of the Flint and Gage forces for control of certain dele- gations to the Republican State con- vention caused a bitter firht against | Mr. Coombs. The fight did not end’ with the adjournment of the State con- vention, but was prolonged until the day of election. Tles of personal friend- ' ship and fraternal association impelled ! the Republican nominee for Congress | to express sympgthy with Mr. Flint's aspiration for gubernatorial honors. Leaders of the anti-Flint faction retal- iated by knifing Coombs at the general election. At present harmony reigns in the | Republican camp of the Second Dis- | trigt. As no election for Governor is pending there are no indications that disturbing elements will be thrown into the Congressional contest. It is re- ! ported that Assistant United States Attorney D. E. McKinlay of Sonoma is willing to accept the Republican nomi- nation for Congress in this district. Efforts are being put forward to induce Judge John A. Barham of Santa Rosa. who represented the old First District in Congress for several terms, to re- enter the political arena. Word comes from Yuba County that Colonel E. A. Forbes may be chosen to carry the’ party’'s standard in the coming Con- gressional battle, Frank L. Coombs is practicing law in Napa. Many of his old-time adkerents advise him to ask for the nomination. It is predicted that he would defeat his former antagonist, | Theodore A. Bell. It is said that M. | Coombs will await the turn of events. Republicans who are familiar with ex- isting conditions in the district are con- fident that the Democrats cannot hold | the advagntage gained two years ago. It is admitted that Mr. Bell is per- sonally popular and also energetic, but | the party he represents cannot win | against united Republicans. L4 S e met with an accident in Virginia City | some time ago and was brought to this city for treatment. | He was 84 years of age and was the last of the old Comstock resident mil- lionaires. He leaves an estate of a value of $1,750,000, of which $500,000 is in Spring Valley Water Compaiy | bonds and other local securities; a| $250,000 judgment recently given him ; in the United States Circuit Court against Polk County, Missouri, and, $200,000 in Nevada property. ' In a will executed on November 16 last Douglass bequeathed his entire | estate to two nephews, W. J. and R. | L. Douglass. Another nephew, W. G. | Douglass, Secretary of State of Ne-, vada, is not provided for in the will. but it is understood that his uncle settled on him a large sum of money some months ago. HUFF'S LIFE ENDS. | i i ‘Well Known Interpreter Passes Away | in Sanitarium. | Harry S. Huff, for many years Chi- nese interpreter in the county and Federal courts, died yesterday in a local sanitarium, to which he was committed recently. He was a native of Maine, 45 years of age, and is sur- vived by two sisters. | A few years ago Huff was convicted of killing a2 man. - Many of his friends contended that he was justified in the act and when he was liberated they interested themselves in his behalf and secured for him the appointment of interpreter in the United States courts.. It became apparent some time ago that the killing was still preying on his mind and the worst | fears of his friends were realized sev. eral weeks ago, when Huff was pro- nounced insane. He was sent to th local sanitarium with little hope of recovering. The funeral will be held to-morrow afternooh from the undertaking par- lors of Porter & White. The inter- ment will be in Odd Fellows' Cem- etery. —_— Life's Curtain Lowers. ALAMEDA, Jan. 18.—William Lan- sing, a veteran actor who trod the boards with Booth and Barrett, Irv- ing and other noted tragedians, passed away Saturday night at the County Infirmary, to which institution he was conveyed from this city six weeks ago.

NICEL | Clever Acting by Them Hides Some Structural Defeets in Farcical Comedy, “Mrs. Jack™ MELODRAMA AT CENTRAL P T “A Bowery Girl’’ Wins Favor of Large Audience—Mrs. Langtry Continues to Attract Cx'owdsf . AT | | i Hilarity ran riot last evening.in the audience compartment of the Alcazar while the first act of “Mrs. Jack” was in progress, but after that there was gradual subsidence of the mirth unm! the outbursts became infrequent and | weak of volume. It was no fault of the | players that the fun fatled of suste- nance, for no coterie of stagefolk ever scientious endeavor to make the most of the material assigned them. They were in nowise responsible for the structural defects of the play. “Mrs. Jack” was written by Grace Livingston Furniss, and is classified as “‘a farcical comedy in three acts.” The | | | | | first act is chockful of smart dialogue that compensates to some extent for inadequate action and the farcical ele- ment is well sustained. But Grace Liv- ingston Furniss evidently exhausted her grabbag of epigrams on the first chapter, for the lines of the two suc- | ceeding ones are largely reiterative and much given to unnecessary interchange of reminiscence. And the climax of act 2 is a bit of melodrama—masked bur- glars, revolvers and impossible heroics —so pronounced that the gallery at the Central would demand a dozen repeti- tions of it. Act 3 is mostly composed of platitudes clothed in slang. Some- body is “up against it” or else it is “up to”” somebody. After the initial act the plece is chiefly remarkable for its in- consistencies. In the title part Miss Adele Block's vivacity was .artistically modulated, and she only displayed overexuberance when she could not very well exercise repression and make her idea intelligi- ble. Miss Adele Belgarde was appro- priately statuesque as a brummagem Knickerbocker dame, and M\iss Fran- ces Starr has seldom had better oppor- | tunity to show her ingenue piquancy than she is afforded in the role ¢ Cher- ry Perry, soubrette. Miss Marie Howe, never a misfit, played the Irish aunt charmingly. The men moved through the piece nicely, and for a first produc- tion the hitches were notably few and ingeniously repaired. Indeed, in the nds of a company less in harmony +and equipped with less readiness of re- re- | source, “Mrs. Jack” would “ave flected even less luster upon the lady who constructed it. Central. A big audience at the Central Theater got the worth of jts money in the min- comedy that go make up the plot of “A Bowery Girl."” There are sensations in évery act, but the most thrilling ones are a dynamite explosion, in which the villain gets the worst of his own job, and the burning | of a tenement house, in which the hero- ipe is imprisoned. The brave rescue of the girl from the flames enthused the ! audience to the extent of four or five curtain calls. “A Bowery Girl” con- tains all the elements of an up-to-date | melodrama and will be a very strong | bill all this week at the Central. For | the week beginning January 25 a big | spectacular production of “Quo Vadis” | is announced. Fischer's. !
