He de- d ever met Soeder before Soeder went to his Jackson-street aid he had lived in the house he is at present occupying for prior to that lived on Broadway, near the Latin quarter. Detective Gibson will give Mrs. de Lareuelle a chance to see nd further complete her identification. He would have done so Neiblas was at work at the Vermont Marble Works, where as a marble polisher. are still working in the Barbary Coast section of town and w that Soeder was not in his room, as he has stoutly main- -d, on the night Blaise was murdered on the side of Russian Hill. The w piece of evidence supplied will be followed and if Neiblas is the man and overa eiblas employed s whom Mrs. de Lareuelle saw he will be given a chance to explain why he has kept quiet the fact that he delivered the gray suit that Soeder is Knowr have worn on the night of the murder. Although Neiblas has viewed many times in regard to what he knows about the move- ier on the night of the murder he has not given the police ny definite knowledge as to whether Soeder was in his room at the time he says he was or not. s - did on the night of January 10. Further evidence showing the criminal nature of Soeder was found yes- terday by Detective Gibson. A man named C. Webster, a sea cook, residing % Fremont street, called at the Hall of Justice and told Gibson that he d worked with Soeder in Alaska for several years. “Once while we were on shipboard,” said Webster, “Soeder was working @5 a cook and the captain asked him to make his, the captain’s, wife, some bisc Soeder had a lot of morphine, chloroform, cantharides and other poisons in his trunk and remarked that if the captain’s wife wanted biscuits, she would eat them in hell’ I met him on the street a few days before the murder of Blaise and remarked to him that he was looking fine. I asked him if he was going to Alaska this year again, and he said that he was not, as he was going to have all the money he wanted in a few weeks.” The police regard this as good evidence, as.it helps to verify that of a flar nature already obtained. A letter from Blaise's wife written January 19, the day Blaise was mur- dered, arrived at 827 Jackson street yesterday. The police took it in charge. is a pathetic incident, as it was written on the day Blaise met his death. + Waiter Found Dead in Bed. ‘l‘esumm{hl to Mme.

Large buvers of salt that have been holding back notwithstanding the pres- ent low price for salt having in view the possibility that a still lower level might be reached were interested, be- cause the return of harmony between the warring salt companies would cause an immediate rise in the market. Inquiry led to the fact that there is no compromise in signt nor is there any chance of a near settlement of dif- ferences. Ton salt, which is the col- léctive way of describing several grades, was going freely yesterday to any one that wanted it for $4 a ton, or perhaps lower. Yet there were not many buyers. The fish companies that have immediate need of salt have laid in their winter stock, but their greatest necd is in the spring. Then, naturally, the heaviest buying takes place. It is not supposed by any of the salt buy- ers that the war now in progress can be maintained until spring. On the other hand, the companies, the Amalgamated and the Imperial, eventually will be reached, deny that the situation is liable to change for [some time. There are at least 120,000 tons of salt that are in the hands of the companies now. This vast bulk is a sufficient supply in itself for the Pa- cific Coast for quite a long period. Rather than to have outsiders break into the market some of this salt will be practically given away. The ex- ample of the shipload of salt imported —_— ADYERTISEMENTS. QT The World'’s Greatest SKIN CURE while they agree that some settlement | from Mexico mentioned in The Call two days ago, in which instance a great loss was met, has put an end to im- portations, at least at present, The principal salt men said yester- day that the fight would now be warm and grow keener to its natural finish. The Amalgamated Company has large supplies to be manufactured on demand if they are needed. All through the business section salt is the commodity on which the eyes of merchants are focused. ——— VEREIN ARION GIVES, A CHARMING CONCERT Choruses and Vocal and Instrumental Solos Enthuse a Large and Cul- tured Audience. Choral harmony was the dominant feature of the Verein Arion’s second concert of the season last evening.in Native Sons' Hall. The audience was large and appreciative and the ap- plause that followed each number was spontaneous and merited. The verein, consisting of the Arion Maennerchor, the Arion Ladies’ Cho- rus and the Arion Mixed Chorus, was assisted by Madame Ida de Seminario, soprano; Hother Wismer, violin; C. W. Fuhrer, viola; F. C. Zeh, flute, and F. A. Ballaseyus and S. Martinez, piano. The instrumental portion of the concert contributed mightily .to the charm of the vocalism. Frederick Zech Jr. directed the music. All the choral numbers were sung with a precision that reflected intelli- gent drilling by the director and con- scientious study - by the vocalists. Madame de Seminaro’s singing . of *‘Forever” won a hearty encore, and her execution.of the Meverbeer aria enthused the audience to the point of demanding a repetition. The instru- mental solos and’ concerted numbers also received merited approval. The annual masquerade of the Ve- rein Arion is announced for February | 27 in the Post-street hall. e | WIFE MURDERER SABINS -CUTS SHORT HIS LIFE Second Attempt at Suicide .
