SAN DIEGO, Feb. 26.—Mystery sur- rounds a visitor who came to this city last Friday and placed a 7-year-old child in the Children’s Home. She said the child was given to her by a couple in Santa Paula. Inquiry at Santa Paula develops the fact that the woman took the child there a few months ago and called for it last Thursday. The woman gave the name of Helen Rush and said the child’s name was Ramona Garcy. The little one, through an interpreter, says that her name is Maria Martinez and that the woman is known as Alice Rose. From the child it has been learned that she once lived in Honduras. After| the death of her mother' she was brought to Los Angeles by her god- mother, Castora Mara.

The little brown man, who remembered his manners in i such a strait, is J. Nuguchi, porter at The Buckingham, 655 Sutter street. | It was dinner time, on Saturday night at that hostelry. The guests | had seated themselves in the dining | | hall. Directly under a lightwell stood | a table upon which was placed the! soup tureen, Suddenly there was a rumbling, then a shattering of glass. Something ! | dropped upon the table with an awful | thud. It was Nuguchi, commonly | known as Joe. He had fallen thirty | feet through the lightwell. | ‘Women shrieked and turned away, not caring to see the mangled remains. | One man rushed out to telephone for | FALSE F . but none | fore been available which | his step and | be working harder than ever in his | the war iasts that the fatherland will | morgue. In the midst of the confusion Nugu- chi arose. Part of the transom was around his neck and the soup tureen | clung tenaciously to one foot. But | Nuguchi did not forget his manners. | _ Brushing the rice tomato from his | brow with a courtly gesture, he said: | “Excuse, please, for spill soup. I am | much sorry, if you please. Honorably pardon and I will haste to tell cook to make more soup in place of hon- orable soup which was spilled.” The guests who had been horrifled an instant before burst into laughter. | Mrs. H. Signor, the proprietor, realized | that it was no use crying over spilt | soup and forgave the penitent Jap. { When Nuguchi saw the smiles he | felt relieved. The fact that he had | escaped death by a seeming miracle | had not impressed him. He was only | concerned about the honorable soup that had been spilled. “I was reading’ the second reader, ‘whxch is a very difficult lesson,” he | explained. “Then I descented with | haste and became in the soup.” | —_—_— FRIEND -~ ROBS HEIKES Ranchman From Santa Bar- ‘ bara Vietim of Former Fel- | low Employe at Ocean Beach —_—— Edward Heikes, who came to the city yesterday from a ranch in Santa Bar- bara, is bemoaning the loss of $10 taken | from him by a false friend last night | at the beach. Heikes was invited to a dance by a friend named “Harry,” whom he met on the ranch at Santa Barbara. Harry said that the dance was to take place at the beach and es- corted Heikes there. When they reached Forty-ninth avenue and H | street a third man joined the party. They proceeded along the car tracks till they came to the Ocean boulevard. There the supposed friend ordered | Heikes to throw up his hands, at the sam> time flourishing a revolver to | enforce the demand. The other man | went through Heikes’ pockets in search of plunder. Heikes started to defend himself and was struck repeatedly with | the butt of the revolver, receiving sev- eral ugly gashes in the scalp and face. His outcries alarmed his assailants, who fled after taking $10 from him. Heikes was taken to the Park Hospital for treatment and later reported his loss and the attack to the police at | the Park station. He does not know “Harry's” last name. ———— MASONIC LODGES GUESTS OF RAILROAD PRESIDENT Special Train Carries One Hundred Members of the Order to ‘Willits. ‘WILLITS, Feb. 26.—President A. ‘W.

Famed Churchman Is Coming From Wis- consin. e A very remarkable mission, to last| ten days, is to be held at the Churchi of the Advent, Eleventh street and| Market. The missioner is to be Bishop | Wellet, coadjutor of Fond du Lae, Wis., a prelate noted for piety and elo- quence, whose consecration a few years ago astonished good old-time Episco- | palians by its elaborate ceremonial. | The congregation of the Advent Church has been preparing for the ex- pected mission by renewed devotion and self-sacrifice. The mission will be- gin on Friday, March 3, and conclude | on Sunday, the 12th. Rev. Fathers Gee of St. John's | Church, Oakland; Venables of Belve- | dere; Lathrop of Church of the Ad-| vent Parish, himself a missioner. and | the rector of St. Mary the Virgin, will | assist at the confessional and in oc- | i casional addresses.

The most advanced ceremonial will be ob- | served at the evening services and the ignificance of each form will be ex- lained. The mission will be conducted on high church principles and many conversions are hoped for. CAS EXPLOSION WRECKS HOUSE An explosion of gas in the basement of a house at 995 Lombard street last night about 8 o’clock wrecked the building and caused the serious injury | of Paul Overmohle, the occupant. Overmohle was badly burned about the face and hands and will be confinéd to his bed for some days. An alarm of fire was sent in, but before the de- partment arrived . the flames had burned themselves out. The house had been vacant for some time. It was rented last Friday to| Paul Overmohle, a driver. The new | tenant moved his furniture into the! place Saturday. He notified the gas/ company to turn on the illuminating | fluid, but reckoned not on the procras- | tinating proclivities of .the gas man. Last night, finding that the servant of the light trust had not yet put in an appearance, Overmohle thought he would turn on the gas himself. Armed with a candle the tenant wended his way to the basement. He turned on something—of that he is sure. Last night Overmohle again visited the house. He smelled gas. Tracing the odor of nitrous oxide to the base- ment, he lit a match. There was a ter- | | rific explosion. The frightened man was thrown twenty feet, landing against the wall. The gas burst into flames, burning him seriously about the head and arms. All of his hair was consumed. Every window in the house, up stairs and down, was blown out. The casements and doors were wrecked and the front wall was blown | out of plumb. The damage will amount | to_about $2000. | _The building is owned by Thomas G. | Jacques of 898 Lombard street. Overmohle was taken to a friend's house and attended by Dr. Bacigalupi. ———————————— Earl of Morley Passes Away.

The fire was discovered by a pas- serby, who burst open the front door and ran through the smoke-filled hall- ways and aroused the inmates. The i people in the house had only time to seize such clothing as was near their | beds and flee to the street. The fire- men carried out one man, having found him in a hallway overcome with smoke. He quickly revived. Neighbors took care of the occu- pants of the house and supplied them with clothing. It was necessary to sound a second alarm summoning four additional engine companies be- fore the firemen could check the spread of the flames and prevent the loss of adjoining rooming-houses with which the street-is closely lined. The property loss will not exceed $7500, but some of the guests lost property which cannot be replaced. UPHOLDS AINS OF THE UNIONS Professor Gray of North- 1 western University Defends Closed Shop and Boycott —— Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, Feb. 26.—Professor John H. Gray of Northwestern University upheld the closed shop, the sympa- thetic strike and boycott in a lecture in the Young Men’s Christian Associa- tion Auditorium this afternoon. He disagreed with Professor ot of Harvard University, who declared the non-union man a good type of the American hero, and said the man who refused to join a union was the fel- low who wanted to eat his cake and have it, too.” “Do you consider it right to pre- vent non-union men working?” asked a man in the audience, “If you mean slugging, shooting or killing him, I do not consider it right. But it is right under certain circum- stances to persuade him not to work, and it is eminently proper to refuse to work with him. Eminently proper.” Gray declared that mmuch of the an- tagonism shown to labor unions was the result of ignorance and that the average union man knew a great deal more about social science and eco-| nomic law than the average million- aire employer. “If the main objects of labor unions, which are to better the conditions of their members, are right, and I hold they are right, then it is ethically proper to resort to the sympathetic strike, the boycott, or the closed shop to carry out these objects. All of these things are purely matters of expediency. All this talk we hear about individual liberty is anarchy. A man who refuses to join a union be- cause he believes in individual liberty is an anarchist and fails to recognize the brotherhood of man. He fails to recognize that he is but one of a class.” Pt ——. PKOVES TO BE COFFIN g OF AN ENGLISHMAN In Search for Remains of Paul Jones Another Casket fa Found. PARIS, Feb. 26.—A preliminary search, which Embassados Porter is making for the body of John Paul Jones, the naval hero of the Revolu- ticnary war, recently disclosed a lead coffin. The name plate on the coflin was very much corroded, but the in- scription has finally been deciphered showing that it is the coffin of an Enpglishman buried on May 5, 1799, two years before the d2atn of Jore: Ccrsequently the coffin will not bs opened. The search will be con- tinued. The finding of this lead coffin has the advantage of establishing the fact those buried in the cemetery about the time of Jones’' death lie in the vicinity of the present ex:avations. —_———————— Loss of $100,000 Due to Fire.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 26.—Suffering from an incurable disease, destitute and without friends in this part of the world, a man who was once Willi- iam E. Gladstone's butler and was one of the heirs of England’s “Grand Old Man,” is a patient at the Los Angeles County Hospital, a public charge, dependent upon county charity for what he gets there. The man’s name is John Williams. He is a native of Wales. For eight yeary Willlams was in Gladstone’s service at Hawarden, and by him was bequeathed $2300. Com- ing to America he was for several years butler in the service of Colonel Cochrane of Boston, and many times served the late President McKinley when the latter was a guest at the Cochrane home.

PROSPECTOR Locates Six Claims He As- serts Are So Rich That the Sight Made Him Dizzy, Epecial Dispatch to The Call. TACOMA, Feb. 26.—After prospect- ing for seven years from Upper Yukon to Bering Sea, F. W. Harris has dis- covered what appears to be a moun- tain of gold-bearing ore which assures him of great fortune. Harris, in company with David A. Rearick, has located six claims on Salmon River, seven miles from where it empties into Portland Canal and seventeen miles from tide water. He describes the location as a mountain on which is exposed a vein of -ore twenty-five feet wide and so rich that it made him dizzy when he examined it. An avalanche is supposed to have lald bare the rich vein. Harris and Rearick are not certain whether the claims are In Alaska or British Co- lumbia. While gold-bearing, the ore contains enough silver to make the claim worth working on that account alone. Canadian assays show 1000 ounces of silver to the tom. PSS 0 S A s WILL VETO BILL MOVING - .

TACOMA, Feb. 26.—Governor Mead will to-morrow veto the bill sub- mitting to a vote of the people at the next general election the matter of moving the State capital from Olympia to Tacoma. The Governor regards the change of the capital as unbusinesslike in view of the coms= pletion during the present month of a Capitol at Olympia costing $600,000. The matter will be taken to the Su: preme Court, it being claimed that the law is in the form of a constitutional amendment and that the Governor has no authority to either® approve or veto it. —_—————— ENTIRE FAMILY IN JAIL ON A MURDER CHARGE Death of Lumberman Grau Leads to the Arrest of Boy and His Mother. - MISSOULA, Mont., Feb. 26.—Sheriff Graham arrived here to-night with the entire Culberson family of Heron, un- der arrest.
