Cook with lead bludgeons and robbed him of $250 Sat- urday night at Fruitvale. Cook was on his way home from his brother's | | grocery when he was laid low by the highwaymen. He is still hanging to life by a thread. A golf cap found by Sheriff Barnet near the scene of the robbery was the | | first clew to the possible identity of the robbers. The cap was-traced as the property of James Crowhurst, who was detained yesterday at the County Jail. Crowhurst readily admitted that he had owned the headgear, but he de- clared it did not fit him-so he had given it to Schneider. Acting on that and several other bits of evidence Barnet, with a large force of deputies, went on the trail of Schneider. They found that he, with young Bla-! | ker, Schneider’s sister and - a Miss Mitchell, had gone to. San Francisco. Early this morning the gquartet was overhauled.

Young Schneider has been under the attention of the authorities before. Four years ago the boy was arested for stealing: a shotgun and other articles. He with Willle Hood was sent to the County Jail for six months. They es- caped, but were recaptured. Joseph Bitterly, another boy companion of | Schneider and Hood, was sent at the same time to the Preston School of In- | dustry. at Tone. The lead pipe bludgeons that were found showed they had been cut from a section of water-pipe. Sheriff Bar- net found at the Schneider place a shingler’s hatchet which might have been used to hack off the lengths of pipe which were so wickedly used. Cook, the victim of the assault, lles unconscious at the Alameda Sani- tarium. Dr. J. H. Callen, the attending physician, said this afternoon there was no marked change in the injured man’s condition. Cook is hovering be- tween life and death with the chances against recovery. Mrs. Alice Rutherford, who resides on Rutherford avenue, near the old county road, was returning home Saturday night when she saw men struggling in the road. ' She was too far away to recognize them. This was about 9 o'clock, the time the robbery occurred, and the location was that where Cook’s senseless form was found.

The people of Annapoiis added their presence to the quiet demonstrationm, | surrounding the cordon of the naval personnel with bared heads and in re-| spectful silence. - The only words that were uttered during the entire transfer from ship to shore were the prayer of the chaplain just before the body was | placed in the tomb. i The formal national reception of the body with appropriate exercises is re- | served until it shall be placed in the | splendid naval chapel now being erec(-‘ ed near the sjte of the temporary vault. The work to-day consisted of the re- moval of the bod from the Brooklyn to the naval tug Standish and from that | to a float moored to the shore, where stalwart jackies placed it in a hearse, which was escorted by an imposing | cortege, in which thg French nation participated.

The body of the dead admiral | ‘was holsted from its position on the half deck by a boat crane and carried to the | starboard side, where another crane low- | ered it to the after deck of the tug. Six-| teen jackles went over to the side of the | Brooklyn and placed the coffin on a catatalque, where it was covered by the flag of Genera! Porter, over which was | spread the union jack. Then the jackles stood at attention in a the bier. The unsheathed sword of John Paul | Jones, now the property of Commander | Nicholson of the cruiser Tacoma, was laid on the cofn. Rear Admiral Sigsbee .and his ship of- | figers went aboard the tug and the start for the shore was begun. The tug took | its course down between the two columns of cruisers and battleships, and as it was making this run minute guns from every ship gave the fifteen-gun salute. As the body was being transferred, the marines of the squadron, constituting one | battalion, and two battallons of jackdes, | were sent ashore in small boats towed | | by launches. These reached shore first 1 and formed an imposing guard drawn up in double line on the seawall of the basin of the Naval Academy. The Standish | landed at a barge over which an arch of American and French flags had been de- signed. BODY PLACED IN VAULT. A hearse drawn by four black horses was in waiting, on either side of whlch‘\ were the honorary pall-bearers, on the | right side being Rear Admiral Sands and Captains Tilley and Reeder, of Admiral | Sigsbee's fleet. On the left were Captaln Gervis of the French crulser, and Rear Admiral Davis and Captain Taussig. The line of march was along the road past the Athletic Fleld to a point oppo- site the Vernon monument. Around the | vault, a huge square was formed on thres sides by ‘the saflors and marines, the fourth being formed by the hearse and midshipmen. After the body had been received from the hearse-and deposited on the tempor- ary truck leading to the vault, Chaplain York of the Navy "Academy, assisted by ! | Fleet Chapldin Bayard, read a portion of the Episcopal funeral service and offered prayer. As the car moved to the vault, the band played a funeral march. After it had been placed in position, a squad of marines fired three volleys and taps were sounded by the buglers.

OYSTER . BAY, Y. July 24—*1 strongly advised the President to accept my resignation, but he would not take my advice,” said Governor George Carter of Hawall as he left Sagamore Hill to- day. “Mr. Roosevelt asked me to with- draw my resignation and I took his ad- vice. 1 came here to recommend my means of pro- in Hawail. We went over the whole situation.” ““Who is the chief disturber in Hawall,” | was asked. “George R. Carter,” promptly answer- ed the Governor, with a smile. “Is the discord purdly local, or has the Fel ral Government interfered with home rule? ¥The troubles are entirely local. We There is no truth in the story that I resigned because of the election of a sheriff to whom I objected. To tell you the whole story of Hawailan political discord would take two days, but it is a story that {s not of great in- terest outside of Hawail. ‘“We have two parties, Republican and Democratic, but our issues are natural- ly more local than national. The Re- publican party represents the machine built up by the men who established the republic and worked for annexation. In one respect we have advanced material- ly in politics. The racial question has almost disappeared In party lines. “The best law in my mind that has been passed by the Hawailan Legislature was | enacted at the last session placing the American flag every school house Four years ago this law could not have been passed.” “Then you have hopes for ultimate harmony?” “I am sorry to say I have not,” replied the Governor. *“I am going back to Honolulu to stand by my pesition, but it is an uphill fight.” Governor Carter is a man after Mr. Roosevelt's ideals, outspoken, fearless and determined. The President said after be left: “Governor Carter is a brick.” The Governor will go back to Honolulu feeling that he has the sympathy and full of the President. Carter will not return immediately to Hawail, but will take an extended vacation in the before the opening of the Hawaiian Legislature. HO LULU, July 24—Acting" Gover- nor Atkinson has received a cablegram from Governor Carter from Oyster Bay in which Carter says “I shall continue.” over The cablegram is understood to mean that Governor Carter will remain in office. | TORTURED TO DEATH BY CHICAGO BANDITS | Wealthy Real Estate Owner Beaten and Slashed and Left to Die. CHICAGO, July 24.—The police believe that the death of John Tesmer at the county hospital yesterday, an hour after he had been found in a doorway at Ash- land avenue and Emily street, was due to torture by men who had attacked and robbed him. Tesmer, who was a prosperous real estate owner, had collected rents at sev- eral places and was going to his resi- waymen. He fought the robbers, but was overcome. He was dragged into a hall- way, where he was found several hours later. Several cuts were found on Tes- mer’s hands and arms. Two long gashes, which opened the arteries of the wrists, are believed to have been inflicted delib- erately while the man was in the power of the bandits. After the robbers had taken Tesmer's watch and 55, they sat him in an upright position in the door- way and left him to bleed to death from the severed arteries in his wrists. Search for Tesmer's assallants has so far been unavailing. ——t——— LITTLE 'ROCK, Ark., July 24—The fire last night that destroyed the Arkansas Demo- crat's thres-story bullding and printing plant caused a loss of $130,000.
