THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1905. ADVERTISEMENTS. The Work of Our Hands H. A. Mitchell Keays. Although Mrs. Keays' book,“The Work of Our Hands,” deals primarily with the responsibility of wealth and the hypocrisy of religion, yet, as in her first novel, “He That Eateth Bread With Me,” the underlying theme is still the marriage relationship.

Detective Bailey that in a struggie with him she stumbled through the window. As she fell she grasped the window sill, she declared to the detec- tive, and clung there. In vain she ap- ealed to her husband to save her from er terrible predicament. “A woman ltke you ought to be torn to pieces.” These are the words that Kenney used, she declares. He left the room and she clung desperately to the sill for a while, then dropped. She re- members nothing more, she says, until she recovered consciousness at the Central Emergency Hospital. It seems a miracle that the woman was not killed outright. In falling she struck a tin roof not far from the ground. No one had heard the desper- ate struggle In the room and she tay there moaning for nearly half an hour. She was taken to the Central Emer- gency Hospital, where it was found her jaw was badly fractured and t she was suffering from internal injuries. Just how bad the Internal in- Juries are is not yet known,.but last reports from the City and County Hos- | p are that the woman has some { chances for recovery, Kenney refused to make any state- | ment to Captain Burnett yesterday. He will not be charged until Mrs. Ken- s condition takes a decided change the better or worse. The woman Mhas been living in the AND STYLISH BEAUTIFUL BA. hotel under the name of Alice Selby. he has been separated from her hus- band for about six months. The quar- rel which so nearly resulted fatally was caused by Kenney's attempt. to have her take him back. This she re- fused to do and he flew into a rage. The room was in darkness when the man and woman engaged in a struggle like two infuriated animals. No one the hotel heard the disturbance, gh the woman declared that he hustled her about the room savagely. She shrieked for help several times, but nome heard her. The police are confident that whether or not Kenney deliberately hurled the woman from | the window or she fell in trying to evade him he knew she was lying bruised and perhaps dead five stories below when he left the room. He will be prosecuted. The prisoner stands mute and sullen. —_————— | Outfits for Artists.

NEW YORK, Dec. 17.—According to cable advices received here to-day by | A. W. Bash, who has extensive busi- | ness interests in China, the two divi- | sions of the Imperial Chinese commis- sion appointed by the Empress Dow- ager to study the systems of govern- ment in Japun, Germany, Austria, France, England and America will ar- rive in this country in February. One of the’'divisions will journey leisurely across the American . continent from Seattle and gake a steamship here for Europe. The other division will make an extended stay in America, remain- ing at least two months in Washington. The party 'which will remain in America, to study the form of govern- ment here, is headed by Tuang Fong, Governor of the province 6f Hunan, and will arrive about February 25 at San Francisco. The party bound for Europe will ar- rive at Seattle about the time the other reaches San Francisco, It is headed by Prince Tsal Chi, accompanied by Grand Counsellor Hsu Kwon Chi. This party's trip East has been planned with a view to showing the Commissioners as much as possible of the country in the brief time they will have. : When the Chinese commission first started on its journey, coming by way of Japan, it was rumored that the United States would be avoided on ac- count of its excluslon of Chinese labor- ers and the alleged ill-treatment of stu- dents and other Chinese travelers at sev- eral American ports. The plan of cross- ing the continent through Canada was bandoned, however, when it was real- ized that a study of the Amefican form of government would be one of the most important features of the commis- sion, labors which, it is declared, may form tae basis for a constitutional form of government in China within the next twelve years. ——— NEW YORK, Dec. 17.—Two hundred thou- sand dollars’ worth of furs were destroyed by fire to-day In the establishment of Max Pia- seekl & Co., wholesale furriers and manufac- turers_of automobil: garments. 37 39 East Twenty-first street. and Alfred Lilienfeld @ Co. 201 and 203 Kearny Street At Northwest Corner Sutter St..

It was in the form of two letters under date of the 13th and 15th inst. respectively, one being written by Atiorney General Moody and the other by the President. The letters quote court decisions and are concerned with the action of the Presi- dent and the Attorney ~General in the Santa Fe cases, particular with refererice to the work of Messrs. Harmon of Cin- cinnati and Judson of St. Louls, who| were employed by the Government to in- quire into the facts of the case and whe subsequently withdrew from it because thelr recommendations as to ‘the proseou- | tion of the Santa Fe officials, including | Paul Morton, were not adopted. The story of the Santa Fe case is reviéwed in the letter by Moody, Yand the Attorney Gen- eral's position is approved by the Presi- dent in the second letter. On May 1Y last the Attorney General no testimony against any except the minor officials of the Santa Fe and Mr. Biddle, who might claim immunity,.and that as to Messrs. Ripley and Morton, president and vice president at the time of the Santa Fe, some evidence ought to precede an accusation of contempt of court. The letter reviews the contempt pro ceedings brought against the company’ itself by the President's direction and Judge Philips’ order of December 4 last qtashing the information. Judge Philips cited in this connection the opinion of ths Supreme Court of the United States in the ‘“beef trust” case and held that the record furnished no foundation for im- and vice president of the road at that time, any personal responsibllity for the ulleged vielation of the interstate com- merce law. The President's letter to the Attorney General s in part as follows: 1 have received your letter of December 18, 1905, 'ihe fmcts thereln set forth prove in conclusive fasnion Jthat you were absolutely Tlght in the position you have all along takun bouh as regards the proceedings proposed against the officers of the company, including | Faul Morton, recently & member of my. Cabi- | net. 1 am much pleased with the remarks quoted by vyou in which Judge Philips speaks of the attack made on Paul Morton. Your original | advice to me was to direct tnat the evidence | before the special counsel who had adviged ac- action could be taken against any of them personally. I refused to take this action. Judge Fhilips (who had before him ail the evidence which was befors the special counsel) In his decision exactly covers the point whicn would have been rtaised if 1 had followed your advice. He says: ‘This instance has attract- ed considerabie public attention because of the sensational assoclation of the name of Paul the vice president of the defendant company, with the transaction. ‘The record, in the case, however, including the evidence taken before the Interstate Commerce Com- mission, feils to furnish any foundation for imputing to_this gentieman any personal re- sponsibility for the alleged violation of the In- terstate commerce law. The decision of the court therefore, is not only that you were absolutely right in the advice you gave e as to the corporation, but furthermore, and explicity, that there was no possible ground for action against Mr. Morton. No agtion in addition to that which you, proposed could properly have been taken. The course actually taken was —absolutely proper, and the decision of the court and ths opinion of the Judge above quoted: show that 10 have taken the cogree proposed Dy the ape- clal counsel would have been unjus THBODORE ROOSBVELT. “MY LOVE TO ALL,” SAYS LL\TE\ARIAN Mother Parker Hundredth Anniversary in Hawaii. Bpecial Dispatch to The Call, HONOLULU, Dec. 17.—"Take my love to them all,” was Mother Parker’s brief message when she was interviewed: at her home on the hnudredth anniversary of her birth. It ~as a very brief inter- view, but it expressed her idea. She was a hundred years old, and is the oldest living missionary in the Terri- tory. She Is the mother of Rev. H. H. Parker, for more than forty years pas- tor of Kawaiahao Church. Mother Parker was born during the Presidency of Thomas Jefferson, and at the zenith of Napoleon’s fame. Wash- ington had died six years before. One of the earliest callers on the old lady was Governor Carter, who lives not far away from her home on Judd street. The Governor pald his respects and announced his intention of bring- ing to his young son, a babe about a month old, to meet Mrs. Parker. It is not often that cherub of a month on earth may shake hands with one who has lived a hundred years. —_——— Your Name in Gold Free of charge on all fine leather card and cigar cases, memorandum and bill books, diarles, cameras, traveling and_all fine leather goods.
