STOCKTON, Feb. 6.—An extraordinary prophecy made by Mrs. James Budd, wife of ex-Governor Budd, was brought to a startling fulfillment this morning when the body of “Jack” Hall, a well known hackman, was pulled from the channel. The story of Mrs. Budd’s prophecy and its denouement has caused quite a sensa- tion among a large number of her friends and followers, for Mrs. Budd is a pro- found student of astrology and occult sciences. About six months ago Mrs. Lydia Doc- tor, an aged woman who had long been a subject of charity, passed away. Mrs. Doctor was a good-hearted, whole-souled old woman who had done small work for many prominent Stockton familles. ue funeral was quite large. An undertaking company had charge of the funeral and contracted with local hackmen for the carriages. Mrs. Budd, however, engagea her own hack. Her driver was not in good standing with the other drivers, and when he appeared at the funeral they waited upon a représentative of the un- dertaking company and told him that {f Mrs. Budd’s driver was permitted to re- main in line they would take thelr hacks Spectal Dis; NEW YORK, Feb., 6.—If you get that before the biology section of the Academy | of Sciences to-night at the American Mu- seum of Natural History.

There was another acid that was con- spicuous by its absence. He was positive, however, that sugar or candy could help out this difficulty, and possibly so could cooking soda. As to the latter, his experi- ments had not gone far enough to enable him te offer it as a positive cure. ““When one is tired,” he said, “a quan- ing, often make one feel energetic.” A AR PR “MORE AMERICAN BABIES” MOTTO OF A POLITICIAN Candidate for Congress Making His Fight on an Anti-Race Sulcide , Platform. ALTON, HL, Feb. 6.—More American babies” is the motto of Mayor Edmund Beall of Alton, who has announced his candidacy for Congress, and his emblem, instead of the of his. party, is a stork. When what he would do in Congress he said: “I am not there yet, but I have already decided to introduce & bill to make men who refuse to accept the responsibility of parentage leave country. They have no place here, and they oi to know {t. The race suicide idea is more important thap it may seem. It is & good subject out. The director of the funeral informed the insurgent hackmen that he had noth- ing to do with the engaging of “Cabby,"” and that they would have to see Mrs. Budd. Straightway the hackmen cau- cused and selected “Jack” Hall to wait upon Mrs. Budd! The hackman made his statement to Mrs. Budd, whereupon she declared to Hall: this trouble at this hour. will punish you.” That was the last funeral in which Hall ever drove a hack. Immediately there- .‘«n:r his eyesight be:d-;to fail him. He quit hack driving and lounged about the streets. Finally his sigh for jest, but it is also ‘We want | with a cane.

The missing certificates are 50,000 shares, per value $1, of the company’s stock, and all are signed and megotiable. : Coleman had been in Philadélphia a few days early in January, and on the |13th returned to this city unéxpected- ly. He says he found his wifé, whom he marrfed November 26 last, in her room. but on his table was a sealed ‘letter addressed to him from her, he al- leges, in which she said she was tired of being left alone so much. Coleman tried to soothe his wife and, believing he had succeeded, asked her to go out to dinner. She refused, say- ing she had dined. He was hungry and went out. An hour later, when he re- turned to his rooms, she had gone. According to the story told in court by Coleman, other tenants told him that his wife had gone away with a young man in an automobile. - They said she had thrown a lot of clothing and other articles out of a window to the young man and then joined him in the automobile. This afternoon Coleman saw Stanley in Broadway, but when the chauffeur faced the man who had formerly em- ployed bim he bolted. He ran to Bighth avenue, down to Fifty-third street, and doubled back. Policeman Finnegan joined Coleman in the pur- suit, and at last caught Stanley. Stan- ley was held in the West Side court in $5000 bail for further examination to-morrow. Mrs. Coleman was found later in the day In the apartments of the chaf- feur and was arrested. She took it coolly and declared the stock certificates must have been stolen by a negro mald formerly in her service. Since leaving Coleman she has been employed as a cloak model. CONSERVATIVE PRESS I8 BACKING BALFOUR Ex-Premier of Great Britain Will Remain Leader of the Tories. LONDON, Feb. 7.—Surface indications tend to strengthen the belief that former Premier Balfour, if he is elected to Par- Uament for the city of London, will re- main the leader of the Conservatives in the House of Commons, and that Joseph Chamberlain will become the leader of the tariff reformers, with a separate or- ganization. The Times, the Daily Telegraph and other former newspaper friends of both Balfour and Chamberlain have gone over ‘to Balfour, and the opinion at the | clubs is that the breach will widen-as the days pass and that only a miracle ean.now prevent the ending of the usefulness of the Unionists as one magh - |18 said to be wealthy, left for the beach party ine.

Special Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, Feb. 6.—E. Oscar Hart, a New Yorker who has just ar- rived in Los Angeles from Mexico with his wife, signalized his coming to-day by starting out in an automobile after the loose-money records of “Coal Oil Johnny” and Walter Scott, the Death Valley spender. With his auto tank well filled with gasoline and his own with another brand of firewater, Hart began by buying out the violet stocks of half a dozen flower venders, dis- tributing bunches of the blossoms to women shoppers. Tiring of this he drew a handful of bills from his pocket and tossed it in the air. In the lot was a $100 bill, sev- eral fifties and others of smaller de- nomination. newsboys and pedestrians. This shower was followed by one of gold and silver coins. On his way to the Lankershim Hotel Hart flung out another bunch of bills, one man picking up two of the century mark. “T'll make Scotty look llck,\daclared Hart at the hotel opened ¢champagne for the large crowd that had been attracted. He would not say where he got his money. In enter- ing the hotel he had knocked down a porter, smashing the fellow’s hat. Hart gave him $10 and told him to buy three hats.

A hurried investigation by the authori- ties. of San teo County yesterday proved that Alexander Dovin, the young prize fighter, died from the immediate effects of the blow just under the heart struck byr “Chiefy” H. Johnson during the third round of thelr unlicensed four- round go at Colma Monday evening. 'The bruise from the blow extended through the fiesh to the ribs, but did not reach the heart. It was so severe, however, that it caused paralysis of the pneumo- gastric nerve and brought almost instant death. Dr. J. L. Ross of Redwood City, who performed- the autopsy yesterday after- noon, found the organs of the dead boy’s body in perfect condition. No natural causes alded In producing death. The blow under the heart was the sole cause. Johnson has not yet been apprehended, although a charge of manslaughter was placed against him yesterday afternoon. He appeared in the morning at Colma and at Ocean View and announced that he was about to give himself up to the officers.- Several of his friends, however, frightened him into running away for the time being, and when Sheriff Mansfleld and Deputy Sherift Butts appeared on the scene at Colma he was nowhere to be found. Butts searched the neighborhooa for him and then went to his favorite haunts, only ta_learn that Johnson had not been seen there that day. At 7 o'clock ;he temporarily gave up the hunt and turned over the San Francisco end to Captain of Detectives Burnett. It is expected that.Johnson will give himself up to-day. 2 MAY KILL BOXING GAME. The death of Dovin threatens to place boxing in San Mateo County under the ban. Many of the prominent citizens of the ¢ounty were shocked at the news and seemed outraged over the fact that the affair was carried on without a license.

It may be that the affair was fixed up at Proseck Brothers' saloon at Ingleside, a hanging out place of Johnson. Coffey and several other fighters. W. Proseck, who was one of Johnson's seconds during the fatal fight, vigorously denied the charge. MANY UNLICENSED FIGHTS. The investigation brought te ht condition of affairs which will sug'lo lh: San Mateo Board of Supervisors and is likely to hurt the legitimate fight game. For several u?nths boxing contests be- tween men of Ilittle class have been pulled off in Colma at intervals of two weeks or over. Not one of these contests has ever been granted a license. The Supervisors knew nothing about them. Sneriff Mansfleld says that he was igno~- rant of the facts.
