This afternoon Sheriff Barnet took the prisoner to a number of places for the purpose of corroborat- ing his statements as to his where- abouts at certain specified times. According to the story told by Morra he has not been in the vicinity of De- coto for several weeks. It has been ascertained ‘that Morra used his influ- ence with Mrs. Borghi, his sister, to have Canile discharged, and while Morra admits that he and Canile had had a little quarrel, he says they shook hands afterward, and were friends.

These, Morra says, he left at his sister's house at 613 Forty-sixth street, but on visiting the premises the Sher{ff could not find them. Morra will be taken to Decoto for inspection by railrcad men who might have seen' him if he were in that vi- cinity or traveled either way Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. Morra's brother, James, declares the prisoner was in San Francisco Tuesday night.

According to Deputy Constable Starr, who aided In moving the goods, Hess declared that the fact that Clark’s goods would be ruined by\the rain did not pay his taxes and insisted that the judgment be enforced and that the fur- niture be thrown into the street. 1 Then it was that Lane and Hefn: stead, being satisfied that Clark was without funds, ordered the van at their own expense and had the household ef- fects properly taken care of..

FATHER PENNILESS, SON DEAD AND WIFE DYING OAKLAND, Feb. 16.—A pitiful case of suffering and destitution was re- vealed this morning by the death of nine-year-old Charles J. Cornell, son of Charles Cornell, who lives at 1430 Third street.” For months the father has been unable to secure steady employment, and the pangs of hunger have often been felt in the litle home, but until his son was run over by a wagon and fatally injured and his wife contracted a dread malady from which she now lles at the point of @eath, he told his trouble to no one and fought the bat- tle alone. ‘When Cornell saw no hope of reliev- ing the suffering of his wife and of burying the remains of his son without aid he gave up in despair and appealed to the police and to the Asscciated Charities. Three other children, all younger than the brother whom death has taken from them, wander about the house, crying and offering baby sympathy to their mother.

For four days the police of Oakland and Berkeley .ave been attempting to trace the young ‘outlaws who held Jewell at bay in such spectacular fashion, but without success. Four youths suspected of complicity In the affair have been visited by the officers at their homes, but in each instance an alibi was proved, and Jewell was un- able to identify the boys. The Smillie home on Webster street is one of the show places of Berkeley, and it has proved a mark during the last six months for marauders and bur- glars, old and young. The grounds are spacious and the house is a splendid edifice. The poultry yard has proved attractive as a bait to prowlers, and Miss Florence Smilie’s big canary aviary has also suggested possibilities to thieves. Altogether the grounds seemed to constitute a Mecca for cheap bur- glars until desperation’ has possessed the guardians of the grounds. Of these Harry Jewell, a burly chap, is chief. Three weeks ago fifteen of Miss Smi- lie's aries were stolen from the aviary, a pane of glass being removed, and the birds taken through the aper- ture. Then Jewell declared that the next bunch of thieves would be shown no. mercy. SHOOTS AT THE GUARD. The “next bunch” materialized last Sunday afternoon in the shape of four youngsters, two about 12 years old and two about 14. They were at work in the poultry yard stealing eggs when Miss Martha MeClure, an inmate of the Bmilie household, who is a teacher in the Oakland school department, caught a glimpse of the thieves from an upper story window of the house. Jewell was told of the doings and he prompt}y charged upon the invaders. The boys heard him approaching and ran. For a half mile Jewell chased them, up into the Claremont hills, and finally the boys, though fleet of foot, were overhauled. Jewell tells as fol- lows what subsequently happened: 1 grabbed three boys, holding two with one hand and the third with my other hand. The other lad held a shotgun and when he saw that my hands were full he deliberately raised the gun and fired a charge of shot at me. The shot cut holes in the coat of one of the boys 1 held and some of it whistied past my ears. Then the young fellow, nervy as any old foot- pad, said: p “if you don’t let go of those kids you'll get the next shot square in your head! And he sald it exactly as though he meant it. There was only one thing for me to do. I let go of those three lads and they scooted. 1 bad to beat an Inglorious retreat. It seemed ridiculous to be beaten off by a small boy, but he had the gun, had the drop on me, and as he had fired once it didn’t take much of a guesser to figure that he would fire again. I didn't care to take any risks. CULPRITS CANNOT BE FOUND. The police of Oakland and Berkeley were promptly notified of the affair and have conducted a still hunt since for the lads, but without success. Jewell thought he recognized the boy with the gun as little Johnnie McAttee of 563 Vincent street, but when Johnnie was visited he could not be identifled. The police also called on Oral Vincent, em- ployed in a butcher shop on Telegraph avenue, near the Temescal district; on George McDonald at Fifty-first street and Telegraph avenue, and on Willle La- catee on First avenue, near Clifton, but each boy proved an alibi. They dem- onstrated that they had no gun in their possession and were not arrested. Jewell has provided himself with a small arsenal and is prepared to wel- come all comers on the Smille place, but no matter what game he may bag hereafter he declares that the most sat- isfaction he could possibly hope to ex- perience will be denied him if he is un- able ever to look again upon the face of the 14-year-old bandit who coolly told him to “let go” on pain of being shot and so bluffed the doughty garden- er into rmitting the four young desperadoes to escape.

MILL VALLEY, Feb. 15.—The residents of Marin County, particularly those Wv- ing in the southern portion of the county, who make daily trips to San Francisco, are not pleased with the plan to have the ferry-boats from this side of the bay land at the foot of Powell street, in San Francisco. The Harbor Commissioners of San Franecisco have been looking into the feasibility of constructing slips at North Beach. Their chief engineer® estimates the cost at §150,000. The Western Pacific Rallroad Company has applied to the Harbor Commissioners for slips and ac- commodation for their proposed ferry sys- tem between Oakland and San Francisco. At present all the avafilable slips are taken, and an effort is being made to have the California Northwestern and the North Shore ferries land at North Beach and allow the Western Pacific the slips at the foot of Market street. Several of the leading citizens freely express themselves as bitterly opposed to any change In the ferries, contending that if the Harbor Commissioners want to make room for the Western Pacific at the foot of Market street they can add more slips on the south. The freight and river steamers can give way to the fer- ries. Several vigorous petitions against any change in the Sausalito and Tiburon fer- ry-boat landings are being actively cir- culated everywhere. It is expected that other parts of the county will take an active part in opposing any char<e. The Town Trustees took the initiative' * their meeting this week by introducing x eso- Iution in opposition to the plan and xchd- ing a copy to Governor Pardee and one to the State Board of Harbor Commis- sioners. The resolution has the unani- mous support of the people. CHICKERING WEDDING IS A CHURCH EVENT BY ZOE GREEN RADCLIFFE. OAKLAND, Feb. 15.—Although the wed- ding of Miss Emily Chickering and John Trumbull Overbury was a brilliant church af- fair. it was entirely lacking in ostentatious display. Admission to the church was by card, and ss only old friends had been in- outside of the family ecircle, it was really quite an informal gathering. The First Congregational Church, Wwhere the ceremony took place, fairly bloomed with the feathery blossoms of bamboo and formed an effective background for a very charming bridal party. ‘While waiting the guests enjoyed an organ prelude by Miss de Fremery and a violin selec- tion by Miss Winifred June Morgan, and then the familiar strains of the wedding march caused every head to turn expectantly toward the door. But a reversal of the usual order was a pretty innovation, The fair attendante of the bride, followed by~the ushers, marched from the chancel up through the church to the reception room in front, where they turned and escorted the bride to the altar. The ushers—Roger Chickering, Rudolph Schil- ling, Carl Wolff, John T. Poe Jr., Nelson M. Poe and Lasker L. Oddie—led the procession. The bridesmaids, in dainty gowns of white dotted met over silk, with deep lace yokes and carrying shower bouquets of maidenhair, pink ribbons and white tulle, came next, the six falr maids being Miss Theo Parr, the fiancee of Roger Chickering; Miss Helen Knowlton, | Miss Mollie Mathes, Miss Mabel Hogg and Miss Lite Schiessinger. Miss Patty Chickering, mald of honor, wore a mown of white strived chiffon over pink silk and carried a great armful of fruit blos- some. In her hair was a tiny wreath of the pale blossoms. Then came the bride alone. She is a irl of striking appearance, and her beautiful gown of ivory satin messaline fitted her sveite figure perfectly. A small diadem of orange blossoms surmounted her radiantly happy face, and from it the full veil fell over the shower of lilies of the vally and down over the long train. H Mr. and Mrs. Chickering followed their daughter to the altar and there gave her into the keeping of the groom. Rev. Mr. Cher- rington, who is relieving Rev. C. R. Brown for a time, officiated. A emall reception at the Chickerink home er the ceremony gave a few close friends an :;})rmnfly to congratulate the happy pair before they left for the south for a $hort honey- 00! T e bride is the daughter of William H. Chickering, one of the leading attorneys of the State, and the man she married to-night has larze mining Interests in Bullfrog, where their future home is to be, temporarily at least. —_——————— SAN FRANCISCO WOMAN KILLS HERSELF IN NEW YORK NEW YORK, Feb. 15.—Disappointment over the loss of her share of the family fortune, d fear that she would be deported, s be- fHoved to have caused the sulcide of Rosa Gonzales of San Francisco at Eilis Island to- da ¥, The woman arrived here a few days ago frum Portugal, whither she had gone four menths ago to claim her Inheritance, only to find that it had been squandered by a brother who had afterward dled in an asylum for insane at Lisbon. her return to this country she was accompanied by her son-in- Jaw.

The article in part follows: To be sure we are free from graft in the sense of spollation of office, but then it is [to be doubteq if any offics which lies In the hands of the student body contalns any ap- preciable amount of spoills But the evil to graft in foundations of our political indifference and careleseness clgeses, we have at Stanford and probably always will have, unt{l the siection commis- sloners go from door to door collecting the votes of those who are too lazy to jourmey to the polls.
