All eyes were cen- tered on Marsh, who left the place a few moments dfter. Miss Murray, how. €ver, “was game and staved the per formance out. She was later joined by Marsh, who was greeted with shouts and roars of laughter.

Of course, this was a signal for every one to turn around and gaze wistfully upon the cause of all the trouble. But she was used to it and did not seem to be bothered in the least toward the end. Marsh formerly owned a cigar store at Fourth and Market streets. He came to this city from Sacramento about five vears ago. He is well known about town, as well as in Sacramento, where e conducted a cigar store for a num- ser of years and mingled considerably in politics, Murray, the cause of all the trouble, is the daughter of a prominent contractor of Sacramento.

MOTHER FIGHTS FIRE TO SAVE BOY'S LIFE i :Lad Is Burned to Death De- spite Woman’s Heroie Effor PORTLAND, April §—An Oregonian special from Heppner, Or., states that the tour-year-old child of W. B. Barratt, a wealthy sheepman, was burned to death yesterday at San Point, Or., and Mr. Barratt's wife was severely injured in a fire which destroyed his residence. Scveral children playing about a wood- sbed at the Barratt place set fire to the structure. As they were watching their fire with great glee the flames caught the little Barratt boy’s clothing.

Judge Graham Nullifies Action Taken When Showing Is Made to Him. George D. Collins is back in jall again. Hig flight from the Broadway prison of Saturday night was but that of a bird with a crippled wing. Irregulari- ties in the court procedure have usually served to save him. This time they have sent him back to durance. His own weapon—technicality—has been used against him. It was discovered vesterday that his admission to bail | was illegal. Judge Graham revoked his own order, fixing the amount and Judge Murasky's accepting the bond, und two Sheriff’s deputies led Collins back to the prison. Rumors created concerning Collins have excitement frequently, and vesterday afternoon and part of the night a report was current that he had fled the city, knowing that his mother-in-law and her daughter, who are his sureties, could not be held on the bond. ‘When Sheriff's Deputies Gaynor and Ryan, the former book- kéeper at the Broadway Jail, céuld not find him at the Hotel Terminus, the rumor of his flight gained greater ground. It was said at the hotel that he had gone out with his wife. All rumors were quieted when Collins was again safe and sound in his old cell. COOK DISCOVERS ERRORS. Assistant District Attorney W. Hoff Cook, who has been assigned to look after the cases of Collins in the Federal terday morning upon learning from the newspapers that Collins had been re- leased on $25,000 bonds by Judge Mur- asky pending the decision on his ap- plication for a writ ‘of habeas corpus for his release. Cook called upon Chief Dinan at once and informed him that he looked upon Collins as an escape from the County Jail. Cook then sent for Al McCabe, secretary of the District Attorney, and prepared an application for a revoca- tion of the order admitting Collins to bail to be submitted to Judge Graham. Cook had previously telephoned to Judge Murasky, who said he was sick, but was willing that Cook should make his application to any other Judge. “Under section 1274 of the Penal Code,” said Mr. Cook, “when an application for bail is made it is laid down that reason- able notice must be given to the District Attorney by the court. That was not done, no representative from the District Attorney's office having been notified. Again bail, after conviction, is a matter of discretion with the trial judge, and ap- plication must be made to him and re- fused before any other action can be taken. It has also been decided by the Supreme Court that a prisoner cannot be admitted to bail till the writ applied for is returned and the Collins writ is not returnable till next Saturday. If Collins should take flight the amount of the bonds could not be collected from the sureties. JUDGE VACATES ORDERS. Assistant District Attorney Cook and Mr. McCabe called at Judge Graham's home at 6 o’clock, and the affidavit setting forth the grounds for vacating the orders was presented to the Judge, He admitted the correctness of the points made, and, after ringing up Judge Murasky, vacated his own order fixing the amount of bail and Judge Murasky's accepting the bond and ordering the release, and directed Sheriff O'Neil to again apprehend Collins. Gaynor and Ryan, after learning that Collins was mot at the Hotel Terminus, went to several places in town where they thought they might find him, and failing, took up their station at the hotel. Collins and Clarice McCurdy entered about 10 o'clock. Collins showed no surprise when he saw the deputies waiting for him and went with them without comment. The young woman whom Coilins main- tains is his legal and only wife went at once to her apartments. Though she had nothing to say about the unkind fate that | again took the man she loved from her side, she was apparently in a highly ner- vous condition. .

MAN OF SCIENCE SCARES EUROPE Predicts Cataclysmic Phe- nomena That May Destroy the Entire Continent| SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL. NEW YORK, April 8.~The people t)f= Europe have scarcely recovered from the shock caused by the accident at Cour- rieres, France, when news comes from Germany to the effect that the director of the Berlin Observatory finds, by me- teorolegical and other investigations, that the terrible’ mine disaster was connected with peculiar atmosplieric conditions ex- isting at the present time throughout Europe, and that as a result the .whole crust-of the earth in the Eastern hemis- phere is threatened with cataclysmic changes that may involve the destruction of entire continents. Such disasters as the one that occurred at Courrieres, predicts this German as- tronoiner, may be expected to occur again in the necar future in any part of the ill- fated Eastern hemisphere, and all kinds of dire forebodings are naturally being indulged in by our European cousins as a consequence of the impending ruin, In the history of mining in Europe there has been no disaster showing such startling features and marked.by such wholesale fatalities as this one occurring in France about a month ago. The Cour- rieres mines are in the midst of the great coal fields of France and are very ex- tensive. “1t is difticult to see,” said Professor J. F. Kemp of the department of geology in Columbia University, discussing the subject, “judging by the data that has reached us, why the director of the Ber- lin University should take such a gloomy view of the fate of Europe as the result of the Courrieres mine disaster. Seien- tists in this country, so far as I know, are unaware of any impending catas- trophe, due to existing meteorological or geographical _conditlons threatening _the | welfare of our European friends.” RACE SUICIDE UNKNOWN IN ROUND VALLEY Mrs. Malachi Conner Pre- sents Husband With Eighteenth Child.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, April 8—Rev. Charles A. Baton, pastor of the Euclid Avenue Baptist Church, and John D. Rockefeller's religious adviser, is san- guine over the prospects of his com- munity parlor scheme. for courting. “Every church in the downtown section of the city should have one,” he said. «The great, comfortable, middle class of Americans in the big citles have home life. Go below or above them and you may find no home life at all. The churches cannot furnish home life to the very rich, but they can to the very poor. “Young men and women whom chance and circumstances have made homeless have the same proclivities for falling in Jove and have the same right to pleasant con:;uhip as the more fortunate ones who live in comfortable houses. “I would not provide special entertain- ment for them. I would not preach to them. I would simply furnish a spacious church parlor where they could meet, say one evening a week,” Later the community patlor may be a permanent fixture at the Euclid Avenue ¥ Riot and disorder ran rampant in the vicinity of Kearny and Mar- ket streets early last ev@ning. A battle, the fiercest Since the days of the Denis Kearney disturb- ances, raged between what was believed to be an anarchistic dem- onstration and the police contin- uously for fifteen minutes, and it required ‘thrice that, amount of time to ‘quell scattered outbreaks. During the melee Policemen Har- ry Seguine, John Stelzner and William Doran were badly beaten, the first named seriously. Citizens were struck with flying missiles and the windows of a streetcar were demolished. Over 1500 men had marched in a body from a meeting at Wood- ward’s Pavilion for the purpose of presenting to the newspapers res- olutions condemning the action of the authorities in imprisoning three members of the Western Federation of Miners for com- plicity in the murder of ex-Gover- nor Stuenenberg of Idaho.

The police, construing the flag as a banner of anarchy, decided to remove it. Detective Tom Ryan, in a civilian's dress, and Police- men Cavanagh and Stelzner made their way through the crowd and * tore the banner from its fasten- ings. Then they ordered the speaker to desist and dragged him to the ground. This precipitated the riot, and men were hurled and tossed about like straws. Seventeen arrests in all were made and felony charges were placed against three of the men. When the meeting adjourned at Woodward’s Pavilion the crowd, 1500 in number, and headed by a band, marched six abreast down Market street. The procession halted at Lotta’s Fountain, and when those in the rear had formed a part of the mob that surrounded the statue ome of the party climbed and strung a red banner that had been carried . in the pa- rade from the cluster of lamps above.
