These ominous threats have distracted the father and mother, who are nearly beside themselves on sccount of the experiences of the last few days. The letter which Fuller received to- and turned aver to the police reads as follows: Bir: 1 see you have received the bundle 1 sent you.

HANDWRITING COMPARES. The message was written with' an indelible pencil, the handwriting com- paring with that on the package which contained little Genevieve's Alscarded clothing and curls which was found Sunday night near the Fullers' resi- denge and marked with their address After the ‘child was found the morn- ing of June 5, she said a.smooth- shaven man had taken her away. The police have found a witness to her kidnaping in the person of a boy named Richie, who resides at 1 Grove street. The youth said he saw a man in a four-wheeled rig, that looked like a_doctor’s buggy, driven by a smooth- shaven man, p near the Faller's home the afternoon of June 4. The man stopped his team and took the ttle girl in the buggy and drove away with her. The boy is positive he could idenyify the kidnape With that knowledge the police have commenced @ search of the stabies of the city and nearby localities in an effort to trace the mysterious stranger. They have also teken up the further clew that was supplied to- day by the ch s father when he relat- ed his daughter's experiences with her abductor. In her baby way the girl has related how the stranger petted and caressed her and told her to call him | “papa.’ He drove with her across the creek, and took his little victim to an empty room, where, she said, he pre- pared a meal of eggs, tea and wine. The child reiated how the man gave her candy and told her to call him “dear.” “He was nice to me.” ‘but papa.” But little Genevieve could not tell how she came to the Seventh-street station at Broadway, where she was found. She was hazy, too, about the circumstances surrounding the change of garments and the shearing of her |long gurls, until she resembled a boy in the boy's suit of linen and the boy's hat that were substituted for | her own bonnet and pretty blue calico dre LETTER MAILED MONDAY NIGHT. | The child is the youngest of the Ful- | lers’ three children. She had been seen in the fromt yard of the residemce at 12 o'clock the afternoon of June 4, a | week ago lest Monday. Half an hour |later the child had disappeared. That | night Fuller went to the police. The following morning Genevieve was seen said the girl, he wasn't as nice as my own |at the Southern Pacific local station, | but in her boy's costume she did not |appear as a girl. Not until she was taken to the police was her identity disclosed. The father took the baby home after she had narrated enough to prove that she had been kidnaped. But how, when or where was shrouded in mystery. The Fullers, overjoved by the recovery of the child, had permit- ted themselves to give the experience no further thought, when another chapter of the strange story was added by the finding of her missing garments and silken locks of hair. This occurred Sunday afternoon last when a niece of {Mrs. J. E. Davenport, residing at 531 | Thirty-eighth street, residence, saw a package ‘wrappad in a newspaper lying in a goranium bush near the Davenport home. Mrs. Daven- port examined the contents and noted the address on the margin of the wrap- per. She divined that the gamments | were those of the Fuller child, 4nd the police were notified. Now quickly follows the letter which threatens Ful- ler with death. Post marks on the envelope show that it was malled Monday night, for it was canceled yesterday morning at § o'clock. Detectives are trying to lo- |cate the section of the city in which |the letter was posted. Fuller was in conference with Chiet of Police Wilson for some time this atternoon. The father declared he could not fathom the mystery, He is a fruit {dealer in humble circumstances, and {of Portuguese parentage, though a | native of this city. Fuller said: “Born in this city, I have lived here nearly all my life. To my own knowl- | edge I have not an enemy in thé world. 1 cannot understand why any -one should want to harm me or to injure |any one in my family. The threat to kill me and to take my baby again is | something I cannot explain. If it is being done ‘in an attempt to extort money from me, I am afraid the plotter has come to the wrong place. 1 shall take every precgution against an at- tack, and I am sure no one will have Chiet of Police Wilson is puzzled over the disclosures today. He is devoting personal attention to the case. Among boy’s hat and the suit which Genevieve was wearing were purchased from Jo- nas’ store, Eleventh street and’Broad- way, but the clerks have as yet been unableé to say who was the buyer of the garments. —_— WILL REBUILD THE CHURCH.

BERKELEY, June 13.—Grief stalks on the university campus, where a big bunch of university seniors ha: some time attempted, with little suc- cess, to console themselves for t! of their diplomas, the preclous parch- ments having been denied to them by the university authorities becanse of the part the seniors took in a celebrat- ed hazing exploit last term wherein Felix Fibush’s whiskers were violently removed by a crew of husky upper class men. ‘The hazing affair, at the time, was expected to creat more or less trouble for the daring collegians who carried it through, but when the days passed and nothing was said to the perpetrators they -breathed easy and concluded that the faculty had decided to overlook their prank. They were mistaken. The powers that be in the university had taken full cognizance of the matter and merely deferred action until such time as seemed best. That time came when the graduation exercises were due and the presentation of diplomas was om the programme. The seniors who had hazed Fibush then, in the language of the street, “got theirs.”” In another way they did not “get theirs.” No diplom were forthcoming for them, apparently. Hence the grief of the twelve, whose names were always in the possession of the faculty powers, and whose fate was sealed when the facts of the hazing were given full consideration by the authorities. Not all the names of the distressed seniors are known, as Re- corder Sutton, who sent notes to the colleglane affected, declines to make known any of the proceedings in the case, but it is understood that Henry Ward Beecher, Alfred Ghirardelli, Wil- liam Gilmore, A. J. Warren and Willis UNUSUAL HONCA " FIR A WOMAN Miss Sprague’s Promotion at the University Is Quite Ex- ceptional. Bright Young Lady Will Be . Congratulated by Many Friends. - BERKELEY, June 13.—Off for the East on a vacation trip, Miss Luey Sprague, who has just been accorded an honor by the Uniyersity regents of uniqué character, is unable to receive the congratulations of the Unliversity folk upon her promotion to an assist- ant professorship, but when she re- turns the measure of good wishes doubtless will be ‘filled to the brim, for Miss Sprague is immensely popular with both faculty and students at the university. She is the first woman to be hon- ored by the university regents the title and position of assistant pro- fessor. Her rank heretofore has been that of instructor. Her work has been done in the departmment of English. She will continue la the department, giving a course in English, but of en- larged scope, and with increased sal- ary and honors. Miss Sprague has been official “ad- viser” to the “co-eds” of the univer- sity for a year, ranking with Profes- sor Edwards, who has been advisér for the male students. Miss Sprague's work has been so satisfactory, both as adviser and instructor, that promotion is now deemed fitting. She has been a member of the faculty here for fve years, coming from Radcliffe College, where her training had beéen secured. She left for the East a fortnight ago, but is to return in time for the open- ing of the university in August. FOLK MAKES TART REPLY T0 GHARGE Pike are some of the senlors affected. All were prominent seniors. Beecher was at the head of the College of Com- | merce Club. Gilmore was captain of | cadets and captain of the track team;| Warren was an editor on the Journal| of Technology, and the others all took | an Mtive part in college affairs. Fibush, whose whiskers offended his classmates, is an Oakland man. He be- lieved that his hirsute adornments con- cerned himself alone. The seniors de- cided otherwise and removed the beard | that had been the pride of Fibush. The hazing was one of the most sensational affairs ever known on the campus. Fi- bush vowed vengeance and talked of bringing suit against his tormentors. No such action was taken by him. Sup- posedly he was given information by the faculty that the matter would bo 2djusted by the university and he was kenient to let ft gu at (hat. Hif nour| ol revenge has come, with the hou: of irtialagon and . itd' @ss far the hazers. The.authorities intimate that the of- fense which brought the hazers into trouble wa# committed on commence- | ment day, when a new crew of seniors took Fibush, who had raised a new set | of whiskers, into the woods and again mangled his beard, making such & spectacle of Fibush that he declined to appear at the commencement day ex- ercises and receive his diploma. FATALLY BEATEN WITH A POKER SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL. SIOUX CITY, Iowa, June 13.—Beaten with a poker until she sank to the floor, drenched with water to make her arise, lifted to her feet only to be| pummeled into a condition of semi- consciousness by the fists of her mis- tress, her eyes filled with turpentine and the hired man asked to bandage her limbs and body, was the cruel fate of Agnes Polreis, for which the wife of Moses Kauffman, a millionaire brewer of Sioux Falls is alleged to have been responsible, according to the testimony of the, hired hand at the preliminary hearing at Sioux Falls to- day. The girl died under suspicious ecir- cumstances and the Coroner conducted a post mortem examination which seemed to disclose ihat her death was due to a terriblé beating. She was a domestic in the Kauffman household. Kauffman and his wife were both ar- rested. Peter Erickson, thelr hired man, tes- tified today he had seen the girl fre- quently on her knees pleading with Mrs, Kauffman, in ner native tongue, German. He testified that Mrs. Kauff- man, a large powerful woman, told him that Agnes was the most stubborn girl she had ever known and that she had lost her patience. He told of numer- ous beatings, a broomstick having been used on some vccasions. He said it was a week ago last Tuesday that she wae beaten with a poker and Kauffman’s fists and that flesh peeled from the girl's limbs, though he was unable to swear that the girl's mis- tress had poured scalding water on her. Three days later the girl died. Citi- zens of Parkston, 8. D., the girl's for- mer home, have raised fifteen thousand dollars to prosecute the case. The bady was exhumed twice after the funeral, up to which time nothing criminal was suspected. The Kauffmans, who are among the richest and best known people of South Dakota, claim the girl fell down stairs while suffering from vertigo. Thelr arrest has created the greatest sensation. In years and the storfes of the alleged atrocious treat- ment of the girl have astounded their wide circle of acquaintances. The hearing was today continued to June 20, when counsel for Mrs. Kauff- man will waive furt examination. Mrs. Kauffman assumes an air of bra- vado and shows little feeling one way or the other. ~ Neither Mr. J. M. Wilkins nor Mr. W.

Replying to this charge, Governor Folk sald today: “mr. Jerome is apparently in trouble about something, else he would not be 80 desperate in the effort to excuse himself. A few weeks ago he was quoted as saying that I had given him an opinion that the insurance plun- derers had not violated any criminal statute, when I had given him no munication whatever with him on the subject. “‘ine benefits of a crusade against bribery cannot be measured by the number of men in stripes. The awak- ening of the public conscience to the necessity of stamping out the offense that strikes at the heart of free gov- ernment was the main thing accom- plished. “Lawyers can always be emploved, astute enough, who are paid enodgh to exercise their wits to raise enough on which to hang a revers It Is easier, under the lame and halt- ing criminal procedure in American States, for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than to put a rich man in the peniteritiary for crimes against the public. But this is no reason why the effort should not be made if he is guilty.” — “WHO IS BISHOP POTTER ™ > ASKS BRITISH EMBASSY WASHINGTON, June 13.—“Who fis Bishop Potter, anyway?” was the Brit- Ish Embassy’s reply when inquiry was made there today as to what views were taken as to the Episcopal Bishop's observation that “there is no love lost between Great Britain and America.” Neither Embassador Durand nor his attaches were willing to talk for publi- cation, but it was hinted at the Em- bassy that the Bishop's remarks should not be taken too serfously. America during the Spanish war was lined up alongside Dewey's fleet at a critical #me in Manila Bay,” said an attache.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, June 13.— The Stanford book store corporation has about completed plans for the restoration of its campus store. Cement mortar will be used instead of lime, to make the building practically earth- quake proof. The contract will be let in a short time.

H. H. Hart, Trustee J. F.- Parkinson and others spoke at the meeting of the club. The | eity engineers estimate as to the cost | of the city’s portion of the work was | $1518. | On motion of Trustee Duryea a resolution was passed, informing the railroad company that the city would accept its proposal and that the work would be started as soon as practicable.

Logan's skull had | been crushed, his throat cut from ear |to ear and he had been stabbed in a {dozen places. His body had been | mutilated in a most flendish and brutal manner. A cross had ‘been eut on his breast with a knife, his kidneys cut out |and his body was otherwise mutilated. | The motive for the crime is a mystery. | Logan, who was a handsome youth. | had been attentive to many women, and | jealousy and revenge are said to be | the most likely theories advanced as | to the cause of the crime. | A “puffer,” used by laundries, and a small poeket knife, both covered with blood, were found near the scehe of and effort has been made these -articles with the Circumstantial evidence was probably de- | | | | the crime, | to connect | accused men. shows that Logan eoyed to the spot by two men, who attacked him and slew him after a | desperate fight.
