The schooner on her arrival at this port was placed in quarantine. ask for ner | Laundry, was mysterieusly murdered at an early hour this morning in his heme at 524 San Julian street. Two shots were fired, passing through the | head and heart of the victim. Mrs. Scheck was in bed with her husband at the time of the shooting. The mur- dered man was 23 years of age, his wife is 19. No metive is known for the crime and there is no reliable clew to the murderers, although Mrs. Scheck claims she was awakened by twe bur- glare, who shot and killed her husband as he started to rise from the bed. There are many peculiar and unex- plained circumstances in the case. Coroner Truot, who will conduct the inquest over the body of Scheck this afterngon, doubts the burglar theory. Nothing whatever in the room was dis- turbed by the intruders. There are several alleged discrepancles in the story of the murder related by Mrs. Scheck, but so far as their investiga- tien has pregressed no motive whatever has been disclosed for the crime. Mrs. Scheck stated that when she awakened the two men who she clalms did the Sheoting were standing at the foet of the bed and fired the shots at her hus- band from there. Scheck's body, how- ever, is powder burned, shewing that the weapon was held clese to him. Neighbors were awakened by the sound of the shooting and by Mrs. Scheck's hysterical screams, but their knowledge of what eccurred does not throw any light en the tragedy. So far as known Scheck had no enemies. The couple had several yeung men friends, and a number of them were taken to the police station today and uestioned, but nothing that would tend to furnish a motive for the murder was disclosed. 3 Scheck’s revolver, empty, lay on the bureau in the room where he was killed. It was a new one and had never been lischarged. The inquest will be held this afternoon. A Coroner's jury today found that George Scheck came to his death from 2 gunshot wound inflicted by a person unknown. The evidence adduced at the inquest was such that E. J. Stackpole, 2 carpenter, who had been on intimate *terms with Mr. and Mrs. Scheck, was taken to the police station to be ques- tioned by detectives. After the verdict had been returned Mrs. Scheck was also taken to the po- lice station. The evidence brought out was of a suspicious character. Mrs Scheck admitted that she had arisen from bed shortly before the shooting, dressed and went into her kitchen. Witnesses said Stackpole left his room at the Blaine lodging-house early this morning and went out. Stackpole is said to have given Mrs. Scheck many presents. —_— MANY STREETS IN TOWN OF VISALIA UNDER WATER Flood Waters Continue te Rise and It Is Expected Very High Mark * Will Be Reache: VISALIA, June 14—Flood waters are rising steadily in the streets of Visalia.

Enraged by_— Accusation of Use of Undue Influence. WASHINGTON, June 14. — Not in years has the House of Representatives witnessed a more dramatic scene than it witnessed today incident to the adop- tion of the conference report on state- hood. At the close of a wearisome day's debate on the sundry civil bill, the geo- logical survey discussion occupying the major portion of the time, Hamilton of Michigan, ehairman of the committee on “territories, called up the conference |report on the statehood bill. In ane | ticipation of something unusual, mest of the members were in their seats, while the galleries were comfortably filled. A round of cheers greeted the chair- man of the committee when he moved the adoption of the report. Earlier in the day he had endeavored to call up the report, but found that the papers had not reached the House from the Senate. At that time¢ he said that he did not expect any ‘debate, belleving that the report would be adopted with- out discussion. While thére was no dis- cussion on the report itself, a most unexpected episode ensued. Moon of Tennessee, the ranking mem- ber of the minority of the committee on territories, had made the statement in relation to the position of the Demo- crats on the compromise agreed upen in conference. He was frequently in- terrupted with applause and was then followed by Marcus A. Smith, the dele- gate frem Arizona, who took occasion in a guarded way to insinuate that undue influence had been used in post- poning an agreement.

Democratic Leader Sees Russian Congress in Action. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL. NEW YORK, June 14.—All efforts to interest the radical element of the Democracy in the proposed welcome to Willlam J. Bryan on his return from abroad have failed. cals who have now refused invitations to act as members of the recextion committee, of which Governoer Folk of Missouri has promised to be chairman, | are Judge Samuel Seabury, Dr. John H. Gardner, John J. Cox and A. J. Boulton, Register of Kings County. It was announced today that some of the radicals have sent a message to Mr. Bryan, asking him to recall his approval of the reception plan and to cancel all arrangements for a demon- stration on his return. It was an- nounced also that William R. Hearst had been invited to serve on the com- mittee on plan and scope of the re- ception and that no definite answer from him had been received. The in- vitation was coupled with an offer to name friends of Hearst as five of the ten members of the committee, and if he still refuses this offer he will prob- ably be asked to name all the mem- bers of the committee. The men who are in charge of the reception mevement are desirous of ascertaining where the radicals stahd with regard to the Bryan boom, and they are endeavoring to come to a definite understanding of what they are to expect. - ST. PETERSBURG, June 14.—William J, Bryan was an interested spectator of the proceedings of the lower house of Parliament today. During the agrarian debate, which was continued through- out the morning session, he occupied a seat in the diplomatic box, as the guest of Embassador Meyer, and during the recess Mr. Bryan discussed the situa- tion with some leaders of the House, who appeared anxious to express their views to the distinguished American. Among others, Mr. Bryan talked with M. Alladin, leader of the peasant work- men group, which is now denominated the “group’ of teoil” and is the most radical element in Parliament. Mr. Bryan was button-holed by a harmless crank who had planned to stop famines by teaching the peasants to eat the field rats, which destroyed the crops, and offered to subscribe $25, 000 if he could interest Americans to take up the plan.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 14.—The | Interstate Cammerce Commission re- opened the investigation of the Stan- | dara Oil Company here today. Judge |C. A. Prouty was the only member |of the commission present. In opening the session Judge Prouty | said he had received a letter from Vir- !gil P. Kline, chief counsel for the | Standard Oil Company of Ohio, on June 7, in which it was stated that the | Standard Oil Company did not desire at this time to offer any testimony. Judge Prouty then asked‘'if anybody else desired to be heard, and the only response was from Chief Counsel Mar- chand, who said he had the testimon: of ome witness to offer—that of M. C | Tully, an auditor in the freight depart- ment of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway Company. Tully’s testimony was comcerning storage charges made against the Standard Oil Company at Chicago, an: it was sought to draw from the wit- ness statements concerning the meth- ods used by the railroad in keeping such accounts, it being the contention of Marchand that the railroad had al- lowed the storage charges against the Standard Oil Company to g0 unpaid and that the auditer’s department in Cleveland had afforded the local agent at Chicago relief in this respect. Tully said that he did not possess the information with which to en- lighten the commission. Commissioner Prouty took the wit- ness in hand and after a sharp exami- nation ordered him to proceed to his foffice and obtain®the accounts of the Chicago office for the last twe years |containing the record of freight charges. The session was resumed when Tully returned with the accounts in quéstion. Commissioner Prouty, selecting sev- eral at random, proceeded to ask about them. The reports examined showed | storage charges averaging $500 a month | against the Standard Oil Company. | Without obtaining any information as | to whether the charges were ever paid | or not, Judse Prouty by skillful work succeeded In drawing from'Tully the admission that the agent at Chicago | was not required to send in the cash for the storage charges against the Standard Oil Company, but that the | account was balanced by a voucher sent to the Cleveland office; This, Tully said, was done upon orders from G. J. | Grammer, trafic manager-of the road. | since 1903, |ary 1 of this year. | There was no cross-examination and, | there ‘being no other witnesses, ad- | journment was taken.

Great applause greeted the Speaker as he stood with hand uplifted, his head shaking, waiting for quiet in the House. Agaln and again waves of applause swept across the chamber, Democrats and Republicans participating. Finally order was restored &nd then, measuring every word, Speaker Canmon sald: “Mr. Speaker, as a member of the House of Representatives during this session, as at all other sessions, I have represented my constituents and acted for the whole people according to my best judgment. The coming Into the UniAn of Oklahoma and Indian Terri- tory meets my approval. If I had my choice and were supreme I would infi- nitely prefer to see Oklahoma and In- dian Territory come in separately, with an aggregate population of two and one-half millions, with four Senators, rather than to see New Mexico and Ari- zona come together, and, God knows, rather than to see them come singly, with about 300,000 population and four Senators. “My views are not secret: I have sought to the best of my belief to voice them. You have the result before you. Although every man in the Indian Ter- ritory should vote against statehood for the new proposed State of Oklaho- ma, notwithstanding that protest the State would and will be formed under this enabling act.” : BRANDS CHARGE UNTRUE. Smith of Arizona arose, but Cannen continued: “I do not yield at this moment. There is no separate vote there. There is .a separate vote, however, as to the other two. So much for that.

The pool has been one of the strong- est and most active in the history of the financial district. According to te- day's reports, it has operated in as many as 300,000 shares at a time and through the impetus given by its op- erations the price of Union Pacific stock has risen from below par to above 160. Prominent interests in the pool are belicved to be E. H. Harriman and Ja- cob Schiff and their friends, ineluding representatives of the Rockefeller in- terests. It was pointed out in Wall street that even if the pool were dis- solved its members were quite strong enough to take care of such stock as might be distributed pro rata among them, so that the stock would not be thrown upon the market.

STOCKTON, tion continues to pile - June 14—The presecu= up evidence There was a well defined | torney ‘Johnson, when asked whether |a8ainst Mrs. Emma McVicar-Le Doux, charged with the murder of her former | husband. In response to hypothetical [ questions involving the facts adduced | by the testimony of the doctors and | the chemists, coupled with the com= | aitions found in McVicar's body. to- | gether with the results of the chemical | analysis, Drs. Southworth, Hull and Latta declared it their firm opinion that the death of the deceased was due to | morphine poisoning. The defense has | not given up probing for cyanide of | potassium. in keeping with the theory | that McVicar committed suicide by means of that drug. but the cross-ex- amination of the physicians seemed only to strengthen the case of the prosecution. The physicians declared that nope of the symptoms of cyanide | poisoning were present, while all the symptoms of morphine peisoning were present. Evidence deemed important from the | prosecution’s standpoint was brou out this morning, when Miss Fitzger ald, clerk in the Wonder, a drygoods | store, told of the purchase there by Mrs. Le Doux Saturday after McVicar's | death of several articles of clothing te the amount of $15. Other important evidence was that of rooms adjoining that in which the | tragedy occurred. She told of heariag sounds coming from room 97. the Me= | Viears’ room. at the time when the | body of McVicar is supposed to have | been placed in the trunk. She heard a | dull thud as though something heavy had fallen and heard other sounds im= mediately following as though furni= | ture was being moved. The testimoany of the witnesses was not shalen Mg cross-examination. but ene motive and one meaning, and i that meaning is that some one in the House has sought to affect legislation in the House as a matter of traffic in order to secure action upon this matter in the Senate. That imputation, im- ‘ plied so far as it reflects upon the Speaker of this House, and, so far as I know or believe, upon any other mem- ber of this House, is unworthy of the gentleman that uttered it, and without the fact. (Loud applause.) “If it were necessary to furnish proof of this statement, I look about me here on my own side of the MHouse, on members with whom I disagreed touching the progress of the bill from time to time, and upon the other side of the House, and 1 pause and invite any member prefent who has the least intimation, knowledge or even belief that the statement implied in the in- sinuation of the gentleman is true, to say so.” 3 PARTY LINES FORGOTTEN. When Speaker Cannon finished the House was in an uproar. It could not be controlled, nor did the presiding officer make any effort to do so. Mem- bers who had sat in silence during the delivery of the speech, Democrats ‘and Republicans alike, crowded around the ‘Speaker to shake him by the hand and tell -him how glad they were that the long-drawn-out fight for statehood had been happily ended in a compromise, and that his speech voiced the senti- ment of the members.
