INQUEST FAILS TO REVEAL SLAYERS OF KELLNER. Police, However, Place Twenty Charges Against Five Men of National City Are Accused of Firing on Launchload of Union Sailors. Who TWENTY CHARGES PENDING DR. PIERCE’'S REMEDIES. Habit-forming Medicines. Whatever may be the fact as to many of the so-called patent medicines con- taining injurious mfmdfienm as broadly ublfs) in some jourpals of more or ess influence, this publicity has certain! been of great benefit in arousing needoi sttention to this subject, It bas, in a considerable measure, resnited in the most intelligent people avoiding such foods and medicines a8 may be fairly sus- ted of containing the injurious ingre- E\'e:nu complained of. Recognizing this fact some time ago, Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., “took time by the forelock,” as it were, and published broadcast all the ingredients gz! which his popular medi- cines are crymymed. Thus he has com- etely forestalled all harping critics and 52 opposition that might otherwise be urgefmuinst his medicines, because they are now OF ENOWX OOMPOSITION. Fur- thermore, from the formula printed on every bottle wrapper, it will be seen that these medicines contain no_aloohol or other habit-forming d: L N?L'j'fi'sofifi they contain any narcosics or a.gesl;ls their ingredienis being purely vegetable, extracted from the roots of medicinal plants found growing in the depths of our American forests and of w'ji recognized curative virtues.

Dr. Magnus, of the Harbor Hospital, to which Kellner was re- moved, extracted another bullet just e victim was brought in. This m a wound in the abdomen. The second bullet was exhibited and appeared similar to the one extracted Dr. Kucich Dr. Magnus was next placed on the and substantiated Dr. Kuclch's ony regarding-the wounds in the body. Under questioning by Attorney Ach he told of the bringing of the body of Kellner into the Harbor Hospital. He added that he knew only one of the that carried the body, but was ble to find him in the inquest room. After the medical testimony was concluded Coroner Walsh called to the stand Michael Bird, second engineer of the steam schoonmer. Bird sald that when the trouble began he was dressed to go ashore and was waiting for the second mate, who was in a near-by stateroom, to accompany him. Shouts were heard outside on.deck, but it was not until the shooting began that he decided to investigate. His testimony was somewhat contradictory, as he later testified that he saw the launch approach and-thought it was coming to take him and the mate ashore. Bird said that as the launch approached he saw a flash from the pistol in the hands of a man standing on the fore- astle deck of the National City and flashes from shotguns, one, he said, in the hands of Port Captain Hammer, ed from the bridge of the steam schooner. BIRD IDENTIFIES HUBBARD. Coroner Walsh requested Bird to fidentify the man who fired the pistol, and the engineer pointed out J. B. Hub- bard, who was seated with the four other prisoners, handcuffed and under police guard. Bird said that he then ran into the engine-room below and did not return until the shooting stopped. He asserted that when he saw the launch it was ten feet from the schoon- er's side and that when he came up from below after the shooting it was 3000 yards away. Under questioning by Attorney Hut- ton he said that he heard some one on board the launch say, “Come on, boys,” and saw one man on the bow of the launch open his coat and invite the men on the schooner to shoot. An attempt was made by Attorney Ach, represent- ing the prisoners, to show that Bird cherished ill feeling toward Port Cap- taln Hammer, because of the captain’s refusal to allow him to go ashore, in order to account for the witness' dec- laration that he saw several flashes from a shotgun in the hands of Captain | Hammer on the bridge. He asserted that after the shooting Captain Ham- mer had threatened to “plug” him for wanting to be set ashore. He closed his testimony by adding that Mrs. | Frederickson, wife of the National City's master, was on the bridge at the time the launch approached and that | Captain Frederickson at the first shot escorted his wife to safety. Gustav A. Johnson, second mate of | the schooner, according to his testi- | mony, was in his cabin at the time of |the firing. When he arrived on deck | he saw the launch backing away from | the schooner. | MEN IN LAUNCH ARMED, | The testimony of Emil Anderson, the National City’s first mate, tended to show that the men who approached the schooner in the launch were armed and attempted to board her. He sald that he was on the port side of the schooner when the launch approached on the starboard side and heard Hub- eld, old proach geon O nus of t by bard hail a craft and warn it to keep | away. | The witness said | bumped the starboard guard rail of the | schooner, that it was coming at good | speed and that severel men were clus- |tered on the launch’s bow. Hubbard |had his revolver raised, but did not | fire, according to Anderson, until some one on the launch yelled, “Take good alm, boys!” The witness said that Hubbard fired the first shot and that others on the bridge of the schooner | Joined in. Cahill and Martin of the prisoners were on the bridge with Cap- tain Hammer. Anderson could not tell whether any shots came from the launch. Under Attorney Ach’s-examination it was developed that Captaln Frederick- son had given orders to the men to prevent strangers from boarding the National City. He further testified that the weapons came on board the schoon- er either on Friday or Saturday before the shooting. | _In the afternoon H. Heisteman of the | Satlors’ Unlon testified as to the Es- cort's approach to the National City. The launch had fourteen men on board, who were gathered by Andrew Kellner. Helsteman testified that Kellner told the men he “had information about something,” but refused to disclose what was the purpose of the launch ride. The witness said he was not armed and believed that the others in the boat were also unarmed. KELLNER STOOD ALONE. Heisteman testified that only Kellner was in the bow when the launch reached the schooner, and that he saw Hubbard near the schooner’s rail, re- volver in hand. He sald there was an attempt to stop the onward rush of the Escort, which struck the schooner. Without parley Hubbard fired into the launch, and the others on the National City followed suit.” Heisteman asserted | that the rain of lead prevented the men from quickly reaching the engines to get out of harm’s way. Nels Nelson, one of the Escort’s pas- sengers, swore that there was no hail or warning from the National-City. He saw Hubbard fire several times and reload. He said that he.did not know the launch’s destination nor the object of the expedition, and that no one on the Escort attempted to board the schooner. Detective Miles Bolger of the Curtin agency testified that he sent several volice clubs and firearms to the schoon- er, but did not glve any weapons to the prisoners. Detective Sergeant Tom Gibson was called to testify regarding statements made to him by the prisoners. He produced typewritten interviews with the accused men. Ach obtained pos- session of the documents and attempted to cross-examine Gibson. Coroner Walsh objected to the attorney’s methods, and Gibson ended the wrangle by walking over to the attorney’s table and snatch- ing the papers from Ach’'s hands. The matter was then submitted to the jury, which in a few minutes re- turned with the verdict. The jurymen were Frank Dunning, T. J. Haynes, A: B. McNeil, M. Lando, John Couden, Henry Ambrose and John Cranston. REV. DR. DWIGHT PASSES AWAY IN NEW HAVEN NEW HAVEN, Conn., June 22—Rev.

WASHINGTON, June 22.—Speaker Cannon, in announcing that the House | was in’ commiteee of the whole today for the further consigeration of the pure food bill, was so emphatic in his physical demonstration with the gavel that the head flew off and rolled among the clerks at the Speaker's table. After the approval of the journal the House at once plunged into debate on the pure food bill, Adamson of Georgla opening the discussion in opposition to certain features of the bill. Discussing the fifteenth section Adt amson said: “It is the first authoritative legisla- tive administrative declaration on the subject, that the term ‘Territory’ as used in this act shall include the in- sular possessions of the United States. That settles the question. But if they are right about it, instead of being a pure food law, they will find it will rise up to curse them in the shape of a very impure plece of legislation, which to be consistent will require them to ask for a delegate from the Territories in the Philippine Islands.” Ad:_usson did not mean to say that 11 food legislation was vicious, but he mphatically stated that such was true of some of the legislation contained in | the bill. - Richardson of Alabama said he was a profound bellever in pure food, but he would like to have the bill amended in some respects. He argued that it was easy for the canner to separate his firsts from his seconds, and he wanted to know what objection there { was to such a propositien. He then discussed gengrally the pro- visions of the bottled-in<bond act, and | stated that at a proper time he would | introduce an amendment striking out certain words in the section. | During the speech of Congressman | Adamson there was a heated colloquy | between Cockran of New York and Sul- |livan of Massachusetts. Sullivan sup- | ported Adamson in his contention that | the State had ample power to enforce pure food regulations. He clted the pure food laws of Massachusetts, evinc- ing the desire of Legislatures to take care of the question along their own } lines. Cockran called attention to the case | of Illinots, where it had a law relating |to the inspection of slaughter-houses, |but which had deliberately permitted | the circulation in other States of food products dangerous to public health, and then asked: “Is there no law in the Federal Gov- ernment to save the people of the other States from their danger?” Sullivan, replying, said: “I remember not long ago that the | gentleman from New York stood on |this floor and ask®d the taxing power | of this nation to be exerted in order to prevent abuses in insurance upon the { theory that the sovereign State did not have spfficient power and virtue to deal with those abuses. And since that speech the great State of New York has |acted, and its Legislature has vindi- | cated the wisdom aad virtue of its peo- ple by regulating those abuses to the satisfaction of everybody."” This remark evidently did not please Cockran. With volce pitched high and with intense gestures, he replied: “when any action of a State, whether it be permissive or directory, empowers a citizen of it to affect the condition of | people In another Btate by circulating |in the channels of commerce anything | dangerous to their health and to their | welfare, there {8 no excuse for the ex- | istence of a Federal Government if that | does not prevent the precise condition. It must step In and say, ‘All the powers | of the State you may use as you please inside your own borders, but you must use them with due regard to the rights of others when anytlilng sanctioned by your laws passes beyond your border and affects their daily lives’ (Ap- plause.) Now, Mr. Chairman, one mo- ment with reference to the question about the great State of New York. I did say that the taxing power of this Government ought to be exercised so as to limit insurance to each Staté as | savings banks are regulated, and, as a matter of fact, when the gentleman' says the great State of New York has dealt with the insurance frauds, I will tell him how it has dealt with them. It has confirmed the hold of the thieves on the funds that they have been plun- dering. Today the inefficient heads who were dismissed because they were {n- efficient are replaced by subtle tools of the same gang-that worked all the in- famy.” (Applause.) —_————— MURDER IN SECOND DEGREE IS THE VERDICT OF JURY Marysville Woman Slayer Escapes Gallows, Greatly to Surprise of People of Town, _ MARYSVILLE, June 22.—John Hol- land, who beat Josie St. Clair to death last April in First street, was found guilty of murder in the second degree by a jury this morning.

WARE FROM JAIL Judge Grosscup Speaks| at Chautauqua in . Kansas. Would Make Competi- tion Easier to Bring About. OTTAWA, Kan., June 22.—Judge Pe- ter Grosscup of Chicago of the United States Court of Agpeals delivered an address here today at the Ottawa Chau- tauqua dealing with corporations. Judge Grosscup spoke of the great in- dustrial growth in this country since the Civil War. He told how the new life had grown beyond the means of a single individual to handle its enter- prises and the consequent appearance of corporations which latter grew in proportions as the new life had grown, “until today, in spite of popular re- sentment at wrongs done, in spite of natural jealousy, in spite of drastic anti-trust laws, the corporation, as an instrument of ‘working out our com- mercial and industrial supremacy, 18 it- self almost supreme."” “A constant duty, of course,” he said, “is to see to it that the particular cor- porations that are breaking the law be made to obey the law. To the full extent that the national administra- tion sincerely and intelligently, in pur- suing this duty, public opinion will re- main behind it. But if the administra- tion and the Republican leaders think that is the Alpha and Omega of what is needed—Iif they think that the dis- ease wlill be reached and eradicated solely through continuous campaigns against this or that incorporated enter- prise, as if the corporation In fitself as the embodiment of modern enter- prise, ‘were some alien enemy—I en- tirely dissent from them. . “When Mr. Bryan denounces the par- ticular corporations that by discrimin- ation or favoritism succeeded in sup- pressing competitors, or that unjustly oppress the public, I agree with him. Every species of device that puts it within the power of an outside party to choose which of two or more com- petitors shall succeed and which shall fail, is & crime against that first prin- ciple of American business life—equal- ity of opportunity. But when Mr. Bry- an, as the already chosen leader of the Democratic party, sees no further than this—when he confuses what under a just corporate policy corporate enter- prise could become, with particular cor- porations that have abused their op- portunities, I dissent. “The incorporation of enterprise is not in itself a sin. The incorporation of enterprise has proven itself over and over again one of the great essential agencles of general progress and pros- perity. Through it the competition in many lines has bees unjustly and cru- elly suppressed; competition in many lines almost destroyed. But the cause of this is not to be found In the fact that men have been allowed to In- corporate.

OMAHA, Neb., June 22.—The convie- tion of Rev. George G. Ware in the land fraud cases hdd another sen tional sequel today when Joseph Crow, recently postmaster of Omaha and a former member of the Nebraska Legis- lature, was found gullty i: the Federal court on the charge of impeding justice. Crow was foreman of the Federal Grand Jury which indicted preacher Ware. During the hearings it was charged, and Crow admitted on the stand, that he had furnished to other members of the Grand Jury rallroad transportation between Omaha a.d thefr homes in the State. This was done, it was charged, in_attempt to prevent the indictment of Ware. It was shown that Crow held a re- tainer as attorney for Lambert, who was indicted jointly with Ware on the | charge of conspiracy to defraud the Government- by the sarhe Grand Jury of which Crow was foreman. The jury Was out twenty-four hours | before returning the virdict ‘oday. | Crow was found gullty on three counts |and acquitted on six counts. 1If tha ver- | dict stands, the law provides a pemalty | of $1000 fine or one year haprisonment | or both.

WASHINGTON, June 22.—The oppo- | sition to the committee amendment to |the sundry civil bill appropriating 1$26.000 annually for the payment of the | traveling expenses of the President, ! which was begun by Senator McLaurin, resulted today in the withdrawal of the amendment by Senator Hale, in charge | of the Dbill. and the subsequent passage | of the independent bill providing prac- | tically for the same appropriation | which _was recently passed by the | House of Representatives. The bill as passed reads as follows: “That hereafter there may be ex- pended for or on account of the trav- eling expenses of the President of the United States such sum as Congress may direct from time to time, not ex- ceeding $25.000 per annum, such sum when. appropriated to be expended in the discretion of the President and ac- counted for on his certificate solely. “There is hereby appropriated out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, for the pur- poses authorized by this act for the fiscal year 1907. the sum of $25,000.” The greater part of the day was de- voted to the discussion of this ques- tion, but considerable other business was transacted, Including the | of the sundry civil appropriation bill. There was an effort to strike out from the bill the part prohibiting canteens at soldiers’ homes, but instead it was made stronger. The bill as passed car- ries an appropriation of $102,400,000. { The bill also retains the House pro- vision for a lock canal at Panama. ’ The Senate also accepted the confer- ence report on the District of Columbia appropriation bill and also the confer- ence report on the postoffice appropria- | tien BdlL B P SAN FRANCISCO ORPHANS TO BE REMEMBERED Benefit Will Be Givem at Mamhattam Teach to Raise Funds te | Bulld a Home. | NEW YORK, June 23.—Tt will be San Francisco orphans’ night at Man- hattan Beach Wednesday.
