Schnck Thursday morning at his home,
in the rear of 524 San Julian street.
'. f Mrs. Scheck Is on the verge of a nerv
. this collapse, but Stackpole preserves
,hts dogged composure.
■'!■ The police say Mrs. Scheck has made
a confession /which admits Stackpole to
bo. the murderer of her husband. In
making her statement she unknowingly
| Implicated herself.
I Acting Chief of Police Flammer and
Deputy District Attorney Fleming are
s entirely satisfied with the result of the
three days' lnvestigation. . ...
, ■ Detectives Gather Evidence
"All day yesterday Detectives Cowan,
Roberds and Dixon were busy on' the
Scheck murder case. •
. ■ New' and valuable information was
obtained by them, they asserted, and
It, Is said a strong xhaln of circumstan
tial evidence has been secured to rein
force .the "alleged confession of Mrs.
Scheckv" The district attorney's office Is
proceeding slowly. .-, ••: : .
'. 'lt Is realized that a charge of murder
Is -a- serious affair and every, bit of
evidence is needed to make the case
complete. The officials gave out little
Information yesterday In addition to
what had previously been made public.
However, they are more certain than
ever* that the right persons are In
custody.
Stackpole Admits Nothing
Stackpole said little than can be used
agntnst him at the forthcoming trial, It
'is said.. He scoffed at the alleged con
fession of his supposed partner In guilt
.and reasserted his first statement of
knowing nothing about the shooting
..until Informed by a friend.
Ho was taken to the scene 'of the
tragedy in a closed carriage and was
asked pointed questions about his sup
posed, relations with. Mrs. Scheck.
•Unlike the woman, who broke com
pletely down Friday afternoon when
shown the room in which her husband
breathed his last with his eyes fixed on
his murderer/ Stackpole preserved his
composure/. '
Uv--" • Footprints Correspond
, Footprints plainly observable in the
horse 'corral back of the Scheck home
were carefully measured. It: was said
the size corresponded exactly with the
size of the shoes worn by . Stackpole.
.> -"A ' search : was made for his revolver,
' but.the'pollce say It has not been found
-as^yet. gun Is not thought to be
essential, as the police have proof, that
Stackpole' owned a revolver of the same
caliber as .thel bullets which i caused
Scheck's death. ..
•'After, her 'nerve-racking experience
of: the past three days, Mrs. Scheck
is ; on the verge of collapse and police
surgeons attended. her : several, times,
administering sedatives and insisting
that she be constantly watched.
"':.,. May Attempt Suicide
. I It I wan strongly suspected- she would
attempt suicide If given an opportunity.
She will be watched night and day and
: not ' be allowed to converse with the
other, 1 women I prisoners . under Police
Matron Gilbert's control. It is uncer
tain, whether she will be permitted to
,attend.her husband's funeral this after

COLLIDE
One Man Killed and
One Hurt in
Smasluip
Mining Engineer Akers
Steered His (J)wn
Mexican Youth In Speeding Convey
ance Seized Wheel, but Too Late
; to Prevent Accident — Victims
Caught Between Cars
In a collision between an automobile
and Mateo street electric car at Sixth
and Spring ctrects late lust night, a
man Identified as William A. Akcrs
was fatally hurt and a' Mexican boy,
who was In the machine, was also In
jured.
Akers died at the California hospital
at 1:35 o'clock this morning."
William A. Akers, a mining engineer
with offices at 612 Union Trust build
ing, accidentally steered his automobile
into a northbound Mateo car on the
Los Angeles railway line, resulting In
the probable fatal Injury of himself and
serious Injuring a Mexican boy who
was also in the machine. . - v . '
According to th« story that : Manuel
Garftas, the Mexican lad, told when
lying on a cot at ' the receiving hos
pital, they had been to Hamlln garage
at 806 South Main street to get the
automobile which had been cleaned and
belonged to Akers.
After riding about the city for a short
time they started south on Spring
street about 10 o'clock and vhen ( they
reached a point about half way be
tween Sixth and Seventh he noticed
that Akers steered the machine in such
a manner that it wobbled.
Boy Grabs -Steering Wheel
Garfias saw the Mateo street car com
ing toward them when they were going
at about" twenty miles an hour and too
late realized that Akers was steering
directly toward the car. ■ .. '
"Garfias grabbed the steering-wheel
but not In time to avoid an accident.
The machine struck the , front '- steps
of the trolly car and was telescoped,
throwing the two occupants between
the car and the automobile. ' \
' Passengers on the car said that the
motorman attempted to stop, but that
this was Impossible on account of the
speed at which, the automobile was
moving.
Pinned Between Cars
With the aid of the passengers, the
train crew picked up the two injured
men. "
The rescuers were compelled to move
the automobile In order to release Ak
ers, who was pinned between the ma
chine and the coach.
Akers was taken to the receiving hos
pital after a quick run by the ambu
lance.
Garfias was taken to the hospital In
an ambulance. •
An examination was conducted by
the police surgeons under the super
vision of Dr. Quint. Akers was found
to have sustained a compound fracture
of the left leg below the knee and a ser
ious fracture of the skull Just above the
left temple.
Dr. Quint said at a late hour last
night that in his opinion there was
little hope for the man's recovery.
Garfias sustained a compound frac
ture of the left knee and was cut about
the mouth. He was still conscious when
taken to the hospital. The doctors say
that his condition, while serious. Is not
considered to be dangerous. „
f Garfias Is a refugee from San Fran
cisco, having been made homeless by
the fire. Since coming here he has been
living at the home of Mrs. Jarchow, at
208 Bast Thlrty-Becond street. . Mrs.
Jarchow telephoned to the . station last
night and inquired as to ; the . lad's
condition. She said that she would have
the family physician take charge of the
boy after his wounds had been dressed
by the police surgeons. <
Perform Delicate Operation
The wound on Akers' head was a pe
culiar one and necessitated a difficult
operation. A piece of' the skull about
an inch and a half long and an inch
wide had to be removed, as it was de
pressed more than an eighth of an
inch. A hemorrhage was found to ex
ist, under the broken bone that was
with difficulty stopped.-- • '
The machine that was occupied by
tho two men was a Franklin runabout.
It whs considerably damaged, but not
beyond repair. One of the, cylinders
was broken and the body was splintered
and broken In places, t; '. . ... \ ■
. Dr. Tate and Dr. Chase were among
those who were on the street car when
the accident happened. They said last
night that they saw the machine com
ing while It was some distance from
them.* Just before It reached them they
say that It appeared as though the man
who was guiding the machine attempt
ed-to crosß the street In front of the
car. ■ . ,
According to their statement the ma
chine was moving about fifteen miles
an hour or more and that the motor
man did all In his power to stop the
car. . ■.! ■ .
Mrs. Akerß arrived- at the hospital
about midnight and while she was se
verely shocked by the news of the accl
dont, bore up bravely. She said that
they came to California. last December
from Lexington, Mo., and lived at 824

Macaro Sakay Gives
Up the Unequal
Self-Styled President of
. Island Republic
Surrenders
Leader of Guerilla Warfare Declares
Natives Cannot Gain Independence
Until They Show Themselves
Worthy of It *
By Associated Press.
MANILA, June 16.— Macaro .Sakay,
eelf-styled president, and Francisco
Carlon, vice-president of thesFlllplno
republic, surrendered at the constabu
lary headquarters In Manila today.
The military and civil authorities
are much elated, as Sakay was chief
of . Ladronlsm In Luzon, and his sur
render means an end of the campaigns
In' this section. f
The surrender of this Ladrone chief
tain was accomplished through the in
fluence of Villa Fuerte, a former offi
cial of Sakay's government. Acting
chief of the constabulary conferred
with Villa Fuerte two months ago and
when the latter gave himself up he
promised to use his . influence with
Sakay to persua.de him to surrender. '
He met Sakay In the provinces re
cently for a long- conference and wht;h
resulted In the latter's surrender.
Sakay Explains Act
"I surrendered," said Sakay, "be
cause fighting Is an uphill game and
the. Filipinos will never succeed In
graining Independence until they show
themselves worthy of it. There is
nothing to be gained by opposing the
Americans."
His surrender is regarded as the most
Important since the close of the insur
rection. ■ ■ . . i
Sakay Is an educated Filipino, and af
ter giving the American authorities
much trouble In and around Manila,
proclaimed - himself supreme head . of
the republic, with headquarters in the
Tagalog islands, formed a large staff
and issued commissions to generals and
other officers. ■ ■. ■
He, went Into the provinces three
years ago and started a campaign of
robbery and general depredation. • .
A reward of $1000 was offered for his
capture. „• »,;■.;
Sakay fought several battles with the
constabulary and was twice . reported
killed, but always evaded arrest.
