on the .bad man yesterday, ami Cor
oner Hartwell, Deputy District Attor
ii. ■. Keeti h ami Attorney Barl Holers,
who has been retained us counsel by
friends of the dead man, were present.
When askr.i for a report of the ex
amination i>r. Day refused to divulge
imy inlormatl stating he would
make bis report at the coroner's In
quest, which "ill be held Monday.
Coroner Hartwell when asked as to
the cause or the negro's death stated
1,. ii :,l nothing to say. but be would
not deny that it was evldeni thai the
tuberculosis has been superinduced by
mi treatment and "manhandling" in
the city jail.
RIB HKOKKN l!l.(l:NTI.V
So far us is known, It was impossible
for those ho made the examination
to ascertain the time of the fracture of
the rib, although it was stated It ap
peared to be a. break made within a
few moltths, It Is said the man's nose
was broken before he was arrested and
placed in jail. The presence of tuber
culosis throughout Williams' family
and relatives seems prevalent, as his
brother died of the disease sumo time
ago. ;.'
According to police officers the negro.
when arrested In December, arrived at
the police station uninjured except for
the bullet wound in his heel. He was
booked at the sergeant's desk and
taken into the tanks.
When taken before Police Judge
FYederlckion the next morning for Ills
arraignment on the charge of assault
with intent to kill, the negro's nose
was beaten almost to aj pulp, several
wounds were on his scalp and a rib
was broken.
Efforts were made by his attorneys
to find out by whom and how ho had
been beaten, but the efforts resulted In
nothing. The arresting officers and
jailer testified he was unhurt when
booked at the desk and when taken
Into the tanks. . Thope who discovered
his Injuries before taking him Into
court seemed to show ■ total lack of
curiosity as to how ho was hurt. Al
though h«*wai treated In the receiving
hospital no account was made of the
Injuries or treatment on the official
records (if the hospital.
CLAIMS ABSAIXT WITNRSSKD
When Williams was taken before the
superior court to be arraigned, having
been held over to answer there, his
condition was such that his attorneys
determined to take some action toward*
fixing the responsibility for the alleged
assault. When it was learned that his
condition was serious he was permitted
to be removed to his home.
Attorney Karl Rogers, who was en
gaged as counsel for Williams by the
latter's friends to defend him on the
assault charge, declared yesterday that
he had witnesses who could testify that
a patrolman brutally beat Williams
after he was thrown into the tanks,
while another officer guarded the door
leading to the tanks. ,
' The matter was taken to Chief of
Police Galloway several weeks ago and
he made a. report of it to the police
commission.
The grand Jury yesterday demanded
tho reports of officers on the Williams
case and they were delivered to the In
quisitors by Charles McKeag, secretary
of the police- commission, with whom
the reports had been Bled. The com
mission has Instructed Chief Galloway
I.i do all he can tci assist the grand
jury in" its Investigation of the case.
Several iMiiiee officers are Involved in
the matter, the commission believes,
and as soon as the grand Jury has
finished the police commission will take
the case up and deal with the officers.

HOTEL MEN LIVE
GAY LIFE OF '49
Hall in Alexandria Transformed
Into Mine Camp—Delegates
Leave for Homes
Tho delegates to the national con
vention of the Hotel Men's Mutual
I neflt association wars transported
bacK fifty years or more last night
and lived for the evening in the days of
"49 and the early. '50's, when the
gambler flourished, when the miner
was supreme, when the barroom and
dance hall and gambling place waa
the center of civic life and California
was only beginning to awaken to the
culture and progress that was to dis- 1
tinguish its later years, and of which
the men have seen such evidence! dur
ing their stay in this city.
For an "old days" smoker, marking
the final night of the convention here,
the banquet hall on the second floor of
the Alexandria had been transformed
into a typical street of an early Cali
fornia mining town.
On one side, as the visitors entered
the door, was the "Last Chance" sa
loon In full operation, lighted by can
dles and lanterns, with local men
garbed as its motley crew of nightly
visitors enjoying themselves. Farther
around the room was found the "Gold
Nuggett" lunch room, where the guests
were invited to eat sandwiches and
smoke. Next was the faro layout, with
an expert dealer in charge and an ex
pert case keeper. Huge piles of chips
and of real money lined the sides of
tho table, and here, too, characters in
cowboy and Mexican costumes kept
coming and investing their surplus
change.
SCENES GAY IN DANCE HAM,
Then there waL the "Grub Stake"
dance hall, with in bev.y of pretty
dancing girls, who imitated to perfec- |
tion the dances of years ago, to the
tune furnished by a ragged rag-time I
piano player, who operated on the old
well-battered piano.
Hanging from the middle of the
dance hall was the sign, "Remember
the dancing girls is ladies —Don't get
gay or they are liable to shoot h
out of you."
Beyond the dance hall was, perhaps,
tho most interesting feature of the
whole affair, .n a little hole in the
wall lay two real Chinamen smoking
genuine opium as only the Chinese
know how. With loving care each one
rolled and cooked his little "pill of
"hop" and : moked it while the guests
stood and looked on. This feature was
under the care of "Lame Jack," one of
the best-known characters of the local
Chinese colony, who said he was hav
ing hard work to keep liis c< lestlals
there, owing to the fact that they
hated to b<- watched in their operations.
Further on was the roulette wheel,
Under the charge of a skillful manipu
lator, and this also had stacks of
chips and money on it. The guests
were shown Just how It was operated
and witnessed the fictitious winning
and losing of sums of money on its
festive whirl.
In the center of the back wall of tho
room was a ' .aterfall, which added the
final wild, out-of-doors touch to the
whole. Around the side were street
lamps with directions for the strangers
printed upon them, and on each post
were warnings telling all what not to
do. One of these, near the faro out
t stated tiK.t "The management would
not support the widderi of gems hold
ing five aces." 11l the saloon were
such warnin ;s as "partner name your
pizen," "a bonanza, of boose," "this is
no bank; cough up your dust and
float away," "straight whiskey—2s;
straighter—so." Thrown across the
1. ehing rail In front was a beauti
fully mounted saddle and bridle, left
there supposedly by some cowboy on
the Inside enjoying himself.
The whole affair was originated for
the hotel men by Assistant Manager
Janifs Reichl of the Alexandria, and
he received many compliments for his
originality.

Former President, Accord

SEQUEL TO VATICAN INCIDENT
Both Prelate and Colonel Decline
to Reveal Theme of Pri

[Associate! Tress]
TTIEXNA, April 16.—What is regard
1/ cd as April 18.—What sequel to
ed hs a very complete sequel to
' " the recent Vatican Incident oc
curred after the luncheon which Am
bassador Keren* gave in honor of Col.
Roosevelt today, when Mgr. Oranlto
dl Belmonte Pldnatetlll, the papal nun
cio, accredited to the Austrian court,
in the full ecclesiastical vestments of
his office, accompanied by his secre
tary, Mgr. Rossl-Stockalper, called
upon tho former president.
After being presented by the Ameri
can ambassador the papal nuncio and
Col. Roosevelt withdrew. They talked
together twenty minutes, but what
transpired it is Impossible to state, as
both subsequently declined to give any
Information. It was assumed gener
ally that the Vatican incident was dis
cussed and that the nuncio was tho
bearer ( if a message from the pope as
the American ambassador cannot di
vest himself of his official functions.
This later was denied by Ambassador
Kerens, who explained he had invited
the nuncio to be present at luncheon
to meet the former president, but that
thai official was unable to accept the
invitation because no other member
of the diplomatic corps was attending;
and being desirous of seeing Mr. Roose
v ,.|t ho can after the luncheon.
When asked If it could be assumed
that the papal nuncio was the bearer
of a message from the Vatican the
ambassador replied:
"It would be unfortunate to place
that construction upo ntho visit."
Another rumor which gained cur
rency attributed the responsibility of
the meeting to the emperor, the story
running that the emperor, after meet
ing Col. Roosevelt yesterday, was so
