FAMINE COMES
AFTER FLOODS
People of Northern Towns
Find Their Larders
Empty.
Washouts Prevent the Bringing
In oi Needed Supplies of
Provisions.
Driving Snowstorm Adds to the Dis
tress of Those Who Lost
Their Homes.
SEATTLE, Wash.. Nov. 20.— Ten New
York Chinese passenger* on the Great
Northern train No. 3, tied up by washouts
between Wellington and Madison, arrived
in Seattle to-day. Through an interpreter
they said tnat while on the train they
were given two meals a day until at the
end of four days food supplies gave our.
The Chinese then walked seven miles
through the snow to a railroad section
house, where they were supplied three
meals a day. Making their way to the
connection road where it was in operation,
the Mongolians were taken over the Great
Northern back to Spofeane and tbence to
Tacoma on the Northern Pacific and to
this city via the iteamer Kingston. From
here they no to China via the steamship
Kinstiui Mttru.
Owing to the crippled condition of the
Great Northern and the Everett and
Monte Cristo railroads, there is liable to
be a serious famine in towns in thp Cas
cades flooded district. In fact, a Sultan
City merchant, here to pu r chase supplies,
said that it has already begun. On this
subject the Times' Snobomish special says :
"The first party of 200 miners who left
Monte Cristo early in the week to walk
out to the lower town reached h.*re yester
day. The reason for this wholesale exodus
of miners is lack of provisions in the
mountain stores. Jb'rom reports of the
condition of the Everett and Monte Cristo
.Railroad it is evident that it will be three
weeks at least before they can get a train
to Monte Cristo. Superintendent Foster
has several hundred men working night
and day. AH tne big mines at Silverton,
Goat Lake and Moiite Cristo have fol lowed
tho example of the Monte Cristo Mining
Company and sent out their men until the
railroad could bring in roore provisions."
The article continues: "Ranchers in
Snohomish Viiilpy have suffered preat.ly.
There are from 300 to 400 farmers wuo are
loseis from tne tiood. Their losses range
from a few head of stock to the loss of their
entire personal property.
"Reports of narrow escapes and remark
able experiences continue to come in.
Morgan Morgana, a well-known marsh
land ranc er, had a novel and rather hun
gry experience. He left his house on
high land to go to a barn a short distance
out on the marsh to feed his slock. While
away the water got over the dykes and he
was unable to get back to the house. Tne
current around the barn was so strong i
that the building could not be reached
with a raft, and he was compelled to re
roai'i at><">at forty hours without food."
Lynn Relfe, formerly assistant secretary
oi Hie Chamber of Commerce of tbis city,
is another first-class passenger who aban
doned the Great Northern passenger train
3on Saturday, after it pot stranded the
Friday previous between Madison and
Wellington. He made this statement to
nisrht concerning the affair:
"After stranding the train Conductor
Scoviile went to Wellington to look after
food supply. Soon after his arrival there
he sent back a telegram by messenger to
the train statins; that he had, while at
Wellington, received a dispatch announc
ing that it would be one week before the
train could be got out; that it was his
desire tuat the passengers come to Wel
lington and stop tnere at the railroad com
pany's expense. As Wellington is a small
town and provided with but lew accom
modations a number of passengers, my
self among them, concluded to take
chances on walking out and did so. There
were a number of ladies aboard the train
when we left."
For the first time since the disastrous
washouts the Northern Pacific sent out
from Seattle at 9:30 o'clock to-night an
eastbound overland train, this event b««ing
preceded an hour or so iiy a potter swing
ing from the doorway of ttie general
offices announcing that*"All Northern Pa
cific trains will arrive and depart irom Se
attle on time," Tickets were sold subject
to transfer at Trout Lake, Montana.
SNOW AND HIGH WIND
Oregon and Wathington Are Swept by a
toriring Slot-tn. '
PORTLAND, Or., Nov. 20— A driving
snowstorm struck Portland this morning,
and it is snowing generally over the Wil
lamette Valley and parts of Oregon and
Wa«hlngton. The gale comes round
about from Montana and British terri
tory. At Havre, Mont., it is 38 degrees
below zero, 4 below at Helena, 42 at Bis

The temperature was below freezing
point here last night. The weather bu
reau says that by to-morrow it will be
rainine apain. Thirty -mile-au-hour gales
prevail off the coast. The snowfall is so
heavy in Montana that a blockade of trains
is feared. The regular train service has
been resumed on all the lines entering
Portland except the Southern Pacific.
The water is going down on their tracks.
The storm will cause great distresa in
districts where farm dwellings and out

FACTORY FOR STOCKTON.
Road Motors Operated by Gasoline Engines
Will Be Manufactured in That
City.
STOCKTON. Oal.. Not. 20.— 1t is pos
sible that a new - factory . may be built 'on
the north side of Stockton Channel, oppo
site the Crown Flour > Mill and a short dis
tance back from ; the water. The. site .is
. owned by the Holt ; Manufacturing Com
" pany and consists of four lots which
front on • blind slough. In case the fac
tory is erected the] slough.will be dredged
and converted into a wide 'channel, so
boats can steam up to the factory d00r. %
A .year or more ago the Holts were
thinking of adding to their works on Sac
ramento and Church streets a department
for the manufacture of /bicycles; and one
of the brothers went East to inspect tne
bicycle factories there. rHe came \. back
w.tb tne announcement that the business,
if not overdone, was being handled so ex
tensively that a factory here would hardly
ray.-, The idea was abandoned, but since
then the company . has \ been experiment-^
ing on road motor* and ; has devised a car
nape which ,is propelled ■'. by an engine
operated by gasoline. \-'i-- : -.i\. i \ 'i"-'.\':;'---;\~ '*•■
Similar carriages are being used in Great
Britain and France, and as the business of
making them is increasing there, the Holt
brothers propose to commence the manu
facture of motors soon, so as to be the first
in that fieJd on this coast. ; ■
The first motors will probably, be turned
, out in 1 the works on Church and Sacra
mento streets, bat those- quarters T are
already so crowded that the firm quite re
cently built, a laree warehouse near by.
and is now putting up another building to
be used as a foundry. If the new indus
try proves a success, as they believe it will,
a separate factory for the manufacture of
motors will be erected on tie property on
the north side of Stockton Channel. A
small gasoline engine weighing only six
teen pounds and adapted to be attached to
the ordinary bicycle as a motor, will also
be manufactured by the firm.
FEAR HUNTINGTON'S POWER.
Los Angeles Citizens Aiarmed by His Ac-
tivity m Opposing the Free
Harbor Scheme.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., Nov. 20.— N0
little apprehension has been caused among
the free barborites by the report from New
York that Collis P. Huntington has al
ready had an interview with the Harbor
Commission, which is to meet here next
month to decide whether $3,000,000 appro
priated by Congress for a deep-sea harbor
in Southern California shall b- expended
at San Pedro or Santa Monica. It is feared
that.Huntington, by thus taking time by
the forelock, may have created prejudice
in the minds of the commissioners in
favor of his pet project of having the Gov
ernment build a $3,000,000 breakwater to
protect his big wharf at Santa Monica. It
is feh, at any rale, that he has secured a
decided advantage by getting the first go
at the coiumissioners.
As the time for the convening of the
commission here draws near, the feeling
grows more ir.tense, and it is feared the
baules of the last few years will have to
be fought over. The Chamber of Com
merce has voted to place its rooms at the
disposal of the commissioners, and will
afford them every facility for gathering
data and information. T. E. Gibbon, the
attorney of tbe Terminal road, is busy
amassing information for tbe guidance of
the board. The representatives of the
Sana Monica interests are also at work.
Chief Engiiieer Hood of the Southern
Pacific is on the ground, and it is consid
ered quite probable that Huniington wili be
here also about the time the commission
ers assemble.
WAR ON SAN JOSE MEDICOS.
Secret Societies to Boycott Local Physicians
Because of a Dispute Over
Rates.
SAN JOSE, Cal., Nov. 20.— There are
prospects of war between the physicians
and secret societies of this city, owing to
to the refusal of the former to act as
special physicians for the societies at a
rate below that agreed upon by the Medi
cal Society.
It has been a custom with each society
to elect some physician who is a member
of the order as medical examiner, giving
him all the patronage of the society. The
rate has generally been fixed at a certain
amount for each examination — a per
capita for all the members of the order.
Several of the physicians did a great deal
of this work, but it cut 100 heavily into
the practice of the other doctors and at a
recent meeting of the medicos it was de
cided to abolish the custom.
This aroused the ire of the societies and
a movement has been set on foot to co
operate in bringing a physician from San
Francisco and giving "him tte entire
patronage of the members of tbe fraternal
societies and their families. The move
ment is said to have started in the Sons of
St. George. At a meeting of Garden City
Lodge, A. O. F., last night, F. \V. Hogan,
J. E. Ducoing and W. Gee were appointed
a committee to work with other lodges in
procuring such a physician.
GOVERNOR BUDD'S SCHEME.
Favors the Combining of San Quentin
and Folsom Frisons at the
Latter Place.
STOCKTON, Cal., Nov. 20.— 1t is ru
mored that Governor Budd has in view
some very important changes in the vari
ous State institutions, and that he will
recommend these changes strongly to the
attention of the coming Legislature. First
of these is the scheme mentioned in The
Call several weeks ago for the removal of
the feeble-minded from Glen Ellen to
Whittier and the Whittier inmates to
Glen Ellen, with the exception of the gin
inmates, who will probably be sent to the
Preston School. The- Gler Ellen institu
tion is surrounded by spacious grounds,
in which boy inmates can be constantly
employed and become in a mea ure self
sustaining. This cannot be <1 ne at
Whittier, as the area of the grounds is too
prescribed, and another reason is that
Glen Ellen is the beau-ideal location for
an institution of a penal nature, as owing
to the topography ol the surrounding
country the chances of escape from the
institution are greatly reduced. .
It is believed that the Governor will
•■trongly recommend the removal of San
Q jen tin prison to Folsom and the com
bining of the two institutions into one.
This will result in a great saving to the
State, and will insure the steady employ
ment of all convict wards of the State in
the inexhaustible granite quarries.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1896.
ROE WILL DIE
BY THE ROPE
Napa Jurors Convict Him of
the Murder of Mrs.
Greenwood.
Verdict Reached on the First
Ballot After a Brief
Deliberation.
"I Don't Care; I Am Satisfied," the
Assassin's Unconcerned
Comment.
NAPA, Cal., Nov. 20.— William M. Roe,
alias William Moore, will die on tbe gal
lows. After a brief deliberation twelve
jurors this afternoon pronounced him
guilty of tbe murder of Mrs. John
Greenwood in tbis city in 189 L Tnere was
William M. Roe, alias Moore, Convicted at Napa of the Murder of
Mrs. John Q. Greenwood in JB9J.
no recommendation of mercy, and the
verdict means that society is soon to be
rid of a dangerous assassin, unless by the
process peculiar to California la— the deal
ing of justice is delayed or finally defeated.
When the verdict was being announced
Roe gave no outward manifestation oi
that painful anxiety wbich would natur
ally possess a man whose life hinged on
the words that feil from the lips of the
foreman of the jury.
Carelessly resting his head upon his left
hand the prisoner listened to the jurors as
they were called. As "That is my verdict"
was answered by each of the twelve his
position did not change.
"1 don't care; 1 am satisfied," be re
marked unconcernedly as he was being
led back to his cell.
The jury had been out something over
an hour when the courthouse bell sounded,
which was the signal that the twelve
judges were ready to return to the court
room. The streets were soon filled with
men running toward the courthouse, and
within a few minutes the room was
crowded to overflowing. People had been
standing on tne streets in the vicinity of
courthouse for hours in order that they
might gain entrance to the courtroom.
Before the jury was brought in, the Judge
admonished the crowd to be quiet, what
ever the verdict might be.
The twelve jurors then slowly filed into
the courtroom. Although the room was
so crowded, there was nearly perfect
silence. It was almost taken for granted
that, as the jurors bad so quickly arrived
at a verdict, there could be no other find
ing than murder in the first degree. Clerk
N. W. Collins asked if a verdict bad been
agreed upon. Receiving an affirmative
answer he took from foreman W. H. Lake
the paper on which the verdict was writ
ten. After recording the verdict the clerk
read it aloud, asking if that was the ver
dict agreed upon. The verdict was,
"Guilty of murder in the first degree."
At the request of the attorneys for the de
fense the jury was polled. Each answered
iiiat that was his verdict.
By the consent of the attorneys next
Tuesday at 10 a. m. was the time fixed for
sentencing the murderer. Judge Murphy,
after thanking the jurors for their con
scientious performance of'auty, adjourned
court until that hour.
Most of the day was consumed by the
closing arguments of the attorneys. The
defendant appeared as little concerned as
the most disinterested spectator. When
damaging assertions were made he was
busily engaged in perusing tne San Fran
cisco morning papers.
"It is not my purpose," said District
Attorney Gesford, "to d scuss the testi
mony at length, for the evidence, it seems
to me, is most conclusive of the guilt of
the defendant. For years the officers have
sought the murderer of Mrs. J. Q. Green
wood. Gentleman of the jury, he has
been foun :. He is in this courtroom. I
don't say this because I have any animos
ity toward this man, but because I repre
sent the people, and this man is on trial.
One verdict and only one can be rendered,
and that is one of murder in the first de
gree."
Then followed an exhaustive review of
the testimony and a strong plea for the
administration of justice. Mr. Gesford
described minutely how Moore's steps
were traced on the Bth and 9th of Febru
ary, 1891, and told of the positive testi
mony of Stemmle, Mrs. Holland and Jacob
Shorer in identifying Moore as a man
("■en in Napa on the night of the murder.
He referred to the many times that Moore
has changed nis name, and paid that a
man with a character spotless, with a rep
utation unsullied, would not wish any
other name than that given by the father
and the mother; that only those persona
itahamed of their past life assume fictitious
names. With reference to the good char
acter of the defendant the attorney re
ferred to the good character that Theo
dore Durrant always sustained up to the
time of his committing that crime of
crimes iii the belfry of a ban Francisco
church.
"We have traced Moore while he was in
Napa on the 9th day of February, 1891,"
he continued. "Now let us examine his
movements while he was in the soutbern
portion of the State."
He spoke ot tbe confession made to
Mrs. Weys-e, savins that if tbe defendant
had wished to proclaim himself a whole
sale murderer he would not bave taken
Mrs. Weyse aside from all others and to a
private apartment and there made his
confession, but would have proclaimed it
broadcast. There were two classes oi per
sons that told the truth, he said, and
these were drunken persons and children.
Strong drink had often caused great suf
fering, but this was one of tne cases where
strong drink has been tbe means of bring
ing a criminal to justice. The facts stated
in the confessions were carefully compared
with the facts provert by the evidence.
Tue charge to the jury was made by
Judge Murphy, who spoke of the duties
devolving upon jurors; of the laws that
must be upheld and the nature of the laws
governing the case. The jury retired at
3:30 o'clock to consider the verdict.
WOODLAND CHILD MISSING.
Abducted bj If JUoth'r, Who Bad Lo»t
It in Dirorce Proceeding*.
WOODLAND, Cal., Nov. 20.— Quite a
sensation was created in this city to-day
by the announcement that Mrs. Hattie
Lowe, the divorced wife of Obe A. Lowe, a
wealthy farmer residing near here, had
disappeared, taking with her the six-year
ola daughter of the couple. Diligent
search has been made for the little one for
more than a week, but nothing has been
heard of her or her mother.
Wh<?n Mr. Lowe obtained the divorce
it was stipulated that the father should
have the custody of little Lucile, the only
child. It was further stipulated thnt
Hattie Lowe, th« mother, could take the
child to live with her for a stated period
every year. A short time ago Mrs. Lowe
came up from San Francisco to visit her
mother, Mrs. George Eustice. She sent
for her child and the two remained at the
Eustice farm until November 10, when
they disappeared. None of the relatives
or friends have seen them. Mr. Lowe has
searched both this county and San
Francisco, but could obtain no trace of
them.
PASADENA MAIL THIEVES.
Fourteen Boxes on Street Corners Robbed
of Their Contents and
Destroyed.
JPABADENA, Cal., Nov. 20. — Mail
thieves made a raid on Pasadena last
night In the east and west sides of the
city the United States mail boxes were not
only pried open and titled of their contents,
but in many cases completely demolished,
and in some instances the wooden posts
supporting them were broken off close to
the ground. Fourteen boxes were looted.
All but one on South Orange Grove ave
nue, all on West California, atl on Lincoln
avenue and two on Grand avenue were
emptied. The remnants of four torn rain
soaked letters were all that were found.
The only trace of the robbers is revealed
by the report of a servant-girl, who was
aroused at 2 a. m near Marengo and Colo
rado streets. Looking from her window
she saw a man engaged in opening the
box there, while his companion held a
horse u itched to a buggy. Phillip Bach,
going home from night work about 2 a. m.,
also saw the men with the buggy.
The plumbing establishment of George
T. Downing was entered during the night
and $50 worth oi tools taken. With these,
it is believed, the work was done. The
boxes were opened with a cold chisel evi
dently and spit from end to end. It ia
not thought probable mat much of value
cou!d have been obtained. Under-Sberiffs
C ement and Marsh arrived from Los An
geles this afternoon anu are working on
the case.

THIS BURGLAR
WEARS SKIRTS
Santa Rosa Homes Looted
by a Tall Woman
in Black.
A Comely Prowier, Who Keeps
Housewives in a State
of Fear.
Makes a Business ot Entering Dwell
ings and Helping Herself
to Valuables.
SANTA ROSA, Cal., Nov. 20.— A pretty
female stalking abroad in the night, en
tering houses while their owners slept, ab
stracting valuables from their hiding
places and carrying them away 1 Really,
the new woman has come to Santa Rosa,
and she's the newest of them all.
For about two weeks there has been a
reign of terror among housewives, and
each morning brought the news of two or
three attempts at housebreaking during
the previous night. The operations of the
nocturnal visitor were somewhat peculiar,
and led the police to believe that it was
the work of an amateur, or at least a very
timid professional.
To-day two daylight raids were made,
each yielding a ?mall sum of money; and
a tall, handsome woman, dressed in black,
is known to be the thief. She was seen to
enter the residence of Herbert Moke and,
after remaining a few minutes, depart.
Mr.-. Moke heard some one about the
house, but believed it was her husband.
On being told of the visit of the woman in
black, sue at once looked to her stock of
valuables, only to find that her purse was
missing.
Mrs. William Morris received a call
from the tall woman this morning, and
while tbe servant girl went to inform her
mistress of the presence of a calier, the
stranger succeeded in abstracting the
Morris family purse and a few trinkets,
and made good her escape.
That ail the recent attempts at house
breaking are the work of the tall womaa
in black is now certain, and many timid
people here will sleep easier to-night after
hearing that the desperate burglar who
has caused them so much alarm is a hand
some woman.

the name of Harry Hardy while in Mo
desto and used the time-worn story of
"remittances from England" to obtain
money from various kind-hearted people.
While nere he rented a bicycle and tried
to give it to his landlady as security for a
board bill and in various ways attempted
to obtain money from members of the
Christian Courch, not excepting tbe pas
tor. Officer Kieruan will leave here with

Aatoria's Oldest Pilot Head.
ASTORIA, Ob., Nov. 20.— Captain Phil
Johnson, the oldest of local river pilots,
and at present harbormaster of this port,
was examined to-day before the County
Court as to his mental condition and pro
nounced insane. For some time past bis
actions have been peculiar, and at times
of such a violent nature as to cause con
siderable alarm in his household. He has
imagined that some enemy was seeking
his life and fought one or two fanciful
battles recently with an ax for a weapon,
during which he worked himself into a
frei.zici state. Whether he wili be sent
to Salem or placed under the care of a
guardian has not yet been determined.
Captain Johnson is 76 years of age and
arrived in this city in 1848.

HILLSBORO, Ob., Nov. 20.— An st
tempt was mado to wreck the California
overland train last night. The keyboltof
a switch was broken and the switch set so
that the train going west would sidetrack,
but the train going East would pitch over
a high embankment
The westbound train was the first to ap- j
proach. The engineer was acquainted i
with tbe station and tbe sidetracks, so j
that when the locomotive took the siding j
he knew something was wrong and threw
his lever over. Tbe heavy passenger train
plunged on, but was under control and
stopped before the open switch at the west
end of the sidetrack was reached. A :
frightful accident would have resulted if '
the train had come from the other direc- :
tion and gone over tbe embankment.
THAT AIRSHIP AGAIN.
Sacramento People Once More See Mys-
terious Lights Passing Over
tbe City.
SACRAMENTO, Cal., Nov. 20.-Unless j
scores of residents in the eastern portion j
of tbe city have gone suddenly daft the
mysterious aerial visitant which passed j
over the city Tuesday night is still haunt- |
ing this locality, and people here are be- I
coming more and more convinced that it !
is an airship of some kind, wbich is mak- j
ing nightly trial trips through the sur- ;
rounding heavens.
Men whose veracity cannot be doubted
declare that tbe mysterious electrical
light repassed the city far to the north
ward, going in a northeasterly direction, j
as though to the point from wbich it first '
came. This evening several persons de
clare that they plainly saw the mysterious
lights moving through the air at a great dis
tance from the earth, and they declare that
from their movement they must have been
attached to some air craft. They at one
time moved directly into the wind and
again started off at various tangents.
To-night's reports have as yet not been
verified, but that the mysterious lights <
repassed the city, going northeast, on
Wednesday night cannot be gainsaid,
and the belief grow* apace that some for
tunate mortal has solved the mystery of
aerial travel, has constructed his vessel in
some quiet spot and is making a thorough
test of its capacities before presenting it to
the view of an incredulous public.
PAISLEI BANDITS FATE.
Albert Wilson Sentenced to Three I ears
in the Penstentinry.
PORTLAND, Oe., Nov. 20.— Albert Wil
son, convicted of the robbery of the Pais
ley postoffice, was sentenced to three
years in the Oregon penitentiary and to
pay a fine of $1 by United States Judge
Bellinger this afternoon. Wilson's right
arm was paralyzed by the shot that
struck him when h? was wounded and
captured. When the Judge asked him if
he had any statement to make be said :
"You see, Judge, this is the first time
I've ever done anything of this kind, and
I promise it will be the last. I was 'broke,'
and the thoaght of my wife and children
is what caused me to do it. Let, me off
easy."
But the court was not impressed.
Salinas Hirjht of Way Suit.
SALINAS, Cal., Nov. 20.— Suit was
commenced to-day by the Southern Pa
cific Railroad against the heirs of the
Trescony estate to condemn land for right
of way. The suit is a friendly one, being
necessary because a number of the heirs
are minors. The purpose of the right of
way is to connect the Southern Pacific line
with the new sugar factory, so that the
material and machinery can be delivered.
The work of laying the track is to be
pushed us rapidly as possible, so that work
can be commenced on the new factory.
