raternal
Judge Campbell ordered the warrants !
delivered to Serjeant Hotaling, bat before ;
tIK-y were placed in the hands of au officer
to be executed. Judge Louderback, one of
the attorneys representing Figel, ap
peared. He informed the Chief of Police j
that Figei was iv fc-an Rafael ani that he i
! leiephone bim to come over and :
surrender himse.f. This satL-iiud the
Chief, and Figel was telephoned to by his
attorney.
The accused man arrived at the City
Prison a few minutes before VP. K. He
told tiie story of his movements aiier re
ceiving word that he was wanted with
considerable gusto. His Pinkerton
''shadows" were guarding his front door,
bo he quietly slipped out of the rear j
entrance and took the narrow-cause train
for ihis City. The reason he took the
narrow gauge, he explained, was to avoid
the crowd ol people who ne thought would
be waiting for him at the ferry. He evi
dently had Durraut's experience in mind.
No one was aware of his arrival, and he
] r ceeded to Louderback's oificu shortly
before 6 o'clock. Figel' s father was noti
fied of hi 3 son's arrest, and then the young
bookkeeper and his leg*l defender pro
ceeded direct to the ofike of Chief Lees, I
who had foregone his usual dinner and
ia- waiting to receive them. There was
a brief consultation, and at its close Figel,
Chef Lees, Captain Bohen and Judge
Louderback formed a procession down
stairs to the City Prison.
Here Chief Lees offered to read the war
rants to the accused, but Figel waived
that formality. The entries were then
made on the prison register. Each read
as follows: ''Theodore A. Figei, ape 2»J,
nativity California, occupation book
keeper, color white, char-e felony embez
zlement, arrested by Chief Lees and Cap
tain Bohen ai Sm Rafael, at 6:45 p.m.;
complaining witness, h. 8. Rothcbilu."
1 igel was then marched into cell 34.
Louderback ag:iin telephoned to the pris
oner's father and half an hour later the
two parents of Plgel arrived. They were
met by Louderback and Judge Campbell
and taken to ihe office of Chief Lees,
where the b:ul h O nds were signed by Mr.
and Mr-. Figei and approved by Judge
Campbetl. A minute or two later Figel
was rejeased.
Figel maintained the greatest noncha
lance throuchou the trying ordeal of
being led into the cell and having the key
turned on him. His only complaint was
that ihe warrants should lutve been issued
so late in the day, as this mad i? it sorue
wuat inconvenient to get the bonds uuo
shape for his release.
Oti rinding Irmself once more a free
man Figel at once proc edei to the house
ot his father-iu-law, where his wife was
awaiting him.
It wan stated by Judge Murphy that
further charges would bo presened to
day, including some for forgery. The
arraignment of the accused will take place
this morning before Judge Campbell. J.
A. Spinetti will assist Judge Murphy in
the prosecution in the Police Court, as the
representative ot the City.
There was some excitement vesterua'
when it was rumored that Jerry Toohey,
a well-known special officer of some years
ago and at one time a witness in the Cur
lis case, had been making statements that
w the murder of Hoffman.
The police and reporters investigated
Mr. Toobey's :>ta;ements and. concluded
that they were not available in the case.
Mr. Toohey bears the renutatlon of being
a well-meaning man. He says he saw :he
murder of Ware, the murder of Officer
Grant and the killing of Hoffman. He
wa*< for some time ill, nnd says he is being
pursued by unrelenting enemies; that va
rious policemen surr ainded nis house last
night to destroy it and him ; that he is an
oiil officer and has the power to detect
crimes of all kinds where others fail. He
i-riiie.i himstd! last night and says he ieie
phoned the Chief of Police that he would
kiil any officer who should try to handi
cap him in bit « f f -rts to aid the widow of
Hoffman. Mr. Toohey's friends all say he
means well. He has tried hard to get re
lief from epilepsy and general nervous
ness in vain.
Captain Bihen Jast evening notified
Lieutenant Burke at the Seventeeiith
street station to find Toohey and a
statement from him.
La lor the Captain received a telephone
me'9a:o that Toohey bad been found and
asking if he was wanted at police head
quarters. The Captain replied that he did
not want him.

Curing the Cepar-ure of >hs
Delegates.
BOSTON, Mass, June 28. — With songs
and cheers, with the flattering of nun*
dreds of flags and handkerchiefs, and with
many a haMy word of good- by, the first
train containing the delegates to the an
nual Christian Kndeavor convention to be
held at San Francisco rolled out of the
j Boston and Albany station at 2:10 o'clock
! this afternoon. It was an enthusiastic
j crowd that gathered to see the delegates
off. Long before the scheduled time for
leaving the station begun to take on an
i unusual appearance. Everybody coul 1
| see that something out of the ordinary
I wav going on. Abuut 2 o'clock the en
trance to the trainhouse became bo
i crowded that it was with difficulty that
the delegates couiu force a passage. There
were hasty greetings, a few words of jvirt
lns. and tnen they hurried on to find
' their respective positions in the various
cars. Many of the delegates wore little
ro'.d badges, and the regulation Christian
Endeavor pin was seen on every hand.
In the first section there were eight cars
stretching far out of the train hoase. Ai
the end of each car Chri-tian Endeavor
flags were hung, which added their bright
ness to tne picturesqueness of the scene.
Alomr the platform there were scattered
little erours of young men and women
from the Boston union. Every now and
then they broke into a song that echoed
through the ereat building and lightened
the hearts of those about to leave on their
trin across the continent.
About 2 o'clock President Francis E.
' Clark, accompanied by Mrs. Clark, came
throueh the crowd an.l was warmly greet
ed on every timid. He went at once to
one of the forward cars. Secretary U.ier
was not far behind. President Clark was
the last to board the train, just as it start
ed. On every step a young Endeavorer
stood waving a banner, and a cheer went
up as the train moved out of the st.--.tion.
There were nearly as many present to say
good-by as the rewere delegates to take the
train.
An hour later another section of the
train left the Boston and Albany station
with an equal number of cars. Treasurer
Shaw went on this section. In the two
trains there were more than 900 people.

MASKED ROBBERS
PLUNDER A BANK
Four Bold Road Agents
Make a Big Haul in
South Dakota.
They Stand Off Seven Men and
Secure Ten Thousand
Dollars.
After a Running Battle a Posse of
Pursuers Captures One of
tio Desperadoes.
DEADWOOD, S. D., Jane 28.— At noon
to-day Belle Fourche was the scene of an
old-time road agents' attack on the Bank
of Beile Fourche. Four masKed robbers
looted the place of $10,003 in spite of the
presence of four bank patrons and three
otlicials o< the bank. Entering the bank
with revolvers dravrn they orderea the
customers present and. the bank officials
to hod up their hands.
A ■i'.tle iitsitancy ou the part of Cashier
Marble drew a snot from the gun of one
of the loobers, winch clipped off a huge
portion of th»s cashier's riuut ear and en
forced compliance wiih the command.
Tlie safe and counters were relieved of the
caih thty contained, an l the robbers,
mounting their horses-, which hau bten
conveniently stationed near, rode away.
An alarm wa« immediately given and in
a tew moment&a well mounted and armed
posse was in pursuit ot the bandits. With
in a few miles of town tiie posse c.ime
up with the fugitives and a running tight
ensued, which resulted in one of the rob
be:s throwing ui> his haudi and surren
dering. Tiie oth'-rs, being better mounted,
continued their flight, but are now being
closely pursued jiul have very few chances
of escaping. Ihe day was favorable tor a
raid on the batik, as the weather was such
thai it kept the town people off the
sireets and the robbers had J . t tie opposi
tion and had quite a start before the alarm
could, be given.
Just before noon the bandits entered
the town from the north. They passed
toward the bank at a br.sK trot. There
were bat three horses, one of the mounts
being double. Wi.en within a blocic of
the bank they dashed forward briskly,
dismounted at thedoor and, as the fourth
man held the horjes, the other threa
rushed into ti-.e place with their guns
presented. They worked cool.'y but rap
idly, laughing and joking with their tem
porary i risooera.
When they were surprised in a ravine a
few miles to ;he north they were dividing
their booty, but showed riirht ror several
minutes until the pos^e brought their
lilies into play, when the bandits de
camped. The dismounted man attempted
to hide, but when discovered threw up his
hands without a show of fie ht. Though
all the men were plentifully supplied with
revolvers, none of them carried rule-. It
is believed they had their Winchesters
bidden further north in the mountains for
which they are making. They know they
cannot stand off a posse that is armed
with Winchesters unless, they have some
thing better than th-ir pistols to use. The
absence of the fourth horsa is a mystery,
■ ha.td.ly probable tn at tiie men would
attempt to too a bark, with pursuit cer
tain, unless a.i w>-re mounted. The pris
oner refuses to open his mouth on the
subject, home ta.K of lynching has been
indulged in, nut, as no one was kil ed,
they will probably let the law tane its
cour?e. Bank-robbery in this State is a
I offense.
The men in the bank when the robbery
occurred Wera armed, but were unable to
get their guns out without first Buffering
snots from the bandits, and they ware not
disposed to risk that. Ail tne men are
strangers in the hills.

CHICAGO, 111., June 28.— Banker
BpaJdio and four attorneys searched the
criminal courts in vain to-day for a Judge
willing to try tiic ex-irea&urer of the ll,i

Judpc Neely's, downstairs to Judge Dunn
and tnen the same route over again was I

Finally the search was abandoned and it
was decided to try Bpalding another day.
State's Atiornov D-en wished to place
Bpaldin- on trial on seven indictments,
charging liim with the embezzlement of

he was a graduate of the State university.

LONG TRAMSMISSiON OF POWER.
Comrcct Signed ior Sending It From
Santa \ Ana Ccnyon to Los Arge/es
en I Pasadena.
NEW YORK, N. V., June 28.— A con
tract ior the transmission of electricity by
power derived from the river running
throueh Santa Ana Canyon to Los Angeles
and Pas;ideiiß has just been concluded be
tween the Southern California Power
Company and the Gen?ral Electric Com
pany of Schenectady. .N. Y. The amount
of power to be trans-milted at first is 4000
horsepower. Ttie station is to oe located
in the Santa Ana Canyon, twelve miles
from Kedlanc's. The water will be taken
from the river through the canal flume
and tunnel alongside of the canyon to a
point where it will be led through a pipe
i et long, givine what is equivalent to
a vertical fall in the water of 750 ieet. At
the bottom the water *ill shoot from tiie
ntzzies against bucket wheels, which will
be on the same shafts as the electric dy
namos. This will be the longest com
mercial elrctric power transmission ever
undertaken. At present the longest is
that by which the power of Ogden Canyon
is transmitted to Snit Like City. The Los
Angeles transmission will le, roughly
speaking, twice the distance and three
times the longest distance yet tried with
the rower of Niagara, which so far has
only been transmitted to Buffalo.
GOTHAM'S GREAT
MURDER MYSTERY
Meager Clews Upon
Which the Detectives
Have to Work.
Portions of the Victim's Body
Boiled in Order to Pre
vent Identification.
Those Who Committed the Atro
cious Crime Were Evidervly
Skilled In Surgery.
NEW YORK, N. V., June 28.— The mur
der of the man, part of whose body was
found in feast River Saturday and an
<> her part near Washington bridge bun
day with the head, part of the breast and
legs •till missing, presents to the police a
mystery asdifflcatt to unravel as any in
tbe history of crime in New York. Be
sides portions of the body tnere is a
broken linger nail and a strip of oil cloth
for the detectives to work on. The nail is
t-ixnilar to that on the hands of hundreds
of men, and thestripof oil cloth is a kind
soid in every dry-goods store in the city.
1 he-e are absolutely the only clews and
the rinding of a needle in a haystack
seems a comparatively ea^y task to the
running down of unknown murderers ot
unidentified man with such slight clews.
As II frightful mutilation was not enough
freafa horror was added to the case to-day
by the discovery that at least a part of the
body had been placed in boiling water,
probably with the idea of destroying it,
and that fact suggested the equally Horri
ble probability that the mitring head had
been similarly treated in order to make
identification impossible.
:■ uiiday morning Deputy Coroner O'Han
lon made a careful examination of the
bod}', and said it was almost certain the
man had not been dead more than twenty*
four hours. This would make the killing
not eariier than 11 o'clock Saturday, whicn
w.-is only a few hours before the first part
of tue body was discovered in the water.
There was a stab wound through the
heart. The autopsy showed conclusively
that this stab had killed tbe man. This
was proved by the condition of the lungs.
If he had died slowly there would have
been no air there. The deputy Coroner
said his examination convinced him tbe
man was a Hebrew. His examination of
the thumbs, he said, made him think tbe
man had been employed at some work
that required the u«e of a needle.
But more interesting (ban nil was the
doctor's statement thnt the per-on who
had done t c cutting was well versed in
anatomy and had more than ordinary
intelligence. Superintendent Murphy of
Bellevue Hospital, who was present at
the autopsy, said: "The person who did
it knew a great deal more about anatomy
than an ordinary medical college stu
dent."
To this the deputy Coroner added:
"This is a case of cold-blooded murder.
It can be nothing else. The wound in the
heart is what caused death. He was a
Rtronjr mtin physically, and healthy In
every part. He weighed between IGO and
170 pounds in life, and the autopsy has
shown absolutely nothing that would
causa death except this wound. The au
topsy also showed that a piece of flesh
cut ont of the breast, which likely
contained boom mark that might have
led to identification, was removed after
the body had been cut in two. I couid
not have done the thing myself, used as I
am to performing autopsies, in less than
three-quarters of an hour."

HIDES NO LONGER
FREE FROM DUTY
For Twenty-Five Years
They Have Been
Exempt.
Vigorous Protests of Demo
cratic Senators Are of
No Avail.
Smith Declares That On y the Big
American Beef Trust Will
Be Protected.
WASHINGTON, D. C, June 23.— Ttie
Senate spent nearly six hours to-day in
picking up and disposing of some para
graphs of the tariff bill which had gone
oTer without action when first encoun
tered. The most important wu that re
lating to hides. The House had left hides
on the free iist, where they have been for
the last twenty-rive years, but ihe Senate
Finance Committee had reported an
amendment putting them on the dutiable
list at a rate of 1} 2 cents a Dound, with
provision for a drawback on exported
leather made from imported bides.
A modification of that amendment w.is
offered to-day by Allison, masing tne duty
20 per cent ad valorem and omitting the
drawback provision, which was discussed
for three hours and finally agreed to — 37
to L\> Various paragraphs relating to
leather loves were agreed to, and a sub
stitute for the paragraph oa live cattle
was adopted.
The bill was then taken up at para
graph 109 (stained or painted glass win
dows und mirrors). The committee
amendments were adopted, being mere
verbal changes in the House bill.
A new pnrauraph (178)0 was inserted,
making the duty on hooks and eyes L%
cents a pound and 15 per cent ad valorem.
Paragraphs 179 and 180 (lead ore and
lead pipe in pigs) went over temporarily.
Ine leather paragraphs were tuen takon
up and Allison moditi-a the committee
amendment by making it read : "Hmes of
cattle, raw or uncured, whether dry, salted
or pickled, 20 per cent ad valorem." The
provision as to drawbacks was struck out.
Smith stated that at the present rate on
hides, 11 cents a pound, the proposed ad
valorem rate would b* higher than tde
pound rate. He asked Allison whether a
duty was to put on gont skins, and when
the question was answered in the negat.ve
he said it was hardly fair to allow in free
of duty goat skins that did come in com
petition with an American product and put
a tax of $- on salted hides that did not.
The proposed duty ori hides, he said,
was unnecessary and nnfair, as it did iiot
protect anybody except the great Amer
ican beef trust.
Smith made a diversion to the Cuban
question— referring to tbe belligerency
resolution passed by a two-thirds vote of
the Senate — savins it had been ''sent over
to the catafalque to belaid away in a tomb
by the Republican House at the dictation
of the Republican Speaker and with the
Intimation that it was done at the dicta
tion of a Republican President." :
Vest Bpoke in favor of lree hides, al
though he represented a large cattle
producing Slate of the Union. In that
connection V<>«.t niade use of the protest
of Blame to McKinley, when the McKin
ley bili was under consideration, against
taking hides off the free list. He read
quotations from the report of a Senate
committee on tbe meal question live
years to show that the removal of the
tariff on hides in 1873 aid not car.si* a de-
Una in the price of Araer hides, be
cause it was fifteen years afterward w^en
the decline began. He said the exports
if leather and leather miinu:acturt.s h;id
incr< ased since 1872. when Lides were put
on the free list, lrom $3,000,000 to fyti.OoO,
--000. Foreign hides did not, he said, come
into competition with American hides.
• Why not?" Allen asked.
".Because they pruduc a afferent sort
of leather," Vest replied, "and are used
for different purposes. A duty on hides
weald not increase by a single cent the
price paid for cattle in the West."
"Does the Senator claim," Gear asked,
"that the Bie Four absolutely control tae
price of cattle?"
"I do," Vest replied, "and you will rind
that the price of hides is one t .inp- when
Armour, Swift and Hammond »fc Co. un
dertake to sell their hides and very differ
ent when they come to buy cattle."
Hoar made a lone statement pointing
out the dlKculty of controlling opeiations
of great trusts or aggregations of capital.
He said the Judiciary Committee was giv
ing serious consideration to the question
and he hoped to hud a constitutional
method to uproot the great cvii. "If this
Sugar Refiners' AssDciiition," Hoar went
on. "does nothing illegal that lowers or
raises prices, but simply crushes out com
petitors by economies in daniL' its busi
ness or by it* great wealth, I dou't see
exactly how to hit it. A State may do so
by limiting the amount of capuai which a
corporation may liave."
Lindsay suggested Sherman's remedj
of throwing tln» American market open
to loreigners whenever a trade is con
trolled by trusts.
"The difficulty about that is," Hoar re
plied, "that it is desirable to Lave revenue
trom re tined sugar, and it is also desirable
that tlie business of refining sugar shall
be prosecuted in this country; otherwise
we should be at the mercy oi the foreign
Which often is a much worse trust than
the dome-tic sugar trust. Because a fox
or a jackal preri upon our cardens or
crops we ought not to turn the gardens
and crops over to a. foreign woit or lion "
In replying Allen declaimed against
trusts. Tbe country, he ki;U, was ro:en
with them, H inlr.'ds oi trusts to-i'ny
controlled all the Maple products of the
country, and Congress, the executive and
the judiciary were powerless to protect liie
people.
Alter three hours' discussion the com
niiit c amendment making the duly on
hide« '2o per cent ad vaiorem was agreed
to— 37 to 20.
buuerand Allen (Pop.). Heitfeld and
Rawlins (D.) and Teller (SiL) voted with
the Repuolicaii3.
Allison offered a substitute for the com
mittee amen iment to paragraph 427, re
lating to band or beltine leather.
Wnite spoke of it as "mysteriou.sly con
cocteil" ana inquired whether it increased
rates as proviJea in the Senate amend
ment.
Allison admitted that it did increase
rates somewhat. The substitute was
agreed to.
An amendment to paragraph 424 vras
agreed to. It imno^es an additional duty
of $1 per dozen on gloves when lined, 25
cents per a. Zen on pique or \>r>x seiini

bill. Th s clos»e 1 the leather paragraphs.
Paragraph 215, relating to caitie, was
then taiten up and a substitute agreed to
making the duty on cuttle leas than one

The next of the laid-over paragraphs
(118), relating to iron ore, was agreed to,
alter being modified so as to read: "Iron
ore, including manganiferons iron ore,
also nross, residuum from burnt pyrites,
40centsa ton; manganese ore, #1 a ton;
oasic slag, ground or unground, $1 a ton."
ParaErnph 142 (card clothing) was
agreed to asm t ie House bill.
Paragraph ly? (iron or steel bars) was
retained as in the House bill.
Paragraph lrJ4 (crosscut saws) was modi
fied by the insertion of the clause, "Steel
bands, finished or unfinished, 10 cents a
pound and 20 per cent aa valorem," and
the duty was made 30 instead of 40 per
cent nd valorem.
Paragraph 169 (alnmir.um) was changed
so as to make the rate on aluminum in
crude? cents a pound, and aluminum in
plates, sheets, bars and rods 12 cent.
Paragraph 170 (wares of aluminum) was
stricsen out.
In paragraph 174 (bronze powder), the
duiy on bronze or Dutch metal, or alumi
num in leaf, was made 8 cents a package.
The bill was then laid aside and after
an executive session the Senate ad
journed.
In the early hours a resolution was
adopted requesting the President to invite

mediately after the approval of the House
journal to-day Dingley, remarking that
he was not aware that there were any niat
ters requiring lac attention of the House,
moved to adjourn. While the Speaker
was putting the question Bailey made a
vigorous protest, saying there were mat
ters requiring consideration. This aid not
interrupt the Speaker, however, and upon
a rising vote the motion was defeated — 85
to 86. The announcement was received
with a salvo of bandclauping on the Dem
ocratic Mde. On a rollcall, however,
Dingley's motion was adopted — ayes 97,
noes 88, and the House, at 12:45 o'clock,
adjourned until Thursday.
Before the announcement of the vote a
resolution was adopted setting apart
Thursday, July 8, for paying a tribute to
the memory of the late' William S. Hol
man of Indiana.
Representative King of Utah offered a
joint resolution for the annexation of Ha

understood that the details v were practi
cally completed some time ago, so that
had an emergency arisen organization
conld have been p/rfected without delay.
The naming of the committees just before
recess will enable the members to study
various measures already introduced and
offered by tne several committees, so that
there may be little delay wnen Congress
reconvene?.
About 4000 bills have already been in
troduced in the House, the most import

recommending legislation to authorize
the appointment of one might not be

instead that during the recess a scheme
will be devised by.Giige and submitted to
Congress next winter. "" '. ♦
Chairman Grosvenor of the Republican
