Office at Sacramento May
Soon Resume Op-

Secretary Brown Believes There
Is a Way to Bring This
About.
Governor Budd Says Means Would
Be Found tc Meet Any Pos
sible Contingency.
Special Dlepntch to The Call.
SACRAMENTO, Feb. 12.— The possi
bility of the State printing office being
provided with funds sufficient to enable
the State printer to resume operations
has again arisen. Secretary of State
Brown, in speaking of the matter, said
to-night to The Call correspondent:
"I have hopes of providing some
means by which the State printing
office will be enabled to open again with
a sufficient force to meet the require
ments naturally following the semi
annual publication of various State re
ports.
"I have had a short talk with the
Attorney-General, and believe that he
favors some way out of the present dif
ficulty. The regents of the State Uni
versity stand ready to advance $200,
000 to the fund of the State Printing
Office, provided some legal and proper
procedure can be arranged. Should
Governor Budd sanction the proposi
tion I feel quite certain that the State
Printing Office will again be opened."
Governor Budd said, when spoken to
concerning this project:
'"Several months ago the Attorney-
General and I discussed the matter,
and at that time came to the under
standing that when the necessity arose
there might be some steps taken to
ward providing for it. I have no doubt
of being able to find means which will
meet the contingency when it arises.
The various boards and institutions
throughout the State have been getting
along very nicely, and a great saving
has been made in the use of the mimeo
graph. Lessons in economy have been
taught, to the great saving of the
State's funds.
"I see no reason for altering the pres
ent advantageous system until the ab
solute necessity arises. When the Leg
islature convenes it can order the
printing of whatever reports it deems
necessary, and until then I do not see
the necessity of providing for a great
demand until we are sure that such a
demand exists. We are getting along
very well, indeed, and I am hearing no
complaints from the State institutions
on the question of their printing, and
1 am quite certain that no particular
fault is being found by the people who
foot the bills."
DISTRESS IN IRELAND

NEW YORK, Feb. 12— A npeclal cable

has consented only under pressure from
Irish members of Parliament *o adopt en
tirely inadequate measures of relief. Wil
liam* Phillips, an Englishman owning
large estates in West Ireland, where he
is magistrate for several counties, and
who is a political supporter of the present
government, gives the following appall
ing description of the condition of af
fairs there:
"Knowing probably better than any
other Englishman the people of West Ire
land, I am deeply disappointed to find
Gerald Balfour's answer to the Trish
members so very unsatisfactory. From
my own personal knowledge I can assure
the Worlds readers that no words I could
use would adequately describe the fear
ful state of misery and destitution in
which from no fault of their own, they
are now placed. Unless many are to die
of starvation, immediate relief is imper
atively demanded."

LABORING FOR
BETTER PRICES
Wine Growers Meet in
Conference at St.
Helena.
Urged by Speakers to Lend
Their Support to the
Corporation.
Henry J. Crocker of San Francisco
Presided Over the Large
Gathering.
Special Dispatch to The Call.
ST. HELENA, Feb. 12.— A big meet
ing was held here to-day by the Wine
Makers' Corporation for the purpose
of conferring with the producers with
a view to strengthening the organiza
tion. The meeting was arranged by
Charles A. Wetmore of Stockton and J.
R. Miller of Sonoma, the committee ap
pointed to conduct this work in the in
terest of the corporation. The morn
ing train from San Francisco brought
Henry J. Crocker, president, and W. J.
Hotchkiss, manager of the corporation.
The meeting was held in the town
hall at 1 o'clock this afternoon, and
was largely attended, men being pres
ent from Napa, Pope and Chiles val
leys, Yountville, Oakvllle, Rutherford,
Calistoga and other parts of the coun-
try.
Seneca Ewer called the meeting to
order, and Henry J. Crocker was elect
ed chairman, and Senator C. L. Larue
secretary. Air. Crocker outlined the ob
jects of the meeting, saying that the
corporation was endeavoring to procure
80 per cent of the wines now outside of
the association and corporation.
"With this amount added to what had
already been pledged, the growers
would be enabled to control the market
and again name and receive fair prices
for wine. There were many outside the
corporation, he said, who were wanted
because by united action the producers
could have control of the situation, and
the support of these outsiders was nec
essary to the success of the movement.
W. J. Hotchkiss reviewed the history
of the corporation, telling what it had
done and its objects. He spoke of the
urgent necessity of the producers
standing together in order to place the
market on a secure foundation. The
men outside tlfe corporation who sold
to the association were, he said, fur
nishing ammunition with which to fight
the growers.
Resolutions were passed commending
the action of the corporation in its ef
forts to protect the wine men against
unnecessary losses, and declaring that
its projects are entitled to serious con
sideration and immediate attention.
Speeches strongly* favoring the cor
poration and its efforts to win over
additional men were made by Charles
A. Wetmore, J. R. Miller, S. Ewer, H.
W. Crabb, C. N. Pickett, C. L. Larue
and Henry Lange.
Messrs. Wetmore and Miller will re
main in the valley for several days
personally interviewing the growers
and urging them to unite with the
corporation;
HOLLISTER CAPITALIST
ENDS LIFE WITH POISON.
Rancher Joseph H. Ringot Found
Dead in a Cart in His
Field.
HOLLISTER, Feb. 12.— Joseph H. Rin
got, a wealthy resident of Hollister, was
found dead in a cart in his field at noon
to-day. An empty -ottle, which had con
tained carbolic acid, was evidence of sul
ciae. The mouth was badly burnu.
Ringot was 82 years of age. For many
years he was a pioneer shipbuilder in San
Francisco. Twelve years ago ho sold his
business there and invested in farming
property, from which he derived a large
income. Within the last three months he
invested in aduitional property. It had
been his custom to drive into the field and
doze in his cart. A colored farmhand
heard him groaning, but supposed he was
snoring. Two hours later he was found
dead.
No motive can be assigned for the sui
cide, as Ringot was actively planning im
provements on his property. He leaves
an estate valued at $250,000.

FIND EVIDENCE
OF A MURDER
Boys Discover a Corpse
in a Wood Near
Tacoma.
Officials Believe It Is That of
Alfred Cushing of San
Francisco.
Slayers Had Removed All Evidence
Which Might Lend to an
Identification.
Special Dispatch to The Call,
TACOMA, Feb. 12.— Tacoma has a
murder mystery. The victim was klllr-d
nearly two months ago, and the body
concealed in the woods four miles south
of the city, near Fern Hill. Everything
which could afford the slightest clew
to his identity was removed with one
exception, and that clew leads the Cor
oner and police to believe that the man
came from San Francisco. It consists
of a stamp in his soft black hat, which
shows that it was procured at the San
Francisco Hat Works, at 111 Fourth
street, in that city.
Alfred Gushing, who came from San
Francisco in November, is missing.
His description tallies with that of the
body found last night, except that
Cushing wore gray clothes when last
seen, while the murdered man was
dressed in a new suit of black diago
nal cloth. Cushing was ; oing out near
Fern Hill looking for land, which
strengthens the belief that he may be
the murdered man.
The body was found last evening by
boys, but was not recovered until to
day. It lay on its back, with the hands
stretched out by its side. The dead
man wore a sack coat, light striped
shirt, celluloid collar and four-in-hand
scarf.
Beneath the vest was a short knitted
brown wool jacket. His pockets con
tained a black silk handkerchief, $9 33
in silver, some cartridges, a bottle half
full of whisky and a carpenter's fold
ing rule. He was five feet six inches
tall, weighed lfiO pounds and was from
30 to 35 years old. His teeth may afford
a means of identification, being pecu
liar in that an extra tooth protruded
through the roof of his mouth just to
the right of the center of his lower jaw.
One lower tooth was decayed to the
roots and two upper teeth were miss
ing. All his clothing was new and of
good quality, including underclothing
and shoes. Ten feet away was found
a cheap small caliber revolver. His
pockets bear evidence that all papers
had been removed from them.
Everything indicates that the stran
ger was murdered by having his throat
cut, for his windpipe was completely
severed. Rodents and insects had
gnawed at his face and neck, but care
ful examination shows that no bullet
had entered his hoad or body. Blood
had run down his body, which it would
not have done had he committed sui
cide and died on the spot.
The police are working on several
theories, being inclined to believe that
he was murdered for his money and
carried into the bushes by the mur
derers, who removed his letters and
papers, placing a whisky bottle and re
volver near by to indicate suicide. The
leaving of a little money in his pockets
would also tend to divert suspicon.
Alfred Cushing, who came here in No
vember, rented a room on Taooma ave
nue until February 20. He returned
from one land-hunting expedition, and
started out on another shortly before
Christmas, intending to- start a chick
en ranch, v. hen he found the right lo
cation. The fact that he has not re
turned has aroused suspicion, and it
will not be surprising if he and the
dead man are found to be identical.
Whether he has relatives in San Fran
cisco is not known, as his room con
tains absolutely nothing that reveals
who his friends were.
The remains were buried this after
noon.
PNEUMONIA CAN
NOW BE CURED
An Important Discovery Made
by Two Brooklyn
Physicians.
Special Dispatch to The Call.
NEW YORK, Feb. 12.— Considerable
discussion has been caused among mem
bers of the medical profession by news
of the discovery by two physicians of the
Borough of Brooklyn of a remedy which
they believe will cure the dre;id disease
pueumonia. Dr. Charles Lundbeck and
Dr. Carl Elfstrom, who have worked to
gether in developing this cure, are posi
tive that it will be a success. Dr. Lund
beck has the greatest faith in the cure,
and while he hag tested it on only half
a dozen patients the results fully satisfy
him that he has a method which will
revolutionize the treatment of pneumonia.
Dr. Lundbeck at his home *o-night said:
"There is not the slightest danger at
tached to the treatment, and it is pain
less. No drugs are used. I simply draw
a quantity of blood from the patient. The
amount is determined by the condition
of the patient. To give an idea of the
Quantity I may say that it is very small,
about fifty grammes, or little more than
one ounce and a half, in most cases. This
blood is prepared by a process in which
heat as well as time is a factor in pre
paring the serum. It 1h prepared in a
vessel something like an incubator. It
takes several hours to prepare it and It
is then hypodermically injected into the
patient.
"In one cose where the patient's Tungs
were solid and she had the greatest dif
ficulty in breathing the lungs began to
melt in ten or twelve hours, and she is
now fully restored to health. There is
no secret about the method. It is simply
as to the preparation of the serum that
we have had mainly to experiment. The
I serum acts in making the bacilli harm
! less and that is what effects the cure.
As soon as I have perfected all the meth
ods I will inform members of my profes
sion. There, is no desire to keep any
thing seem. It will be for the good of
humanity."
MORRISON'S SALARY
MATERIALLY REDUCED.
Justice Wallace Decides the Case of
the San Jose Street Superin
tendent.
SAN JOSK, Feb. 12.— Justice Wallace to
day decided . that George M. Morrison is
Street Superintendent and not Street
Commissioner, and consequently is en
titled to' draw- a salary of only $100 a
month under the new charter. This deci
sion was rendered in a suit brought on a
claim assigned from Morrison to recover
$125 a month salary.
Morrison was chief deputy iinder Street
Commissioner Bennett, and at the lat
ter's death was appointed Jiis successor.
Under the old charter there was the office
of Street Commissioner, but when Morri
son was appointed to the vacancy the
new charter was in effect, and the office
of Street Superintendent had been creat
ed with a salary of $100 a month. In the
meantime Morrison presented a claim
for $125 each month, which the Council
refused to allow.
KLONDIKE KING
SHOT TO DEATH
Hector C. Bollong Mur
dered by a Former
Friend.
Tragedy at Seattle Followed by
the Suicide of the
Slayer.
Were Partners and Boon Compan
ions, but Quarreled Over Prop
erty Rights.
Special Dispatch to The Call.
SEATTLE, Feb. 12.— Hector C. Bol
long, one of the men that made small
fortunes in the golden Klondike last
year, was murdered this morning. The
deed was done by his former boon com
panion, Andrew S. Annan, who then
turned the revolver to his own head
and blew out his brains.
The two men were friends in Schuy
ler, Nebr., and came to Seattle in 1888.
Bollong invested considerable money
in tide land property, improved it,
went into the cattle business and later
took Annan in as a partner. The prop
erty became involved In litigation and
Bollong and Annan quarreled as to
whether or not they should fight the
case in the courts. Annan refused to
put up any money for the litigation.
Bollong spent considerable, and the
outcome of the case was a partial vic
tory for the two men. Bollong in
sisted that Annan put up his share of
the court expenses, but Annan persist
ently refused.
A year ago came the Klondike ex
citement and Bollong went north,
leaving his parents to represent him
in the property. Annan lived With
them in a house on the dispuieu
land. Bollong had hardly been out of
the city when Annan began a series
of unsuccessful efforts to abtain sole
possession of the land. While he was
engaged in this effort Bollong re
turned from the north. He had pushed
over the passes, entered the land of
pebbly gold and obtained possession of
claims that are now admitted to be
worth $75,000.
Annan continued his efforts to get
the land, and one day recently, meeting
Bollong in the streets, he accused him
of crooked work in connection with the
litigation. Yesterday they met again.
Hot words followed, and when they
separated Bollong remarked to a friend
that Annan was "a little off."
Last night Bollong retired at about
11 o'clock. W. B. Williams, an old
friend, stayed with him. Annan, who
was still a member of the household,
occupied a room opposite that of his
former friend. This morning, when
Bollong left his bedroom to go down
stairs, Annan stepped out, revolver in
hand, and commenced to fire.
Three bullets took effect and the un
fortunate victim staggered into the
kitchen, dying a few minutes after
ward in the arms of his parents.
As he was breathing his last another
shot was heard in Annan's bedroom.
Investigation showed that the mur
derer had taken his own life.
Bollong leaves a father, mother,
three brothers and four sisters to
mourn his death. Two of his brothers
live in Fairhaven, this State, and the
other in San Bernardino County, Cal.
Two of his sisters live in this city and
the other two in California. All of his
sisters are married except one.
Annan is believed to have had rela
tives in Schuyler, Nebr.

and G. B. Lyman of this place to-day
examined Mrs. G. H. Lyall, who resides
with her husband near Verona, on a
charge of insanity. She was pronounced
insane and committed by Superior Judge
E. A. Davis to the Napa Asylum.
Mrs. Lyall became violently Insane
three or four days ago. On Wednesday
she jumped into the Sacramento River,
with her seven months old babe in her
arms. Her husband waded out to his
armpits and succeeded in getting hold of
her. John Melndeor. who was on the op
posite side of the river, jumped into a
skiff and rowed across to the rescue. He
reached the child oefore it finally sank.
Vigorous measures linally restored the
child to life.
Mrß. Lyall was for a time an inmate of
the Ctockton Asylum about eight years
ago, a fact which was disclosed to her
husband to-day for the first time.
ENGLAND'S TREATY
WITH ABYSSINIA.
King Menelik Undertakes to Pro-
tect British Trade and Keep
Arms From Madhists.
LONDON, Feb. 12.— The publication of
the treaty with Abyssinia will prove sen
sational. The rumors of big British con
cessions are groundless. Great Britain
secures another open door and the most
favored nation treatment in respect to
imports and local taxation. King Mene
lik undertakes that the caravan route
between Harrar and Zoila will be kept
open for British tmde and promises to
prevent arms and ammunition from
reaching the Mahdists, whom he ex
pressly declares to be the enemies of his
empire.
