after a desperate attempt to outrun
Officers J. W. Capels and C. Peters, all
using their revolvers freely, he shot
himself, inflicting a mortal wound,
rather than go to prison. The man's
untimely end was as tragic as it was
unexpected. Edward Solomon, the
confederate, is now behind the bars at
the City Prison with the charge of
burglary lodged against him.
The story of the burglary and sui
cide is told by Officer Peters. His beat
Is on Montgomery avenue, from Mont
gomery street to Powell. He has been
on the lookout for midnight prowlers
fnr some time on account of the fact
that they have been pretty much in
evidence at North Beach lately. He
Bays :
"It was about 4:20 a. m. when I saw
a tall, heavy man who turned out to
be Solomon in front of Weber's store.
I crossed the street and asked him
what his business was there at that
time in tlv morning. He said he was a
baker out of work and was waiting for
a certain baker's wagon to pass and
tak>' him out to Ingleside. There he
said he believed he could get a place. I
did not think the tale true, but had no
reason to make any arrest.
"After searching the man and find
ing nothing suspicious on his person I
told him good morning and walked
down the avenue looking for a place
■where I could hide and watch the
man's actions. I met Officer Capels
and Special Rodriguez and told them
my suspicions. Rodriguez was in
civilian's garb and he walked slowly
up past Solomon, it having been ar
ranged previously that if he saw any
thing suspicious he was to sound his
■whistle and arrest him. When Rodri
guez reached the place he saw anoih-r
man emerge from the rear store and

walk up to where Solomon stood. He
blew his whistle and started toward
them. Solomon stood still, but the
other man ran as fast as he could up
Green street, with Rodriguez almost at
his heels and Capels and myself barely
thirty yards behind and rapidly gain-
Ing. •
"Half way up the block the fleeing
burglar turned and sent a bullet whiz
zing past the head of Rodriguez. The
latter dropped on one knee and emptied
his revolver at the fellow, but failed
to hit him. He missed each time and
returned to arrest Solomon, who had
stood quietly in front of the store. As
soon as the special had done firing I
sent two bullets after Nelson, arid Ca
pels shot once just as the burglar was
turning to the right Into Powell street.
"On Powell, between Green and
Union, I fired twice more. When Nel
son reached Union street he was near
ly twenty yards ahead. He sped across
Powell street to the left and up Union.
He was around the) corner out of sight
for an instant, and then it was that
we heard a single shot. As we round
ed the corner in hot pursuit, there lay
the burglar, about fifty feet from the
corner. He was lying on his face, his
head being toward us. A bulldog re
volver lay near his feet, and the blood
was pouring from a wound in his
breast. He was dead."
The policemen then sent for the
Morgue wagon, while Rodriguez took
Solomon to the City Prison. He admits
that he knew Nelson, but claims that
their meeting at this hour so far from
home, both living in the same house at
512 Bush street, was purely accidental.
He sticks to the same "baker story"
he told before his arrest.
The policemen together fired eleven
times. An autopsy over the body of
the dead man shows that the bullet
from a 3. c -caliber revolver entered the
breast above the right nipple, passed
through both lungs and the heart and
came out beneath the left shoulder
blade. The man was a painter by oc
cupation, a native of England and 27
years old. He lived with a half-breed
negress at 512 Bush street. He was an
opium fiend and had an unsavory rec
ord, having been sent to the County
Jail on February 16, 1892, for petit lar-
ceny, and to Folsom on January 26.
1894, for burglary, under the name of
Silas W. Carter. He was detected with
another desperate character named
Chfrles Wilson in robbing the resi
dence of Mrs. Schofield, Attorney EL E.
Highton's mother-in-law, at 1715 Tay
lor street. He was discharged Septem
ber 7, 18i*7. Kelson was also one of the
three men who assaulted General
Barnes at an early hour on the morn
ing of February 23, 1593. When arrest
ed a few nights later these men. includ
i ing Nelson, were waiting at Jefferson
i square for Dr. Abrams. vVilson
! escaped from Folsom March 11, IS9B.
! and has never been retake."i.
In Peters' statement one fact Is omit
ted — that there was another witness to
the skirmish, and the fact that the man
had shot himself, Edward F. Distel,
foreman of The Call zinco department!
Distel was on his way home, and had
reached the Intersection of Green and
Powell streets, when Nelson turned
into Powell In the race. P'-ters was the
; foremost pursuer and ran up to Distel,
; shoving his revolver into his face, with
j the remark: "Who are you?"
"No matter," was the response;
"there goes your man," pointing to
Nelson, fleeing down Powell street.
Distel also ran along with the officers,
i and bears evidence to the truth of their
statements that Nelson was around the
corner when the shot rang out. He
| was the first, besides the officers, to
i reach the body. Nobody else arrived
; on the scene for several minutes.
That it was a suicide is further
proved by the fact that tho revolver of
the dead burglar had three chambers
emptied, two having been discharged
at the officers, and evidently one at
himself. About six weeks ago he was
found in Gus Schultz's room, at 512
Bush street. Schultz having been ar
rested for burglary. At that time he
was searched by Detectives Bee and

NOT FIT FOR WILD ANIMALS.
Health Officer Dunn Condemns Oakland's Vile
City Prison.
OAKLAND, Feb. 11— The Health Officer stated to-day that unless something
be done with the City Prison he will proceed to placard it and declare It unfit
for human habitation. This will make it a misdemeanor to put a man in prison
after he Is arrested.
"The present state of our City Prison ."said the Health Officer In his official re
port, 'Ms a blot on the escutcheon of Oakland. Overcrowded, low and poorly
drained, Infested with vermin that cannot be destroyed and permeated with
divers odors, it forms a very antithesis of the sanitary ideal of a prison. The
cells are all located in a cellar unfit for caging wild animals, not to speak of
confining human beings. The larger cells are fearfully overcrowded, and all
are practically never reached by the rays of the sun. Thus the natural damp
ness of the place is made to ever threaten an epidemic among those confined in
the prison. One of these larger cells Is used for the female prisoners, and into
it are crowded all classes of female malefactors, no opportunity for segregation
being given. To reach the cells occupied by another class— the morphine fiends,
one must wend his way through narrow alley ways to finally reach two dark,
damp and malodorous rooms, into which are, crowded nine or ten mor
phi-maniaos. No recommendations for alterations can be made, for the place,
h^ing absolutely inadequate in size and location for the purpose to which it is
put, nothing short of condemnation will suffice. Therefore, I pray that the City
Council of Oakland will, as soon as possible, set about the building of a new City
Prison, in which the poor unfortunates confined within its walls can be hu
mannly treated.
"The most crying need of the City Prison Is a hospital annex, where sick
patients can receive proper medical attendance and care. At the present sick
prisoners are kept in the same or similar cells and subjected to the same dis
comforts as are the healthy.
"Thus there is no possibility of giving them that careful attention, or of
placing them amid those sanitary surroundings that are of such paramount
importance in the treatment of disease.
"Therefore a malady, which would be trivial if properly treated, frequently,
on account of the present lack of facilities, assumes an aspect of the gravest
danger."
Mayor Thomas has declared that the place is not fit for dogs, and says it
compares unfavorably with the Pound.
This afternoon Attorney Garrity stated that he intended to swear out a writ
of habeas corpus on behalf of his client, Charlie Lee, an Americanized Chinese,
who forges checks. He will use as his evidence the reports of the Mayor and of
successive Grand Juries and of Health Officer Dunn. While it is not doubted
that this will be sufficient evidence to secure the release of the prisoner, it will
only end in his being transferred to the County Jail, as his crime is a felony.
A special committee of the City Council, composed of Messrs. Cuvellier, Fl
busb and Upton, is now investigating the condition of the City Prison, as a re
sult of the communication recently sent to the Council by Mayor Thomas, and
it is probable that something will be done immediately.
Harper, and a revolver was found on
his person. He gave as an excuse for
carrying it that if he ever did wrong
again and was likely to be caught he
intended to kill himself. The same tale
was told to Solomon's wife.
Weber's cigar store is a sort of hole
in-the-wall. Nelson broke the padlock
to enter, and placed one of his own on
the door when he left. On the Inside
was found a flour sack containing six
boxes of cigars, some loose cigars and
thirty packages of tobacco. •

NEW CLERGY HOUSE FOR HAYWARDS.
OAKT,AND. Feb. 12.— A real estate transaction was closed to-day at Hay
wards by which Rev. John A. Lally has acquired a splendid church property,
on which is a dwelling, that will in future be used as the clergy house of the
parish.
Rev. Father L,ally has only been a few weeks in charge of the parish at Hay
wards, but he has already laid the foundation for extending the scope of church
work. The town has long needed a clergy house, and Father Lally at once set
about acquiring one. He entered into negotiations with John Ruppricht and se
lected a plat of two and a half acres adjoining the church. There is a modern
dwelling on this property, and to-day the purchase was completed, and will be at
once used for the needs of the parish. It is the intention of the pastor to
erect in the future a new church that shall be large enough for the growing
town, and a convent school is also to be erected.
The site Is one of the finest in town, and ts located on a hill, from which
can be seen the bay and adjoining towns. It is considered one of the best church
properties in Alameda County. Father Lally came to Haywards from Half
mnnn Biv and Dlxon. and la already very popular In his new Darlsh.
STANFORD WINS
THE FIRST GAME
Opening Match of the Alumni
University Baseball
League.
Slow Cam« Devoid of Interest
but There Was a Very Close
Score.
The first prime between the alumni
nine, composed of graduates of both
Stanford and California and Stanford's
varsity baseball team was succesful in
every respect but attendance. For nine
protratted innings the players cavorted
! on the field and not a cheer for either
i side disturbed the perfect calm that pre
| vailed. Stanford won out by a score of
5 to 3. Only in the last inning was there
! any show of a contest, when the alumni,
, recovering from a lethargy that was con
: suming, exerted itself and scored three
With but one or two exceptions the
game was devoid of interest or features.
! Lannigan, Stanford's pitcher, a long
young man with I<>iik black hair, was
j the cause of the samu lasting over two
I hours. Before delivering the spheroid he
would pose in several different styles,
weighing the chances of being found in
successive mental evolutions and meas
uring distances with s! jw and calm delib
eration. Now and then a shout from the
persecuted spectators would force upon
his mind a recollection of where he was
and the ball would be thrown. Lannigan
has speed, however, but the ball must be
thrown before it can be appreciated. His
work was successful, for he sent few to
bases on balls and retired many.
On the part of Stanford the game was
devoid of errors; five were charged to the
alumni account.
In the last time at bat, with the score
5 to 0 against them, the ex-college men
redeemed their former inactivity and
■ scored three runs by the splendid hitting
I and base-running of Lewis, Allen and
McKee. William Lange umpired the
game.

tractions.
President Barrlngton Will Give the
School Children Half Holi
days.
The management of the Mining Fair
have prepared an elaborate programme
for to-day, and a large crowd is ex
pected to be in attendance. In the af
ternoon the Martels will appear in their
popular and daring bicycle riding act,
and this will be followed by a sacred
concert to be rendered by Bennett's
band.
At night there will be a special con
cert of unusual excellence, at which
the celebrated prima donna, Baroness
Marie yon Zieber, will sing. She will
render two solos of her own selection.
The baroness is quite noted In the mus
ical world. She is said to possess a
soprano of wonderful range, tone and
sympathy. At one time she traveled
in the East as the soloist of Sousa's
band, and scored a triumph by her ar
tistic ability.
Lincoln day was observed at the Fair
yesterday with lengthy_and elaborate
exercises. The programme was ar
ranged by W. W. Stone, the president
of the Lincoln Monument Fund, and
was successfully carried out. A large
number of school children participated
and helped to make the occasfon a suc
cess. The Horace Mann, Hamilton,
Burnett, Afission and Hearst schools
were represented by their drill corps,
and in addition to these there were del
egations from the other schools of the
city. The drilling of the different
schools was excellent and greatly en
joyed by the crowd. Miss C. F, Starke,
of the Hearst Grammar School, read
Lincoln's Gettysburg address, and there
was singing by a boys' quartet. All
the school children sang "America"
with great effect.
The management of the Fair is par
ticularly pleased with the action of C.
L. Barrington, of the Board of Edu
cation, in granting their request that
the children of the different schools be
given on certain days a half holiday
in which to visit the Fair. A schedule
has been arranged for the various
schools, and Tuesday will be the open
ing day, at which time the pupils of
the Jefferson, Adams, Agassiz, Bernal,
Broadway, Buena Vista, Burnett and
Longfellow schools will visit the Fair.
A souvenir spoon will be presented to
each lady who visits the Fair this af
ternoon.
