TAYLOR IS NOW IN JAIL Is Charged With Abduct ingr a Young Wife. FLED TO AVOID ARREST. RETURNED ONLY TO BE SERVED WITH A WARRANT. Attempting to Find Out Who Sent the Bogus Subpena That Caused Mrs. Struber to Leave Her Home. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 90S Broadway, May 27. Joseph Taylor was taken to the County Jail to-day charged with a serious crime. It is alleged that some months ago he abducted a young wife from Oakland for the purpose of placing her amid disrep utable associates. Two months ago Mrs. Lemery Struber, «. girl about 17 years of age, was taken by her husband to a lodging house not fitted for her as a dwelling. For this offense Struber was convicted of a felony, and Is now spending three years In San Quentin. Not long after the trial the young wife's mother notified the police that her daughter had disappeared, and Inquiry showed that a false subpena to appear at an imaginary trial in Judge Cliffs court had been served upon her. end ihat advantage had been taken of her leaving home to attend the court to ab duct her. It was proved that there was no authority for issuing the subpena, and no case in which the girl was wanted as a witness. Joseph Taylor, who was suspected of being a party to the abduction, was at that time living at Fruitvale. working as a broommaker. The young wife's brother swore out a warrant for the arrest of Taylor, charging him with abducting his elster for immoral purposes. As soon as the warrant was issued, Taylor disap peared, and he has not been seen until a couple of days ago. He then felt it cafe to return, but only reached Oakland In time to be arrested. He was unable to account for his sudden flight, which Is Indicated as bearing out. in some meas ure, the suspicion of his guilt. After Taylor's disappearance, the girl was found in San Francisco and brought home, and it is presumed that she has confided in her brother, the prosecuting ■witness, who is responsible for her ab duction. Taylor is held in $2000 bonds, ■which he has not been able to give, and his preliminary examination will be held before Justice Clift next Tuesday after noon. MYSTERIOUS DEATH AT PIEDMONT BATHS A MAN BaDLY SCALDED IS FOUND ON THE SLAB. Jahnigan'g Stomach to Be Analyzed, as There Is a Possibility That Hs Swallowed Some Poison. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway. May 27. Gustave Jahnigan, a bartender, died at the Piedmont baths early this morning under peculiar circumstances. He was resting on a marble slab after taking a Hammam by an attendant. For a few days Jahnigan has been absent from his work. After leaving the hot room at the baths, James Gouterman proposed to rub Jahni gan down, but the latter said he preferred to rest on the slab and would call the attendant when h>' needed him. As no call came, Gouterman went to Jahnigan, and found him dead. The body was re moved to the Morgue. Jahnigan was 4S years of age, and leaves a widow and five children. He was a popular member of the A. O. U. %V. One of his sons recently enlisted, and is now waiting for a cail to the front. Alter tiic bouy \sas reuiovcu to the , Morgue Coroner Baldwin was greatly surprised to find that the skin was burned so severely that it would peel off. , No autopsy was held, but the organs were found in a healthy condition and there was nothing to indicate the cause of death. "1 intended to hold an autopsy to- i night," said Coroner Baldwin, '"but after closely examining: the body I decided that it is scarce calling for a thorough exam lnatlon. There is no organic disease that may have caused death, so I suppose it was caused either by the great heat of the bath which has burned the body so badly, or else the man must have taken < ?oison. I have sent the stomach to Pro- Meor Colly at lite State University for analysis, and have set the Inquest for next Tuesday r.ight." HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES.

BERKELEY, May 27.— At the Chico forestry station of the agricultural de partment of the State University the suc cessful experiment has been made of in troducing a new species of rapid-growing willow from Asia Minor. Six-inch cut tings of the new tree— the Salix salmonei — at the end of thirty-one months (ten months in the nursery and the remaining twenty-one months in a grove) reached the height of 32 feet. The circumference of the tree was 22 inches and the spread of its branches 12 feet The wonderful quickness of this growth is realized when compared with that of the common bas ket willow, which in the same period reached a height of 7Vs feet, with a girth of 5 inches and a spread of 5 feet. "Some day," declares Inspector Charles H. Shinn of the experiment stations, "for fuel, for fence posts, for charcoal and for manu facturing purposes, the new species of salix which we have succeeded in intro ducing will become of great commercial importance." Experiments with eucalypti and acacias at the Chico station have not met with such success. Even large trees of the blue gum variety were killed by the frost, and the only hardy varieties of the eu calyptus which seemed able to endure were the vimlnalls, the genokles, the alpina and the Gunnel. Although gums of all varieties grow well in Southern California and around the bay. Inspector Shinn has come to the conclusion that they are more adapted to the low-lying valley of the Sacramento. "The growth of forest trees, however, proves that the Chico district is as well adapted as any in the State to a great range of deciduous and coniferous trees, and particularly the oaks and ashes and other hardwood trees." ■♦ ■ — SUDDEN DEATH IN BERKELEY. The Body of a Professional Woman Nurse Found in the Cali fornia Hotel. BERKELEY, May 27.— Mrs. Mary Chat field, a professional nurse, aged about 50 years, was found dead this morning in a room of the California Hotel on the cor ner of Shattuck and University avenues. Certain peculiar circumstances surround the death, which, however, was in all probability due to alcoholism. Yesterday afternoon the woman was brought, to the hotel in a hack, while evidently under the influence of liquor. She threw herself upon the bed, where she lay groaning, disregarding the chambermaid's sugges tion that she disrobe and retire. Little attention was paid to her groans, as it was supposed that her conduct was due to drinking. This morning the groans had ceased, and when the room was entered the woman was found to be dead. The body was removed to the Berkeley Branch Morgue, where an inquest will be held. The dead woman for some months past has been employed as a nurse by Mrs. Kimball Easton of Jefferson and Eleventh streets, Oakland. For the past week she had been partially intoxicated, and yesterday Mr. Easton discharged her and sent her to the California Hotel in Berkeley, where she had stopped on previous occasions. After she had left it was found she had consumed nearly a pint and a half of wood alcohol, only a very small dose of which is necessary to produce death. Nothing was found about the person of the dead woman that would tend to in dicate suicide. Of her antecedents or associates almost nothing is known. Frightened Into Jumping. BERKELEY, May 27.— Andrew Hansen, the 8-year-old son of A. Hansen of 2417 Fifth street. West Berkeley, broke his leg yesterday in jumping from a high fence near the bay shore. The lad was playing with some companions on the fence, when some older girls threatened to give him a whipping. The little fellow, fearing that they would carry out their threat, jumped to the ground, receiving a serious fracture of the legbone. Berkeley News Notes. BERKELEY.

ALAMEDA, May 27.— Captain Simpson of Company G will open a recruiting of fice in Haywards for the purpose of ob taining volunteers to fill up the ranks of Company Gof this city. Although there is a population of 16,000 people in this city for some reason the young men appear loth to offer their services to their coun try, and hence it seems necessary to go outside of the town to raise the number of men required. The company had the full number just after the first call for troops, but many of the volunteers on finding that it was not going at once, en listed with other commands. Hence the present shortage. Railroad Crossing Franchise. ALAMEDA, May 27.— The City Trustees will hold a special meeting to-night to discuss the proposed franchise to the Southern Pacific for a crossing on Web ster street near the end of the estuary bridge. Inasmuch as it will be necessary to make quite a grade at that point, is has been suggested that the street be lowered a little and a bridge put in for the steam milroad, allowing the electric line and other traffic to go underneath. Other wise the crossing will be a very dangerous one and an obstacle to traffic in that di rection. Decoration Day. ALAMEDA. May 27.— There will be no celebration of Decoration day in this city on Monday next. A squad of ten men has been detailed from Company G to go to the cemeteries in Oakland and do the honors over the graves of two former rr.-mbcrs of the organization, but beyond this there will be no ceremonies or other observance. _ The Star speaks of contracts and Chi nese.

Interesting Exercises at MacdonougJbi Theater — His Grace Archbishop Biordan Presents the Diplomas. Oakland Office San Francisco Cajl, 90S Broadway, May 27. The Macdonough Theater was crowded ' to-night with the friends of the gradu ates of St. Mary's College. Archbishop Rlordan presided ajid presented the di plomas to the graduating class, consist- Ing of Thomas H. Donovan, Leo P. Tor mey, James J. ODea, W. P. Sullivan, An drew P. Finan, Edward T. Mallon. Frank I A. Silva and John A. Young. • The class essays were on Interesting j ' topics and showed much study and ; thought on the part of the orators. W. P. Sullivan dealt with '•The American Re public," and in his remarks said: "The j unity and liberty of our republic must be | preserved in order that we may attain to j the elevation that Providence has dcs- ; tlned for us. Wo must be ever mindful . of our motto, 'E plurlbus unum,' for In ' 'unity there is strength." We must ever I keep in mind the grand idea of true lib erty which it has been given our nation to realize and ever strive to reach a po sition that the God of nations intended we should occupy — the peer among the nations of the earth." "Who Fears to Speak of '98?" was the ! subject handled by Andrew P. Finan, who j said in brief: "Far from being ashamed ' of that eventful period of Irish history I known as the insurrection of '98, we find ; much in it to commend and admire. The history of Ireland has been a checkered one foV centuries. Still the shadows have ■ been brightened from time to time by the light of faith and hope. Most other coun- ! tries have had seasons of prosperity and i progress. But Ireland, rrora the landing ! of Strongbow, has had no such experi- ; ence. For more than seven hundred i years this devoted island, appropriately termed 'first flower of the earth and first ', gem of the sea,' has been the scene of cruel persecutions and atrocious misrule, i In consequence rebellions have been of \ frequent occurrence, though mostly un successful, but hope has never died out In the Irish heart." Leo F. Tormey, in a clever thesis, re ferred to the Monroe doctrine and said: , "Our republic has reached a point in its [ development where fear of European ag- j gression may be disregarded Away, therefore, with the purpose of those who i would carry us back to the conditions j from which we broke in the glorious i days of the Revolution. Base is the ill ! disguised purpose of those who would | Europeanize America. t"p with the glo- ' rious flag of independence. Long may it wave over us ana our posterity, symbol izing on its genial folds no base or de grading foreign policies, but, untainted and unpolluted, let it be transmitted to posterity, upheld by principles American in their origin, their nature and promul gation." "Pope Leo XIII and His Pontificate." was the subject chosen by Thomas W. Donovan. He said: "Fired by the holy and ardent desire j of drawing the human race nearer to their Creator and aided by his remark able abilities as a statesman, Leo XIII has performed prodigies in the cause of religion. He re-pstablished the Scottish ! hierarchy, secured the pardon and return i of the Polish Bishops who had been ex i!sd from their flocks, and secured for German Catholic* the right to practice their religion in peace. "Of a remarkable personality, he at- 1 tracts with a magnetic force which is ' almost irresistible. His manner, though kind, is firm and adamant and he displays ; a remarkable force of character in all ! his undertakings; the ardor with which j he performs every duty is infused into those who come in contact with him, and although he has reached the grand old ; age of 88 years he continues to perform the duties of his high office with an en ergy little short of supernatural." "The American Navy, Past and Pres ent," is a timely subject upon which j James I. O'Dt-a found much to say. He ! compared the navies of ISI2 and 1898 and dosed as follows: "And now we are In the midst of a conflict with a European nation untried before. We have taken up the gage of battle in behalf of a starving, perishing island— an upward striving nationality. t*owever opinions may differ as to the justness of the motives, Congress has de clared for war; and if present omens au gur anything of the future, the United States will achieve one of her greatest naval triumphs. Already the skies are brightening with the prospects of dawn ing victory and peace. The mantle of the old commodore has fallen on one gas lant man, the hero of Manila. The echoej of Dewey's cannon have gone reverber ating around the whole world, astounding the nations at American pluck, ability and triumph. "Our destiny, In a great measure, is in the hands of our seamen and we feei confident that it is in good keeping. The history of the American sailor makes us trust that wherever national interests may place him, they will be bravely, he roically and triumphnntly safeguarded." John A. Young presented an elaborate review of the pioneers of missionary work in America. He paid particular atten tion to the work of those pioneers of re ligion who laid the foundation of civil ization in the Spanish territory that is now the State of California. Frank A. Silva dealt with the life and work of General Rosecrans, who recently died in Southern California. He referred to the Christian character of the dead warrior and of how religion dominated his action both in war and in peace. In dealing with public opinion Edward Thomas Mallon said some very trenchant things. He stated that much that is ac cepted as public opinion does not deserve the name, but is the worst form of dem agogy. He also said that an able editor can mold public opinion to a great ex tent and thnt such opinion possesses power enough to even compel vice to hide its head, or if it persist in living it shall only do so under the mask of hypocrisy. ______________ A Wife-Beater Punished.

HE WAS POSTET AS DEAD THINKS THE ANNOUNCEMENT WAS MALICIOUS. In the Meantime Other Parties to the Church Scandal Are Scouring Around for a Beason of the Humor. Oakland Office Saij Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, May 27. A little notice stating that P. B. Chris inger, a resident of North Oakland, had died, was sent to the newspapers last night. The notice was as follows: "Died, P. C. Chrißiuger, Wednesday evening, while at tending a meeting of the Thirty-fourth Street Methodist Episcopal Church; be waa called upon to give testimony and waa stricken down and died suddenly. Cause, heart trouble. Arrangements for the funeral will be announced later." P. B. Chrisinger was one of the parties who signed the formal complaint against George Nail, superintendent of the church Sunday-school, which resulted in the re cent sensational trial. At this trial one of the most interested witnesses was Erasmus T. Leavell, an elderly man who, it is said, is responsible for the notices of Chrisinger's death. An investigation showed that the death notice is entirely false. There was no meeting of the church Wednesday evening, and Mr. Chrisinger is at present alive and enjoy ing excellent health. He declares that the circulation of the death notice is a plot ! to bring him into an unpleasant compli- ] cation. "Do I look like a dead man?" asked Mr. i Chrisinger to-day. "I certainly don't feel like a corpse, nor can I understand what i under the sun could set people to circu lating such a story. I was at the prayer meeting Wednesday night, but no one dropped dead. I would like to know what j Mr. Leavell means. 1 suppose they are still trying to draw me into the church trouble. I was class leader there for two I years, and while this cnurch trial was in ! progress they were trying to drag me into j it. One women said I had made the as- j sertion that there was not adecent woman < in the congregation. When she was called before the church committee to repeat it she said it was some other man that made the assertion. It happened that there were two ladies present when she said I had made the statement, and they were ready to testify I had said nothing of the kind. "Now, I suppose, somebody wants to prejudice me in the church. 1 was a wit ness at the recent trial and told just what i I knew and no more. The matter now | rests with the committee, and nobody i knows what the decision will be." In the meantime the other members in volved in the church scandal are trying to discover a reason for the circulation of i the report of Chrisinger's death. The bit ter feeling engendered since Jhe filing of the complaint is growing rather than de- | creasing, and itis not beyond the bounds of ; possibility that the unpleasant affair may j yet have a tragic ending.
