2 MURDERERS HAND BLOTS OUT FAMILY Ranch Near Downey the Scene of an Awful Tragedy. A. P. Wilcox, His Wife and Two- Year-Old Babe the Victims. Unknown Assassin Completes H'.s Work by Wontonly Mutilating the Bodies of the Dead. LOS ANGELES, Nov. I".— A. P. Wilcox, his wife and 2-year-old son were murdered by an unknown person in their home, two miles from Downey and twelve miles cast "of Los Angeles. The tragedy took place not later iho.ii Sunday night but news or it did not reach the Sheriff's office ur.ti! noon to-day. Sher iff Hammei and Coroner Holland left for the scene immediately. Evidently the murderer had met resist ance on the part of his victims. All rhe bodies were horribly mutilated. Invefcti n showed that the criminal had UaC-J a. revolver and then completed his work with a knife, with which he had stabbeu and hacked his victims to pieces. Scene at the Wilcox Home, William Twesberry, wiio rented the place to Wilcox. went over to the house this morning and found everything closed. H* looked through the windows and saw the bodies stretched on the floor. He noti fied Constable Romer. who in turn tele phoned to Sheriff Hammei in this city. 'ihe Sheriff arrived at the ranch shortly ifier noon and proceeded to make an ex amination of the premises. The doors cf the four-room cottage which the Wilcoxcs occupied were closed, but one of the kitchen windows was open. family had evidently been surprised at dinner or breakfast. Mrs. Wilcox had been shot while carrying a plate from the stove to the table. The baby lay in the middle of the room, while the body of its mother was stretched out near the door. Wilcox had been beaten upon tlit head with a revolver, and a greai knife I had laid open his abdomen. The Louies had evidently been set on fire, for the clothing was badly burned. The child had been shot through the head and the bullet was found imbedded at the back of the skull. Mrs. Wilcox Lad been shot from behind, apparently. Fierce Attack on Husband. The husband clearly was the object cf the fiercest assault. The top of his head was beaten into a pulp. None of the Wilcox family have betn teen s'.nct- last Thursday evening so far as can be ascertained. The house sets back off the main road nearly a mile an i tried from general observation. One of the neighbors. Mr. Stack, says he he^rd a. noise like the breaking of" a box on Sunday morning. He is now convinced that this noise was the report of a pistol The weapon used by the murderer was a 38-cal:bre revolver, as is indicated by sev eral empty shells found on the floor. la the back room was found a hatchet, tut n« bloodstains were to be found on it. The room where ib.e slaughter took place was in a frightful condition. The table, with the meal still spread, however, re mained undisturbed. The theory of the Downey residents and of the officers is that the woman and child were killed by the first and second shots, the murderer having entered unobserved. The husband received the third bullet but not until he had been beaten to insensi bility. :>icion at first pointed to Bert Lewis, former husband of Mrs. Wilcox. Sheriff Hammei notified all his deputies to look for Lewis, who. it was alleged, had been heard to threaten the life of his former wife. That revenge or some similar mo tive, and not robbery, induced the crime 16 indicated by the fact that nothing had been taken from the bodies or from the house. Lewis was arrested in Downey this evening. After a consultation between the Sheriff and the District Attorney, however, he was released- The District Attorney decided that there was not suffi cient evidence against Lewis to warrant his detention. The authorities have no further clew to work on. The bodies of the three victims were brought to Los Angeles to-night and placed in an undertaking establishment. NEW YORK. Nov.

UNCLE SAM WILL NEVER BE A BULLY I Continued from Page One. difficult, if not impossible, for me to speak. There are two important lines of human endeavor in which men are for bidden even to allude to their successes affairs of the heart and diplomatic affairs. "But if we are not permitted to boast of what we have done, we can at least say a word about what we have tried to do and the principles which have guided our action. The briefest expression of our rule of conduct Is, perhaps, the Mon roe doctrine and the golden rule. With this simple chart we can hardly go far wrong. Sincerity of Attitude. "I think I may say that our sister re publics to the south of us are perfectly convinced of the sincerity of our attitude. They know we desire the prosperity of each cf them, and peace and harmony among them. We no more want their territory than we covet the mountains of the moon. We are grieved and distressed when there are differences among them, but even then we should never think of trying to compose any of those differ ences unless by the request of both par ties to It. Not even our earnest desire for peace among them will lead us to any action which might offend their national dignity or their just sense of independ ence. We would endow them with all the consideration we claim for ourselves. "As to what we have tried to do— what we are still trying to do — in the general field of diplomacy, there is no reason for doubt on the one band or reticence on the other. President McKinley, in his messages during the last four years, has made the subject perfectly clear. We have striven, on the lines laid down by Washington, to cultivate friendly rela tions with all powers, but not to take part in the formation of groups or com binations among them. A position of complete independence is not incompati ble with relations involving not friendship alon^. but concurrent action as well in important emergencies. We have kept al ways in view the fact that we are pre eminently a peace loving people: that our natural activities are In the direction of trade and commerce; that the vast de velopment of our industries imperatively demands that we shall not only retain and confirm our hold on our present mar kets, but seek constantly, by all honora ble means, to extend our commercial in terests in every- practicable direction. "It is for this reason we have nego tiated the treaties of reciprocity which now await action of the Senate; ail of them conceived in the tra ditional American spirit of protec tion to our own industries and yet mutually advantageous to ourselves and our neighbors. In the same spirit we have sought successfully to induce all the great powers to unite in a recognition of the general principle of equality or com mercial access and opportunity in the markets of the Orient. We believe that a "fair field and ho favor" is all we reo.uire; and with less than that we can not be satisfied. If we accept the assur ances we have received as honest and genuine, as I certainly do, that equality will not be denied us; and the result may be safely left to American genius and energ>\ Interests in the Pacific. "We consider our interests in the Pacific Ocean as great now as those of any other power and destined to indefinite develop ment. We have opened our doors to the people of Hawaii; we have accepted th"c responsibility of the Philippines, which providence Imposes on us; we have put an end to the embarrassing condition In which we were involved in Samoa, and while abandoning none of our commercial rights In the entire group, we have es tablished our flag and our authority in Tutuila, which gives us the finest harbor in the South Seas. Next In order wfll come a Pacific cable and an Isthmian canal for the use of all well-disposed peo ples, but under exclusive American own ership ana American control — of both of which great enterprises President Mc- Kinley and President Roosevelt have been the energretic and consistent champions. "Sure as we are of our rights in these matters, convinced as we are of the au thenticity of the vision which has led us thus far and still beckons us forward, I can yet assure you that so long as the ad» ministration of your affairs remains in hands as strong and skillful as those to THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1901. MINERS MEET IN A BATTLE Union Forces Close a Shaft and Destroy Property; Tools Are Burned, Men Injured and a Town Is in Terror* VINCENNES, Ind...Nov. 19.-Three hun dred union miners from Washington, Princeton, Petersburg, Linton, Sullivan ; and BickneM'came here during the night and early to-day marched to the shaft j of the Prospect Hill Coal Mining Com ! pany, where non-union miners are em • ployed, and closed the shaft. They de- i ' t-troyed property, assaulted a number of ! miners and are still in the vicinity of the ; mine. The entire city is excited and more j trouble is feared. Owing to a recent strike the mine was ! not being operated at night, and only the ! watchman, Buck Azbell, was on dut>\ He ¦was beaten and placed under guard, i while fifty men went to a shack ocou i pied by half a dozen miners, when a gen i era! fight resulted, in which Perry Collins, : an attorney of Washington, who was vis iting the owner of the sha-ck, and Wil liam Scott and Joe Devlne, non-union miners, were badly beaten and left In a ! serious condition^ The union men then returned to the : mine, stopped the pumps, burned all the : tcols they could find, and after leaving instructions that they would return in I i case the mine was started and the scale ! r.ot paid marched back to town and dis ! banded. which they have been and are now com mitted, there will be no more surrender •of our rights than there will be violation of the rights of others. The President to whom you have given your invaluable trust and confidence, like his now immor tal predecessor, is as incapable of bully ing a strong power as he is of wringing a weak one. He feels and knows— for has he not tested it in the currents of heavy fight, as well as in the toilsome work of administration?— that the ' nation over whose destinies he presides has a giant's strength in the works of war, as in the works of peace. But that consciousness of strength brings with it no temptation to do injury to any power on earth, the proudest or the humblest. We frankly confess we seek the friendship of all the powers; we want to trade with all peoples; we are conscious of resources that will make our commerce a source of advan tage to them and also profit to ourselves. But no wantonness or strength will ever induce us to drive a hard bargain with another nation because it is weak, nor will any fear of ignoble criticism tempt us to insult or defy a great power beciuse it is strong or even because it is friendly. "The attitude of our diplomacy may be indicated in a text of Scripture which Franklin— the first and greatest of our diplomats— tells us passed through his mind when he was presented at the court of Versailles. It was a text his father used to quote to him in the old candle shop in Boston when he was a boy: " 'Seest thou a man diligent in business, he shall stand before kings." "Let us be diligent in our business and we shall stand— stand, you see, not crawl,, nor swagger— stand as a friend and equal, asking nothing, putting up with nothing but what is right and just among our people in the great democracy of na tions." Embassador Choate Speaks. After he concluded Secretary Hay was obliged several times to acknowledge the applause accorded him. by the diners. •Governor Odell spoke to the toast, "The State of New York," and Mayor elect Low replied to the toast, "The City of New ifork." Joseph H. Choate, Embassador to the Court of St. James, was next introduced. After the applause had subsided he spoke with his usual eloquence, dwelling mostly on the recent visit of the delegates of the New York Chamber of Commerce to London. He enlarged on the sympathy which had been shown by the British people at the time of the death of Presi dent McKinley and said that not only had the sympathy been manifested almost every hour for days after that event by royalty, but that all classes were quite aa sorrowful. In view of these facts Choate thought this Government justified in u-.nking that England's .grief was an ex pression of national sympathy. Choate was followed by Senator Mc- Laurin of Soutb Carolina, who spoke to the toast of "The Monroe Doctrine of the Twentieth Century." The Senator's ad dress was very well received and he was frequently applauded. Senator McLaurin elucidated the Mc- Kinley doctrines to be as follows: First — That as our own manifold productions largely exceeded home consumption, the ex pansion of territory, trade and commerce was the only means of securing markets for our surplus products. Second— That as a nation with a firmly es tablished constitutional government and en larged national obligations we could no longer abstain from participation In the affairs of the world, but must take our share of the re sponsibility. Third — That while maintaining the doctrine that no government on the American continent must be interfered with or controlled by any European power, yet we must cultivate friend ly relations with them and be prepared to seek and control our share of the trade of the world. Fourth— That we should not and could not as a nation safely shrink full performance of all the responsibilities caet upon us, but must move forward to the fulfillment of our na tional destiny. The propositions embraced in this doctrine will be to the twentieth century what the Monroe doctrine was to the nineteenth. If, as a nation, we would enjoy the commercial fruits we need and desire, we must, like in dividuals, make national ventures and heroic efforts. Governor-elect Albert B. Cummins of lowa followed Senator McLaurin. He said in part: Reciprocity, In so far as It modifies or abro gates duties upon non-competitive products imported Into the United States, Is so plainly for the benefit of both the American producer and the consumers that there can be no con troversy with respect to the wisdom of giving the principle free scope in these fields. Let us hold fast to these fundamental principles. We must not surrender a home market for a foreign market of equal extent. We must not yield a cure market for an uncertain one. The consumers of this country will not tolerate, as a permanent trade policy, the selling of goods abroad at a less price than they are sold at home, and if they believe that tariff duties have any influence upon the maintenance of such conditions, the man or party that stands for the perpetuation of such duties is destined for bitter disappointment.

WASHINGTON^ Njv. 19.— Many of the manufacturing industries of the United States were represented at the National Reciprocity Convention, which began 'ts sessions here to-day. There were 200 del egates present in respanse to a call issued by the National Association of Manufac turers at a meeting in Detroit last June. The convention is representative of all sections, and its object is to give expres sion to the views of manufacturers gen erally on the subject of reciprocity; B. A. Tompkins of Charlotte, N. C, was chosen temporary chairman and Theo dore C. Search of Philadelphia permanent chairman. The organization was com pleted by the election of the following: Vice chairmen— General W. F; Draper of Massachusetts, T. *L. Hickman of Geor gia, Charles C. Harrington of Pennsylva nia, James Deering o£ Illinois, Titus S. Heard of New York City and Robert J. Morgan of Ohioj secretaries, Edward H. Sanborn of Pennsylvania and E. P. Wil son of Cincinnati; The convention adopted resolutions of greeting to President Roosevelt, pledging its support and expressing its confidence in his administration. Search in taking the chair outlined the work before the convention. He said in part: Our aim has been to forestall tariff agitation, net to encourage It. It is the duty of this con vention to harmonize as far as possible the widely differing opinions represented In tms body, and to reduce to clear and forceful ex pression such principles as we hold In common. We are here to harmonize our views, not to em phasize our differences. This Is no time or place for sentiment, for theories, or for state ments that cannot be fully substantiated by facts. I take it we are all agreed as to certain general propositions, such as these: That some of the duties embraced in our pres ent tariff are no longer needful for the existence of the industries for whose protection they are imposed. That many of our industries have reached a stage in their development where the home market alone cannot absorb their entire prod uct, and consequently new outlets' are neces sary for their continuous operation and the steady employment of their operatives. That the establishment of more cordial com mercial relations with other nations by means of an exchange of tariff concessions would en large the foreign outlets of those industries for which increased export trade Is necessary. That if such applications of the principles of commercial reciprocity could be made without Injury to any of our industries the consequent expansion of our foreign trade would be benefi cial to all our commercial and Industrial inter ests. Coffee and tea are about the only great staple articles of commerce which we do not produce, and if reciprocity be limited to the use of these two commodities as a basis for negotiations we cannot expect to make much progress. To in sist upon strict adherence to such a principle In making- application of reciprocity is virtually to oppose Its use in many practical forms. The reciprocity that is wanted to-day is a reciprocity that means something, and promises something in the shape -of tangible advantages for our commerce, not merely expressions of kind sentiment toward all the business world, but an actual giving and taking of concessions that will open wider for us the markets of the world and broaden the distribution of our prod ucts'.

V., Nov. 19.— Mayor Die hi to-day suspended City Treasurer Philip Gerst from office. In the notice of sus pension the Mayor charges Gerst with misconduct in office and with having kept Inaccurate and false accounts, and speci fically charges that from the accounts of the City Treasurer the amount of cash on hand to the credit of the city is $50,000 in excess of the actual amount. The ex amination of the Treasurer's accounts, which has been in progress for several days, will be continued. Specifically, the Mayor charges that Treasurer Gerst borrowed from banks up ward of $40,000 with which to cover up the shortages in his accounts at a time when an examination was to be maSe; that in August last he loaned the banks $8000 of the city's money and that at various times during the current year he appropriated to his own use money belonging to the city, the aggregate of such sums being $4246. After he had been served with notice of removal, Gerst said: The books of my office are undergoing an examination by an expert accountant and the result will show that every cent of the city s money is in the bank or In the office of the Treasurer at this very moment. Notwithstand ing the charges of the Mayor, the city of Buf falo will not lose a single penny through my administration of the office of City Treasurer. Mayor Diehl declined to talk on the mat ter, further than to say, in reply to a question as to whether Gerst had at tempted to explain the shortage or offered to tell what use he had made of the money he is alleged to have appropriated; I believe he has accounted for the *50,000, but so far as I know has made no effort to explain his use of the small amounts. I believe his bondsmen have arranged to make good any shortage there may be.
