VICTORIA. B. C, July 23.— Captain
Thomas HorwaVd of this city, who was
"presumably murdered in Berkeley, Cal.,
on Saturday, was prominent in Canadian
affairs, he haying been paymaster in the
Red River expedition and provincial
Treasurer in the Clark administration,
the first government of Manitoba. He
was once a leader ln v Montreal society in
the sixties, prominent in all social events
and a universal favorite, no fashionable
affair being complete without him. He
was one of the founders of the St. James"
Club, the most exclusive in the Canadian
metropolis. He held a command in the
Victoria Rifles, Montreal's crack volun
teer regiment.
In 1869 on the outbreak of the rebellion
in the Red River settlement (now Manito
ba) the deceased Joined tne Second Que
bec Rifles and as captain and paymaster
served under Lord Wolseley on the first
Red River expedition, one of the most
famous achievements of the great mll.tary
leader. After the suppression of the re
bellion, when the~ province of Manitoba
was created. Captain Howard entered
politics and held the office of Minister of
Public Works," Provincial Secretary and
Provincial Treasurer at different times

Manitoba, under the leadership of Hon.
Henry J. Clark, the first Premier of the
province.
.; In 1875 Captain Howard retired from*
active political ] life and' embarked in
business in Winnipeg as . a. forwarder. In
which ' he was very successful for ; some
years. Early in the eighties he,; returned
to Montreal, where he carried ' on - a
brokerage business until the discovery of
gold In Yukon tempted him to try his
fortune 'at Dawson. In the Far North he
acquired j some valuable hydraulic ground
and It was for the purpose of disposing of
some ! of his , interests or ¦ securing ; capital
to develop them that he took the trip to
San Francisco, which has had such a
pitiful and tragic ending.

locomotive. Fanned by a stiff south wind
the flames threatened to destroy the
buildings of the resort, but hard work
on the part of volunteer firemen pre
vented pecuniary loss. Burning logs roll

Mr. Kelly then showed the correspond
ent nine other checks for sums aggregat
ing $2250, which he said he sent Lee be
tween November 21, 1901, and December
14.1902.- \v3 "•;•:¦ ¦
This Kelly refused to do.
"Now," said Kelly, "if I attempted to
bribe Lee In that instance, why didn't he
mention all the checks of a similar nature
that I had sent to him?"
"I don't consider," replied Kelly,' "that
you have done anything for me, but I
guess I can let you have a thousand.".
When Kelly reached St. Louis a week
later he handed the $1000 check to Rob
ert E. Lee at the Planters' Hotel.
March 31, -1903, Kelly received the fol
lowing written note from John A. Lee:
"Paper you gave Bob cannot be used at
present; I will have it returned and you
can send New York exchange payable to
Mrs. Lee."
March 26, 1S03, Lee went to the office of
the- American Queen, the organ of the
National Health Society, In New York
and, according to Kelly, Lee said: --j
"You know, Kelly, you promised me
some money and I think I ought to_ have
It."
Lee declared to Attorney General Crow
that he understood this was bribe money,
but that he refused to accept It. Lee
held the check for two weeks before
turning it over to the authorities. }S::'i
Kelly says that from the. time the 1903
legislative session opened Lee begged him
by wire and letter to let him have some
money. He was sorry for Lee's distress,
but he thought he had given him enough
during the preceding two years and was
tired oS supplying his financial wants.
D. J. Kelly gave to the Post- Dispatch
to-day for the first time his story of the
$1000 check dated March 27, which was
handed to Robert Lee for his brother,
John A. Lee, formerly Lieutenant Gov
ernor, ¦ and upon which the two indict
ments charging Kelly with attempted
bribery are based. r * 1*

PERSONAL MENTION.
Dr. Foute was called to Grace parish in
ISS* and remained tbeTe continuously un
til the time of his death. Through his in
fluence the establishment of the Armltage
And Maria' Kip orphanages and St. Luke's
Hospital was accomplished. His persist
ent work raised his parish to the first
place In the diooese.-
During the general convention of the
Episcopal church In this city last year
Dr. Foute's name was prominently men
tioned for the Bishopric of Hawaii, but
he expressed his desire to remain a priest
yith his parish and the honor was conse
quently given to another. . %-^x
Dr. Foute is survived by a widow, a son
and a daughter. The funeral services will
be held at Grace Church to-morrow at 2
p. m. The interment will be at ~ Cypress
Lawn Cemetery. Bishop Nichols will con
duct the services. . ¦- ""*,»•/.,
THE Rev. R. C. Foute, rector of
Grace Episcopal Church and one
of the most prominent Hgures In
this Episcopal diocese, passed
away peacefully shortly before 10
o'clock yesterday morning at his home on
California street. Paralysis was the cause
of death. Dr. Foute was stricken with
the disease some weeks ago, and the doc
tors abandoned hope from the outset.
The death of the well-known clergyman
Ti-as peaceful and was not marked by
pain or suffering. After his affliction he
became semi-conscious and remained so
to the last. He was surrounded by the
members of his family when the last sum
mons came.*
Rev. R. C. Foute was of Southern birth.
His parents were wealthy land owners in
Georgia and as a youth Foute was given
every advantage of education.
When the Civil "War broke . out the
young man instantly linked his fortunes
vrith the Southern cause and became a
petty, officer in the Confederate navy-
After a. thrilling chapter of adventures on
Southern privateers Koute became s, mem
ber of the crew of the ram Mer
rimac and participated in the famous sea
fight between the Federal monitor and
the Merrimac
After the war had come to a close with
the surrender of I_%e at Appomattoz Foute
was one of the persistent guerrilla band
who essayed to prolong the struggle In
the far South. To escape capture by the
Northern troops he crossed the gulf to
Mexico In an open boat and there re
mained until affairs had quietedr
Once more a man of peace, Foute turned
his eyes toward the ministry and was or
dained a - priest I in the Episcopalian
church. <j ¦
Between August .1. 1902. and July 1, 1003,
I have laken 209 written applications for work.
In addition to this I have had at least 200
applicants from whom , I , have taken no writ
ten applications. These applications cover
every, occupation" in which I employ men. I
have had fourteen applications for grip re
pairers by men. who had some exoerlence in
this - line. I . have only thirteen grip repairers
employed at the present time. - In addition -to
this I have had a :. great many applications
for grip repairers by men who have been help
ers In blacksmith shops and • machine . shops.
This class of- men are very, desirable for grip
repairers. As for laborers, not a day passes
but what I have at least two or - three ap
plications -: of that-kind for .work. • I -.-have* not
had any. trouble in getting any kind of help
since . I . have been In - San Francisco. .When
ever a . man left ¦¦ there have : been from three
to ten men applying for the position.
The case will be resumed at 10 o'clock
this morning. \
Directly over the motor-man's head and
within his Immediate reach is located what
is known as the "circuit breaker." When
the motorman . throws on too much power the
circuit breaker blows open. When this hap
pens he - simply reaches up and pushes the
switch handle back to its original position,
making the circuit ! thereby. Other cars not
equipped with circuit breakers are equipped
with fuses made of soft copper or lead wire.
When the motorman turns-on too much power
this wire melts and so protects the* machinery
on the car. Replacing .this fuse merely con
sists in loosening • the thumb screws, placing
a new fuse thereunder and screwing the same
up tight. If any extraordinary i accident hap
pens to a car the motorman Is not* expected to
make any repairs, . but his car. is - trailed or
pushed Into the carhouse, where a new. car
is given ' to the ~ crew and the : damaged car
Is placed in the : hands -. of the car repairers
under my charse. . '..
HOW TO RUN" CAR.
The duties of the laborers are about Identical
with: that of a section hand on a steam rail
road. The work of grip repairers and truck
repairers Is not laborious or continuous, for
they have during working hours considerable
leisure. The brakes on the cars of the United
Railroads are In first-class condition.'- * In ad
dition to the regular wheel brake most of
the cars are fitted with a track j brake. Both
are operated by a lever. " The lever brake,
the operation of which Is by n* means labor
ious, stops a car quicker . than an ordinary
ratchet brake, which is generally In use In
other cities. The cars are now maintained in
better condition- than heretofore.. We have
more men employed now taking care of brakes
on the same number of . cars than we had a
year ago.' Motormen are not required to study
electricity or make any repairs to broken
down cars. >
Any man of ordimary Intelligence can fill any
of the above-named occupations with from one
to four weeks' experience; the laborers need
no previous experience. Grip and truck re
pairers when first employed are paid at the
rate of 22 J /4 cents per hour and are Increased In
pay as they grow proficient in their duties; the
greater portion of the men employed have abso
lutely no experience when employed. . The work
is neither hard nor laborious and our climatic
conditions are such that the men are not ex
posed to extreme heat or extreme cold; practi
cally no time need be lost throughout the entire
year on account of climatic conditions. The
employment Itself is stead", with no layoffs for
a dull season. A large* portion of this work Is
done under roof; there is no danger connected
with the work and in a majority of the cases
the work is performed in the day time. .
The men in my department affected by the
demands of the Carmen's Union are but few in
number, to wit, 33, and consist of 6 truck re
pairers, 13 grip repairers, 7 laborers ' and 7
men engaged in assembling special track work,
which are by this company termed "track
men." <
Laborers In the employ of my department
number seven and receive $2 a day. Laborers
In Los Angeles receive $1 75 a day, and in San
Jose they receive $1 75 a day; in Seattle, $2
a day. Grip and car (truck) repairers get time
and a half for overtime: laborers also receive
time and a half for overtime. Free transporta
tion to and from work is also granted to all our
employes; this amounts to from $2 50 to $3 per
month.
Special Dispatch to The Call. -
PALO ALTO. July 23.— Palo Alto's
new Christian church is now
nearly completed. It was de
signed by Architect R. H. Walk
er and Is the first church of this
model to be built' anywhere. The church
is a long, one-story brick structure, very
pretty' in appearance and designed to
have just a suggestion of the old Califor
nia mission architecture. It. will now. ac
commodate 300 people comfortably, but
with a view to later needs for more space
the walls have been constructed very
thick and the roof made fb rest on them
without fastening." Later -the roof can be
removed and one or two stories. added. A
tower can bo" raised from the front bal
cony. Outside the clinker brick and stock
brick and the black 'and white mortar
give a decorative appearance, while inside
the great beams are finished in Flemish
green.
The dedication of the new church, which
is the seventh to be erected here, will oc
cur within -dk'o weeks. The pastor Is th'e
Rev. D. M/Crabtree.
shoeing and general wagon work; from 18 to 19
years of age I worked in stores, on farms and
in blacksmith shops; from 19 to 23 years of
'age I attended Lafayette College, Eastern
Pennsylvania:' graduated as an electrical en
gineer In 1898. * During the summer vacations
of this latter period 1 1 worked as helper. In the
blacksmith shop and machine shops, also on
farms, waited on. tables. At the age of ' 23
years I entered street railway service of the
North 'Jersey Street Railway, Newark, New
Jersey, as motor and truck repairer, oiler, etc.;
and worked up 'gradually through successive
stages as wlrcnmn, controller 7 man, armature
winder, electrician, and chief clerk of th« mas
ter mechanic's office; then assistant master
mechanic of the North Jersey Street Railway;
on September 10, 1901, I was appointed master
mechanic of the - Jersey (flty. Hoboken 'and
Pa.terson Street Railway Company; on January
1, 1902, I was appointed- master mechanic of
the North Jersey Street Railway, and on August
1, 1902. was appointed to my present position
as master mechanic of the United Railroads °of
San Francisco. - ¦....-.-
PAY MORE THAN ELSEWHERE.
1 am 28 years of 'Age .and have .open t a
greater part of my life since leaving school In
mechanical work.- From 14 to IS years of ago
I clerked -In a country store,' attended the nor
mal school at Mansfield,"- Pennsylvania,' for two
years- of that time preparing for college, : work
ing during vacation at blacksmlthlng, horse-"
F. F.Broder, master mechanic of the
United Railroads, was next called. He is
but 28 years of age and told' how he had
educated himself, worked on; farms and
"even waited 'on table to ' get -a practical
engineering course- at college. ' He' was
on the stand the balance of the day and
gave his testimony in a straightforward
manner. "Livernash attempted to get him
,to admit that, the seven , laborers *under
his jurisdiction needed a' certain amount
of skill to perform their duties, but Bro
der^stated positively a dozen times that
there wan always a foreman or an-as
sistant watching " the ; men while they
worked" in the company's yard. Broder's
testimony In part follows :
I am master mechanic of the United Rail
roads of San Francisco; as such officer, I have
under my charge and supervision: (1) All re
pairs on rolling titock; (2) preparing plan, and
specifications for new rolling stock: (3) repairs
on all buildings belonging to the company; (4)
shop work in the construction of special track
work: (5) repair work- on enarlne, boiler and
electrical equipment power . houses; : (6) ma
chine sliops; (7) electrical repair shops; and (8)
I hire and discharge aU men connected with
these several departments.. ¦ ¦
EDUCATED HIMSELF.
In the East it is necessary for platform' men
to provide themselves with winter and sum
mer suits, with rubber storm boots, coat cap,
Kloves and mufflers and heavier underwear.
The company here and now agrees that If Its
employes will purchase their uniforms at one
establishment to be named by it It will under
take to furnish proper uniforms made accord
ing to the specifications just referred to for $16
each or less — coat, vest and trousers t
I
. Ther« Is an. adequate supply of men, in fact
we have more applicants than we can accom
modate. . ¦
The climatic conditions prevailing / in ' San
Francisco* are peculiarly advantageous to the
carmen. Tracks' blocked by snow and ice are
unknown; .blizzards, as they are known in the
Edit, never occur. The city is exceptionally
healthy and neither extreme heat nor cold pre
vail. > The streets along which cars are oper
ated are wide and offer exceptional advantages
for operation.
Employment on the qars is steady. A car
man having a regular run- may work every
day In the year if he chooses and may figure
upon a fixed income and regulate his living
expenses accordingly. There [ are no "lay
offs" or Idle days for lack of work.
Platform men are by the company granted
free transportation over the division upon
which they are employed whether In uniform
or other clothes upon presentation of their
badges, and when in full uniform are granted
free transportation over all' the lines within
the city limits. These concessions enable the
thrifty, carman to live In the outlying districts
If he chooses to do so.
I have also considered it highly important
that we should have the best possible sched
ules for the men so as to enable them to make
the maximum rate of wages within the • best
hcurs possible, and for this reason I have
given the matter of timetables a great deal
of personal attention. The foregoing compari
son between the dally pay earned on the old
timetables and the new will bear, out the state
ment that our changes have been in the direc
tion of bettering the condition of the men and
increasing their earnings. It is a physical Im
possibility to make satisfactory timetables to
enable all men to earn the same sum. If you
make a flat scale of a given amount per diem
the short runs are overpaid — and short runs
are unavoidable. ¦ . . ¦. • .- ¦••--.¦¦
Taking hours, wages and climatic condi
tions "into consideration I do not know of any
place superior to San Francisco for- carmen's
work. As will be witnessed by the schedule
Introduced here as United Railroads' exhibit
No. 8 that exhibit shows that under the old
timetables no platform man was earning as
high as $2 75 per day. We now have twenty
eight runs that' pay-, fifty-six men $2 75 per
day. ' Under the old timetable but eleven runs
paid $2 70 per day; we have seventy-six such
runs. Involving 152 men. Under the old time
tables but two runs paid $2 G5 per day; we
have 103 such runs and therefore 200 men
drawing that pay. Under the old timetables
but three runs paid but $2 60 per day; we have
114 such runs and 228 men drawing such pay.
Under the old timetables but' twenty-five runs
paid $2 55 per day; we have 142 such runs
and 284 men drawing such pay. Under the
old timetables but fifty-eight runs paid $2 50
per day;" we have sixty-four such runs, which
Involve 12& men. Under the old timetables
there were sixty-two runs paying between $2
and $2 50 per day; we have reduced the num
ber to 23 runs. • *
EABN GOOD WAGES.
In all the years of my railroad experience,
about eighteen in- number, I do not know of
any place where the conditions are so favor
able'for men to work on the cars, or where
the same i>ain* have - been taken- to 'give the
men the best timetables possible. I ' have
given this matter close personal attention so
as to - give to each man the highest possible
earnings.
The three chief requisites of a platform man
are carefulness, politeness and honesty, and if
I were called upon to add another qualifica
tion I would repeat "carefulness."
The 'knowledge necessary to start, run and
stop a car Is easily grasped. A man of aver
age intelligence and proper. ,, character will
make an acceptable platform man.
„• The foregoing applies equally to conductors,
more particularly the three essential require
ments, carefulness, politeness and honesty. <
The work required of a platform man is in
no sense skilled labor. The actual knowledge
necessary to operate an electric car may be
acquired In from one to three days' Instruc
tion, j
When a new table is posted the man oldest
In the service has the first choice and so on
down the list.
The United "Railroads of San Francisco has
in its employ 1835 motormen. conductors, grip
men and drivers known as platform mem
They are paid 25" cents per hour and 30 cents
per hour overtime. Overtime under, the pres
ent agreement is time , worked in excess of
eleven hours. On the 26th day of April. 1802,
the United Railroads entered into an agree
ment with its men that all regular runs shall
not exceed ten hours of actual work, the same
to be performed within fourteen hours. It was
found that in practical operation these hours
were unsatisfactory to the men, whereupon at
the request of the employes the company
amended the agreement and changed the hours
so as not to exceed eleven hours' actual work
to be performed . within ' fifteen hours. The
present carmen's demands call for a maxi
mum of nine hours' actual work (a decrease
of 18 2-11 per c-nt) to be performed. 60 per
cent within 10% hours and 35 per cent within
14 hours at $3 per day (an increase as to pay
33 1-3 per cent), overtime — that is time worked
over nine hours — to be paid for at the rate of
45 cents per hour (an Increase of 50 per cent).
Platform men who may be entitled to regular
runs are permitted to pick their runs from
the timetable in the order of their seniority,
and they retain the runs so selected so long
as that table is In effect.
Liivertiash desired time to analyze Chap
man's statement before taking it up. The
statement was in. part as follows: .
]'. Manager Chapman was placed on the
Ftand, but he read his evidence as before
and it was made a part of the record.
The chief feature of the proceedings
was the evidence of Manager Chapman
and that of David Young, who represents
Brown Bros, of New York. Young gave
,tome pretty direct testimony on .Wednes
day—some of it to the effect that he be
lieved in running cars in strike times with
policemen "as protectors. This testimony
appeared to surfeit LJvernash, who soon
propped the witness. *

tration proceedings concerning the differ

I last saw him at 4 o'clock on th» afternoon
of July 11. He had with him at that time
between $175 and $200. which I had advanced
to him. In coin, and he told me he had pur
chased his ticket for Victoria and was going
to leave that night by the Oregon express, at
8 o'clock. ' We shook hands and. he appeared in
fine spirits, and said he was going to the
Southern Pacific office to secure his berth
That was the last I saw of him, as I went out
of town that same evening. He had Interests
in Alaska, and I was contemplating joining
him In. some of his business ventures there.
He was happily married and devoted to his
family.
Knowing nothing to th« contrary I -replied
to tlie message: "He lelt for the north some
time ngro." You can see how surprised I
must be to learn of the present situation of
affairs.
When I returned home to-night from the
south I found the following telegram awaiting
me: "Reported mishap. Is Captain Howard
well and safe?" Signed, Mrs. Howard Dal
las Hotel, Victoria.
Treanor tells the following story of his
knowledge of Captain Howard's move
ments:
According to Treanor's story Captain
Howard was in the city trying to dispose
of some mining claims in the Klondike.
He seemed short of money, and just be
fore leaving for his trip on the 11th
Treanor advanced him $175. At the time
Captain Howard told Treanor that he had
a ticket for Victoria and would shortly
leave for that place. ¦ " %
J. B. Treanor, an insurance adjuster,
having an office at 501 Montgomery street,
was a chance acquaintance of the dead
man. He returned to the city last night
after an absence since July 11, and when
notified of the supposed murder In West
Berkeley and the identification from Van
couver confirmed the report that the body
in the Berkeley Morgue is that of Cap
tain Howard.
It has been, discovered that Captain
Howard was a 'guest at the Russ House
from. May 23 up to July 11, when he sud
denly dropped from sight, leaving, behind
him all his baggage and. an unpaid hotel
bill of $80. No importance was attached
to his disappearance since he had often
said. that he had to look aiter-«ome.Berke
ley property in the interest of a friend
in Canada and it was thought .that . he
was staying with friends across the bay.
When shown the intelligence from Vic
toria last night Head Clerk Powell of
the Russ House positively confirmed the
identification. He . confessed that he had
failed to associate Captain Howard with
the stories that have appeared in the
local fbapers about the unidentified dead
man in West Berkeley. ¦
Charles Newman, the proprietor, tells
a story of Howard's allegations of unfair
dealing . on the part of some unknown
party in this city which may throw some
light on the mysterious end of the man.
He said last night:
Captain Howard was an exceedingly fine
gentleman. ¦ He played a good ! game of 'bil
liards and we all liked him. [ He was always
very dignified, courteous and polite. He stated
he had a big deal on with parties having of
fices in the Mills building and he went there
every day to see them. He would often say
to me. "Those scoundrels, over there in tha
Mills bulldinir are trying to do me up, but
they won't do it. I have a fair proposition in
hand and they know it and they are trying
to get the best of me. but 'I know my rights
and I am going to have them."
The identification ls«complete and the
body ¦ thau was found behind Brennan's
barn, West Berkeley, last Saturday morn
ing, the skull fractured and pierced by
bullets, accounts for the disappearance of
the Victoria captain. Back of the dis
covery, 'perhaps, is the story of a crime.
This .is the theory of the police.
The Victoria authorities base their
claim of identification upon significance
of the few effects of the dead man which
could be used as evidence. Upon the body
was 'found a ring having as a crest a lion
holding an arrow. This, it seems, is the
Howard crest, and} advices from the
north say that Mrs. 4 Howard and her
daughter, are wearing the same seal in
their rings.
The laundry marks upon the linen of the
dead man, consisting of the initial "H."
and the . number 2326, have been proved
to be his initial and mark of the Victoria
Steam Laundry Company, which was as
signed to his linen when it was taken into
their establishment. A hotel clerk of the
Vernon and Dallas hotels of that city by
the name of Cave has told the Vancouver
authorities that; the foldlng'steel footrule
found on the body of the man in "West
Berkeley is^ undoubtedly the same one
that he had seen him. use many times.
According to Victoria advices, the
costume worn by Captain Howard was
similar in every detail to that described
by the newspapers of this city as having
been. worn by the victim of the thugs in
.West Berkeley, and there are still further
circumstances that tend to confirm the
identity of the deceased as Captain How
ard. On part of his under-clothing was
found the name of R. J. Tooke & Co., the
well-known Montreal haberdashers.. It is
said that when Captain Howard went
from Victoria to seek to dispose of his in
terests in hydraulic ground in the Yukon
it was to Montreal that he went, where
he was well and favorably known. It is
probable that he purchased the garments
in question when visiting the Eastern
Canadian city. It is stated that he wore
russet gloves, and in this connection those
who knew the dead man say that Captain
Howard almost invariably wore russet
gloves.
Berkeley's mysterious dead man was
Captain Thomas \ Howard of Victoria,
B. C. -This fact became known beyond
question last night ..through advices re
ceived from the police of Vancouver by
local police. •

Hard to Duplicate It In San Fran-

Scores of representative citizens of San
Francisco are testifying on the following
subject. Such a- record of local indorse-
ment is unequaled in modern times. This
public statement made by a citizen is but
one of the many that have preceded it
and the hundreds that will follow. Read
F. M. Tucker, dairy farmer, of 737 How-
ard street, says: "Trouble with the kid-
ney secretions to me was a fruitful source
of annoyance. Sometimes continence or
stoppage was very marked; sometimes the
action was too often and the quantity too
profuse. In addition 'to this I had back-
ache every now and then. v . Matters had
gone on like this for some years, and al-
though I constantly tried to get rid of the
cause I was unsuccessful until I used
Doan's Kidney Pills. What I saw in an
advertisement which induced me to- take
a 1 course of the treatment was true, for
the pills acted exactly, the same in my
case and a cure was the result."
