\u25a0SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.
KAN JOSE, May 27.— Additional and
Convincing evidence has Just been dis
covered indicating that G. W. Laverty.
proprietor ' of the livery stable in
which the destructive fire of Saturday
morning originated, was responsible
for starting the holocaust- La vert y
"was arrested Saturday and the evidence
has since been rapidly piling up against
him. -;-v. ;
A bucket with oil soaked portions
of a laprobe in which a lighted candle
was burning was found by the firemen.
A witness has been found who saw
1-averty cutting up the laprobe on Fri
day evening.
A number of valuable horses, which
Laverty had declared were in the fire,
were today found in other stables,
where he had put them. Several bug
gies and carriages have also been
found hidden away, together with a
lot of harness. Some of these had
been bought by the liveryman on the
time payment plan and he had informed
the persons from whom he made the
purchases that they had been, burned.
It seems certain now that several thou
sand dollars' worth of property of vari
ous sorts was hidden away in vari
ous places by Laverty and that practi
cally the only property destroyed in the
stable belonged to other people.
A strange feature of the case is that
wfthin a half hour after the fire was
; started Laverty calmly went to a. hotel
; near by and \ engaged a room for the
]jnig:ht. Laverty persists in his denials
; *of his "guilt. He has not been informed
as yet of the mass of evidence that has
been gathered against him. It is the
belief of the officers that when this is
made known to him he will confess
-to the deed.
Frederick Brown, whose feed stoic
adjoined the stable and who owned the
building, this afternoon filed suit
against Laverty for the recovery of
$550 alleged to be due on a note. Brown
claims that he had a chattel mortgage
on the horses and carriages. He in
stituted the suit to annul any transfers
of the property that might have been
made by Laverty when he was prepar
ing to set tire to the stable.
Companies of firemen and "other
workers have been engaged during the
day fn the search for additional bodies.
Tfee work is .very slow.
A number of persons are unaccounted
.-for as, yet and it is thought that there
are at least two or three more bodies
in the ruins of "the lodging house and
stable.
The. second body recovered has been
identified as that of Redon, a
h-orse dealer of Reno, Nev. The per
sons known to be safe are Chester
Mason, Joseph Shorts, D. Hefferan.
James Donahue. Mr. Hollinday, Mar
tin Johnson; N. P. Bogdanovitch, wife
and two children; Thomas Freschom, J.

ARMAMENT DISCUSSION
IS FAVORED BY JAPAN
Count Okuma Talks of
Peace Conference at
The Hague
VICTORIA, B. C, May 27. — Japanese
newspapers received by the steamer
Empress of India from Yokohama con
tain an interview with Count Okuma,
one of Japan's most prominent states
men, regarding- the Hague peace con
ference in which he says:
"If Great Britain introduces an ar
mament restriction proposal for debate
Japan will support it and possibly also
the United States. It will be difficult to
speculate though on the probable atti
tude of European powers as to the
proposal. "With regard to the regula
tions of military and naval battles,
rights and duties of neutrals, regula
tion of wireless telegraphy and con
traband of war, Japan and Russia have
a claim to advance their views because
of their practical experiences. As far
as Japan is concerned the conference
affords the best opportunity of pro
moting her position In International
politics." ,
Advices were received of large ad
ditions to the Nippon Yusen Kaishi
fleet- Larger and faster steamers are
to replace some vessels in the Ameri
can service.
The Japanese government has Just
turned over to the company 1 1 large
prize steamers captured during the
war, which will be used as freighters.

OTIS SKINNER IN HIS ROLE OF THE ABBE DANIEL. A PORTRAYAL, THAT PRO
NOUNCED HIM AN ACTOR WITH RARE ATTAINMENTS LAST EVENING AT THE
VAN NESS THEATER. ,
James Crawford
If you desire to see a genuine actor
in a powerful play, visit the Van Ness
theater any evening this week. .Otis
Skinner is the. artist, and his vehicle is
entitled "The Duel." '/-.\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0
Some of us" who were there last
evening knew. Skinner in the old days,'
ere he entered stardom, but-we were
not dne ' whit' "more"; enthusiastic thaii'
those" to" whom "he" 'was'; new." For they
sat^in -the presence of a', histrion. who,
not^only- carried a olumsy 1 garb;grace
fully, but really appreciated the value
of his lines and read them' with intel
ligence and vocal charm. His acting
brought them face to face with the
very soul of the character he imper
sonated. They were carried j away on
the wings of his passion>or pathos, and
not until he set them down again could
they analyze with wonder the regions
of the terrible and the beautiful
through which they were . wafted by
the power, of his art."
As for the play, its equal in true
dramatic strength has not been pre
sented here in many seasons. Four
people really carry it, but the rapid
succession of ideas that upholds its
concrete plot makes you oblivious to
the numerical weakness of its cast. Nor
are you aware of the fact' that its force
lies mostly in its dialogue. It is talky
from beginning to end, with not one
actually intense situation to. relieve
the oral deluge. But you don't want
it relieved, so thoroughly are you in
terested by its vividness.' , Every line
Is pregnant with meaning,- and the full
meaning of every line is conveyed to
you through scholarly, reading.
While following the speeches you
forget that there' is a paucity of what
Is termed in theater parlance "action."
The big scene is an animated debate
between- two brothers, and the accom
panying "action" does, not go beyond
looks," gestures and an" occasional qpick
crossing of the stage. The debate it
self iis .. what . grips. Seemingly . un
answerable logic is logically confound
ed — and you are more confused than
convinced. y.-l^rfL
It* is. a French play by a French au
thor and, remarkable to relate,, needs
no sanitation. } It treats of 'a conflict
between two brothers, a priest and an
agnostic for the soul of a married
woman, the ecclesiastic's aim being to
save her., from ' a : threatening liaison
wuh the atheist, who, loves and is
loved by her. The four leading char
acters are the priest. (Skinner), the ag
nostic (Hitchcock), the. woman -(Miss
Keith Wakeman) and ; a missionary
abbe -(Holland). "r The; woman's husband
is a degenerate and dying, the agnostic
is his physician, and' while she. too: Is a
free thinker, she seeks v to obtain
through the confessional the moral
courage ; requisite to sustain : her. honor
\u25a0when it is beset : by her, lover's : pas-.
Eionate pleadings. That \ is -.'. how the
brothers become engaged in ~ "The
Duel." , ; ; \u25a0
When -the play was first presented in
Paris the , war between the , church and
the state was at fever heat, which may
account to some . extent for , the i re
mendous -Interest: it excited. V. despite
..he fact that It- presented ; both ; sides
of | the discussion without championing
either. . But that .circumstance does not
account for 'its success in; this {country.
By sheer; literary, and; dramatic force
and artistic interpretation . it has won
favor with American : theater/ goers." v
All four players are. cn -rapport, .with
the psychological significance of ; their
work. Only actors -of .subtle -iritelli-'
gence and sharp 'Insight' into, -J' human
promptings could make \u25a0 the' play -so; In
tensely heart stlrrtng. .. Mlss y Walwi
man's acting Is remindful of Mod jcska
when, the Polish ;. woman '• was "\ ln U her
heyday, only Miss^"Wakeman's 'reading
lnunslurred'by dialect." Holland 'has* a,
small part that his talent . makes . large.
Hitchcock, "\u25a0\u25a0 while v not '" the • - ! equal V ot
Skinner' in' any. of the' essentials, • serves
well as ' a foil,' and Is ': ever lnterestin,?.
Skinner, himself is.' : as .virile" an.' actor
as when»l saw* him play llarcf Antony
to' Lawrence ; Barrett's «,•'_ Cassius and
Louis James' Brutus.
That 'occurred quite a few years :igo,
as any 7 old. lnhabitant can *tell :^bu. *

Radically reducing
prices to meet
abnormal conditions
The present crisis has greatly retarded
" the retail trade of, the city.
The question of doing business in sufficient vol-
ume to keep the immense force of employes in ; the \u25a0
Emporium busy. now confronts us. It is our desire
to keep all "our sales force intact — and busy. To
this end ,we are willing to forego profit— we would
rather lose money in selling goods than to reduce our
V forces. Therefore prices are made irrespective of cost.
Yet compared with some ; of the extreme advertising
seen our reductions may not . appear as liberal as they
really are. This store never has or will permit any
fictitious comparisons,, any exaggerated - values, any
chicanery of inflated prices to make the markdown
appear greater. But even; reduction is backed by our
liberal money back policy. What stronger protection
can you wish?
