surroundings of the terrible crime, but
were reticent lit discussing iL Evad
ingly they explained that their object
was tp visit the scene of the
and determine to their own satisfac
tion the facts of it. They picked up
umall fragments of bones which they
may have examined to * determine if
tbey are human bones or not. But
even if the examination of the frag
ments they should have prove* the part
icles not to be haman bones, they can
not disprove the murders, for human
bones have indisputably been found in
the Kendall yard.
M. Wakao and "F. H. «Hirano both
made brief statements to The Call
correspondent.
"We merely came here to look over
the Kendall place where this-crime has
been committed," said Wakao. "I know
Yamaguchl very -well and I am sure
tha^ he did not commit v any murder. He
is too nice a character to have done
anything like that. I do not know
•where he is now, but I am cectaln he is
not a murderer. I have no opinion as
to who might havetkilled the Kendalls.
All the members of tthis party are news
papermen. None of us came from the
Japanese consul. I, never heard that
fome Japanese wanted to 'establish a
Shinto temple here. I.do'not think that
is so, but it may be."
Keep Close Together
Hirano was no more communicative
than his companion. He said he did not
know Yamaguchi. but had also hearu
that he was a "nice character." The
Japanese did not stay at 'the mountain
ranch long. They returned to Cazadero,
and while tbey would not admit that
they felt any trepidation while in the
vicinity of their countryman's alleged
crime, tl*ey kept close together and
were glad to avail themselves of the
pafe conduct guaranteed by a deputy
sheriff.
Supervisor William King, who has a
large ranch near the Kendall place,
visited the hous* today and manifested
\u25a0& great Interest in the crime. He and
Arthur Trosper dug' about in the yard
but their search was unavailing.
"The board of supervisors would
quickly offer a reward for the arrest
and conviction of Yamaguchl,. or who
ever committed this crime." said Su
pervisor- King this afternoon, "but
funds are not available for that pur
pose. We have applied to the governor
to have the state offer a reward, and
we believe that will be done at once."
Praises Kendalls
Supervisor King knew the Kendall
family well and spoke in the highest
termfe of Tom Kendall.
The searchers on the mountains
started early this morning. In the j
party were Deputy Sheriff V*'. W. Stev
enson, Newton J. Grider, Arthur Tros
per. Charles Severance 'and others.
They first went to the isolated cabin
where Yamaguchl was seen about the
time the crime was committed,.. ' Noth
ing that would throw a new light oft
the case was found tlierr*.. Then the
party sprjpad out and went down the
. perpendicular mountain side, through
the h<*avy manzanita thickets, under the
splendid oaks which are.- crowned with
glistening velvet mistletoe and about
the several, groves of tajl redwoods.
Over the searchers circled ominous buz
zards, and the trained eyes of the moun
taineers tried to locate the focal points
of the birds* spirals, but no human re
mains were found. On a stony bluff
overlooking the quiet Kendall ranch
home is a formation which carries the
grotesque semblance to a lion's head
•with wide open jaws. The searchers'
are almost ready- to believe that what
remains of the three Kendalls, Enoch,
TJra. and Thomas, were not burned by
their assassin but became food for the
great stone lion. .'.:t;.

yine'Thursday by. Newt Grider, and the
other-bones, which were brought to this
city by Coroner Frank L. Blackburn,
have not yet been passed on by experts
In anatomy. It was the intention; to
have these bones submitted to a* con
ference of physicians here on Sunday,
but with the principal officials in the
investigation absent the examinations
were deferred. Microscopical examina
tions also willbe made of a number of
articles brought over from the Star
buck ranch to ascertain if they, have
been stained by human blood. On the
examinations hinges the determination
of whether Thomas A. Kendall was
murdered. It is absolutely certain now
that the \u25a0 parents were slain In the
house on" the ranch.
REMEMBERED BY JAPANESE
The dog which Yamaguchi took with
him to Mrs. Starbuck's home in Oak
land has played a prominent part in
the case. The animal contrived to es
cape from an inclosure here during the
night and Yamaguchl was much per
turbed at the loss of the dog. His ac
tions directed the attention of all the
Japanese in the boarding 'house where
lie stopped toward hini, and for this
reason he is well .remembered by a
number of his countrymen. When the
dog was returned to Yamaguchl by the
local poundmaster the Japanese seemed
greatly pleased. He intimated to some
of. the Japanese at the boarding house
that he had been ordered by Mrs. Star
buck to return* the dog to her.
When the investigations now being
prosecuted at the, ranch have been
ended and other matters . definitely
cleared up, Coroner Blackburn will Bet

May Have Seen Slayer
[Special Correspondence of The Call]
SAN RAFAEL, Aug. 7.— E. B. McNear,
manager of the McNear brick company,
declared today that he saw a Japanese
on the Sausalito ferry boat en route to
San Francisco on the morning of July
27 the exact counterpart of a news
paper picture of Yamaguchi. He says
he glanced at. the fellow, who seemed
so anxious to avoid observation that he
became suspicious and continued to
look at him until he had fixed his fea
tures perfectly in his memory. His de
scription of the Japanese fits that of
Yamaguchi. McNear is of , the opinion
that the Japanese went from Cazadero
to Santa Rosa and caught the 6:13
morning; train from that place to Sau
salito, where he escaped to San Fran
cisco. He will notify Sheriff Taylor
tomorrow.

The Johnson party had been racing

approaching. ! Martin cut his >peed
down, but Compton, who was. following

Conspiracy Charged
MADRID, Aug. 7.— Premier Canalejas
announces his intention to expose be
fore parliament the conspiracy against
the government in the north of Spain.
The general impression here Is that the
government has won a signal . victory
in preventing "a demonstration at San
Sebastian.; • . • - . '.
;The liberal and republican newspa
pers urge the premier" to follow up his
advantage vigorously. The Universo,
a clerical organ, declares that the
course of the government betrays fear.
According to the Liberal, the govern
ment has learned that the Vatican is
awaiting the result at San Sebastian
before deciding upon the recall of Mon
sFgnor. Vico, the papal nuncio * at
Madrid. . \u25a0 . ' - ' .
Vatican Hopeful -
ROME. Aug. 7.— The feeling at the
Vatican today Is optimistic. Hope i 3
entertained that an understanding with
the Spanish soon will be
reached. It is pointed out by the Vati
can : that Premier Canalejas-must.be
grateful to the papacy for restraining
its .; followers from disorders which
might have led to civil war.
The Vatican and Cardinal Merry del
Val, the papal' secretary, personally in
structed the bishops throughout Spain
to .prevent demonstrations and disor
ders. . - • '
' : Another reason for the conciliatory
attitude. of the Vatican is found in the
fact that organizers of the proposed
demonstration are for the most part
carlists, and any movement might even
tually take -on a revolutionary and
anti-dynastic character, which the
Vatican is determined shall be abso
lutely excluded from the present situa
tion. - y

[Special 'Dispatch to The Cal[]
SAN ANSELMO, Aug. 7. —A1l the
modern methods of transportation and
communication failed to bring William
H. Leahy, manager of the Tlvolt opera
house of San Francisco, from New York
In time to reach the bedside of hU
mother at her home here before her
death early Saturday morning. His
brother, James F. Leahy, telegraphed
from San Francisco Thursday morning >
notifying the theatrical manager, who
had Just arrived in New York from
London, that his mother was dying, but
although he left immediately on th»
fastest train, death reached his aged
mother first.

CONDITIONS BAD FOR
STABLE FAMJLY LIFE
Coal Fields Retard Assimilation
of Foreigners
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.— Conditions
I In the coal fields of western Pennsyl
1 vania retard the assimilation of for
i eigners and at the same time ar* 1 not
conducive to a stable family life. Such
is the view of the immigration com
j mltteft of which Senator Dillingham of
Vermont is chairman.
The committee found more than 75
' per ;cent of the miners to be foreign
i born, many unable to write any lan
' gruage and half incapable of speaking
1 English. Generally they live In hous?3
owned by the companies and these the
owners refuse to sell.
Most of the purchases of necessaries
are made at companies' stores. Trad-
Ing at these stores is not compulsory,
but those who riiake purchases from
company store 3 are more apt to be con
tinued in employment In event of a par
tial shutdown.
