LATEST SUSPECT IS

[Special Dispatch to The Call]
SANTA ROSA, Aug. 10.— District
Attorney Clarence F. Lea re
ceived an anonymous letter to
day. posted at San Francisco, which
contained valuable information con
cerning the Kendall murder case, if
the statements made therein are true.
The v-riter, who pave reasons for not
making his name known at this time,
suggested to the district attorney, if
he saw mention of the anonymous
letter in the columns of The Call, he
will reveal his identity to the official,
verify the matter contained in the
letter and give additional details.
District Attorney Lea refused to
discuss the matters contained in the
letter, saying that the contents are too
serious to make public, as charges
against certain prominent people are
made. If the writer has such infor
mation as he professes to possess, the
district attorney is anxious to have
an Interview with him at once, and will
not use any information received from
the individual without his consent.
Search Continued
Sheriff Jack Smith Ip continuing tbft
eearch of the vicinity of the StarbucL
ra:.ch near Caiadcro for additional evi
dence of the atrocious crime. He has
four trained mountaineers on horse
back going - over the entire country.
They are headed by Deputy Sheriff Er
nest Trosper of Cazadero and Arthur
Trosper of Camp Meeker.
Deputy Sheriff W. L. Ruddock of
I^ake county arrested a suspect at Up
per Lake on "Wednesday and telephoned
his description to Sheriff Smith here.
The sifspect is considerably thinner
than the published picture of Yama
guchi. is 26 years of age, weighs about
116 pounds and is 5 feet 2% inches
in height.
The prisoner said he had recently
left service on the United States bat
tleship Virginia at Vallejo. He gave
his name as Yeagaro Yamachicha and
said he had arrived here on Friday.
• The statement was later proved un
true, for officials at Vallejo declared
that no Japanese had left any vessels
Jri the harbor there within the time
jspecified by the Japanese.
Sheriff Jack Smith has forwarded
pictures of Yamaguchi to Lake county
officials.
Teeth Identified
The positive identification of the
teeth of Thomas A.. Kendall by the
Oakland dentist. Dr. C. D. Goodwin, is
a great satisfaction to the prosecut- v
ing officials of this county. They have
felt confident -all along that they had
established beyond doubt the deith j
.of all three of the Kendall family, but
there were some who had asserted their
bejief that Thomas Kendall might pos
feibly still be alive. p.*^|
" Two physicians of this city, Dr. S.
S. Boyle and Dr. J. W. Jesse, positively
declared the bones submitted to them
came from three persons.
Oakland detectives have paid that the
local officers should first prove Thomas
KendsrtL/dead and eliminate him as a
possible murderer. Some persons have
suggested that he killed his parents
and fled, but witnesses declare the af
fection displayed between son^and par
ents precluded such a possibility.
YOUNG KENDALL'S
DEA TH ESTABLISHED
OAKLAND, Aug. 3 0. — Dr. Charles D.
Goodman, dentist, established definitely
the death of Tom Kendall today by
identifying the jawbone found on the
Starbuck ranch. He had made fillings
in young Kendall's teeth, and when
lie saw the charred molars this morning
he declared without hesitation that he
was the dentist who fixed the "teeth,
and that the jaw was that of the mur
dered youth.
This makes it possible for a charge
of murder to be brought against Man
jiro Yamaguchi, the missing Japanese.
He could be tried for the murder of
Tom Kendall, but until better proof
of the death of the parents Is obtained
from the grewsome relics at the ranch.
Yamaguchi would not be legally liable
for the murder of the entire family.
Captain of Detectives Petersen said:
"The authorities \u25a0wow have evidence
on which they could go before a grand
jury and get an indictment nf . Yama-

Attack on Gaynor
Will Put Him in
Presidential Race
IRA E. BENNETT
{Special Dispatch to The Call]
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. — That^
the attack on Mayor Gaynor will
result In his nomination for the
presidency is the opinion of .well
Informed democrats at the capital.
"Democrat!* all over the coun
try/ said a democratic senator
today, "realize how citrons a place
Cujnor • lin.H in the mtnils of the
people If he recovers he un
doubtedly Trill be the democratic
candidate. He is the man who
will weld all factions. He will be'
ftnpported by William JenningK
Bryan."
Even the "republicans admit
that Gaynor would be the strong
est man the democrats could
nominate. They believe that he
will be forced to run for gov
ernor, but whether he does or
not makes no difference.
The republicans who are in
Washington, including several
regulars, none of whom, how
ever, is willing to be quoted, de
clare flatly that Theodore Roose
velt- is the only man who could
beat Gaynor.
"If Gaynor is the candidate,"
they say, "the republican conven
tion will nominate Roosevelt as
the only chance of beating Gay
nor." The republican convention
will not be" cut and dried. Cum
mins, Dolliver, Beveridge and pos
sibly Lafollette will be candidates
in addition to William H. Taft,
and there is not the slightest
doubt that, whether Roosevelt
consents or not, the convention
will be swept off its feet when
his name is mentioned, as it
surely will be.
BABY FARMS NEED
STRICTER LAWS
M. J. White Says Present Reg=
ulations in Alameda County
Are Not Sufficient
ALAMEDA, Aug. 10. — Secretary M. J.
White of the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Children, who is a resi
dent of -this city, is working with mem
bers of the society, county officials and
officials in the cities .on the cast side of
the bay for the enacting, of ordinances
regulating "baby" farms," adoption bu
reaus and maternity homes«of a certain
class. - . . , ;
Secretary White has suggested that
laws be adopted in Alameda county
similar to the ones in effect in San
Francisco for the regulation of. the in
stitutions mentioned. The San Fran
cisco laws are patterned after laws in
New York. Secretary White and his
agents have maintained a close watch
on the conduct of "baby farms," adop
tion bureaus and maternity homes in
Alameda county, and .they have on nu
merous occasions taken the managers
of the same -to task for the manner in
which the places were conducted. One
of the "baby farms" that Secretary
White and his agents have visited and
criticised is conducted by Mrs. J. C.
Crouch at 4200 Allendale avenue, Oak
land, which Is known as- the "Crouch
Infant Shelter." This institution often
harbors from 10 to 20 infants, and it is
said that the mites of humanity exist
amid surroundings that are insanitary.
Concerning the work of the society in
the east bay cities and in Alameda
county Secretary White Maid:
"Alameda county and the cities on
the east side of the bay are without
ordinances that properly regulate 'baby
farms,' adoption bureaus and maternity
homes of a certain class. In San Fran
cisco county laws are in effect that en
able the society to maintain supervision
over the institutions in question. In
my opinion, there should be a law regu
lating the so called 'baby farms' and
another vregulating the maternity
homes. I have outlined my ideas of
these measures to members of the so
ciety in Alameda county and in time
look to see such ordinances adopted."

[Special Dispatch to The Call]
JUNEAU, Alaska, Aug. 10. — Judge
James Wickersham, Independent re
publican, was elected to succeed him-,
self as delegate to congress yesterday
over Ed S. Orr, organization repub
lican, by a plurality variously estimat
ed at from 1,500 to 2,000.
Orr, who had the support of National
Committeeman L. P. Shackelforid, ap
pears to have led only in the territory
about Cordova, where it was conceded
that he was strongest. .'
O'Connor, the labor candidate, polled
a light vote. He was strongest in the
Tanana district, where ho led Orr. .by
nearly 150 votes, but fell far behind
Wickersham. • •
Wickersham's followers charged Orr
with being a Guggenheim man, while
the organization men retaliated by
charging that Wickcrsham had once

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.— Mayor Will-
Ham J. Gaynor of New, York lies
in St. Mary's hospital tonight
with the segments of a split bullet,
fired yesterday by James J. Gallagher,
who sought to- assassinate^ him;, still
buried in. his neck and /mouth,' but he
has shown not one alarming* symptom*
. It is beyond human power to,':' say
whether he will recover, for not.-even
the most renowned specialist can' say.
whether blood poisoning will . be the
TTftermath, but as yet the mayor's tem
perature has [given no cause for alarml
Every indication is that the wound is
.healing satisfactorily. .
Optimistic Bulletins
Bulletins issued today and "tonight
did not vary in their tone of optimism
and so cheerful was the patient*" and so
hopeful his attendants, that /Mrs. Gay
nor, after an almost sleepless vigil at
the bedside, left the mayor's side late
this afternoon for a 40 minute auto
mobile spin. Quartered in a larger and
better lighted.. room in the hospital,
the mayor chats pleasantly with 'those
who are allowed to see hinvandcon
fidently predicts that .'he will be. out in
a few days.
Does Not Discuss Shooting
.As yet he has not discussed s in any.
way the tragedy of yesterday, nor is
he even aware of the identity of the
assassin. Although familiar with Gal
lagher's annoying letters, and his'per
sis^ent' attempt to obtain reinstate
ment as a New York night watchman,
in the dock department. Mayor Gaynor
does not know that it was he 'who
fired the shot. . V .
Aside from deploring that he should
be fired upon for doing his duty, he
has in no way his assailant,
and maintains a marked aversion to
discussing the Incident.
Temperature Not Alarming V
The mayor's^ highest temperature
during the day was 100 3-5. yAs blood
poisoning invariably indicates its be
ginning: and spread by arise in the
patient's temperature, Mhe nearly nor
mal standard . inaintaine'd today 'was
one of the most cheering signs to his
physicians. The mayor's appetite is
good, although his diet, is* limited to
brothssand liquid foods. He has shown
great stamina of body and mind, and
as far as those who . conversed - : with'
him caiT learn, he is not "worrying over
the outcome. , ; .*\u25a0''<*"• *
His brother, Thomas -K- Gaynor, who
rushed here from Ohio on the receipt
of the news of the shooting, was al
lowed to ', spend only 20. minutes in the
sickroom. The . mayor's only other
visitors during the day, aside from his
physicians, were Mrs. 1 - Gaynor, who was
with him almost constantly; John Pur

\u25a0 An investigation started- by Withers'

by their attorneys,/ John \\\ Sullivan

important clews \u25a0 in' the hands of the
sheriff, the most significant being that
he had. deadly . encniics; in the rough
cow . country back of Mount Hamilton,
and 1 , that much of .his, stock .is. missing.
