tective C. J. Stillwell of this city to make an Investigation. After weeks of patient search Mr. Stillwell found the Irving woman, and she repeated to him the story of her guilt.

In addition to that she made an affidavit covering the facts of the case. Stillwell also secured affidavits from people to whom she told the story. The bartender of the saloon where she changed the $10 piece also remembered the circumstances. Armed with these affidavits, Stillwell presented the matter to Assistant District Attorney Black, who prosecuted the men. Black, convinced of the Innocence of the men, signed a petition asking for the pardon of Hutchinson.

The jurors who convicted him added their signatures to the document. Governor Budd notified Detective Stillwell Thursday night that he would grant the pardon of Hutchinson. Hutchinson says that he was drunk at the time he stole the canary bird, and that he took It In a spirit of fun. I'-ar' l'4y: XSim A COLORED DISCIPLE OF SUSAN B. ANTHONY.

Mrs. Naomi Anderson, the colored orator, has been engaged by the State Suffrsgo Association to lecture throughout California and work among her own people In the cause of equal rights. She Is a resident of Sacramento and came down to this city yesterday to arrange the outline of her work. During the morning she was busy with Miss Hay, the manager of the suffrsgo campaign, at the headquarters in the Parrott Building. It was decided that Mrs.

Anderson should spend one week in this city, working up interest In the suffrage ci.use among her own people. The first meeting will be held on Monday evening In the Third Baptist Church, on Powell street. On the evenings of the 23th and 30th Mrs. Anderson will speak in the Zion Methodist Episcopal Church, on Stockton Btreet. On the evening of the 31st sho will appear again at the Third Baptist Church.

During the week afternoon meetings will be held In the different African churches. Next week Mrs. Anderson will go to Oakland and speak for the colored people In their various churches. At the conclusion of the series of lectures across the bay the colored orator will go to Los Angeles to attend the African League meeting, and will stay In that city about ten days. From there she goes Into the Interior, and at every town, village and hamlet where there are colored settlers she will hold meetings and try to convert her people to the doctrine of woman suffrage.

Mrs. Anderson was the first colored woman to advocate the cause of women's rights, She spoke at the first women's rights convention in the West. This was In the early part of in Library Hall, Chicago. Since that time she has worked faithfully for suffrage, and one time made herself very unpopular with her own people by Indorsing and supporting the movement. The colored men resented her espousal of the cause of women's rights before they were given the rights of American citizens.

Mrs. Anderson was a prominent figure In the Kansas campaign two years ago. She devoted six months to stumping the State, and secured the colored vote for the suffrage, cause. During the campaign ot 1B80 she worked for suffrage in Ohio. She has started innumerable undertakings for the rare of colored children and the education of colored girls.

Including the well-known colored orphan asylum at Wichita, Kan. Through her efforts the wximan's auxiliary to the (1. A. R. In Kansas was organized.

Mrs. Anderson was born In Michigan City, and was educated In the public schools of that State. Although she Is an eloquent speaker, she has never studied elocution or received any training to flt her for the platform. dreadfully soiled and the bulldogs fright EF.L The Republican Leader Favors the Congressman's Re-nomination. Assistance Rendered the Oceanic Line by a Government Mailing Contract DINKELSPIEL NAMED FOR CONGRESS.

'he Ex Assemblyman Is Anxious to Try Conclusions With James G. Maguira in the Founh District. It is generally conceded by politicians that Eugene F. Loud Is going to make a hard fight for the Congressional nomination in the Fifth District. Mr.

Loud has served three termB in Congress, and has attained the distinction of a Chairmanship that of the Committee on Postal Affairs. It has been said that the Southern Paclfl.t favors his renomlnation. Mr. Loud was so busy locating postoftices In back counties during the last session of Congress that he said he had no time to devote to the flgh! against the Refunding bill. He was there fore unable to render assistance to Con gressman Magulre.

Loud, however, did se cure several small postofflces for this State, and thereby filled his soul with the sense of a high ditty well performed. Whether or not he be a statesman of renown, there Is no doubt that Loud Is a politician of De mean ability. The best exemplification of this fact is shown In the support that ho is given both by the railroad and by John D. Spreckeis. Attached to the friendship of Spreckeis for Loud there hangs a tale.

As far back as four years ago the Oceanic Steamship Company, a Spreckeis corporation, commenced to lose money on account of the active competition of the Canadian Pacific. The local steamship line ran better and bigger vessels and carried more freight and passengers, but so keen was the competition of the Canadian line that the Oceanic was forced to cut rates to very low figure. The trouble was that the Canadian Pacific enjoyed a Government subsidy $250,000 a year. The Oceanic had a subsidy of only $54,000 from the United States Government. It was therefore apparent that the Canadians had nearly $200,000 the better of the proposition.

The Spreckeis people wanted their subsidy increased. Senator Perkins was asked to assist In the endeavor to maintain the steamship line by Government eld. Ho handed the matter over to Loud, who was Chairman of the Postal Committee. The Congressman succeeded In effecting the passage of a bill by which the Oceanic line gained a yearly mall contract of from the Government. That amount now paid' the company In addition to the $54,000 subsidy.

The business men of this city were therefore not at all surprised when they heard that John D. Spreckeis was In favor of the renomlnation and ri-electlon to Congress of Eugene F. Loud. Mr. Spreckeis Is also said to be In favor of the nomination by the Republicans of Assemblyman Dinkelspiet for Congress in the Fourth District against James G.

Magulre. Mr. Dinkelsplel had a bard fight when he ran for the Assembly, and won out by a nose. At the request of D. M.

Burns, the Assemblyman voted for M. de Young for the United States Senate. Mr, Spreckeis recalled that fact when the name of Dinkelsplel was recently suggested for Congress, and the Republican leader made some comments on the advisability of sending to Congress a young man who was evidently troubled with mental strabismus. Dinkelsplel tried to "square" himself by saying he had voted for De Young at the request of Burns, whom he could not refuse, as he owed his election to the Colonel and John D. Spreckeis.

"I never asked you to vote for De Young," said Now, however, he is out for Congress, and Spreckeis Is for him. That may be only a deep scheme of revenge on the part of Mr. Spreckeis, for none of the Republican leaders hope for their success in the Congressional fight In the Fourth. Even that eminent statesman, John M. Chretien, saiji the other day that In his opinion the Republicans should make no nomination at all, but should concede the district to Ma-guire.

Besides Dinkelsplel, Tom O'Brien and Judge Campbell are ambitious to represent the Republicans of the Fourth District In Congress. O'Brien met Mr. Spreckeis on Market street yesterday, and with his hand on his heart the orator assured the old partner of Colonel Burns that the name ot Spreckeis was the "open sesame" to success and distinction in local and State poll, tics. "I'm your friend," said O'Brien, "and I'm for you all the time." Then Mr. Spreckeis quietly broke away and wandered down the street talking silver with Colonel Trumbo.

CHINESE FUNERATb MR. ARCHIBALD'S In 3 Mr. Archibald Gives Another of His Thrilling Hunts at San Rafael. He Won First Prize, but Got Horse-Gore on His Nice White Breeches. THE LADIES ALL RODE SUPERBLY, Young Mr.

Piexotto Struck the Trail of a Chinese Funeral and Fe'ched Up at the Graveyard. At the conclusion or tne second paper chase under the auspices of the San Rafael Hunt Club yesterday afternoon the trees In the vicinity of that charming suburb looked as If a troupe of Absaloms had passed that way. Hair of all shades and colon hung from the branches, to say nothing of hats, eye-glasses, coat sleeves, stirrups and bits of feminine apparel. But the hard were run to earth by fleet-footed livery stable horses, and the hounds all turned up altve, though some of them were slightly disfigured by contact with the scenery. The pursuit of scrap paper cast to the winds by Baron von Schroeder was far more thrilling than the hunt of a week ago.

There were not so many hounds, but nearly everybody lost the scent and Mr. Arch! bald, director of the hunt, came in at the finish with bright red horse blood on bU white riding breeches. He also had pains his funny bone, and the young man looked as If he had taken a trip in a street sweeper. The Baron's coat was ripped up the back and his eye-glasses hung ncgll gently Into the chasm, held in place by a small silken hawser. Several of the ladles lost their hats, hairpins and ribbons, and returned with pieces of bark and foliage adhering to their tangled locks.

But every body had a splendid time, the ladles rode superbly, and the tourists on the hotel veranda said It was the finest hunt they ever saw. The Baron and his daring companion, Miss Frances Currey, led the hounds an awful chase over hill and dale and through milk ranches. Barbed wire fences and yawning ditches had no terrors for Mr. Archibald's pack, who followed the paper trail with the relentless fervor of real bloodhounds. It was the Intention to have sent East for a barrel of hues and cries to bo used In the chase, but it was found that those accessories would not arrive In time.

However, the hunt passed off very pleasantly as It was. Miss Tene O'Connor, on a spirited thor oughbred, won the first prize offered to the ladles. The trophy consisted of a handsome silver toilet set. Miss Ethel Thompkini took second prize, In the shape of a chased pickle dish. Mr.

Archibald captured a pair of military hair brushes and first honors, and Ben Thomas was awarded the silver matchbox and second place. Those taking part in the hunt were Miss Gertie Forman, Miss Mary Bell Gwln, Miss Tene O'Connor, Miss Mollie Thomas, Miss Gertrude Buckley, Miss Ethel Thompklns, Miss Rosslng-ton, Miss Farnsworth, Miss Helen Thompklns, Edgar D. Pelxotto, J. F. L.

Archibald, Willie O'Connor, Count du Pare, V. Artslmovltch (the Russian Consul), Lieutenant Fechtelor of the United States Navy, Ben Thomas, C. Harrison Fisher and James Swinnerton. Several other gentlemen In proper riding garb would have chased the elusive paper but the supply of horses ran out. Mr.

Archibald telephoned to the stables In San Rafael, but found that all the hack horses that were having a day off had been en-gaed. Having Imparted this intelligence to his fellow hounds, Mr, Archibald went and put on his red vest and set about starting the hunt. The hour agreed upon was o'clock, but through some misunderstanding the hostlers led the cavorting chargers out upon the esplanade an hour ahead of time. Thereupon the ladles and gentlemeu grew very much, excited, and stood up on the piazza to see the start. But the Baron had not yet arrived with his bags of paper, and a rumor was set afloat to the effect that the messengers with the paper bad missed the boat.

Meanwhile Mr. Archibald gave directions about the course, and Umpire Jack. Crooks arranged the hounds for a start. The ladies were placed In the front platoon with the gentlemen close behind. Count du Pare, with his monocle sewed to his eyebrow, paired off with the Russian Consul, who wore a glass in each eye and smoked a pipe.

Count du Pare also smoked but Mr. Archibald was too busy. Just before the start Frank Van Ness, the only gentleman present with golf socks, wai counted out because he had no horse, and F. A. Greenwood, who Intended to ride furiously In a pair of drab bloomers, generously PAPER HUNT J'P One of Them Was Sentenced by Judge Wallace to Life Imprisonment WILL BE PARDONED BY THE GOVERNOR A Woman, the Real Culprit, Made a Confession Vvhen She Thought She Was Dying.

Thomas Hutchinson, a young Englishman who was undergoing a sentence ol life Imprisonment for robbery, has been pardoned by Governor Budd. The pardon is to go into effect August 20th. On that d3 Hutchinson will sail on the steamer Mono, wal for his home In Auckland, New Zealand. It has been discovered since his conviction that he was Innocent. As the vldenee in his favor appears to be applicable to the case of Charles Hennessey, ail alleged accomplice, it Is probable that Hennessey will also be given his freedom.

The men were convicted on the false testimony of Michael Mattison, a sea-faring man, who disappeared from the city soon after the trial. It is not believed, however, that Mattison deliberately swore to what he knew to be untrue. In the light of subsequent developments It Is thought that Mattison honestly believed that he had been robbed by the men. Early on the morning of March 11, 1S95, Mattison approached two policemen and told them that he had been assaulted and robbed in the hallway of a roomlng-houst at 31 Hunt street. He said that he was searching for a woman whose acquaintance he bad formed about an hour before when two uen attacked him.

He claimed that one of them knocked him down and the other took $10 from his hip pocket. The policemen accompanied him to the house, and ho pointed out Charles Hennessey and Thomas Hutchinson as the robber They were placed under arrest and searched. No money was found on them. A search cif the room occupied by them failed to reveal any money. Hennessey admitted having had a quarrel with Mattlsoa, but denied that there had been any robbery.

The men said thai Mattison rushed into the room saying that a woman who had run away from him was hiding there. They denied that she had ever been in the room. Mattison persisted, however, and said that he was standing irf he hallway" When SW 'wenTlntir thefapart-anent." They tried to explain to him that It was Hennessey's brother instead of a wi j-ian who entered the room at the time. Mattison had been drinking heavily and ibecame very abusive. When Hennessey left the room Mattison followed him into the hallway.

There they quarreled and Mattison was knocked down, Hutchinson and Hennessey were arrested and charged with robbery, Hutchinson, unfortunately for himself, had a short time before served a sentence for stealing a canary bird. Hennessey had not borne a very good reputation. They were convicted in Judge Wallace's court on April 25th. They appeared for sentence on June 14th, end Hutchinson, having a prior conviction against him, was sentenced by Judge Wa.V lace to life imprisonment, while Hennessey escaped with a sentence of twenty-flva years. A few months after the men were sent to Folsom Prison Mamie Irving was taken to the Receiving Hospital to be treated for a severe wound of the Bcalp received by falling downstairs while drunk.

She was the woman Mattison met on the corner of Hunt and Third streets the morning he claimed that Hutchinson and Hennessey robbed him. She thought she was going to die, and confessed that Hutchinson and Hennessey were innocent of the crime of which they were convicted. She said that the $10 gold piece Mattison claimed the men took from him had been given to her by Mattison Instead of a quarter of a dollar that he supposed he had given her to pet a drink. She said that she did not Jtnow It was a gold piece until she tenderfd It In payment for the drink. She then determined to keep the money, and for that reason avoided Mattison.

She went to another rooming-house. The story of her confession was told ti Hutcninson by one of the people who heard Jier acknowledge her guilt. Hutchinson communicated with his parents, who are wealthy residents of Auckland, asking them to assist him to establish his innocence This resulted in the employment of De SOME OF THE a I' LL Judge fvlcKisick Is Confident the Commissioners Have Power to Exercise Control, IT IS A TRANSPORTATION COMPANY. There I a Section In'endaJ ta Lim Jii-! diction, but the Jurist Declares It Is Unconstitutional, Many lawyers are deeply interested in the decision of Railroad Commissioners La Rue and Stanton to attempt the regulation of the charges of Wells. Fargo the Southern Pacific's adjunct in California.

The first steps in that direction will be taken at their meeting on August 7th next. The general Impression prevails among the members of the bar that the Commission ers have authority over the express company's rates, and they are surprised at the Indifference or something 'worse of pat boards in not seeking to exercise a control over it as a transportation company under the Constitution of the State. The fact that only a few States have sought to control express rates hitherto lends additional legal interest to the present attitude of Messrs. La Rue and Stanton. Ex-Judge L.

I). McKIMck is or.e of the many leading lawyers of the city who think Wells, Fargo Co. can have their rates regulated by La Rue and Stanton. Heaho thinks that Huntington under that particular corporate name should no longer' he permitted to charge rates without proper control by the board. In speaking on tt subject yesterday he said: "Wells, Fargo's express company Is certainly a common carrier under Article 12 and Section 17 of the State Constitution, which says In part: 'All railroad, canal and other transportation companies are declared to be common carriers and subject to leKtii-latlve An express company is a common carrier.

It la a transportatlcn company. The Supreme Court of the United States and other courts in many cases lime held that express companies are transportation companies. "You will notice that Article 12, Section 22 of the Constitution of the State says: 'Said Commissioners shall have the po.vr and it shall be their duty to establish rates of charges for the transportation of passengers and freight by railroad and other transportation The Constitution, therefore, makes no clistinctlcn between transportation However, the Act of the Legislature to organ ard define the powers of the Corair.ifcsioot rs, approved April 15, 1S80 undertakes to define, and docs define, the words 'transportation companies' in the fourteenth section, which declares: 'The term "transportation companies" shall be deemed to mean and Include: First, all companies owning and operating railroads, other than street rail, roads, within this State. Second, all companies owning and operating steamships engaged in the transportation of freight or passengers from and to ports within this State. Third, all companies owning and operating steamboats used in transporting freight or passengers u.ion the rivers or Inland waters ot this "If It was intended by this section ta limit the Jurisdiction of the Commlssiouer the section is unconstitutional for the reason that the Legislature did not create the Commission.

The Constitution created It and conferred upon it the jurisdiction and powers which the framers of the Constitution Intended It to exercise. It is, therefore, for the Commission, subject ta the judicial power, to determine its jurisdiction and not the Legislature. The Legislature may confer further powers upon the Commissioners necessary to enab! tbem to discharge their duties, but it has no authority to limit the powers conferred upon them by the Constitution.

A Superintendent of Construction of the New Municipal Building Who Will Have Nothing to Do. The walls of the old City Hall have not been torn down entirely.

The Building Committee of the Supervisors desires that Mayor Sutro compel J. J. Rauer, who took the contract for removing the ancient structure, to perform his obligation. The committee says that Rauer left part of the walls because the material would not pay for the expense of removal. Daniel E.

Condon has been reoommended by Supervisor King for the position of Su perintendent of the new hall which Is to be erected on the site of the old. It Is likely that work1 will not commence on the new building until next year, when the present Board of Supervisors will have gone out of office. Condon's friends in the present board will then be unable to give him the desirable place of Superintendent. In order that the appointment may go through Supervisor King will provide In his resolution that Condon shall receive no pay until work actually begins, which Is to be taken as a liberal concession on his part. The reason given for making the appointment now Is that the Superintendent may have time to familiarize himself In advance with his duties.

The resolution will be offered at the next meeting of the board. THREE VOLUISJ HIT, Th Printed Transcript on Appeal Piled in Court Yesterday.

Suddenly and without warning the Baron dashed up at 3:17 o'clock on a yellow horse Imported from San Luis Obispo county expressly for the occasion.

The horse wore a proud and haughty air and the letters on his port quarter. A round of cheers greeted the Baron when It was ecpn that he had two pillow slips full of paper attached to the pommel of his saddle. Miss Currey swung in alongside the Baron and tbo hares were off, scattering scraps of paper right and left. Ten minutes later the pack was let go, followed by a large cavalcade In dog carts and carriages. The crowd rushed up the tower to watch the winding course, but hunters and hunted were soon lost among the trees.

The hares took a cross-country cut to the south and then started for Inspiration Point, the highest mountain in the vicinity. About a mile from town the trail led through a dairy ranch and farm yard, where the hounds got slightly rattled. Some of the horses seemed bent on returning to the livery stable In spite of their riders, and Mr. Peixotto's Bleed ran over a milk can in his wild delirium. But they all got started again across the fields and up the mountain side, along narrow cow paths where a single false step meant death.

Count du Pare flushed a cow In the bushes and chased her half a mile before he could turn his horse. Miss Tene O'Connor led on the return chase, with Mr. Peixotto second, until be came to where a Chinese funeral had crossed the trail. Much to his disgust Mr. Peixotto followed the wrong paper and brought up at a graveyard two miles away from the true course.

As they neared the finish Miss O'Connor secured the ribbon from the Baron's lapel, but fell In checking her horse. On the outskirts of the village Mr. Archibald put on a spurt to catch Miss Currey. Young Ben Thomas was with him, and to gether they tried to take a five-barred gate at Llchtenberg's place. Thomas made the Jump all right, but Archibald's horse shied and landed in a kennel full of bulldogs.

The animal tore a hole In his flank and the rider landed on his right elbow, rendering the arm useless. His white trousers were ened him very much. When the people In the tower saw the riderless horse they reported that Mr. Archibald had been rur, down by a cow and was coming home in a milk wagon. But by a great effort Mr.

Archibald recovered his hunter and overtook the hares. About half the hounds lost the trail or became confused near the finish and came palloplng in without having seen the hares. And to further complicate matters the Baron arrived In a totally opposite direction from whence he was expected. However, Umpire. Crooks straightened things out and made the awards.

The hounds wer all very much winded and torn by th bushes. Willie O'Connor lost one stirrup, which was found by Mr. Peixotto on his return from the graveyard. THE DIVORCE RECORD. Timothy F.
