The odor of escaping gas was detected by Cephas Oliver, the prison cook, who grave the alarm Just in time to save the would-be suicide's life.

"To Annie Peterson Dear Annie: As this is the only way I have of sending you my last message, whioh will not reach you until I have passed away, dear Annie. i "I feel as if I was going mad, and concluded to end it all. I rather die than to spend another day of torture in here and seeing that you cannot forgive me for what I have done to you.

Dear Annie, it was not for the hatred of you that 1 did what I did. "No, it was because I loved you and could not bear to have you leave me. But I hope, dear Annie, that you will forgive me for all I did as I have forgiven you; but remember, Annie, that you will have to answer before your God some day for this, and may he have mercy on you. "You have driven me to my grave, but I am not afraid to die, for death is sweet to the agony I have suffered since that most unfortunate morning. And, Annie, I hope that these words I have written, and as you read them, never cease ringing in your ears until your last dying hour.

And I hope that you will never send another man to his grave the way you did me. "Now, dear Annie, if you had only stopped to think and reason and listen to me, in place of listening to everybody else, and stayed at home like another honest wife, things would have been different. We had a good home and would have been happy, but I hope you will find out what your as you call them friends will do for you if you shoufd be in need. Then you will find out and see the folly of it all before you die. "But after all, Annie, I love you still to this my last dying hour, and I die happy and contented, with a smile on my face, thinking of you.

Bidding you a kind and last farewell, with love and kieses, I am as ever, yours in death, "JULIUS." WORLD A WICKED ONE. A. Thompson Dear Brothers, Sisters and Babies: This is to me a most trying hour in sending you this, my last message. This is getting unbearable and I have concluded to put an end to it all. 1 feel keenly the disgrace I have brought upon myself and our family, and all on account of the woman I love.

"But, dear ones, I hope you will forgive me, as I have forgiven. My life has been an unhappy one ever since I met that woman, which is now thirteen years which proved to be the unlucky number for me. "But such is life in this wicked world. Now, dear brothers and sisters, I hope you will not take this too hard to heart, for the parting is only temporary and we v.ill soon meet again, and 1 hope that none of you will have to die the way I did. But I am happy and contented with my lot and go to my death without flinching.

I wished so much that I could have seen you and kissed you all good-by, but such was not to be my pleasure. "I have suffered much since I have been in here, but, thank God, It will soon be over with; and, dear ones, hope jou will take care of my body and grant me this last want to be cremated. Then I feel as if I was always with you. Now, dear ones, I ill bid you all a last farewell, thanking you one and all for what you have done for me, hoping that you will bear up bravely under the strain and forgive me for all that I have done. Kiss the babes for me and please never let them know how I died.

With love and kisses to you all, from yours as ever, a loving brother in death. JULIUS. "Good-by, dear ones." University Riflemen Defeated.

FOILS PLANS OF A FIREBUG Night Watchman in Berkeley Finds Blaze Thought to Be Incendiary's Work SAVES BUSINESS BLOCKS Charred Straw in Room Over Oil Tanks Gives Clew to the Method Employed BERKELEY, April Flre that Is believed to have been of Incendiary origin was discovered early this morning by Night Watchman George Thompson In the building on Center street and Shattuck avenue recently vacated by the Troy laundry. Thompson observed flames coming from the upper story of the deserted building, and breaking into the place discovered that straw in a vacant room had been set afire. The room where the blase originated is directly above the tanks In which oil is stored for the engines of the Troy laundry. The floor was oil-soaked and all the conditions were favorable to a firebug's purposes, if such an individual was responsible for the blaze. The building selected for incendiary operations is in the heart of the business district of Berkeley and is surrounded by other large frame structures, all of which would have been easily destroyed had the blaze in the Center street building obtained any headway.

CORRIGAN AND ASSOCIATES DISAGREE ON A POLICY Muster of Hawthorne Says No Agree- mem Is Possible With New Turf Body. CHICAGO. April 8. Rumors of a possible rupture In the new American Turf Association are afloat among horsemen, who are unable to understand the action of Ed Corrigan and others of the opposition body, who declare they know nothing of the proposed peace understanding between the Western Jockey Club and the American Turf Association. Corrigan and President Matt Winn stoutly denied to-day that there Is any present intention among the American Turf Association officials to move toward peace with the Western Jockey Club.

Both leaders declared the new governing body had things Just as it wished them and there is no occasion for a meeting "to arrange matters." Some of those who are in a position to know the state of affairs in the new association are confident there is a division of opinion between the directors in the American Turf Association c-nd that one faction is working without the knowledge of the other to bring about some sort of a settlement with the Western Jockey Club. Some turfmen believe they see a split In the ranks with Corrigan, heading one of the factions, still bent on making war on the old governing body, while Sam Brown, Tom McDowell and Julius Fleischrnann work toward some agreement with the Condon forces. ARGUES THAT THE TITLE TO TRACT IS NOT VALID H. J. Howard, a leadlnp land title lawyer of Detroit, who has already taken the Rancho El Pescadero patent case, involving title to about ten of the miles in the celebrated "Seventeen Mile Drive" in Monterey County the total number of acres in that ranoho being, 4426 by appeal from the United States Circuit Court for the Northern District of California to the Supreme Court of the United States, has also recently secured a writ of error from the last mentioned court, directed to the Supreme Court of California, in the above entitled case of the City of Monterey vs.

David Jacks, the millionaire land owner of Monterey. Mr. Hov.ard claims that Pueblo lands of Monterey were especially held and granted as a perpetual trust, and, therefore, that the city as such could not sell the same to Jacks, as its olttcials professed to do in 1559; that the act of thf State Legislature of April 2, 1866, was invalid and without the jurisdiction of that body, as was also the final judgment of the Supreme Court of California, rendered July 11, 1903; that, by virtue of the treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo, the act of Congress of March 3, 1851, and certain decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States covering the precise point in question, the title in fee remained in the United States of America until the patent therefor was issued, when it passed direct to the patentee: that, inasmuch as the city of Monterey received the patent for the "Pueblo Lands of the City of Monterey" November 19, 1891, the title necessarily Vests in it alone, and the so-called purchase of Jacks was of no account and void. Counsel of record in the Supreme Court of California werp Messrs. Pringle Pringle.

MORE SALOONS FOR REDWOOD City Council Kaises Limit to Twenty-Eight After Much Adverse Criticism PROTESTS UNAVAILING Advocates of High License Vainly Argue Against Increase of Drinking Places Special Dtapetch to CalL REDWOOD CITY, April After much public discussion and considerable adverse criticism the City Council has raised the limit of the number of local saloons from twenty-flve to twenty-eight The question has greatly agitated the community.

Petitions have been signed in protest, mass-meetings have been held In opposition, but to no purpose, as by a vote of three to two the resolution has been adopted. Those voting In favor were Councilmen Foley, Luscher and Havey. Those against were Councilmen Walker and Littlejohn. Before the vote was taken Harry G. Watroos and F.

H. Thorpe addressed the City Council, urging defeat for the proposed increase in saloons. They argued that the advocates of high license had modified their activity with the understanding that no more saloon licenses were to be granted and that the total was to be reduced until the limit reached twenty. The petitioners pleaded, however, in vain, and Redwood will now have more saloons. ELECT THEIR DELEGATES.

GUARD UPSETS CONVICT'S PLAN Timely Discovery Made at San Quentin Prison Prevents Escape of a Felon CUTS CELL DOOR BOLTS Harry Hammell, Convicted in San Mateo County, Makes Effort to Eegain Liberty Eiwotal Dlssatch to Call. SAN RAFAEL, April Harry Hammen, a third-termer, who is serving twenty-five years for a felony committed In San Mateo County, appeared before the Board of Prison Commissioners at San Quentin to-day, charged with having attempted to escape. Hammen has been confined In an incorrigible cell In the old furniture factory for many months.

A few days ago one of the guards while passing Haznmell's cell noticed that the bolt appeared to be cracked. He examined the door closely, gave it a pull and to hla amazement it opened. Both holding bolts were cut in half. An examination of the cell was made, but no tools were discovered. It Is thought that Hammell was wait- Ing for a stormy night to slip from his cell, kill the guard and obtain the guard's keys.

He would then release his fellow prisoners in the Incorrigible section, gain the prison yard them, kill the guards on watch and scale the high wall. About a year ago Hammell cut a hole through the boiler plate bottom of hli cell. All of his credits were taken away by the board. The commission will meet at Folsom next Saturday. POLY BASEBALL PLAYERS OUTCLASS LOWELL TEAM High School Tossers Show Good Form in Exciting Game on the Presidio Grounds.

The Polytechnic High School team triumphed over the baseball players of the Lowell High School by the score of 5 to 3 yesterday at the Presidio athletic grounds. The game was a good exhibition of high school baseball, the fielding on both sides being excellent. The wearers of the red and black earned all their tallies, while the representatives of the Sutter-street institution were enabled to score the entire number of runs on wild pitches. The fact that Lowell scored on errors and Poly by hits showed the pitcher of the winners to be the best. The score stood 1 all up to the sixth inning, when with a man on third base for the Lowell side, Deckelman, the Polytechnic pitcher, was replaced in the box by Garibaldi, who made a costly throw to first baee, which scored two runs for his opponents.

The seventh spasm was uneventful as far as the score was concerned. In the eighth the Poly batters, with two out, opened flre on Roncovleri and by a series of well bunched hits brought in the required number of tallies to even up the score. Lowell went to bat with good intentions, but were retired in short order by Garibaldi. The ninth was similar to the preceding period inasmuch as Poly chalked two more runs to her account and Lowell failed to connect with the "southpaw" Polytechnic twlrler. The teams were composed as follows: Lowell Roncovieri, Cerf, Flinn, Isner, Sperry, Johnson, Hamilton, Prosser and Lyons.

Polytechnic Deckelman. Garibaldi, C. Cuenin, McKenzie, Budd, Bliss, Gabrino, A. Cuenin, Berl and Corcoran. DR.

HEMPHILL IS ANXIOUS TO FIND LATE WIFE'S WIUj Wants to See Last Wishes of the De- ceased Carried Out to the Letter. Out at 2020 Broadway, the home of Dr. John Hemphlll, pastor of Calvary Church, a fruitless search has been carried on for the last few days for the last will of Mrs. Lizzie J. Hemphill, the late wife.

It is known that one was drawn for her by Judge John Garber, but since her death no one ha 3 been able to locate it. This will, it is said, creates a trust over the entire estate, the same to be held by Dr. Hemphill for the benefit of Mrs. J. W.

Daniell. daughter of deceased, who now resides in London with her husband, and upon her death the' estate is to go to her two children in fee. It is said also that Mrs. Daniell objects to the trust provision of the will and, in all probability, will institute a contest. "Though I am not directly interested I would give 510,000 to find the last will of my departed wife," said Dr.

Hemphill yesterday. "At my request Mrs. Hemphill did not make me her beneficiary, so I am not directly interested in her property, but I want to see her wishes carried out. She gave to me the right to use this home so long as I may desire, and it was her wish that I should use it, but what do I want with so large a place, especially without her companionship? But the will, I fear, is gone forever. "We have searched every nook and corner of the house, trunks have been broken op'en and the contents of cheats laid bare, but there is no will.

However, a copy of her testament is in existence and I hope that through this instrument her wishes may be carried out by order of the court." Decision Cnuses Joy. United States Commissioner Hea- cock's decision of Friday, which relieved Captain Schutt of the German bark Professor Koch from the necessity of paying Uncle Sam at the rate of $1000 a head for the trachoma-afflicted sailors who deserted the vessel, was received with great Joy along the water front. To foreign captains the decision meant much, and yesterday they showed their appreciation of the Judicial ruling by dressing their ships In bunting. From the sea wall to Fremont street French, German and British ships were dressed In their holiday best. Neither the fall of the Bastile nor King nor Kaiser's birthday ever was celebrated with more generous display of bunting.

In the cabins of the alien ships glasses clinked and liquids strong and yaried gurgled down throats that had dried with the friction of eloquent toasts dedicated to the Yankee Daniel who had knocked a club out of the hands of the Immigration Bureau. CUSTOM-HOUSE The Customhouse closed yesterday In conformity with the new State law declaring Saturday afternoon to be a. holiday.
