Consulting former superintendents and the best teachers, the highest educational wisdom. was embodied in the new laws, and the committees of both branches of the Legislature adopted and recommended them.

Then it required a prodigious amount of watching, care and urging to get them passed. The files were crowded with Important bills and many were never reached, but the school laws were passed. After the passage of the laws came the work of their execution. In this, as in all the work tommitted to his hands, Mr. Campbell acquitted himself with great credit.

1 Rev. Jesse Wood, former Superintendent of Schools of Butte county, once said of Mr. Campbell: "Hon. Fred M. Campbell came to the office of State Superintendent of Public Instruction at a time when none but a master could have done himself credit in it when it needed a mastet adjust the law to the new order of Imparts that peculiar lightness, sweetness and flavor noticed in the finest cakej biscuit, rolls, crusts, which expert pastry cooks declare is unobtainable by the use of any other leavening agent Made from Pore, Grape Cream of Tartar AOYAL BAKING POWDER 100 WILLIAM NEW YORK.

March 29 The tes timony of Mrs.

Florence Maybrlck in the taking of depositions in the case of her mother. Baroness von: Roques against David W. Armstrong and oth ers, involving valuable tracts of land in Virginia, West Virginia and Ken tucky, -was concluded Mrs. Maybrlck displayed marked ca pacity for avoiding direct answers to the rigid questioning to which she was subjected. She declared with respect to the signing of certain papers in the prison which were brought to her by Consul Potter, that she was so imper fectly informed as to the communica tions that passed between Mrs.

May-brick and her mother, that she simply signed the documents without any clear knowledge of the transaction. Upon being pressed for a more direct answer, Mrs. Maybrick insisted that when she signed the papers she did not know the nature of their contents. cause he was refused his share of the spoil. COLLINS AT LARGE.

Collins, the other suspect, is still at large, but the detectives are confident that he soon will be arrested. NEWS OF ARREST. The news of the arrest of Zimmer man was telephoned to Vice-President Palmanteer of the Central Bank, Sheriff Veale of Contra Costa county, Sheriff Barnet of Alameda county and to THE TRIBUNE by Captain Burnett of cthe detective force of San Francisco. Vice-President Palmanteer im mediately sought for John E. Daly and Frank Roche of this city, both of whom were in the buggy at the time the robbery took place, and requested them to report as soon as possible at the police headquarters in San "Francisco for the purpose of striving to identify the man under arrest.

Soon after the arrival of THE TRIBUNE reporter, at the Hall of Justice, Messrs. Palmanteer, Veale and Roche put In an appearance. They were escorted to the city jail by officers of the police force, and Zimmerman was brought before them. Mr. Palmanteer had never seen any of the actors in the robbery and was therefore unable to identify Zimmerman as having been ln any way conr nected with the.

highway robbery. He was of the opinion, however, that he had seen the man at different times on the streets of this city and was inclined to think that he had observed him in the vicinity of the bank of which he is an ofttcerj THE IDENTIFICATION, Roche, however, was strongly inclined to the belief that Zimmerman was one of the heroes of the rid-up, though he did not have as much opportunity of examining Zimmerman as did Daly, because Roche's antagonist was the man to whom Roche gave most attention, and of whom he was most inclined to observe. His identification will be more valuable in deciding he identity of Collins as the other 'one of the highwaymen. About a half-an-hour afterward Daly made his appearance at tne police station and was immediately escorted into Zimmermans' presence by Captain Burnett and several J. other officers, and was accompanied there by Mr.

Palmanteer, THE TRIBUNE reporter and several other people. Captain Burnett arid the visitors remained out in the booking room of the jail, while one of the guards told Zimmerman to come that he was wanted. Zimmerman appeared in a light colored spring overcoat and a black derby hat, which was partially turned down over the eyes. As he turned the corner of the door opening Into the booking room, his eyes furtively glanced at the group of waiters and then his eyes dropped to the ground and remained fixed there during the interview. He never dared to look any one of the members of the party in the eye, although a number of questions were propounded to him by Captain Burnett This conduct on Zimmerman's part was due to the fact that in the one glance which he swept over the group he caught the eye of John E.

Daly rivetted upon him and realized that the man whom ke had robbed had come there to identifyhim, KNEW HIM. He recognized Daly on tke instant and at the same moment Daly iden tified him and turning TRIBUNE reporter said: to THE "That is the man (indicating- Zimmerman) who had the Winchester rifle trained on me last Monday week. That is the man that robbed us. I knew him the moment my eye; rested on him. I caught the glance of his eye and that glance satisfied him who EX-COHVICT BY 1 (Continued From vices pre hot only sought in 6Htics but In business.

I am a little enthu iastic in my admiration of the success which he has had in accomplishing the many difficult i tasks which have been committed to his hands.

I am glad to say that I think the State office has never been better filled than it has been by Mr. Campbell. I pronounce his official administration a superlative success. I have been teaching in Cali fornia under four State Superintend ents, and have held my present office under two." HE WAS A POWER. In all the varied duties of his office in county institutes, among teach rs and school officers, everywhere, he was a living power, stirring all to enthus in the work of education.

In ex officio places, on the Board of Regents of the State University, or that of the Normal School, he did his whole duty.

RETURN The clothes in which he appeared were practically new.

including the hat and shoes, and could not have been in use more than a couple of weeks at the most This newness extended even to the shirt and tie, and in the mind of the detectives was proof ot the fact that as soon -as he had come Into possession of another man's coin he had expended some of it in getting clothes of a presentable After THE TRIBUNE reporter's ex- perience with Zimmerman, Daly and Mr. Palmanteer, Captain Burnett and the reporter went to the property room in the Hall of Justice where the contents of Zimmerman's trunk were critically examined, by everybody but especially by Daly.

Governor Pardee today received a letter from Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock in response to a as to the status of the Yosemlte Valley and Mariposa big tree grove, ceded by the State of California to the Federal government by an act of the last legislature.

Theer has been some question as to whether the Federal government has actually accepted the receded territory and it was to sett'e this question, if, possible, that Gov. Pardee wrote to Secretary Hitchcock. Without passing on the question as to whether the government accepted the Valley, Secretary Hitchcock states that the Comptroller of the Treasury has given his opinion that the $20,000 appropriated by Congress for the care and improvement of the valley can be used for that purpose.

I was. Ton see he now refuses to raise his eyes to look at any one. and more especially at myself." That was absolutely the case. Zimmerman hung his head down, stood in a half-crouching position and was seemingly oblivious to everything and everybody aout him. Aftei the identification Captain Burnett asked Zimmerman if he, Zimmerman, had not sent word do to him that he did not want to be photo graphed.

Zimmerman refused to answer. Captain Burnett plied him with questions on the same subject, in effect what Objections he had to being photographed, whether the attaches of the jail had treated him in an unkindly manner and whether the jail photographer could be sent to him. Zimmerman, however, did not deign to even look at his questioner, much less to answer any of his qus-tions. REFUSED TO ANSWER. Captain Burnett said to hln after a pause, during -jphlch silence reigned: "Why can't you answer a civil question, Zimmerman?" The question, however, might as well have been propounded, to the Sphinx, because no answer was vouchsafed.

Zimmerman was then led back to his cell and a conference was held between Daly, Mr. Palmanteer, Captain Burnett and other officers, in which Daly reiterated In eftUct the substance of the statement made to THE TRIBUNE reporter as above published. "There is no doubt at all in my mind," said Daly, "tha Zimmerman Is the man who held mei up. You may look back to my description of him given as it was on the day of the robbery, and you will find that I spoke of the high cheek bones of the man who ordered me out of the buggy with the Winchester staring in my face. You see in his face Ligh cheek bones, which were not covered on the day, of the robbery with the mask which Zimmerman wore." It should be stated in this connection that Zimmerman, as he was turning away from the group, remarked more in soliloquoy than as if addressed to any of the auditors, that he didn't know anything and had nothing to jsay.

This was in a tone audible to Daly, and in commenting on it afterward Daly said: "Although those words were uttered in a low tone, the voice is one and the same as that which was used in ordering Roche and me out of the buggy a week ago last Monday. I could not have been, mistaken in it" Later THE TRIBUNE reporter was given opportunity of seeing Zimmerman alone, and practleally the same reticence was displayed. "Did you know, Zimmerman, that the police were hunting for you?" "I don't know anything." "Have you seen Collins lately?" "Whd is Collins "Do you know Collins?" was asked, "I have nothing to say." A number of other questions were propounded, but the only answer that was given to them was at the close: "You may keep on asking, but I don't know anything. Who are you a newspaper man?" The Reporter replied in the affirmative, whereupon Zimmerman said that that was alL arose and was escorted back to his cell. Zimmerman is a man about thirty-five years of age.

and well built He has a complexion inclined to be dark. with semi-regular features, although the cheek bones are most pronounced. I His eyes are dark brown. He has an easy manner, though his glances at some times betray restlessness, and a low species of cunning. There is something of the Indian in his bearing, though be otherwise appears to be of German descent, I Dollar's Worth Free To Apy Rheumatic Sufferer THE LATE FRED a family of eight boys.

His father, who died in 1882, at the age of eighty years, looked like a. Scotchman. dark hair and black eyes of theire, the stalwart frarne and fine presence of Mr. Campbell were a heritage from ai long line of virtuous ancestry, of which he was proud. His mother was a Didwell, a pious woman, did not live to train her child afte- his fourth year.

His early instruction1 was all obtained in the public scrTcSbls of his native city. So eager and diligent, had he been that at fifteen he was a teacher; nd while in charge-of a class he attended an evening normal school. AtTeighteen he graduated, and at twenty married, and still continued tq teach in the public schools. In 1858She came to California. On September 3 he tjook charge hbf the public school Jn Vallejo.

HIS FAME. His fame as a successful teacher had gone abroad, and when tholRev, J. H. Brayton applied to John slvett for a i i teacher in the College Schopl in Oak land, he recommended Mr. Campbell.

In 1861 he took charge of that school, which, under his admirable management, became' the leading ne of the chemlca, Jtnew that I coufld make a Kheiuuatio cure that would beTracticauy certain.

M. Campbell as a teacher of an academy of high character. Scattered over this coast, in every State and Territory and adjoining countries, are. scores and hundreds of men in the active pursuits of life, many in leading positions, who were pupils in that school, and their unanimous testimony is that they never knew a better teacher. By hered-ity, Mr.

Campbell was a believer in God arnd man. He was profoundly im pressed with the value of the human soul. Mr. Campbell could rriake each boy comprehend that no progress in knowledge was possible without order, harmony and exclusive devotion to the etudy in hand. That authority is exercised only to attain the end for which he was in school.

Mr. Campbell was always a popular teacher and an excellent disciplinarian. It is not too much to say of Mr. Campbell that he was a born teacher. He gave his life to the work, and few-have equaled and fewer istill excelled 't him.

So great was his success that Mr. ra Frayton found his service? and voluntarily increased his salary to $275 a month for the last years of his stay. CITY SUPERINTENDENT. In 1870 he was chosen superintendent of the public schools of Oakland. Into this new field of labor he threw his whole soul, and by his uritiring energy, activity, ingenuity and skill, he brought the schools, step by step, to the highest state of efficiency.

In the many years of his incumbency his power over teachers, members of the Board of Education, City Council arid the people, was continually exerted and ever increasing. He. made everybody feel that the schools were the first care of government and people; that they should be the pride and boast of the city. He gathered the best men round: him to second all his efforts; but he was always at the front, clearly the' leader. If a new school house was needed, it was built.

The high school was cherished, and enlarged, the best teachers secured for the primaries, every detail of the work in every department was closely scrutinized, and every possible improvement introduced. Drawipg and music were taught, and no spirit of beggarly economy was "allowed: to cripple the schools in any way. So high was the enthusiasm kept up that parsimony was shamed into liberality. Once In two years there was an election, and every time Mr. Campbell was nominated and elected.

No matter what party was defeated, there were enough of all parties to keep Mn CamPbe11 ln hia Place; When his name was presented for State Superintendent, testimonials of the highest character were signed by the clerrry of all denominations, by the Board of Education, the best citizens of all classes, and scores of his former pupils.
