WALKING ARSENALS.
How Two Texan MarshaIs Escorted Pig.
my Mongols.

How Two Texan Marshals Escorted Pig
my Mongols.
About 9 o'clock last night novel process
sion walked into the Central Station after
having been deposited from a hack at the
entrance. The party was headed by two
Deputy United States Marshals. and behind
them limped four of the gauntest and most
carewoTn Chinese ever seen in this city.
They appeared to have been without food
for days and seemed to have hardly strength
to lift the bundles that composed their eff
fects. Notwithstanding this they were
heavily shackled and had to be assisted to
move along.
The prisoners were captured some time
ago while entering the United States al
Eagle Pass. which is on the Sonora and
Texan lines. They claimed to have come
from Cuba and crossed NJ exico on foot
They were remanded to China and were
brought to this city to be retu rned by Dep
uty United States Marshals Ii. S. Walters
and Ii. G. Hunt, both of San Antonio, Tex,
and both of whom looked liked giants be-
side their plgmy prisoners, Walters being a
typical-looking Texan Sheriff, over six feet
high, wearing hat with rim about one
foot in diameter, from under which flowed
long dark hair. His red, sunburnt face was
ornamented with q long brown muStache,
which curled up tiercely at the ends.
When he pushed aside his long linen dus-
ter there was TO be seen around the top OF
his pantaloons belt filled with cartridges,
while on one side was a pistol as long as
a small gun, and theslong, white handle Of
a bowie-knife cleaned in the region Of his
left upper vest pocket. Walters wanted no
makeup to pass as Texan ranger. and as
he paraded the prison corridor he was the
cynosure Of all eyes. The spectators only
thought it strange that such formidable
walking arsenals as the Texan Marshals
should have shackled the diminutive Chi
nese with twenty pounds Of iron.

DEADLY GAS.
Another Case of Accidental As.
pbyxiati0n.

a man about 81 years Of age and
evidently Of respectable connections was
found dead in bed from asphyXiation at the
fremont House, 523 Kearny street, about 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The only thing found by which the man
could be identified was the name of j. +.
Miller, which was stamped ON his shirt.
According to the statement made by the
landlady, the deceased came to her place
about o'clock Sunday night and engaged
a room. He was accompanied by friend,
and both appeared to have been drinking.
They left together, the one who engaged
the room saying he would return later At
what time he did so the landlady stated she
aid not know.
In the morning the chambermaid knocked
at his door, but received no response. 1t
was supposed the man was sleeping off a
drunk. Between 4 and 5 o'clock the land
lady went to the room and thought she de-
tected faint odor of gas. She entered the
room with one of her keys, and found the
man dead. There was no gas escaping at
the time, though the cock was partly turned
on. This is explained by the landlady's
statement that the gas is turned off all over
the house at o'clock every morning and is
not turned on again until o'clock in the
afternoon.
The deceased was undressed when found
dead. His clothing found in the room in
cluded black three-button cutaway. gait
ers, turned-down collar aud Derby hat. His
face was fleshy. A small brown mustacbe
covered his upper lip, while his eyebrows
were dark and heavy In one of his pockets
was found card, on which was written his
weight. 158 pounds. A poetical clipping en-
titled MY Little Girl Under the Snow"
was also found on his person.
The man is not thought TO have committed
suicide. as the gas was Only partly turned
on. 1t is supposed he ret Tned to the room
in drunken condition, and after undress-
ing turned off the gas and then turned it
hastily on again, falling Immediately into
drunken sleep.

proved by the board. 49,
Mrs. Conklin is accused of mutilating
the Treasurer's book OF Palace Circle by

ling 10 Palace Circle to the individual credit
Of Mrs. Conklin in savings bank.
After reclting the numerous Illegal acts
on the part of Mrs COnklin, the committee
states that every means has been tried to
induce her to resign that she might be
shielded from public disgrace, and that she
was exonerated on the promise of the Sec
rotary, Mrs. Clark, that the President
would thereafter resign, pledge never full
filled. The report adds that the home is
virtually closed because the Admission
Committee Is unwilling to place inmates
under the protection offered by Mrs. Con-
kiln, and that Kings Daughters DO injury
to every idea of right by working with the
present President"

every member Of the Kings Daughters,

AN ABLE TEACHER.
Testimony for Professor KnOWl.
toms Defense.

Some Of the oldest teachers in the School
Department testified in defense of Ebeuezer
KnoNlton, an instructor of the Boys High
School, charged with incompetency and lack
of discipline, when the Board OF Education
resumed the trial last night.
Attorney Jordan outlined the defense,
stating that the charge that Professor
KnOwlton had often been transferred on
account of incompetency had not been sus-
tanned. He would call witnesses to prove
the general reputation OF the accused as a
teacher and disciplinarian.
Before any teachers were called to the
stand, Superior Judge III. F. AngellOtti OF
Marin County testified that he was a
student under Professor Knowlton at the
Boys High School for two years. he con-
sidered him a good dIsciplinarian and an
efficient teacher The witness knew of no
unusual acts of disorder in Professor
Knowlton's class that would not occur I'M
der any other teacher.
Miss Laura a. Fowler, teacher of the
Normal class in the Girls High School, and
who has been connected with the depart
ment for a quarter of century or more,
was of the opinion that Professor knowl-
ton was good, both as teacher and a dlsei-
plinarian. She thought that any lack of
discipline in a class was due TO a lack OF
supervision on the part of the principal Of
tie school,
]. L. Crittenden, instructor in mathe-
MATES of the Boys High School. said that
Professor Knowlton always main tanned
good order, and in his opinion was an eff
cient teacher.
Miss Helen N. Thompson, who has been
a teacher in the public schools here for
thirty years, taught alongside Of Professor
KnowltOn for ten years She considered
him good teacher and found that he al
ways preserved good order in his class.
Professor A. T. VIM, a teacher at the
Boys High School, deposed that Professor
Kuowlt9n was the best instructor in his
tory and eloeution he had ever known.
James G. Kennedy, principal Of the Cogs-
well High School, testified that while he
did not consider Professor Knowlton one of
above the average.
Amos Cummings, teacher Of drawing at
the Boys High School, said that Professor
KnOwltOn was a good teacher, always will
ing to help students aud assist other teach
eTs.
Owing to the absence ofseyeral witnesses,
Attorney Jordan asked for an adjournment
until Friday night.
Director DuttOn said the Directors had all
made up their minds in reference to the
case and he asked that the trial be lndefi-
nitely postponed. Chairman Hyde ruled
the motion out of order and an adjourn
ment was taken until next Monday night.
Before the trial was resumed Director
Dunn asked that the rule recently adopted
which requires all teachers in commercial
schools to have a first grade grammar
school certificate be reseiDded. A motion to
that effect was lost, as it was declared that
only one teaeher-Isador LesZynky-yas
affected by the rule.
