THE FRANKLIN MYSTERY.
An Incident Supporting the The DRY
That Negro Was Killed.

The theory that the human remains found at
Franklin are those of negro killed during the
troubles of last summer is supported by an fn-
cidsnt which happened at that time. num-
Der of the negroes who lived in the upper end
Of the camp away from the main body were in
fear of an attack by the strikers from the noun
tain side above them and used to take turns at
scouting through the woods in search
of hostile parties. One day one OF
these men, who formerly lived among the
Indians and seemed to have acquired the In
dian keenness of scent, declared that he
scented decaying human flesh and started cup
the wind" in search of it. He made frequent
trips through the woods, but failed to find the
supposed corpse. The air was then so full OF
wild rumors that no importance was attached
to his story.
1t is possible that there may have been good
foundation for this mans statement and that
some negro may have been killed in skirmish
in the woods and his body left there to BIO torn
to pieces by wild beasts.

BACK TO THEIR BEATS.
The Number of Police in hinatown Re
duced.

The Number of Police in Chinatown Re-
duced.
Chief Crowley has taken most of the po-
lice out of Chinatown. He did so because
THE CALL proved that the Chinese could
shoot each other at will right under the eyes
of forty police officers and escape detection,
and also because THE CALL presented to
the people the fact that forty police officers
were huddled together in Chinatown trying
to keep themselves warm while the outlying
districts of the city were crying for police
protection.
Yesterday the Chief ordered all the Of
ficers who were stationed in various alleys
and on the principal streets through the
Chinese quarter to report to their respective
captains and be assigned to their old beats.
The practice OF sending the officers for a
week al time to guard peace iii Chinatown
was to say the least bad. for the officers
were taken of their beats i'll different parts
of the city, and while they rusticated among
the heathens they were not patrolled. The
consequence of this was numerous reports of
burglaries, Tor the burglars could easily as
certain when beat was not patrolled, and
knowing that the chances OF arrest by of
fceTs patroliiUg cross streets was very small,
became bold
Under the new order the two Chinatown
squads Will patrol Chinatown. and six Off
GERS. whose beats extend along Clay. Wash
ington and jackson streets, will report for
duty at the Waverly- place station.
peculiar thing about the Wayerly- place
Police station Is that it is maintained by
money furnished by Chinese stOrekeepers
These Chinese wanted police protection,
and they got more than they barganed for.
They wanted protection mostly from black
mailing highbinders. and of course the Chief
of Police was only too willing TO give il to
them. He stationed dozens of officers in the
Chinese quarter and appointed squads TO
watch and raid lottery, faD-tan and other
games. They did their duty well, and kept
filing the Waverly-piace station with Chi
nese gamblers until an open gambling game
was hard TO find. Here is where a little
joker hobs up. The Chinese merchants
found that they were cutting their own
throats by asking for vigorous police pro-
lection, for the merchants run the lottery
aud fan-tan games, and were. in fact. pay
ing to have them closed up. Now they want
all the police to leave Chinatown, and say
that they will hereafter be content to pay
the levy of Matchmaking highbinders.

their support should revert to the human
heirs and heiresses in certain stipulated
proportions.
A most unexpected controversy has arisen
over the WILL however and il can only be
settled in a court of law. 1t appears that a
few days after Miss Gorgas' death the cat
gave birth to five kittens. and three days
later herself passed away. Her death was
not regretted by the human heirs, and the
five blind little orphans were abont to DE

Deputy Collector higgins Talks About
the Becklry-McCnrthy Trouble.
A. L. Higgins, Special Deputy Collector
Of the Port of San Diego. is in this city on a
visit lie called yesterday on the local
Custom-hause officials and was entertained
by Deputy Collector Jerome. Mr.. Higgins.
in speaking of San Diego affairs, said that
matters in the Federal department were
very quiet now. The only exciting occur
renee. and one which is causing great deal
of talk. is the trial of Henry Beckley and
his son George for perjury. which will COM
mence in the United States District Court
in Los Angeles to-day.
The Beckleys are residents of San Diego
County and own farm near the Mexican
border. Some months ago they furnished
information to the Collector of the Port.
John X. Berry, that number Of men were
actively engaged In smuggling horses from
Mexico into the United States. The matter
was investigated, and as q result ID. o. and
j. II. MCCARTHY, two ranclers, who live on
the Otay Mesa, near the boundary which
divides Lower California from the United
States, were arrested and tiled as snug
elers.
The trial resulted in an acouittal, and the
McCarthys Immediately lodged a complaint
against the Beckleys: charging them with
perjury. The jury indicted Beckley, father
and son, and to-day'S trial is on these indict-
mentS.
MIR. Higgins says that public opinion is
unanimously with the Beckleys, who bear
an excellent reputation for honesty, and
that the Government officials rs well as the
people are satisfied that their charges of
smuggling against the McCarthys were
founded on facts, although they were unable
to prove them, because a number of Mexi-
cans. who find it profitable TO stand by the
horse-smugglers, testified in their favor
Ii is thought that the same kind of testi-
mony will be used against the Beckieys in
the perjury case. but Collector Berry will
use every endeavor to establish their inno-
canoe

A Determined Attempt to Com.

Man Takes Several Different Kinds of
Poison and Tries to Drown
Himself.

As the 6 o'clock ierry-boat from this city
was on the way to Oakland pier, and when
abreast of Goat Island two young men
noticed man acting strangely. and directly
saw him make for the rail. They caught
him just as lie was getting over and pre-
vented him from jumping into the bay. He
was determined and 1t took several men to
hold him. At Oakland pier a telephone
message was sent to the City Hall and two
officers, vino went after him, took him to
the County Jail on suspicion that ne was
insane. He was locked in cell
and acting so much like an insane man that
no one would go in the cell. Assistant
Jailer Schoenau arrived from San Quentin
about half an hour after the mans incar-
ceration and went into the cell. He found
that the man had made rope about five
feet long by tearing up blanket. lie said
he Intended 10 hang himself with 1t. He
admitted to the jailer that he had taken
poison, so County Physician Stratton was
sent Tor aud spent three hours pumping
him out and thoroughly rinsing his stomach
1t took four men to hold him, as he said
he was determined to die. When the
doctor was through with the stomach pump
the man said he had taken carbolic acid,
then sulphuric acid and afterward nitrate
OF soda and other poisons. The doctor is
of the opinion that he took strychnine
The prisoner said he would kill himself if
ever he got out, even if his life was saved
this time He said that his name was Joe,
but would not tell his surname.
The following is a copy of note found
in his pocket badly written as if by one in
agony.

At II o'clock he was sleeping and it was
believed by the doctors that he was out of
danger. He is about % 10 80 years of age.
HIS right leg is off above the knee and he
wears a cork leg. The only reason he
would give for his action was that he was
tired of life aud that it was not worth

tracted spree. His name does not appear
in San Francisco or Oakland directories.
