Why DID She XIII Him.

San francisco, Jan. ga sensational
murder occurred here yesterday after
noon. Harry G. Pool, q young man well
known about town, and of well-to-do fam
lily, was shot and almost instantly killed
by Mrs. Shattuck, the aged mother Of
Estrulia Shattuck, young and pretty
chorus girl at Tyoli opera house, who
had severed connection with the Mvoi
company Saturday night and was to
have left this morning with Hendcrson's
Sir bad" company. Young Pool was
summoned to Miss Shattuck's home in
the morning, where the girls mother met
him and demanded that he marry Miss
Shattuck at once. Pool refused, and
Mrs. Shattuck put pistol to his temple
and shot him dead. The woman was ar
maniac at the city prison. The girl is
also in Mysteries and unable to talk.
Speaking of Miss Shattuck's appearance
with the nivoli company as leader of the
Amazon march in specta acular '"The
Island of Jewels" the Examiner yester-
day morning said: '"The pleasing young
person with Il sword who leads this march
is perhaps as much eatitled as any one
to wear the title The California Venus,
as she wes the model of the crowning
figure in the mid-winter fair fountain in
the Sunset City, and her fac simile in
staff will stand amid the falling drops Of
water in front of the administration
building as Il sample of what California
car produce in the way of female
beauty"

Boston, Jan. S-Mary Kennedy, a do

Martin of Cambridge, last night plum
dered a burglar who was trying to rob
the house of her mistress After supper
Mrs. Martin and her daughter went out
and left the house in charge Of the serv-
ant girl. They had hardly departed
when the servant thought she would run
out for a while. When she came back
she found the house lighted up, and on
the way to her apartment she was star
tied at seeing a satchel lying on table
in the center of the room. The thought
a. once flashed through her mind that
there might be burglars in the house.
Cautiously entering the dining room, she
grabbed the bag and made wild dash
for the door. The last seen of the man
he was jumping from the piazza. The
bag was found to contain diamond rings
gold watches and necklaces, and the
Martins estimate their value at ove1
$1,000.

BOTH WERE MURDERED
A TERRIBLE CRIME DISCOVERED
NEAR CINCINNATI.
A Farmer and His Wife Killed and
Their Bodies Partially Burned
Their Son Missing and IS Also Sup
DIsed to Have Been Murdered.

CiI dnnati, Jan. 9.-Harry Zaner lives
near this city. Zaner and his wife were
found murdered. Zaner was a farmer and
G. good citizen. The murder was evident
ly committed yesterday. Zaner, wife and
one son compose the family. Zaner and
his wife are dead, the son missing. The
wife has five bullet holes In the face and
ZaEer's head is mashed by blows Oh the
rear Outside of the house are pools of
blood, and the stock of his gun lies near
him in the kitchen with the barrel bent
out of shape. The clothes were partly
burr ed off and t$e faces of both more
Or less burned. The barn is burned with
its contents, nearly full of hay, three
horses and four or five cattle perished.
The evident purpose was to burn the
house as the victims were saturated with
oil. But neighbors came in time to save
the house. 1t is the theory that the son,
who was a quiet young man, may have
beeL burned in the barn. In making a
search about the house three pocket
books were found containing 1926. These
were all together, as if dropped in the
haste of the moment. Bureau drawers
and papers showed that bloody hands
had been about them. Two cOlOred men
were seen in the village of Heinchville,
half a mile away to-day. They asked for
razors. Zaner was a man about sixty,
was soldier and good citizen. The
crime is surrounded so far by mystery.

Folsom, Cal, Jan. 9.-As a horse and
cart were passing along Leidersdorf
street to-day one wheel passed entirely
out of sight, throwing the horse off his
feet. Investigation developed the fact
that the Chinese have been running
mining drifts beneath the streets and the
railroad, honeycombing that entire portion
of the town, and probably extending un-
der some of the business streets. 1t has
long been known that a large body Of
rich auriferous gravel lay beneath the
property owned by the railroad COM
pany, but they would not permit it to
be mined. Considerable excitement ex-
lists as it is impossible to say how ex
tensive are the workings.

twenty-one are Democrats and nineteen
Republicans. From the Republican ab-
sentees, of course, no aid Is expected.
They can be brought here under duress,
but they cannot be made to vote. This
applies to some of the Democrats as
well as Republicans, and If the opposition
within the ranks of the Democratic ma
jority can be organized, as some of them
desire, enough Democratic members might
refrain from voting to prevent the con-
sideration of the bill in its present shape.
Privately some of the Democrats do not
hesitate to admit that the gravity of the
situation is very great. The possibility
Of defeating the consideration of the bill
strikes terror into their hearts, and some
of them, like Col Ostes of Alabama,
openly advocate a resort to the parlia-
mentGry expedient utilized by the Fifty
first congress of counting a quorum.
Spegker Crisp asserts most positively that
they will not be forced to this resort.
He thinks a voting quorum will be here
certt inly ON Tuesday at the farthest.
If it cannot be obtained then, another
Dem ccratis caucus will be called. This
is irdeed what those who are dissatisfied
V ith the bill are aiming at. They de-
clare that as soon as they can demon
stratc that not a sufficient number If
Democrats will vrte to consider the bill
the leaders will be obliged to submit TO

glTptled members will propose. Some of
the Eastern Democrats who are fighting
