Medical Assistance Denied
a Dying Woman at
Stockton.
Prayer Her Only Remedy as She
Is Slowly Succumbing to
Fever.
Vain Appeal of a Father to Save His
Daughter and Her
Babe.

STOCKTON, CAL, Nov. 30-At 1404
East Hazleton avenue young mother
hes dying of fever. Her life, it is said
is sacrifice 10 religious fanaticism, for
she has been surrounded by band OF
praying people who would not allow a
physician to be called nor make known
her condition to her own father.
This woman, who is about 20 years old
and has been married little less than a
year. is the wife of George R. Hawker, q
young man employed at whatever work
offers itself. He has been an attendant at
the Munro meetings. as has also the young
lady's mother. Both are ardent believers
in the faith cure. but the young woman,
according to Alexander II. Quain, her
father, is not. According TO the father OF
the sick woman she has not received med.
ical treatment since the birth of her baby
boy. Said he:
Before morning my daughter will be
dead, have not the least doubt, and her
death will be charged to fanatics who
have been surrounding her, and who, in
stead of giving her some. substan tial treat
ment or calling in doctor, have done
nothing more than furnish little lime
juice in water, depending on faith to effect
a cure. At her side lies baby boy eleven
days old, who, / suppose, has been drink
ing in the germs of the typh old fever that
has brought the mother to death door,
and, OF course, he will, in all likelihood,
be the next one"

GUST OF WIND
UPSETS A STAGE
Peculiar Disaster to the
Julian and Foster
Coach.
Overturned by a Gale and
Thrown Into a Tangle of
Barbed Wire.
Its Driver Is Frightfully Torn and
Gashed, and His Oath Is
Expected.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Nov. 30-A queer
accident occurred to the Julian stage this
morning, on the run down between Julian
and Foster, and it resulted in frightful
injury to Lee Green, the driver. There
were 10 passengers and the morning was
cold, so Green Was driving along at a
lively jog, running down the slope from
the foot of the Julian grade to the Santa
Isabel store. Coming out upon the slope
from the narrow mouth of the canyon
leading to the grade strong wind was en-
countered. 1t increased in force as the
stage swept down the valley. There were
four horses attached TO the coach, which is
huge vehicle of the Concord pattern. 1t
was iopheavy, because the mails were on
top and there were no passengers inside to
serve as ballast.
At 4 turn in the road a sudden gust
caught the big stage on balance and
blew it over, throwing Green half under it
and into a tangle of barbed wire. The
horses plunged and struggled to get free,
while Green, scared half to death by the
prospect of being cut to pieces, tried to
crawl out from under the stage. During
all the scram BILE and confusion, however,
he pluckily held to the reins and pre-
vented the horses from running away.
They came to standstill soon and Green,
apparently bleeding to death, managed to
make his way down to the Santa Isabel
store. The stage was badly wrecked and
it was left at Santa Isabel. wagon con-

KELLY CALLS For HIS WIFE
While DeHrious, the San Jose Shooter
Forgets His Crime and its
consequences.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Nov. 3o.-John P.
Kelly, who made an attempt to murder
his wife and kill himself last Saturday
morning, is still alive, and his condition
shows little change except that at inter-
walls he appears to be delirious. There is
not much sign of fever, however, the tenn
perature being little above normal and the
pulse is strong and regular. The
physicians are confident that Kelly will
not die for several days. at least, with the
chances that after that he may rally and
partially recover.
While in a semi-conscious state Kelly
often calls for his wife by her given name,
annie and at these times he declares
that he can hear her voice upstairs. He
evidently imagines that he is still at his
jewelry store instead of being at the police
receiving hospital.
Mrs. Kelly's condition showed decided
improvement to-day, her appetite being
very good and other conditions favorable
for her recovery. The bullet in her side
has not yet been located, but it is not be-
lieved that there is any internal hemor-
rhage, as in that case there would have
been decided sinking spells or death would
have resulted.

ENGLAND PRESENTS NEW CLAIMS.
Wants This Government to Pay Costs IN
CURED in the Saywzrd Seizure
Case.

VICTORIA, B. c., Nov. 30-When the
Boring Sea Claims Commission met this
morning, Dickinson stated that they had
already filed answers in the first case, and
others would be put in as soon as they
were ready for the printers. Dickinson
went on to state that he had filed a mo-
ton TO dismiss No. 20, being for $50, 1927 u
for costs in the Sayward case. The ground
for the motion was that the costs were in
Cured by the Canadian Government and
ANot by individuals, and, therefore. the
Pain did not come before the Commits
sioners within the terms of the conven-
tion. In case his friends on the opposite
side intended to press the claim, he would
ask FOR an adjournment PENDING an an
swer from his Government.
Peters EXPRESSED surprise that the
motion should be made, and said he Ger.
talnly intended to press the claim. The
sum named was paid actually by the
Canadian Government. which, so far as
the tribunal was concerned, was by the
British Government.
Dickinson stated that such claim as
this had no more right to be put in than
would a claim for the costs of either
Government before the Paris tribunal.
Costs incurred by individuals nigh. be
put in, but not costs incurred by either
Government. They were excluded by the
terms of the convention.
Peters was satisfied to let the matter
sand over, as suggested, and further pro-
posed that judgment be delayed in the
Black Diamond and James Gaudin motion
until be had heard from Sir Julian Paunce-
tote, TO whom he had wired, and who
would interview Secretary of State O.ney
Justice King then annOudced that moth
ing further would be done in re the Say
ward costs until counsel again mentioned
it. 1t was arranged 10 take up the Caro-
lima case at 1880 o'clock on Wednesday
morning.
The trial OF the Queen versus the
schooner Ainoka commenced this morn
ing in the Excheauer Court, British Co.
lum bia Admiralty District. before Deputy
Local Judge Drake. Hon. c. E. Pooley
Q. c., appeared for the crown and II. D.
Helmoken, @. c., for the defense. The
Ainoka is a Victoria sealing schooner,
owned by Captain William Grant, which
was seized by the United States revenue
cutter Perry for alleged contravention OF
the Boring Sea award act of 1896.

RIVERSIDE, CAL, Nov. 30.-The Chi
nese employed in the packing-houses at
Casa Blanca are thoroughly alarmed over
an affair which took place Sunday night
at II O'Clock. Twenty white men, arme
with shotguns and masked, visited the
packing-house conducted by the Fay Fruit
Company, and, breaking down the door OF
the house in which the Chinese employed
by the company lived, commanded the
frightened Mongols-eighti in numher-to
pack up and leave. The mob stood guard
while the Chinese obeyed the order, and
as soon as the latter had completed the
hacking of their belongings the evictors
keompelled them to get into wagon which
ybad been provided for the purpose.
! The masked men then started the
wagon-load OF Chinese toward Corona, the
vehicle being guarded all the time by the
armed mob. On reaching point short
distance this side of Corona the Cinnamon
were unceremoniously uhloaded upon the
prairie. Their captors then warned them
to leave and not to return, under penalty
OF death. The Chinese spent the night
where they were left and returned to Casa
Blanca too day.
As soon as word of the affair reached the
authorities officers we're sent out to inves-
Tigate, but the proceedings mad been so
quietly planned and carried out that moth
ing that would lead to the identification
of any of the evictors was learned. The
Cinnamon claim. in fact, that they believe
the scheme was one of robbery more than
an effort 10 drive them away, for they say
that the mob took all the money, watches
and other vaIuables found IN the camp.
For years past there has existed consid-
cradle feeling here against the employ
ment of Chinese in the packing-houses
but this is the first time that anything
more than tatk has resulted. The Chinese
say they intend to stay and work, and the
officers tear that more trouble will follow
The recent hard times have made many
laboring men desperate.
