ANOTHER BLANTHER SEEN
Thought to Be Travelling Near
King City as a Piano
Tuner.
But the Police Say That He Has Gone
East by the Texas Pacific
Railroad.

Mrs. Wallace, wife of Superintendent
Wallace of the big Dunphy ranch ten
miles from King City, arrived in town
yesterday with startling Blanther story.
She says that man answering in all re-
spects the published description of the
suspect visited her residence last Thurs
day. The man wore glasses, talked with
German accent and kept his left hand
gloved. He claimed to be piano-tuner,
but never asked to look at the piano in the
house. He was given accommodations
for the night and engaged himself in
writing letters and what seemed to be a
diary. He kept out of the light of the
lamp and disappeared before daylight
He was anxious to disclain all interest in
the San Francisco papers and in a gentle
manly way evaded all inquiries. The fact
of his being gloved excited peculiar notice
Mrs. Wallace has given full particulars
to Sheriff Mathews of Monterey County
who viii investigate the matter.

Portland on Sunday, have Captain Bowles
TO thank for saving them some $500 in
good hard coin.
Shortly after leaving Portland four sure
thing gamblers made their presence felt
IN various ways. First they tried the she'll
game, with only fair success. This was
iolloWed by game of euchre, which
turned into poker after few deals. The
combination rung in a pack OF marked
cards, with the result that some $500
passed into the Golfers of the sure-thing
men.
The victims entered no particular prot
est, but the matter became noised over the
boat: Captain Bowles heard of the scheme,
ana Just before reaching this port he made
demand on the men for the return of the
com. The gamblers Indignantly denied
mat anything wrong had occurred, but
they hnally returned the money under
protest. Captain Bowles determined to
nave the gamblers arrested, but hardly
mad the steamer touched the landing than
the four men made their escape over the
SIDE and were soon lost in the crowd.
incidentally it may be remarked that
the Columbia broke the record from Port
land TO San Francisco by nearly two hours.
Forty-eight hours to the minute was the
time consumed in the trip down.

West in the spiritual vineyard, but shoulder to

on to victory The time has come for united
action, California spiritualists. representa-
tives of q great, liberty-loving people. will,
am sure, unite to speed the day when the
clergy shall not dictate what laws legislators
shall enact; when church property shall be
taxed, and Sunday, the peoples day, not made
holy by law; when mediums shall neither be
arrested nor taxed because they have been en-
dowed with gifts by nature; when we shall
once more have the right TO enter spirit life
free from the effects of drugs pre-
scribed by regulated and protected quacks

appointed representatives, become SO small
and so much to desire temporal power as to
wish to- be placed in the constitution OF the
United States.
California is on record at this Office as
against God in the constitution. May Ca;ifor-
MIA assist US at once in this age OF reason to
write, if need be, new Declaration of INDIE
pendence, thus promulgating the true rights
OF man-end woman, too.
FRANCIS B. WOODBURY., Secretary n. s. A.
]. ]. Morse, the official lecturer of the
Psychical Research Society of this City,
was then introduced by the president and
spoke of the affairs of spiritualism in
Great Britain. He also referred to the Ly-
ceum Banner, spiritualistic periodical
for children, which, he said, was the only
paper of the kind in the world.
II am editor of this children's sheet"
he added, "but in my absence the cares of
that position devoive upon my daughter,
Florence"
Much of his speech was devoted to the
establishment of lyceums for the child rem
of believers. In conclusion he said:
"They tell me that porous plasters are
good for weak backs. What we want to do
is to put spiritual porous plasters on our
backs and go in to conquer the world"
A motion was here carried to adjourn,
and recess was taken until the afternoon.

THE POLICE THEORY.
They Say Blanther Did Not Go to
Mexico, but Slipped Away
East.

Josef e. Blanther, the murderer OF Mrs.
Langfeldt, did not cross the border into
Mexico as was at first supposed.
Captain Lees had wired Chief of Police
Rink at Ell Paso to see Conductor Rich on
his arrival there again and ascertain what
he knew about Blanther's movements.
The captain received dispatch yesterday
from Chief Rink that Rich saw Blant Their
on Tuesday, May 10, the day after he ar
rived in Ell Palso in brand new suit of
clothes OF brown material, light Fedora
hat and black kid gloves. The coat was
frock.
at P. NJ. that day Blanther left on the
Texas Pacific Railroad train which went as
far east as Fort Worth, a distance of about
600 miles. Ii he went there he could have
gone in nearly twenty different ways.
Steamboats, could carry him out of
american waters to South American or
European ports. By taking train to the
north he could ride to Oklahoma or Indian
Territories, or he could have continued his
journey eastward and have arrived at New
York or Chicago before now. It is not
known yet how far he journeyed on the
Texas Pacific, but inquiries by telegraph
have been made on the point
Bianther VIII, 1t Is thought, continue his
travels until his funds get exhausted and
then he will either do something despe-
rate 10 replenish his excheauer or en-
deavor to hide himself in some remote
corner.
Captain Lees is hard at work getting III
new circulars out, but he is meeting with
unexpected obstacles in getting them
from the printers, more particularly those
in the Spanish language A force of men
was busily engaged all day in STAMPING
and addressing envelopes in readiness for
the circulars.

POPPER'S PLAIN TALK.
He Hints at Boss Influence on the
Actions of the Election
Commissioners.

The Election Commissioners held a
somewhat heated session yesterday and
all because Max Pepper in speech in
which he advocated reforms in the man
ner OF choosing election officers. and made
pointed remarks in relation to a hidden
power, which, he declared, had much to
do with the action of the Commissioners in
the way of choosing officials. This refer
ence to a boss was taken up by Auditor
Broderick, who Indignantly denied that
he, at any rate, was bound to any boss.
Pepper said that he had scheme which
would obviate election frauds and was in
vited by the Commissioners to submit it
for their consideration.
Registrar Hinton announced that he
had appointed the following extra clerks
pursuant to the instructions of the board:
P. ]. Murphy, Chauncey Barber, ]. NJ.
Norgues, P. A. Morbio, Timothy Donovan,

clodhoppers whose words stumble over their
own tongues. We want such men as will be
looked on as representatives like Theodore
Parker of the Unitarians, Talmage OF the
Presbyterians, Sturgeon, Wilson and let me
not forget grand old Danton of our own belief.
Another thing in which we want to take
more active interest is the subject of aims
houses and hospitals for aged and INDECENT
mem bers of our own persuasion. Many of the
grandest old fighters of our faith are now de-
pendent upon the charity of cold, hard world.
i've ought to provide the comforts OF life to
them in their autumn OF life and place them
where they can receive the benefits of magnetic
healing and other modes OF treatment peculiar
to us Lyceums for children would also come
under the head OF institutions we should es-
tablsh.
And now let me end my address to you this
morning with denial OF the fact that and
other officers OF this great National association
are getting rich. 1 have delivered 1913 adj
dresses since January l, and to-day am in debt
on account OF former illness. Other officers
have worked as hard as l and are no better off.
My desire is not TO grow wealthy, but to see us
grow richer in knowledge and experience; to
see The dsy when our armor VIII be so invul-
nerable that the thunderbolts of orthodoxy
will glide harmlessly off and leave US in hap
plness and peace.
The conclusion of the presidents speech
was attended by the most boisterous en-
thusiasm. AS he took his seat those who
occurred the seats of honor with him on
the platform crowded round to conpratu-
late him. The whole house was in buzz
of excitement.
Quiet was finally restored by W. D. J.
Ham bley. a delegate from the First Spir-
itual Union of San Jose who obtained the
floor and asked the president if he were in
favor of forming State societies.
YES" was the answer, 81 am; but I'M
til they are formed l am in favor of your
seeking protection by coming into the Ma
tional body"
Various remarks on the subject of or
ganization we're made by the delegates,
and then President Barrett rose and said
he was Just in receipt of letter by special
delivery from the National association.
He then read the communication to the
assembled delegates. The following is a

ings.

that we were going to hold grand con-
vention here for the purpose of organlza-
ton was surprised beyond measure.
I'VE have decided that in view OF the
strenuous and unseltsh endeavors that
our sister has put forth in our behalf, we
shall present her with this token OF our es-
TEEN, beautiful jewel in the shape OF
Maltese cross, with our emblematlc hover
upon it."
Here Mrs. Whitney stepped forward to
where Mrs. Sloper sat and in a pretty
little speech presented her with the jewel.
Friends and fellows piritualists." said
Mrs. Sloper, in acknowledgment, "thls is
one of the proudest and happlest moments
of my life and feel bound to say that the
realization of my unworth and the small
amount of labor 1 have expended in the
affair does not in any great degree detract
from my happiness.
t'My whole desire in this world is to see
our grand and true religion grow to be rec
ognized of all men as the noble fabric 1t

President Barrett then spoke briefly, end
ing with introducing J. ]. Morse, the pres
ident of the San Francisco Psychical So
ciety.
The latter read a resolution recon-
mended by the committee of which he
was chairman thanking everybody for his
efforts in behalf of the convention and
the press for their liberality in publishing
news.
Now came the great feature of the pro-
gramme-John Slater in tests. He was
called forth from the audience by Presi-
dent Ryder, and as he stepped upon the
platform there was an expectant hush.
Il am not here tonight to gull any
body" he began, land before you leave
this hall you will all agree with me. Re-
member, L say you will, for l intend to
make you believe.
"These things oftentimes occur to you
these phenomena | am going to bring be-
fore you, and you oftentlmes wonder why
they are"
Then Slater stood very still, with his
eyes closed in dreamy manner, and sud-
denly opening them began to speak rapidly
and to describe someth ing that had taken
place in the life of some one present dur
ing the day. When be asked that man if
these things had happened the man, in
what seemed q rather reluctant manner,
admitted that it was so.
He then went through many OF these
| circumstances.
After several short speeches the session
came TO close by the singing Of "Ameri-
ca" 1t was stated that to-day William
| Emmette Coleman may be on hand.
During the progress of the evening a
| very pleasing allusion was made to John
Rodes Buchanan, the gray-haired octo-
genarian, who poses almost as patria rch
| of the cult.

AFTERNOON SESSION.
Resolution for Organization and
Some Interesting
Paners

AS soon as the body had convened in
the afternoon ]. J. Morse of San Jose rose
and presented a resolution for organiza.
ton.
A paper was presented by John Brown,
"the medium of the Rockies" who is so
aged that his eyes would not permit his
reading it himself. The burden of the
article was to the effect that the spirits
had been telling him for years that such a
convention, for the purpose of organiza-
ton, should be held in California.
Several persons then followed with brief
speeches on the same subject. The presi-
dent of the National Association also gave
few words of advice as to how thew
should go to work TO accomplish the de.
sired end.
1t was decided that no final adjourn
ment be taken until this evening. and a
fresh committee on the subject of organi-
cation was appointed to take action on the
foregoing resolution. An adjournment
was then taken till evening.

The Power
of Manhood.

MAYHEM YOU LOSE THAT
Wv power you have lost all
the best of life. There is
charm gone from your exist
ence, and you miss it more than
anything else.
But when you regain it after
years of incapacity your heart
will leap with joy-then the
bright spirit will shine forth in
your eye, and the happy smile
in your countenance will tell
your acquaintance that you
have found a new existence.
Then you meet your friends
with the strong clasp of the
hand and the look of confidence
which tell them that "here is
the newborn man."
Your every action bespeaks
new manhood. You are then
better man physically and men
tally than if you had never
known weakness.
"You can say that I was
nearly q wreck in every way,
but | am now a better man than
l ever thought of being" says
L. l.. Jaccard, the Jeweler, of
San Leandro, CAL, after using
DR.. Sanden's Electric Belt.
Some men feel that they are
not weak, though they are not
what they might be in manly
vigor had they not lightly trans
crossed the laws of Nature.
These are just the ones who
most appreciate the value of DR..
Sanden's Belt. In a few weeks
they learn that it can make them
twice as strong as they were.
"Before I began using your
Belt I thought there was not
much the matter with me, but
after using it a month [ have
found the value of good health, "
says VIM. Simpson, Goleta, Cal.
Electricity is wonderful in its
strengthening influence. Your
vitality seems to grow stronger
and more buoyant every day.
There seems no limit to your
energies. You can do twice the
amount of work you formerly
could, and not get weary.

any two men now" says l..

Words cannot tell of the full

who have been restored to man
hood by DR.. Sanden's Electric
Belt. Will you become one OF
its happy patients :? You can
learn how great has been its
good work by reading the little

Judge Campbell's court yesterday charging
her husband with battery. She said that on
