A Scream of Mortal Agony That
Will Haunt the Old
Mission.
THE MURDERER's ANTECEDENTs
Comes From Family of Lunatics and
Had Been a Protege of
His Victim.

SANTA BARBARA, CAL, Feb. o.
Early this morning the startling rumor
flew about town that Father Superior
Ferdinand Bergmeyer of the old mission
had been fatally wounded by an assassin's
bullets. At the old mission confusion and
distress replaced its usual tranquility for
the cruel deed had in no way been fore
shadowed.
The criminal arose this morning with
the other inmates, served mass or "Medi-
tation'-as the AS service is caIled-sat
at table with his victim, and nothing un-
usual was observed in his speech or de-
meanor, nor did anything occur tnat could
have in any way aroused his malice.
Yet as the aged Father Superior was
clim bing the stairs leading to his bare cell
he heard a strange explosion and saw this
man, known to all the inmates of the
monastry as Henry" who worked in the
garden and stables of the mission and
shared the devotion of the brotherhood
and privileges of their simple life, standing
few steps above him, still clad in the
cassock he had worn at the sacred srrvice.
In quick succession four other shots
were fired, each taking effect in the old
priests body and calling forth scream of
agony which will forever haunt the old
mission walls. Father Reynarius ran
from the garden, where he was watering
his flowers, and brought other brothers
from their homely task to find the head of
their order lying in pool of blood at the
foot of the stairway.
Drs. Hall and Otto were at once sum-
moned and an examination was made.
One bullet had struck the chin, cutting
the flesh, and second the chest at point
near the armpit Two penetrated the
body in the region of the abdominal
cavity. A fifth broke the thigh little
above the knee.
Father Ferdinand is man Of nearly 20
years and of extraordinary corpulence,
weighing 800 pounds, and this vast ac-
cumulation of flesh caused the search for
the bullets to be attended with unusual
difficulty.
At noon it was stated by both physicians
that the chances of recovery were faint,

the statement made recently by ex-Sena-
tor Goucher to the effect that the Governor
bad formed an alliance with Superin-
tendent Daggett of the San Francisco
mint in reference to electing successor
to Senator Stephen NJ. White. Mr.. Budd
said:
~ have never had any talk with Dag

only thing in the world that Goucher
could have based such statement on was
what occurred year ago when the Legis-
lature elected Perkins to the Senate. Dag
gett spoke to me about getting the compli-
mentary vote of the Democrats. That was
all there was to it, and we have never since
that time discussed the Senatorship in any
way"
When spoken to with reference to the
attacks made on him by John P Irish, the
Governor did not seem inclined to discuss
Mr.. Irish.
Il have nothing to say of him." said he.
"any more than have of any man whom

SAUSALITO, CAL, Feb. 27.-The Fish
Commissioners have been at work here
this week and as a result four Italian
fishermen were compelled to pay fines of
500 each for selling fish without license
The Italians have been doing consider
able business in this line lately and it
came to the attention of the Commits
sioners, who Immediately proceeded to
capture them. They came to Sausalito
and hired the swift launch Rustler and
and went out after the men. The Italians
did not understand the meaning of so
much excitement until they were threat
ened with arrest. The Commissioners
carefully explained their cause of COM
plant, but the men seemed to consider it
joke.
When the officers demanded a fine of $40
the men lost all control of the English
language and refused to understand a
word that was said. At last the officers
pulled out some legal documents which
seemed to have the desired effect, for the
fishermen drew out their well-flled purses
and paid the shining twenties over to the
Fish Commissioners, who departed after
giving decided instructions for the Italians
to follow in the future.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Feb. 27.-One of the
largest labor strikes ever inaugurated in
this city is now on in earnest. Five thou
sand members of the United Garment
workers Organization remained away
from work to-day. This general strike was
caused by the manufacturers refusing to
recognize the organization.
The clothing manufacturers claim to be
but little affected by the strike. They say
the work for the spring trade is all done,
and that months rest of the present
workers would not materially injure busi-
ness.
The strikers spent the larger part of the
day in organizing. They appointed a
settling" committee, consisting of tel
members, one from each union, and will
remain ready to receive overtures from the
manufacturers. 1t is claimed by the
strikers that overtures have already been
received from four firms. Both sides are
firm and claim to be confident of success.
Directly and indirectly 10000 persons are
affected by the strike.

death of Bishop Manogue year ago. was
tonight officially informed of his appoint
ment to the bishopric.
Several friends of Father Grace called
tonight to congratulate him on his good
fortune, and to express their qualification
at his appointment to such an important
post of honor in the church which he
represents. Father Grace received the
news with his accustomed modesty:
While fully appreciating the high honor
which the spiritual head of the Catholic
church has conferred upon him, he has
keen realization of the heavy responsible
ity it entails. AS a matter of fact, he was
not desirous OF being promoted to the
bishopric, but like a good soldier he stood
ready to do the bidding of his superiors.
The official notice of his appointment
will be received with great satisfaction by
the members of his flock, and even outside
of Catholic circles.
Bishop Grace was born in County Wex-
ford. Ireland, in 1912. He received his
earlier education in the private schools of
his native place, then at st. Peters, Wex-
ford, and afterward became a student at
All Hallows College in Dublin.
He was ordained to the priesthood in
1867, and in September of that year came
to California. His father, James Grace,
was of Norman extraction, being a de-
scendanS of the famous Raymond LIE Gros
of the twelfth century.
Father Grace's first pastorate in this
State was at Red Bluff, Tehama County.
He built the Convent of Mercy there and
was subsequently stationed at Grass Val
