Rhodes Faction Arrayed Against
the Forces of Daroux
and Rider.
EACH CLAIMS A VICTORY
Parade the Streets and Burden the
Air With Triumphant
Shouting.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Aug. I'm q
majority of cases the Republican ward
caucuses called to select delegates to the
county convention passed off tamely to-
night. The issue was one of leadership,
as between Frank Rhodes on the one side
and Daroux and Rider on the other.
There was little If any contest in the up
town wards, and in the First and Second
wards no caucuses were held.
It is conceded that Frank Rhodes will
reign supreme in the First, and will not
have excitement enough to even stir his
blood. But over in the Second Ward, it is
believed that there will be warm, very
warm, work. 1t seems that Daroux is
badly handicapped.
As far as can be learned, he has none OF
his adherents on the election boards. nor
are there seemingly any of the old-time
ward workers with him.
Yet Daroux is very much in evidence,
and although saying nothing, is saving
wood. His opponents are watching his
every move in fear that in some possible
manner he may be enabled to snatch vic
tory from apparent defeat.
Parties of adherents of both factions
paraded the streets after the caucuses,
shouting the slogans of their respective
sections. All concede that the battle IN
the Second tomorrow will be extremely
sultry.

MERGED HOTEL TRAGEDY,
Baron John Won Heekeren Ends
His Life With Knife
and Poison.
Wearied Of a Struggle for Existence
When He Could Not Find
Employment.

MERGED, CAL, Aug. 7.-Baron John
Won Heekeren, the last son of Baron Won
Heekeren OF Nymegen, Holland, was
found dead in his room in the Palace
lodging-house last evening. The proprie-
tor of the place had not seen him during
the day, and in the evening went to his
room to investigate. On attempting TO
enter he found the door secured by chair
on the inside. He forced 1t open and en-
tered and found Won Heekeren lying on
the bed, dead. He had slashed himself
in the abdomen with pocket-knife. An
empty morphine bottle was found near by.
1t is supposed he took dose of poison be-
fore attempting to disembowel himself.
Won Heekeren was about 80 years old.
He came to America five years ago, and
arrived in Merced from Fresno six months
ago, upon being released from jail for an
attempt to shoot o man. He is said to
have slashed himself with a razor with
suicidal intent once before.
Dependency because he failed to secure
employment is supposed to have been the
cause of the suicide.

SAN JOSE LAWYERS FIGHT
W. P. Veuve and O. O. FeIkner

Optics.
Come to Blows After Quarrel Over
Recent Suit in
Court.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Aug. 7-Attorneys W..
P. Veuve and 0. 0. Felkner came to blows
this morning in the main corridor of the
Hall of Records building, and although
the men were soon separated, things were
pretty well mixed while the affair lasted.
Several blows were struck, accompanied
by an unusual amount of loud talk, but
honors were easy at the call of time. Each
of the combatants received blow over the
eye, which left slight discoloration.
The bad feeling grew out of the prosecu-
ton of A. L. Veuve. brother of the attor-
ney, by Felkner on a claim of $50 owed to
e. ]. Baker. Veuve considered that
Felkner had harrased his brother by his
persistence in trying to collect the bill.
This morning the men met in the corridor
and FelKner bowed to Veuve. This aroused
Veuve s. ire and he stopped and exclaimed /:
II don't want you to ever speak to me
again!'
One word led to another, and Veuve in
sinuated that Felkner, who is an ex-
preacher, did not adhere to the truth as it
was laid down in the Scriptures.
Felkner then struck Veuve over the eye,
and the latter retaliated with like blow.
They were warming up to their work
when bystanders interfered.

Los ANGELES, CAL, Aug. Z. J


Los ANGELES, CAL, Aug. Z. J
A sequel to the shocking tragedy of yes
terday in East Los Angeles, involving the
death OF Mrs. Jennie r. Snyder, late OF
Seattle, and the suicide of her psramour,
William J. Relland, was the arrest here
this afternoon of DR.. Andrew s. Shorb, a
wealthy physician, on charge of murder.
The warrant was issued at the instance OF
Health Officer Steddom of this city, and is
the result of the Coroners inquest, the
verdict being that Mrs. Jennie r. Snyder
died from the effects of internal hemor-
rhage caused by criminal operation per-
formed by DR.. A. S. Shorb.
Immediately after DR.. Shorb's arrest, he
was taken before Police Justice Morrison,
who, on recommendation of the District
Attorneys Office, released him on SIS, 600
bail and fixed next Thursday forenoon as
the time for the preliminary examination.
The news of DR.. Shorb's arrest quickly
spread through the town and produced
genuine sensation. The alleged criminal
is an old, respected resident of this city,
and of the regular school of medicine.
His practice for years has been among
the best families of the city and county.
The outcome of the arrest will be watched
with intense interest. His bail bond was
signed by four of Los Angeles wealthy
citizens.
This morning John Paul, the under
taker, found a note which was written
yesterday afternoon by W. J. Relland,
who shot himself last evening. 1t is as
follows:
These few lines will tell all. Imust go where
my loved one is. My disease has puzzled the
doctors, it is so intricate. Isuppose my folks
will want my remains. Lay me beside my
loved one. My home address is 1909 Ash
street, Seattle, WASH, care Mrs. Carrie Relland.
A telegram from the father of the de-
ceased was received by the undertaken this
morning directing that the remains be
embalmed and sent to Seattle. The de-
ceased was member of Sprague Tent No.
IL, K. o. T. M, in which he is insured for
$1,000, made payable to his father and
mother.

ESCAPES NEAR FOWLER,
Convict George Hector Jumps
From a Swiftly Moving
Train.
He Takes Advantage of an Officer S
Carelessness in Leaving Him
Unguarded.

FRESNO, CAL, Aug. George Hector,
a convict from Los Angeles who was be-
ing taken by Deputy Sheriff Barney to
San Quentin, escaped from train this
morning between Selma and Fowler in
this county. The officer did not have his
prisoner handcuffed, and Hector got away
with comparative ease.
The Deputy Sheriff had left the prisoner
in seat at one end of the car while he
went to the other end to get a dSink.
Hector took advantage of the situation
and quietly slipped out on the platform
without attracting any ones attention and
swung off the steps. The train was going
at full speed when the prisoner made his
plunge for liberty.
Barney did not notice Hector's disap-
pearance until he went back to the seat in
which he had left him. 1t was the over
land train and the seats were filled with
passengers. Some of the passengers, who
had not known that Hector was prisoner,
told the Deputy Sheriff that they had seen
Hector go out on the platform.
Another account of the escape states that
it did not occur in Fresno County at ali
but in Tulare or probably Kern. Accord
ing to brakeman on the train, the Deputy
Sheriff had fallen asleep and the prisoner
then slipped away from him. The train
hands say that Barney did not awaken for
an hour ana half afterwards, VIII en- the
train in Fresno County.
Deputy Sheriff Barney got off the train
at Fowler and enlisted the assistance OF
the Constables of that place. They ira
versed the country between Selma and
Fowler. but could find no trace OF the fugi-
tive. Sheriff Scott was Immediately noti-
fed of the escape and put his deputies at
work Immediately. Up to tonight no
trace of Hector had been found.
Hector was under sentence of twelve
years for burglary and is an ex-convict.
He is considered desperate character.

The last Legislature passed bill au-

transfer comprises the line from Smiths

away. The bill appropriated $1,000, which
became available three weeks ago. Tuck
Holdridge of this place was appointed

of bridges and eulverts two weeks ago.
More money is needed to build falling
walls.
The Governor is here on tour of per-

guest of Mr.. and Mrs. Watson; thence to

fused to GO. He was again excommunicated.
He was summoned to go TO some other place
other than Rome to meet Gregory, but ne re-
fused to go and summoned Gregory to come
down from the throne.
One Christmas eve Gregory began the cele-
bration of the mass in the Church of st. Mary S
in Rome. In the middle of the mass an armed
force rode up and took Gregory away and were
going to take him to Germany. The alarm
bells were rung. The gates were closed. The
people sought for and found Gregory q pris-
oner in tower. The people stormed the
tower. Within the tower infamous man and
still more infamous woman threatened Greg
ory and struck him, commanding that he
should take off the communication from
Henry the Fourth. He refused, saying that he
stood for the freedom of the church, and he
Gould not remove the ban.
+ The people called for Gregory and were build
ing a mound of slaves to reach the tower.
Then the miserable man fell on his knees, as
such men have always done, and said Holy
father, forgive mel"
The people carried Gregory back to the
church, where he finished the mass. There was
after this open war,
The speaker then passed rapidly over
the history of that period and said that at
Canossa Henry w whined like a whipped
From the day of Gregory it was not possible
for kings and emperors to rule the church ami
the people with rod of iron. 1t was not only
for the church that Gregory fought Henry
1t was for the people. II now we have the
right to stand up and speak what we will, it
is because of what was done by Gregory. For
several hundred years the church had
period of glorious prosperity. Then came In
imitators of Henry. They were rulers who try
to rule human consclences. They were like
Darius Green. They thought that they could
fly. There are State churches. One OF the
great echoes of Gregory is the Declaration OF
Independence
The are some still who would like to rule
over religion and over the church and over
your consciences, and to get you under their
thumbs l know that you don't mean to let
them get you there But if they do look out,
for they say that they will not let you have
any of the offices. Perhaps there will be dff-
ierent condition OF affairs next November.
There is small, a very small, number of men
who are in favor of investigating churches and
converts. If they would investigate all around
that would not be so bad, for they might in
vestigate themselves.
There are still those who think that the
state should interfere with the church. Let
every man who owns the name of Catholic be
at the polls next November and vote according
to his conscience. There is no better way TO
show your liberty than by the ballot. II there
were such questions running through the
country 200 years ago they would have caused
war. But now we discuss these questions at
the breakfast-table, at the dinner-table, at the
card-table, at all kinds of tables, and then we
go to the polls and cast those little white bal
lots-snowfiakes they are sometimes called
and revolution is effected Let us go out
from here tonight determined to show that
we understand and appreciate the work of
Gregory, the father of modern liberty.

1t was reported tonight by intimate
friends of DR.. and Mrs. Crowley, whose
sensational divorce few weeks ago was
the talk of society, that the doctor and
his ex-wife will soon approach the altar
and be again united.
Some days ago letter was received in
this city from Highland Springs, stating
that the doctor and his wife had been seen
together, and that reconciliation was
among the possibilities.
: Recent events have supported the theory
and tonight it was positively stated that
the olive branch had been held out and
accepted by both parties. For several
days past the doctor has made regular
calls at the home that was once his and
has regularly sent pretty bouquets. AL
these little secrets were contided py Mrs,
Crowley to her confidante, whom she had
had known since girlhood.
