ENDED HIS DAYS nv VICTORIA.
Death of Alabama George" Who Served
on the Cruiser From Which He
Was MckHQmed

VICTORIA, B. c., Jan. 26.-There
died last night man whose nickname,
Alabama George" recalls the famous
Confederate cruiser which played such
havoc among Northern shipping during
the civil war in the Uniled States. ''Ala-
bama Georges" name was Hag bert Hansen,
and he was a Norwegian by birth. In his
younger days he joined the Alab bama, and
as one of its crew helped in the capture
of quite number of YANKEES vessels. Only
few days ago he recalled the fact that
when the Alabama was off the coast OF
England, a short time before it met the
Kearsarge, a tug came from shore ar
took him and several others of the crew
to land. When they were paid off his
share was $1,000 in prize money.
Alabama George" lived in cabin be-
hind the Jubilee saloon. On Saturday
evening, while sitting in chair in the
saloon, he was instantly taken Ill. A
policeman was called, and the ex-Con-
federate was picked up and carried to his
bed, but he died almost Immediately and
before medical aid could be secured.
Heart disease was his ailment.
He had been asked by a brother
in North Dakota to GO there and live, and
only few days before his death ticket
came, of which he had intended to make
use this week.

SAN JOSE DIVORCE SUITS.
Mrs. Clara Knicker6Ocker Files Cruelty
charges-Decree for Mrs.
PUck

SAN JOSE, CAL, Jan. 26.-Mrs. Clara
Knickerbocker has begun suit for di-
vorce from E. Knickerbocker: the dealer
in ice, on the ground of extreme cruelty.
They were married in 1872, and have three
children. She charges her husband with
cruelty treating her for the past several
years, and cites one occasion when he
knocked her down with club and kicked
her. On another occasion the plalnlltf
was driven from home and forced to seek
refuge with friends, but subsequently re-
turned on the promise OF defendant TO
treat her better.
Knickerbocker is estimated to be worth
$50, 900, and plaintiff asks for $3.50 month
alimony and the custody OF the children.
Mrs. Alice Buck was to-day granted a
divorce, on the ground of cruelty, from
Dr. Francis Z. Buck, by Judge Lorigan.
They reside at May field. Bucks crueity
consisted of severe bodily Ill treatment,
and on one occasion he was arrested and
sentenced to sixty days In the County
Jail for beating his wife. An appeal OF
the case is now pending. The plaintiff
was awarded the custody of six minor
children. The defendant was ordered to
pay $50 per month alimony, although
none had been asked for.

vet strong enough to welcome his return,
but she is without money to pay his
passage.

SANTA BARBARA DEBATES.
Men of Learning Discuss Economic
Problems Before the Social
Inhnr Snciefu

ENOUF OUCISOs
SANTA BARBARA, CAL, Jan. 26.-No
local controversy in recent years has
created such a lively interest as the social
problem now being debated under the
auspices of the Social Labor Party OF
Santa Barbara. This society started last
November with small mem bership, but
now the largest hall is too small to ac-
ommodate its memb bers. and those drawn
to its meetings by curiosity.
The principal speaker last night was
f. NJ. Galhher. who read on More or
less Slate Control" which brought forth
a long controversy and searching criticism.
The import of the paper was that the
minority, being the better educated and the
wiser must replace in power the majority
which was rushing headiong after an I'M
possible happiness that no Legislation
could obtain. H. j. Weeks ridicuied the
idea that the majority could not be
trusted. He in turn was followed by dozen
others, some among the most talented OF
Santa Barbara's people, who are now
thoroughly interested in this movement.
The Rev. f. S. Forbes closed the de-
bate IN sarcastic vein, stating that ne
dld not see why poor man snould De
favored more than a rich one; why man
who stole a State should be confined IN
the United States Senate and man who
stole loaf of bread be supported In a
State hotel; why man who stole rail-
road should be compelled to ride IN
palace car. while man who stole ride
should live at public hotel supported oy
the people. de said these things might
be natural and that the leopard could not
change his spots. but he thought the
people could spot the leopard.

Paines celery compound is working
miracles in the cure of disease!
So says a recent article by the fore most
medical essayist in Boston.
Nothing shows more concIusively," he

it and recommend it, both in public and

Tore Kerm's Grand Jury.

BAKERSFIELD, CAL, Jan. 26.-The
last OF the famous 'Iong'' Grand Jury
indictments met an inglorious fate last
night, when it took trial jury less than
five minutes to find Superintendent
of Schools Harrell not guilty oil
the charge of misappropriating public
funds. The indictment was based upon
the evidence of Expert Edgar Moore
of Los Angeles, and he had become SO
thoroughly dlscredited in the previous
cases that no weight was attached to his
testimony. The acquittal followed almost
as matter of course. Every indictment
found by that Grand Jury has now been
DISPOSED of, and the result has in every
case been the same-prompt acquittal as
soon as the trial jury could take vote.

.ROAS TED IN HIS
BURNING HOME
Nathan B. Dimmick's Body
Found Wrapped in
Flames.
Murder or Suicide of an Aged
Capitalist of Santa
Cruz.
Kerosene Oil Poured Over the Floors
of His Dwelling to Hasten
Its Destruction.

SANTA CRUZ, CAL, Jan. 26. = The
body of Nathan B. Dimmick, burned to a
crisp, was discovered in his burning
dwelling east OF this city this afternoon
by two neighbors. The surroundings in
dicated either murder or suicide.
The body was lying face downward on
the parlor floor. Both that room and The
bedroom adjoining were ablaze, but the
firemen soon quenched the flames, which
did not reach the other portions of the
building. A large tin bucket near the
body appeared TO have contained kero-
sene.
Dimmick was "a years of age and had
been married twice. His first wife died a
year ago and two months ago he married
Mrs. II. B. Herrick. He was well-to-do,
and the couple lived on his income. They
were preparing to move to San Diego.
About o'clock this afternoon Mrs.
Dimmick came to town, leaving Mr.. Dim
ache and said he would lie down and
sleep. His gold watch, which was found
near the body, had stopped at 2:45, indi-
eating the probable time of his death.
a.. A. Day, neighbor, saw Dimmick
enter the house from the rear. Five
minutes later the fire broke out. Day gave
the alarm, and with several neig b bors,
burst in the door.
In the sitting-room they found a FIVE
gallon Gil can with large hole cut In the
top through which the oil had been
emptied.
Another can in the woodshed had been
cut into with spade and part of its con-
tents poured out, presumably into the
bucket found in the parlor. A broom
standing near by bore evidence of having
been used to spread the oil.
The position. of the body does not favor
the theory of suicide. for which no ap-
parent cause existed.
On the other hand the gold watch and
$1S in gold and silver found on the body
are evidence that If murder were COM
mitted the object was not robbery. The
body was so badly burned that it could
not be ascertained if any wounds had
been inflicted. The men who ran to the
rescue are quite positive that all the doors
were locked on the inside.

CREEDS TAUGHT
IN THE SCHOOLS
Bishop Montgomery Says
the Law Is Openly
Violated.
Protests Against Sectarian Re-
ligious Services Before
Pupils.
The Preaching of a Baccalaureate
Sermon Calls Forth a Spirited
Communication.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Jan. 26.-Bishop
George Montgomery OF the Catholic do
cese of Monterey and Los Angeles pub
hshed an open letter in the Herald of this
city to-day which will be read with inter
est all over California, since it raises q
question of vital import to every citizen
of the State. The communication IN full
is as follows:
AS a citizen and taxpayer of this cityI beg
enough space in your paper to enter respect
tul protest against permitting our non-secta-
rian schools to be made feeders to sectarian
denominations, in plain violation OF the con-
stitution OF the State.
It seems to me that this sort of thing has
gone on about long enough. Time and time
again our daily papers have informed US that
at the closing exercises OF our schools the
minister OF some religious denomination ad-
dressed the classes. and, besides, it is a fact
well known that in many OF the public schools
of the State there are he'd religious exercises
as distincuyely sectartRn as any church serv-
ice. Let those who want sectarian schools
build them, equip and support them at their
own expense, but not at the expense OF the
public.
This writing has been suggested by an item
in this mornings issue of your paper. II is
there stated that prominent minister OF this
city Yesterday addressed the baccalaureate
sermon to the students OF the Normal School,"
The sermon, as reported, was clearly sectarian.
1t was delivered, not in the school buildinT,
but in church, where "a block OF seats in front
of the pulpit was reserved for the graduates
and their teachers" 1t was delivered on Sun
day at the regular Sunday service, with all
the appendages, it may be presumed, of a
church service.
The characters used in illustration were our
blessed Lord and st. Paul. 1 think l believe
as strongly in those personages and their
teachings as does the speaker of the occasion,
and l believe that that teaching ought to be
the rule of our lives. But I do not, therefore,
think it the proper thing to thrust my belief
before the students OF a non-sectarian school,
supported, pro rata, Dy the taxes OF Jews and
non-belieYers.
The constitution Of the State guarantees to
the Jew and the non-believer that their chill
dren shall not be taught anybody's religious
creed, as it guarantees that same immunity to
every other parent
1t is supposed that the children there are
taught respect for the laws and obedience to
them, and I confess that it seems to me a
strange way OF inculcating that respect and
obedience-by violating them. 1t is not right;
it is not honest. Yery respectfully,
GEORGE MONTGOMERY,
Bishop of Monterey and Los Angeles.
