WANTS FULL INVESTIGATION.
TRUSTEE PRESTON REGARDING
THE lone SCHOOL.
Will Consent IF 1t Il Impartial and
Goes Back to the Be-
ginning.

| SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. IA spec
ial dispatch to the Chronicle" from
Nevada City. says:
| Z. NJ Preston of this city, one of the
Trustees OF the Preston School of In
dustry at lone. last night received from
Trustee Tyrrell of Sacramento a letter
i demanding an immediate and complete
investigation to prove either the truth
OF falsity of the accusation that inmates
| OF the school are treated in q brutal
manner.
| Ex-senator Preston to-day forwarded
/ TO DR.. Tyrrell a letter in which he de-
clines 10 take part in an investigation
unless the inquiry is searching and I'M
partial. The letter is emphatic in tone,
and when read between the lines hints
at a condition OF affairs, which, If prob
| ed, will be productive OF a sensation.
1t intfmates that the present troubles
| began with the change of administra-
ton at the school,
! The letter reads in part: Permit me
to assure you that, While / realize that
there has been and is just cause for
some of the public criticism of the pres
ent discipline and methods of conduct
ing the school. yet, on the other hand,
| firmly believe that a public investiga-
| ton at the present time would be Ill
advised and inexpedient for the follow
| ing reasons:
F1rst-The Board of Trustees. in its
official capacity has full authority and
/ ability to correct and remedy any and
| all abuses of discipline and manage
ment which prevail at the school.
'Second-A united effort on the part
| of the Trustees TO correct any and all
the causes of mismanagement will be,
| or can be, made TO be effectual and
will be more conducive to good govern
ment than public investigation with
| its necessary decentralization of all the
departments of the institution.
'Third-The expenses of conducting a
thorough and honest investigation will
seriously impair the funds appropriat-
ed for the institutions maintenance;
and,
| 'Fourth-The rancor engendered by a
public investigation may so demoralize
the inmates that line of sentinels will
be required to prevent a general stam-
pede of the boys from the premises.
For the foregoing reasons l am rad
ically opposed to such an investigation
as is proposed by yourself, but at the
same time, if a majority of the members
OF the board, in their wisdom, decide
that an investigation is the only ra-
tional way to ward off further criticism,
l VIII consent to participate in the pro-
ceedlngs only on the express under
standing and assurance that the pro-
| eeedings shall be absolutely impartial,
thorough and searching. We must be
permitted to take testimony from State
officers, each of the trustees expert ae-
countants, officers and employees of the
school, and such other reputable citi-
zens as can give any reliable informa-
ton as to the causes which have cul-
minated in the alleged gross misman-
agement of the affairs of the school

THE GULDENsUPPE MURDER

1helr trial will begin in Long Island City
before Judge Maddox. The story OF
the crime bristles with details of the
degeneracy of human beings.
NO murder was ever more carefully
planned nor did murderers ever take
more pains to cover up their tracks by
effectually disposing Of the remains OF
their victim. Yet within twenty-four
hours it was known to the world that
murder had been committed and the
pursuit Of the butchers had begun
Two of those youths of the lower east
side Of New York, who spent their sum
mer days in the East River or on the
string pieces Of the piers. were the acci-
dental discoverers of the horrible crime.
The boys We're John MCGUIRE and Jas.
McKenna. They were preparing for
their afternoon dip" June 9th at the
foot of East Eleventh street, when the
sight of a rather strange looking bun
die floating with the tide hastened their
movements. In a moment they We're in
the water and towing the bundle in
shore. Once back on the dock, the BOYS
lost no time in cutting the stout cord
which was wound around their prize
and undoing the roll of oil cloth which
formed the outer covering. But they
had not reached the contents of the bun
die. There We're still other coverings of
heavy brown paper and cheese cloth.
When those had been removed there
was yell of terror There ON the pier
lay the mutilated trunk of man with
the arms folded across the breast. 1t

ALBUQUERQUE IN. Nd, Nov. T.
The train which was held up at Grants
ninety-six miles west of here last night
at 7:5Q, reached Albuquerque at 11:30
this morning. None of the train crew
nor passengers were killed nor injured.
The amount Of the express company's
loss cannot be learned, but it is known
to be large.
The Santa Fe Pacific Railroad Com
pany lost a combination baggage and
express car, day coach and chair
car. The holding up Of the train was
accomplished by two men who boarded
the train at Grants. At the stock
yards about a mile east they put on
the air and began shooting at a num-
Der of tramps that were scattered along
the train. Most of the passengers ard
many of the trainmen thought that
some of the crew were having fun with
the hobos and were not alarmed until
the robbers We're in possession of the
train.
The hold ups began shooting into the
engine cab and Harry McCarty, the en-
gineer, jumped off and went into the
rear sleeper. Henry Abel, the fireman,
was grazed across the cheek by bull
let and was compelled to obey the ord
ers Of the robbers. He was ordered to
uncouple the express car and it and the
cars preceding it We're pulled up the
track for a short distance to. the point
where the work was done. When the
shooting began Messenger Lord left the
express car. locking the door behind
him and went into one of the cars in
the rear of the train. Conductor Aid
rich went back to Grants to telegraph
for help as soon as the cars were un-
coupled The rest of the crew have
not yet been accounted for.
When the robbers found the express
car locked they resorted to giant pow
der to open it and Were obliged to fire
three shots before it gave way. On
opening the car they went at once to
the through safe and blew n large hole
in it with one shot. The fireman was
compelled to hold the sack in which
they placed the money. They secured
all that could be conveniently carried
by one man and paid no attention to
watches and jewelry which we've scat
tered throughout the car. The job
took the robbers about an hour No
horses were seen but ii IS presumed
that a confederate was waiting with
them at some point near by. When
they left the fireman got on the engine
and started back for the res. of the
train. While he was firing up, as he
went back. he did not notice how close
he was to the other cars and struck
them so hard that a stove in the day
coach was overturned. Three of the
cars, the express, the day coach and
hot, tN.,
fire. Most of the baggage was saved,
although there was some loss. The
contents of the three safes which were
rot cracked We're almost entirely de-
stroyed by fire. No clew whatever has
heen found as to the identity Of The
robbers. The General Manager of the
santa Fe Pacific will, it is understood
ofer reward of $500 each for their
bodies, dead or alive. There is sun
rosed to be two or more of them above
