He Is Jumped Upon and
Bruised Without Any
Warning.
His Mother Says That Religious
Feeling Caused the As
sault.
Affidavits Have Already Been Filed
and an Inves stigation Will
Soon F low.

A strange report comes from San Quen-
tin OF an attempt to murder Convict
Warren E. Price, the well.known A. P. A.
writer and editor of The Light.
About week ago. the story runs, a
murderous assault was made upon him,
according to Mrs. Thomas, his mother
Price had scarcely been in the peniten-
tiary week. having been sentenced for
eighteen months for sending obscene mat
ter through the mails, when he was
pounced upon and badly bruised by GER
tain convicts that took executions to
Prices religious ideas. His mother says
that her son would probably have been
killed but for the bravery of Convict
Lambert, former Clerk of the Oakland Po-
lice Court.
Price and Lambert, as the story runs,
were stationed in a short corridor through
which the prisoners who are em ployed at
the jutemill are marched on going to
work. The duty OF Lambert was to count
the men as they filed through marrow
gate by which entrance to the corridor is
gained. Price was ordered TO keep tally
OF the count on slate. 1t was IN this COZ
ridor that the attack on Price occurred.
The hall is narrow and short. AT one
end is a gate which is wide enough to ad-
NIT but one man at time. At the other
end Is the entrance to the jutemill, In
which 700 men are employed.
at moment when the guards view of
Price and Lambert was obscured by the
long file OF men an attack was made on
Price. 1t was. according to Guard Dan
Sullivan, one of the worst rows that nas
occurred since the prison began. After
the row was over, says Mrs. Thomas,
whose information comes from her son, a
knife with a six-inch blade was found on
the floor.
Mrs. Thomas said last night: "Priest
Lagan has advised all the prisoners of his
faith to keep their hands off Warren,
and they may be silent for a long time"
The report is that Murderer McNulty
and prisoner named O'Brien made the
most vigorous assault on the prisoner,
jumping upon him and trying to kill
him.
Captain Jameson welded his club
vigorously and prevented any further dis
turbance after the first assault. Men Nulty
claimed to be one OF the assistants, that he
did all he could to shield Price.
Captain Jameson and Convict Lam bert
prevented the convicts from seriously in
jurng the prisoner.
There is no attern pit on the part of many
convicts to hide their hatred for the man
who was convicted for selling obscene
works. a full report of the matter, with
Prices version, is sexpected in few days.
Price was not badly hurt and his only
injuries consist of bruises.
1t is stated on the part. of some of
Prices friends that the fracas was merely
the result OF personal animosity between
the ex-publisher and one of his fellow
convicts.

AN INTERMITTENT HEART
STOPPED EVERY THIRD BEAT
But Mrs. Strope's Heart Now No Longer

From the Leader, Cleveland. ohio.

In large, comnodious house at No 1O4
Huntington street, eveland, Ohio, lives Mrs.
Emily A. Strope, widow OF the late X. NJ.
Strope, and she is the mother of young man
who has been and is now one of this cIty's
successful and energetic pharmacists Mrs
Strope, who has late!y recovered from serious
porter regarding her late illness stated as
follows:
1.-TWO years ago I had my first experience
with DR.. Williams Pink Pills For long
time was troubled with an ailment which I
feared would eventually drive me crazy un-
less rid myself OF it. 1t will sound strange,
no doubt. to some. but my heart did not beat
as 1t hould. Its action was Irregular. There
would be two pulsations, or perhaps
three, and then sudden cess alton.
My heart seemed to rest for the period
its action. Sometimes such lapses would
not be so frequent as that but scarcely
day passed that they did not occur It felt
as though SOM ething would strike the heart
with great torce and push it out OF place
During that period, whenever l lay down to
sleep or rest, my hands would become per-
iectly numb and helpless. l could feel the
temporary paralysis coming over them, but /
could do nothing which would prevent it. Ny
feet were affected in like manner and had
considerable difficulty in walking when su oh
spell had possession of me. Naturally that
state OF affairs com pletely upset nv nerves.
and any one whose nervous system is well
nigh shattered can appreciate and under
stand the misery, chiefly mental, which / en-
dured. l lost much sleep and rest and often
was compelled from sheer exhaustion to sit
down during the day to obtain some repose
But as soon as did SO felt that numb sensa-
ton come over my hands and feet, and 1
rocked violently in my chair to drive IL away,
but frequently to no avail.
"One DAY my son, who was keeping drug
store at the time, brought me home some of
Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People and
advised me to take them for my heart trouble

cured me, for now my heart beats regularly

BERKELEY, CAL, April 16-The Ag-
ricultITal building of the State Univsr-
sity, with its contents. one of the most
valuable structures on the grounds, was
destroyed by fire this afternoon, the
flames causing a cash loss variously esti-
mated at from $15, 600 to $40 900. and con-
sumlng a quantity of statistical docu-
ments, specimens and scientific reports
that were invalua BILE and cannot be re-
placed.
The fire was discovered few minutes
after l o'clock, when classes were Just as
sembling Tor the afternoon recitations.
All the students at once ran for the scene
Of the conaagration and the men joined
forces in lively battle with the flames
They entered the building and saved all
The movable that could be carried or
thrown to the ground.
For fifteen minutes books documents,
instruments and specimens showered from
all the windows of the structure, each
room being filed with excited students
intent upon saving what they could. In
the general confusion even fire-exting uish-
ers were thrown from the windows and
many delicate instruments were spoiled.
Of the books and pa pers hurled from the
building many were subsequently burned,
being set on fire by falling EN- bers.
Professor Charles Howard Shirn and
Mrs. Shinn were in the building
when the fire broke out The alarm was
gwen by Webster '9S and Denicke, and the
college tlre brigade was called out by
James Carpenter. The fire brigade has
been drilling recently under Captain KeiI-
ner and responded quickly to the call
made upon il. =
The town fire companies were also sent
for, and soon the entire fire-fghting force
of Berkeley was at the building.
The firemen found scene OF lively
work when they arrived, students and fac
ulty alike being busy saving portable prop
erty.
Professor Plehn of the department of
political economy had a wheelbarrow
with which he did efficient service. Lieu
tenant Winn of the military department,
Professor Shinn of the forestry station
and a. P. Hayne of the department OF
vlticulture were az work with about 200
students carrying desks, books, instru-
ments, papers and whatever they could
lay their hands ON out of reach of the
flames.
Upward of 1000 people, large proper
tion of them students and mem bers CT the
faculty, were gathered around South Hall
watching the blaze, which at that time
reached high into the air.
The regular hremen hastily got their
hose ready for work, aided by the col
legians. 1t was necessary to go about 800
feet for water, and the placing OF hose
consumed much time.
The tire-tghters directed their water at
different parts of the building, and soon

volume OF black smoke, but the fire was
too well started TO be more than slightly
delayed IN its work of destruction.

stored, and remained with buckets and

the flames.
The heat was most intense, but the COL

NOE VALLEY PROGRESS,
East of the Twin Peaks Is Adding to
the City's Wealth in Inn
provements

That section OF the warm belt known as Noe
Valley, which lies at the eastern lope OF the
Twin Peaks, is making wonderful improve
ment in the settlement of a prosperous class of
citizens who have transformed the valley from
&C cattle run into an improved section of the
City by the erection OF handsome dwellings
The only school building in this section is
the James Lick School. on Twenty-fifth and
Noe streets, and this is far too small to ac-
commodate the scholars living on the eastern
edge of the valley.
To remedy this crowded condition a vacant
grocery-store on the corner of Jersey and Noe
streets has been rented by the School Direc-
tors as temporary place for the overflow.
But even this provision fails to meet the re-
quence, those residing The west of Castro
street have asked the directors for building

The PLUMBER of a Conquest.

One Of the Washington rorre-
spoudents writes, "tbat the sup
porters of the administration and
other advocates OF annexation are
very anxious to secure the earliest
possible consideration of the treaty
with Hawaii" and that Senator
Davis, chairman OF the Com mittee
on Foreign Relations, announces bis
intention of pressing annexation at
the earliest possible moment" But
there is no treaty with Hawaii" be-
fore the Senate, ia the American
sense of the term. There is, in the
American sense OF the term, no Ha-
waii except the inhabitants OF Ha-
wall. A transfer Of populated terri
tory to foreign power means, in
the American sense, transfer with
the consent or by the desire OF the
people. The document called "the
treaty with Hawaii" before the
Senate is in reality an agreement
with band of pseudo religious ad-
venturers, who have seized friend
ly state, overturned friendly and
harmless Government by fraud, and
now want TO make the United
States the receiver Of their plumber.
Their plea that they have done
this deed in the interest OF civiliza-
ton, owing to their own superiority
in enlightenment to the masses,
would justify the overthrow by pro
fessors and ministers of the govern
ment of two-thirds OF the States in
this Union. 1t would justify a
coup d'etat by the Mugwumps in
New York City and make all "su-
perior people" rulers Of America,
with the power Of transferring terri
tory to Great Britain or Germany.
The plea is he more brazen because
it is confession of the failure Of
their own work as missionaries. The
depravity and heathenism which
they assign as reason for annexa-
tion are the very things which they
and their fathers we're sent to cure
fifty years ago by simple minded
Americans The use of these THU gs
now to justify the plumber Of the
natives, after the missionaries have
drawn salaries for half century for
their conversion, is the quintescence
Of audacty. We cannot recall
similar case. Conquest by tired ard
disappointed Christina missionaries
is a new thing in history.-New York

Obnoxious to Republicanism

Annexation is obnoxious tn our
scheme OF government. II il the

enemies OF our republican priuci-
Piles, and is urged by gang of self
expatrated schemers who put their
selfish interests against the future
Of the republic. 1t cannot be iusti-
fed upon strategic, commercial or
moral principles, and if time be
given to divert public attention to
it it will be defeated, as was the San
Domingo proposition.
There are things above bread and
meat. The spirit OF selfish money
getting is not higher than the aspir-
atoms of liberty. The men who
have absorbed to themselves in Ha-
waii the opportunities which be
longed to the people, who boast
that they own everything in the ISL
ands, that the natives are not to be
considered because they are not
rich, and are poor because they have
been robbed, are seeking now to
place their gains under the protec-
ton OF this Government and to
sanctify their theft by hiding it un-
der the stars and stripes. Let them
stay where they are to settle their
accountability with the people
whom they have despoiled, and if
they offer the sovereignty they have
usurped to any other nation, let us
under the Monroe doctrine compel
them to lie on the bed they have
made and garnished until they feel
