Sad Sequel to a Camping
Outing Near Point
Bonita.
Otto D'Erlach. Young Art
Stndent, Disappears Over
a Cnff.
His Hat Fund en- the Rocks Be ow
by the Liie.Sav.ng Crew Last
Evening.

The pleasures of a camping party were
sadly marred yesterday by the disap-
Pearance OF one of their number under
circumstances that caused his companions
to believe that he had fallen over high
Gill near Point Bonita and was either
drowned or dashed to pieces on the rocks
below. On Saturday Otto ID Erlsch OF
3o2l Twentieth street, Joseph Palms, Nor
man Noah and George Apparth, all stu
dents at Hopkins Institute of Art. went to
Potato Cove to camp for couple OF days.
The cove is about half mile north of the
Point Bonita lighthouse, near the Golden
Gate, in Marin County.
All OF the campers are young men and
they had a good time up 10 yesterday
morning. when d'Erlach, who was of an
adventurous spirit, expressed the deter
mlnatlon 10 reach a certain rock on the
coast that had never been reached by the
way of the reef from the shore. He was
seen to start out and travel along high
cliff bordering the ocean. little late r
his companions began search for him,
but to no purpose, and the sltuat on was
reported to Lighthouse-keeper Brown.
About that time William Dillon of 80
California street, p. Hart, boatman, and
Richard David, ships ouifitter, reached
the lighthouse in boat and searched the
shore for several miles, but to no purpose.
When they returned the lighthouse
keeper put up the flag, union down, and
the signal of distress called out the life
saving station crew located near Fort
Point Although almost dark, they
pulled rapidly to the light and took on
one of D'Erlach's friends, and rowed
around to the point near where D'ErIach
was last seen.
After several attempts the brave life
savers landed one nf their mum ber at the
foot of the ragged 200-foot cliff. In little
while the life-saver found D'Erlach's hat
on the rocks, but the man could not be
found. If D. Erlach had fallen from the
cliff. as it is supposed that he did, his
boiy must have been carried out into the
ocean by the high tide and rough waves
that broke upon the shore. Darkness 5

He WILL RULE KOREA
Prince Eui Wha Comes to
America for Learn
ing.
Although the Second So He Is Gen
orally Looked Up as the
Future King.

Prince Eui Wha, second son of the ruler
of Korea, was among the passengers who
arrived on the Coptic yesterday evening.
The Prince has little of the traditional
royal appearance. The uninitiated might
we'll take the high-born lad, for be is well
under his m iority, for one OF the army OF
Japanese good boys who solicit through
the press positions as schoolboys.
Accompanying the Prince is young
man, apparently only few years his
senior, but who is accounted shrewd
diplomat in his own country. This Is
PAX Yong Kaui, who was attached to
the Korean Legation at Washington as
Charge d'Affaires. The diplomats pres
ent mission is no less exalted than that OF
chaperon extraordinary to the youth who
will, in all probability, some day, assume
the throne OF Korea.
PAX Yong Kaui explained for his royal
charge, for the latter knows no English,
that the object of the trip was TO place the
Prince IN some Eastern educational insti-
tuition, where he will take a three years
English course. No institution OF learn
ing has yet been chosen.
Although Eni Wha is the second
son the mental incapacity OF the heir APP
parent makes it highly probably that Eui
Wha will ascend the throne.
1t is for this reason that the King de-
sired mis- son TO obtain the best education
ogtainable. PAX Yong Kaui has been
iatrusted with the delicate mission OF de-
Gliding just where such an education can
be had.
Sing Sang Koo, a friend of the Prince,
accompanies him and the two will pursue
the same course of studies.

Gently arrived in this City from Yuma,
Arizona, tells a story regarding the Hoff-
man mys terry that will doubt interest
the Hawkshaws who are endeavoring TO
unravel the puZzling story OF the mef-
chants death.
AT time that Rice thinks must have
been only few moments before Hoffman
met his tragic death the miner was STROLL
ing down Market street toward the ferry.
He was going nowhere in particular, and
was not hurrying. He asserts that just as
he was passing the junction OF Market,
Bush and Battery street his attention was
attracted by two men, VINO were quarrel
ing Immediately in front OF Hoffman s
place of business. One of the men, the
shorter of the two, was shaking his fist at
the other in a threatening manner.
II paid no particular attention to
them" said Rice yesterday, "for thought
that it was just spat between a couple of
clerks over something that amounted to
nothing. L continued on down the street
for several blocks and then came back.
When l again reached the corner where
had previously heard the quarrel | noticed
that quite a crowd had collected there,
and that the people were excited about
something.
Quite naturally the first thing that
struck me was that those two men had
finished their quarrel with an out and out
fight. Joining the crowd l asked one of
the by-standers what was up, and was in
formed by him that a man had fallen
down an elevator shaft. While l was
there the ambulance drove up and Hoff-
man was carried out and placed in the
vehicle. | found then that the elevator
shalt story was wrong and that the man
had been shot-or rather that he had
Killed himself, as was the supposition then.
II thought no more OF the matter until
the next day wnen l read the accounts in
the papers. l was satisfied then that the
quarrel [ had witnessed had something to
DO with mans death, and it was not a
suicide az all. l never saw either of the
men before, and am not sure that l could
recognize them again, although l might
be d bic to do so. l have carefully scruti-
nized the portraits of Hoffman that have
appeared in the papers, but they are ell her
poor licensees of him or he was not one
OF the participants in that quarrel"

The other portion of the bullet ranged IN

making a clean wound which shows no
powder marks or burns.
While this shot NAV have for few mo-
menus stunned Hoffman, it was not
necessarily fatal nor of a character to
produce long-continued Inconvenience.
The third shot was then fired by pressing
the barrel OF the revolver tightly against
the feshY portion of the cheek. linen
close contact of the pistol with the cheek
is what prevented any poWder porhs
showing on the outside of the face.
This shot was the one that ended the
life of the deceased merchant. Where
the second shot entered the head Chief
Lees declares there were plain indications
OF singeing and powder marks.
During all these explanations Chief
Lees carefully refrained from saying that
Hoffman himself had fired these shots,
but was positive in asserting that he could
have fired them without inconve nience
or any unusual effort.

lis possession by Figel is explained by
that gentle eman.
He declared yesterday that Hoffman,
according to agreement between the part
ners, was entitled to draw certain fixed
amount per month for his personal and
family use and that during the past two
months Hoffman had drawn in varying
sums at different times an aggregate of
$500 over and above his stipulated allow
ance.
These amounts were not charged
against Hoffman until they had aggre-
gated $9500 When the charge was finally
made In the cash book by Figel the latter

these moneys were used for by Hoffm an

the very time that Figel was voyaging
toward his home in San Rafael.
In one case it was claimed on the
alleged authority of Mr. B iss, at whose
place Figel has been in the habit of hav-
ing his clothes made, that the book keeper
did not have an appointment with the
tailor on Tues day, as he stated to Chief
Lees
Mr.. Bliss now emphatically and indig-
nantly denies that he had said to any per-
son that Figel did not have an appoint
ment with nim to try on new suit of
clothes on Tuesday. He declares that
such appointment was made and that
be has distinct re collection OF it.
Chief Lees, while still refraining from
committing himself to the theory of sui
eide, is most strenuous in the assertion
that the wounds found Oh Hoffman could
have been inflicted by the deceased with
out his having assumed any unusual posi-
tion or INDUCED III any contortions. He
also ridiculed all the statements and theo-
rIes that have hitherto been advanced
that the shots were fired from some dis
tance.
His opinion is that the wounds were
inflicted at extremely close range
In TACT, that the pistol at each shot was in
contact with the face or head of Hoff-
man.
Chief Lees yesterday made an explana-
ton of how the wounds might have been
inflicted by Hoffman, using photographs
which had been oroered taken of the de-

the body was lying at the Morgue
According to his explanation the first
snot was fired with the right hand while
Holman was sitting with his right side
to his desk, resting his head upon his left
hand, with his elbow on the desk, the head
reclining toward the left. The shot passed
through The brim OF Hoffman's hat, strik-
ing the wall few inches above and at the
back of the desk, ,ricochetting thence to the
partition on the right of the desk and
thence TO chair, on the seat of which it
fell and where it was found
The powder from this discharge discol-
ored the under portion of the rim of the
hat and also the right side of the fore

changed the pistol to his left hand,
pressed the barrel against the upper por.

performance written to give the little
people e5Tortunities for the display of
their talents.
merry Tramps" is so full of panto-
mime that it is scarcely necessary to
know German in order to understand the
action. Since their last visit, too, the
hlIputians have learned a number of
catchy words and phrases in English,
which they use frequently with good ef-
feet. The play is scarcely so funny as
previous Dieces in which the clever little
people have appeared here, but it con-
tains some whimsical scenes which were
warmly applauded. The music is a me.
lange of old and new pieces.
Bertha Jaeger. Franz Ebert and Adolph
Zink were the three tramps, and they
were largely helped in kesping the fun
alive by Ludwig Markell who played the
part of a mischievous man-ape. A. Du-
rand, who is as tall as the little people are
d min utive, played the role of an inventor
whose one object in life was to marry off
his daughter TO one of the tramps. Her
man Ring was miller, who gave more
time 10 meudllng III his nleces love al
fairs than to looking after his mill. Like
all meddlesome parents and guardians in
pantomime, he got the worst of it and the
lovers triumphed. The very painful fat4
overlook Ring of being sold to syndicate

Spectacular ballets were a feature OF the
Performance. These ballets were prettily
staged and costumed, and the coryphees
were puxom damsels though their dancing
was OF a verv amaieurish description. One
OF the prettiest of the ballets was the bal
let of the lamps.
