A NOBLE TOMAN PfsSES AWAY.
Death of Mrs. Robert Treat Paine, TIL.
Well Known Philanthropist

Well Known Philanthropist.
Boston, March 9.-Mrs. Paine wife of
Robert Treat Paine, died to-day of
pneumonia. She was a daughter of
George Williams Lyman, a son of The
odore Lyman. a distinguished Boston
merchant at the beginning of the CEN
tury.
Mrs. Paine was interested, with her
husband, in various philanthropic and
charitable enterprises. She inherited
a considerable fortune, and, with Rob-
ert Treat Paine. in 1885, she created and
endowed a trust fund of 5000 900, called
the Robert Treat Paine association.
The fund is held under trust deeds to
be carried on forever by the founders
and their children. Mrs. Paine was
also deeply interested in the work of
the Wells Memorial Institute. of which
her husband was the founder, and de-
voted her time and money freely to pro-
noting other work. Her intimate con-
nection with philanthropic work ena-
bled her to dispense her charities wise
ly without recourse to the charitable
organizations. She was an attendant
at Trinity church, and was interested
in church work.

| MATE BRAN MUST HANG.
THOUGH HE PROTESTS INNOCENCE
"IN THE PRESENCE OF GcD.n

Sentence Pronounced Yesterday After
Crime as Butchery. Not a Homicide--
Date of Hanging Fixed fer June I8--
Prisoner Bears Up Stoically.
Boston, March 9.--Sentence of death
was passed this afternoon on Thomas
NJ Bran, mate OF the Herbert Fuller.
for the murder of the captain of the
barkentine Fuller on the high seas last
July, and the time of execution was
fixed for June Is next. The crowd that
assembled to hear the last words OF
Judges Colt and Webb i'll the case was
probably the largest at any time DUR
and corridors of the United States cir
cult court, but the lower halls. AL
though it was composed of many wo-
men, it was a noisy and turbulent one.
requiring the utmost efforts on the part
of the officers to maintain even SEM
blance of quiet.
|. The scene was a very impressive one,
and the prisoner, who maintained the
same stolid appearance that has char
acterized him throughout the prolong-
ed trial, was at once arraigned.
In response to Judge Colts inquiry
as to whether he had anything to say
Why the sentence of death should not
| be passed upon him, the prisoner said:
I thank you, your honor, for the
opportunity. I now say, in the pres
ence of the Almighty God, that I am
an absolutely innocent man of the
crime Of which am charged. But not
my will be done, but Gods will, as it is
done by His angels in heaven
| Judge Colt then addressed the pris-
oner at some length. He reviewed the
crime and the evidence, saying that the
court could not see any ground for say
! ing that the defendant had not been
| properly convicted. He said Bran had
betrayed his trust, and that the crime
was not homicide, but butchery. Ills
honor complimented Bram's counsel on
the able defence they had offered for
the prisoner. Judge Colt then proceed
ed to pass sentence, fixing Friday, June
Is, between the hours Of II and 2, in the
| Charles street Jail, as the time and
place for the execution.
| Bran bore up wonderfully when the
| sentence had been announced; in fact,
| he seemed to have been strengthened
rather than disconnected by the an
nouncement of the date for his execu-
/ tion.
4 Bran drew handkerchief across his
eyes, turned a trifie pale and sat back
in his accustomed place without be-
traying the slightest emotion. In fact
his nerve was much more apparent
than it had been on other occasions
| when he was in court recently Mr..
| Cotter at once moved for writ of err
ror, and the court signed it. This will
act as a stay of execution until after
the supreme court acts. Bran was then
| removed from the dock to the mar
shals office and later taken back to the
Jail.
Just before he left his counsel, Messrs.
Cotter and French, grasped him by the
hand and told him to be of good cheer.
Bran again declared that he was not
guilty of the crime, Notwithstanding
that he had been sentenced. He threw
his hand around the neck of Deputy
Waters, who has had him in charge all
the time, and was evidently pleased,
that he had somebody on whom he
could lean for the moment to support
| him.

LODGING HOUSE ROW
A Tough Trio Brought to the Police
Station

A telephone message was received at
the police station yesterday afternoon
asking that an officer be sent down to
the Crescent lodging house, at 3O41s
South Los Angeles street. Officer
Shields answered the call, but en- arriv
ing at the place indicated the landlady
said that everything had quieted down,
and that there was no use for an officer.
Shortly after o'clock another call
was received from the same place again
asking for an officer This time Police
man Johnson was sent down., He found
quite crowd in front of the place. He
inquired as to the cause of the trouble.
and, not receiving a satisfactory reply,
started upstairs, where he heard a dis
turbance going on. He knocked at the
door of the room where the noise was
heard, but it was not opened. He called
TO those inside that he was an officer and
wanted admission, gently limiting that
If his request was not complied with he
would kick the door in This had the
desired effect, and he entered, to- find p
woman, who proved to be Mrs. T. j. Nc
Mullen, lying in a corner up on the floor
and bleeding profusely from a number of
wounds about her head. Mrs. McMul-
len and her husband, in company with a
man named Frank Burke, had been
drinking all day, and had gotten into a
drunken fight among themselves. Tbs
trio were brought to the police sta :
ton, where they were booked as drunks.

the original plans that the capital Nine.
Claverie (she was Mrs. Caroline NJ. AL
den them had at her disposal was not
sufficient and she mortgaged the lot,
so they say, to raise more money to finish
the building. About that time Mrs.
Clemishirie, the smooth party before
mentioned, found it necessary to return
east for short season until the teach
ing should begin, and unlike the historic
cat, she never came back. In regular
time Froe'bel institute was finished and
opened, but from the first a cloud has
seemed to hang over it; an ideal kind of
school in an ideal location, in a home
that grew more beautiful every day as
the flowers and vines grew about it, and
yet even the romantic marriage of the
pretty, dainty little mistress and the
gallant French fencing master failed to
produce lasting change for the better.
The school never throvc healthily, the
conditions grew gradually from bad to
worse until within the last few weeks
rumor seems for once to be verified by
the closing of the school, the departure
of monsieur and madame, and the state
ment that the mortgage on the property
is about to be foreclosed, with the usual
results. 1t is all very sad, and in more
ways than one.

BELLIGERENT JAPS
They Mix for Free Fight With a
Squad of Chinese

About half dozen Cinnamon and as
many Japs engaged in lively fistic en-
counter at the corner of Second and
Los Angeles streets last night. They
were making things decidedly interest
irg for one another when Officers Rosso
and Murray, who were patrolling beats
in the neighborhood, were attracted by
the noise of the fracas and hurried to
the scene. The combating parties at
once devoted all their energies to maxi
ing themselves scarce, and all but two
one Jap and one Chinaman-were lucky
enough to keep out of the clutches of the
officers.
The duet of unfortunate belligerents
was brought to the police station in the
patrol wagon, giving their names as r
Saito and M. Yenda. On the way to the
station, the Jap, who has reputa-
ton among Japs of being something of
a politician, offered Officer johnson 90
cents If he would turn him loose. 1t
didn't go, however, and he was locked
up, to be bailed out few minutes later
by friend, who put up $40 to insure his
appearance in court today.
