MRS. CLUTE'S MURDER
THE SUBJECT OF INQUIRY BY A
CORONER'S JURY
Suspect Hoff Positively Identified
as the Man Seen Running From
the House

| SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 22.-Coroner
Hawkins and a jury listened to the story
of the killing of Mrs. Mary A. Clute to-
day. The rooms at the morgue We're
filed with interested spectators.
Hoff was taken from the city prison
by Detective Seymour and was given a
seat to the right of the coroner and fac
ling the jury. All trace Of excitement
had left him and he awaited the business
of the day with perfect tranquility and
apparent Indifference.
A dozen witnesses were in attendance
in response to subpoenas, though it had
been understood that only the testimony
of two or three would be needed to afford
sufficient ground to warrant the jury in
preferring a formal charge of murder
against Hoff.
c. Is. Legg, the aged man who heard
the screams of the victim and saw Hoff
leaving the house, was not present. His
nerves were shattered by the shock oc-
casoned by the tragedy and it was found
advisable to send him to the country for
a season of rest and quiet, away from the
scene of blood. His daughter-in law
Mrs L. A. Legg. who was with the old
man and also witnessed Hoffs departure
from the fatal fiat, came, accompanied
by Mrs Blanchard, the landlady of the
premises.
Mrs. Legg's story is in all essential
points the same as that related by her
father-in-law, and the police thought
that the latter could be spared.
E. r. Clute, husband of the dead
woman, and his sister, Mrs. Clark, were
deeply interested spectators and listened
attentively to the proceedings.
Thos. Graham, prosecuting attorney
of Judge Joachimsen's court, was pres
ent to hear the evidence so as to prepare
himself for the preliminary examina
ton.
Hoff was identified by Mrs. NJ. A.
Uschold as the man who called to see
Mrs. Clute before she left her Page street
residence for the Guerrero street fiat,
on the day she met her death. Mrs.
Cecilia Masterson also testified to the
same effect, addinC hat Hoff called dur
ing Mrs. Clute's absel and stated that
he had been to the Guerrero street flat,
but had missed Mrs. Clute.
Carpet-layers Joe Donohue and Joseph
FOley testified tndt HUI was Will MIS'
Clute when they left the Guerrero street
fiat at o'clock, and Mrs. Legg and
others swore to having heard Mrs.
Clute's screams and seen Hoff leave the
house Immediately afterward.
The inquest was thereupon adjourned
until tomorrow morning.
In the afternoon Hoff was arraigned il
Police Judge Joachimsen'c court on the
charge of having murdered Mrs. Clute.
He pleaded not guilty. The hearing was
set for 10 o'clock Friday morning.

THE SEALERS CLAIM
Arbitrators Allow Canada's Full
Claim With Interest

OTTAWA, Ont, Dec. 22.-The Cana
dian government received a communi-
cation tonight from the arbitrators ap-
pointed to deal with the claims of Bering
sea sealers against the United States
government for losses caused by the
seizure of their vessels, submitting the
award. The arbitrators were j. f. King
of the supreme court of Canada and
Judge Putnam of the United States The
award is $464,000, with two reserved
cases, that Of the Black Diamond for
$4,000 and the Ada for $1,000.
1t will be remembered that in 1895 the
United States government offered $40o,-
600 and that Canada claimed $3.50, 900.
Afterwards q compromise was reached
and the amount placed at $425,000 but
congress refused to vote that sum. The
present award is virtually what Canada
formerly agreed to accept, with interest.

MISSING AMERICANS
Probably Eaten by the Indians on
Tiburon

NEW YORK, Dec. PA special dis
patch from Hermosillo, Mexico, says:
CAPTAIN Pedro Silva of the Mexican
Army, who was commissioned by the
government to visit Tiburon and investi-
gate the recent massacre Of a crew that
landed there, has returned to Guaymas
and forwarded his report to the Secre-
tary of War.
He says: 1--WE came across Rancher-
las, but all We're empty, with no signs
of having been occupied for several days.
However, near one of the Rancherias
we discovered pieces of burned wood,
which upon examination proved to be
boards from the sides of the vessel
World On these pieces of wood the
words, World, San Diego" could be
read.
Near Tecomote we found some In
dians, but as they are well acquainted
with the mountain trails, they ran away
and we lost sight of them. All through
our expedition we did not find any clew
that might lead US to the discovery OF
the missing Americans"

Tupper Talks Tariff

NEW YORK, Dec 22.-Secretary
Charles Tupper, former prime minis
ter of Canada, was passenger on the
White Star line steamer Majestic which
arrived here today. Sir Charles said he
found the feeling abroad regarding the
Dingley law as one of great objection
and he thought the feature of that meas
ure was drawing Canada and the mother
country closer together every day. The
Klondike and British Columbia fields, he
thought, would draw a great deal of
British and other capital into Canada,
which would receive like increase in
population.

lection of motormen, as required by a
statute enacted at the last session of

The Texas Storm

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 22.-The sleet storm
that has prevailed for the past three
days in Texas has proved to be more
disastrous in its effects on the stock
interests Of the West and Northwest
portions of that State than was ex-
pected. Reports from 200 miles west and
north of Fort Worth state that the death
rate among cattle is unprecedented, be-
ing most pronounced among recent i'm
portations from Mexico and the cattle
taken to the Big Plains country from
Louisiana. In some localities fully 35
per cent of the Mexican cattle have died
already. In the extreme western part OF
the State the storm was not so hard.

fight to protect their client on cross-ex-

that his client would admit all Of the

mitters into low tension currents or high
tensioned currents, as the case may be,
for distribution. BY this process there
is much less leakage and the currents
can be sent greater distance. There is
far more danger In these currents. as
they are too high tensioned to be used
in lighting or for power purposes. The
system patented. however, enables the
electric company to transmit heavy cur
rents into low tension by sending the
high tension current through a fine wire
coil by transmitter which has a coarser
wire wound around 1t. The high tension
current generates by induction cur
rent of lower tension in a coil of coarser
wire. BY this process the current can
be regulated at will"

MRS. BOOTHS CONDITION
Her Case Alarming, But Recovery Il
Possible

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-Mrs. Balling-
ton Booth, wife of the commander Of the
American volunteers, Is now lying at the
Presbyterian hospital in a very serious
condition. Today Ballington Booth re-
ceived telegram from the physicians in
charge stating that Mrs. Booths con-
dition was alarming. Her condition has
been diagnosed as aneurism in one Of
the important arteries, condition which
will require the most careful attention
and one which may at any moment end
the life of the sufferer. At all events 1t
is said Mrs. Booth will be confined to the
hospital for a long time to come.
For the last year Mrs. Booth has
suffered from this disease, which to
some extent has been aggravated to the
numerous controversies arising out Of
the so-called rivalry between the officers
of the American volunteers and those Of
the Salvation army.

ELECTRICAL ADVANCE
New Methods of Handling High Ten
sion Currents

NEW YORK, Dec. PA special to
the Herald from Washington says: The
Patent Office has granted three import
ant patents to Rudolph NJ Hunter, OF
Philadelphia, assignor to the General
Electric Company of New York, on the
transmission of electrical energy, cover
ing a period of seventeen years.
Should the Supreme Court of the
United States uphold these patents, mil
lions of dollars in royalties must be paid
by the Westinghouse and other electri-
cal companies. These patents are Of
greater Importance to the electrical
world than any granted in years, as the
appliances covered by the patents are
being used by the large electric lighting
concerns in all the large cities
Mr.. Greeley, Assistant Commissioner
of Patents, said:
''The patents cover broadly the idea
of generating high tension currents and
transmitting them through a wire or
by means Of an induction coil, or trans

the sensational, and those fortunate
enough to be present saw splendid rae
ing. Satsuma and Torsida carried off
the laurels. The former gained phe-
nomenal victory over Tea Rose III al
most in the last stride, running six fur
longs in the wonderfully fast time Of

off the coast record but is within quar-
ter of second of the worlds record of
1:12A, made by O'Connell over the Oak
ley track in 1885, Tea Rose III, beaten
by the narrowest margin, was not dis
graced. She ran the first half mile in AZ
seconds, forced Bellicoso, and it is not to
be marveled at that she faltered bit
near the finish after such a wonderful
exhibition of speed
Torsida landed the Oakland prize after
desperate battle with Count of Flan-
ders, Eddie Jones and st. Calatine.
