Kept His Vow.
From the San Francisco chronicll


Edward j. Cunningham was released from San
Quentin yesterday, after serving sentence of six
years for burglary committed in Orange county
and with his liberation there passed from the
prison walls one of the strangest characters that
ever wore the stripped garb of the pententiary.
When Cunningham was landed within the walls
OF San Quentin prison he turned to the sheriff
who had conducted him hither from the southern
part of the State. and swore 4 heavily solemn
oath that no word would escape his lips during
the period Of his incarceration. Cunningham
stood by his oath through the long weary years
OF his sentence, and his tongue never loosened
until he stepped without the prison walls yester-
day free man.
Whenever it became necessary for Cunningham
to communicate his needs or wants 10 Others h.
did so in writing or by motions. After being
confined in the prison short time he was
thought TO be insane and sent TO the Ukiah
Asylum. Here he confined but short time
for it was soon ascertained he in his right
mind and merely acting in a stubborn manner
Word was sent to the prison officials, and Guard
Miller was sent to the asylum TO bring the
prisoner back When near Santa Rosa he jumped
through ca window. but was captured after a
hard chase. After his return he still preserved
an invioiabe silence, and was put into what is
known as crank alley. Here all kinds CT influence
was brough; to bear upon him to cause him to
speak, but without avail. He also refused to
have his hair cut, and when released yesterday
morning his hair measured and was found to
be ffty-fo inches in length
When relieved OF his prison garb a smile over
spread his countenance. Several people spoke to
him. but he only grinned. Once outside the
prison gate cunningham made up for lost time.
his confinement. When asked how he managed
to control himself and preserve unbroken si-
lence Tor so many years, he angriy replied that
ne had no explanation to make.

of the adjutant-general to consider means of amel!oriating the situation of the soldiers who may be engaged in the war. The suggestion of forming a San itary Commission, which came first from The Call, has been enthusiastical- ly received by the people, and our meet ing is the result. There is much for us to do, and our action should be prompt"
 On motion, ex-Chief of Police Crow ley took the chair as temporary presi- dent and Dr. w. D. Mccarthy, N. G. C.. was named for temporary secre- tary.
 The Rev. Horatio Stebbins was in favor of organizing as a branch of the National Red Cross Association.

 Again there was applause from the northwest corner of the room, where representatives of all creeds, no creeds, and both sexes had met, fused into sympathy by love and patriotism.
 It was Rabbi Voorsanger who played peace maker.
 Let us fight it out now" he said. "I believe IT. Stebbins is right. and so Is Dr. Hopkins"
 And to prove that his double-edged agreement was not paradox pr. Voor- sanger offered the following resolution which satisfied both sections:

San Francisco has long been noted for the number, variety and size of her wo- mems clubs, but the latest addition to her home treasures in this especial line the California Club-bids fair to not only hold her own among her elder sis ters, but to win for herself a most envia- ble place in the estimation of the com munity.

first organization should be a national one. But in addition to this there is the closer, personal relation in which we stand to the men who have gone to the front from California. They should be our peculiar care. Whether the ser vice we are called upon to perform is in raising funds, or forwarding supplies or sending trained nurses, men rr women, as may be decided, the feeling that the soldiers from California are our boys and are entitled to our first consideration is the strongest. My own son may have to go to the front. can't lose my personal interest n him because he is regarded by the Govern ment simply as an American soldier.
 For my part, I am not so much afraid of battle as I am of disease Our boys will be exposed to the rigors of disease more than to the guns of the Spaniards I am afraid of the hand of God, not of bullets from the hands of men. We must remember that every germ of yellow fever that has come to America came from Cuba.
 "The national and the State interest may be united, I think But it is of imperative necessity that we act at once"
 Surgeon General Hopkins then ad- dressed the meeting. He spoke strong ly on the requirements of the situation, dwelling upon California's duty to her own sons first.
 We need ambulances, stores, medical supplies. We are prepared only on a peace footing. When it comes to real war our needs are multiplied thou sandfold. We are not in condition to

care for wounds or disease of a serious nature among the men of the National Guard, who hourly expect a call to arms. It's as necessary for a surgeon to be provided with sanitary supplies as it is for soldier to have his gun. If California supplies the one, why not the other? The United States Government is capable of managing sanitary mat ters in most thorough and careful way. But 1 doubt the Governments ability to care for the volunteers in ad- dition to the regular army. Let us pro- tect our own first. When our boys are properly provided for we can turn over what remains to the general fund.-"
 There was applause from feminine hands at this view of the case. It was the women In yesterdays meeting that were the radicals. They are tinglng with the desire to do what lies in their power for the comfort of the sons and brothers, whose departure for the East draws nearer and nearer.
 II have two sons,' said Mrs. John c. Clark, who was vice-presdent of the Sanitary Commission during the civil war, who are likely to be called upon. Both are eligible. Both are anxious to go. I'm not the only mother who feels that our first care should be for these our own boys"
 "We don't want any money. AS yet we don't need any money" said pr. Stebbns.

 The Calls suggestion that California lead the way in organizing a Red Cross League crystallized into action yester day when the committee appointed by Governor Budd met at the California Hotel and effected permanent organiza- .tion.
 The meeting was a most erthusias- tic one, every member of it being ready and eager to enter upon the work. In addition to the ladies and gentlemen appointed by the Governor there were present many others, commissioned on- ly by the warm interest they feel in the boys in blue and the patriotic inn pulses awakened by the war with Spain. Although these non-commis- stoned officers of the great merciful army took no prominent part in yester- days proceedings, they were made wei come by the Red Cross League and Sanitary Commission of California which is the name adopted at the Rev.
