Oakland Office San Francisco Call,


sos Broadway, Sept. l.
Unless Danny Needham on his return
from the Klondike shall take the law into
his own hands and do some cunning,
with the assailant of his wife as a tar
get, it is not likely that anything will
come of the attempted tragedy of last
night. Mrs. Needham remained silent,
and the police have not yet persuaded
her to procure warrant for the arrest
of Louis Kihlmeyer, who has frequently
annoyed her, but who declares he knows
nothing of the shooting last night. Kill
meyer, however, is in custody.
Since Needham has been in Alaska
some one wrote him an anonymous letter
about his wife, which he forwarded to
her, and the writer of this letter, it is
surmised may know something of the at
tempt TO murder Mrs. Needham.
hlhlmeyer resides at S29 Grove street,
and Is painter When seen at his
home to-day he said: 4 certainly never
shot a. Mrs. Needham, because l had no
reason to, even if l were disposed TO go
cunning. l was at home last night a
big part Of the evening, and remained
there till 10 o'clock, lying down the
greater part of the time. At 10 o'clock
l went to the Venezia gardens on Sew
enth street, near Jefferson. 1 played
cards there with jeff Seaman, Joe Ad-
ans and one of the proprietors, leaving
there about midnight, when l went
home"
Detective Denny Holland has made a
thorough investigation of the case to-
day, and as a result he decided to take
Kihlmeyer into custody. although there
is some doubt whether a complaint will
be sworn to.
Il had long talk with Mrs. Need
ham this morning" said the detective,
and although she is convinced in her
own mind of the identity of the party
who shot at her, she did not see him.
and consequently cannot swear to his
identity. She certainly had the narrow
est escape from being murdered 1 have
ever seen. Had she stood with her back
toward the window instead Of standing
sideways she would now be dead; moth
ing could have saved her. Any of the
bullets would have caused her death.
They passed within an inch of her.
THE fellow, whoever he was, must
have stood close to the window, because
the manner in which the bullets were
flattened shows that they were shot not
far from the wall from which we ex-
tracted them.
"Kihlmeyer admits that he was a lit
tie infatuated with Mrs. Needham, but
she had told him he was making fool
of himself. and he had not sense enough
to take her advice His sisters and moth
er declare that he was at home at the
time of the shooting, but If he went from
his home TO the VeneZia gardens he had
10 pass the vacant lot at the rear of
Mrs. Needham's house. whence the shoot
ing was done. He says he didn't do it,
and as no one saw any one do it, that is
as far as the matter can GO"

An OPEN SECRET.

1t does not take profound stu
dent of the science of warfare to
point out the determining factor in
the American successes before San
tiago on July 1st and I'd, 1t was
the absolutely unconquerable cour-
age of our soldiers. Nothing could
stop them-that is the whole story.
Every charge was made against
an enemy numerous, desperately
brave, well armed and entrenched.
More than once, perhaps, the Amer
leans should, according to the rules
of those who write books on war,
have abandoned the attempt. But
the printed authorities deal with the
awful game of war as if it were q
game of chess. There is a quantity
that determined many glorious re-
suits at Santiago which they disre-
gard the indomitable, unflinching
resolve controlling each individual
which makes a mass of such men as
compose our army at Santiago ire
sistible.
Regulars and volunteers alike,
fighting side by side, stood like a
rock or rushed forward like the sea
as the orders or the exigency re-
qulred. There will be no more
sneers in Europe about our skeleton
army" or our ssraw recruits"

UNSOL VED PROBLEM OF
SEA SAFETY.

The Bourgogne disaster illustrates
anew the fact that collision in fog,
either between ships or with icebergs,
is the only danger of the sea which
the ingenuity of man has not prac
tically conquered.
So far as the Atlantic liners are
concerned, skill in naval architecture
has rendered them proof against any
storm that can blow and any sea
that storm can stir up. Even the
failure of their engines means moth
ing more than Inconvenience, for so
scientifically are they constructed
that even when adrift upon an angry
sea they arc safe.
But in fog they cannot see when
other ships approach, and owing to
natural laws, wrestled with by no
less eminent scientists than Joseph
Henry and Prof. Tyndall, they can
not even hear without danger of be.
ing lured to destruction by echoes
and by what the scientists have
named fog's "opacity" to sound.
Collision in fog is always posi-
bility, and when it comes its results
depend upon circumstances that can
neither be controlled nor foreseen.
A great English ship builder has
said that ships might be built which
even collision would not endanger.
But this cannot be so long as ships
must carry freight. If any CON-
pany could afford to dispense with
the use of the hold for freight and
cut it up into air and water light
cells. not even the worst collision
could endanger the lives OF its pas
sengers.
But such ships are a dream of the
future. The first class liners have
abolished one species of dangerous or
obnoxious freight after another, but
none has yet been able to abandon
freight-carrying altogether in behalf
of safety to passengers. For without
freight receipts no ship can afford
the enormous expense of the ocean
passage.
Sooner or later this will come,
with greatly increased passenger
fares, of course; but until it comes
1T will not be possible to make ships
as proof against collision as they now
are against the other dangers of the
sea.-World.
