LETTER FROM
 JOHN CLARK Brother of the Fratricide Asks for Full Infor-
 nation.
The Murderer Has a Violent Attack of Illness in
 His Cell.
He Is Visited by Salvationists. Who Pray for Him While He
 Weeps.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NAPA, Feb. 3-A letter to Dr. Os- borne of St. Helena has arrived from John Clark, brother of the now fa- nous fratricide, George Clark. The missive is penned at the home of the father of the Clarks, in Wayne County, Illinois, and asks the doctor to send full particulars of the revolting crime. From the tenor of the letter it is in ferred that the writer had less affec- tion for George than for the murdered brother. Nothing is said of contribut- ing funds for the murderer's defense. The letter simply says that the writer had seen brief accounts of the crime in Eastern papers, which was the extent of what he knew of the affair.
 George Clark was terribly i'll in his cell yesterday, and the county physi- clan had to be called. He is better to- day. This morning Captain N. Evan son and Lieutenant Charles Baker of the Salvation Army at St. Helena and Captain w. A. Vandyke of the Napa corps held services with the prisoner. When they emerged from jail they were questioned.
 we prayed and Clark wept," said Captain Evanson. T must say that I believe him guilty. God pity himi He says to me, I know the Lord has for given me for all my sins Then he quoted from the Scripture, Though thy sins be as scarlet they shall be made white as snow.
 ''Of course he Is guilty" continued the captain. He confessed to that last week, though he is now half claiming to be innocent. Why he partially confessed to Captain Vandyke before he did to any one else. From his general man. ner and conversation to us, at least, he practically confesses all the time To-day he seems to be almost col lapsed He does not seem to care for anything. He realizes his fate and says he doesn't mind death only he doesn't want to die by the rope. I said to him, George. at the last mo- ment do you want me to be there?' and he answered, with a sob, I do.'"

SACRAMENTO. Feb. S.-The Bee will publish tonight the announcement that Mrs. B. K. Alsip, wife of the miss ing real estate dealer, has transferred to an assignee all of the property con- veyed to her by her husband before his departure.

How a Santa Rosan'S Pension Claim Got
 a Boost.
A First Cousin of the Ohio Sen- ator Will Soon Receive
 His Dues.
Department Red Tape Temporarily Suspended Through Influence
 That Counted.
Special Dispatch to The can.

SANTA ROSA, Feb. 3-The theory that there is nothing in a name was shown to be an erroneous one by lit tie circumstance that took place here to-day. The details of the case show conclusively that there is considerable in some names, especially when they begin with "H' and are spelled Hanna. Some three or four years ago Cassius B. Hanna filed an application with the Pension Bureau asking that he be placed upon the pension roll. He served throughout the war under Sherman, took part in the memorable march to the sea, and as colonel of his regiment led the celebrated charge across the river and into the graveyard down in Tennessee-the time the One Hundred and Third Ohio was devoting little attention to General Hood-and he SUD- posed, of course, that it would not take long for the Pension Department to at tend to his claim and place his name where it belonged.
 Almost four years rolled around, however and nothing was heard of the matter. Two weeks ago Hanna, who Is a first cousin of Mark Hanna, United
 
 of waiting and wrote to his cousin, asking him to try to hurry things along a bit. By the return mail, which ar rived last night, came a big batch of legal documents from the department. The whole matter had been arranged, and forms that usually require seven or eight months at the least to be gone through with had been so attended to that all that was necessary was an ex- animation by the physicians and the attachment of few signatures to con- plete the matter.
 With the documents came @ letter from Senator Hanna, saying that he had spoken to the head of the Pension Bureau concerning the matter and that 1t would be attended to without delay.
 Hanna was examined to-day, the sig natures were duly affixed and no doubt about next week a nice check viii come this way, and all because his name Is Hanna

NO AMERICAN FLAG
 ON THE MEDITERRANEAN
Orders Issued for the Flagship San Francisco and Gunboat Bancroft
 to Go to Lisbon.

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-The Heralds s Washington correspondent telegraphs;
 Orders have been issued to the San Francisco, flagship of the European squadron, and the gunboat Bancroft, to proceed to Lisbon, Portugal Their de- parture from the Mediterranean will leave that sea for the first time in three years without a vessel flying the Ameri- can flag. Affairs in Turkey are now so quiet that the administration has deter mined that there is no further need for an American vessel in the eastern part of the Mediterranean. Orders were sent to the Bancroft several weeks ago direct ing her to proceed to Genoa, Italy She arrived there several days ago, being joined soon afterward by the flagship San Francisco. I understand that orders directing the departure of the squadron for Lisbon were to go into effect imme- diately after Commodore J. w. Howell succeeded Rear Admiral T. o. Selfridge as commander in chief of the European station. This took place yesterday morn ing. The Helena has been at Lisbon for two weeks.

Chemical National Bank Trying to Realize on
 Grable's Paper.
Directors Anxious to Recover Some of the Money Loaned
 by Quinlan.
Enormous Enterprises in the wes' in Which Many Financiers Are
 Entangled.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-John S. Silver, one of the men whose borrowing from the Chemical Bank led to the resigna- tion of Director and Cashier Quinlan. said to-day that he did not owe as much as he had been said to owe, but whatever the sum was he would pay it.
 The officers of the Chemical National Bank were in communi cation by tele- graph with banks in various parts Of the country to trace the course of the certified checks given by Cashier Quin Ian to Messrs. Silver and Grable, and to ascertain whether financial institu
 tions elsewhere had advanced money on drafts such as were accepted as se- curity at the Chemical National Bank. The directors of the bank were in ses- sion all to-day discussing means of re- covering as much as may be possible of the money loaned by MT. Quinlan.
 President Williams of the Chemical National Bank, when shown a dis patch from St. Louis containing an in- terview with Grable, in which the lat ter said that MT. Williams had been stockholder in one of his companies for several years, said: Tt is wrong for this man to try to mix me up in his schemes. It Is true that l have been connected with one of his companies, but 1t was a trifiing matter, not more than two or three thousand dollars" He also admitted the truth of state ment that on Thursday last the Chem ical National Bank had accepted de- mand note of s201, ,501 from Grable, agreeing at the same time not to press Grable for the money.
 William H. Kurtz, who Is said to have beeen associated with Grable in many of his deals, said to-day: "Mr. Grable's dealings with the Chemical National Bank have extended over a considerable period. As I understand from him, he was well known to all the banks officials. To my knowledge he owed the bank s170,000 at one time and liquidated the debt until only s19,- GOO was left. Thus he has gone on con- tracting obligations and diScharging them. At the beginning of last week the total amount of Grable's indebted ness to the bank was $201, ,5O0'
 Judge F. M. Hamer of Kearney, Nebr, who was said to be MT. Grable's counsel, said that Grable began his bus mess life as bank clerk in Kearney and then branched out as money lender and real estate dealer in Lin coln. where he prospered. Judge Ha- mer said that Grable had never failed in any of his enterprises. He said that if Grable had not been pressed he could have easily paid off his present indebtedness to the Chemical National Bank Grable's Western companies. Judge Hamer said, were all in a pros porous condition. Judge Hamer said he supposed Grable's property, if real ized on, would bring $1,00O,000 over and above MT. Grable's total indebtedness.

Ez:JUDGE FINED FOR CONTEMPT InSOlence- of an Erratic San Diego Attorney
 Punished.
Judges Terrence and Hughes Sustain the Dignity of the
 Superior Court.
Scandalized for Denying a Chance of Venue in Case InvOlvinq
 Water Rates.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 3.-John D. Works, ex-Justice of the Supreme Court, was adjudged guilty of contempt of court to-day and fined s25O. The circum- stances of the case were such as to extremely provoke the two Judges of the Superior Court and while their language was well curbed they did not fail to make their displeasure felt.
 The case of T. J. Higgins ct al. vs. the City of San Diego and San Diego Water Company was under considera- tion, and it relates to the question of water rates. The water company, rep resented by Judge Works, applied for a change of venue, alleging that the two San Diego Judges, being consum- CTS of water, are interested in the case and therefore disqualified. In support of this allegation the affidavit of J. M HowellS, president of the San Diego Water Company, was filed, in which HowellS declared, of his own knowl- edge, that application had been made to secure a disinterested Judge and the application denied.
 Howells was called before the Judges and he admitted that he knew nothing of his own knowledge and that his af- f1davit was false in this respect His affidavit was prepared by Judge Works, who caused Howells to sign. In addition to this offenSe Works in- dulged in criticism of Judge Terrence in language ScandalouS and imperti- nent and repeated certain charges against his integrity. These charges had been previously made by Works in a brief submitted to the Supreme Court in a former case, and the Supreme Court ordered the language stricken from the brief on the ground that 1t was scandalous and impertinent But Works, nothing daunted, returned to the charge tin Judge Torrence's own court, disregarding the hint given in the Supreme Court that a repetition of such an pffense might result in pun ishment for contempt if not disbar- ment.
 In court to-day Judge Terrence call ed upon Works to explain this portion of the affidavit. Works made an at tempt at an explanation, saying that he meant no offense and stating that as Judge Terrence had met him on the street and declined to speak to him he believed he had just cause for feeling that Judge Terrence was prejudiced against him. Judges Torrence and Hughes, who were sitting in bank in the case, conferred for a time and then announced that ex-Judge Works was guilty of contempt and that he be fined $250. In the order the Judges say: "The court finds that the said John D. Works, by incorporating in said affi- davit of said J. M. Howells the state ment therein contained last above re- cited and presenting and reading the same to the court, intended thereby to show his disrespect to the court and especially to the Judge of Department 1 of this court (Torrence) and improp- erly influence the decision to be made by the court upon the motion present. ed by him as aforesaid"

The right way to bring n greyhound into

twelve to fifteen miles. He must not be al

The reason Is that continual exercise Is thus
