Corning Paid the Price to Avoid Further
Delay.
Astoria, Ore. May s.-The hearing under
the writ of habeas corpus brought for the
release of the Il sailors who were placed
on the British bark Howard D. Troop
from the steamer Columbia last Friday,
was resumed before Judge Gray to-day.
AS to four of the men, who were admitted
to be American citizens. the court decided
they could not be held on an English ship
and ordered their discharge. The examina-
ton of the other sailors was continued un-
til tomorrow. The case of Captain Corn
ing of the Troop on the charge of kidnap-
ing was called in the justice court, but
was continued by consent of counsel. The
four sailors, being released under the
habeas corpus will be held under bonds
to appear as witnesses against Corning.
The report is current tonight, however.
that all disputes between the ship and
the boarding house people have been salts
factoriy adjusted and the men not dis
charged under habeas corpus will be re-
turned to the ship and further proceed
ings in the courts dropped. What the
terms Of settlement are cannot be learned,
but 1t is believed Captain Corning has
paid the price demanded for the sailors
rather than be subjected to any further
veXatious delay.

county jail at White Plains. In the
case of Ethel Badguet he would hold
her as an accessory. The two held as
principals furnished the required bond
and Coroner Banning paroled Ethel
Badguet, who is a school teacher in

A ROAST FOR ALGER.
Sons of the Revolution Have Prepared
Some Warm Resolutions

New York, May S.--The Times to-
morrow will say: The New York men,
bers of the Sons Of the American Rev
olution are to have an opportunity of
expressing their disapproval of the ac-
tion of the Michigan society in invt-
ing Secretary of War Alger to a dinner
in Detroit May 2 and converting the
occasion into demonstration in favor
of Alger.
Among the guests at the dinner were
New York delegates. On their return
from Detroit they called the attention
of the heads of the local organization
to the matter, as a result of which the
board of governors has prepared and
Will present to the Empire state society
at its next monthly meeting, to be held
on May 49, the following resolutions:
THE Empire State Society Of the
Sons of the American Revolution repu-
dates in the strongest manner the use
of its national meetings for political
purposes. Especially does it condemn
any attempt to vindicate the reputa-
tions of public officials or to compli-
ment those who have been accused of
unpatriotic neglect of our soldiers who
exposed their lives for our country.
THE first duty of all patriotic soce-
ties is to assist, protect and uphold the
armies of the nation, and to aid in CIV
ing them all the support that the re-
sources of the country can command
This society claims it's part in such pa
triotic duty and repudiates with indg-
nation the flippant sentiment that sup
posing they had little spoiled beef,
what of it?' or that, in supplying them
with food it was not necessary to be
particular as to the quality.
'The society looks with horror upon
officials who can express such senti-
ments, having the entire resources of
this wealthy country at command, not
only furnished our soldiers with a lit
tile spoiled beef but gave them little
else, even in the home camps, where
good food in abundance was every
where at hand and who also failed to
supply them with suitable clothing,
shelter and medicine.
Resolved, That copies of these reso-
lutions be sent to all affiliated socie-
ties"
The appearance of these resolutions
at the coming meeting is expected to
be the signal for some animated ex-
pressions of opinion.

WRONG PLACE TO sTuTTER,
Stout Man in the Fast Flying Elevator
of Sky Scrapper.

From the New York Sun.
1t was in one of the elevators of a
Nassau street sky scra per. AS the eIe-
vator shot toward the zenith, little
stout man, with a mourning band on
his SILK hat began to sputter. His face
assumed the complexion of a lobster that
has passed away in boiling water.
"Bub-but, rt-st-st-b'r'r'r.'' he said, as
the veins stood out upon his neck
Guess he'll have a stroke" nuttered
a passenger to the elevator man, while
the latter gazed anxiously at the man
who was sputtering like a lamp going
out.
At the 23rd story the stout mans eyes
were nearly starting from his head,
perSpiration sought it's watersheds on
the map of his countenance and as he
grasped the arm of the elevator man
the latter nervously pulled the lever
and the lift started for the bottom at a
terrific rate. The solitary passenger
danced about. gurglng spasmodically
and 1T seemed as if the threatened
stroke would get him before the ground
floor was reached.
AS the car struck the bottom, how
ever he rushed through the door and
up to an important individual whose
cap bore the screed starter"
"S-s-s-say," he sputtered, 't-t-this is
the th-th-third trip I-I-I-Ive t-t-t-ta-
ken in the d-d-d--- elevator, N

The starter put him on a car, closed
the door, said Seven" and the ca,
started.

MYSTERY CLEARED UP.
Duarte Tells the Story of the Muir
der of John G. Davis.

BAKERSFIELD, Aug. 1S.-A muir
der mystery which has puzzled the au-
thorities for two years has been cleared
up by the confession of an alleged ac-
cessory to the crime.
In October, 1897, John c. Davis,
barber, was shot in the head about
midnight while returning to his home
in the outskirts of town. 1t was sus-
pected that robbery was the motive
for the murder.
Sheriff Borgwardt now has warrants
for convict Barragon, serving ten years
in Folsom Prison for stealing a horse
in Fresno and for one Duarte, who
was Barragons chum and partner
Duartes story is to the effect that
when he and Barragon stole the horse
in Fresno for the theft of which Bar
ragon is now in jail, they went to
Bakersfield, intending to rob anyone
who crossed their path While wait
ing for their supper at a Mexican cabin
Barragon went out, and returning in
sisted upon immediate start, afterward
telling Duarte of having killed Davis,
robbed him Of 50 and a certificate of
deposit, destroying the certificate.
After wandering over the State, Bar
ragon was captured by the Fresno Off
GERS and convicted of horse stealing.
Duarte escaped, but was recently ar
rested at Hanford upon minor
charge, and told the Sheriff the fore
going story. The Sheriff says he has
verified every detail Of Duarte's story.

Fourteenth street, early this morning.
He had been ill for several months.
Born in Maryland in 1922, he left
home at the early age of IA to begin
the battle of life. He first settled in
Memphis, Tenn, where, for number
of years, he pursued an honorable and
prosperous mercantile career. While
not strictly speaking a pioneer, he ar
rived in California in 1858, and since
that time has been one of the States

citizens
In conjunction with his brother, Hon.

Mr.. Dougherty. one of the pioneers of
Alameda County, he settled in Liver
more Valley, and for number of
years was largely engaged in the rails
ing of cattle and the importation and
raising of fine horses. 1t was under
Mr.. Martins supervision that Liver
more Valley was first demonstrated to
be a great wheat producing section.
Mr.. Martin came to Oakland a great
