GARLAND OFFICE,
San Francisco Call,
90S Broadway, May 20.

9OS Broadway, May 30
Major E. A. Sherman has made
public information which shows
that the sensational charges made
against his son in Honolulu have
been dismissed and were the result
of simple blunder. An article
published in San Francisco paper
yesterday morning states that At
torney E. A. Sherman was arrested
in Honolulu by j. w. Robertson,
formerly the amberlain of Queen
Liliuokalani, who swore that Sher
man had induced him TO part with

Major Sherman says that his sou
was with his cousins, Florence and
Allan Hyde, who have been in Ho-
nolulu for some months. In letter
received by the major, his son, re-
ferring to his difficulties, says:

STILL CLAIMS HE SHOT
TO SAVE HIMSELF
Statement Made by Capitalist Jesse
Walters When His Death
Seems Near

SUISUN, June 24.-After a consulta-
tion to-day, DR.. w. G. Downing of Sui
sun and DR.. e. L. Hennessey of Napa
concluded that the wound of Jesse Wal
ters, who is held In the County
Jail here, charged with the murder of
Alfred Cook at Napa, was in such con-
dition that amputation of the leg was
necessary. The physicians concluded
to perform the amputation tomorrow.
Walters condition being considered
critical, the attorneys for both the
defense and the prosecution were noti-
fed accordingly. The conclusion ar
rived at by the physicians was prompt
ed as a possible chance of saving the
confined mans life.
George A Lamont and c. J. Beer
stecher the defendants attorneys, took
Walters deposition this afternoon. The
statement made by him was that on
the day of the killing he went into the
livery stable In Napa, in which the
tragedy took place, and had no inten-
ton of meeting Cook. AS soon as the
two men met, cook fired upon him, the
bullet taking effect in the left leg. Wal
ters returned the fire. He admits having
killed Cook, but claims it was done in
self-defense Walters exonerate3 ex-
Sheriff Mckenzie, who has been
charged with having been an acces-
sorry to the crime. He says Mckenzie
had nothing to do with the killing.
Attorney Edward Bell a brother of
District Attorney Theodore A. Bell of
Napa, and who is interested with the
latter in the prosecution, was present
this afternoon. Sheriff Dunlap and the
Napa District Attorney arrived here
Just after the deposition was taken,
the two having driven from ST. Helena
upon receipt Of the news of the criti-
cal condition of Walters. The wound
ed man realizes his condition and Is
perfectly willing to have his leg am
putated He said this evening that he
knew he could not live with the in
.jured limb in it's present condition and
was willing to run the chances of re-
covery after the operation was per-
formed He appears to be resting easy

CALL HEADQUARTERS, WELL
INGTON HOTEL, WASHINGTON,
June 24.-American rule for Cuba will
continue for some years to come, an
official with whom 1 discussed the
question said, and the United States
Will certainly not leave the island un-
til the people are able to govern
themselves. Therefore, he thinks
American capitalists need have no fear
Of their interests not being fully pro-
tected.
Under the terms of the Foraker
amendment the administration is
stopped from granting any concessions
for the island of Cuba, and, if any
blame is due for the failure of Ameri-
cans to obtain the best property inter
ests in the island, it should fall on
Congress for its enactment OF this leg
islation.
Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn said
to-day that nothing has come to the
attention of the War Department
showing activity of foreigners in max
ing investments in Cuba. In any event,
he said, the matter was a private one
that could not be the subject of action
by this Government, as American cap
italists have the opportunity of in
vesting money in the island as Eng
liShmen or others have.
1t has been a matter of remark for
some time that English and German
investors have been placing consider
able capital in Cuba and that Ameri-
cans have hesitated to follow their eX-
ample. According to an official with
whom I talked, their hesitancy is due
to the apprehension. that the future
government of the island will not be
stable and that in consequence their
property interests will depreclate.

AGAINST
MEDICAL QUACKS

~ AN JOSE, June PA crusade has
been commenced in this city against
J the abortve practice of quacks and
disreputable physicians that prom
ises to become Statewide and TO be taken
up by all the medical societies on the Pa
cIfic Coast. This movement was started
by Rev. Father Walshe, assistant pastor
of St Joseph's Catholic Church, and now
the Santa Clara Medical Society and
clergymen of all denominations have
taken up the cause. Father Walshe. who
has been justly yclept the little hero Of
the big steepled church, is receiving con-
gratulations and praise on all sides. To-
day the crusade is the most discussed
topic in the Garden City.
The crusade had its inception in SER
mon delivered by Father Walshe about a
month ago in ST. Joseph's Church. His
subject at that time was on ''InfantiCide, >"
taken from the text, Thou shalt not
kill
This attracted the attention of the med
ical society and it passed resolutions in
GOrsing the stand taken by Father
Walshe. Strong resolutions were passed
at the time and the clergy of the city
were invited to be present at the next
meeting of the physicians, which occurred
on Wednesday night.
At that meeting ii was decided that a
permanent executive committee of th-ce
physicians and five clergymen be appoint
ed TO carry on the crusade. Medical So
cieties all over the State will be appealed

ARCHBISHOP IRELAND
GRATUITOUSLY INSULTED
Because he Accepted an Invitation
to Address Students He Was
Attacked by Imperial
iSt Papers.

NEW YORK, June PA Paris cable
to the Journal says: An unprecedented
and wholly gratuitous insult has just
been put upon Archbishop Ireland as
the result Of the profoundly patriotic
discourses he has delivered since his
arrival in Paris. Many young men who
have been pursuing studies under the
direction of the Jesuits expressed a
wish that the eloquent American pre-
late be invited to deliver the annual
oration at the closing exercises.
Apparently in compliance with the
wish the invitation was issued by the
director of the conference and accepted
by the Archbishop. At once the royal
ist and imperialist papers opened fire
upon the republican churchman.
LAutorite, the organ of Prince Victor
Napoleon, has been most scurrilous in
its attacks. 1t is now officially an
nounced that the invitation to the
Archbishop is withdrawn. The aristo-
cratic guests invited have been notified
that there will be no closing exercises
this year. The students, who number
over a thousand, are furious, and say
the organizers of the conference have
all resigned.

VANCOUVER, B. c., June 24.-W. F.
Gibson, a prominent mine owner of the
Lillooet district, returned this afternoon
from Atlin. He went there three months
ago to purchase claims for himself and
other Vancouver people. He says:
Il never was ashamed of British law
before, but the administration of Gov
ernment affairs in Atiin, with the sense
less and unjust restrictions is enough
to make even a British Columbian
ashamed Of his country. The country
is tied up for the season There is no
work for men and hundreds of people
are absolutely destitute. There is, of
course, no starvation, as men are sim
ply living off their fellows and leaving
the country at the rate of 100 a day.
Last week miners mass meetings were
held, both of Canadians and Americans.
Very strong language in denunciation
of the officials and the Government was
used at both, and it was once suggested
that the whole administration, bag and
baggage. should be shipped out by the
first steamer and an honest administra-
tion set up.
James Pringle of Victoria was in
charge at the Canadian meeting, when
nearly 1000 miners were present. Prin
gle, DR.. Munro and one other were ap-
pointed delegates to lay the disgraceful
state of affairs before the Government
at Victoria and oppose legislation
against aliens. At the American meet
ing strong resolutions were passed and
forwarded to Washington.
There is no work for miners at all.
The officials are becoming rich very
fast with their interest in the townsite.
Men have even been arrested within
the last ten days for mining gold off
claims that they have recorded One
new creek was found and $50 claims
were staked for the officials before any
one else had a chance. Then many pc
culiar individual cases have occurred.
Americans last year found good
claims away back on the hills and spent
money on them and recorded them.
Then they went back for a year, and
now come in to Atlin City, hearing of
the alien law for the first time. A
crowd of heelers look out for them. and
in dozens and dozens of instances go
out and restake the claims that the
Americans have worked on for a year
You don't pass a miners tent in the
whole district but the owner curses the
Government and lays the blame of the
alien legislation on Attorney General
Joseph Martin. I can tell you that a
great many Americans are being made
out of the Canadians this year"
