Amputated Arm Puz-
zles Authorities.
NO INQUEST WILL BE HELD
POLICE AND CORONER ARE
BAFFLED.
Theory That It Gives a Clew to the
Fate o. Goetz Is Apparently
the Only Solu-
ton.

ALAMEDA. Jan. 20. So The police and
Deputy Coroner Fowler are baffied in
their efforts TO clear up the mystery OF
the amputatCd arm found yesterday in
nm empty boXcar near the oil works. ABB
Bolutey no clew has been obtained TO the
identity Of the person who deposited the
Brewsome parcel in the car. The uncan-
ny limb Is stlll at the Alameda Morgue
and is apparently white elephant on the
hands of the Deputy Coroner.
The officials have spent a day inspect
ing the vacant buildings in the vicinity
OF the oil works hoping to secure some
cleW that might serve to clear up the
mystery, but they gathered little infor-
nation of tangible nature. They have
practically given up hope OF solving the
matter.
The arm gives evidence of having been
Tho flesh is dried on the bones and there
was practically no decomposition.
From the tips of the fingers the skin
has shriveled away, giving the nails the
appearance of unusual length. This Is
what created the impression that the arm
was once part of the anatomy of Il China
man, but close inspection of the nails
shows that they were not coarse and had
been carefully manicured. which gives adj
ditOnal force TO the theory that the arm
IS that of white man or possibly wo-
man.
The contention that the uncanny rem
nnnt serves as n possible clew to the fate
OF Adolph Goetz is shared by many who
have interested themselves In the mys-
terious disappearance of the young man.
lie had an appointment with a stranger
near the Park-street station of the narrow
gauge road. Ii is possible that he kept
the appointment boarded the narrow
gauge train and was invited off at Pacific
avenue station. This is within few hun
drcd feet of the transfer station where
the arm was found. and is one OF the
most lonesome localities in the city.
G0ctz had several hundred dollars on his
person when he disappeared, and his
friends believe that he was murdered by
men whose object was to secure his small
capital. Since the finding OF the ampu-
tated arm Il is believed that If the theory
is correct the deed was committed in the
vicinity OF Alameda Point, after which
tho body was cut into small pieces and
gradually deposited In empty cars that
have carried IL far away from the scene
OF the crime and beyond the possibility
OF securing Clew to the murderers.
Coroner Mehrmann viewed the grew
some find to-day and concluded that II
would be useless TO hold an inquest. He
admitted that the case puzzled him and
that for the want of a better solution to
the mystery he would have to lean toward
the theory that the arm had been thrown
IN the car by a medical student.

90S Broadway, Jan. 80.
Tomorrow evening the Democrats will
hold a city convention, and there is much
speculation regarding the candidate who
will be nominated. So far no names APP
pear to have sufficient support to justify
calling them candidates. Yet those in
control of the convention declare that a
ticket will be nominated that Will be a
credit to the Democratic party of Oakland
and which will merit the confidence of all
the voters.
The situation is very puzzllng. The ma
chinery of tho party has passed from
one wing to another and is now controlled
by those who were formerly In the minor
ity on the city committee but not in the
party at large. 1t is interesting to note
that Con Brosnahan, who was chairman
OF the County Central Committee while
r. NJ. Fitzgerald was in power as DEM
ocratic leader. is now chairman of the
Committee of Twenty-one, which is COM
posed of anti-Fftzgerald forces Brosna-
han Is not now a candidate for any office
and is therefore free to do all the politics
he pleases. and apparently he pleases to
do great deal.
Many names have been suggested for
the offices at the head of the ticket, but
no one seems to know anything definite.
Those In control of the convention eX-
press great confidence that they Will be
able to put up a strong Democratic tick
ct The opposition declares that this is
an impossibility, for no strong Democrat
lie ticket can be nominated under such
auspices. Everything is In allegiance, and
tomorrow evening the nut will be
cracked.
1t is rumored that some of the candi-
dates nominated by the Independents will
be endorsed by the Democrats tomorrow
night. but this is strenuously denied by
some of the party leaders, who affirm that
none but straight Democrats will be
nominated at their convention.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
SS Broadway. Jan. 80.
The venerable Father King has at last
decided to retire from the active manage
ment of the affairs of his parish When
Oakland was not Father King was, and
his name has been inseparably connected
with the history of this city from its
foundation. Father King and Father Ak
erly, who died a year ago. are names that
have always been linked together In
speaking OF ecclesiastical affairs in oak
land.
For forty-flve years Father King has
been In the Catholic ministry on this
coast, and thirty-four of those years have
been passed In Oakland. The respect In
which he is held is not confined to mem
bers OF the creed which he represents
for the aged priest has been among Oak
landers SO long that many who used to
refer TO Father King and Father Akerly
did not know who was the Catholic and
who The Episcopalian.
At the close of his sermon Yesterday the
reverend gentleman stated that two years
ago he suggested To Archbishop Riordan
the ACCESSIBILITY of appointing an admin
istrRtor 10 look after the financial and ma
terial interests OF the parish. leaving the
pastor free to attend to the spiritual work.

the church or to in any way sever his
spiritual connection with his flock, but.
although vigorous for his age, he real
ICES that he is physically unable for
all the work that deVolves upon an active

When Father King took charge Of the
parish, thirty-four years ago, his pasto-
rate included all the territory from Pinole
to Alameda and from the bay TO San Lee
andre At that time this vast territory
did not probably include $1,000 souls.

TURNED OVER TO COMMITTEE
PREMIER DUPUY DOES NOT
WANT TO ACT IN THE DARK.
Major Esterhazy Refuses to Give Tes-
timony Until Heard by the
Entire Court of Cas-
sation.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PARIS. Jan. 30.-The Chamber of
Deputies to-day, by vote of S46 to 1S9.
adopted the Governments proposal to
submit a special committee of the
Chamber the bill providing that cases
of trial revision shall be brought before
the united sections of the Court Of Cas-
sation.
The report of M. Nassau, First Presi
dent of the Court of Cessation. on the
charges of NJ. Quesnay de Beaurepaire.
the former president of the civil section
of that body, will be read before the
committee.
The Minister of Justice, NJ. Lebret,
introduced the bill and asked that 1t be
sent TO a committee. 1t was read amid
profound silence. The preamble of the
measure declaring that the bill was one
of necessity for peace and to restore
calm in the country, was greeted with
applause from the center and murmurs
from the extreme left.
NJ. George de Berry, representing the
first division of the Seine. said the
chairman was not aware why the Gov
eminent introduced the bill and asked
for the official publication of the evil
dence in the case of NJ. Bard, who re-
ported on the Dreyfus case to the Court
OF Cessation. (Cheers.)
The Premier, NJ. Dupuy, said he did
not wish the Chamber to vote in the
dark He was DESTROYS that full light
be thrown on the subject, and there
fore the Government would submit to
the committee the complete documents
in the case (Cheers.)
II developed to-day that the Govern
ment proposed at first that only GER
tain revision judgments should be sub
mitted to the entire Court of Cessation,
but the bill, as introduced, provides
that all revisionS are to be submitted
to the entire court The preamble,
after advancing judicial reasons for
introducing the bill, concludes as fol-
lows: The new bill applies directly
to an AFFAIR which is now profoundly
dividing the nation. Doubtless the OBJ
lection will be raised that the law
is made TO fit certain circumstance.
But Il is above all law of necessity
and appeasement. We believe that the
Judgment of the entire Court of Cassa-
ton will appeal to every one with ire
sistible force and end the agitation
and difference which have too long dis
turbed the nation.
The committee TO which the bill was
submitted. will examine NJ. Nassau
tomorrow and several of the commit
teemen intend also to examine the sus-
pended judges.
Major Count Esterhazy has again
been before the criminal section of
the Court OF Cessation, but II is under
stood that he refuses TO give any fur

insists upon being heard by the entire
court.
