HIS WIFE ILL IN PRISON
REFUSES TO PARTAKE OF FOOD
OR MEDICINE.
Asserts That She Is Being Perse'
cuted and That She Cares
Not What Is Done
With Her.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN RAFAEL, jan 24.-The flight of
Henry Young, the alleged firebug Of
Tiburon, and the arrest of his wife,
Mrs Augusta Young, on a charge of
arson, form the sole topic of conversa-
ton in this city and the place where the
crime was committed. There are few
who do not also criticize in unmeasured
terms the reduction of the missing
mans bail and the suspicious circum-
stances attending the affair.
Both in San Francisco and in Ala
media, where Albert c. Walsshow, the
defendants brother in law, resides, the
police have descriptions of Young and
are endeavoring to discover his where
abouts. Constable Lewis Hughes went
to the metropolis in quest of him to-
day, but nothing in the way of a clew
regarding his hiding place has yet ap-
peared. 1t is believed by the authori-
ties that Young intended to stand trial
until the evidence of his wife's alleged
completely was published in The Call.
Mrs. Young lay in bed in her cell all
day, playing the role of martyr. She
refused a pillow on which to lay her
head, and even while admitting that
she was cold on the previous night
would not state whether or not addi-
told Sheriff Taylor that the last thing
she ever expected of her husband was
to desert her.
Don't let anybody come to see me-"
she requested; II am disgraced and
don't care if I am sent to San Quentin.
If they let me out of here it will be
only two days until I do something to
make them place me back again."
The pretty little prisoner is suffering
from a slight attack of la grippe but
would accept no medicine to relieve
herself. She ate nothing all day, but
announced her intention to partake of
good meals tomorrow in order to be
strong enough to stand the preliminary
examination next Thursday. Delicate
and apathetic as she is, this little wo-
man can "show her teeth" at times.
Il will eat heartily tomorrow" she
declared, with face set and hardened
as she rose on one elbow, "and I will
go before those Tiburon people and
show them my scorn. They are per-
scouting me, but they shall see that
for them I have only a feeling of unut-
terable contempt"

DEBATE ON ARMY
REORGANIZATION BILL
Final Vote on the Measure Will BE
Taken Next Tuesday After

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The debate
on the army reorganization bill opened
In the House to-day under an agreement
by which the general debate is to run
fifteen hours, exclusive of three night
sessions, the final vote to be taken not
later than o'clock next Tuesday. Prac-
tically three propositions are before the
House, the House bill providing for a
standing army of 900 men; the minor
ity substitute increasing the standing
army to so, 600 men and lodging with the
President discretionary power to call out
30 900 volunteers for emergency service and
a proposition to continue temporarily the
regular army at its present war strength
1000 men. 1t is also understood that
Marsh (R) of Illinois will champion the
Miles bill. Among the supporters of the
majority bill there are those who, like
Mcclellan CD of New York, a son of
General George B. Mcclellan. favor a
officers of the line, so as to make the
army organization responsible to a single
head. The fate of the measure is still
considered doubtful, although Chairman
Hull and his friends profess great conf
dence in it's passage. The debate to-day
was not exciting.

TRIAL OF GENERAL
EAGAN BEGINS TO-DAY
Will Probably Plead Not Guilty, and
Then Urge That His Lam
guage Was Justiha ble.

WASHINGTON. Jan. A.-General Mer-
ritt and most Of the members of the
court t-martial which will hear the charges
against General Eagan are in the city.
The court meets at the Ebbitt House to-
morrow morning, and it is not expected
that more than two or three days will be
necessary to complete its work.
General Eagan will plead not guilty in
a general way, and then he probably will
enter the plea of justification. This ac-
ton is customary in cases of this char
acter, but it rests with the court alone
whether or not the plea will be allowed.
1t is not likely that it will be denied Cen
eral Eagan.
Judge Advocate Davis said to-day that
he expects to have no difficulty in prov
ing that General Eagan made the state
ment in the specifications before the War
Commission, even If he cannot produce
the original type-written statement read
by the accused or obtain one of the copies
of it given out by General Eagan.
''The War Commissioners have ears
said he, land heard the statement read"
Colonel Davis said that he would call
very few witnesses. because there is no
necessity for a large number.

F: More Dunham Suspects.

SAN JOSE, Jan. 24.-The Sheriffs office
is being deluged with letters and photo
graphs of Dunham suspects. Two arrived
to-day, one from the Sheriff of La Junta
Colo, and the other from N P. Miller at
Clark, S. D. The photographs make it
plain that neither suspect is the man
wanted. Sheriff Langford is still in a
quandary about the Burlington, Ia, sus-
pect. Earl Parr is due from Iowa on any
train now. When he has been seen it will
be determined whether it is necessary to
send man to Burlington or not to iden-
tify the man. The officers are not so
strong in their hopes that he is the man
as they were a. week ago.

drive the people to desperation, and then demand standing army to shoot them. Such things must not be. No man has right to
 "all he can get Nature pro- vides enough for all, and if it were equitably distributed all would be comfortable and happy. The in stinct of self preservation makes men selfish; selfshness begets greed, and greed, if unchecked, becomes an insane mania to grasp and hold all that comes within it's reach, merely to gratify the love of possession. Men of this class are more dangerous than outlaws. Their immense possessions give them the power to crush all con- petition,.to absorb the savings of other men, and to practically en- slave their fellow citizens. These people should be restrained by the strong but just hand of the law. They are the human hogs who, as Mir. Bryan so truly says, need rings in their noses.-Miss. Valley Democrat.

JUSTICE FOR CAPITAL.

We do not belong to the class
 (if there be such a class) that har- bors hat red for the rich as an ab- stract principle. We have no feel ing but admiration and encourage ments for the man who by indus try, fair dealing and good judg- ment aceumulates fortune. Cap ital IS as essential in natures econ- omy as labor. Neither can exist and be fruitful without the other, and each deserves and should re- ceive the same need of encourage ment.
 But what We hate and will ever contend against are those unfair conditions which enable few to absorb the all that belongs to the many. What justice can there be in permitting man like Russell Sage, who never created dollars worth of value in his life, to add, in the short space of only two or three months, fifteen millions of dollars to the fifty millions or more that he already claims as his own; while million working men shiver in the cold for lack of the means to buy clothing, and their children cry for bread? And why should K ockafeller be per in similarly short space of time, to increase his three hund- red millions by thirty millions moref What can these men do with their multiplied millions?

PUNCTURING PAYNE.

Congressman Payne's labored plea for the Hanna bounty-grab bill in the North American Re- view is being punctured full of holes by number of Eastern newspapers which do not wear the collar of the shipbuilding trust.
 The Boston Herald assails it in vigorous style and the Pittsburg Dispatch says of it: MT. Payne notes that it not only costs more to build an American than British ship, but that it costs more to oper- ate it. Wages and provisions cost more. The English seamen de- mands higher wages to work on an American ship. *+* Yet MT. Payne presents as remedy for this state of affairs the proposition that the United States Govern ment shall enter into competition with the Governments of Great Britan and Germany to see which can pay the largest subsidies to keep the shipping ahoat. He would tax the whole American people to enable few American shlpowners to pay English or Ger man sailors higher wages than they can earn on British or German vessels and increase the American demand for such foreign labor.
 The contention that it costs more to build an American than Brit ish ship is misleading. The Unit ed States have demonstrated over and over again that they can sue cessfully compete with the world in the production of shipbuilding materials-steel and machinery. Not subsidies are needed, but or ders, to develop the facilities of American shipyards. Therein lies the whole problem. Prior to 1S4o ships were built more cheaply in American than in British ship yards. There is no reason why this should not be the case again.
 If the special modification of the registry law which induced the building of the St. Louis and St. Paul and the addition of the New York and Paris of the American line shall be made general. as has been proposed. that provision, and not the subsidy, will permit the flag to follow the lines of trade and make business for American shiPyards.-Republic..
