Watch

of the Second street bridge. He claimed
that the robber fired two shots to prevent
him from escaping and compelled him to
deliver up his watch and chain and money
at the point Of pistol
Van Anden in making his report stated
that at the time of the hold-up he was on
his way home. He SAID he had reached
a point little below the Second street
bridge when the footpad, approaching him
from the opposite side Of the street, point

STUDENTS ARGUE
ON ANNEXATION
The Commercial Society
Wins From Vacaville
High School.
Judges Are Out a Long Time
Before Reaching a
Decision.

Under the auspices of the Debating
League of California, the Commercial
Evening Debating Society and the Vaca-
vile High School had a lengthy debate
last night at the Girls High School aud
itorium. So closely contested was the
debate that the three judges used the
best part of half an hour to decide where
honors rested. They finally decided in
favor of the Commercial Society.
The subject was: Resolved, That the
annexation Of the Philippine Islands is
detriment to the United States" The
Commercial Society, represented by David
E. Marchus. E. ]. Reilly and r. s. Law
lor, had the affirmative. The negative
was in the hands Of the Vacaville High
School, represented by Hugh Bucking-
ham, Jourdan Hayte and Joseph Koford.
Charles Wesley Reed, H. Barcar and Pro-
fessor Martin Flaherty Of the University
of California were the Judges.
David E. Marchus opened the debate
for the affirmative. He said that t.le
United States in annexing the Philippines
has violated the principles of natural
law. He also declared that the purposes
of freedom as well as freedom itself were
subverted by the annexation of the Phil
ippine Islands
Hugh Buckingham was the first to
speak for the Vacaville students. He said
We have sown. now we must reap. Now that
the United States has become factor In the
great international drama the part must be
played out. We have tried the fortunes of
war and must now act upon our victories. The
Oriental trade or anything which makes us
closer to the Oriental countries must be
nurtured. Other things being equal the friend
ship of nations increases as the distance be-
tween them decreases. The possession of the
Philippines will tend to increase the friendship
between the United States and other countries
f. ]. Reilly had the next inning for the
affirmative He said:
We will look at this question from the po-
litical standpoint. If We look at the Filipinos
subjects we get into trouble. Has not the
constitution guaranteed life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness? We know that American
labor cannot suffer the introduction of Filipino
labor into country Although we have our
flag floating over the Philippines the inhab-
itants import but very small percentage OF
the total.
Jourdan Hayte, second speaker for the
negative, expounded the doctrine of ex-
raEsion. He said that the history of this
country shows nothing but expansion.
Louisiana, Florida, Texas, California and
Alaska were made examples in the evil
dcnce for the benefits of expansion
r. S. Lawlor was the last speaker for
the affirmative side. He said we could
not expand in territory occupied by ninety
people to the square mile when we in
America have territory occupied by only
twenty to the square mile.
With Joseph koford rested the closing
for the negative. r. 8. Lawlor took up
the rebuttal, and when he had concluded
the judges retired to deliberate upon
decision.

who deserted his young wife of a few
months to marry a second time, had his
preliminary examination before City JUS
tice Cobb to-day on a charge of bigamy.
A few days ago a similar charge against
Pinard was dismissed in the Superior
Court, after he had once pleaded guilty,

to the complaint, could not testify against
him.

Alvord. but left her and married Stella
Herman without procuring a divorce.
The two women. when they learned that
Pinard had played both false, decided to
punish him, and Mrs. Pinard No. swore
to complaint. He was held to answer,
but when the case came to trial his at
torney contended that Mrs. Pinard could
not testify against her husband. Mrs. Pin
ard No. then swore to another COM
plant. Not being his legal wife, she will
be enabled to testify against him.
Evidence was taken to-day to prove
Pinard had committed bigamy The case

unfortunate woman, the head resting on
the floor and the feet on the bed. A bot
tie, in the bottom of which was a small
quantity of muriatic acid, was on the
bureau. This bottle had been in the base
ment and was used by Mr.. Stephens for
cleaning shells for his shotgun. Burns
on the dead woman's mouth and chin
showed that she had swallowed some of
the acid. The gas stop was opened to
its fullest extent and the room was full
of the lethal fumes. There was no scrap
of writing found that would throw any
light on the woman's reason for self de-
struction.
Deputy Coroner Brown visited the
Stephens residence and made an investi-
cation. He was satisfied that the unfor-
tunate woman was demented when she
committed the deed. The body was al
lowed to remain at the home.
Mrs Stephens was a native of San
Francisco and 2S years old. Her parents
reside in this city.

Its Introduction in Philadelphia
by Beniami franklin.

Professor Magee of the University of
California delivered another Of his inter-
esting lectures on physical culture last
night in the auditorium of the Y. M. c..
A. building. The professor described IN
an entertaining manner the history Of
physical culture in the schools and COL
ieges of this country, beginning with it's
introduction in Philadelphia by Benja-
min Franklin. The speaker declared that
Thomas Jefferson was a firm advocate
OF bodily exercise and was instrumental
In having 1t introduced in the University
Of Virginia.
The professor stated that in the begin
ming the teachers neither had the train
ing nor inclination to gain success in the
domain Of physical culture. He said that
the apparatus was usually exposed to the
weather. that little interest was mani
Tested by the instructors and that little
or no money was forthcoming to con-
struct and equip gymnasiums. He as

CHAPMAN UNDER
GRAVE SUSPICION

sorry to the Murder
Of Mole.
Dolan Gives Himself Up but
Refuses to Talk of the
Crime.

John NJ. Dolan, believed to be the MUIR
derer Of Alfred A. Mole, who was stabbed
TO death on O'Farrell street early Friday
morning, gave himself up at the Hall Of
Justice yesterday morning. He refuses
TO discuss the murder or TO answer ques-
tons. Meanwhile Hugh B. B. Chapman,
who was with Mole and Dolan for some
hours prior to the murder, has caused
suspicion to be directed at him by his
contradictory statements, and he as well
as Dolan will be held in custody until
after the Coroner's inquest at 10 o'clock
tomorrow forenoon.
Detectives Tom Gibson and HamiI are
satisfied that Dolan is the man who
plunged the knife into MOle's heart. They
are also convinced that Chapman saw
the b1awl, even if he did not participate
in It. 1t is even possible that Chapman
and Dolan are the two men who followed
Mole home Saturday night q week ago
and tried to force an entrance to his
room, and a whom he fired FIVE shots
Chapman at first admitted to the de-
tectives that he saw Dolan strike Mole
Later he denied having made such state
ment, and last night he brazenly told
Gibson that he had made no statement
Of any kind, though there were seven
witnesses to his statement to the detec-
tivcS.
Dolan is a stocky young fellow of hard
character and bad record. He has been
living at go O'Farrell street with a
woman known at 19 Bacon place as Clara
Dolan. 1t was she who was taken TO
the police station Friday night and
locked up. The man arrested at the same
time was Thomas Casey, who occupies
the rear bedroom of the suite in which
Dolan and the woman have lived. Dolan
had been drinking heavily and keeping
under cover since the murder, but yes
terday morning, when he learned that the
woman and Casey were locked up, he
went in and surrendered himself, saying
he might as well face the music" He
refuses to talk until he has seen an at
tOrney, but he shows unconcern about
getting lawyer, having evidently been
coached by one before he surrendered
himself
