BODY OF BABY
THROWN TO DOGS
Coffin Containing Re
mains Found Off the
COlma Road.

A small coffin containing the corpse of
a Chinese baby was discovered yesterday
morning about a quarter Of mile below
Colma- The dogs of the neighborhood
were gnawing through the thin boards
trying to reach the body. Two farmers
in the vicinity found the coffin and re-
ported the case to the Constable at Col
ma. Information of the discovery was
sent to the local Police Department and
Detective Tom Ryan was put on the case.
Harry Beeler was arrested after an in
vestigation and confessed to the facts
which account for the presence of the
body near the Colma road.
Wong HI, Chinese undertaken, en-
gagged Beeler and Sam Sherman, idle ha-
bitues of Chinatown, to take the body of
the baby to the cemetery in San Mateo
County. Beeler was paid 81 % for the
prospective services and with burial Ii
cense, started out Monday afternoon with
the coffin. Sherman and Beeler were none
too sober at the time of starting. When
they reached Colma they tired of their
job and after going a short distance far
ther they threw the coffin over a fence
and returned to town. Beeler confessed
to his inhuman action. alleging drunken
ness as the reason. Sherman has not yet
been arrested, but Ryan expects to cap
ture him to-day.
The Chinese baby was two months old.
The body was removed to Redwood City.
Beeler will be taken there also and held
to answer for violation of a burial ordi-
nance.

ONE IN DOUBT,
OTHER RESIGNS
Republicans Seek Men
to Round Out the
Ticket.
Ineligible Candidate for Su-
pervisor Sends In With
drawal.

Albert F. Roberts filed a communica-
ton yesterday with the Election Commits
sion requesting that his name be with
drawn from nomination as Supervisor on
the Republican ticket. Roberts assigns
as a reason for resigning that he was reg
istered in San Jose four years ago and the
charter requires a residence Of five years
in this city for nominees.
The old Republican County Committee,
of which Augustus Ti1den is chairman,
will meet tonight for the purpose Of fill
ing the vacancy on the ticket caused by
the withdrawal of Roberts. Official no
tice of Adam Andrews withdrawal may
be fled before the committee meets. In
that event there will be two vacancies to
fill. 1t is doubtful If Asa R. Wells friend,
B. P. Flint, can be persuaded to go on
the ticket at this time. 1. j. Truman,
Colonel Joseph G.. Giesting and Colonel
Fred Burgin are mentioned as acceptable
men. Colonel Giesting is a Grand Army
man and National Guardsman. He was
a delegate from the Fortieth Assembly
District in the late Republican conven-
ton. Colonel Burgin was formerly presi-
dent of the Donahue railroad and is one
of the executors of the estate of Mervyn
Donahue.
The fact is noted by the politicians that
late Republican convention is to fill the
vacancies The Tflden committee, over
which there hangs a cloud, is to act.
Some of the politicians suggest that the
Bouvier County Committee should get in
and assert its right under the law to act
for the party. The new County Commit

bly, district and eighteen at large. making
ninety all told will not enter the political
arena as governing body until January
l, 1902. The calculations are that the body
will hold office for two years and be in
possession of the works throughout the
gubernatorial campaign of next year and
the municipal campaign of the year fol-
lowing. The committee will not amount
to much as a governing body If the pri-
mary election law holds good, but the
push politicians are guessing that the Su-
preme Court will overthrow the law on
account of the provision requiring voters
to sign their names and indicate their
party afiliation.

R|CE'S S[AYERS
ARE ARRA|CNEO
Their Counsel Asks for
a Continuance Of
One W eek.

William Buckley, Thomas Moran,
Charles Donnelly and Edward Duncan,
the four men charged with the murder of
George w. Rice the non-union machin-
ist, at Twentieth and Howard streets Fri
day evening, appeared before Judge Mo-
gan yesterday. Benjamin Rice, a brother
of the murdered man, swore to complaints
before the cases were called charging
each of the defendants with murder.
When the cases were called Attorney
Hutton explained that he was associated
with Attorney Cleveland L. Dam as coun-
view of the fact that it would require
some time to transcrrbe the testimony
taken at the Coroner's inquest, that a
continuance be granted for a week. Jo-
seph Coffey, who appeared as special pros
ecutor, said that w. ]. Piatt and his
daughter Erline, who are important wit
nesses, had made arrangements to leave
the city on an extended vacation, and if
the defense would agree to their testi-
mony being taken he would not object to
the weeks continuance.
Hutton objected strenuously to any tes-
timony being taken, and insisted upon the
continuance. The Judge called Piatt to
the stand and questioned him as to his
arrangements for leaving the city. He
replied that he wanted to get away as
soon as he could, but a day or two
would not make any difference.
The Judge thereupon ordered the de-
PENDANTS arraigned, despite Hutton's OBJ
Monday morning at II o'clock, when the
preliminary examination will take place.
The defendants with the exception of
Duncan seem to realize the gravity of
at every one who looked in his direction
and appeared to feel a certain pride in
the notoriety attached to the horrible
crime

COLLINS FINDS A MIST
OF ALLEGED BLUNDERS
Spends a Whole Day Trying to Turn
the Court From It's Erro-
ueous Wavs

Walter n. Dimmick- eX-chief clerk of
the Mint, sat in the United States Dis
trict Court during the whole of yester-
days session probably The most interested
listener TO the argument of George D.
Collins. his lawyer, on the motion for a
new tr.al. Collins calmly told the court
that ii was his heartfelt opinion that the
court ano the jury and the counsel for
the Government special and official, had
ell gore wrong
According 10 Collins argument, Judge
de Haven was the greatest offender, haV-
ing committed a legal blunder every time
he had refused TO read one of Collins
instructions to the jury and every time
he had modified the instructions sub
Initted on behalf of Dimmick. I he jury
had gone away back from the law and sat
down upon the rights CT the defendant
when il brought in a verdict of conviction
upon evidence which to Collins unbiased
and unpreJudiced mind had no material
bearing upon the charges in the indict-
ment-
The prosecution had blundered also, he
said, when it made a distressing refer
ence TO an item in Dimmicks private
memorandum book, a matter that had
not been allowed in evidence at all.
Judge de Haven ordered an adjourn
ment until 10 o'clock this morning. by
which hOlr all the parties concerned will
have recovered from the shock.

and the personality of candidates, while merit

which are based the glories of our American
citizenship and the stability of our American
institutions.

Possession of Money Not Sin.

Is this the kind of Mayor the citizens Of San
Francisco desire? Do they want the bosses
on the one hand to have control of all the
municipal officers, and the railroad. water
gas and other corporations to engineer all the
legislation? If 1 can judge the temper Of the
people they certainly do not.
On the other hand, our present Mayor is the
owner of millions of which he never earned a
dollar by work. The present Democratic nom
inee Is also, 1 informed. the owner of a
large fortune by inheritance which enables
him to move in society and to maintain the
dignity of his position Do not misunderstood
me-money is not objection. The mere fact
of ts possession is no sin and disqualified
ton and of itself is no argument against hold
ing of office and what say is not an attack
on wealth, inherited or earned mean merely
that its possession should not seemingly be
the only qualification for office. mean merely
that there lies ever in the constant and re-
curing nomination Of such gentlemen whose
greatest qualification is their prominent fnan-
cial standing (and they have been nominated
for years and years., an implied accusation
against the honest masses of the people-an
imputation Of unreliability, responsibility ig-
norance, dishonesty or of vice-an imputation
which is sometimes, indeed, not carried silently
but Is often openly expressed. 1 maintain
that such situation is not fair or conducive

tions in reference to the management of

POLITICAL.

The present promises to be one of the
qnietest February campaigns the town
has had in several years. The Republi-
cans, having no candidate for justice of
the peace, which is the principal Office to
be filled, are not disposed to take much
interest In the general result. In the
wards the Democrats are unassaiable
in the Fifth and Sixth, while the Repub-
licans have majorities in the others.
Under the circumstances the voters will
likely be spared the annoyance which
has been given them in previous local
campaigns.
Charles c. Boczkowski, who was given
the empty honor of Republican nomi-
nation for justice OF the peace and who
could not have his name printed on the
ballot because the convention was held
too late, announced himself on Saturday
as an independent candidate for the
office, but has since reconsidered the
matter and has withdrawn.
