Bedford. Ind, Feb. 10.-James Nc
Donald, a teamster, has een arrested
on a warrant charging him with the
murder of Sarah Catherine Schafer in
the cab shed off of l. street on the might
of Jan. 81. The warrant on which Nc
Donald was arrested was sworn out by
Detective Reed before Mayor J. Hick-
son Smith and Prosecutor Miller, the
latter coming here for that purpose.
The arrest was made by Detectives
Smith and Reed, Policeman Myers and
Sheriff Smith. The prisoner was ar
rested at his home and taken i'm a cab
to the Office of S. Il. Lowe, where he
was confined until taken to the JEFF

Reed and Smith.
Found the Final Link.
For several hours the detectives and
their prisoner were closeted together,
the former resorting 10 the usual
sweating method: but whether Melon
aid made a confession Detective Reed
would not divulge. The detectives
search of the alley at go o'clock Mon
day during a terrific downpour of rain
resulted i'm establishing the final link
in the chain Of evidence necessary TO
make an arrest. This evidence proved
to be the footprints of a man and a
woman on a mound of fresh clay
around a telephone pole recently erect
ed in the alley. These footprints faced
each other. Several pickets of the
fence nearby were pulled loose from
their ~fastenings, indicating that a
struggle had taken place.
Plaster Cast of Foot Prints.
On their visit to the fatal alley the
detectives made a plaster of Paris east
of the footprints, and this will be ex-
hibited in evidence against the ae-
cused. The motive of the crime was
tw0-fold, according to the detectives
robbery and rape. The latter was un-
successful, but as to the former De-
fective Reed will not state whether a
clue has been secured. Mcdonald is

WIFE'S CHARGES
Testimony of Mining Super
intendent Directly at Vari-
ance With That of Spouse

The hearing of the suit for divorce
of Edith Childs against Jerome Childs
mining superintendent, yesterday in
Judge Hebbard's court was. quiet COM
pared to the hearing of the day before,
when Mrs. Childs grew hysterical and
attempted to assault her husband af-
ter calling him all sorts of names. The
hearing consisted of the examination
of Childs and several witnesses who
claimed to have knowledge of the
illness Mrs. Childs said she suffered as
the result of Childs' treatment.
Childs' testimony was complete de-
NAL of the charges made against him
by his wife. His attorneys introduced
in evidence a letter written to him by
his wife in which she sends him kisses.
Mrs. Childs admitted having written
the letter, and then volunteered the in
formation that in that letter, when she
addressed Childs as her husband, it
was the first and the only time she
had. ever done so.
At the conclusion of Childs' testi-
mony Judge Hebbard continued the
case until to-day at 2 p. m. in order to
enable physicians, who have treated
Childs, to testify as to his condition.
Suits for divorce were filed by Edythe

der instructions from the Imperial Gov

URGES VOTERS
TO REGISTER
Citizens Alliance Issues a
Proclamation and Presses
Claims of the Ballot-BoX
ETHEi{-S AllLANsccj
49,:

The Citizens Alliance of San Francis
co has issued a proclamation in which
it urges citizens to register and vote
The following is the full text Of the
document:
Dear Sir-At the last meeting of the execu-
tive committee the question of registration or
members was brought up and thoroughly can
Vassed. II is thef opinion of the committee
that the time has arrived in the history of
San Francisco when its liberty loving law
abiding citizens should have something to say
as to who shall govern cur city and administer
our laws The cornerstone of the Citizens
Alliance movement is Law and Order and
to that end all should work regardless of
party affiliations.
While we are not in politics, the fact still
remains that we must stand by men and
the tyranny and oppression of lawless labor
leaders who have dsgraced decent unionism
ana deprived II of public sympathy by advo-
catlng the un-American idea of boycotts and
pickets and condoning assaults and violence
visited upon those who desire to exercise the
God-glVen right to earn a living, and which
right is guaranteed every man by the Federal
Government.
Tn, time is here for every good American
citizen. regardless of race, color, creed, po-
htlcal or social affiliation to see that his
name Us on the registration books and that his
vote is cast and counted at the proper time
ana place. We, therefore, urge upon you 10
see that you are registered. Let us vote our
sentiments at the ballot-box.~ and by so doing
set an example of good citizenship. Strikes
that involve riots and destruction of property
are expensive luxuries which may be avoided
py seeing to II that men elected to office are
pledged to administer the law justly and fairly
TO all.

FIRE LIMITS
NOT SETTLED
Supervisors Hear Protests
Against Proposed Exten-
sion North to Pine Street

4 A number of property owners ap-
peared yesterday before the joint Com
mittee on Fire and Finance to voice
their protest against the proposed or
dinance extending the fire limits The
Fire Commissioners and Assistant Fire
Chief Dougherty were also in attend
ance
The committee during the discussion
decided as a matter of additional pre-
caution to amend the building ordin-
ance by providing that wooden-frame
buildings shall be limited to height of
three stories and be not over forty-five
feet in height, instead of fifty feet, as
at present. The amendment also re-
quires all spires of churches and towers
of breweries higher than forty feet in
height shall have such parts as are
higher covered with fire-proof> mate
rials.
Chief Sullivan of the Fire Depart
ment favored making the limit along a
line 1871 feet northerly from Sutter
street to Van Ness avenue. The COM
mittee, however, had recommended that
the line be extended to line 1879 feet
north of Pine street, as favored by the
Fire Commission.
Ralph c. Harrison, representing prop
erty owners on the north and south
sides of Pine street, opposed the extern
SIGN, saying there was no greater dan
ger from fire in that neighborhood than
in any other portion of the city, and if
the buildings were destroyed it would
be necessary to erect at great expense
brick buildings for residences. MeSsrs
Chaser, Harms, Thurston, Cailleau,
Wainwright, Ferris and Dinan objected
to extending the limit to Pine street,
but favored making 1t on Sutter street,
as Chief Sullivan had recommended.

speeial psspsteh . &c can.

SAN QUENTIN. April 21.-Thomas
o'Brien. an inmate Of San Quentin
prison, came near committing murder
few nights ago when he stabbed his
cellmate.
O'Brien occupied a cell with another
convict whose term was 10 expire in a
short time. They had had several al
tercations, but were given separate
cells. A couple of nights ago O'Brien
attacked his cellmate and stabbed him
several times with scissors. O'Brien.
who was employed in the jute mill. had
succeeded in secreting the weapon in
side his prison garment. He made a
vicious attack and his combatant re-
ceived numerous gashes.
The guards who entered the cell sep
srsted the men. O'Brien's credits will
be taken away for a violation Of the
prison rules.

PROTEsTANTs ARE HEARD.

Protestants against including the
block bounded by Steuart, East, How
ard and Folsom streets were represent
ed by Charles w. Slack, who said the
expense of filing in the land to sustain
brick buildings would be greater than
the value of the property. The commit
tee suggested that one-half of the block
which was already filled in and bulk
headed be included in the limits, but
took the matter under advisement
Assistant Chief Dougherty argued in
favor of extending the limits to Pine
street, because if fire started on the
hill 1t might go 10 the waters edge.
''The whole people must be taken
into consideration in this matter" said
Deugherty. Frame buildings are GO
ing up with alarming rapidity, and the
danger is fearful. Look at the Balti-
more fire. which took place in a COM
paratively fire-proof district. If a fire
had started on the hill during the Bald
win Hotel fire the entire city might
have been burned down. Old firemen
have stated that 1t would be impossible
to place hose in the back of the
frame buildings in the lodging-house
district"
IF we wanted TO save our city" said
Brandenstein, I'VE should have to order
the present frame. buildings torn down
and have the owners compensated. 1t
seems to me that the better plan is to
limit the height of all frame buildings,
which would minimize the danger
The committee having heard all the
protestants, it was decided to take the
matter under advisement at a confer
ence to be held with the Fire Depart
ment on Monday next at $3.50 a. M, at
which time report will be filed with
the board.
The committee considered suggest
ed compromise to make. the northern
limit along the center line of Pine
street, and Dougherty said he would
agree to 1T. Formal action, however,
will be taken at the joint conference. X
