OLD SAM OF OAKLAND
Aetsstss ORDERED TO BE SHOT.
Fire Department Will End Troubles
of veteran Horse That Was
the City's Pride

OAKLAND, Jan. 27.-Sam. vet
eran member of the Oakland Fire De-
partment and one of the team Of
horses that several years ago won a
prize in San Francisco as the finest
fire horse team on the Pacific Coast,
has been condemned to death. Old
age is slowly depriving the noble ami
NAL of his faculties. Impairment of
teeth and other infrmities have pre-
vented him from eating and old Sam
has been starving to death.
ITO put the fine fellow out of his
misery and to insure against an ignoble
end of the faithful animal, possibly in
a junk peddler's cart, Chief Engineer
Ball of the Fire Department to-day
obtained permission from the Board of
Police and Fire Commissioners to have
Sam shot.
Sam is twenty years old. Fifteen of
his years have been spent in respond
ing t4 the call of duty He was a
remarkably intelligent horse in his
prime and took an almost human in
terest in his exciting life. Chief Ball
and his men are greatly attached to
Sam, who has been a pet of the de-
partment ever since he and his mate
wGn the laurels named. In his last
days the horse has been cared for with
every comfort. But the gradual break
Ing down compelled the Chief to act.
II Sam were simply condemned and
ordered sold his few remaining days
might have been ignominious and that
no ffremen would willingly consent to.
So a bullet tomorrow will end all his
troubles

pistol. They appeared in response to
the announcement that she was going

1t was with a rustic of silks that she
proceeded to the witness. stand, folIowed
by the three-year- tot or ch1ld

attorneys Office began. She said that
she had no means of support and that
her husband as a tailor and eoatmaker
earned $40 q week. He passed her on
the way to the stand to tell, his side or
the case, and testified that he did not
make over half that sum. Judge Mel
win made an order granting her $40 a
month.

!. Attorney Van Cott Argues
for the Utah Senator Be-
fore Inquiry Committee

WASHINGTON, Jan T.-Argunnents
for the defense were made to-day in
the Smoot investigation before the Sens
ate Committee on Privileges and Elec-
tions. They were preceded by reply
of Judge Tayler. attorney for the pro-
testants, who answered questions pro-
pounded by Senator Knox.
Judge TayIer said the chief charge
against Senator Smoot was that he was
the integral part Of the quorum OF
twelve, which he declared to be all
there was to the Mormon church. The
president of the church. said Judge
Tayler, was the creature Of the quorum
of apostles and could be removed
by it
Judge Tayler quoted from the testi-
mony of Senator Smoot and other witt
nesses concerning their beliefs in revel-
ations and said that all the persons
who were committed to such beliefs
were disqualified to sit as Senators. He
stated that If no attention had been at
tracted to the church by violations Of
the law it was not likely that religious
belief would have been brought into
the discussion, but that polygamy was
the result of revelations. This imme-
diate contact with God, through per-
sonal revelations, he declared to be suf-
ficient to disqualify any person for the
position of Senator, no matter what his
creed.
AS reasons why Smoot should retain
his seat, Van Cott gave the following:
That Smoet could not have secured the
Legislature without the aid of the gen.
tile voters; that he opposed the Evans
bill, which was vetoed by the Cover
nor; that he encouraged the State Su-
perintendent in driving religious classes
out of the public schools and that he
was not polygamist. He then made
the declaration that if Smoot should
be unseated it would solidify the Nor
mons more than ever.
Van Cott opened his argument by
declaring the contention of the protest.
ants TO be untenable in that they admit
they could charge Senator Smoot with
no offense recognizable by law and that
the only thing brought against him
was that he believed in revelations.
Emphasis was laid by Van Cott on the
fact that Senator Smoot had never re-
ceived a revelation and that there was
no indication that he ever would. He
declared that Senator Smoot was being
prosecuted on the ground that his re-
ligiOn at some time might cause him to
commit an overt act.
He deprecated what he termed to be
an attempt to return to theedark ages
of religious prosecutions. Van Cott
then summed up the testimony of wit
nesseS who were examined in relation
to the politics of Utah and Idaho,
which he declared failed to show one
instance Of interference in politics.

APPARENT DEATH POSSIBLY TRANCE
This Mdy Explain Unusual Experience Of BOu
Who Was Picked Up Unconscious.
O'LEARY'S CASE PUZZLES THE DOCTORS
Oakland Office San Francisco Call.
1016 Broadway, Jan. 27.

oakland O1l1ce San FRANCISCO Call
1016 Broadway, Jan. q.
The case of Paul O'Leary, who was
found in a comatose state last night in
front Of his home at $50 Twenty-eight
street, soon after his father had re-
ceived a mysterious message over the
telephone that the young man had COM
mitted suicide, rests unsoIved by the
police.
Though the boy, when he regained
consciousness, told his folks he had
been assaulted by a tall dark man,
there was not a sign of violence visible
to the practiced eyes of DR.. E. N. Ever,
the physician who was called to the
house as soon as the senseless youth
had been taken there. Not q particle
of evidence could be, found to indicate
such an attack.
There are some evidences that the
deep coma was a trance.
When OLeary was found lying as If
dead near the house. Special Policeman
Emigh could not discover sign of life.
The young man was in what might
have been a cataleptic. state. There
was not enough respiration or pulse
to be distinguished by the patrolman.
His report that the man was dead was
made to the Coroner, who sent the
Morgue wagon to the place. Only by
accident was O'Leary's real condition
disclosed. Detective George Kyle
flashed an electric hand lamp in the
face of the prostrate youth, and no.
ticed a slight tremor of his eyelids. The
officer had aroused the family and
medical attention was quickly given.
Some papers and a pocket knife that
belonged to O'Leary were found near
him, but If he was attacked by foot
pad, the assailant took nothing from
him, for his money was undisturbed in
his pockets. The boy said he had drawn
the knife for self-defense after he had
been struck on the head. The police
do not credit this statement because
blow severe enough to knock the VIC
tim down would have dazed him so
that he- could not have moved to save
himself.
DR.. Ever after a careful examination
gave. the opinion to the police that the
patient had been suffering from Sc
we're attack of nervous hysteria- 1t is
not certain that the boy telephoned the
message Of death himself, but the in
dications are strongly that way in view
of his actions several months ago when
he was sent under restraint to the re-
ceiving hospital because his people
feared he might do harm to himself.
80 far as the police are concerned the
investigation was dropped to-day, as
there seemed to be nothing tangible
upon which to work from the point of
rEieMvQf a criminal Q,Leary was
much Improved to-day.

AGRICULTURAL BILL PASSED.
Free Seed Distribution Called Petty
Larceny in House.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The House
to-day passed the agricultural appro-
priation bill without material amend
mert. The usual discussion of free
seed distribution was indulged in, Lii
ley of Connecticut censuring it as petty
larceny. The relative value of the cot
ton statistics as supplied by the Cen
sus. Bureau and Agricultural Depart
ment also furnished the theme for a
lively debate.
Williams of Mississippi revived the
discussion as to retired officers of the
army serving with the militia, when
Hull of Iowa asked unanimous consent
that the Senate amendments to the
army appropriation bill be sent to con-
ference. The Senate substitute for the
House provision was acceptable to
Williams, for he moved to concur in
that particular amendment. He asked
Hull to make the motion to concur, but
Hull declined, saying he was much op-
posed to the amendment because If the
legislation was proper It was just as
proper to make it retroactive.

AFRAID OF THE STURGIS BILL.
The Situation in ROckland and Camden.
ROckland Star March 18th.

Rockland Star March 18th.
The air of wOrriment upon the faces of
liquor saloon keepers deepens as the day of
the probable passage by the House of the
Sturgis bill draws nearer. The general
opinion seems to be that most of the more
respectable; saloons will go out of business
by the last of the week.
The kitchen bars and places where liquor
is sold that carry no license will probably
do more business than they have in the
past. because having everything to gain and
nothing to lose they will be willing to take
much greater chances than the men who
are not willing to go to Jail for the sake of
possible profits in the liquor business.
SAID one hotel man to the Star last night
"a man must be fool to run the risk of
going to Jail for selling liquor for the
amount of business he can do here Under
the Sturgs bill as passed no liquor seller is
safe, for while he may know the local
officers and be prepared for them he will
never be able to tell when a special liquor
constable from somewhere or other created
bar and demand drink and pinch the
whole OUTFIT
If the Sturgis bill should be enforced
here as it is planned to be enforced in
other cities and towns in the State, ROc.--
land will probably see repetition of the
conditions which prevailed in Bath when
special liquor cOnstables were sent to that
city: The pocket peddler and the sandpeep,
"reminiscences of the Pearson regime in
cumberland county, will also be likely to
become prevalent here as result of the
new conditions.
1t was reported in Rockland last night
that the three bars in Camden and one in
Rockport had closed their doors for good
Saturday night.
