NEGRO SUSPECT IS RELEASED
Nose McLain, Arrested Pending ln-
vestieation Of Murder Clews, Is
Liberated by Police

Nose McLain was set at liberty yes
terday afternoon after having been held
by the police pending the investigation
of new clews to the Eva de la Craye
murder mystery of August II, l9OS
Just what the developments are ano
whether Dancing Nose" as McLain
is known, is implicated cannot be as
certained.
From information gained since the
trial, it has been learned by the police
that McLain assisted Pennington, who
the police believe guilty of the crime,
in cutting off dogs tail and sTnearlng
their hands and clothes with blood on
the afternoon previous to the murder.
Pennington, with several other negroes,
were arrested at the time and Penning-
ton was acquitted August 20, 1903, be-
fore Police Judge Austin on the charge
of murder. Soon afterward Penning-
ton left Los Angeles.
At the time of the murder the De la
Craye woman was living with man
named Drouein near what is now
known as the Hoffman rooming house
on North Main street. At the inquest
II was established that the womans
name was De la Craye and that she had
ouarreled with a man in Marysville
previous to joining Drouein.
Evidence gained by the detectives Is
responsible for the theory of the police
that jealous lover who had quarreled
with the woman in Marysville hired
Pennington to commit the crime.
Detective Mckenzie said: Since the
murder 1 have had my eyes open and
though nothing may come of my eff
forts I will have the satisfaction OF
knowing that 1 have done my duty
There were certain reasons why we
could not hold old Nose, but 1 firmly
believe that he knows great deal
about it and might know more than we
think 1t is a good thing to rid the
city of men like this negro and prevent
further erime.''
The police will work with renewed
energy on the cause and arrests are
expected to follow soon. They do not
mold that it is necessary to make public
their clews and consequently but little
can be learned of the developments.

PopuIace Stampeded

At all events it is related that the
arrival of the British warship at San
Pedro caused universal alarm and sent
everybody running from their homes to
the canyons and mesas. The fright
continued for an entire day, and only
one man, Captain Somebody, was
brave enough to get out on the wharf,
and with a 22-caliber revolver defy the
whole Spanish nation.
Instead OF doing any mischief the
commander of the ship sent his purser
to San Pedro to state that the ship
was out of food, and every pound of
beef and pork, all of the beans and
cheese, butter and bread on sale, to-
gether with every case of bottled beer
to be had, was purchased and placed on
board the vessel. The ship was in the
harbor but twenty-four hours, but in
that brief time business doomed as
never before in the harbor city.
The officers of the Fake assert that
the harbor of San Pedro is one of the
finest that they have visited on their
tour, and they inquired with much in
terest about the extensive plans of the
government for the building OF the
breakwater.
The Herald representative gave to the
officers a copy of the telegram pub
lshed Sunday detailing the disaster
that befell a German torpedo boat in
the bay at Kiel, the result of collision
with the cruiser Undine, when one OFF,
Ger and thirty-two men were drowned.
Second Off1cer Nieden had served on a
sister boat of the torpedo vessel and
was very much affected ON reading
the telegram, though he did not know
any member of the crew.

Mascots Are Popular

The Germans among the visitors
probably enjoyed the trip more than
the Americans, for they were able to
converse with the sailors and obtain
information that served to add interest
to the visit.
Charley" and Mary" two cub bears
Z months old that the crew had pur-
chased at Genoa. Italy. and chatter
ing monkey picked up in the tropics,
the mascots of the ship, were very much
in evidence during the day and served
to amuse and entertain the visitors,
especially the ladies.
The amber fluid in bottles with the
Frisco labels flowed freely in the mess
rooms below and good fellowship pre-
vailed among sailors and visitors.
The Fake is a cruiser Of 100 tons,
27-foot beam and 110 feet in length.
The cruiser was built at the imperial
navy yard at Danzig, Germany, and
launched in 1891. The ship Is out for a
three years. cruise in foreign waters,
with younger members Of the navy.
The cruiser has visited the West Indies,
North and South America, and has but
recNptly returned from a trip in Alas
kan waters. 1t is not known when the
ship will return to Kiel. Beyond the
trip to Panama and around Cape Horn
there is no knowledge of the course of
the remainder of the journey.

GERMAN CRUISER
VISITS SAN PEDRO
HUNDREDS OF SI6HTSEERS GO
ABOARD
Trim Little Fake Casts Anchor inside
the Big 5reakwater-courte
Officers Receive Many
Guests

The great attraction for several
thousand people of Los Angeles and the
coast cities Sunday in the harbor at
San Pedro was the presence Of German
warship Fake.
The Fake is a thoroughly equipped
and well manned sea warrior of the
small cruiser type, about the build of
the third class cruisers of the American
navy.
The Fake, in command of Capt. Am
mann, cast anchor inside the break
water at San Pedro on Saturday morn
Ing, Immediately upon arriving from
San Francisco, where the ship has been
at anchor for six weeks. The stay in
the harbor will terminate on Wednes-
day, when the Fake will steam away
for San Diego and Panama, where half
the crew will be changed, the other half
taking the cars at Panama for Colon,
whence they will board mail steamer
for Germany. The crew will be rein
forced by sailors from Kiel, who will
board the ship for the remainder of
the cruise in foreign waters.
Although the notice was brief, so
great was the desire of fellow country
men to tread the decks of the German
warship that all of the launches in the
San Pedro harbor were required to
transport the crowds to the ship.
Launch after launch loaded to the
guards cut through the water, begin
ming early in the forenoon and still
more were coming at o'clock. The
boat was thronged from stem to stern
and all were cordially received by the
officers, sailors and marines, everybody
being shown the first and secondary
batteries, the rifles, the engines in the
hold and the electric equipment.

VIII Attend Banquet

The former commander of the ship.
Capt. Behnke, was relieved at San
Francisco few days ago by Capt. Am
mann, who, accompanied by Second
officer Nieden, came across the con-
tinent by rail from New York to take
charge of the cruiser. Capt. Behnke
has returned to Germany.
The officers Of the cruiser anticipate
very pleasant stay at San Pedro
and they are looking forward with
much pleasure to the courtesies that
are to be extended by the Pacific Elec-
trio company and the chamber OF COM
merce of Los Angeles, The banquet
at the Angelus Tuesday evening will be
the principal feature of entertainment
for the representatives of Emperor
William.
The principal officers Of the Fake are:
Capt. Amman, commander first Off
GER Bendemann; second officer, Nieden;
third officer, Schrader; lieutenants, Or
mann and Collision; chief engineer,
Marx; surgeon, Settle; paymaster, Lip
mann. Also eight warrant officers and

The Fake Is the first German warshiI
to cast anchor in the San Pedro harbor
Some months ago the italian warshir
Umbria visited the harbor, and one other
warship, a British battleship, entered
the harbor, during the exciting period
of the SpaniSh-American war, when
nobody seemed to know Just where

orally supposed to be headed for Santi-

INTELLECTUAL FINES.
expense.

1t is evident that the District Attorney and
some of the courts have reached the conclusion
that Imprisonment is the proper penalty for
drivers of automobiles who repeatedly break
the law by running their machines at an exces-
sive speed. In that view are sure intelli-
gent public opinion fully comedies. Every pass
ing hour adds to a long list of casualties due to
such reckless disregard of legal obligations and
human life. Last Sunday was naturally a field
day for the men who care nothing for decency
and the rights of others when they are in COM
mand of powerful engine and feel their wonted
passion for squirting and some. at least, of the
offenders would have got no more than their
deserts If they had been sent to jail
1t seems to be the impression of a good many
automobile drivers that they are at liberty to
violate the speed law as often as they choose
to pay tri1ing fine for the privilege That is
an idea which needs to be knocked out of their
heads as soon as possible. What they require
is such treatment as will force into their minds
a practical, if not a moral. perception of the
fact that their offences are fragrant and intol-
cradle. Hitherto they have not seemed to feel
the slightest sense Of modification at being ar
ragned as lawbreakers and found guilty. Too
often, indeed, they have appeared to think that
they had done a rather creditable thing which
it would be pleasure to repeat at the earliest
opportunity. Even the killing or manning of
fellow being rests lightly on their consciences,
if it touches their consciences at ALL and is quick
ly dismissed from their thoughts. To men so
destitute of moral sense, so calous and so
slightly Inconvenience by a small fine it is nee
essary to impart a lesson which they are capable
of approaching.
AS we have often said before, the great ma
jority Of those who use automobiles are careful
not TO abuse them. If they are at fault in any
respect it is in failing TO exercise all the infu-
ence which they possess for the suppression OF
the reckless and the impudent

The reasons for bringing that day nearer as
fast as possible might not be quite so obvious
If Tammany were less deliberate in completing
the approaches of the second East River bridge,
but the apparently needless prolongatlon Of
that work may induce many persons who are
looking for homes to wish for prompt i'm
provement of the present precarious connec-
ton with Staten Island.
Private enterprises in the great field of met
ropotan transportation are carried out, as a
rule with expedition and sagacity. Armies of
men are now at work in various parts of the
city on such contracts under energetic direc-
ton If private tasks of that character were
pushed forward with no more determination
than the city government often exhibits there
would be loud chorus of just complaints. A
good example ought not to be lost on the mu-
nicipality.
