OSLER FINDS
DISCIPLE HERE

Out of DR.. Osler's remarkable theory
that man reaches the limit of his USE
fulness at fifty years and should then
be chloroformed, there has sprung a
tragedy in this city. The lifeless body
of Timothy w. Chamberlin, a we'll
known pioneer and former Assessor of
Solano County, was found last night in
Golden Gate Park, near Strawberry
Hill.
The discovery was made by two boys,
Philip Coggins of 1710 Diamond street
and Harold Dillis of S27 Jersey street
The body had been exposed to the ele-
ments for several days. The Coro-
ner's Office was notified and the body
removed to the Morgue. Nothing that
would identify the dead man was found
in the pockets. An artificial lower
limb furnished the clew that led to his
Identification. Chamberlin had been
reported missing since last Monday,
and in the Police Bulletin, the official
organ of the upper" Office, mention
was made of this popularity. T. S.
Chamberlin, a son OF the deceased,
identified the remains.
That the unfortunate man died as the
result of the PRONUNCIATION of DR.. Os-
ler's doctrine there can be no doubt.
The son declares that his father was
vocated and often discussed the matter
at home. He had reached the advanced
age of 70 years, and although not flnan-
cially embarrassed was not in affluent
circumstances. Although an expert ac-
| countant he was unable to find employ
ment, and he brooded much over this.
| Applications made to several counting
| houses always met with refusal on ac-
| count Of his age. On last Monday he
| left his apartments at the Hotel Elaine,
| 532 Turk street, where he resided with
| his wife and son, never to return again.
A note on the dresser to his wife con-
veyed the information that he would
not return until he found employment

that he availed himself of the method

RESCUED men
LOSE REASON
Ten of Those Who Survived
the Reservoir Disaster
i'm Madrid Become Maniacs
KING AT HOSPITALS
Students and Laborers March
Through Streets to Gather
Money for the Victims

MADRID, April e.-It appears that
underneath the foundations of the res
ervoir which gave way with such dis
astrous results on Saturday were water
pipes used to supply the palace and old
Madrid. 1t is stated that this was the
cause for the subsidence. The vault
was built of cement. with iron girders.
as were also the supporting columns.
The first fall caused all the pillars to
bend and the end of the ironwork to
stretch. resulting in a general and uni
form collapse. These explanations, how
ever, cannot be considered as final.
Madrid newspapers publish assertions
that the disaster was foreseen by en-
gineers, as well as by workmen- 1t Is
now recalled that the bad condition OF
the soil on which the reservoir was con-
structed caused keen opposition and
numerous criticisms when the scheme
was being discussed in the Cortes.
Ten of those who were rescued alive
have gone mad. A huge crowd stood
around the scene throughout the night
watching the attempts at rescue in the
light of huge electric lamps. Crowds OF
workmen and women carrying flags
forced all the theaters to close Satur-
day night.
King Alfonso had a telephone wire
the palace and was kept constantly in
formed. The King again visited the
hospitals this morning.
Seven hundred workmen are engaged
in clearing the debris. During the day
students and workmen paraded the
streets collecting money for the fami-
lies of the victims Of the disaster. The
public is contributing freely. The Gov
ernor Of Madrid has prohibited a great
popular demonstration of mourning
which the workmen wished to organize,
but he received the delegates Of the
workmen's associations, whom he In
formed that a street procession would
be permitted under certain restrictions.
King Alfonso. accompanied by Seniors
Montiegui and Cobian, respectively
Ministers of War and Marine, and their
suites, left tonight for Valencia,
where the students strike has ended,
night. when the students burned sew
measures have been taken and ii is ex
pected that the King will be warmly
welcomed.
An exact estimate of the casualties
in the reservoir disaster Is still impos-
sible. 1t is stated that there were 236
men in the lower part of the reservoir,
all of whom were killed.
Carrying black banners. 5000 work
men made a demonstration this after
noon near the scene Of Saturdays res
ervior disaster. The police on seizing
the flags were stoned by the crowd, and
several on both sides were seriously in
jured.

SECRET ORDER
PLANS MURDER
Diabolical Plot to Take the Life of Biag-
gio Vilardo Hatched by Gang.
Continued From Page /, Columns and ?.

The whole murderous plot was deep
laid, with the cunning of the men who
fight vendettas in far-away Sicily. Had
the head Of the victim been made away
with his identity might never have
been made known, and the band of
cutthroats might have gone on unde-
tccted with diabolical plots and taken
more innocent lives.
There is mo doubt in the minds of
the police that the Brogardo murder,
the affection shown by Vilardo for his
dead friend, the aid he gave In the
burial and the covert assistance rem
dered the detectives during the prose-
cution Of Ancio Brissile were respon-
sible for the killing of Vilardo. The
intimidation of witnesses and perjury
on the part of those testifying at the
trial of Brissile were the result of the
BLACK Hands strength. The trial
has not yet reached its conclusion.

CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING,
WASHINGTON, April 9.-Approximate
harmony now prevails between the
leaders OF the. Senate and the admins
tration. so far as the Presidents action
in agreeing to the selection OF Ameri-
can citizens TO collect the revenues OF
Santo Domingo Is, concerned. and all
danger of rupture is now believed to
have passed
When Senator Cullom, chairman OF
the Foreign Relations Committee, ar
rived here yesterday he was greatly
disturbed over what was characterized
as the Presidents defiance OF the Sem
ate in entering into an agreement
with Santo Domingo which provided
for doing practically the same things
specified in the treaty which was be-
fore the Senate and which was not rati-
fed Senator Cullom went to see Sec
retary Taft, who is acting Secretary
OF State, TO ascertain what the ad-
rninistration had done in Santo Do
mingo, to learn what precedent or au-
thority the President had for taking
any action after the Senate had de-
clined to ratify the treaty and why the
President had waited until the Senate
adjourned and the Senators had left
the city before he agreed to the propO-
sition TO practically take charge of the
Government OF Santo Domingo.
In fact, Senator Cullom did not like
what had been done and did not hesi-
tate TO say so: but there was no quar-
rel between the Senator and the Sec
retary Of War. Before Senator Gull
lcm left the good-natured and suave
official he was convinced that the
Presidents course was the proper one.
and as a result the Senate will stand
by the President, so far as the Repub-
licans are concerned.
Secretary Taft explained that i'm
mediately after the Senate adjourned
without ratifying the treaty the situa-
tion in Santo Domingo became acute
and that Italy and Belgium threat
ened to take extreme steps to collect
the debts owed by Santo Domingo to
their subjects The peculiar circum-
stances existing demanded that some
thing be done to preserve the status
quo and maintain order. especially as
the Republicans could not muster
enough votes to ratify the treaty.

in the tolls of the law now and the
arrest of Torturici is hourly expected.
The police have valuable information,
but refuse to divulge it at this time,
fearing to allow Torturici chance to
escape.
The police believe that Torturici is
aided in eluding the police by his feI-
low-conspirators, who provide him with
money and hiding place. The detec-
tives are divided as to whether the
murderer is in this city or out of town.
If Torturici is captured, startling de-
velopments will be made. 1t Is be-
lieved that he cannot elude. the police
many more days. The identity of many
of the men who planned the murder of
Vilardo in little hut near Fisher
mans Cove is known to the police, and
at least ten of them may be made ac-
cessories to the crime of Pietro Tor
turici. More arrests are expected to-
day.

Special Dispatch to Tn. Can.

NEW YORK, April 9.-In the course
of his sermon in Plymouth Church,
Brooklyn, to-day, the Rev. DR.. Dwight
Hills referred to the gift of 800, 900
made by John D. Rockefeller to the
American Board of Foreign Missions
and to Rockefeller's son. He said<in
part:
The saddest words that have been written
in this generation were spoken before Brown
University by young man who is to inherit
They were spoken in defense of the trusts.
Listen to them
The American Beauty can be produced
in all its splendor only by sacrificing the early
buds that grow up around it,
The rose had 1000 buds and In order to pro-
around it with a knife and snips 900 in order
that all the strength and beauty may be forced
into one bloom In this economic argument
this young man brutally tells the working
classes that 800 small business men must be
snuffed out of existence in order that his
American beauty. the trust may be produced; e.
burdens of the weak And again "Give
and 1t shall be given unto you
These words in defense of the trusts are the
most heart breaking things In literature to
those who know what is going to come IN the
future. Can YOU wonder that after that when
gives gifts we have no gratitude to re-
turn?
CHICAGO. April 9.-In a sermon to-
day by Bishop Fallows of ST. Paul's
Reformed Episcopal Church on MAX
ing the Best of Tainted Money he
said:
1t is taken for granted that Rockefeller s
methods of obtaining money are reprehenstoie
in the highest degree. Does the acceptance Of
S1Oo COO BIZ the American board condone the
offenses with>which the oil magnate is charged
Does it thereby give him clear passport to
heaven?
No church has accepted his money with any
such condition attached to It. Vas.ar College.

he placed the weapon in his mouth and
