HEARST CRITICIZED
BY SOCIALIST.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

MILWAUKEE,, Aug. Through the
medium Of a Socialist newspaper pub
lished here, the reply of William R.
Hearsts organization, the Indepen-
dence League, to the resignation of J.
G. Phelps Stokes, who left the league
to become Socialist, is announced. In
the same issue Victor L. Berger, a
prominent Socialist writer, replies to
the league and ridicules it's attitude
Incidentally, Berger "roasts" Hearst
for preaching Socialism in his papers
and denying it individually and
through his political organization The
leagues letter to Stokes says that it
stands for "Americanism" as opposed
to Socialism. The vague phrase Ber-
ger analyses and concludes that it
means nothing.
The American method" he said.
has created the most hateful plu-
tocracy any republic has ever known"
and for proof of this statement in de-
tail he refers his readers to the files
of Hearst's newspapers, which, he as
serts, have been preaching Socialism
and even communism for years. With
fine irony Berger then proceeds to ar
que that Hearst does not read the edi-
torials in his own papers, or if he does,
that he has not been converted by
them. He compliments Arthur Bris-
bane, the writer of the editorials, and
laments the award of the credit to
Hearst.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.
TOCKTON, Aug. Although un-
"a der sentence of death by the rope
for taking the life of Albert N.
- Mcvicar upon March "a last,
Emma lie Doux, the trunk murderess,
still has her iron nerve and self-pos
session.
This morning she heard Judge Nut
ter pronounce her doom and set the
date for the execution upon Friday.
October 19, 1906, at San Quentin prison
between the hours of a. m. and noon.
Except for slightly crimsoned face
and throbbing bosom she displayed no
emotion, and the curious spectators
who had gathered to see her break
down at the critical moment went away
declaring, Mrs. lie Doux is a game lit
tie woman"
With light and easy step the SEN
fenced woman went from courtroom
into the ante chamber with a deputy
sheriff and met her mother, Mrs. Mary
Head, who there awaited her. The
meeting between parent and child
seemed almost joyous. Mrs. le Doux
smiled brightly and gathered her aged
mother in a fond and affectionate en-
brace. There were no tears, the con-
demned woman really seeming happy
in the knowledge that her sentence had
at last been pronounced and that the
first chapter in her nerve-wrecking
fight for life had been brought to a
close. 1t was. as if a great load had
been lifted from her mind.
Those who saw her re-enter the Jail
doors with smiling countenance de-
clared that once again inside the iron
barred cell the reaction would come.
Their predictions were untrue. Mrs.
le Douxs appetite did not fail her at
lunch, and tonight she ate hearty
dinner.
Only the Supreme Court and the Gov
ernor now stand between Mrs. lie Doux
and the scaffold, but Attorney Fairall
is leaving no stone unturned in his
fight to save the life of his client, the
first woman ever condemned to death
by process of law in California. The
attorney will appeal. and Mrs. lie Doux
will remain here in the county jail
pending the decision of the higher trl-
bunal. The defense was given until
October 10 to prepare bill Of excep-
tions.
Before passing sentence Judge Nutter
found that the accusations of miscon-
duct made against Judge A c. Ritter
by Charles Murphy and William H.
Smith, the colored man, were false.

ONE MORE BOTTLE
NOTE IS FOUND.

Robert Bassini and Ed Burrows
picked up bottle on the beach yester-
day about one and half miles below
the Cliff House beach, which contained
this note, written with pencil on torn
slip Of paper:
August 1, 1905.
Paul Andrews and Harry Wilson.
We are shanshaied on the English ship
Hartford. Notify Mr.. SaIender, Natoma
street. Don't delay.
The note is probably some amateur
joker's attempt to perpetrate hoax.
Inquiry at the Merchants Exchange
revealed the fact that there is no bark
named Hartford on the British register.
The nearest resemblance to that name
among the English vessels that have
visited San Francisco is in the name of
the British ship fairfield, which sailed
from here for London in June
Adding to the improbabi1ity of the
note in the bottle is the fact that none
of the city directories published either
before or after the fire shows any one
named Salender living or doing busi-
ness on Natoma street.
