FRANKLIN ID. McAuliffe, accused of the
murder OF Fred Mulinix on the Ocean
Beach on August II, by the testimony
yesterday in Judge Dunne's court of
policeman F. M. Black, who took Nc
Aulire's confession shortly after his
arrest, and that of J. B. O'Connor
and Miss Helen Brazil, who were near
the scene of the murder on the night
when Mulinix was killed while resist
ing an attempted holdup.
Black refuted many of the state
ments that have been made by the ac-
cused by testifying to the confession
made to Policeman Dow and himself
after 'McAuliffe's arrest.
The accounts given by Miss Brazil
and O'Connor concerning their knowl-
edge of the murder were similar in all
details. both testifying that they had
seen the young highwaymen near the
Cyclers' Rest on the evening OF the
murder.
The conductor of the car on which
the boys travelled to the beach was an

Ward also took the stand and gave
testimony which materially strength

fendant. The trial was continued until

INFERIOR FUEL OIL CAUSES
SHORTAGE OF GAS SUPPLY

OAKLAND, Nov. 2S.-Inferior fuel oil,
containing unusual amount of i'm
pure matter, especially sulphur, which
because of shortage in supply the
Oakland Gas. Light and Heat Company
has been compelled to accept for the
manufacture of gas, is the cause of the
trouble now being experienced by gas
consumers in this city. Owing to the
large percentage of by-products in the
gas it has been found impossible to
thoroughly purify the product, with the
result that an unusual percentage Of
sulphur has found its way into the
mains, causing the suffocating fumes
which of late have caused SO much COM

Bulletin Of the Promotion
Committee Shows Advance
in State and This City
INVESTMENTS LARGER

Prosperity throughout California and
in San Francisco in particular is the
keynote of the resume of November's
business that will appear in the No
vember number of the Bulletin of Pro-
gress to be issued by the California
Promotion Committee on December l..
In the Bulletin particular emphasis is
laid upon the increased investment of
outside capital in many commercial and
Industrial enterprises in the State.
Careful investigation in San Francisco
shows that no money has been with
drawn and that large sums for invest
ment have come in. The Bulletin says
in part:
The adoption of amendment thirteen
at the election has already had good
effect on the minds of Eastern capital
lists and will have the result of in
creasing their investments in Califor-
MIA on account of the mortgage tax
now being made optional
In manufacturing lines in all interior
cities there has been greatly increased
production to meet accelerated de-
mand.
In San Francisco, retail merchants
report constant demand for high class
goods. Cheap goods, especially in
clothing and similar lines, are in com
paratively little demand. All classes
of merchants report better business
than before the fire. The records show
that the two important failures since
the fire really occurred prior to April
is. but were not recorded until the re-
sumption of business in June.
Banks of all classes report heavy
business with greatly increased de-
posits. Large loans are being made
on real estate for the purpose of re-
building thereon"

OAKLAND, Nov. 2S.-Eli Gates, one

son, will probably have a chance to try
out in fast company next summer
Gates was highly recommended to
Frank Chance, manager OF the cham
pion Chicago national team, by Bill
Reidy, team mate Of Ellis, and it is
believed that on the strength OF Reidys
opinion the Eastern man will draft
Gates.
Connie Mack. manager of the Phila-
delphia Americans, seems to have
thought better of his determination TO
draft young Randolph, the Alameda
High School boy who made good with
Los Angeles last season. though he be-
longs to the Oakland club. Mack now
thinks Randolph is too young for the
big league, and in consequence, unless
some other Eastern club takes him he

CAPTAINMACOMBER
IS ACQUITTED
Court Finds That Showing
Sailor Aside to Save Ship
in Arctic Was Justified
HEACOCK INDIGNANT

With much feeling. amounting almost
10 judicial Indignation. United States
Commissioner BeacOck yesterday spoke
his mind respecting the conduct of the
prosecution against Captain w. 4.
MacOmber, master OF the whaler
Thrasher. who on August 2s, 1905,
showed Charles c. Langdon away from
the wheel and saved the vessel from
running into an archipelago Of ice
cakes near Point Barrow. For that
shove Langdon caused Captain Ma
cOmber's arrest on charge Of beating
and wounding.
After having heard the testimony Of
the complaining witness and several
sailors on one side and of other sailors
and the officers on the other, Judge
lfeacock dismissed the case. In the
course of his remarks Judge Heacock
said:
at the time this assault is alleged
TO have taken place the ship was actu-
ally in danger OF colliding with noating
ice and much excitement prevailed be-
cause Of the unsuccessful chase after a
whale. and the stupidity or incapacity
OF LangdOn to understand the order
given him by the master to port the
helm caused him to do the reverse At
that moment the ship was actually in
peril and any officer would have been
justified in jumping down into the
NvheelhOuse and fixing the wheel so as
TO place the ship out Of danger. don't
believe that any blow was struck, and
from the evidence / don't think the
prosecuting attorney believes so
either"
Assistant United States Attorney Nc
Finley smiled mysteriOusly at this ap-
peal, but failed to admit or deny the
Implication.
In answer to questions by Bert
Schlesinger, Captain Macomber said
that he gave the order to port the helm
so as to prevent the ship from colliding
with an iceheld. Langdon in the wheel
mouse failed TO give the customary re-
ply TO signify that he had heard the
order. and starboarded the helm. When
the master saw that his order had been
reversed he jumped down into the
syheelhouse through the scuttle, showed
Langdon away from the wheel and
ported the helm himself. He placed his
open hand against Langdon's mouth
and showed him out of the way, but
neither struck nor kicked him.
