W tie friends and I started
for Minnehaha Falls intending
to have a fine time picnicking.
Our lunch baskets contained a
rather small supply of provisions,
at least so we thought. When
we reached the car we found
to our dismay that we would
have to stand up all the way.
We lived such a distance from
the falls that we grew tired and
hungry hanging to the straps.
Every once in awhile we would
take peep at our lunch and
anticipate the time when we
could partake of it's good con-

STAYS HIS FATHER
To SAVE MOTHER.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.


RED BLUFF, Sept. 16.-The first
murder committed In Tehama County
in several years took place today when
Trace Williams, the 16-year-old son of
Dave Williams. shot his father to pro-
tect his mother and other members of
the family from the fury of the en-
ragged and drink-crazed parent Details
of the tragedy are impossible to secure,
owing to the secluded part OF the coun-
crime occurred at the Osborn ranch,
five miles from Lowrey, and in the
hills about thirty miles west of Red
Bluff.
Williams had for years borne the
reputation of being bad man, and in
early days figured In many of the
shooting scrapes in the western part
of this county. He was extremely
quarrelsome when drunk, and had
often threatened to annihilate his fam
lily Today he left Paskenta in
drunken condition, and on going to
the Osborn place, where his family re-
sided, attempted to make good his
threats, but he was overpowered and
disarmed. This enraged Williams and
he left the place, but soon returned
with another gun
The meager details received show
that his 16-year-old son shot Williams
dead to save the women members of
the family from the insane wrath of
the drunkard. The Coroner and Dis
trict Attorney have gone to the scene
of the trouble to make an investiga-
tion.

LONDON, Sept. 16.-In the latest de-

of Providence. The spread of insurrec-
ton and disorder to him simply indi-
instead of later When material in
pared with the vague sentiment in ia
vor of giving the Cuban people an op-
portunity to play with independence,
it is scarcely surprising that utilitar-
ianism prevails. The English investor
is not an altogether whole hearted ad-
mirer of American methods, but he
would thousand times rather see the
safety of his investment guaranteed
by American control than left to the
tender mercies of the Cuban, whom
he despises.
So far as this class of Englishmen
is concerned, and, for the matter Of
that business men all over Europe,
American Intervention cannot come too
soon There. are others not affected
materially who look askance at Amer
ica's acquiring practically, if not tech
nically, more territory in West Indias
waters. Those who have such views
however, are not likely to carry much
weight when opposed to the almost
unanimous sentiment of European
business men, Every detail in connec-
tion with Cuba is closely watched here

The menu served in this beautiful
place will be modelled after that of
the celebrated Rey in Paris and will
consist of stewed oysters, salads, home
made pastry and the choicest tea,
coffee and chocolate. There will also
be served on the premises icecream

ical situation. Other members of the
party were Frank G. lockwood, stem

arrive at Port Tampa at 10 o'clock to-
morrow night.
Edwin V. Morgan, the American min
lister to Cuba, is also on the way to
his post at Havana Morgan unexpect-
edly joined Secretary Taft and Assist
ant Secretary of State Bacon in this
city just as the train left Washington
today. He has been in Europe since
the insurrection began, but will proceed
TO Cuba with the Taft-Bacon party to
resume his duties at once.
Before leaving for Cuba this after
noon Secretary Taft announced that
Judge Charles E. Magoon, Governor of
the Canal Zone. would return to this
country from Panama on September "a,
and after a short interval, proceed to
the Philippines, where he is to be Vice
Governor General. Taft said further
that Governor General Smith. who ar
rived at Manila about two weeks ago,
would retain his present post indef-
initely.
1t is believed here that Judge Magoon
will not be retained in a subordinate
position in the islands for any ex-
tended period. He is deemed an ex-
cellent man by the administration, and
If he is not promoted to be Governor
General, it is thought that he will re-
ceive promotion elsewhere

The erection OF this magnificent
