CARPENTER ROBBED
BY HIS COMPANIONS
Redwood Cityite Is Beaten
and Relieved of Coin After
Spending Night in Saloon

Four unknown men robbed David
Parsons a carpenter. living in Red
wood City. yesterday morning after
spending Saturday night drinking with
him in a saloon at 1901 Valencia street.
Parsons. in his complaint to the police,
says that SO was taken from him, but
the police think that il was much
smaller sum, because Parsons had
only sI2 when he finished work Sat
urday afternoon.
The fact that Parsons was beaten,
however. is established by the injuries
he sustained. His right shoulder blade
was fractured and his head and face
laceFated.
1t was , o'clock yesterday morn
ing when Policeman Gallagher found
him on Mission street, near the
corner of Twenty-seeond. He was
under the influence of liquor at
count of his experience. The patrol
man sent him 10 the City and County
Hospital. where he is still held. and
then went out to verify his statements.
He learned that at O'Clock Saturday V
afternoon Parsons was paid $40 by a
Mrs Dunning, living on Post STREET, for
carpenter work. After leaving there
he visited several saloons, and finally
reached the Valencia street resort
about O'Clock. While in the saloon
he met the men who afterward beat
him. Under the preteNt OF finding him
a hotel they induced him 10 accompany
them to Bartlett street, where, at a
point nearly opposite the Emanuel Bap-
tist Church. they knocked him down.

Word was received at police head
quarters from MADEIRA last night that
William Vice. arrested on Saturday
after evading capture for nearly three
years. would be keEr in jail there un-
til officers from San Francisco would
be sent after him. The police said
there was evidently some misunder-
standing at MADEIRA. They We're ex-
pecting Vice to be brought here by the
deputy sheriff who arrested him, and
Detective Ed Gibson stood for several
hours at the ferry depot yesterday
afternoon and last night looking over
the passengers from the MADEIRA trains.
When Vice and his eaptor did not put
in an appearance Gibson gave up his
vigil at 10 o'clck
The arrest of Vice promises TO lead
to contest over the reward of $1,000

MARGERY RYAN IS
IN JAIL AGAIN.
Duke Rearrests Scanlan s
Companion, Believing She
Withheld information
SMITH IN BAD ODOR

Believing that Margery Ryan is with
holding information regarding the
movements of Ralph Scanlan, her COM
panion suspected of the Pftzner muir
der, Captain of Detectives Duke had
the young woman placed behind the
bars again yesterday afternoon. This
time Margery will undergo severe
questioning, and Duke is of the opin-
ion that she Will throw more light on
the shocking murder and robbery of
the McAllisterstreet merchant.
Duke has struck a new lead on the
mysterious case that has so far de-
feated the efforts of the shrewdest
sleuths in the city.
He received information yesterday
that Margery Ryan told a friend of
hers that Scanlan remarked to her that
he was going down to Phtzners store
to buy a pair of shoes on the day the
merchant was found dying in his store.
Duke at once hurried to the Park sta
ton, where the woman is imprisoned.
and had a long talk with her.
Margery stubbornly refused TO tell
the captain any more. She stated that
she would stay In jail year before
she would tell another word about
Scanlan. Duke, however, is of the
opinion that the woman will yield,
from her today.
Duke is also keeping a close watch
on Alma Fisher. the candy girl, and
other young women who are known TO
have been on friendly terms with the
Suspect 1t is quite likely that some or
these will be taken to police head
quarters this afternoon TO submit 10
another cross examination.
More evidence that Arthur Smith,
sScanIan's companion, also held In con-
nection with the murder of Pfitzner, is
a criminal was furnished yesterday
afternoon. by ]. ]. Goggins, cigar deal
er at 1887 Sacramento street. The
cigar man positively identified Smith
as the man who stole s. piece from
a customer some weeks ago
According TO Goggins' story. Smith
entered his place of business one after
noon and attempted to sell gold
watch Goggins says he refused TO BUY
il. but that Smith kept pleading for
several minutes. telling hard luck
story and resorting to every means In
order to make the sale
Goggins adds that a customer en-
tered while Smith was talking. The
customer did not like Smiths looks
and, taking Goggins to one side,
warned him to keep close watch on
the stranger.
Goggins says the customer laid a so
gold piece on the counter, and when he
l1OS iliSJ ltdNhNN ACA - -
Smith grabbed the money and ran.
Goggins says Smith disappeared around
the corner and managed TO outtoot
both him and the customer, who gave
chase.
This strengthens the belief of Duke
that Smith has been an all-round
petty thief and CRATER for several
months. 1t is likely that many crimes
of this sort will be traced to the sus-

he who arrested Vice and is entitled
to the reward under the terms specified
by the company when it was promul-
gated.
Attorney Rose of Santa Rosa had an
Interview with Vice last night at the
MADEIRA Jail Vice will set up the de-
fense it is declared, that the warrant
against him has been outlawed by fall
ure of the authorities to serve it with
in the statutory time. In pursuance of
this contention he Will set up the claim
that he has never left the State, and
that the reports about him having gone
TO Honduras after escaping from Cali
fornia over he Nevada line are untrue
The authorities, however, believe they
can prove that he did leave the State
and that the warrant against him still
stands.
The original warrant. it was learned
yesterday, cannot be found by the po-
lice, who claim that the validity of his
arrest is not affected by this fact. They
take the stand that he is a sought-for
felon, and that the swearing out of a
new warrant is mere formality
An effort is being made by friends of
Vice TO effect compromise with the
Union Pacific in the event of his fail
ure TO establish the legality of his
other line of defense.

GUATEMALA SEEKS
ANNEXATION.

The latest advices by steamer from
Guatemala state that in the event of
war between Guatemala and Mexico, or
between Guatemala and any other Cen
trail American State. Guatemala will ask
annexation to the United States. This
will be done in accordance with an un-
derstanding between the United States
and Guatemala, entered into early in
Mr.. Rooseyelts first Presidential term.
Soon after President Roosevelt took
Office the discovery was made that Sal
vador had made an arrangement with
Mexico by which, in the event of Saliva
doris becoming involved in war with
any of her neighbors, Mexico was to
annex Salvador. Mexico has been for
years, it is said, trying to disrupt Qua
temala. even going so far as to attempt
to involve Guatemala and Salvador in
war, to the end that Guatemala might
be partitioned between Mexico and Sal
svador.
The understanding between Mexico
and Salvador having been discovered by
the Guatemalan Government, President
Estreda Cabrera of Guatemala entered
into negotiations with the United States
Government through Minister Coombs,
to secure from the United States protec-
tion similar to that which Salvador en-
joyed from Mexico. The purpose of Mr.
4Coombs' visit to the United States soon
after President Roosevelt took office
was to convey to the United States Gov
ernment Guatemala's wishes in the
matter. At that time a secret arrange
ment was made between the two coun-
tries, by which Guatemala will ask an
nexation to this country when pressed
by her Central American enemies. The
knowledge of this understanding in
Central America, it is said, had much to
do with Fastening the Termination of
the recent war.

The murder OF Robert T. Hurd.
bricklayer, at the corner of Pacific
and Kearny streets yesterdas morning
by Edward Mathews, negro. who has
been employed as a cook on the
steamer Aztec, has been taken from
the sordid catalogue of Barbary Coast
crimes by the valiant stand Hurd was
making for the Stars and Stripes. 1t
was on account of his patriotism that
he was shot down by the burly negro
before he had q chance TO defend him
self or to get away from the murderous
weapon of his assailant
Hurd with a NUMBER of others be-
came involved in an argument with a
half dozen negroes who were under the
influence Of liquor. The argument ran
from one subject to another until a
comparison of the American and Bit
ish nations led to forceful words.
America is good enough fer me,
shouted Hurd in defiance '1'll stand
by the Stars and Stripes"
The words had hardly been uttered
when Mathews reached for his re-
volyer The men who had been sup
porting Hurd scattered, giving the

but before he fell the negro had fired
two more shots.
Detective James MCGOWAN happened

a street car At the sound of the shots
he ran in the direction Of the crowd
in time to see Mathews running up
Montgomery avenue McGowan fol-
lowed. calling upon the fugitive TO halt
He failed to obey, and MCGOWAN fired
two shots This seemed to intimidate
the man, and he darted into the ruins.
BY this time McGowan was close upon
him. He followed over the brick piles
and twisted girders until he drove him
into the corner OF basement.
1t was not until then that the negro
showed fear He begged the detective
to spare his life and quietly surren-
dered the revolver which he stil held
IN his hand The fellow was hand
cuffed and taken back TO the body of

TO lynch him. MCGOWAN. fearing vio-
lence conveyed his prisoner away in
an automobile TO the Harbor station
and later to the Bush-street station,
where he was charged with murder.
