Gaspipe Murderer and Robber
of Frisco Jap Bank,
Pleads Guilty.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
San Francisco, Dec. 19.-Louis Dab
ner, the self-confessed gas pipe mur-
derer, today pleaded guilty before Su-
perior Judge Carroll Cook to the murd-
der of M. Unukata, manager of the ap--
anese bank. His plea was made not
only against the advice Of his attorn-
eys whose services he coldly dispensed
with, but against the offer of Judge
Cook, to procure him other counsel
or to protect his rights in case of ap-
peal. The motive assigned for Dab
ner's action by James L. Taafe, by
whom he was represented today was
that he is possessed Of again hope of
turning states evidence against his
partner in crime, John Siensen, and
thus receive penalty less severe than
hanging. However, the prisoner made
his plea with the full knowledge of
the meaning of his step. Even Dab

AFTER THE HOLIDAYS
President Expected to Present
Message to Congress on Ship
Subsidy Bill.
Associated Press to The Evening Times.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Washington, Dec. 19.-President
Roosevelt's message on ship subsidy,
which will be presented to congress
shortly after the Christmas holidays,
it is believed, will support the CALM
ger subsidy bill as passed by the SEN
ate, but the house committee on mer-
chant marine and fisheries probably
will report the bill so amended that it
will merely offer subvention to mail
steamers sailing between this country
and South American and Oriental
points.
Representatives Littlefield of Maine,
Humphrey of Washington, and other
congressman who are supporting ship
subsidy, called upon the president
yesterday and furnished him with in
formation concerning American ship
ping for use in his message.
Mr.. Humphrey told the president
that Japan has been negotiating for
the purchase of all first class Ameri-
can ships on the Pacific and expressed
the opinion that the purchase of the
Pacific Mail or Hill line by Japan
would almost certainly result in a
freight agreement with Japan extend
ing over an American railway. He
also assured the president that the
Japanese lines running to this coun-
try give rebates and other advantages
to japanese merchants in the United
States, with the result that many
American merchants have been driven
to tie wall.
The Sail Ship Owners International
Union also was discussed with the
president by Mr.. Humphrey, who
showed that it includes English,
French and German sailing ships ana
represents more than 1,336,OO0 tons.
Its printed agreement shows that its
purpose is to raise rates on American
freight and already, Mr.. Humphrey
said, 1t has increased rates on wheat
from Pacific coast point to Europe
from $1.25 to $3.50 a ton.

New York, Dec. ia religious
drama "The Light Eternal" was the
principal theatrical event of the week.
This play, written by Mrs. Martin
v. Merle, originally for presentation
by the students of religious college
in California, was given an unusually
elaborate production at the Majestic
theater. The scenery and costumes
were splendid, every art of the stage
manager was employed to make the
presentation worthy one and the
acting was both clever and earnest
but Notwithstanding it cannot be said
that a success was scored. In the
"Sign of the Cross" and "The Shepherd
King" both of which prospered, the
latter now playing New York en-
gagement, the theater-going public
found both dramatic action and spec
tacular splendor. In "The Light
Eternal" there is plenty of the spec
tacular, but the dramatic episodes are
not worked out skillfully and the dia-
logue is rather too lengthy. However
a large portion of the patronage OF
the theatre comes from persons relig-
iously inclined and 1t may be that the
play will have more or less extend
ed run.
The popularity of Bernard shaw's
"Man and Superman" continues. Rob-
ert Lorraine and Miss Drlna De Wolfe
appear in this play ac the Grand Opera
house this week and despite the prev
ious long runs at other houses were

years old, but there was no trace of
her beauty left. Henry G. Hilton, son
of Judge Hilton into whose hands had
gone the great A. T. Stewart fortune,
was the prince who sprinkled Sylvia's
path with gold. From the first time
he saw her in the "Brigands" at the
Casino-he forgot all-wife, family,
business and friends. So rapidly did
he run through money that it was
only a short time until there was a
mortgage for $1,250,000 on the Stew
art building and from that time he
flew along the path to ruin. His hm-
lily did all in their power to take him
away from the woman, his young wife
died of a broken heart, his fathers
health failed but he refused to give up
his infatuation. His fidelity to the
woman for whom he had given up the
world was in way remarkable. When
both had passed into middle age and
the woman had lost all Of the physical
loveliness that had made her a Broad
way favorite still Hilton was her de-
voted cavalier. and when his wife died
he and Sylvia Gerrish were married.

in the days Of prosperity, Of all who
had drunk Hilton's wine or basked in
Sylvia Gerrish's favor. none was with
her at the last. Only one carriage

she lived in Paris she would be i'm

there was all that goes to make q

st. Paul, Minn., Dec. 19-Placed in
a most painful position, the innocent
victim of his over-zealous friends,
Archbishop ireland has consistently
declined to be interviewed on the sub
ject Of the Roosevelt-Store controv-
ersy. Those closely acquainted with
the great prelate know how useless
1t would be to attempt to get an opin-
ion from him on such a subject. Or
dinarily he is exceptionally free. frank
and informal in his talks for publ!ca-
ton. But the controversy that has
been SO much discussed during the
last week touches upon a subject in
regard to which the Archbishop al
ways refuses to speak. In the past
dozen years or so reporters have gone
to him hundred times with a story
that he was about to be named a car
dinal. To all these inquiries he mere
ly said he had heard nothing from
the Vatican, but refused to discuss
probabilities or possibilities.
Archbishop Ireland is nearing his
SEVENTEEN birthday, but both mentally
and physically he appears to be in the
prime of life. His life at his home in
this city, is as simple and unostenta-
tious as 1t Is possible to make it. He
arises every morning at an early hour
and at half past seven he breakfasts
with the members of his household.
The breakfast hour over he retires to
his study, runs over the morning pa
pers, summons his secretary and be-
gins the labors of the day. Right here
becomes evident his startling grasp
Of every subject from church to chari-
ty, from parochial school to seminary.
His correspondence indicates that he

he writes or dictates a sermon or
