SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
SAN JOSE. Oct. 1S.-The police of
this city are tonight investigating the
latest of long series of incendiary
fires which have destroyed property
in the vicinity of San Jose.
This morning about 2 o'clock Mr..
and Mrs. j. H. Slater We're aroused
by a sound of hapmering in their
woodshed and arose to discover that
their home was burning fiercely. They
barely had time to escape in their
night clothes and saved nothing.
East San Jose, which is a separate
municipality, has no fire protection, and
as the flames threatened to wipe out
a whole block OF. residences, an appeal
for aid was sent to Fire Chief Brown
of San Jose. The engines arrived on
the scene after an adjoining house.
owned by George Freeman, was burn
ing. but could render no aid, as there
were no hy6rants to connect to. A
bucket brigade saved the situation
The loss will total $4,000, with almost
no insurance.
Neighbors are caring for the two
families tonight.
Just a week ago some miscreant
burned the Slater familys barn.

CARNEGIE BUREAU
Wonderful Garden to Be Planted
to Aid in Study of
ClimatoIogy

Plans have been perfected by the Car
negie institute for the establishment
of a great scientific bureau at Carmel
by the Sea for the study of climatology.
large appropriation is TO be made to
carry on the work, a corps of scientists
is to be placed in charge and large
acreage at the picturesque spot near
Monterey is to be set apart for the un-
dertaking. Special study will be made
Of the effects of climate on plants and
plant life and specimens of vegetation
from all parts of the world will be
raised in order to give the. work the
widest possible scope.
Professor Cannon. who has been in
charge of similar work in the desert in
Arizona, has been at Carmel for some
time making the preliminary investi-
cations and his observations have sat
isfled him that Carmel offers ideal con-
ditions for the scientific researches con-
templated. The land company at Car
mel has promised to erect a building
Tor the institute and has donated a
parcel of land. A vast tract of 1000
acres will be held in reserve and it is
understood that the bureau will ulti-
mately acquire it by purchase.
After 1t has come into possession of
the large acreage it will transform it
into the most wonderful garden in the
world. In the tract will be found everv
conceivable variety of plant, from those
that grow in the tropics to those that
flourish in the far north A study of
conditions at Carmel has convinced the
scientists that almost every variety of
vegetation can be made to grow there.
This will be the third extensive grant
made by the Carnegie institute to Cali
fornia. liberal appropriation has been
made for an observatory on Mount Will
son, in the southern part of the state.
and grant has been made to Luther
Burbank to carry forward his expert
4nents with plant life
Although no formal announcement
has been made by the Carnegie insti-
tute, Frank Fl. Powers. who controls the
real estate at Carmel. admitted last
night that arrangements had been made
with him for the land needed by the
bureau.

TRIED TO SELL HOTEL
TO THE GOVERNMENT
Owner of Del Monte Urged II
for Use as Hospital for Sol
dierS and Sailors

Following the report of the neeoti-
ations for the sale of Del Monte hota,
and surroundings to an English syndi-
cate it became known yesterday that
for some time past the Pacific Imnrova-
ment company, the owner of the pIace
has been endeavoring to dispose ~
the property to the United States
government for use as "a hospital for
soldiers and sailors. Although the deal
had been almost concluded with tha
English syndicate, the offer TO sell tS
the government has not been with
drawn.
Ever since the Southern pac;f.
passed into the hands of Hartman the
Pacific Improvement company, it is said
has endeavored to find a buyer for The
property 1t is rumored that the hotel
was offered to Hartman, but that he
refused to go into that line Thourb
Hartman refused to purchase il him
self. there is not the slightest do,,ht
hut that he would like to see II mass
into the hands of the federal govern.
ment for the purpose of being con-
verted into hospital. This won1d
be to the benefit of the Southern Pacific
in the way of transportation.
When here last, Hartman and W
n. Croker, the largest stockholder in
the Pacific Improvement company. were
much together and. in the recent de-
velopments it is generally Understood
that the two were planning the sale
of the hotel to the government.

CHICAGO, Oct. 18.-An attempt to
assassinate Rev. ]. K. Fielding, pastor
of the Corpus Christi Roman Catholic
church, was made this afternoon.
After twice shooting at the priest in
the Sunday school hallway of the
church, the would be assassin, knock

IN his way, ran into the street and
escaped. The shooting and the
screams of the children created wild
excitement in one of Chicago's fash

1t was in the middle of the after
noon that the culprit had been seen
lettering around the church and writ
ing upon a sheet of paper. He placed
the paper in his pocket. The police be-
lieve that the writing was an explana-
tion of his intended act and his iden-
tity, which was to be found upon his
body in the event of his committing
suicide after killing the priest. A let
ter of similar purport was found in the
possession of Giuseppe ALA, who killed
Father Leo Heinrichs in Denver during
the church service short time ago.
Aroused by the mans actions, Father
Fielding approached him, saying:
What are you doing here?"

AS the priest turned his back the
stranger stepped into the hallway and
drew a revolver and pressed it against
his intended victim. Father Fielding
knocked the weapon up just in time
to escape a bullet. which grazed his
head and clipped lock of hair from
his temple.
At the same time the priest knocked
the man down by a blow in the face.
Hurriedly scrambling to his feet, the
man continued down the hallway.

he turned and fired another Intellectual
shot at the priest and then, still bran
dishing the revolver, ran into the
street. A dozen children accompanied
by Father Fielding ran in pursuit and
