of the deputy sheriffs. Charges from
both the prosecution and the defense
were read by Judge Conley with the
usual instructions.
From the time they were ordered

quittal The three men who held their
ground were Ed Schultz. 713 Mission
street; s. w. Robinson, 2109 Bush

agreement the jury appeared before
the court and requested that the orig

Treadwell be given to them. At the
courts order the document was placed
in the hands of the foreman
A minute examination of the indict-

until $3.50 o'clock in the afternoon,
when the session was interrupted by

MORGAN'S CASH TO
REBUILD CHURCHES
Financier Gives Bishop Nichols
100000 for Episcopal Struc-
lures in San Francisco

NEW YORK, Dec 12.-Bishop Will
liam Ford Nichols of the Protestant
Episcopal diocese of California before
leaving this city for the Pacific coast
today announced that J. Pierpont Nor
gan had contributed 100000 for the
rebuilding of the Episcopal churches of
San Francisco destroyed by earthquake
and fire.
Bishop Nichols who has been in New
York, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Boston
and other cities appealing for funds
with which to rebuild the ruined
churches, has met with generous re-
sponses.
Bishop Nichols came to this city two
years ago and soon after his arrival
met Morgan and explained the needs
of the Episcopal church in San Fran
cisco. Morgan agreed then to con-
tribute 100000 on condition that the
church would raise an equal amount
from other sources.
THE financial panic and the conse-
quent hard times made this task i'm
possible, said Bishop Nichols today
I recently had a conference with Mr.
Morgan on this subject and at once he
removed the restriction he had made
and gave outright the amount he had
originally promised"

cout the Foe of Consumption.

Sir Dyce Duckworth in his address
to the British Faculty of Medicine
said that many persons were consti-
tutionally predisposed to rheumatism
and gout but an important charac-
teristic in such cases was the antag-
onism of the tissues to the bacilli OF
tuberculosis The more rheumatic or
gouty a person was the less pro-
nounced was his tendency to con-
sumption.

The question is being mooted as to

used for the execution of Marie An
