FLEET TO END IT'S GLOW
Warships Will Be Illuminated
for Last Time Tonight

For the last time during its stay In San
Francisco the feet will be Illuminated in full
brlliancy tonight. From O'clock until 10 the
ships will be outlined in glowing light, showing
beautiful upon the water, and then, in prepara-
tion for the trip to Puget sound, the thousands
of incandescents will be diSinantled and slowed
away. Tomorrow evening only the red and green
port and starboard. lights and the occasional
cleaning of lantern aloft will designate the
place where the battleships lying at anchor.
The fleet never shone more brilliantly than 1t
did last night, and in San Francisco the fllu-
mination was never perfect. From the
ferry building Market street TO Van Ness ave-
nue. was avenue of shining light. Up tom
the dome of the old city hall glittered in derry
lines Of incandescents, and score of big build
ngs in the downtown section stood radiant in
evening dress. THOUSANDS of people gathered on
the hills and other places of vantage for a
final view of the Illuminated feet and city. The
throngs did not diminish until. one by one the
warships hickered and went out.
Obscured occasionally by floating cloud even
the moon seemed to beam as 1t never beamed
before. Its softer. rays nlingling with those of
the city's illumination made picture for an
artist to depict.
On the ferry tower and along Market street
the illuminations will continue until the night of
May 20. Then they will be extinguished for the
last time and the work Of destruction will begin

TWO MEN BADLY
BEAT A FOREMAN

SANTA CRUZ. May 15.-one of the
most atrocious assaults ever made in
Santa Cruz occurred last night about
midnight when F. L. Devlin foreman
in the employ of the Humboldt con-
struction company, was approached
from behind by two men and hit upon
the head with round boulder, then
with a bottle, and stabbed twice in the
neck. His arms and hands were also
a mass of wounds and cuts.
Policemen Hi Place and Frank Ham
took the wounded man to a drug store
and. summoning a physician, they
started in search of the assailants. Joe
Bello, an erratic character known to
the police and found in the Passarino
hotel, was arrested and taken before
Devlin while his wounds were being
dressed and identified as a man with
Davenport cement plant last winter.
whom Bello was in love. who trans
believed that Bello was one of his as
sailants, and was convinced of the fact
when he said, IF the man has cordu-
roy pants on he is the man." Bello
being brought into the light was found
to have on corduroys.
The other assailant has not been To-
Gated. Bello was held in the sum of
$1,000 to answer charge of assault to
commit murder.
Devlin says at the time he had the
fight with Bello the latter said he
would kill him.

.SUSTA|NS RIGHT TO
DISMISS SOLDIERS

NEW YORK, May 15.-The right of
President Roosevelt summarily to dis
miss a negro soldier of the Twenty
fifth infantry for alleged participation
in the riot at Brownsville, Tex, was
sustained today by Judge Hough in the
United States district court. Oscar w.
Reid, the soldier, sued the government
to recover S122 as wages from the date
of his dismissal to the expiration of
his enlistment. District Attorney Slim
son contended that the president had
a right to dismiss the soldier. Judge
Hough sustained this contention, and
directed a judgment in favor of the
government.
Judge Hough in his decision held that
the president acted entirely within his
rights in dismissing the soldiers of the
Twenty fifth regiment. inasmuch as the
enlistment papers and oath provide that
a soldier shall serve for the period of
three years unless sooner discharged by
proper authority
The president is proper authority,
the decision declares. and continues:
Whether Reid or his comrades or any of them
was guilty Of the riotous disturbances wheth-
er Reid personally committed any fnfraction of
good order or military discipline, or whether he
is, in fact desirable soldier, knew or with
held anything tending toward the discovery of
the perpetrators of the Brownsville riot,
whether far as Reid or others were concerned
the presidents action was unnecessarily severe,
cruel unjust questions beyond this judi
eial decision. By the soldiers contract the bur
den of military service is not for definite time
but Tor three years unless discharged by proper
authority. ] do not give assent to the assertion
that soldiers engagement is or bears much re-.
semblance to civil contract of hire, but on the
assumption that 1T is such a contract, terminabe
at will II that will be expressed through
proper officer.

SHERIFF ATTACHES
COPPER KINGS CAR
Claim OF DR.. E. B. Perrin
Against w. E. Greene Upsets
MiIlionaire's Serenity
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL


PAso RoBLES, May 15.-While seat
ed in his private palace car, surround
ed by all the luxuries becoming his
station and wealth, w. e. Greene, the
copper king, was startled out of his
d1gnlfied serenity today by the intru-
sion of Sheriff Yancy McFadden, armed
with an attachment against the car.
What do you mean, sir2" thundered
the magnate.
casting a look of approval at the fur
nishings.
What do you want?" thundered the
copper king
Il want your car-the one we are in
now"
Greene demanded an instantaneous
explanation and got 1t. The sheriff ex-
plalned that a writ of attachment for
$4,000 had been issued against the car
by superior court in San Francisco
at the instigation of DR.. E. B. Perrin.
SHERIFF sLIGHTs GREENE
Il am too busy to attend to you
now added the sheriff, and he depu-
tized Constable R. w Gano to enter
tain the millionaire pending develop
ments.
DR.. Perrin, the one who was found
guilty in the land fraud cases. claimed
that about four months ago the copper
king touched" him for the beggarly
trifie of $4,000. giving a promissory
note for the amount. The note, he said,
was long due. but that all his efforts
to collect 1t had met with the chilliest
of receptions Learning that Greene
had left Redlands for Paso RobleS,
where he intended to partake of the
waters, Perrin, on the advice of his
attorney, Barclay Henley, took drastic
measures and had the magnate's car
attached.
Following the attachment the wires
from Paso Robles began to sizzle and
at 1880 o'clock tonight dispatch was
received from DR. Perrin, telling the
authorities to release the car, as the
matter had been settled.
ANTIPATHY TO TROUBLE
Greene showed his relief as the con-
stable arose from a cushioned seat to
depart. but his dignity had been ruff
fed by the incident and he made ar
rangements to leave as soon as possi-
BILE
There was some surprise at the fact
of a man of Greene's wealth having to
borrow $4,000 and greater surprise
that he refused to pay back. Those
who are acquainted with the case do
not consider the incident due to any
financial depression in the Greene cof-
.fers, but put it down to general an
tipathy on his part to be bothered with
troublesome little details.

WREST JFWE[RY
FROM DEAD WOMAN
Charles N. Dodge Secures Gems
Stolen From Wife After
She Expired

A sordid sequel to year old story of
infidelity has developed through the is
suance on complaint of Charles H.
Dodge, a deputy in the registrars Of
fee, of a search warrant to recover the
jewelry of his dead wife, taken from
by r. B. Kennan, bar tender in a
Barbary coast dive
According to Dodge, Kennan and a
woman named May Clark, waitress
in the Bella Union dance hall in Pacific
street, were with Mrs. Dodge when she
died at Lane hospital April 25 and be-
fore the body was cold wrested the
rings from the deceased's fingers end
pried a diamond from bracelet which
they could not remove from the
woman's wrist But all the jewelry,
valued at 5000, has now been recovered
with the exception of a diamond ring
and pin.
Up to April of last year Dodge and
his wife lived together in apparent har-
mony Then the woman deserted her
husband for Kennan and took up a
residence at sol Vallejo street. Dodge
found the couple there April "a, 1907.
and had a pistol duel with Kennan at
but in the melee Mrs. Dodge was
struck on the head with the butt of a
revolver and was treated at the emer-
gency hospital for the wound. When
she left the hospital she returned to
Kennan, and since then had been living
on the coast, recently being employed
at the Bella Union and living with
Kennan in the Vendome hotel, PA
Montgomery avenue.
She was taken i'll in the latter part
of last April and was treated at Lane
hospital, where she died. Dodge found
her there and in memory of their early
happiness gave her a decent burial.
When he found that Kennan had
taken the jewelry he secured the war
rant to recover the property. Kennan
defended himself of the accusation Of
ghoulishness last evening by saying
that he was put to expense through the
woman's illness, and he added that as
soon as he learned that Dodge wanted
the property he relinquished 1t. May
Clark, the other dance hall girl mixed
up in the case, left town for Kansas
City as soon as the police began to
investigate.

BLACK SCORES
HAYES PERf|DY
State Senator Says League
! Gave Machine Hardest
Battle of Its History
srEcIAE p1spArcH 10 rHr cALn

PALO ALTO, May 15.-The infamous
tactics used by the Southern Pacific
politicians in the convention at Sacra-
mento to win delegates and forestall
the ultimate defeat of the Yassals of
Herrin have thoroughly Disguised the
delegates from this district, and a
/ breach has been caused which time and
diplomacy will never heal. Although
the county central committee had in
structed the delegates from Santa Clara
county to stand by the league till the
last gun, the vote Of the county delega-
tion was not as unanimous as expected,
due TO the perfldious efforts of j. o.
Hayes for the Herrinites.
The fifty-f1fth district gave its 10
votes to the league, the fifty-sixth de-
livered itself over to the Southern Pa
cific and the ffty-seventh stood for
| decent government until the last.
State Senator Black returned from
the Sacramento convention at noon to-
day, thoroughly disgusted with the
work Of the machine and the perfidy of
Hayes, with whom he had been hand in
glove for years past. Hayes, in fact,
was the man who made the election of
Black to the state senate possible, but
Notwithstanding that fact the state SEN
ator has placed himself on record re-
garding the efforts of the San Jose
! DOSS AOL anu Ills QOuDlG
Black gave out the following state
ment regarding the Sacramento con-
yention:
The Lincoln Roosevelt league gave
the Herrin machine the hardest battle
of its history. With 393 of the e29
delegates appointed by the county COM
mittees. the railroad was able to get
but 351 against the leagues 275. Santa
Clara's delegation voted as follows.
!
solid for the league all the way
through; the fifty-fifth assembly dis
trict, solid for the Roosevelt league, ex-
cept in one ballot; the ffty-sixth as
sembly district, solid for the railroad.
J. o. Hayes, after the county central
committee had adopted the league plat
form and had instructed the delegates
from this county to stand against the
railroad, went over to Herrin in the
| final showdown. carrying with him
such delegates as he could control The
action of Mr.. Hayes was a terrible dis
appointment to many who have fol-
lowed his leadership in the past. The
defeat of Harrison Gray Otis for dele
gate at large was a great triumph for
decent republicanism. The result. of
/ the convention shows that the Lincoln
Roosevelt league is a fighting body that
viii stay with it until corporate infiu-
ences cease to control the republican
party of California
To a man, the delegates of this dis
/ trict agree with Blacks sentiments and
have the full backing of the people in
/ this end of the county. Internecine
strife has started in Hayes pet politi-
/ cal machine, which threatens to have
! the greatest of weight IN the political
/ aspirations of that Herrinite in the
future.
