MURDER SUSPECTS
HELD IN REDWOOD

SAN MATEO, May 13.-Suspected Of
being the murderers of the Italian
workingman whose body was found
hacked and mangled on the Perry Eyre
estate, near Fair Oaks, Tuesday MORN
ing, two men were taken into custody
this evening about o'clock when cross
ing from the train to the electric car
line at the San Mateo station, by Con-
stable Michael Sheehan. As the pair
were marked up and bruised as from
recent struggle, and as they told in
coherent stories explaining their move
ments, they were turned over to the
sheriff and put in Redwood Jail.
Knife wounds in the chest, abdomen
and across the neck of their supposed
victim attested to a severe struggle
before he succumbed. and the evidence
on the persons of the two men detained
of recent battle was thought sufficient
to warrant their detention. No motive
is known, unless it be robbery, the slain
man having apparently been a laborer
probably employed on the railway cut
off and presumably carrying his wages
in his pocket.
The two men when arrested told a
story of having been on their return
from Woodside to San Bruno, and hav-
ing made the reverse trip in a buggy
the day before.

DELEGATES TO SIT
UNDER BIG CANVAS
Circus Tent Raised in Audito-
rum for Republican
Convention
srEcIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

SACRAMENTO. May 13.-In the big
of the capitol grounds. but walled
within a circus tent erected indoors to
conf1ne the space in actual use. the
| republican state convention will be
called to order tomorrow afternoon.
The final work of preparing the great
hall for convention use was accom-
plished this afternoon and the unique
auditorium is ready for the seating of
delegates and spectators.
Large as the attendance is sure to
be at the convention the barnIike ex-
position structure was all too big for
the practical purposes OF convention
work, its immense size and lack OF
acoustic properties making 1t useless
for the work without extensive alter
ations. The erection of a large tent
within the building solved the problem.
No poles were raised, but the broad
canvas top was stretched on wires sus-
pended from the roof of the pavilion
and the sides of the tent raised in
places to allow Of extra seating capac-
ity. An so foot round top circus tent
was used with two 80 foot extensions.
giving a canvas auditorium within the
larger wooden structure 230 feet in
length.
CONVENIENCEs PROVIDED
The preparation Of the tent and seat
ing arrangements for handling dele
gates and spectators was carried out
principally by Sergeant at Arms Jack
STAFFORD and Charles Herndon, super
intendent of the pavilion. A large
semicircular stage has been erected at
one end of the tent and is provided
with desks for the various convention

The interior of the tent is profusely
decorated with the national colors,
while over the tiers of seats reserved
for the 629 delegates are suspended
the many colored signs showing the
location Of the different county delega-
tions. The desks on the green car
peted platform are draped in red
white and blue and large banners are
hung about the sides of the tent At
the rear of the speakers stand is a
large California shield and directly
over 1t a likeness of President Roose-
velt. Framed portraits of Presidents

Hayes and Harrison are grouped about

of the presiding officers desk is an
easel surmounted with a large framed
photograph of Governor Gillett.
TENT WELL LIGHTED
Arc lights have been strung through
out the tent for use in case of night
sessions, and at the rear of the plat
form is string of incandescent lights.
The seating reservations have already
been made, the space selected for the
San Francisco delegation being about
half way back from the stage front
and bordering on the center aisle. The

MUST BE WIPED OUT.
(By Associated Press.)

COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 15.-The
Prohibition National convention
which met today, worked under n
temporary organization throughout
two sessions and adjourned until to-
morrow morning without hearing the
report from committee appointed
to select permanent officers. Little
was accomplished beyond naming the
members of the various committees,
and receiving reports of the commit
tees on rules and credentials. The
committee on permanent organize
tion will report tomorrow. Professor
Charles Scanlon of Pittsburg, one OF
the numerous candidates for the
presidency, will be named permanent
chairman. nv
The presidential nomination is
still open. There has been no mark
ed concentration in favor of any can
didate. The committee on resolu-
tions met after the adjournment of
the morning session of the conven-
ton, and delegated the task of writ
ing the platform to subcommittee
of five. The document has not yet
been prepared, but the principal
planks are believed to be declara-
ton in favor of extending suffrage to
women, the election of senators by
direct vote of the people, against ex-
listing revenue laws, which permit of
the issuance of licenses to saloons,
favoring the enactment of.a sradu-
ated income inheritance tax. A de-
mand will be made that proposed
amendment to the constitution of the
United States prohibiting the liquor
traffic shall be submitted to the peo-
pie.
/ The sentiment of the party where.
ever heard expressed is opposed tc
