manager of the McNear brick company,
declared today that he saw a Japanese
on the Sausalito ferry boat en- route to
San Francisco on the morning of July
27 the exact counterpart of a news
paper picture of Yamaguchi. He says
he glanced at the fellow, who seemed
so anxious to avoid observation that he
became suspicious and continued to
look at him until he had fixed his fea-
lures perfectly in his memory. His de-
scription of the Japanese fts that of
Yamaguchi McNear is of the opinion
that the japanese went from Cazadero
to Santa Rosa and caught the 6:13
morning train from that place to Sau-
salito, where he escaped to San Fran
cisco. He will notify Sheriff Taylor

EXAMINATIONS DELAYED

The torso, which is believed to be a
portion of the remains of Mrs. Eura
Kendall and which was found in ra-
vine Thursday by Newt Grider, and the
other bones, which were brought to this
city by Coroner Frank L. Blackburn,
have not yet been passed on by experts
In anatomy. II was the intention to
have these bones submitted to a con-
ference of physicians here on Sunday,
but with the principal officials in the
investigation absent the examinations
were deferred. Microscopical examina-
tions also will be made of a number of
articles brought over from the Star
buck ranch TO ascertain If they have
been stained by human blood. On the
examinations hinges the determination
of whether Thomas A. Kendall was
murdered. II is absolutely certain now
that the parents were slain in the
house on the ranch.
REMEMBERED BY JAPANESE
The dog which Yamaguchi took with
him to Mrs. Starbucks home in Oak
land has played a prominent part In
the case. The animal contrived to es-
cape from an inclosure here during the
night and Yamaguchi was much per-
turbed at the loss of the dog. His ac-
tions directed the attention of all the
Japanese in the boarding house where
he stopped toward him, and for this
reason he is well remembered by a
number of his countrymen. When the
dog was returned to Yamaguchi by the
local poundmaster the Japanese seemed
greatly pleased. He intimated to some
of the Japanese at the boarding house
that he had been ordered by Mrs. Star
buck to return the dog to her.
When the investigations now being
prosecuted at the ranch have been
ended and other matters definitely
cleared up, Coroner Blackburn will set
the date for the resumption of the in
quest. This probaly will not be during
the coming week.

MADRID, Aug. Premier Canalejas
announces his intention to expose be-
the government in the north of Spain.
The general impression here is that the
government has won a signal victory
in preventing demonstration at San
Sebastian.
The liberal and republican newspa-
pers urge the premier to follow up his
advantage vigorously. The Universe,
clerical organ, declares that the
course of the government betrays fear
According to the Liberal. the govern
ment has learned that the Vatican is
awaiting the result at San Sebastian
before deciding upon the recall of Mon
signor Vico. the papal nuncio at
Madrid.
Vatican Hopeful
ROME. Aug. THE feeling at the
Vatican today Is optimistic. Hope is
entertained that an understanding with
the Spanish government soon will be
reached. 1t is pointed out by the Vati-
can that Premier Canalejas must be
grateful to the papacy for restraining
its followers from disorders which
might have led to civil war.
The Vatican and Cardinal Merry del
Val, the papal secretary. personally in
structed the bishops throughout Spain
to prevent demonstrations and disor-
ders.
Another reason for the conciliatory
attitude of the Vatican is found in the
fact that organizers of the proposed
demon stration are for the most part
carlsts, and any movement might even
tualIy take on revolutionary and
anti -dynastic character, which the
Vatican is determined shall be abso-
Iutely excluded from the present situa-
ton.
