Mystery at San Luis
AZ. Residence. &

Mrs. Ignacio Guajardo, 20. 2202
San Luis street. Prospect Hill. and
her 16-months' old baby were found
unconscious, apparently under influ-
ence Of some drug, when Justo Qua
jardo, husband, reached home at II 20
Saturday morning.
Detectives Phil Fox and Ad Kohr,
first 10 reach the residence after an
alarm had been sent to central head
quarters, found the house had been
robbed. A window had been Jim
miedr and several bundles of silk gar
ments and silverware, valued at 5000
had been piled in the rear yard.
Detectives are mystified over the
discovery OF n strange powder which
they found sprinkled over the bed
in which Mrs. Guajardo lay in o
heavy stupor. The powder. too. had
been sprinkled over the bedding of the
cradle in which the infant had been
put to sleep. The powder resembles
sugar or salt. Detectives will have 1t
analysed.
Mrs. Guapardo was revived after
artificial respiratory methods. The
child. seemingly, was in an extraor..
dinarily deep sleep. Both mother and
child were pronounced out OF danger
several hours later.
While robbery evidently was the mo-
tive, officers admit the presence of
what appeared sugar or salt, or, per-
haps of both, was battling feature.
Tests made at detective headquarters
of samples failed to produce the slight
est evidence the powder is dope.
1T is one of the strangest cases
we have been confronted with in some
time" said Detective Fox. Until the
nature of the powder is determined
a solution of its bearing on the case
is impossible"
Justo Guarjardo, according to his
report TO police got response wien he
knocked on the door. He went to the
rear of the house. III the darkness
he stumbled over q heap Of bundles.
These proved to be clothing and silver
ware, taken from the house and
wrapped in bedding and sacks. The
back door was open.
Unable to Give Details.
Entering the house he turned on
the ligl is and tried to arouse his
wife and baby. A glance showed
the drawers OF bureaus, dressers,
etc, had been searched and portion
of the contents scattered about the
floor. He communicated with police
headquarters and called neighbors.
Mrs. Guarjardo was just regainiug
consciousness when officers reached
the LONE. Treatment administered by
her husband and neighbors restored
her senses and the baby. too, respond
ed to the efforts. Both, apparently.
seemed drowsy from the effects of
some drug.
The wife was unable to account
for her predicament, saying she had
retired early with her baby and had
slept soundly. Guarjardo told Of
icers he saw no one as he approached
the house. Detectives believe. his re.
turn home frustrated the intruder or
intruders from hauling away the
bundles. of valuables.

ESPRIT WAR DEAD"
PICTURES SHOWN TO
NEW YORK AUDIENCE
Audience Clasps as Arthur
Conan Doyle Exhibits
Weird Photographs.

New York, April "A weird pho
tograph, described by Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle as that Of spirit war
dead, myriads OF grim faces lowering
above the cenotaph of the Unknown
So'dier in London during the tw,
minutes of silence for prayer, drew
gasps Of establishment from a large
audience in Carnegie Hall last night
when he gave lecture on spirit
ism.
Some women sobbed and even SCOT
fers were thrilled.
"Do you see the dead creeping
through" Sir Arthur asked, point
ing to the spectral faces on the
screen.
You can see them everywhere.
There were two photographs, de-
scribed as taken by Mrs. Dean, an
English medium.
The first. a snapshot, showed the
great crowd standing bareheaded be-
fore the cenotaph. A faint luminous
patch appeared over the throng.
The second picture showed count
less heads of sad-visaged soldiers
floating above the memorial. The
spectators were blotted out. Some
faces were blurred. but others were
distinct. The general impression of
the audience was that the faces were
those Of men who had been killed in
battle.
Il don't wonder that you are
moved" Sir Arthur said. when the
sobbing and buzz of hysterical whis-
pered comment interrupted his re-
marks.
Il consider II the greatest spirit
picture in the world.-
He declared the plates he'd been de-
veIoped Immediately and that there
was no chance for fraud.

NO BREACH EXPECTED
Holy See Treasured as to Spanish
Changes in LAWS.
BY EDGAR ANsELL MowRER
Special Cable to the San Antonio Light
and the Chicago Daily News.
ConyriRht 1879.

and the Chicago Daily News
Copyright. 1898.
Rome, April 1.-THE latest news
from Spain has somewhat treasured
the Holy See concerning the need for
breach in diplomatic relations be-
tween the Vatican and Madrid. The
Spanish constitution gives certain
privileges TO the state church which
is Catholic. The threatened changes
in the constitution would destroy these
privileges.
The Vatican's justification for
threatening to break off diplomatic
relations is connected with the con-
cordat between Spain and the Holy
See based on the Spanish constitu-
ton. The Spanish radicals by modify
ing the constitution would automatic
ally end the concordat and thus, ac-
eording TO the Vatican authorities, jus
tify the cessation OF diplomatic rela-
tons. The latest news received at the
Vatican is that the proposed changes
in the Spanish constitution will prob
ably not be made.

Would Evacuate Northern Sashalien

Special Cable to the San Antonio Lighl
and the Chicago Daily News.
C'opyright 1879

Toxic, April 6.-Opinion favoring
the evacuation Of northern Saghalien
is growing among japanese military
authorities who point out that the
continued occupation of part of the
island tends to create misunderstood
ing among foreign countries regarding
japanese policy. Official quarters,
however, are opposed to evacuation
proposals on the ground that it is
inadvisable to change the government
policy which already has been an
nounced to the world. The question
is soon to be taken up for formal
discussion by the cabinet council.

But, really, we can get tonics free on the corner vegetable stand if We but ask for them. For Nature, wise old lady knows how we feel in this betwixt and between weather and freely offers a store of genuine ton ics in all of her spring vegetables and fruits.
 These are nippy greens in one basket; coquettish radishes in gay bunches; lettuce, marcelled and crisply pert; chaste white onions; tender young carrots; the first ber- rles, and, hurraht asparagus and dandelionsl The whole host of sue culent green spring foods are packed full of tonic and every vitamine in tho alphabet.
 Have you not noticed how acrid and bitter are many of the spring vegetables? It Is that sharp tang in dandelons. the nip" of radishes and cress, that furnish tonic quail ties at their best Have you ever : cooked spinach in very little water and observed how it's juices puck cred ones mouth?
