Young Is Exonerated.
OAKLAND. Nov. 16. Edna Clark, the
young Alameda art atudnt who has been
. missing from her home since October
17, is aafe and well In Chicago. The
pollr have ben searching for her
' locally, but the newa of her whereabout
. came In a letter from the girl heraelf
addressed to her mother, Mrs. Anita T.
Mack.
The presence of Edna Clark in Chicago
clear the Rev. Ramon Toung. who was
eu.ipeoted of having something; to do
with the girl's disappearance, from sus
picion of having spirited her away.
Takes Assumed Ximf.
The letter states that t:ie Clurk girl
is workirr In Chicago under the assumrd
name of Edivarri.t .haf. The news timt
Etina dark had been ftind alive and
weii prad quivkly through tlie city, and
created much xcltm nt. for It had been
feared that she a dead.
Shortly before o'rlix-fc tonight a mes
s&r?a was received from Chlcapo by Cap
tain Peterson contirming the fact that
the writer of the letter in the hands of
the police was Bdna Clark. She resides
at No. ".5 Eldride Court and is known
tnere as Fdwarda C.iase. wIih-Ii name she
iMumfd after arriving in Chicago. Feter
son. thereupon, handed the letter to the
Associated Press for publication. The
letter, which is self-explanatory, follows:
letter to Her Mtrther.

pis' -h-ttiut etret. Alameda Dear Mania:
Realising that you mu-t he worrvlng aa to
.at na become et m-. I jtit want to tell
v..tl tha' I air. uf, In addition to one or
tro otner linjr.. There at- two reasons
whv I lrt hone: Flrnt. b-aii I couidn t
eta'rd th. Idea -t having to account for
ever move I made. Not l.eeause I am
g. in- to lo anvtiuna wrong for 1 wasn't
l ut for a girl of men a nature as mine to
fee that rhe can't do a slnrle thing, or
mike the s.ighlaet move whatever without
tilling her Trv-'hr everything about It. 1
Mjnl to go against the grain. It la no new
thli.g for me to feel ihi way. since It has
been growing un me for the past four or Ave
i ears. .
Wants to Become Catholic.
The seconil reason vou may know or
sipe.: It la as strong, every bit. If not
stronger, than the flrt the church After
tn.it one time two years ago. I have been
d-iiiB my best to get the Hea of Catholic
hurch out of my head. But the seed w.ie
planted too deeply to ever forget It. As
I tnl-J you before. I believed in the Cathollo
"hurch before I became a mntb?r of my
fian It wea on account of you. and yuu
alone, thet I remained out and at times
1 made light of It. or declared such a
thing was absolutely out of the questl-m;
et I have been a firm Catholic at heart
and notning could aver shake my belief.
As far as tho convent la concerned, I would
not be s nun.
I have a jjoeilion and am with a Mis.

Chase. 1." Eldrldge Court, Chicago.
Rev. Young Absolved.
Peterson made the following comment
after reading the letter:
"We helicved all along that Rev. Pay
eon Young had nothing to do with the
girl's disappearance, and this letter, in
my opinion, completely absolves him. The
case is now a closed event, so far as wo
are concerned."
In response to a query. Rev. Young,
whose name has been mentioned in con
r.OLtion with the girl's disappearance,
tonight made the following brief state
ment :
"I'm glad that Miss Clark iias been
found. It will be very, very welcome
news to her mother, who will be much
relieved."
He declined further to discuss the case

ed Haas after his arrival at the county
liast'le.
The importance of the establishment
of this fnct is great- as it is declared
by those who hold that Haas fired at
Heney onlv after having been nasged
into it by the friends of the "grafters."
to be their belief that the gun was
passe,) to Haas after he was arrested
and showed a tendency to talk "too
much."
If it can be proven that the weapon
was concealed about his person, tliis
view win not be so generally taken, al
though. In tiie latter event, a shake-up
in the Police Hcpartment is to be ex
pected. The wife of tne suicide could throw
no llsht upon the matter when seen
today. Phe said that she' knew that
her husband had purchased a pistol
many months ago: but as to what sort
of a weapon it was or for what reason
he bought it she was ignorant.
F ATTI.K CHI RCII SYMPATHIZES
Poes ReMilutlon and Wlrrs Action
to Mr. Heney.
KJCATTLK. Wash.. Nov. 15. The con.
gregatlon of the First Cingregtional
Church, during the morning service to
day, by a rising vote, passed a resolu
tion of sympathy for Francis J. Heney.
w ho was shot in San Francisco during
the Kuef trial, and commending him for
his work In hahtlng graft and corrup
tion in civic life.
At the close of the service the pastor.
Kev. Ir. Sldnev Strong, wired news of
the action to Mr. Heney In Pan Fran
i Isco.
HINTS 1IWS WAS MIHHFHED
John Sweeney Itei-Inres Prisoner
Did Not Commit Suicide.
SAN" FRANCISCO. Nov. If. Two mass
routines assembled at the call of what
is known as the Clergy branch of the
lagu" of Justice, were held here today
to discuss the attack on Special Prosecu
tor F. J. Henry last Fridty.
The mffttnfc which gathered at Calvary
Church was at'ended by about 2fi"0 per
sons, the principal speaker being John
Sweeney, president of the Labor Council.
Mr. Sweeney harshly criticised the actions
of Police Commissioner Keil. declaring
that . the latter had acted in opposition
to Mayor Taylor and the graft prosecu
tion. S-veeney also intimated that Morris
iiaas. Heney's assailant, did not commit
suicide in the County Jail, but did not
:iy what he believed were the true
facts.
Following Mr. Sweeney, a number of
!. rg men spoke, among them Rev.
C'.'irpt:::. rector of Trinity Church, who
arouse considerable- opposition among
his hearers by declaring that it was an
easy matter to attack a man behind his
back, apparently referring to Sweeney's
charges concerning Keil. Numerous cries
interrupted the speaker, but he con
tinued and wound up his address with
an appeal to iiis hearers to "Put the
boodlers where they belong."
, Among others who addressed the meet
ing were Rev. Carl Werner. Rev. H. H.
Bell. Kev. C. X. Lethrop and Rolla V.
Watt. At the close of the session a reso
lution of similar wording to that adopted
by the Laa-ue of Justice last night was
carried with additional messages of sym
pathy for Mrs. Heney.
The other meeting, held at Grace Meth
odist Church in the Mission, was also
well attended and the speakers were sev
eral of the most prominent clergymen in
the city, among them Rev. David Evans,
Rev. B. R. Dille and Rev. B. P. Bennett.
The speakers all clung to tha same line,
ann-aline- to the DUbliC to See to It that
i the graft prosecution was carried out to
the end. and nearly an oi mem piu
their respects to Ruef"a counsel, whom
thev accused of wilfully delaying the fair
and impartial trial of their client by

IR. AND MBS. ARTHUR H. MJPIE.
RAINIER Or,-Nov. 14. (Special.) A pretty home wedding took
p'aee at" the home of Mr. and Mrs. Miles Sheelrn Sunday evening, when
their daughter. Miss Alice Dean Sheelrn was married to Arthur H.

minutes the pledges had been taken, the. Congregational marriage
ceremony being used. A tasty wedding breakfast was ewd after
congratulations and good wlshea had been given. Only Immediate
relatives and n few friends were present. Mr. and Mrs. Lupien took
their departure on the east-bound train for Newberg, Or where Uiey
will remain for a week or two.

mained a rod distant, as on account of
the sacred persona of their majesties
they could not be approached.
The Emperor died as he had lived,
without ministration of whatever kind
or scientific aid. For months he had
refused lo permit the services of for
eign physicians, and, although It was
suited that he had gone back to the
old form of medical treatment, it is
believed thit latterly he received no
treatment at all.
The government has gi-en out that the
dowager Empress, In a lucid Interval on
Friday last, received Prince Chlng. who
Is a Manchu. and a member of the royal
familv, and approved the edicts declar
ing Prince Pu Yi heir presumptive and
Prince Chun Regent of the empire.
Manchu Dynasty Continues.
Prince Chlng was, at the beginning of
the Boxer outbreak. Lord Chamberlain of
the Court and commander of the Pekin
field forces. It was on him that the for
eign officials hung hopes of the envoys.
He has held many positions and was high
in imperial favor.
That the dowager Bmprasa took this
step is discredited. Neverthcle.se she is
believed to have successfully established
the hun regime, which is the Manchu
regime, without obstacle, and the opin
ion is held here that this solution of the
difficulty which has confronted the gov
ernment le the beet possible.
Faith In Prince hCun.
Until word of the death is spread
broadcast no disorders are apprehended.
China is quieter now than at any time
since 19o0. Local disorders in the south
are possible on any pretext, but the north
is more inclined to peace. There are
few signs of antagonism to foreigners
and there Is no manner of doubt that
fPrince Chun will be able to meet the sit
uation. He is recognized as thoroughly
progressive and Is the most acceptable
man that could be chosen to those most
disposed to cai5e trouble, the reformers.
Antagonism on the part of the con
servatives and even an insurrectionary
movement is conceivable because the
death of the powerful woman who dom
inated all and the weakling Emperor
sweeps away the old palace corTuptlon

Portland Chinese Show No Emotion,
hut Trust Prince Chun.
Official confirmation of the death of
the Chinese Kmperor. Kwang Su. and
trie Empress Dowager. Tsi An. has been
received by the Portland Consul Moy
Back Htn. A message announcing the
death of the Emperor was received
from the Chinese Legation, at Washing
ton which had the news from the Pekin
Board of Foreign AfTalrs this morning
an dtonight word was received from
the same source announcing the death
of the Empress Dowager.
Moy Back Hin was requested to place
the Chinese flag at half mast as a mark
of respect to the memory of their Maj
esties. He also communicated the news
to the local Chinese Chamber of Com
nierce which lowered the flag on Its
headquarters.
The telegrams stated that the Em
peror died November 14 and the Em
press Dowager November 15.
The news of the death of their sov
ereigns was received with no show of
emotion by local Chinese. The impres
sion seemed to prevail that the Empire
would be better oft without the Dowa
ger Ebpress who was generally con
sidered tyrannical and an enemy of any
reform measures, while the Emperor,
on the other hand, was thought to be
progressive, insofar as he was able,
considering the control which the Em
press had over imperial affairs.
The selection of Prince Chun, or Shun
Tin Wong, as his title is rendered in
the Cantonese dialect, gives universal
satisfaction. He is a highly-educated
and widely-traveled man of great cul
ture, and is known to be liberal In his
views and a friend of reform.

Miss Mary Nichols Dies Three Honrs
After Accident Was on Her Way'
to Lead Singing at Epworth
League Meeting.
SPOKANE. Nov. 15. Carrying one of
its occupants to her death, an automo
bile, In whlh were aeven people.
MARRIED SUNDAY
plunged over a precipitous bluff over
looking the Spokane River, shortly
after 6 o clock tonight.
The party lit the machine was com
posed of William A. Nichols, president
of the Nichols Investment Company,
well known in Butte and New York, as
well as in Spokane; his three sisters.
Mrs. H. C. Bwann, Miss Mary Nichols
and Miss Mona Nichols: H. C. Swann,
of the Swann-McCain Electrical Com
pany: Chauffeur Charles Chambers and
William Faik. of the Dulmage-Rose
Automobile Company. Miss Mary
Nichols died three hours after the acci
dent. Mr. Nichols was taking his sisters and
brother-in-law for a ride, which it was
intended would end at the First Methodist
Episcopal' Church, where Miss Mary I
Nichols was to have led the singing of
the Epworth League.
They were running along the avenue.
It was quite dark, and the chauffeur,
who was evidently unfamiliar with the
road, did not take into account the fact
that adraw in the bluff cuts into the ave
nue. The front wheels of the machine
went into the end of the r avlne and the
machine began to slide down the steep
incline. When it had gone but a few
feet in its desoent, the automobile turned
over, and gathering momentum as it went,
it crashed down the almost perpendicular
Incline amid a shower of loose boulders
and small stones In which It landed,
partly buried. 350 feet below.
When the automobile first turned over,
all the occupants were spilled out, a fact
which doubtless accounts for the escape
of at least the majority of the party
from death.
SIX INJURED AT SAN JOBE
Machine Goes Over Eight-Foot
Embankment lo Avoid Train.
SAN JOSE. CaU Nov. 1G. Six persona
were injured, two of them dangerously,
thla afternoon, when A. A. Busey. a prom

The 14-months-old baby of Mr. and Mrs.
Busey and the 14-months-old baby of
Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Horton escaped In
Jury. Mr. Busey was at the wlieel at the
time, and was attempting to overtake and
pass another machine as they approached
the crossing. Their view of the train
was obstructed by a grove of trees. When
the automobile was within 40 feet of the
junction of the road and the track the
train shot from behind the trees. Busey's
quick action in ditching his automobile
averted a more terrible accident.
