Dietz Dies From His Wound. Adolph Dletz. who shot and killed Rose Mitzel in her room at 106 Taylor street Friday night and fired a bullet into his own brain, died at the Receiving Hospital yesterday morning. The body was re- moved to the Morgue. Case Quickly Disposed Of. Sheriff George H. Crawford of Del Norte County arrived in this city last night with P. H. Gay, a gambler, who shot and killed M. J. McN'amard in Crescent City, and who has been sentenced to spend the remainder of his life in San Quentin. Gay committed the crime only four weeks ago. He pleaded guilty in court and was im- mediately sentenced. The prisoner was kept in the City Prison last night and this morning will be taken to his last home on earth. Expert Cracksmen Pry Open. Door of Small Safe and Secure rENXETT'S RESTAURANT ENTERED BY BURGLARS About $100. Pctw^n the hours of 1and I a. ra. yes- terday burg-la rs entered Dennett's res- taurant. 74? Market street, and pried open a small safe containing about $100, which money thpy secured. At midnight a pri- vate ¦watchmnn on the block tested the front door of the establishment and pcrutln'zed the interior, but found noth- ing wrong. The safe is a small one of inferior make and us»*d only for holdinpr small amounts of money over night. Entrance to the restaurant was gained by breaking a lock 0:1 the rear door, and while the transac- tion savors very much of the work of professionals, the cracksmen evidently found upon examining- the safe that it could be opened without the use of pow- der. A strong vise was applied to the ex- terior of # th* supposed strong box, which offered little resistance, and the hinges and locks speedily gave -way. The spoils represented only the after- noon receipts of the house, as all funds on hand were banked at noon Saturday. Millionaire "Bill". - Bradbury, who re- cently acquired fame as aji expectorator in street cars, narrowly escaped serious injury in the park yesterday. He was crivjr.g a spirited horse on the speed track, when the animal took fright, ran away and dumped the millionaire out of his road cart just at the gates at the cast entrance. Excitement followed the- report that Millionaire Bradbury had met wuh an accident, but after the wreckage 5ia<2 been cleared away and the vhiUm of the mishap had announced that he was going hom* for supper matters quieted oown. Bradbury left his home, JSOO Van Ness avenue, early in the afternoon to take a drive to the Cliff. He sinned on his way home about 4 o'clock, entered the speed track and "let hie horse out." The horse linaiiy "let a little further out." Bradbury lost control of tho beast and was finally dumped out. The- horse continued on its mad run down the main drive. Mounted Ofticer J. K. Kavanaugh and Policeman Dow saw th^ horse coming, hurried to the road and caught the runaway. The cart was badly w:ecite<J. but upon Investiga- tion It was found that neither Mr. Brad- bury nor the horse were injured. After viewing the wreck Bradbury said he would take a car home. Th* Bradbury accident' was the only one reported during the day. The crowds at the park and beach were unusually large, as they were at the Chutes and Sutro's Baths. At the Chutes the play cf the juveniles was the feature. Following are the results of the con- tests at Sutrc's Baths: Fifty-yard race— H. Freeman fir?t, R. Grundy second.

"BILL"BRADBURY HAS A RUNAWAY day It is certain that she must hav© struck on one of these rocks and not on Fort Point Rock, as claimed. If she struck on one of these rock3, then she must have backed Into deep wa- ter a few minutes and probably sank in thirty 'or more fathoms of water. The conflicting statements made by the sur- viving officers of the rfhlp ar.d the pil'jt furnish no proof that the vessel ever hung on the rock on which she struck. Important Experiment Tried. After the diver had made two more de- scents in the region where it was thought the Rio had foundered. Ifshe had struck on one of the submerged rocks in the six- fathom depth, an experiment was tried which resulted In an important discovery. Second Officer Coghlan stated emphati- cally when testifying before Inspectors Bolles and Bulger thit from the time the Rio left the nlnc-fathom buoy to come into port until the warning light of Fort Point flashed up. just before the ship struck, that. the direction of the course. was north- east and that It was never changed until 5:19 a. m., when a light flashed up one and a half points on the starboard bow and the vessel went on the rocks. 'Pilot Jordan testified that when he heft the anchorag-e he" set a course northeast from the lightship until he had the Point Bonita fog signal on his beam. Then he changed his course to nortoeast by north and maintained it for fifteen minutes, when he continued to naul north. - The tug was placed in the two positions indicated and showed that with the course described by Coghlan the Rio must have run ashore near Fort Point, while if sh-s kept the pilot's course she must hare cleared the red buoy and come safely in- side the bay. . * , - Unable to Reach Mils Rock. "Although the divers yesterday deslre.1 to meke descents in , the vicinity of Mile Rock, where they think the vessel struck, the captain of the. .tug'A.'ert stated .that the current was too strong for them. to go down there. If a descent is made at Mils Rock it must be done lit the early morning at slack tide. On the full ebb tide yesterday- the diver made a perilous trio. He went down fif- teen fathoms on the anchor of the flsh- lnp boat and the tMe was allowed to drift the boat with the diver toward Mi) a Rock. The diver remained down for fortv- five minutes and -finally, when the swirl of the tide was reached after almost a mile and a half had been traversed, Itwas thouKht to be absolutely dangerous for the diver to proceed further and he. was ordered to come up.. . ..¦ The full ebb tide, running at seven'mlle» an hour, made itimpossible to go further toward Mile Rock and the divers were brought back to the city.

Bogan and Louis Levy carried off the hojpors of the tournament and each will receive a gold medal for his skill at the game. The contests yesterday were the best played during the tournament. The players had battled their way through the matches and the best men were pitted against each other. H. W. Bogan and T. J. Powers, both handicap men, were too much for the scratch men in the first class- and- won first and second prizes, jBogan defeated Powers a few nights ago and it was agreed that the first named would repeat his victory to-day. The prophets were not .wrong, .but were surprised at the splendid showing Powers made . against his cleverer opponent. Both men played a stronc game and the spectators wera kept in suspense. • Bogan assumed a lead near the latter part of the contest and by ¦ a terrific toss won out. Score 51-34. Bogan will be awarded a gold medal and Powers a silver medal. * < •In the second class Johnson and Levv were the contestants. On J Friday night last Johnson put McLeod out of the run- ning in a - -, well-contested game. Yester- day afternoon Levy turned the tables on Johnson and will be awarded first prize. The game was even more exciting than that of Bogan and Powers. Johnson took the lead. Before half the game was over he had 35 to Levy's 18. The latter pulled himself together and managed to overhaul his opponent. Levy then settled down to work and mrfha£red to win the game. Score 51-37. The victor will bo given first prize and Johnson second. William Cartwright and "Jack" Gleason acted as referee and scorer respectively. . At the San .

Hbrlow 16.18 21 12 IMPRESSED by the work of the Jap- anese divers, who on Saturday tried for many hours to locate the wreck" of the Rio de Janeiro, The Call yes- terday placed every facility at the disposal of the divers in the hope of their being able to find the spot where the hull of the ill-fated steamship is resting. The powerful tug Alert and a large fish- ing boat, with the Japanese aboard, went out early in the morning to the Golden Gate and for many hours the divers made descents In deep water, but without find- ing a trace of the Rio. Nautical experts and the divers themselves think that the Rio did not strike on Fort Point Rock, but that she struck on Mile Rock, near Point Lobos. On the day of the wreck Pilot Jordan stated that the ship had struck on Mile Rock, and this was the Information sent all over the world. From the fact that every possible spot near Fort Point has been explored by the Jap- anese divers it seems almost incredible that the ship could have struck near the point. The divers yesterday were able to work with far greater ease than on Saturday, as they had a large "Columbia River boat," in which they had all their ap- paratus and could row around in the boat instead of being towed. The first descent was made by Hayakawa, the sixth of the divers of the Mori' Company to search for the RIo's hull. He went down in six and a quarter fathoms of water at the spot where on Saturday the sounding lead had caught. and white paint had been brought up on an anchor.' On the run out to Fort Point the cap- tain of the Alert stated that he thought he could place the divers right over the spot where the wreck lay. He was given a chance to do so by the representatives of The Call in charge of the expedition and brought his tug up to tho very spot where the divers had on Saturday fouled their sounding leads. Uncharted Rocks Found. Thls spot Is one mile southwest of the fort in a direct line. The captain of the tug entered the boat with the divers, and when Hayakawa had been under water five minutes the captain became excited and cried: ... "I think he has her; ho remains in one spot a long time." ¦•• ¦ The diver remained ¦ down for twenty- flve minutes, the boat rowing in a direct line toward the fort' and, reaching depths from twelve to eighteen fathoms. The diver proceeded on the bed of the Golden Gate for more than half a mile and when ho came up he reported no sign of the wreck. Most important Information was, however, gleaned by the descent. It was learned that the ocean bottom was not level there, as had been supposed, but that it was full of big rocks, which at low water might strike a ship I drawing as much water as the Rio did. If the Rio, being out of her course, passed In the di- rection in -which the diver walked vester- MYSTIC SHRINERS fi;L _ NEAR A NEW .OASIS Honors of Islam Temple Will Be Handed Out With Lavish Hand. - Every hotel In San Francisco was crowded to Its capacity last night in an- ticipation of the arrival of the band of Mystic Shriners now on the way from Los Angeles. Many of the men who axe en- titled to wear the red flag but were not privileged to Join the caravan arrived in the city, bringing tneir wives and children in order to assist in welcoming the im- perial potentate, Lon B. Wlnsor, at nooa to-day. That is to say. If the caravan does not get sidetracked In the desert and every- thing goes well, the Shrlners will be en time. Every arrangement has been made for the comfort of the guests. Oases have been established at various points alonj.t the route, and the desert regions will hi traversed at extra-camel speed, owlns i~ of valuable wreckage from the ill-fated Rio de Janeiro. Lieutenant Gardiner has made a thorough Investigation Into the matter and says that there is no founda- tion for the story. "A portion of a deck cabin' drifted into Horseshoe Cove last Sunday morning," said the lieutenant yesterday, "and it^was overhauled by a crowd of fishermen. They were stripping it of everything valuable when several of the soldiers put out in a small boat and drove \ them ' off. The wreckage was towed ashore and is now on the beach. . "One of the soldiers found a pair of opera glasses, another a set of razors and a third has a water pitcher. It is said to be silver. I wouldn't want to buy it for silver, however. Oh, yes, anpther of the men has a cabinet photograph of one of the survivors of the wreck." F. J. Matheson, a.journalist of New York City, who > came here- In the hope of regaining the body of his brother," H. Cripps Matheson, who went down with the Rio de Janeiro, visited Fort Baker yesterday, having heard that a valise be- longing to his brother had been washed asnore. The soldiers knew nothing of it other than they had heard that a resident of Sausallto had recovered a valise. They did not know the name of the finder. Matheson is particularly anxious to find the. valise, as it contains some valuable papers. .A dozen or more small boats hovered around Horseshoe Cove yesterday, the occupants believing that some of the bodies might come to the surface and be carried inshore by the tide. Yesterday was the ninth day after the wreck and the bodies of drowned persons generally come to the surface on the ninth day. The searchers were doomed to disappoint- ment, for 'When the sun went down none of the bodlep had been seen. WILDMAN'S MEMORYHONORED. Dead Consul and - Family Eulogized at St. Luke's Church. -Touching tributes to the memory of the late Consul Rounsevelle Wildman and family, all of whom went down to death In the wreck of the R.io de Janeiro, were paid by Rev. Burr -Weeden at the me- morial services in St. Luke's Episcopal Church yesterday afternoon. The services throughout were of the most impressive nature. ... . ., . -;:v- Near the chancel, which was tastefully banked with lilies and other floral pieces, sat the- relatives of the family, and deceased Consul, spoke feelingly of his heroism in risking his life, possibly to go back to the purser's safe to search for tho papers of his Government, after hav- ing'placed his wife and little ones safely into the lifeboat. He referred to Mrs. Wildman as "that young woman whom we all remember so dearly — so good In her pure motHerhood," and of the children he asked, "Are not they such as those of the kingdom of heaven?" . "The rod with which our Father smites us is cut from the tree of life." said Rev. Mr. Wecden. "It is only he who can hold the soul to his breast and soothe it with the lullaby of heaven.- The Lord says: 'These flowers. are mine.: I, planted them and I pluck them.' Let us rejoice to-day that paradise-, is gathering- up so much that is attractive. These flowers are needed there. Then when- we who are be- hind shall enter the gates of that para- dise—that flowery kingdom—and ask at last for our loved and lost, how you and I shall gather them up! Oh, how we shall gather them up!" EX- JUDGfi E. A. BELCHER <':'JU\ • EXPLAINS AN OPINION Divorced Couples May Bemarry at Any Time Within Bounds of Pre- vious Relationship. The application of Mr. and Mrs. Frel- erick Meinhold j for a jlicense to remarry, which was re/used by the County Clerk under section 61 of the Civil Code and tho Interpretation of, Judges Belcher and Troutt regarding the laws of divorce, has called from Judge - Belcher an indignant protest. .He says: ,.; , , "There is a misapprehension as to uie force and extent of the decision rendered. In Woods vs. Woods it was held that under the law of this State a divorced person has no authority to marry a third person, until one year, from the date of the divorce, but lt:waj nof held that tho parties to the divorce could not remarry within the inhibited Dcriod." ™*-fj CITY CHATJFFETJBS ON CLIFF HOUSE BUN The run of self-propelled vehicles out to the Cliff House yesterday was the most successful on the records of local auto- mobism. At least twenty-seven horseless carriages were at the rendezvous at 11 In the morning on Van Ness avenue near Golden Gate, forming In line, with Presi- dent Rogers of the Automobile Club of California leading in an electric vehicle, the chauffeurs proceeded west on Golden Gate avenue for a short distance, turned and went down the avenue and Market street to the Palace Hotel. On New Mont- gomery street they counter-marched, pro- ceeded thence up Market street and Gold- en Gate avenue to Devisadero street, and thence out to the 'Panhandle, along Fell street to Stanyan, up Stanyan tp McAllis- ter, down McAlllscer to First avenue, along the avenue to Point Lobos avenue and thence out to the Cliff House. At the Cliff House a meeting was held, L. D. Rogers of the Automobile Club " being called to the chair. President Rogers welcomed those present, and called upon A. E. Brooke-Ridley, who spoke of the progress made in the sport In the last year. Charles C. Moore urged the neces- sity* of action witn regard to the use of Golden Gate Park by the automoblllsts, and at his suggestion the following were appointed members of a committee to at- tend the next meeting of the Park Com- missioners: L,. D.* Rogers, president, and A. E. Brooke-Ridle^' vice president of the Automobile Club; Charles C. Moore, John Brisben Walker Jr., W. H. Talbot, Byron Jackson, E. Courtney Ford. W. H. Taylor, E. L. Brayton and E. Anthony. Mr. Lyons of the Automobile Club of New York related the experience of chauffeurs In that city, and recommended discretion in dealing with the Park Commissioners. All owners of horseless carriages and oth- ers Interested in automobilism are re- quested to appear before the Park Com- missioners at their next meeting on Thursday night at the Park Lodge. -. After refreshments had been served, the chauffeurs proceeded homeward along Point Lobos avenue to the Presidio, round the reservation arid out at the Lombard- street entrance. The following went out on the rvm: L. V D. Rogers and A. K. Brooke-Ridley, Charles C. Moore and Ar- thur F. L. Bell of Los Angeles: G. W. Baumhoff and wife, A. Aiken and wife, Mrs. Dr. J.

While numerous friends -.'and fellow- artists were preparing a grand perform- ance for the benefit of Jacob Mueller, the pioneer musician, the aneel of death laid its hands upon the Intended beneficiary and removed him from the need of the care and attention so freely volunteered by the kind-hearted people who offered their services. The death occurred at the German Hospital yesterday- afternoon. Though the various numbers the programme at the benefit performance were cleverly rendered, it was evident that the hearts of the performers were not In, their work. While the death occurred early yesterday afternoon, it was not thought advisable to break up th'e arrangements made.'and but few or the audience knew at tlrst that while they were convulsed •with laughter or applauding vigorously the one for whose benefit the performance was .given was cold in death. When the news finally became known through- out the hall the members of the audience, most of whom were personally acquaint- ed with the deceased, were shocked be- yond expression, and throughout the large gathering place could be heard ex- pressions of the deepest sympathy for the widow, Inez Fabbri-Mueller. The benefit was given last night at Na- tive Sons' Hall, and the number of peo- ple present was ample evidence of the popularity of the unfortunate artist. The performance opened with a one.-act farce in German, after which selections were rendered by the following well known and clever people: Sidney Smith, Mr. Roland, Irene Palmer, E. B. Adams, the Water- man sisters, William Hynes, Lillian Levy and Queenie Tilton. The "Operetta of Parquerete" was then given, with the following named people In the cast: C. Drawer, Kate Krleg, Minnie Huff and Daisy Bishop. While Performers Are Amusing Audience, News of His Passing ¦ Spreads Through the Hall. Death of Jacob Mueller Re- moves Need of Earthly .

Expert Cracksmen Pry Open. Door ofSmall Safe and Secure
rENXETT'S RESTAURANTENTERED BY BURGLARS
About $100.Pctw^n the hours of 1and Ia. ra. yes-
terday burg-la rs entered Dennett's res-taurant. 74? Market street, and pried opena small safe containing about $100, whichmoney thpy secured. At midnight a pri-vate ¦watchmnn on the block tested thefront door of the establishment andpcrutln'zed the interior, but found noth-ing wrong.
The safe is a small one of inferior makeand us»*d only for holdinpr small amountsof money over night. Entrance to therestaurant was gained by breaking a lock0:1 the rear door, and while the transac-tion savors very much of the work ofprofessionals, the cracksmen evidentlyfound upon examining- the safe that itcould be opened without the use of pow-der. A strong vise was applied to the ex-terior of #th* supposed strong box, whichoffered little resistance, and the hingesand locks speedily gave -way.
The spoils represented only the after-noon receipts of the house, as all funds onhand were banked at noon Saturday.
Millionaire "Bill".- Bradbury, who re-cently acquired fame as aji expectoratorin street cars, narrowly escaped seriousinjury in the park yesterday. He wascrivjr.g a spirited horse on the speedtrack, when the animal took fright, ranaway and dumped the millionaire out ofhis road cart just at the gates at thecast entrance. Excitement followed the-report that Millionaire Bradbury had metwuh an accident, but after the wreckage5ia<2 been cleared away and the vhiUmof the mishap had announced that he wasgoing hom* for supper matters quietedoown.
Bradbury left his home, JSOO Van Nessavenue, early in the afternoon to take adrive to the Cliff. He sinned on his wayhome about 4 o'clock, entered the speedtrack and "let hie horse out." The horselinaiiy"let a little further out." Bradburylost control of tho beast and was finallydumped out. The- horse continued on itsmad run down the main drive. MountedOfticer J. K. Kavanaugh and PolicemanDow saw th^ horse coming, hurried to theroad and caught the runaway. The cartwas badly w:ecite<J. but upon Investiga-tion It was found that neither Mr. Brad-bury nor the horse were injured. Afterviewing the wreck Bradbury said hewould take a car home.
Th* Bradbury accident' was the onlyone reported during the day. The crowdsat the park and beach were unusuallylarge, as they were at the Chutes andSutro's Baths. At the Chutes the playcf the juveniles was the feature.

"BILL"BRADBURYHASA RUNAWAY
day It is certain that she must hav©struck on one of these rocks and not onFort Point Rock, as claimed.If she struck on one of these rock3,
then she must have backed Into deep wa-ter a few minutes and probably sank inthirty 'or more fathoms of water. Theconflicting statements made by the sur-viving officers of the rfhlp ar.d the pil'jtfurnish no proof that the vessel everhung on the rock on which she struck.
Important Experiment Tried.After the diver had made two more de-
scents in the region where it was thoughtthe Rio had foundered. Ifshe had struckon one of the submerged rocks in the six-fathom depth, an experiment was triedwhich resulted Inan important discovery.
Second Officer Coghlan stated emphati-cally when testifying before InspectorsBolles and Bulger thit from the time theRio left the nlnc-fathom buoy to come intoport until the warning lightof Fort Pointflashed up. just before the ship struck,that.the direction of the course. was north-east and that It was never changed until5:19 a. m., when a lightflashed up one anda half points on the starboard bow andthe vessel went on the rocks.'Pilot Jordan testified that when he heft
the anchorag-e he" set a course northeastfrom the lightshipuntil he had the PointBonita fog signal on his beam. Then hechanged his course to nortoeast by northand maintained it for fifteen minutes,when he continued to naul north. -
The tug was placed in the two positionsindicated and showed that with the coursedescribed by Coghlan the Rio must haverun ashore near Fort Point, while if sh-skept the pilot's course she must harecleared the red buoy and come safely in-side the bay. . * ,
-Unable to Reach Mils Rock.
"Although the divers yesterday deslre.1to meke descents in, the vicinity of MileRock, where they think the vessel struck,the captain of the. .tug'A.'ert stated .thatthe current was too strong for them. to godown there. Ifa descent is made at MilsRock it must be done lit the early morningat slack tide.
On the full ebb tide yesterday- the divermade a perilous trio. He went down fif-teen fathoms on the anchor of the flsh-lnp boat and the tMe was allowed todrift the boat with the diver toward Mi)aRock. The diver remained down for fortv-five minutes and -finally, when the swirlof the tide was reached after almost amile and a half had been traversed, ItwasthouKht to be absolutely dangerous forthe diver to proceed further and he. wasordered to come up.. . ..¦
The full ebb tide, running at seven'mlle»an hour, made itimpossible to go furthertoward Mile Rock and the divers werebrought back to the city.

The Olympic Club handball tournamentcame to. a close yesterday.' H. W. Boganand Louis Levy carried off the hojpors ofthe tournament and each will receive agold medal for his skill at the game. Thecontests yesterday were the best playedduring the tournament. The players hadbattled their way through the matchesand the best men were pitted against eachother.
H. W. Bogan and T. J. Powers, bothhandicap men, were too much for thescratch men in the first class- and- wonfirst and second prizes, jBogan defeatedPowers a few nights ago and it wasagreed that the first named would repeathis victory to-day. The prophets werenot .wrong, .but were surprised at thesplendid showing Powers made .againsthis cleverer opponent. Both men playeda stronc game and the spectators werakept in suspense. •Bogan assumed a leadnear the latter part of the contest andby ¦a terrific toss won out. Score 51-34.Bogan willbe awarded a gold medal andPowers a silver medal.
* <•In the second class Johnson and Levv
were the contestants. On JFriday nightlast Johnson put McLeod out of the run-ning in a
--,well-contested game. Yester-
day afternoon Levy turned the tables onJohnson and will be awarded first prize.The game was even more exciting thanthat of Bogan and Powers. Johnson tookthe lead. Before half the game was overhe had 35 to Levy's 18. The latter pulledhimself together and managed to overhaulhis opponent. Levy then settled down towork and mrfha£red to win the game.Score 51-37.

IMPRESSEDby the work of the Jap-
anese divers, who on Saturday triedfor many hours to locate the wreck"of the Rio de Janeiro, The Call yes-terday placed every facility at the
disposal of the divers in the hope of theirbeing able to find the spot where the hullof the ill-fated steamship is resting.
The powerful tug Alert and a large fish-ingboat, with the Japanese aboard, wentout early in the morning to the GoldenGate and for many hours the divers madedescents In deep water, but without find-inga trace of the Rio. Nautical expertsand the divers themselves think that theRio did not strike on Fort Point Rock,but that she struck on Mile Rock, nearPoint Lobos. On the day of the wreckPilot Jordan stated that the ship hadstruck on Mile Rock, and this was theInformation sent all over the world. Fromthe fact that every possible spot nearFort Point has been explored by the Jap-anese divers it seems almost incrediblethat the ship could have struck near thepoint.
The divers yesterday were able to workwith far greater ease than on Saturday,as they had a large "Columbia Riverboat," in which they had all their ap-paratus and could row around in the boatinstead of being towed. The first descentwas made by Hayakawa, the sixth of thedivers of the Mori'Company to search forthe RIo's hull. He went down in six anda quarter fathoms of water at the spotwhere on Saturday the sounding lead hadcaught. and white paint had been broughtup on an anchor.'
On the run out to Fort Point the cap-tain of the Alert stated that he thoughthe could place the divers right over thespot where the wreck lay. He was givena chance to do so by the representativesof The Call in charge of the expeditionand brought his tug up to tho very spotwhere the divers had on Saturday fouledtheir sounding leads.
Uncharted Rocks Found.Thls spot Is one mile southwest of the
fort in a direct line. The captain of thetug entered the boat with the divers, andwhen Hayakawa had been under waterfive minutes the captain became excitedand cried: ..."Ithink he has her; ho remains in onespot a long time." ¦••
¦
The diver remained ¦ down for twenty-flve minutes, the boat rowing in a directline toward the fort'and, reaching depthsfrom twelve to eighteen fathoms. Thediver proceeded on the bed of the GoldenGate for more than half a mile and whenho came up he reported no sign of thewreck. Most important Information was,however, gleaned by the descent. Itwaslearned that the ocean bottom was notlevel there, as had been supposed, but thatit was full of big rocks, which at lowwater might strike a ship Idrawing asmuch water as the Rio did. If the Rio,being out of her course, passed In the di-rection in -which the diver walked vester-
MYSTIC SHRINERSfi;L_ NEAR A NEW .OASIS
Honors of Islam Temple Will BeHanded Out With Lavish
Hand.-
Every hotel In San Francisco wascrowded to Its capacity last night in an-ticipation of the arrival of the band ofMystic Shriners now on the way from LosAngeles. Many of the men who axe en-titled to wear the red flag but were notprivileged to Join the caravan arrived inthe city,bringing tneir wives and childrenin order to assist in welcoming the im-perial potentate, Lon B. Wlnsor, at nooato-day.
That is to say. Ifthe caravan does notget sidetracked In the desert and every-thing goes well, the Shrlners will be entime. Every arrangement has been madefor the comfort of the guests. Oases havebeen established at various points alonj.tthe route, and the desert regions will hitraversed at extra-camel speed, owlns i~
of valuable wreckage from the ill-fatedRio de Janeiro. Lieutenant Gardiner hasmade a thorough Investigation Into thematter and says that there is no founda-tion for the story.
"A portion of a deck cabin' drifted intoHorseshoe Cove last Sunday morning,"said the lieutenant yesterday, "and it^wasoverhauled by a crowd of fishermen. Theywere stripping it of everything valuablewhen several of the soldiers put out in asmall boat and drove \ them
'off. The
wreckage was towed ashore and is nowon the beach. .
"One of the soldiers found a pair ofopera glasses, another a set of razors anda third has a water pitcher. It is said tobe silver. Iwouldn't want to buy it forsilver, however. Oh, yes, anpther of themen has a cabinet photograph of one ofthe survivors of the wreck."
F. J. Matheson, a.journalist of NewYork City, who >came here- In the hopeof regaining the body of his brother," H.Cripps Matheson, who went down withthe Rio de Janeiro, visited Fort Bakeryesterday, having heard that a valise be-longing to his brother had been washedasnore. The soldiers knew nothing of itother than they had heard that a residentof Sausallto had recovered a valise. Theydid not know the name of the finder.Matheson is particularly anxious to findthe. valise, as it contains some valuablepapers..A dozen or more small boats hoveredaround Horseshoe Cove yesterday, theoccupants believing that some of thebodies might come to the surface and becarried inshore by the tide. Yesterdaywas the ninth day after the wreck andthe bodies of drowned persons generallycome to the surface on the ninth day.The searchers were doomed to disappoint-ment, for'When the sun went down noneof the bodlep had been seen.
WILDMAN'S MEMORYHONORED.
Dead Consul and-Family Eulogized
at St. Luke's Church.-Touching tributes to the memory of the
late Consul Rounsevelle Wildman andfamily, all of whom went down to deathIn the wreck of the R.io de Janeiro, werepaid by Rev. Burr -Weeden at the me-morial services in St. Luke's EpiscopalChurch yesterday afternoon. The servicesthroughout were of the most impressivenature. ... . ., . -;:v-
Near the chancel, which was tastefullybanked with lilies and other floral pieces,sat the- relatives of the family, anddeceased Consul, spoke feelingly of hisheroism in risking his life, possibly to goback to the purser's safe to search fortho papers of his Government, after hav-ing'placed his wife and little ones safelyinto the lifeboat. He referred to Mrs.Wildman as "that young woman whomwe all remember so dearly
—so good Inherpure motHerhood," and of the childrenhe asked, "Are not they such as those of
the kingdom of heaven?" ."The rod with which our Father smitesus is cut from the tree of life." said Rev.
Mr. Wecden. "Itis only he who can holdthe soul to his breast and soothe it withthe lullaby of heaven.- The Lord says:'These flowers. are mine.: I,planted themand Ipluck them.' Let us rejoice to-daythat paradise-, is gathering- up so muchthat is attractive. These flowers areneeded there. Then when- we who are be-hind shall enter the gates of that para-dise—that flowery kingdom—and ask atlast for our loved and lost, how you andIshall gather them up! Oh, how we shallgather them up!"

While numerous friends -.'and fellow-artists were preparing a grand perform-ance for the benefit of Jacob Mueller, thepioneer musician, the aneel of death laidits hands upon the Intended beneficiaryand removed him from the need of thecare and attention so freely volunteeredby the kind-hearted people who offeredtheir services. The death occurred at theGerman Hospital yesterday- afternoon.
Though the various numbersthe programme at the benefit performancewere cleverly rendered, itwas evident thatthe hearts of the performers were not In,their work. While the death occurred early
yesterday afternoon, it was not thought
advisable to break up th'e arrangementsmade.'and but few or the audience knewat tlrst that while they were convulsed•with laughter or applauding vigorouslythe one for whose benefit the performancewas .given was cold in death. Whenthe news finallybecame known through-out the hall the members of the audience,most of whom were personally acquaint-ed with the deceased, were shocked be-yond expression, and throughout thelarge gathering place could be heard ex-pressions of the deepest sympathy for thewidow, Inez Fabbri-Mueller.
The benefit was given last night at Na-tive Sons' Hall, and the number of peo-ple present was ample evidence of thepopularity of the unfortunate artist. Theperformance opened with a one.-act farcein German, after which selections wererendered by the following well known andclever people: Sidney Smith, Mr. Roland,Irene Palmer, E. B. Adams, the Water-man sisters, William Hynes, Lillian Levyand Queenie Tilton.
The "Operetta of Parquerete" was thengiven, with the following named people Inthe cast: C. Drawer, Kate Krleg, MinnieHuff and Daisy Bishop.
