The.men were officials or employes of the defunct Dan Hays and company of Idaho which sold lands in Madera and Merced counties of Callfornia, The lands were practically worth- less, accoerding to the government petition harging the defendants with a scheme to use the mails to defraud. The men are charged with selling the lands to persons in all parts of the United States. ‘These men joined in a scheme to defraud persons living at a great distance from California,’ the peti- on charged. "They induced men and women, some in poor circum. stances, to send them money, prom- fsory notes, rea! estate or Liberty bonds in exchange for an interest in these lands.’* The holdings of the company were known as the Chowch'lla and Bliss each. 2 The company alleged the lands were ready for instant cultivation. while in factionly a small portion was free from a!kall covering, the charges alleged. The land sold for $200. The gov- ernment alleged the company sold many times the acreage they owned. The Hays company was originally founded in 1855 as the C. G. Hays and company. It had many branches in large cities all over the country. More than 200 witnesses willbe called by the government and the trial {s expected to last more than six weeks. Judge W. C.

A San Diego business man who paid a hotel bill for her here & few weeks ago is also being cought. Attempts are being made to trace the check he gave the management. Fritzi’s delicate condition—she was to be a mother in four months— coupled with the scene in the cottage, and perhaps a few drinks of liquor is held responsible by the police for her unconscious condition and eventually her death. Captain Lou's Jacobs, army in- terne at Camp Kearney, who was a close friend and reputed admirer of Fritzi, and who she consulted on the question of an operation which would have prevented motherhood, was stil in custody tonight. A writ of habeas corpus is pending, the hear- ing on application to be hpard Mon- day. At that time the police must either decide to release him, or keep him in custody for furthér question- ing by placing a serious charge in connection with the proposed ppera- tion against him.
