THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JUNE 6, 1895. SNED BY MR, MEYER, < A Juror in the Paulsell Case “Prejudiced Against the Court.” HE VOTED FOR ACQUITTAL. The Eieven Who Were for Convic- tion Charge Him With Per- Jury—The Defense. The trial of William E. Paulsell for the daring robbery of a Market-street faro game on February 16, 1894, reached its final stage yesterday after running its course for three days. The proceedings yesterday presented several unusual features. There was a ng defense, representing the de- nt Paulsell asnot a robber, but as having been himself robbed, clothed by the real criminals with all the circumstances bad refused to take a small sum offered. Among the places he visited was Carroll's faro place and there he only entered the first room and withdrew after makin; some passing remarks. Then he weni back to the Burlington and remained there until 11 P. M., when he came out again, | leaving his overcoat and cuifs as \ pledge that he would return. The defendant then detailed his meeting with Cushing, “Tod” McDonald and Mar- shall, leaving the latter about 3:45. “I walked down to Carroll’s place,” con- tinued he, “intending to drop in for a game before going to bed. When I reached 620 Market street I noticed the door was slightly ajar, and as I pushed it open and entered I was confronted by a man who pointed a pistoi at me and called out, | ‘Hands up.’ “Then 2 secona man came round and began to search me. ‘Seeif he’s got any weapon,’ said one. ‘He's got some money,’ said the other. ‘Take 1it,” said the man with the gun. So he took $17 in gold and silver from my pants pocket. “Just then the man with the gun— though both of them had guns—said, ‘The — — —— upstairs are hollering. i You better get rid of your coat.” Both the ! men had on long mackintoshes. ‘So one of them whips off his coat, | knocks my hat off, puts another hat on my | head and places his long coat round my | shoulders. Then he takes hold of my ! clothes and runs a long gistol down the leg of my left leg next the flesh and shoved | me into the street.” At this point the | ! witness rose and dramatically showed how fectly fair trial. It is the duty of the jury to be guided by the law and evidence only. If a juror is prejudiced against the court that should not enter into the question of a verdict. You have been engaged several days in hearinfi the case and it is desirable that you should reach a verdict.” ‘1 think this is a matter for the Grand Jury,” said Foreman Hinkle. “I would ask permission of the court to consult with the court and_the attorneys in the case in reFurd to the juror referred to.’’ ‘T have no right,”” sald the Judge, ‘‘to grant any such permission. You should agree upon a verdict and I shall return at 10 o’clock to receive it."” “I would suggest,”’ said Hinkle, “that you send a Deputy Sheriff with us, other- wise there is a probability of this juror being thrown out of the window."” The suggestion was unheeded by the court and the jury retired. ¥ Shortly before 10 o’clock the Judge again took his seat on the bench and the jury was called in. In _answer to the usual question Foreman Hinkle said tbey could not agree upon a verdict. He handed the court the following report: We, jurymen in the case of the geovle against W. E. Paulsell, beg to report to this court that Juryman Julius Meyer declared in the jury- room, after the second ballot, that he was Jrejudiced against the court and ehould not be n this case, and that he had been reprimanded by the Judge in snother case and would not change his vote if he stayed here for three months. Therefore in our opinion the said Julius Meyer is guilty of per&ur v in having on oath declared that he coul g?ve this case a fair trial. Johu Hinkle (foreman), M. Rehfisch, 7 7 /i ' = W H TipBALL PAULSELL QHOWING How 1T wWAS DONED THE DEFENDANT PAULSELL TELLING HIS STORY IN COURT. [Sketched by a ““Call” artist.] of crime under an unjust accusation for over a year. There was the pathetic spec- tacle of his brother, an honored member of the bar, pleading for his brother’s vin- dication in the face of overwhelming odds and himself taking the stand in his de- fense. There were the facts of the prison- er's reputable family, his aversion wealth, the testimony of friends from all over the country to his having borne a | good reputation, even though his occupa- tion was Known to be that of a profe gambler. There was the eternal ““woman in the case,’ a strong attempt to prove al- most a complete alibi up to the very arrest of the defendant, the appearance of the defendant himself on the stand and,in fact, every element of interest culminating in the verdict of the jury. Upon the convening of Judge Belcher’s court in the morning every seat was occu- pied. Attorney J. Paulseil made the oper- 1 statement for the defense. He de- clared his side would show every move- ment of the prisoner from 7:40 o'clock on the evening of the 15th of February, 1594, until his arrest about 3 o’clock the next morning, and outlined those movements as having been from the Burlington Hotel to various saloons and gambling-places until he reached Carroll’s resort at 620 Market street shortly after 2:45 a. M. Then counsel made the startling state- ment that he would show that his brother on pushing open the street door had been confronted by two men, who had robbed him of about $17, taken off his hat and re- vlaced it by another, had then thrown a mackintosh over his shoulders and pushed him out into the street to fall almostinto the arms of the arresting officers. His general contention would be that as the heir to large property interests and on good terms with a rich mother he had no mo- tive for committing the crime with which he was charged. 5 The first witness to support this line of defense was W. H. Tidball, a railroad de- tective, who said he had seen the prisoner and a man named Marshall, about 2:35 o’clock on the morning of the robbery, in front of the Peerless saloon. Although he knew this fact, he had not spoken about it until a month before the trial. I. R. Wilbur, formerly partner of the de- fendant’s father, testified to the prisoner’s good character as far as he knew it. This q ame line of testimony was afterward ven by Mike H. Smith, a saloon-keeper f this City ; General J. W. B:Montgomery, rancher; Sheriff Wilson, Attorney J. D. Sproule, Banker Robinson, T. H. Bernard, livery stable-keeper, all of Chico; John Stevenson, farmer; T. Gordon. gun- dealer; W. W. Ward, saloon-keeper; Mayor W. T. Ellis Jr., all of Marysville; James Orndorff, saloon-keeper of this City; Attor- ney A. T. Vogelsang of this City and Judge E. H. Tams (éf Slchklan. e George A. Cushing, a gam’ “Carib%o George,” t,eshgfied that at 12:30 o’clock on the morning of the robbeg he had been asked at the Golden West Hotel by the defendant for money, on a degt of over $100 owed on a “‘string account,” but that Paulsell refused to take $5 when it was offered. A Fred Marshall, a gambling man and sport, had met Paulsell at about 12:30 on that morning at the Golden West Hotel, and saw him at 2 o’clock in the barroom there. Together they went to the Peerless saloon and down Market street, meeting one Frank, or “Tod,” McDonald, who was not produced to testify. Opposite Wid- ber’s drugstore, on the corner of Third and Market streets, the prisoner and Marshall had separated, the latter going down Third and Paulsell continuing along Market to- ward Carroll’s faro place. Just beiore sepa- rating Marsball had glanced up at the Chronicle clock tower and remarked to his companion that it was 3:45a. M. The prosecution had shown that the robbery took place about 3:40 A. M. Then the defendent took the stand. In answer to his_counsel’s questions he told he had left his room on O’Farrell street on the evening of the 15th February and engaged a room at the Burlington "Hotel for himself and a friend, From there he had roamed about town, going to several ambling places and at one staking a dol- fnr on the last or “‘hot” card of the deck, getting his money back. He had ed “c. 'S ad ask =riboo” George for some money and to | | the pistol was thrust down his trouser-leg. | | _ “I was dazed and staggered along toward | Montgomery street, when I heard the | iingle of coin dropped on the sidewal¥. I ! put my hand down and found a_stocking | which had been left in the outside pocket | of the coat placed upon me by the robber. | The coin was dropped from that and when 1 saw some officers approach I handed it to them.” | Assistant District Attorne; | cross-examined the witness. Paulsell said | he had not made known this perfect de- fense before because of his lady friend at the Burlington. He had not wished his wife to know he had been arrested. “Why didn’t you tell the arresting offi- cers?”’ urged Peixotto. “I realized the position I was in,” said the defendant. “Well, if you realized your position, what was it?” What were youarrested for? Not because of your friend at the hotel, wasit? What did you think it was for?” But the witness only repeated that he realized his position, and asked his cross- examiner with an air of reproach whether he thought it necessary for a man to tell all his troubles to an officer. “Those men, you say,”’ pursued Peixotto, ‘“didn’t wear masks. Should you know them again ?” The witness smiled. *I don’t think I should,” he answered. Then he was asked about their guns; whether there was much difficulty in thrusting the long pistol down his trouser leg, and whether he thought that men who had just robbed a bank of thousands of dollars would care to waste time in rob- bing him of his small change. The defeadant-witness stuck to his story of the robbers robbing him, and said he thought he would have been out of prison by 1i o’clock the next day. That was the reason he had given a fictitions name. For a year and four months he had not divulged the true facts of that night. In corroboration of the defendant’s state- ment that he had thought he would soon be released an officer testified that on the n\orninf after his arrest he had stated that all would be explained at the proper time, and had asked him to get his overcoat and cuffs from the Burlington Hotel. Then the case went to the four attorneys for argument. Associate Prosecuting At- torney Martin Stevens opened, followed by Attorneys Bert and Paulsell for the de- fense, Assistant District Attorney Peixotto closing. Each talked for fifteen minutes. _ The defense urged that there was no mo- tive for a crime, as Paulsell would inherit one-fourth of $46,000 in a few years, had a general interest in an estate valued at 114,000, and was good friends with his mother, who had private means amounting t0 $35,000. The line of defense was prob- able and the good character of the defend- ant has been vouched for in court. The prosecution ridiculed the defense as a fairy tale of the first water. Nothing but a goat oran ostrich could swallow it. There should not be a different law for the rich and Eoor, and the fact that the defendant was honorably connected should not weigh against the evidence of his guilt. Upon the jury lay the burden of putting a stop to this class of crimes inthe community. After Judge Belcher had delivered his charge, with special reference to the de- fendant’s own testimony and the value of circumstantial evidence, the jury retired to deliberate on its verdict. There was an unexpected sensation in the case last mfht. and one of the jurors, Julius Meyer of 1122 Turk street, may find himself in serious trouble before many days are past. he jury retired at 4:30 ». M.and at 6 o'clock’ went to supper. The Judge had notified them that he would be in court at 8 o’clock to receive their verdict. Shortly before 8 o’clock Jndée Belcher took his seat on the bench and the jury was called in. As soon as they had taken their seats John Hinkle, the foreman, the sensation. 'p.‘%a,gur Honor,” he said, “we have failed to agree upon a verdict, and there is | no use sending us back, as one of the s he is prejudiced against the jurors says h P! . court and will stay out three months if necessary rather than agree.

Gallagher, E.'W. Skelton, Henry Neeb- In our opinion be is nota competent jury- man. Byron Mauzy, Willlam McPhun, M. Meyerhot. Juror Meyer asked permission to make a statement, and he was warned by Assistant District Attorney Peixotto that it would be better for him to consult with his nttorneg first, as what he might say would be uae: to his prejudice in any subsequent pro- ceedings that might be taken against him. Meyer persisted in making a statement. He said: “After the second ballot the fore- man _asked who was the juror that had voted for acquittal, and I reptied that I had. Isaid there was evidence, which I mentioned, that put a reasonable doubt in my mind of the defendant’s guilt, and they all laughed at me. That made me excited and I said that in another case in which I was a juror the Judge had made remarks against those who were for acquittal that I felt keenly and which ought to make me prejudiced against the court. I said that they could not force me to vote against my convictions, even though I should stay there for three months.’ ‘‘“He distinctly said that he was preju- diced against the court,” said Foreman Hinkle, “and would not change his vote if he should stay out for three months.”’ “Am I to understand,” asked Mr. Peix- otto, “‘that eleven were for conviction and one for acquittal?” “Yes, sir,”’ answered Foreman Hinkle. “And the one for acquittal was Juror Meyer?”’ “Yes, sir.” The Judge said he remembered the case spoken of by Juror Meyer, but the remarks he then made should not interfere with his duty as a juror in any other case. ‘‘Gentlemen, you are discharged,” said the Judge to the jurors. “Mr.” Peixotto, gou will take whatever action you may eem necessary in regard to Juror Meyer.” Paulsell was remanded to the custody of the Sheriff. APPLIED CHRISTIANITY, An Institute Organized in this City to Apply Principles of Christianity to Social Problems. In the lecture-room of the Third Congre- gational Church, Fifteenth and Mission streets, was held last Monday evening a meeting for the purpose of organizing an institute of applied Christianity. Some forty members joined the institute. The purpose of this institute is: *To study in common how to apply the princi- les of Christianity to the modern prob- Fems of society.” ‘‘All persons who are in accord with the purpose of this institute, and who are willing to put in practice the teachings of Christ, will be elizible to mem- bership.” 5 For the Eresent the meetings shall take lace in the Third Congregational Church 'uesday evenings at 8 o’clock.

The most comfortable route to the East sum- mer or winter is the Santa Fe route. The sleep- ing-cars are superior and the meals en route are unequale.. There is less dust and no more heat than on any other line. A popular misbelief is that extreme heat pre- vails on this line in summer, while the fact is that the elevation of the whole line insures as comfortable a temperature as can be found on even the most northerly line. The northern part of Arizona is the summer resort of the people of that section, and the Grand Canyon of the Colorado is visited in the summer months exclusively. The Santa Fe route is first class all the wa; through to Chicago. The ticket office is 653 Market street, Chronicle building. The Pull- man sleepers run ut chnnfe from San Francisco to Chicago via Kansas City. . THE HARRINGTON MURDER Captain Lees Will Say Nothing at All Concerning the Crime. “| Iron THE MYSTERY A DAY LONGER. Suspiclous Stories Involving Ex- Senator Buck Have No Evidence to Confirm Them. Captain Lees refuses to say a word about the Harrington mystery, and yesterday was as barren of developments in the case that would point to either the man or the motive responsible for the murder as the previous days had been. “‘Read the Post if you want to know why I will not talk to reporters,” Captain Lees said last evening. The evening paper referred to contained yesterday a sensational story to the effect that the Police Department was sure that ex-Senator Buck, who died Tuesday morn- ing, was tho man who kitied Miss Harring- ton, and that the information in the pos- session of Captain Lees supporting that theory was withheld because the man more than suspected was dead. ‘While Captain Lees has consistently re- fused from the first to express an opinion about the connection of Buck with the case, either to assert or deny the hints, sus- picions and intimations in this direction that have gained currency, there has ap- peared no evidence whatever to warrant connecting ex-Senator Buck with the crime. The stories told by his family and by Moore, the hackman, which establish an alibi for him by showing that he did not reach the City last Saturday untila littld after the discovery of Miss Harring- ton’s remains, have not been contradicted. Detective Seymour has been endeavoring to clearly trace Mr. Buck’s movements that day and to establish his whereabouts dur- ing the noon hour by further convincing testimony, but no information that he may have gained has been given out. The remains of the late ex-Senator Buck will be laid away this afternoon, the funerat to be under the auspices of Live Oak Lodge of Masonsand the Knights Templar. The friends of the deceased and the Police Department must soon be able to put all mere rumors of Mr. Buck’s goingsand comings on that day definitelv to rest by producing convineing testimony. Captain Lees has not even insinuated that he sus- pected that Buck knew anything of the crime itself. Not a suggestion of a clew to the mur- derer developed yesterday, nor anything pointing to_the possible motive for the crime. The case is remarkable among murder mysteries for the complete ab- sence of any evidence of any kind upon which even rational theories and sus- picions may be built. The Harrington inquest is set for to- morrow, but there is no apparent promise that it will result in advance toward a so- Iution of the mystery. The arrangements for Miss Harrington's funeral Wi]f; not be made until Saturday after the return of Mr. and Mrs. Rae from Sacramento, where they went yesterday. It is yet uncertain whether the burial will be in Sacramento or Chicago. Mrs. Jackson, the widowed sister of the deceased, in whose favor the will reads, had a long private talk with Captain Lees in his office at the City Halt last night. Mrs. Jackson herself adheres to the_belief, which uypcnrs to be the result of intuition more than anything else, that her sister was murdered by unknown enemies who plotted her death. Mrs. Jackson for many years held closer rela- tions to the deceased than any others of the family, and while she knows nothing directly related to the crime what she knows of the life and character of her sister has been learned by the police in minute detail. Mrs. Jackson had a scare at 1017 Ellis street yesterday and last night she was iven lice protection. An officer was etailed to stay in the house and the watch will likely be continued until Mrs. Jack- son can sell the furniture of the flat, which is willed to her, and get away, which she will do as'soon as possible. The cause of her scare was the agpenrance yesterday afternoon of a man who walked about the street awhile studying the outside of the place, ana who then came inside, an- nounced himself as a detective and went to fumbling about the papers and books lying around. hen his authority was questioned he could not prove it and he was put out. He is thought to have been some amateur detective who wanted to unravel the mystery. However, Mrs. Jackson was afraid and went at once to the police station, with the result that she will hereafter be guarded in the apart- n;entu where the terrible tragedy took place. It is said that the people now occupying the different apartments in the house are getting ready to move out and away from the scene of the crime. The Harrington case has subsided into a buffling mystery which time may or may not solve. POTRERQ AND THE SOUTH. Eighteen Pupils Graduate From the South San Francisco School. Putting Silurian Cobblestones Be- tween the Solano - Street Tracks Stopped. A class of eighteen children graduated from the South San Francisco school Tues- day with appropriate exercises. The successful pupils were Mary Hen- nessey, Clementine Combatalade, Dagmar Rasmussen, Eva Barry, Nettie Burns, Regina Hallinan, Annie Byrnes, Alice Puckhaber, Annie Kreth, Mary O'Doul, Emma Lang, Bridget Coen, Frederick H. Todd, John Sullivan, Peter Pinocchio, John Blaisdell and J. T. Regan. The Denman medal was awarded to Clementine Combatalade, but as Mary Hennessey stood as high, Principal W. W. Stone and the teacher of the class, Miss Blanche McGuire, contributed a medal for her. Frederick H. Todd secured the Bridge medal. A series of stereopticon views by Mrs. Steele of places of interest in various parts of the world was shown at the exercises. Mary Hennessey delivered the salutatory address. Frederick Todd declaimed “The Hero of Lake Erie.”” Sixteen girls went through a very pre rill, and “there was also a motion_song by another bevy of apt girls. The “Bivouac of the Dead”” was re- cited by J. T. Regan. A farcical theatrical sketch was given by Annie Kreth, Mary Hennessey, Clemen- tine Combatalade, Annie Byrnes, kva Barry, Alice Puckhaber and Bridget Coen. Annie Kreth also sang several songs. The valedictory by Clementine Combat- alade and an address by Principal Stone, followed by the presentation of medals and diplomas, completed the exercises, The laying of cobblestones between the new electric car tracks on Solano street was stopped yesterday. For some time past property-owners have been protesting against it, and yesterday the construction department of the Market-street Railw:z Company was enjoined from going ahe: with the work. This line will grob:bl uly. be running by the beginning of t will enable Po- trero residents to go to the Golden Gate | fying way of Page. The Fillmore-street line runs out to Bay street. For a time it may be necessary to divide the system into three sections, Solano and Sixteenth streets being the first, Oak and Page streets the second and Fillmore street the third. The Solano and Kentucky streets switch is now being put in so that cars may reach the Kentucky-street car- house. There will be some delay in run- ning the comglete system until the Bryant- street power-house is finished. The Union orks has the generator engines almost readay. ‘Work on the battle-ship Oregon will now be pushed very rapidly. The turrets, in sections, and the armor-plates arrived at the Union Iron Works from the Carnegie Company yesterday. The immense pieces of steel aboard the cars were objects of con- siderable interest, At the Potrero Grammar School gradu- ating exercises this evening in the Potrero “Opera-house, Manager George W. Dickie of the Union Iron Works will give an_ad- dress, comparing an individual man witha man-of-war. Wissel Brothers intend to start a shoe factory at Napa and Solano streets.

Carl Park by way of Oak street, returning by I Klemme Says That He Was Slowly Starving in Prison. He Incurred the Enmity of the Gov- ernment by His Objectlons to Coolles. Carl Klemme yesterday followed the ex- ample of P. M. Rooney by swearing to his charges against the Dole Government in Hawaii. He charges gross neglect of the comfort of political prisoners, and says he was singled out as a ‘‘suspect” because of his opposition to the coolies. His state- ment is as follows: Was arrested January 7, 1895, at about 3:30 ». M., and placed ina céll. My cellmate was P. M.'Rooney. I was not given hammock nor bianket till next night. At about 8:30 in the morning of January 8, 1895, a breakfast was laced in the cell; it 'consisted of hardtack, eef, potato and tin of tea. Was not allowed out of the cell till about 12330 P. d.; was then iven about an hour of exercise. Next day, anuary 9. 1895, was notoutof my cell till apout 2:30 P. M. AlL this time I suffered severely from asthma. January 8, 1895, I was called inio the office by the jailer.’ He said to me that my wife was outside: that she had told me that my young- est child was sick; thatshe had leit somé medi- cine for me. He asked me in the presence of A.P. Peterson how I used the medicine. He then stated that I could notuse it atnight—I must use it during the day. He would not allow me to take it in the cell. I was refused on this occasion permission to see my wife. Through lack of medicine and irom close confinement my condition became worse daily, and at last I could scareely speak. About the 22d of January, 1895, at 9 p. ., I was removed to another cell. From 4 P. . of February 2, 1895, until 2 P. . next day I was not given food nor allowed exercise. Finally I could stand my sickness no longer. Iasked Kamana, deputy jailer, for a doctor. He said that I would have to wait until the next morning. This was the morning of about the 14th or 15th of February, 1895, 1 insisied upon having a doctor immediately. Aiter much delay Dr. Grossman was sent for. About ten minutes after the doctor had gone I fainted | in the prison yerd through weakness. For some time I had eaten nothing because of my sickness. I was carried into the hospital. After about fifteen minutes, with the assist- ance of two men, I was brought back tomy cell. On the 21st of February, 1895, 1 was called into the office of the jailer and left with one Henery. The office door was closed, and no one else was in the office. This was about 2 o'clock P. M. This man Henery has been in the coun- try about five months. Henery sald that he had seen the Marshal and my brother, Henry | Klemme. He had come to mé es s friend; had talked the matter over with the Marshal and my brother, Henry Klemme, and they had de- cided it was best for me to leave the country. 1 t0ld him I was guilty of 1o crime and would notgo. He told me that he knew this, but that 1 would be tried and found guilty; thet I had lost all my friends. I then asked him if Hawaii had a Russian government now. He laughingly replied that 11T did not agree to leave the country he would arrest my two brothers immediately. He turned toward me as I started to leave and said, ‘“Take my advice and go, for you wiil be found guilty.” I said I would go if the country would buy my proverty. The next day I saw my brother. He advised me to sign an agreement to leave the country, I asked, “How is this?” He said that he had seen the Marshal and that the Marshal had be- come angry at my refusal toleave, and had said that he had enough evidence to convict, and;that if he had not he would find evidence, T thefi decided to agree to leave. I was confined for forty-six days—irom January 7, 1895, until February 22, 1895. 1 have not been in_any- wise connected with the recent insurrection.’I had no prior knowledge of any such intended insurrection. CARL KLEMME. Subscribed and sworn to before Charles D. Wheat, Notary Public, San Francisco. MINES TO CONSOLIDATE. A Number of Companies Propose to ‘Work Together on the Brus- wick Lode. The directors of the Con. California & Virginia Mining Company yesterday morn- ing decided to call a special meeting of the stockholders to decide upon the advisa- bility of uniting with other mines on the Comstock to open up the Brunswick lode. The other mines concerned are the Chollar, Potosi, Hale & Norcross, Savage, Gould & Curry and Best & Belcher. The proposition is for each mine to buy as many feet on the Brunswick lode as they have on the Comstock lode. Then all will combine and bear the expense of running a tunnel, sharing the profits or the loss. Henry Zadig, the broker, who is largely interested in the scheme, says there isno doubt about its going through. When it is put in motion he declares that the bo- nanza times of twenty years ago will be discounted. “The experiment is bound to succeed,” he explained. “Why, where the Sutro tunnel cut the Comstock lode there were no mineral exhibits. Where it enters the Brunswick lode the rock shows $10 and $40 a ton, and experts have declared that it is far richer than the Comstock lode. “The St. John mine has 2100 feet and the Alabama and Bailey has 2926 feet on the Brunswick lode. This we can get for $12 50 a foot, a third down and the rest on easy terms. As only the surface of these mines has been worked and they have paid we will accomplish some marvelous results.” A. Leonard, the president of the Sutro tunnel, is to arrive in a few days. He will confer with the mining companies, and it is understood that he will advise them to combine and work west under Mount Davidson. THE MINERS’ ASSOCIATION, The Executive Committee Will Hold an Important Meeting at the Palace Hotel To-Night. The executive committee of the Cali- fornia Miners’ Association will meet at the Palace Hotel to-night. There are many things of importance to come before the committee, and the session will be an interesting one. g Probably the most important matter to be discussed is that of the mineral lands of California. The railroads have taken up hundreds and thousands of acres of min- eral lands, and one object of the executive committee will be to devise some plan by ‘which these lands can be thrown open to the public. It is a serious question, and one in which every Californian is more or less interested. i Many of the committee arrived yester- day, and it is expected that all will reach the City by noon to-day. President J. H. Neffcame in yesterday morning, and is at the Palace Hotel. e —————— The Cattaraugus River, in New York, has its name from an Indian expression, signi- “loud smelling banks.” THAT FAIR WHEAT SALE. Editor Will S. Green’s Opinion of Its Effect Upon the Market. THINKS PRICES WILL FALL. How Profit Could Be Made by Con-~ verting Much of the Graln Into Pork. Will 8. Green, editor of the Colusa Sun, was asked yesterday how he thought the sale of the wheat owned by James G. Fair would affect the interests of the grain- erowers of California. ‘“You ask what the effect of the sale of the Fair wheat will be. I say the effect is bad,” replied Mr. Green. “The fact that so much wheat is congested in this mar- ket, so to speak, will cause freights to go up, and if freights go up of course the price of wheat must go down in order to meet opposition in the markets of the world. “You see, Fair piled up this wheat, and now if they are going to ship it all it will require all the ships that will be available in this harbor for months, whereas if it bad not been bought and stored here the ships would have carried it out in the natural circulation of commerce, as it were. “The same effect has been seen in years past along the railroad and along the Sac- ramento River — particularly along the river. B “Peugle were in the habit of storing grain along the railroads and the Sacramento River waiting for a market, but they found when the market came there were not boats enough to carry off the grain, and the dealers having boats engaged to carry so much wheat at certain times were able to make the farmers bid against each other for the sales of wheat. The price to the farmer would therefore go down. Of course the same effect would take place on account of the Fair wheat. “Experience has taught the farmers something and now they prefer to store at Pl;)_rt Costa or at some place alongside the shipping. ““In regard to whether the wheat that is infested with weevil is worth shipping I would say that that will have to stand on its own gnsis in a foreign market. With the present price of pork and wheat, it will pay to feed a tolerably good article of wheat to hogs, but certainly no’ weevilly wheat should be shipped. It would pay much better to feed it to the hogs. If they would do this, the more Fair wheat there isstainbed by weevil the better for the tate. ‘‘Any one can see that this method of disposing of the grain would be of benefit to the people who own it as well as to the people of California. class there is little chance of selling it in Liverpool or elsewhere for more than the freights; but by turning it into‘rork there is a sure profit. If it could be disposed of in this way the demand for ships would be lessened and the farmers who have new wheat could get itto market for a lower rate than is bound to rule so long as the | Fair wheat is held in the warehouses or is bidding for ships.” ESTATE OF C.
