THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19, 1895. INQUIRY AT VACAVILLE e A Memorial to Congress to Be Based on the Evidence. COOLIES ON, THE STAND, Strong Proof of Perjury Se- cured Against Contractor Nichiuchi. RACED WITH THE JAPANESE. Members of the Commission Frus- trate an Attempt to Warn Those Implicated. VACAVILLE, Car., June 18.— Labor toner Fitzgerald, Immigration ioner Stradley and Deputies Dam, Geffeney and Greene concluded their la- bors here to-day and the investigation of the cooly labor question, begun in Pleas- anton and resumed in San Francisco, was practically concluded in Vacaville. The objects of the Cobunissioners in this in- quiry have been attained and they have gathered enough statistics to warrant pre- senting to Congress a memorial showing the dangers of the unrestricted Japanese immigration. They have also proof that Japanese contractors are constantly send- ing to Japan and Victoria for coolies to 7 Lireege B. Nichiuchi, the Japanese Contractor. work in the orchards, vineyards and hop- yards of California. The character of this proof is not strong enough from a legal standpoint, however, to warrant them in putting the Govern- ment to the expense of trying the culprits in the courts. It is very likely, though, that an arrest or two may yet be made and certain evidence was obtained in San Francisco and here that will probably re- sult in the deportation of two or more Japs held on the steamer Mexico and the arrest of the fellow who brought them from Victoria. The contractor is now in hiding, having been warned in time to escape. The Commissioners found the line dis- tinetly drawn in this section on the cooly labor question, and the large orchardists, while claiming to be in favor of white labor, are in fact more favoraply disposed toward Japanese and Chinese. Their rea- sons were given in the reports of their testimony in the CALL of to-day. They said they have found coolies more reliable and steadier workers than tne white men. The latter were too prone to get drunk and not work when they have a few dol- lars. The other class, the town people and small farmers, who have time to spare to “work out,”” are emphatically opposed to | cooly laborers, and they did not hesitate not been well coached as to what he should tell if called by the Commissioners. Itis learned that those who know more of the contract business than Me majority have taken to the brush, where they will ¥fémain until the investigation here is over. The warning of the Japanese coolies be- gan last week, when one or two Japanese boarding-house keepers in San Francisco came to Vavaville and told the local con- | tractors to be careful what they said if the | Commissioners came this way. An interesting incident showing their watchfulness occurred yesterday. In the afternoon the town Japanese in some way learned that Inspector Geffeney was going to summon Nichiuchi, who brought twenty coolies from Japan to the Vaca Valley orchards a month ago. This fel- low works on Henry Brink’s ranch, seven miles from town. Takatsuka, a recent arrival cn the steamer Belgic, Mendi, the Japanese hotelkeeper, and Tamaka, a contractor in the Sacramento Valley, immediately gotteams and hastened up the valley by different roads to warn | Nichiuchi. It was a lively race, but In- spector Geffeney, who was accompanied by John Gedge, got to the ranch first. The foreman of the place stated that the man who was wanted had gone to Sacra- mento. Geffeney stated that if Nichiuchi was not produced he would take the whole Japanese crew to town to_testify. Ina few minutes the fellow was found in an orchard. He was hardly seated in the carriage before the town Japanese in carts dashed up. All the interest in to-day’s proceedings centered around this contractor, Nichi- uchi. To prevent the contractor from escaping during the night he was locked up in a room in the Vaca Valley Hotel. On the stand Nichiuchi denied that he | had brought coolies from Japan under { contract on his recent trip, but he con- | tradicted himself in a pitiful manner, for | be realized as well as the Commissioners that he was keeping as far away from the truth as he possibly could. In order to prove the falsity of Nichi- uchi's story the Commissioners called in K. Mendi, the boarding-house keeper in this place, where Nichiuchi stayed when | he returned from Japan. Mendi said that Nichiuchi brought eleven Japs to his house. Fifty Japanese arrived on the day that Vichiuchi came in. On the following day Nichiuchi went to Wintersand found work for three of the men. Eventually he worked off all the others. T. Nichida, the boss on Brink’s ranch where Nichiuchi works, testified that he had known the other Jap since the lattér's childhood instead of only two years as the contractor had testified. For half an hour Nichida sat and proved the friend of his youth to be a perjurer, while the perspira- tion poured in streams down the culprit’s face as Nichiuchi sat near by and heard all the boss’ testimony. Several times he tried to say something to the witness, but was prevented by Inspector Geffeney. The Commissioners and their deputies held along debate as to wha done with Nichiuchi. Comm: gerald said that the case had reached that stage when it was out of the control of a State officer, except on the char®: of per- | jury. Immigration Commissioner Strad- ley defined his positjon by saying that, | while he was certain that the Japanese had been guilty of bringing coolies to this State from Japan, it would be a very diffi- | cult thing to prove and he would not like to go before the courts with a case that was so faulty as to actual proofs. The de- cision was that it is better to let the matter stand for atime and not run the risk of making an arrest that was not sure to be followed by a conviction. Several other Japs were examined in generalities, but as usual, each denied any ! knowledge of law-breaking. Then the Commissioners adjoutned and returned to the bay. ARRESTED AT PORTLAND. A4 Clackamas County Judge With Ewxtortion. PORTLAND, Or., June 18.-G. E. Hayes, County Judge of Clackamas County and a prominent politician, was arrested by the | Sheriff of Multnomah County to-night on a charge of extortion and intimidation, having been indicted by the Grand Jury of | Multnomah County. About a year ago Mrs. Jennie E. Melcher | lost her house by fire at Stafford. On the : building there was an insurance of $1000in | the State Insurance Company of Salem, Or. TItis alleged that Hayes intimidated Charged J. R. COLLINS. SEVERAL VACA VALLEY MEN WHO FIGURED IN THE INVESTI- GATION, JOSEPH BASSFORD. JOHN GEDGE. to tell the Commissioners their opinions. More than that they gave the investigators all the information they possessed, and even assisted in hunting up witnesses to testify. Among the latter was John Gedge the carrisge painter who spent all of two days in helping Inspector Geffeney find Japan- ese who are at work on the froit ranches in the Vaca Valley. “‘Go on with your good work and the majority of the people are with you,” said Mr. Chittenden, the storekeeper to Com- missioner Fitzgerald. Similar expressions are being voiced on every side. The Japanese in this vailey are almost beside themselves with fear and anxiety, and they apprehend that the investigation will result in their being deported; or, what would be almost as bad, a repetition of -their experiences when the industrial army visited this valley a year orsoago. On that occasion the coolies’ houses were burned by the unemployed, and they were violently driven from the farms and orch- ards. They fear deportation more than any violence that might arise from an anti-cooly agitation. The first would send them back to their old life and habits in the Mikado’s realm, but in the case of a ‘local trouble they would be able to go to work again as soon as the tronble would be over. In order to checkmate the investigators the Japanese worked hard all of last night. Dogcarts and buggies were hired in this town as soon as it was dark, and the Jap- anese Paul Reveres hastened up and down ‘the valley warning their countrymen of their danger. About daylight these mes- sengers came straggling back to town,dusty . and weary, but out of the 800 Japanese in the Vaca Valley there is not one that had | ] Mrs. Melcher and extorted from her a release of the insurance policy. Tol Thompson, the adjuster for the insurance company, is a co-defendant. NORDHOFF COLLEGE BLAZE Total Destruction of the Ojai Schonl With All Its ’ Contents. Inmates Forced to Fly for Thelr Lives, Abandoning All Their Possessions. NORDHOFF, CiL., June 18.—The in- mates of Ojai College, situated a few miles above Nordhoff, were awakened at1o’clock this morning to find the building in flames. The fire had progressed so far that efforts to save building or contents were futile, and the occupants could only escape with their lives, abandoning all possessions. The building and all contents, including & val- uable library belonging to Proiessor Thacher, furniture, school apparatus, many articles belonging to the students and a fine piano, the latter the property of J. C. Hassinger of Santa Barbara, were consumed. This admirable school for boys was lo- cated upon a fertile orchard farm on one of the upper steppes of the Ojai. It was conducted by Professor Thacher, a Yale man of high standing in literary and edu- cational circles, and enjoyed the patrenage of ‘a refined and cultured class who eagerly l sought its advantages for their boys.

One of the witnesses was Officer Dower of San Francisco, who testified that S8andt was arrested by him a few days after. the ‘Weber murders for drunkenness, and that ; I.” / N \’Jg CAPTAIN F., L. CARRINGTON. [From a photograph.] E. Fisher, Lieutenant-Colonel J. ¥. Bur-| gin and Lieutenant-Colonel J. S. Young | constituted the Governor’s staff. Major- General Dimond was accompanied by Major George Pippy, Colonel M. H. Hecht, Colonel T. C. Cluff, Colonel J. R. Laine | and Colonel J. C. Currier as bis staff. [ The officers speak in praiseworthy terms | of Camp Foster and its occupants. The athematical precision with which the camp is laid out, the picturesque appear- ance of the site, its adaptability for a mili- tary camp, the neatness and order ap- parent everywhere and the soldierly bearing of the men, all came under their observation and received complimentary mention. One of the features to-day was the skirmish drill, in which the silhouette targets figured as the enemy attacked. Four companies of the First Battalion. under Major W. D. Waters, participated. | The firing was done at unknown dis- tances, The targets represented men in the position of firing on the knee and re- cumbent. The points are scored as 5 for recumbent position, 4 for kneeling and 3 for standing. Battery G, Captain O'Neil, scored 47 (twenty-one men); Battery H, Captain R. Brower, 84 (twenty-four men); Battery E, Captain Cunningham, 73 (twenty-six men); Battery B, Captain Easterby, 48 | (thirteen men). A The firing was done under the direction | of Lieutenant Fred Kuhls, rifle inspector. This is the first time this kind of firing has been done by this regiment. To- | morrow the same drill will be had by the | Second Battalion. Thirteen guns were | fired on the arrival of Major-General Di- | mond, the adjutant-general and the staff | officers. There was dress parade and a marching review. The review was ten- dered to General A. W. Barrett. Captain F. W. Carrington was the official inspector. He isappointed by the Secre- tary of War for that purpose, is official in- spector for the Governor and is attached to ] the Governor’s staff. Captain Carrington’s company is Stationed at San Diego. Railroad Commissioners La Rue, Stan- ton and Clark, who are here officially, were guests of Colonel McDonald in camp and | were present during the afternoon.

Work on the Structure to Be Completed Within the Month. GUADALUPE, Can., June 18, — The Southern Pacific’s big steel bridge is now nearly completed. Workmen are on the sixth span, leaving but one more to finish up. It is one of the most substantial | structures on the coast division. When the work was first commenced the most sanguine placed the date of its completion at about August 15, but Engineer Marsh alter he was released Mrs. Weber’s watch was found badly crushed in the cell he oc- cupied. A bloody coat left by one of the fiends in Weber’s yard was identified by Ellis Harlow as one cast off by him, and as re- sembling one he had seen Sandt wearing just before the murder. A young man named Black testified that Saudt and one of the Sprout brothers were together here at that time, and that Sandt tried to bor- row some pistol cartridges from him., THE SANTA CRUZ MURDER Joe Rodriguez Arrested for the Killing of William Benson. Statements of Eyewitnesses Place the Spanish Ex-Convict in a Bad Light. SANTA CRUZ, CAv., June 18.—Joe Rod- riguez, a Spaniard who was engaged in the fight in which William Benson was killed, was arrested last evening by Sheriff Besse and Chief of Police Rawle and lodged in the County Jail. Rodriguezis commoniy known as “‘Black Joe”’ and was released from Folsom but a few months ago, hav- ing served a year's sentence for assault with a deadly weapon. Since his release he has also served a term in the County Jail. His two companions, John and Pete Sawyer, were arrested this morning at 7 o'clock at their home on Santa Cruz street in North Santa Cruz. The three were locket in separate cells, so they were un- able to communicate with each other. This morning statements made by each were taken down in shorthand by the court reporter, and they substantially agree. According to their account, the Benson brothers and their friend were on their way home from town about 1 o’clock Sunday morning. One of them was play- ing a horn and another an harmonica. Pre- ceding them were the three Spaniards, and when they met Rodriguez passed a re- mark in Spanish about the horn, which Benson attempted to repeat, without much success. Rodriguez then applied an epi- thet to Benson,and when the latter re- torted in kind ran up and strack Benson in the back of the neck and kicked him. They were soon engaged in a rough-and- tumble. The men on the sidewalk spoke of seperating the combatants, but Benson would not let go, as he was afraid of treachery on the part of Rodriguez. Finally Rodriguez released his hold and Benson immediately did the same, but no sooner had he done so than Rodriguez knocked him down. His head struck the ground fracturing his skull. Benson never regained consciousness after the fall. Rodriguez appears to have been the ag- gressor in the whole affair. His state- ment was made in a bravado fashion, be not being aware that Benson was dead. He claimed that Benson commenced the fight, and that he did not kick him. The inquest will be held to-morrow afternoon. Lt Held for Burglary. SAN JOSE, CaL., June 18,—Lee Fee, the Chinaman who was arrested here two weeks ago for robbing the Chinese house on the Hopkins place near Menlo Park, had his examination in the Justices’ Court at Redwood City to-day and washeld to answer in the Superior Court. Loss of a Mendoctno Cownty Resort. UKIAH, CaL, June 18.—Word reached here that T. J. Gillespie's resort, River- side, on the Eel River five miles from Pot- ter Valley, was burned to the ground early yesterday morning. The fire is supposed to have been of incendiary origin. ” DEPEW ON LEARNING, New York’s Orator Talks at the Memphis Tab- ernacle. LESSONS IN PATRIOTISM. A Republic Has lts Best Sup- portand Hope in the Colleges. COMPLIMENTS POR THE SOUTH. | 1 Never Does the Great Post-Prandial Speaker Overlook a Tell- ing Point. NASHVILLE, Tess., June 18.— The event of Vanderbilt commencement was the address of Chauncey M. Depew at the Tabernacle to-night, delivered before an immense audience. The address was to have been delivered at the Vendome The- ater, the largest in the city, but its capac- ity was not equal to the demand for seats and the Tabernacle was selected. On the platiorm were assembied the university faculty and prominent citizens, and the audience was a magnificent one. Upon being introduced Mr. Depew was re- ceived with great applause and during his address was freely and spontaneously greeted with cheers. He said in part: Ladies and Gentlemen: The nearest approach to the complete realization of ideal pleasure comes with commencement day for the college man. To the alumni, coming back from the cares and duties of their distant homes, it re- calls the best days of their lives. For the grad- uate it is the supreme momentof his existence. We, the veterans from American universities, cordialiy and enthusiastically welcome these young knights to the order of higher educa- tion. Patriotism in a republic has its best sup- port and strongest hope in the colleges—wher- ever else liberty has been crushed by the pow- ers of tyranny, superstition and bigotry, they have never been able to extinguish its light in the halls of learning. The finest example of the patriotic power of higher education is the German Empire of to- day, which is the outgrowth of the founding of the University of Berlin. Harvard and Yale, Prineeton, Columbia and William and Mary, institutions of learning, were the architects of the declaration of independence. No one can measure what might have been the effect in 1860 of a university fiity years old at Washington, like that of Berlin with its thousands of students and national inspiration. The people had to become acquainted with each other. The Union and Confederate veterans shot sectionalism to pieces with their cannon and their rifles. When they were convinced of each other’s equal worth and valor they could clasp hands over the graves of their comrades in the utterance of & common oath of loyalty to the flag which was the common protector and common glory of them all. The student must remember that every period has its prob- lems to be solved. Anarchy, socialism, taxa- tion, currency and the relation of labor and capital are questions as different and requiring as much patrictic consideration of the college men of the country as any which have agitated the nation since the formation of the Govern- ment. Aman can serve his country more ef- fectively in preaching and promoting the building of good roads than in spending his time in spouting currency fallacies. If the educated men of the country would perform their duties in the primary school of the caucus, we would never experience that @espotism of a machine which piunders im- partially partisans ands antagonists. The great opportunities of our country are in the South. The flood of immigration for fify years has sought the West, Northwest and Pacific Coast. In theSouth we find, as nowhere else, the original stock which fought at Cowpens, King's Mountain and Yorktown. The intelli- gent patriotism of the Southern people in the 1ast quarter of a century has overcome difficul- ties which seemed insurmountable. The young men of the South have no call to tempt for- tune in the crowded cities of the North and East. At their own doors and within their own States are their missions and theircareess. Be not deceived by the glitter of wealth as the sole measure of suceess inlife. The mo- mentthat in your chosen vocation you are sure of an income beyond the requiremements of & modest living, you are a success. All the rest is accumulative. GILROY, Cax., June 18.—The Southern Pacific section-house at Sargents station, seven miles south of Gilroy, was entered by sneakthieves yesterday afternoon, while the men were at work, and three suits of clothes, an overcoat, a pistol, and $30 in coin were stolen. It is supposed four men were implicated in the theft, as at noontime a suspicious - looking quartet asked for dinner at the house, and waited there until the employes had returned to work. The officers have no other clew, and it is probable the thiéves boarded the 3:30 train for San Francisco. EedagrT Hotel Men Entertained. SANTA BARBARA, CAL., June 18.—The town is filled with Southern California hotel men, who have deferred the opening of their convention until to-morrow. To- night they were formally received by the Board of Trade in the Arlington Hotel parlors, the welcoming address being de- iivered by E. B. McDuffie. Afterward there was a dance, participated in by Santa Barbara’s ‘society belles, - followed by a supper. OF INTEREST TO THE COAST. Governor Hughes of Arizona May Soom Be Retired. ‘WASHINGTON, D.C., June 18.—As predicted in the CALL there appears to be no doubt whatever that. Governor Hughes of Arizona will either be dismissed- from his position or allowed to tender his resig- nation. Inspector Olive of Secretary Smith’s staff, who was sent to Arizona to investigate many charges against the Governor, has filed his report with the Secretary. The report, it is understood, is decidedly against the Govermor. Mr. Olive is now in Wisconsin on official business. When he returns the Secretary wiill go over the report with him and render his decision in the matter. Governor Hughes is in the city, but not at the direction of Becretary Smith. The Secretary did not order him to Wash- ington. If the Governor has left his reser- vation without first obtaining a leave of absence from his superior officer, the Sec- retary of the Interior, he bas violated an expressed rule of the departmentand is lia- ble to censure for his conduct. There are a number of candidates who are anxious to succeed Governor Hughes. Ex-Governor Zulick’s friends are puttingupa fight for him. They are, however, proceeding in a very unwise way if they expect their favor- ite to win. They are giving out a story to the effect {that Secretary Smith is fairly begging the ex-Governor to take the office. Governor Zulick’s overzealons friends may, by their indiscretion, injure his chances to succeed Hughes. Among the California arrivals to-day are: P. G. Ives, Los Angeles; Henry D. Somes, San Francisco. Patents were issued to-day as follows: California—James Arnot Jr., Campton- ville (assignor), to R. Hoe and others, New York City, machine for wrapping newspapers; Charles M.

A INDUAN'S MISTAKE Taken by a Sheriff to a Base- ball Game of the Pale- faces. Thinking the Crowd a Mad Mob He Runs for Liberty and Is Shot. WICHITA, Kaxs., June 18.—A special from El Reno to the Eagle says the shoot- ing of Red Lodge, the Indian who bad been arrested for assaulting an old woman at Arapahoe last Saturday, promises to be- come a very serious matter, and may end in an outbreak against the white settlers at any moment. A mu‘ual hatred exists among the Indi- ans and whites, and the greatest caution is required to prevent an armed collision. Captain Woodson, the Indian agent, teles graphed the Eagle to-night inquiring con- cerning the accuracy of the reports that the shooting took place and that it was wanton and evidently prearranged. The Sheriff of G County, who had the In- dian under arrest, it is charged, took the Indian to a baseball game, and upon ar- riving there the Indian took the assembled crowd for a mob and made a break to get away, when the Sheriff shot him through the bowels. Captain Woodson says that Captain Mackey’s troop of cavalry is on the scene, and that he has sent a detachment of In- dian police to mingle with the Indians and keep them quiet. ““It is proper-to add,” he says, ‘“‘that I think Red Lodge was entirely innocent of the outrage on the old lady, and that sev- eral white people volunteered to testify in his favor at a preliminary trial.” A dispatch from Arapahoe also states that the Indians are very excited, and that a general collision is feared. e e ZLaidlaw Gets Damages. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 18.—The jury in the Laidlaw-Sage case returned to the courtroom at4:11 o’clock with a verdict in favor of the plaintiff. They award Laidlaw $40,000 damages. A stay was granted until September. This was the fourth trial of the suit of Laidlaw against Sage for $50,000 damages, for injuries re- ceived by being used as a shield for Sage when Norcross exploded a bomb in the millionaire’s office. o TRACING PENZ'S MURDERERS. Discovery of the Kurds Who Planned the Crime. ST. LOUIS, Mo., June 18.—A letter from Erzeroum, Turkey in Asia, has been re- ceived by Homer A. Canfield from his partner, William Sachtleben, the St. Louis wheelman who left here four months ago for Asia Minor to locate and bring to jus- tice, if possible, the murderers of Frank Lenz, the Pittsburg cyclist who lost his life there. Sachtleben writes that he has discovered the identity of the Kurdish chief who planned the killing and the five men who helped him commit the deed. The writer states that he arrived at Erzeroum about May 17, and adds: *‘Out of quite a num- ber of correspondents who came to Con- stantinople in an endeavor to reach Erze- roum, if not Bitlis and Moosh, near the Sassoun district, where the horrible atro- cities have taken piace, only three have succeeded in reaching this city, so strict is the watch kept by the Turkish Govern- ment.” —_——— On the Dwamond.
