COUNTER CHARGES MADE Allege a Conspiracy on the Part of Senator Androus and Others. TEXT OF THE AFFIDAVITS. Rival Factions Accuse Each Other of Attempting to Defraud the State. SACRAMENTO, Cam, Nov. 16.—J. C. ton, George Hurd, M. G. Stephens, W. Wiley and R. R. Brown, director of the District icultural Association, s Sixth £ 1 an answer to the char inst them by Lewis Thorne, the they are | in n which ch d, were y of the board, ¢laim the sums of money w illeged to have misappropria reality T ed for personal services ren- dered in tending gates and grand stands during the fa: ctions had | met with the ation of: the H.

They ng the Salisbury exhibi- es, they performed as directors and extraordinary servi For these “services they voted themseives $10 compensation, and if the books and accounts were not kept as they should have been with reference to this transac- tion it-was the fault of the secret: In accordance with a resolution passed by the board of directors, the following allowances were made for work and labor actually performed: J. C. Newton, George Hurd, D. C. Stevens, W. H. Wiley, R. R. Brown and C. T. Wright, eight days each, $30; A. W. Barrett, four days, $40. Direc- tor Androus being absent and performing | no labor, received no compensation. | The directors allege that no sums of maney received for these services were from funds appropriated by this State, but were from funds accumulated by the suc- cessful management of the trust estate conveyed to them by deed, and that their action was in perfect good faith and with the honest belief that they were legally entitled to the money value of their work. In addition to the answer the attorneys for the board of directors have filed a of sensational counter-charges. ate that when Agricultural District .6 was formed fifteen years ago they received a perpetual trust deed to a piece of property, the stipulation in the deed being that the property was to be used for the purpose of agriculture and . stock dis= plays. At the time the deed was given the property conveyed was worth about $15,000. Since that time it has greatly increased in value and is now worth $175,000. This property since the time it was conveyed has been under the direction of tne State and the members of the board of directors have been appointed by the Governor. Some time prior to Janu 1895, they claim, a conspiracy was entered into between E. T. Wright, J. C. Lynch, Lewis Thorne, W. C. Pendleton, 8. N. Androus and other persons unknown to these di- rectors, with the intention of diverting the title and possession of these grounds from the trustees and approoriating the income to private use; that for this purpose the said parties and their agents had procured er attempted to procure a majority of the certificates of stock, which they obtained at the nominal vaiue of $100 per share, and that they had conspired togettier to pro- cure the passage of a bill through the last Legislature which provided that all hold- ers of original membership certificates in district agricultural societies be empow- ered toform a §tock company, with the right to elect a board of directors and all other rights and privileges which are en- joved by corporations. The present board of directors claims that this bill was railroaded through the Legislature, and that its purpose was to get possession of the property for private gain. In -support of this, the directors set forth a number of aflidavits, the most important - of which is that of Director Stepnens, which is as follows: D. G. Stepliens, being first duly sworn, de- poses and says that on or about the 1st day of April, 1895, this afliant, being at the time one of the directors of District Agricultural Asso- ciation No. 6, in & conversation held in the city of Los Angeles” with John C. Lynch of San Bernardino -County, effiant - demanded to . kmow the -reason why .he, tlie said . Lynch, introducéd and advocated the passage of the act of the Legislature now deseribed as chapter V111 of the general laws of the State of California passed mt the thirty- first session of the Legislature of the State ot California, 1895, and he, the said Lynchb, re- plied, “T'saw a chance to make tl or forty thousand dollers and I did not propose to let the opportunity slip.” The other aftidavits are as follows: W, H. Willey, being first duly sworn, deposes and says that prior to the introduction ot the resolution allowing the directors of the Sixth District Agricultural Association 5 per diem for certain services as set forth in the minutes of said association, he consulted Governor H: H. Markham as to the propriety of said directors voting themselves and receiv- 1ng reasonable compensation for their actual services,-and after the said resolution was passed, affiant notified Governor Markham of said action, -and the same was approved by him. Thaton the 13th ddy of October, 189: ina conversation between affiant and Lewis Thorn, the said Thorn proposed to afliant that “if the present board of directors (meaning Dis- trict Agricultural Association No. 6) will re- sign and allow the Governor to appoint othier dirctors, I will withdraw the charges filed against the directors and that will end the matter,” J. C-Newton, being first duly sworn, deposes and says that some time in the month of February, 1895, the (following conversation occurred between affiant and Lewis Thorne in the city of Los Angeles: Said Thorn to af- fiant: “ ‘You got a share of stock ? I replied: ‘I have never owned & share of stock.’ Then Thorn said: ‘If you do not get a share of stock we will see that you have & share. We want you Zor president of the new organizatfon.” I * peplied: ‘How can you say who will be presi- a secret dent of the new organization?’ He (Thorne) rephed: ‘We have 8 maj y of the stock.” * RIVERSIDE CRACKSMEN. Burglars Blow Off ‘the Outer Door of the Sante Fe Strong Box, but Secure No Cash. RIVERSIDE, Carn, Nov. 16.—A #bold burglary was attémpted in this eity at an early hour tlis morning, when thieves broke into the office of the Santa Fe Rai road Company’s freighthouse and blew open the office safe. ‘The burglars forced open one of the doors of the freighthouse and thus gained rance -to the office. The safe, a heavy oue, was pushed out into the cénter of "the office, the better to operate upon it. % The burglars drilled a bali-inch hole in the top of the safe, through which was put suflicient powder to blow the outside door off. The inner door remained intact, however, and the burglars, unable to open i, did not reach the-money-drawers. The safe, which ¢ontained only a few doblars, was not grestly injured. The officers have a clew and the burglars are ikely 10 be apprehended. REBUKED BY THE COURT, Attorneys in the Ivan Kovalev Trial Engage in a War of Words. Ordered by the Judge to Sit Down and Their Language Stricken From the Record. SACRAMENTO, Cat., Nov. 16.—District - Ryan and” Major Anderson, n Ko ney, furnished the excitement 1 of the exile to-day. They indulged in a heated debate, inter- spersed with personalities, and both were given a squelching by the court. Witness Levin was called by the prose- cition, and stated that he was present in the County Jail when Ivan Kovalev made a statement. Kovalev's attorneys objected on the gronnd that it was not voluntary. Major Anderson grew quite eloquent in argiing his point, and °claimed that it could not in. the nature of things be trne that the prisoner would make a voluntary statement to the very men who were swearing his life away on the witness-stand. The major also re- ferred to the mental candition of the pris- oner as being not of the best, and ‘this re- on his part aroused the ire of the Attorney, who sprang to his feet and said: “I want vour Homner and this jury to understand that the sanity of this man has already been determined by a jury, and I object to his bringing it into the case.” ce that down!” cried Major Ander- son. “Iwant the remarks of the District Attorney taken down. At t! point Judge Johnson took a hand.- He ordered both the attorneys, who were upon their feet, to be seated, and turning to the conrt reporter ordered him to strike out all that the District Attorney had -said about the former trial of the prisoner and insanity. Thisdid not-snit Major Anderson. He said that the matter -had' gone before the jury and that the damage was done. Both attorneys again arose and made remarksto each other, to which each took exception, and Judge Johnson was compelled to again order them to take their seats and remain there. The Judge overruled the objection to the admission of the confession made by Ko- valey in the County Jail, and Witness Devin stated that on-the 29th 6f October Kovalev seemed to be very much excited about something. He told Jailer Beckley he had something to reveal, and Beckley, ovaley, the witness and Deputy Sheriff Reese went into the Sherift’s office to- gether. Here Kovalev began to talk in Russian, and the witness wrote it down. The state- ment was very long, and iold about his going from Stockton to San Francisco, and where he had been. Mr. Beckley told him to hurry upand come to the point, and told the witness to ask Kovalev if he killed the Webers. Levin did so and Ko- valevanswered: “T was there and saw tliem killed.” P. R. Beckley, the day jailer at the County fied substantially as did Levin relation to the confession which Kovalev had made to him. He stated that Kovalev understood a little English — enough to know what was meant when he was spoken to. Clothier Solomon Nathan was the only other important witness of the d identified the trousers worn by K 3 when arrested as a pair he had sold to the murdered man. RACKLIFFE 1S IMPROVING The State Treasurer Still Feeble, Though the Fever Has Left Him. Unhealthfulness of the Capitol Given as One Cause of His Long Illness. SACRAMENTO, Car., Nov. 16.—State Treasurer Levi Rackliffe, who has been ill for three weeks with typhoid fever, is re- ported to be better. The fever has left him, but he is still in an enfeebled state, and requires constant watching. Five years ago Mr. Rackliffé suffered an attack of la grippe at his home in San Luis Obispo, and his system was rendered peculiarly susceptible to disease—that be- ing the effect usually produced by the grip on the victims who do not entireiy sucenmb to it. To make matiers worse, Mr. Rackliffe had a second attack of the grip last December, before coming to Sac- ramento. The illness of Mr. Rackliffe, whose office is on the lower floor, has confirmed the doubts of not a few of the inmates as to the unhealthfulness of ‘that portion of the Capitol. It. was because of .a preju- dice on this point, as published in Tue Carn, that Secretary of State Brown moved his offices upstairs, aban- doning rooms on the lower floor which had been used by his predecessors since the Capitol was erected. One of the Treas- urer’s deputies, in speaking of Mr. Rack- liffe’s illness, said to-day: “This is a magnificent building, viewed from the outside, but it was built at a time when sanitary plumbing was in its infancy, and it needs a thorough going over inside. We are close to the cellar here, and there are musty odors brought up from there into our offices. “The elevator shaft is quite near us, and that also serves to draw up a bad atmos- phere from the cellar and scatterit in onr neighborhood. A complete system of ventilation is badly needed. When we open this front door in the morning after the office has been closed all night, the odor is very strong. I attribute Mr. Rackliffe’s illness in a great measure to this state of things and so does be. I un- derstand that there are one or two other cases of typhoid in the building. ‘‘It is strange that this huifiiiug is ne- glected, when the Legislatures appropriate so much for the- improvement of other State progerty. The Secretary of State is not to biame—he has not the money to make these needed changes.” SAN MIGUEL'S SHOCK, Alterations Made by the Upheaval Last March Investigated. CHANGE IN THE HARBOR. A High Clif Towers Over the Spot Where Once Was a Sandy Beach. CAPTAIN WESTDAHL'S THEORY. He Believes That a Portion of the Island Was Undermined by an Immense Spring. SANTA BARBARA, Cirn, Nov. 16.— Captain Westdahl of the Coast Survey re- turned to the mainland to-day from San Miguel Island, whither he was sent to make an examination of Cuylers Harbor and note the changes caused by the sub- terranean upheaval last March. The cap- tain is in & sense under sealed orders and the text of the report he will make to his chief cannot be given to the press mnor to the public, but through people with whom he has been associated on the island the result of his observations has been cor- rectly ascertained. A Carn correspondent went to San Miguel late in March to examine, while they were still fresh, the evidences of the violent subterranean action that occurred in Cuylers Harbor on or about March 9. At that time photographs were taken and careful measurements made, and this data has been placed at the disposal of the Coast Survey to not only aid in determin- ing the character of the great convulsion, but also to assist in settling another prob- lem even more complex—the lasting na- ture of the alterations of the harbor, and the progress the sea is making in reclaim- ing the sudden encroachment upon it. THE CaLL correspondent found that near the sou est curve of Cuylers Harbor the perfect crescentof the shore line was broken by a great bank of earth, sand ana rock 400 feet long and 300 feet wide in the center. Instead of the smooth, sandy beach, which formerly existed, there was at the base of this great newly formed bluff a rubble of bowlders and rocks, many of them weighing several tons. The outer- most point of the upheaval was marked by a triangular-shaped reef, which rose twenty-five feet above the water at high tide. In the face of the bluff was a ledge tof bluish cement rock some thirty feet high. In and upon all of these newly revealed rocks were putrefying oysters and other shell fish, showing that they had come from the Larbor’s bed. A hundred feet back from the water over the bluff was a drying salt pool, where a dozen or two of large surf fish were decaying. Thousands of tiny marine shells, with their half-de- cayed confents, were scattered over the top of this bluif, then sixty feet in height, and around the debris of the last tide. The boathouse, which formerly stood near the water’s edge and facing due east, was behind this biuff, with the ground on which it stood, and the fence of a little sheep corral near it had shifted about until it was four points of the compass from its original position. The hillside above was rent and fur- rowed as if by some plutonic force, and along the edge of the cliffs, 500 feet above, the entire hill had dropped away, leaving exposed a verpendicular face—a sheer fall of some seventy feet. TUpon the top of the newly formed bluff, near ‘the water, at the time when it was first found, a great rock of peculiar forma- | tion, weighing some six tons, was found, which had formerly stood on the beach, | bared only at low tide. At the time of the CAvrw correspondent’s inspection the tides had undermined the bluff, so that the rock had again fallen; but it lay above the tide, with dried sea- weeds clothing its face and dead marine life in its crevices. Captain Westdahl has examined all this region as carefully as his time and limited facilities would permit. He fully verifies all of the observations made by THE CaLn in March. Indeed, in conversing concern- ing these changes, he remarks that while at first sight the changesimpressed him as slight compared with the proportions of the harbor, their magnitude impressed him more and more as he paid closer attention to them. Winds have blown the sand bluff, water has undermined it and time has somewhat settled it, but it is still of colossal proportions and its original measurements are not far changed. Captain Westdahl ventures, however, a new and interesting theory as to the causes of the great upheaval. By refer- ence to the old coast survey map and the testimony of witnesses he finds that above and back of where the upheaval took place, on a bench on the hillside, Captain Nidevir’s old ranchhouse ana ranch build- ings stood. These were long since re- moved and the constant sbifting of the sands which composed so large a portion of the island’s territory has completely filled the bench and made it a part of the smoothly sloping hillside. Yet in this locality there was a flowing spring of water. This has been unseen for years, It was invisible last March, but to-day it is gushing out of the hiliside by the boat- house and has cut a channel through the upheaval itself. He reasons that this stream long buried, but constantly flow- ing, may have hollowed out a vast subterra- nean chamber and that last March the weight of the hillside, consisting of thon- sands of tons of earth and sand, fell upon the underlying stratification with such force that the sudden depression along the shore caused the harbor bed to tilt up. This is the exact reverse of the theory before advanced, but it is interesting and plausible. It has hitherto been assumed that the seismic shock which threw the harbor bed into the air created a vacuum which swept away the foundations from the hillside, so that they slipped down to fill the hole in the harbor. Should the report that on March 8 or 9 an earthquake shock was felt on the other chaunel 1slands be verified, this, together with the fact that Colima’s eruption occurred on the same date, woula break down Captain Westdahl's theory, which he merely advances as a guess and not at all as a scientific certainty. PLAINT OF 4 MONTICITO GIRL. Claims That Her Mother Attempted to Stab Her With a Dagger. _BANTA BARBARA, CarL., Nov. 16.—A 18] named Robles, from Monticito, was ‘| the property for the heirs, about 125 of to-day brought before Justice Crane, charged by her parents with theft. The girl, who is 17 years old, denies this charge, and claims in turn that she was cruelly maltreated by her parents, her father having beaten her over the head with a pistol, and her mother baving at- tempted to stab her with a dagger. She begs for protection from them and en- taeats the court not to compel her to re- turn home. The case will be 1nvestigated. — —— SUICIDE AT PORTLAND. Banker Humphrey of Fugene Takes a Dose of Morphiue. PORTLAND, Or., Nov. 16.—H. C. Hum- phrey, a Kugene (Or.) banker, aged 37, was found dead in bed at the St.Charles Hotel this evening. Humphrey came here from home yester- day with a party of friends, and last even- ing visited a prominent drughouse, where he bought an original package of morphine contaming sixty grains. He bore no evidence of ntoxication or despondency and alleged the opiate to be for one C. H. Murphy at Roseburg. He discussed the afternoon’s suicide of ‘‘Hal” Green, observing that it was silly for a man to take his own life, though at that | time he was premeditating self-murder himself. The morphine package, when found near his bedside, had been ‘Broken open, and a quarter of the contents was gone. TROUBLE AT STOCKTON Liquor-Dealers File a Sensational Complaint Against Mayor Baggs. Bitter Fight Made by the Saloonists to Defeat a Restricting Ordinance. STOCKTON, Car., Nov. 16.—Ex-Judge J. G. Swinnerton, on behalf of the liquor- dealers, to-day filed a sensational com- plaint in the Superior Court, in which it is charged that Mayor H. N. Baggs and other | city officials have entered into a conspiracy | to divert certain public moneys from the treasury for the purpose of using the funds | for purposes not authorized by law. This move is the outcome of the war be- | tween the non-partisan administration and | the liquor-dealers, and the trouble scems | to be growing more serious daily. It all came about through the passage by the Council of an ordinance closing side en- trances, prohibing the sale of liquors in grocery-stores and confining the saloons to a single district. The license was also raised and severe restrictions placed upon the liqur dealers. The dealers are contesting the ordinance bitterly, and many of the saloons are run- ning without licenses. It is the effort to | convict them that is making trouble. | The dealers employed the best legal tal- ent obtainable, and they have the admin- | istration at a disadvantage, as there are no city funds available with which to put up a good fight. In a recent brush the defense scored an impertant | point by the city Justice sustain- ing the contention that neither the Chief of Police, his officers nor local peace officers were qualified to summon jurors, inasmuch as they were interested in the enforcement of the law they were instru- | mental in creating. An elisor was agreed | upon, and it was estimated that his serv- ices might cost as much as $1800. He would not serve unless the Council would guarantee his fees. This the oppo- sition managed to defeat. Then the Mayor and his associates got| through the Council an ordinance creating a contingency fund for the Mayor’'s u Mr. Baggs announced that he would pay | the elisor out of this, and secure additional counsel. Now the liquor-dealers claim tbat every | ordinance should stand on its own botton:, and propose to go into the Superior Court | and try to cut off the Mayor's fighting | money. | The complaint innulges in some per- | sonalities and goes so far as to claim that | the Mayor is not in a financial position to make good any money he might use | through a misconception of his right to it. | s el b | DECIDE OR BURKE. The High School Principal to Draw B Sepiember Salary. SANTA ROSA, Carn., Nov. 16.—Judge Dougherty this afternoon filed his opinion in the mandamus proceedings brought by F. L. Burke, principal of the High School n Santa Rosa, against E. W. Davis, Super- intendent of Schools for Sonoma County. | The Superintendent is ordered to draw a requisition upon the County Auditor for Burke's September salary. The case was brought by Principal Burke to obtain from the courta writ of mandamus compelling Superintendent Davis to draw a warrant in his favor for $180, his salary for September last for | services rendered as principal and teacher. When the demand was made upon Super- intendent Davis he refused to comply, on the ground that Burke held his position unlawfully. The court held that the con- stitution of the Santa Rosa High School was valid and that Burke was entitled to his salary. HEIR T MANY MILLIONS, Trinity Church Property in New York to Be Shared by an Oregon Man. Descendants of General Montgomery Seek to Recover a Valuable Tract of Land. GASTON, Og., Nov. 16.—One of the heirs to the property on which Trinity Chureh, New York, now stands, and to the lands adjacent, is W. 8, Hudson of Forest Grove, Or. Mr. Hudson has news from Philip V. Fennelly, an attorney at Buffalo, N. Y., for the heirs, to the effect that there are forty or fifty acres of the land, and that it was leased to Trinity Church by General Montgomery, who was kifled at Quebac during the Revolution, for a period of ninety-nine years. That lease expired some years ago, and Trinity Churcn, the Borthwick family and several corporations are now occupying land to which they have no title. Lawyer Fennelly agrees to bear all the costs of procedure to recover whom have been discovered, for a con- tmzenc{. Mr. Hudson’s grandmother was a Mout- gomery, and he is one of the nearest heirs. The property is valued at from $100,000,000 to $300,000,000. The heirs, fiarfic“larly Mr. Hudson, are confident they will re- cover or effect a compromise, for there 1sno doubt the property is rightfully theirs, und the onl{ reason proceedings were not com- menced sooner was the difficulty in defi- nitely locating the property and lack of available funds to begin so important an action, SECEPOIY A New Whateom Failure. NEW WHATCOM, Wasu., Nov. 16.— Greenberg Brothers’ clothing house closed this afternoon on a writ of attachment of $12,500 in the name of Elias Greenberg of New York.

HIDING IN THE HILLS. The Hunted Outlaw Followed to the Fastnesses of Smith Mountain. HE WILL FIGHT FOR HIS LIFE. Constable Hubbert, Who Killed Bandit Renterias, Heads the Posse in the Chase. SAN DIEGO, Car., Nov. 16,—Francisco Olivares, the San Luis Rey desperado, has taken to the fastnesses of Smith Mountain, and two constables and a posse and two bloodhounds are on his trail. Olivares was once in the custody of officers and was | placed on trial for murder, but through slipshod methods he cscaped the meshes of the law and was turned loose to kill again. This he promptly tried to do. Olivares tried to kill an Indian named Ardillo at Vista Wednesday night. He vlaced a shotgun so close to Ardillo’s head | that pieces of his soft hat were blown into the scalp, and only the thickness of his | scull prevented the shot from penetrating the brain. Ardillo lives, but Olivares believes he is amurderer and is making for the hills, where another tragedy is likely occur when the officers overtake him. After shooting Ardillo Olivares pro- his way through 2 small knot of angry ranchers to 8an Luis Rey River, going thence up toward Smith Mountain, which is the wildest part of the county. He is believed to have been assisted by Indians living on the rancherias on the riyer. He has the advantage of the officers in knowing every foot of the coun- try, and being young and agile he is likely to make a better at- tempt to escape than did Renterias, the old outlaw who was cornered at Mesa Grande some weeks ago and killed, after shooting one of his pursuers. Constable Hubbert, who is pursuing young Olivares, is the man who laid Renterias low. The officers were on Olivares’ trail all day Thursday and yesterday, returning last night to Oceanside for fresh norses, and striking out this morning direct for Smith Mountain. They are likely to come upon the outlaw to-day, as bloodbounds are being used, while in the former case only the keen eyes of trailers were em- | ploved. Constable Hubbert said before | leaving that he would bring back Olivares | alive or dead. FOR KILLING GUS BOEHM, Preparations at San Bernardino for the Trial of Charles Button. Witnesses Were Drunk at the Time of the Tragedy and Have Poor Memories. SAN BERNARDINO, Car., Nov. 16.— The District Attorney and deputies are of Charles Button for murder, which comes up one month from to-day. On Friday County Surveyor Cook and party left for the scene of the tragedy for the purpose of getting the correct lay of the groundson which Gus Boehm lost his life on August 15, 1893. Sl The main contention by the prosecution was the relative positions of Button and Boehm at the time of the homicide, the direction from which the shot came and other such points that should go to the jury in a correct form, but which could not, as nearly all the witnesses were too drunk at the time to notice directions, distances or anything else. None of them agreed on the distance be- tween the respective objects that cut such a figure in’the case, such as the tree be- hind which*Button said Boehm was, and the rock on which Boehm lay. The kill- ing has lost none of its interest to the public. s HARLEM SPKINGS DEAL. The Motor Road Said to Have Also Been Included in the Purchase. SAN BERNARDINO, CaL., Nov. 16.—It is believed from present indications that F. Kohl of Centralia, Ill, has bought the Harlem motor road along with Harlem Springs. The springs are the most noted in Southern California, not excepting the famous Arrowhead Springs. They are situated about four miles northeast of San Bernardino, and are reached by the Har- lem motor road, which runs between San Bernardino and Highland. The springs were formerly owned by Seth Marshall, and during the past two weeks he has been bringing suits in the Superior Court to guiet title. The motor road was tied up a short while ago owing to the fact that it was mixed up.in the af- fairs of the defunct First National Bank of this city. ' But it is now admitted by Re- ceiver Broderick that it will be released just as soon as the papers arrive from omptroller Eckels at Washington, and that will be a matter of only a few days. The new owner intends to make exten- sive improvements. Already the archi- tects are at work.on plans submitted to them by Mr. Kohl. The first improvement will be the building of a big hotel and bathing apartments. Not more than twenty feet separates the hot and cold water, the former being two different de- grees of heat, one almost boiling the other medium, very comfortable for bathing without adding cold water. The moun- tains, which are not over four miles north of the springs, furnish sufficient water- power to run, not alone an extensive elec- {_nc-xighming vlant, but also an electric-car ine, 5 The Harlem Springs are much more conveniently located. than the celebrated Arrowhead Springs, as they are situated in the valley proper and surrounded by thou- sands of acres of orchards and grain fields, the railway line passing through some grand surroundings. 3 SEBEKN RELEASED, His Friends in San Bernardino Pay His Fine of $300.

His friends have raised the necessary funds. Since Sebern was arrested he has been offered a position as head clerk in the Grand Central Hotel, which place was held open for him during his five days’ imprisonment. From his wages he will deposit a certain amount each month toward paying his friends who helped him out. ————— MILL VALLEY'S RACE WAR. The Giving of Contracts to Foreigners Creates a Stir. MILL VALLEY, CaL., Nov. 16.—There is a race war in progress here that threatens to create considerable trouble. A number of people having homes on Corte Madera avenue raised enongh money by popular subscription to build a sidewalk on their thoroughfare, and work was commenced last week. A circular was issued asking for bids. A number of local contractors responded, and for a while each was under- cutting the bid of the other. $ The lowest bidder, John Buetti, a native of Sweden, named 5 cents a foot as his price, and_the contract was awarded to him. M. F. Machado. an Italian, secured the contract for hauling. ‘When Buetti commenced work he put Ttalians on the job, and this raised a great cry from a number of men who were out of positions. The stablemen have raised an- other protes® becanse an Italian was given the hauling. When the workmen ap- eared on the Scene to commence build- ing the sjdewalk the station agent of the North Pacific Coast Railroad refused to allow them to work on the prop- erty of the railroad, stating that he had received no orders from the company to aliow the men to tear up the road. Com- munications were sent to the president, who wired back to the agent to allow the work to proceed and not interfere. The men had hardly run the line 100 feet, when a native of Scotland appeared upon the scene and protested against the walk running in front of his place, on the ground that it would not allow the rain- water to flow off the street and puddles would be the result. Almost every foot of | the course has been contested, and the people here are anxiously awaiting the out- come of the troubl DEPORTED 1O VICTORIA, Chinese Sent From :the Sound District Get No Farther Than Canada. Arrested on Trumped-Up Charges and Released After the Vessels Depart. PORT TOWNSEND, Wasu., Nov. 16.— The fact has developed that the Chinese exclusion act as enforced in this district is a farce, for the reason that it is not ef- fective in any respect. According to the | arrangement that has been in force, all de- ported coolies in this district are sent home by the Northern Pacific steamers from Tacoma: The plan worked~to per- fection until recently a scheme was dis- covered to beat it. The vessels stop at Victoria, and upon arrival there a dummy charge is laid against the Chinamen. They are arrested, taken ashore and detained until after the vessels sail. Then the accusers refuse to prosecute, and there is nothing to do but to discharge the Mongols. They return surreptitiously to this side, taking chances only of having the farce repeated. .
