4 . THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, MAY 20, 1896. THE IMMIGRATION BILL DISCUSSED, Opposition Is Shown to the Proposed Consular In- spection. AN EDUCATIONAL TEST. It Is Claimed That Those Who Seek Admission Should Read and Write. COMPETITION OF CANADIANS. Many Laborers Cross the Border Daily and Return to Their Homes at Night. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 19.—The House to-day passed the resolution irom the Committee on Elections No. 1, con- firming the title of W. C. Owens (D.) to the seat he occupies asa Representative from the Seventh District of Kentucky, which has been contested by George Den- ney Jr. the same committee providing for a baliot- scale for Congress in the Sixteenth Illinois District at the Novembper election of 1894 in the contest of Rinaker vs. Downing for the seat from that district. The Immigration Committee early claimed the floor under the order adopted yesterday, and Bartholdt (R.) of Missouri, called up the McCall bill establishing an educational test for immigrants, so that in the future they must be able to read and write some language before they will be admitted. The bill applies only to male immigrants, and the parents of any person now residing in the United States or who may hereafter be admittad shall not be ex- cluded because of inability to read or write. Corliss (R.) of Michigan offered an amendment to the bill introduced intended to relieve the lake cities of the competition of Canadians who come into the United States to labor, and especially to prohibit the employment of Canadians on vessels | engaged on the lakes and on railroads run- | ning into the United States from Canada. Stone (R.) of Pennsylvania offered as a substitute for the first section of the Me- Call bill his bill which requires in addi- tion to the educational test a satisfactory consular inspection of the emigrantsat the port of departure, without which admis- sion to the United States shall be denied. Mahaney (R.) of New York offered as | an amendment to the proposed bill his bill relating to the same subject but more ex- plicit in its provisions. The Mahaney bill was held to be ob- noxious on a point of order and was with- drawn. Johnson (R.) of California proposed as an amendment to the substitute of Stone a bill forbidding the admission of any foreign-born laborer, skilled or unskilled, into the United States after August 1, 1896. This was also ruled out on a point of order. Bartholdt opened the debate in support of the bill called up by him. The asser- tion that immigrants did not assimilate with the people was not borne out by the facts. T.e educational force of the com- mon schoo! had largely settled that ques- tion. They were no longer Germans, Eng- lish, French or ltalians, but Americans. Had it not veen for the services ot foreign- born soldiers the result of the War of the Rebellion might have been different. Patriotism was not marked by a matter of tongue. Bartholdt warned his assodiates that they could face the country as defenders of an educational test, but not as advo- cates of a consular inspection measure. Tracewell (R.) of Indiana urged the passage of the Stone bill, He said he was not a member of the A. P. A., but was a protectionist from the crown of his head to the sole of his feet and he believed that all the measures reported from the com- mittee if passed would benefit the country. | Stone advocated the passage of his bill. He said the country was suffering from superfluous immigration. “Immigration to the United States from many countries now sending its citizens here in large numbers is a matter of recent years,” said Mr. Stone, “and we must put a stop to it if we expect the United States to become what we have wanted it to and believed it would be. The agitation upon this subject will not cease until we give to labor the protection to which it is entitled and which we have given to capital.” [Applause.] Corliss (R.) of Michigan said that 100,000 Canadian laborers—‘birds of passage’— came to the United States and entered into competition with the laborers of this coun- YOU NEVER KNOW The whole-sounl blissful happiness of life until after you have suffered and have been cured of nervousnes.

There was nothing in the amendment he had suggested which would I prevent any of them from acquiring & | home in the United States, but it was in- | tended to prevent them, until they felt so | 1nclined, from coming into competition with the laborers of the United States.

UKIAH, Car, May 19.—The session of the Supreme Circle, Companions of the Forest, is drawing to a close. of various committees were to-day re- ceived and adopted, as well as those of the board of auditors, the secretary and the treasurer. An amendment to the general laws, reducing the annual per capita tax from 70 to 50 cents was adopted, but one looking toward the holding of biennial | sessions was defeated. The date of the | next meeting was fixed at the third Mon- | day of May, 1897, and Vallejo was chosen | as the place. < A committee consisting of Mesdames K. | M. Flynn. A. M. Phiilips and J. Falconer was _appointed to draw_resolutions of thanks to Queen of the Redwood Circle | on the recepiion tendered the aelegates. | An appropriation was made for the pur- chase of a testimonial for the past su- preme chief com anion. The election of officers was made a special order of business for to-morrow morning. Thisevening the delegates were tendered a banquet at Marks Hall, to | which all visicing Foresters and Compan- | ions were invited. ROMANCE OF SANTA ROSH | Insane Patrick Moore Suing for | Money Deposited in a San [ Francisco Bank. | iPitifuI Sequel to a Warm Friendship Formei in an Asylum S in Ireland. SANTA ROSA, CAL, May 19.—An ac- tion of unusual interest was commenced her to-day in the Superior Court. It is alleged that, many years ago, Matthew Pepper and Patrick Moore were inmates of an insane asy!um in Ireland, and while there a strong friendship sprang | up between them. Both were release® in time and came to America together, pass- ing as brothers. For many years they lived together in Healdsburg, being em- pioyed on the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad and by industry snd economy saved several thousand dollars. This money was placed in the Hibernia Bank of San Francisco in Pepper’s name, | he by reason of a better education trans- | acting the business for both. About a year ago Moore was again de- clared insaneand sent to the Ukiah asylum and while there his old friend, Pepper, died intestate. Thedead man’s estate was taken in charge by the public administra- tor, who refused to turn over any part of it to the insane man’s representatives, and the action commenced to-day is for one- half of the money in bank. B SUITS AGAINST SANTA ROSA. Multiplicity of Actions Resulting From a Defective Sewer System. SANTA ROSA,CaL,, May 19.—Santa Rosa is still barassed by lawsuits and legal complications. Suit after suit has been commenced against the city for damages arising from the sewerage system. In some instances impartial jurors have awarded damages to the suffering farmers whose land adjoins the sewer farm, and this fact has led to a multiplicity of suits, Last week A. M. Peterson was the plaintiff in a damage suit against the city and was awarded §1, the costs being taxed equally, As a result of this suit Judge Daingerfield to-day granted an injunction restraining the city from running any sewage on Peterson’s land or from polluting Santa Rosa Creek. The suit of Allen Wright for damages by reason of the sewers was also com- menced to-day, and J. L. Peterson is the plaintiff in a suit of the same nature, which will come up for trial this week. This new and somewhat novel sewer system just completed was tested on Monday ‘in the presence of the -city officials and many interested spectators. The tests wer~ in_every way satisfactory, and it is believed t at the aggravating evils of a poor system and its resulting litigation will soon be done away with in this sorely tried community, fs el STONED BY FANATICS. Two English Missionaries Charged by a Chinese Mob—0One Shot Through the Hand. VICTORIA, B. C., May 19.—The steam- ship Altmore, arriving from the Orient to- night, brings advices of an anti-missionary | outrage at Tai-Chau, China. Two Eng- lish missionaries named Fergusson and Walker were the victims. Proceeding by boat from Shanghai to Chenklang they arrived at Tai-Chau on April 13. While awaiting the return of a messenger whom they had sent with their cards and pass- ports to the residence of the chief local official, t ey were attacked by a mob that bomba:ded them vigorously with stones, The two missionaries finding the situa- tion intolerable left the shelter of a cabin and attempted to pull up the anchor and shove their boat into the stream, their crew having fled beyond the range of the missiles. Duriug this operation the stone-throwing became more vigorous than ever, and a shot was fired, the- bullet passing through Mr. Fergusson’s left hand. At last the boat was got off, and, being rejoined by its crew, dropped down the stream. The boat became agun the target for a cloud o mis- siles as it passed a narrow part of the channel, but no serious injury was in- flicted. An officer and ten soldiets arrived upon the scene while the outrage was going on, but their presence had little, if any, effect in quieting the rioters. —_— SUICIDE IN WADSWORTH JAIL. An Indian Hangs Himself After Having Commiited Two Murders. RENO, NEv., May 19.—A double tragedy on the Pyramid. reservation last evening was followed by a suicide in the Wads- werth jail to-night. An Indian, becoming jealous of his s.zusw and another red skin, shot and killed both. He was arrested and lodged in jail. To-night the mur- iderer hanged bimself in his cell. He feared the vengeance of the other Indians, who would have killed him had he not been removed from the reservation, The reports 4 A SACRAMENTD TALE OF LOVE Chapter II in the Romance of Adelaide and Eugene. MRS. LEE TO GREGORY. Gentle Chidings for His Distant Demeanor and Lack of Gallantry. THE EX-MAYOR TO THE WIDOW Proud of the Tit'e “Guardy,” but Too Ciosely Watched to Be an Ardent Suitor. SACRAMENTO, CarL., May 19.—When the case of Mrs. Adelaide T. Lee of Red Bluff against ex-Mayor Eugene J. Gregory of this city, who is charged 'by the widow with having obtained $J000 by false pre- tenses on the eve of Gregory Bros. & Co.'s collapse, was resumed this morning. Attorney Bruner asked Mrs, Lee to pro- duce any letters contaming protestations of love from Gregory. Mrs. Lee stated she had many which she considered contained exoressions of iove, citing as such tne ““Come Gene” letter. The witness then became greatly agitated, and in a tragic voice, exclaimed : “‘Eugene understands that. He knows I have read between the lines. He was not the same after I had made the loan, but he said that doubt hurt more than anything, and I didn’t want to doubt him. I loved | thut man from the bottom of my hedrt. I couldn’t help that. He knew I loved him, for he asked me: ‘What do you mean by your letters?’ and I said, ‘I mean I iove, Eugene.’’ Mr. Bruner here objected to the witness endeavoring to create a scene by her im- pressive manner, “Iam nottrying to create a scene,”” con- tinued Mrs. Lee; “I always speak from my heart, and I did when I told him I loved him.” till you want to send him to prison?”’ “What has he done for me? He has kept me on the verge of insanity for months, and now I have been brought here to be smirched. Anythin: he can do to hurt me he will do. Read my letters; read them! He ‘told me they were to be strictly confidential, but that is like all of his promises.” Mrs. Lee's letters to Gregory were once more taken up. Most of them were dated after the last loan, and contained com- plaints of neglect by Gregory; such sen tences as: “Why will you not see me?” **Are you going to deny me for all eter- nity?” “Your ward has shed many t-ars over your seeming neglect.”” *“All those insinuations have their weight in your ward,” ete. ‘Several sentences upon which much stress was laid by the defense are as fol- lows: “From your letters I cannot inter- pret any personal regret for my hurt’; 1 have now nothing to show that 1 have ever even had the gilt-edge security of your frienaship”; -‘I feel I must see you, though it hurt me exceedingly that you left the Grand Hotel on my account’; “If you don't come to me in the city you will be the last straw to eling to”; “Itis hard that you even refuse to send me such a little token as a sheet of music. As you refused your photo long ago, did you really mean not to show me any atten- tion? If you persist that you cannot be more than a friend and if you have grown indifferent to me I want nothing more to do with your firm, and you can take your notes back.” The witness was excused shortly before noon and the County Clerk was put on the stand to prove that soon after the last loan made by Mrs. Lee Gregory Bros. filed a petition in insolvency. In the afternoon the letters of Gregory to Mrs. Lee were taken up. 1In one he re- ferred to his business and to her delight- ful letters, and said he was glad there was one congenial soul who longed for his re- turn to California. In another he spoke of something that was not founded on fact in a former letter from Mrs. Lee, and added: “While I love children, I prefer them grown up.”” This was underlined. In anotker he said: “Dear Ward—I propose some time to write you a letter. Will endeavor to deserye the appellation of ‘guardy’.” and added, “If you had three lovely sisters watching your going out, you would realize the position I am in.” Attorney Bruner asked if these were love letters, and Assistant District Attorney Jones retorted : “They don’t say ‘I love you! I love you! Ilove you! but they mean love just the same when written to a sensitive, refined lady.” In another letter Gregory said: ““I know what it is to have plenty and still be hard up.” *This bears me out in my theory that Mrs. Lee thought Gregory solvent,” said Attorney Jones. “I do not care to argue the case at this time,” rejoined the defendant’s attorney. ““We have lots of letters we can intro- duce,” said Mr. Jones. *‘Yes, we have five letters to your one,” retorted Bruner. ““You also have $9000 to our none,” sar- castically retorted Jones. In another letter Gregory said: “I am now under obligations to you. When I discharge such obligations, I can consult my personal interests.’” Then the attorneys had another mix-up, and the case was continued. —_—— “STRAW BONDSMEN"” IN TROUBLE, Cited for Having Sworn Falsely to the Value of Their Pcasessiona. SACRAMENTO, Cav.,, May 19.—Eugene Bosquet, who was convicted some time ago of having placed his wife in a disor- derly house, was released on $4000 “straw bonds” this evening, pending an appeal to the Supreme Court. The character of the mmJ', was discovered immediately after the vrisoner’s release and a bench warrant was issued, upon which Bosauet was rearrested and lodged in jail. The four bondsmen, who swore they were jointly worth $50,000, and who in fact are not on the tax roll, have beén cited to ap- pear in court to-morrow morning, to- rether with David Sunmons, a well-known business man, who vouched for them. The prospects are that severe punishment will be meted out to them. Winds Do Damage Near Sanger. FRESNO, Can., May 19.—High winds which have been prevailing during the past few days blew down about 425 vards of trestle on the flume which conveys lamber from Moore & Smitn’s mills in the mountains to the mills in Sanger. The trestle is fifty feet high. The floating of lumber will be interrupted for some time. MILL VALLEY COUNTRY CLUB. Arthur A. Martin Elected President of the Organization—Extensive Improvements on the Grounds. MILL VALLEY, Car., May 19.—At the annual meeting of the Mill Valley Country Club last night Arthur A. Martin was elected president, C. F. Runyon vice-presi- dent, Louis L. James second vice-presi- dent, Thomas Fottrell secretary and Charles A. Wainwright treasurer. The meeting was well attended, and the policy of the club for the ensuing vear was stated by President Martin. A clubhouse will be built as soon as available funds are se- cured. Already various members bave subscribed toward the fund. The grounds of the club at Millwood will be put into condition within a few days and a new tennis court built.

Tue date of the grand opening of the club for the summer season has not vet been decided upon, but arrangements are being made and the affair will be an suspicious he Mill Valley Covntry Club has been in_existence but twelve months, and in this time it has gone ahead at a marvelous rate. Some ot its members are numbered among the best rifle target shooters on the Pacific Coast, and the cricket-players are following 1n the footsieps of the marks- men. Lovell Waite, formerly president of the organization, was unable to again accept the presidency of the club on ac- cout of business interests on the outside. ACVENTURE NEAR' CHICD James Clair of San Leandro Kills a Cinnamon Bear in the Foothills. Riddles the Enraged Beast With Bul. lets From His Rifl: as It Charges Upon Him. CHICO, Car., May 19.—James Clair of Saa Leandre, who is visiting friends in | the mountains a few miles from Chico, had | a thrilling experience with a cinnamon | bear several days ago, and he will havea | big story to tell when he gets home. Dur- ing the present spring cold weather and frequent storms have caused many wild | animals to seek hiding places and food | around the foothills, and quite often cin- | namon bears are seen through the woods. Such big game was, however, the last thing younz Clair was looking for when he started out with & rifle on the day he met Bruin. He had shouldered the weapon at sun up and began a tramp through the foothills, resolved to return to the house of his friend, despairing of taking home a mess of squirrel or wild fowl. Clair had just started on the back trail when he saw a cinnamon bear tearing the bark from a dead loglying on the ground about seventy- | tive feet away. He raised his gun and fired, | the ball striking the beast in the flank. With a roar of pain the cinnamon wheeled and started toward Clair, who, | realizing that be bad a danzerous animal | to contend with, commenced pumping shells into his rifle and firing. Continu- ally roaring, the bear approached the hunter, and when near raised its huge body upon its haunches, Clair during all this time had stood firm as a rock, but as the bear reared up the young man dis- coveled that his last cartridge was gone. His nerve fled, and dropping the rifle he began a race for Yowellton. On reaching camp Clair’s breath was too short to tell his story directly, butina short time it was made known, and with guns and dogs a party started after the bear. On reaching the spot, the animal was found dead. On examination seven bullet-holes were found in its body and legs. Ten empty cartridges lay on the ground where Clair had stood when shoot- ing. The bear was weighed and tipped the scales at 440 pounds, which is the largest that Las been killed in that section for some time. — LOS ANGELES SENSATION Ex-Mayor Bryson the Defendant in a Suit Brought by His Daughter. lumbering off | She Deman!s an Accounting .of Property Signed Away at H s Dictation. LOS ANGELES, Can, May 19.—The family of ex-Mayor Bryson, who 1is com- monly called “Uncle John,” has had its share of misunderstandings in times past. Another chapter, however, bas been added to the list. The latest is a suit of a daugnter of “Uncle John”—Mrs. Margaret Krause—who sceks judgment for the value of two Louses and lots at Fairfield, lowa. Mrs. Krause told her story in Judge Shaw’s court this morning. She said she transferred the titie to her property to J. A. Husham at her father's dictation, and she now asks for an accounting. Tue transfer was made to accommodate a deal by which her father made §25,000. The father has a “‘stand-off’’ to the daughter’s claim in the shape of a bill for ti.e board of Lerself and children. He says the val- uation of the property in Iowa is much too hizh, and the sums he paid for his daughter’s support offset her claim. The case will be renewed to-mOrrow.

SHOULD HSE BE RELEASED? Remarkable Letter From The Jurist Confined in Highland. w TALE OF A DARK PLOT. Claims He Was Personated by Another Before Insanity Commiss:oners. IMPRISONED BY CONSPIRATORS. Juige Gallardo Trying to Establish His Friend’s Claim to Land . Worth Millions, SANTA BARBARA, Can, May 19.— Judge F. F. Gallardo, who is busily at work among the records of this county with a view to obtaining documentary evi- dence which will establish the right of his old friend, Judge Huse, to be released from the Highland Insane Asylum, as weil as to attend to his property rights bere, to-day reiterated his statement that the Judge owns property worth not less than $1,000,000 in this State. He asserts that should Judge Huse be released it would only be necessary to make applica- tion to the Federal authorities at Wash- ington to have a resurvey of the whole of El Montecito Valley, to which, the attor- ney claims, Huse has a valid title. He also asserts that Huse has not lost his right oi rec - aption to a large mortgage upon the great Los Prietos y Najalayequa ranch which, if established, would vir- tually give bim a title to the entire prop- erty, worth hundreds of thousands of dol- lars. Explaining this claim, Gallardo states that the mortgage was lost through delinquent taxes, but that this forfeiture occurred after the Judga's incarceration, and that the law especially protects from such summarv operation persons who are from any cause incapacitated from attend- ing to their own interests. He intimates that this loss of the mortgage was all a part of the conspiracy wuich has put Judge Huse where he is. Gellardo permitted a CArL correspondent to copy a letter just received from Judge Huse, discussing the lezal aspects of his case in the most intelligent, moderate and rational manner, and at the same time making sensational charges. It s as fol- lows: SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA STATE ASYLUN, SAN BERNARDINO, May 10, 1896, f F. Gallardo, Newhall, Cal.: I received your letter from Newhall last evening. I have care- fully examined and considered the waole of you have written. The hesitation of the Su- preme Court is due, I think, to the foilowing reasons: That there has been no case on ap- peal before this bench of Judges from a lower courtin & case of habeas corpus, so far as1 koow. R If the petition for the writ had been made to the Supreme Court or to any one of its Judges in the first instance, I do not see how the court, orany one of its Judges, could fail or refuse to grant it, or hear it or cause it to be heard. He (the Judge) or the court might designate the Judge before whom the matter was to be heard and the evidence taken. I think it is best to furnish the court with your ‘“‘points and authorities,” just exactly as is done in all civil cases. 1 am in good health, mentally and phystcally, and in the best of spirits, never better than I am now. Nodoctor in this or any other State can be more exact, clear, comprehensive and exhaustive than Dr. Hollister was in his testi- mony asan_expert before Judge Otis at the hearing by him of my petition for a writ of habeas corpus. This is my firm opinion and settled conviction. He showed that he understood the operation of the human mind as well as any meta- | my name at the instigation of the man or men physician or pathologist. Otfs did not decide the only question that was before him to de- cide, namely, the legality or illegality of my detention or restraint in the asylum, which is simply a continuation of the detention and re- | straint at the Napa Asylum. This question was to be answered by the consigeration of the sufficiency or insufficiency of the complaint, to which is annexed the report of the two doctors cited by Judge Levy to examine the alleged lunatic. The moment you saw that document and saw 1its contents you stated to the Judge that the whole thing was null and void from the fact that the stat- ute requires (it is a sine qua non) that the affi- davit or complaint must be made before a magistrate. The sworn complaint was made | in’ this ease before a deputy county clerk. He is not a magistrate. Hence the complaint gave | Judge Levy no jurisdiction in the case. | Of course, any proceeding before a court or | a judge who has not acquired jurisdiction (the right to hear and decide) 12 null and void. The order made by him to commit Charles E. Huse to the Napa asyium was a simple nullity. Otis dodged the question of the legality or sufi | ciency of the commitment, and did not decide | it. And this is the very groundwork and sub- stratum of our apveal to the Supreme Court to review his decision in the case. The man examined by the twodoctors before | Judge Levy was nmot myself, but a bogus | Charles E. Huse, who had fraudulently taken (I think I know who they were) who wanted to get me out of the way, and who could counter- feit the symptoms of lunacy well enough to deceive the doctors and the judge. While this | farce was going on before Judge Levy, I was | securely locked up in a cell under the City | Hall, some one and a hali miles or more | from Judge Levy's courtroom on Marketstreet. And so I testified and that testimony was not contradicted. Yours, asever, CHARLES E. HUSE. TRACY’S FIKST SETTLER GONE, Paralysis Suddenly Ends the Life of Parks H. Lewis, STOCKTON. Car., May 19.—Parks H. Lewis,the first resident of Tracy, died at the Railroad Junction this morning very suddenly. Some time ago he was stricken by paralysis, but the symptoms had al- most entirely disappeared. This morning he was about to ariss and prepare for breakfast when he suddenly sank back in bed dead.

Residents of Placerville “ Hello” Through a Long-Distance Telephone. “The Call” Receives the Message Announcing the Completion of the System. PLACERVILLE, Car, May 19.—The Sunset long-distance telephone system was completed at 6 o’clock this evening to ihis Foothill City of the Sierras. The representative of T CALL takes pride in sending Placerville's preeting as the first message from here through the medium of this marvelous invention of the nineteenth century. Greeting from El Dorado, the first county in California to produce gold and render famous the name of “Jim’’ Marshall! The revival of the mining industry in this district is wonderful. Placerville's hotel, than which none better exists in any California town of 1ts size, is crowded with visitors, capitalists and mining experts. New properties are being opened and old properties abandoned in the long ago are again receiving attention. The Salisbury mine started its wheels and gigantic en- gines to-day. The new machinery and hoist of the Larkin began their revolutions on Saturday last on the Mackay-Head prop- erty. A three-foot ledge of $10 ore was struck yesterday. Business of every kind is booming here and the dawn of better days is at hand. The coming of the electrical innovation marks but one more step in Placerville’s onward march. By the lightning’s flash can new discoveries in California’s richest gold fields now be heralded to the metrop- olis at the Golden Gate.
