8 - THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNflAY, JULY 26, 1896. HASLIP SEEN IN FRESND COUNTY, Madera’s Sheriff Is Close Upon the Trail of the Outlaw. HIDING IN THE HILLS. Farmers Living' Near Pollasky Dwell in Fear of the Murderer. DETERMINED TO CAPTURE HIM ! The Fugitive Believed to Be Travel- ing Toward the Sierra Fastnesses. FRESNO, Car., July 25.—Sheriff S8am Westfall of Madera is in the foothills of this county, above Pollasky, hunting for «Jim" Haslip, the Indian wanted for the murder of an Italian at Raymond over two years ago. Since he committed the murder Haslip has eluded the officers, nlthough several determined attempts have been made to capture him. Onlya few weeks ago Hi Rapelje and two Sanger constables tried their hand at capturing wily “Jim,”” but he gave them the slip. Haslip was seen a few days ago in the hills near Pollasky. Sheriff Westfall left ’ Madera immediately and it is reported to- day that he is hot on the fugitive’s trail. Men arriving from Pollasky to-day stated that the people in the country between Pollasky and the Big Sandy region were decidedly uneasy because of the assassin’s presence. They feel that the Indian would not hesitate to commit another murder if he were to feel pangs of hunger or deem himself in danger of capture. It is believed that Haslip will endeavor to steal a horse and seek the remote fast- nesses of the Sierra, but Westfall will en- deavor to stop him before he reachesthe divide. e BLOCKING THF VALLEY ROAD. Tamages Demanded by Fifteen Land- Owners of Fresno. FRESNO, Cav., July 25.—Right-of-way Agent C, 8. Young of the Valley road is bolding daily conferences with property- owners along the survey between this city and Reedley. He is making favorable progress.

FRESNO, CaL, July 25.—Constable Shaw and deputies are taking steps to rid the city of numerots rough characters, who come with the annual influx of la- borers during the fruit season. The Saper- visors have allowed laborers to sleep in the courthouse park, and here undesir- able characters also make their ren- dezvous. When a Valley road grading contractor came to town last night look- ing for tnirty laborers at $180 a day he could only get two men who would go out with him. There have been numerous complaints of beggars insulting women in the absence of their husbands at residences of the city. Corstable Shaw took a decisive step to- day. He picked a dozen of the worst- looking vagrants and locked them up in jail on charges of vagrancy. The oi{ur £ays he will continue this until they leave the city. ENTERTAINED AT PORTLAND. Projectors of the Japanese Bteamship Line Outline Zheir Plans. PORTLAND, Og, July 25.—Representa- tives of the projected Oriental steamship line, Sochira Asano, president of the com- pany; H. Okawa, director in the Oji Paper Company near Tokio; Shunjiro Tomika, a captain in the service of the steamship company, and Hiroyuki Kobayashi, inter- preter for Mr. Asano, arrived from Ta- comsa to-day. The visitors were driven to the Portland Hotel, whence, aiter a short rest, they were taken to luncheon at the Commercial Club. The following was ob- tained from Mr. Kobayashi, the inter- preter: “*Our company is one with a capital of $7,500,000. The Japanese Government, realizing the benefits to be derived from an extension of its merchant marine, has offered liberal subsidies to the promoters of steamship lines between Japan and for- eign ports, the subsidy being graded ac- cording to the tonnage of the vessel, speed and number of miles covered on the voy- age. To take advantage of the subsidy, we propose building twelve large stear- shipsof not less tian 5000 gross register and placing them in the trade between the Qrient, Enrope and tbe United States. The Jarger number of our fleet will operate on the run across the Pacific Ocean, and it is to select a termiuus for the line that dur present trip is being made.”” The combination of a subsidized Japa- nese line with the Oregon-Asiatic line now operating from Portland would maxe a company that would virtually control thé Orient trade on this coast.

EUREKA, CAL, July 25.—The steamer Cleone arrived this evening with 136 ex- cursionists from Crescent City and South- ern Oregon.

The wharves wrere black with people assembled to wel- come the northern neighbors, Most of Crescent City’s business and professional men were in the party. They hope by means of these excursions to cement a stronger business union, and as their interests are similar to Eureka’s, to work more in unison. Among those who arrived from Crescent City were: Judge Murphy and wife, J. Wenger of the Lake Earl . Milling Company, Fred Franiz, County Auditor; City Attorney McNa mura, Supervisor Murray, Banker E. W. Palm of Medford. A ball was given to-night in honor of the guests.

Domestic Troubles of tive Beals Aired in a Divorce Court. 1LOS ANGELES, Can., July 25.—Bpec- tators in Judge Van Dyke’s courtroom to- day were treated to sensational divorce proceedings. C. H. Beal, a well-known photographer, is the defendant. The snappy-eyed plaintiff is making the fight of her life. She has a long string of wit- nesses to prove her charges of cruelty. The defendant is also well fortified with witnesses and attorneys. Beal's set-off to his wife’s complaint is general shiftlessness and a temper that has no bounds. One of Beal's witnesses testified that he had been shown through the Beal home a day or two after the couple had separated and found things in dire confusion, and dirt everywhere. There was dirt in the sugar, coffee, butter, pota- toes and around the roome. Another said that Mrs. Beal used language on many occasions which conld not be repeated, and he once saw her spit in Beal's face. On one occasion, according to the evi- dence, Mrs, Beal came in with her mother, when Beal was finishing a photograph of his mother-in law. Mrs. Beal called her husband a “fool” and remarked thatii the picture had been for any one except his mother-in-law it would have been finished long before. —— SAN RAFAKL TRIAL. Convict Kelley’s Fate Rests With Twelve of His Peers. SAN RAFAEL, Cat., July 25.~The case of the People vs. Joun Kelley, who kilied a fellow-convict named Arrison in San Quentin Prison, was given to the jury be- fore noon to-day. 1t is believed to-night that there is very little chance of an agree- ment. The jury is said to stand ten for conviction of murder and two for acquittal or conviction of a lesser crime. The trial occupied the Superior Court ten days, during which fifty convicts were brought here to testify, thirty-five of them being for the defense. All of the latter told the same story, though they were di- vided into three or four divisions, each division having its separate phase of the encounter. They declared that the mur- dered man was the aggressor; that he had the knife and tried to kill Kelley, and that Kelley slew him in self-defense.

The committee favored woman suffrage and extended thanks to San Francisco and Santa Cruz papers. A mis- sionary address was delivered just before the noon hour by Rev. E. Lewis of Grass Valley, in_which he insisted that Chris- tians should slight all else rather than the cause of God. The church convention opened at 1 ». . The president, Rev. J. E, Denton, appointed A. R. McCuallough, George Greenweil and L. McCray as a presidentiai commirttee. After the enrollment of delegates Hon. A. M. McCoy of Red Biuff was elected chair- man, Rev. C. W.

STOCKTON, CaL., July 25.—The board of directors of the San Joaquin Agricultu- ral Association met to-day and decided to hold a pavilion display here during fair week. It has betn a mooted questen for some time as to wheiher there would be any exhibition in the pavilion, for the rea- son that last year this part of the fair ran the directorsin debt. The horse-racing at the track always pays, butof late the dis- play in the agricultural pavilion has leit the management in 'acrears. It was thought that thers would be a bitter fight against holding another exhibition in the pavilion, but this afternoon, when the di- rectors met, all voted for the pavilion dis- Yhy. The Hawaiian band will be secured or the week. TAS L A Santa Barbara Man’s Escape. SANTA BARBARA, CaL., July 25.-0. 0. Morse of the Electric Ligcht company was to-day nearly killed by asphyxiation while trying to make a connection with the gas main on State street, near Cota. He telephoned to the works to have the gas shut off, but, through some one’s stupidity, it was turned on before the signgl was given. The new gas, made by the water process and used only in Santa Barbara thus far has no odor, and its escape cannot be readily detected. A quarter of an hour later a passer-by chanced to look into the trench and saw Morse lving there to all appearances dead. He was at oiice lifted out, and with difli- culty resuscitated. £ ——— Drowned Near La Center, VANCOUVER, Wasn., July 25.—Katie Conway, a girl about 8 years old, was drowned in Lewis River, near La Center, yesterday afternoon.

Gaddis Elected Permanent Chair. men of the Protectionist Band. \ WOODLAND, Car., July 25.—Several hundred voters attended the mass-meet- ing held in the City Hall last night to or- ganize a McKinley and Hobart club for Yols County. Had any one doubted that McKinley enthusiasm was alive in this community, his doubts would have been dispelled by. an attendance at this gathering. The champion of protection was cheered to the echo and the good feel- ing was unbounded. The meeting was called to order by At- torney Ed E. Gaadis, chairman of the Republican County Central Committee, who delivered an address full of patriot- ism and protection.. Oscar Chalmers was placed in nomination for temporary chair- man and was elected by acclamation. The club thea perfected a permanent organization by electing the following officers: Ed E.

Chairmaa Gaddis proposed three cheers for McKinley and Hobart, and they were given with a will. A — e FUSION IN WASHINGTON, May Unite on a State Ticket. SEATTLE, Wasu., July 25.—“Willlam J Bryan has attained the greatest personal trinmph ever accorded a man in securing nominations from three National conven- tions,” exclaimed Hon. John Wiley, the Republican free-sitver chamvion of this State, upon the announcement this after- noon that the Nebraskan had been named by the National Populists. ‘‘And this great uvrising,” Mr. Wiley continued, “recalls Colonel Rhea’s declaration when placing Joe Blackburn in nominatio n utterance which, I think, should hive in history—that ‘freedom’s battles are not fought out at bankers’ banquets,” and it also suggests that great economic and po- litical questions are not studied out over mahogany tables.” Bryan’s third nomination has caused unbounded enthusiasm among his sap- porters in Seattle. Democrats, Populists and Free-silver Republicans are massing into one political family, and indications are that there will be a general fusion on all State offices, The clans have called for a mass-meeting w0 ratify Bryan's third and, verbaps, last nomination, for July 50. By that time Washington’s delega- tions to the St. Louis conventions will have returned. Wholesale and commission houses of thlis city have organized a Bryan oclub roll. Upon his return from Chicago Hon. William H. White, chairman_or the Washington delegation to the National Democratic Convention, in discussing the action of National Committeeman Hugh Wallace of Tacoma in refusing to vote for Bryan, said that it was due to that little remark in the now famous speech of the Democratic candidate for President, wherein ne said that if any wanted a erit- icism of the United States Supreme Court on the income tax law, uuz should read the disseniing opinion of the judges who failed to concur in the decision. Chief Justice Fuller, who wrote the decision, is the father-in-law of Wallace, and the re- marks of Bryan annoyed Wallace. Silver Factions e st A MESSMORE’'S CANDIDACK. The Congressional Aspivant Defines His Ponition. LO8 ANGELES, CAL., July 25.—Colonel Messmore has issued this announcement of his candidacy for the Democratic nomi- nation for Congress: 1 take this method of announcing to the voters of the Sixth Congressional District that Ishallbes candidate for nomination before the convention to be held at Ventura on the 4th day of August, 1896. It is proper that every man who presents himself for gTes- sional honors should let the voters know just where he stands_upou the vital issues of the hour, The platform adopted by the conven- tion at Chicago, which placed Bryan and Sewall in nomination, meets my unqualified approval in every particular. aat platform is a second declaration of in- dependence, a bow of promise to the strug- gling millions of this conntry s‘lu‘: the op- pression of the money and corporal owers not only of our own country but of Europe £0. The remonetization of silver, which is the vital question of the great contest before us, is an open declaration of war against the great- est erime of the century, the crowning infamy of the Republican party—the destruction of half of the metallic money of the Nation and the direct cause of its destruction Ly all the Latin commercial nations. Ihave fought this infamous act since 1873. Thatactis the parent of the army of trampsand unmilayod all over the land. 1. E. MESSMORE. —_— FRESNO REPUBLICANS.

Notwithstanding the boasts of those of other political faiths that the Republican party in Fresno County is now dead, there were more citizens in attendance when Judge St. John picked up the gavel at the | McKinley club meeting than have at- tended any Democratic or Populist meet- iog of a similar nature held in thiscity. A. L. Hobbs, W. H. Spencer, F, H. Short, George W. Jones and Judge S. L. Carter were appointed a committee on germlnent organization, to report next aturday evening, when the club will meet again.

They spoke to a large and 1mpartial audience. The meeting was called to order by Mrs. W. W. Whittington. Martin opened the debate by paying a glowing tribute to the fair sex and declaring for equal suffrage. He eulogized Miss Susan B. Anthony, much to the delight of the audience. Martin, who is an elector on the Bryan and Sewall ticket, claimed that the pros- perity of a country depended upon the amount of circulating medium in that country, citing facts and fizures 2 proof of his contention. Pillsbury proved con- clusively that the circulating medium had constantly inereased for the past twenty, years, yet tvimes were not keeping’ pace with the increase of money. Martin claimed there was a per capita circulation of but $5 in this country. Pillsbury said the United States Treasurer's report, rendered on July 1, 1896, gave a per-capita circutation of §21 15. The debate was courteously conducted and heartily enjoyed by the aunditors. Pillsbury leaves to-night for San Fran- c1sco to assume his duties as secretary of the bureau of literature of the Republican State Central Committee. ——pes Placer County Convention.

SAN BERNARDINO FACTORY CLOSED, Evil Effect of the Passage of the Wilson-Gorman Tariff Act. ‘WORKMEN IN IDLENESS. Forced Shut-Down of the Borax Works, Eighty Miles North of Mojave. ONCE A PAYING INDUSTRY. Will B: Reopened When Protsction Is Again @ranted by Congress. SAN BERNARDINO, Cawn, July 25.— About eighty miles north of Mojave isan institution known as the San Bernardino Borax Works. In the years before the enactment of the Wilson-Gorman tariff law, about 100 wen were employed at | the works, each receiving not less than |- $60 a month and board. There were six drivers of mule teams, which freighted the borax to Mojave. These received $125 per month for their services and the swampers about the marsh received $85. Five stations were established between the works and Mojave, with large farms and houses where a number of people were employed at good salaries, A trip from the borax works to Mojave was made every eight days with three twenty-two- mule teams, bauling sixty tons, from which was realized, under the McKinley law, $400 per ton. To-day borax would bring but $50 per ton, because of the withdrawal of the pro- tection afforded by the McKinley tariff. Under present conditions, of course, the works have closed and hundreds of men are thrown'out of employment. The busy whirl of machinery has ceased. The big wagons are no longer used, and the mules have been sold, given away or are idly ‘*‘eating their heads off.” The shouts of men have died away. A keeper takes care of the company’s property, and the owners are awaiting the return of pro- tection and the prosperity sure to follow the election of William McKinley and a Republican Congress. Then the works will be reopened. TULARE COUNTY POPULISTS. Many Opposed to the Nomination Bryan at 5t. Louts. VISALIA, CAL, July 25.—It is believed that there will be trouble among the Populists in this county when Delegate Gilstrap returns from St Louis. To-day his partner and co-editor of the Weexkly News received the followiug telegram: Populists cricified on the cross of Democ- racy by supposed friends. No bolt. Gilstrap is a middle-of-the-road man, and before leaving for Chicago announced his intention of bolting should the conven- tion indorse or nominate Bryan, He was supported in his radical views by Alfred Daggett of this city, who was also a dele- gate to the conventiion, Sentiment seems to be divided among the Populists in this place. Bome are pleased over the result, while many do not take kindly to being swallowed by the Democracy. ESE T, Redding’s Ratification.

A FEW FACTS ABOUT THE TOWNSITE OF FITCHBURG It is on the right side of the bay, directly opposite of San Francisco and near the populous cities of Oakland and Alameda, yet tar enough away from these business centers to warrant its becoming an independent, self- supporting and prosperous community by itself. It is a townsite by naiural location, extending from the famous San Leandro road on the north to Oakland harhor on the south, and is subdivided into large blocks, bounded by widé streets, newly graded and graveled, and ornamented with avenues of trees, cypress hedges and evergreen groves. l;;vwlrd 0f 1193 lots have been sold to bona-fide investors since the townsite was platted and placed on the market. It is an important station en the Southern Pacific main line and enjoys local transportation facili- :Ih!l'l;}' fast ferry trains and electric-cars equal if not superior to any of the most, favored cities around 0 bay. ltsextensive frontage on the commodious harbor now being Improved by the United States Gov- ernment insures cheap water transportation for all time to those about to start manufacturing enter- prises of any description. As a choice locality for homes it has no rival. Modern convenlences in close touch—such as city water. street railways. churches, schools, theaters, free dellvery, etc.—without the payment of city taxes.
