SELE-DEFENSE HS PLEN |James Kelly Tells How He | Killed Joseph E. Quinn | and Why. Claims the Dead Man Wou'd Have | Slain Him if He Could Have Done So. The prosecution baving closed its case evidence for the defense was yesterday in- troduced at the trial of James Kelly for the murder of Soldier Joseph E. Quinn. | Kelly himself was upon the stand and | swore that he did not know he bad killed | Quinn until he had been taken to the guardhouse some time after the occur- | rence. He also claimed that he struck in | seli-defense, and believed that in doing | s0o he was using a last effort to save his | lfe. “If I hadn’t used the razor I would now | likely be where Quinn is,’” said Kelly, in answer to a question put by Prosecuting Attorney Hinkle. The prisoner, whose looks are much im- proved since he donned his uniform, was | being cross-examined as to the particulars | of the fatal fight. He told how Quinn had | threatened 10 whip him and how, knife in | hand, he danced about him, seeking an | opportunity 10 attack him, Kelly said he took bis razor from his pocket and opened it, ready for action in case he should be attacked, but that he had no idea of using it if Quinn forbore his expressed inten- tion. A number of Kelly's comrades testified as to his good character, his quietness and general inoffensiveness, while Quinn was pictured the post bully, a man always ready for a fight and physically the superior of any other man in the com- mard. One of them swore that the open pocket-knife found on the parade ground after the affray was the property ot Quinn and that he recognized it from tne fact that the dead man was wont to look upen it as his mascot, he having a habit of plac- ing it upon the table before him whenever he was gambling. The attorneys for the defense are jubi- lant over the fact that so far no testimony has been introduced which shows that their client had any malice against Quinn. The trial will be continued to-day. ———————— One-third of the females of France over 14 years of age are farm laborers. — ee———— OwLp Dutch, English and Japanese oaks, plain mat gilts, curly redwood, Spanish cedar, raw chestnuts, russettt and green and golds are ilhe newest things in picture {rames, atSan- born & Veail's, OUR | LADIES’ MERINO UNDERWEAR DEPARTMENT.

Populistic Legislative Nominees Crowd Out Bourbon Aspirants, COULD NOT STEM THE CURRENT Even Senator Stephen M. White Ap. peared to Be Powerless South of Tehachapi. Thoughtful Democrats of California are beginning to realize the extent of the bunko game played on their party by Thomas V. Cator and his coadjutors, and in consequence Democratic cheeks flush with shame whenever the subject is broached in their presence. The leaders of the Democratic party are aware of the shameful predicament of their organization, brought about by the fusion dickerings that have taken place in regard to members of the Legislature, and while they are fully alive to the degrada- tion of the ‘‘bargain and sale” that has besmirched the fair fame of their party, few who hold responsible positions in the pprty are willing to express their inner thoughts on the situation. As a matter of fact the southern part of the State, all that section south of Teha- chapi, over which Senator Stephen M. ‘White is supposed to keep watch and ward for the Democrats, has been de- livered, body and soul, to the Cator fac- tion of the Populist party. . In Ban Diego County the Democrats conceded both Assembly nominations to the Cator Populists, and in San Bernardino and Orange, in each of which one Assem- blyman is to be chosen, a similar plan was followed, Riverside County kicked out of the traces to a certain extent and nominated a Non-Partisan. Nobody pretended to gauge his probable action on the Sena- torial question. He may resolve to sup- port what he considers the best man and vote for himself. In the joint Senatorial disirict of Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside counties it had been ngreed that the Dem- ocrats should have the nomination, and they intended to put up an anti-corpora- tion Democrat who would not under an: clrcumstances vote for Cator; but the !‘Ii{- road influence, which dominates BSan Bernardino County Democratic polities, came in and broke Jdown the arrange- ment, so a Cator Populist was nominated. There is & touch of grim humor in the way things are manipulated by Cator and - his adherents in Los Angeles County, where the Populists allowed the Demo- crats to nominate the State Senator in deference to United States Senator White, whereas it is positively known that under no circumstances could any one except a in districts where there are practically only Republican votes. The remainder of the nominations in which there was a ghost of a show for success they took to themselves on the fusion basis. Santa Barbara Democrats supinely yielded the Assembly nomination to the Populist aspirant, so Cator scored another victory. It was all fixed up in the usual emooth manner that a Populist should be placed on the Assembiy ticket in Ventura County, but a handful of old-line Democrats got ‘in and made such a ciamorous protest tnat the scheme had to be abandoned, and a Democrat was nominated, thus illus- trating the fact that a little firmness on the part of the genuine Democratic party would have delivered that organization from the bumiliating ;ubjectien into which it has been led. Id the Senatorial district of which Ventura is a part, out of respect for Senator White the Democratic Senator was not opposed by the Populists, He has a chance to win, and if he lives may be called on to vote for Mr. White two years hence. Cator fairly bulldozed the Democrats into a fusion in S8an Luis Obispo County and as the outcome a Populist was nomi- nated. Kern County is known as a Democratic stronghold, where a Democratic nomina- tion is equivalent to an_ efection, yet strange to relate, after a Democrat had been nominated Cator and his cohorts came along and dragged down the Demo- cratic choice and put up a Populist in- stead. This seems like carrying things with a high hand, but it illustrates tne flaccid condition of the Democratic will throughout the State. _ In the Assembly district composed of Tulare and Kings counties a Populist wis pominated without a protest. One of Fresno's Assemblymen was apportioned to the Populist party just as a courtesy to Mr. Cator. No opposition, In Stockton both the Assemblymen were given to the Cator Pooulists, the rail- road interest favoring that plan with ight and wain, Other counties have been yielded to the Populists by the Democrats, asfollows: Placer County, 1; Mono and Inyo (iroinuy), 1; Butter and Yuba, the same; Tehama and Trinity, the same. * The Populists also got two of their men on the Assembly ticket in Humboldt County, and also took Sonoma into camp, as well as Contra Costa, Solano, Napa and Santa Cruz, these latter having one romi- nee each. Alameda contributed three Populistic nominees to Mr. Cator’s possible guota and Santa Clara gives two. In these places, however, the election is what is troudbling the fusionists more than they care to confess. The Populists grew so emboldened by their uninterrupted series of victories that they decided that they could afford to break iaith with the Democrats in regard to the senatorship for the district em- braced in Monterey and San Benito coun- ties, After they had tricked the Demo- crats into fusing on their candidate for State Senator they declined to pull down their Populist nominee, so there are now three aspirants in the field—Republican, Democrat and Populist—with the chances in favor of the Republican obtaining a good majority, e 7 In addition to these fusion arrange- ments, Populists ara running for the Legislature _on straight-ont Populist tickets in Shasts, Marin and Nevada counties. The situation in the City and County of San Francisco is somewhat mixed. The Democrats have generally refuse to co- alesce with the Populists, but in several cases the Populists bava indorsed Demo- cratic nominees in order to carry out the idea that they have been able to accom- plish the general fusion programme throughout the State. The bunko game has worked all right, so far as the nominations are concerned; but it remains to be seen whether the Democratic voters will permit themselves Republican be elected in that district. The Populists also permitted the Demo- crats to take three Assembly nominations to be used in this shameful manner by a few tricksters who have only their per- sonal aims and selfish purposes to ad- vance. 10 FIGHT FOR CHEAP LUMBER Oregon Lumbermen Will Try to Break Down the Trust. Their Plan Will Bring Car- goes Direct to Local Consumers. COMPLAINTS OF THE TRUST. Northern Lumbermen Say Their Only Chance Is to Fight the Com- binaton. News reached a number of local lumber- dealers of San Francisco a few days ago that an attempt will be made by a num- ber of Oregon and Washington lumber- Jealers at an early date to break the trust or combine said to control the local mar- ket. X 3 “For the purpose of reaching this ob- ject,” said Pembroke Anson of Salem, Or., vesterday, “an effort has been set on foot to corral enough local dealers here to buy a few million feet of lumber each year. “Large mills are running at alossat Corvallis and other towns 1 Oregon simply because their owners cannot get into tie combination and they are about tired of the close corporation plansthat virtually give the entire business into the hands of a few people. They have, therefore, decided to try to break the power of the trust, if possible, either by starting large lnmber-yards here or by ob- taining contracts with carpenters or con- tractors to take cargoes as they may arrive at this port. This would cause a great deal of excitement on steamer days. The plan would be to organize a corps of anti-trust lumbermen, who would always be ready to take a given quantity on the arrival of the ves- sels, and without delay. The chief ob- 1eetion to having lumber come to deal- ers in this way is that those who deal outside of the trust are tabooed and cannot buy lumber of the regular dealers, Those trying to break the trust are seeking to overcome this difficulty by arranging to have all kinds of lumber on the ships that arc free from the trust.” News of the intended scheme to break the trust will no doubt create a stir among builders and contractors, who have long been seeking some method of relief. It is not believed, however, that any ordinary combination can greatly modify existing rates, for lumber-dealers complain that rates are already at bedrock. Absconded With Jewelry. J. Pope, ¥ifth and Bryant streets, swore to a complaint in Judge Campbell’s court yester~ day charging C. C. Drake with misdemeanor embezzlement. Drake was employed by Po§. and on Saturday he was given an order on H. Hoftman, a jeweler, for & vair of diamond ear- rings and a'breastpin. Drake got the jewelry and has not been seen since.
