THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 189 WRECKAGE LINES EACH RIVER BANK Waters Slowly Receding in the Northern Flood Districts. Irreparable Damage to Growing Crops in Oregon and Washington. Railway Lines Still Blocked by Slides and Washouts—Two Deaths by Drowning. SEATTLE, Wasu., Nov. 17.—In some sections of the flooded district, notably the Skagit and Snohomish rivers, the waters are slowly receding, but they have not fallen enough to give material relief. Small rivers south of this city, in King County, are still rising and great loss to private property is the result. " Much of the oat crop, for which the Skagit River bottoms are famous, has been irreparably damaged, and baled hay in great quanti- ties has been washed dowan the river and hundreds of bales on into the sound. From the north reports come of the drowning of about filiy head of cattle and many more sheep, hogs and horses, Itis estimated that over 1,000,000 feet of logs and shingle bolts have been washed down the various streams emptying into the sound. The river steamboat City of Champagne, Captain McConald, has returned from a perilous trip up the Skagit. Captain Mc- Donald says the voyage was attended by the greatest danger, the vessel being re- peatedly struck by floating trees and logs. He reports that the water hed risen around many large grain warehouses to a depth of five or six feet. At Mount Vernon the water fell four feet to-day. Sedro reports six houses washed from their foundations, and at Hamiiton, a small town in Skagit County, a large brick residence collapsed and sev- eral more dwellings were badly damaged. During the day the water fell five feetin Snohomish City, bui the tracks of the Great Northern Rairoad are still sub- mergéd around the towns of Lowell, Mon- roe and Wallace. There was a fall of about four feet to-day at Everett. There is but little improvement in the general railrcad situation. No overland trains are running in any direction, though the Northern Pacific will make another attempt to-night to take a train east over the Cascades, hoping to transfer at Natchez River. lislines between this city and Tacoma are in a bad way. The White River bridge is out and several landslides still block the way. On Thurs- day, it is expected, trains will be run from Tacoma and Portland. The Seattle and International ran a train north to Sumas this atternoon, affording connection with the Canadian Pacific. That road’s local agent reports that an overiand -left Van- couver for the East to-day, and that west- bound overlands are moving again. By to-morrow the Great Northern expects to have a train running as far north as S:an- wood on the coast line. The Western Union and Postal Tele- graph wires are again in fairly good shape, but no mails have been received in this city for three days, save by boat from local points. William Davidson and John Larson were drowned last night while trying to rescue a man from an island in the Yakima River. WHITTIER EX-EMPLOGYES ACCUSED. Warrants Issued for Three Women Charged With Brutality to the Inmates. LOS ANGELES, CaL.,, Nov. 17.—War- rants have been issued for the arrest on a charge of battery of Mrs, Wilson, Miss Germain and Mrs. Henderson, who were employed in the female ward of the Whit- tier Reform School. Mrs. Sutherland, the discharged night watchwoman in the girls’ dormitory, caused eriminal proceed- ings to be instituted agaifist the others. She claimed to the District Attorney that these women abused the girls. Mrs. Wilson was principal and Miss Germain was matron until last week, when they were discharged. According to the statements of Mrs. Sutherland, these two compelled the girl inmates to stand still for four bours at a time. Rosa Johnson was whipped and put into a straitjacket and locked in a cell. Lizzia Robinson and Siella Martinez were whipped and put into straitjackets for laughing over pictures in a magazine. These whippings were administered with broad straps, Mary Kavanaugh ana Mary Gray were put in straitjackets and locked in cells for giggling. Their feet were tied and cloths were tied over their mouths. Mrs. Sutherland claims that Mrs. Hen- derson was in the habit of utting girls into lockers over night. All this hegan the iatter part of Seotember, and Mrs, Sutherland says she wrote to John W. Mitchell. to come and investigate. The warrants have not been served yet, as it is expectea the three cofficials will surrender themselves. e COLLISION AT EUREKA. The Tug Xanger and Schooner Uceania F¥ance Orash Together. EUREKA, Car, Nov. 17. — The tug Ranger went outside the bar to-day to tow in the schooner Oceania Vance, bound to this port toload lumber for Sydney. When the tug was nearing the schooner, the lat- ter suddenly made a tack, coming onto the tug before her captain realized his danger. The schooner’s jibboom swept the upper works of the tug, taking out the mast and rigging and smokestack, and demolishing the whistle and steam-pipes. Connections with the boiler were broken and steam es- caped so rapidly that the tug was forced to make for harbor, which was reached safely. The tug Buhne went to the assistance, but ber services were not necessary. The bar became very rough stortly afterward and the schooner was uanble to get in and her damages cannot be ascertained antil she reaches port to-morrow. 3 —_— The Zinita May Be Saved. TACOMA, Wash., Nov. 17.—A private dispatch from Hoquiam says the bark Zinita, which was wrecked near Grays Harbor, may be saved. Captain Frager will at once begin {0 clear the rigging to the lower masts, and says he can lighten the vessel to draw only seven feet of water. The captain says the Zinita'is fally 1n- sured. kgl Fight at the Preston Mine. EUREKA, Car, Nov. 17.—Word was received in this eity to-night of a fight which occurred at the Preston coal mine in this county yesterday. Mat Hulmlund ‘was having an argument with another of ihe crew, when George Williams, cook for the crew, took part. angering Hulmlund. The latter told Williams to attend to his pots and pans, This enraged Williams so that he rushed into the kitchen, seized & heavy {rying-pan, returned to where Hulmlund was standing and struck bim a fearful blow on the head with it, crushing bis gkull. The chances jor Hulmlund's recovery are sligut. e i B S DROWNED IN TEN-RILE RIVER. Mendocino Stage Driver Gallops His Horses Into a Swollen Stream at Night. CAHTO, Cay, Nov. 17.— George Thomas “0ld George'’ as he was familiarly known — night driver of the Eureka overland stage, was drowned in Ten-mile River early yesterday morning v.vhue en route with bis stage to Cummings, fifteen miles north of here. The river at the ford is always a shallow gravel bed during the early fall and sum mer months, but the beavy rains of Saturday and Sunday have swolien all the streams. Thomas bhad forded this stream twenty-four hours previously and doubtless had no thougnt of impending danger. The horses evidently galloped into the river where twenty feet of water was rushing at the rate of twelve miles an hour. The torrent probably carried all down the stream, as no evidence of wreckage remained. Information from the driver of the south-bound stage arriving here to-day at 1 o’clock'to the effect that he had not passed Thomas en route or heard any- thing of his whereabouts aroused the citizens of this vicinity and a carefal search was instituted, with the result that Thomas’ body was found nearly two miles from the point where he had attempted to cross. It was considerably mangled from violent contact with ‘the rocks. The horses were found alive 300 hundred yards from the ford, standing in five feet of water. They were entangled in the for- ward running gear of the stage and had remained in this condition for over tharty hours. ‘I'he stage and contents are a total loss. Two pouches of United States mail are missing, and the remaining five or six pouches are so watersoaked that | the mail inclosed cannot be routed on account of its unreadable condition. The watch stopped at 3:50 o’clock Mon- day morning, and at this hour two shrill calls were heard by persons living in the vicinity of the ford. Thomas had been in the emfiloy of the stage company four years, e was unmarried, 55 years of ace, and had no known living relatives. He had always been regarded as a trusty man, and was ever sober and careful. Tiire) ad o McLACHLAN MAY CONTEST. Friends of the Congressman Claim That He Was Fairly Elected. LOS ANGELES, CaL., Nov. 17.—Friends | and advisers of Hon. James McLachlan insist that he will contest the election of Barlow for Congress in this district, In this county alone there is a difference of 2341 between the Fresidential and Congres- sional vote, and in the entire district there 1s a shortage of at least 4000 votes for Congress. Election officers say this discrepancy is largeiy accounted for by double voting for Congress. the names of McLachlan and Needham, Prohibitionist, being marked on the same ballot, hence neither counted. Actual tests show that the folding of a freshly marked McLach- lan ballot makes a plain imprint after Needham’s name. It is claimed McLach- len lost many votes in this way. He has not yet decided to contest, but is seriously contemplating such action. S R LUS ANGELES STRIKE. Opera Singers at the Burbank Theater Want Back Pay. 108 ANGELES, Car, Nov. 17.—The curtain did not rise at the Burbank The- ater to-night, where the Ideal Opera Com- pany has been holding forth. The cause of the shut-down was a strike on the part of several members of the company be- cause Manager Malim could not accede to the demands for pay due on account of a former engagement. Miss Gracie Plaisted, the star of the company, was for going on with the performance, ana seems mueh grieved over the disagreement between vlayers and manager. The house wiil be temporarily closed. e NVICIS FIGHT. Fred Townsend Cut With a Razor by a Prison Companion. SACRAMENTO, CaL., Nov. 17.—During a fight among the convicts at the State vrison at Folsom last week Fred Town- send, who turned State’s evidence against his accomplices in the robbery of the street railway comrpany’s barn in this city, was severely slashed across the left side of the body with a razor and may die. Townsend was generally hated by all the conviots. On this oceasion a prisoner named Brannon began abusing Townsend, woo retaliated, and the two came to blows.

TACOMA, Wasa., Nov. 17.—The New York Dredging Company did not com- mence dredging Olympia harbor to-day. The company recently received the con- tract_and brought up from #an Francisco a hydrau lic dredger leased from the San Francisco Bridge Company.

The Case for the onpl'a Closed in the Trial of the Napa Priscner. NAPA, Car., Nov. 17.—The confeesion of William Roe, alias William Moore, on trial for the murder of Mrs. Greenwood in 1891, wus repeated on the witness-stand to-day by Sheriff Burr of Los Angeles. Beyond the testimony of this officer and of Sheriff McKenzie the prosecution de- voted its time to tracing the whereabouts of Roein 1891 to prove that his move- ments were as he stated in the confession. The courtroom was again .crowded to-day and the prisoner manifested more than usual interest in the proceedings, ire- quently conlerring with his atorneys. The prosecution closed its case in the afternvon, Mrs. Weyse, who had 'testified last Fri- day, was called for further cross-examina- | tion when court opened this morning. | She said shedid not expect any portion of the reward offered for the apprehension of the murderer of Mrs. Greenwood. Moore toid her that he had owned a faise beard, which cost $2 50, but after the mur- der of Mrs. Greenwpod he had destroyed it, This testimony was im portant, inasmuch as Policeman Johnson of Los Angeles identified Roe as a man whom he arrested in August, 1892, for battery. The feilow wore a false beard and gave his name as George Knight. Sheriff John Burr of Los Angeles County made a clear statement of what was told him by Moore relative to the murder. He said he met Moore for the first time on September 21 on the train from San Ber- nardino to Los Angeles. After arriving in Los Angeles Moore was taken tothe Sheriff's office ana his voluntary state- ment in reference to the Greenwood mur- der was made in substance as follows: Iam Bill Moore, wanted in Napa County for the murder oi Mrs. Greenwood. The day be- fore the murder I met Carl Schmidt and saw that he wasa man that I couid hendie. On the way up from Vallejo we—Schmidt and I— stopped and drank av different saloons and arrived at the Greenwood place about 5 o'clock in the afternoon. After a conversa- tion with Mr. Greenwood we went into the house. About twenty minutes later Mrs. Greenwood returned home. 1 helped Mrs. Greenwood out of the buggy and into the house, while Schmidt took care of the horse. We then wentinto the house. Mrs. Greenwood cofuplained of trouble in her head and 1 gave her some medicine that I had. Greenwood and Ithen had a iuss and we both drew our pistols. I shot Mr. Green- wood in the left cheek, the bullet glancing and killing Mrs. Greenwood. I then went out to Schmidt and we got into the buggy and drove to Nepa. We again returned to the Greenwood place, Schmidt going into the house and I remaining on the outside. We then left the Greenwood place. Igave Schmidc $3 or $4 and toid him to go his way aud I woula go mine. He started toward Sacramento and I toward Be- nicia. At Benicia, the day after the murder, I went in1o & saloon and treated a workingman toadrink. Some one remarked, “There goes the Sheriff; I wonder what he wants here.” I procured a pair of overalls irom the bar- tender and & dinner-bucket from a man. AsI was leaving the saloon I met the Sheriff. I again entered the saloon and took & drink with the officer. I then went to San Fran. cisco. : This statement was made to Sheriff Burr while in Los Angeles, and in the train en route to Fresno. The Sheriff said that Moore was very much worried, and at times could not keep from ecrying. He was much depressed in spirits, and said Schmidt was suffering punishment for a crime of which he was innocent. To pass away the time while on the train Moore recited selections from several authors— Scott, Burns and Byron. Sneriff McKenzie went upon the stand, and his testimony corroborated that of Sheriff Burr, Moore having toid the same story to Sheriff McKenzie and Sher:ff Burr, Moore was met at Fresno by Sheriff M Kenzie, and from that place to Napa, con- versation was held beiween the Sheriff and the defendant. According to the testimony of Saeriff McKenzie, Moore told the following story in connection with that given by Sheriff. Burr: When we—Schmidtand I—got to the Green- wood place we saw tracks leading from the ate. We saw Greenwood cutting some wood. e would give us no food or money, ana I had bad blood for him. We took Greenwood into the house. When Mrs. Greenwood returned I nelpad her into the house. As she complained of a headache, I gave her some medicine I had with me, After the crime was committed we went to the German House in Napa and inquired for Knox. Aiter returning to the Greenwood house we went toward Cordelia. Schmidt started toward Benicia. I hid my overcoat and pistol under a biidge. Ithen crossed the water on the boat Solano and went to the What Cheer House in San Francisco. From there 1 went to Bakersfield and the southern portion of the Etate. Mrs. Weyse was again recalled by the defense. She testified that two months subsequent to the time she heard the con- fession of Wiiliam Moore she received a letter from Moore explanatory of the con- fession. The testimony was objected to on the part of the prosecution on the ground that the time of Treviewing the testimony was too remote from the time the confession was made. The objection was sustained. Julius Desdier, who was proprietor of the California Hotel, at the corner of Cali- fornia and Kearny street in 1891, testified that Moore had l!oprd at his place on January 27, 189l This testimony was stricken out as toovague. Martin Kerr, who has had charge of the What Cheer House in_8an Francisco, said that Moore, under the name of William Smith, ltofinfid with him on February 10, 1891. C. L. Jubnson, a policeman of San Fran- cisco, testified that in 1893 the defendant had in his possession a false beard. testimony was stricken out, as it was given 100 long after the commission of the mur- der. This closed the case for the prose- cution. The defense asked for further time, and court adjourned until to-morrow morning, SEID BACK ~MERICANIZED.

Delegates to the State Alliance Discusses Topics of Interest to Producers. SACRAMENTO, CaL., Nov. 17.—All day long delegates of the Siate Farmers' Alliance from all portions of California have been in sesston in tbis city, and they have transacted an immense amours of routine business. The chair was occupled by J. L. Gilbert of Fresno, State lecturer of the alliance, who acted as president. Nearly all the morning session was de- voted to listening to reports submitted by State Lecturer Gilbert, E. M. Wardall, chairman of the State executive commit- tee, State Agent J. M: Moore and the sec- retary and treasurer. The main subject of discussion during the afternoon session was the Alliance Mutual ILife Insurance plan. {When the alliance attempts to take tire risks among the members great oppo- sition is created by the recular fire insur- ance companies. The alliance believes it i has a right fo take fire risks, thus keeping the money among the members and help- ing them- along, Thomas V. Cator, attorney for the alli- ance, was 1n attendance and stated that while he was fully assured in his own mind that if the matter was brought be- fore the Supreme Court a decision would be rendered in favor of the ailiance, still there could be no doubt but that the alli- ance would have to contend with sdverse legislation during the coming session in cave the subject was brought before the Supreme bench, so it; was concluded to make no further contest. The alliance has a number of co-opera- | tive schemes on hand, all of which are | | under dissussion. One in particular isthe | establishing of a tannery with a new sys- | tem of euring hides; but while discussion | on these questions have taken a wide range, nothing uefinite has been decided upon. At the session to-morrow it will prob- | ably bedecided to convert all sub-alhances into county alliances, to meet guarterly. As yet no committee has been appointed to draftresolutions, and possibly none will be selected. It is believed that thealliance will decide to indorse certain bills in favor of labor organizations now pending before Congress, notably one favoring the sailors’ union. TSR e UTAH BALLOTS CAST FOR NAUGHT Recent Election Declared by a County Attorney to Have Been Uncon- stitutional. SALT LAKE, Uran, Nov. 17.—County Attorney Whittemore in an opinion made to the County Commissioners, sitting as a board' of canvaesers checking election returns, says the recent election in this State was unconstitutional. The consti- | tution provides that elections shall be by secret ballot, while the election law passed by the last Legislature made it imperative that the judges of election should number each ballot, the figures being placed on the corner of the Australian ballot, the corner then being turned over and sealed with mucilage, not to be opened except in | case of a contest. This, the attorney says, is contrary to the provisions of the consti- tution, and as the judges all over the State followed the law he makes the rul- ing stated. Should the case be carried to_the cour! ana bis judgment be sustained it mea: that the three electors, the Congressman and the members of the next Legislature, | together with every county and precinct officer in the State, would hold over until a new election law'could be passed by the old Legislature convened in special ses- sion, and also that no United States Sena- tor would be chosen this winter. The election was so overwhelmingly Demo- cratic, however, that it is not believed likely that any movement will be made for political reasons pure and simple, because public sentiment here is decidedly against such procedure. ac Sl On Trial at dan Jose. SAN JOSE, CaL, Nov. 17.—The trial of R. B. Fox, on a charge of attempting to murder Deputy Constable Lane at Los Gatos several months ago, began in Jud.e Lorigan’s court to-day. Fox, who had been arrested for beating his wife, was released from jail on condition that he would leave town. He returned after a few days, and was lying in_wait with a pistol to shoot his wife when Deputy Con- stable Lane attempted to arrest him. He resisted arrest and fired several shots at Lane, one of which went through the sleeve of his coat. e b Oy Los Angel Damage Suit. LOS ANGELES, CaL., Nov. 17.—The trial of a suit for $40,000 damages, brought by Julius Kolbig against the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, was begun in the Superior Court to-d: Kolbig states that in 1889 Los Angeles River overflowed its banks, breakine through a levee and damaging the old Nadeau winery property, of which he then had possession. The cause of this overflow, the plaint:ff allege was negligence in the construction of bridge across the river by the Southern Pacific, so that it proved an obstruction to the rush of wate: Aot Warrant for Walthali’s Arvest, SAN JOSE, CaL., Nov. 17.—Deputy Con- stable Castro to-day swore to a complaint in Justice Dwyer’s court charging J.

PHILLIPS, i E B00H FOR LD VSTH DSTRCT Wright Act Decision Acts as an Impetus for ' Improvements. Capital Ready for Investment in Irrigation System Schemes. The Only Obstacle Is the Possibility of a Continuance of Litigation. D SAN DIEGO, CaL, Nov. 17.—Tbe Linda Vista irrigation district bas taken on new life since the United States Supreme Court’s decision sustaining the Wright law. Already telegrams have been received by the directors offering to negotiate for the bonds of the district, and Colonel J, P. Jones, one of ths di- rectors, said this morning that there was capital mow waiting and ready to take hold of the district bonds, build the dam and construct a water system as fast as men and money could do it. Colonel Jones said: “There is but one obstacle in the way. Some of the large land-owners on whom the tax will fall rather heavily at first may not stop to think of the untold advan- tages to be derived from ths final settle- ment of this question by the highest tribunal in the land, and may wish, | therefore, to try to tie up matters fora atill longer period. This they can do if they want t6, and while the result would be against them ineviiably in the long run, still some one may throw this into the courts. “‘However, I feel much better since I had a conversation with Mr. Boal of the San ‘Diego Land and Town Company, which owns 5000. or 6000 acres in Linda Vista. Mr. Boal eays, if we can secure capital to go ahead and work, that his company will walk up to the counter and pay its pro rata. As the Land and Town Company is the largest owner in the dis- trict, I am satisfied that all the others will come around all right, for we will have the money to begin work very shortly. “The first thing to be done. I believe, will be to begin work on the Pamo dam. When that is completed to the height of 154 feet it will be capable of impounding from 3000 to mincfies of water, sufficient to last the district for many years to come. This dam is twenty-four miles by wagon road from here, and to_build the dam to the height indicated will cost now about $240,000, although three vears ago it would have cost more than $300,000.” RIVERSIDE, Cir., Nov. 17.—The de- cision of the Bupreme Court in the Wright irrigation law case, while hailed with de- light by the bondholders of the irrigation districts in this couniy, means confis- cation to the land owners, at least in the Alessandro and Perris districts. In these the bonded indebtedness amounts to such a figure that land-owners cannot pay the interest and the money to provide for a sinking fund and expenses of the district. More than this, the irrigation system is still incomplete und it is out of the ques- tion to raise more money to continue the work. The decision means that the inter- est and sinking fund must be provided for, and many fi:na‘ownun will be com- pelled to give up their land along with years of labor and all improvements. The only hope for the people is that the courts may declare the bonds invalii becauss of irregularity of issue and the failure of the Bear Valley Company to keep its con- tracts with the people.
