BOOTH - TUCKER'S FARM. Beet-Sugar Charity Colony Salinas Valley to Start Next Week. Commander Booth-Tucker of the Sal- vation Army, who arrived here from tne East Thursday, went down to S ledad yesterday with a party of Siivationists and members of the citizens’ colonizim committee to inspect the lan s offered for the army’s beet-sugar farm in the Salinas Vatley and to conclude arrangements for Big in | starting the work nexi week of putting in the crop. The commander is en’husiastic over the scheme. He declares that the President and the V .ce-Presiient of the United States are favorably impressed with it. From twenty-three States he received offers aggragatinz 100.000 acres of fertile land on which to put the 3 000,000 persons constituting the great army dependent in the country solely upon chsrity., The Santa Fe Railroad, notably sevral compauies, offered land and other assistance. LITTLE HENRY ZIMAT Is Likely to Be a Cripp’e for Life Owing 1o a Elow Pe Says He Reczived frem a Man Named Citron. Tie two little fellows were playing in | the kitchen of their home, which is just over that of Citron. Of course, childiike they were a little noisy. This annoyed Citron, and he started up the back stairs | after them. The boys heard nim coming and locked the door. Unable to get in that way, he started to the front door. | This he wrenched open and mounted the | steps. Little Henry becoming frightened, | took refuge under the bed. Citron. after kicking L:m once, pulied him out and | administered another kick on the cbild’s | knee. He was not satisfied with this but | | proceed:d to box the ears of the other | | boy and pulled his hair. Tien be went| away and left them. When Mrs. Zimat returned she found | i the little fellow crying, and, after finding | | out the facts, atlemypted to remonstrate | | with Citron. He not only denied Il'.e‘ | | charge but straightway began to call Mrs. | Zimat all the vile names he could think of. All this happened about three months | | ago, and for some time the little one's | knee did not puin him, but within the last tew weeks i. began to bother him con- | siderably. His mother took him to the | | polyclinic on Ellis street, and Dr. Regens- | burger lookei at the injured knee, He | | called in Dr. Phallip Miils Jones, wizo ap- | plied the X ray. He found that'the bone was badly fractured and that the poor little fellow is hikely to oe a cripple for lite. He is now in the hospital. | ‘The mother of the child, a hard-working woman, is just about distracied with grief. | Her husband, Emanuel Z mat, is em- ployed as a tailor by the Mutler Cloak and | | Buit Company. He does not care 1o say | anything about the case, Lecause Citron is a distant relation of his. C(itron, ot| course, says he did not do it, but yester- | day he moved outof the neighborhood. | The fact tbat the child had to be sent to | | the hospital seemed to worry him but little, and he told litile Lsuis, so the | mother says, that he would come up and | | burt his mother if anything were maae | known, so she would have to be sent to the hospital to keep Henry company. Tuis is not the first trouble between the two families. Some time ago OCitron’s little girl and Henry were piaying in the yard, They got to quarreling and slapped one another with ¢ right good will. The grand.ather of tne child came upstairs and slapped Mrs. Zimat in the face. She took this case 10 court, but at the urgent re- quest of her busband it was dismissed. This time she says it seems almost too much to bear, but the poor woman is powerless. She has no money to engage a lawyer to fizht the case. THE GOVERNOR WAS THERE. His Excellency and Staff ¥njoyed the Mechanics’ Fair Last Night, It was Governor's night at the Me- chanics’ Fair last night and hi: Excel- lency came in military state, attended by most of the resplendent cflicers of his staff. The crowd in the Pavilion was larger | than usual, owing to Governor Budd’s ex- | pected presence, and the special musical programme included “The Battle of Gettysburg,’’ given with the assistance of the pupils of the Franklin Grammar School.

They Did Not Fix Outside Water Rates on Time This Year, Partially Reassured by an Opinion From District Attorney Snook. OarLAND OFFICE SAN FrANcisco CALy, 908 Broadway, Sept. 17. z’ The Board of Supervisors were in great terror this morning when they were in- forered that they werein danger of follow- ing the San Francisco board out of office, and even now :hey do not know whether or not they are at the mercy of any local George K. Fitch, who may bring the necessary suit. February has passed and the Super- visors of Aiame da County did not during that month, nor have they subsequently, fixed the water rates for that portion of the county that is not inciuded in incor- porat d towns and cities. sittle different from tnat of San Fran- cisco, but there is still enovgh doubt in the matter to keep the Supeivisors on the anxious seat. As soon as it became known that the po.itical enemies of 1he present board were trying to discover that they had been de- relict and thereon base a suit to have them ousted there was consternation at the county building. The Bupervisors and county officials are more or less agitated when a Grand Jury 1s in existence, but that was not sufficient to account for the uneasiness to-day. County Clerk Jordan was requested to produce the minutes, and an examination clearly showed that no action was taken during February r garaing the fixing of water rates. This knowledge added to the Supervisors’ dis- comfiture, and the codes were eagerly searched to see where they stood. District Attorney Snook was sought and bis interiretation of the statute was eagerly await d. He somewhat reassured them by reading the law and quoting the section ‘that says “when- petiiioned’’ by the residents ol an outside district the Supervisors must fix the nater rates, This year there was no petition filad and no rates were fixed. There 1s a doubt as 10 whether tne stat- ute makes it necessary to file a petition every year or simply once for a district, after wh.ch it becomes the duty of the board to fix rates annually thereafter. This matter is under consideration, and may lead to a startling development. The Supervisors profess to feel quite easy regarding the matter, but they are nevectheless considerably worried. ————— o= Fear Yel.ow Fever, OAKLAND, CAL,, Sept. 17.—Drs, John Morse and D. D.

BASSETT EVEN ON HONTINGTON “0ld Pard” Says That His “ Ancient Enemy” Is Beaten. Wanted Orcs to Bond Water- Front for Twenty Millions, “ The Strip” Too Wet for Railroads and Too Dry for £team- boats. OarrAND CFFICE SAN FraNcisco CALL,% 908 Broadway, Sept. 17. J. M. Bassett, ex-City Councilman, the ©0Old Pard’ ¢f numberless communica- tions to the press, and who was at one time in the secret council of the Southern Pacific, has pronounced his oninion on the Supreme Court dacision regarding the water front. “I did not rush into print on this occasion,”” said Mr. Bassett, “‘because I wanted to know just what the decision meant. I have carefully read it all over, aud am, I think, able to speak in- telligently. * “The decision is more on the side of the people than I anticipated,” be said. “'Since the boast of Mr. Huntington that he confidently relied on the judicial arm for the protection of what he termed his right, and the many decisions that would seem to imply that there was something | more than wind in his boast, I have grown distrusiful of all courts when considering issues in which the contest is between the people and a monopoly or trust or corpor- ation. “This decision, however, while a gool deal like the old method of diviling prize money—sifting it through aladder, giving the ofticers what goes through and divid- ing what does not among the sailors and marines—does give the people scmething and cuts the expectations of the railroad probably one-halt or three- It does not do anythine for the city, whic gets nothing for the $60,000 or $70,C00 expended in the pro ecution of a suit thai never should have been com- menced. I say never should because at an early stage of the suit brought bv the raiiroad company against Doane, Dam- eron, Davie and myself we again and again besought the City Council to inter- vene in our case, which could bave been done without costing the taxpayers a sin- gle 10-cent piece. The city should, and had she been fairly dealt with would, have been a defendant with us in a suit in which we nonsuited the railroad com- pany. Buta majority of the members of the Council thought the railroad would win and they fell over themselvas to get on the winning side. “The State, though not a party in the case submitted in the Supreme Court, really gets away with the prize. The rai'- road company is awarded the strip of land between the ordinary high and low tide marks. Insome places this strip is 100 vards wide and in some places not over fifteen feet in width. Beyond the low tide line the State takes possession. Whatthe railroad peovple will do with this narrow strip it wiil be difficult to determine. It cannot bufld a wharf or reach deep water without paying wuarfage to the State. Tue harbor line when the bulkheads will be built is always and everywhere bevond the railroad company’s possessions. The situation is precizely the same as in San Francisco, with the exception that over there the Stale sold for building purposes what is here given to the railroad. ““There will be a difference of oninion as to the city’s right to open streets across the railroad’s all long and no wide patrimony. I believe that an investiga- tion will show that all streets within the city’s limit prior to 1868 were dedicated to the low-tide limit. But this may not prove to be as fuvorable to the city as I hovpe it will. “In my judgment the decision should have followed the lines of the Chicago de- cislon, and if the case goes to the United States Supreme Court I belleve the "State will hold to the ordinary high-tide limit. This is the opinion of Judges Henshaw and Harrison. And to Judge Hensbaw, for his consistency, I want to return thanks and say that [ wipe out all mem- ory of the many jabs he gave us while trying our ca-e in the Superior Court. “The decision of the Supreme Court scems to kave been formulated with a view to throwing every possible obstruc tion in the way of appeal As all con- testants get a slice of the pie—the rity getting the basin east of the outlet of Lake Merritt—each wiil hesitate to appeal, be- cause of fear of losing what they have. i The railroad neople pre.end that they will appeal. They won’t do it, because they know if this case ever goes to the United States Supreme Court the Chicago deci- sion will be followed and they will lose their wet and dry ribbon. “Doane, Dameron, Davie and myself have won out. If the State or the city had found favor with the majority of the court, we would have been utterly routed. The statute of limitations does not run sgainst the State or the city. It does run against the railroad com- pany, and we take its ribbon between ‘Webster and Alice streets by adverse pos- session. We have filled in and buikheaded the entire area, and both the high and low tides are designated by our bulkhead. At the bulkhead, however, we meet the State, and, like the railroad people, must pay tribute if we go to navizabie water. “'If there is no appeal from this dec’s on itisa good thing all around. The State will dountless go ahead and build bulk- heads and wharves, This will do much for the city. The railroad will sell or abandon its wet and dry ribbon portion of it. It is too wet for railroading and too dry for steamboating. Individ- ually and vpersonally I um some- thing more than satisfied. [ brought about this struggle for the rights of the people, and I have stayed with it from start 1o finish. It has cost me a consider- able sum of money and some years of hard work. 1 never expect a return of my money nor a dollar in the way of compen- sation for my time and labor. While I have done the State and the people some service, I have made it lively and expen- sive for mine ancient enemy, Mr. Hunt- ington. I promised him six years ago that I would beat him ont of the O.ak'and water front and Iflatter myselfthat I have redeemed my promise. O what he wal about to bond jor $20,000,000, he now has narrow strip between tne devil and the deep sea, haif the time under water and the other bhalf a racing ground for sand- pipers.”” Professionals Denounced.

The Boogar Murder Case Will Be Given to the Jury To-Day. 0sKLaND OFFICE 8aAN Fra 908 Broad way, Sept. Attorney George A. Knight and Judge Ogden clushed in the Buogar trial this afterncon and for nearly half an hour the passage at arms was very lively. Mr. Knight was makine his address to the jury, and he took occasion to say some sharp things about the charges of the Judge to the jury in the previous two trials of the prisoner, Michael Collins. The attorney said that to repeat such in- structions would be *a direct insult”’ to the jury. This did not please Judge Ogden, who replied to Mr. Kuight in a very pointed manner. “During the previous trials of thecase,” said Mr. Knight, “'the court has stated to the jury that they must not permit them- selves to be swayed by sympathy. Thisis entirely wrong, and is as much a direct insult to the intelligence of the jury asit would be for me to sav to the court, sit- ing alone as a court, *Your Honor must not let himself be swayed by sympathy, or by the wealth or poverty of the de- fendant.’ Such language would be insult- ing to the court. It is no less so to a jury. I now wish to call the attention of the court—"" “Mr. Knight, you will not be permiltea At this time to lecture the court,” said Judee Ozden. ‘I bave no desire to lecture the court, eaid Mr. Knight, “but I have a right to sefer to a portion of tne testimony and 1o ree that the record is put straight in the syes of the jury,” said Knight. “If anything was wrong, Mr. Knight,’ said the courr, ou have the privilege 0.* taking an exception. When you say that the court hasno right to tell a jury that it must not be swayed by sympathy you know that you are not correctly stating the law, which expressly requires that such an instruction be given.” I wish to call the court’s attention to a portion of the evidence—" “Mr. Knight, are you addressing the court or the jury ?'’ asked the court. **When I sddress the court,”” said Mr. Knight, **I turn my back on the jury, and when I address the jury I turn my back on the court. I never talk taa jury over the shoulders of the court nor to the court over the shoulders of the jury.” Judge Ogden was very much disturbed at Mr. Knignt’s argument, and when the attorney told the r porter to be careful in | noting his exceptions, the Judge said, “That is your privilege, take an exception, and another one, and more if vou wish,” to all of which Mr. Knight excepted. Finally Mr. Knight and the court forgot each other and the attorney ccnfined his remarks to the jury. The jury will be charged by the Judge te-morrow morning. This is Collirs’ third trial. At each ol the previous occasions the jury disagreed. OITY ASSESSMENT. An Increase of Half a Miilion in the Total Valuation.
