4 THE N FRANCISCO CALL, § < FRESNO'S FIRE LADDIES REBEL Indignant at Appoint- ments of the City Trustees. Exciting Incidents Attend a Special Meeting to Reorganiza. Trustee Spinney Assaulted by an Ex-Policeman, Who Bo'dly Defles Arrest. FRESNO, Car, Sept. 30.—The City Trustees held a special meeting to-night and it was attended with considerable ex- citement. The purpose of the session, as ~tated in Tur CaLnt, was to reorganize the Police and Fire departments, and as the 1eport that the meeting was to be heid had spread quickly in the latter partof | the afternoon a big ecrowd was present to watch the proceedings. Many were mem- bers of the Volunteer Fire Department, end mutterings were frequently heard among them disapproving the action of | the Democratic majority. Trustee Spinney seemed to be the prin- cipal object of indignation, and demon- siration of tnis was made when be was assauited by ex-Policeman J. F. Barrett outside the door of the Council chamber immediately after the adjournment of the board. It bad been expected that Spinney, : ssisted by Trustees Chittenden and Mec- Vey, his Democratic associates, would muoke a clean sweep of all ihe Republican «mployes of the city, as he threatened to (o when he flopped from tie Republican to the Democratic fold some time ago, but for some reas or other he only dis- charged two firemen, E. M. Cochran and N. F. Tompkins, driver and nozzleman respectively of tne chemical fire engine. He did not molest the personnel of ihe police department. Edward A. Stam and C. H. Fay were appointed to take the places of the “fired” firemen. Stam is not a memberof the reguiar department, and the act mujority apjointing him will ia nrobability cause serious troubie. volunteers are highly indignant because tbe Trustees hava ignored the privilege that has been accorded them of selecting the mea for the paid positions. The fire- men declare that while they will not dis- organ:z: they will not act. Tbey will not work at fires, they say. While 1t is not belfeved that sufficient men will not be found to man the apparatus in the event of fire, the feeli of the volunteers caused by the arbitrary action of the Trustees will result in seri- ously impairing the efficiency of the de- partment, The attack by ex-Policeman Barrett on Spinney was an exciting incident. Bar- rett was one of the officers recently let out by Spinney in the Trustees’ crusade against Republican employes. The ex- noliceman is also a volunteer of the Fire Department, and the seleciion of Stam as driver aroused his wrath against Spinney. The trustee was standing outside the door of the meeting hall talking with some friends a few minutes after the board had adjourned, when Barrett came up. Heisa big powerful man, and brush- inz the bystanders aside he made a pass at Spinney. The ex-policeman was too far away, however, and he did not reacn the trustee by three or four inches. Bar- rett used very abusive language and Spin- ney tried to escape into the police head- quariers, where Officer R. P. Rus-ell, one of his appointees from the Fifth Wari, and nis friend, were on duty. City Mar- shal Woy stepped up and told Barrett to consider himseif under arrest, and to ap- pear in Justice Austin’s court in the morning. At this point Policeman Russell came to the door of ibe headquarters in front of which the disturbance took place and overheard the Marshal tell Barrett to con- sider himself under arrest. Officer Rus- seil then directed Policeman Antone George, who was present, to take Barrett to jail. Of course Russell had no author- ity over George and the latter made no move to carry out the instructions. Here Barrelt thought he saw Russell reach his band to his hip pocket as if to draw a pistol. The ex-policeman had been hearing reports of statements made by Russell that he would use a gunon him (Barrett) if neces-ary, and so when 1he officer made the hip- pocket movement the retired official turned his attention from Spinney to Russell. “You pnll that gun and T'll make you eat it,”’ declared Barrett, and then he violently abused Russell. He dared the policeman to attempt to take him to jail oreven to lay a hand on him., Russeil aid not dare and did not move while the angered man expressed his op Lion of him in very uncomplimentary terms. Finally bystanders interfered erd the tumult subsided. Democratic iriends came 1o the roscue of Spinney and es. corted nim down to Harry Doble's saloon, waence he was taken home in a hack, ac- companied by James A. Ward as body- guard. HIS FanILy HUNGRY. Thomas Irving Poached on the Country Club’s 70,600 Acres. SAN RAFAEL, CaL, Sept. 30.—For killing a deer on the Country Club’s pre- serves in the northern part of Marin County Thomas Irving, a young man liv- ing near Olema, was vigorously. prose- cuted by the memberss of the club in Jue- tice Edwin Gardener’s court. Irving ad- mitted baving shot the deer, but said thay hetraded it off for bread with which to feed his wife and children, who were 1n want. The case has attracted great interest, not only in Marin County but smong mem- bers of various <porting clubs owning large nreserves in different sections of the State. The Country Club has something like 70,000 acres of land 1n Marin County and is one o' the wealthiest hunting organiza- tions in the State. The case of Irving was tried before a jurv. After being out overan hour the lury could not agree and was discharged, standing 6 10 6. The attorneys for the Country Ciub state that they intend to try the case over again.

Accused of Perverting the Law to Serve His Own Purposes. Charges of Malfeasance About to Be Made, With a View to His Removal. SANTA MONICA, CaL, Sept. 30.—This town has a Marshal who is a law unto himeelf, and the people who love good order and justice are not proud of G. B. Dexter. On several occasions, which are matters of record in the Justice Court, he has without reason or excuse failed to serve warrants of arrest and has thereby assisted offenders to go unwhipped of justice, to the indignation of the people. His peculiar course of action in -etilng himself up as Judge and jury in connec- tion with his executive duties has con- tinued for some time past. It was not, however, until to-day that it was made public. As the result of this pubticity proceedings will shortly be instituted looking to his trial and removal from office on a zharge of maifeasance. Back of these facts lies a story of n- trigue. It is charged that the gambling and other 1awless elements have combined to force out of office Justice of the Peace T. H. Wells, who is a representative of the ciass who stand for law, order and respec- tability. Itisanotorious fact that during the past season card sharps and confidence men have operatel here openly on an ex- tensive scule, to the sorrow of many a victim. There areordinances against such practices, but no attempt was made to in- terfere with the bunko men. One of the most flagrant cases against Marshal Dox- terisin connection with the warrant is- | sued by Justice Wells on the comnrlaint of 1. A. Willis, a_preminent citizen, for the arrest of Edwin James. An examination of the records of the court shows that the warrant for the ar- rest of James was issued December 4 18068 The char-e was fastdriving. Willis was knocked down and run over by James, re. ceiving injories which confinad him to s bed for s-veral weeks. The warrant was placed in the hands of Marshal Dexter on the day it was fssued. On September 16, or nine months the Justice without explanation of why it had not been served. As a precaution ageinst any charge that he had not ful- filled his duty in the matter Justice Wel!s made this entry on his recosd: Sept. 16, 1897. The warrant of arrest in this action, which was Geliver-d to the Town Mar- shal on December 4. 1896, was this day re. turned by him without even the date of the receint by the Marshal, or anything cise writ- ten thereon. To Mr. Willis the Marshal explained his failure to arrest James by stating that James resided outside of the town limits, Willis declares that James wasin town almost dai'y and that there was ample opportunity to arrest him if Marshal his duty. Several similar instances are of record. Marshal Daxrer is just now out of town, but on his return he will probably have to answer to c¢harees ot malf asance in offi~e. Section 772 of the Penal Coae pro- vides that where an officer fails to perform Court end removed. Italso provides for the payment of $500 to the person who files the comnlaint on the convic'ion of the accused cfficial. It is this provision oi reward that has hitherto prevented complaint being made against Marshal Dexter. Justice Wells was reluctant tc speak on the subject, but when pressed for the facts simply turned to his record. He de- nounced the conduct of the Marshal as an outrage on the community and said that if no one else took action against the ders- lict officer he would do so himself. He would have done so sooner, he said, but felt it would | ave greater weight if taken up by some other interested person. While Mr. Willis feels deeply aggrieved over the way justice was thwarted in his case, h ia he felt ditlident about seek- ing the removal of Dexter, owing to the fact that the law allowed $500 to the suc- cessful prosecuting witness in such cases. He feared people might misconstrue his action. The regular meeting of the Town Coun- cil will take place on Monday next. N. A. Roth, a member of the Council. when interview said the situation had not before been known to that body. He said he believed sonie nction ought to be taken by the Council. Various opinions are ex- pressed as to the motive for Marehal Dex- ter's course. The most generally accepted is that he has neglected to serve warrants issued by Jusiice Wells 5o as to force peo- pie 1o transact their business with Justice A. M. Guidinger, and so freeze out Wells, No one, however, intimates that Guidin- ger is a party to this scheme. NEWS OF SAN JOSE. . M. Gubiotti Indicted for Embezzling a Sum of Money From Faul Masson. SAN JOSE, CaL., Sept. 30.—The Grand Jury to-day returned an indictment for embezzlement against A. M. Gubiotti, who until recently was engaged in the liquor business here. and a wartant has been issued for bis arrest. The charge was preferred by Paul Masson, the wine merchant for whom Gubiotti was form- erly a bookkeper. Messon cleims that Gubiotti appropriated sums of money az- gregating several bundred dollars to his own use whife in hisemplor. The par- ticular cffense on which the indictment was found was committed in November last, when it is alleged Gubloiti misappro- priated $57 50. For the past year Gublotti has been en- ia;ged in the 1 quor business with August enn Jr., on West Santa Clara strect, but a few days azo he dispoved of his interest to Menn. Masson began a civil smt against Gubiotti for the money a short time ago, but the case was subsequently dismissed. The indictment was delivered 10 Judge Lorigan, who directed that it be piaced on the secret calendar and that a warrant be issued. Bail was fixed at $2000. Gubiotti was out of town to-day and ihe warrant was not served. — Cheistinn cisntists Tr ated the Child.

A CROP THAT PAYS FARMERS. Statesmen Cannon and Berry Say Americans Must Raise Their Sugar. FROM SLUICEBOX T0 SUGAR-BIN. | The Distinguished Visitors Chew the | Sweet Plant and Discuss Ha- waiian Affairs, A delegation of representative men, all | well-known Congresemen, huve just made a thorough inspection of the best sugar | plant at Watsonville, where they were | tne guests of John D. Spreckels, The party consisted of Josepn G. Cannon of ILinois, A. S. Berry of Kentucky, H. C. Loudenslager of New Jersey, E. F. Loud of San Francisco, W. H. Cornwall of | Honolulu and L. A. Consmiller of New York. The Congressional visitors, having just returned from the Hawailan Islands, | where they made a thorough siuay of the cane-sugar industry and of economic con- ditions generally, were greatly interested in beet sugar and 1ts possivilities, ‘I'he party watched the process from the moment the beet fell into the sluice that carries it to the mill until it was thrown | bot and moist from the centnifugal ma- | chine in the form of sugar. Berry pulled out an immense Kentucky jack-knife and s'ashed into a score of tempting beets, sampling them until his swest tocth was satistied, forcing Cannon and Loudens- iager 1o chew beets until they were tnreat- | ened with colic. And when he bade fara. | well to the whirling machinery he carried with him an armful of beets and a sucktul | of sugar-beet seed, declaring that he would prove that Kentucky can rival California in the beet crop. A more practical, painstaking and in- quisitive committee than these national | iawmakers never plied Superintendent Waters with questions, and when they | had finished tneir notebooks contained many pages of valuable information. “I" think this industry opens up vast possibilities,”” said Congressman Berry, “and if there is anything growing be- neath the stars and stripes that needs a ! bounty or other form of Government ald | it is this. In some way Americn ought to | raise the sugar consumed by Americans. I had no idea of the extent of this en- terprise or the benefit it has been to the State. It has surely demonstrated that it | is immensely profitable to farmers to | raise the beet crop.” Messrs, Cannon and Loudenslager were | cqually enthu-iastic and said they could see no reason why Americans should not | within the next ten years rais- enough | beets is a poiularindustry. | said Mr. | trol by strengthening Pearl Harbor.

Mr. Spreckeis added thet when the Sa- Linas factory bi.lfh" operations Caliiornia will produce all ibe sugar consumed in the consi States. Loudeaslager—What has been the high- est yield of beets per acre aud what do you pay the farmer for beets? 1 Waters—koriy-ssven tons have been Zrown on cne acre. We pay $4a ton for | beets, and the percentuge of sugar in them is 151016 The raising of b ets, including freight to the mill, costs about $2a ton, | 50 the farmer cl ars about 52 per cent on the investment. The average yicld en= ables the farmer to clear aboui $24 per acre. Berry—Tells us how many persons are en aged in the industry here. J. D. Spreckels—Tuere are nearly 500 farmers engaged in the work this year, 230 men in the lactory and about 120 in the yards and outs ae, One farmer, with o little extra help during & part of the sea- | son, can care for fifty acres. Raising | Mr. Waters | had applications for 22,000 acres this year, but could acc:pt but 12,0.0. When the new factory is completed ut Salinas. capacity being three times greate that of the Watsonville plant, there wi be far greater opportunities for the peopl Cannon—iiow many beets can you han- dle aday? Waters—We are now crushing about | 1000 tons every 24 hours, producing about 156 1ons of sug: day. It costs us about $400 an hour 10 run ihe business. The Congressmen were greatly inter- ested in the secd question and were sur- | prised to learn thut the seed comes from | | Germany. | It requires about eight pounds of seed | to the acre,” said Supe:rintendent Waters, | “and we used seventy-five tons of seea this year.” | Congressman Berry asked how many tons of beets were produced in 1he valley last year. A reference to the books showed that the factory nandled 155,000 tons. “Lshall go home with definite and satis- | factory ideas about this great industry,” Cannon, *“aud when the sugar problem comes before us I shall be able to tell my ongressmen how I have seen this simple ind ustry grow to gigantic provoriions, furnish sustenance to an army of industrious farmers .nd factory | hands and give promise of great possip:li- ties in the near future.”’ | [ had read in some Eastern paper,’ added Congressman Berry, “‘that Japanese | labor infested the business, but I have not seen or heard of a Japanywhere. I never | saw or talked witha finer-looking or m re intelligent crew of American citizens and white laborers ttian tnose I have seen | here in Watsonville at the factory.” Apropos of sugar, the discussion drifted | to the Hawaiian canefieids, then to lia- wail and annexation. The Congressmen 21l spoke cautiously on that subject, and all desire | to be quoted as non-committal | | or “'on the fence.” Mr. Cannon said: “I saw inteiligent na- tives, men who read and write weli; but I | saw no capacity for self-government among them.

In this respect the devotees of the latter, al- though it was generally concedea that the moist ground would make it much easier 10 get within gunshot of auail, were in the majority and many whose firstin- ciination was to strike out for the hills de- cided to take to the swamps.

Several counties have made changes in this respect very | recently, and outside the bay counties no- body seems to have a very definite idea of the county restrictions. Another thing the dealers agree upon is the increased sale of higher grade fire- arms and equipments. Trage is reported 10 be much better than for several years, and they argue that this is a certain indi- cation of returning presperity. A man can do without a shotgun, or get along with his old one batter than he can with | almost anything else. In consequence dealers are about the first to feel a finan- cial depression.

Svery importer seen yesterday stated the strongest terms that it is the gener opinion of all the merchants that the standard adopted by the Tea Commission is mot 100 high and that instead of wish- ing it lowered they would prefer to have it raised. It is further contended by the merchants that there is not the slightest trouble existing beiween them and Col- lector Jackson. The meeting of the im- porters with the Collector Wednesda: w of f Mr, THE CALL, was held at the request Jackson, who desired to get il he tea men as to whether Mr. Tooh: opinion in regard to the rejected tea was a correct one. Mr. Toohey’s decision that the tea was not up to the standard had been appeaied from to the appraisers at New York and they had reversea it. The local 1nspector still claimea that he was right and wanted tea experts here to test the samples. The committee appointed at the moet- ing Wednesday met yesterdaay mornine, and after a thorough test of the sam found that Mr. Toohey was not j ed in relusing entrancs to the tea. 1o a lay- men this decision looks like a boomerang ior the tea inspector, as he seemed to ex- pect vind:cation at the bunds of (he com- mittee, and it was supposediy at his sug- gestion that the importers were called in to give their ideas on the subject. The members o the commitiee hold that tnere is no reflection on Mr. Toohey on account of the result of their investigation and in- sist that his mistake in refusing the tea was one which any expert might have made. The raport of the committee, which will be givea to Coliector Jackson to-day, is as foliows: The committee of five, appointed yesterday for the purpose of examiniug ceriain tess which weie rejected by the in<pector at this port and upon appeal rece.ved by the Board of Geueral Apprai.ers at York leave w0 report as tollows: We have earciully “nine samples submitted in comparison with the U 4 States Govern- men. standards.
