ATTORNEY FEE ~HELD FOR TRIAL Madera Lawyer to An- swer to a Forgery Charge. Accused of Having Altered a Claim Against His Client. Sensational Outgrowth of the Finan- cial Difficulties of Watkins & Prosser. Special Dispatch to The Call. MADERA, Feb. 8.—The preliminary examination of Francis A. Fee, charged with forgery, which has been in pro- gress at Madera since last Friday, was brought to a close this afternoon at 2 o’clock. Fee was held for trial. The charge against the accused grew out of a transaction some time ago be- tween the Commercial Bank of this place and Watkins & Prosser, a lumber firm of this county. The lumber firm became somewhat embarrassed finan- cially, and, among other creditors, it owed the Commercial Bank a consider- able sum. In the transaction of which the alleged forgery is said to have been the outgrowth the Commercial Bank was to assume all the liabilities of the lumber firm and take the property con- rected with the lumber business off the lumber firm's hands, and thus reach some amicable adjustment of the in- debtedness of the lumber firm to the bank. Among other liabilities which it claimed the bank was to assume under this $2000 due from the lumber firm to Ros- enthal & Kutner. Prosser, one of the lumber firm, and the prosecuting wit- n and Attorney R. L. Hargrove, swear positively that the claim of Ros- enthal & Kutner was in the agreement and list of liabilities. The defendant, Fee, is charged with having tampered with the instrument, by removing the names of Rosenthal & Kutner. Fee was acting as the attorney for the Commercia! Bank at the time the al- leged alteration was made. Much contradictory testimony was given in the investigation, which occu- pied more time than any preliminar examination heretofore held in the county. = The peculiar nature of the charge, besides the rather sensational developments and the prominence of the persons directly and indirectly con- cerned, has occasioned considerable in- terest. At the termination of the in- vestigation the defendant was held to answer before the Superior urt, his bail being fixed at $2000. J0LAS TRIAL, Continued from First Page. Dreyfus certain questions in the inter- est of justice. 8 The Advocate-General, M. Vancassel, argued that the court could not read- judicate facts already legally decided, and, turning to M. ., he exclaimed: “You say you do not know the law Well, we do know the law, and will have it re- spected, with the aid of a jury, in which we have the most complete con- fidence.” This apostrophe evoked remarks of approval. M. Laborie responded with \\\\\‘\\‘\\\\\\\\\ * WOODLAND'S NATIVE DAUGHTERS. \\\\\'\flm’.{?[{lfl/};,0}'57’/!/,/5;;/ - Miss Gertrude McConnell Instailed as President of the Yolo City’s Parlor. WOODLAND, Feb. 8.—The officers elect of Woodland Parlor No. Native Daughters of the Golden West, were installed this evening by Dis- trict Deputy Miss Harriet Lee. The 90, event was of considerable interest, as these officers will hold until after the session of the Grand Parlor,which will be held in this city next June. The president, Miss Gertrude McConnell, was unanimously chosen on account of her peculiar fitness.for the position. good parliamentarian and presides with grace and dignity, and She is a fluent talker, a is just such a president as is needed in the chair during Grand Paslor week. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. F. McConnell. Handsome, accom- plished and with an enviable local reputation as a vocalist, she is very popular among her associates. The officers installed were: Past dent, Miss Gertrude McConnell; first vice-president, Miss May Dexte: president, Miss Birdie Morris; presi- sec- ond vice-president, Mrs. Nelle Coil; third vice-president, Miss Bertha Gad- dis; recording secretary, Miss Harriet S. Lee; financial ggcretary, Miss Cora Porter; treasurer, Miss Madge BEllis; outside sentinel, Miss Nellie Burnbaugh; Adams; trustees, Mrs. Mattie McNair, Miss Lul Smith. . marshal, Miss Tillle Schluer; inside sentinel, Miss Mattie lu Shelton, Miss Margaret is | agreement was a claim of about | great warmth, protesting against the obstruction of which his client was the victiin. Finally M. Zola said he would submit to the law and to justice, add- ing: “I do not revolt against the law, as my words have implied. What I want, gentlemen, is that you end your hypocritical schools.” This remark was greeted with shouts of “Bravo! bravo!” and murmurs of dissent. The court then decided against the defense, saying that no question not contained in the indictment would be allowed. M. Scheurer-Kestner, who was next examined, said he learned last July that Colonel Picquart had discovered that the borderau had not been written by Dreyfus, and he submitted Major Esterhazy’s handwriting to M. Bertil- lon, who agreed that it was in the same hand as the borderau. Witness suggested to General Gonz that a fresh expert examination be made, but the general dissuaded him from so doing. At this stage of the proceedings, M, Scheurer-Kestner was about to give the gist of the correspondence between General Gonz and Colonel Picquart, showing that General Gonz favored re- opening the Dreyfus case, but the pre- siding Judge ruled that the evidence was inadmissible. M. Laborie then intervened, saying: “I ask that these letters be read in court. M. Zola was aware of the ex- istence of these letters. It is time light is thrown into the case.” The Judge, however, relterated that the letters were inadmissible as pre- vious notice had not been given. This | caused M. Laborie to remark: “There | is still time to communicate them to you and to the jury.” s “You know that is impossible,” re- plied the Judge, “as the law formally forbids it.” ! M. Scheurer-Kestner further said | | that he never mentioned the name of | Esterhazy, except to the Government. But some time later, Mathieu Dreyfus (brother of Alfred Dreyfus) came to him and declared that he also had dis- covered that Esterhazy was the au- thor of the bordereau, whereupon the witness told Mathieu Dreyfus to write to the Minister of War, which he did, denouncing Esterhazy. M. Zola here asked Scheurer-Kestner to give the court the details of his in- terview with the Minister of War, and the witness did so, recounting how he | had begged his old friend to take the | initlative in the matter, adding: *I gave him a fortnight to make up {115 n- | mind, during which time I was sulted as a Prussian.” “Yes,” interjected M. Zola, “as they now treat me as an Italian.” There was much stir in court when | it was announced that M. Casimir- | Perier, the former President of the French Republic, would be the next witness. | When he was called the presiding | judge saide *You swear to speak with- | out animus and fear, to speak the truth | and nothing but the truth—" | | M. Casimir-Perier at this point in- | terrupted the Judge, saying: “Pardon | me. I cannot swear to tell the truth, because I cannot do so. It is my duty not to tell it.” This statement caused a commotion The presiding | Judge resumed: ‘‘The law compels | you, before speaking or refusing to tes- tify, to take the oath.” M. Casimir-Perier the | oath. “‘Can you say,” asked M. Laborfe, “if | when you were President you knew be- fore his arrest that a staff officer was suspected of treason, and that charges | had been made against him?” The presiding Judge intervened, say- ing, “You cannot ask that.” This intervention aroused murmurs in court. Counsel for M. Zola then put another question to M. Cas r-Perier, saying, “Did M. Casimir-Perier know that- a | secret file of papers existed at the War Ministry ?” 1 was not aware of a file of papers concerning Major Esterhazy.” was the reply. ° “Did you,” continued M. “know that a secret document handed to the court martial?” “You cannot ask that question,” in- terrupted the Presiding Judge, a state- ment which caused renewed murmurs | in court. | " “I do not know any facts subsequent | to my Presidency,” said M. Casimir- Perier. “I can only speak as a pri- vate citizen,” which I am willing to do.” | | among the audience. then took Laborie, was “You are setting a noble example,” | replied M. Laborie, “which other wit- nesses have not deemed nt to follow, | since it has been necessary to bring them here by force.” (Applause.) The court then rose, amid great ex- citement and shouts for and against Zola. On leaving the witness-box M. Casi- mir-Perier received a great ovation. There was a big crowd outside the low- er court and after the people were leav- ing the building a man cried: ‘Vive Zola. Down with France!” He was immediately arrested. A tremendous rush followed. M. Zola, on emerging from the jury door, was recognized and obliged to return and seek refuge in the robing rooms, the doors of which were then locked. The crowd remained outside, yelling: “Conspuez Zola,” etec., led by a number of young barristers in their robes, who roughly handled M. Zola’s sympathiz- ers. Until a detachment of republican guards cleared the courtyard there was an immense clamor and shouts of “Down with Zola!"” Long live Zola!” and “Death to Zola.” the last cry dominat- ing the others. The novelist had diffi- culty in keeping his feet amid the surg- ing crowd. ’ In the meantime the police, misun- derstanding their orders, closed the gates and M. Zola thus found himself inside the courtyard, surrounded by a howling, threatening .mob. The police were powerless, and, for a moment, it looked as though he would be lynched, with the friends who formed his body- guard. His friends rallled around him, and eventually the gates were reopened and the police, having been reinforced, escorted M. Zola to the street, while the majority of the mob was confined in the courtyard, shrieking threats against the novelist, who eventually entered a cab and drove quickly away. The women in the crowd were especial- ly violent. A man who cheered for Zola was set upon by a mob, who hustled him to the St. Michzel bridge, where they tried to throw him into the river Seine, but the police were in- ;&;rmed in the nick of time and saved m. The crowd remained in the courtyard and greeted M. Rochefort’s exit with great cries of “Vive I'’Armee” and “Vive la France.” They were eventually dis- persed. D LOME ABUSES THE PRESIDENT Continued from First Page. to-night that the original of the letter may be turned over to the State De- partment in Washington. If it can be shown that the letter is genuine it un- doubtedly will result in Senor Dupuy de Lome getting his passports from | Secretary Sherman.. Mr. < Rubens, in making the letter public, said: - “We know absolutely that this letter is genuine, a man risked his life to ob- tain it. We do not hesitate to acknowl- edge that it was stolen from Canalejas. It is written on the paper of the lega- tion. The handwriting is De Lome’s and the signature is his. He may deny it auntil he is black in the.face, but it is ;[enuine. and everybody who has seen 1t | barities, knows that it is. The man who stole it abstracted it from the envelope, and left the latter. If he had attempted to steal the envelope, or had stolen the en- velope he never would have gotten away with the letter. The stealing of a little correspondence is not an indict- able offense, or, at least it is not extra- ditable, and all is fair in love and war.” FORMER ATTACKS OF SENOR DE LOME. While a Youth He Cast Vile Slurs TUpon the Nation and Its Fair ‘Women, NEW YORK, Feb. 8.—The letter pro- duced by the Junta recalls a former at- tack made by Senor de Lome on the United States, written when he was & young man. It was a youthful in- discretion. The attack of Senor de Lome was contained in a book pub- lished after a tour around the world in 1878, and was -entitled “Madrid a Madrid.” Referring to the landing at San Francisco he said: “We had been told on board steamer all that is usually said concerning United States officials. They are scoundrels and thieves. To strictly comply with custom house regulations | will be of no avail to you.” American women are thus alluded to: “We all know what the woman in the United States is. She is adventurous and bold: She travels alone with full liberty, protected more by fear of law than by respect which she inspires. She is a spendthrift, elegant, and wears the most risky fashions, knowing well that everything becomes her. “Before marriage, as I said -befora, they are more feared than respected. When they are married, how do they behave? Who can tell? People have been inclined to believe they made model wives. I do not think that they are the.worst people in the world, but there are indications that de not com- mend them much.” Again of the future of this republic he said: “Will the United States be able long to retain the cohesion from which the Federal constitution derives all its force, having, as the natipnhas,a government lacking unity and strength as well as a corrupt administration.” The prediction is made in the book that the United States must eventually be dismembered, and that there will be three republics—the East, West and South. L ALL CHRISTENDOM IS SHOCKED BY BARBARITIES. Senator Mason’s Thrilling Plea for the Release of Cuba From Spain’s Clutches. WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.—Three prop- ositions, differing materially as to methods, were presented to the Senate to-day for ,the relief of Cuban insur- gents. Allen of Nebraska offered as an | amendment to the diplomatic and con- | sular appropriation bill a resolution re- cognizing the belligerency of the in- surgents and said that he hoped thus to afford the Senate an opportunity to vote on that proposition. Cannon of Utah offered a resolution urging the President to notify the kingdom of Spain that if it did not recognize the | independence of the Cuban republic | before March 4, 1898, the United States | would recognize the belligerency of the | Cubans and within ninety days there- after would assert the independence of of the Cuban republic. Mason of TIlli- nols followed with a resolution request- ing the President to notify Spain that the Cuban war must cease at once and declare the intention of the TUnited States to restore and maintain peace on the island of Cuba. Both Cannon and Mason gave notice of their intention to speak upon their resolutions to-morrow. Mason’s resolution was preceded by the following preamble: Whereas, The war between Spain and the insurgents of Cuba has continued until | all Christendom is shocked by its bar- | pretended autonomy has been offered by Spain and refused by the Cu- bans in arms; and ‘Whereas, the Spaniards, as a war meas- ure, burned the homes and drove the women and children (since known as con- centrados) into fortified towns, where some of them have been starved, others have been murdered and women and chil- dren have been debauched and treated beyond the power of language to describe; and, ‘Whereas, Daughters of insurgent sol- diers have been sold into houses of in- famy and boys of tender years have been shot as spies, under the form of civilized war; and, ‘Whereas, American citizens have been | driven into the towns and refused an op- | portunity to work, and left to starve as a part of the Spanish war measure, until we were compelled to take, by appro- priating funds of the people of thesUnited States, large syms of money to feed and clothe our citizens and to return them to | our country; and, ‘Whereas, Now has the Spanish war measure of concentration continued so far that the concentrados are unfed and starving, naked and filthy, insomuch that disease and death are among them, and has spread into our own country; and, ‘Whereas, Hundreds of thousands have perished in this way and by this means, while the unholy work of extermination goes on, the slaughter of innocents and noncombatants goes on, the flag of truce has been abandoned and extermination or independence of the insurgents must be the final outcome; and, ‘Whereas, The people of the United States are sending money and food and clothing to-Cuba to ald the dying, which | ought to be furnished by Spain, for the reason that the concentradoes sre the legitimate wards of Spain, having been put in thelr present condition as a Span- ish war measure, and their care would devolve upon Spain and would be so re- garded by every civilized nation in the world, and Whereas, Under the present charity- seeking of the administration, charitably disposed citizens of the United States cannot contribute money, medicine, food or clothing to the insurgents in the field or hospltals, and should any attempt be madé to do so it would be captured and prevented by order of the Government of the United States: and ‘Whereas, All parties declared before the last election in favor of the independence of Cuba, and the Republican party em- phasized its opinion as follows: ‘“From the hour of achieving their own inde- ——— ADVERTISEMENTS.

SPAIN’S LATEST REPLY NOT GIVEN OUT. Its Substance Is Not Yet Enown Even by the State Department. WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.—It is said at the State Department that all attempts to state the nature of Spain's reply to Minister Woodford’s note of last De-| cember, at least so far as correspondents on this side of the Atlantic are concerned, are purely speculative and must be so_of necessity for the reason that up to this time the department itself does not know | even the substance of the reply. This disposes of the stories that have appeared to the effect that the adminis- tration has been disturbed by cablegrams from Woodford relative to the Spanish answer. Senor Dupuy de Lome, the Span- ish Minister, called at the State Depart- ment to-day and spent some time in con- sultation with Mr. Kasson, the special plenipotentiary, talking over the proposed reciprocity treaties ‘to be arranged be- tween the United States and Spain. The Spanish Minister has been informed that Dr. Anguelo will come to Washington to represent the autonomous government of Cuba in fixing the details of the treaties. The doctor is now in New Yark awaiting the return to Havana of Captain-General Blanco, who must sign his commission. BENICIA MOURNS THE DEATH OF A PASTOR. BENICIA, Feb. 8.—Rev. Samuel Wey- lor, the Congregational -pastor who had been ill for some time and who had gone to Paso Robles for a few days, died there to-day. He was but 3{ years old, but progressive character and mentality pro- cured him a place among the most ad- vanced preachers of the day. Rev. Mr. Weylor was born in Russia, near Riga, of Jewish parents, and came to America when he was 17 years old. He entered Knox College at the age of 22, and after graduating entered the Yale Theological College, from which he gl‘a‘li. n Denver. His health failed and he tried a change of climate, going first to Buf- falo, Wyoming. Then he came to _this coast and filled the pulpit here in Beni- cia. 'He had a very wide circle of friends. PATRIARCH OF MASONRY DIE \ Aged George Lord Yields to a Stroke of Pa- ralysis. The Oldest Member of His Order in the United States. Was Born With the Century and ‘Won Riches in California Mines. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. 8.—George Lord, a pioneer, almost a centenarian and the oldest Mason and Odd Fellow in the United States, probably in the world, died this morning* at 3 o'clock at his home in this city from a paraly- tic stroke received yesterday. Several months ago his splendid physical strength began to fail, and for several weeks his death has been daily ex- pected. The paralytic stroke was the finishing blow, and his passing was quiet and peaceful. George Lord was born in New York City on June 17, 1800, and was initiated an entered apprentice, raised to the degree of fellowcraft and to the degree of Master Mascn in two weeks, in Jans uary, 1828. During the same year he went South, and at Louisville, Ky., became a member of Daniel Boone Lodge No. 1, Independent Order of Odd Fellows. He went to Ohio in 1836, and joined the Mansfield Lodge of Masons, | in which he held the offices of senior warden and chaplain. During the year 1849, while Mr. Lord was living at Civic Bend, Iowa, his property was destroyed by fire, and he made the trip across the continent with ox teams by way of Fort Hall and the Humboldt River, and engaged in placer mining along the Yuba River for two years. He was the first settler in Dow- nieville, and erected the first log cabin in that camp. It was still standing two years ago. His mining was suc- cessful, and he returned to the States by the way of the Isthmus of Panama in the spring of 1851, having amassed a considerable fortune. He remained East only one year and during that time married Miss Arabell: Singleton, who, with one son, survives him. Then he returned to California over the same emigrant road he had helped to build two years previous. He crossed the mountins and plains with a party of emigrants from Salt Lake City, who were the first Americans to settle in San Bernardino County. He settled on a rdnch near the present city and has ever since lived in this county. He was the first successful grower of raisin grapes in Southern California and took the first prize, a $5 gold piece, offered at Los Angeles. At the time of his death he was a member of Phoenix Lodge No. 178, F. and A. M., and Keystone Chapter N¢ 56, R. A. M. He was one of the organ- izers of the Society of California Pio neers and was the first president of t San Bernardino society until the office of past president was created for him.
