ATTEMPT T0-LYNCH M. Z0LA Parisian Mob Makes an Attack on the Author. Dispersed by the Guards After Several Lively Encounters. Jewish Residents Pounced Upon and Roughly Handled by Rioters. SHAMEFUL COURT RULING Counsel for the Defense Refused the Privilege of Questioning Witnesses. al Dispatch to The Call. PARIS, Feb. 18.—There were riotous proceedings after the adjournment of the Zola trial to-day, and M. Zola nar- rowly escaped being lynched by the mob outside. On leaving the Palace of Justice, all the officers were applauded by the crowd outside the building, and al Pell who descended the X bareheaded, was given a recep- Major Esterhazy with shouts of ive I'Armee!” The police were powerless to control the immense crowds and several Jews were the objects of insults and menaces. There was a general fight. The mob threw itself on the Jews, yelling “Death to the Jews!” and “Throw them into the Seine!” Finally the Re- publican guards charged the rioters and cleared the square. General Boisdeffre was the first wit- ness called to-day. He confirmed the testimony given yesterday by General Pellieux. Next Major Esterhazy was called to the stand. “It is said that you are the author of the bordereau. What have you to ans- wer?"” asked the Judge. “Firstly,” replied the witness, “T have a statement to make. On a shadow of proof this miserable Dreyfus has ac- cused me of being guilty of his broth- er's crime. I have been judged by my people who have acquitted me, but to- day I am summoned as a witness so he may accuse me, when I have no adviser to defend me. I will answer any ques- tion you put to me, but, as to those people,” turning to M. Zola and his counsel, “I wont reply to them.” This created a sensation. The Judge then turned to M. Laborie, inquiring, “Have you any questions to ask Major Esterhazy?” “I am still drawing up my applica- tion,” answered M. Laborie, ‘“and shall not ask any questions until the court has given a decision upon {1.” Laborle referred to an application cross-question Boisdeffre, which privilege had been denied him. Put your questions immediately,” exclaimed the Judge, “or you will not put any.” At thi approval. “I can say nothing at this moment,” replied M. Laborie, “but I protest against this attitude.” Here the Presiding Judge interrupt- ed counsel, exclaiming: “What do you say? hazy, resume your sea There was prolonged cheering as Ma- jor Esterhazy left the witness stand. The Judge then suspended the sitting in order to allow M. Laborie to com- plete his application. The noise in court was deafening and almost inde- scribable, the prevailing opinion being was greeted there were murmurs of dis- Major Ester- | that the case was being settled in mili- tary fashion. When the session was resumed M. Laborie presented his exceptions, pointing out that the court had refused to allow him to question General Bois- his question. Counsel protested against this #'denial of justice,” and concluded with de- manding the recall of Generals Bois- deffre and Pellleux and Major Ester- hazy. The Advocate-General reminded tha court that the Dreyfus affair should not be mentioned, otherwise, he added, he would leave the matter in the hands Counsel for M. Zola re- torted: ‘““The generals came into court in full uniform and wearing their dec- orations in order to make speeches for the prosecution. [Uproar.] “The defense,” M. Laborie added, “is reproached with attempting to secure a revision of the Dreyfus case, but the generals have harangued against a re- vision of the trial of Major Esterhazy, who was acquitted. Let his judges bear the responsibility. Proceeding, M. Laborie alluded to the “man suffering on Devils Island,” add- ing, “though his sufferings doubtless do not interest the men who are howl- ing at the back of the courtroom.” “Gentlemen of the jury,” M. Laborie said, “I entreat you most earnestly to rise above the emotions of the misled public, and to consider that we are perhaps at a turning point in our his- tory, and that your decision will have consequences which no one to-day can measure.” The court then retired to deliberate. During the suspension of the session there was a great demonstration in the courtroom in favor of General Pellieux. A man who cried “Vive Zola” was set upon, maltreated and bundled out of court. When the session was resumed the Presiding Judge announced that M. Laborie’s demands for the recalls of General Boisdeffre and Pellieux were overruled, but that Major Esterhazy might be recalled if eounsel wished. The major was recalled, took the stand, turned his back on M. Zola and M. La- borie, and refused to answer their questions. Colonel Picquart was then recalled and said that the moment the Esterhazy inquiry began the suspected document, calculated to whitewash Esterhazy, arrived at the Ministry of War. This, he added, was the docu- ment to which General Pellieux re- ferred, “and,” Colonel Picquart said, “it can be considered a forgery.” General Gonze, who was recalled, af- firmed that the document was authen- tie, but he refused to give any further particulars.

People Compelled to Leave Their | Homes and Hurry to the Highlands. Special Dispatch to The Call. Jen TACOMA, Feb. 18.—Many rivers in | Western Washington are overflowing, their rapid rise being caused by heavy rains and chinook winds, which have melted the snows in the foothills. The Palouse River in Eastern Washington | was higher yesterday and to-day than it had been for six years, and the lower part of Palouse was flooded. The water | reached the floor of the bridge of Main street, near the depot, and covered the streets to a depth of three feet for a considerable distance. Houses and | ns on the flats were surrounded by | rater and families living near the de- | pot were forced to move out, the water | l reaching to the windows of the houses. Traffic on the Northern Pacific branch between Moscow, Idaho, and | Julietta will not be resumed before | Monday. The damage done in that sec- | tion by the high water is the greatest | for years. Workmen on the extension | to Lewiston, Idaho, have been em- ployed on the damaged track, a force of from 600 to 1000 men and four work trains being at the work. Superintend- ent Gilbert is directing the operations. | Most of the damage to the track is be- tween Kendrick and Julietta. | Many farms are submerged in valleys through the Palouse grain district and some stock has been drowned. The only fatality yet reported is that of Henry Galbaugh, aged nine, who | was drowned in the Newaukum, three | miles from Chehalis, the valley where they lived being flooded. In the mid- dle of the stream a raft on which he rode became unmanageable and the | boy fell into the river. His father was | unable to reach him in time to save his | life. Farms in Cowlitz, Chehalis, Puyul-‘ lup, Steeck and White River Valleys | are under water and stock is being moved to the uplands. There are miles of flooded country between Tacoma and Seattle. Main line and Seattle trains are running on time, ‘however, because the Northern Pacific has re- cently put in high iron bridges over the streams it crosses. | This is the fourth flood Western ‘Washington has had since September. It is considered important as empha- sizing the need of better protection of the forests, particularly at the heads of streams, as a preventive of floods. The damage by floods has been in- creasing yearly in this State, and the National Government is now being urged to put into effect stringent for- estry regulations as the best protective measure possible. THOMAS D. STIMSON’S WILL. How the Los Angeles Capitalist Dis- posed of His Estate. LOS ANGELES, Feb. 18.—The will of the late Thomas D. Stimson was filed for probate in Judge Clark's court to-day. The document, which disposes of an es- tate valued at $1,300,000, is dated April 4, 1895. To this is attached a codicil dated January 15, 189%8. The executors named are his sons Willlam H., Charles D. and Ezra T., and In case one dies or declines to act, a fourth son, Fred 8., is named. He bequeaths to Miss Mary F. Spencer of Los Angeles $20,000; Martha F. Ken- nedy of Ann Arbor, Mich., $5000; Clarissa F. édsnn of Duluth, Minn., $5000; Olive J. Fay of Chicago, $100,000; James Roe of Seattle, $2500; F. C. Devendorf, $2500. These legacles are to be paid only from the Income from the estate. The testator states he has heretofore conveyed to his wife, Achsah J. Stimson, the lot and building at Third and Spring streets. The remainder of the estate is to be held and managed in trust until the youngest grandchild at the time of tes- tator's death reaches 21; then the estate is to be divided between the testator's children and _grandchildren, share and share alike. The codicil provides for the ayment of $44,000 to testator's daughter, glrl. Fay, as $56,000 of the $100,000 meant for her had been given her before testa- tor died. —_— DAVID FELSENHELD DEAD. San Diegan Succumbs to the Effects of an Operation in Bavaria. WALNUT CREEK, Feb. 18—A" letter has just been received by A. Lebrecht of this place from Munich, Bavaria, an- nouncing the death there of David Fel- senheld, who was traveling in Europe. His demise was the result of an opera- tion. His remains were sent to Hotha, where they were cremated. “Little Dave” Felsenheld opened the first bank in Idaho, at Silver City, in 1865, with Martin Herman,a well-known stock- broker. A few years later he removed to an Diego, where he and his brother, ax, opened a large mercantile house. He was assoclated with Colonel Tom Scott in projecting the Texas and Pacific Iroad, and it was mainly through his efforts that the road was built. He was prominent in affairs concerning the city of San Diego, and was always to the fore when his ser- vices were required for the public good.

Miss Duer is one of the most accom- plished and beautiful girls in New York society, and since her introduction two winters ago no belle has been more in demand in society at dinners and balls.

However, He Still Opposes the Ac- quisition by the City of Its Water Plant. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, Feb. 18.—W. A. Spalding, the editor and manager of the Herald, one of the three daily jour- nals in the newspaper syndicate in this city that has done so much in its endeavo! pal control and operation of the city's water distributing plant, took a stand this evening which will create more or less of a sensation. He declared him- self an advanced socialist, and, mak- ing the declaration, he took a posi- tion which caused his remarks to be vigorously applauded by the most ad- vanced believers in the theory of uni- versal co-operation. Mr. Spalding, despite the fact that he has, through the Herald, opposed and antagonized all movements and ef- forts looking to the public control of the city’s water plant, now held by the Los Angeles Water Company, on a rea- sonable and just basis, to-night told themembersof theReform League that the social conditions existing in this country to-day called for a radical change, or there would be a repetition of the French revolution on American goil. Considering the fact that through the Herald Mr. Spalding has not only thrown every obstacle possible into the way of municipal control of the water plant, but has vilified and defamed every individual in public and private life’and every newspaper that took a bold and courageous stand for the peo- ple in that important struggle, his open advocacy to-night of public control of the railroads, telegraph and other pub- lic utilities comes not only as a sur- prise, but with a belief on the part of many who heard his address that he does not mean what he says. Editor Spalding talked to the Reform League to-night for over an hour. He 100k occasion during the course of his remarks to lambaste both of the old political parties, which he accused of deceiving the people for years on the tariff question by dividing that issue, when, as a matter of fact, the differ- ences between the two parties on that question were trivial, amounting, said, to only about 7 per cent increase or decrease in the duties on imports. In the last national campaign, he sald, the old parties divided the people on the silver coinage issue, the settle- ment of which, one way or the other, was no cure for the existing conditions, which he thought to be daj th;enper%etulty of the repuhnggem“s L s advice was that a cha; be effected In the soclal symiom Lo just how this could be brought about he did not pretend to say. The settle- ment of the tariff or the silver ques- tion would not improve conditions, ac- cording to his reasoning. He made a strong defense of the adoption of pa- ternalism by the Government, whereby the unemployed could be given an op- portunity by the Government to labor. It this was not done, he feared, there would be another Coxey army move- ment in the country, only much strong- er and greater in numbers than the one of a few years ago. In fact, Spalding took the most radi- cal ground in favor of socialism of any speaker that has been heard in this community in a long time. The sur- prise of the Los Angeles public at this departure of the editor of the Herald will be great. ‘When Mayor Snyder advocated in his mesage a proposition for the city to take possession of its water plant at the expiration of the present lease with the water company, the value of the company's improvements to be judi- clally determined, Mr. Spalding, in the Herald, denounced the policy as pirati- cal. Every time the Mayor and Coun- cilmen Grider and Hutchison took a position_to force the water company to come to terms, Spalding and the Herald have denounced these faithful public servants as advocates of confiscation, and has in every way belittled their ef- forts and endeavored to place them in a false light before the people. In the newspaper syndicate controlled by the water company the Herald has been the strongest defender of the water company’s scheme to mulct the people of $2,000,000. And now its editor becomes an ad- vanced socialist. — Steps in X¥ront of a Train.

Santa Clara Clubs May With- draw from the State Organization. Claim That They Are Not Granted Fair Representation by Its Officials. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Feb. 18.—There were some interesting proceedings at the annual conventions of the Santa Clara County Equal Suffrage Club at the Unitarian church to-day, and threats of seceding from the State club were made. There was a good attendance, and the various clubs throughout the county were rep- resented by delegates. The discussion of the State convention at San Fran- clsco last year stirred up much dissat- isfaction, which almost amounted to a declaration of independence from the authority of the State Equal Suffrage Association. A number of the acts of the authorities of the State organiza- tion, of which Mrs. Mary A. Swift of San Francisco is president, were called into question, and threats of secession were made. The principal complaints were against the actions of the powers that be at the session of the State conven- tion at San Francisco last year. It is stated that the San Francisco dele- gates managed to secure a monopoly of all the advantages as well as the honors through the wunion of clubs throughout the State, while the clubs in the southern part of the State especial- ly were ignored almost entirely as far as being granted a proper representa- tion was concerned. It was stated that the authorities at San Francisco seemed perfectly willing that the clubs in Santa Clara County should contribute quite a neat sum to | the general State fund, but there was a corresponding lack of willingness on the part of the State officials to allow the clubs in this county to have any voice as to how the funds should be ex- pended. | It was pointed out that taxation without representation was the iden- | tical wrong of which women were now complaining as regards their relation- | ship to political affairs in general, and | the government of the country in par- ticular, and they did not care to con- tinue an alliance with a State organiza- tion of their own sex that itself prac- ticed these very wrongs.

No. decisive action was taken as re- gards the threatened breach in the State organization, but Mrs. J. M. Mc- Kee of the Willow Glen Club, in behalf of her organization, presented the formal resignation of that club as an auxiliary to the State organization. It was stated that the Willow Glen Club was unwilling longer to pay a rather high assessment to the State Associa- | tion without having any privilege as | far as having a voice in the disposition of the funds was concerned. Mrs. Mc- Kee was one of the delegates from Santa Clara County to the recent State convention. No action was taken in the matter of the resignation of Willow Glen Club from the State organization. The Santa Clara County Equal Suf- frage Club elected the following officers for the ensuing year: President, Mrs. A. L. Corbert of Palo Alto; vice-presi- dent, Mrs. A. K. Spero; recording sec- retary, Mrs. E. G. Dyer of Palo Alto; corresponding secretary, Mrs. Dr. Alida C.

A WOMAN’'S BODY. ‘What Its Neglect Leads to. Mrs, Chas. King’s Experience. A woman’s body is the repository of the most delicate mechanism in the whole realm of creation, and yet most women will let it get out of order and keep out of order, justas if it were of no consequence. Their backs ache and heads throb and burn; they have wandering pains, now here and now there. They experience extreme lassitude, that don’t-care and want-to-be-left-alone feeling, excitability, irritability, nervousness, sleepless- ness and the blues, yet they will go about their work until they can scarcely stand on their poor swollen feet, and do nothing to help themselves. These are the positive fore-runners of serious womb complications, and unless ven immediate attention will result in untold misery, if not death. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound will, beyond the question of a doubt, relieve all this trouble before it becomes serious, and it has cured | many after their troubles had become chronic.
