8 THE FRANCISCO CALL, WED DAY, MARCH 23, 1898 BIG FRAUDY IN TIME CHECKS *Holders of Paper Suffer Through Overconfi- dence in a Clerk. Thousands of Dollars More Paid Out Than Uncle Sam Has Appropriated. Easy Manner in Which Southall Ac- cumulated a Large Fortune Through Manipulations. Special Dispatch to The Call. ST. PAUL, Minn.,, March 22.—Just how great the loss through the Gov- ernment time-check fraud may prove to be cannot be known until an exam- ination of the boo of the engineering department has shown which checks are good and which false. About three wee ago the local banks, which first became interested through some Hart- ford, Conn., holders of the paper, began an investigation and became satisfied that the amount of checks out was far in exc of the money appropriated by the Government to carry on the work of the upper Mississippi River. After several interview with Southall, in which it is claimed he tri that there was nothing in the claims, it is said that he finally mitted that fully 25 per cent of the checks that are now outstanding are worthless To protect themselves, the banks at once took the stand that the Govern- ment, having adopted a scheme for the payment of the workmen employed by it that enabled an employe to defraud the banks and other innocent pur- chasers of the paper, should be com- pelled to stand the los The filing of the claims of the banks of the pay- ment of the entire amount of the checks was made in Washington, with the re- sult that the matter 2 J.

Believes the Whole Lavw Should Be Administered by the National Government. Carter of Montana Opposed to the Holding of Legislative Assem- blies in Alaska. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. Call Office, Riggs House, ‘Washington, March 22. A feature of the Senate proceedings to-day was an extended speech by Caf- fery of Louislana in support of the pending national quarantine bill. In | course of his argument Caffery said that he wanted the whole quarantine in the hands of the United States Gov- ernment, which could make a quaran- tine effective, and he added that he was as strong a State’s rights advocate as any man. “We want,” said he, “a certain quar- antine authority, upon which responsi- bility may rest. We want uniformity of action in this matter of quarantine regulations, cked by such financial power as will enable the au- { thorities to cope with the dread dis- | eases which are likely to ravage the country In conclusion, after speaking for nearly three hours, Caffery said that State quarantines ‘were utterly inefficient, ut- terly powerless against’ an epidemic of vellow fever. Of this inefficient State quarantine system he had known the | most_brutal acts to be performed.

Locked Up and Denied Permis- sion to Communicate With Friends. Siberian Methods Exposed by an In- vestigation by the Police Commission, Spectal Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, March 22. — For some time past it seems to have been the custom in the Los Angeles Police Department for a few members of the detective force to cause the arrest of parties on suspicion and to lock them up at the City Jail without giving the suspected persons an opportunity to communicate with their friends or at- torneys. This practice has been car- ried far beyond reasonable lines, and to-day the Police Commission institut- ed an investigation which clearly dem- onstrated that James Gillott, a plas- tering contractor, had been made the victim of a police outrage. Gillott was taking some lumber from a house at about 9 o’clock in the even- ing. He was passing by the house with his wagon, en route home. Spe- cial Officer Foster arrested him, and despite his explanation that Contractor Thomas Brown had given him the privilege of taking the lumber, Gillott was taken to the station and locked up | for the night. His family was not no- tified and no effort was made to verify his story. The next morning he asked for per- mission to send for Attorney Meyers and this privilege was denied him. He was told by the jailor that the only at- torney he could send for was Hugh Crawford. He accordingly sent for Crawford and agreed to pay him $25 to obtain his release, $10 of which was ta- ken from money he had on his person at the time of his arrest. In the meantime Gillott's friends were looking for him, and, finding him at the station, obtained his release. Crawford, whom he did not want for an attorney, retained the $10, for which he had rendered no service. All these facts were brought out at the Police Commission investigation to-day and created quite a sensation. the rush might last nobody could ring the character of the popula and the conditions ived, the holding of el ¥ will be much like holding an | n at a circeu estioning Carte ing for three United States three District Attorneys issouri criticized what he termed multi on or officials.” He believed | sonah strious g could, Di; as all of the busine one month in maintained that on a ¢ to arise there in pecially, Carter unt of the eno mous distances between prominent plac in Alaska and the fact that trans | tion, which was almost entirely b: s'tmpossible during the greater the year on account of ice, the necessity of the courts provided for by the bill was evident.

CHILD STUMBLES INTO A BONFIRE Life of a Nine-Year-Old Port- land Girl Goes Out in Flames. Two Little Tots Play With a Blaze and One Receives Fatal Burns. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. PORTLAND, March 22.—Little Gracie Crow, a 9-year-old girl, who lives in Graceland,in the southeastern part of the city, to-day fell into a bonfire which she and’ her little brother had built, and before help could be summoned received burns from which she died. The child had been sick and unable to attend school, but her parents, thinking the air would be good for her, sent her out into the yard to play with her 5-year- old brother. After playing about for some time, the children set fire to an old tar barrel, and in high glee at the bright blaze, piled on everything inflammable they ‘could find. Whileengaged in this occupation Gracie went too near the fire, and, becoming frightened, stumbled and fell. The blaze communicated to her clothing, and when she finally managed to scramble to her feet and run screaming to the house was a mass of flames. By the time she her dress was com- pletely burned or, and she fainted with agony. Blankets ‘were wrapped around her and the flames were put out, but the noor child was past help, and died in a few minutes. GOLD EXTRACTED FROM SEA WATER. Bullion Distilled at Lubec, Me., For- warded to the United States Assay Office. NEW YORK, March 22.—Gold worth $599 61 and fifty-eight ounces of silver, worth about $i2, were the result of an assay of bullion sent to the United States assay office last week by the Electrolytic Marine Salts Company of North Lubec, Me., which extracted it from sea water. The bullion showed fineness of .317% gold and .634 silver, the rest being some base metal. Superintendent Mason of the as- say office said three years ago while he was on the Pacific_Coast the United States Assayer at San Francisco, John W. Peck, told him he had been experi- menting ‘with water from the Pacific Ocean and had found that a ton of sea water contained about 4 cents in gold. On that basis it would take about 15,000 tons of sea water to produce the builion forwarded by the Electrolytic Marine Salts Company. PASO ROBLES EDITOR IN JAIL FOR LIBEL. He Voluntarily Surrenders Himself ‘When There Is No Need of His Doing So. SAN LUIS OBISPO, March 22.—8. D.

Upon being held Merk wanted to have the case de- cided at once and came here and surren- dered himself to the Sheriff, and then had his attorney apply for a writ of habeas corpus on the grounds that the evidence at the examination did not war- rant holding him for libel. Superior Judge Unangst falled to so decide and Merk is left in a jail into which he walked of his own accord. Judge Un- angst may relase the prisoner to-morrow. e . ‘WEDDING TRIP AWHEEL.

Their Charred Bodies Found in the Remains of Their Dwelling. Neighbor Arrives Before the Woman 1s Dead but, 1s Driven Back by Flames. Special Dispatch to The Call. FRESNO, March 22—Mr. and Mrs. James Thompson, an aged couple, were burned to death to-night in their home, & rough, board shanty on Kern and B | streets. When the fire was finally ex- | tinguished the remains of the old peo- ple were founu on the charred floor of the dwelling. The woman lay in a cor- ner of the house, beside the front door, through which she had evidently tried to get out of the burning building. Her husband lay a few feet from her, stretched on his back. .l flesh was burned from the head, leaving only the charred, crumbling skull. Coroner Long was summoned and ar- rived after the fire had been extin- guished. The bodies were buried be- neath the debris of burned timbers and furniture and were with great diffi- culty removed from the house. The fire started shortly after 10:30 o’clock and the flames shot up through | the roof of the shanty, which burned like tinder. Paul Giannoni, who lives about a block away, was the first to see the blaze. He ran to the burning building and fired his pistol twice to attract the attention of the people of the neighborhood. The reports of the shots brought Carl Barnett, who lives | on Inyo street, and Fred Brown, a colored boy, to the house. It did not occur to him at first that any one was in the building and his first thought was to save a buggy which was close to the house. They wheeled that away, and then one of them suggested that there might possibly be some children in the house and concluded to knock in the door. Barnett kicked it in and saw the woman lying close to the door. She might have become suffocated by | smoke and fallen there, but Barnett afterward sald that he did not think | she was dead at that time. He took | hold of her by the feet and tried to| pull her from the building. Just then | a volume of flames rushed through the opening, and Barnett had to flee to save his life, leaving the unfortunate | woman to her terrible fat He saw | the old man lying on the floor also, but | it was impossible to rescue him. | It is impossible to y how the fire started, but it is believed that the| couple were in a helpless condition from liquor and on that account could not | escape from the building. The neigh- | bors say that at 10 o’clock a lamp was | seen burning dmly in the front part of the house, and it is possible that the fire resulted from an explosion. Thompson was a United States pen- | sioner and got his money several days ago. Since then he had been drinking | heavily, and his wife aiso. had been | drinking. She was seen to bring a bot#| tle of wine to the house this afternooen, | and nothing more was seen of either herself or her husband. The old couple went about gathering rags, and often were so much under the influence of liquor that they could hardly maintain their seat on the wa- gon. It is evident that they had been sitting around a stove, and it is thought the woman's dress might have caught fire from the stove while she was in a stupor. After the fire a number of trunks, valises and boxes which were saved | were searched and were found to be filled with sacks containing all sorts (lfi wearing apparel. Lace curtains, shirts | and underwear were stuffed together | in sacks, which were placed in trunks or valises. The old couple evidently | made a business of robbing clothes lines. For some time the officers have been receiving complaints of clothes lines being robbed, but have been un- able to catch the thieves. EDITOR FISKE IS HELD FOR LIBEL. Must Answer for the Statements Published About the Theatrical Syndicate. NEW YORK, March 22.—Before Judge Simms, in Jefferson Market Court to-day, Harrison Grey Fiske was held for gen- eral sessions on two distinct charges of criminal libel, brought against him by the so-called theatrical syndicate composed of Al Hayman and Charles Frohman, Klaw & Erlanger and Nixon & Zimmer- man. The charges were based upon articles in two supplements of the Dramatic Mirror, issued by him through the United States mails after the American News Company had refused to allow him to publish this matter in the regular issue, of his paper. Al Hayman, in speaking of the matter to- night, said: “Don’t you think it is about time a halt was called upon the license indulged in by some lawyers in question- ing witnesses? In the case just ended before Judge Simms interrogatories were propounded to witnesses of a most scur- rilous nature without the slightest foun- dation for them, and in spite of the fact that they were objected to and objections sustained their purpose was successful, for in some instances the questions found their way to print, which is all they were asked for. It seems to me that this ten- dency on the part of some lawyers is cer- tain to bring the most noble profession in the world into disrepute.”” WILL SOON GIVE UP THE PREMIERSHIP. However, Lord Salisbury Intends to Remain in the Cabinet, but ‘Without a Portfolio. £ Copyrighted, 159, by James Gordon Bennett. LONDON, March 22—1I have a high and reliable authority for stating that at the Cabinet council hastily summoned yes- terday the question of Lord Salisbury’s resignation of the premiership was men- tioned. It is believed that rd Salis- bury now desires to free himself from the immense responsibility of office and only awaits the convenience of his col- leagues for his resignation to be handed in. An_announcement may therefore shortly be looked for that the Duke of Devonshire has become the head of the Government, Lord Salisbury remaining in the Cabinet without a portfolio.

Crops Spared by the Cold Wave Are Destroyed by Drough'. Fruit a Total Loss in Some Portions of the San Joaquin Valley. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. SACRAMENTO, March 22.—The frost was not severe here this morning, owing to the prevalence of a strong dry wind from the north. It seems to be an open question as to which has the worse effect on crops—the frost or the dry winds. While the latter pre- vail the frost is held back. There is no doubt that all crops—fruit, grain and vegetables—have suffered severely this past week from trosts and north winds. SAN JOSE, March 22.—The orchard- ists and farmers of this locality still entertain hopes for good crops, al- though the weather has not been of the best. According to late reports from different parts of the county no fruit seems to have been affected by the recent frosts except apricots, and the damage to them has been slight and only in low localities. Moderate show- ers during the next three weeks will insure average crops. SANTA CRUZ, March 22.—Santa Cruz experienced the heaviest gale to- day for many years. It exceeded that of ten days ago. A number of chim- neys and trees were blown down. The terra cotta tiling of the Courthouse tower was loosened and some were blown to the pavement below. FRESNO, March 22.—Reports vary regarding the damage done by frost in this locality, but the facts summed up in a general way make it a certainty that the bulk of the apricot, nectarine and almond crop have been destroyed, while peaches of some varieties are badly damaged and others are but little hurt. Pears, apples and prunes seemed to be damaged but little. STOCKTON, March 22.—The fruit- raisers of n Joaquin County lost most of their crops by the earlier frosts and that of last night did no damage. The succeeding frosts in the reclaimed sections have so cut down the grass that farmers fear they will not raise crops unless more rain and warmer weather comes very soon. On Roberts Island, which Is the large district on which wheat and bar- ley crops were expected, the grain has been cut down by frosts and is flat. On the lower division there is sufficient moisture to produce crops if the grain has not been killed by the cold, but the center sections of the island are very dry and the grain could not recover from the frost without plenty of rain, and there is no present indication of a sprinkle. On the yplands in the north- ern and norteastern sections of the| country the grain crops are good and will yield well, but the fruit is lost. L.OS ANGELES, March 22.—The crop bulletin for Southern California for the nding March 21, prepared by Ob- Franklin, is as follows: seasonakb o her prevailed during the past vith rain on the 17th _and 18th, which generally light in the northern sections and moderately heavy in the southern portions, where snow fell quite heavily in the mountains. Grain and pasture were benefited by the rain, except in localities where the pre- cipitation was light and followed by dry- ing winds. The prospects were improved for moderate crops of grain and hay, but rain is still neeaed in many sections to assure these crops. The cold weather retarded the growth of vegetation. Frosts were frequent during the week, and re- ports show that in some localities dam- age resulted; in others none. In some sections fruit buds, vegetables and tender egetation were injured; in others little if any damage occurred, while some re- ports state that no injurious results oc- curred from frosts. Irrigating orchards continues. Sugar-beet planting has begun. PALO ALTO HORSES SOLD. Harness Animals Disposed Of at Auction in New York.

SHANGHAI, March 22—Further tele- grams from Chung King Fu regarding the sacking of the Methodist Medical Mission in the Kiang Pehi country show that the Chinese militia is now there in large force and refuses to allow the exe- cution of the death sentence passed upon the murderer of the student who was killed by the rioters who destroyed the mission, as_ announced in these dis- patches on March 16. Tne foreign con- suls now demand that the Taotai disperse the militia, execute the murderer, arrest the leaders of the rioters, pay 500,000 taels for the property destroyed, allow the mission to reoccupy its premises and en- gxnge to protect the members of the mis- sion. e Gladstone’s Farewell Journey.

That statement has been made use of by cer; tain papers published in the Far West who have b_een in the habit o telegraphing the Herald’s morning news and printing it in thell: edi- tions of the same morning, as justifying that practice.

The Herald’s special news is pro- tected by copyright, and is sold to newspapers in the ‘\est. The Herald purposes to protect itself and the papers to whom it sells its news against the action of rival papers who buy an early copy of the Herald and telegraph its news to their home office in time ior' thel'r morning edition.
