Hilgard, director of the agricultural ex- periment stations of the university agri- cultural department, to-day made the following statement in regard to the re- ported discontinuance of the experiment station at Paso Robles: The facts are simply that owing to the ex- tremely deficient rainfall for this season, all experimental work, planting, etc., has neces- sarily been abandoned there until the au- tumn rains begin: all that can be done, in the absence of irrigation facilltles, is to maintain as far as possible the existing plantations by careful surface tillage to prevent evaporation, Under these conditions a ‘‘workman In charge is all_that is_required, and Inspector of Sta- tion Charles H.

Where used for fuel the cut will be from $160 to $125 per 1000 feet. . This is not in competition of the proposed Alameda Gas Company, but is in accord with the policy of the company as outiined before the annouce- ment of its proposed incorporation. Work has already been begun for the construc- tion of new buildings in which the new vlant secured by Mr. Britton while in the ast this spring will be Installed and gas manufactured by a new process. ’Fhe directorate declares that if the promises made on behalf of this plant are made gnfld illuminating gas will be supplied uring the winter months and thereafter at $1 per 1000 cubic feet.

Should a Majority of Members De- sire, the Jury May Meet Earlier. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, %8 Broadway, April 13. It 1S not probable that the -and Jury will be called together again before the 26th inst., although political pressure is being brought fo bear on Foreman | Crooks and some of the members to meet | earlier. | J. E. Crooks, foreman of the Alameda | County Grand Jury. was in Oakland to-| day and stated that there is no nccesslty‘ for an early meeting of the Grand Jury. “It {s my intention and those of nearly | all the grand jurymen,” said Foreman | G. but the majority of us wishing to attend | to our businesses, which have seriously | suffered on account of the lengthy inves- | tigations we have already made, do not | see any use in coming together before | the time I have mentioned. | “I have been asked by interested par-| ties to call an early meeting, but there | is no occasion for it, and unless a ma-. jority of the jurors sign a request for an earlier session than 1 have planned I shall not change my opinion.” Some effort is being made to have what is being spoken of as special session’’ of the Grand Jury. There is no such thing. A week ago the Grand Jury ad- journed to the call of the chair, and whenever the chair issues a call for a meeting it will be a regular session of the Grand Jury, and not in any sense a ‘‘spe- cial” one.” One of the members of the Grand Jury said to-day that their work has been hamrered by the doings of those who would use the Grand Jury for political ends, *“We want, if possibie, to find something definite,” he said, “and as | soon as anything criminal can be traced to any party we will at once take posi- | tive action. We cannot, howevér, permit | ourselves to be used by political factions or for political ends. ur dutv is a hard one to perform, and it is made more hard when insincere people try to use us to carry out their personal ambitions. It is bad enough to have to withstand and try to overcome the tactics of those who are lccordlng to current report try- ing to corrupt the city government, or who have corrupted it, but there is noth- ing to be gained by the enemies ¢ these corruptionists trying to brin~ about their indictments and at the same time make political capital. “I am not at iiberty to tell one word of what has transpired in the Grand Jury room, but I may say that we have heard some startling _stories. Most of them, however, have been contradicted in one form or another, or point to actions of such a nature that, though indiscreet and morally bad, are not criminal, and consequently they do not come within our finrludlcllon. % ‘When the Grand Jury reconvenes it is probable that subpenas will be issued for some of the directors of the Contra Costa ‘Water Company, in the hope that many of the tales of bribery may be traced to their origin. The company held its an- nual meeting yesterday, and it is stated that much interesting discussion took place among the directors regarding the situation in this city. It was considered advisable not to make any changes in the directors at this time, and it was given out that this was done to protect the company from the insinuation that such a step would be taken merely for the urpose of complicating matters before {he Grand Jury.

For some weeks it has been known to the Superintendent of Schools that the missing records of the Mission Grammar School, which were wanted in the Craven case, were in the possession of James M. Wilkins, proprietor of the CIiff House. The fact was communicated to Chfef Lees, and the District Attorney and the Chief went to the Cliff House and saw the books. Wilkins was asked to give up the books, but declined to do so except by order of the court. Monday the Dis- trict Attorney applied to Judge Belcher for the necessary order, but it has not yet been granted. . There are four books: Teachers' time and class recorrs for April, 1505; class records April 1, 189, to close'of the half- vear; teacners' time table and class rec- ords 'for the last half of the vear 1805 and the same for the half-year from January 1 to June 30, 1596. ¥ “The only object,” said District Attor- ney Barnes vesterday, “in securing pos- session of the books is to complete the annals of the School Department. With- out them the records of the department would be incomplete, and, as they are public documents they should not be in the possession of an outsider. As far as I know inere is no intention or founding a criminal charge against Mrs. Craven upon these records. In fact, I know of no present intention of reviving the Cra- ven case in.any form. There is nothing in the records in question bearing upon the case of Notary Cooney, which is the only phase of the Craven litigation pend- ing in the criminal courts. Chiet Lees said that the long-drawn- out story in a morning paper was all rot. He was notified that the books were at the Cliff House and as thev were nublic documents they should be in the posses- sion of tne Schoc' Department. — —e————— Try the *“Koh-I-Noor” lead pencil, and you will have no further use for others. * - —e————— Came From Minnesota.

Arrested While Fleeing Witk Their Plunder From the Scene. The Plucky Grocer Fired Five Shots at the Men While They Ran. This morning at about 2 o'clock two men entered the grocery store of E. Lieb- scher, on the corner of Mason and Pacific streets, and demanded that the propri- etor give up his valuables. Upon his pro- testing they beat him over the head with a revolver and compelled him to submit. They took his watch, money amounting to $117 and other valuables and ran out, golng toward Broadway. Liebscher grabbed his revolver and fol- lowed to the street and fired five times at the fleeing men. Officers Conway, Peshon and Connors heard the firing and ran toward the store, meeting the robbers, whom they placed under arrest. Thé booty secured by the robbers was | found on their persons and the men were | taken to the California street station where they were booked on a charge of | assault with a deadly weapon and rob- bery. The men gave the names of James Thorn and John Winrow. It is believed by the police tHat the two men have been connected with the various rob- beries which have taken place on the north side. Liebscher was badly bruised about the head and face, but his injuries are not serious. WILL BE A TOTAL WRECK. | Captain Penn;dyiiof the Ship New York Thinks the Vessel Will Never Be Saved. Captain Peabody of the ill-fated ship New York, which a month ago became | stranded on the shores of Halfmoon Bay, reached the city a few days ago and joined his wife and child at a down-town hotel. Although out of employment by the loss of his vessel the captain shows no signs of worry, as he has just received a sympathetic letter from the owners of | the vessel, in which they speak highly of his ability as a seaman and hold him blameless for the wreck of the vessel. In speaking about the wrecked vessel last evening Captain Peabody said: “On the night of the accident a gale was blowing and a haze prevented our seeing anything. One by one I sent men aloft to sight the Farallones or the Point Bo- nita light, but without success. At last 1 went aloft, and some distance ahead I saw breakers, 1 tried to wear my ship around, but she did not answer her heim as quickly as she would in the open sea. The strong undercurrent rapidly drew us inshore, and before we knew it we were high and dry on the land. “The gale increased in violence and the waves went over us, washing everyvthing before them. We tried to send up rock- ets as signals of distress, but as fast as they were lighted the waves would put them out. At last we tried lighted oakum saturated with turpentine, and | lhu;ll gave those on shore warning of our peril.” After narratin acted that awfu the perilous scenes en- night, the captain said | he lost nearly evervthing he possessed in | the world by the wrecking of the vessel. | He has been sailing thé mighty deep since 1862 and was given his command | when twenty-three years old. This is the | first. wreck he ever experienced during | his long service. Mrs. Peabody and their little girl are still unnerved by the perils | of that night. Captain Peabody expects to be given | another command very shortly. As to the | New York, he thinks she can never be“ recovered. — e SOCIALISM VS. ANARCHY. A Spirited Debate B;Chmy!ons of Both Causes. A joint debate on the question of “Christian Sociallsm vs. Anarchy” drew a large and appreciative audience to Scottish Hall Tuesday night. The meet- ing was opened with a short address by Peter B. McCabe, who was selected by both prineipals to act as chairman and umpire. The anarchists were out in force, nearly all the local groups having dele- ations present, while the Christian oclalists were equally well represented. Andrew Klemencie, the spokesman for “Anarchy,” is a veteran in the Anarchist ranks both in Europe and America, and though not as fluent a speaker as his opponent, is recognized for his sincerity and earnestness of purpose as well as zeal in promoting his ideas. Theodore Lygch. his opponent, is the secretary and oné of the organizers of the Union Re- form League recently started by Rev. W. D. P. Bliss for the spread of Christian Socialism. The speakers held the floor alternately for*an hour and a half, and were followed by an equal number of socialists and anarchists till 11 o’clock, when the debate was closes —_—————— WOMAN BRUTALLY BEATEN. Lawrence Massoni, a Butcher, Ar- rested on a Charge of Battery. Lawrence Massoni, a butcher at 107 Hayes street, was arrested yesterday on a warrant charging him with battery, but a more serious charge may be regis- tered against him. Massoni is a neighbor of Reuben Side- man, who has a ladies' tailor-shop. The children of the two families had a fight Tuesday, and in tne afternoon Massoni went into Sideman’s store, and, after abusing Mrs. Sidem: knocked her down and punched her on the side. Her screams brought her husband to her as- sistance, and when Massonl saw him he ran. Mrs. Sideman is in a poorstateof health, and it is feared that serious complications will follow the brutal treatment she has received at the hands of Massoni. Sideman swore to the warrant for Mas- soni’s arrest in Judge Conlan’s court yes- terday, and the Judge after hearing "the «story of the assault fixed his bonds at 5 —_—————— R.
