OAKLAND, Sept. 22.—The Soclalist Labor orators won their first case in the Police 'Court to-day, owing to a defect in the complaint. ‘the defendant, M. W. Wilkins, was repre- sented by Job Harriman of Los Angeles, the. Soclalist candidate for Governor, and Attorney King of San Francisco. After a jury had been obtained, Ser- geant Paterson was put on the witness stand, and testified to the arrest of the | defendant, who, he sald, was speaking on Tenth street, near Broadway. Attorney King, for the defense, declared that the complaint charged Wilkins with speakin; on Broadw: near Tenth, and he askefi for a dismissal on this point. Deputy District = Attorney Moore thought the point well taken, but disclaimed the re- sponsibility for the error in the complaint, s the information had been furnished Judge Allen di- him on a slip of paper. rected the jury to acquit the defendant. THE COURT COULD NOT STOP WITNESS INTERPRETER'S DILEMMA IN THE LOUIS WILL CONTEST. Proponents Will Move for a Non- Suit Just as Soon as All the Testimony Has Been Taken, > OAKLAND, Bept. 22—In the Edouard Louis will contest to-day before Judge ‘ Hall there was a lively scene. After A. L. Barber, Louis Bazet and Frank Hally | had testified, Mrs. Mariane Louis, the aged mother of decedent, took the stand. She is the contestant and cannot speak or understand Engush; but it was most forcibly impressed upon the jury and everybody else ' that her knowledge of French had no limit. When a question was asked®hat could be -answered yes or no, witness would rattie off a volume of «rench that could not be remembered by the interpreter, L. Mouet, and that could | hardly be stopped by the Court, attorneys | or bailiff. ‘““Well,”” the Court would re- mark after catching his breath, “I think some one had better stop her.” At the suggestion of Attorney R. B.| Tappan, who together with Geor~e Reed, is appearing for the estate, Attorney A. Ruet volunteered to act as interpreter. He is the attorney on the other side and agreed to speak in English only such | parts of Mrs. Louls’ answers as might be proper or material. To this Counsel Reed | strenuously obfec!ed, fearing that Mr. Ruef might omit more tuan was good for | the cause. Several of - the | French, and now the attorneys fear that | their case will be prejudiced as a result jurors understood of the superfluous testimony given by Mrs. Louis. It developed from the ed lady’'s tes- timony to-day that the widow of the tes- tator_had called on her and offered to | )y the decendent, but that she refused | the money ‘‘because,” as she sald, “it | was already too late,’ she having com- | menced the contest. It also apeared that mrs.

OAKLAND, Sept. 22—The jury in the case of George Schmidt, charged with burglary, falled to agree after being out about four hours, and was discharged this evening, ten standing for acquittal and two for conviction. Schmidt was ac-| cused of entering G. W. Niehaus' barn | some time ago and stealing two sacks | of bran. When driving off, Officer Jaco- bus arrested himl, but not until he had £hot Schmidt's horse and engaged in a lively tussle with the defendant, in which GRIM RELICS OF WAR. The Sunken Don Juan of Austria’ Gives Up Mute Evidence of Dewey's May Day. T 1s & mute, plain tale that is told in the relics that J. N.

When she sunk an explosion from the in- side of the ship blew the decks out and left the hold open to any one it for a grab bag, and this most of the fellows who can get leave from the ship spend their time in doing. The cartridge box is of the sort that is worn by the Spanish marine and carries 105 rounds of shell; the bayonet is blood-stained, but where it came from no one can say, unless there was some fellow nearer to the ship’s boat when the vessel sank than the man-who carried it—these greasers ain't much on brotherly lolololololololololololololololoiolololololc lololololototolololololololoiCloloRCRORC] with the bioo decay that } are of unusy them, but simply who cared to us love when it comes to a pinch.

SOME WARM RESOLUTIONS DR. FRIEDLANDER SAID TO BE MISINFORMED, Notified Joseph Harris That He Would Tear the Sixth Ward Club All to Pieces. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Sept. 22. The Jewish residents in the Forty- eighth Assembly District have decided that they will not disband in accord- ance with Rabbi Friedlander's sugges- tion, but will continue along the line for which the club was organized. At a meet- ing held In BetR Jacob Synagogue the following resolution was introduced: ‘“‘Resolved, That the Good Government Club of the Forty-eighth Assembly' Dis- trict condemns the action of Rabbi Fried- lander in rushing into print with regard to the doings of this club, and that we request the reverend gentleman to attend to his ecclesiastical affairs, assuring him that we will take care. of our political affairs.” The rabbi had some friends. in the au- dlence, and Mr, Harris moved to lay the resolution on the table. This was de- clared to be gag law, and the oratory started. H. Davis, ‘an officer of Beth Jacob, said that the rabbi didn’t exactly know what he was talking about or he would not have made the remarks ho did. Several others favored dropping the matter, but this was,opposed, and Mr. Isaacs in the interest of harmony intro- duced a resolution somewhat less force- ful. It read: “Resolved, That this club ignore all criticisms that have come into public print with regard to the doings of this elub.” Another bit of discussion followed, and finally this also was withdrawn, as it was | believed Rabbi Friedlander would not | again undertake to criticize the ciub. Joe Harris said he had talked with the. rabbl previous to the time he had given out his statement, and he had advised the rabbi to keep out of the papers re- garding the differences of opinion be- tween himself and the club. ‘“And, fur- ther,” said Mr. Harris, “I told him that when I went to his church he had the best of me, but that in.political matters | and the ways of, this country I could tell him a thing or-two that I had learned during my thirty years' residence here. Before the Interview was over the rabbi told me he would tear the club to pleces.” Isaac Barnett sald it was nothing new | for Jews to be condemned and denied po- litical’ rights; for that reason America had been a haven to Jews. He belleved | they should be permitted to take a hand in the affairs of government, Rabbl Friedlander notwithstanding. The discussion ended when one of the members stated that the club was not res;r}c!ed to Jews, but all were welcome to join. THE FACULTY’S POSITION® REMAINS AN ENIGMA THEIR INTENDED SEVERITY MAY BE MODIFIED. Fate of Berkeley Students Who Took Part in the Bush 8till Hang- ing in the Balance. BERKELEY, Sept. 22.—As yet no new developments have come out of the case of the freshmen students in the Univer- sity of California who were yesterday threatened with expulsion for taking part in a rush. A great deal of mystery sur- rounds the faculty’s intended action in the matter, and the whole college is on the qui vive as to what may be done next, It seems probable, however, that the committee on students’ affairs will be in- clined toward leniency, although the course they expect to pursue is still un- certain. This mornlng the four men who were “called up” vesterday were again brought | before the faculty tribunal, consisting of Professors Thomas R. Bacon, George C. Edwards and Willlam Carey Jones. They were asked to repeat their version of the rush, and of the [uu‘t they took in it. At the conclusion of the interview the sen- tence of expulsion was temporarily re- moved, but the men were told to hold themselves in readiness to be ‘“‘called up” | agaln at any time, This action on the part of the students’ affairs committee is being interpreted n two different ways. Many regard it as a sign that the extreme geverity which | at first seemed to face the unfortunate men will be quietly. released, and their cases dropped without further attention. Others, on the contra a mere breathing spell before a wholesale expulsion of juniors, sophomores and freshmen is summarily and orously carried into execution. The small tribu- nal of three professors, which has been brought into such sudden prominence during the last two days, and which hoids the fate of one or two hundred students in 1ts hands, is, however, pursuing its inyestigations slowly and cautiously; but when a decision is reached,. eithér one way or the other, it is certain that no compromise measures will be adopted. If one man is expelled, one hundred will fol- low, and hence the interest surrounding the cases of the four freshman students who have already been called to account. ‘While the excitement attendant upon the first news of the facuity's action ye: terday has somewhat blown over, the de- termination of those who participated In the rush to act in concert has grown very decided. It can be safely.said, now, that if one or two men are expelled, every student who engaged In last Friday night’s tussle will hand in his time and thdraw from the university. ——— SAYS SHE IS NERVOUS.

Narrowly Escaped Death. , Sept. 22.—Stanley Stephen- son of 2225 San Jose avenue had a most miraculous escape from death last night by coming in contact with a live electric wire. He, with his father and brother-in- law, was standing at the corner of rark street and Santa Clara avenue, awaiting the arrival of a streetcar. Mr. Stephen- son noticed that the arc electric light was not burning so brightly as it should, and rabed the wire cable used for hoisting fhe light, intending to jar the carbon down in the lamp, thereby increasing the contact. Mr. Stephenson relates a thrill- ing_experlence: 5 “I felt myself drawn all up in a bunch, he said. “I remember shrieking to my brother-in-law for help, then a relaxation of_the muscles, and all was blank.' Mr. Stephenson’s brother-in-law grabbed him around the walist and by main force released him from the wire. Both men fell limp to the ground. Bystanders said both men were a blaze of glectrc as | they lay upon the sidewalk. Mr. Stephen- | son had a bad burn on one of his hands, | and he says he will never interfere with | the electric wire again, if every light in the city goes out. Republican Meeting.

Willlam Corbitt, one of the leading trotting horse breeders of California, died on Wednesday at San Mateo. As| proprietor of the San Mateo stock farm | he achieved a world wide reptation, and | with the late Senator Stanford shared | the honor of breeding the greatest num- ber of champlon trotters in America. Mr. Corbitt was born in Scotland sev- enty-three years ago and came with his | parents to Canada when an infant. At| | the early age of 9 he was an orphan and compelled to earn a livelihood on a farm. At 14 he embarked in business trading in | stock and produce, and In_a few years | had acquired a fortune. Early in the | 50's he came to California and settled in Los Angeles. He engaged in a commis- sion and general merchandizing business | and became_ the owner of over 180,000 | acres of land in Southern California, in- cluding the lands occupied by the Santa Anita stock farm and L. J. Rose's famous farm Rosemeade. The drought of 1864 and consequent heavy losses in. crops and livestock caused Mr. Corbitt and his partner, M McLeay, to dispose of their large hold- ings. They moved to Portland, Oregon, and.on their arrival started in busines: Agaln they were successful, and in a fe Joars they had the largest mercantile | ouse in the Northwest. About 1873 Mr. Corbitt returned to Cali- fornia ::expurt:h“ed 440 acrgfiflt}f land near. 5 now n as Burlingame, aad maAs Tt a model B farm. Eepar | chased the Hambletonian stallions Irv-| ington and Arthurton, é:aylns $30,000 for | them—a price considered enormous at the time. He selected his brood mares with few exceptions among the California bred ones, claiming they ought to surpass | those bred in the East. No better evi- dence of the wisdom of his choice is needed than the records which show that from them he bred champlons of all ages. n 1852 he bought Guy Wilkes. This great horse proved the best investment in horseflesh he ever made. The progeny of Gyy Wilkes in five years on the turf won in races the sum of $119.156, while that of his son, Sable Wilkes, won $65,~ 000 more. It is asserted that Mr. Corbitt realized over $450,000 from the sale of horses from his farm. The deceased was a widower. He leaves three daughters. One is the wife of Lieu- | tenant Colonel C. L. Best, another is Mrs, | Beverly McMonnfie. and the youngest is | married to J. C. Moody. AMERICA SHOULD RULE. Should Force the Evacuation of | Manila by the Spanish Troops. James Jack, superintendent of the wall- | known rice plantations of Smith, Bell & | Co., located fourteen miles from Manila, | was$ among yesterday's arrivals on the | steamship China. | Mr. Jack says the situation {is still! ominous in that section of the world, and, knowlnfiathe prevailing sentiment, b lieves that with the wit gmwal of Span- ish troops from the islands will dawn an | inclination on the part of the rebels to su_mit to American rule. i Regarding the retention of the islands | by the United tates the rice-planter said: | ‘‘The Enfllsh colony, to a unit, believes | that the United States, having taken pos- | session of the islands, should by all |'means retain them. 'In this belief they | have the hearty accord of the German | and native merchants, as well as many | Spanish of the mercantile class. Most of | ‘Aguinaldo’s own soldiers would desert | him did they not fear awful conse- | quences. | ‘‘The rebels are unfit to set up a stable form of government, and uhouhf Spain be | permitted to resume her power she would mete out vengeance with a lash of scor- plons. It would be fatal to the interests of the commercial world should the Unit- ed States segregate the islands and an- nex Luzon only.” —_——— A GREAT PLAYHOUSH.
