He realizes the enormity of the crime with i which he is at present accused, but claims he can easily prove his inno- cence when the excitement has quieted | down in Castroville. Castro has two | charges at present against him—as- sault to commit murder and felonious assault, both upon the person of Mrs. James Douglass. It is claimed other charges will be brought ‘against him. Five other members of his gang are | also under surveillance, but one, F. W. alias “Buck’ Iva, has skipped -town and has thus far eluded the pursuit of the officer: Silva left Castroville the | morning after the Douglass affair, as | matters were getting pretty warm for him, and the feeling was so intense | against’ his partner, Castro, that he feared vengeance might be wreaked® upon him. James Douglass, the infuriated hus- band who nearly succeeded in putting an end to Castro’s life at Pajaro when Sheriff Farley and posse made the cap- | ture, saw the accused man in the: County Jail to-day. The scene of their meeting was quite impressive and at times rather exciting. Castro kept quite cool while Douglass at times would be- | come angered. He asked the prisoner many questions in regard to the affair | | of Sunday night, but received rather unsatisfactory answers. The scratches on the face which it is claimed were received in the struggle with Mrs. Douglass were explained by Castro as the effects of trying to crawl through the brush in his escape. The large coal oil stains upon the coat sleeves were said by the prisoner to be due to | his handling it at a store, when as a matter of fact it was believed to be from a.lamp which his victim. had in | her hand the time of the attack and which was broken, thereby spilling its | contents upon his coat. Douglass had | a half-hour’s talk with the accused man | and then left after telling him that he would give him justice if he was not to get it by the courts. | The preliminary hearing will take place to-morrow morning at 10 o’clock, and although Sheriff Farley will take is isoner to Castroville guarded it sared something might occur should | gilance committee deem it advisa- > to interfere. Although the lynching excitement has somewhat subsided, the feeling against Castro is still very great and is liable to break out any time. ! Sheriff Farley claims he will protect his prisoner at any cost. Castro, however, fears to be taken to his home town and asked that the trial be conducted here. It is also asserted in the old town that should Castro not get a fair deal at the trial to-morrow, according to the ideas of the gang, trouble from that quarter might be expected. Sheriff Far- ley will therefore be between two op- posing factiens, but claims he will have enough buties to cope with any trouble.

This Seems Special Dispatch to The Call. Call Headquarters, Wellington Hotel, ‘Washington, March 9. The old talk of deposing Reed as Speaker is revived once more. This time there really seems to be an earn- est and fairly well organized effort, backed, it is believed, by leading sup- porters of the administration. This morning’s papers print Reed’s letter to General Sherwood of Ohio in answer 0 that gentleman's suggestion that Shaf- ter should be court martialed for his alleged criticism of Reed for opposing the administration’s policy. Mr. Reed wrote in repl “I suppose General Shafter was look- ing for a furlough on full pay.” This, was a thrust at Eagan also. Speaker Reed’s unbridled and sarcas popular with administration leaders. An instance of this was just before the adjournment of Congress. He met Representative Lacey of Jowa in !he House lobby and said: ‘“Lacey. you look so much like Alger I fear your friends will want to whitewash you. This reached Alger’s ears and made for Reed another administration enemy. Mr. Reed’s criticisms of President I\‘Ir‘- Kinley and his policy are too well known to call for comment here. An effort is being made to induce Representative Sherman of New York to decline the appointment of Ap- praiser at New York and declare him- self a candidate for the Speakership Against Mr. Reed. Sherman, though elected to the next Congress, has been nominated and confirmed by the Sen- ate to one of the Appraiserships: at New York, but has not vet accepted the position, and he could decline it and remain in the House if he desired to do sO.

Therefore they want to be surer of their ground b fore making an open move in the mat- ter. What Is being dome now is being done quietly. It is calcqlated by those who would overthrow him that by his hostility to the Nicaragua canal, to the arid land appropriations am} to numer- ous things popular in the West, he has excited a feeling of resentment among a considerable number of Republicans in the House, which may contribute to his defeat if the right sort of man can be found to make the contest. There is a feeling of intense hostility behind the movement involving poli- tic sof the party in the future. — SPECIAL RATES FOR THE EDUCATORS MAHA, March 9.—After a three days' f‘n(:fl:\rencu, in which two roads did all the conferring and the other sixteen ac- quiesced, the transcontinental lines have adjourned and the rates made by the sthern Pacific and Santa Fe for the National Educational Association in Los Angeles in July will stand.

There are one or more opera- | tors, with headquarters in Tacoma and Salt Lake, who are furnishing large | numbers of Japanese laborers to the Northern Pacific, Union Pacific, Ore-‘ | gon Short line and Oregon Railway | and Navigation Company for service as | section hands, shovelers and workmen | with work trains. | From these facts the inference is| drawn that hundreds of Japanese whoi | are now entering this country monthly | at Portland, Tacoma, Seattle and from | | British Columbia are brought across | | the Pacific under contract to work for | these operators at so much per month | {and their board. Several customs offi- | | cers believe this to be true, but will not permit the use of their names because the rules of the department do not per- | mit it. They say that the wholesale ar- | rivals of Japanese workmen and the | fact that they go to work for the rail- roads within a very short time there- after is conclusive evidence to their minds, and yet it is not evidence suffi- cient to warrant any prosecutions un- der the contract labor law. Though every steamship brings over several hundred Japanese they are di- vided among at least three different ports, with the apparent object of awakening as little suspicion as pos-| sible. Each steamship load is landed | gradually at Victoria, Port Townsend | and either Tacoma or Seattle. The ma- jority are landed in British Columbia | and quietly come across the boundary | in small parties until sent into the in-| | terior for railroad work. During the | last two years the railroads named, to- gether with the Canadian Pacific, are aid to have engaged several thousand | Japanese. They receive scarcely half | the wages paid white workmen.

ESCAPE OBSERVERS | Importance of the Proposed Exten- | sion of the Weather Bureau | Signal Service. | WASHINGTON, March 9.—When the| proposed extension of the Weather Bu- | reau signal service shall have been set in operation it wiil, say the officials, be next | to impossible for a storm of any impor- | tance to escape the notice of observers. | The plan of extensions comprehends the | establishment of uddftional observations | arld and subarid regions of the West. | 1t s ed by Willis L. Moore, chief of the Weather Bureau, that the places of | observation in arid and sub-arid districts | of the country have been so widely | separated hitherto that it has not| been possible to secure a perfect survey | of the distribution of temperature and | atmospheric conditions so essential to | making accurate forecasts not only for | | those regions but for the extensive area | further to eastward. Provisions have ! been made for the installation and equip- | ment of stations at Kalispell, Mont., Boise | City, Idaho, Mount Tamalpais, California. | Flagstaff, Ariz., and Fort Worth, Tex. Arrangements have also been made for the establishment of additional stations in the South and central valleys as fol- lows: Meridian, Miss.. Macon, Ga., Lex- ington. Ky., Elkins, W. Va., and Evans- ville, Ind.” Tt is claimed that the estab- lishment of these stations will not only assist in the development of agricultural and industrial Interests in the respective | States in which they are located but will also be of material bénefit in Improving warnings and forecasts, especially for re- glons west of the Rocky Mountains. | CONTRACTORS DEFY THE LABOR LAWS City Attorney Boyd of San Rafael ‘Will Sue the Buckman Con- tracting Company. SAN RAFAEL, March 9.—As soon as the Buckman Contracting Company fin- ishes the construction of the flushing ba- sin for the new gravity outfall sewer sys- tem City Attorney Thomas P. Boyd will bring sult against it for an alleged viola- tion of the labor laws. This will be the | first time the clause of the law applicable in this instance has ever suffered a legal test. * The law requires that on State. county and municipal works paid $2 for working eight hours a day. The company paid only $17 a day to about twenty men, despite the fact that the law | applicable in this instance was incorpor- ated in its bond. About ten men made complaint to the City Attorney, and for s doing were dischgrged by the company The matter was brought to the attention of the Board of Town Trustees, which autherized the suit. ety Joe Corbett Quits the Diamond.

For several weeks lately guests of the Bardin House of this city, or at least those having rooms on the third floor, | have been annoyed during the night by | noises on the roof of the hotel, which appeared to be people walking around, but it was hardly thought that this could be the case. Late last night, however, the clerk was summoned from the office by a call bell ringing furious- 1y, and on going to the room indicated was informed by the woman occupant that a man was on the roof and had attempted to get into hier room through the skylight. It appears that the ser- vants of this hotel occupy inside rooms and that the skylights in the roof are the only means of getting daylight in them. The glass is not frosted, and last night one of the woman servants when about to retire thought she saw |2 man’s face at the pane. She was not sure, but walited until it appeared again jand this time close to the glass she | recognized it to be a man’s at once. She made the call for the clerk. Upon tell- ing him her story he armed himself and went to the roof and found ‘“Jack the Peeper” in the act of spying into an- other young woman'’s room through the skylight. 'Lhe man was recognized to be a factory employe and a guest of the hotel. Whether or not the man intend- ed robbery is not known. He made all kinds of excuses as to why he was on the roof, star-gazing, etc., and was compelled to come down. Upon reach- ing the street he was given a beating. This afternoon, however, when the story became known reports were re- ceived from various reputable ladles, single and mothers of families, that similar occurrences had taken place for several weeks past. A man had been seen peeping through the windows and they were afraid to go out unless with male members of their family. A watch was set, but was futile till last night. The young man caught is a boiler- maker at Spreckels and respectably connected in San Francisco, where his parents reside. No arrests have been made, but the fellow caught has re- ceived notice to leave town or he will be treated with great severity if not to a coat of tar and feathers
