S. ATTORNEY COOMBS WRIT- ING HIS REPORT. pee g He Will State All the Leading Facts, but Will Make No Recommen- dations Whatever in the Matter. e United States Attorney Coombs pre- pared yesterday a statement to the At- torney General on the Welburn case for the information of the Department of Justice. He simply recites the facts of the two trials of Welburn, his acquittal the first trial, the disagreement of the jury on the second trial and the fact that eight of the jurors on the second trial were for acquittal. He also gives his opinion to the Attorney General as to the causes which have operated Welburn's favor, notwithstanding the strong case made against him by the Gov- ernment; but he makes no recommenda- tlon as to the future disposition of the case. Said Mr. Coombs yesterday: “I am re- porting all the incidents of the trial un- der a former administration of this office and of the second trial conducted by my- self because it is a matter of considera- ble magnitude; and I desire the depart- ing, pestilential and dangerous.

Thus it comes about that | Southern planter complains of hard time whil the conditions. A summary recently given in the New York Her- ald of the testimony of New Jer: farmers before the | commis makes a remarkably good showing for | the rural industries of that State, notwithstanding the | e Eastern granger seems fairly well content with his | a on fact that the prices of farm products are less than in former years, and labor costs more. A scien- | tific treatment of .the soil has increased its produc- | tiveness and better methods of farming have increased the output, so that while the development of railway transportation has brought the West and the South into competition with the farmers of New Jersey, the latter are still able to make a comiortable living with less work than was required to attain less of comfort | fort ars ago. According to the testimony the farmers of that por- tion of the country have good houses, horses, car- riages and farm buildings. They have pianos and organs in their homes, and the opportunities for so- cial and intellectual enjoyment are far superior to what they were in the last generation. Nor is it the farmer only who has benefited by recent changes. | The farm laborer has profited as well as his employer, | and it was noted that throughout the State there is | a general tendency to shorten the hours of the work- | ing day on farms as well as to increase the pay. On one point, however, the farmers agreed in com- | plaint. They assert with positiveness that the qual- ity of farm labor has declined since they were boys. | The young men of the rural districts do not remain to | work on the farms, as was the custom of the former | generation. They go to the cities or to the West, and the farmer has to content himself with a much lower | class of workers than was at the service of his pre- | decessor before the war. | A complaint of that nature is not surprising. From! the beginning of the age of civilization that brought about between men the relation of employed and em- ployer there has been dissatisfaction on one side o the other. The servant girl problem perplexes the ! housekeepers of every land and every age, and the| farm boy problem harasses the farmer. Despite the | complaints now made of farm labor it is quite prob- | able that it is equal to if not positively better than i was a generation ago. At any rate, if the farmers of the East have no other complaint to make than that;‘ of employes, they are not worse off than the people of | the cities. While Los Angeles entertains the educators of the nation, San Francisco welcomes the agricultural ex- perts, and the situation is perfectly proper—we need to learn something about rural industry and Los An- geles is in need of book-learning.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JULY 6, 1899 e ter was foolish enough to tell Judge Mo B[ ATEN BN THE HEAD WIT ) BEVOLVER Policeman D. W. Boyd in Trouble. e BRUTALLY TREATS A CITIZEN —— CONTRACTOR DAVID R. PERRY'S SCALP OPENED. The Two Men Had Not Been on Friendly Terms for Years and Perry Was Wanted on Bench Warrants. S Policeman David W. Boyd, who is at- tached to the Boys' and Girls’ Aid Society, will probably have to appear before the Police Commissioners for his conduct to- ward David R. Perry, the contractor and builder, while arresting him y-—slerday afternoon at Larkin and McAllister streets. At least ten witnes will come forward and testify that Boyd used Perry in a brutal and cowardly manner. Perry failed to appear in Judge Mogan's court yesterday morning when his name was called to answer the charges of dis- turbing the peace and exhibiting a deadiy weapon at a restaurant on Stockton street on Tuesday morning. He had been re- leased on his own recognizance by Judge Treadwell. Judge Mogan issued bench. warrants for his arrest and made an or- der that no bail should be accepted. Boyd knows Perry well, as he claims that Perry built a house for him some years ago and considerably overcharged him for extras. Since then Boyd has not been friendly disposed toward Perry. He knew that Perry was arrested on Tuesday morning, also that he failed to appear vesterday morning and bench warrants were out for his arrest. Perry was at the southwest corner of Larkin and McAllister streets yesterday afternoon, when Boyd saw him. Boyd promptly grabbed him and, pulllng his revoiver out of his pocket, struck Perry on the head with it, knocking him down. He pulled him up and continued to strike him on the head with the revolver till some bystanders interfered and further brutality was stopped. Perry, with the blood running down his face and neck, was taken to the City Prison, and, after being booked, was sent to the Receiving Hospital, where two wounds in his scalp were stitched and dressed. He had also several abrasions on his scalp. He was then locked up in the rison. pBDyd sald that when he grabbed hold of Perry he made for him and he pulled out his handecuffs to defend himself, as Perry was crazy and might have had'a gun, as P had the previous morning. He simply hit him on the head with the handcuffs to keep him in subjection. Later Boyd ad- mitted that he did not use the handcuffs but his revolver. Ed Smoot, the saloon-keeper on the cor- ner, went to the hospital to see how Perry had fared. He was indignant at the treat- ment to which Perry had been subjected, “If the officer had been arresting an oX, he said, ‘‘instead of a human being he could not have acted in_a more brutal manner. 1 did not see the beginning of the fight, but I saw Boyd pull Perry up from the ground and smash him on_the head with the revolver. All the time Per- ry had his hands up. crving, ‘Don’t strike me; I'll go—I'll go.’ It was an outrage, and ten reputable business men who saw it came into my saloon and left me their names and addresses, saying they would willingly come forward and test agalnst the officer.” Perry denied that he offered any resist- ance. All that he did was to wheel arouna to see who had grabbed him by the shoul- der, and Boyd commenced to use his re- volver. “I had reasons,” said Perry, “for not being in court this and morning, called to see my attorney, Archie Camp- bell, about it. He was not in, and I had reached the corner when Boyd grabbed me.” Two Buildings Burned. Ten minutes before noon yesterday a fire broke out in the premises at No. 2137 and 2139 Jones street, and involved the adjoining building, No. 2140 Jones street, occupied by Mrs. Bridget Manning.
