J. B. King was | to-day sentenced to serve a term of ten| years in San Quentin prison. Last week | King, who is accused of the murder of § H. Chureh at Two Rock in July, was tried | for murder. The jury returned a verdict | finding him guilty of manslaughter. When | brought into court this morning he was accompanied by his wife, who has scarce- | 1y left his side since he was arrested. At- | torney Lennon for the defense made a mo- al. One of the errors as- | signed as a reason for a mew trial was | that the court had admitted Church’s | deathbed declaration. Church being an atheist this declaration should not have been admitted, counsel contended. Mr. Lennon said that where a man did not be- lMeve in a hereafter his final declaration | did not come within the theory of the Jaw that a man about to die would not go into the presence of his Maker with a | lie on his lips. Judge Angeliott! denled the motion for a new trial, and defendant’s counsel then | reviewed the case at length and asked the | court to be lenient with the prisoner. Judge Angellotti sentenced King to ten years in San Quentin. King, whose cool- ness heretofore had caused court specta- tors to marvel, broke down and wept. His wife threw her arms abput his neck and tried to_offer him some comfort. With good behavior King will have to serve about six years and seven months.

Salt The construction of Senator Clark’s new rafiroad between Los Angeles and Salt Lake City to be commenced at once. Articles of incorporation are to be filed | this week. An order was placed last week with the Colorado Fuel and Iron Works for 8000 tons of rails, and the stock is to be shipped to Southern California within thirty days. | A meeting of the projectors of the new | road is to be held in Salt Lake City this | week, when final arrangements will be | completed. Senator W. A, Clark will be | president, R. C. Kerens of St. Louls is | booked for vice president and T. E. Gib- | bon of Los Angeles will be chief counsel. The company will have a capitalization of | $24,000,000. The reason for having the rafls shipped to Southern California is explained by the announcement that it is the purpose of the promoters to first build a line between | Los Angelesand San Bernardino. The | £000 tons of ralls that have been ordered | ! will just about bulld a track between | these two places | Upon the completion of this section of the line, which, by the way, has already been surveyed, the surveying for the re- mainder of the road will have been com P and work will then be started at | Salt Lake City, the plan being to have a | force busy simultaneously at both ends of the line. The total length of the road will | be about 700 miles, which will require about 90,000 tons of rails. | It is reported that the United Forward- ing Company and the Fruit Growers' Ex- | change, which combined control from 80 10 % per cent of the oranges and lemons | of the State, have made an arrangement | with Senator Clar¥ to turn over to his | line all their fruit for a series of years. | | About a year ago it was seriously sug- | gested that it would be a good idea for | the orange shippers to hold out an induce- | | ment of this sort to capitalists who would | build a road between Los Angeles and Salt | | Lake. but nothing was done in the matter | | at that time. As the fruit growers of Southern California control shipments for which the freight amounts to $5.000,000 or $5.000,000 per vear it will be seen that an agreement with the Clark people along some such line as mentioned would be no | small inducement for the promoters of the | | line. - | COAST LINE NEARLY READY. ,1 Two Through Trains Ovar New Route Daily to Los Angeles.

B ST, TO TEST LEGALITY OF LOS ANGELES BONDS City Council Instructs Counsel to at Once Institute Legal Pro- ceedings. LOS ANGELES, Nov. 6.—Herman Sil- ver, president of the City Council, to-day introduced a resolution, which was adopt- ed, instructing the City Attorney to at once Institute legal proceedings for the purpose of determining the legality of the clty's §2,090,000 issue of water works bonds. Mayor Eaton to-day sent a communica- tion to the City Council recommending an appropriation of upward of $192,000 for the construction of head works and a filtering plant which can be used in con- nection with the present water works sys- tem, if the city acquire it, or with a new plant if the city decide to construct one. Some two years ago when it was voted to issue $2,090,000 of bonds for the purchase of the existing water works system or the construction of an iniependent one by the city, provision was made in the tax levy for money with which to pay the interest on the bonds and to provide a sinking fund. The legality of the bonds was called into question and has not yet been decided, so none of the bonds have been sold and the $192,000 referred to rep- resents the accumulation resulting from interest money and the mom use of the sinking fund. e LIGHTHOUSE-KEEPERS PERISH Overturned Boat and Two Bodies Found by Indians.

FISHERMEN N STBERIAN PRISONS | Wholesale Seizures That Will Tend | to Increase the Ill Feeling Be- tween the Two Coun- | tries. s %5 3 i Epecial Dispatch to The Call. | TACOMA, Nov. 5.—Serious trouble be- | | tween Russia and Japan is likely to ensue | over wholesale seizures of Japanese fish- | ing boats and fishermen by Russian au- | | thoritles in Siberia. The steamship | | Queen Adelaide brings news that nine- | teen boats, having on board 153 fisher- | | men, are known to have been seized late | |in September. It is believed that the | | actual number is at least twice these fig- | ures, but the exact facts cannot be ascer- tained for some time owing to the efforts of the Russians to keep them as quiet as | | possible. | For some time past Russians have been | | Jealous of the flshing privileges along the | Siberian coast, their object being to con- | serve them for the exclusive use of Rus- | sian subjects. Their dislike for Japanese ll‘.—hmdl“d_. and bets on the heighth of the chease. fishermen has been heightened by the | | fact that the latter obtained the best | fishing rights off the coast of Korea, where the Russians were outmaneuvered a year ago. The Korean fisheries have not turned out'as well this year as usual, | which fact led the Japanese to cruise further northward into Siberian waters. There they were unexpectedly surround- ed by several Russian gunboats and taken Into port as prizes. Their boats and equipment were conflscated and the fishermen put into jall. Last summer sixty-seven Japanese fish- ermen were selzed by the Russian author- ities for alleged trespassing In Bering | Sea.
