COUNTIES GREET THE NEWCOMERS Sacramento Valley Takes Lead in an Important Movement, —_— Headquarters Opened With the State Board of Trade for Purpose of Informing Possible Colonists. — The countles of Shasta, Tehama, Butte, Yuba, Sutter, Placer, Nevada, Sacramen- to, Glenn, Colusa, Yolo and Solano have beaten all others in getting themselves before the crowds of Eastern people who are arriving on colonist tickets. Since Monday of the present week all visitors to the State Board of Trade have been met and talked with by F. E. Wright, representing the Sacramento Valley De- | velopment Association as secretary, and he has been literally overwhelmed by the, inquiries about the Sacramento Valley. All the counties enumerated in the fore- going are members of the Sacramento De- velopment Association and contribute their funds to its maintenance. The State Board of Trade has furnished the asso- clation with desk room and other accom- modations. ‘While the Sacramento Valley people are first In the field, the expectation is that the San Joaquin Valley Commercial As- soclation and perhaps the Santa Clara Valley Improvement Club will soon take ! measures to have their advantages as well presented as are those of the northern countles. Some idea of the extent to which the great ranches of the northern counties are being broken u‘) for the settling of the Sacramento Valley is indicated by the lit- erature that Mr. Wright has. The great Bidwell ranch and the C. D. Wilson ranch in Butte County are on the list. The Wil- son ranch is broken up into tracts of from 160 to 600 acres. The Bidwell ranch is subdivided into tracts of from five acres upward. The Wilson ranch embraces 22,- 000 acres and the Bidwell ranch 23.000] acres. Prices per acre have been placed upon both ranches. The colony tracts of | the Sacramento Valley are also the sub- | ject of inquiry. The sending by the Sacramento Valley Association of a representative to San Francisco indicates the new policy that ! the counties of the interior have adopted. | The State Board of Trade gives much | general information about the State to inquirers, but does not deal with any par- | ticular locality, with the exception of | handing out the literature that is on hand | when it is asked for. Hence the Sacra- | mento Vauey counties have pioneered the way to come into direct contact with the | newcomers. Mr. Wright Is acquainted | with all the counties represented by the | Sacramento Valley Assoclation. He is| alded by the exhibits that the State Board | of Trade has. ASKS CIVIL SERVICE BOARD FOR MORE TIME Scott Will Consult With His Attor- ney Before Appointing Elig- ible Deputies. Tax Collector Scott had a conference with Civil Service Commissioners Freud and Quinn yesterday regarding his inten- tions to put to work the men he had se- lected from the deputies’ eligible list. Scott agreed to appoint fourteen deputies, who were certified by the commission on February 13, but he left the same day on a pleasure trip to Tahitl, When the depu- ties presented themselves at the tax of- fice the next morning there was no one | to swear them in, and up to date they have not been assigned to duty. | Commissioner Freud asked Scott what he intended to do, and after parleying Scott requested that he be granted an ex- tension of time until he had consulted with his attorney, - Ruef. Scott said he desired to learn um:mnr.munmnununimmmmmmnummmmmm the writ of mandate served on the commission in the Seyden case affected his course. Freud informed Lim that the writ concerned only the Civil Service Comm!ssion, as it compelled it to show cause why separate examinations should be held for deputyships in the li- cense and tax offices. The injunction not to certify any nemes for the positions was of no effect, as the fourteen certifica- tions had already been made to Scott and | had been accepted by that official, Scott was given a copy of the writ, which he will submit to his attorney, and he will give a definite reply to the com- mission to-day. It 1s said that Scott's | anxiety for delay is the fact that the Tyr- rell bill, which passed both houses and is in the hands of the Governor, will prohib- | it him from discharging the old deputies | or any employes who have taken the oath | of office. R . Dispute About a Body. The police were asked yvesterday to ar- bitrate in a dispute over the body of Cor- nelius Soderman, who was fatally injured | at the Risdon Iron Works Saturday and | died Sunday at St. Luke's Hospital. So- derman was a member of the Sailors’ | Union, and when the union ascertained that the body had been sent to an un- dertaker’s they sent a request that it be handed over to the union's undertakers. The request was complied with. Soder- man’s relatives took a hand in the mat- ter and wanted the bod{; handed over to them for interment. Their request was declined and they appealed to the police, who advised them to obtain a search war- rant. They applied for the warrant, but Warrant Clerk Fitzpatrick, backed up by Judge Cabaniss, refused to issue it, on the ground that a dead body is not property. —_——— Paxton Repudiates Doctor’s Bill, The action instituted by Dr. Grant Self- ridge against Blitz W. Paxton and his former wife, Bessie E. Paxton, who re- cently abandoned the soclety drawing- room for the vaudeviile stage, to recover $918 for treating the son of the defendants, was tried and submitied for decision by Judge Seawell yestorday. Dr. Selfridge and Dr. J. 8. Brooks testified as to the reasonableness of the plaintiff's claim, Mr. Paxton was placed on the stand in his own defense and reé;udlated the claim, saying that he did not authorize the treatment of his son by Dr. Selfridge. The case was then argued and submittes D ADVERTISEMENTS. SENT FREE TO MEN! A Most Remarkable Remedy That Quickly Restores Lost Vigor to Men. A Free Trial Package Sent by Mall to All Who Write.

Albert Schwartz, a fireman on the trans- port Kilpatrick, had a thrilling experience with an ex-convict yesterday morning and succeeded in holding him, after a desper- ate struggle for more than an hour until a peliceman appeared on the scene and placed the thug under arrest on a charge of robbery. Schwartz and a companion started out Monday night to see the sights. He had $200 in his pockets, made up of greenbacks and gold. About 3 o'clock yesterday morn- ing the two men were in a saloon, the ex- act location of which Schwartz does not know, when Rebert Phillips, who was re- leased from San Quentin last April, after serving a term for burglary, entered with a woman. Schwartz and his frlend were shaking dice for drinks and Phillips joined them. TLey had several drinks together. Be- tween 8 and 9 o'clock Schwartz left the saloon and found Phillips standing out- side. Phillips offered to take Schwartz to the transport and they walked along sev- eral blocks, Phillips making himself very agreeable. Schwartz finally got tired of walking around and as they were in a se- cluded sort of place Le became suspicious and asked Phillips where the transport was, as he could see the bay, but no ships. “How much money have you got in your pockets?” asked Phillips. Schwartz pulled out a handful of gold and silver and Phillips struck his hand, scattering the coin. He picked up two 320 gold pleces and ran. hwartz quickly gathered together the rest of the coin and started in pursuit of Phillips. He chased him several blocks before being able to overtake him. Phillips showed fight and Schwartz was game. Lhey exchanged sev- eral blows and finally Schwartz landed on Phillips’ jaw and knocked him down. He jumped on top of him and held him. boy came along and Schwartz gave him a 50-cent piece to find a policeman. The boy found Police Officer Sheehan o Bay street, between Stockton and Powell streets, and the officer accompanied him to the place where Schwartz and Phillips were strugsling on the ground. Phillips was taken to the Receiving Hos- ital after being booked. An examination v Dr. Richard Armistead showed that he had been badly beaten and perhaps in- jured internally. TO ERECT A MONUMENT TO STEPHEN M. WHITE Movement to Honor the Memory of the Late Senator Is Being Started by Friends. A monument is to be erected to the memory of the late Senator Stephen M. White.

Truly here is ‘“‘the lie stance.” Ponlatowskl claims that he is a *real Prince,” whereas the Mayor gives him the lie by calling him a ‘“gambler.” This is a “lie with circumstance,” as it is qual- ified by the Mayor's statement that he cannot enter into a discussion with a man whose business is gambling. | There now remains but one more stage of the quarrel as defined by the Bard of Ayon. 1t is “the lle direct.” | Will Prince Poniatowskl give “the lie direct” to the Mayor?

If amnesty is extended by the California Jockey Club to all ruled off or suspended persons a great rider will be restored to the saddle. Over a year ago the officials of the track across the bay ruled Willie Martin off the turf for life on the strength of certain evidence they possessed. Mar- tin is one of the best-known riders in this country, and the ruling created a sensa- tion in Eastern and Middle Western turf circles, where the disgraced rider had seen much service. Ever since the Incep- tlon of the present racing season Martin has resided at a downtown hotel and has been indefatigable in his efforts to secure reinstatement. Now success seems within his reach. Time will tell whether or not Willie has lost his cunning in the saddle, as often happens to be the case when a boy is kept on the ground for any length of itme. n the past Martin piloted Elkwood. the Su- burban winner, the mighty Clifford and many other star performers. If restored to good standing, Martin will be signed by the well-known racing firm of Burns & Waterhouse. Joe Rose, the bookmaker, is another im- Eonant personage that would be affected y the removal of the ban. Joe was ac- cused of ‘“laying against” Red Pirate in a race at Oakland when ridden by “Long- shot”” Coniey. The horse made a wretched showing, and, after an investigation, Rose was ruled off Oakland track and the col- ored boy indefinitely suspended. Rose is now booking at Tanforan Park. Among the many others who would wel- come reinstatement are the following: Ruled oft the track—Owners, W. Willls, Harry Wise. Tralners and Jockeys, J. Garri- son, A. Johnson, Goodman, Moyer, H. Moose Taylor, McCluskey, A. R. Hill, Andy Davis, Ollle Johnson, Al Goodwin, Charles McMur- ray, J. McDonald, Willie Fiynn, W. Mar- tin. with ecircum- | I i Indefinitely suspended—Jockeys R. Williams, M. Fell, Cleveland Wallace. A. Willlams. Re- gan, Elits, W. H. Martin, J. Ward. J. Conley (Glnl:g Shot), W. Narvaez, Duffy, Moody, Ben ouin. Warned off the track—Owners, tralners and bookmakers—Sana: MeN; hton, . Sec Nichols. i iy R Barred from the track—Owners and jockeys, Danny J. Lynch, Joe Piggott, M. Henry. el NO PLAN TO HURT WILLIAMS. Owners Will Not Refuse to Race on His Tracks. A report gained circilation at Tanforan when the sale of the San Francisco Jockey Club to the Williams interests was verified that some of the more prominent Eastern owners had made an agreement not to ship their stables to California next season. It was further stated that an understanding between several mem- bers of the Owners’ and Trainers’ Mutual Association indorsed the move. Pat Dunne, a member of the executive committee of the Owners’ Association, emphatically denied yesterday that any such foolish action had been considered. Dunne is one of the most intelligent and sensible men racing horses in the West. “Horsemen, as a rule, are not fools,” sald Dunne yesterday. “I never heard of any such plan to injure the California Jockey Club. Owners, to begin with, can never tell six months ahead where they will race. The report probably grew out of the receipt by me of several telegrams from members of the association trying to involve horsemen belonging to it who are now in California in the imbroglio be- tween the old Turf Congress and the re- cently organized Western Jockey Club over the proposed outlaw rule issued by the latter. answered for myself and others that I considered the matter es- sentially a_controversy between the track owners and jockey clubs, which in ne way demanded action or recommendations from the horsemen, and that they would better attend to their own business and keep out of all such squabbles. We have enough troubles now without courting more. Other turfmen who denied all knowledge of the scheme to keep horses away from California next fall are Alex Shields, Tommy Magee, John Carroll and “Curly” Shields. Major McLaughlin Returns. Major Frank McLaughlin returned to the city last night after an extended trip throughout the East. Several months ago the major left California, as his health was failing and he feit that the change would restors him. His trip was one purely of pleasure, and as a result he r turns to Snn Francisco very much im- roved in health. He is registered at the dalace. where he will remain for a few ays.
