Output of the District May Be Handled by One Company. Special Dispatch to The Call. BAKERSFIELD, Dec. 3.—According to information received here, another gigan- tic scheme for the solution of the per- plexing questions which now confront ofl producers is soon to be given publicity. It involves the forming of a company for the pooling of the output of the Kern County fields, for mutual protection to its members. John Jonsen Jr. returned from Fresno and San Francisco yesterday, having been in consultation with men identified with { the oil business of Kern County. He says that within one week he will have con- tracts to submit to the oil producers of the Kern fields for an association which shall combine the output of oil, rather than an association of the properties, as the present plans of the Associated Oil Company Frfi\'ldeA | signer will be required to pod! his oil and take pro rata from the sales, according to what he produces. The object of the association will be to make a market for the oil and to handle the production as the market demands. | 8. N. Griffith of Fresno and Henry Ach of San Francisco are connected with the promotion of the scheme. Santa Barbara’s Election. | SANTA BARBARA, Dec. 3.—One of the | quietest city elections held here in years | took place to-day, although'a fairly heavy | vote was cast, the fight being chiefly for Councilmen. George S. Edwards will be | the next Mayor, having no opposition. | Booth is elected City Attorney by a sweeping majority, is Kearney. for Treasurer and Tax Collector. The con- test for Councilmen is veFy close in all of the seven wards. The proposition to |levy atax of 5 cents per $100 valuation for park improvements is carried by an overwhelming majority. as Under the contract the | MURDERS WIFE ON THE STREET WITH K CARGD OF GOAL ABLAZE Scores Witness Crime of | Disastrous Voyage of the a Los Angeles Husband. Culprit Is Hurried to Jail to Escape the Vengeance . of the Crowd. LOS ANGELES, Dec. 3.—John Sampson, a cook, shot and Kkilled his wife to-day at the corner of Fourth and Spring streets. This is one of the busiest spots in the city and at the time of the murder crowds | were on the street. Mrs. Simpson was standing on the cor- ner, shortly after 4 o'clock, talking with another woman, believed to be her moth- er, when Sampson approached and with- out a word of warning placed;the muzzie of a revolver close to his wife's body and fired. The bullet penetrated the heart and the woman fell dead. Instantly a dozen men seized the mur- derer, one of them knocking him down. The revolver was taken from him by an officer, who summoned the patrol wagon with a police guard. A crowd of 2000 gathered about the corner in a few min- utes and there was much excitement and some talk of summary justice. Sampson was hurriedly taken to the County Jail, while the body of his murdered wife was carried to a nearby drugstore and later | removed to the Morgue. From all accounts Sampson is a shift- less fellow who compelled his wife to labor for his support. When she further refused to maintain him in idleness and got employment as a houselkeeper Samp- son threatened to shoot her employer. A warrant was issued for his arrest, but he fled to San Francisco. Returning to Los Angeles recently he awaited his oppor- tunity and murdered his wife. Alden L. Hatheway. VALLEJO, Dec. 3.—Alden L. Hath- eway, an old resident of this city, died suddenly here this morning of heart dis- ease, aged 62. He was prominent as a Mason, United Workman and Knight of Honor. LOS ANGELES, Dec. 3.—The Board of Super- visors to-day granted to the Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad a franchise for a terminal wharf on San Pedro Bay. The tide lands granted the company are 90 feet wide. Big American Ship Roanoke. Puts Into Honolulu After a Long Fight Against Fife and Water. HONOLULU, NoV. 2.—The American ship Roanoke, which was thought to have been lost at sea, being 162 days out from Norfolk, Va., bound for San Francisco, arrived bere to-day in distress, with her cargo of coal on fire. She left Norfolk last June and was shortly after reported afire on the Atlan- tic coast. Later she was reported again as being all right and it was thought that she was safe, but when she failed to ar- rive in San Francisco on tlme fears be- gan to be felt for her, and when a vessel was reported as afire from South America it was supposed that the Roanoke was lost. The Roanoke had an adventurous pas- sage from the other side. On September 20 she was found to be leaking. then off the Horn and found some hard weather. The crew was set to work at the pumps and a windmill was rigged up to_help keep water out of the hold. On November 20 the second danger ap- peared, when the vessel was found to be on fire. After that the water was al- lowed to rise to over four feet in the hold and remain at that level to assist in fight- ing the fire. First Officer Moxon made a daring trip into the hold to locate the trouble, and he succeeded in doing so. It was decided to head Tor Honolulu as the port which could be most quickly reached, and the vessel was accordingiy directed this way. She is thought be badly damaged. The long fight agdinst fire and water continued throughout the trip, but the vessel arrived here still able to safl well. Pieces of charcoal were pumped out, which is thought to indicate that timbers were burned in the hold. A board of underwriters is to examine the vessel and report on her. The Roanake is the largest wooden sail- ing vessel afloat. She is heavily reinsured in San Francisco. —ee No sermon ever bore fruit that had not been buried in the preacher’s heart. | 1l | 4 1 Sailor and Two-P | We have an elegant assortment | from $3.50 up to $1 i The two-piece suits 11 from $2.50 to $10.00 | Elegant assortment ol,g I§ many patterns: on specia {] ing department.

COURT DECIDES ~ AGAINST CLARK Is Sacramentq’s Mayor Beaten in the Oil " Land Suit. Judge Hughes Holds That He ‘Was Not Defrauded by His Partners. “Spectal Dispatch to The Call. SACRAMENTO, Dec. 3—Judge J. W. ughes of the Superior Court to-day ren- ered a decision in the case of Mayor | George H. Clark and his business partner, A. P. Booth, who sued to be reinstated as part owners in valuable oil land in Kern County. The decision is in favor of the defendants—D. W. Carmichael, former Southern Pacific Division Superintendent J. B. Wright, State Librarian J. L. Gillis, Secretary W. T. Sesnon of the Railroad Commission, W. E. Knowles, A. J. Sam- uel and ‘B. F. Porter. .-In their suit, which was tried last spring and attracted State-wide attention, Clark and Booth sought to prove that the de- fendants were guilty of fraudulently in- ducing them to part with thelr two-ninths share of the property for $3555 45, when, as they alleged, the entire property was worth $680,000, and their two-ninths $151,- 100. They charged that Carmichael and Sesnon know that oil had been struck on the land on January 7, 1900, but concealed the fact from the plaintiffs, and by telling them that they (the- defendants) had agreed to sell at $100 per acre, prevailed upon them to sign over their shares for $3555 45, which represented payment on the basis of $100 per acre for. their portion of the property. This transaction oc- curred on January 10, 1900. In his decision Judge Fiughes declares it may be said with absolute certainty that Clark_and Booth failed to prove that oil was discovered on January 7, 1500, while the evidence showed that it was in fact struck nine days thereafter, and six days after Clark and Booth sold their stock. As to the allegation that the defendants at that time knew the land to be im- mensely valuable, Judge Hughes finds the evidence clearly shows that at the time the plaintiffs sold their stock to the de- fendants the lands were not of a greater value than $100 per acre. Plaintiff Clark, remarks the court, wanted a buyer at $100 per acre, and he found one. Judge Hughes goes to the extent of say- ing that, even though both Carmichael and Sesnon made all the representations alleged in the complaint and though these representations were false and known to them to be false, if the plaintiffs obtained all that their stock was worth at the time of the sale they were not damaged and not entitled to any relief on the ground of actual fraud. Albert M. Johnson of counsel for Clark and Booth, declares that the end is not yet. He says he.will appeal the cases to the Supreme Court and institute three fresh suits against each of the defend- ants, first for conversion, second in re- plevin and third, in damages for having taken the real estate of the plaintiffs.

MURDEROUS TRAMP SHOOTS POMONA YOUTH Victim of Wanton Assault Receives Wound That Will Prove Fatal. POMONA, Dec. 3.—Ferd Holt, aged 19 years, was probably fatally wounded by a tramp at the ranch home of his mother, two miles east of here, this afternoon. The young man was alone in the house when the tramp opened the door and at- tempted to enter. Holt intercepted him and the stranger drew a knife. The bo; then seized a chair and knocked the knife from the fellow’s hand. Then the tramp drew a pistol and shot Holt through the left lung. The would-be murderer ran out into the road and escaped. Holt managed to call for help and a neighbor came to his aid. Doctors were summoned and the bullet was found to have emerged two inches below the left shoulder blade and lodged in the clothing. Holt is in a critical condition. Officers are searching the country for his as- sailant. LT MRS. REIKERT TESTIFIES IN SUIT OVER BRANDY Cslls the Opposing Lawyer a “Shy- ster” as She Is Leaving the Stand. REDDING, Dec. 3.—Mrs. Annie Kline Reikert, who was president of the fam- ous “Woman’s Railroad” of Toulumne County, spent two breezy hours upon the witness stand in the Superior Court this morning in a suit over 560 gallons of brandy made by her order. The man who went on her bond sues the man who has a \leln on the brandy for his work in mak- ing it. firs. Reikert and her daughter now live in seclusion upon a remote ranch on Still- water Creek, which they purchased last year. In court to-day Mrs. Reikert testi- fied that she made her livelihood by man- ufacturing brandy. She wandered from the subject frequently and was called to order by Judge Sweeny. As she left the stand she ‘“floored” the oppolln‘ lawyer by calling him a “shyster.” 2 DR. KILMER'S SWAMP-ROOT. DO YOU GET UP - WITH A LAME BACK? = / Have You Rheumatism N~ ?

It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distress- ing cases. A trial will convince any one | —and you may have a sample bottle free, | by matl. Backache and Urinary Trouble. Among the many famous cures of SWwamp- | Root investigated by The Call the one we pub- | 1ish to-day for the benefit of our readers speaks in the highest terms of the wonderful curative | properties of this great kidney remedy. l DR. KILMER & CO., Binghamton, N. Y. H Gentlemen: When I wrote you last March | for a sample bottle of Swamp-Root my wife was a great sufferer from backache, rheuma- tism and urinary trouble. After trying the sample bottle she bought a large bottle here at the drugstore. That did her so much good she bought more.. The effect of Swamp-Root was wonderful and almost immediate. She has felt no return of the old trouble since. Oct., 1901. F. THOMAS, 311 Nortbampton st., Buffalo, N. Y. Lame back is only one symptom of kid- ney trouble—one of many. Other symp- toms showing that you -need Swamp- Root are, obliged to pass water often during the day and to get up many times at night, inabillty to hold your urine, smarting or irritation in passing, brick- dust or sediment in the urine, catarrh of the bladder, uric acid, constant head- ache, dizziness, sieeplessness, nervous- ness, irregular heart-beating, rheuma- tism, bloating, irritability, worn out feei- ing, lack of ambition, loss of flesh, sal- low complexion. If your water when allowed to remain undisturbed In a glass or bottle ror twenty-four hours forms a sediment or settling, or has a cloudy appearance, it is evidence that your kidneys and blad- der need immediate attention. In taking Swamp-Root you afford natu- ral help to Nature, for Swamp-Root is the most perfect healer and gentle aid to the kidneys that is kmown to medical science. Swamp-Root is the great discovery of Dr. Kilmer, the eminent kidney and blad- der specialist. Hospitals use it with won- derful success in both slight and severe cases. Doctors recommend it to their patients and use it in their own families, because they recognize in Swamp-Root the greatest and most successful remedy. If you have the slightest symptom of kidney or bladder trouble, or if there is a trace of it in your family history, send at once to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., who will gladly send you free by malil, immediately, without cost to you, a sample bottle of Swamp-Root and a book of wonderful Swamp-Root testimonial Be sure to say that you read this gen ous offer in the San Francisco Dally Call. If you are already convinced that Swamp-Root is what you need, you can purchase the regular fifty-cent and_ one- dollar size bottles at drug stores.

S ——— LAWMAKERS UNITE FOR THE EXCLUSION OF THE CHINESE Continued From Page One. missioner Powderly, and they are re- sponding to his request for suggestions. Congressman Woods is recognized as one of the best informed men in the Pa- cific coast delegation concerning Chinese immigration. e has been in correspond- ence with Sheriffs of California counties, customs_officlals, boards of health and other official bodies, and is well equipped with facts and figures. A good many points contained in a bill drawn by Woods will be adopted by Powderly, and it is likely that the Commissioner's bill will be the one chosen by the caucus on Fri- day. 24 Clearness Is Required. Some points in Kahn's bill will be also included. It is proposed by Powderly in his bill to continue the present act in force | indefinitely and to make it more effective | by defining more clearly those Chinese who are te be exempt from its provisions, so that different customs officials may not (as they do now) put different interpreta- tions upon the provision relating to the exempt class. Kahn last year introduced a bill granting the United States the right of appeal from decisions of commission- ers in the cases of Chinese immigrants, and making the penalty for infractions of the exclusion law more severe. Some provisions of his bill introduced yesterday may also -be included in the measure being drawn by Powderly. It designates certain ports of entry on the Canadian and Mexican borders (where rallroads cross into the United States) as posts where Chinese and all other immi. grants will be subjected to a rigid exam- ination. * “I belleve that by ldofuns these rro— visions,” said Kahn to-night, “it will be impossible for Chinese to enter with cer- tificates belonging to others. The bill seeks to protect us from paupers, anarch- ists and all kinds of undesirable immi- granis who seek to enter illegally. These immigrants, who, on account of rigid in- spection at the big seaports of the United States, have been denied entry, have found it easy to cross by rail from Can- ada and Mexico because the inspection at these boundary posts has been lax, but I believe my bill will correct this.” Western Men Will Meet. The call to be issued to the Pacific coast delegations for a caucus has n dele- gated to Metcalf and Coombs, and_they are at work on it at the Arlington Hotel to-night. Metcalf says he has no personal knowl- ed{e that Hitt of Illinois will oppose the bill. “But no matter,” said he, “it will pass. I have talked with leaders’ in both Sen- ate and House. There is no organized opposition, so far as I can see, and very few individual opponents. Of course, there is always the danger of unexpected complications, but none are in sight. 1 have talked with such- men as Senator Aldrich, Senator Spooner, Senator Mason and Senator Lodge. They say there is not the slightest doubt that the bill will pass. Senator Mason said he never realized the terrible conditions in China- town, San _Francisco. until he went through it. Mason said it would be crim- inal not to continue the exclusion of Chi- nese.’” A report was circulated to-night that Senator Clark of Montana would oppose exclusion. and the California mem] were greatly surprised. “It is not true,” said Senator Clark to The Call correspondent to-night. “I will certainly vote for exclusion.” “So will 1" said Serator Gibson, who succeeds Carter from Montana. And Smith Is His Name. Thus far only one feeble voice has been raised against the exclusion bill. This in- dividual is obscured by the name of Smith. There are six Smiths in the House, but this particular one is named Henry. He hails from Michigan. Smith said to Con- gressman Gordon of Ohio to-day that he would vote against exciusion, but he had received petitions from his district repre- senting that Chinese were desirable labor- ers and were needed for certain kinds of work. Smith probably will be one of a lonesome minority, for the bill will pass by a majority of three-fourths, or more. “If there are fifty votes cast against it I shall be surprised,” said a California member. “I believe the roll call will be dispensed with.” sald Kahn. The California delegation resents the action of the San Francisco mass conven~ tion in sending a committee on here. Th declare the committee can do fo good, and on account of its personnel might do considerable harm. NEW LAWS NEEDED FOR THE PHILIPPINES Leaders in the House Will Frame Measure for Adjustment of Revenue Affairs. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 3.—The $» preme Court decision relative to the Phile ippines has brought to the attention of leaders in Congress the need of legisla- tion for the archipelago somewhat on the lines of that enacted for Porto Rico and particularly connected with revenue ques- tions. and imports from the Philippines. Such legislation will originate in the House of Representatives. , In some quarters there was talk to-da: that, the Speaker would announce the membership of the Ways and Means Committee this week, but there is no authoritiative statement on the subject. In any event the House leaders doubtless T prepare the general framework of a Philippine bill before or during the holi- ays. Argument Heard in Carter’s Case. ‘WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.—Argument was heard to-day in the Urited States Su- preme Court in the habeas corpus case of Captain O. M. Carter, brought here on appeal from the decision of the Circuit Court for the District of Kansas, where Carter’s petition was denied. He was rep- resented by P. Blair. H. L.
