2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 1902. NEGRO SHOOTS THE GONSTABLE Fatally Wounds Nevada Officer in a Gun Fight. Perpetrator of the Deed May Be Lynched by a Mob. Special Dispatch to The Call. RENO, Nev., Jan. 9.—Constable C. H Leeper ‘was shot and mortally wounded | by a negro named Scott in the tenderloin district to-night. The shooting was the | result of the officer's attempt to arrest the negro. Several shots were fired by both men, and one of the bullets struc Scott. He managed to escape, however, and a posse captured him. Much indig- | nation is expressed over the affair and there have already been threats of a lynching. 2 At 6:30 this evening Leeper feceived a telephone message asking -him to go im- mediately to the Palm Saloon to arrest Secott, who had just shot Van.Sickle, surveyor, through the leg. Leeper hu ried to the salo n, and, approsching Scot announced that he wanted” the latter accompany him to the jail. Scott was a furious mood and suddenly began shoot- ing at the constable. One bullet entered Leeper's domen and another sed through right h Leeper dr pistol as he was fa 10 the flog turned it loose on his black assailant. The negro fell after the second ‘shot, but quickly sprang to his feet ana:dashed | out of the saloon. { Immediately after the shooting the town | was in an uproar. A posse of 200 men was organized and started to hunt down the negro. The streets were thronged with | excited men carrying weapons and threats | of Iynching were openly made. The iron bridge which spans the Truckee River was | selected as the place for hanging the negro. At 11 o'clock Scott was daptured in cgbin 200 yards from the sceme of - the | shooting. Officer Ferrell broke open the door and covered Scott with his gun. Hez was found with a bullet hole in the abdo- men in almost the identical spor where the officer was hit. He is believed to be in a daying condition. An ambulance | rushed to the place, and under the escort of a large force of policemen Scott was | taken to the County Jail before the mob | knew of the capture. Sheriff McInnis a large number of deputies ani ly persuaded the mob to depart | e jail.

In dnticipation of a vote on the Nica- raguan canal bill there was a large tendance on the floor when the Ho met. Under the order made yesterds the general debate was to elose at o'clock, when the bi as to be read for emendment under gpe five-minute rul Adamson of Georgia, the first speal y, urged the passage of the Hep- il without amendment. He argued he time had come for action and| equivocation now could only result delaying the commencement of th Panama Canal Compan offer to make which we woul accept, he said, there would" be -timc ugh to take advantage of it when the was pending in the Senate or later in conference. Wooten of Texas also argued that the bill should be passed without amendmen:. He regarded the Morris amendment as a modern Trojan horse.

The bullding of this canal, he said, was a business propesition and should be considered from a business standpoint. Gentlemen talked abouvt this proposed canal, having been agitated for 400 vears, and used that as an argument | why members of Congress should fall | over each other to vote for the pending | bill. Personally he had favor8 a canal for years, but because he had not been willing to proceed without information and against fixed treaty laws he had been called hard names. E Cannon at this point clashed sharply with Hepburn, who is in charge of the bill. When Hepburn made some quick reply to a criticism of Cannon the latte observed amid laughter that if the gen tleman from Jowa were only as strdight- forward as he was ~‘flip of tongue” he would be a better legislator. + Representative Cannon’s Views. Caanon, discussing the language of the bill, acked what was meant by authoriz- icg the President to *‘obtain full control over the land upon which the canal “was to be built.” Did it mean the purchase and ownership of miles of property owned by speculators, both American and Nic- araguan? With great emphasis Cannon declared that in his judgment the general appropriation which - the bill contained ard “artful language” of it would cause the claim that it gave the President full power not only io pay Nicaragua and Costa Rica, but the Maritime Canal Com- pany and European, American and Nica- raguan speculators—how much he cculd not tell. It might be five, ten or twenty- | five millions. He denounced what he termed the undue haste of those who want to build this canal “between now and sunrise to-morrow.” He also ob- jected to the authorization the bill con- tained to negotiate contracts for the whole works. Cannon said he would vote for the Morris amendment, and if it failed he would move to recommit the bill with amendments he had suggested. De Armond of Missour! said the ques- | tion before the American people was not | as to whether Congress would s a bill for the isthmian canal, but whether the bill would be matured and proper when passed. If confidence existed in the Pres. | idert, why should he not be given the op- Rynunm’ to negotiate with Colombia or icaragua, according to the information | in his possession? Alternative- authority should enable him to make better terms. | Experts differed as to the advantages | of the two routes. Why mnot give the| President the discretion to select? No risk would be involved in it. The bill, he | ker officers, | fiable, had been 1§ PASSED | -— | light,” | had already been extinguished. INDIANS SEE WRECKED CRAFT Unknown Vessel Turns Turtle Off Vancouver Island. Surf Along Northern Coast ‘e Bears Abundant Fragments. Special Dispatch to The Call. VICTORIA, B. C., Jan. 9.—The steamer Queen City, which returned this evening | from Ahousett and way ports on the Vancouver Island coast, brought more 1ews of wreckage. At two ports at which she called yesterday news was given to meager but alarming, of a vessel which had drifted into the coast, | bottom up. | This latest victim of recent storms was unidentified, and all -that was learned is | that she was some three-masted schoon- | er, evidently one of the fleet of lumber carriers. The news of the derelict was first learned at Cloose, when the steamer | called there yesteraay. The Rev. Mr. | Stone, whose wife, by the way, found the name Loard of the lost bark Dominion on the beach at Clo a few years ago, | reported that Indians had come in after | cighting the derelict of some large ves- | sel which had turned turtle. No particu- lars were learned which would render her identification possible. | Later in the day, when the steamer ! reached San Juan, indians came in and | eported having seen the wrecked vessel ioating not far from Carmanah Point yesterday afternoon. The Indians had gone off to the derelict, 'but could give 1o detailed information bearing upon the unfortunate vessel. What vessel it is re- | mains a mystery for the present. There | . no clew whatever to her identity. The lighthouse keeper at Carmanah, | | whose sons had found so much wreckage | atong the coast between Carmanah and | Nitinat, had returned a short time before | the steamer left for a journey along the | | coast line to Ponilla Point and reported | that wreckage of various kinds, unidenti- seen in. the sea along | that part of the coast. | The brigantine Blakeley, which sailed | from Victoria on Monday, carrying an- | other expedition to Cocos Isiand, had a narrow escape fronr being wrecked at | resterday, according tu news | brought by the steamer Queen Cily. The | gold-seeking brigantine put back to San Juan harbor yesterday morning, and While there her amchors began to drag and a fresh inshgre breeze was putting her in dangerous ‘proximity to the rocks, Her anchors held eventuall and she brought up close to the rock The British bark Glenmark is reported y-one miles southwest of Cape Flat- y with both anchors and chains gone end waiting assistance.

Were the army engineers to build the canal, or was there to be one gigantic syndicate, whose influence, bale- ful perhaps, but certainly mighty, would extend over many years? Were the prin- service to obtain, or erations to govern? Vandiver of Missouri and Hocker of Mississippi advocated the passage of the ! uramended Hepburn bill. Hepburn Answers Criticisms. ‘ _Hepburn answered the criticisms ad- duced against the bill during the debate, devoting much time to Cannon. The gen- | tleman from Illineis, he said, demanded clearness and definiteness, yet he pur- posed to support the Morris amendment, which Hepburn pointed out was vague | and indefinite. He had imputed bad mo- tives to no one, but he believed that forces were working for delay. “I do not impugn the motives of the gentleman from Iilinois,” said he, “‘when he says he is in favor of this canal. In a parliamentary sense, 1 am convinced, | vet I am free to confess that only the obligations of parliamentary law would | convince me when I remember that he was invariably a stickler for delay.” Hepburn then proceeded to review Can- non’s record on canal legislation how that his declaration of friendsh of hostility. He repeatedly drew applause and laughter as he launched his shafts of | sarcasm at the chairman of the Appro- priations Committee. Cannon seemed to take it all good naturedly, joining in the | laughter provoked at his own expense. Hepburn said that Cannon posed as a business man, vet said he wanted to pa: $40,000,000 for something the commission said was worth $27,000.000. With regard to the alleged claims of the Maritime Ca- | nal Company, which the gentleman from Illinois discovered in the ‘pale moon- | the commission revorted that they In conclusion Hepburn said it was his opirion that the House should assist the perding bill. He did not pretend that it was as perfect as it would have been had it been drawn by the gentleman from Illi- r‘mls. with his fund of inexhaustible wis- dem. % Addressing the Democratic side, he read the plank in the .Kansas City platform glaélcging the party to the Nicaraguan ca- “That,” said he, amid laughter, * is in my opinion the most respectable deciara- | tion in, the platform.” ““There are reports in the ‘air,’ sald he, “that any isthmian bill will have a rough and rocky road te travel in an- ciher body; that the sentiment of certain | persons of potency is against it. What, will be the moral effect. it this Houss by a practically unanimous vote indicates its purpose to do what the people demand ehall be done?” i If the Morris amendment carries, he said, the selection of. the Panama route would depend upon the attitude of a ma- Jority of the commission. The choice might hinge upon_the attitude of one man, and no man, he declared, should be placed in such a position with $40,000,000 i the balance. All Amendments Are Lost. The bill was read for amendment under the five-minute rule. ShacKleford of Missouri offered an amendment to au- thorize the President to detérmine the | choice of' routes as between -Nicaragua . and Panama if the property and, fran- | chises of the Panama company couli be procured for $40,000,000. He explained that the amendment offered by. him: had.“been agreed upon after consultation betw: himself and Morris and Parker of Néw:, Jersey, who had given notice that they would offer similar amendments. 3 After a lively running debate over the amendment it was defeated upor a rising vote—102 to 170. Parker of New Jersey, De Armond and Burgess of Missouri offered various smendments, which were voted down. The committee then reported the bfll to the House, whereupon Cannon mcved 1o recommit the bill with instructions to report back within thirty days. a substi- tute to enable the President to acquire the necessary rights for a canal from Nicaragua or Colombia, and to authorize him to select the route within sixty days. The amendment was defeated without | divisiow, Cannon being unable to secure 3 record vote. The, bill was then passed—aves 308, noes 2. Fletcher (R.)'of Minnesota and Las- sll:r (D.) of Virginia cast the negative votes. The announcement was greeted with applause. At §:30 o'clock the House adjourned.

He was questioned about sending Captain New- berry to Los Angeles and his reasons for doing so.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 9.—The second day’s session of the annual convention of fhe League of California Municipalities was taken up in the discussion of many problems of interest to the various- cities | and towns represented. The question of the best disposition of city sewerage was the first to proceed, the entire morning being devoted to the subject. “Oil in Street Construction” was the next sub- ject, and many interesting papers and raddresses-were listened to. The evening. session was devoted entirely to the con- sideration of the best form of municipal charters. The discussion on sewerage was opened by City Clerk Tedford of Santa Ana, who! stated that his city of 6000 persons dis- posed of its sewage by irrigating thirty- five acres of land on the banks of tI Santa Ana River. &’l(l'l in for about $59,000.
