The Judge accepted the plea with some diffidence and said he would care- fully read over the evidence taken at the preliminary examination and would on Monday sentence the defendant. “If I should find,” said the Judge, “that the evidence shows a case of murder in ke first degree I have to assume the re- sponsibility of sentencing the prisoner to be hanged, which is a position I do not | relish.

A Chinese was observed by Policeman W. J. Cavanagh acting in a suspicious manner in front of a laundry at 133 Pacific street about 4 o'clock yesterday morning. The officer watched him till he saw him enter the laundry. Just then a wagon drove up to the door of the laundry, and in a few minutes five Chi- nese came out, carrying a large bundle, which they deposited in the wagon. As they were driving away with the wagon Cavanagh called upon them to stop, and he and Policeman - Merchant made an investigation. They opened thc bundle and found the dead body of a Chi- nese. The owner of the laundry, Yee Yung, and five other Chinese, were plac: under arrest for removing a dead body without having a permit from the Coron- er, and Detectives Dinan and O'Dea were detafled on the ease. The body was taken to the Morgue, where it was found that the Chinese had died from natural causes. | The six Chinese appeared in Judge Cabaniss’ court yesterday morning and the cases were continued till to-day. — e Status of Chinese Pupils.

L. A.

It is expected that thousands of tourists will visit the British Isles to witness the coronation, and that an object lesson in American manufactures would be appreciated by people from all over the world. The “American Society in London,” composed of men who are either officially or financially interested in the increase of trade relations between England and America, is at the head of the enterprise. The general committee in charge 1s com- bosed of the following: Ex-officio members—The Embassador of the United States of America, the secreiary Amer- ican Embassy, the American Consul General, the American Miitary Attache, the American Naval Attache.

Another move in the march of progress Solicit Support for a Display. That the present agitation here regarding conservative machinery and old methods of pru- duction and trade offers an opportunity which | our industries shouid not neglect. In view of the above, We request you to kind- ly lay before the honored Governor of your State and the proper State authorities owr | petition that they give us such ald as may be within their power to make the proposed ex- hibition such a success as may be a credit to America and her industrial forces, and that you make known to all the leading companies and firms of your State that such an exhib:tion will be opened on the 15th to the 20th of May of the present year, and solicit their support for the same. Although success is already assured by the number of prominent American firms to whom space has already been alloted, we, as Ameri- can residents in London, desire to see ihe ex- hibition as complete and' representative as pos- ible and to this end we earnestly solicit your 00d_offices. All_communications by proposing exhibitors should be addressed to ALFRED H. POST, (Commissioner in the United States for the | Crystal Palace Exhibition), Produce Ex- change, New York City. I am, sir, faithfully yours, F, C. VAN DUZER, Hon. Secretary. All the London papers speak highly of the project. The London Times in its issue of January 18 say: The chief object of the exhibition will be to fllustrate the striking developMent of American trade and industry during recent years. Special attention will be called to labor saving ma- chinery, wnich has been worked up to such a | remarkable point in the United States. British | manufacturers and their workmen will be given an opportunity to see_exavtiy how American | Boods are produced. Efforts will be made to bring home to the men in particular the fact that perfection of machinery does not by any | means tend to reduce the vaiue of skilled labor. | The exhibits will not be entirely commercial, There will be sections devoted to art, cducation | and sclence, and the hope of the Crystal Palace Qirectors I8 not only to appeal to the British trader, but to arouse public interest in every- thing 'American, including the methods by | which American commerce has been so vastly increased in the course of the last generation, The Btandard, Morning Post, Dally News, Dally Chroniele and Dally Tele- | graph are equally enthusfastic over the project. While no action has yet been tiken, those who have received the let- ters are ondrnvnrlnf to interest the State Pourd of Trade, the Chamber of Com- merce, the Merchants' Assoclation and other bodies in_making a_ comprehensive cxhibit of the State’s products, ! | February’s Immigration, Richard Eccleston, statisticlan for the United States Bureau of Immigration at this port, reports arrivals for the month of February as follows: Total arrivals, 240, and 116 tourists.

To Talk on Chinese Exclusion. The San Francisco Labor Council re- ceived a communication yesterday from Samuel Gompers, pregident of the Amer- ican Federation of Labor, announcing that Herman Gutstadt would arrive .in this city on the 18th inst. for the pur- pose of explaining the situation in Con- gress relative to the Chinese _exclusion bill to the union men of San Francisco.

In a recent issue of the Re. view, the monthly journal issued by that association, attention is called to the urgent necessity for the widening of Third street, from Mission street south to Townsend. It is proposed to take a strip fifteen feet in width from each side of the street. So long as the Southern Pacific Com- pany maintains its passenger depot and freight sheds in their present location, just so long will travel and traffic on the street be congested. Every one knows the vexatious delays that mark every trip on the cars to the depot. Thousands of trucks bearing heavy loads use the ing till late at night. In addition to these there are thousands of Jighter vehicles that form almost a continual procession. The number of electric cars that cover the district during the busy hours of the day add to the confusion that results. With wagons standing by the curb thera is not sufncient space for a truck or wagon to swing out without using a large section of the car track for the purpose. A few of these heavy trucks in line will eftectually delay traffic until they can swing again into a clear roadway. In speaking in advocacy of this matter the latest issue of the Merchants’ Re- view has this to say: Widening of Third Street. If San Francisco continues its present growth it will soon be facing the necessity of widening Third strect, between Mission and Townsend. Already the traffic on that thor- oughfare is badly congested, and is growing vorse daily. WO aatYat the peculiar topography ‘of the city certain of its streets inevitably tend to become main highways. That is the case with Third street, The Southern Pacific freight houses are at Fourth and Townsend, but in- stend of going up Fourth street the greater part of the freight traffic naturally seeks the tastest grade, and is added to the passenger trafe from the depot on Third. By the time it reaches Mission It is pretty well drained away by the intersecting thoroughfares, but in the meantime there is a badly, even dangerous- ly, crowded stretch, the difficulties of which iire complieated by & double line of street car tracks and by the presence at certain hours of numbers of hacks and private equipages. "The street was wide enough in the seventies, Nobody complained of it then. But these are other {tmes. The city has aiready outgrown many a provislon made for it in “early days," and wkich the providers thought would serve forever. And the moral of this {s that any- thing arranged for present needs only is goIng to be outgrown again. Whatever ~improve- ments are made mow should be.made for the future as well as the present. There would be little use of widening Third etreet unless it were made wide enough to-accommodate the traffic that will be constantly increased by the growing wholesale district south of Markel street. Thirty Feet Is Needed. The street should be at least thirty feet wider between the curbs. The widening of it could be effected by condemning enough prop- erty from Mission street southeastward for six blocks down to Townsend. Tt would be necessary to issue bonds for the purpose, but the advantage gained would be Wosth ft. It would give us a broad esplanade which could be ‘parked” down the center and made to resemble Canal street in New Orleans, or which without parking would be like the morth end of Michigan avenue, Chicago—ample for all the traffic that needed to use it, and o pleasant and impressive approach to the center of the city for people coming up the There is mothing In the matter of a bond jssue that ought to frighten anybody. It is the Way fine cities are made. If such an improve- ment were so obviously needed In Faris the munieipality would make it without a second thought. ht. Street Slow in Improvement. It has been frequently stated that in the thirty years preceding the erection of the Claus Spreckels building at the corner of Third and Market streets but one or two bulldings of any preténtious charac- ter have been erected on that thorough- fare. From Mission street southward the majority of the buildings are of one and two stories, many of them in a dilapidat- ed condition. To the stranger who comes in from the southern part of the State a most gloomy view of the city is presented until he emerges into the improved por- tion between Mission and Market streets. San Francisco has already widened two of her thoroughfares and found it neces- ry to open others. Kearny street and avenue are examples of the 4 OB, WOODWORTH 15 CONVIGTED Lenient Jury Imputes No Disgrace'to the Accused. 0. H. Woodworth, D. D. S, was con- victed by a jury in the United States District Cour¢ yesterday on the fourth count of the indictment charging him with being in possession of the impression of a dollar, with intent to use the samg as an advertising device. The prisoner will appear for sentence this morning. The highest punishment that can be im- posed under the statute is a fine of $100. The indictment contained four ecounts, the first two charging him with being in possession of and making three plaster of paris molds, with intent to use the same in the manufacture of counterfeit dollars. The third count charged him with having made the impression of a dollar in the moid with the intent to counterfeit. Karl Rodgers of Los Angeles, counsel for e Woudwong, pleaded in defense that when Woodworth was living in the East he made the molds, intending to manufact- ure with them a metallic design to place on boxes of patent medicine as an ad- vertisement, but that before using the molds Woodworth went to the secret ser- vice office in Boston and inquired wheth- er it would be lawful for him to make the advertising devices. When informed that it would be unlawful to use the rep- resentation of any coin, domestic or for- eign, he refrained from using the molds or the steel blanks and the pattern ieces that were found with the molds in Els possesion. The_prosecution, represented by Assist- ant United States Attorney Duncan E. McKinlay, met with an unlooked for re- buff at the outset of the trial when Judge de Haven sustained Mr. Rodgers’ objection to the introduction of the steel blanks, the files and the pattern pleces in evidence, on the ground that they had not been mentioned in the indictment. Sheriff J. H. Mansfield of San Mateo Cqunty, and Secret Service Agent John C&lnln, testified that the prisoner had ad- mitted to them that he had made the molds, but with the intention of using them for an advertising device. No evi- dence was introduced by the defendant. Woodworth came into prominence sev- eral months ago In connection with a sensational affair at Long Beach, In this State. He purchased a piece of propert from a man named Kempfer for $29,000, which sum Woodworth pald in currencf'. Kempfer placed the money in the family trunk and gave Woodworth the deeds for the property. An hour later the money and Woodworth had disappeared. few days afterward Mrs, under, daughter of the Kempfers, confessed that she had taken the money out of the trunk and given it t%\Vnodwnrth. The fugitive was tried on-a charge of stealing the deeds and was acquitted. When arrested at Redwood City on September 6 by Sherifft Mansfield the molds, blanks and files were found In his trunk. Woodworth claims to be a dentist by profession. ] —_—— Mass Meeting of City Churches.
