Senator Clark Is Supposed to Have Interests at Stake. Special Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, April 22.—When United States District Judge Olin Wellborn calls the Huntington freight franchise case for trial on Thursday morning there will have begun one of the fiercest legal battles | ever fought in Southern California. The |issue involved is the freight franchise | granted to Henry E. Huntington and his associates by the City Council and vetoed by Mayor Snyder. The Traction Company, |25 weil as the steam railway interests, with headquarters in Los Angeles, insists that the value of the privilege is more than $1,000,000. Henry E. Hunungton was awarded the franchise for_ $156,000. Garret McEnerney of San Francisco, who has been retained as chief counsel for the Los Angeles Traction interests, | arrived in this city to-day. He was in consultation with Thomas E. Gibbon and his associates throughout the day. City Attorney W. B. Matthews will personally conduct the issue on behalf of the mu. nicipality. The Huntington-Hellman in- | terests will be represented in court by Judge John §. Chapman, Hunsaker & Britt, Judge W. F. Fitzgerald, Bicknell, Gibson & Trask and Dunn & Crutcher. It expected that the case will con- sume several days. Both sides will con- test every inch, and the issue is certain | to be appealed, no matter what may be | the result. United States Senator W. A. | Clark is belleved to have an interest in the case, and it is said that upon the re- | sult will depend whether Senator Clark | will become interested in the Traction | Company’s property. It is not_believed | that the Southern Pacific or Santa Fe will be represented during the trial by counsel, although lawyers representing both companies mayv be present during the hearing in behalf of their respective corporations. STOCKTON WILL HAVE PLENTY OF RAILWAYS | Old System Is to Be Enlarged and Franchises for Two New Ones Are Asked For. STOCKTON, April 22—Stockton may soon have three street railroads. The old electric road has been sold to outside capitalists, who intend enlarging the sys- tem. H. H. Griffith, representing what is popularly known as the Tesla Com- pany, has petitioned for a franchise for a street railroad aggregating nearly fif- teen miles of track. While the applica- tion was pending before the City Council to-night Ex-Governor James H. Budd opposed the advertising of the proposed franchise, on the ground that it wi in such form that it prevented him bidding for the franchise. He said that he and| several moneyed associates intended | bullding 2 new street rallway in Stock- | ton. He promised that if the matter were | continued a_week he would petition for | a franchise for a third road. The City Council was bewildered by so many offers to build street car lines in | Stockton. All action was continued till next Tuesday night. #Ur Enight Buys Thoroughbred Cattle. of thoroughbred cattle have been made | here by Junker & Mullaney, who disposed | of several hundred head to Attorney George A.

Burdette May Meet Opposition From San Francisco. Epecial Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, April 22—Women of the biennial executive board held a long session to-day in the Chamber of Com- merce and discussed many questions per- taining to plans for the coming conven- tiofl. Who shall be president of the general federation of women’'s clubs for the en- suing term? This is a problem that is ag- itating local club women and prospective visitors to the coming convention as well. It promises to be second in interest only to the color question, and new develop- ments in connection with it are coming to light daily, — That Mrs. Robert J. Burdette is favor- ed by a large number of women, both In California_and the East, there can be no doubt, and until a few days ago it was believed that she would have solid sup- port from her own State. Now, how- ever, come rumors that there is oppo- sition—rumors so indefinite that no one is willing to take the responsibility of saying who has started them or who are Burdette's opponents. It is said that the greatest probable op= position with which Mrs. Burdette will | have to cope is to come from San Fran- Peisco, and that Miss Mabel Craft, the newspaper woman, who is to speak be- fore the biennial, will lead the movement. Just what ground she will take as_the foundation of her opposition to Mrs. Bur- dette the local women are not advised, but it is understood generally that she ;V”l oppose the Southern California candi- ate. The feeling that Los Angeles, as the hostess city, should not accept the pres- idency is strong with certain of the women, and yet others who are club leaders lay no stress upon this view. They say it would not be a discourtesy to the federation in case Mrs. Burdette were the general choice. & SANTA FE'S PURCHASE IN KERN OIL FIELDS About to Take Over the Holdings of the Petroleum Development Company. LOS ANGELES, April 22.—According to a dispatch from Santa Barbara, where President E. P. Ripley is staying, the Santa Fe is about to take over the hold- ings of the Petroleum Development Com- pany, a corporation controlling nearly 3500 acres in the Kern River field, about eight miles north of Bakersfield. It ig understood the cash price for the property will be $1,270,000, or on a basis of about $11 a share. The capitalization of the corporation is $125,000. - Revenues al- lowed to the sellers to the last moment of actual transfer will swell the purchase figure to $1.415,000. - Edward T. Doheny, Godfrey Holterhoftf, the late W. G. Nevin of Los Angeles and A. B. Butler of Fresno were the original owners of the Petroleum Development Company. Additional stockholders who will participate in the proceeds of the sale to the Santa Fe are said to include . M. McIntosh of Chicago and W. A. Bissell, assistant traffic manager of the Santa_Fe, of San Franclisco. The Petro- leum Development Company has for two years sold its entire output of oil to the Santa Fe system on a five-year contract. The output has averaged 30,000 barrels a | month, THLK POLITICS| FOR DERELICTION WITNESSES PAY San Franciscans in Con- tempt of a Santa Cruz Court. Judge Imposeé Heavy Fines for Failure to Appear at Murder Trial. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. SANTA CRUZ, April 22.—A number of San Franciscans were fined for contempt of court by Superior Judge Smith to-day. The Zeigler murder case is on trial, and one of the most important witnesses, Wil- liam Beverly Sharp, a San Francisco at- torney, failed to appear. Sheriff Besse was sent to San Francisco for him. This afternoon Sharp was fined $250 for con- tempt. A. J. Sylvester, Samuel Friedman, W. H. Rote, Thomas H. Kearney and Eu- gene Coleman, witnesses for the defend- ant, were each fined $100 for non-appear- ance. They were to have testified as (o the character of several San Francisco lodging-houses. Bench warrants were or- dered issued for _Coleman, Sharp and Kearney. Sharp not being present, Attorney Leon. ard made a statement of what he intend- ed to prove by the missing witnesses. He alleged that Sharp and Mrs. Zeigler would go to San Francisco together at intervals during the two years precedihg the murder and stop at certain hotels. Also, that during Sharp's visit to the Zeigier ranch he and Mrs. Zeigler were constantly in each other’s company. When Zeigler learned of their conduct, declared the attocrney, he brooded over it and it deranged his mind. This was shown by the fact _that ' while his wife was in San Francisco Zeigler would go _about exclaiming: =~ “I . want my Cad; I want my Cad.” A week be- fore the commission of the murder, said the attorney, Zeigler walked up and down in front of his house with a revolver in his hand, and his actions before and after the crime proved that he was insane. The depositions of Zeigler's brothers were offered in evidence to prove insanity lr_|dthe defendant’s family on his father's side. CHINESE GUARDS FIGHT FRENCH AND GERMANS Fatal Affrays Take Place Before the Gates to the Imperial Palaces. VICTORIA, B. C., April 22—News was received by the steamer Empress of Chi- na, which arrived to-day, of a fatal fra- cas between French troops and Chinese soldiers guarding the imperial palaces. A party of Frenchmen were brawling in the vicinity of the palaces and one of their number- endeavored to force his way through one of the gates. The Chinese shot him as he was trying to gain an en- trance, and when the French endeavored to retaliate, he took shelter behind the gate. The French were forced to retire. On the same day an affray took place between some Chinese and, a small party of Germans. The Germans 'opened fire on the native troops and several were wounded, one afterward dying.

GANTA FE BRINGS J0Y 70 FARMERS Provides a Talented Amanuensis to Write Their Letters. 22, LOS ANGELES, April 22.—“Let's work together to make California the State it ought to be,” is a newly adopted motto of the Santa Fe Railroad and Garrett A. Dobbin has been comfmissioned to show the people of the State how the motto should be followed. It is a new coloniza- tion plan of the rallroad, which is dif- ferent from anything ever before under- taken. The local officials of the road don’t know the. name of the genius who in- vented the Dobbin system, but it is prob- able that Mr. Dobbin is entitled to the honor. He is an old-time printer, in a modest way a writer and of late years has been Santa Fe passenger agent in Atlanta, Ga. ‘“We are after names of probable set- Uel:!," is another legend blazoned on Dob- bin’s card. The card also announces that Mr. Dobbin is special immigration agent for the Santa Fe. Mr. Dobbin left Los Angeles for Fresno last evening, from which point his opera- tions will extend. His plan is to visit the farmers of the country contiguous to the Santa Fe Railroad, take pictures cf their homes, their fields, their stock and the pretty ' scemery surrounding them. Then he will write letters for the farm- ers to their old-time friends and neigh- bors in the East, telling them how the farmers have prospered in California and giving information about. the State that may be the means of inducing others to come here. The letters will not_be from the Santa Fe Railroad or from Mr. Dob- bin, but will be dictated by the farmers whom he visits and their autographs wiil be attached to the typewritten sheets. Photographs of the farms will be finished and malled to the persons to whom Mr. Dobbin has written for the farmer. For the present his base of operations will be Fresno. Accompanied by his wife, Mr. Dobbin will drive Into the country from Fresno, taking with him a typewriter and camera, and will go from farm to farm, stating his mission and interesting the residents in his work. The letter- writing and photographing will be done without cost to the farmers, the railroad company even addressing the letters and paying postage. The next two months will be spent in the San Joaquin Valley, the object being to complete a thorough canvass of the farms there before hot weather sets in. Then Mr. Dobbin will come across the Tehachapi and will con- tinue his work in Southern California. WOODLAND, April 22.—An effort will be made by the ladies of Woodland to organize a ladies’ improvement club. The preliminary meeting will be held on May 17.
