It is known that fifteen tramps were on the cars and those accounted for up to this time number only nine, The train was south-bound and consist- ed of a great number of cars, all of them full freighted.

MOTHER SHYS SHE TEAGES GHILD CRINE Amazing Confession Is Maide by Woman in Los Angeles. Pleads Guil.y of Shoplift- ing and Reviews Her | Career. - Fourteen-Year-Gld Daughter, Declares, Has Proved a More Proficient Thief Than | Parental Tutor. ! She | Special Dispatch to The Call. | LOS ANGELES, Dec. 15.—Mrs. Emily Lucretia Vaughan and her fourteen-year- old daughter were caught in the act of | shoplifting in a department store Satur- day, and at the trial of the woman to- | day in the police court a strange story | of a mother’s efforts to train her child in | a career of crime was unfolded by her own admissions. There was not the slightest doubt as to the guilt of the woman and she was promptly fined and as promptly pald the fine, but what amazed ‘the officers was | that she ‘should think it proud that un- der her teachings her daughter had be- | come a more expert thief than she had ever been. After the arrest the detectives investi- | gated the case and found that the wo- man is the owner of a ranch near Down- ey and of other realty in Los Angeles and in other portions of this county. {'hé ranch house at Downey was found to be full of stolen goods. The woman has two younger sons and it was found that all of their clothing had been stolen. The officers seized the stolen property and brought it to this city. When confronted with the evidence against her, the mother broke down and confessed. She said she had been a thlef for years and that her husband- had begged her on his death bed tq give up the practice, telling her that it was only a question of time when she would be caught. She said that she had been de- tected once in Downey but was not prose= ‘cuted, and that she had committed thefts not only in Los Angeles but in Long Reach nad in almost every nearby town. She said she liked fine clothes and could not resist the temptation to steal when ortunity presented itself. Lately, she said, she felt that as she| grew older she was becoming less expert | and she had started in to teach her daughter to follow in her footsteps. The girl, she declared, now was more expert than she had ever been and she had man- aged to steal clothing for the whole family. 22 N v She said she would give the child car fare to whatever place she wished her to operate and the gitl Would g0 out and | steal .whatever was most needed at the time, bringing it home. The woman | seemed to take an actual pride in the work of her daughter and told how she ‘had ‘stolén a hit.ahd- trimmings in. one: ‘store,” ‘and then*took them to another. place to have the hat trimmed. The g, who is bright and intelligent, seemed .to take the stealing as a matter of course and fully corroborated everything that her mother said. It is believed .that on the subject of theft the woman, is.insane, for the officers | cannot comprehend how any sane mother ! would train up an innocent child into a| life of crime. No complaint has been filed against the girl, but the Humane Officer has taken her in charge.

Wil Speclal Dispatch to The Call. AUBURN, Dec. 1. E. Prewett of Placer County, sitting in the election contest case of McCarty against Wilson at Placerville, has hand- cd down a decision as to the stamping f ballots after a *No nomination” blank. It is somewhat at variance with the Su- breme Court decislon in Patterson vs. Hanley and if held to be good law will change the result of many Judge Prewett de- cides in favor of Wiison, the respondent. He says: Superior Judge J. “Both sides admit that the Supreme | Court in Patterson vs. Hanley, 13 Cal., D. 271, has decided that a cross placed after a ‘No nomination’ parallelogram is a distinguishing mark and that it inval idates the ballot. The Supreme Court is right. Such a mark is in an unlawfui place and it certainly does serve to dis- tinguish the ballot. It is indisputably true that if there be but one such ballot in a precinct it may readily be distin. ;g\;mdhed, and if so the law is plainly vio- ated. “It will be noted, however, that a bal- lot is invalid, not because the voter fully ! intendell to distinguish it, but because he has. actually accomplished that purpose. In other words, it is the act and not the intention which invalidates the ballot. “‘Now, while a single ballot in a precinct | thus marked bears a distinguishing mark it ceases to do so the moment it is ac- companied by a number of its fellows similarly marked, and this distinctian grows less and less with each addition: ballot thus marked. The inflexible cer- tainty of this conclusion is at once shown by supposing that every elector in a pre- cinct should thus mark his ballot.” SOCIETY IS CHARMED BY “PEARL OF PEKING” Fashionable Audience Attends the Production of the Comic Opera in San Jose.

Reports from various sources indi- cate increased activity on the part of the Japanese pelagic sealers in Bering Sea. . Reports from the agent for the protecs tion of salmon fishéries of Alaska show that during the season of 1X2 there were { 62 cdnneries and 24 salterles in operation. 1t is estimated that the total catch of the Alaska. salmon figheries for the season of 1902 will:amount to. 2,470,000 cases, or 400,000 cases in,.excess of the/pack of 1901. The approximate pack of all other sal- mon fisheries this year is reported to be as follows: Fraser River, 225,000; Skeena | River, 140,000; Rivers Inlet, 7t Naas | River; 21,000; Puget Sound, 308, Colum- | bia River, 275,000 cases. The depaftment now has under consid- | eration the closing” of the streams of | Boutheastern Alaska to fishing for salmon | until after the 4th of July each year, ex- cept that natives are to be allowed to take salmon for their own consumption, in order that the earliest arrivals of red salmon may ascend to the spawning grounds.

WASHINGTON, Deec. 15. — Whatever doubt existed ifi Nicaragua as to the in- tention _of Colombia to carry out her | threat tq attack that republic as soon as | her own reyolutionary movement had ! beéen checked:has been removed by the re- ceipt of advices of a semi-official charac- ter h‘ere that the Colombian army officers in.

In the first | place, Colombia wishes to take forcible possession of the Mosquito strip, which would give control of both routes avail- able for an' isthmian canal, and so enable ‘her, to make her own terms; and, second- 1y, *she must find congental employment for the Colombian soldiers who have been fighting rebeis for four years and cannot now easily be turned to ways of peace, and would, it'is feared, start a new revo- lution if not'allowed an outlet for their energies outside of Colombia. ‘The advices are to the effect that the officials ' in -Managua are seriously dis- turbed at the outlook, and are casting about for means to avert the attack by Colombia.

LABOR MEASURE 10 BE MODIFIED Several Changes Con- templated in Eight Hour Bill WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.—The Senate Committee on Education and Labor to- morrow will take up the elght-hour bill, on which hearings have been given dur- ing the past few weeks. Members of the committee have been giving careful con- sideration to the amendments submitted by Judge Joseph K. McCammon, who made the principal argument against the Bill at the last meeting of the committee. One of these amendments strikes out the word ‘“permitted” iIn the clause of the bill providing that “no person shall be compelled or permitted to work mors than eight hours on Government work."™ Judge McCammon argued that the mat- ter should be optional with the workman as to whether he wanted to work eight or ten hours. Another amendment submitted by Judgs McCammon, and which some members of the committee considered with favor, provides that a persom who has worked on Government work for eight hours may work on other work two hours more. The bill as it passed the House makes it obligatory that no person shall work more than eight hours for one employer.
