DEBT INCREASING YEARLY. These assurances of support, with the well-known popular feel X fsting against the further maintenance of the debt-burdened fa!lr grounds, have been 1aken advantage of by the agents of the Western Pacific in their plan to gain pos- session of the land for railroad purposes. The State Agricultural Association has title to the Sacramento property for umber of years, during which its in- debtedness been steadily Increasing until it has awakened much public inter- est in the guestion as to how the financial burden is to be finally relieved. i Suggestions have been made from time | to time that the State take over the property and thereafter conduct its an- rual events, but objection to this plan has the een made from various quarters on ground that it is not within-the au- | | rity of the State to operate any enter- prise wherein gambling, such as dulged in annually at the fair rac permitted. While the people of Sa mento have strongly opposed any measure | that threatencd to deprive them of the | annual State fair, the feeling throughout the rest of the State has been that some- | thing should be done to insure the tax- | payers of the future of any liability that | might accrue from the association’s in- | debtedness and it has not been a secre | that the majority of the people would fa | vor some measure that would wipe out) | the overdue obligations. | | 1t is this popular feeling that the Wes lern Pacific Railway has been speculat iLg on In its hopes to secure the park ! is in- | is property.

It will provide for | | other grounds, either in Sacramento or in some city in Central Qalifornia, | possibly San Jose or Oakland.” A sugges- | tion to move the fair from Sacramento.| to any other town will, of course, gain | | both faver and disfavor from among the | legislators, but this fact has been care-| fully taken into consideration by the rail- road people and the conclusions already | arrived at are that it will add to the sup- | port of the company’s proposition. Fur- thermore, the company figures that what | | Sucramento may lose in the way of an- | | bat revenue by the loss of the fair will | more than treble in its natural income | | through the increased population it will | acquire by the establishment of more | rallrcad shops within its limits. In short, l the company, In the advocacy of its meas- | | ures, will remind the people of Sacramen- | to of the benefits derived through the ! | maintenance of the Southern Pacific shops in their city and will by figures and other methods show how these benefits may be [nnlarged upon by the welcoming of other great enterprises there.

A woman witness at a coroner’s inquest held yesterday told a tale that sent a shudder through her auditors. It was a horrifying tale of murder that she rcla- ted and though there Is only her story to justify them the police are now search- ing for the man against whom the alie- gations were made. Mrs. Rose Martinez 1s the woman who gave the testimony that set the police to work. The inquest was that into the cause of death of Mrs. Mary Peterson, who died March 30 at 81 Natoma street from the effect of burns inflicted some days before. According to Mrs. Martinez Mrs. Peterson's Injuries were deliberately inflicted by George Walter, the man she called her husband, who scalded her as she lay helpless and half nude on the floor. Mrs. Martinez said she witnessed the awful scene. The death had been entered on the rec- | ords of the Morgue as due to accideni. It wag represented to Deputy Coroner Fen- nell that the woman, while Intoxicated, had stumbled over a stove and spilled a pot of scalding soup over -her body, re- ceiving injuries which caused her death. As soon as the story of foul play reached police headquarters yesterday morning, Detective Balley was detailed on the case. The witness who produced the sensa- tion was Mrs. Rose Martinez, who rooms in the lodging-house where Mrs. Peterson died. She testified that on the afternoon of March 9, the day on which Mrs. Peter- son was Injured, she saw the' last named in the hnllwry of the lodging-house with a cigarette 'In her mouth, going Into room 21. Then she saw George Walter, the woman's companion, follow her, ex- claiming, *'if you don't come out of that room I'll kill you before night."” Mrs. Martinez then went into her own room across the hall, an@ about two hours later went out and saw Mrs. ‘Peterson lying on the floor, clad only in her chemise, while Walter stood by and threw : the contents of the pot of soup upon- her. The witness then related that Mrs. Peterson was taken to the City and Coun- ty Hospital and several days later Walter brought her home in & buggy. Mrs. Mar- tinez attendgd the injured woman and Mrs. Peterson tdld her that her ‘“hus- band,” George Walter, had THrown the soup upon her. When the dead body was taken out of the house, Walter said to the witness that he was ‘“glad he had ) | killed her,” and that be should have done it thrce or four years before. All throughout -Mrs. Martinez's testi- mony Coroner Leland crost xamined the witness searchingly and persistently. If he had been the hired counsel for Walter he could not have done any better for the acoused man, but the witness stuck to her story. Mrs. Martinez reiterated that she was positive that she saw Walter pouring the scalding soup upon the prostrate body of his almost nude victim. When asked why she had not told her story to some one before that time, she replied that she had told her husband. about it on the even- ing of the day on which it took place, and that no officlal had questioned her until last Wednesday, when a police of- ficer called upon her. George Walter had been subpenaed as a witness, but he falled to appear at the inquest. Detective Bailey informed the Coroner that he had learned that Walter and A. H. Martinez, husband of the im- portant witness in the case, had started from the lodging-house with Peter Girard, the owner, that morning to attend the in- quest and that-Girard had induced the two men to remain away. The Coroner asked Mrs. Martinez whether she did not realize that she was making a most serious charge against Walter and that he might be hanged if her story were true. She replied: “I do, and I am telling only the truth; only what I saw with my own eyes. He ought to be hanged.” Martinez was found about an hour later and testified that he knew nothing dbont the case. He flatly contradicted the statement of his wife that she had told him about Walter throwing the soup on Mrs. Peterson. The jury returned.a verdict that Mrs. Peterson’s death was caused by burns, in- flicted in a manner unknown.

Despondency through inability to work caused Henry Hillers to take his own life by hanging yesterday. Hillers, who was 45 years of age, lived at 1682'3 Mission sireet and was a quiet and industrious man. He was a painter by trade, but for the last seven months had not been able to find employment owing to 1l health. The last time he was employed he was | doing work for Spreckels Bros. Yesterday evening his daughter Jo- hanna returned home and not finding her’ father in the house went out on the porch, where she was horrifled to dis- cover him hanging by the neck from a beam. She rushed to the kitchen and procuring a knife returned and cut her father down. Her worst fears were re- alized, for Hillers was dead. The gir!, almost beside herself from shock and grief, summoned assistance. Neighbors hastened to render her all the aid in their power. Hillers’ remains were taken to the Morgie and an inquest will be held.
