The piano company then claimed that an error had been made in its sworn state- ment and the Supervisors decided that an itemized account of its books must be presented before a reduction of assess- ment could be considered. The application of the Giant Powder that the assessment on its franchise for $150,000 be canceled was re- jected in quick order. The list of persons who had refused to make a sworn statement of their personal property and who had been arbitrarily assessed was then taken up. The list amounted to $1,845,000, Including Daniel Meyer, assessed for $1,000,000; Willlam Crocker, $30,00, and the Crocker estate, $275,000. The entire list was ordered to remain as it stands, the same being done with the estates heid in trust, also arbitrarily as- sessed for the sum of $1,750,000, including the estate of the late Colonel Fred Crocker.

Court, Brooklyn, to-day, for the arrest of George W. Beavers on an indictment found by the Federal with and Jury, which charges him pting a bribe of $840. It is un- derstood that payments to Beavers were traced back to the purchase by the Gov- crnment of the Brandt-Dent Cash Regis- tering Company. The postoffice inspectors found that Beavers had a large account n the ssau Trus and are said to have discovered that checks deposited there had been given by ex-Congressman Driggs. acc I | gia, Company, Brooklyn, | WASHINGTON, July 17.—The issuance of a bench warrant for the arrest of George W. Beavers, former chief of the | Division of Statistics and Allowances of the Postoffice Department, is the cul- minaticn of an investigation that has been In progress at intervals since his sudden resignation from office last spring. A number of matters affecting his ad- ministration have been probed into, one of the first results of which was the cancellation of 3046 promotions that had been passed on by him to take effect at postoffices throughout the country during the pre nt fiscal year. Subsequently other matters were taken up by the in- vestigating officials. The case on which the present action of the Grand Jury Is based, it is said, is a more recent development. The in- pectors have worked continuously on the gation and it is said that it is only within the past two or three days that the evidence finally was secured that fur- nished a basis for action by the Federal Grand Jury, Chief P office Inspector Cochran has made several terious trips to New York in connection with the case, and Inspector Walter S.

Nature of Correspondance Re- lating to Petition An- nounced. —_—,— WASHINGTON, July 17.—It is stated by the Secretary of State that the incident created by the question of the presenta- tion of the Jewish petition to Russia is closed. The State Department to-day made public the correspondence that has tAken place respecting the petition. Its substance has already been forecasted in the pregs dispatches. The forrespondence consists of an in- struction to Mr. Riddle, United States Charge at St. Petersburg, reciting in de- tail the petition and directing him to pre- sent the same to the Foreign Office if it were willing to receive it. It is stated by Mr. Riddle that the Foreign Office would | not receive it under any circumstances, | and Secretary Hay so informed the Jew- | ish committee in a brief telegram. The instruction was'sent on the 15th of July, and the same day Mr. Riddle was informed by the Russian Minister for Forelgn Affairs that in view of the pub- lications which had appeared in the news- papers the Russian Government wished to notify him that the proposed petition would not be recelved under any circum- stances, and that this resolution df the Russlan Government was taken independ- ently of any consideration of the sub- stance or the terms of the petition. On the recelpt of this information the Secre- tary of State addressed the following let- | ter to Messrs. Strauss, Wolf and Levy of | the Jewish committee that prepared the | petition: “Sirs: 1 am directed by the President to acquaint you that this department is| informed by the American embassy in St. | Petersburg that the Imperial Government | of Russia has declined to receive or con- sider the petition in relation to the condi- | tion of the Jews in Russia which was ad- | dressed to his Majesty the Emperor by a large number of citizens of the United States and which this department, by di- | rection of the sident and our re-| a quest, undertook to transmit to its high| destination.

N | FEARS FOR SAFETY OF JEWS. Traveler From Odessa Looks for Re- _currence of Massacres. E. Rinck-Wagner, a wealthy German resident of Odessa, arrived from the East last evening and is stopping at the Pal- ace. He is making a tour of the world and left his home about the end of the recent terrfble massacres of Jews in Rus- sia. In speaking of the affair which has aroused the sympathy of almost the en- tire civilized world, the traveler sald that massacres had become common events in that section of Russia, where the preju- dice against the Jews Is increasing every year. As to the causes of the attacks on the Jews he said: They are due to the feelings of the peas- | J antry, as the Russian Embassador to the United: States recently expiair an Interview | to the representatives of your newspapers. | | The Jew is the medium through which all | | his debtor suddenly realize business is transacted in Russia. He s keener | in business matters than the peasant class of | Russians and s quick to perceive an opportu- | nity to increase his wealth. The peasant bor- rows from him often, and too frequently more | than he should. When the day of settlement | comes and the Jew demands what is due him | that he has noth- and begins to grumble. His {ll feeling he contemplates his financial predicament. Eventually the dissatisfaction spreads Ike ! | an epidemic and then the p, v seeks re- | venge for imaginary wrongs by assalling the | Bristow | | in Russia. When 1 refer to these affairs as common mean that these massacres are occur- ring eefry year. sa_when tha refugees began coming in from the scene of the | rccent slaughter, but T am unable to give you any further detalls than you have ~already had, for, aithough Odessa is only eight hours: | ride from where the more horrible scenes were enacted, we were unable to obtain much in- formation, owing to the fact that the press of | that country, as you no doubt know, is greatly restricted in the publication of news, espectally of that character. In Odessa there are frequent demonstrations against the Jews, and there was one at the time that the murders were being committed in the other section of the provinces, but the police, who were anticlpating an _outbreak, | promptly quelled it In its infancy. We have n farge nimber of Jews in Odessa. In fact the | population of the city is one-third Jews, and ! they practically control all lines of business | there. Thelr influence in a commercial way is | suggested during the Jewish holiday weeks, when the entire town seems to be closed up. I deubt if there will ever be a solution found for stemming the tide of prejudice against the Jews | In Odessa they are treated with more consideration than most anywhere else in the empire. Although not permitted to own lard, they are allowed to lease it and build houses, and they enjoy this privilege to its fullest’ extent. Rinck-Wagner added that there is no foundation in the statements that reli- glous prejudice is at the bottom of the murders in Russia. The Jews, he said, enjoy a full exercize of thelr religious | customs and go about undisturbed until the peasantry is called upon to make set- tlements for money loaned and for bills contracted and then the trouble begins. e New Incorporations. The Verein Eintracht was incorporated vesterday. The directors are Frank Huber, C. A. Wedemeyer, Otto Thiele, F. Eggerling and C. H. Hoge.

PR Southern Pacific Adds a Jap- anese to Bureau of Im- migration. ——— General Agent Shotwell of the Denver and Rio Grande road, who returned Thursday night from Denver, whither he went a week ago to confer with the of- ficlals of the Gould lines relative to the reorganization of the offices of that great system in this city, vesterday officially announced the changes he had planned in local departments which have been placed under his supervision. Besides the pro- motion of Buck and Mansfield to the posi- tions of district passenger agent and com- mercial agent, the following appointments were given out during the day: Walter Townsend and Fred Berry, to be travel- ing passenger and freight agents; Bode K. Smith and W. W. Webster, city pas- senger agents: E. Silverstone, contracting agent; John T. Skelton, freight and pas- senger agent at Sacramento; Leroy B. Johnson, freight and passenger agent at San Jose; Edward Waugh, assistant freight and passenger agent at San Jose; John H. Beckwith, city passenger agent in Oakland. The appointments came as 2 joyous bit of news to the former employes of the Missourt Pacific offices in this city, who lost their positions when theé agency was recently abolished here. Waugh, Webster, Townsend and Berry are all cared for un- der Shotwell's plan of rearrangement. The two clerks who were attached to the Texas Pacific office have gone to Los Angeles, there to secure employment in the Texas and Pacific office, and conse- | Guently everybody formerly connected with the different offices of the Gould lines in this city went home happy last evening. General Agent Shotwell said yesterday that while there appeared to have been a consolidation of the different offices the move made by Traffic Manager Bird was in reality an abolishment of the Missouri Pacific and the Texas Pacific offices in this city. Hereafter the interests of the two roads mentioned and those of the Iron Mountain and the International and by the Denver and Rio Grande agency, title of general agent. Further evidence of the Southern Pacific traffic department’s often manifested en- | terprize was furnished yesterday, when the following circular notice was issued by the passenger officials: K. Isomoto of Kobe, Japan, ‘has this day been appointed Japanese land and immigration agent for the Southern Pacific Sunset route. Mr. Isomoto's duties will be to encourage Jap- anese investors and rice farmers to purchase lands and settle in the gulf coast country of | Louisiana and Texas. Mr. Isomoto will work directly in connection with the general offices of the system In San Francisco and in Hous- ton. Tex., and in the conduct of his people he | will be accorded every assistance and attention. General Passenger Agent Goodman, dis- cussing the appointment, sald that Iso- moto recently came here from Japan and called upon him regarding a proposition to bring Japanese rice farmers to thia| country with a view of developing the lands owned by the company in the States of Louisiana and Texas. Continuing Mr. Goodman said: His plan looked like a good one. 8o I referred him to General Passenger Agent Anderson of it seems, immedi- You can e Pabst BlueRibbon n tlle al:solute security” of its befng pure and whole- some.

As a result, Isomoto has made an immigration commissioner, and with necessary credentials he expects to return | shortly to Japan, where he will enter upon his | new duties. The company belleves that the | cultivation of rice by a number of the origin- | ators of the art will be invaluable instruction | to the producers of this country and will ma- | terially enhance the importance of the indus- | try in the South. As I understand him, Iso- mioto, when he gets back to his own country, hopes to obtain recognition from the Japanese Government and thus be enabled to work in harmony with the Southern Pacific Company and the Imperial officials on the other side. Chief Engineer Storey of the Santa Fe road, who left here several days ago for Northern California for the purpose of in- specting the country over which his com- pany purposes to build its new road from Eureka south, returned yesterday. He traveled northward from Willits about forty miles along the south fork of the Eel River, and finally cut across the coun- try toward the coast. The east side of the south fork of the Eel River has already been partially sur- veyed by the company’s surveyors, and it is purposed to later survey the opposite bank of the stream. The “work so far completed, Engineer Storey said, is very satisfactory. Next week he intends to go to Eureka and travel by team south- ward over the territory through which the engineers have been working from the north. As yet no definite decision regarding the route of the new road has been arrived at, and Engineer Storey says that it will probably be several months before one will be reached. Regarding the rumor that he was considening a route along the main fork of the Eel River, Storey sald that the company had not even dis- cussed it. James Graham of the Southern Pacifie freight auditor’'s office celebraied highgix. tieth birthday y erday. Born in County Down, near Belfast, Ireland, July 17, 1843, he came to this country a mere lad of 11 years, and after a sojourn of three years in New York State he came West and made his home in California, which he has never left since. For the last twenty-two years he has | been a clerk in the freight auditor’s of- fice, not having missed one day through sickness or any other cause.
