P. Chipman introduced | a meeting of the State Board of a resolution calling for a conwention to be held in Sacramento at ag carly day for the purpose of call- | ing the attention of Congress to the necessity for the improvement of the navigation of the Sacramento and San | Joaquin rivers. : In a preamble it was set forth that attention of the State Board of | e had been called to the fact that | due regard has not been paid to the imprevement of nmnavigation on the | streams named: that during the tk last summer navigation on the Sacramento River to Red Buff closed on July and a month later ceased at Squaw Hill, 174 miles above Sacramento, and | was not resumed to the latter place | | until December 3; that navigation was | | closed by failure of the Government to provide for clearing the channel from temporary obstructions; that the failure of the Government to secure | | to the inhabitants of the Sacramento | {and San J#quin valleys the full and | | free enjoyment of navigation of these | | important waterways has retarded and | i1s retarding the growth and develop- | ment of a large and important region |of California and is a matter of se- rious moment. | The resolution was as follows: Resolved, That the secretary be directed to arrange for a public meeting 1o be held at the of Sac > at an early day, to consider asures as may bring 1o t ngress of the United Stat r more intelligent and liber: a wn Trustees and Counc} of trade and chambers ral counties, towns y 3 and nto and San Joaquin val- al bodies of the cities » and Oakland be requested to said convention, to take part ns and aid in perfecting some the required and speedy action Several other resolutions introduced by President Chipman were adopted. One of these instructed the committee industrial resources to investigate and report concerning industries that are partly developed and are retarded in their growth by lack of knowledge of the best methods of production and of markets awaiting their output. Apmother directed the committee on mmigration to investigate and report wcerning the extent of the increase of the population of California during the decade ending in 1900 and sim far as practicable, to determine what proportion of this increase has been added to towns and cities and in the country, respectively; also the regions of the State and the counties in which the population has been increased and the causes that have led to the cholce | of location made by the new popula- | tion; also “to ascertain the principal { inducements that have operated and are operating to bring settlers into the State; also what the causes are, if any exist, why ccunties possessing great | attractions for the homeseeker are nct { receiving their share of immigration to the State.” 3till another resolution, introduced by | President Chipman, set forth that one | of the purposes of the board is to sup- ply to California farmers useful infor- mation, and that a committee of three should be appointed to confer with the president of the University of Califor- | nia and Professor Hilgard to determine whether the beard mnight not estab- lish some relations with the university | to the mutual advantage of all con- cerned. The purpose of this. as ex-| plained, was to furnish to the public at large in popular form the informa- | tion derivable from the college of ag- riculture connected with the univer- sity. This resolution, like the others mentioned, was adopted. A deal of business was transacted by | the board during a long session. Mr: A. D. Sharon, representing the Califor- | nia Club, requested the board to urge favorable consideration at the hands of the Speaker of the House of Represent. atives and of the House Confmittee on | Rules of Congress for the bill relating to the preservation of the Calaveras big tree grove, It was voted to addres a letter to Speaker Cannon on the sub- Ject. Various suggestions were put into resolutions and adonted. One was to | have the secretary of the board write a | bulletin on the dairy industry of Cali- | fornia. It was decided to send a com- | | munication to the New York Board of Trade and Transportation favoring the | building up of the American merchant | | marine. Secretary Stearns of the Oak- | | land Board of Trade reported concern- | ing the proposed tule industry on the | \marehes about Oakland that manufac- | ‘turers had offered to pay from $30 to | | $40 per ton for all the tules that could | | be produced of the proper size and in | prime condition for material to mak: | | mattresses. | Manager Briggs suggested several | | practical ways to increase interest in | the work qf the board. He proposed | that when the time comes for the hold- | ing of the annual meeting of the board representatives from all the counties in { the State should be in\'il‘ed to come to | the city and attend. luncheon to be’ | served in the exhibition hall of the | board, ‘the work of the board and its | relations to the encouragement of th: | interior to be the theme for discussion. | It was also suggested by Mr. Briggs | that advertisements of California ‘should be inserted in several thousand | Eastern newspapers. | { | | | | He would also have maps of California sent out with matter on them pointing out the ad- | vantages of California and also copies of a flashlight view of the exhibition hall of the board that was taken while the delegates to the National Bankers' Association were in the hall, these to | be given to the bankers to be hung in | their bapking houses in the East. | Messrf, Chipman, Wooster and others discucsed these propositions. Greft in- terest was manifested as the '‘plans were unrolled for making the work of the board wider and mere effective for !the good of the State. | I | Mrs. Etta Fi | capable of distinguishing between right | the insane ward in the Central Emer- | alleged he had insulted her. sGeorge Walsh shot Ella Powers in a i IKES TARGET OF YOUNG MEN tzgibbon's Desire Revolver Practice on;| Jeings Is Curbed | IS DECLARED TO BE S;\XE} Ordered to Appear for Sentence Before Judge Cook on the Charge of Assault to Murder —_— for Human Judge Cook received a communication vesterday from Dr. Eimer E. Stone, medical superintendent of the Napa Insane Asylum, inclosing a certificate that Etta Fitzgibbon was per- fectly sane. The Judge made an order, as the woman had been discharged as sane, that the Sheriff of this city and county take her into custody and bring her into court on’ Saturday for sen- tence, In his letter, Dr. Stone says: “I did not see any evidence of insanity in the woman, and believe her to be a de- generate of the criminal type, and fur- ther I believe that she is at all times and wrong and should, therefore, be punished for the crime she commit- ted.” Mrs. Fitzgibbon shot five bullets into Joseph E. Gagan, a young man living at 17 Franklin street, in her rooms at 878 Market street on May 3 last. She claimed that Gagan had insulted her, but Gagan emphatically. denied it and said that the shooting was entirely un- provoked. For weeks he lay hovering between life and death, but ultimately recoveredy When the case came up for trial before a jury in Judge Cook's Court, the Judge was not satisfied as to the woman's sanity, and she was sent to gency Hospital for gbservation. She was declared sane and her trial was proceeded with. She was convicted of assault to commit murder, but her at- torney again raised the question as to her sanity, and on October 9 she was committed to the Insane Asylum at Napa, her sentence being suspended meantime. Mrs. Fitzgibbon takes unusual de- light in shooting men. Four years ago, while she was living on Grant ave- nue, she fired several shots at George Bowers, a grocery clerk, because she Bowers was not hit, but the woman was ar- rested for assault to murder. At that time she was committed to the Insane Asylum and was discharged in about a year. ————e———— Three Bullets Wound a Woman.
