General Wood tells the cir- j cumstances under which Reeves sur- | rendered money received from Ne |in the Cuban postal frauds and after {ward turned State’s evidence in the | trials. General Wood said that, in par- { doning Reeves, he believed he had the right to constitute him a witness for | the state; for, although Reeves had | been a defendant, “he had confessed | freely and fully concerning the frauds | | committed in the Postoffice Depart- | | ment.” 1t is charged further that Gen- | eral Wood failed to inform the court { that he had promised to pardon Reeves, and that in consequence of such fail- ure the court regarded Reeves as a de- | fendant and’ permitted him to testify ARTICLE. General Wood is charged in the third | count with having violated a promise made to Major James E. Runcie not to cause the arrest of Corydon M. Rich, who had been an assistant to Neely in the finance bureau of the Department of Posts. The Runcie magazine article is the subject of the fourth count. With many references to the printed " testimony for the purpose of supporting the argu- ment, this statement is made: Runcie #wears that arrangements were made between himself. Ray nnard Baker and to write an article covering all Cuba seneral Wood under- stood that the article would be a criticlsm of General Brooke's administration. He also swears that, after it was written, General Wood asked him if it had been written and sent to Baker. Baker states that General Wood was very frank in his expressions of eriticlsm of the Brooke administration and that as a general result of his visit to Cuba he found that Gen- eral Woed was antagonistic to General Brooke's administration. the The Jai Alai concession forms fifth count in the minority’s brief, and the following summing up is made: Judge Advocate General Dudley states that the concession to this institution was never completed by the signature of -the Spanish overnor General. The president of the com- pany states the documents of April 27, 1900, were submitted to General Wood, these docu- ments being approved by General Wood in all their parts. They included the grant of a mo- nopoly for ten years. The claim that the gambling ‘was an adjunct rather than a part of the game is disproved by the president of the Jai Alai. General Wood did not furnish full information for the action of the War Department. Wallis Clearman, with Tiffany & Co. of New York, testified that an order was cabled to Tiffany by Mr. Zarasqueta for a silver service valued at about $5000 and that he took such a service to Havana, where it was -accepted and paid for by Zarasqueta. That this was a gift to General Wood from the Jai Alai Company is admitted. WOOD'S ORDERS TO COURT. The sixth count says: General Brooke testified to the insubordi- patlon of General Wood and that he (Brooke) refrained from court-martial process because of the feeling that euch a step would not be sanctioned by the War Department. The seventh and last count in the brief refers entirely to testimony re- garding General Wood's veracity. The testimony of Brigadier General Wil- liam Ludlow, Commander Lucien Young, Major Runcie, Alexander E. Fris and @ number of others is quoted in support of the count. ——— Moccasin Is Again Ashore.

Speciar Dispaten to Tha canl SACRAMENTO, Jan. 5.—Mayor W. J. Hassett has undertaken a movement to fill up China Slough, which for half a century has been a disease breeding nuisance in the most conspicuous por- tion of the city. Much of the surface of the slough is ownea by the South- ern Pacific Company, and by letters which he received from the railroad officials several weeks ago Mayor Has- sett shows the company is willing to pay the expense of filling its portion of the slough if the city will condemn the remainder and lay it out as a public park. The company’s share will be 350,000 cubic yards, and the city’s share will be less than 15,000 cubic yards. In a message to the Board of Trus- tees on the subject Mayor Hassett says it is in the province of the board to secure the eradication of the plague spot by “fair and honorable means,” and that to antagonize the railroad company in the matter at this critical stage of the proceedings “by indulging in blatant and violent mouthings would only defeat the object sought to be ac- complished, the success of which means so much for the city’s advancement.” Mayor Hassett’s remarks were in- duced by speeches recently made by a couple of Trustees in which it was made to appear that the city proposed to_put into effect a general policy of antagonism to the Southern Pacific Company. -—— DISPOSES OF VAST WEALTH SHORTLY BEFORE HIS DEATH Every Member of Family of Late Cap- tain Pabst Receives a Million in Deeds and Stock Certificates.

To his wife and each one of his four children he handed stock certificates and deeds represent- ing, it is believed, something more than $1,000,000 in each case.

[ Y MAYOR VISITS LABOR SESSION San Francisco Executive at the Convention of the California | Federation in City of Fresno PR = FRESNO, Jan. 5.—The opening of the | second day's proceedings of the fourth | annual convention of the California State Federation of Labor was marked by a much larger attendance than at the opening meeting. Among the vis- itors present this morning was Mayor | Eugene E. Schmitz of San Francisco, who arrived last night on the Owl and was welcomed by a committee from the local unions. He was driven to his | quarters at the Hughes Hotel, where an informal reception was tendered him in the lobby. The president announced the follow- ing appointments: L. B. Leavitt of Vallejo and O. W. McCaslin of Napa, sergeants-at-arms, and W. S. Smith of Los Angeles, reading clerk. The committee on resolutions then made its report. A resolution recom- mending that a general movement for a Saturday half holiday throughout California was adopted. A resolution asking that the State Federation of| Labor present a bill at the next Leg!s-i lature recommending that eight hours shall constitute a day's work was referred to the law and legislative com- mittee with the approval of the conven- tion. A resolution asking that the State or- ganizer be instructed to include the or- ganizing of women'’s union label leagues precipitated a lively discussion, which | resulted in the recommendations being adopted. The resolution asking the convention to indorse the boycott de- clared by the Stablemen’s Union and the San Francisco Labor Council against a special delivery company of that city caused a heated discussion. The resolution for the drafting of amendments to the State constitution making it incumbent upon contractors | performing municipal labor to employ none but actual voters residing in the municipality was referred to the law | and legislative committee. On the recommendation of the com- mittee a resolution requesting the school boards in the State to close the schools not later than the second Fri- day in July and to reopen two months later was rejectéd, though not without protest.

To-night, when the stable owners meet, they will give | a decisfon in regard to the reduction of work asked by the union.

The men are s: to demand 50 a nin all inside work and $3 50 and an eight- hour day for all outside work. At the present time the men are receiving $3 25 for inside work and $3 for out- side work, with nine-hour days pre- vailing in both cases. The managers of the Union and the Risdon Iron works are said to be in dread of a strike at the present time, for both concerns have a lot of work on hand which they are anxious to finish at once. If the men decide to strike the work cannot be completed and this will mean a big loss to both coneerns. There ate a lot of non-union work- men employed at both shipyards, as well as many of the other places aoout town, and trouble may resuli if these men attemnt to work while the union men are out on strike. whose textures and BRUSSELS-- floor on many a speclal day.
