HAS SAME CYNICAL LOOK | Taking of Testimony Will Be Probably Started at This Afternoon’s Session R I The work of impaneling a jury to try Leon Soeder for murder was begun yesterday morning before Judge Cook, seven jurors had beem chosen. Their names are: James Mearns, 1828 Page street; Wiliam Kaiser, 2128 Post street; Daniel 8. Davis, 2423 Sutter street; ! George H.* Wellbrock, 909 Fillmore street; John D. Heise, 52 Valencia street; Roswell Lee, 1119% Hyde street, and Francis W. Ste Pine street. When the case wi led the names of the 250 talesmen drawn from the County Clerk's box were read and most of them answered. The Judge address- s © ed them and said that any juror who ' | would act in this case would be ex- cused for one year and would receive a certificate tc that effect. ! should be ralled upon to act in four other cases to be tried before him be- fore vacation would be excused till after vacation, as none of the cases would take up much time.

SAMUELS BECOMES EXCITED. Leon Samuels was then called by Wheeler. rise to"a position of tryst in Hyde's office and his leaving to begin practice for himself. It came out that he had ben a law school classmate of Dis- trict Attorney Woodworth, but he said their relations were not intimate. Wheeler tried to get him to admit that he held resentment against Hyde bé- cause the latter reproached him with i negligence in allowing a default judg- ment for $8000 to be entered against him, but Samuels protested that he entertained the warmest friendship for his former employer. He had recently acted as Hyde's attorney in sevcral matters.

After luncheon, however, Samuels was not -recalled, the whole of the afternoon session being spent in obtain- ing samples of Dimond’s writing. The defendant was called to the stand this time by Heney, whose cross-examina- tion had not been eompleted when Di- mond testified before. A Jarge num- ber of sentences were dictated to him and he wrote them with great care. It came out that Dimond has the unusual habit of using his right hand for writ- ing with a pen and the left for penc'! work, as well as for signing his name with pen or pencil. Heney, however, had him write the selections alternately with right and left hand and with pen and pencil. The results of the defend- ant’s work ‘were turned over to the commissioner to have them photo- graphed for use of counsel. Heney claims that the witness did not benefit himself by his \afternoon’s writing. The errors in the spelling of the words “gwns” and “dummies” will be used in further cross-examination, when Dj- monA is recalled to the stand later in the week. The hearing will continue this morn- ing, when Hyde may take the stand for a few questions by his counsel. Com- missioner Heacock is pressing the at- torneys to conclude the case this week. ——— Small Fare to the Great Vair. Next week tickets will be on sale to 8.

These things represent, of course, | but all have had some share in bring- ing them to pass. NT LEGISLATION | The most important piece of accom- ! plished legislation so far as California is directly and especially concerned is the provision in the naval appro- | priation bill, under which the build- | ing of ships of war w at the Mare Island provision was inaugurated by Mr. Bell when he proposed in the House an amendment by which two colliers, which it was proposed to construct | for the navy at a cost of $2,500,000, should be built in navy yards, one on the Atlantic and one on the Pacific. | The amendment was not agreed to, but an amendment to the amendment, by which one should be built in a navy vard and one by private contractors i carried. ,In this form it went to the Senate, where Senator Perkins pro- | posed again the original amendment and secured its passage. The Senate conferees stuck to the point and the | House finally accepted it. And so | shipbuilding will be introduced at Mare Island. | The bill providing for the Federal building at Los Angelés has a history | of its own. Because of the great num- ber of such bills and the disposition of Congress to pass nothing of the kind | at this session it required most diligent | effort on the part of Senator Bard and | Mr. McLachlan, who directly interested | themselves in it. The bill got through ! the Senate without much trouble, but jin the House it had to come up out of order by unanimous consent and :t | could not do this without the consent of Speaker Canmon. He refused abso- { lutely in spite of the representations of { Bard, McLachlan and the House lead ers, whom they interested, until finally the President himself was appealed to and his interest enlisted to such ex- tent that he called Cannon to an inter- view and the bill passed the next day. DISCOURTE TO BELL. This thing of getting unanimous con- sent for the consideration of any par- ticular bill out of its ordet on the cal- endar in the last days of the session with a crush of bills pending, the au- thors of every, one of which consider them equally important, is, it will be seen, no inconsiderable trick. To have cleared the way, therefore, for a pet measure and to have one’s own confrere put in the objection of estopal, as cid Livernash for Bell's Round Valley bill, must be particularly aggravating. Livernash and Bell fell out early in the session at the time Bell proposed his collier amendment to the naval bili. Livernash is said to have accused Bell of simply trying to make political cap- ital out of a well-appearing but impos- sible project, and from that time on they ceased to be on speaking terms. The success of the collier proposition did not tend to bring them closer to- gether, so that when Bell's other im- portant measure came on with a cer- tainty of passing. Livernash, by the mere act of refusing the unanimous consent, defeated it. Bell waited every day for an opportunity to call the meas- ure up during the hour devoted to that purpose at a time when Livernash should, be absent, but, although Liver- nash was conspicuous for his absence during the earlier days of the session; no such opportunity occurred. Should Livernash leave the floor for a moment it was observed that Wynn, the other member from San Franclsco, was alert to put in the objection for him. Th bill thus defeated was intended to throw "open to homestead entry some 63,000 acres of land cut from the Indian reservation of Round Valley some years Mr. Gillett had a somewhat similar experience with a bill in which he wa: much interested.. It was intended to cut out a number of townships from the northwest corner of the Yosemite National Park and attach them to the Sierra Forest Reserve. The bill was approved by the Secretary of the In- terior and, says Mr. Gillett, by the peo- ple of County, whose welfare it affects. The land to be segregated is largely owned by individyals who lutrewdovelwmtpwurou. but are i duced, but Allotments Are Well Make a Splendid Showing > \others of le Many Instances Re- Di- WALL. prevented by the fact that it is within the park limits, although it contains nothing of scenic interest. The San Francisco members opposed the bill I asked Wynn why he did so and he said .that two or three persons had writtén him asking him to do so. He did not know who his correspondents were, but feit it to be his duty to ob- ject because they asked him to. He | did not know any one in Mariposa | County to whom he could write and | get at the merits of the bill and so he | intended to wait until he could visit | the place himself, as he felt that he did not only represent San Francisco, | but the whole State of California.§ There are over 300 people in the town- ships in question. They own the land— chiefly mining and timber lands—and, says Gillett, they wish especlally to work the mines. i Other important bills upon which a | lot of work was done, but which failed notwithstanding, are the military camp | sites, appropriation for purchase of the | toll roads of Yosemite Park, purchase of the Calaveras big tree groves, the five per cent bill and a number of general interest. COLORADO RIVER BILL. The California bill that attracted the most attention here was that providing | for the diversion of the Colorado River for irrigation purposes—a bill intended | to confirm the rights of the California | Development Company in the work al- | ready done and to be done. Parties interested for and against it have been here all winter and it has taken a great deal of the time of the Committee on Irrigation of Arid Lands. Those favor- ing the bill were finally compelled to be content with a comymission to in- vestigate and report upon all the in- teresting questions involved. The bill providing for a California | camp site enlisted the best efforts of | the entire Republican delegation. It would doubtless have succeeded but for the conflicting reports as to the de- sirability of the several sites. The ef- fort in its behalf was sustained to the very last, Senator Perkins in the last days attaching an amendment to the | military academy appropriation bill in which all four sites were named and choice between them left to the War Department. But it went out on a point of order as new legislation. —_— ATTORNEY GRIGGSBY OF ALASKA RESIGNS | | | | | | i | Federal Official, Once Under Fire, Has Decided to Retire From the Service.
