WIMAN REFUSES 10 ENTER PLEA Files Motion to Set Aside Information Charging Him With Fraudulently Voting |RAISES SAME OLD POINT | Claims Court Erred in Tak- ing Evidence After an Ap- plication for Writ Made When the case of Charles Wyman, | charged with fraudulently voting at the last primary election was called in Judge Lawlor’s court yesterday for the defendant to plead Attorney Countryman objected and filed a mo- tion to set aside the information. The principal ground was that during the preliminary examination in Judge Ca- baniss’ court the defendant was admit- ted to bail on an application for a writ of habeas corpus before Judge Sloss and that over the defend- ant’s objection he was illegally com- pelled to be present at the preliminary examination when further evidence | was taken pending the hearing on the | application for the writ. He desired to show by the records what took place at that time and to examine Judge Ca- baniss uon the point. He would show that the defendant had been illegally committed. Assistant District Attorney Ferral sald that it was a mere irregularity which could not be taken advantage of on a moticn to set aside the indict- ment. After argument Countryman asked for a postponement till the evidence taken at the preliminary hearing was transcribed, as if the ocourt ruled against him he desired to be in a posi- | tion to prepare a bill of exceptions to the Supreme Court. The Judge refused to grant a post- ponement and Judge Cabaniss was called and examined as to what tran- spired in his court after being served with a certified copy of the applica- tion for the writ of habeas corpus. Bernard Conlon, clerk of Judge Ca- baniss’ court, was also examined. | Countryman then argued that all proceedings were superseded by the application for the writ and submitted authorities on the point. The Judge said he understood that, but could such a point be taken notice of on the ground that the defendant had been il- legally committed? Could he not have acted by a writ of prohibition and by not doing so did he not waive his right | to urge the point? Attorney George Wright for the prosecution said that Attorney Hosmer was familiar with all the points in the | case which had already been disposed | suggested a continuance till Hosmer | returned from San Rafael. The Judge | continued further argument till to- morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. The case of Adolph Steffens, charged with fraudulently voting at the primary election, was called for the arraignment of the defendant. He is still a fugitive from justice and the case was continued till next Saturday. —_—e———————— MONTEREY AGAIN WILL HAVE A COUSTOM-HOUSE Collector Stratton Will Station a Dep- uty There to Clear Vessels Loading Oil. 0Old Monterey will soon resume its place in California something similar to that it held when it boasted a cus- tom-house of its own. This change has been brought about by the estab- jishment in that city of a pipe line ter- minal, the othed end of which con- nects with the Bakersfield oil district. On that account persons interested in the Matson Navigation Company and | | other shipping firms have asked Cus- toms Collector Stratton to allow their vessels taking oil clear from that port without being obliged to come to this city to clear. | Mr. Stratton has granted the request and will detail a deputy collector to go to Monterey for that purpose. The new method will save several days’| time to ships not including the sav- ing of expenses and inconvenience that will now be avoided. —_——————— The New Yorkers.

H. Valentine for the Southern Dis- {'trict of California to arrest and prose- | cute S. L. Hogue, formerly a deputy internal revenue collector in the Fresno district. The charge against Hogue | will be failure to deposit public moneys {in accordance with law. | Speclal Revenue Agent Bert M. | Thomas called upon Mr. Hogue a few | weeks ago and inspected his accounts. {He found a cash shortage of $130. “Where's the money?” inquired the agent. “T'll go out and get it,” was the re- ply. | *““Where is it? Where do you expect | to find 1t?” asked Mr. Thomas again. “T'll get it from my friends.” In a short time Mr. Hogue returned and paid the money to the agent. He | explained that it had been his habit during the four years in which he had been acting deputy internal revenue collector to keep out sufficient money ‘(o pay his official traveling expenses {and to refund the money when he re- i celved his allowance from the Govern- ment for those expenses. They were usually $130 per month, which sum he | held out for thirty days at a time by | using it in the manner stated. The law | requires that deputy collectors shall | pay their traveling expenses out of their private funds and send their bill to the Government, and it also requires | that all moneys collected shall be turn- | ed into the treasury at once. ‘ Mr. Hogue explained that he was a { poor man and could not afford to pay | his official traveling expenses out of his own pocket. He did not thWk | there was anything criminal, he said, |- | in using the Government's money for | that purpose, but the department thinks otherwise and he will be prose- cuted. Mr. Hogue is an old resident of Fresno and held the office of Justice of the Peace for several terms. He has been recently in the real estate and insurance business. His character is i above reproach. ——————— ‘ Dies of Blood Poisoning. Ah Sing died yesterday at the City and County Hospital of blood poison- ing, alleged to have been caused by a gauze sponge left in his abdomen after [zm surgeons at the hospital had oper- ated on his liver. Ah Sing was suffer- | ing from atrophic cirrhosis of the | liver and incautiously walked into the | hospital on November 1° for relief, | Two surgical operations were per- ! formed upon him. Dr. Curry at the | Federal Morgue performed an autopsy | yesterday and found a large gauze ! sponge in the peritoneum. The sur- geons at the hospital had neglected | to remove all their paraphernalia | after finishing the operations. —_————— Unger’s Hearing Postponed. United States Commissioner Hea- cock yesterday postponed the prelim- i inary examination of Cress Unger un- | til December 8. Mr. Unger is charged | with embezzling money of the Gov- ernment while acting as seizure clerk in the custom-house. ADVERTISEMENTS.

SACRAMENTO, Nov. 19.—The State Fish and Game Commission in !a report to Governor Pardee to-day says: “Some of our fellow citizens, real- { izing that violations of the game law constantly occur, propose to cure this by making radical changes. In our opinion this is not the proper remedy. We have sufficient laws on the statute | books, but the means to enforce them are Inadequate. [ “In our opinion it is better to hold | to what we are sure of and to that which our people will learn to re-| spect more and more each year.” The report then states that what is required is further appropriations, | which will allow the commissioners to place four more game wardens in| the fleld, who will do much to protect the fish and game of the State. e o b LADIES’ LYCEUM CLUB WILL HAVE A BRANCH IN PARIS PARIS, Nov. 19.—The Ladies’ Lyceum Club, which has its headquarters in Piccadilly, London, and branches in| New York, Berlin and Rome, and num- bers many thousand members, is about to open a branch in Paris. | It will be a great innovation, as up to‘\ the present no ladies’ clubs have been founded in Paris worthy of considera- tion. ) The committee alrealy includes the Duchesse de la Roche-Guyon, the Ba- ronne de Plerrebourg and Mrs. Bent- zon.
