A long and bitter wrangle seemed Im- minent. Edward Berwick of Pacific Grove was on his feet at once to de- nounce the resolutions, and John 8. | Dore of Fresno also attacked it. Presi- | dent Cooper settled the threatened | wordy war by declaring that as the | resolutions were not before the house all discussions were out of order. ABLE PAPERS READ.

AUBURN, Dec. 9.—The Grand Jury has not as yet returned an indictment charging Adolph Weber with robbing the Placer County Bank. It is believed, however, that the true bill will be forth- coming to-morrow. That Weber has not been indicted on the robbery charge before this is due to the erroneous ad- vice given the jury by District Attor- ney Robinson. This advice was to the effect that the jury, having indicted Weber on one gbarge, could not indict him on another, advice due to Robin- son’s wrong interpretation of the law, declaring that a man could not be in- dicted twice for the same offense. Next Monday Judge Prewett will set the time for the trial of young Weber on the charge of murdering his mother. It is believed here that the defense has secured the services of a detective to impeach the testimony of the wit- nesses for the prosecution. This belief is due to the presence in Auburn of a stranger giving the name of Green, who has during the last few days kept him- self busy interviewing those who testi- fied at the preliminary hearing of Weber and the Coroner’s inquest. R } ‘Will Prosecute Weber. = | In response to the requests of Gov-| ernor Pardee, backed by the Board of Supervisors of Placer County and many prominent people from all over the State, Attorney General Webb has determined to take personal charge of the prosecution in the Weber mur- der case at Auburn. District Attor- ney Robinson of Auburn will be as-! sociated with the Attorney General. It is said that young Weber has arranged to employ several of the best criminal | lawyers of the State in his behalf and the battle before the Placer County Superior Court will be a hard one. | General Webb says there will be no | friction between himself and Robin- | son. ST \ COWARDLY GANG'S PLOT | RESULTS IN A DEATH | Painter Killed by Bullet Fired Through Side of Building by Sol- dier Satisfying Grudge. PORT TOWNSEND, Wash,, Dec. 9. | John Dollar, a painter's foreman for | the contractors at Fort Casey, was in- stantly killed to-day by an unknown | soldier.

MONTEREY, Dec. 5.—The old town of Monterey was shocked this morning at the death by fire of beautiful little Kathleen Peters, daughter of Charles Rollo Peters, the painter. From what can be learned the little one, with her elder sister and her twin brother, had been playing in the living room of the bungalow, in which a grate fire was burning. During their play the sister and brother left the room, leaving little Kathleen alone. Scon screams were heard and the lit- tle one enveloped in sheets of flame rushed into the garden. An employe ran to her, body and smothered the blaze. help came too late. The flames had burnt their way into her tender little body, and death mercifully released her from her suffering. At the death of Mrs. Peters, for whom the unhappy babe was named, she left | a little daughter six years of age, and tiny twins; and it was for these wee babes for whom she ylelded her young | life. Immediately after the loss of his beautiful wife the artist secured the services of a trustworthy woman of Monterey, and confided to her the care of his motherless babes. A ‘sad feature cf the affair is that the bereaved father had all but con- cluded negotiations for the sale of the : hacienda, intending to leave California for Broadstair, near London, the home of Whistler and other famous painters, and there to settle with his interesting little brood. < FOR RAILROADS CALL BUREAU, HOTEL BARTON, [ WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—President Roosevelt is standing squarely on his message In reference to the fixing of railway rates by the Interstate Com- merce Commission, and he desires that action be taken by Congress at this session. Many Senators and Repre- sentatives called on him to-day to learn his views, and he told them very frankly that he thought some- tore her clothing from her | But | loon when several bullets crashed through the walls, one of them strik- | ing him in the head.

It is expected that wireless connec- tion between the Farallones, Yerba Buena and Mare Island will be estab- lished within a few days. The men have taken _with them a complete camping outfit and provisions and will remain at the Farallones until the work is completed. As soon as con- nection is made the battleship Ohio will test the apparatus. i This is believed to be the Govern- ment’s first move toward the exten- sion of the wireless system to Hono- lulu. In the event that the present plans are carried out the Farallones station will be made the .head coast station. This is evidenced by the fact that plans for permanent buildings and necessary adjuncts are already under | way. | | S AT R H | EXTENDING THE SYSTEM. ‘ Seattle Soon to Be Center of Wireless Telegraph Service. | SEATTLE, Dec. 9.—Within the next ! few days Seattle will be connected with Port Townsend, Fort Casey, French Harbor and Victoria, B. C., by wireless telggraph. A wireless tele- | graph station has been erected on top of Queen Anne Hill in this city and in | a short time messages will be received | for transmission. Apparatus has also been installed on the revenue cutter Grant, so that com- munication may be had with the shore stations when the cutter is in these waters. & ————— ELEVEN MEN DROWNED TRYING TO SAVE OTHERS Boat Swamped in Which Fishermen Went to Aid Vessel in | 1 Distress. | | LONDON, Dec. 9.—Eleven fisher- | men were drowned to-day in an at- | | tempt to assist the Norwegian steam-~ | ship Anglia, from Hamburg for Sun- derland, which was wrecked on the | rocks near New Biggin, Northumber- land. In response to distress signals a dozen fishermen went out in a fish- ing boat, which was struck by a heavy sea and swamped.

SRR St | FEVER CLAIMS MAN WHO REFUSED MEDICAL AID | PASADENA, Dec. 9.—E. L. Wa; land, a wealthy young mining man, died of typhoid fever here yesterday. He refused to have any doctor but a Christian Scientist. The health of-| ficer has refused a burial permit until the Coroner grants it. The doctors | say they will investigate the case | thoroughly. i g e - $20,000 to be used in securing insects to | eradicate the various fruit pests and | for distribution of the insects among the growers, was brought up by Dr.| Dinsmore. President Cooper announced | the following committee to look after this legislation: S. F. Leib of San Jose | (chairman); A. P. Johnson, represent- | ing Southern California; H. P. Stabler, representing Northern California: John 8. Dore, representing the San Joaguin | Valley, and A. N. Judd, representing | the apple interests of the Pajaro Val- ley. Judge B. G. Hurlburt of Campbell | addressed the convention in regard to some needed reforms in taxation. Ad- journment was then taken till this aft- ernoon. The report of the committee on res- olutions by Chairman John Markiey was the first business before the aft- erncon session. A resolution asking the Senators and Representatives in Congress from the Pacific Coast to respectfully implore the President and administration not to press a repeal or alteration of the present sweet wine law owing to the | enormous acreage devoted to that crop and money invested because of reli- ance on the present law was adopted. Another resolution adopted urges the Legislature to request that an ele- mentary branch in agriculture be added as a prerequisite to graduation in the several normal scheols. It stated that study was of great value to all chil- dren and that it was imperative for the best good of children that all teach- | ers should be versed in the subject so that they could teach it. DISPLAY IN BELGIUM. A resolution was also carried provid- | ing that 2 display of California fruit and | wines be made at the expositicn to be held at Leeds, Belgium, and it em- powers the president to appoint a com- | mittee of five to ask the coming Leg- islature for an appropriation to meet the expense of the exhibit. The Legislature is also asked in a resolution to do more to promote agri- | cultural education in the State College of Agriculture and for adequate appro- priations of money for the work. | A resolution in regard to the utter- ‘ances of a San Francisco paper was | brought up in the committee report and | was tabled by a large majority. The customary resolutions thanking the Chamber of Commerce of San Jose, the Board of Trade of Los Gatos, the Sorosis Fruit Company, the ladies of |the San Jose Grange and the State press were passed. H. P. Stabler, chairman of the com- | mittee on labor, reported for the com- | mittee. He belleved that the solving ;of the labor question in the orchards | |lay in cutting up the large tracts of | | land and selling it to families, thus set- tling the country and providing plenty | of help. The fruit season was too short | to import workers, he said. Stabler | also read a paper on “Increasing the demand for California cured fruit prod- ucts by advertising.” i B M. Swasey of San Francisco dé- !livered an .address on ‘“Advertising | California’s cured fruit products.” A | lengthy discussion followed on adver- | tising. A committee consisting of J. O. Hayes of this city, B. Walton of Yuba City, John Markley of San Francisco, B. E. Hutchins of Fresno and General Jennison of Covena was appointed to look after all matters on which legis- lative action is asked. The convention then adjourned. immediately. 2 The Senators, who have determined that nothing shall be dene until the beginning of the next Codngress, have accepted the situation, and a contest etween the White House and the Sen- te on the great question of railway rates and Increased powers for the Interstate Commerce Commission is now fairly on. In addition to making it known that he is In earnest for some action at the | present session of Congress, the Pres- ident has taken care to tell his callers that his recommendation was not made at the Instance of Governors | Cummins of Iowa, La Follette of Wis- consin and Van Sant of Minnesota. When Governor Cummins and Gover- nor Van Sant called at the White House two weeks ago the railway part of the President's message was al- ready in type. Not a word was changed as a result of that conference. “The President is undoubtedly in favor of doing ‘something’ at this session,” said a Republican member of the Senate Commission on Interstate Commerce to-day, “but whether that ‘something’ means the full limit of which he spoke in his message, I am in some doubt. At least, it does not look highly probable now.” It is belleved at the Capitol that the Senate leaders stand as a stone wall against any action along the line of the message. The determination in the Senate is to prevent it if possible, but it the full power of the administration is used the alternative is to bring for- ward a compromise proposition. e it MEET AND TALK ABOUT LAWS CONCERNING RIVERS Governor and Other Interested Per- sons Hold a Short Conference in Sagramento. SACRAMENTO, Dec. 9.—A con- ference was held at the capitol this afternoon between the Governor, the executive committee of the River and Reclamation Association and the aud- iting board to the Commission of Pub- lic Works with reference to legislation to be asked for in the interest of the rivers. No conclusion was reached, the conference deciding to awalt the report of the Eastern engineers now in session at Sioux City, Towa. SICK KEADACHE Positively cured these Ll{tle rm‘-’.’ SMALLPILL.
