THE WIFE'S VERSION. Mrs. Moraga was a member of the family which owned the famous Fish| rancho. Her black ‘eyes snapped to-| day as she denied her husband’s story. | She said: Absurd! Preposterous! I, a woman of 45, the mother of many children, married for 25 years, to be Infatuated or to care In any but a | simple friendly way for this student—this | mere boy? ‘hy, Manuel Marker is only 19 years old, a quiet boy, a gentleman. Every- | thing my husband has said about it is false. Last Saturday we asked Manuel In to help | us dress the Christmas tree. He is friendly with all of us except my hysband. ~When | Morage came and found Mantiel in the room | he ordered him to go. The disturbance that | followsd was so bad that Manuel went for | Officer Thompson to have my husband ar- | rested for battery. Then, for the sake of | peace, Manuel decided to sleep elsewhere that night. Moraga took his clothes and occupied | another apartmept than mine, but he was not jocked out. If Mr. Moraga intimates that he will be so | generous as_to go and leave me in possession | house and furniture and permits you | k he is & wionged but generous man, | Tist: 0 thie: Mr. Moraga has not a cent of erest in- the place.

It 1s a hideous wrong, too, that he does Manuel Marker. It ,cannot but affect his university Hfe and if will all be so deplor- able. Mrs.” Moraga broke down and wept | | after her speech. Marker, the student, denies that his relations with the Moraga family have | been other than innocent and friendly. He sald to-day that Moraga’'s allega- tions were all false. - + ENEMIES HAUNT BN 1N DREANS Soecial Dispatch to The Cail.

CALL BUREAU, ‘POST. BUILDING, WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.—Frank: P. Sargent, Commissioner of Immigration, has begun the biggest hunt for Chinese smugglers on récord. He ' has sent ! many special agents to the Canadiar | frontier to be ready for the attempts | whichyit is reported; the.daring band is | about to make to smuggle Chinese in | large numbers into this country by way of Livéerpool, HalifaX' and towns on the border. How much the Chinese have paid to be smuggled, no one of the Government Secret Service knows. It is supposed to be several hundred dollars a head. It is announced there are many Qun- dreds of Chinese to be brought over the suspicion that the same smugglers are implicated in the attempts to. get the Chinese into the United States by way of Mexico. Commissioner “Sargent spent several days in Canada making an investiga- tion into the doings of the smugglers. He had recently returned from a long trip along the border of Mexico. While in the South, he organized a corps of roughtiders to patrol the line im .the sparsely setlled districts to head off the Chinese coming this way. While In Canada he increased the force of men there. The Chinese will be arrested as rapidly as they appear. The officers hope they will at the same time be able to capture the white smugglers. —_—e—————— MITCHELL TO BE GIVEN « °~ A CHANCE TO EXPLAIN | coats. i gk BURCLARS KEEP “POLICE ACTIVE in“Alameda and Two More Robberies Are’ Reported ENTER BABCOCK HOME Steal Christmas Cigars and Also_Carry Away Jewelry From the Wehle Residence ALAMEDA, Deec. 26.—Burglars are industrious here and they are not very particular as to what they steal.

Escaping gas in, the Pullman sleep- which arrived here yesterday .evening, threatened the lives of séveral passen- gers, among whom was Edwin Stearns, secretary of the Oakland Board of Trade. He was returning from Wash- ington, “where hé had attended the meeting of the Congressional Commit- tee on Rivers and Harbors. The gas escaped from an imperfect burner and filled the car before the passengers were awakened. After the leak was stopped several of those in.the car complained ‘of sickness as a result of partial asphyxiation. B. C. Session, who aécompanied.Mr. Stearns to Washington, stopped over at Salt Lake City to visit his son, and 80 escaped the unpleasant experience. Mr. Sessions is expected to arrive in this city to-morrow. Mr. Stearns reports a favorable re- ception by the Congressional Commit- tee, and expressed the belief that Oak- land will be substantially mentioned in the appropriation bill. He says that Chairman Burton: of the committee is thoroughly conversant with the present| condition of the harbor. The secretary of the Bdard of Trade said: “I feel positive that had Oakland sent a committee to appear before the River and Harbor Committee ten years ago, we should now -have a channel: thirty feet deep, and-the land abutting on the harbor completely filled with factories.” ——————————— STINGAREE WINS STAKE AT UNION COURSING PARK A large holiday crowd witnessed the running of a special stake for grey- hounds yesterday at Union Coursing .

The violin was used by an Itallan who worked on a milk ranch formerly operated by Somérs. By the Itallan it was left on the place when he went East. The violin was turned.over to the ‘little: Somers boy for a sand shovel He used it.for a day, fortunately with- out injuring the instrument materially, and then its character was discovered by a university student who chanced to come that way.

Town building has been going on in Contra Costa‘ County in a remarkable manner in the last few years. Where there were formerly great stretches of unoccupled flelds and water front thers are now thriving towns with manufac- turing Industries, and it is little wonder that this county, once comparatively obscure, has jumped to a rank in manu- factured products that is second only to San Francisco. It was not many years ago that Mar- tinez, the county seat, and Antloch, the great .river shipping point, were the only incorporated towns in the coun- ty. “Now there is a string of. towns from the Alameda County line to An- tioch, all possessing town govenments, with others clamoring for the right to conduct their own municipal affairs. Pinole, Hercules and Black Diamond have all become incorporated towns. Richmond and Concord are fighting for the same privilege. Pinole and Her- cules are powder centers, and they have exverienced a rapid growth, par- ticularly the former, which is now on the main line of the Santa Fe system. The wonderful growth of Richmond from. unoccupied water front lands to g city of 5000 population in less than filve years 1Is pretty well known throughout the State.. ‘Richmond is now pointed to as one of the liveliest towns on the bay shore. But while this has been going on along the western shore of the county there has been another case of town building that is just as remarkable. A few years ago there was a whart projecting out into the waters of the San Joaquin River, with a tiny settle- ment at the shore end and a little rail- road that ran up to one of the coal mines‘on the side of Mount Diablo. It was known as New York Landing and when the coal road was running river steamers used to stop at the wharf for their fuel. When the mine closed down New York Landing became little more -than a. fishing -village., ‘Suddenly the village woke up. Several large manu- facturing - plants that wanted deep water located _there, the name was changed from New York Landing to Black Diamond, and now ft"fs an in- corporated town with a population that is estimated hetween 3500 and, 4000. Not satisfied with this, another town is_being planned and will be launched ‘during "1905. It is to be called Morton ‘and will be built between Black Dia- Stokes; junior steward, Frank Victor Bordwell; tyler, George Sturtevant; organist, John de Peyster Teller. —_————————— Pastor to Remain in Oakland. _OAKLAND, Dec. 26.—The Rev.

Police Judge Mortimer Smith has prepared a bill for Introduction at the forthcoming session of the State Leg- islature which is designea to correct a condition by which much of the police work of Oakland inures to the financial benefit alone of the treasury of Ala- meda County. In short, Judge Smith purposes to change the existing law by which all fines collected in the Police Courts imposed in cases of con- viction of statutory offenses as weil as of municipal ordinances shall go into the city treasury. Under existing law fines collected in cases of convicton for all offenses made such by the State Penal Code are de- posited with the county treasury. Such moneys are used solely by the county government. The only benefit the municipality gets from fines in the Police Courts is that which comes from those levied in cases of violations of municipal ordinances, such as bicycle riding unlawfully and the like.
