He added: | I only know that the damning admission | | stands that the trusts did supply Mr. Cortelyou | | with campaign funds. Mr. Cort | made answer tc this charge.

Pladwell of San Francisco arrived ves- | terday in their interest and will meet with the delegation at Senator Perkins' office to-morrow morning. | Senator Perkigs, whose bill it is. says that inasmuch as the recommendations of the specially appointed commission are followed in the description of the area to be set over from the park to the forest reserve, no better terms can be secured. The Fresnd people, however— or rather those interested in the Fresno electric railway line into the park— want a considerable portion of the western margin set over more than is provided in the bill, and are going to fight for it. Those who champion thi bill says that to tamper with it, how ever, is to risk its passage altogether. | MAN WHO SHOT | OUTLAW TRACY DIES IN ASYLUM| sl Yetter from 1503, Vermont Avenue, N. ““Frem ths. take pleasury in co —Paul E.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 18.—General Harrison Gray Otis and his son-in- law, Harry Chandler, owners and pub- lishers of a Los Angeles morning news- paper, were fined $500 each by Judge Wilber in the Superior Court to-day for publishing articles alleged to re- flect on the action and motives of the recent County Gramd Jury. The case is a very unusual one. The defendants claimed that their publica- tion was a privileged one, that it was the province of the public press to comment freely upon the acts of the Grand Jury and that any effort to un- duly restrict criticism would be an abridgment of the rights of the press. The court, however, found them guilty and imposed the fines. The case will be appealed. The alleged offense was) brought to the attention of the court by the mem- bers of the Grand Jury, who filed af- fidavits setting forth that the publica- tion of the articles complained of was intended to intimidate them. —_— e——— STEAMSHIP MELVILLE DOLLAR ENCOUNTERS BAD WEATHER starms\ Cause the Vessel to Reach Seattle Five Days Behind Her Schedule Time.
