As it was, four cars and a locomotive left the track, which is badly torn up for 100 yards. cab of the locomotive was burned by oil, which took fire, and the operat- ing machinery of the big compound engine was badly damaged. A small trestle upon which the engine stopped was also badly damaged by the fire, which was extinguished by wrecking train hands from Tracy. Wrecking trains were sent from Stockton and Tracy and the track was cleared this | afternoon. In the meantime, South | Pacific_trains were switched on to the | Santa Fe track at Tracy. Traffic was interrupted for a few hours. The freight train was southbound and running at a pretty good rate. There were between thirty and forty cars. As the train approached the signal station the bridge tender start- ed to open the draw to allow a steam- er to go down the river. Engineer White says the semaphore did not go up in time to give him an oppertun- ity to stop his train, which was au- tomatically derailed. Only for this the train would have continued on| and gone through the open draw into Engineer White and Fireman Cy Larue jumped as soon as the train left the rails. PR A G 1 PREDICTS A JAPANESE INVASION OF AMERICA Rev. P. J. Stockman Says Our Mer- chants Will Have to Reckon With the Little Brown Men. TACOMA, April 8.—"A Japanese in- vasion of America during the next few years is one of the most serious prob- lems that will confront the people of this country, and those especfally of the Western coast- cities,” says Rev. P. J. Stockman, vicar general of the Los Angeles dlocese of the Catholic church, who has Jjust returned from a trip to Japan, where he spent con- siderable time studying the customs of that country. “Japan is overcrowded,” says Father Stockman, “and it will not be many years before her subjects are com- ing to this country in much greater numbers than at the present time. The resources of Japan, great as they are, are not great enough to support such an immense population and the more progressive of her citizens will seek new flelds. They will come here and go into business and will become a factor with which American mer- chants must reckon.” Father Stockman says that within | the next fiffeen or twenty years one store in five in the coast citfes will be | conducted by Japanese, and Me looks for them to engage in all classes of mercantile business. ! —_———————— Salinas Loses an Old Pioneer.

He was a pioneer in this city, was for- merly in the wholesale grocery busi- ness here and owned considerable property. He was a widower and lived with his three stepdaughters In a letter to his business agent, Willilam Scott Lee, dated Galveston. April 4, Wilder announced his pur- pose to drown himself, “I am worn out and tired out,” he wrote, “and I thought I would put this old frame where there would be no_inquest, save by the sharks.” Before going away Wilder recorded deeds transferring valuable real estate in this city to his stepdaughters. At Galveston on April 4 he wrote letters to these women, as well as Lee, an- nouncing his intention to sail on the Concha and drown himself at sea. He mailed these letters on Wednesday, shortly before boarding the steamship Concha. They were received here yes- terday. Immediately telegrams were sent to points along the gulf coast directing agents to use every means to the steamship. Efforts were also made to send messages to the steamship by wireless telegraphy. All efforts, however, were unavailing and Wilder was in fact already dead when these precautions were taken. s At it REPUBLICAN GOVERNMENT BEST.—In a debate between the Junior Literary Soclety and the Scientifice Soclety of the Humboldt Evening High School last night as to whether a republican form of government in better than a monarchy. the judges gave thelr decision in favor of the Scientific Soclety debaters, who bad_the affirmative side, A»vmmm . 7” cm'es(_ili_pand COLDS Dr. Humphray' Specifics cur1 acting directly on the sick parts with- out disturbing the rest of the system.

Wil MWW )l-!-h LONDON POLICE OUT FOR COLN Special Dispatch to The Call LONDON, April 8.—When stories of police bribery in America hvae been published here the newspapers have derived much satisfaction from draw- ing comparisons between the incor- ruptible British “bobby” and the venal American “cop.” But faith in the supe- rior virtue of the home article has been rudely shaken by the disclosures made at the trial just concluded of a suit for slander brought by ex-Inspector Mc- Carthy against one David Curtls, a bookmaker. The evidence showed that it is no uncommon thing for gamblers here to be blackmailed by the police, but it was also made plain that “pro- tection” costs much less than it does on the other side of the Atlantic. The English police official when he is dis- honest is a much cheaper man than his American guardian of the law, which from the point of view of the corruptor is a distinct advantage, McCarthy had been twenty-one years on the force, gaining promotion step by step until he hecame head of the de- tective department of Division F. That is one of the most envied positions on the force because of the opportunities it offers for “tips” for looking after weddings and other swell functions, and other gratuities that are not classed as legitimate. McCarthy had held his billet for less than a year when he was summarily dismissed from the service on a va- riety of charges, the principal one be- ing that he had taken bribes from gamblers and bookmakers. It was found that no convictions could be obtained against gambling clubs in his bailiwick, though complaints were constantly coming in. Also the street betting men seemed unusually expert in escaping detection. McCarthy’s reports to head- quarters invariably discredited the complaints received and dénied that there was any ground for organizing a raid or Instituting a prosecution. Scotland Yard began to suspect that the inspector was acting in collusion with the offenders against the law. Suspicion became certainty when, with- out McCarthy’s knowledge, another of- ficer was employed and a raid resulted in all the evidence necessary for con- viction. The inspector had been playtng the game In the fashion too iar in America and feathering his n_ nest. But the steps he took to vindicate his character showed that he was by no means a clever rascal. He brought suit for slander against Curtis, who had lodged information against him. The jury acquitted the bookmaker. And now the public is asking how many McCarthys still remain on the force. Gambling-houses flourish in London and hookmakers abound. The inference is plain.

Then Mec- Carthy threw out strong hints of an in- tention to raise the price. He inti- mated also that an occasional cham- pagne supper would assist in soothing his conscience. But the worst of it was he failed’to “make good.” Some of Cur- tis' confederates were arrested. Then Curtis told a couple of McCarthy’s ser- geants what the “old man™ had got out of him. Apparently McCarthy had failed to “whack up” with them, which was another mistake. Anyhow they carried the story to headquarters and McCarthy's downfall followed. The other McCarthys are down on him for not taking his medicine like a man, instead of causing a public scan- dal, which makes it an exceedingly risky business for them to take “quids” from bookmakers and gamblers. —_———— MUSICAL SOCIETY'S PICNIC.—The musi- cal soclety, L'Harmonle Francaise, will hold its annual plenic- this afternoon at Harbor View Park. NOVEL SCHEME TO GET WITNESS OUT OF STATE Felon Is Accused of Crime Commit- ted While He Was in Utah Penitentiary. DES MOINES, April 8.—When Gov- ernor Cummins retufns from Wash- ington ‘Monday he will be asked to grant a requisition from the Governor of Oklahoma for the return of Frank Shereliffe on a charge of murder com- | mitted in 1891 The interesting feature of the case is that the officlals here have proof that Shercliffe was in the Utah peni- tentiary a month before the time the murder is alleged to have been com- mitted. The officials believe it is merely a move to get Shercliffe out of the State, as he is an important wit- ness against Thomas Denison, who is soon to be tried for alleged complicity in the famous Pollock diamond rob- bery. Shercliffe, while in the peniten- tiary for that crime, swore that Deni- son conspired with him, e — BODY OF DEMENTED GIRL IS FOUND IN CISTERN Daughter of Wealthy Citizen of Wis- consin Mecets Death While De- ranged by Ilness.
