J. Smith, the late Tax Collector, which the Grand Jury and the experts are not able apparently to solve. According to | the gossip in banking circles and the stories told on the street the large amount of money which was put up in | April, 1904, to shield the Tax Collector from exposure and arrest must have been paid back to the parties who loaned James B. Smith the securities on which the coin was borrowed from banks and individuals. % The fact can be proved that James B. Smith did raise a sum approximat- ing $165,000, ostensibly for the purpose of enabling the Tax Collector to make a settlement with the Treasurer. It can be proved also that one well-known business man who put up securities to the value of $100,000 to help the Smith brothers in their pecuniary distress was reimbursed: Shortly after the res- cue act was performed his stocks and bonds were released and returned to him. The story goes that John Rosen- feld’s Sons accommodated James B. Smith with a loan of $65,000, and there is an impression that this amount is still due them from Smith, although they are fully protected by securities pledged for the repayment of the money. Rumor to the effect that James B. Smith is a director in the American National Bank is not correct. The fact seems to be that E. J. Smith deposited large sums of money in that bank. He deposited small sums in other banks. | The American National Bank and the London and San Francisco Bank, it is said, extended accommodations to James B. Smith, taking as security the gilt-edged bonds and stocks which the Smiths borrowed from their friends in business circles. There is. an. impression .in banking circles that the amount of money which the Tax Collector squandered on women of the half-world and slow horsés is overestimated. The defaulter had some method in juggling with the public funde. In one of the city banks he deposited the sum of $50,000.. Checks were occasionally drawn on the bank and other deposits were made. Finally all the money to. the credit of the Tax Collector was checked out and no fur- ther deposit was made. The banker calls to mind that nothing was ever said to Smith, in words or figures, con- cerning the trivial matter of interest. The question is asked: “Where did the money come from which enabled James B. Smith ta repay the parties who advanced him $100,000 one year ago?” There is a very strong suspicion among politicians that the coin,#if it ever reached the Treasurer's office, was taken out again as soon as the danger of exposure passed. There is hardly a doubt that the Tax Collector had con- federates at the City Hall who kept him advised as to the probable inten- tions of the Mayor and Grand Jury. In due time the Grand Jury may be able to obtain from well-informed bankers all the details connected with the alarming rush one year ago which ended in the raising of $165,000 to bridge over the delinquencies of the Tax Collector. The bankers may not care to “talk for publication,” but they might be constrained through a spirit of civic patriotism {o impart informa- tion in confidence to the Grand Jury. The banks cannot lose anything, as they hold securities of gilt-edge char- acter for money advanced. The city, it is said, will not lose, as the surety company has announced a purpose to make good its bond. The story of the defaleation as told in April, 1904, to the extending over almost fifteen years and the expenditure of about $2500 by the { litigants, the cwnership of a $30 cow | has been passed upon finally by the State Supreme Court. However, the cow is dead. | The case was started Iin Colorado Springs, N. Hoyt Stevens, owner of the fashionable Alta Vista Hotel being plaintiff and Dr. R. M. Smith defend- lant. The plaintiff got the decision in yevery one of the five courts through which the case passed, and every time he won Smith appealed. In 1891 Stevens went to California, | leaving a heifer in pasture at Broad- moor, near Colorado Springs. The heifer strayed into the Broadmoor dairy pasture. Dr.. Smith purchased the dairy a few days later. He claim- i ed the heifer was included in the pur- chase, thongh the dairy -foreman ad- mitted Stevens’ ownership. Stevens | sued and got judgment. Smith appealed to the District Court, which confirmed the Justice’s decision. Then Smith appealed to the Court of Appeals, which sent the case back to the District Court. Stevens won again, and Smith appealed to the Court of Appeals again. The latter court was merged into the Supreme Court re- cently, and it affirmed the lower court’s decision. Stevens gets $300+damages, the cost of the cow and interest. Smith has more than $2000 costs to pay.

Probably 200 were wounded. Crowds gathered at the Tenth Dis- trict police station this morning, where thirty victims, men and women and i three children, were awaiting identifi- { cation. { Some minor disturbances occurred { to-day in different sections of the city, {but no casualties have yet been re- | ported. All day long infantry and cavalry patrolled the streets, which were crowd- ed with people, who did not spare their i criticism of what was generally termed unnecessary slaughter. The popular irritation could not be concealed. The soldiers evidently were mnervous, and open outbreaks, resulting in a repeti- tion of yesterday's terrible scenes, were averted only by the evident desire of the authorities to prevent a clash, coupled with the fear inspired by the soldiers’ bullets. The population is bit- ter against the military, and the Gov- ernment officials expect many attempts at revenge upon the officers command- ing the troops, all of whom are known. The Polish press is silent on the sub- ject of yesterday’s events. The official Russian paper prints a short and en- tirely inaccurate report. The Governor General of Warsaw is sald to be great- ly upset by the turn of affairs. GENERAL STRIKE UNLIKELY. The Nationalists have ‘arranged the usual demonstrations for to-morrow, ELECTRIC STORY * NEAR KESWICK Speclal Dispatch to The Call. REDDING, May 2.—A terrific electric storm raged to-day in the vicinity of Keswick, Lightning struck a number of trees in the smelter town. The tele- phone system was put out of commis- sion and the sub-station of the power company was badly damaged. The storm was accompanied by heavy fall of rain and hail. BAKERSFIELD, May 2—At 7 o'clock to-night there was another heavy rainstofm. . There was a smaM washout -at Jastro on the Santa Fe Railroad. It is believed the heavy rain of last night and this morning will do some damage to the fruit. SACRAMENTO, May 2.—A heavy downpour of rain began at 3 o’'clock this afternoon, and at midnight nearly three-quarters of an inch had fallen. The weather is extremely cold, making it bad for cherries and strawberries. MILTON, May 2.—Nearly an inch of rain fell here last night. But little damage was done to the hay, which is being harvested, and that was more than offset by the benefit which will accrue to late-sown grain. WOODLAND, May 2.—At 8 o'clock this morning the rain gauge showed the precipitation for the preceding twenty-four hours to be 1.17. Hay has been damaged considerably, also the early grain, which already shows a tendency to rust. The late sown grain will be benefited. SAN JOSE, May 2.—In the storm of last night and to-day -98 of an inch of rain fell. This makes a total of 22.35 inches for the season, the greatest rainfall in many years. Some volun- teer hay will be damaged, but the or- chard and cereal ‘crops will be greatly benefited. PR P e STORM IN THE SOUTH. Record Breaking Wind Blows in Los Angeles.

The new Government scales estab- lished at convenient intervals along the water front were yesterday placed in commission and hereafter Uncie fam will attend to his own welighing of all cargo that comes under the jurisdiction of the Custom-house. Incidenta’'ly there was discovered one of the reasoas for the revenue of the city faillng many thousands of dollars below the figur: that Expert Douglas Young declares it ought to reach. The trucks, carts and wagons on which discharged freight is carried away from the wharves are { Qrst weighed empty, that the tare may be ascertained and a proper deduction made when the loaded vehicle re- turns to the scales. In order to iden- tify each truck, wagon and cart, the Government weighers hit upon a plan which would avoid the possibility of duplication. They decided to take the license number of each vehicle. Under the law every one of these carts, trucks and wagons must be li- censed, and the-license number should be in plain view. The plan seemed per- fect, but it proved a failure, for the reason that licenses had been taken out for only about one-third of the vehi- cles. Under the spur of Grand Jury activ- ity in this particular direction the 1i- cense office will probably do a rushing business in the vehicle department within the next few days. Should the Grand Jury get curious there may be some bad quarter-hours in store for the men responsible for this wholesale overlooking of a source of city revenue.

The people have not yet recovered from the exhaustion and losses resulting from the last strike. Reports conflict regarding the begin- ning of yesterday’s encounter in Jeru- salem street. According to the most generally accepted version the authori- ties had forbidden the carrying of red flags by workmen marching in the pro- cession, but the workmen decided to ig- nore the order. When the procession reached Jerusalem street the police or- dered the workmen to stop, but they refused to do 'so, and a police officer thereupon fired a revolver, giving a signal for the infantry to fire. It ap- pears that in other cases the demon- strators were the aggressors, but that in this instance the soldiers fired first. The industrial population is deeply exasperated over the sanguinary re- sults of yesterday’s encounter. The strikes inaugurated on a large scale here, in Lodz and in oth#r cities are rapidly spreading, and 75,000 persons are out on strike in Lodz. Cossacks are patrolling the streets of Warsaw by companies on account of the dan- ger to smaller detachments. In Lodz, according to an official re- port, four women were killed. BRUTALITY OF THE TROOPS. During the encounter on Jerusalem street the troops not only fired a vol- ley, but used the butts of their rifies and their bayonets and swords. The heads and limbs of many women and children were broken. Some of the injuries were of a terrible nature. There were cases where the soldlers entered the courtyards of houses and attacked those hiding there. When the troops fired after the bomb was thrown near the Vienna railroad station four "persons were killed and seven were wounded. All the windows in the neighborhood were shattered. At Kalisz, during a service in a church yesterday, the congregation began singing patriotic songs, where- upon soldiers and police entered the building and attacked the people, wounding many of them. A free fight ensued, during which weapons were wrestled from the police, shots were exchanged and stones were thrown. A dragoon, a woman 4nd a man were killed inside the church. A squadron of cavalry was summoned and dis- persed the crowds. The church was closed for reconsecration. along the coast. INPERSONATES -~ SICK FRIEND LOS ANGELES, May 2.—It has been discovered that M. S. Potter, the al- leged embezzling bank cashier of D visboro, Ga., who was arrested in this city yesterday under the name of J. M. Markley, impersonated the name of Markley, whom he met here as 'a friend, and who at the time was lying in a hospital serfously ill with rheu- matism. According to Markley, who is the son of wealthy parents in Atlanta, Ga., and an employe of the Title Guarantee and Trust Company, he met Potter at the hotel, where they were both staying, and soon became friends and room- mates. Shortly after the meeting Markley was taken ill and removed to the hospital. Markley relates how Potter then took possession of his (Markley's) letters of recommendation from his employers, proceeded to the Merchants' Trust Company of this eity, | where, representing himself as Mark- ley and presenting the latter’s creden- tials, he was given employment under the name of Markley- Markley was confined in bed at the hospital, and Potter continued to hold his position until his arrest yesterday.
