SACRAMENTO, of Sacramento, who declines to give his name for puhllcatlon says that he knows that “Caesar” Young was the owner of a pistol, which he believes to be the very weapon described in the «*»trz\r hes as that which caused Young’s death.

GARFIELD BEGINS NEW CAMPAIGY Tobacco Trust Now the Subject of l_nquiry. Special Dispatch to The Call NEW YORK, May 3.—With great se- crecy an investigation into the tobacco trust is being conducted in this city and elsewhere, and it promises to re- sult in a sweeping Government in- quiry. Special agents sent out by Commissioner Garfield of the Bureau of Corporations have been unusually act- ive here and in Philadelphia recently, jand it is alleged that much evidence tending to show restraint of trade has been gathered. The independent dealers are with Garfield, and, though they admit that the methods of the trust have been modified since certain convictions were cbtained last fall, they say it is prac- tically impossible for small independent dealers to sell at a profit. Searching investigations are heing made very quiztly, and independent to- bacco men assert that a bomb will be thrown into the camp of the tobacco trust before long. ——— ARMY AND NAVY ORDERS.

There was no inkling as to . what it was all abcut until the guests had been ushered into the dining-room. The table was handsomely decorated, the most striking of the decorations being a huge stork. It stood in the center of the table, its beak gracefully pointed in the direction of Mrs. Hodg- son’s chair. The place cards were dec- orated with pictures of stérks and | other things which the story books tell of as accompanying the joy-giving birds in their pilgrimages. The climax came when a loving cup | was sent on its round. When a taste of” its contents revealed that the cup held only milk, not a smile was shown.

STOCKTON, May 3.—Becoming sud- denly insane and murderous, Willlam Terry, a young man of Campo Seco. planned to murder the aged father of his friend, Arthur Fay. Terry went to visit the Fays, who live in a lonesome spot near the Venus mine, on Monday and was invited to stay for dinmer. While the meal was going on it was noticed that Terry ap- peared to talk and act strangely. Shortly after dinner Terry took young Fay aside and told him that he had come to kill his fatheér. Terry was armed and Fay was not. The latter acted with rare presence of mind. He told Terry that it would be all right for him to kill the old gentleman, but that before he did it he desired Terry to walk to Campo Seco with him on an errand. He said that there would be plenty of time after their return for Terry to carry out his design. Terry was easily persuaded by the calm acquiescence with which young Fay fell in with his plan and he readily accompanied him to town. Once there Fay lost no time in notifying Deputy Sheriff Pickard, and the latter at once arrested and ironed Terry. Later the Sheriff was communicated with and he sent two deputies to remove Terry to the county seat at San Andreas. ————— TIME SIGNALS ARE RECEIVED UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, May 3.—A special set of time signals sent from Washington, D.

Such rapidity was exercised by the telegraph companies that the longi- tude of the university observatory ‘was accurately determined. Dr. Tracy Crawford and Dr. A. F. Gilllhan of the university astronomical depart- ment made special time determina- tion under the direction of Professor A. O. Leuschner, the head of the de- partment, so that the exact instant of the receipt of signals was ascertained. The results obtained at the local ob- servatory were immediately wired back to Washington, to be considered by the Railway Congress, in conjune- tion with like data from other obser- vatories and stations, with matters pertaining to railway service.
