During September Perkins was employed in a barber shop in Stockton and it ic alleged he opened the mail of John White, an acquaintance, and took therefrom a check from the Government Pension Office at Washington. White was absent from Stockton at the time. The check was for $26.

SANTA' CRUZ, Dec. 28.—Walter E. Bamber, & San Francisco commission agent who was arrested last week on a charge of obtaining money by false pretenses, ‘was acquitted by Judge Bias to-day. Bamber gave a Soquel orchardist a check for $324 in pay- ment for his apple crop, telling him not to present the check for several days, as there was no money in the bank at the time. The orchardist be- came anxious for his money and pre- sented the check. There was only $174 to cover it in the bank. He then made complaint against Bamber. Judge Bias dismissed the charge on the ground that there was no evidence of any false pretense shown by the testimony of the prosecuting witness. —_————— ‘The Original Little Beneficencia Publica Company of San Francisco.

Edward M. Post, a broker, told how Charles Ahle, representing Town Top-, ics, had tried to . extort money from! him. James A. Burden Jr., a man of great wealth, told how Robert A. Irving visited his residence. “I received a telephone message that a representative from Colonel Mann of Town Topics wished to call on me,” he began, “and when Irving was an- nounced I received him in my ‘den.’ He stated at once that he was sent by Colonel Mann and solicited my sub- scription to a publication called ‘Fads and Fancles.” The price was to be $1500, and he suggested that I be one of the number to subscribe. I sald ‘No.” ‘“‘He sald, ‘It 18 a good thing,’ and T re- plied that I did not wish to ve In it under any circumstances. Then he said that Town Topics had treated my family very well in the past, and suggested that I subscribe for the book witnout my name being in it. I said ‘No.’ I saw no reason to give $1500 for the book. He then said he had spent considerable time, and asked it I would give him his commission on the book, some $300 or $400, I believe. ‘You know Christmas is coming,’ he said. “He then said, 'Town Topics has treated your family well in the past. You know that the editor of Town Topics wields a trenchant pen, and if "I go back to Colonel Mann without a subscription he will be displeased.’ He then sald he might not treat me and my family as well in the future. I looked at this as a threat and brought the in- terview to a close at onve.” Burden was then cross-examined by Mr. Scheurman of counsel for the prosecution. “Now, didn’t he say that ‘Christmas was coming’ in a spirit of banter and g00d nature?” inquired Scheurman. “No, he did not. I thought that he wanted the money. He became urgent and assumed a bulldozing attitude.” MUSIC AND TRIUMPHAL ARCHES FOR BRYAN Filipinos Give Gala Greeting to the American Orator.

It is understood that'Morales left the capital in order to join his partisans in the north. General Rodriguez, the Gov- ernor of Monte Christl, with his followers has gone to meet Morales. Rodriguez’s forces are said to be nu- merous. It is claimed here that the re- port that Morales intends to establish a new capital at Monte Christl is correct and that he will use that place as a base from which he will endeavor to suppress the uprising of the Caceres party at the old capital of Banto Domingo. A censor- ship of all messages has been established at Monte Christi. Important news from Santo Domingo is expected momentarily. WASHINGTON, Deec. 28.—The State De- partment has had another brief dispatch from Santo Domingo under yesterday's date, confirming the preceding report to the effect that President Morales was said to be about fifteen miles west of San Domingo City, fighting the troops of the Cabinet. Mr. Joubert, the Dominican Minister here, called upon Secretary Root at the State Department to-day to talk over Do- minican affairs. He had a short cable message from Senor Tejera, the Minister, for Foreign Affairs, announcing that Gen- eral Caceres, the Vice President, who was at Puerto Plata’ when Morales fled from the capital, was expected to arrive at San Domingo City to-morrow, and would be immediately inducted into the Presiden- tial office. Joubert had- nothing to indicate that President Morales had been wounded, nor aid he think the fighting reported to have taken place near Jaima Tuesday was se- rious. He doubted very much whether Morales intended to start another revolu- tion. It was probable, he thought, that Morales would wait for a time to see what effect the upheaval in Santo Do- mingo would have upon the relations be- tween that country and the United States. In the Minister's opinion, the modus vivendi, under. which Dominican customs revenues are now being collected by Americans appointed by the Domini- can President for that purpose, would not be affected by Morales' retirement, for the dominant party in the Cabinet still stands strongly committed to the existing arrangement. DECISION INVOLVES A MILLION DOLLARS Court Sustains Appeal in the Case of the Sully Company. NEW YORK, Dec. 28.—Judge Hqlt In the United States District Court to-day handed: down an opinion overruling the findings of the referee in bankruptcy in the case of Sully & Co., cotton brokers, and sustaining the appeal taken by the stee in bankruptcy. t"’\ll‘he court decided that Hawley & Ray, formerly associated with Sully & Co., have no right to examine the books of Sully & Co., or to re-examine the claims of the Cotton Exchange creditors, with a view to proving them illegal. The effect of the decision will be to force Hawley & Ray to defend the suits brought against them in the Supreme Court to revover $1,000,000 by the trustee in bankruptcy for Sully. It was contended by Hawley & Ray that the claims of the Cotton Exchange creditors were illegal, really rendering Sully solvent on the morning of the fail- ure, and that, being solvent, the release which they claim Sully executed to them was valid® —r————— GIGANTIC DRYDOCK DEWEY STARTS ON ITS LONG VOYAGE Three Vessels in Tandem Will Tow Great Floating Mass to ' Philippines. ANNAPOLIS, Md., Dec. 28—The gi- gantic drydock Dewey made an auspi- cious start this afternoon on its 14,000- mile trip to the Philippines, under the direction of Commander H. H. Hosley, U. S. N. The start was made at 2:05 o'clock, and at 6 o'clock the lights on the dock could be seen at a distance of eight or nine miles below Solomons Isl- and, the starting point. There was no mishap of any kind. - Three ‘vessels in tandem are towing the Dewey. Next to the dock Is the collier Brutus, then the collier Caesar, and in front is the tug Potomac.

HAVANA, Dec. 28.—The appropria- tion of $10,000 passed by the House of Representatives to aid the striking Cuban cigarmakers at Key West is not likely to pass the Senate, as the, Finance Committee to-day adopted an almost unanimous report opposing it. It is urged that General Rivera, Sec- retary of the Treasury, will overrule the appropriation of $1000 granted by the Havana Municipal Council for the same purpose, and that the Govern- ment will not permit the granting of the $5000 appropriated by the Havana Provinclal Couneil. —— e Sonoma Paying Off Indebtedness.

Dr. Barker was not r t ATE CONTEST s TO OPEN EARLY Preparations Are On for Convention of Clubs. SRR Ve G ! Justice M. T. Allen May Get Supreme Judgeship. Events are shaping for an early opening | of the gubernatorial campalgn of 1906. Ferd K. Rule of Los Angeles, president of the California League of Republican Clubs, has begun preparations for the bi- ennial convegtion of the league. It would not surprise the politiclans if the con-; vention should be as large and as im-| portant as the gathering of club heroes | in San Jose in May, 1902. It is expected ; that the leading Republican clubs of San Francisco, Los Angeles, Oakland, San! Jose, San Diego, Sacramento and of other } cities of the State would send large dele- | gatlons to the blennial convention. In, due time a meeting of the executive com- mittee will be called to make arrange- ments for the first demonstration of the campaign. Quite a rivalry for the honor of enter- taining the State nominating convention of 1906 is already foreshadowed. It IS, clear that the leading citizens of Santa Cruz will present a proposition to the | Republican State Committee which the | party representatives cah hardly decline. ! The proposed new pavilion on the ocean beach at Santa Cruz, designed especlally for the accommodation of large conven- tions, will be ready for occupancy by mid- summer. Santa Cruz. is a delightful place in any month of the wear and Is ex-- ceptionally alluring in August and Sep- tember, when the weather inland is hot and oppressive. Moreover the hotel facil- fties of the little city' by the sea are ample and excellent. It is known now that nearly all the State officers and members of Congress in California will be candidates for re- nomination to their respective positions, but animated contests will take place at several places along the line. It is said that the Republicans of the region south of Tehachapl, by reason of their immense | strength, and the unfailing support which | they gave to the Republican cause in the close campaign four years ago, will de- mand increased recognition in the make- up of the ticket. The appointment of Justice M. T. Allen of the Court of Appeal, Los Angeles dis- trict, to the State Supreme Court would not create surprise. It is gossip in the political camps that Governor Pardee will select some well-known lawyer of South- ern California to fill the .vacancy caused by the death of Justice Walter Van Dyke. At the general election in November next the voters will elect three Associate Justices of the Supreme Court. The term of twelve years for which Jackson Tem- ple was elected will expire in January, 1907. Shortly after Temple's death Wil- liam G. Lorigan of San Jose was ap- pointed, on January 5, 198, to fiil the vacancy. BSubsequently Justice Lorigan was elected for the unexpired term. It is common talk that he expects re- nomination and re-election: In January, 1907, the term for which Justice F. W. Henshaw was chosen will expire. It Is an open question whether he will be a candidate for renomination. There is talk to the effect that he will step out in favor of Judge H. A. Melvin. ‘Word comes from Sonoma County that Judge A. G. Burnett will be supported by active and influential delegations, hence the annpuncement of Justice Hen- shaw’s retirement might impart additional strength to Judge Burnett's candidacy. Apart from these three places ou the Supreme bench there will be nine Ap- pellate Justices to elect, three for each of the three Courts of Appeal. It is quite well understood that the nine Justices recently appointed by Governor Pardee are candidates for an elective term. Of course if Justice Allen of Los Angeles goes to the Supreme bench some other lawyer will be appointed to the Appellate Court of the southern district.
