DECIDES AGAINST THE MONEY LENDERS Los Angeles Judge Rules Salary Assignments Are Void. tch to The Call. LOS ANGELBES, Feb. 21.—“The assign- ment of his salary by a public officer be- fore it becomes due is contrary to public policy and therefore void. This applies to Epecial Dis &il persons who draw salaries from pub- | lic treasuries.” This is the keynot¢ and final paragraph ©of & decision rendered today by Superior Judge Oster of San Bernardino County, sitting in a department of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County. The de- cision practically wipes out the supposed legal rights of those, who, by charging ruinous rates of-discount, advance money | to public employes, taking as security as. signments of their salary warrants. If the decision holds there i& nothing to pre- vent a public employe who has “shaved” his warrant to some salary shark from repudiating the assignment and collecting his salary in full In the case in which this important de- cision was rendered, an employe of the city was sued on open account. When his salary was attached it w discovered that he had assigned it to e “claim shav- er.” Despite this assignment the court decided that the man who had discounted ?ne warrant has no standing in law, and hat the transaction with him was wholly illegal, —— G.

Radical circles lated over the revelation, which w made in an open letter by the presi- a of the Putiloff section of the or- ganization, complaining that $12,000 of the funds provided through Timi- riazeff, until recently Minister of Com- merce, had not reached the treasury. The Socialists claim that this spells the downfall of the Conservative OppOSi- tion to the full revolutionary pro- gramme among the workmen It is now shown that Gapon really played a minor role in the formidable movement of January, 1905, and that | Matushensky was the director of the campaign, which mystified the police and the old-time revolutionists, and that Matushengky was the author of the great petition with which the workingmen were marching to the Winter Palace on’Sunday, January 22, 1905, to present to the Emperor when the troops fired upon them. g e TR | TO PURGE ARMY OF COWARDS. Wholesale Trials of Russian Officers That Surrendered. ST.

The higher officers who were respon- sible for the surrender of their or- ganizations must secure a vindication from a court of honor and the Minister of War. to the Emperor individually. The troops which composed the gar- rison of Port Arthur are exempt from these provisions, the responsibility for the surrender of that fortress falling | upon General Stoessel. SCHMIDT FAINTS IN COURT. of the Black Sea Mutineer Threatens to Commit Sulcide, OTCHAKOFF, Russia, Feb. 21.—Dur- ing the trial of Lieutenant Schmidt by a military and naval court here for connection with the naval mutiny of last June, Schmidt's counsel objected to three of the judges, on the ground that they had been captains of ships which bombarded the cruiser Otchakoft, | commanded by the prisoner. Counsel |also asked that the prisoner's relatives | be admitted to the court and for per- | mission to summon experts on mental | diseases. The court refused the requests, | whereupon Sohmidt, i a hystericai | seizure, fainted. His wife rushed into | the court and cried: “If you hang my. husband I shall shoot myself.” Otchakoff has been proclaimed under martial law, and patrols are searching every one, even counsel for Lieutenant | Schmidt and the others on trial with | him. | Aboda w4 | WOMEN FLOGGED WITH KNOUTS.

He declared that any na- | tion not prepared to defend its posi- | tion in China might as well haul down its flag and quit the Pacific. | Incidentally Hull pronounced Minis- ter Rockhill at Peking guilty of indis- cration in Indicating to Chfgese offi- clals that the United States intended returning the $20,000,000 Boxer indem- | nity. Statements of this kind, he said. would be taken by the Chinese as an indication that the United States was afraid, rather than liberal. Hull scouted the idea that Japan was Interested in stirrlng up trouble in China to injure the United States.

To many it seems that the conditions which prevail there are similar to those which preceded the Boxer up- rising. It must be hoped, however, that the outcome will not be the same. The detachment of troops was not sent to ‘(‘hina. but to the Philippines.” | LONDON, Feb. 22.—According to the | correspondent of the, Morning Post at Shanghai, the Taotal of Shanghal has | been appointed Governor of Peking, a | high honor and significant in view of the recent conflict over the foreign courts of Shanghai. PEKING, Feb. 21.—Meager details have | been received of attacks upon Catholic | missions~in several towns in the south- | east provinces. The Bishop of Cheng- chowfu telegraphs that Christians are fleeing. The region is the center of a long | standing feud and outbreaks are fre- | quent. POPE CREATES ROME, Feb. 21.—The Pope held a se- cret consistory today, chiefiy to create | nineteen French Bishops in the dioceses made vacant through the Franco-Vat- ican struggle. He also appointed the Rt. Rev. W. H. O'Connell, coadjufor to the Archbishop of Boston, as Arch- bishop of Constance, and the Rt. Rev. A. S. Bernard as Bishop of St. Hya- cinth, Canada. The whole ceremony was in line with the Vatican's attitude toward France. The Pontiff delivered an allocution summarizing the ideas set forth in his reecnt encyclical, showing that neces- sity hastened its appearance, “as cer- tain publications may have deceived the faithful regarding the realities and feelings of the Holy See,” evidently al- | luding to the pastoral letter of Monsig- nor Bonamelli, Archbishop of Verona, who advoeated the principle of the sep- aration of the church and state. The Pope was much affected when | delivering his allocution. He sald he | was compelled to accomplish a painful duty of his office, and summarized his recent encyclical, saying that the law providing fox the separation of church and state in France was contrary to di- vine right and contrary to the welfare of soclety, which must live in peace with religion. He expressed the hope that better times would come. MISSING ATTORNEY RETURNS TO FAMILY Failing Health Is Thought to Have Impaired His Mind. Special Dispatch to The Call. SEATTLE, Feb. 21.—Wheeler de F. Ed- wards, attorney and prominent clubman of Everett, is safe in the bosom of his family. Failing health, due possibly to the death a few months ago of an East- ern relative, is sald to be the reason for the mysterious action of the man, who, last Thursday night, instead of taking the interurban train for Tacoma on legal business as he had planned, boarded the steamer Jefferson for Juneau without glving the slightest hint to his wife and daughters.” The next morning Edwards realized what he had done, and instead of proceeding to Juneau, . disembarked at Ketchikan, where he boarded the steamer Cottage City of Beattle. ————— LONDON GETS NO DETAILS OF NIGERIAN MASSACRE Belief That French Forces, as Well as Those of Great Britaln, Have cen Deteated. LONDON, Feb. 21.—No details of the reported loss of a British force near So- koto, Northern Nigeria, has been re- ceived here. The Colonial Office has re- celved a dispatch giving the bare facts that three officers have been killed. Owing to the distance from any tele- graph line details are not obtainable. It is believed here that the French forces in Nigeria also have suffered de- feat, as French troops are mentigned in connection with the affair which® oc- curred on February 14. It is believed that there is serious trouble northeast of Sokoto, in the neighborhood of the frontier, where a new Mahdl has appeared. The British authorities, however, believe that the affair will not be allowed to spread. ———— Rallway Employe Is Killed by Trafn.

This announcement will be made as the | resuit of a conference here today between | the most active persons supporting the | House bill without amendment, but will be delivered to the committee by a Sen- ator who has supported an amendment | providing for judicial revidw of an order of the Interstate Commerce Commission. The conference at the White House was one of many that have been held there in | the last week for a discussion of the | railroad rate question. It was attended | by Senators Dolliver and Clapp, Speaker | Cannon, Representative Hepburn and At- torney General Moody. They had under | consideration an amendment sald to have | been drafted by Senator Knox and re- | vised by the Attorney General. The draft, |in its revised form, however, is said not to have been satisfactory to its author. | It was offered in a spirit of compromise |and the President and Attorney General | wanted to know whether it would be ac- | ceptable to the members of Congress who are making a fight to prevent the adop- tion of any amendment which they be- lieve would interfere with the operatfon of the measure they purpose to enact into law. Briefly stated, the amendment aims to | give to any complainant authority to file |a petition in a Circuit Court asserting | that a rate fixed by the commission was in fact jllegal or that an order of the commission- was in reality unlawful and authorizes the court to hear the suit to decide whether the commission acted | within its authority and whether the con- stitutional right of the people had been violated. As they had previously announced they would dgo, all those called into the confer- | ence made a firm stand for the Hepburn bill in its present.form and sald that none of the amendments suggested seemed to be an improvement. They said that if the bill specifisd the conditions under whick complaints could be taken into court, the court might refuse to take cognizance of | matters not specified in the bill. They | said they had decided to leaves gpen every | feature under which an aggrieved person | might go to court. B Attorney General* Moody, it is said, con- tended that the Hepburn bill was consti- tutional and that there was no danger of | its belng overturned by the Supreme | Court of the United States. He would | not pass upon the wisdom of amending | the bill because, he said, that was a func- tion outside of his professional province. When Senators Dolliver and Clapp re- | turned to the Capitol they told certain | colleagues that they would go into the | committee on Friday and make a firm | the remedigs of known qua of their own personal knowledge to buy the genuine article and There are two classes of remedies: those of known qual- ity and which are permanently beneficial in effect, acting gently, in harmony with nature, when nature need§ assist- ance; and another class, composed of preparations of unknown, uncertain and inferior character, acting tempo- ) rarily, but injuriously, as a result of forcing the natural functions unnecessarily. One of the mest exceptional of lity and excellence is the ever ? pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., which represents the active principles of plants, known to act most beneficially, in a pleasantsyrup, in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to con- tribute their rich, yet delicate, fruity flavor. It is the remedy of all remedies to sweeten and refreshandcleanse the system gently and naturally, and to assist one in overcoming consti- &3 pation and the many ills resulting therefrom. Its active princi- s& ples and quality are known to physicians generally, and the remedy has therefore met with their approval, as well as with the favor of many millions of well informed persons who know and from actual experience thatitis a most excellent laxative remedy. We donot claim that g it will cure all manner of ills,but recommend it for what it really #% represents, a laxative remedy of known quality and excellence, containing nothing of an objectionable or injurious character. There are two classes of purchasers: those who are informed as to the quality of what they buy and the reasonsfor the excellence of articles of exceptional merit, and who do not lack courage to go elsewhere when a dealer offers an imitation of any well known article; but, unfortunately, there are some people who do not know, and who allow themselves to be imposed upon. They cannot expect its beneficial effects if they do not get the genuine remedy. 3 To the credit of the druggists of the United States be it said “§! that nearly all of them value their reputation for professional B\ integrity and the good will of their customers too highly to offer imitations of the Genuine— Syrup of Figs manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., and in order to get its beneficial effects, one has only to note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—plainly printedon the ! front of every package.

Sullivan, a boatswain's mate in the United States navy, who was a passenger on the steam- er Queen when that vessel sailed from Victoria to the scene of the wreck of the Valencia, told Federal Commissioners Smith, Murray and Burwell that he had not reported that he offered to take a boat ashore, as was told in the newspapers. He sald he did not think a boat could have been lowered from the Queen be- cause she was rolling so badly. H& be- lieved that the tug Czar could have ren- dered assistance, as he thought at the time she was equipped with wrecking ap- paratus and was a much smaller vessel. According to Sullivan, Captain Cousins] did not desert his post. He'said that the master of the Queen mage an attempt to communicate with the captain of the Czar when that vessel was in the vicinity of the wreck. The tug came in close to the Queen, and some one waved a hand to in- dicate that the wreck was farther along the coast. Sullivan said that passengers on the deck of the Queen cried out ““Cold | feet” as the Czar steamed away from the wreck in search of shelter. The Queen stood by, taking seas over her decks, un- til relieved by the City of Topeka and or- dered to proceed to Victoria by Captain Patterson.

AT A REINSPECTION ORDERED. SEATTLE, Feb. 21.—Reinspection of all vessels in Seattle harbor will begin Friday morning. This is in accord- ance with instructions from the Secre- tary of the Navy, acting on the sug- gestion of the Secretary of Commerce and Labor, made through resolutions adopted in, this city after the Valen- cia disaster. Telegraphic instructions authorizing the reinspection were re- ceived from the department today by Chairman Murray. 'The Commissioners conferred with the inspecting officers, and it was de- cided to start work Friday morning, the Secretary of the Navy having is- sued the necessary order to the latter.

F., Richardson, repre- | | senting the prisoners, demande: n im- | ; mediate preliminary hearing, but it fin- | ally was agreed that the case should 80 over until next Tuesday, when a | further continuance may be ordered. Attorney Richardson maintain that the information filed against the prisoners was not sufficient. as the affidavit charged the commission of a crime in | Caldwell, whereas Moyer had not been in the State of Idaho since October last, and the two other prisohers had not been in Idaho in years. There was in the information no word of conspiracy, he said. The court overruled his objection to the information and his metion for the dismissal of the prisoners. They were committed without ball. The three prisoners were brought back to Bolse this afternoon and were again taken to the State Penitentiary, where they will be kept in close confinement. They will be permitted to read books. DENVER, Feb. 2lL.—A meeting of the executive board of the Western Federa- tion of Miners will be called within a week to adopt plans for the defense of the officers now under arrest in Idaho. The members of the federation, it is sald, will be asked to subscribe money to defend Moyer, Haywood and Pettibone. “We will secure the best legal tal- ent obtainable in the country,” said James Kirwan of the executive board. “The rank and file of the members of the federation belleve in the innocence of thelr officers, and will see that they have justice, if such a thing is pro- curable. The charges brought against our men are the same ones which have been trumped up by the mine owners so many times. Fifty-three of us were arrested after the Independence ex- plosion, but none were ever prose- cuted. Our arrest was made merely “for political effect. “It is & queer thing that every time any one had made~a so-called confes- sion It has been proved beyond a doubt that he was in the employ of the Mine Owners' Assoclation.” Acting Secretary James Kerwin gav out an interview to-night, in vm"n: to break up the federation. The prime Ject, he declared, was to cmpol’flu !:: eration to drop its civil suits against the mineowners of Colorado for damages growing out of the Colorado labor troubles of %o pnl‘two or three years. ““These suits will be pushed,” emphati- cally declared Mr. K “as long :‘l one member of the executive committee is left alive to see to it.” Kerwin said that a meeting of mine owners of Western States was held se- cretly in this city less than a month ago, when a million-dollar fund was - sub- scribed to be used in “further efforts to re- ferred to; that the business -mh‘ feder- ation was so arranged that any of the executive committee could take Kerwin asserted that the federation has a million dollars available for the defense of the leaders and the very best legal talent would be engaged both for the Idaho trials and the civil suits against the mine owners.
