She | 24—Pomona | Wong asserts that the authorities | Court-Martial Fixes Punish- ment for Private Cook, Who Is Still Uncaught THOMAS READY TO SAIL Transport Will Carry Large Number of Passengers to the . Philippine Islands SESTEa te Private Willlam I. Cook, the prisoner who escaped from his guard on March § while awaiting medical attendance at the post hospital at the Presidlo, was vesterday' found gullty of larceny and burglary by a general court-martial and sentenced “to be dishonorably dis- charged from the service of the United States, forfeiting all pay and allow- ances due him, and to be confined at hard labor at such penitentiary as the reviewing authority may direct for seven years.” Should the prisoner be found he will be sent to Fort Leaven- worth, Kans., to serve his term, to- gether with an additional sentence for | his escape. Cook has been considered a desperate character in the army for some time |and not long ago he was before the ,cl\'ll courts to answer a charge of man- | slaughter for the killing of George | Webster, a private from the same com- | pany, who was found dead at the foot of the stairs in .a Market-street lodging- house. Cook admitted having a fight with Webster, but denied any knowl- edge of the killlng and was acquitted because of lack of evidence. Shortly after his acquittal he broke into the company quarters at the Pre- sidio and made away with several army revolvers, and, going near the gate, held up several people before the guard finally located him and placed him un- der arrest. Although several people were held up, he took nothing from any | ot 'thern and the authorities are at a loss to know his motive. Upon this charge he was taken be- fore.a general court-martial and while awaiting the decision of the court he teigned sickness and was sent with | seven other prisoners to the post hos- pital for.treatment under an arméd guard of four. While awalting his turn | at_the hospital Cook slipped through a | balkd window and escaped unnoticed. A thorough search of the reservation and |city was immediately made. but no | trace of the prisoner has ever been | found. The sentries were arrested, but |as the board of officers chosen to in- | vestigate the case falled to establish | the blame on “any one they were dis- | charged. | Lieutenant Burton J.- Mitchell, afde de camp to Genegal Funston, returned from Monterey yesterday, where he has been inspecting the construction of a target range.

CONSUNERS PAY T UNUSTLY Expert Says Spring Valley Company’s Assessment in Alameda Is Unreasonable Russell L. Dunn, expert on water for the Board of Bupervisors, yesterday in- formed City Attorney Burke that the water consumers of San Francisco unjust- Iy pay taxes amounting to $60,000 into the treasury of Alameda County on the assessment of $3,000,000 of the Spring Val- ley Water Company in that county. The communication says: “In preparing for the water committee the figures used as the basis of water rates fixed for the year 1906-1907 by the Board of Supervisors the writer allowed this sum, $60,000, as an item of expense charge of the Spring Valley Water Com- pany, which the water consumers of San Francisco must pay in water rates during the year “A careful examination of the assess- ment roll of Alameda County, together with my knowledge of the property of the Spring Valley in Alameda County, has satisfled me that this assessment is ar- bitrary, unreasonable and unlawful, as the so-called property pretended to be as- sessed at this valuation does not exist. “This assessment should not be permit- ted to stand as a Spring Valley property assessment for the year 1906-07, as the water consumers of San Francisco will have to pay the taxes on it in the rates fixed for 1907-08. If taken off the roll now, ‘when the water rates are fixed in Febru- ary, 1907, whatever sum of taxes is there- by saved to the Bpring Valley Water Company this year can be taken out of the rates fixed for the year 1907-08. ““The water consumers of San Franclsco have a direct money interest in securing the correction of the Spring Valley's Ala- meda County assesment by having elim- inated from the roll the $3,000,000 now as- sessed on property which Is not in exist- ence.” The young men of the Social Club of the Young Men's Christian‘\Association in'a public entertainment on Tuesday evening, March 27, will give an expose of the methods used by the various spiritualists, hypnotists and mind readers which operate in S8an Francisco. The boys are able to perform all the strange and weird feats, such as talk- ing with departed spirits, mind read- ing. etc. They will locate missing wills anl lost mothers-in-law and perform all other feats now done by the profes- sionals.

PASS SENTENCE TOWN OF SELMA [VACAVILLE MAY ON A FUGITVE IS PROSPEROUS| BECOME “DRY" Building Movement Reaches Proportions of a Boom and Banks Show Increase NEW GRAMMAR SCHOOLS Opera-House, Seeding Plant and Big Cannery Are Un- der Course of Construction Bpectal Dispatch to The Call. SELMA, March 24.—The spring build- ing movement in this city has almost reached the proportions of a boom and this, with the large increase of bank deposits during the last year, 1s a strong evidence of the prosperity pre- vailing in the Southern Fresno County big peach belt. The banks of Selma have $550,000 on deposit, a gain ot $160,000 since March of last year. The total deposits in Southern Fresno County banks is $750,000 and this is drawn from an area extending for eight miles in each direction from Selma. The deposits come principally from colon- ists, who are growing raisins, fruit and dalry products. A $50,000 raisin seeding plant is being Installed in a large three-story brick building; $40,000 is being expended for two new grammar school buildings; a big canning plant is now in course of construction and a commodious opera- house is under way. Several other bulldings are in course of construction. Carpenters are kept busy on a large number of new residences, both in town and the surrounding country. The incoming of new settlers is causing a brisk demand for residences, also coun- try property, and Selma citizens feel that the town has struck a genuilne wave of prosperity. City of Paris. * Mme. McGrath, the modiste of this dry goods company, has returned from abroad, bringing many rich and elegant Paris model robes, representing every- thing that is new in form of elegance and distinctive originality.

The battle is between those who would close the town to saloons and those who desire a continuance of the present conditions. About a year ago the anti-saloon people started a move- ment to close the saloons by petitions and secured the signatures of 100 of the 300 voters in Vacaville, but the Board of Trustees refused to take the desired action, :The members of the board claimed that they had not been elected under a temperance issue and that they would not take any such course. This year -the temperance people have can- didates for every office. They are or- ganized and clalm over 100 votes for each’of their candidates on the temper- ance.issue alone. The nominees, Inde- pendent and Temperance, for Trustees, are: W. 8. Killingsworth, Raleigh Bar- car, W. H. Edwards, J. H. Wooden, G. A, ‘Powers, G. A. Arnold and W. B. Parker; for Treasurer—Edward Fisher, ‘W. H.'Moore and O. V. Foutz; for Mar- shal—George. Weldon, R, Cannom, Al Corn, R. Gill and Riley Hill 9 ——————— Spring Tailor-Made Gowns.
