Willie Stanley Found Guilty
As Per Charge.
BIG BERTHA'S TURN NEXT
Clunie's Election to Congress Still
Considered Probable Other
Items.

IAssociated Press Dispatcnes to the HERALD
San FRANCISCO, November 16 In the
trial to-day OF VIM. H. NJ. Stanley, claim
ing to be the son of "Big Bertha" the
confidence operator, Assistant District
Attorney Whalen said he expected to
show that the defendant represented that
he was worth $400, 900; that on obtaining
jewelry from Henry Parsons he stated
that he had $500 coming to him shortly
and he would then pay for the ring and
earrings. After obtaining the jewelry he
took it to Los Angeles.
Parsons, the jeweler, who was the first
witness, said he became acquainted with
the defendant February last, and that in
March the latter got from him diamoad
pin and earrings worth about $1,000.
A few days later witness went to Los
Angeles with Mrs. Stanley and son on
pleasure trip. He said Mrs. Stanley was
wearing the earrings and Willie the
ring. 1t cost him $500 to get the Jewels
out of pawn where they left them. Wit.
ness acknowledged that he had not been
anxious to prosecute as he had got back
his Losses since his return from Southern
California.
William Gruhn next testified that
Stanley told him the jewels were given
to him by an uncle named Bates, resid-
ing in New York. Both sides rested
their case and after strong charge by
Judge Murphy the jury retired and re-
turned in ten minutes with verdict of
guilty as charged. big Bertha's" trial
on the same charge will begin next
Monday.

1t is officially declared that the asser-

such movements as have been made is
merely to develop the defenses necessary
to preserve military balance, compared
with the forces maintained by neighbor-

The TenpletOn Tunnel.

SAN FRANCISCO, November 16.-It is
stated here that it will take about year
for the Southern Pacific to build the
tunnel south of Templeton, and while
that is going on the track will be laid
into San Luis Obispo. No work will be
done south of the latter town until the
tunnel is completed, because the means
of delivering the supplies beyond that
point would be too expensive. AS far as
known, however, supplies will be deliv-
cred readily, hut at some cost. 1t is safe
to say that the total cost will not fall
short of 81, 500 ,0OO

DR. MGLYNN'S NEW SCHEME.

He Proposes Way to Dodge Rent Pay
 ing and Down the Landlords.
 NEW YORK, July 2.-Dr. McGlynn ad- dressed the Anti-Poverty society last night at Cooper Union in favor of non-payment of rent to landlords.
 Suppose" said the doctor, "that five, ten, fifteen or twenty thousand tenants should, on given day, say to the landlords, We will pay you no more ground rent, but only fair house hire for your house. Don't you think it would be a good while before the landlords could evict them all? First there must be a notice, and then trial in district court, before the tenants can be turned out The district courts are limited in number. It might take good many months to expedite those processes. In the meantime those ten ants would be living in those houses, rent free. The victory would almost be won."
 He said the scheme was legal and practica- ble. It might be well to try it upon some tenement house block, and mildly boycott the premises. He would not urge boycott, but said the law could not punish him for saying that he should not feel comfortable in occupying room from which a tenant had been evicted Dr. McGlynn will go mora fully into his scheme next Sunday.

WESTERN NEW ENGLAND CROPS.
General Prospects Good-The Bcst Grass
 for Years-tirnin and Fruits.

General Prospects Good-The IScst Grass
 for Ycars-tirnin and Fruits
 SPRINGFIELD, Mass, July 2-Tha>, ~pab lican prints to-day reports from evef fo0 cor. respondents of the crop prospects in western New England, including western Massachu- setts, northern Connecticut and southern dis tricts in New Hampshire and Vermont All reports agree in declaring the grass crop the best known for many years in both quantity and quality. In view of the increased atten- tion being given to dairy farming this fact is important.
 The growth of grains was retarded by the cold wet weather of May, but the recent hot weather has given them start, and a good harvest is expected.
 The acreage of corn seems to be increasing, evidently to the detriment of tobacco, which is steadily losing ground, except in a few towns in the Connecticut valley. The little tobacco reported is growing we'll, but GU, worms have been doing it some damage.
 The high prices for potatoes have proved a great temptation to the farmers, q large in- crease being noted everywhere, and if wet weather does not tring the rot, and the bugs can be kept away, potatoes will be plenty and cheap this fall.
 Indications point to fair, but not large crop of fruits. Apples will be comparatively scarce, the trees in some localities having failed to bloom. The smaller fruits are be- ing grown in tue Connecticut valley this year more extensively than ever, and the crop may be larger than usual Wild berries are sad to be very plenty.
 Vegetables in general are said to be in q fiourishing condition. In Sunderland Shelf field and a few other towns onion raising is becoming the special occupation of farmers, and the plants are developing finely.

Robert Flack Will Go Through tho
 Rapids on Wednesday.
 BUFFALO, July 2.-Robert Flack, of Syra- cuse, who has arrived at Suspension Bridge with his boat, the Phantom, ill answer to tho challenge of Charles Percy, of that village, to race through the Whirlpool rapids for 0 purse within six weeks will make trial trip through the rapids next Wednesday.
 The Phantom is Is feet long, feet inches wide ill the center, S4 inches deep and pointed at both ends. Air chambers are dis carded, but between the outside and the lin ing are cushions lighter than cork and which give the boat great buoyancy. The nature of the maternal used in the cushions the builder keeps a secret, as he wishes to secure a patent on it.
 The entire craft weighs about 700 pounds, and Flack claims he can make six miles an hour with it. The machinery moves easily, and the Phantom can tow six ordinary row. boats and make nearly good time. The builder claims that while the boat will hold but one ton of water, it will easily carry three tons and will sit lighter on the water if the bottom is knocked out than it does now. The craft is painted white, with blue center, and is a besuty. When asked about the race with Percy, Flack said it would take place probably about Aug l.

Ninety Thousand Idle.
The Fight Against the Anal gamated Association Begun.
SEVERAL FIRMS SIGN THE SCALE

Manufacturers and Men Both Confident
 of winning-The Former May Demand
 Stm Greater Reduction Very Soon if
 the Men Do Not Yield.
 pITTsBURG, July g. Tho great war be- tween manufacturers and men in the Penn sylvania iron regions has fairly begun. Over ninety thousand men are idle, and as yet no evidence of general weakening on either side has been observed. The men, however, arc exceedingly gratified by the action of tho Apo!l, Iron and Steel company, which agreed 70 pay the scale of prices laid down by their employees, and signed an agree- ment to that effect on Saturday.
 The Akron (O) Iron company, the Mingo Junction (O.) Iron company nnd the Junction Iron company have also signed the mems terms, and there is z ,od ground for the be- lief that the great firm ot Oliver Brothers 6 Phillips, which employs over [, 900 men, will stert up in two weeks and pay the rate of wages requested.
 The action adopted in connection with the affair has given rise here to a good deal of comment unfavorabls to the manufacturers A big banker here told Il reporter that he would give cash guaranty that the moment a big order comes in the manufacturer who gets it will rush for his men right off, and pay them whatever wages thy want-thae is, as soon the repairs are made which are usual at this season,
 Several manufacturers say that an effort will be made to bri"g about satisfactory agreement, as the Pittsburg people do not want to lose their supremacy in the iron market, and th"y arc afraid that if thore is a prolonged struggle ths tra.le ula,- he arpro- priated by eastern manufacturers. who arc even now taking advantage c: low freight rates to ship their goods this way.
 The puddlers say they cannot be got ta work in the heat of July or Au,,;.t fn- ts>n dollars day. They claim that to :,.Nn HI- ways favor shut down during tna \ .3ll t.:, as their work is such that the hcal |, N-s :,,,s too intense for even their iron fran!o' I.o lockout is creating the most intense ,o'o ,c>t, and telegrams ave pouring in from al Q,a~- ters asking for information as to it's pr. b,b.e duration. The latest assertions from the ranks If toe manufacturers is the Lookout Roliiny Mii company, of Chattslnooya. This makes cigur firms that have signe.l tbo scale to date Tin manufacturers, howeve~, are deiermlr cd as ever, and there arc no indications of q serious break.
 MT. McCutcheon, another prominent iror master, said that if the manufacturers scale was not signed very shortly q new one de manding still greater reductions, would be formulated. D. B. Oliver said that tkei, Tenth street mill would partially resume to day, and that other factories would be started as occasion required. Said he:
 ''I don't think our action will influence other manufacturers I anticipate a long fight, as the men are determined to resist the reduction, and the manufacturers are equally determined to reduce the large difference which now exists between amalgamateC 1 prices in Pittsburg and those in the east"
