The builders of the new brewery on
Twenty-first street. between Q and R, are
said to be encroaching almost too much on
the street with their brick and earth, and
they have now nearly two-thirds of il

on the road, both day and night, and an
accident is not unlikely to occur.

EHECUTIvE CLEMENCY.
Two Pardons Granted Yesterday by Go
20

Two Pardons Granted Yesterday by Gov
ernor Waterman.
The Governor has granted a pardon to
Henry NJ. Wickes, convicted of assault with
deadly weapon in Los Angeles county,
December 10, 1888, and sentenced to pay
fine of 5000 or serve six months in jail.
The application for a pardon sets forth
that, while in dispute with one Fisher con-
corning debt of $40. one Arad Howe. a
friend and partner of Fisher without warn
ing seized the petitioner by the throat and
threw him upon the sidewalk, holding him
down IN that position by lying across his
body; that petitioner is and has been for
years past in a weak and sickly condi-
ton, while on the other hand Howe is
large and heavily built, with reputation
of being fighter; that petitioner, through
fear for his life and person, and with no
other motive than to defend himself, drew
his pistol and shot Howe while living on
the sidewalk with Howe on top of him,
and that Immediately upon being released
be gave himself into the custody of the
officers of the law. This statement is veri-
lied by the signatures of both Fisher and
Howe.
The application is accompanied by the
certificates of several physicians, stating
that Wickes is suffering from complied
ton of diseases, and that further imprison-
ment would be dangerous in the extreme.
The petition is signed by w. A. Cheney,
Superior Judge J. r. Dupuy, District At
torney, and by all the jurors
pardon was also granted to Joseph
Ferro, convicted Of petit larceny in Ala
media county in March, 1899, and sentenced
to 80 days imprisonment in the county jail.
The family of the lad are poor and utterly
unable to pay the fine, and in consequence
he is undergoing imprisonment in the
county jail. The prisoner is a child 10
years OF age, and his crime consisted in
taking a small sum of money which was
left in an exposed place, and without doubt
he was unaware of the criminalty of the
act. If allowed to remain in confinement
he will be in constant association with
criminals and the effect of such contaml-
nation upon one so young would be serious
indeed. Under these circumstances, and
with the belief that further Imprisonment
would only defeat the ends of justice, the
pardon is granted.

shorter Work-Day Conference.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, October IA
conference between the head officers Of
the Knights of Labor and American
Federation of Labor began today. The
Federation wants the Knights to join in
general demand for a shorter work
day May 1st. Powderly wants to defer
the matter until after the General Assem-.
bly, next month.
The present condition of the eight.hour
movement received full discussion. The
Knights agreed promptly to advise feder-
alton of action at the General Assembly.
The relations Of the two orders were then
discussed with view to harmonizing in
terests and preventing future disagree
ments. The Knights proposed a mutual
exchange OF working cards, mutual
recognition of trade labels, and
the adoption OF q rule to prevent one body
from organizing suspended or expelled
members of the other federation. it. was
proposed that the Knights discourage
the formation of trade organizations
within the order, the promise being
made that the Federation would urge
members OF unions to connect themselves
with mixed assemblies of the Knights.
It Was agreed that the matters thus re.
ferred to should form the subject of
conference to take place next month.

IT is generally understood that

IT is generally understood that the
suspension of the Second-street Cable
Car Company is bluff to compel the
Council to give Mclaughlin franchise
to run his dummy road from Belmont
avenue to Alvarado street, on Diamond,
a distance of about mile. If this has
been his intention, he will probably be
successful, as the Council showed dis
position yesterday to concede his de-
mands, and notified him to be prepared
with copy OF the franchise requested at
the next meeting of the Council. We
understand that during the temporary
suspension of the Second-street cable
road all the employees of the company
have been retained on salary, fact
which shows pretty conclusively that
the suspension is a game of bluff. Such
are sometimes hazardous
with Richmond in the field like Mr..
corporation, ready to occupy
all possible coigns of cable car vantage.

CHICAGO, October 14.-A Grand Jury
was impaneled, this morning, to hear
further evidence in the Cronin jury bride
case. Bailiffs Hanks and Solomon
Gauger O'Donnel and Tom Kavanaugh
were called in and testified. 1t is under
stood that Kavanaugh and Lawyer
Beggs, one of the men on trial for the
Cronin murder, made full confession.
At any rate this afternoon the Grand
Jury returned indictments against John
Graham, clerk and confidential man for
the noted criminal lawyer A. s. Trude,
for completely in the jury bribery con-
spiracy, and also true bills against the
six men indicted last Saturday. Graham
was arrested last night.
GRAHAM PUT UP THE MONEY.
Graham is the man who put up the
money with which to bride jurors. 1t is

The other occupants of the Office were
surprised to hear of his connection with

The HERALD has been quite conspicu-
GUS in advocating the rights of the Cali
fornia wine and brandy makers as
against the Eastern Whiskey Ring,
which has succeeded in getting control
of the machinery of the Internal Rev
enue Department on this Coast, and
whose clearly defined aim is to destroy
the California product of pure brandy
We have heretofore referred to the
superserviceable efforts Of one B. NJ.
Thomas, assistant special agent
of the Secret Service on the Pa
cific Coast, and who is now engaged in
bedeviling the wine and brandy makers
of Santa Ana and Orange. The latest
exploit of this gentleman has been
directed against Mr.. George Young, who
has winery near Orange. Thomas has
not ventured to seize this establishment,
but he has been nosing around and
making himself good deal of the nui-
sance we described at length in previous
issue of the HERALD, and which Con-
gresham Vandever substantially en-
dorsed in letter which was pub
lished in this journal. An article
descriptive of Thomas's latest exploit,
which appeared in yesterdays Times
concluded with the following morceaux
There is common but erroneous opin.
ion among the wineries OF Southern Cal.
ifornia, that brandy may be distilled and
used in them for fortifying wines, free o.
duty; but Mr.. Thomas wishes it to be
understood that both the past and pres
ent administrations have issued stringent
instructions to the officers of the Secret
Service Department to zee that the full
duty is paid on all spirits distilled. The
insinuation in the HERALD that The of
6cers were instructed to wink at the free
distillation of brandy for fortifying pur
poses, Mr.. Thomas declares to be en-
tirely without foundation, and is liable
to mislead manufacturers. 1t is very
probable that other seizures will be made
before long.
The HERALD has at no time said or in
simulated that the officers of the Interna
Revenue Department were instructed tt
wink at ANYTHING. What it die
say, and what Cong, essmsn Vandevel
confirmed it in saying, was tina
our vignerons are being subjected
to an intolerable espionage in the interes
of the Eastern Whiskey Ring. and tina
such fellows as Thomas ought to bt
called off from their nefarious work o
manufacturing unfounded charges agains
honest men. We are informed that Mr.
Young has paid taxes on all the brandy
made by him, or found in his possession
and the pretence that he is being pursued
to protect honest brandy distillers is en-
tirely too diaphanous for belief in I
section where the expressions of {
partial and unjust administration of thu
Internal Revenue system have been 81
long and too patiently borne.
