YUNG'S WINERY RELEASED.
The Revenue Officers Caught of
Their Base.

The Revenue Officers Caught Off
Their Base.
Yung's winery, which was seized some
time since on trumped up charge that
the proprietor had been illegally dis
tilling liquors, has been released and
will be run as usual. 1t is now in order
for George Yung to enter suit for dam
ages against the meddlesome agent who
entered information against him and
caused him 30 much trouble. At the
time the seizure was made the Free
Press was satisfied from what it knew of
the man Thomas who was concerned in
the seizure, that it was unjust and with
out precedent, and events have proved
that this paper was correct in the
premises. Had it not been 80 Yup9
would have been held for trial and
probably be given a sentence similar to
that given to w. More Young, of Fresno.
Government officers have no right to
interfere with mans business as long
as he is not violating the law, and it il
not right for mans business to be stop
ped and his place shut up merely on q
suspicion.
The above, heading and all. is from
the Santa Ana Free Press. At the time
of the seizure the HERALD was put in
possession of facts which led this journal
to take issue with the agent in bis
action. Some feeling was developed at
the time with regard to what the HERALD
had to say. It said what it did becauee
it had information that led it to believe
wrong was being done. The event
proves the HERALD's information was
dead right.

like this either, no this morning
the action was reconsidered, and
after some discussion the name of "Non-
Partisan Woman's Christian Temperance
Union' was decided upon, despite the
objection OF the minority, who thought
the name too long, and besides, wanted
something entirely distinctive from the
old organization.
The election of officers Was then pro.
ceeded with, with the following result

RECIPROCITY WITH CANADA.
The Ways and Means Committee
Hears Argument.

ANk u CnGs
WASHINGTON, January PAS. J..
Ritchie, of Ohio, appeared before the
Ways and Means Committee and argued
in favor of the free importation of
Canadian mineral ores, and in favor Of
unrestricted reciprocity with the
Dominion. The Chairman having ascer-
tanned that Mr.. Richie was conversant
with Canadian matters, inquired what
the sentiment was in Canada in regard
to annexation. Mr.. Richie replied that
any sentiment could be found in Canada
which anybody wished to fish for.
There was considerable sentiment
in favor of reciprocity, and by
taking the proper course the United
States could increase that sentiment.
Mr.. Payne asked as to the feeling
towards the Butterworth reciprocity bill
Mr.. Ritchie replied that the opposition
in the Canadian Parliament, numbering
about one-third of it's membership, had
adopted the Bntterworth bill as it's plat
form. In reply to question by Mr.
Carlisle, Mr.. Ritchie stated that Ameri'
can interests in Canada were very large
Mr.. Carlisle asked whether Canada
would give the United States free coal il
the United States gave her free iron.
Mr.. Richie replied emphatically in the
affirmative. Hon. Benjamin Butter
worth, of Ohio, then addressed the com.
mittee in support of his bill for reciprocity
with Canada.

SAN FRANCISCO, January PAL. l.
Bromwell, President Of the California
Insurance Union, was shot and seriously
if not mortally, wounded by g. @. Pratt
General Agent of the came company
shortly before IL o'clock this forenoon
The shooting occurred in the Office of the
company at s1S California street. Three
shots were fred by Pratt, who waf
seated near Bromwell, all of which took
effect, one striking him in the body just
below the heart. The shooting created
intense excitement on the street. Pratt
was immediately arrested and taken to
the city prison. He refused to make
any statement until he had consulted his
lawyers. Bromwell was carried into bis
rear office, where he was attended to by
surgeons.
Pratt had a consultation with his at
torneys at the city prison shortly before
noon, and according to the statement
made by his lawyers, the tragedy is the
result of Bromwell's alleged conduct
toward the wife of Pratt. Pratt recently
returned from Japan, and upon arriving
in San Francisco found that his wife had
lost her mind and was in charge of her
friends. Pratt contends that be discov-
cred conclusive facts showing Bromwell
had betrayed the formers wife. Both
Pratt and Bromwell are men prominent
in business and social life.
Three shots struck Bromwell-one in
the arm, one in the neck and one in the
body. His wounds are not as serious as
at first supposed, and he has been taken
to his home in Oakland. 1t is believed
be will recover.
Pratt and Bromwell had been in the
private Office of the latter for more than
an hour before Pratt drew revolver and
fired. The only witness of the shooting
was one of the Office force named Johns,
who refused to give any of the details.
Pratt was released this afternoon on
$4,000 bail.
