opportunity to find Damon, but was
again called yesterday.
Judge Cravens said he had reason to
believe that the defendant had induced
Damon to leave the city 'sYou made a
statement" said the court, addressing
Brooks, indicating that you knew the
witness was not to be here, and offering
an explanation as to why he was not
present. The ease has been continued
for nearly a month, and during this time
the attachment has been in the hands of
the officers, but they have not been able
to find the prosecuting witness. I have
concluded that a contempt has been COM
mitted by you, and it is your place to
show cause why you should not be fined
for the offense.'
Brooks was apparently somewhat
taken aback by the remarks of Judge
CravenS, but he offered to explain the
affair. He said that after the attachment
had been issued for Damon's arrest the
latter came to him and said he was sorry
for what he had done, and did not want
to appear to testify. Brooks says he told
him then that an attachment had been
issued for his arrest, and that he had bet
ter look out or he would be "cinched."
Damon left, after being refused nights
lodging, and Brooks saw him no more.
Frank Estabrook swore that he met
Brooks on Second and streets after the
attachment had been issued. and the lat
ter then remarked that he had settled the
matter with Damon, and that he would
not appear in the case.
Judge Cravens said he would give his
decision to-day.

Introduction of New Ticket System
on the Southern Pacific Lines.
Commencing on last Monday, the
Southern Pacific Company began to
sell what are known as 3,OOO-mile tick
cts, which will prove to be great conven-
fence to travellers, as well as a great saw
ing. The ticket is in the form of a book
about two inches wide and five inches
| long. 1t consists of cover and mile
age strip. On the strip are q series of
| lines, each representing mile, and num-
bered from l TO 5000. For convenience.
each fifth line and fifth number is in
heavy print.
For instance, passenger in possession
of one of these tickets boards train i'm
this city with the intention of going to
Colfax. When the conductor comes
along the passenger hands him the book
and states that he desires to get off at Col
fax. The conductor knows that the dis
tance between Sacramento and ColfaX is
% miles, and he tears that many lines Oft
the strip, and gives the passenger a check.
Before the detachment is made, however.
the passenger signs his name on the strip
about TO be torn Off,
The ticket is good only for the person
III whose favor it is issued, and if pre-
Sented by any other person, or if altered
will be taken up. The holder is entitled
to free transportation for $50 pounds of
baggage, but all in excess of that rate
must be collected for at the rate of one
third of a cent per mile per 100 pounds.
The cost of the ticket is SIS, and in pur-
chasing it the applicant is required to fill
out blank giving his personal descrip-
ton. The ticket entities the holder to
travel tirst-class on all the main lines and
branches of the Southern Pacific Compa-
ny west of Ogden and FL Paso, and south
Of Portland. He is given certain time
in which to use up the strip in travelling.

Eight to Ten A. NJ.

1t looked very much yesterday as if the
San Francisco Presidential Committee
had determined to snub Sacramento.
After consenting to allow President
Harrison only few hours here in tie
early morning, they have discovered that
they do not know what to do with him
on Sunday.
Yesterday Mayor Comstock received a
telegram asking if Sacramento could
entertain the President on Sunday. Just
as the Mayor received the message a
RECORD UNION reporter happened along,
and asked him how such a thing was pos
sible.

'All the President could do would be to
sit in his car and receive visitors"
YES, and gaze out upon China Slough
and the rear works of Chinatown" adj
ded the reporter.

those folks down there do not intend to
give our citizens an opportunity to enter

must go and consult some of our local
committee about the Sunday business.

Yesterday morning kilograms were sent
to Newton Booth and Congressman Nor
row and McKenna to consult with the
San Francisco committee again and see
what conditions could be made that

good portion of one day in the Capital
City.
The meeting of the local committee that
was to have been held last evening was
postponed until tonight, to await the re-
San Francisco committee.
There was to have been special meet

or not.the President will be here
TWENTY MINUTES FOR BREAKFAsT.n
The following special dispatch to the
RECORD UNION was received late last
night from Mr.. Wells Drury, one of the
Sacramento committeeman now in San
Francisco. 1t speaks for itself:
The local committee of San Francisco
tonight received q telegram from Presi-
dent Harrison's private secretary, saying
that he could give Sacramento only two
hours, from 8 TO 10 o'clock A. NJ. of Satur-
day, May I'd.
Ex-Governor Booth expressed him
self as much disappointed tonight. He
had hoped for obtaining at least four
hours, from Q \. NJ. to l p. NJ

wrestlo with the President on behalf of
Sacramento, and great expectations are
resting on his exertions in this regard"

NEW PUBLICATIONS

Progressive Cookery'' is the title of a
new cookery book by Mrs. E. M. Hinck-
ley of San Francisco, who is teacher OF
cookery classes. She is presenting the
book in this city. The copy before us
bears the evidence of the work of a
skilled person. The author assures her
readers that all the receipts and formulas
in the little volume have not only been
tried in the cooking classes she has in
structed, but in the home as well. Her
directions are simple, plain and under
standable. So many cookbook writer's
presume so much upon the previ-
Gus knowledge of those who use the
books, that very often the recipes
are blind or at least obscure. The
volume of Mrs. Hinckley we should
judge to be very useful one and the re-
ceipes presented to Ice practical.

HIS LATEST SCRAPE.
Nantine Intimates His Willingness to
Admit Petit Larceny.

Vantine Intimates His Willingness to
Admit Petit Larceny.
City Attorney Hart moved for a dis
missal of the charge Of grand larceny
against Butch Vantine yesterday in
the Police Court, and asked leave to sub
stitute one of petit larceny. Vantine
agreed to plead guilty, but the City Attor-
ney, after thinking the matter over. asked
that the order dismissing the original
charge be set aside until to-day, so tnat
the prosecuting witness might be present.
in case Vantine concluded To change mis-
plea of guilty to that of not guilty. 1t
was so ordered.
1t will be remembered that a man
named Littlelield on Sunday night
charged that Vantine deliberately robbed
him by running his hand into his Little
fields pocket and taking some money
theretrom. If this can be proven, it looks
like something more than petit larceny.
At all events, Littlefield should be made
TO testify TO what actually did occur. If
he was robbed in the manner in which he
says he was, the fact should be made
known to the court. If he was not
robbed, wherein was Vantine guilty of
any OtfenSe?

n Relic of the Gardner Case Crops Up
In the Police Court.
The David Rich perjury case was called
in the Police Court yesterday morning,
and City Attorney Hart stated that. al
though he was not prepared to go on with
the examination, he would like to have
the testimony of Mr.. Coleman taken, so
as to convenience the gentleman, who re-
sided in the country.
"pn waive examination" said Rich
But Judge CravenS informed him that he
could not do SO legally, and ordered that
the testimony of Coleman be taken.
George Coleman swore that on the day
of the Gardner trial in the Superior Court
he met Rich three times-twice before the
latter gave his testimony, and once after
ward. The first statement Rich made
was that he was to be called as witness
for the defense, and he proposed to swear
that little Lizzie Cox had made an indie
cent proposal to him. He claimed that
Gardner had money, and that he was go
ing TO get some of il, because his testimo-
ny was the only evidence that would
clear the defendant.
Coleman also swore that he met Rich
after the latter had testified. Rich stated
that he had sworn just as he said he was
going to, although he did not know one
thing improper against the little girls
character, nor anything that would tend
70 degrade her.
The further hearing of the case was
postponed until Thursday.

Attomey-General Hart and Secretary

Every four years, soon after the change

which is then sealed with the stamp of the

to at the police station charging them
with conceaIing money to defraud credit
ors, and Constable Swift went out to
Brighton and caught them early yester-

a buggy, and had slept under the depot
platform during the night.
1t is quite likely, however, that nothing
Will come of the case. The complaining
witness was supplying the prisoners with
dainties at the Police-stationl last evening,
and also diligently endeavoring to find
