100000 Damages.
SAN FRANCISCO, August Mrs
Sarah Mitchell has brought suit against
Frederick w. Sharon for $1,000 fol
slander.
The alleged slander consists in certain
words used in a published interview with
Mr.. Sharon, in which he was quoted as
saying that he considered Mrs. Mitch
ell "a blackmailer pure and simple" for
having tried to obtain money from the
Sharon estate for the Suppression of let
tiers left by the late Charles L. Living
stone which relate to the estate.
When Livingstone, who was formerly
manager of the Palace Hotel and of the
Alta Californian (newspaper), died, he
left TO Mrs. Mitchell box which was
said TO contain letters from Frank r.
Newlands and Justice Stephen ]. Field.
II was reported that Mrs Mitchell de-
manded money from Sharon for the
suppression OF the letters which were
said to contain damaging references to
the Sharon estate. Mr.. Sharon, when
interviewed, used the words already
quoted.
Mrs. Mitchell says that she has never
made an offer of the letters to anyone,
and that she will show the letters to no
one until the right time comes. She
saws there is much In the letters Of pub
lie interest.

Simon Wolf and Lewis Abraham, OF
this city, on behalf of tho union OF
American Hebrew Congregations, have
addressed to the Secretary Of the Treas
ury communication on the subject OF
the immigration of Russian Hebrews to
the United States. In their address
the writer's, while deploring the arrival
in this country OF so many OF
their exiled people, maintain that
she status OF the United States should
not be so interpreted as to class them
as paupers or assistant emigrants.
Secretary Foster replied In substance as
follows: Be assured that fully con-
cur In your estimate Of the magnitude
OF the present calamity which has be-
fallen so many Of your race. Unques-
tionably great and sudden influx OF
expatriated and destitute aliens OF any
race would be grave misfortune to
any country, and American He
brews act both patriotically
and humanely when they advise
Jewish refugees against coming
hither, but at the same time endeavor
to render self-supporting those who
finally come. 1t is important to the
last degree that the volume OF this ex-
pected refugee immigration be not ex-
cessive or threatening, and that with
entire certainty to be promptly and
widely distributed so as to supply real
want in scattered communities and In
terfere as little as possible with exist
ing and normal industrial condition.
shall rely upon your voluntary assur-
ance that you will actively urge upon
your brethren In Europe the atti-
tude OF our laws toward assisted
emigration. l also beg to remind
you that any tendency abroad TO ward
this defect toward this country, the
movement Of destitute refugees, or to
stimulate this migration hither would
be distinctly hostile to the spirit mani
tested in your letter, and TO the spirit
in which the government Of the United
States desire to treat this difficult and
delicate problem.
Thanking you for your expressions OF
confidence that this department, while
executing the immigration laws effi-
cIently, will also execute them
humanely.

other Big Sensation.
-s-s ,r-l-----,- a. 9ts.flaa RAsisE<r -.-., -.
clon that one or more Of the jurors in
the Elliott murder trial were bribed it
seems tonight is likely to be confirmed.
1t has been discovered at least that an
attempt to influence juror in an i'm
proper way was attempted about two
weeks before the case went to the jury.
A woman who keeps boarding house
in Fostoria came to the wife of Juror
Peters and told her that she could make
$500 by getting her husband TO hang
the jury.
Mr.. Peters Indignantly rejected the
proposal whereat the woman said; 'Oh,
there is nothing bad abont it, there are
two or three Of them that are fixed
now"
Mrs. Peters says she told no one of the
attempted bribe until after the verdict
was rendered. Juror Peters is a rail-
way brakeman and lodges at the house
Of the woman who attempted to bribe
him, ann when at FoStoria, the end of
his run. Prosecutor Huling believes
that this cue will lead to the discovery
Of a successful attempt to bribe the
jury.
