lor's attention TO Chemist Evans analysis
of water taken from the stream just below
the mill.
How do you account for the chemist
nndng two very poisonous substances III
that water?" asked the reporter.
Mr.. Taylor did not attempt 60 account for
the poison. but in spite of ;ne analysis kept
on insisting that the water was not poison
Gus.
81 tell you the water is not poisonous"
he lterated and reiterated. I'VE use four
barrels OF lime day. This is put into
tank and agitated then the milk of lime
Is drawn off and used. 1t is only the sedi-
ment from this milk OF lime that finds It's
way into the water. And you know there
IS nothing poisonous in that. Milk Of lime
is used by sick persons as a medicine.
DO you use no acids at the mill?" in
quired the reporter.
''Onee a month we use o carboy of sui
phuric acid or perhaps the same quantity
of muratic acid 10 clean the machinery. but
/ am positive that none Of this acid gets into
the water In sufficient quantities To DO any
damage"
Mr.. TaylOr's attention was called to the
paper-pulp formed on the rocks three miles
below the mill al the 1ocaloma dam.
Impossible, utterly impossible" he said,
"for any pulp to get into the water from
the mill.
Most everything Of fbrous nature Is
paper-pup or may be used as such. but no
paper-puip ever came from our mill into the
stream.
Then as to saying that cattle die from
drinking the WateT-now, liz all the years
we have been there We have never known OF
single Instance of cattle being poisoned"
IHE CALL reporter assured Mr.. Taylor
there were several gentlemen residing near
the mill willing to testify that their pigs
and cattle had been poisoned by drinking
OF tie polluted waters.
i am afraid those persons only told you
so because they have spite against us,
said Mr. Taylor "The fact is, there is no
poison in the stream and therefore cattle
and pigs cannot be poisoned.
Now, as showing the harmless character
OF our mill refuse. let me tell you that one
OF the best places in the creek TO fish is right
back OF the mill"
Had Mr.. Taylor seen the water "right

not have made this statement

But how about hydro-sulphuric acid?
How about hypO-sulphurous acid?
How many grains of either of these do
you suppose 1t would take to kill a strong

Now, how about q fish2
Bah! this style of argument is useless.
You know and everybody knows that no
animal life could exist in a stream of water
polluted by hydTo-su phurlc acid.
Ii don't take a chemist nor a druggist to
tell you that fish Will not and cannot live in

Three samples of water from Paper-mll

These three samples were secured by

In the creek.

pool $50 feet below the mill-where Mr..
Taylor says Fishing is so good"
HE second quart WAS taken about a

The third quart was filled from n point

which is three-quaTters of mile below the
mill.
Chemist Evans allowed the water In the
three bottles to stand nearly a day, so that
all sedimentary matter would settle Then
he examined both the residue and the sedi-
ment.
His report in full reads as follows:
The waters taken from the residue OF
the three bnttles show a large excess of
organic matter. such as woOd-fiber, ietc..
which is IN state Of decomposition.

c. P. HUNTINGTON'S MISTAKE.
He Tries a Smooth Game on the
New Clipper Ships.
By Becoming a Subscriber TO the Guaranty
Fund He Expected to Obtain Control.
He Got Left and Withdrew.

The fact that Coils P. Huntington. the
Southern Pacific Company's president, has
asked his partners in the firm of Hunting
ton, Hopkins & Co. to withdraw from the
list of names pledged to guarantee the new
clipper-ship lines against losses. was no
surprise TO the mercantile community when
1t was published yesterday.
The only fact commented on In connec-
ton with the affair was that huntington is
so imDrudent as TO show his hand in the
matter at all.
The Kentucky corporations president is
not in the habit Of displaying his plans
openly, but 10 this instance he has evidently
acted imIrudently because everybody con-
cerned knows his motives.
When the merchants in this CITY got to-
gether on the instigation Of the Traffic
Association and formed a com binalion
which subscribed enough money to secure
the competing clipper ships against all
losses. Huntington. HOrkins & Co. was
one of the firms which signed the agree
ment.
There were 27 others. and the guaranty
fund is not in the least weakened by the
withdrawal Of any Of the signers.
Money enough has been subscribed 10
make the vessels OF j. w. Grace & CO., j.
Rosenteld's Sons and Balfour, Guthrie &
Co. permanent rivals Of the Southern Pa
cific Company, no matter what happens.
But Mr.. Huntington's Idea was that by
allowing the firm he is connected with to
join the combination he might be able to
control the opposing clipper lines.
he evidently thought that by appearing
friendly he could gradually persuade the
hrms that are running the vessels and are
cheapening freight rates between here and
New York TO carry only heavy class of
goods, such as the Dearborn and Sulter
lines are doing
The latter are the old clipper lines, and
are doing business by consent of and in
partnership with the Southern Pacific Com
pany.
When Mr.. Huntington found that his
little game did not work and thar the rival
ships will ontinue TO compete with the
Southern Pacific Company by carrying all
kinds of merchandise at cheap rates he
realized that there was an opposition which,
very much to his chagrlD, he could not con-
troll.
That Is the reason why he asked his part
ners 10 withdraw from the guaranty fund
Messrs. GalatiD, Miller & Foye consented
TO carry out Mr.. HuntingtOn's request, not
because they considered it just one, but
simply to preserve harmony n the firm.
But all this does not In the least interfere
with the continuation OF the clipper-ship
war.
The Traffic Associations committee that
has charge OF the guaranty fund is adding
new names TO their list every day, and they
are not even little bit worried about Mr.
Hnntington's withdrawal
The rival clipper-ships are a permanent
institution. They have passed the expert
mental stage and will continue 10 worry the
Southern Pacific Company in the future as
much as they will beEefit the merchants of
San Francisco By keeping up their present
low scale of freight rates

ELECTION COMMISSIONERS.
Preparing a List of Over Three
Thousand Officers.
The First Suffer Of the ampaign-Invsst:-
eating Alleged Fraudulent
.RegistTati.ns.

Yesterday the Board of Election Commits
s!onefs met, all the members being present.
The first matter taken up was the selec-
tlon OF $500 taxpayers to act as election
officers. The Registrar Is preparing list
of names to be submitted to the Commits
sioners. Half the list will be ready in a
week.
On Auditor Smiley's motion 1t was agreed
that each Commissioner should. from the
list, recommend names in four districts.
The Auditor took the Thirty second,
Thirty-sixth. Thirty-eighth and Forty-sec
end Assembly districts; Tax Collector
O'Brien took the Fortieth, and the others
will divide up.
Several alleged fraudulent registrations
were then considered. John Olsen regis
tered from II Clay street, but was known
TO have been at sea two months. F. ii.
Holbrook registered from the corner of
Seventeenth and Guerrero streets, where
inquiry showed there was no house. Both
names were stricken from the roll.
Registration was allowed In the case Of
III. NJ. BuckmaD, recently appointed passen-
ger agent Of the Pacific Steamship Com
pany He has been purser of one OF the
company's steamers for "a years and has
never lived ashore, although San Francisco
is his home.
In another case. that Of j. /. Peters,
HuUsb UlllCb IL dt bfD MAT ktk bNIebts UnL LaS
family at Santa Clara, the applicant, who
wrote asking for permission TO register,
was cited to appear In person az the next
meeting.
A letter was received from S. Y. Norton,
notary public Of Rio Vista. asking for blank
forms in order that certain San Franeiscans
VINO were employed al Rio Vista might
vote His request was denied.
The size Of the paper for the ballots was
fixed at 1914 inches wide by Is inches long.
1t will be manufactured specially with the
water mark required by law
1t is expected that there will be repre-
sented on the ballots beside the Republican
and Democratic parties the Reform Democ-
racy aud three. independent tickets By
petition.
Regarding the number Of ballots which
will be required, It was decided 70 refer the
matter to special committee 10 consist of
Smiley, O'Brien and burst. The law re-
quires at least 100 for every 30 voters in
district.
S. w. LiDpman was appointed janitor of
the commission.
The contract for printing the precinct
registers was awarded to the Hicks-Judd
Company, secured by bond fixed at $4,000.
Their bid was 80 cents name, the other
bids being: Commercial Printing Com
pany, 80 cents; Ii. S. Croker Company,
34A cents.
II was agreed that when any name is
stricken from the roll the Registrar shall
notify both the Republican and Democratic
committees.
The board then adjourned until Wednes-
day next.

MURDER OF MARY CARROLL.
Continuancs OF the Examination of ths
Accused Trio,

Accused Trio.
Slowly and surely the coils of evidence
are tightening about 'Dr." Beale- Haven.
the man of many aliases, who is accused OF
having caused the death of Mary Carroll by
malpractice
Ills wife Nellie, and assistant, Lizzie Gra-
nam, who were also charged by the Coro-
ner Jury with murder, are also beginning
TO realize that they are in position moro
serious than that Of witnesses
Attorneys Ferral and Hobbs appeared in
Department of the Police Court Yesterday
morning and asked for a eontnuance of the
preliminary examination of their three
clients on the murder charge until next
Wednesday afternoon.
Judge Love said he would grant the con-
unuaBce, but he questioned the legality of
the proceeding unless the three defendants
were present in court So the accused trio
were sent up from the City Prison into the
dock.
Mrs. Haven and Miss Graham did not take
kindly TO their debut in the prisoners dock
among criminals, but the agony was soon
over They were sent below immediately.
and lost no time in escaping from the gaze
OF spectators.
James Mckenna, the cousin OF the slain
glTl, was booked as witness yesterday. In
ueIault OF bonds in the sum of $1,000 he re-
mains In custody.

with a slight reddish cast It was mslo-
dorous and, as the analysis shows, highly
poisonous.
Mr.. Taylor then had a word to say re-
garding the so-caled shed at the mouth Of
the suice, which THE CALL had stated was
so contrlved that the fish must enter the
slulee instead Of going down the ladder.
That sluice, said he, ''is six feet wide
and eight feet deep. Itis true the fish must
come IN there. but they cannot get beyond
the debris catcher Now. every Sunday
this debris-catcher IS taken out and the fish
permitted to pass down the creek"
To place the debris-catcher at the mouth
OF the sluice, so that fish could not enter tho
sluice. would be an additional expense, Nj
Taylor said.
The debris-catcher gets stopped up con-
stantly, he explained, and man would
have to be sent way up from the mill to
the dam 10 keep it open.
30, from Mr.. Tayl0I's reasoning, because
II would cost more 10 keep the fish out of
his private sluice. the fish on ght 10 be al
lowed 10 come In, CT rather forced In, as
they are, since there is no other way Of
escape.

''During all the time we have been there
only twice have there been any dead fish
found. Both of these occasions occurred
early this season, and 1t Is my opinion that
persons evily disposed put the poison into
the stream and killed the fish TO further
their own selfish aims.
On both those occasions when dead fish
were found the carcasses appeared only in
certain spots. The day before one lot was

the Oceanic on December 2, 1886 returning
TO San francisco on the China on June 26.
1892, and was permitted to land by the Col
lector and has ever since resided in the citv.
Petitioner further alleges that his daugh-
ter is now unlawfully restrained Of her llb.
erty by Frederick j. Masters, superinten-
dent of the Methodist Chinese Mission, and
United States Marshal L0ug. The illegality
Of her detention is averred to be an order
of Commissioner Sawyer directing her de-
portation to China. 1t is claimed by the
petitioner that she did not belong at the
time of her entrance into the United States

visions OF the restriction and exclusion acts,

MIR. TAYLOR TALKS.

He Says the Refus. From the Mills Ia
Not Poisonous.
The S. P. Taylor Paper Company feels
aggrieved at THE CALLS attitude in the
matter of poisoning the waters Of Paper
mill Creek.
Said Edward NJ. Taylor, vice presld ent
and manager of the concern. to a CALL
reporter yesterday:
I'VE have lived and operated a paper-mill
at Taylorville since 1856. and until recently
have never been complained OF as interfer-
ing In any way with the fish of that stream.
1t Is true that we deposit what refuse
