Santa Barbara Case.
Deputy Clerk Ashmore of the supreme
court yesterday received an opinion
from the supreme court in the case of
Francis Underhill, respondent, against
the Santa Barbara Land, Building and
Improvement company and Martha s.
Parker, appellants. This is suit of
considerable Importance bearing on land
interests in Santa Barbara county, the

to have been executed by the company
to Gorham & Co., and assigned to the
plaintiff. Martha Parker was made a
defendant, as she held subsequent
mortgage in the property involed. A
judgment was given for the plaintiff
ordering sale of the mortgaged land,
and thereon the case was taken to the
higher court. The supreme court ac-
cepted the statement of Commissioner
Van Vleet as giving an accurate view of
the case, and decided that under the
judgment and orders appealed the
decision was affirmed.

A CURIOUS INSANE CASE.
An Old Settler at Long Beach and
His Queer Fancies.

An Old Settler at Long Beach an(
His Queer Fancies.
Judge Smith of the superior court yes
terday had rather curious insanity
case before him. 1t was that of E.
Rosencranz of Long Beach. Mr.. Rosen.
cranz is an old settler at that place, and
while he has been regarded as somewhat
eccentric, he has had hosts of friends
who have liked him for his many good
qualities. Rosencranz was examined in
the court room yesterday afternoon by
Doctors Hogan and Cochran, and the ex-
animation was protracted and comical
in its character.
Mr.. Briggs, an old friend of Rosen-
cranz, testified that of late his friend had
been acting in an eccentric manner. He
had been digging on his premises and
fancied that he had discovered a gold
mine. He was also spiritualist, and
had told the witness that his veins were
full OF microbes and that he could occa-
sionally see microbe popping its head
out on his hand. Mr.. Craig, a son-in-
law OF Rosencranz, next told of seeing
him engaged in pounding and crumbling
up sand and putting quicksilver with it !;
iiC boAu Hiui thdb tuo nduO COuGdlueu
gold. He also claimed to be able to at
tract the particles of gold by personal
magnetism.
Rosencranz, who was sitting at
one side of the table, had nothing to say
during the examination of witness.
Rosencranz is gray-haired old man,
and when Doctor Cochran asked him
what he had to say on the subject he
turned to the judge and said:
"a good deal of what has been said is
true, but [ am not insane. I am go
years old, and, when IL years old, was
kicked by a horse in the head and at
times have suffered pain in the region
of the wound. 1t is also true that am
a spiritualist, but have been one for
forty years, and there has been no
change of late in my mind on that ac-
count. My son-in-law and myself have
had several discussions on this subject,
and he has frequently hurt my feelings.
/ have no desire to harm anyone, and
have never manifested any intention of
that kind. | made an arrangement with
my son-in-law by which he was to own
one-third of my land, provided that he
would support me. Ny mind is per-
fectly well balanced, and if l have
spoken of microbes have done so hon
estly. l believe that much os the ca
tarrh from which people suffer is caused
by microbes in the air. 1t is also true
that have found gold on my property
at Long Beach, and have the testimony
of an expert of Los Angeles to prove the
truth of my statement. Whether the
gold is to be found in paying quantities
is yet to be seen. am waiting to hear
what the expert has to say on that
point"
Other witnesses were heard, and it
was finally decided that the accused be
discharged.

Impressions He Received During His
Travels.
Frank Conant, the business manager
of the Los Angeles theater, who has
been touring all over America with the
Little Lord Fauntleroy company, and
with J. G. Lewis 81 Plunkard company,
has but recently returned from his null
tiversant peregrinations and is loaded
up with facts and enthusiasm as to the
greatness of America from a scenic and
ciologico-economic standpoint.
Talking with HERALD reporter in
the business Office of the Los Angeles
theater yesterday, Frank said: 81 have
been from Oregon to Florida, and Cali
fornia to Maine in my wanderings, and
have come to the conclusion that there
are only three desirable cities on the
continent to live in, viz: New York,
San Francisco, and Los Angeles; and
give the palm-the sage palm-to Los
Angeles. In recalling my itinerary, I
wish first to make comparison between
the Hudson and Columbia rivers. l be-
lieve they are the two most beautiful
streams in the world. Washington Irv-
ing has pictured the beauties of the
Hudson, and come day mayhap we will
have genius in the west who will tell
of The Dalles on the classic Columbia.

The Special Fast Mail Service of the
Country to Be Discontinued.
CHICAGO, Feb. 8.-A New York special
says: The fast mail service of the
country is doomed to be discontinued
June 80, unless the postofice depart
ment in the meantime can obtain
cheaper railroad rates. Notices have
been sent out by Second Assistant Post
master General Bell to all the trans
portation lines that are now receiv-
ing Especial facility pay for

after June Both all special facility pay
will be withdrawn, and adding that the
appropriation for this purpose has not
been recommended to congress in the
annual report of the department. This
means that five months hence the coun-
try will take a decided step backward
in its mail facilities, and will have to be
content with such mail accommodations
as were enjoyed ten years ago.

FREE SILVER ARGUMENT
MR.. F. G. NEwLANDS BEFORE THE
HOUSE COINAGE COMMITTEE.
He Opposes the Proposition of Holding an
International Monetary Conference.
The United States Should Act Inde-
pendently in Money Matters.

WASHINGTON, Feb. s. - Francis G.
Newlands today addressed the house
committee on coinage, weights and
measures, on the international none
tary conference phase OF the silver
question, opposing the proposition. He
reviewed the history of the silver ques-
ton and went on to show why the
United States should adopt free silver
coinage now, and why nothing could be
expected of Europe. He said all per-
SONS realized this was an age of "com-
bines' and "trusts." The gold nations
were creditor nations; those ma
tions showed little development,
and hence their accumulations
were invested in the development
of other countries. AS owners of money
it was to their interest to make money
valuable. The only way to do this was
by limiting its quantity. The easiest
way to do SO was by forming gold trust
to prevent future silver coinage, and to
destroy the legal tender quality of ex-
listing silver money. Gold was being
diminished every year by the demands
of art and dentistry. The annual pro-
duct of silver was increasing slightly.
The creditor nations, therefore, secured a
great advantage by demonetizing silver,
and thus increasing the burden of the
obligations to them. We are wealthy
nation in everything except money.
England's wealth principally is money.
We utilize all the money we can borrow,
and owe to Europe in national, state
and municipal ways more than the en-
tire volume of money existing in this
country. Whenever anything occurs in
Europe which tightens their money
market, they call upon us to buy our
obligations, and we are obliged to absorb
them; for unless those obligations are
sustained there will be a general de-
struction of values.

DIR. Won TROTHA.
HOW HE DECEIVED HIS GERMAN
FRIENDS.
He Posed as Wealthy Man From Iowa.
He Showed Bogus kilograms on Which
He Borrowed Money-When Arrested
He Was Taken Very Ill.

"Suppose a man sends cablegram
from Germany to Los Angeles, would
the cablegram be delivered in this city
be written in German or English ?" was
the question propounded to Chief Glass
few weeks since. The chief assured
his visitor, who was German, that it
would be written in English. The man
who wanted the information went away
satisfied, and nothing more was thought
about the circumstance until Saturday,
when Mr.. Engel, of the Strasbourg ho-
tel, related the story about the career of
an adventurer who has worked the
German residents of this city in very
clever manner.
The man referred to goes under the
name of DR.. Won Trotha, and he had not
been here many days before it was
noised about that he was immensely
wealthy and owned very extensive
stock farm in Iowa. Mr.. Engel
invited the distinguished visitor
to his house and nothing was too good
for his guest. The doctor had scores of
kilograms, which he showed his new
acquaintances at every opportunity.
One read: 81 send you today 5000 to
First National Bank. Have been offered
$4,000 for Ceres and $4,000 for another
horse. Shall l sell?'
The next one was written in German
and notified him of the death of
wealthy uncle, stating that the bulk of
the fortune had been left to the doctor.
One had only to read the kilograms to
find out that the new conner was a man
OF immense wealth-a second Monte
Cristo.
At all events the doctor succeeded in
making a harvest of temporary loans"
for several weeks on the strength of
these kilograms. He overdid the bust
ness and as a result was arrested. He
admitted that the kilograms, many of
which were found on his person, were
bogus and were written by himself.
A German came in from the country
yesterday and was highly indignant
when he learned that DIR. Won Trotha
was an adventurer. The doctor had in
structed him to purchase ranch large
enough for 300 horses which he intended
to bring here from Iowa. There are
doubtless numerous other victims who
will be heard from in the course of a
few days.
The police have clear case against
the doctor, as when arrested he had on
a stovepipe which he had stolen from
the Engel residence. However, as soon
as all the evidence was forthcoming the
doctor was suddenly taken very sick and
began to spit blood, so he had to be re-
moved to the county hospital, but as
soon as he recoyers he will have to face
the music.
