SCHILLER BACKED OUT
Claimed that He Wanted to Fix the Purse
with Wood. His Opponent

The wrestling match billed for the En-.
pire last night between Scheller, of this
city. and Wood, of Cleveland. was de-
clared of at the last minute on account OF
the nonappearance of Scheller. There was
considerable mystery and great deal of
talking about this. Wood claimed that he
had received communication from Schel.
Ter in the nature of ultimstum, which
was to the effect that Woods was to permit
Scheller TO throw him the first two bouts in
fifteen and twenty minutes. respectively
Scheller taking IS per cent. and Wood IS
per cent. of the purse. WOODS refused TO
enter into any agreement with him, and
says that he told Scheller the match must
be straight and the best man win. After
this word was sent to Scheller IL is SAID
that he refused to engage In the match.
1t 10 certain that he was seen
about the theater shortly before
the conclusion of the performance.
Manager Fenpessy announced from the
stage that on account of the nonsppear.
ance of Scheller. those who wished could
have their money refunded by applying at
the box-oftce. but that the purse offered
for the ScbelleT-W ood match would be
given 10 the winner in a match between
Wood and Riley. of Chicago. The most of
the house stayed. Wood was the heavier
man and secured fall In few minutes
which was "a fTst allowed, but afterwards
declared oft on account of vigorous pro-
test from the audience because 10 was OH
the mat. Wood agreed TO let the fall 60
and the referee was changed. Wood then
got two falls In 1920 and minutes, re-
sDectively.
schejler claimed that his refusal TO meet
Wood in straight wrestle was based on
an agreement with the Heuck Opera Honte
Company. Manager Fennessy empbatio-
ally denied that there was any such agree
ment. The purse of $3.50 was turned over
10 Wood ty the stakeholder.
Wood said he was acquainted with Riley
and that this was not his right name.
Schellrr says that Riley aud Wood are
brothers.

THE FORESTRY COMMITTEE
Hear Colonel Irish and Mr.. Kiddcl

Hear Colonel Irish and Mr.. Kidder
Tell of the Yosemite.
The Senate Committee on The Yosemite
Valley and Mariposa Grove of Big Trees
met last night A committee of the Yo-
semitic Valley Commission, consisting of
Colonel John z. Irish and j. f. Kidder,
was present on invitation, and estimated
the amount necessary to contine the Mer-
ced River within its banks and to clear
the floor of the valley OF underbrush at
100000.
The estimate for the purpose of preserv-
ing and beautiiying the Mariposa Grove
of Big Trees was placed by the Commits
sioners at $1,000.
The appropriation for the valley and
big trees, will, if made, be taken from
the General Appropriation Fund. Both
Col. Irish and Mr.. Kidder attempted to
impress upon the minds of the committee
the necessity of present action, declaring
that both the valley and grove were in
need Of immediate attention.
"One word in conclusion, gentlemen"
said Col. Irish as the committee rose,
IF any of the members of this committee
ever get chance to visit the Yosemite
Valley, for Gods sake do so, for it will
be well worth your while"
The committee Will not, it is under
stood, make report of its Investigations
for sometime yet.

MANY CLAIMS CONSIDERED.
THE SPRINGER CLAIM REPORTED
BACK FAVORABLY.
L. w. Melvin's Claim Cut Down from
$4,000 to $1,000 and Receives a
Favorable Endorsement.

The Joint Committee on Claims held an
interesting meeting last night, and several
bills were passed upon.
Senate Bill No. 469, commonly known
as the Springer bill, which had been re-
referred to the committee by the Commit
tee on Ways and Means, was reported
back with recommendation that it do
pass.
The claim is for $500, and was put in
by the widow of ex-State Printer Thomas
a. Springer for deficiency owed him by
the State at the time of his death.
The subcommittee appointed to in
vestigate the claims of those persons in
jured by the fall of stand at Agricultural
Park in 1891 reported back the claim of
E. w. Melvin with the recommendation
that he be allowed the sum of s., 600. The
report would have been made at pre-
vious meeting, but Mr.. Melvin was
known to have ridden bicycle since the
accident, and The committee wished to
ascertain if the action on his part was
voluntary. 1t was discovered that the
exercise had been recommended by the
physician in attendance and had proved
inadequate to effect 4 cure.
The committee considered the claim a
Just one and returned it with q recon-
incubation that it do pass.
Colonel Boruck appeared before the
committee to explain his claim of $500
1t was for advertising, he said, in the
| California SPIRIT Of tie Times and had
been done in Governor Waterman's adj
miniStration, during which the Times
published an election proclamation by
the Governor and with his permission.
At the last Legislature both the Senate
and Assembly committees reported the
bill back favorable to passage, but it died
on file. The committee reported the bill
back favorable to passage.
Senate Bill No. 30 which is claim OF
Sl3,645, was passed on file. The claim
originated during the famous case of the
State VS.. the American Sugar Refinery
at San Francisco and was intended 10 re-
munerate Attorney Pat Reddy. who was
appointed receiver of the refinery by
Judge Wallace.
Senator McAllister was before the COM
mittee to present the claim of Marin
County for s., 797. The claim is for Coro-
ner's fees and District Attorneys fees, for
deaths, at which the tirst-named Officials
services were required, and for crimes,
which demanded the services OF tine
latter, all of which have occurred inside
the walls of San Quentin Prison. The
bill would have been reported back
favorable to passage had not number OF
them been very ancient, one having run
since 1851. Senator McAllister could not
state whether any of the claims presented
had ever been allowed before. and the
matter was deferred until tonight, dur
ing which time the books of the State
Controller will be examined, and if ii is
ascertained that the claims are just, it is
expected the committee will report the
bill back favorable TO passage.

dressed the committee briefly in favor OF
the amendment. He shipped consider
able grain and other articles, he said, and
thought the California rates were higher
than those in the East. The gentleman
read some figures that he had compiled,
and it was evident from the beginning
that he had gone Off wrong" He event
to pieces" as the saying goes, when
Messrs. Gage, Curtis and other Southern
Pacific officials asked him some plain
questions, and his condition grew worse
when Chairman Earl asked for some in
formation. The venerable gentleman
was IN bad middle, and admitted it
finally.
1t turned out that he had no particular
grievance against anybody. All he
wanted was reduction of freight rates
on those branches of road over which he
does his shipping. He admitted that
heavy reductions had been made below
the Eastern rate in instances, but as
these did not happen on the branches be
was patronizing he "had a kick coming"
This closed the hearing and the COM
mittee adjourned. An executive session
will probably be held to-day for the pur-
pose OF agreeing upon report.

THE REA CHARGES.
ASSEMBLYMAN JOHNSON OPENS
UP HIS DEFENSE.
Brownie Says it Was He Who Marked
the Card-They Were
For White.

The Assembly special committee re-
sumed the investigation last evening of
the charges preferred against Assembly
man Johnson by Railroad Commissioner
Rea, to the effect that the former had
offered his vote for sale. Before the pro-
ceedings began, the committeeman, stem
ographer Bing Brier and attorney Nc
Pike for the defense, had wrangle re-
garding the transcript of testimony here
tofore taken. 1t appears that in order to
hurry the testimony into the hands of the
State Printer, Mr.. McPike assisted the
stenographer by carrying the transcript
to the printing Office. The committee
men eXonerated Messrs. Brier and Nc
Pike from any blame except that the
transcript should only have been handled
by the Clerk of the committee. Mr..
Brier said he was perfectly willing to de-
liver the testimony to the Clerk, provided
the latter would come and get 1t, but he
did not propose to run after the Clerk.
Commissioner Rea was called to the
witness stand and asked by the commit
teemen regarding his relations with j. ID.
Mckenzie. He said he and Mckenzie
were good friends and the latter often did
tavors for him. Mckenzie was not his
DClNdl6 s6CttldIyy nONSN6E. i lS WlLnGSS
assisted him in securing the appointment
of Revenue Gauger, but did not consider
that he alone got the place for him. Nc
KenZle had many other influential
friends, particularly Senator FELTON,.
In answer TO questions asked by Nc
Pike, Mr.. Rea said he never knew Harry
Connors to speak to him until after he
came to Sacramento. He was also ac-
quainted with Prinole, the man who en-
ployed Connors. He had heard of Con-
nors before he met him. Mckenzie had
spoken of him. Assemblyman Johnson
called at the witness Office the day after
Editor Darlington had spoken to him.
Mr. Rea was asked a few more unim-
portant questions and was then excused.
The defense then opened up with the
''bombshelr' they had been promising.
Assemblyman Brownie was called. and
after being sworn said he hailed from San
Francisco-from the Thirty-sixth Dis
trict. He knew Assemblyman Johnson.
having met him between the lst and 10Th
of December last. That was the first
time he Rad ever met him. The witness
went to San jose to see Johnson, and they
talked about the prospects for the Ser
geant-at-ArmS and for United States
Senator. The witness delivered a marked
card TO Johnson. The names he marked
were five Assemblymen Including john
sons whom he thought were solid for
Stove White.''
McPike handed Brownie the fatal card
and the San Franciscan said he thought
it was the one he marked-the same
names were checked, anyhow.
Were there any other marks on that
card when you gave it to Johnson ?''
asked one of the committeeman.
"Oh, yes: there We're several marks,
but told him he could scratch them of. };
said Brownie. 81 asked him if he had a
list, but he only had written one, SO /
gave him the card"
