Tho AlsssandrO Irrigation District De-
faults ora Interest.
RfvERslDE. April 8.-A representative
OF the English stockholders OF the Bear
Valley Irrigation company made a
formal demand for the interest due
the company from the Aleasandro irri-
CATION district, this county. last satur-
day, but without success. The district
is in debt to the company $4,000 on in
terest account. The people of the die
trict are united on the proposition that
the company should not receive any in
terest payments until it has complied
with the terms OF the contract under
which the company secured the bonds
of the district. The residents OF the
district stand ready to pay interest on
coupons, whenever the company goes
ahead and places water upon the lands
as per agreement, and not until then.
AS the matter stands, ii the company
secures the payment OF interest, 1t will
be at the end Of an expensive law suit.
The sympathy of this section is strongly
in favor of the people of the Alessandro
district The unsettled condition of the
financial affairs of the district, however,
has tendency to retard the progress of
what is otherwise one of the fnest irri-
CATION districts in the state.

A Political Tlrade Against Senators

lists of the wilson Tariff
Biz.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, April 8.-The most
Sensational politieel address Of the year
is that issued by the Minnesota Demo-
cratic association to the rank AMI file OF
the party in Minnesota. After depre-
eating the fact that the free list in the
Wilson bill is not so large as demanded
by the Chicago platform OF 1892. it says :
"Who are the men-Dsmocrats in
name. protectionists in fact-who have
thus brought dishonor and shame upon
our great party2
"Who are they who betrayed the
great loyal host? Who gave them the
power thus to deliver us into the hands
of the enemy?
"Wbo are these men who have inter
posed insuperable obstacles and op posi-
tion, and made failure due to our
fault and neglect?
These are the men--the names to be
set alongside of Benedict Arnold in the
annals of our country: Senator Calvin
8. Brice of Ohio, David B. Hill and Ed.
ward Murphy, jr., of New York, John
b. MCPHERSON and James Smith, ir., of
New Jersey, Arthur P. German and
Charles s. Gibson of Maryland.
John N. Camden of West Virginia,
Donelson Caffrey and Edward b. White
of Louisiana, John j. Morgan and
James L. Pugh of Alabama. These are
men who wear the mask of Democrats
that they may the better betray our
cause. 1t ia they who have wrought
this marvellous change, putting our
party in the attitude of defeat and Civ
ing to our opponents that of victory. A
few traitors in the councils cannot de-
feat the cause for which we have fought
for years and for which we won the
victory of 1922

FRESNO. April 8.-The jury in the
Heath case is still out, and present in
dications are that no verd let will be
reached. The principal matter of inter
est now is, how many votes will be each
way. Not one word has been learned
from the jury room, but the fact that no
agreement has been reached after 80
hours of deliberaton is taken as evil
dence that none will be reached. Heath
is much more cheerful this evening than
he was when the case was gwen to the
jury, and feels that hung jury is prac-
tically the end of the case, as it will
never be tried again. The jury will be
called ia court by Judge Shaw tomor-
row morning, and if no verdict has been
reached they will probably be dis
charged. Many persons have remained
about the court house nearly constantly
since the jury wac locked up, waiting
for some return.

Salter ID. Worden. tie condemned muir
derer, who is awaiting execution in the
State prison at Folsom for the murder of
Engineer Clark. had made complete con-.
fession TO Warden AuIl.
This afternoon Bee reporter communi-
caled with Warden Aull By telephone. He
said that Worden had made several efforts
to have talk with him since he arrived
at Folsom. agreeing to "tell the whole
story" but Captain Aull has preferred to
let the lawyers attend to the entire matter.
Worden has had a couple of private
interviews with his attorneys, and has also
requested to see Judge j. W. Armstrong
the leading attorney for the prosecution {:
but the Judge has not as yet gone to Fol-
som.
The warden is of the opinion that the
murderer has told all he knows about the
terrible crime, all of the details leading up
to the trestle tragedy on July II.
1t is understood that Carroll Cook, one
Of the attorneys for the prosecution, does
not take much stock in any statement
which Worden might make. While At
torney Cook might believe the prisoners
story himself. he is doubtful about what
construction a jury might put upon it if it
were used in any Of the remaining murder
trials.

BLAND HAS A SCHEME
Currency Based on Both Gold
and Silver.
But He Will Hold 1t Back Pending
the Presentation of the Re-
publican View.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Representative
Bland of Missouri will move 10 strike out
all after the enacting clause in the Car
Isle currency bill now before the House
of Representatives and substitute meas
ure he has prepared for currency system
based on coin and coiu notes. Mr.. BANDS
plan does not interfere with the existing
national bank system. but instead of al
lowing banks to issue notes as the Car
Isle plan proposes, MIR. Bland propos SEES
that the Government issue the notes call
ing them coin notes. These are to be re-
deemed in gold and silver coin and the
Government is to coin both metals.
The Bland measure would have been
offered as a substitute for the pending
bill, but as Mr.. Walker of Massachusetts
has given notice of substitute embodying
the Republican view of the subject, Mr..
BANDS plan will be offered in connection
with motion to strike out all after the
above clause.
The Bland bill provides for the free
coinage Of silver. and for the deposit of
gold and silver bullion, and the issuance
Of legal tender notes upon 1t. The bullion
is to be subsequently, coined. and the coin
notes are to be redeemed in gold and silver
without discrimination as may be most
advantageous to the Government. Pro-
vision is also made for issuing coin notes
on standard silver coin. All the outstand-
ing gold and silver certificates are to be
retired and coin notes are to be substi-
tuted therefor. Provision is also made for
the redemption of outstanding greenbaeks
and treasury notes in gold or silver coin,
without discrimination. An emergency
fund is created 80 that in case of panic or
money stringency the Secretary of the
Treasury may, on deposit of United States
interest-b bearing bonds. issue to depositors
of the bonds coin notes. Interest On such
bonds is to 60 TO the Government while
they are on deposit, and should they ma
ture while on deposit they are to be can
ceed.

action on the bill while it was before the
committee the six Republican members
say they are OF the opinion tits not safe
for the House TO enter upon the line of
legislation proposed until some bill is
brought before il that has received far
N ore attention than the Carlisle bill, and
recommend that it be definitely postponed.

THE TRIAL OF APPLEMAN.
Testimony Tending to Connect Him
With the TrestIe Wreck.

WOODLAND. Der. 16.-General Hart was
present to-day for the first time since the
trial of Appleman began. and assisted in
the defense. Most of the witnesses ex-
amined to-day testified in the previou US
trials. and nothing particularly startling
was developed. The prosecution promises
to put new witnesses on the stand to-mor-
row, who are expected to give strong evil
dence.
When court was convened this morning
Chopper was recalled fer further cross
examination. He denied that the defend
ant had taken his position in the works,
aud that he was unfrlendly with him Oh
account of that.
The next witness was John S. Lewis,
who was called for the first time since the
trial of the strikers began. He was in
Washington on the 18th OF July, and saw
the defendant in Duffy's saloon between 9
and 10 O'Clock. AppeIman had a rifle.
He did not see him any moro until 3 or
o'clock in the afternoon. Defendant could
not have remained in Washington in the
interim without being seen by witness.
In the cross-examina alton the witness adj
mitted that he could not be exact about
the time he saw Appelman in the morn
ing.
Conductor Hill gave testimony that did
not vary in any respect from that given in
former trials. He knew AppelmaD by
sight, but was not on speaking terms with
him. He identified him as one of the men
who was in the carriage when it was
driven away from the caboose
Brakeman Teeple corroberated Conduc-
+nr,
not in a position to see the carriage when
it was driven away from the caboose, and
therefore could not recognize the defen-
dant as one of the meu who were In it.
Martin HalloTan was put on the stand
and the offer was made to prove that
the defendant and Worden associated dur
ing the strike and for several days pre-
vious to the wreck. The defense objected
on the ground that no conspiracy had
been proven, and that it was no part of
the resgestR. The matter was taken I'M
der advisement and the attorneys in
structed to produce authorities in the
morning.
q. w. Winnie, who was connected with
the cUmmissary department of the A. r.
o. during the strike and carried provisions
to the strikers guard at the trestle on
July II, swore that on his return he met
wagon in which he only recognized Wor-
den. Hatch ana Sherburn.
Archie Gonaghie testified that he was at
WORK on George Bright's farm. half mile
east Of the trestle and just south of tbs
track on July IL. While sitting under
tree eating his lunch be heard shot in
the direction OF Sacramento. and imme-
diately afterward he saw man walking
on the track just opposite him. He also
saw crowd of men at the trestle. The
man walking on the track fired his gun in
the air, and the men at the trestle disap-
peared. The man with the gun also dis
appeared 10 tho same direction. Soon
afterward he saw the train come along
and go off the trestle. Witness did not
recognize the man with the gun.
The case will go on tomorrow morning
at tha uSUal hour
