1t is in evidence, both in court re-
cords and public documents, that GER
tain state and county treasurers have
received and pocketed interest on
public funds. and l have myself seen
checks bearing the endorsement of
certain state treasurer that need
some explanation.
It cannot be denied that certain
daily papers claimed to be in favor of
an investigation of these matters and
possibly would be now but for one of
two cause.-the hypnotic influence of
certain banks and politicians, or per-
sonrl animosity toward the writer
hereof.
1t is equally true that one or more
members of the Legislature are re-
ported to have been seen in close con-
fab with certain bankers and ex-state
treasurers, possibly seeking for light.
in which event it would be we'll for
him or them to give the public the
benefit of such researches.
The public do not want any trf1ing

And why, unless there be something

Does it not show that the financial

WHEAT MOVING UPWARD.
An Advance of Three Cents
Has Caused Intense Ex-
element.
1t Is Expected That Something Will
Come Of the Syndicate Deal
To-Day.

It was confidently expected that some
thing would drop in the wheat line yester-
day. That something" was nothing more
nor less than the sale by the syndicate of
the Fair wheat.
1t has been rumored for several days on
the street that McGlaufin e. Company
had received several offers ior the 1SO. 600
tons of wheat stored at Port Costa.
McGlaut1in u Co. wanted a little more
than the bidders were willing to paw.
Only last week it is stated an offer of
10 cents was made and as promptly re-
fused by the brokers. They are holding
out for bigger price, though it is not
considered probable that they will get it.
1t is thought that they might receive So,
but that is the limit.
II have nothing to say about the syndi-
cate, said McGlaufiin last night, land
have not sold yet"
Mr.. Bresse, the junior member of the
hrm, acknowledged that the syndicate"
wheat belonged to the estate of the late
Senator Fair
There is absolutely nothing new in the
wheat situation" said he. $50 far as our
connection with the matter is oncerned,
see no occasion for concealment. The syn
dlcate wheat, as everybody knows, be-
longed to Fair, and that is all there is to 1t.
We have not sold it vet, but we will as soon
as the proper bid is made.'
On Change yesterday things were de-
cidedly lively for a time. The Chicago
market opened strong, a point or two
higher than the day before. The Local
market followed suit, and in a short tline
was jumping along at lively clip. During
the day it advanced cents, though the
closing quotations fell to within half cent
of Thursdays mark.
1t is worthy of note that December wheat
wear ago was only 81 OH, while the clos
ing quotation Yesterday was 81 O63. 1t is
believed that were the Fair wheat not in the
way, prices would go steadily upward, and
what is more-stay there for some months
to come. also that the Fair wheat Will be
disposed of either to-day or tomorrow.

FIRE INSURANCE RIGHTS
Can the Farmers Alliance
Engage in That Line of
Business?
AN IMPORTANT ARGUMENT.
Attorneys Coogan and Gator SUBJ
NIT the Matter to Judge
Murphy.

Judge Murphy was called upon to decide
knotty point yesterday.
Insurance Commissioner M. r. Higgins
mad sued the Farmers Alliance and Indus.
trial Union of California. to enioin it from
engaging in the business of insuring from
tlre risks. The whole mattsr annarentIv
turned on section 461, a new proyision of
the Civil Code, which stipulates that secret
and fraternal orders having the benefit az
members only in view should not he re-
quired to comply with the regulations of
the State department of insurance REGARD
ing business insurance of the public.
Attorney Coogan appeared for Higgins
and contended that the Farmers Alliance
according to its own 'plan of action" was
not one of the mutual benefit societies in
the scope of the action as regards its fire
insurance. To begin with, the amount of
its fire policies might be paid to mortgages
which took the benefit out of the category
of 'benefit to members only" Then,
20 per cent of the ''tontine reserve fund.-
could be loaned on mortgages, which made
the Alliance essentially an organization for
profit. Then again, the compensation of
the executive officers could be fixed by the
executive board, and the only difference
dlscernible between the Alliance and the
old-time companies was that the ''secre-
tdI VI IIouIdIlCc VI luc AllIdUCe was dll-
thorized to levy assessments. Their rev.
enue was derived from identically the
same source, viz. by admission fees, dues
and assessments, and in all respects the
fire department of the Alliance was
purely business concern for profit.
Attorney T. V. Gator, for the Alliance,
contested this view roundly. He main
tanned that the benefits of the fire depart
ment of the Alliance were intended for the
members only. Although the amounts of
premiums could be assigned to mortgages,
only the farmer would be protected, and if
he was not in good standing and was ex-
PEELED the mortgage could take nothing.
Moreover, Gator took the ground that
the right to protect property is an inherent
constitutional right. Where men were
voluntarily associated for the protection of
their property the State assumed that they
knew their own risks were not exposed TO
misrepresentation and it did not propose
to interfere. He maintained that the ALI
ance was exempt under the section referred
to from the jurisdiction of the State insur-
ance department. He claimed more
broadly that where corporations came into
court to ask that monopoly in any line be
1egaliZed every doubt in the courts mind
should be resolved in favor of natural
rights.
Judge Murphy asked some pertinent
questions and the matter was submitted on
briefs.

WOULD NOT CONVICT HER
The Jury in the Case of Mrs
WOrthingtOn Fails
to Agree.
Judge Belcher Scores the Defense
Theory of Insanity as
"Gauzy."

Judge Belcher yesterday discharged the
jury in the Worthington case as unable
to agree. His Honor said:
I think it will be hopeless to keep you gen.
tlemen here any longer. / understand that
many OF you stood for acquittal. 1 think that
very strange. The defense of insanity was so
gauzy that it was absolutely unworthy of Gre
dence. l cannot understand any one so allow
ing his sympathy to interfere with his judg-
ment of the law or the evidence in the case
You can go, gentlemen.
The court also stated that the case had
taken twenty-one days to try and had been
very expensive, and he was sorry no con-
clusion had been reached. Mrs. Worth
ington would be tried again and he ordered
the case put down for Saturday to be set.
Attorney Haskell stated that he would
apply tor change of venue on the ground
Of the courts remarks regarding the
''gauziness" of the defense of insanity.
1t was understood that the jury stood
about half for acquittal and the remaining
half for manslaughter.
Judge Belcher declared that he had no
interest one way or the other, but in view
OF the exhaustive manner in which the
| case had been tried he would have pre-
ferred that the jury should render a YER
dict OF mot guilty" rather than that they
should have been unable to agree.

THE MACINTOSH ROBBERY
Walter Ross, One of the Four
Men Arrested on Monday,
Identified.
He Is Brought From Oakland and
Booked at the City Prison for
the Crime.

Walter Ross was brought from Oakland
last night by Detective Coffey and booked
at the City Prison on the charge of rob-
berry. Besides the Identification by
Cereghino and Murphy, it will be remem-
bered that Macintosh, when he saw the
four men in the prison on Monday, was
convinced that Ross was the short man
who slipped in by the rear door and in be-
hind the counter and startled him by or
dering him to throw up his hands.
The Oakland police, although satisfied
that George Ross and the two Holland
boys were implicated in the drugstore
robbery, were not so sure about Walter,
but they held him till they were able to
get the man they were after. They did so
yesterday.
He is Jake Oppenheimer, an ex-messen-
ger-boy who in 1892 got eighteen months
for assault to murder Superintendent
Weihe of the American District Telegraph
Company.
Captain Lees said last night that Open
heimer is dangerous youth and he be-
lieved he was the third man concerned in
the robbery at the Sutter-street branch of
the San Francisco District Telegraph Com
pany for which Hill Durkin and Daniel
Lawler have been held to answer before
| the Superior Court. The captain added
that Oppenheimer and some others had
| planned to rob another of the branch
| telegraph offices last night.
! Two of the four men arrested on Monday
| in this City by the Oakland police for the
| robbery in Garrett & Taggart's drugstore
| have been identified in connection with
the hold-up of John S. Macintosh, the
| saloon-keeper at Leavenworth and Meal
lister streets, last Sunday morning.
| Detective Anthony took John Creghino,
who keeps saloon on the opposite corne
to Macintosh, and c. L. Murphy, a bicycl,
| instructor, to the Oakland City Prison yes
terday morning to have look at the foul
| footpads.
| Murphy identified Walter Ross thor
| oughly as one of the four men he saw or
| Leavenworth street near MacIntosh's sa
loon few minutes before the robbery. He
also identified the cane foun d on the stree
as the one Ross had in his hand.

MERCER DENIES IT ALL.
The Administrator of the Osborn Estate
Says He Is Not Guilty.

The Administrator of the Osborn Estate
Says He Is Not Guilty.
Mrs. Mary Maria Osborn, widow of the
late Joseph Osborn, recently preferred
serious charges against the administrator,
Robert j. Mercer, of her husbands estate,
duplicating also her husbands old mining
partner, R. f. Knox.
The specific charges were neglect on the
part of Mercer to ascertain the full value
of the estate, or collision with Knox,
whereby information as to the collection
of $4,000 on a life-insurance policy was
delayed, and property almost to the value
of 100000 had not been included in the
inventory of the estate, which the widow
stated had been reported to her by Knox
and Mercer as practically of nominal
value
Yesterday Administrator Mercer filed a
specific denial to the allegations of the
complaint. He denies that the widow was
| ignorant of the collection of the insurance
money until January IL, 1895, but AYERS
that she had been informed thereof and
denies that she had been repeatedly told
! by K. +. Knox or his wife that there was
nothing in the estate, or that they were
making such payments out of their own
funds, or that she was in fact or otherwise
an object of charity.
Mercer also denies that the mining prop
erty referred to had not been included in
| the inventory. This was that known as
the Manhattan or Porphyry mine and
quarter section of land in Lake County.
He alleges that the latter was included in
the inventory as prepared by himself, and
that the insertion of the same by the ap-
praisers was unwarranted and caused the
same to be twice appraised.
He also denies that there are other min
ing properties belonging to the estate not
included in the inventory and appraise-
ment, or that there are any assets of the
copartnership of Osborn 81 Knox from the
sale of merchandise or TASKS of quicksil-
yer taken from the Manhattan mine which
are omitted from the inventory.
The administrator also denies that the
misrepresentation contained in the in
ventory caused one Wilson, who had a
claim for $500 against the estate, to move
the court to set aside its order for family
allowance to the widow, or that there are
any misrepresentation or misstatements
in the inventory. He denies that Knox
was the sole source of information as to
the estate, and that the administrator had
been lax in his efforts for the widow.
Having answered the allegations OF the
petition, he prays that the citation Issued
thereon may be discharged
