ridge, attorneys for George E. Barron, the
contestant in the Barron will contest, to-
day filed notice that the plaintiff and
contestant in the Barron case will move,
at the time that the motion for new trial
is heard, to strike from the files of the
court the atfidavits heretofore filed in sup
port of the motion for new trial by Eva
Rose Barron, Morris Newton, George w.

do not set forth any matter relevant to the
motion for new trial, which under the
Code of Civil Procedure can be applied for
or supported by affidavits.

farms, except in the hop and beet fields
but those who are so employed get 81 a
day.
Mr.. Kolb said that Mr.. Downing had
told him that he would employ japanese
in order to keep up the sugar industry.
Mr.. Kolb believes that white labor will do
this work as well as coolies. On Lillien-
thal's big hop ranch white men had
worked the land at S2S per acre. japanese
took the work for $22 per acre.
]. n. Arendt, a merchant in Pleasanton,
was the next witness. He furnishes goods
to the japanese on Downing's account.
The coolies bring a passbook from Down
ing and he furnishes the goods. Downing
is the only rancher he has dealt with in
this way.
A. r. Downing, the farmer who was men
toned so frequently by the other witnesses,
was called to the stand. He acknowledged
that he employs between seventy and
eighty japanese on the beet sugar crop.
They make about IS or 80 cents a day per
man on an average. Mr.. Downing was
questioned as to the nature of the contracts
he had made with the Japs. and finally
produced the documents. One was be-
tween OdUO one Slut tllO blc GISdSdnGOU
Hop Company and Downing on the other.
By it Sato and Downing are to receive SIS
per acre, of which 81 per acre is to be with
held until the thirty-sixth day after the
com pletion of the work.
The balance, $11 per acre, is to be paid
to them at the completion of the work, ex-
cept they are to receive on account thereof
in monthly installments at the end of each
month at the rate of not to exceed $5 per
month for each man employed during the
particular month, if in the judgment of
Davis foreman of the firm) an adequate
proportion of the whole amount of work
has been done during said month to justify
said payment, and if said Davis is
satisfied at the time of making said
